Nnamani And Igbo’s Uncharted Political Future

By

Jide Oluwajuyitan

May 18, 2023

Search for power through exploitation of the innermost fears of a group in multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation like Nigeria will remain elusive. That much we saw with the defeat of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in this year’s presidential election. I think Peter Obi’s rebuke by Chimaroke Nnamani, former governor of Enugu State over what he described as his “devious opium served to Christians within sections of Nigeria and to Igbo domiciled in different sections of Nigeria which in his opinion has now set “Igbo political trajectory back 24 years” serves as a sad reminder for those who in future might want to follow Obi’s path.

However, the credit for “deflowering the virgin innocence of political patriotism and nationalism in Nigeria belongs to Obi’s Igbo illustrious forbears. He and Igbo current inheritors of old prejudices are merely waging their forbear’s uncompleted war.

It all started when Zik as President of Igbo State Union, launched in 1943, sowed the seed of Igbo nationalism when he declared “it would appear that the God of Africa has specially created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of the ages . . . The martial prowess of the Ibo nation at all stages of human history has enabled them not only to conquer others but also to adapt themselves to the role of preserver”. That Zik’s fiery speech was to set the stage for Igbo’s many battles, first against weaker neighbours and later against the other two dominant groups, the Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani.

The Igbo battle against Yoruba interest started with the launching of Egbe Omo Oduduwa in 1948, five clear years after inauguration of Igbo Federal Union. Some of the Yoruba aristocrats involved in the formation were Sir Adeyemo Alakija, Dr Akinola Maja, Sir Kofo Abayomi Chief Bode Thomas, Chief H O Davies and Dr Akanni Doherty.  Strangely, Zik and his Igbo leaders who saw the Egbe’s inauguration as an affront promptly labelled it ‘enemy of Igbo and 27m Nigerians’. According to September 8, 1948 West African Pilot editorial, “The Egbe Omo Oduduwa must be crushed to the earth . . . There is no going back until the fascist organization of Sir Adeyemo Alakija has been dismembered”. This was followed by physical assaults on the persons of the leaders of the Egbe and damage to the houses and other properties of some of them”.

Then the rivalry between Igbo and Yoruba took a new turn. Lagos had provided the political and economic platforms through which Zik, the adopted son of Herbert Macaulay and Lagos’ white cap chiefs, attained prominence. But perhaps on account of his hostility towards Yoruba interest, Yoruba’s fractious political leaders buried their differences in 1952 to enable the AG led by Obafemi Awolowo form a government. For deciding to carry their own destiny in their own hands, Zik and his supporters labelled Awolowo and the Yoruba tribalists.

Fighting their forbears’ battle, Igbo political leaders mobilized against Awolowo’s 1959 prime ministerial ambition just as they did against his 1979 presidential contest even with an Igbo vice presidential candidate. The battle of Igbo against Yoruba interests only got worse in 1993 when MKO Abiola, despite winning a landslide victory across the country, secured only one state from the east.  The battle went on with Arthur Nzeribe issuing a public statement where he made it clear that he and the Igbo people were opposed to Yoruba presidency.  Abiola’s pan Nigeria mandate was eventually annulled and replaced with an illegal interim contraption. His heroic battle to reclaim his mandate while in Abacha’s detention was frustrated by Igbo leaders including Odumegwu Ojukwu who served as Abacha’s special envoy to Europe for the sole purpose of de-marketing MKO Abiola. In 1999, as against Olu Falae, Yoruba’s mainstream candidate, Igbo leaders settled for Obasanjo, an imposition of the northern hegemonic class.

In the race for the 2023 election, the battle against Bola Tinubu by Igbo leaders, their media and unquestioning Obidients have been no less vicious. Following his victory, agenda of Igbo elders, Igbo intellectuals and Obimedia was to try to delegitimize his victory.

Igbo battles with the Fulani hegemonic ruling class from the north with whom they share a common world outlook on how Nigeria should be run has been no less vicious. Igbo as the beautiful bride has always found their Fulani suitor irresistible. Their 1959 (NPC/NCNC) alliance was designed to taunt and hurt Yoruba leadership who had offered to serve under Zik leadership. But trouble started with Ahmadu Bello’s northernization policy that saw to the exit of all Igbo from northern bureaucracy.  Their marriage of convenience finally collapsed following the disputed 1962/3 census.

Following the constitutional crisis that followed the 1964 election, it was Zik who by seeking the support of the military over his stand-off with Balewa, that first exposed the military to politics. With 33 Igbo military officers, 10 Yoruba and eight from the north, the Igbo thought they were invincible. Young Igbo military officer’s sympathetic to Zik’s cause later staged the military putsch of January 1966 that led to the killing of all northern military officers and northern political leaders while they spared their own military and political leaders.

Nwafor Orizu who served as acting president in the absence of Zik, according  to Richard Akinjide, one of the surviving ministers, refused to call on the most senior minister to form government as provided for in the constitution. Ironsi, commander in-chief who we were told foiled the coup, insisted he could not guarantee the safety of the ministers except power was ceded to him. Dr Nwabueze, one of Ironsi advisers was said to have drafted Decree 34 of 1966 turning the country from a federal state to a unitary state. But it turned out a pyhrric victory for the Igbo as their northern rivals fought back in July 1966 leading to pogroms and the civil war of 1967-70

The two rivals regrouped again in 1979 as NPN and NPP. But the alliance again collapsed just before the 1983 election over sharing of spoils of office.

In 1999, the two rivals again came together under a PDP umbrella. For 16 years they did what they knew how to do best - sharing the resources of the nation through privatization and monetization policy. Again, what brought them together was to throw them apart when Saraki became a whistle-blower in the theft of N1.7t by children of PDP stalwarts in the name of fuel subsidy despite importing not even a pint of fuel.

 In 2023, infidelity over PDP rotational policy ripped them apart. Atiku Abubakar appealed to the northern ‘born to rule’ ethnic sentiments while Obi successfully exploited the ethnic and religion sentiments of his Igbo people. The two ended up as sore losers.

The ongoing battle for Senate presidency of the 10th assembly is all that is needed to know there is no love lost between the South-South and their Igbo Southeast brothers.

With 64-year Igbo vicious war against Yoruba and her interest, with relationship between them and their Fulani suitors often defined in the main by mutual suspicion and with their South-South neighbours now savouring their freedom after years of Igbo domination, it is not difficult to see how uncertain Igbo aspiration for leadership of a multi-ethnic Nigeria where trust constitutes a building block is.


Imagine reading this masterpiece with little or no knowledge about history..

Some people are just to good at reconstructing lies to truth using half baked facts.

Islamic extremist in the prowl.
Because of proceeds from crude oil and gas deposits in the east; you clutch tight to having one Nigeria including the east you visit with your Islamic terrorism.
You are like passengers in a drowning ship who clutch tight to the ship because the ship contains valuables. You prevent other's escape from the sinking ship. You employ all sorts of falsehood propaganda to continue your parasitic lifestyle in Nigeria.
Instead of insulting non Igbo online, just go home and put your house in order. You are your own worst enemies.

My state and region has oil and have been accommodating you for now. As competition becomes unhealthy because you hate us, you will lose all our land blessed you with along with our hospitality. If we can build thriving and safe communities then you can do it too especially if you stop the endless wasting of lives of talents and pushing them away from your land. Non Igbo want to explore and visit Igboland for business and leisure but you are hostile and you don't sell land to non Igbo.

So much is horribly wrong with you, your youths and your region but I pray God removes hate from your hearts first.

It is very shameful for a state like Anambra to be where she is today. Anambra has no reasons not to be Dubai or Johannesburg of the country. The smallest state with one of the fattest state allocation, human resources n potential, business driving potential n location.
I prayed someone like Soludo should be proactive n work like Fashola, strategies n work with the best of the best even if he needs to source from other states and countries for the best hands n tools.
He has no excuses n must knw that he is representing the hope of the nation not those unfortunate people that have been ruling us.

Instead of you to fight and restore the peace that the South East was known for you are busy comparing crime rate with boko haram infested areas. Very unfortunate

The point is tgat there us nothing that is happening in Igbo land that is not happening other places, even on a worse scale

Yet some people only remember there is insecurity in in Nigeria only if it happens in Igbo, for ulterior motives

Everyone has his own security challenges, but some people magnify that of others, leaving their own

Anambra is not safe ,it is not safe for foreigners and foreign investments and it is quite unfortunate.

All serious foreign investors should quit places that are hostile to foreigners and investments like Anambra and Akwa Ibom that its youth burnt down multi million dollar coconut Plantation investments and bring their investments to Yorubaland untll these hostile regions are ready and safe for others.


We need those investors and investments to stay in Nigeria and here in Lagos and Yorubaland, our land will bless their investments[b] for as long as they do not hate us[/b] and do not dabble into our politics.

One does not know who to believe again for Mondays sit at home in Anambra. As the news reports stand, it is quite unfortunate to note that those US embassy officials got killed for not sitting at home on Monday.

Prof Soludo is barely a year in office yet it is like all his predecessors left Anambra in a complete mess.

Sit down and be deceiving yourselves.
You can do as you like to yourselves but not to outsiders. There will be consequences.

They will place Anambra on travel advisory list and no US investor will be allowed near there. Considering the close proximity between SE states, it will affect other states.

I just don't know why you Ipobidients are too stupid to consider the implications of your actions.

MURRIC man..
Your people introduced terrorism to Nigeria through adoption of Islamic Sharia criminal laws; Boko Haram quickly emerged thereafter.

IPOB emerged and said they don't want such a country to be torn apart by religious
terrorism. They said they want to restore Biafra, but no violence as IPOB motto.
For about 4 years, IPOB people marched in the east but not even a fly harmed.
Suddenly; your Islamic extremists in Nigeria armed forces started to kill unarmed IPOB civilians.
Civilian Islamic extremists were flooded in the east to kill, after the killing, Islsmic soldiers in Nigeria army were sent to do more killings in pretence of searching for the killers.
You people don't know that you are gradually dissolving the one Nigeria you cherish because of crude oil and gas deposits in the east.

shut up man! Osun state is totally different from Anambra state. Osun state is not sitting down at home every Monday or facing atrocities from any separatist group, Osun State has always being peaceful. Why drag Tinubu into the context?, he doesn't have any influence in Anambra state for now and why do you blame Soludo for his style of governance? Perhaps, people of Anambra are not complaining.

I'm very sure Soludo is better than your whole generation, you mean he should be constructing roads up and down while he needs funds to sponsor security, pay debts owned by the state and also pay civil servants. How much is the whole Anambra State generating?, coupled the sit at down every morning crippling the economy of the State.
