For all those calling themselves bmc or tagging themselves Muslim whatever, you are just the full embodiment of what I wrote about.
You are here shouting Referendum up and down, other zones are fighting to make sure they don't get left out in National politics, but you are here shouting referendum this, referendum that...
None of you are more Igbo than other Igbo people, and we are not going to condone your fôolishness this time around.

lastmessenger:
and you think you made sense when you wrote down a long incoherent gibberish to convince the wise men from the East? You get luck say I no de near you.

I wouldnt engage in a discuss with a brainless pig like you to start with. You reek of foolishness, daft and kooky, and you an inconsequential imp with no sense of reasoning.

A LETTER TO MY FELLOW IGBO BRETHREN


Another election period looms near, and once again the politics of sentiment and self-inflicted emotional blackmail is on the ride again.
Here i am again, as was the case in 2015, to reason with my people.
Like seriously, truth be told, what have we as a people gained from playing politics of hatred as of recent at the National Level?
Like why is it so hard for us to see politics as just another business where interest and profit alone should be the basis of our political participation?
I thought the Igbo's are highly regarded as business engines that thrives better at commerce and business anywhere? Is there anyone that does business not to make profit but to satisfy his emotional hatred and justify his sentimental stances?
In 2015, even while everything was clear, even while all the signs were still there, a lot of us still went ahead to make a big political blunder based on hatred.
A new alliance was being formed, a call was made to the whole Nigeria, every other region embraced the call except us and the South-South ( and their interest was right, justifiable and nothing less was expected.). Few saw the new horizon and decided to be part of the alliance, but were seen as either being saboteurs or being silly enough not to be sympathetic with their people and join in the struggle of creating more hatred for our supposed political oppressors.
We have supported PDP for 19 good years now at the National level, and what have we gained from it? Every Election year, same bullshit. Same political miscalculation, same mass bereavement of common interest and common sense. Same religious bullshit.
In same period, every Presidential and Vice-Presidential slot was still allotted to every other Geo-political zone, not us, not even once. One would have thought that such amount of Loyalty was at least worth a VP ticket.
But, now that the Igbo's should at least have a shot at the Presidency should the North finish the perceived eight years (8yrs) rule being allegedly denied them, we have again been shortchanged and bribed away with some stupid VP ticket.
The Southwest has ruled, the Southsouth has ruled. Therefore, if the alleged geopolitical quota system is in play, you can therefore agree with me that the Igbo's have a better shot at the 2023 elections for Presidency than any other Southern geopolitical zone.
Though it is a long shot, but sympathizers will be on our side.

Today, it's very easy for most Igbo people to berate the President, call him whatever suits their emotion at the moment, call him a fundamentalist, a religionist, Sharia advocate, the prophesied person that will Islamize Nigeria, the dullard and whatever ungodly remarks to suit our ego.
We have continued to play the victim card, politics of unjustified bias and always blaming everyone else but ourselves. We continue to hate and hate and hate, to what purpose?
What has our hatred earned for us in the past?
What has our alliance in the past earned for us?
Only a madman does same thing in the same way every time and expect to see a different result.
We had the chance to be part of a new alliance, we failed to take it but went on to lament how we were left out in National politics. It didn't end there, many of us still continuously berated, attacked, cursed and wished ill heavily on the government.
They wished the government to fail woefully, but it never occured to them that if the government fails, nothing will run smoothly.
The economic mess the previous government left that slid the nation into recession was managed and the nation is back again, even rated the best economy in Africa as at the last Forbes rating. This is not to say it was easy or that things are much better. But remember, this was most wailers and haters prayers from our side of the divide. They wanted the economy to crumble because of hatred...And for what? Because We lost!!!

Many hate the president with the air they breathe, but they forget that the same man ran with an Igbo person as his VP in 2007 ( regarded by the EU as the worst election in the world then) before deciding to form an alliance with the South-West (Pastor Tunde Bakare) and then Pastor Yemi Osinbajo, the current Vice-President of Nigeria.
Let's say the man got tired of our antics and decided to be business minded with his fourth presidential ambition. He won, and we are still playing victim.

BUHARI BETWEEN 2003 AND 2015

2003
Olusegun Obasanjo   PDP    24,456,140      61.94%

Muhammadu Buhari  ANPP 12,710,022      32.19 %

2007
Musa Yar‘adua             PDP   24,638,063      69.82 %

Muhammadu Buhari  ANPP 6,605,299        18.72 %

2011
Goodluck Jonathan    PDP     22,495,187      58.89 %

Muhammadu Buhari  CPC    12,214,853      31.98 %

2015
Muhammadu Buhari  APC     15,424,921      53.96%

Goodluck Jonathan    PDP     12,853,162      44.96 %

Of the total 73,944,312 registered voters in Nigeria as of January 2018, the North-West geo-political zone = *18,505,984.*
South-East = *8,293,093* registered voters.
South-West = *14,626,800* registered voters;
South-South = *11,101,093* registered voters.
North-Central = 10,586,965 registered voters.
North-East = 9,929,015 registered voters.

There is no single permutation of the 2019 election in which PDP will win. People can go about deceiving who they want to deceive, but the facts speaks for itself.
One thing the ruling party has going for it is that it was formed by a lot of people from different parties and walks of life. All of them are still there, except for those who whöre around, looking for where the next free bread lands. APC has never had it easy, and will never have it easy. This is something they purely understand, but unfortunately we are still to learn.
So should we hopelessly drown with a sinking ship despite many life-jackets being offered to us by the leading party?
There is rumours of Igbo president in 2023 should we support the APC, but again, the sentimentalists are at it again with their 'never trusting' misconceptions.
In the 19yrs of PDP loyalty, did we get a vp slot not to talk of a Presidential slot?

It's another election period, the calls are going round again.
Let us continue to miscalculate and hate while the rest of the nation seek out means to improve their zones and be fully politically relevant.
We are always seeking for a nonexistent Southern unity, but the SouthWest is APC through and through.
A lot of in roads has been made in the South-South, it's almost as if yet again, the government is not ready for our bouts of yelling and wailing this time around. Take a look above again, we are the zone with the least voting power, yet somehow a lot of people with their twisted minds think business will wait for us.
At least if you are going to wail about being heavily shorted, you should have solid and legitimate reasons to wail. Equity does not help the indolent. Let he who have ear hear.
We can again decide to side with losers and continue wailing for the next four years.
I have said my piece, and you are welcome to hate me. I gave out my last free f*ck in the 2011 elections!!!

Vote APC or not, their policy on Igbo affair will not change. Best is vote Atiku. If Atiku loses, intensify agitation for either inclusiveness or dismemberment of Nigeria.

philfearon:
Equity does not help the indolent.
If someone didn't help you gain something, you only remember them when you are through thanking those who helped you...
People get what they deserve.

This does not in any way mean that any region should be marginalized... But this is life... You rub my back, i rob your back, life goes on.
If you lose, you take it with a pinch of salt!

jomonic:
Indolence can never be a term to describe political choice that people make. But I do not blame you. The Blackman's mindset is still at the stage of primeval man. It is barbaric to marginalize people on infrastructure development, political appointments because of their political choice. It is only a measure of our backwardness. Infrastructure development is done on as need basis. This is the only way it will benefit the entire country. The entire country loses when some sections are deliberately sideline in infrastructure. Population will naturally migrate to other places where government created more opportunities. These cities become naturally overcrowded and choked. Besides the intended target of marginalization may not be the ones suffering after all because in the streets its about efficiency and not what tribe you come from. When I go to fix my vehicle for instance I look for the best mechanic. I don't necessarily look for a mechanic of my ethnic stock. I don't expect you to understand because a dysfunctional society will breed individuals who manifest dysfunctionality in their outlook.

Start removing barriers that stand in our way one by one. APC will kill Biafra if they get another 4yrs. Buhari is a barrier, Osinbajo is a barrier, Tinubu is barrier. Remove APC totally so we can get traction with nationhood. Any other talk is fairytale.

God bless Kanu.

philfearon:
You have not said anything.
In your mind, you are more Igbo than every other Igbo person because they don't buy into your gimmicks of baseless hatred stemming from the fact that you lost.
SouthSouth zone lost too, but you are here crying more than the bereaved.

I understand your point perfectly well... However, seems like you are yet to understand that same thing is applicable the whole world over. Every favour owed or granted must be paid back one way or the other...
The last time i checked, the infrastructural decay and neglect were not necessitated or started by the present government... It was the same government we have been supporting in the past that abandoned, neglected and allowed the massive decay plus the massive neglect.
What have we gained from supporting previous governments?

jomonic:
I beg to disagree. It doesn't happen in the whole world over except in the darkest parts of which Nigeria is on top of the list. In the developed world politicians disagree on strategic issues. Things like tax cuts or reforms, immigration laws, foreign policy, international trade. Elections are run on these issues. They don't win elections and begin to marginalize sections of the population on infrastructure or the useless political appointments. Development of infrastructure is a given because it bothers on livelihood. These only happens in Nigeria and similar countries because unity is lacking and nepotism reigns supreme. It's the very reason why some are agitating for true federalism and some for total dismemberment. To answer you, the present government has done so much on infrastructure development but it only reflects in needless massive borrowing and desktop projects.
