A quote


So this truly happened. I keep saying that the average Igbo is not in anyway different from the Muslim fanatics in the North (those one calls those against their religion Infidels the way the Easterners calls the muslims anti-Christ) when it comes to issues of religion hatred for the opposite religion.

Religion dogmatism is highly prevalent in the Core North and SE, thus there is no way these two people can have peaceful co-existence

You are very intelligent. Brain and Beauty. Well said, rightly put.

They both operate from two polar ends. Two parallel lines that can never meet. The only melting point is the SW where a Muslim father can have a Christian son and daughters..

Equally the yorubas should know that it will be mission impossible to ever get the vote Abiola was able to gather from the SE/SS in June 12 1993.

Fashola and Ambode did not just kill APC in SS/SE but yoruba chance of winning votes in SS/SE ever again.

If only they wud realise it. GEJ blinded many Ibos to rational reasoning...

Stop deceiving yourself...

If there is anybody suffering from all the gamut of blindness from presbyopia (long-sightedness) to glaucoma and myopia (short-sightedness), that person is you.

APC had an opportunity to deal PDP a mortal blow in Igboland after Buhari won the election. But we all know what happened giving the antecedents of APC leaders like Buhari and Tinubu as sworn anti-Igbo elements.

It was not the PDP that asked Buhari to flagrantly undermine the South East in the national scheme of things vis-a-vis this current administration.

Just like I said, you can continue deluding yourself but be rest assured that they Igbos are no fools.

peak115:
Must igbos be part of APC? I don't understand your anger or propaganda. APC will not rule nigeria forever. What the igbos just need is to be more organized. As far as am concern there are bad people in APC and there are also bad people in PDP. PDP or whatever party must leaarn to be in opposition. A better nigeria need a ruling party and an opposition party. That is the way it is in any democratic setting

I agree with this, though I must say that most of the people with any credibility have left the PDP and it's largely a party of riff rafs and mediocre minds. PDP have very few credible people left in their ranks.

uchennamani:
This piece is just wonderful. Powerful, educating, and straight to the points. Even if Buhari wants to marginalize the Igbos, the federal character principle won't let him. And he is not even doing that, and he won't do it because the president is one of detribalized Nigerians ever. I pity the naive and gullible igbos, I pity my brothers and sisters that have become victims in this carefully and calculated scam this Nnamdi Kanu orchestrated. There is no marginalization of any tribe in this country. If any exists, it is that of the political elites against the poor masses in this country. Wake up Ndi Igbo!

OH PLZ.. SHUT UP!!!!! WHO SAID IGBOS R NOT ASET ASIDE.. ALL WE HV IN D EAST IS ALL BY OUR EFFORTS....NO FG PRENSENCE... JUST STOP PLAYN LIK U R SMART

God bless you bros... Well said!

Reyginus:
I can't really remember or know any church that preached against the person of Buhari. Op, you should provide one so we can verify. But I can say that Mosques, in the afternoon, preached against electing the infidel, Jonathan. I can tell you about three mosques in the north. And both Jonathan and Buhari are not fit or have the intelligence to rule us.

Yes, Peter Obi, using that strategy won hearts but he used it to grow evil and that's wrong. Fashola on his part too did wrong to deport anybody. The same thing the ignorant and criminal T.A. Orji did in Abia State. Besides, I Peter Obi, doesn't even need to act for the people to react that way. It is a natural human response to rejection.

Now, I don't understand why you refer to Igbo youths as fools of the outcome where SOME Igbo youths made what you think is a mistake. The idea that a fraction of a people determines the intelligence of a people is highly ignorant and so also is the idea that what you don't understand or fail to understand is foolish.

Maybe I shd remind you of that pastor RCCG pastor that made one tape (The Church Distanced Itself from his opinion though). I have attended a vigil and prayer points were called to pray against the emergence of PMB but at the end GOD aways has his way! So like you said "It is a natural human response to rejection".

Long story !

Igbo rejected APC right from it Creation.

Ijaya123:
The major problem of igbos is simply that they are too sentimental.

No... emotional.. effect of civil war...

I don't think people understand what the OP was trying to bring out. It is the exact thing i've always said about the igbo. They should just stop all dis support thingy and try to lead themselves. This is not an APC or PDP thing but for the Igbo to stand up in d Nigeria Political scene and quit shouting marginalisation. I'm Igbo n proud but the truth must be told.

God? Lol. You mean God made us vote for Buhari and is responsible for the other ones we've been voting? Where exactly did you attend this night vigil and the church?

For all the YEARS that GEJ was president you folks held sway and you ddnt remember that there was no FG presence, it is now that we have a a govt of how many months that you remember this....hmmm...smh

Maybe...

Unfortunately when someone is either sentimental or emotional, they are rarely rational.

chuksmad:
The only way APC will get the heart of igbos, is when they put federal infrastructure in Igbo land. I bet you if we see good federal roads in SE by this APC led government, Igbos will appreciate APC than PDP that did not do anything for the masses in SE, just the individual appointments that will not benefit the masses.

On point! Kudos!

That wouldn't be necessary. Why not you try to read yours again and then read mine and tell me what's hidden between the lines.

Who is talking about where he is from? The person I quoted said only mosques preached against GEJ and I told him that....about SWers been religious fanatics...you are on ur own!

Until Apc led administration completes dredgingof river niger n ships starts docking at Onitsha port, Enugu international airport becomes fully operational lik lagos n Abuja int'l aiports, a seaport in akwa ibom.... APC will remaain dead in southeast

I've always watched from the sideline and laugh when biased statement's are made concerning tribal balance in Nigeria. Its ironic that when a group is in opposition, cry of marginalized and secession fills the air. During Jonathan, it was the Hausa/Fulani. Now its the indigbo's under Buhari. The Yoruba elders too joined in at the inception of this administration. The question is why can't we learn from the past? Awolowo/Azikiwe, Awolowo/Akintola, Gowon/Ojukwu. All this issues was based on selfishness and gluttony. Apart from Awolowo that tried to sensitize and education the Yoruba which also is his greatest undoing, all others mentioned just used the youths of their generation and lived well in opulence. The bottom line is the Igbo shall learn to accept their position in Nigeria which they lost through Azikiwe which is supplementary or beautiful bride. The chance they had which was lost continues to fuel their non existent agitation which is also doom to fail. Never allow your politician to brainwash you.

Why are you asking him for the location of the church where he heard that message was aired...when you never bothered to provide a location for the mosques you said were airing the anti-Infidel message?

and FYI, it's an open secret that religion played a role in voting patters in BOTH the North and the South East.

Lol. Aired where? Of course it was used but then trying to paint a picture that's incomplete is not really a way to go about it. Once he admits to know these places we call them out and verify. Mind you, I'm not saying it never happen but that I didn't hear it or see it happen. But since he claims it actually happened I'm simply asking for clarification. You want to know where mine happened?

Son, there is nothing IQ tasking in what you said. You asked for ONE example of churches doin what you said and I gave you ONE (about the RCCG pastor tape that went viral) which you ddnt discountenanced. Isnt that what u asked for? So why u trying to drag me into some theological rigmarole! I bet you wont understand even if I try to explain going by the premise of ur question...so have a nice day!

Lolol. Are we quarrelling? Come on, think about it, how does saying One RCCG pastor fill the equation as the op is claiming? What does 'One RCCG' pastor say? Just like that. One RCCG pastor? Where? In SE?

bakynes:

Fine it is our wish for a strong opposition party like PDP but must you igbos put all your eggs in one basket why can't you be more liberal like the SW, the Middle belt and Edos who vote for both parties and don't attach any ethnic or religious sentiments but vote based on who they think will serve them better. Like Pentium Pro said igbos are no different from the Hausa-Fulani's both of y'all still vote based on religion and tribe.

Fine, my prayer is that when PMB finished his tenure that his VP, our able respected Prof will contest for presidency. Let's see how liberal the south west will be and share their vote across parties. The truth is that they were not liberal during the 2nd republic and also during June 12. So this cut across all section of the country.

but you trusted GEJ without any reason? Smh

We trust GEJ with reason. I'm not saying he ran the best Government imarginable but it was a choice between GEJ or Buhari. As an Igbo man, who did you think I was going to choose?
