A CLARION CALL FOR US (IGBOS) TO RESTORE OUR IMAGE:

There is a dangerous trend I have noticed in this country and I wish to appeal to all well meaning Igbo people all over the world to stand up and help to restore our image as a region. Each time I listen to Radio programs or read comments on Facebook, Twitter etc, I notice that people who appear to be defending corruption these days are mostly people from our region. We are good people and highly industrious. We were trained with high moral values, and we're taught to always conduct ourselves in ethical and professional manner. Therefore, my heart bleeds each time I see my people openly defending corruption thereby giving us bad image in the country.

Abacha's son and some of the people who served under him were incarcerated for many years, I didn't see any Northerner shout witch-hunt.... I can bet you, if IBB, Atiku etc are arrested today, no Hausa person will protest. Dasuki has been held for some months now, no northerner has openly come out to protest. Over 100 members of the Shiite group were killed last month by the Nigerian military, till date I've not heard the Hausas shouting "witch-hunt"

When OBJ was president, the people that criticized him the most were the Yorubas. He openly disgraced Tafa Balogun and some other prominent Yorubas for corruption and no yoruba person made any noise. Bode George was jailed some years ago and no Yoruba person shouted witch-hunt.... I can go on and on and on..... even recently Olu Falae was fingered in the arms deal scandal, and the Yorubas have not spared him.

But anytime GEJ's name is mentioned for the way he mismanaged our economy, my people will jump out in his defense.... when did we loose our sense of morality to this extent When did we go this low as a people Are we now proud of evil All over the world, people are held to account for their stewardship when they leave office. Because if there are no consequences for corruption then the whole world will be like a zoo. Sadly, in Nigeria we are shamelessly supporting evil and making excuse for corrupt people. People who say don't talk about GEJ or dont blame GEJ seem not to understand the dangerous path they are taking our country to. This is the first time this is happening in the history of Nigeria.... PMB can also decide to loot our treasury and go and if we protest, the northerners will say he is past we should focus on the future.... the next president will also come and loot and go and this evil trend will continue till the country will finally collapse right before us.

I know that so many people will attack me for this post, but let it be on record that I spoke out at a time like this when some people are giving our region bad image. There are times when silence is not golden. Evil thrive when good people keep silence. We are good people and we must arise to salvage our image and restore National and international trust. Nigeria is bigger than GEJ or PMB. Nigeria should be more important to us than PDP or APC. It's not compulsory for everybody in the country to support the president or party in power, but it's important to criticize objectively. Be a catalyst, not an enemy of state.

God in His infinite wisdom inspired some people to write the Bible, He didn't ask them to write about leaders who succeeded alone, He also inspired them to write about the Rulers who failed, so that we can learn from them. All over the world leaders are remembered for good or for bad. Mahatma Ghandi, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Nelson Mandela, Olusegun Obasanjo, Bill Clinton, Abacha, Martin Luther King, IBB, Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin etc have all lived and some are dead but they are all still being remembered for their successes and failures.. this is why it's important to always utilize your opportunities very well so that you will be remembered for good after you exit from office/earth. GEJ failed and he will always be on the wrong side of history (just like all our past rulers in Nigeria) so no one should tell me not to talk about him anymore, because there is no future if you don't properly analyze the past and learn from it.

When a child falls down, he stands up and continue running, but when an adult falls down, he will look back and understand what made him fall and address it before taking any step further. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Let's not forget that the world is not destroyed by those who do evil, rather the world is destroyed by those who support evil....

Selah!!!!!

ok

I do not regret an iota about the killing of Ironsi because of his idiotic view on the cesspit called Nigeria. The author of the above trash sounded and had mirror image of Ironsi. I say go to hell with your idiotic Nigeria as a country.

Everybody in the East rain down hell on T.A Orji and to some extend Rochas was not left out. Those protesters are rented lol and no one is defending Metuh.. Rules of law and the justice system should be obeyed by everyone, including the president.

you are so on point op..... never knew we still have someone of ur calibre on Nairaland.... I still believe in one Nigeria and I see no reason to spare anyone guilty just because they belong to a tribe or clan

ok o

we are not against the govt remanding them, what we are against is the unlawful way they go about it

All those people protesting and shouting do not really represent the minds of the igbo nation. Take a look at the states leading in the IPOD protest, those states have the highest number of unemployed youths in the region. These guys are rented to cause havoc and destruction.

Living4christ:

I'm gonna preface my question to prevent any unnecessary vitriol. I'm not saying they are handling the process correctly but since I'm not a barrister what are they doing wrong and how can they do it right? Once again this isn't a spiteful retort. I'm just on NL trying to get some uncut facts. 'Preciate it in advance.

Igbos and corruption!!! That is why i only saw Igbos defending Fashola for designing website for N78million and building boreholes for N139million!!! I only saw Igbos defending Tinubu after looting lagos dry!! Only Igbos would defend a misfot like Aregbesola who embezzled state funds with his son Kabiru while civil servants while away in penury.

What image did you loose? Who said Abacha was not a thief?

Are u serious? Igbos are supporting all these people? So interesting.

What Nigerians and FG does is that they pass judgement even before court hearing, why must they treat a suspect as a guilty person even before declared guilty, let the court pass found jugdement with facts and proof, not on FG's Directive.

**grins** Is there any Igbo man who doesn't castigate thieving TA orji while yorubas protect their criminal like thiefnubuuu? **grins**

APC wants Igbos to join them in "trial by media"

They want Igbos to join them in "Guilty before proven guilty"

We Igbos will not join that mob mentality, we Igbos shall stand by "Innocent until proven guilty"

APC can charge who ever they want to court but if they are expecting Igbos to join them in the flouting of court judgements, desecration of the constitution and supporting Buharis tyrannical tendencies then count Igbos out!

Dendemorron when are you going back to that cesspit called Nigeria?

Rich4god:

name the states pls. Tell me how they are suffering worse unemployment in nigeria. Which states are better off

raumdeuter:


Dendemorron when are you going back to that cesspit called Nigeria?

Dayolodo, I have refused to return to the cesspit. I left the shore of the cesspit in good condition only return to it in worse than good condition.

Duru1:


Dayolodo, I have refused to return to the cesspit. I left the shore of the cesspit in good condition only return to it in worse than good condition.

Why have you refused to return my good friend? Are you a coward? IPOB youths are waiting for you to come and lead them

.....kudo to you Ugo Chikezie. I respect your, charity begin at home, you come from a better home. atimes I always confused how nigeran youth got to this level, how wicked this people, who plunge you into surfrance! and you give them support!

coolzeal:

HERO (HIS EXCELLENCY ROCHAS OKOROCHA) was and is still attacked for being against Jonathan. He is about one of the few Igbo leaders that stand out in the belief of Nigeria.

Metuh deserves to be hanged just like Dasuki and Kanu. If Tompolo is proven to be behind the bombing of pipelines then he joins the queue. Nigeria is bigger than every soul in this country.

Remove Kanu from that list before Ahanjoku tear u apart, akpa gworo, respect yourself.

OP is a yoruba man. If you can't tell this by now, then you have a long way to go in psychology.

God Bless You, Op!
