Finally you have shown your true colour.....ANOTHER ANTI TINUBU PAID AGENT.

We know your type and una full nairaland anti....

Wetin concern ibos with Tinubu? Has he ever governed any of your mud hut enclaves before?...throw as much dirt as you can but if its gonna be him it will be him that will be the next president.....ibo votes cannot stop it....it has been proven twice by Buhari that anyone can become president without ibo votes .....its insignificant

And who says we dont want ibos to go.....rather its ibos that dont want to go....if they really want to go they would have been gone already.....but what do we see, the same places they deride, claim they are hated in is where they flock every minute in night busses and flip flops clutching nylon bags....

The wind has blown and your nyash has been revealed anti....stop pretending you are just another sad ibo kid full of hate planted by your fathers to cover their shame of losing a war they couldnt have won anyway

Good afternoon oooo grin

Really, Anti what? Tinubu has ruled Lagos, and what did he do here, but took half of the developed areas and left the slums for subjects like you to wallow in your poverty.

When it's time for election he brings his bullion van to call you people and throw you guys a meagre 1000 naira note, to go to the polls and stake for him. He feeds your mind with lies like "If Omo Okoro or Mr. Hussainy wins the president we would all suffer and this isn't what Awolowo dreamt for us."


Tinubu is now the spokesperson of Awolowo, he dresses like him because people like you are moved in appearance thereby decieeving you to go gamble at the polls. grin

Now tell me how I'm anti Tinubu with what I said, all I said is facts, and you know it right?

All of the elected officials in Lagos, did they come through the will of the people or didn't Tinub has his stray fingers pushing them to go, then he comes with his folktale lies of "One Yourba blood from one ancestor or Omo Igbo would take over your lands." And you guys buy it hook and sinker.


For my dear Igbos, you said they don't want to go, and people in your caliber want them to leave. If they don't want to go, why are they protesting to leave? Does that make sense?

Why did Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the Biafra movement got imprisoned, and why does the anti-demoncratic government shiver and wail when he's let out.

You have nothing to say. When facts speak to your face, as a sane person you sit back and think about it.

Igbos want to leave, but people like you play the tribal card by telling them.

"IGBOS are all over other states why don't they go to their states and develop it."

My question is, who told you Igbos love to stay in your state's-- that level of thought when some of your type says it, it seems more like a junior high school students IQ.

Imagine it this way, a government who is anti-demoncratic is in a country, but claims to follow the rule of law.

He or she in the helms of power divide the budget of the nation to suit a particular people in his umbrella. Then leaves a small part in social amenities and all to the people who are against his type of rule.

Where would you think the labor would go? Does that mean the people who migrate to other states hate their place because it lacks stable power meant for business, and adequate roads?

Just the same way, Yoruba loves education as they claim. If there were no schools or things adequate for schools in your States but was concentrated in the east, what would happen, ask yourself? There would be a heavy migration to the east

And the only state the Igbos are heavily concentrated are in Lagos, and that's because of the market and some of the amenities given there to support businesses being that it was a former capital of the country before.-- I believe you people in the west do not know what you have till is lost, I'm being serious here.
So, use your logic and understand, rather than hearing from little gossips or from people who feel threatened because the Igbos do things better than they do when it comes to all sectors of the economy and life in general. kiss grin

This writer is merely hiding under the pretence of advising the Igbo people to campaign for his master.
Why do you think the Igbos don't need the presidency?, Why do you believe that only Fulani and Yoruba deserve it.I sympathize with you, whoever you are working for has giving you a terrible job.
Please quit it is a poor job.
Igbos deserve and need to be president, and must be president come 2023

Igbo Presidency?

First of all, I'm a Ghanaian lady, but I have more affiliations to the Igbo, that I would support them because I feel they are worth the answer to all of Nigerians problem.

I've stayed in Nigeria for years, and I can greatly say I appreciate the Igbos way more than any tribe for who they are in person and the development they bring to your country Nigeria.

What would Nigeria be without the Igbos? Nothing, I speak from truth.

In Kumasi and Accra, they are know to do exploits and have done pretty much for our nation. There was a time that our president had given them accolades for their presence in our country.

And as as an add my mom is Igbo, and i'm happy to have a blood link, that links me to them kiss. The Adanna of the Igbo soil, as my mum would smile and tell me.

First of all, Igbos don't need presidency. I've made my research and observed this.
If you give them, they'll collect but that addds nothing to them.

What they really need is the equal opportunity of all, all men having the choice to excel in a geopolitical environment.

I observed that other tribes like the Yoruba's and Hausa's or other tribes in general want it to satisfy their ego.
The thought of "Yoruba man is president and Igbo or Hausa isn't, so we are known, much and accepted..."

Although it's a good way to think, its somewhat sickening to me. What is the purpose of feeding an ego that you end up suffering at the end. I don't get it? So if you have an answer drop in the comment.

Secondly, when your Yoruba or Hausa president is in office, having the opportunity you travel abroad and live where there's much comfort, while your brothers (who you claim to love) suffer based on the person you chose as president to feed your ego does nothing.

How would you (Yoruba's and Hausa's) claim to be united when you go to elections as if you're gambling. You stake your president's based on ego and greed and you claim to be united (funny)

Igbos on the other hand as I've seen hardly want a presidency, and I believe if they fought for it as Yoruba's do, they'll get it. But that isn't what they want.

They want an equal opportunity for all. They want each geopolitical zones that they do go to, to have opportunities. A man in the west is supposed to be satisfied for working, and having the credentials as a man in the east. That's all the seek.

So when they say, "Igbo wants presidency or are looking for more supporters to support them." They get it all wrong, and even some Igbo mocks them based on their tribal sentiment.

The youths in Nigeria have been so brainwashed that they play with their lives in general like they are playing Card games, or put simply gambling-- totally outrageous and silly I must say.

Instead of asking for presidency, why not ask the Hausa president or the president there for equality for all?
Isn't it why your ancestors made the land, or decided to join the contract called Nigeria?

But most youths have failed themselves and blame Buhari. Buhari hasn't nothing to do with it, as they said initially, I mean APC "Change starts with you."

Is the truth, but the question which lies here is what use have you made with that change?

And I'll repeat Igbo don't want presidency and Nigeria is not a game, Nigeria is part of you. I'm Ghanaian and Nigerian, so if one doesn't work, I can land somewhere. I even have a Green card, like this grin.

But what I'm saying is have pity on yourself. What use are you making for yourself that playing the tribal card, and playing with your life and your generation to come in general.

What would your descendants say about you when they arrive. Would they appreciate you for the good work you did for them? Or would they curse you for ever being born in your lineage, just the same way we do for our parents because most of them failed the nation they called their own.

Igbos don't want presidency they want restructing-- an equal opportunity for all. Thank you.

from, Nana



Beautiful!

Don't deceive yourself, they are willing to kill and die because they claim Buhari denied them of few political appointment like SSA and media aid.

Now all the noise about Biafra is higher since Jonathan lost out in 2015 elections dislodging a whole generation of Igbo politicians and political appointees. This was accentuated with the loss of Peter Obi of the VP position to Osinbajo, a Yoruba man.

That's why they hate the man who orchestrated that event, Tinubu otherwise he did nothing else against the entire Ibo race to deserve so much bile and hatred. If you know what else Tinubu did against Ibo you can tell me.

The current madness displayed by most ibos is the mirage that the 2023 presidency or even VP has become. To make matters worse, the odds seems to favour a Yoruba, their southern arch rivals, easily clinching the presidency a second time in 24 years while Ibo is yet to get it once. That's enough to cause meltdown, depression and mental illness on a mass scale.

No need for the disguise, we understand Nigeria history more than this type of revisionism.

My question is, is Peter Obi APC or PDP? And if he is PDP dear, why would they take someone from another party and make a VP. That's absurd.

Secondly, Tinubu looks for puppets to control. He knows too well there's nothing he can say to Peter Obi and the likes to hold to his instructions, there's no lie he can concoct to make an Igbo person be against the people he was mandated to govern.

For example, look at the Lekki massacre issue last year, do you think Sanwolu acted without directions from his Lord, everyone knows. The Tinubu Agberos had a fields day, killing young protesters while the armed force were guided to kill the young protesters and leave his touts to have a joyous day causing mayhem.

My dear, Igbos aren't vexed for any presidency, what's in the office self to be all vexed about. Do you think being a president is being Hitler or Stalin. Buhari knows that's why he's threading carefully. There's a way he'll cause chaos, and the people would stand up against the government-- this only shows the government is powerless when the people feel used.

Presidency isn't the answer, in fact if Tinubu is the president or any one in particular. The question to ask yourself, would you have prosperity under him? Would your busines thrive under him? Would you be able to take your children to school? Would your family members still ask you for hang out? Would everyone around you be able to leave independelty?

These are the questions to ask when heading to the polls, and not because he is Omo Yoruba, and you are Yoruba so you are blood--all because you speak the same language, that's silly.

No body, even hates Tinubu In the east, I can stand and tell you barely 20 percent know him in the east. The ones who bring the information to them are the Igbos who stay in Lagos or Abuja--no one knows him, so why would they want to hate him.

Tinubu has no business when it comes to the east, haven't you observed the places he has the power to do what he does is places that show this "Yoruba pride or unity." Playing the tribal card to woo them.

He wanted to try it for Edo, but it was short-lived and I believe the people of Ondo are also loosening from his grasp. smiley

But the Igbo tribe are very well known in Jamaica (Called the Eboe people of Jamaica), but you don't see Igbo fighting over them in any way or claiming they were part of them. It is them, finding their roots and associating with us, but they don't call themselves "former slaves." As some tribes would want to call them.

The Jamaicans had even associated more with the Igbos in Nigeria when they discovered their films and found more similarity with their culture to theirs.


Igbo people don't go boasting they were slaves and descendants of slaves, that's silly.

Igbos argue with Ghanaians (Akan) all the time about who dominated Jamaican culture. It's a shame really because both were influential yet neither represent the majority or the main ingredient (so to speak) of our existence.

Besides what I actually meant was that they weren't taken in significant quantities in comparison to Igbo and Akan
You should see that
Yoruba were mainly shipped to Brazil,Cuba and the US
Thats why people still speak an ancient type of Yoruba in Latin America and worship orishá mixed with catholism
Even the food is almost the same as the present Yorubaland

My question is, is Peter Obi APC or PDP? And if he is PDP dear, why would they take someone from another party and make a VP. That's absurd.

Secondly, Tinubu looks for puppets to control. He knows too well there's nothing he can say to Peter Obi and the likes to hold to his instructions, there's no lie he can concoct to make an Igbo person be against the people he was mandated to govern.

For example, look at the Lekki massacre issue last year, do you think Sanwolu acted without directions from his Lord, everyone knows. The Tinubu Agberos had a fields day, killing young protesters while the armed force were guided to kill the young protesters and leave his touts to have a joyous day causing mayhem.

My dear, Igbos aren't vexed for any presidency, what's in the office self to be all vexed about. Do you think being a president is being Hitler or Stalin. Buhari knows that's why he's threading carefully. There's a way he'll cause chaos, and the people would stand up against the government-- this only shows the government is powerless when the people feel used.

Presidency isn't the answer, in fact if Tinubu is the president or any one in particular. The question to ask yourself, would you have prosperity under him? Would your busines thrive under him? Would you be able to take your children to school? Would your family members still ask you for hang out? Would everyone around you be able to leave independelty?

These are the questions to ask when heading to the polls, and not because he is Omo Yoruba, and you are Yoruba so you are blood--all because you speak the same language, that's silly.

No body, even hates Tinubu In the east, I can stand and tell you barely 20 percent know him in the east. The ones who bring the information to them are the Igbos who stay in Lagos or Abuja--no one knows him, so why would they want to hate him.

Tinubu has no business when it comes to the east, haven't you observed the places he has the power to do what he does is places that show this "Yoruba pride or unity." Playing the tribal card to woo them.

He wanted to try it for Edo, but it was short-lived and I believe the people of Ondo are also loosening from his grasp. smiley

Igbo Taquiya, yet 95% of Igbos voted for Atiku because Peter Obi was on the ticket.
Did Obi do anything remotely comparable to what Tinubu was able to accomplish for Lagos?

The leading campaigners against Tinubu, Osinbajo or Fashola becoming president in 2023 is Igbo.

And you can only deceive yourself that the Ibo campaign is because any of the above lack capacity or track record of leadership.
We know the ibo opposition is because they are Yoruba and Ibo wants their man there desperately.

Who told you that lie? The Yoruba were certainly taken to Jamaica they were called the "Nago" people while on the island. Where are yall getting your sources to where yall think we in the diaspora belonged to specific tribes only? [b]Jamaicans dont only have affinity to Igbos[/b]or even just west Africans. We central African and south east African as well.

But to get back to the point why would there be a community named after a Yoruba settlement with no Yoruba in Jamaica? That makes no sense. The answer is there were Yoruba taken then mostly from the Republic of Benin. They were captured by rival Fon groups if not sacrificed.



No one denied the fact that Yoruba people were taken to Jamaica, that's silly. What we were talking about is the aspect of a certian nation in the contraption called Nigeria that has its greater influence in culture of the Jamaicans, not even the Akan from my country, has such influence.

The New world is an admixture of ethnicites and races of all kinds. So it would be silly, to say it's only a certian people that has their genetic link in certian places in the old world. So, you were lost right there, dear.


Secondly, I didn't really want to argue without proof. I typed on Google, which Nigerian tribe is more prevalent in Jamaica. It showed me that.

I also typed are Yoruba's culture more prevalent in Jamaica. It showed me nothing, although they have their presence. So it seems you don't know a lot about your country.

I'm not being offensive, but if you're of the Yoruba stock, good for you. But stop being so smarty pants and trying to make us all feel like bimbos.

As you do see in my search tab, I had typed to get some highlights.

And I don't call them slave people, becuase it isn't something to be gladdened about, I call them people because that's who they are in essence.

So, what the conclusion here says is, Eboe people and the Akan people are the major beings in the country, but the Eboe tribe has much influence as you do see in screenshot

In addition, to classify people to the extent of calling them Eboe the corruption of Igbo, speaks volumes dear. So please do get your facts straight, the internet has a wild array of information, and I'm pretty educated because I've travelled to some Carribbean countries, except Jamaica. And it is very well on my list.

Op, I think your opinion is not arguable, me personally I like igbo people, almost every race, tribe like Igbo, the only problem Igbo have are themselves, Igbo hate other tribes that is not theirs, Generally, I can confirm to you that people like them and they must try to work on themselves..

Yet Igbo people want to leave Nigeria and its silly ethnicities but the haters refused. They have even fought a war to keep Ndigbo in Nigeria.
