They voted for PDP, dumbster

Detribalism to the core, right!

You are an ethnic bigot

Bring that of 2023 election winner

LegendHero:


I am an ethnic bigot. I love that and I never denied that.

It is you that is hypocritically trying to claim you ain’t an ethnic bigot when all statistics point to that.

Lol, SE and most-detribalized in the same sentence. It seems tribalism now mean another thing for dictionary. You guys just love deluding yourself.

Even Ojuku will laugh at your folly.

LegendHero:


Because I am bold and not a hypocrite.

It is you guys that are not bold enough to admit your tribalism. Maybe you’re scared because your people don’t live in their lands, they can’t afford to be bold about their tribalism.

So you guys would rather play open tribalism but delude yourself in your brain and say “We are not tribalist”.

Before you proudly refer to yourself as a tribal/ethnic bigot, know the difference between a tribal bigot and a tribalist.

A tribalist refers to someone who has a strong loyalty to their own tribe or social group. This loyalty can manifest as prioritizing the interests, values, and beliefs of one's own group above those of others. Tribalism itself is not inherently negative and can simply refer to a strong cultural or community identity.

A tribal bigot, on the other hand, is someone who not only prioritizes their tribe but also harbors prejudice, disdain, or hatred towards members of other tribes. This form of bigotry can lead to discrimination, exclusion, and acts of hostility against outsiders. The term "tribal bigot" implies a negative and harmful stance towards those who are not part of one's own group.

How may states did the oppoaition win in SSS/SE in 2023

Bobloco:
Data doesn't lie.

The south-east is and will always remain the most detribalized ethnic group in Nigeria.


It is the only geopolitical zone in this country that votes based on the competence and capacity of the candidate to perform rather than the ethnic background of the candidate.

The 2023 election is the only time the South East voted overwhelmingly for a candidate from their geopolitical zone, not because he is from the South East but because he was the best candidate in that election. 

This is largely because 2023 is the only time the south east truely ever came close..... Simply because obi had gathered enough attention as a running mate for atiku ( of the pdp...the opposition party... The formal ruling party just some years ago...).
was there ever a time a strong candidate merge from the south east?..... So it simply means the south east had to vote a candidate from another tribe......

States won with over 70% votes, yet you write in from number 6 down to 9 just to pad the stats?

Since 2023 election, Ibos always dey attack the yorubas. Nna dey vex because Tinubu won the election. The North just dey look nna on a plasma TV.

Meanwhile, so many yoruba youths voted for Peter Obi in 2023.

Abeg, be calming down o. It will be disastrous if all yoruba youths turn against Peter Obi in 2027 because notherners will not vote for him. Abeg, play politics with sense o.

EleventhWeirdo:


Awo is not Ziks mate in any form. One is an idealist who frolicked with philosophers about empty, impracticable visions of some bogus African unity/one state while the other was someone who has actual, globally reputable achievements to his name, some of which are solely upscaling education, arts and literacy of his people to competitive and exemplary heights.

Well you are right to say Awo is reputable but wrong to say it is global rather it is local with pinch of tribalism in it but Zik is global and didn't really lean towards his roots that's why most Igbos don't really regard him when compared to how others do.

Bobloco:

This one below is what?

Detribalism to the core, right!

You are an ethnic bigot

I don't know why you went and added states that did not reach 70% and now it looks like it's not "tribalism". But in Peter obis part, you made sure to follow your own rules

kachistone:


You are funny chief. Awolowo is better than the great Zik of Africa? How?

You said what did Zik do for Igbos. Hmmm. I graduated from UNN a school founded by Zik in Oct. 1960.

The economy of Eastern Nigeria in the 1950s and 1960s was rated amongst the highest in the world due to Zik's pragmatism and Michael Okpara's policies.

Zik made the Igbos to be at the forefront of Nigeria's politics in the 50's and 60's and you say Awolowo is greater than him.

Sir, I respect Awolowo and I wish Zik and Awolowo put their egos because their partnership would have been beneficial to the country.

But I wouldn't tolerate any Zik slander. He was the biggest politician in his time and the Biafran movement didn't gain much international prominence because Zik believed in one Nigeria to the core.

Biafra would have succeeded if Zik supported it because he had the clout and international connections.

Hear yourself, when we asked what is Zik contribution to the Ibos, you mentioned university. University wey people dey find, did Awo not found OAU?

There was never a time where Eastern region economy was better than the Western Region. No time because even in the national archive where you have the production and output of each region, Western Region have always led the park.

Anyone that say Zik is better than Awolowo needs to have their brain checked. Even Zik won’t rate himself in terms of verifiable achievements than Awolowo.

I pointed out rivers too?
It’s enough that u have come out that you are a proud tribalist. I won’t go on with u

Oh now that we called out your lies, you go back to default victim syndrome of calling me a tribalist again.

What is the percentage of Ibos in Rivers again? Hope you know Bayelsa was part of that Rivers state before.

Ikwerre are not Ibos, Ijaws are not Ibos, so what exactly is Ibo percentage in Rivers?

Realtruth2023:


With the exception of Lagos colony you were not different from the rest of us.

My ancestors in Ibadan weren’t climbing trees during that period coz Oyo empire gave them some leverage. Ijebus are master traders at that point and Oyo people trade with merchants from North Africa. We are fully clothed and developed in African standard for that period.

So never in your life group us and tree climbers together!

Realtruth2023:


Dude do not get marked by DSS because the last time I checked dog whistling and ethnic baiting against a tribe is a criminal offence. Do not let your profile be of interest to DSS.

Then DSS need to arrest everybody. Coz it takes two to tango.

Realtruth2023:


Stop being daft. Go and see how south east votedmfor Obasanjo, GEJ and Buhari in 2015. Even in 1999 SW voted overwhelmingly for Falae. Now they are attacking Obi while having short memory for 1999

You too stop being daft. Go and see how SW voted for Yaradua in 2007, Jonathan in 2011, Buhari in 2015, and Buhari in 2019.

All through that years I mentioned, we have Yoruba men on the ballot and we chose to vote other tribes.

Tribalism to the core

Did I hear you very well bro?

kachistone:



How is Awolowo better than Azikiwe? Both of them were cerebral and Nigeria would have been better if any of them were the Executive President instead of Shagari in 1979.

So the S/E voting for him wasn't a case of tribalism but a support for competence.

Besides, you said Ojukwu was a weakling in politics because he lost a senatorial election? He lost because his party NPN wasn't grounded in the East like the NPP.

Besides, Ojukwu said his intention was to align the South East with the NPN which was the ruling party. Don't forget that was the party that made Shagari and Ekwueme President and VP respectively.

Ojukwu wasn't a neophyte in Eastern politics. He and Azikiwe never agreed politically even though they were brothers.

Many things sup for that 1979 elections my chief.

Sire, I respect your submission. No insult just straight opinion.

God bless you

yemmit90:


You can't accuse any region in Nigeria in regards to tribalism. Every region tend to vote for their sons in any presidential election.

Ibo has no candidate in major parties before Obi, so you can't really say if you are triblaist or not. Besides, in 2003, PDP massively rigged all states, and Ojukwu that supposed to be a face of Igbo are very weak candidate and was rigged out as well.

In my own understanding of politics, SW is the only region that has a swing voters in Nigeria. But I must really commend SE for their loyalty to PDP since 1999, it was so unfortunate that the key players from the region were not that smart politically like SW to have used that to their advantage.

Let stop being tribalist, Nigeria need each region to function separately in their own ways.

Respect sir.

Enugu coal deposits were discovered in 1910 at the same time the city was built. Ph followed some years later. But in your stupidity you decided to be condescending and engage in dog whistling. Try and have sense.

THANKS for this. That kid is just fooling around with the OP. The other tribes have seen them for what they're. 2027, tears awaits them again.

You guys are the tribalists stop trying to gaslight others into accepting your theory.

And you're free to impose your theory on others? That's ridiculous, to say the least.

In the last election, Atiku won in Osun State, and Peter Obi won in Lagos State. I challenge you to answer this: who between Atiku and Tinubu won in any of the Southeastern states?
Do you see how irrational you can be?

Secondly, Atiku has contested many times, and there's no single Hausa or Fulani person who has come out to call other tribes names like you did.

I'm not a politician, and I don't trust politicians, but beyond anything, you guys are just demarketing Peter Obi with your careless utterances.

Slytiger:


As minister of finance, Chief Awolowo's ministry paid £20 only to those former Biafrans whose account records were lost, and to those who held their bank balances in Biafran Pounds.
Since they could not prove how much they had in their accounts, they got a blanket £20. That money was a gift from Nigeria. Those former Biafrans who could prove their account balances received all their monies.

The late Senator Arthur Nzeribe is an example of an Igbo who could prove his account balances. All former Biafrans who had accounts in banks outside the Eastern Region got access to all their funds after the war. The late Chief Alex Ekwueme is an example of this.

In every part of NIgeria, Igbos got their abandoned property back, except in Rivers, where their own fellow Igbo speaking peoples, who somehow say they are not Igbos, seized their property.

Also, there were cases of seized abandoned property in modern day Benue. But it did not happen elsewhere.

Chief Alex Ekwueme is again an example of this. Although he was not really friends, per se, with the recently departed Otunba Subomi Balogun, they lived close to each other. Just before the outbreak of the civil war, Alex Ekwueme left Lagos for the Eastern Region, like most prudent Igbos.

After the war, he returned to Lagos and, surprisingly, met his house in a renovated condition. While he was wondering what happened, his neighbour, Mr. Subomi Balogun, approached him and gave him his back rent in cash.

Chief Ekwueme's children are still alive and can attest to this.

Put yourself in Awolowo’s shoes. Many of the banks in the then Eastern Region had been destroyed. The accounts were in Biafran pounds. Records were lost. And even the banks deliberately destroyed records for fear of being punished for holding Biafran currencies, which had been declared a crime of economic sabotage against Nigeria by General Gowon's government.

Furthermore, after the war, Awolowo paid the Eastern states all their monies from the Federation Account from 1967-1970. He invested it and returned it to them, for which he was acknowledged by SG Ikoku, the Commissioner for Economic Development in East Central State, in the Daily Times of May 22, 1971.

Every family in former Biafra owes a debt of gratitude to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. But sadly, many parents who should have taught their children this documented history have instead filled them with hatred by regaling them with wartime propaganda.

These records are still available.

In addition, majority of them don't even have up to £5 in their accounts but still got the £20.

Copied*

Excellent work on this, the only thing missing was that in all the instances that Chief Awolowo did what he did for Ndigbo, at every single turn, there were people in high places vehemently opposed to it.

More than once did he threaten to resign if those policies to help reconciliation and Ndigbo reabsorbtion were not implemented, every single time Gowon had to back him.

I am sure he wrote in the memoirs that he didn't regret it, despite how Ndigbo paid him back, as he felt what he did was the right thing to do anyway.
