₦airaland Forum

The former Governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani has said that it is not late for the Igbo to reflect on and carefully X-Ray the looming reality of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Nnamani asked Igbos several questions bothering on their relationship with the Yoruba, noting that the Yorubas are not their problem.

In his piece titled, “the Igbo Insularity and its Yoruba Wahala,” Nnamani asked, “how did the Igbo get to this? Who sold this massive Con job? Who are the snake oil salesmen? Why the perceived mistrust of the Yoruba? We never fought? Our properties never seized? Are our businesses thriving in their Homelands? Blossoming intermarriages with multiple offspring? Common language etymology"

He further said: “They stayed out of Nigeria/Biafra war until the Benin expedition. Fajuyi died for Ironsi’s sake. Bola Tinubu gave his financial lifeline to Igbo Ben Akabueze. President Obasanjo had highly dependent Igbo mentees including myself. Called me son and seriously shared confidentialities with me. That I will carry with me to the Lord’s vineyard.

“Our properties were returned immediately in the second quarter of 1970 with collected rent and interests. The ‘ontogeny’ of our revered kola nut Yoruba. My brothers where is the disconnect? Okpara and our Forebears saw it. The NCNC/ NPC alliance was a colossal failure for South East. Ditto NPN/NPP. History repeats.

“AG/NCNC alliance 1956/57? Was aborted. Could have provided a Chief executive to either party. The AG/ NCNC alliance in United Progressive Grand Alliance, Awolowo & Okpara mired in Pre 66 Coup imbroglio.The UPN/NPP alliance could have done the same. The threat of Ekwueme Presidency writer’s claims added Filip to the collapse of the 3rd republic.

“When you shift power to Yoruba, you don’t go to Kwara or Kogi, you go to Southwest. But the weakness of the South East zone is patently obvious such that they throw any bones at us and we bite.

We must always be expected to show gratitude for any pittance. After all, we were spared with “no victor, no vanquished” We should be happy and don’t worry. We can always resort to spare parts and hugging containers. For this ongoing political expedition, my Igbo people have suffered the consequences of Sociopolitical Insularity. Confused by mediocre and cry, babies. Emergency Politicos. Whose ticket out of the burden of inferiority and underachievement is ethnocentric preachments.”

He categorically stated that “the two political parties with emotional capture of my people will lose the presidential election. One a pure exercise in self-driven political catharsis, the order of a known abuser and denigrator of my people.

“The Igbo are out of the power echelon of an African State they helped found. Product of self-injury and own goal. We need a restart. Based on a paradigm shift. Careful but calculated risk.”

He cautioned that “the Igbo has to retrace the steps of Okpara and Awolowo, The United Progressive Grand Alliance. An Igbo-Yoruba Alliance. It is not late for the Igbo to reflect on and carefully X-Ray the looming reality of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

A marathon politico Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu, a City boy they call him paid his dues over decades, and performed creditably in governance & politics. With an A-Game, decades of hard work, patience, resilience and tenacity. And a lot of swagger and Chutzpah, Tinubu is it. A consummate and well-navigated City boy. A winner always.

“Only saw him complain once, and probably his last. The rest is history. That Alliance, Handshake across the Niger that is, and a resultant Southern Coalition will build a Great Nigerian Partnership with our Northern brothers and sisters cutting across tribes, religions and all differences.

A land where truly all Tongues may differ but the voices will coalesce and resonate in a crescendo of synergy, amity and good conscience. The answer to the Igbo power conundrum maybe".

Very concise and precise. The most plain truth i have seen all my life.

How can a group of people be so addicted to failure. Always on the losing side, everytime... I just dont understand anymore. It is baffling.

Dreal1247:
Unfortunately, the era of the old generation politicians is fast elapsing. Your boss, Obasanjo has prophetically handed over the seat to him (Obi). They better appreciate the reality.

Ireportlive:
This man is one of the few very knowledgeable Ibo men I regard... I read his article word for word, he is very educated

beerfraud:
May your life be long Sir
Few sensible Ibo man alive

StrongandMighty:
Op this is you right?

So you need Igbo votes for Tinubu to win and yet you're here making a hateful speech against a whole tribe extending it even to the ones yet unborn? The tribe you still want for them to vote your master?

Lemme me see how an Igbo man after seeing this hateful speech will go at the polls just to vote Tinubu!

Tinubu's greatest undoing will be unintelligent tribal bigots like you campaigning for him..

Very concise and precise. The most plain truth i have seen all my life. This man will be the president of this Great country one day. A nationalism and a visionary man.

But i kept wondering why his peole are so addicted to failure. Always on the losing side, everytime... I just dont understand anymore. It is baffling. Very unfortunate.

They always find a way to always be on the other side of a team cruising to victory. They always find a way to antagonise an ambition clearly and obviously bound to be sucessful.

Politics are not played along emotional lines or past grievances. It is by looking forward to new alliance, friendship, support and most importantly by working to eradicate the tribal sentimentalism among igbo people and marginalisation among Nigerians towards the igbos.

But here. We have the igbos doing same thing all over again. Taking over again as the political Antagonist, foe, opposition, enemy against a political team whose chances of coming out victorious is at 78% against other political group.

Now my question is: Why does the igbos love to lose, always?

If lossing means not voting a failure so be it

If we were to reverse time today buhari won't win 2015 election

Igbos go for the best candidate even if it means he won't win but you can't catch us voting for a politician when their is a clear better candidate

Can the Yoruba people beat their chest and say we are proud of voting buhari?

lhordspy:
Maybe you should post the full link to the thread let the world see what led to the reaction from me.

Igbos of twitter were cursing Omojuwa just because of he refuses to align with Peter Obi. The laid difference curses on his marriage and his generation.

Your cheap emotional victimization card cant work on me.... You should go back hom and teach your people both young and old about good moral upbringing. You people lack one.


You think you can just come online, abuse, insult, curse anyone without retaliation. Yet you cry around whenever someone give you a test of your medicine. The days of pity are over.

Nigerians are ready to curtail you guys disgusting attacks and attitude this time.

We are ready for you disrespectful children of hate.


Below are the tweet from your abusive tribeman. Omojuwa wasnt even discusiing politics as at the time. He was talking about sport. But you hatred filled humans went about making fun of his wife inability to conceive. Disgusting set of miscreants.

lhordspy:
Always attacking buhari constantly. No body is ever right or good to them except only their tribesmen.

Reason why you poeple are still stuck in envy anf hatred against your fellow country people.

StrongandMighty:
You're just despicable!
Can you prove they are actually Igbos or just because they are bearing Igbos names?

How many of you guys here are bearing Igbo names on this forum yet are not Igbos?

I've equally seen multiple accounts bearing yoruba names here and are not yorubas, so is it justifiable to conclude they are Igbos just by their names? Is it enough reason for you to propagate a hate speech against a whole tribe? Even extending it to unborn innocent children?

Spare me that, Oga. Always trying to justify and cover up the silly attitude of his people. Have you ever blameor rebuke your people before? We all know the aggressive tribe, the intolerant ones.

Like i said, go back and teach your people good moral upbringing so they wouldnt grow up to be an hateful and envious person.
