It has always been tribal since day 1. Why do u think Obi got almost 95% votes in south east. Isn't that tribal enough?? undecided

Obasanjo won 95% east and almost lost SW, think abt it. Abiola won entire North against a Northerner.

Someone that rejected a national honor, came to her underdeveloped state in that same nation to have a chieftain title, now she's so interested in who becomes the president of the nation that tried to honor her and she rejected, simply because a "yes Daddy, tribal and religious bigot of an igbo man is contesting... do I blame her? Nooo....


She should write to macron of France and putin of Russia then to Kim of North Korea, no one will blink an eyelid, unfortunately, Tinubu that all the Easterners hate and abuse so much will be president till 2031..

Are you Muslim?
Your thought process goes along that line. You despise Igbos, USA, Israel etc. and love Donald Trump
I hope you don't switch to insults, just wanted you to realise how it's easy to know you by your thought process as it's shapen by religion.

You can despise all those groups and/or countries, but let Ur reasoning be logical.

For instance Chimamanda's write up was logical, sensible and in simple terms, the Doctor's own was vaguely laced with insults and unnecessary words, I don't care abt the contents as they both write from a place of personal bias.

You quickly align to one because it appeals to Ur religious and ethnic sentiments without seeing the error in both.

I am not a muslim, neither do I love Trump (nor do i love Biden BTW). All you have just written just proves my case....you people talk trash because you come from a place of fundamental bigotry and tribalism so anyone who disagrees with you must be what you are not. You are not capable of objectivity because everything to you is rooted in tribe or religion.

on the one hand you say Chiamanda is sensible and logical, then you go on to say she is biased. You are not intelligent enough or too emotionallly damaged to engage the intelligent logically objectively, so I suggest you just see my posts and move swiftly along.

Kai!!!!! He finished this charlatan of an IPOB masquerading as a literary pillar. She is the type of educated Nigerian I despise...educated and supposedly exposed but still fundamentally tribal, Educated and supposedly well lettered but using her talents for her tribal pararochial or woke views. Chiamanda is the type of educated easterner that no matter the education and exposure will never get over the civil war...the irony is she wasn't around and all her views are based on lies and propaganda.

She is pretender, I figured her out years ago when she wrote her book and I knew the bigotry in her will consume her and one day she will expose herself and in the process rubbish all her accomplishments.

the problem with bigotry and tribalism is that eventually you make a fool of yourself even amongst your professional peers and those who once respected you. Just like the respected former NBA president who for tribal reasons has now taken leave of the intellect that earned him a SAN and the position of NBA president a assert in a public media such a ridiculous assertion that you need 25% of FCT to become president. Even a baby lawyer knows all citizens are equal so no citizen can have a vote more powerful than another, talk less a SAN and former NBA president!!! Its the same way the celebrated Chinua Achebe made a fool of himself and damaged his previously stellar reputation just before he died.

The bigotry and tribal sentiment will eat up the best of the Ibos if they are not careful. When you are so driven by emotion eventually you make a fool of yourself because you cannot think objectively and the only people you appeal to are those equally emotional or thinking, the univested, the rational, the objective just look at you thinking "oh my God, what a trainwreck, how could you make such a fool of yourself"!!

All this grammar because the winner was systemically shoved to 3rd position.

Like Obi, like Mko.
The only difference is that nobody who participated or supported will know peace henceforth until confession and restitution is made.

Because Elohim is totally involved now, let all mortal beware.

PDP rigged massively then. Thatโ€™s why OBJ won in the East because a lot of eastern politicians joined PDP before Ojukwu later on formed APGA.

They were powerful and just formed the party and imposed OBJ to appease Yorubas for k.lling MKO. You know who I am talking about who founded PDP.

I lost my respect for her when she turned down the award the same country she is trying to defend gave her & went to collect one chieftancy title from her people living in the same country. She is a Tribal bigot & has no capacity to speak on behalf of Nigeria, she can speak on behalf of beerfraud.

This is just another attempt by a hack to whip up tribal sentiments against Igbos in Nigeria - evidenced by a disgusting reference to 1993 and the Arthur Nzeribe saga which all sane minds know was orchestrated by the military junta at the time.

Seun, it is alarming that you allow these kinds of highly divisive pieces to grace the front page.

The writer never attempts to tackle the sacrosanct issues raised by Ms Adichie but goes all out denigrating Igbos.

It is pathetic that nairaland has continued to fuel the division and bigotry that have resurfaced following the last elections.

I hope the money you're making from all of this is much more than 30K this time, and enough to save you when the time of reckoning comes.

As for the other bigots who gleefully relish every chance to throw vitriol at Igbos, hear this!

We survived every attempt to annihilate us since 1945 till date and have even managed to thrive, in spite of. We will continue to do so because we openly stand on the side of truth and justice.

Will Nigeria and Nigerians ever overcome this level of division and hate?

Maybe.

But it will take a few decades from what I've seen so far.

Personally, I have now made it a mission to try and get my most loved ones the most comfortable lives they can get in Nigeria, and if possible to get them out of that country if need be.

It is very obvious that due to seemingly insurmountable cultural and societal differences, the major ethnic groups in Nigeria will never see eye to eye on certain issues like leadership, human capacity development, justice and freedom.

In conclusion, i have to admit that the signs are very ominous - a darkness is coming.

May justice, light and truth triumph!

Lies.

Obasanjo never won 95% in any south east state both 1999 and 2003 despite his wanton rigging.

Even with his excessive rigging, ojukwu cut a big number of his votes in 2003.

The only non Igbo apart from Jonathan to win 80% and above is atiku in Anambra. And that was obi factor.

Igbos will never give Yoruba man block of votes. It has never happened in any history.

Can someone please trash this nonsense. Just trying to catch up with Adichie's write up. CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE the world knows.... Is Dele the name of an animal, place or thing? Nonsense ingredient!
muhammaduyusufu:
Part 2

If you feel you are in a safe sanctuary in the USA and can throw or dart some dangerous goblin on Nigeria to breed hate, division, anarchy with fatal and cataclysmic consequences, remember, your people will also be affected too.

That election defied many odds. Many governors lost their states to the opposition. Even the President-elect lost his firm grip on Lagos. Mr Buhari lost his Katsina base while El Rufai's political wizardry could not win him Kaduna, yet you are busy pooh-poohing and sacrilegiously puncturing and discrediting the whole process as a sham or charade! How dare you! That election may not have been the best but in few places where there was violence, the people stood solidly to exercise their franchise. Did you have an inkling of what transpired in Obi's immediate enclave in the east? Many APC apologists were either killed or prevented from voting. Were you cerebrally on sabbatical break when the election that produced President Biden plunged America into a never-seen-before orgy of violence with fatalities recorded? With a whiff of hindsight, was the election annulled on that premise? Ironically, it is the product of that election that you are obsequiously kowtowing and genuflecting for with the sole aim of consigning Nigeria into a pariah state again.

Where Obi won in his precincts with some APC voters disenfranchised and some paid the supreme sacrifice, you never rationalized it as a heinous crime but in other places where he lost glaringly, you wanted the whole exercise cancelled. This is nothing but sheer ambivalence. Late Prof ( Eze) Chukwuemeka Ike wrote that only a foolish fly follows the dead into the grave. The ealier you extricate yourself from those inanities, jejune irrationalities and incongruous permutations and come to reality, the better for you.

No amount of writing will reverse the collective will of the people. As a fellow who wrote the account of the civil war that claimed millions of lives, built valleys on their cheeks, made them pot-bellied and a caricature of anything human, you should know better that writing effusively to cause chaos is a height of unpatriotism. If in the events you cause another civil unrest, it would be too late to plead self-exculpation and self-abnegation your ill-thought out writings would have caused. Obi lost that election glaringly and there is no way you can dress a vassal---festooning his ambience, adorning him with costly ornaments and apparel--- through malcontent depositions, he will remain a vassal and never a prince.

Dr Dele Afelumo is a practising physician.

you guys are trying hard to twist the narrative. Tinubu's rejection has nothing whatsoever to do with tribe or party. We voted against him simply because of glaring flaws and impending disaster. The old man is incapacitated, demented and Obviously not in anyway aware of his immediate environment. You all are at ease at the moment because he has not dropped missiles lately. Soonest he will address the public again and all these glaring blunders will be exposed to the public again. Had APC presented Osibanjo Obi wouldn't have been in the discussion today. The yorubas that voted against him remember how muted Tinubu was when ISKILU WAKILI was sacking people from their homes in the south west. And many more. I don't know how the IGBO narrative came to bear here. Fully Edolite sha.
