I mean run away from anybody who is presenting to you that igbos are marginalized. That scammer is looking to play on the weak point of the igbo people. That scammer knows igbos are very emotional people. But here is the truth of the matter ? An article made the frontpage yesterday about the 40 most popular languages in the world. Only hausa and Yoruba made the list. That my friend is why these two tribes appear to be winning all the time. It's the sheer numbers of these 2 tribes. There are 300 more tribes who are even worse off than igbos in numbers who all should be making the same claim that they are marginalized. The point is, this is not marginalization. It's just the sheer numbers of each population in a tribe. The problem here is that the igbos think they are more than they actually are in numbers and should be competing with the top two. ITS A QUESTION OF NUMBERS NOT MARGINALIZATION. SO IF ANY SCAMMER WALKS UP TO YOU AS AN IGBO MAN AND TELLS YOU THAT YOU ARE MARGINALIZED, JUST QUICKLY HIDE ALL YOUR PROOERTY CUZ THST PERSON WANTS TO SCAM YOU

Don't let anybody scam you bro.if not for the British who handed it to igbo in 1960, if the British had never been in naija I guarantee you that the whole one thousand plus year of that region would be hausa and Yoruba fighting each other for power and that's literally the history of Nigeria before the white man. Oyo empire etc vs hausa. And so the only reason the igbo ever came to feature is because the British came in. But as soon as British left it went back to status quo which is hausa and Yoruba fighting each other for power

I agree that I am not British and don't know English very well but . . . This bolded statement above surely sounds like 'igbos are being marginalized' to me or am I not reading the statement properly? 🤔

There are over 300 marginalized tribe. If you don't got the numbers you don't got the numbers. You just accept your role as a minor tribe. You play your position. Or you can make a power move by trying to meld with the tribe with the most population which is hausa. It's all a game. Play the game or sit down but stop crying

Okay I get your point . . . So, according to your logic, in order to avoid marginalization or suppression . . The Igbos should begin to birth children like the Hausas and fulanis in order to increase their numbers at elections? 🤔

Is this your solution to the obvious marginalization we Igbos suffer daily in Nigeria? 🧐

Okay, then allow me speak on behalf of my fellow Igbo people

Oga, we will keep crying out against the marginalization of the South East for as long as it keeps on being a tool of suppression by those in power and we will never ever bend down to kiss the behinds of anyone else like the people of the South West do

We Igbos do not have that sort of 'slavery/servant' vibes as our neighbour's do

So you can go ahead and close this thread right now as it has served its purpose . . . Kapissssh? 🙄

oh you kiss ass more than everybody, it's just that you don't know how to kiss ass well. You are not strategic when it comes to kissing ass. Everybody must kiss ass. It's a rites of passage. Even Joseph was in the pit kissing pharaohs ass, Daniel was kissing Nebuchadnezzar's ass, we all need to kiss ass. It's a rites of passage

Your statement here was quite clear why Nigeria is the way it is today, have you ever asked yourself why the British worked with the Igbos most and equally handed over to them?

If you can get that answer right then you will know why Nigeria is where it is today since you people took over and refused to let the Igbos handle Nigeria.

Secondly, this your statement

I guarantee you that the whole one thousand plus year of that region would be hausa and Yoruba fighting each other for power

shows clearly what you (the north and the south west) want from having a country, so you people's sole purpose for having a country is to drag for power, no wonder the country has lost purpose of what a country should be because those who have been ruling for over 50 years have lost the purpose of what a country should be like.

You were so arrogant with your talk that you ignorantly exposed your true intentions of what you people want from having a country.

So this is what Nigeria is all about to you people?

Hey it is what it is brother. The 50 thousand plus years history of that land called Nigeria is Yoruba and hausa dragging for the country 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and after British left they have returned back to dragging each other for power 😂😂🤣🤣.

So what does the Igbos have in common with you people who have been fighting each other for dominance ?

Why do you want to share country with someone you want to keep fighting with?

So this is what having a country means to you both?

How then do you want the country to make progress?

Dude, if you know you can't back up your fallacies and lies on this forum, then better not start what you can't finish! You've had free rein to be abusing and trying to belittle Ndigbo on this thread, and all your inane posts were left untouched! But the moment i give you a robust response, the spambot kicks in and my post is hidden....the FIRST post on this thread to be removed by the spambot while all yours remain untouched! Luckily for you i had a hunch my post would be removed so i saved it! I dare you to reply this post so i can repost the initial one that was hidden....either that, or i'll open a new thread on this section, by way of right of reply, and invite you to come and defend your lies!

At bolded can you explain how the British worked with the Igbo most?

History tell us that the British worked mostly with the Yoruba and people in the coastal region than they do with the hinterland.

Don't turned upsidedown the history, the footprints of the British are scattered in the SW and visible to everyone in Nigeria

They are not marginalised. They are simply a people who believe they should be greater and more prominently dominant than all others and have more than everyone else.

When they cannot achieve that, they begin shouting marginalisation. This is how they turned Awolowo into a "tribalist" because he did not allow Azikiwe, Onyeama etal turn the SW into an annex of the SE where Yorubas would then be led by Igbos, at all levels, in their own land.

Of course they are "marginalised" if the new and current definition of marginalised is being entirely unreasonable, having a delusional sense of entitlement based on casual disregard for others plus hosting a historically unrelenting obsessing with dominating their fellow Nigerians.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/105036-how-the-igbo-introduced-tribalism-to-nigerian-politics-by-femi-fani-kayode.html?tztc=1

”Igbo domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time”- Charles Onyeama, a prominent igbo lawyer and member of the Central Legislative Council, 1945. (Page 204 ”Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria” by Godfrey Mwakikagile).

”It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages ….” – Dr Azikiwe, President of the Pan-Igbo Federal Union. (The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949).

The first statement from Charles Onyeama, which was made in 1945, was the first overtly tribal and divisive comment that was made and recorded in the politics of southern Nigeria in our history. That is where and when tribalism in the south actually started. After that comment, and as a direct reaction to it, the Yoruba established the ”Egbe Omo Oduduwa” to further and protect Yoruba interests and after that came the formation of the Action Group in 1948.

Igbos don't have the numbers but they won't hear
A scammer that will lie to them is who they want to listen to all because they speak the same language

Why will igbos have the same privileges as the yorubas and hausas when they are not as populated as them
And even contribute far less than those two to the national purse and economy

Hell you don't even need Igbo votes to become President, PMB did it
Pbat also proved it
Yet they are still grandstanding as if they can influence anything politically

SeeWahala:

Firstly, it was your tribesman who wrote the article that made the claim before I did, are you saying the article he wrote about the Igbos is filled with lies?

And if it is filled with lies, why didn't you attack him first? Why single me out for attack?

Doesn't it show that to you are ready to accept a lie from your tribesman than you hear the truth from another tribe?

It is this same thing we the Igbos have been dealing with in Nigeria from people like you...

You have no problem with the same statement from your tribesman but once it is from Igbo you will find a problem, just like the Lagos is a no man's land statement, Your tribesman was the first to say it but when Igbos support his claim it then becomes a problem.

Aside from the claim I still have evidence for you, read:

There are only two tribes in Nigeria: the leaders and those that are being lead.
As a youth, when u begin to shout Igbos bla bla, then u are already being used to destabilize the country.

Go to Ukwa east in Abia state and see how Igbos are being marginalized and treated by thesame Igbo leaders.
Nobody is after Igbos, most of us are angry at Igbos and Yorubas because u people come online and start eulogizing politicians from ur own tribe and talk down on others.

of course you see them all over here shouting an Igbo man will not rule Nigeria, Igbos are not desperate for power like you guys, so why should we join you guys and the north to start fighting for power that you only want to use for bragging rights and to fight other tribes especially the Igbos, that's what having a country means to you people as stated by the OP who is from your tribe and we can clearly see it happening in Tinubu's governance.

This is what Nigeria is all about to you guys and you want Igbos to join in the nonsense you people are doing...

Shebi Tinubu is president today, Fulanis are still killing you people like the rest of Nigerians even up to your Obas, the power is just useless to you people not to talk the rest of Nigerians.

The writer of this post sounds like a primary school pupil.
I don't see anything important in it and no sense.
Igbos should be allowed to be and stop speaking on their behalf.
