I’ve noticed a lot of you tribalist trolls keep saying an Igbo will never rule Nigeria, so let me educate you fools. The first president of Nigeria was an Igbo man, Nnamdi Azikiwe. We’ve been there done that. It’s only you trolls who think the presidency will bring prosperity to your tribe.


His swearing in

IPOB/OBIDIENTS are just too unintelligent.

Nigeria was operating a parliamentary system of government at the time. Nnamdi Azikiwe was not the head of state. Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa was the head of government. Nnamdi Azikiwe was basically an errand boy or glorified receptionist to the head of state at that time.

I know it pains you that the first president of Nigeria was Igbo, but that is what the history books will record.

Igbos were the first pure blacks to rule an African nation.

The first pure black president of Liberia was Edward James Roye. He served as the 5th President of Liberia , he is of igbo origin. He was sworn in January 3 1870 before there was anything like Nigeria.

Igbos get level.
