AyeMoJuba:
Which masses?
Igbo IPOB masses or where are the masses?
You are just day dreaming.

No need for long talk..
The D day is almost upon us

Igbo Presidency my foot.

Who do you think will allow such to happen?

The Yorubas you daily insult or the Hausa who are you eternal enemies or the Fulani you kill on a daily basis?

Who will allow such to happen?

Have you noticed that in all these current political discourse pertaining to this election, out of more than 200 tribes in this country it's only the Yoruba tribe that is hating on the Igbos? What does that tell you??
I honestly love the way you guys are exposing yourselves; the rest of the tribes are watching and taking notes

[quote author= post=119743005]It will happen one day when we Igbos learn and start playing politics the right way.......




Unfortunately, we told them the below 8 years ago,
2014, but our people never listened to us.
2023 would have been the best and perfect time for us Igbos to Rule, but for where, they pitched their tent with politics of hatred and bitterness.
It's a shame.
The below is the HARD TRUTH, for your reading pleasure.


NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party.
The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda.
So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe.
I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake.
Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence.
The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.
That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 
Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'.
We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who 

Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today.
Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023".
"Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?

So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?
really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary responses from nonentities .
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 


Please, people should stop getting it twisted.
Not all Igbos are Ipobs cannibals, murderers and animals.
We igbos are great, sensible and good people.
We won't allow some miscreants and cannibals that are not up to 1% of our tribe/population to keep giving us bad image in the face of other Nigerians and the WOLRD at large.

We will keep making this clear everytime we come across where anyone want to juxtaposed us together with forests animals , AKA Ipobs swines.
We are not cannibals in our tribe, we do not eat human beings...... NEVER!!

We Rise. [/quote]The smart politics you all played since 2015 simply landed Nigeria in 77 trillion debt.

Igbos will.never be part of such foolishness and we wont be apologetic to any idiot that thinks otherwise.

AkpaMgbor:
Observe the northern man and you will see a big difference in political decorum when compared to those from the west. If you are a neutral this observation will not be lost on you. Go to the politics section and you will see concurrent threads attacking Igbos daily there.

Igbos caused every bit of hate they are getting from the west. Why are the west not attacking all other tribes? Ibos exibit their hatred to all tribes, race and Muslims. So many times on Nairaland , ibos has called on Yorubas to hate on their fellow brothers because they are Muslims. All over the world, they cause problems including South Africa, Dubai, Ghana, India etc Ibos need to really change their ways instead of forming victims of hate they created with their bad mouth and act. You people should talk to yourselves.

How so? Make me understand

FOOTSOLDIER1:
I used to like this guy songs, but wetin bring Chimamanda's title for politics now ?

Don't tell me you envious of her accomplishments

What's with this hate against ndigbo?

Nigerians are certainly not one Nigerians, there is no such thing as one Nigeria! The hate and tribalism against ndigbo is at the apex level.

I have deleted everything brymo on my phone, rubbish. This 2023 will be war against tribalism

War against tribalism is still what Brymo is fighting for just like yourself too. Adichie rejected national Honours from President Buhari which is wrong. Personally, I’m not Buhari’s fan but rejecting National honor from the presidency projects a lot to the outside world and brings shame to the country.

To Brymo and people like yourself, rejecting your country’s national honour and accepting the title of Odeluwa( the one who writes for the world) chieftaincy title is tribalistic or don’t you think so?

lhordspy:
When we say these things called truth. They call us a different name like tribalistic, bigot.
But truth must be said, bitter or not.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.



Reactions from obidients and tweeps below.

You are completely a lost cause..,

What is the "truth"?

Who gives a hoot about the views of a failed tribal musician?

Reuben Abati , a supremely enlightened Yorubaman rubbished on national television this urchinous comment made by this simple-minded fellow...

Wole Soyinka, amomg other notable Nigerians have had caise to reject the national award so what crap are you talking about?

The failure of an artist was evidently trying to use Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, a writer of global acclaim, to trend...

How many Nigerians know the heck is Brymo abi na Buraimoh?

This Brymo monkey can suck elephant's d1ck.

Mindcure:
Dedicated urchin on the beat.

That guy needs urgent rehabilitation in a competent psychiatric hospital. He delights in inciting hatred and tribal war. And I don't blame him but those biased mods. They ought to have done the needful. He delights in preaching hate against the Igbo tribe. Oga Seun why are you watching this Ihorspy guy to be inciting tribalism. Please do something sir

Yoruba tribe is not hating on Igbos. Urchins do. We Yorubas have integrity but urchins don't.

Most rubbesh post of the year, How?
1.what did Accepting traditional title have to do with biafra?
2.she is not the 1st person to reject National honour.
3.Peterobi is not an igbo president
4.she have tangible reasons why she rejected the offer.
5.Brymo is a Tinubu Asslicker.

So Nigerians can now trust the North with Boko Haram rather than a sensible person. The big question is, why IPOB?
It's still same reason that this young guy is pushing. It's simply because of perceived marginalisation of the eastern region.

While boko Haram, it's forceful annexation of territory through killing and maiming.

Other regions kept pushing the SE to the wall, spit to their faces over the years and expect some of them to be quiet and keep watching over the years. Igbos felt they were not either heard nor listened. I hate IPOB as a negative and i don't support succession in any form. Let love leed!

Vote wisely.

Only a bastard Yoruba that hates. So shut the fvck

UnfairLife7:
I honestly feel for Obi seriously

The show of shame of his campaign and the bad name he gave Psquare the upcoming artists performing in an empty field in PH is so embarrassing

I honestly feel for him on a more serious note

I sincerely wish he will not giveup in contesting again after the election

Joke apart, I honestly feel for him

Conserve the energy and feel for yourself because nobody cares whether you have an opinion....

We know your lazy dependence on reverse psychology but Nigerians know better now...

Peter Obi will be your president: You had better start getting used to it...

ComeToJesus:
People have preferences and choices.

People understand these preferences and choices with different reactions, does that make them mad? We all love our country and pray it gets better by whatever means but those trying to bring more shame and damages to it will be tagged the enemy of the country no matter who you think you are. To Nigerians in general, Adiechie will never be worthy of any National honors no matter how famous she is.

Before you all lie and pretend that brymo is an ordinary artist

Just as Jonathan becoming the president went a long way in quelling the agitation of Niger Delta, same way an Igbo man becoming the president will go a long way in quelling the tension in the south east.

I still remember Tompolo threatening war should Jonathan lose the 2011 presidential election and as a Niger Deltan I actually shared his sentiment, I'm sure other Niger Deltan must have felt the same.

Niger Delta is even more peaceful under Buhari than when their son Jonathan was there. What goodness did Jonathan presidency bring to ND? Nothing.
1. It is Buhari who came to start Ogoni clean-up,
2. Reorganise and Revamp NDDC for better service delivery, while ridding it of perennial and endemic corruption, the popular our Oyel money mentality.
3. Completed Warri-itakpe Railway project that PDP started 16years earlier,
4. Build so many road infrastructure in ND including road to Jonathan Otueke hometown, haba!??
So the argument that it must be our son to solve our problem is not credible. It has always not been working.

EVEN WORST IS THE PERCIEVED HATRED TOWARDS THE IGBO PEOPLE BY YORUBA MEN.




THEY ARE NEVER AS BRAVE TO RESPOND OR CALL OUT FULANI RAPING THEIR MOTHERS AND WIFE IN BROAD DAY LIGHT IN THEIR HOME TOWN AND VILLAGES.

I think your last paragraph here is a song of praise for Yoruba not hatred driven. I will just be laughing sometimes if I read something from Igbo political analysts.

I wonder what you take others for. I Buhari is a Jibrin and a lifeless president and Tinubu is a pampers aspirant, I think you people expect other people and tribes to clap for you. You expect them to sing song of praise for Igbo for their rhetorical prowess without getting back to you hardly. Keep on deceiving yourself. It's a part of politics and political games. If someone should be angry a lot in this country for blackmail and name calling, it should be Fulani and Hausa. You never see anything. A lot is in the pipeline for you.

It beats my imagination how Igbo who are so aggressive in name calling, dishing abuse to others expect people not to use their weaknesses against them in politics. It's a delusion to have that stance.

On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?
really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary responses from nonentities .
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 


Please, people should stop getting it twisted.
Not all Igbos are Ipobs cannibals, murderers and animals.
We igbos are great, sensible and good people.
We won't allow some miscreants and cannibals that are not up to 1% of our tribe/population to keep giving us bad image in the face of other Nigerians and the WOLRD at large.

We will keep making this clear everytime we come across where anyone want to juxtaposed us together with forests animals , AKA Ipobs swines.
We are not cannibals in our tribe, we do not eat human beings...... NEVER!!

We Rise. [/quote]Nwanne wetin you talk na correct. Nigerians need an ibo presidency but we aren't ready.
Secondly we should stop blackmailing other tribes just to pass a message.can igbos stay on our own and unite affront? It makes me wonder

AyeMoJuba:
Which masses?
Igbo IPOB masses or where are the masses?
You are just day dreaming.

No need for long talk..
The D day is almost upon us

Igbo Presidency my foot.

Who do you think will allow such to happen?

The Yorubas you daily insult or the Hausa who are you eternal enemies or the Fulani you kill on a daily basis?



Who will allow such to happen?

Definitely not fools like you

War against tribalism is still what Brymo is fighting for just like yourself too. Adichie rejected national Honours from President Buhari which is wrong. Personally, I’m not Buhari’s fan but rejecting National honor from the presidency projects a lot to the outside world and brings shame to the country.

To Brymo and people like yourself, rejecting your country’s national honour and accepting the title of Odeluwa( the one who writes for the world) chieftaincy title is tribalistic or don’t you think so?

I strongly believe that Adechie rejected that award as a protest to buhari against his marginalized attitude towards the region. Also as a protest to portray that the region was still healing from the Biafra massacre.
