Please read this masterpiece by Mcginger Ibineme.

Enugu State. My state. My home. Igboland. My fatherland. It was Peter Obi who buried APC in Igboland when he claimed that Fashola deported Igbos. He went on air, sensationalized it. Good job. Igbo youths lapped on it. Jonathan and PDP were all smiles and Obi was hailed for a job well done. He quickly joined the party on leaving office as was planned out. APGA, the alleged Igbo party was dumped and left to crumble. Ojukwu had died. The new Igbo party was PDP. The plan was going well. Jonathan would win election and our brothers would continue chopping on our behalf. The Grand plan was for 2017. Oil blocks allocations would expire in 2017 and there would be fresh allocations. Boys were positioning themselves for the greatest cake. Dasuki released 500M to Jim for igbo elders. They did a perfect job. In churches Buhari was branded antichrist and antichristians whose ambitions were to islamize the east and persecute Christians. Prayer points were raised and brethren fasted against his emergence . Jonathan was sent by God and only his emergence would save the church. Brethren spoke in tongue and prophesied. Anyone who ever prophesied anything contrary to Jonathan winning was branded antichrist and anti Igbo. Jonathan was igbo, our brother. Ndi Hausa hate us so much. Buhari wrote Ohaneze severally to pay them a visit. No one as much as acknowledged his letter not to talk of inviting him. What's the point? Our son is running and he's gonna win anyways. APC was outcast and taboo in the land. At the election the elders dutifully allocated 500,000 votes to Jonathan, maybe at 1000naira per vote. And 15,000 votes to Buhari. This was igbo project remember. By 2017 igbo sons would own oil blocks on our behalf. All seemed to be going well. Except that men without ears didn't think that God had the final say. Suddenly, like the great titanic, everything went wrong! Our brother didn't win after all! Wow. What next? They started shouting persecution. Ana emegbu ndi igbo. Can't y'all see his appointment? I told you! We need Biafra! We never really wanted Nigeria. We only managed to take part in the election. We want Biafra! Our brothers in the niger delter will join us and we will get Biafra. Let's just own all the oil blocks at once. Again things didn't go as expected. Wike first threw the first stone. He warned against any Biafra rubbish. One after the other, our so called brothers, denied us again. They ain't part of any Biafra business. Wow. I thought we fought for this people? We gave Jonathan our all. We actually threw away igbo ambitions for these people? Wow. This is happening again. They did it in old Biafra. Now again. Na wao. What next? And buhari is arresting people up and down. Nwobodo has been named. Who next? Uche Ekwunife has been sacked at the court. Na wao. Wahala de o. Uche, with the endorsement of Peter Obi, that same Peter has finally joined that same APC, the anti Igbo Islamic party. She has to go back to Senate. Tony Nwoye is set to join. But that's not the main gist. Our father, Senator Jim Nwobo, first executive governor of old Anambra state, the godfather of enugu state, founding member and hthe biggest chieftain of PDP, a member of the yam eating Dasuki committee of eminent Nigerians, yesterday, in company of another former enugu Senator, walked into stakeholders meeting of the APC in Enugu and declared loyalty. He has joined the "Islamic" party. Finally. Who's the fool here? Igbo youths! Y'all put your businesses on the line. You were ready to go to war in lagos. You risked your families and livelihood for these men. They lied to you and you believed them. They now use you the way northern elders use their youths. They call you out at will and endanger your lives. They tell you it's because of the igbo. Did they do our roads? Nope. Did they provide infrastructure? Did they create more jobs to employ our teeming qualified graduates? Did they improve our schools? They did nothing. They don't have our interests at heart. It's always all about their pockets. As old as elder Jim is, he still decamps up and down. Men without ears, men without shame. Yet we defend them. We protect them with our lives. Why brothers, why. See the western youths calling out almighty Olu Falae. See the northern youths calling out the princely Dasuki. But we? No way! These men are eating on our behalf, we must attack anyone who calls their name. In fact, we shall adopt any other accused person as ours and defend him no matter how he insulted the igbo in the past. FFK is now our son. Who done this to us? Are we cursed or are we the cause? I repeat, the real enemies of Igboland are our political leaders at present. Let us sack the enemies at home. We igbos are blessed with intellectuals, why do we let charlatans lead us? 2019 is around the corner. Now is the time to start. My name is mcginger ibeneme, I just wanna bare my mind.-

Discerning to only the wise!!!

Only the truthful at heart will speak the truth. well done Op. I'm from the South and most times when I look at how backward the region is, despite the allocation from the FG and also the CSR package from most of these IOCs to their host communities, I weep, not because another region placed us in that predicament but because the very same people, whom we share the same language and culture with, did. And so, on behalf of my corrupt leaders, I take responsibility for the backwardness of my region, most especially the host communities.

I mean what better feeling could there be, than bringing your people out of poverty and making them the envy of the world, what? But No, they'd rather stuff the money in far away countries and present themselves as gods, kings and queens to be worshiped and adored, annoyingly they're worshiped and adored by the very same people who should stone them to death.

Which false claim? was it a lie? leave ndigbo alone and free peter obi. we are not begging anybody. If u dont believe in d igbo spirit, feel free to relocate to d nut and waste. I promise, you wont be missed.

lnsightful.

Lengthy but quite a nice read

just here to read the comments, no idea what the thread is about but I saw FFK's name there, he's been trending lately, what happened?

This is truly an intelligent fellow! And the words are for the wise....every time i hear biafra, i just shake my head in shame and disgust. its like my igbo brothers almost enjoy being used

Op, you must be a very foolish man to believe that the average igbo man gives a flying f**k about these men you talk about.
Jim Nwobodo Nwa?

Till date it still amuse me how majority of we Igbos were deceived. I still remember warning my colleagues then that Buhari will win that election and then Igbos will lose. All they were shouting was power of incumbency. For the 5yrs of Jonathan regime, can someone show me what tangible thing he did for the Igbos apart from the appointments of igbo criminals called politicians. I would have supported biafra if we were not sectional about it and we were not only bringing it up whenever the political atmosphere does not Favour our political criminals. I pity our gullible youths believing in biafra cos biafra can never be actualised. It will only bring death to them.

@op leave Ndi Ala alone to be wallowing in thier folly, I told them but they won't listen and they labelled me anti-igbo and pro buhari. In time when their eyes will clear they will understand who the real igbo enemies are,they will know it's not Rochas and Co but Mr Peter Obi and all pro Jonathan Igbo elements who saw nothing bad in our dilapidated infrastructures throughout Jonathan's tenure,but by that time it will be too late to cry.

In all honesty,OP made a lot of sense in this article...An excellent read this is..




Lalasticlala Pls coman drive this thread to the promised Land..

Ok

@Mbuhari and @ApcNigeria are Cowards, they can't take criticism, they block me on twitter so they can see Zombies comment alone. #Coward.

From all indications, what single thing is your Buhari going to do in Igboland? Nothing! Continue in your delusion. We voted for Jonathan and we have no regrets. My only regret is that Jonathan allowed Buhari and his forces of evil to outmuscle him in the elections.

Common sense is a luxury in the land of gully erosion.

OP you are part of the very few that are blessed with it.

A LADY LIKE YOU? THE GUY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU 100% YOU ARE NOT ENTITLE TO ANYTHING IN IGBO LAND AS LONG AS YOU A WOMAN HOPE YOU KNOW THAT?

Well said and well spoken. At least some people have critical reasoning abilities. It is shocking how people can hold on to and condone corruption, ethnicity and tribalism. If we continue this tribal styled politics, the country will continue to remain backward. No matter what mansions, roads and bridges we build, it will serve no goo purpose if we keep hating each other.

No man, tribal or ethnic group can succeed with hatred in their heart. Especially when the hatred that stops them from critically and objectively look at problems and seek strategies for a favorable and long lasting solution.

I recall when the Ijaws complained and fought against marginalization, we wanted 13 per cent derivation, NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta., etc. Our militants took to arms. At the end what did we realize? The same people (Militants, Politicians e.g. ministers, governors,senators etc) made billions out of militancy and politics . They would not even invest a dime in the Niger Delta area. The governors with all the allocations embezzled shocking amounts of money. The militants were finally forced into the hands of the Nigerian government in the guise of amnesty.

We keep fighting ourselves online, killing ourselves in the streets. Like Nigerians will ask ''Who e help''?

I will not defend a thief from my family just because the accusing family has a son who is also a thief. God forbid. May I never degenerate to the extent of supporting such evil.

I don't know if truly you're from the east but every rational thinking Igbo man should meditate on this. Likewise the other tribes. That fellow or tribe you're fighting for what type of life are the leader of the tribe what types of life is he living. Has he contributed any good thing in your life or your clan at large.

Op hit the nail at it head.
Igbo land will keep witnessing the wrath of Nigerians until something unimaginable happens at the federal level. The only survival instinct of Ndi Igbo is their natural ability to withstand any marginalization being thrown to them.
Jonathan did next to nothing to alleviate our basic problems, look at Enugu-Onistha express Road, he couldn't do it for the past 5 years and we still support him 110%.
Now Buhari will finish us infrastructural wise and keep us far way from reality. Lol

The rate at which sponsored campaigns of lies, against Igbo people just because they desire self-determination, is being churned out on Nairaland by psychophants is really alarming. Some persons are definitely jittery for another people's determination.

This should be like the third of same news/campaign created with same content of someone claiming Igbo within the last 24 hours. I am surprised the extra threads have not been closed.

There is nothing absurd for a people to seek to self-determine their future. It is their right. And so the attempts to rubbish this right by employing some persons claiming Igbo is childish and puerile.
You must not claim Igbo to make your point count.

Even if Okorocha (OkoroAwuasa) says same thing you will label him a non Igbo.

BTW, the "zoo" is still standing. What happen?

Is that the reason for the childish desperation on your part?

You should judge Buhari after his 1st tenure. Don't always rush to conclude. That's our problem. We just concluded then that Jonathan will win and what happened? Am not that so much of Buhari advocate or staunch supporter but Buhari is better than Jonathan. That's my point. We have tried Jonathan and have seen no good in him. We are trying Buhari now and keeping our fingers crossed.

I don't want to engage you in any back and forth argument. Buhari is of no good and can never be better than Jonathan. The truth you might not want to accept is that Nigeria will continue on the downward slide. It's not about the leadership, it's about the structure of the country. It is a foundational problem. The country is standing on a faulty foundation. We can continue living in denial and chasing shadows. Things will always get worse from one administration to the next. That's the reality and the truth.

You can continue arguing back and forth. It doesn't change anything. By 2019, we'll still be complaining about the same things we complained about in 1999. From bad roads to electricity, collapse of infrastructure.... Nothing will ever change. The Nigerian system is designed to fail. Until we go back to the round table and genuinely discuss the way forward for our corporate existence. Till then, people will continue to agitate for Biafra, resource control... Some will still be shouting about regionalism and some others true federalism.

Nice one op. I wish my igbo brothers will read without sentiment
