When They Say Igbo Don't Love Themselves, This Is What They Mean by Igbophobia(op): 8:53am On Jun 11
Have you noticed that whenever an Igbo tries to become president, his most vocal opposition would be an Igbo? I remember when Alex Ekwueme wanted to contest against Obasanjo's second tenure, of all PDP stalwarts at the convention, only Dr Kema Chikwe, an Igbo woman openly canvassed for Obasanjo with a "continuity" mantra even though campaign should have ended before the convention.

This also reminds me that it was Charles Soludo that led the campaign against Peter Obi in 2023, knowing fully well that he was the best candidate at that time. Have you seen that in 2027, another Igbo, Kenneth Okonkwo has continued the infamy of Igbo against Igbo.

Could this built-in envy be the reason why people kill themselves in some of our villages using charms, poison and other forms of diabolism? Don't get me wrong, diabolism and murder due to hatred, envy and malice exists everywhere in Africa, but have you asked yourself why whenever it comes to political power, only among Igbos do you see an Igbo running a campaign of calumny against another Igbo who is popular enough to win?

We all saw Buhari flounder, bumble and falter due to incompetence, but we never saw a notable opposition to him from the northerners in 8 years. We are currently seeing Tinubu's disastrous 4 years, yet even some Yoruba will tell you it's preferable that they all be kidnapped and murdered by Fulani militia than for Tinubu to lose his reelection bid.

Something is truly wrong with the Ndigboooo.

Shhhhhh....you are not supposed to talk about this even though we all know it to be true. When they had opportunity to be senate president during Obasanjo's time, in 4 years, 5 of them occupied that seat. They are constantly backstabbing themselves. This was the same seat David Mark later held for 8 years and no one could cough.
They may very well have won the civil war but internal sabotage was the reason why Gowon won. But that's not something we want to talk about right now.

All those Igbos fighting Igbos during election phase are just political sabotage.

I'm highly disappointed at Okonkwo for the fukry he's displaying.

I won't that desperation, but a paid self to destroy or distract events.

It’s unlikely he’s blindly sending a message to the intellectual people of the Yoruba land?😮

Yet, the Southeast is the only region that votes one-way like a herd while every other region split their votes among different parties as a measure of security. This has only ensured that they cannot become shareholders in the political party that ends up winning because they put all their political eggs in one basket while vilifying other persons from their region that takes a separate stance. What's wrong in giving all the major parties substantial votes in order to reduce your risk? Afterall, giving 100% of your votes to a single individual will still not make him president unless the votes are merged with those from other regions. This herd mentality was what cost the region the senate presidency in 2015 when Ngige was voted out for aligning with the APC.

Most of these Igbo politicians know each other more than the masses know them, they also know Igbos don't necessarily need presidency to succeed anywhere in the country. Obi will continue to have "enemies" because he lied that he would never leave APGA but he was quick to move to Pdp for his own interest.

That tweets from an Igbo man cosplaying a Yoruba person. It's a well known account on Twitter.

An you as a person have NEVER lied abi? So why do you all hold Obi on a higher pedestal that your crooked everyday politicians and tribesmen? So Tinubu never lied and Buhari never lied?

So we shouldn't hold Obi on a higher pedestal.

But we should vote for him....

Hmmmm...

So, you don't hold Obi on a higher pedestal...

But you want us to vote for him.....

Wonderful.

Bros, don’t follow his deceptive narrative! Who did Peter Obi ‘lie’ to and what did he stand to benefit by ‘lying’!? A explanation of how and why he moved to PDP from APGA would not support that misleading assertion!

Average Igbo is not as zealous SE local politics as much as they want Obi.

Infact Op, youre the best example of Igbos don’t whatever themselves. You wanted to make a narration, but you had to still tell lies… Knowing for sure that by telling lies, people will drag your tribe..

As regarding your point, nobody attacked Buhari or Tinubu cuz their supporters weren’t attacking people randomly. According to the Keneth dude, he stated he was on his own before you guys started attacking him. So, what do you want him to do? Keep quiet or pray for you guys?

You guys did the same thing to Reno. But as you can see now, ever since you people stopped attacking Reno, he has also stopped attacking you guys. That’s how it is..

You can’t walk around fire and be expecting not to sweat..

All of them in civil service are complaining bitterly everyday against tilumbu. I will vote him again to deal with them.
Re: When They Say Igbo Don't Love Themselves, This Is What They Mean by Skullminers1: 8:38pm On Jun 11
OP you mean the same way most prominent Afeniferes especially their late leader Adebanjo was consistent campaigning against Bola Tinubu and even said unprintable things against him till his dead while he keep supporting Peter Obi.

Also what about Olusegun Obasanjo who have been campaigning against Bola Tinubu while supporting Peter Obi.

I can go on and on in mentioning prominent Yorubas that hate Bola Tinubu like Deji Adeyanju or even the present governor of Oyo Seyi Makinde

No, it rather shows that Igbo are a people with clarity and not crabs that lack direction. It shows a people who always have the presence of mind to know a good product instead of dilly-dallying because they need crumbs. Igbo are the only ethnic group capable of making the right calls in terms of knowing a capable hand and a charlatan,

Just look through all the candidates that Igbo have rejected since 1999 (Buhari and Tinubu) and understand what I mean. An Igbo is a person who has clarity, if Nigerians were as astute as Igbo, this country wouldn't have floundering and bloundering individuals as presidents. But then, it is what it is - 10,000 fools can make a political party and where there of 10 million of them, they could even vote in fellow fools to rule over the few wise in the country.

Okay, is Ngige worse than Akpabio who currently occupies the seat? Kindly explain to me why the Igbos voted Orji Uzor Kalu twice, Theodore Orji twice and Okezi Ikpeazu twice and kept rejecting Alex Otti who contested in several other platforms including the APC until he happened to be in the same party with Obi and got elected via the wave. Was it really about the individual or the party and the herd mentality?

Funny you. If they told you Igbo "voted" Orji Uzo Kalu twice and you believe it, you dont really know Ndiigbo. Even in his first (s)election, he declared somewhere in Abia that they didn't vote him. You saying Igbos voted Orji Uzor twice would mean you think Igbo have your typical Nigerian mindset - no we don't. We know good products and I assure you that many so-called Nigerian elections are farcical representation of the rot in the country.

Maybe Igbo voted the current APC governor of Imo state too. No governor of Abia was truly voted by Igbo because Igbo reason alike. Even Alex Otti wouldn't have won if a true Igbo woman hadn't stood against the rot called (s)election in Nigeria.

As a side not, if Nigerians reason like Igbo, no Fulani would get near Aso Rock, at least until the ongoing Christian and native genocide stops, but it is what it is, you cannot reason as the Igbo if you're not Igbo.

The one who's username is Igbophobia proudly declares that Igbos will never vote for Fulanis. What then is Obi doing with a Fulani Kwankwaso? Why do you need Fulani votes then? Unfortunately for you, the Fulanis, including Kwankwaso himself, are smarter than Obi and the rest of you. You all can't even determine who governs you in your states and you want to determine for the rest of Nigeria? Fulanis and the Yorubas are outrigging you in your states and installing their stooges to govern you.

Am yoruba first and a nigerian after but I have no needs or inclinations or desires to cogitate like an igbo man.

Good you now acknowledge that Igbo don't vote nonsense and that left for the Igbo, Nigeria won't be the cesspit you have turned it into. You think everyone doesn't know Obi won in 2023 and that as usual you guys RIGGED him out in your unholy alliance? Has rigging him out stopped the killing and kidnapping of Yoruba by una? Who is the loser? Definitely not Igbo because Igbo are survivors. Before the tribe would experience the sort of wretchedness and poverty collectively beseiging you lot, you should know how far it has affected you collectivelysmiley
