If Bola Tinubu can stand on a campaign podium in Enugu and tell Igbos that he does not need Southeast votes but that if Igbos wants to share in the pot of the national soup that they should better work for him politically to get something or else nothing for them. In a democratic dispensation.


If Buhari the President of Nigeria can go on an international visit before the whole world and call Southeast/Igbos 5% that doesn't deserve equal government attention with the rest of Nigerians and also called Southeast a dot in a circle without shame or remorse, then there is nothing bad in Charlie Boy a retired entertainer entertaining you Nigerians with what he wrote or quoted on x!


Two can play the game, bring it on, no lele

And I must add that the yorubas aren't courageous like the great Igbos and that explains why they say "Yes" to anything that the northeners tell them.

https://x.com/AreaFada1/status/1979374074624172390?t=1IEtFWEtz41E8Z4WsQFeMw&s=19[/quote]I think it's time for the Igbo Tribe to check themselves and know what exactly is wrong. Why do they always have issues with everyone, everywhere, home and abroad?

The only problem you have with the Yorubas is the feel of their superiority, meanwhile every thing doesn't need to be competition.

In the history of Nigeria, a quick check on those who have stood against the excesses of power/government as individuals showed 80% to 90% have been of Yoruba descents. Are these the ones you call cowards?

They never chickened out like some other self acclaimed leaders.


A figure like Kanu, Ekpa cannot manipulate the Yorubas, like they did to the Igbos. That's how smart they are. Yorubas don't do things with emotions, but well thought thru and carefully plan, and that's the difference. Yorubas are not loud mouths and are always Ten steps ahead.

This is a quick check about activism in Nigeria. Are there no Igbos in Nigeria despite the claim of speaking the truth? They are the real cowards.

Early activists and the independence movement

Herbert Macaulay (1864–1946):

Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (1900–1978): A pioneer of women's rights and a fierce anti-colonialist, she mobilized women to protest unfair colonial taxation and founded the Abeokuta Women's Union, which at its peak had 20,000 members.

Margaret Ekpo (1914–2006): A prominent anti-colonial and women's rights activist, she organized market women to advocate for their political and economic rights and worked alongside Ransome-Kuti to protest injustices.

Why did the MOD approved a post like this?

LagosOrigin:
TY danjuma is right 💯%

And I must add that the yorubas aren't courageous like the great Igbos and that explains why they say "Yes" to anything that the northeners tell them.

Mynd44:
TY Danjuma never made that statement and Charly Boy only believers he did because his is a bigot and the false statement aligns with his bigoted believes.

Only someone whose might is totally damaged will believe this nonsense and this is the problem with bigots as even if TY Danjuma says this, the resoonse from sane people should be condemnation and not saying he his right.

Tupacx:
The Igbos are very brave. You are 💯 correct,

That explains why they seat at home on Mondays.

That explains why Ojukwu ran away from a war he started after killing over 10 million of igbo people.

That explains why Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa ran away to foreign countries why leaving the other igbo people behind to die like chickens

janedonez:
We have really gone far apart in this nation, the worst is when elites of ethnic groups who are supposed to promote love and harmony seem to be the champions of ethnic division, this poses a greater problem for the future. Elites of Yoruba and Igbos extraction need to have an introspection.

Jayhome24:
And Gan Fawehinmi is igbo?

And Beko Kuti is Igbo

And Fella Aniikulapi is igbo

And Fela mother is igbo?

In education they are ahead. In economic grow per state they are ahead. In sport they are on top.

Yoruba has ruled as president and vice president in this country, they have be Senate president snd the Speaker any time they want it. Pls I want you to place any igbo achievement to counter my statement I'm here waiting?

On Sunday see the useless topic people woke up to read.

Seun Osewa delete this topic. Danjuma will never ever say this I believe this is handwork of those bittered frustrated genetically curse people.

And your moniker says "LagosOrigin" why not be proud to called your moniker Anambra or Imo or Enugu or AbiaOrigin? To show you have no shame.

Imagine this rubbish on Sunday morning...

WizardOfNG:
Another display explaining why no sensible person can respect Igbos today. Look at what a prominent Igbo is sharing.

I.e ridiculously obvious fake news my well-educated and IT-literate 12 year old child can call out easily in 60 seconds.

Yet an icon of Igbo 'enterprise', who is 75 years of age, lacks the emotional intelligence to understand his thoughtless action only shames Igbos.
