Let me further declare my bias here; I am an Igbo man from Anambra State.

A Benin friend told me last week that I support Peter Obi because he's Igbo and from Anambra State! I was actually speechless at his prejudice!

Someone also said it's time we help the Igbos they have suffered so much in this country; I was like seriously?

I still hear some say voting for Peter Obi will be justice for the Igbos; ignorance is really really appalling!

Let me drop a few points here;

If some of the reasons alluded above is why you are supporting Peter Obi, then you are not different from the Tribal Warlords and Religious extremist!

Let me shock you further;

when I was at Abuja last year. I joined a discussion at the Hotel lobby and one Northern guy declared with uncommon arrogance; *" THE IGBOS SHALL CONTINUE TO SUFFER IN THIS COUNTRY, THEY WILL NEVER SMELL THE PRESIDENCY, THEY WILL PAY DEARLY FOR 1966...!"*

I asked him; Do you think the Igbos are suffering in this country? He thundered yes!

I told him my brother, let me help you a little bit; *" THE IGBOS WILL BE THE LAST TO SUFFER IN THIS COUNTRY!"* NO MATTER HOW BAD THIS COUNTY BECOMES THE AVERAGE IGBO BUSINESS MAN IS THE MOST INSULATED!

Everyone turned at me in shock; My Northern guy thundered; it's a lie, it's a lie! Which position do they occupy in this country?

I said let me help your ignorance a little;

Who paid for this Hotel? Your company or yourself? He said his company. I said do you know who owns the Hotel? He said no, I told him. He said then he won't lodge here again. I said my brother from TRANSCORP Hotels Owned by Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu to Bolingo to Chelsea, To Top Rank, To Rockview, to almost 95% of Hotels in Abuja here is owned by the same people you said are suffering!

I told him if you car is bad where do you buy your parts from?

If you are buying books, stationeries, school bags, etc who sells them at the market?

If you want to build where do you buy your building materials from?

I told him, I could go on and on.

I told him even in Port Harcourt, even in Lagos, almost every nook and cranny of this country; *"THE CHANCES THAT YOU WILL SPEND 90% OF YOUR INCOME ON AN IGBO MAN IS AS REAL AS TODAY!"*

Every where became silent! Let me explain why the Igbo man suffering is just a mirage;

The Government makes policy to increase import tariffs; Igbo man goes out import the goods, pays the tariffs and custom duties, afterwards he factors it into the cost of materials. You go to him to buy at the new price. He makes his Normal profit. *"AT THE END THE NEW TARIFF IS PAID BY WHO?* Everyone was shocked!

I told them no matter what Government does it can never affect the average businessman; The average businessman will always make his profit and shift the burden to the purchasers!

The only tribe in this country that have secured their Economy almost 100% is the Igbos. It's only in Igboland where Business and Property ownership is almost 98% owned by them! After they secured their homeland, they also arrive in your domain and in some instances control 50-80% of the entire commercial activities and sometimes upto 15-25% property ownership apart from Abuja they own about 70-75%. *"And you said they are suffering?"*

After about 40minutes of my indepth lecture, my Northern guy became silenced and confused. He suddenly realized that what his political leaders are telling him that we are suffering the igbos is actually boomeranging on them!

To be sincere, 2023 shouldn't be about Justice for the Igbos or it's the turn of the Igbos! How is Katsina after PMB? Go and ask! How did OBJ rule transform the West? Many Southwesterners insist to date that OBJ was never their choice! How did 6-years of Goodluck Jonathan transform BAYELSA?

If Peter Obi campaign goes tribal, I can assure you many people will abandon his campaign including myself!

Peter Obi should be treated on his merit and be given opportunity to rescue this country!

I laughed the other day when Asiwaju declared that he needs well meaning Nigerians to join him and rescue this country! *RESCUE? LIKE SERIOUSLY? FROM WHO?!*
Ask your self this question who are the people buying from the igbo , wer are dey getting their money from. Do u also think the are suffering. U may be richer than me don mean I am poor, I am also doing well. So when people say igbo are suffering it may just mean political and nothing more. So rest everybody I mean tribe also have something doing and not only igbo. Check dey oil wells in Nigeria who have more

[b]This is as good as you read it. It is a must read and we must all learn one or two things about ourselves.

Saturday, March 11, 2023
*EX Legislator Maria UDE Nwachi Sends A Memo To The Igbos*

This is a must read!

*Dear lgbo, stop the obsession with Lagos*.

Let us stop the obsession with Lagos and its affairs. It is okay for Igbo to be concerned about Lagos affairs because we live there en masse but what is happening now is an obsession. We obsess over Lagos as if it is located somewhere in the Southeast of lgboland.

No, Lagos is in the Southwest of Yorubaland and even if 80% of all Igbo live in Lagos, this fact will not change.

Even before this election period, you will see a lot lgbo (even lgbo that have not been to Lagos) very vocal about governance in Lagos, always holding them accountable for one thing or another, but you have a land called lgboland being decimated and desecrated daily by our own, and I see no outrage, I see no calling anyone to order, I see nothing but cowardice and pretending it is not happening, while it is going on even as we speak.

Always poke nosing on anything concerning Lagos while ignoring the aru happening in your own land. lgboland is the only land any member of the various cells and militia terrorising our land, maiming us and brutalising us, can wake and say there is a sit at home and there will be a sit at home or all heII will break lose!

There is nowhere else anyone outside state government or FG can come out and issue such other except our land and this is not worrisome enough for lgbo to be outraged about or riled about, and find a way to contain the unrest that has severely affected our land economically and otherwise, a land that was already severely abandoned and neglected by her children who are notorious sojourners by nature.

It is notable to point out that since all manners of kriminals have come together hiding under one umbrella to terrorise one once sweet land funded by some lgbo especially those living abroad, those living in our land that would not have even left are mostly running to Lagos, already over-populated by us, and other Yoruba states for safety and for economic reasons. Many a lgbo who loves visiting home now fear visiting home, some come from abroad and just stay back in hotels in Lagos, Abuja and to be close to lgboland, they stay in Asaba. They have chased our 1st 11s away, I don't wanna go into the many souls they have killed in the most brutal manner for no good reason, mostly over filthy cash, and nothing more.

This should be the number topic of every lgbo person and how to end it and not Lagos this and Lagos that.

Now we have an election (Governorship & House of Assembly) on Saturday, and all I see on my feed is the lgbo living in Lagos and outside Lagos talking about Lagos state election. What is freaking good? What on earth is going on? Hello The most important election for an lgbo should be the one happening in the five Southeastern states of lgboland, and not the one in the Southwestern state of Yorubland.

It is very important who is elected to govern our states, they will decide your fate in life. You are only after Lagos election, you are obsessed with getting your way in Lagos when you should be obsessed with getting your way and your wish in your land. We have states in our land being governed in autocratic, tyrannical and peremptory style, you don't care, all you care about is the Lagos state governor and how to humiliate him and remove him.

Tyrannous and dictatorial lgbo governors are the worst because they answer to no one, and have looted enough money to do as they want, despots! Even in these changing times, some of them still managed to rig the National Assembly election and declared 99% of their candidates winners against the wish and votes of the masses, yet to outrage from the lgbo, just obsessing over Lagos affairs and what Sanwo-Olu does.

LET ME SHOUT THIS: A region that realises they have a problem and set out to rectify them shall blossom. But a region that has a problem and pretends it doesn't exist or remedy it, would wither. It's a simple law of nature.

Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, goes out to seek lgbo votes and you mock him and laugh at him, to what end exactly Do you know what a privilege it is for a governor in his land to seek the votes of another ethnic group?

It means his state is advanced and has other ethnic groups living there em mass. Can any lgbo state governor walk around trying to placate and seek the vote of any other ethnic group? Who dash am? You are mocking what you should be wishing should happen in your land. The moment other ethnic groups start migrating to the Southeast is the arrival of a new prosperous and healthy lgboland.

And this Sanwo-Olu seems like a jovial and considerate gentleman, even before the election period, I see him interacting with a lot of people from various backgrounds, carries himself with dignity, and always using soothing and healing words, while imperious and peremptory governors in our land are always harassing and threatening us openly and maltreating us in the most devil-may-care! They also openly and boldly tell us that their candidates will be declared winners whether we like it or not. We don't challenge them, na Sanwo-Olu we wan challenge and talk about only, and all the time.

As it is, our land which is already severely neglected is now being destroyed by our own, imagine many lgbo abroad and beyond sending money home for pure purposes of its destruction, hiding under dubious guises. Once our hosts from all the regions we are packed in see we are even scared of going to our own land to visit much less live, you go see suffer, you go see ween. Only solution is we must make our own land safe, attractive and worthy enough for others to even migrate to.

We need to mind our business a bit. You will see an lgbo actress coming out openly to drag a Yoruba actress over her choice of candidate. If amour propre were a person! To what end? To what point? So everyone must support who we support? We have a culture now that basically stipulates that every lgbo must support whatever or whoever is popularly supported by most lgbo or be seen as anti lgbo, it is bad enough, but to transfer that unreasonable and undemocratic rascality to other ethnic groups is the height of crass entitlement, vainglory, snottiness, conceit, ostentation, self-importance, self-exaltation, and quite frankly narcissism. Can you imagine a Yoruba actor dragging an lgbo actor for supporting Obi? The outrage! Don't do to others what you will not want done to you. Let's mind our business a bit more.

You can't just wake up and decide to force your personal choice on others. That is Amour de soi on speed. Others must like what you like or else. No, naa. Freedom of choice, remember??

I know diplomacy is far far from us, but without tact and diplomacy, we will be limited. People who are known to live in other regions should see diplomacy as major tool to be used to our advantage. I won't elaborate on this for now.
Lagos: There was a time it was just carelessly assumed by many Igbo that Lagos is some kind of a no man's land. In 2012 I started a campaign against such phrase and mindset, it was published multiple times on Ndi Igbo page which was the most popular page in our clime then and moved to Igboist which was also then a very popular platform, It worked like magic, as many lgbo called it a no man's land then purely out of ignorance and entitlement. That act was reduced drastically to the barest minimum.

Frankly, I don't see a lot lgbo using such a phrase, I really don't, sincerely, but the few that missed the memo and continue to call Lagos that, read this: Lagos is not a no man's land, Lagos is the pride of the Yoruba. All Yoruba. An lgbo person will never allow someone from even another lgbo state to call his state a no man's land talk less of another ethnic group to call his state or land a no man's land. Don't do to others what you would NEVER tolerate from others. We are sojourners. We make other regions our homes.

These careless pompous utterances endanger Igbos. The consequences of these crass and callous utterances coated in empty pride are deep and carried out overtly or covertly. Also, other regions we populate are taking notes and implementing steps, again, openly and otherwise, to make sure you don't start calling their own land a no man's land in the future.

We are still a 3rd worId nation, it is not advanced enough that wherever you find yourself is your land. No matter how much you love to live and thrive in any land in our nation, if it is not your land, it is not your land. Respect your hosts, know your limit, don't cross certain boundaries, if not you will pay a steep price. Unfortunately, because we are the ones migrating to other lands/regions, this applies majorly to us.

Again and again: it is important for the lgbo man to build and beautify his own land and make it rewarding, safe, and conducive enough for even others to migrate to. This will stem the tide of us migrating and populating other regions en masse. That is the only way we can gain respect and regard in this country and beyond. We will continue to be at the mercy of others in this nation if we don't build our own land. Let's find a way to end the activities of those desecrating and decimating our land via ugm and co, (as it is pushing more Igbos away from our land & making us more vulnerable to our hosts in various regions) and then make a coordinated effort to build a viable homeland for us and beyond.

All else is noise, empty noise. And to the Igbo with many reasons and excuses why Igbos populate other regions and cannot build own land, hear this: The universe only comprehends results and not reasons.

LET ME REPEAT: A region that realises they have a problem and set out to rectify them shall blossom. But a region that has a problem and pretends it doesn't exist or remedy it, would wither. It's a simple law of nature.
Thank you all.

Yours truly, Maria Ude Nwachi[/b]

Igbo want their son to be at the helm of affairs in this country thereby helping in building the region and made provision for the years of marginalisation. Yes! Federal might is what every region are yarning for.

Shouldn't the Igbo enjoy power, later you guys would be talking about power shift this and that. Abegiiiiii, when would the Igbos which form the 3 major ethnic groups in Nigeria have to truly say, our person is the person in charge

We are talking about a country that seeks to promote national unity, why should a tribe be left out when it comes to governance

Shouldn't they also have a say


Phucking lying flat headed bitter soul. Emilokan is what he said. It's his phucking turn because he worked for it. While he was patient to merge his party with CPC and patient to allow buhari do 8 years, you idiotic ipob animals were insulting him and wishing him all sorts of evil. You bas.tards jubilated when you thought things had gone south few months to the election. You evil animals were even happy with a senseless CBN naira policy that affected you because you thought Tinubu will lose election. You celebrated osibanjo for betraying tinubu. While tinubu was patiently waiting for his turn, your useless,squeaky voiced,mb.ecile,lying adaobi was jumping from PDP to Apuga to PDP and to LP in desperation to become president without any reasonable achievements. Adaobi was busy relying on the votes of hateful and senseless ipob mobs while Tinubu was making the necessary moves and alliances with every region in Nigeria.
Now you Mfcker is talking about national unity that you never promoted. You insulted buhari, tinubu, SW and the north for 8 good years, you animals shouted biafra.ud all through and supported you almighty kanu. All of a sudden the useless adaobi opportunist fa.g.got ran to LP and you animals made him your igbo presidential candidate ,turned the party to your ipob party and expected votes from other regions? He was jumping from one church to another as if he was going to be president of christians only. You ipob criminals supported a very fo.olish man for president who played on your senseless emotions.
We warned you hateful akpu chewing monkeys about senseless and tribal emotional politics but you never listened. You keep making same daft moves every 4 years. You even foolis.hly support a lying bas.tard who claims to be gbadebo just to show your hate for lagos and yorubas. Everything you do is done with evil intents that's why you never win anything and you'll remain lovers and wailers till you change.

And for your info, you are not getting any biafra.ud. we told you evil children that your sudden love for Nigeria was because of the lying adaobi fa..ot and that when he loses ya'll MFckers will go back to chanting your biafra.ud.
Now fasten your seat belt for a long 8 years ride. Ya'll will wail as usual and your madness will be returned back in 100 folds. I'll advise to keep your fooli.shness online so that you don't jam AGBAKO that will lead to sudden death. A word is enough for the wise! Inugo

But they gave Buhari second term. So except the north decides they want that presidency seat, Tinubu will get the second term.

They gave Buhari the second term because of PDP. PDP failed to play the role of a credible opposition party and hold APC accountable on behalf of Nigerians. In saner climes, both the ruling party and the opposition work for the people. While in Nigeria, most PDP members were scrambling to move to the ruling party. I expect Atiku to go back to Dubai and return to contest the next 4 years. what an eeeediot(in the voice of Kanwuliua)!.

I am glad Obi and Wike trashed that useless party.

We need a credible and strong opposition party to checkmate the ruling party and PDP failed Nigerians woefully in that department.

Buhari was widely accepted in 2015

Prior to the elections, Tinubu never thought it a point to consider that Buhari was part of a coup before considering him fit for presidency

Does a man's action means its the collective action of a group of persons

Does the fact Mr A is evil and he is from a tribe equal to the fact that everyone in that tribe being evil

For Nigeria to be a better place, there are lots of stakeholders involved and we should also learn to hold out Governors, Senators, and local govt. chairmen accountable.

Let me further declare my bias here; I am an Igbo man from Anambra State.

A Benin friend told me last week that I support Peter Obi because he's Igbo and from Anambra State! I was actually speechless at his prejudice!

Someone also said it's time we help the Igbos they have suffered so much in this country; I was like seriously?

I still hear some say voting for Peter Obi will be justice for the Igbos; ignorance is really really appalling!

Let me drop a few points here;

If some of the reasons alluded above is why you are supporting Peter Obi, then you are not different from the Tribal Warlords and Religious extremist!

Let me shock you further;

when I was at Abuja last year. I joined a discussion at the Hotel lobby and one Northern guy declared with uncommon arrogance; *" THE IGBOS SHALL CONTINUE TO SUFFER IN THIS COUNTRY, THEY WILL NEVER SMELL THE PRESIDENCY, THEY WILL PAY DEARLY FOR 1966...!"*

I asked him; Do you think the Igbos are suffering in this country? He thundered yes!

I told him my brother, let me help you a little bit; *" THE IGBOS WILL BE THE LAST TO SUFFER IN THIS COUNTRY!"* NO MATTER HOW BAD THIS COUNTY BECOMES THE AVERAGE IGBO BUSINESS MAN IS THE MOST INSULATED!

Everyone turned at me in shock; My Northern guy thundered; it's a lie, it's a lie! Which position do they occupy in this country?

I said let me help your ignorance a little;

Who paid for this Hotel? Your company or yourself? He said his company. I said do you know who owns the Hotel? He said no, I told him. He said then he won't lodge here again. I said my brother from TRANSCORP Hotels Owned by Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu to Bolingo to Chelsea, To Top Rank, To Rockview, to almost 95% of Hotels in Abuja here is owned by the same people you said are suffering!

I told him if you car is bad where do you buy your parts from?

If you are buying books, stationeries, school bags, etc who sells them at the market?

If you want to build where do you buy your building materials from?

I told him, I could go on and on.

I told him even in Port Harcourt, even in Lagos, almost every nook and cranny of this country; *"THE CHANCES THAT YOU WILL SPEND 90% OF YOUR INCOME ON AN IGBO MAN IS AS REAL AS TODAY!"*

Every where became silent! Let me explain why the Igbo man suffering is just a mirage;

The Government makes policy to increase import tariffs; Igbo man goes out import the goods, pays the tariffs and custom duties, afterwards he factors it into the cost of materials. You go to him to buy at the new price. He makes his Normal profit. *"AT THE END THE NEW TARIFF IS PAID BY WHO?* Everyone was shocked!

I told them no matter what Government does it can never affect the average businessman; The average businessman will always make his profit and shift the burden to the purchasers!

The only tribe in this country that have secured their Economy almost 100% is the Igbos. It's only in Igboland where Business and Property ownership is almost 98% owned by them! After they secured their homeland, they also arrive in your domain and in some instances control 50-80% of the entire commercial activities and sometimes upto 15-25% property ownership apart from Abuja they own about 70-75%. *"And you said they are suffering?"*

After about 40minutes of my indepth lecture, my Northern guy became silenced and confused. He suddenly realized that what his political leaders are telling him that we are suffering the igbos is actually boomeranging on them!

To be sincere, 2023 shouldn't be about Justice for the Igbos or it's the turn of the Igbos! How is Katsina after PMB? Go and ask! How did OBJ rule transform the West? Many Southwesterners insist to date that OBJ was never their choice! How did 6-years of Goodluck Jonathan transform BAYELSA?

If Peter Obi campaign goes tribal, I can assure you many people will abandon his campaign including myself!

Peter Obi should be treated on his merit and be given opportunity to rescue this country!

I laughed the other day when Asiwaju declared that he needs well meaning Nigerians to join him and rescue this country! *RESCUE? LIKE SERIOUSLY? FROM WHO?!*

Igbo too dey over praise themselves,
All this thesis that you write is just a defensive guilt and over sentimental biased thought.
When we talk about having conglomerate in this country how many igbo can you name, I can bet it before you name one igbo, you will see a yoruba or an hausa ahead of him.
You talk about building materials and spear part and you fail to ask who are the people who owns oil Wells and oil block more in this country, remove bn biased and do proper investigation and you will see why igbo are left behind in big business and conglomerate.
Am sure you know that the agricultural sector is not dominated by igbo, the profits of trader cannot be compared to the profits of a manufacturer. Igbo don't manufactures they are more of retailers and wholesalers.
I wrote some Article sometime ago, accusing Federal government of being biased, when I come across innoson vehicles, because the brain behind innoson vehicle is igbo, the government didn't patronise him much, and i didn't see any reason why government cannot make innoson an official vehicle and promote it as powerful local brand, see the way dangote has move to many African countries and all that make Dangote is the support from FG.
Igbo will be suffering politically and deprived from political benefits that can move their region forward, that is why the igbo are running away from their region to settle else where, their investment in other regions are like smoke in the air, yes we can see smoke but it is not a tangible thing.
Nobody insult this country like igbo, nobody hates this country like igbo, nobody speaks evil of this country like igbo, a country that you don't want and you want to be relevant and be taking serious in that same country. Haba nau.

Chinedu the bad loser. Go and join your brother Peter Obi in court, both of you will still be defeated. We will never hand over Lagos state to you and your fellow migrants refugees who are desperate to takeover the state.

Protest loading...

The only language this government understands.

Yes, their must be protest. It must start from Anambra. The report over there is terribly worse than Lagos.

We must also protest about the insecurity in the east.... enough of IPOB and Unknown gunmen killing and raping your mothers and sisters.

Nice one

The following people participated in coups

Muritala Muhammad
Buhari
Buka Suka Dimka
IBB
Gideon Orkar
Abacha
IBB

These guys participated in different coups and their coups were not given the tribal tunage as you are doing

Buhari was widely accepted in 2015

Prior to the elections, Tinubu never thought it a point to consider that Buhari was part of a coup before considering him fit for presidency

Does a man's action means its the collective action of a group of persons

Does the fact Mr A is evil and he is from a tribe equal to the fact that everyone in that tribe being evil

A man can be educated, but his education is half baked or given to him based on the deception his masters wants him to play out

The big question is : Have you guys truly repented?

I have always said it - the main 2 issues that have plagued the Igbo tribe in the Nigerian polity are stated below:

1. This idea say na una smart pass while others are dumb.

2. Unnecessary chest-beating/arrogance

If y'all can't eat the humble pie (it is part of politics), una go see wetin una dey find..

Just for the records, the gubernatorial elections in Lagos was there for the taking but no2 point stated above no gree una

Smh

Gbadebo, I will not advise you to go that route, congratulate the winner if you lose, and move on. The margin is wide and you have the next four years to prepare and endear yourself to the Lagosians. Play the role of a true opposition and come back again.

Next time, tell your mother to stay in the background, it makes you look like a mummy's boy.
Even next four years, we are waiting for him.

Power of incumbency will play out in 2027. I dont see Tinubu losing in 2027 except he refuses to contest on health grounds.

The same phrase used for Buhari, that's about to complete 8 years.
