Who cares. They are all the same. They and their Fulani and Hausa Muslim brothers are the same.
Gowon and Danjuma were both minorities and Xtians.

No Igbo man should give a rat about how the Northerners be they Xtian or Muslims sort themselves out.

To be honest, I seriously do not believe he's ND. I've noticed a pattern with the mofo...he's either trying to start ND vs. SE palava or Anioma vs. SE palava. Each time he's claiming ND jumping from one state to another screaming ND. Heck the Nigga even goes around claiming ND have the same ancestry blah blah. He once told me that Anioma and the rest of ND have the same "ancestry" and Igbo comes from us. I'm like the Bleep? I'm starting to seriously doubt his ND claim

We all know the people that are known to do that.

Only by placing the IGR side by side with debt profile can we get a clearer picture.

For example, we know that Lagos and Edo are swimming in debt.

Debt doesn't matter, afterall America is highly indebted, grin some naysayers say.
Well America has a strong military to back her debt, do Edo and Lagos have such?

Look where the Greek debt left them.

The Northern states may have poor IGR, but atleast they are not swimming in debt.

Enugu should watch it though, her debt is high.

You have a point with Etche. I recently joined an Etche closed group in Facebook to get a feel of the people.

They are like Ika, Many anti Igbo folks there, with few Igbophilic ones challenging them, and then many fence sitters.

But it has not degenerated to Ikwerre level there, there is yet hope for Etche. And there seem to be two Etche towns still in Abia state, and those might be our trump card.

After I read this, my first thought was...the person must be a none igbo, no doubt.

So I researched him to see if the Nigga is real

1.) He's real
2.) He reside in Kano state
3.) He works for Kano state government
4.) He used to be special adviser to a past Kano state governor and now he's a special adviser of their internal blah blah to the current Kano state government

So in other words APC should try a little bit harder because this is beyond stale. I repeat APC you can call all Igbo in your payroll to rant rubbish....your president hated igbos...he's displayed it on multiple occasions and likewise we'll replicate that his hate.

Also him choosing igbo as his running mate isn't proof he likes igbo people. He tried to play igbo wayo like he did yoruba now. He taught igbo will vote for him because in the average northerners mind, he thinks igbo are like them that are desperate for power thus will vote "our son". What he learned is we won't vote a dullard with zero idea how to rule in just because " our son" is standing next to him.
No wonder. So because the efuluefu is receiving crumbs from a northern state, he will now rope Ndiigbo into slavery.

When you see an Igbo chanting love for Buhari, APC , or Nigeria, look well, the motivation is usually selfish and greed driven.

Azikiwe never wanted secession, that is clear, and not the bone of contention here.

"In 2003, President Buhari, the then presidential flag bearer of APP, picked a full blooded Igbo son, Senator Chuba Okadigbo, as his running mate for that year’s presidential election. Again, in 2007, he picked Chief Edwin Umezoke as his running mate, having won the presidential ticket of ANPP for that year’s presidential election too. On both occasions, the Igbo nation rejected Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and her sons who ran alongside him at the polls. If Buhari hates Ndigbo, would he have chosen Igbo people as his running mates on two occasions – persons who had the potentials to succeed him if he had won power on any of the attempts?"

So? Must Ndiigbo vote for Buhari because he picked an Igbo vice? Do we look like Yorubas?

Is this nolonger democracy where we have our right to choose who ever we want? Why didn't the Yorubas vote for Buhari in 2003, 2007 ? Because their son was not picked as a vice?

Shouldn't Ndiigbo be praised for not playing tribal politics, ie voting an OBJ candidature with no Igbo VP twice over a Buhari with Igbo VP, isn't that a sign of political maturity and neutrality, must we now choose the Yoruba tribal amala politics that started looking the way of Buhari from 2011 when he started presenting a Yoruba VPs?

His choice of Igbo candidates in 2003 and 2007 has nothing to do with love for Ndiigbo, it was more of political opportunistic thinking. With the leading political party presenting non Igbo presidential candidate during those years, Buhari thought he could attract Igbo votes with an Igbo VP, it never worked because Igbos don't play tribal politics, he tried the same tricks with Yorubas in 2011 with minimal success and in 2015 with maximum success.

Politics › Re: President Buhari, Ndigbo And The Politics Of Hate - Chris Chukwubuzor Azuka by Igboid:
A lot has been said about President Muhammadu Buhari’s hatred for Ndigbo and how he is fighting the Igbo nation, denying her strategic appointments in his government. Some Igbo leaders are even insinuating that the president is actually the one creating the resurgence of the Biafran agitation through his politics of hate.

But does President Buhari really hate Ndigbo and seek to diminish the Igbo nation? On the other hand, do the Igbos actually have any love for Mr. Buhari himself? Are they trying to make things any easier for the president and themselves? If President Buhari does hate the Igbo people, what exactly are their sins against him? Today, an average Igbo man is being made to believe that the president is the problem of Ndigbo, and should therefore be hated by all. They have been made to believe that any Igbo man who supports Mr. Buhari must be a saboteur who wants to remain perpetually enslaved to the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy.


Did Buhari not marginalize the Igbo in his appointments, Yes or no? Mr Adebuzor Ewuka?

Did Buhari not refer to the SE as 5% for not voting him?

If Ndiigbo doesn't love the president, it's because he has not so far given us reason to, is Buhari making things easy for himself with his appointment policy where the Igbos are marginalized and sacking policy where the Igbos come top of the list?

You should ask Buhari Igbo sins against him, since you are obviously his spokesman.

Ofcourse, you are a saboteur, a filth of nature, that will explain why you are pointing at your father's house with left hand, with hope of eating from crumbs off Buhari's table.

"The seeming cold war between the president and some Igbo leaders has refused to die down one year after the election that brought Mr. Buhari to power. Although, while the president has since moved on with the business of governing Nigeria, these Igbo leaders are yet to find the humility and discipline to accept the fact that President Buhari is no longer an opposition candidate, but now the leader of this nation and to engage him constructively for the good of their people"


Who are these Igbo leaders the stupid Ewuka of author is speaking about? How many Igbo leaders have been more vocally anti Buhari than Femi Kayode and Fayose?

Are Ngige, Ogbonnnaya Onu, Okorocha, etc no longer Igbos? Are they now Yorubas?

Politics › Re: Ikwerre - Igbo - 22 MISINFORMATION ON IGBOS by Igboid:
[b] Who in his right senses would take seriously the Ojukwu, an Oxford University graduate for that matter, whom it took 5 incidents of massacre of his own people to see the light and thus began to ask for confederation? That was not naivete at all but political desperation carried too far. No university graduate at his age 34 years can be so sincerely naïve. A serious and sincere person should not have once more believed that there was still hope of national unity after Zik's NPC-NCNC alliance could not stop Northerners from continuing with shedding Igbo blood after the 1945 and 1953 massacres let alone the 1966 one which happened under Ironsi. This was why no one took Ojukwu too seriously in his later demand for all what not as they feared he could still later capitulate to the North as he had been demonstrating with his sending of wounded Igbos back to the scene of horror.
If his sending back of Igbos to the North was "genuinely" about indicating constant readiness for national unity then he should have sent them back again the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, .............. times until Northerners stopped killing them.
Was he naive for ever believing in Nigerian unity and giving this unity a chance, even at the cost of the life of his people? Tough question for posterity to answer. [/b]

The last Igbo massacre occurred in 1953, before the July coup. And after that, even the North was at war with self, with the Jos and Tiv riots that were violently quenched, Even the West was soaked in blood as operation Wetie raged on, it was a rough beginning for all, and it's not hard to see why Zik and Even Ojukwu wer. willing to give the New country a chance.

On the sending the Igbos back to the North, that was simply an act of an innocent heart hell bent on giving the country's unity a chance, however, the North betrayed that trust and from then henceforth, Ojukwu stance on the unity of the country took a different course. Only a loose centre would do, he realized, and that was what he went for and argued for strongly at Aburi.

Your idea of him sending Ndiigbo to the North for infinity till the race it exterminated again exposes your Igbophobia and malevolence thought towards the Igbo. Good a thing both you and your Edo people are inconsequential in the scheme of things as it stands today.
Politics › Re: Ikwerre - Igbo - 22 MISINFORMATION ON IGBOS by Igboid: 2:24pm On Jun 26, 2016
Awolowo's gave his advice to gowon as a Minister under Gowon. Enahoro was not part of Gowon's government, so your attempt to glue Enahoro to that policy is artificial and mischievous.



This vindicates my stand that Igbos do everything out of political expediency and not for principles or based on truth. If you really have issues against Edoids why wait till they purportedly decided to express igbophobia? It was just like how Ojukwu watched the massacre of Igbos and never complained until it affected him politically as Ironsi was kicked out of power. Edoids on the other hand started expressing their Igbophobia Since after the 1967 Midwest invasion by Igbos.



Enahoro role in promoting the starvation policy is well documented and Akenzua role in scuttling the Aburi Accord is well documented too, as well as his Igbophobic article in 1965.


Why wait till Edoids come fore with their Igbophobia before puting them in their place like I am currently doing to you?
Well the Igbo would rather spend more Energy on growing into the most successful group out of Africa and advancing their individual and group interests than care about insignificant haters like Edos, as far as Edos keep their Igbophobia innate and stay comfortable in their perpetual insignificant and irrelevant position in the scheme of things.

No, Ojukwu watched the massacre of Igbos and decided enough is enough. He did this by drawing us a map called Bia***, and said, come back home within this line and will together fight for our collective survival against all odds. And for that, he occupies an envious place amongst the Igbo which has seen him honoured more than any Edo man can ever dream of.

Edos started expressing their Igbophobia in 1965 with Oba Akenzua infamous article, I will Post it here later, and went on to complete their Igbophobia when they conspired to scuttle the Aburi agreement that would have benefited them too. All these before. Gowon invaded Gakem and the East match to Lagos through the Midwest, a region Ndigbo have more political stake at than Edos, With indigenous Igbo population, where one of them, Osadebey, a staunch Igbo union member, was a premier before 1966 coup.

Deadlytruth:
At some point you call Benin a mushroom kingdom. At other points you call it a rampaging empire. Do words have meaning to you at all?
If the western Igbos fought a war of survival against Benin, then how come it was Benin that had to build a moat to protect herself according to you? Is this logical at all? If Benin ever actually attempted to forcefully subdue the western Igboid tribes, then how come they still so respect the Benin palace that till today no new king of theirs accepts crowning unless the Oba's delegates have arrived the coronation venue?
It took Britain four months to subdue Benin despite Britain's far more sophisticated weaponry. And at a point the British soldiers had to go back to London to reinforce. Even after British conquest Benin Kingdom still exists till today. A benin King (Akenzua) became a national political figure post-conquest. Where are the Nri and Arochukwu kings and palaces today?
All Igbos sheepishly followed Zik in his "one-Nigeria" apologetics because Zik told them that one god of Igbos had destined them to be in power over Nigeria and Africa forever and dominate all other tribes therefore. Mention just one Igbo who openly disagreed with Zik over his "One-Nigeria" doctrine back then.
Igbos were the first to befriend the Core Muslim North and show loyalty to them by helping them jail fellow southerners. Ojukwu and Ironsi worked to sustain the Hausa-Igbo friendship by releasing Hausa detainees and the coupists but holding in further detention all other southern tribes. That was a clear indication to Akenzua that Ojukwu and Igbos had not truly repented of their love for bondage under the Muslim core north. But Gowon a middle-Belt Christian came and released Enahoro and all other Southern tribes men from detention, so it was natural for Akenzua to trust a fellow Christian Gowon more than Ojukwu who was equally a Christian but had been hobnobbing with the Muslim core North to punish Southern co-Christians with further detention. Another basis for their doubt of Ojukwu's sincerity in asking for federalism and confederalism was that after Ojukwu wholeheartedly supported and cheerfully assisted Ironsi in promulgating the wicked unification and anti-secession decrees, but suddenly turned around in less than a year to start seeking Akenzua's and Enahoro's support in demanding for a reversal of those same two wicked decrees without first consulting them and tendering sincere apology for his past misdeeds. That was arrogance too far and which no one tolerates.
Bini was a mushroom empire that sucked the blood of the weak.
Bini empire was defeated in a matter of a day. Sir admiral Harry Lawson completely ransacked Bini in 10 days the war lasted. Bini. Mushroom empire fell in 10 days. Aro confederation lasted for months. Go figure!
And no, British didn't have to go anywhere to reinforce,
The first expedition by Philip failed because he didn't get British approval, he acted on his own, and it was not really a war, as there were hardly any cross fire, they were just arrested and slaughtered by few Bini boarder guards.

Yes, It made sense that they built moats. When you invade a people and they defeat you, chances are that they could pursue you all the way to your own home and try to exact revenge. Bini was being tactful with the Moats.

How exactly did Akenzua become a national figure as Bini Oba. The Akenzua known was Akenzua the civil servant that worked at Enugu, and not Akenzua that later became an Oba of a mushroom empire on its death throes if not already dead.

Oba Akenzua remained a non entity that was reduced to house Boy by Yoruba Obas in the Western house of chiefs.

No, It wasn't Zik who made that comment. This was Zik's comment:

"It would appear that the God of Africa has specifically created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of the ages".

He made that comment at an Igbo Union meeting in Aba while addressing a bunch of Igbo nationalists in Aba. That statement was lifted out of context from his long speech in that gathering in 1949 by Yoruba propaganda media. Zik only meant to energize the Igbo community to commit more into independence fight.
He never denigrated other ethnic groups and spoke ill of them. He only sought to uplift the Igbo. This is in contrast to Oba Akenzua Igbophobic article on Ndiigbo in 1965, Akintola Igbophobic "Yoruba Ronu" speech and Saraduna infamous anti Igbo speech.

While Igbos focused on uplifting themselves, other Nigerian envious groups would rather focus on bringing Ndiigbo down than channeling the effort towards lifting themselves.

But even at that, the comment remain ever true. The God of the Earth had set Ndiigbo apart as a special race, that will tower over others through sheer hardwork and will power. A city that is set on a hill never to be Hidden. A constant pain at the heart of our haters who surround us. He was only stating a fact and nothing else. And he was speaking of Africa and not even Nigeria, for Nigeria is too small a playing field for Ndiigbo.

Lol! Ironsi held the coup planners in jail because he believed that they were more safe there. I don't know of the Northern coupists being released, I thought the coup was supposed to be an Igbo coup planned and executed solely by Igbo military men, so pray tell, what Northern coupists are you talking about?

Gowon couldn't have released any body in Enugu prison without Ojukwu permission, Ojukwu controlled the East, and never recognized Gowon's power over him or the East.
If Enahoro, Awo and other Edo treacherous beings reason for working against Aburi was because of petty vendetta against imaginary perceived injustice they felt done to them by Ojukwu and Ironsi , then they were even more pathetic than I thought.
Why should they take their grouse on Ojukwu and Ironsi and then exonerate the North( under Balewa) that rightly jailed them for committing treason against Balewa's government.
Oh I forgot, Awo, Enahoro and other AG traitors blamed Zik and Ndiigbo for their sin of treason, claiming that it was Ndiigbo that set them up, while at the same time exonerated Balewa, Akintola and the Yoruba judge that served them their justice?

Yet it's this same delusional Edo and Yoruba folks that you claim were neutral and expected Ojukwu to present himself to in Bini to gang up with their Northern masters and eliminate?

A coup was carried out that eliminated Northern leaders and with nerves hot in the North, you think the wise decision for Ironsi to make was release bunch of traitors ( Awo and Enahoro) who the North put in prison for trying to depose Balewa from power? To what end?

What anti seccession decree are you talking about? Again the conditions and scenario pre July coup were not same with those of post July coup, Ojukwu stance changed to reflect that. It's as simple as that.

[quote author=Deadlytruth post=46926671]"The I too was free to tie Edo defence to the Ijaw narrative and I rightly did. Is what is good for the goose no longer good for the gander"

No, you don't. Ijaws have nothing to do with the bone of contention of this discussion, which is secession clause. Bringing Ijaw into the discussion is an unnecessary diversion created by your desperation.






"And I have been making it clear that Edos and Yorubas still believe in secession but not ready to risk going about it in concert with Igbos because Igbos are hypocritic insincere about secession but only crying for it because they are no longer in charge of "One-Nigeria" and that if anything returns them to power once more and they begin to benefit from the fraud they'll tag as tribalists whoever talks of secession. They did so before when they felt they needed other tribes to survive"


There was never a time Ndiigbo were in charge of one Nigeria. What we were in charge of, was our destiny in the Eastern region, Zik gave up ultimate power to ensure Nigerian independence.
Nigeria is too small for Ndiigbo, we want the world. The Eastern region was the fastest growing region in the whole of. West Africa as of 1960, it was not being powered by crude oil or proceeds from Edoland, North or Yorubaland. It was powered by Coal and Palm oil that is found abundant in the Entire East.

Yorubas and Edoids are one Nigeria apologists and have always been so, you dread the outcome of Post Nigeria. Your claim to being pro secession is only your treachery speaking, like Awo pretended to be pro secession when he visited Ojukwu at Enugu when in truth he dreaded the future of an independent Oodua republic surrounded by Northern military, Enahoro and Akenzua were also driven by same fear. No one is deceived by your pro secession cause. Your fear and bile over the mention of pro secession groups like IPOB, MASSOB, MOSOP, NDA, Billie group, and impulsive need to demonize them, betrays you lots treachery of pro secession stand. You lots deceive no one.

This would explain why you lots sabotaged the Aburi agreement





"The Ijaws were mentioned by me not in connection with the secession clause proposal but as an evidence to prove you wrong on the claim that Ojukwu's and Zik's craze about "One-Nigeria" was informed by fear of Britain"

You still fail to get the point. There wouldn't be independence with seccession clause. You unnecessarily introduced Ojukwu into the discussion, when the discussion was about Zik and seccession clause. It wasn't Zik who fought to squash the Boro insurrection, it was Ojukwu. The introduction of that aspect of history, was yet again another diversion by your that is totally out the scope of our discussion. Ojukwu and Zik were two different individuals with conflicting interests for most times of their lives. Your desperation dragged Ojukwu, who had nothing to do with seccession clause into the discussion, as a means to introduce Ijaws into the discussion. Both Ojukwu and Ijaws are not part of the seccession clause drama.






"You assumed there is no evidence that Enahoro proposed secession clause and you've ironically been trying to rationalize Zik's rejection of it. Hmmm!
Yes I dropped the Eritrea Angle after I successfully used it to puncture your over-exaggeration of British approval/disapproval in determining the outcome of the quest for secession in Africa."

No, I argued there was never room for seccession clause and so Zik cannot botch what never existed, Zik was anti secession and not anti secession clause.

No, you were totally eviscerated on the Ethiopia-Eritrea angle, you exposed your ignorance there and was quick to avoid the ignominy of the defeat you suffered for ever bringing up that scenario up, as they were not in anyway related to our issue of discourse.
Ethiopia defeated a weakened Italy with foreign help to gain independence and not Britain.

If you want, we can revisit the Eritrea-Ethiopia discussion again.








"Kanu has a Radio Biafra through which he makes his hate speeches. He even once called Jonathan a fool. In fact all members of Radio BIAFRA Facebook page call SS people fools and slaves of the North for being indifferent to Biafra movement. Go visit it. But Edo collectively has no online Page dedicated to insulting any other tribe in Nigeria"

Radio Bia*** makes no hate speeches against any Nigerian group, except in retaliation to those who issue out hate speeches against Bia***ns, nothing like SS people, as we have Igbo people indigenous to SS and they even wield more influence in SS than Edo, so Ndiigbo can't insult "SS people" as such term doesn't exist. Radio Biafra Facebook page has no joy for Edos, or anybody that go about making anti Bia**** comments, it's often a case of self defense, action and reactions.





"And the very fact that Enahoro proposed secession clause did not really mean he wanted secession but that he was only trying to make a constitutional provision that would have instilled into all our future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance thus Nigeria would not have been so misgoverned to attract a military coup which culminated in a national tragedy of genocidal proportions.
Awolowo visited Ojukwu severally to discuss with him why he should not resort to war but to keep appealing for wider sympathy and support for implementation
But ojukwu followed his heart and not his head. If Awolowo and Enahoro were really the ones whispering into Gowon's ears to throw away the Aburi document then why did Ojukwu not shoot Awo dead when he came visiting to advice him against war? Remember Ojukwu hated double playing? Ifeajuna's execution was an example".


What emotion could a hypocrite that was globe throttling promoting starvation against his fellow countrymen have to instill in future generation other than hatred? Enahoro remain a disgrace for promoting that policy, and that will be all history will remember him for. What would his secession clause do that the Aburi he kicked against couldn't do, simply because he harboured igbophobic thought process?

Awo was a treacherous being. He came to Ojukwu feigning neutrality and understanding to the Eastern pains. Yet he returned to the East preaching starvation policy. He was blinded by his greed for power.
How exactly did Ojukwu resort to war, if I remember clearly it was Awo and co that backed Gowon as he brought war to the East via Gakem border in the modern Northern Cross River state.
Ojukwu negotiated for peace in Aburi, Edo and Yoruba dubious personalities persuaded him to botch it, but to instead match towards Bia**** to force his own brand of unity without justice and equity.




"Yes of course! Referendum for secession is not provided for in our constitution courtesy of Igbos' rejection of it. So it is illegal and asking for war for Igbos to make an unconstitutional demand.
The advice Edos have always had for Ndigbo is to get their NASS members to sponsor a bill for a restructuring which will capture confederal features, and then lobby the SS, SW and Middle-Belt for support so as to make majority against the core-North which is against it. That way Igbo will get secession peacefully"


Edos will do better to advice themselves, and prepare for a future under the Arewaoduanistan Islamic jihadist republic, Ndiigbo don't need the advice of treacherous beings that can't even help themselves in Nigeria.

Right to self determination is a fundamental right enshrined by divinity, any man made constitution against that is divinely unconstitutional and will certainly not stand the test of time.
Stop screaming SS, use Edo. Edo interests is in total uniformity with SW and parallel to that of most ethnic groups in SS.

Ogoni under MOSOP are demanding for secession and had once in the past done so. Ijaw under NDA is doing same.

Only the treacherous Edos and their Yoruba co travellers go about feigning pro secession but are yet hostile and anger filled towards all pro seccession groups in SS and SE region.

Keep waiting for Ndiigbo to sponsor another secession bill for you, so that you and your Yoruba co travellers will rally behind the scene at the back of your Northern masters and gang up against us again.
Keep waiting.

Enahoro it was who went throttling all over the globe, promoting the starvation policy as a legitimate weapon of war. So too was Alison Ayida.


Chief Anthony Enahoro said during an interview in July 1968 in New York : "...it (mass starvation) is a legitimate aspect of war..."

Alison Ayida said in July 1968 in Niamey Peace Talks:
"Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it against the rebels..."

And how is it exactly news that Zik stood against secession.

The bone of contention is, if there was ever room for secession clause in the first place by the British.

Ojukwu knew that Hausas had in 1945 and 1953 demonstrated their hatred for and strong will to always massacre Igbos for flimsy excuses yet he kept sending Igbos back to the North in the name of seeking peace. That was nothing other than unnecessary human sacrifice for political expediency of "peace". If he were totally Ignorant of the 1945 and 1953 massacres I would have agreed that his sending those Igbos back in 1966 was naïve and innocent.
Ojukwu whom you claimed did so much for Igbos failed to get up to 10% of Igbo votes in 2003 while OBJ a Yoruba man and lackey of the North swept the rest over 90%. That logically means Ojukwu did not really achieve much for Igbos or Igbos are simply ingrates. The APGA which Ojukwu left for them is in a state of atrophy today as both PDP and APC each has more Igbo members than APGA.

You are very correct to say that Igbos are crying of marginalization despite receiving a million times what Edo can ever receive. Yes you are, beacuse it vindicates my position that Igbos' cry of marginalization is not a cry over injustice but a cry over being refused to be in charge of that injustice and fraud called "One-Nigeria". Once they are in charge of the fraud they'll shut up.

GEJ won in 2011 with the votes of SS, SW and Middle-Belt each being higher than that of SE. He lost when Igbos started claiming to own him more than the SW, Middle Belt and even his own SS. He won in Edo, Imo State too gave a very high percentage of their votes to Buhari. GEJ chose to answer Azikiwe because he knew Igbos could easily be courted with mundane things. That was why Igbos did not bother when he abandoned the SE and pumped billions into infrastructure for the North. To Igbos, adopting the name, was more than infrastructural development.

Edos don't ever pray to have someone like Zik who watched his people's blood being shed yet continued chanting "One-Nigeria". Tufiakwa!!!!!!!

A lot of Igbos don't celebrate Zik. Even Ojuwkwu the overall Igbo leader called Zik a dreamer who left Ndigbo unclad and unprotected. Ojukwu purposely refused to attend his burial in order to spite his corpse. A man who was never stable in his life. Always aligned with the Norther feudal Oligarchy against the South. Edo will never have such a person.
It is a known fact that Enahoro was one of the proponents of Starvation policy, Awo wathe poster boy of it, and since until now, th Edos have not been vocal online with their Igbophobia, we simply let their own part of the Bia**** History be. But now that the Edos are becoming more vocal with their innate Igbophobia like their Yoruba brothers, expect from now onwards similar dedication to be put by Igbos in decimating your propaganda and exposing your ugly pasts, lik we have done with your Yoruba co travellers.

Ojukwu was born in the North, fluent in Hausa and Yoruba language. One can understand his naivety in believing in Nigerian unity even after the first massacre of Ndiigbo following the July coup, Ojukwu still believed in the unity of the country, and after wide consultation with Northern leaders who promised him of Igbo safety, he once again told Igbos that came back from the North wounded and alive to return back, that everything had been sorted out, but yet again they were massacred, still Ojukwu never stopped believing in the nation's unity but from then on wanted a loose centre, he sought for this in Aburi, again the agreement was turn to shreds by Gowon on advice from Edo and Yoruba elements .

Was he naive for ever believing in Nigerian unity and giving this unity a chance, even at the cost of the life of his people? Tough question for posterity to answer.

Was declaring secession from Nigeria that period the right decision, absolutely. There is no nation if citizens can't reside peacefully without being massacred in any part of the nation. A country that can't guarantee it's citizens safety within its territory is a dead country.

Lol! Can Ndiigbo ever please our distractors, Ndiigbo voting a Yoruba man against an Igbo hero when viewed by a stable mind will be peceived as the testament of the Igbo free liberal spirit that holds not unto grudge done to her for long, but ever searching for advancement of her interests and for a better future, it would be seen as the epitome of detribalized nature of the average Igbo man.

But we know that an Igbophobic man is a deformed mind that is far from being stable, so your interpretation of the events of Obj winning votes in Igboland is to be expected.

The truth is that the official result was massively rigged by OBJ,most Igbos actually voted for Ojukwu, but the truth is also that if the official result reflected that reality, Igbophobic minds will still twist it and use it as a proof of the Igbo tribal nature, they would say: "Look, the Igbos only vote for one of their own and no other, they are wicked tribalists".


Igbos cry of marginalization, because we know we are worth more than Nigeria can ever offer us. Not even Igbo presidency will stop Igbo cry for independence from the colonial contraption, as it stands.

On the 2011 votes and Igbo significance to GEJ win, that was dealt in this thread by pazienza :https://www.nairaland.com/2689084/yorubas-fought-north-make-goodluck/4

Funny enough, that thread was opened by an Edo person. Without Igbo votes in 2011, there wouldn't have been a GEJ win.

Igbos knew that GEJ was not Igbo. Lol! GEJ can't speak Igbo, but we are not the type to bite off our nose to spite our face. GEJ embraced Ndiigbo from the beginning, his wife has roots in Ohuhu Umuahia, he called us his own, and we reciprocated in kind.
He didn't do much for us, but same can be said of the Yoruba and Northern past presidents too. Under GEJ equity was restored to the polity, and whenever equity reigned, Igbos would out thrived others.

This was the Edo/ Yoruba / North grouse with GEJ, not because he did much for Ndiigbo, cos he didn't, but because he restored equity to the polity , and equity is like fertilizer to Ndiigbo.

Both Enahoro and Akenzua were in Lagos rolling on the floor for Gowon and Northern military leaders, and worked against the East for the North. but today neither of them or their people have anything to show for it. Even Asaba has surpassed Bini city in most things.
