Please, the poster may not even be Igbo, so nobody should take the fool serious here.

obaaderemi:
Afghanistan's winters are brutal. Average temperature in January is below 1' degree below zero. Yet Nigeria is not as bad as Afghanistan.

If not for Taliban, Afhanistan is far ahead of Nigeria. The same demon is threatening to swallow Nigeria in the name of bandits and boko haram.
Oh, I forgot, you beloved president recently gifted Taliban some good number of cash.

How this thread became an Igbo bashing thread is still a mystery to me. And to my Igbo brothers on this thread, disgracing your ancestors, may God remember you all with a little token of wisdom. You pick your fight wisely. You guys are really a problem to we Igbo, running mouth and jumping into every topic to show yourselves. Tufiakwa! Make una try get sense. Bikonu.

cc: Lalasticlala, I wish you can push this article to frontpage, so as to balance views regarding Igbo disunity as widely believed.

I feel obligated to address Pastor Suleimans unfortunate diatribe, if only for posterity sake.
I wouldn't have felt much need to debunk these lies had they not also been spread from the most unlikely quarters - the educated, and even by mainstream media.
This is only a part of a very dangerous new trend of targeted hostile messaging against a particular section of the Nigerian populace that now also emanates from pulpits and Oba's palaces, deepening existing fault lines of religious and ethnic hate and bigotry. It is now a common trend for anyone who wakes up on the wrong side of his bed to pick on Igbos. All decency and caution have been thrown to the winds. Akin only to xenophobia, this is becoming an alarming trend.
If this kind of messaging were just being propagated by illiterates and certified idiots as usual, I wouldn't be much bothered. But, alas it is also gaining prominency among those we would otherwise have considered enlightened.
I mean, how do you blame a zone with 15 out of 109 Senators for the high turnover of Senate Presidents during the Obasanjo era. Does that even make sense to you? Indeed, out of the 15 only 14 were regular voting senators because 1 was the Senate President. The people who spread these pedestrian tales by moonlight cannot tell you any important role that South East people played in these persons removal. Yet, they keep peddling the falsehood.
How would you allege that it was the disunity of South East that got the 5 Senate Presidents out, except you are determined to do violence to facts and rape common sense?
First, the zone has the least number of senators of all geopolitical zones in Nigeria and so can hardly ever influence the selection or, removal of anyone, or indeed decide any direction for the House.
Secondly, out of the 5 Senate Presidents of that era, only 2 were impeached. Anyim and Nnamani served out their terms. Wabara resigned after the early morning broadcast by Obasanjo in which he alleged Wabara's involvement in "cash for budget". So the only 2 impeached were Okadigbo and Enwerem.
If you ever bothered to read Obasanjos book "MY WATCH" you will know that the removal of those Senate Presidents was a product of the political supremacy battle between Atiku and Obasanjo. Obasanjo wrote it in no uncertain terms that his battle for political space led to the manipulations, scheming, and shenanigans that consumed the political fortunes of those men. Money was regularly shared and the 109 house did their bit, upon the helplessness of the South East.
What those who spread these tales are doing is similar to where an adult farts and turns around to blame an innocent child seated nearby. So, even where the South East hasn't been disunited, some people still find a way of smuggling in the word "disunity" just because they must give a dog a bad name in order to seem justified in hanging it.
You would note of course that in the same era the position of PDP Chairmanship also witnessed a similar high turnover of occupants of that office - 6 Chairmen in 8 years !!! The Speakership of the House of Representatives zoned to North West also witnessed a similar turnover - 3 Speakers in those years. From Salisu Buhari (who was exposed by his own step mother and forced to resign by the northern majority in the House of Representatives) to Ghali Umar Naaba (who wasn't allowed to return to the House) to Aminu Bello Masari
It was all due to the fight between two gladiators, Obasanjo and Atiku. These two other important positions weren't being occupied by the South East. Yet, no one talks about those as disunity of the people that occupied the positions.
If you look at our recent political history you will see where persons from other zones fought each other to a standstill whether politically or otherwise. Yet no one makes a topic of "them vs them", because it is just seen as politics. I can cite several examples but I'll hold my brakes for now.
I am therefore at a loss why some people keep peddling these lies against Igbos and why they are still believed by some persons.
Ordinarily, political contestation should be a given in a democracy and it doesn't matter that the contestants share the same ethnicity, and we have seen this play out several times among persons of other ethnic groups, without stereotypes being created about them. But it seems that Igbos have even been denied such right in Nigeria, that anytime they have a different opinion from one another then it is a product of their disunity.
How can we build a nation when lies become more important than truths? How can we build a nation when you must find a reason to blame and castigate a part for what is not any of their fault? Why are some people bent on pushing this false stereotype of disunity, if not that they stand to gain from such disunity?
You say Igbo are not united because some apprentices steal from their oga, yet you forgot that the Igbo apprenticeship system has been the most successful job creation and entrepreneurship building platform. Would it have been that successful if what you mentioned was so rampant?
Is there any ethnic group in the world without good and bad people? Shouldn't it have been taken as normal that such a vast scheme that takes in millions of new entrants annually will also have some deviants?
How do you accuse the same people that through sheer creativity evolved their own unique structure which they have used to help one another grow from the ashes of a devastating war to a vastly successful people, of disunity ?
Why this constant attempt to gaslight and demonise a section of this country? Why has hate speech become normal and acceptable in Nigeria whenever it is directed at Igbos ?
Nigeria is walking a dangerous slope with acceptance of this anomally as normality
This is the time for all and especially prominent Nigerians involved in this to apply caution.

Nigerians are ready to elect demons to rule over them, as long as they can have the chance to insult and embarrassed Igbos online.
Even so called pastors have joined the train.

theTranslator:
shut up

Go and tell your father to shut up! Fool. You are the guys destroying this country with your tribalism.
Imagine what an Oba sat down to vomit. Make una continue sha.

Yoruba people, I off cap for una I swear. You guys can go any length to achieve your objectives. Just imagine a king.
In 2015 an Oba issued a threat, now this one again. With all the gragra una do, you installed one of the worst regime ever
in the history of this country, now you are positioned to repeat the same feat, with the usual Igbo blackmail. Make una continue o.
The surfer and pains will surely go round, regardless your status. ndi mgbu. tufia!

IPOB should go after these unknown gun men, that is the only way they can redeem their image. That Simon Ekpa may even be the worst enemy to IPOB if at all you guys will be clear in your thinking.

Zikojukwu:
Igbos' progress is denying some people sleep, walahi.

You no get sense walahi

Edusouls:
Anambraians are busy accumulating wealth all over overseas and Nigeria, criticising imo people and hope uzodimma, while they left their home for abakiliki hoodlums to dominate and unleash mayhem..

God go punish you severally if you don't desist from calling Abakeleke from your useless mouth.

Edusouls:
They are busy making money all over the place and criticising imo people while their home is being taken over by abakiliki miscreants, at a time they won’t be able to return home again

How do you know this guys are ndi Abakiliki? You guys keep acting the ostrich why your homeland burns. Una never serious to tackle security issues in your state. Always look for who to blame

IPOB really made me revaluate the so called intelligence of the Igboman. I'm highly disappointed

IPOB always in the business of denials. Tufiakwa!

Frigga13:
This boy Na real fool

Who wan take this one serious ..

Abakiliki people brain Dey their musCle .. reason dem be abakiliki

And even Umahi put 50 airports and 1 million infrastructures

E go decay and abakiliki man will always be abakiliki man

See people wey Dey promote Biafra in international community Walai the Biafran thing don turn joke already

You are an idiot to use one man's position as an avenue to attack a whole state. Which state are you from, let's compare data in terms of human resources, minus infrastructures, both past and present? Let's see who is really backward. Very ignorant and poverty stricken fools that hide behind keyboard to insult their fathers. Adaka

Mandate2023:
If we say igbos are confused Ipigs won't let us hear word

Nairaland should create a function to check both age and IQ levels to avoid stupid and childish comments as this.
One man opinion is now what Igbo wants.

I wish our politics is void of hate, death and destruction, Nigeria would have been a very beautiful blend of culture.

immortalcrown:
Did you complain about the celebrities' silence when Python Dance happened? I do not support destruction of human lives. But selective justice is the highest form of injustice. I am not a member of IPOB but I hate hypocrisy. IPOB was using only words of mouth until the government started killing IPOB members. I do not support war. But when a war is brought on a sane man, he defends himself. If Nigeria is a democratic country, why is IPOB's word of mouth a crime punishable by a massacre? Can there be democracy without freedom of expression? Meanwhile, I do not know if the attack in Soludo's LGA was by IPOB/ESN or not. I was not there.


I said I do not support destruction of lives. Then I said a sane man defends himself when a war is brought on him. That I do not support war does not mean I will fold hands and watch you if you attack me in my home. Or do you expect IPOB members to run away from their land? Illiteracy is your problem. I asked the poster if he complained about the celebrities' silence when python dance happened. I also mentioned selective justice in my comment. The two sentences explain the intention of my comment. But your brain is too weak to decode the simple English.

You have stupidly pointed fingers at IPOB from your ill concieved comment. So because python danced, we now have to burn down Igboland to make FG feel our pains? How you guys think is something worth of study. This is nothing but pure act of terrorism. But stop annoying our intelligence with your useless attempt to defend the obvious.

CharlotteFlair:
The breakfast will go round.

Which nonsense breakfast? You are destroying your land and think you can export it to other region?
Quit deceiving yourself.

I'm so disappointed by comments coming from my Igbo brothers on this thread, just because the author is someone they disliked. It is wisdom to digest the message and leave the messenger out of it. What has really befallen Igboland, only God can help us. A dangerous precedent has been set. Too bad.

ipobcannibals:
@ Yoruba are the only sophisticated people in Nigeria, that’s why the USA is building the largest embassy in the world in Lagos,,,,,not even built in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The Igbos on the other hand have never been sophisticated and civilized, they are primitive and mostly illiterates. That the Igbos have the highest paper qualification does not denote sense or reasoning capacity. Most Igbo are just too dumb and that’s why they believed that hunchback namadi cownu, a non-state actor can see a president, Donald Trump and get a new country.
Below is what Ipob bingos are circulating on their platforms:

How stupid can you be? Such a silly little mind, to label an entire ethnic group with such brand. your tribe is the most boastful, but very backward in common sense. Your ethnic group is that smart, yet sold one of the worst candidate in the history of the contraption.
If you are intelligent enough, your dounce mind would have known that their is a difference between an organization and an ethnic group.
You are just jubilating over a building that is erected to colonize you the more and counter the influence of China over Nigeria. You are just a pawn in the game of the big lords. You are a dumb fool, at the end.

I don't understand how somebody will stay in abroad and become a terrorist to his own people. I still shudder at this brand of terrorism.
When is the government going to move against Simon Nwaikpa so he get arrested and face the law for his terrorism in Igboland?

osinbanjoisaliar:
Forget dat one. Wike government go sweet die. We go watch comedy papa ajasco for 8yrs. And on top Naija economy go improve.

What nonsense comedy? Is that what we need at this critical time that the Nigerian system has been messed up. We need a serious minded individual that can aggressively and proactively restore Nigeria back to the path of progress.
The problem is that apart from been blinded by ethnitism, Nigerians are bunch of unserious people that are doomed to repeat same mistakes, yet expecting a different result...

I'd rather vote for Tinubu than Wike. I don't hate him, but his style of leadership is more like that of a dictator, than a democrat.

CocaineLord:
If you know how many women Future Hendrix,Drake,Davido,Wizkid,Aliko dangote,Tristan Thompson, Floyd Mayweather,Eddie Murphy etc don fvck yet their Glory is intact and they still super rich

Living a promiscuous lifestyle doesn't affect one's Glory...If it does, I would have been a begger but I've never been broke.... I've bleeped more than 1000 women and I'm not lying.

Except you're lazy,You can live a promiscuous lifestyle and still prosper...

Everybody is rich on the internet

Atticusxsz:
Whether they pray, repent and become anew, even becoming reverend fathers or go into priesthood or what have you, karma will definitely still play its role in their respective lives in one way or the other.

It might not necessarily be other people sleeping with their wives per se but it might be something far worse than that, that they'd probably wish people had slept with their wives instead. It's as simple as that and there's no two ways about it.

So, whether you repent or take a detour, your turn awaits.

Abi, una think say me wey be pitakwa pikin, wey dey dodge the experience abi na temptation since time immemorial like say dem swear am 4 my head, i no get sense eh?

Life doesn't need to be complicated. Na we dey cause am.

Back in the days, there was this landlord that his mother was sleeping with young guys in the hood. It was so embarrassing. This is a woman in her 60s o. She brings them home and fucck them without care. The landlord was so embarrassed but he couldn't stop it, regardless his threats and ginger, boys still dey knack him mama.
Someone recanted his history, that when he was in school, one of his hubby was sleeping with people's wives. Na him mama kama use punish am. These stupid kids on this thread don't understand that the universe is govern by laws and principles.

Most of the nonsense on this posts are just pure lies. These generation of scallywags are just doomed. No respect for basic principles that have sustained the human civilization from time immemorial. You come online to type rubbish because you think it's all fun. Generation of idiots.

And the mod that moved this very useless thread to the frontpage, you are also and idiot. A big one at that.

tit:
So when will a state in the mkpurumiri yeast have running water?

Does your state or region have running water? ode

LeoDeKing:
Simon Ekpa is greater than ojukwu, Soludo Azikiwe, Nnamdi Kanu, Hope Uzodimma, Ikpeazu, Peter Obi, Ken Nnamani and Ngozi okonja iweala combined.

When you die, you will be remembered for one thing, living a daily life on nairaland and posting trash any time Igbo is mentioned.
Your mission for life is really inspiring bro. Kudos to you.

Anaerobi:
Smiles.... Bro, you need to change the way to reason things please.

You have your phone with you, how do you expect the family to come out now they're in pain to start talking about the love one the lost?

If you know and understand the rules guiding journalism, you won't have made that statement. "Until the FG or Family" more than 5 Nation newspaper carried the news and you are still making blind aguemeny?

Saying that Ipob wish her dead made me conclude you seems to be the type that is never remorse for an act.
The Young girl name is Chinelo, and She's igbo.... What does that mean to you?



Brodaman, you need to change for your own good.

Have a nice day.


Shallom.

You get time to argue with that dolt.
