Nigeria Moving Backwards For Blackmailing Igbos, Denying Them Presidency by nairavsdollars(op): 10:09am On Feb 22, 2025
Isn't it surprising that Nigeria, a truly blessed nation with human and resources is in this present state?

A nation that should be like Dubai or Singapore is still backwards, suffering from no light, no water and bad roads in 2025?

The more you are antagonistic to Igbos, the more backwards, Nigeria will be.

IBB is merely distracting us from the real issues

The albatross of the Nigerian state is the deep seated hatred for the Igboman. Though it is the uniting force of different ethnic groups, the means by which some ethnic groups or people appease the hausa-Fulani, it is the principal force that impedes the development of the state. This it does inconjunction with the current structure of the country.

As long as they continue to suppress and oppress the Niger Delta,thunda will continue to faya them all.

Headship of agencies like the nnpc,ptdf,DPR,ministry of petroleum should be Thier sole and exclusive preserve.
All children of the Niger Delta should have scholarship up to university level. This ain't too much for the region surviving the country where northerners and other thieves got all the oil wells and wealth

17 years ago, Abia state sacked all Abia civil servants from Imo state.

In 2018, years ago, Igbos in mbaise fought with other Igbos because an Igbo man not from mbaise was made the Bishop of mbaise. When the pope tried to intervene, mbaise insulted and fought with the pope.

The same year, Obiano changed Abakaliki Street in Anambra to Club street. Umahi ran down from ebonyi to warn Obiano to change it back to Abakaliki that it was done out of hatred for ebonyi people. ebonyi and anambra people here on Nairaland were insulting themselves.

The last time the Igbo Governors convened security meeting for Igboland, how many Igbo Governors were there?

5 years ago, when they opened a regional testing centre for Coronavirus in ebonyi, Igbos everywhere started fighting and insulting themselves for having the centre in ebonyi instead of other Igbo states.

Anambra against ebonyi, Imo versus Abia, all of them fighting ebonyi.

You talking nonsense here, you're probably an Osu which your fellow Igbos will not touch.

GEJ was President for more than half a decade, what did he do?
Was it not Igbos who GEJ referred to as the pillars of his administration. Did Igbos allow him do anything for the Niger Delta then?
Oduah, this idiotic Obi and co were the ones at the forefront then. Meanwhile, GEJ couldn't even provide potable water for his own community.

Today, even the useless Niger Delta youth and elders are senselessly fighting for security contract. Is that all they are worth?

He has written his own denial but we owe posterity to keep the facts for posterity.

Now, let's look at the killers:


Nzeogu - killed Sardauna
Ifeajuna - killed Balewa
Nwobosi- killed Akintola and Arrested Fani Kayode
Anuforo- killed Maimalari
Nwatuegwu- killed Okotie Eboh....

Since 1999 tell me any igbo man that has been serious about being the president.

Buhari contested 5 times, made alignments and realignments till he got it, Jonathan only got it as a result of the death of his principal, tinubu got it due to his prowess in the political game.

Do you want the presidency to be given to you on a platter when other thieving politicians are strategixing, aligning and playing the game with their lives?

Unfortunately, the seat is zoned to north or south, after north do their eight years after tinubu if an efik, urhobo, esan or any minority plays their card well while igbos sit and wait for it fo be given to them on a platter because it's their turn it will still elude them.

Wake up and play fhe game like your mates and stop this yeye pity party, it has never helped you and will never help you.

One thing about you people, especially from the west,you know very well how to open your mouth waaaaaaaa very wide and preach to others as if it's a different ball game entirely in your region.
You people agitate for absolutely nothing but are always very quick to attack others who do so,who want better life for their people.
True the people, most elders and some youths in the Niger Delta scramble for crumbs that actually belong to them,which actually ain't their entire faults. I work at sea and whenever we sail to the deltas,we most times come across what they call kpo fire in the distance (these guys burning crude oil to make diesel) and it's all bulshhht,these things belong to us and we shouldn't be doing this. But we all know the kinda oppressing govt we've had over the years,govt who's ready to kill if you dare complain or protest! We saw that in the days of operation crocodile smiles and the bombardment of yar adua after his so called demonic amnesty expired.
Now they've been reduced to scrambling for crumbs. We also saw that from buhari and his operation python dance and his army killing ipob peaceful protesters!
Nnamdi Kanu came and said a lot of things..he specifically warned us southerners about killer herdsmen lodged in our forests and ready to start attacking and killing us but what happened,you people attacked him day and night and ensured he's till today,silenced. But only God knows how many people have been brutally murdered,killed by these killer herdsmen.

The thing of note is that,while these were going on,the other Nigerians especially the yorubas mocked and mocked and made jest everyday.
Now you open your mouth and called my people useless but what is the situation in your own region? What are your youths up to? What are the elders up to? Is it Eldorado over there?
There's hardly sporting activities going on in Lagos,for example cos virtually all the young boys are into agberoes and chasing danfo...

Gej that you mentioned was a president by circumstances and you expected him to perform miracles overnight?!
And more importantly,did you people allow him to work,did you give him time?!
Did you not conspire with the north and had him kicked out for your buhari and his glorious 8yrs?

Always endeavour to look at yourself before addressing others.

oga, they are not desperate but cry day after day of being denied the seat, the joke is on you.

Wether i am enjoying it, i would have taken you serious if your governors and house reps are any different, you were the first president of this country, you have ruled as a military dictator, you have been senate president, you have been deputy senate president, you held sway in the Jonathan govt and yet cry victim very day and night.

Just keep crying, your northern masters will only give you buckets.

i am a south southerner, stop making excuses for failure, Goodluck had all the time and freedom to better the lives of Niger delta people but he was busy building almajiri schools for northerners, schools that later turn to fowl cage.
We as south southerners never benefited anything from Jonathan not even appointments.
At the end of the day the second term he was slaving the south south for still eluded him.

What progress has the southeast made for itself?
Seeing progress in South East could have given Nigerians a reason to even consider.
But is it one of your leaders who has wrecked your region over the years that will be president and do to Nigeria what they have done to your region? God Forbid

Who ever gives someone presidency.
It is idiotic to in democracy to say someone denied you presidency, has any Igbo man ever been prevented from running for the sit of the presidency?
