Post- Election Tribalism: Igbo Is The Code Word For Christians by BetterHeadline: 3:09pm On Mar 27, 2023
Only an intellectual lazy Christian can't see through the nonsense political game that Tinubu's supporters are playing.

They have told you multiple times that politics is just a game-- to them it is just a game. Fortunately they are not the sharpest tool in the shed; their game is easy to see through unless you're intellectually lazy.

Igbo is the code word for Christians. There, I said it.

During the presidential and gubernatorial elections in Lagos, many people were attacked and others were prevented from casting their votes. Tell me, isn't it just a great, great, great coincidence that the victims of those attacks all happened to be Christians? The narrative was that they were Igbos and intervened politics in Southwest. But, we all saw the videos, we saw how they attacked Yoruba Christians, too; how they broke bottles on their heads, injuring them; how some were stabbed even after identifying themselves as Yoruba for they were accused of smelling too good to be one; they were branded Igbo, and were told to go back to Anambra. Indeed Igbo is the code word for Christians.

Even people from Plateau state, Benue, Taraba, Edo, Rivers, were all branded Igbos, attacked, and told to go back to Anambra. They even murdered an Ijaw Christian man for looking Igbo. All the victims of their unprovoke Igbophobic attacks were Christians including the Yoruba ones-- because Igbo is the code word for Christians.

The Hausa community in Lagos, who are mainly muslims, endorsed and voted for their own candidate in peace: they were not attacked (not that they should be), were not accused of being problematic, were not told to leave southwest and not intervene politics of their host. But, Yoruba Christians and other non-Igbo Christians were branded as Igbo and fingered for Igbophobic attacks, and were prevented from voting the candidates of their choices. In other words, the Hausa voters, who are immigrants as they like put it, have more right than Yoruba Christian voters in Lagos state for the Hausa were allowed their civic duty, while the Yoruba Christians were denied theirs and were branded as Igbo and were told to leave Southwest for Anambra-- indeed, Igbo is just the code word for Christians.

They boasted that they burned down and destroyed Igbo markets, but not all of the shops in the market are owned by Igbos-- some are owned by Yoruba and some by South-Southerners. But do you know what the victims of these destructions have in common? They are all Christians. Tinubu's supporters burned down all their shops, accusing all of the victims of being Igbo because Igbo is just the code word for Christians.

You will noticed similar pattern in their utterance as well.
If you are Yoruba Christian and rejects Tinubu, you will be accused of being an "omo ale", an "Olori buruku", an "idiot Yoruba", or an "omo Igbo": but no such insults and accusations are directed toward the Yoruba muslims that supported Atiku ( a muslim). Now, I'm not saying they should be insulted or accused, but I'm pointing out something and it is up to you to figure out what I'm pointing out.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was called an Igbo man whose father was from Anambra.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan was called an Igbo man.

The current CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin, is also another Igbo man who isn't an Igbo, but he is a Christian and Igbo is the code word for Christians, so he became an Igbo man.

If you are a Christian, you're an Igbo because Igbo is just the code word for Christians. Their tribalism, frustration, and hatred aren't necessary toward Igbo but toward Christians including the Yoruba ones.

Even on social media, if you mention or give a hint that you are a Christian, then they will call you an Igbo; even if you mention that you are from the north, they will still call you an Igbo.

An attack on Igbo is an attack on Christians. When they set out to attack Igbo in Lagos, they attacked as many Christians (including the Yoruba ones) as they could. When they set out to burn Igbo shops, they burnt all shops belonging to non-Igbo Christians too.

They say Igbo should leave south west, but Igbo is just the code word for Christians.
If you are from SS, MB, NE, or NW, and you are a Christian, they will call you an Igbo and tell you to leave Southwest.
If you are a Yoruba Christian, and you look after your hygiene, they will call you an Igbo and tell you to leave Southwest.

Hardly a year go by without at least three clashes between Tinubu's supporters and northern muslims in Southwest. At least three times a year we hear news of how northern muslims have either kill or rape Tinubu's people. Yet, instead of telling them to leave Southwest, they'd rather ask the victims "where are the cows?"
But if you are a Christian, they will call you an Igbo and say that your problems are too much (what problems?) and that you need to leave Southwest-- these, they will say to you too if you're a Yoruba Christian and look clean and smell good.

The funny thing is this, when you have tribal mark in your brain, it is hard to see your enemies killing you, just because they speak your language.
Unfortunately many more people will die so that the usman danfodio project will reach the ocean.
Those who will die will be told the enemies are the igbos who want to tak over your lands.

You are right, Igbo is the largest Christian group in Africa, they are homogenous and have a role to play in Africa's future.


This woman attacked in Lagos for trying to vote is not Igbo but Ijaw.

This fàilèd tactics of trying to pull others to ur side fàilèd wóefûIIy.
U know why?
When u succeed in pulling them to ur side like u did for d prèsîdéñtîaI election, ur natural chest bèàtiñg exercise will make u tell them that u did it without them and cast them away like u did for governorship election in Lagos.
People have seen u lgb0s for what u are.
U will find it very difficult pulling others to join ur tribal inclinations in d name of wanting a better Nigèrià now.

I am sorry son. you got me confused with someone who gives a shitt about your SW, or any SW at all. I am more of an East Texan, and I got my Sig Sauer to prove it.

According to this wailing ipob pig, the latest Lagos election issue should be seen as Muslim and Christian tozzle. cool
This pig has so fast forgot that Some little time ago all Muslims were called Boko Haram.
Even today, if you are Muslim from Kwara, nasarawa or Niger, you are not qualify to answer middle belt. But a Christian from borno, sokoto yobe or even Kano can answer middle belt.
Igbos always claiming victims whenever they are served what they serve others.

The election doesn't need to be seen as anything I said. We all saw what happened. In the guise of fighting Igbo, Christians from different ethnic background (including the Yoruba ones) were attacked and prevented from carrying out their civic duties during the elections because Igbo is the code word for Christians.

Whether or not I'm Igbo isn't relevant to the discussion, and I didn't mention my ethnicity, but the fact that you have automatically assume I'm Igbo base on my post is kind of ironic.
