Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has started a battle of sorts without realizing it. You see he wrote an article titled: PMB’s health: Gloating is of no value published in Premium Times. A friend and colleague who had been so disturbed by the same hateful messages that Mr. Adesina referred to in his article shared the link in WhatsApp groups we manage and to his utter shock still got people that said President Buhari that we have now is actually ‘a clone’. Yes, some people suggested this. My friend being a passionate person felt he needed to leave a group he is an administrator of just because of this. But that is not my style, I responded to these people with the following:

I am afraid at the degree of propaganda, ignorance and hate that young people from Eastern Nigeria in particular are feeding themselves with. If there is a major criticism I have of this government, it is that it is not doing enough to counter it.

It is all over social media and conventional media. There is hardly any Nigerian that lives in a city that does not have Igbo friends that they respect, probably admire and learn from.

However, if a large enough number of people that claim to be Igbo especially the youth insist on being obnoxious and offensive to the point of odioum, you risk compounding whatever problems you think you have in Nigeria.

Let me guess, you say: ‘give us Biafra’. Please, the Anambra man does not love the Abia or Imo man. Most of you want to treat Ebonyi people with scorn. Your problem is not a lack of Biafra or being in Nigeria, it is a lack of good social etiquette, political acumen and unwillingness to cooperate with others.

There are many Igbo people fed-up with this kind of behaviour of some of their kinsmen but they are afraid of being attacked by a blind set of marauders feeding on hate.

It is time Igbo people with enlightenment, elegance and distinction takeover the discussion on the progress and future of the Igbo. What we have right now are Charlatans and inept thinkers.

I don't believe in stereotypes and i don't engage in tribal slurs in the internet, what i observed is what i reported. A lot of young non eastern Nigerians perceive igbos in social media are insultive and rude, especially when the issue of Biafra comes up. My personal observation

kingzizzy:
Absolute nonsense. But lets assume that it is true that Anambra does not like Abia or Imo or Imo does not like Ebonyi. Who made it that way? Isnt it Nigeria that divided Igbos into Imo, Anambra etc? Nigeria has caused so much division in Igbo land and thats one of the reasons Biafra will be good, there will be no states in Biafra

maclatunji:
Nope, you should thank Nigeria for even allowing you to know yourselves. You were living in hamlets, villages before colonization. This is a fact, you call it autonomous communities I guess.

kropotkin2:
This is true. Just go through the majority of social media sites and you will see most of the hate speech that goes on there comes mainly from people of south eastern origin. This is particularly dangerous as it is influencing the opinions of a lot of young Nigerians towards the Igbos in a negative way.

1Rebel:
I sincerely love the replies by MaziOmenuko, Ngozi123 and the rest. Keep telling these divisive hateful lot, Igbo bu ofu.

Jetleeee:
All these guys just like to dey make Yorubas soft targets. They will never create thread about SW states or Yoruba. It's always Igbo, Biafra nonsense

And it's not like they can defend themselves.

cheruv:
By the way what concerns non Igbos with Biāfra Everybody wants to have an opinion on Igbos... Even people who don't know the road to agbor
Nigerians should forget about Igbos and focus on their problems... After all its not Igbos who put them in their current predicament

Curlieweed:
You Mohammedans are always crying about how other people do not show proper reverence to your "religion" but you can never pass up an opportunity to insult other religions. In my religion, we revere our ancestors. Yet, you're here insulting my ancestors but when I insult that fake, camel fccking, pedophile, homicidal maniac you claim was a prophet, you'll start complaining.

This is exactly what happens when you scramble your own brain by dashing your head on the floor 5 times everyday. Abeg keep to your lane.

kropotkin2:
When it comes to Biafra, it concerns every single Nigerian because Biafra means the end of Nigeria. This is the reason why we oppose it and can never let it see the light of day. As for all other issues that have implications solely on the igbo tribe, you're right in saying its none of my business. But Biafra is my business

Afam4eva:
Give it up already. Someone like you should not be writing epistles such as these because you're hate personified yourself. Just because you were made the moderator of the Islamic section of Nairaland, you banned everyone and anyone that says anything that is not in unison with your thoughts and you have the effrontery to travel this road of self righteousness. I say to you, SHUT UP.

kingzizzy:
Thank Nigeria? For what? Nigeria is a colonial fruad imposed on us all by the white man. This colonial fraud must end and the indigenous people of the land must reclaim their stolen sovereignty

DocHMD:
Anambra man hate Abia bla bla bla...

Does nigeria love themselves, are yorubas and hausa not killing themselves in Ife, Are hausas not killing southerners?

How many Efik have killed Igbos, How many Imo have killed Abia. Anytime these cognitively paralyzed muslim anti-Biafrans give this 'hollow excuse as a pre-cursor to the future failure of Biafra', they are amazingly oblivous of how daft and moronic they sound.

Thugcheetahh and Afonjaheadhunt do you concur with your yoruba muslim brother?

Yup, deal with it. You obviously still suffer from the impediments you had from the past.

#LOL

Afam4eva:
Lol You must be kidding yourself. The moment i saw you for who you were, i took off. Even Seun knows you to be an islamic fundamentalist. I won't be surprised if you've already started throwing bombs.

Strawman tactics do not address the point Afam.

Abagworo:
I've stopped keeping such low thinkers as friends. Can you imagine someone almost fought me because I told him Buhari was alive and would soon come back. That was at the peak of their lies that he was dead and celebrating during his health retreat in London. Igbos are generally a brainy breed but somehow the radio biagra thing has destroyed the thinking faculty of a sizeable population.
