That some people decided to stay alone is now an act of greed?

Lol, try again...

This is not very nice. I am sure Joe Igbokwe is as much an Igbo as you or any other person is. The unnecessary attacks because he seeks to go out of the parochial mindset that many Igbos hold is not helping at all.

Hopefully, genuine Igbo progressives will change the narrative coming out of the Southeast.
You do not sit in the comfort of your house and decide for Igbos on how to go about their collective destiny.

You should know that seeking self-determination is no way a crime. Be rest assured that Igbos are comfortable having a separate existence from Yorubas.

You've got enough Afonjas in your midst who are ever willing to mortgage the future of Yorubas to the Alimis for a pot of porridge. You should therefore channel your advise to your Yoruba folks; they need it the most.

Joe Igbokwe is a well known Quisling of Igboland.

It's an insult to reference Joe Igbokwe on issues relating to Igbos generally.

Joe Igbokwe speaks for Joe Igbokwe, and not in anyway for Igbos of any category.

You are not making any sense. Was Tinubu not a Muslim in 2011 when he supported GEJ against his party candidate? You are talking about karma? Yoruba's have never depended on you lots for anything, not in the history, not now and that time will never come.

Igbo's have never supported a Yoruba candidate

They voted against Awolowo

They voted against Olu Falae

They voted against Gbajabiamila

So, pray, tell, what karma are you talking about? What you never did, we are not expecting you to do it. We dont just suffer from victim mentality like your folks
Since our minds are fixed and static, i dont think this is necessary, so let the topic end here...

I won't even forgive any Igbo that will vote for those tribal bigots you listed up here...

Even sane Yoruba christian won't even vote them...

Meanwhile I can understand the pain that Yoruba's can never produce any president of their choice in this yeye one Nigeria...

If there was any lesson it's to never trust a Yoruba person to keep to his/her words.

All the same channel your energies towards saving your generation from the Afonjas in your midst, and let Igbos go about their quest for nationhood.

Good luck!

Mr Tunji, every tribe in Nigeria display bigotry, this is due to the obvious differences in language, culture and religion. Mr Buhari and Late Amadu Bello are perfect examples of the typical northern bigots.Mr Fashola ,Ambode and a host of NL southwest members are perfect examples of Yoruba tribal bigots.The events and outcome of the first coupe hipped on Igbos is an example too.

It was never an Igbo affair as is being
peddled to find relevance. Now take a
look at the list of the '66 coup plotters
and render your own judgement; 1.
Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu
(Delta Igbo) 2. Major Adewale
Ademoyega (Yoruba) author of "Why we
struck" 3. Capt. G. Adeleke(Yoruba) 4.
Maj. Ifeajuna (Igbo) 5. Lt. Fola Oyewole
(Yoruba) author of "The reluctant rebel"
6. Lt. R. Egbiko(Esean) 7. Lt. Tijani
Katsina(Hausa/ Fulani) 8. Lt. O.
Olafemiyan(Yoruba) 9. Capt. Gibson
Jalo(Bali) 10. Capt. Swanton(Middle
Belt) 11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha
(Urhobo) 12. Lt. Dag Warribor(Ijaw) 13.
2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo(Hausa) 14. 2nd
Lt. John Atom Kpera (Tiv). So, to an
unbiased observer, what evidence can
one provide to show that Igbos actually
carried out the coup in order to
exterminate other tribes.

Igbos want to live in freedom and dignity.
They don't teach history in Nigerian schools.
That's why they keep calling it " Igbo coup" .

Mr Joe igbokwe is a perfect example of an outcast. he off course is from a family with questionable character whose family was chased by the famed vigilante outfit bakassi.He ran to Lagos and embraced ACN and now APC and always attack his people just to fine tone with his southwest bedfellows. Have you seen him with any eastern politian?the answer is no! How long shall he continue to attack his people. Igbos and Yoruba are different and will forever be different because that it is natural. The truth is no matter how Mr Joe igbokw continues to attack his people to please Yoruba's,he can never be loved by Yoruba.
If Joe Igbokwe has never been seen with any easterner Politician what was Ben Ndi Obi(ACN VP Candidate 2007) doing in the same party with him? What about Okorocha?. Man, stop feeding us with lies.

Mr Yoruba, Igbos are a special breed of humans that cannot be sheepishly and blindly led by international acclaimed drug peddlers as national leaders.

The likes of Joe Igbos are not reckoned with in Igboland.
Their senseless rants end in Yorubaland where they are highly needed for treachery.
Re: Why I Agree With Joe Igbokwe On Igbo Attitude by badnature: 4:14pm On Jul 31, 2016
maclatunji:
When Joe Igbokwe wrote an article recently warning his Igbo kinsmen about the degree of hatred, bigotry and lack of objectivity the majority of them are displaying in Nigeria, a lot of them called him names and the sizeable minority that probably agree with him kept quiet.

Reviewing the comments of Igbos on social media and beyond shows the same traits that Igbokwe complained about. It is these same traits that led Nnamdi Kanu into the net of Nigeria's security agencies despite the fact that he was openly committing treasonable acts with Radio Biafra and the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB). He arrogantly believed he could enter Nigeria without detection.

Many Biafra agitators are under the illusion that they can effectively undermine the Nigerian state to their advantage but the truth is if the Nigerian state were to truly exert its power over them, they would suffer heavy human and material losses.

Igbos are known for their spirit of adventure, business acumen and industry. These qualities serve them better within Nigeria rather than embarking on a destructive quest for Biafra that is largely politically motivated rather than by any pressing need. The Southeast region will benefit more from objective and constructive participation in building Nigeria.

While there are many ethnic groups complaining of marginalization and underdevelopment, I daresay none is as based on mere hatred and bigotry as those of the Biafra agitators. They cannot complain of being starved of federal government resources or environmental degradation which their NigerDelta neighbours readily point to. Therefore, their agitation is largely selfish and not based on any genuine pressing need and as such does not have to lead to destruction and loss of life on a large scale in the Southeast before it is jettisoned and rejected.
why can't you support their exit (biafra) so that u will have time to leave with the people that love you for the rest of your lifehuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh?

The Indonesia drug list of offenders is inconsequential to Nigeria polity.
These are the lists you should rather concern yourself with - the compendium of your criminal brothers who ruined this country:

Obasanjo served all his tenure with full support of both the SS and the SE.

But when is turn for a SS man to get the full support of their southern sisters, Yorubas betrayed the south and sided with north just BC they promised them vp slot.

Buhari choosed an Igbo man as vp during his first and second contest yet the Igbo's didn't let that to misled them. as even the blind eyes can see the nusiance buhari is...

What happened when buhari decided to look towards the west. They immediately switched boat... That's stupid and irrational.
The hatred consuming you people has led to full irrationality. Was Obassnjo presented to you by SW politicians or by your northern masters? Did you ever vote for the Yoruba candidate anytime in history? Even the June 12 election, igbo votes was cleared by a northerner did Yoruba cared or cried you betrayed them? It was your choice.

At what time did Yoruba ask for your support to vote for Obasanjo? Why did GEJ clear the votes in Yorubaland in 2011 even though a Yoruba man was the VP candidate in the next biggest opposition? What changed in the four years to swing the votes?
Sorry should have known rational thinking is beyond the pay grade of you and your folks

If not that you are one of the Nairalanders I respect, I would have insulted the hell out of you.... Mod or no Mod. Not even God has power over me not to talk of a moderator on Nairaland. Check my ban history. I have even been banned 6 months in Nairaland... I came back from the ban more bittered than ever... It can never change my views about the Nigerian state.

By the way to your thread... Joe Igbokwe is irrelevant in the scheme of things in Igboland. We careless about his intentions. I will never insult Hoe Igboekweghi because he did no bad to me. Hoe Igbokwe speaks for himself alone!!

Personally I dont hate Yorubas. I even like them... All things you see posted on Nairaland is just for fun.

But bro, I dont want to share a country with either the Yorubas or Hausas or any other tribe... Its just as simple as that! I want my children to be free... Just like we were before the colonial masters came!! I will raise all my children to hate Nigeria as much as they can.

Which Selfish reasons are you talking about? Oil? The Niger Delta should form their own republic by the way!!! Its not my business. All I want is a free Igbo state... A land blessed by God to be nurtured to greatness. Expecting the Igbos to work hard for the greatness of Nigeria is like expecting a Mango tree to bear Paw Paw... Stop wasting your time. I gat no love for Nigeria.. Stop counting the Igbos in anything Nigeria. Nothing changed that.. Not in a million years to come!!

What are Millions of Igbos scattered all over Asia, Europe, Africa and North America doing there?

Does it mean we want to share a nation with the entire countries we reside in?

The average Igbo man doesn't want to share a country with Arewa-Odua people, this was why we left Arewa-Oduanistan for you in 1967 and migrated back to the East.

The sentiment and feelings of the average Igbo man towards sharing a country with Arewa-Odua will never change, even in million years to come, you can sample the average Igbo man opinion towards this by visiting many Igbo facebook pages and listen to the young Igbos there.
Good one paz. Just open a thread asking why these yorubas want to live with people they hate. Some will run away from that thread, some will go deaf and dumb, Some will shout 'we support you guys to go with your wahala' but still fight against Biafra.
Being politically confused is one of yoruba hallmarks in politics. All confusion, no principle.

What they afraid of by being alone under their brown roofs is what I don't understand. Funny lots! cheesy grin
