What Were The Offence Of Igbo, That Ironsi Did What? by paxonel(op): 6:44am On Sep 09, 2024
I am neither Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba. I'm just one of the minority tribes who is observing this whole long tribalistic episodes in a country and I'm pretty ashamed..
Ashamed of my generation.

You know, can you people shield your filthy tribalistic swords and move on?
The world is becoming a global village and in this 21st century someone is still thinking tribal discrimination, what the...

There are things we should grow beyond as a people. We cannot in this generation repeating the same mistakes of Ironsi, Tafawa Belewa and Obafemi Awolowo, may be we should learn more from their good legacies and totally ignore their tribalistic sentiments as more educated children of these past leaders.

It is so shameful to keep washing our dirty linen out there for the world to see, or is it only Nigeria that is blessed with varieties of tribes and cultures in the world?

The people OP is talking to know themselves.

Even South Africans have noticed.

Obviously if you can sell or betray your brother to an outsider, you’ll also sell that outsider in a heartbeat

Igbo's are only sleeping on the bed they laid in the past.

If for over decades, their obsolete methods about things refused to work, why are they repeating same technique and be expecting different results?

It has nothing to do with tribe. Ibo want a better way of living and has moved on. It's only one side that is derailing this nations development.

That's why Nigeria since 64 years of age has been governed by Yoruba and Hausa and still nothing to show for it.

The backwardness is cultural

You guys should stop dragging what you don't have any interest in. Ironsi, Tafawa Belewa and Awolowo are not your family members.

Sharrap there.

All you know is hating on a tribe that doesn't care if you exist and will still be making progress when you go 6ft into the ground.

If there is nothing in your brains?, go to hospital and have them stuff it with cotton wool

What the SA folks don’t know is that you Yeebos are the biggest tribalistic tribe in all of Africa.

What the SA folks don’t know is that you Yeebos are the selfish ones who never think of no one else but themselves.

What the SA folks don’t know is that you yeebos have never been a good representative of ‘watch my back, I watch your back’

When did you join Nairaland? Do you remember people like Chino, lady Osisi and a host of knuckleheads I no longer remember their monikers?
If you can find those people and their past posts you will get your answers.
These folks predated Nnamdi Kanu of Radio Hate.
By the way, you need the N100000 more than I do.

Again sharrap ur dirty buccal cavity ... u want to try and claim saint when u are the chief tribalistic lord in this forum.

To be sincere Nigeria can never be one!!!! We are too polarized and tribalized to be one. Tribal slurs are a generational something that go way deep into the formation of the name Nigeria. It can never be erased. Even our Politicains have found it a useful tool to use durilng elections.

We Just DIVIDE, SEPARATE, DISINTEGRATE!!! Make everybody bear him papa name.

SA folks don’t give a f**k. They have their own internal issues to worry about. Stop belittling Nigerians thinking you’re making new friends

Talking about watch my back I watch yours, we know those who betrayed Buhari just less than 1 year after he left office. They’re now telling Nigerians that he destroyed the country. These same people told Nigerians for 8 consecutive years that he was doing a great job, that he was fixing the country.

Compare that to Obidients who were mostly GEJ supporters. Many years after GEJ left office they still stand by him and defend him. This is what you call loyalty. You can count on their friendship and support. Money didn’t buy their loyalty.

I grew up not knowing some Ibos had so much hate for other Nigerians. Internet brought that to light.
Nobody is a coward, in this world you reap what you sow.
There's no point crying and wailing about being hated when your own heart is filled with hate.

Who voted for Azikiwe in the SW, Ibos? Do you have any idea how many Yorubas were in the NCNC?
Abeg don't drag me to history lessons. I am not interested.
Other Nigerians are investing in different parts of the country, even Indian and Lebanese are investing, what is the big deal about that? How is that a proof some Ibos are not hateful?
