igbos, chest beating since the time of adam and eve. somebody help me out with that picture of the chest beating monkey that says ' i am igbo ' i need that picture lmao

OfoIgbo:
Nnaa, brush up on your history.

Gowon was appointed by Ironsi to come up with the modalities of their trial. This obviously took him some time. So you cannot blame Ironsi.
in fact those copyists were already being interrogated

kettykin:
He doesn't owe biafrans and biafrans don't owe him anything including loyalty as simple as that.

AuntySusan:
Did he just say Igbos can try secession again if they want? What sort of leaders do we have in this country?
I'm not Igbo but statements like this are better off not made. There's a lot of tension in this country right now and it would've bn better if he didn't reply at all than this

I've said it before that if I were a leader, If rather consult my worst critics on certain issues than surround myself with those that always sing my praise no matter what I do. Buhari has made some moves that are clearly wrong by all standards but these sycophants don't seem to see any.

And history will keep repeating itself.smh
Same sycophants that ruined Jonathan's government have defected to APC today

I've tried to stay away from commenting on politics section but I don't think it's right not to lend my small voice to very sensitive issues

If you love this administration, just tell Buhari the truth even when it hurts. If we don't, then you've collectively set him up to fail.

GentleToks:
You and Igbos are the problems of this country when you decided to be quiet about all the atrocities committed by Igbos against other nations within Nigeria. The same Igbos who killed the leaders of other regions in cold blood with their pregnant wives and left all their Igbo active politicians out of this bloody massacre under the pretence of fighting corruption. Did you say anything about that? No

In 2015, why would you kill Buhari(Tafewa Balewa), Governor Oshiomole and Ambode(Okpara) and leave the vice president prof. Osinbajo( Nnamdi Azikiwe) who is an Igbo man and of course Okpara(governor of old eastern region) who was equally an Igbo man? Does that make sense to you?

How do you think others felt? Do you think life is all Igbos?

After this massacre, who became the president? Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi. What did he do as a president? He single handedly destroyed our flourishing regional system of government and imposed unitary system of government over us so as to control other regions. They begged this Igbo man; the west and North begged this man but he refused. Guess what? All the Eastern politicians and Kings were quiet during all this cos he was their son; doing their biddings.


Did you see Aguiyi Ironsi appointments? You ll fall down and die when you see the list filled up with Igbos as if there were not other nationalities in this country except Igbos. You ll see pure tribalism and nepotism at its peak. Northerners would not dare it at that point in time but Igbos broke the jinx.....

What did Aguiyi Ironsi did to his fellow Igbos who were d coupists who carried out the most bloodiest coup in the history of this country? He transferred these massacrists to the East prison against military practice to the shock of the whole world. Do you think others are fools? Do you think others forger history while Igbos remember civil war simply cos they were defeated?

Prior to civil war, Igbos were more active in politics than the Yorubas at federal level and even at regional level with NCNC. Post civil war, Igbos formed another government with the Northerners into early 80s from independence except the period of civil war which lasted for 3yrs.

The same Igbos are disturbing others who didn't have the same privilege with marginalisation rhetoric all the time.

Fast forward to 21st century, which tribe held sway under Obasanjo? Igbos. Pls, check Obasanjo kitchen cabinet and ministerial list.

Finally, check what happened under Jonathan, what happened under Jonathan had only happened under another Igbo man in the history of this country. Where were Igbos as at last administration when the whole tenure was filled to capacity with Igbos. I warned them that this is the time to prove to the Northerners that Igbos stand for equality, justice and fairness but instead, they were celebrating the marginalisation of others forgetting that nothing last forever.

What the Bleep abt d civil war they started....

Nobody owns any igbo man anything. Igbos killed as many Nigerians as they can in that war and Nigeria killed as much as she can as a nation. What is the wailing all about? If you can't fight, then stay off war.

All they need is self appraisal to see that they are their own enemies through "life is all about me but nobody".

Pls, go to their region and see how uncosmopolitan they have turned that region to through tribalism. Go to East and see how accommodating and friendly they are to other nationalities within Nigeria state compare to West and North. The same people who has refused to appoint a single person from other regions into their 5 states cabinets wants to be appointed in other regions of the country. Can you imagine that?

My friend, it's easy peasy for Igbos to leave this country without dropping d blood of their kinsmen if they want to truly leave this country. Let Igbos recall their men from National assembly, pull out all their kinsmen from the West and North to the East. I swear down, the whole world attention would go straight to their agitation for their own region's sovereignty.

OfoIgbo:
You are a northern Christian but fail to see the dangerous political undertones in the country. Didn't you notice how the core north dumped Gowon after they had used him to cover their criminal and genocidal excesses of the war?
Didn't you also notice how they ganged up against another minority man from the south and called him various sorts of names, to intimidate him out of power?

If you do not see that the fight Igbos are currently engaged in, is a just cause, then I fear for your people.
Do you really think Junaid Mohammed is your ally? Do you think he cares one bit about your christian people? So because this injustice was meted out against an Ijaw man, for some reason you have chosen to take the side of a known tribalist? MAKE HAY WHIKE THE SUN SHINES

sukkot:
not that one bros. this one is very funny. it has written on it ' i am igbo ', then the gorilla was chest beating lwkm

Rilwayne001:
I'll like to see it too.

pazienza:
"but Igbos should also
realise that they play a very major
part in the unsavory utterances
directed at them".


This is you trying to exonerate Junaid, after you had pretended to be against him.

Can you explain to me how Ndiigbo played a major role in attracting Junaid Igbophobic utterance, by demanding that Buhari should give us equity by appointing more Igbos in his government?

Explain to me, how you arrived at that comment of yours I quoted.

Tripleclick:
the coup was did by deltan igbo bt d whole igbos acceptd d fate... dnt tell me tomorrow...delta is nt part of igbo...den also u gux counter couped... den nt enuf ...u continued with numerous genocides... tomorow u ask y dia s boko haram

coolbis:
I wish you can go through Dr Jinaid's CV, then you will realise his achievement even outside the shores of this country. If the north is your problem, this is about the best time to live your forefathers' dream. Freedom is not cheap I wonder what you are waiting for.

laudate:
Aunty Susan, why are you taking panadol for this kind of headache? The Igbo people want their own country. It is called Biafra. Did anyone tell you, they are interested in Nigeria?? Haba! Don't turn back the clock for them, oh.

philips70:
Such statements from so called elder statesmen should be condemned by all.


Nevertheless, the Igbos need to do some self retrospect on their political journey and standing in Nigeria. Even if parties decide to zone presidency to the SE today, it is common knowledge we will have a minimum of 1000 candidates plus serious mudslinging, witchhunting, blackmail, kidnaps, killings, PHD and all sorts that will eventually heat up the whole system to the extent of making the parties have a change of plans. The problem of the Igbos in modern day Nigeria can comfortably be said to be internal rather than external. Rant as much as you want but this is just the truth.

Banter1:
but when he did submit what did Ironsi do with it? Nothing.

HopeAtHand:
Igbos did not vote for Buhari, their votes for him were a meagre 8% or less in the last elections.Igbos vehemently campiagned against Buhari, and when Jonathan lost the elections, Igbos rekindled their secessionist agenda, went as far as opening radio stations and spreading hate against other tribes especially Hausa and Yoruba and calling for cleansing of such tribes within Igboland.Igbos through radio biafra launch attacks on the person and govt of Buhari and now these same Igbos are complaining of being marginalised by Buhari..

Im not saying Junaid is right in his utterances but your people are not helping matters.

Did the core North not vote against GEJ in 2011, did Buhari not promise that monkeys and baboons will be soaked in Blood, did BH sponsored by the North pose big problem for GEJ, did the North and their Odua brothers not try to destabilize GEJ government when they all held the country to ransom rioting throughout the streets of Kano and Lagos demanding GEJ reverse fuel subsidy, with some of them suggesting that GEJ should step down, did they continue attacking GEJ government through their Lagos and Ibadan print media propaganda machines and through social media?

Did all that stop GEJ from not giving Arewa-Odua their entitlements, including infrastructures? Did he establish the 5% rule or did he ever tried to warm up to them? Did any Igbo political elite make a similar statement like Junaid towards the North?

Radio Biafra has been on Air since for over four years now, before them MASSOB has been there, the desire of Ndiigbo not to share the same country with Arewa-Odua people has remained constant since 1967, it never changed a bit, saying that Biafra agitation is tied to GEJ loss is a display of historical naivety from you and an insult to all proud Biafrans.

OfoIgbo:
Gowon did not submit anything. The July coup disrupted that. So Ironsi remains blameless
