Jonjam269:
Isn’t it Chimamanda who wrote to the United States, urging them not to recognize Tinubu’s presidential election victory—and even reportedly called for his arrest? This is the height of delusion. These people are so deeply entrenched in conspiracy theories, social media propaganda, and echo chambers that they’ve lost all sense of objectivity.

They’re quick to point accusing fingers at others, yet fail to take responsibility for their own self-inflicted problems.
Does that dispute her fact. She said the truth because it is the truth. Igbo land is not as safe as it was before, people fears going home, that's the truth
She was also right to write to whoever she wants to right to when she feels the election that brought her president is flawed

Na today? They have always preferred Cambodia, India, Malaysia, SA, and Lagos.
Every igbo believes there is a winch in their village who will kill them if they go home. It even has nothing to do with the project of destruction that Nnamdi Kanu is doing to the region currently.
Please take responsibility for your self-inflicted woes.

A self inflicted wound is the most difficult to heal. Kanu and his supporters created the insecurity

Ironically, Obi gave him an overwhelming knock out right in his sitting room.
It was the biggest disgrace for a presidential election in modern times.
A clear indication that Tifnubu never won the election.
Since then Peter Obi has been your nightmare. You can't comment without mentioning his name.
You're all giving Obi free publicity in a daily basis.
Thank you all
Those who claimed victory in the aforementioned state are still chasing shadows, searching for their elusive mandate. Meanwhile, Asiwaju remains your master—the duly elected President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Be wise, dear son—delusion has never been a strategy.
Re: Chimamanda Adichie: Igboland Has Changed, People Are Terrified Of Coming Back by Dalohad:
Late Buhari and Simon Ekpa really destroyed Igboland with their wickedness.

Buhari armed Buratai and his python dancers to invade Igboland, while Ekpa released hoodlumms from prisons and armed them to fight Soldiers, when there were not enough soldiers to unalive, they turned their violence to the locals including women and children in the guise of fighting for Biafra. They even became kidnappers, kidnapping their own 'Biafran' people for ransoms.

Ihiala and Orsu are case studies.

We thank God peace is gradually returning to these areas.

An amnesty program is very important to disarm these boys and re-orientate them.

If Boko Haram that is 1000 times more violent can be assuaged, I see no reason why angry Ibo youths can't be assuaged too.

there re two people who blive Tinubu is wrecking this country.
1. Illiterate people
2. People that lack foresight
Stop acting smart, that's how Buhari was eulogized for 8 years when he left Aso Rock it became clear he didn't perform, even if Tinubu got 8 years after Aso Rock would be same old story. Even the blind and deaf in Nigeria are aware and it is crystal clear Tinubu is clueless on how to salvage the country.

IPOB/ESN is not a joke. They have killed billionaires, professors, businessmen, politicians, traditional rulers and displayed the heads in the market square, they killed lawmakers, police, civil defence corps, vigilantes, they even killed pregnant Fatima and her four kids. They murdered many logistic transporters. They equally engaged in cannibalism with evidences. Who no go runs?

Unlike me, I don't pretend here. How about you that you have made it a mission to attack Tinubu with every opportunity since he stopped Ambode to go for second time? You are pained because he stopped your government partronage which you enjoyed while working with Abibulife. You can only created multiple accounts but we will continue to expose you. BTW, you have not been posting trash from Olaleye of ThisDay again, that Ambode/Amaechi/Amosun/Ganiyu Solomon guy. Una go kpai in your hatred of Tinubu. We are watching.

WizardofNG, I think a more accurate term for their condition is Group Narcissism, or Collective Narcissism.
Indeed. Add sociopathy also. With the last chapter below been very pertinent description of behaviour we all associate with them.

I.e "they lack remorse or do not regret their behavior".

You who has clue should, here and now, make a coherent case for how to "salvage the Country" since Tinubu is "clueless" in that regard.

The Mic is yours. Do it justice and reveal what Tinubu and literally thousands of the brightest Nigerian minds, home and abroad, are missing that you alone see Crystal clear.

This is the tragedy of their existence. I.e refusal to take responsibility for their own wrongdoing further worsened by their 24/7 readiness to blame 'outsiders' for all their self-inflicted woes.

Is there even a single case, since man has existed, of any individual gaining solutions for problems he has causes himself yet continue to insist is the fault of others alone?


They continue to mention Tinubu, "Yaribas" etal. Yet what does Tinubu or Yorubas have to do with how Igbos, of their own freewill, chose to relegate their democratically elected leaders and replace them with genocidal hate preachers in the form of Kanu plus Ekpa and Chinasa Nworu etal?

They made Kanu etal "supreme leaders" of SE Nigeria and commanders of the fortunes of one of the biggest ethnic groups in Africa.

Igbos, in their overwhelming majority, decided to obey and sit-at-home for these homicidal hate preachers rather than their democratically elected leaders.

Till today, they continue to justify their wrong choices rather than admit, as Chimamanda does, that there is indeed something very broken about the collective psyche and outlook of Igbos .

You hate Buhari and 'outsiders' mean you put your future in the hands of murderous genocidaires and hate preachers like Kanu etal?

Who does that individually let alone in many millions globally? I.e jump from frying pan into the fire?

grin this is the truth they hate to tell themselves. They tell you their land is the most developed and yet they keep deserting their region and gaslight Yorubas into abandoning their flourishing region for a barren and hostile region, when clearly the pattern of migration is tilting towards yorubaland because of it economic potential as the economic capital of Nigeria. They will soon be here to turn logic on its head and rain insult on chimamanda for telling them the truth….btw proudly lagos grin
The truth you hate to tell yourselves is that your idol, Muhammadu Buhari,injected the insecurity in Igbo land, that's one of his greatest achievements as president of Nigeria
Buhari visited Imo state more than any other state in Nigeria. Each time after his visits, the violence in the southeast multiplied.

Before Buhari as president, Igbo land was the most peaceful part of Nigeria.

WizardOfNG:
She has spoken the truth and admitted, unlike the thousands online living in denial, the "casual disregard for life" in Ala Igbo today has now gotten the south East to this stage where it is a region Igbos flee, to Lagos and Abuja etal, never to return.

You lot always attacking Yorubas, calling them all manners of ungracious things, why are you silent? Your heroine has spoken .

Are you going to tag her "efulefu" too so you can bask in your infamously irresponsible approach to life whereby you prefer to blame others always for your self-inflcted woes?
The real truth is that Nigeria is amongst the top 10 most terrorised country on earth, so there is nothing new in what Adichie is saying. This is not a South East thing, this is a Nigerian thing, Nigeria is a highly insecure country, but mischief makers only remember insecurity if it has to do with South East only

They don't care that more people are lost in Benue State alone to insecurity, than the entire South East. They don't care that Amnesty International recently released a report that over five hundred thousand people are in IDP camps in Benue

They don't care that millions of people are in IDP camps all over the North and that large parts of the North are under bandit control.

They don't care that almost every State in the South South is suffering herdsmen attacks.

Rather than ask why Nigeria is not a peaceful country, they are more interested in making insecurity a South east thing

You people don't care about insecurity, you only care about using insecurity to play politics

God bless you. Ebubeaugu, full of Igbos that should be patriotic in wishing to save SE from homicidal villains, became worse than the criminals in ala Igbo leading to their disbandment for extra-judicial killing, extortion, robbery, Kidnapping etc,etc.

Contrast with Amotekun, full of indigenous Yorubas samecway Ebubeagu consisted of indigenous Igbos, that is now the best complementarysecurity force to the NPF in our entire nation.

They don't wish to accept that the problem is with the mentality and outlook of the average Igbo and not the system per se.

No Nigerian can deny that SARS was dreaded nationally leading to their disbandment by Buhari.

Yet, bad as SARS were, it was only in ala Igbo, under Peter Obi, that Awkuzu SARS evolved into a demonic evil brutally murdering young men, harvesting their organs for sale, and then dumping their bodies in Rivers.

Without a change of core orientation and mindset, I make bold to say the SE and Core North will remain the only region State Policing will fail to achieve desired results.

Isn't this what we have been telling you and your likes all this while
That the so called Marginalization of igbos is just political talks, theres no community that's "enjoying"
We are all in this together, the rot was a collective efforts of elites across ethnic lines , so also the Poverty doesn't have ethnic coloration.
And to your Biafra blackmail
It's foolish to be saying you want Biafra yet refuse to take concrete action towards that..... It's nothing but a blackmail tool the igbo elites use in order to make the rest dash them power,
It's not working
It won't work,not in this present Nigeria

Mentioning Obi is very pertinent because most Nigerians understand he is the personification of the unreal hypocrisy of you lot based on blind love of your own and primordially senseless hatred and disregard you host for other.

Mainly Yorubas that, since the days of Azikowe etal, you feel threatened by because you cannot dominate or better them meritoriously.

Obi is one of the Igbo leaders, 100% certified by his decades-long failings as a political leader in your region, who has gotten the SE where she is today.

When you people then tout such a gross failure as fittest to lead Nigeria, while daily insulting Tinubu as "useless, never mind the fact he is the reformational father of the modern Lagos you are all fleeing to, do you think others will not call out Obi constantly as a show of how warped , prejudiced, clannish and bigotedly hypocritical your support is for such a monumental failure?
