The scapegoat is often popular. Not for wisdom but for abject foolishness.

now b4 u start quoting all the qoutes you have learnt tell us who is foolish, the igbos or the people ranting

Nigeria is so divided to the extent that even the unborn are feeling it. But my question is" Cant Nigeria allow Biafrans to go" if they are this bad, hated or all negative comments against them holds?

Free the Igbos to go and enjoy Nigeria. When you marry a bad wife, the honest thing to do is to divorce her rather than manage her or kill her. Simple!

Adesina made good and reasonable points about ozekhome's misguided and biased statements, yet some people are so sentimental that despite the fact that they could not defend the failed SAN , they are saying rubbish about APC n PMB, bunch of fools.

noisy45:
No news threads if it has nothing to do with igbos. I'm ijaw but I love those guys there stubbornness no be here

their stubbornness will never make them be president for ever, except they repent not to love corruption and not to hate other tribes again, or Until pdp is dead in their region.
Nnamdi kanu is not after biafra but after pdp .

Igbos dont want to go, they just want thieves to rule us.

What happened when they were given d 31st october 2017 ultimatum in d north? Did they move an inch or cry to CNN, UN, ICC, Putin etc instead?

Allow them have their country and then they can apply for visa that'll allow them live and work in Nigeria. There's no law against doing business in another country

RoyalUc:
It's quite pathetic that everyone now goes to bed and wakes up with nothing else in mind but "Igbos."

It has become too ridiculous that anyone who has something against the government of the day finds an easy channel by writing for and about the Igbos.

Have the Igbos become nwa gha ne megbu emegbu?

Because the definition of Igbo is hatred. So it is only okay to quote the Igbo whenever hatred for Buhari is being discussed.

diadem10:
Is anyone still wailing over Buhari's victory?

Next is Sanwo Olu victory


No way would Lagos go back to being in the opposition with the federal government. Lagos has lost so many projects in the past years due to the the fact that the state was in opposition. Thanks to Tinubu and other lagos visionary leaders for making Lagos a household name today. A state who has her seaport built before the Amalgamation of Nigeria should have been far better than bbnaija this if the FG had invested a lot in it. Thank God for Buhari administration. Never would Lagos goes back to being in the opposition with the federal government.

Sai Buhari.
Sai Tinubu.
Sai Sanwo Olu.

Anybody that feels Lagos isn't working should go back to their State...

At least everyone is from somewhere...

If not they'd keep picking SS time and time again...

presidency:
By Femi Adesina

On February 27, 2019, lawyer and activist, Mike Ozekhome, wrote a piece under the headline, 'Buhari's skewed view of the Igbo race.'

On face value, the piece seemed to advocate the cause of the Igbo race, but a dispassionate analysis shows it for what it truly is: drivel meant to incite the Igbo against the Muhammadu Buhari administration, and further inflame passions that would pedestal the ethnic nationality against the rest of the federation. Ozekhome appeared to be a friend to our brothers and sisters across the Niger, but in actual fact, he was a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing. Shakespeare describes such as "goodly apple but rotten at the cheek."

It is always so very easy to claim that Nigeria is disunited, while at the same time be a purveyor of hatred and discord. What Ozekhome did was simply to fan the embers of hatred, bile and disunity, playing the Igbo against the rest of the country, while appearing to be their friend. Well, it is not surprising, as the Good Book tells us that even Satan has a way of appearing like an angel of light, to deceive and beguile the unwary.

The verbose and bombastic article (make it simple, is one of the principles of good communication) is filled with half truths, outright falsehood, and vitriol, all to ensure that the Igbo nation sees President Buhari as its arch enemy. It is example of an outsider weeping more than the bereaved.

Lawyer Ozekhome has a right to his political persuasion, which is also very well known. He is a friend of that rent seeking political class, which is fast becoming endangered species in Nigeria today. Under President Buhari, it is becoming crystal clear by the day that the political breed that the lawyer loves is becoming a vanishing sect. And that breed may never control the levers of power, and the purse strings of the country again. What grief for lawyers that thrive better under such circumstances!

See a portion of the acerbic piece that betrayed Ozekhome's political preference: "It was enough that President Jonathan had been sacrificed and booted out of office by APC and its international collaborators, led by the US, UK and EU. These are the same countries the very government is now tagging meddlesome interlopers in our internal affairs."

So, after all, the piece was not about love for the Igbo nation. At the substratum level is love for the free spending Goodluck Jonathan administration that frittered away the commonwealth of the country, looting everything from the Federation Account, to Excess Crude Oil Account, central bank, and the foreign reserves. Some lawyers possibly made a killing under such laissez faire atmosphere, and wished it had lasted forever. But here's the truth for Ozekhome: the Jonathan administration is gone, and gone forever. Nigerians are not likely to ever afflict themselves with such squander-mania again. Those who long for the onions, garlic and cucumber of Egypt had better accept the fact that we have left the land of servitude forever. We are now almost in Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey, and there's no turning back.

Ozekhome described the February 23 presidential election as "complete murder of democracy and electoral process by the Buhari government." Really? Millions of Nigerians don't think so. Rather, the day of the election goes down in history as one in which bloody nose was given to the confederacy of wheeler dealers that wanted to seize the public treasury again, and make a mess of it. However, the people said a resounding no. It pains the lawyer and his ilk to the marrows. But not to worry, he can still make some fast bucks from the community of senior lawyers being assembled by Atiku Abubakar in a futile bid to regain a 'mandate' which never existed in the first place.

The Agenebode, Edo State born lawyer merely used the Igbo nation as a smokescreen to display his angst against the Buhari administration. Hear what he wrote about the Igbo in respect of the February 23 election: "However, notwithstanding the militarized process and disenfranchisement of many Nigerians, the Ndigbo people tenaciously stood their ground as a proud race. They clearly rejected Buhari through the ballot box." True? False. What about the Igbo that gave the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Buhari more than the required 25 % in Abia, Imo and Ebonyi states? Are they not members of the ethnic nationality again? Does Ozekhome think Atiku Abubakar, or anybody else, would ever become Nigerian president by just locking down two geo-political zones out of the six in the country? It will never happen. They are the ones that fooled the old political war horse into believing that he was already president before the first ballot was cast. Soon, they will leave the man in the lurch, and look for economic benefits somewhere else. But they should never forget that the days of free money are gone in Nigeria. Yes, you can still get quite wealthy in this country, but you must work for it. And hard, too.

Ozekhome gave himself away as a typical person that speaks from both sides of the mouth. He said President Buhari did not visit Anambra State till he found the need to go for political campaign, first in the gubernatorial election of 2017, and the recent presidential race. You never can win with some people. Head or tail, you lose. They can cavil, and live permanently at the complaint counter of life. The president visits a state, he is criticized. He doesn't visit, he is excoriated. The best thing is just to ignore the professional complainers, and do what you think is right.

Pretending to love the Igbos, while inciting them to what may tantamount to political doomsday, the lawyer said President Buhari never attended the burials of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, Chinua Achebe, and Dr Alex Ekwueme. Some people make political capital out of everything, including shedding crocodile tears at burial ceremonies, but not Muhammadu Buhari. We all know what he did when Dr Ekwueme took gravely ill, and he arranged medical evacuation by air ambulance abroad. The government also footed the medical bill. The state burial was attended by the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo. So impressed was the Igbo nation that a high powered delegation came to the presidential villa to say thank you. Yet, a man from Agenebode, pretending to love the Igbo more than themselves, is playing cheap politics with burial ceremonies.

See this pettiness about the mausoleum of the great Zik, which had been abandoned before the Buhari administration completed it: "He was in Onitsha to commission his only project and 'federal presence' since 2015, the repainted grave tomb of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zik of Africa) whose burial obsequies he had also shunned in 1991."

If Ozekhome had been less consumed by hatred, he would have realized the deep friendship that existed between the then Gen Buhari, and Zik's son, Bamidele. They were so close that the latter played host to Buhari many times in Onitsha.

Bile and 'bad belle' also led the lawyer to describe the magnificent mausoleum as 'repainted grave tomb.' This was a project that Power, Works and Housing Minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola, personally supervised, and delivered in grand manner. But Ozekhome probably has not been to Onitsha, and does not even know the road to the city. That's why he calls it a repainted tomb. Yes, the horse of an adversary is never tall. If it stands at over six feet, the enemy says 'oh, see this dwarf horse.' Hatred blinds. Animosity addles the mind, and poisons the soul.

Sometime last year, Federal Government unveiled about 69 projects currently being executed in the South-east alone, including the Second Niger Bridge, roads, other bridges, electrification, and many others. But people like Ozekhome would not see it, as they would rather chase briefs in Ekiti State under Ayo Fayose, for which they got humongous legal fees. God dey!

In the Good Book, wise men came from the East to see the holy child, Jesus. Wise men still abound in the eastern part of Nigeria. They know what pertains to their peace, and they voted wisely on February 23. The Igbo must inevitably produce the President of Nigeria. But that eventuality will not come by listening to hate preachers like Mike Ozekhome. We have seen how hate preachers from the pulpit failed resoundingly in the presidential election. Hate preachers from the bar will also fail, and no mistake. You can only be president when you build a coalition round the country, and not by circumscribing yourself in two regions. That, at best, can only give you a clan head.

Adesina is Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity

Mr Adesina, now that your boss Buhari has succeeded in rigging the 2019 election using military, Police and INEC, he has no other excuse of PDP ruined Nigeria for 16 years or Goodluck looted Nigeria dry for 50 years, remember, you guys will soon be going into your 5th year in office, so no more ranting about PDP or Goodluck.

So we don't want to hear you Adesina talk any nonsense about Goodluck looting Nigeria again.

In the next few months, we want to see Nigerian economy improve so well, we want to see our youths going back to gainful employment, we don't want to hear any further finger pointing, accusation and blames.

So tell Buhari that he have no other excuse to give for his failures again as all eyes are on him, that's all we can say for now.

As for Igbos, we Igbos know our lovers and haters, so you don't need to defend Igbos or attack Ozekhome for his opinion, Buhari's actions in the few months ahead will tell the world whether Buhari hates or likes the great Igbo tribe but lastly, tell your boss Buhari that whether he likes Igbos or not, whether he includes Igbos in his government or not, Igbos are a God's chosen tribe just like the Jews of Israel.

Tell him that despite all their conspiracies against Igbos from 1967 - 1999, Igbos remain the most successful tribe in Nigeria, remain the most exposed and most traveled and most internationally acclaimed and integrated tribe in Nigeria. There is no part of the world you will go and you won't see great number of Igbos doing exceedingly well and very close to that country's government and economy heart, no nation you will go in the world today and not find enough successful Igbo people.

Igbos don't need any government to flourish as over 40% of Igbos are living outside Nigeria and excelling so well and bringing more than enough wealth back to their Igbo families so even if Nigerian economy gets finally murdered by your boss Buhari in the next 4 years, Igbos will be the least affected among all Nigerian tribes, so tell your boss to cry for himself for denying Nigeria the great talents of Igbos who would have revived his government and changed Nigeria's economy.

Crude oil selling at low price is not the reason Nigeria is witnessing bad economy and mass unemployment, give Igbos their rightful place in Nigeria and watch Nigeria's economy compete with Chinese and American economy, but will Buhari do that That's left for him cos I know even you Adesina can't convince Buhari because Buhari is stubborn and very vindictive.

And you will always be stupid! Just like your kinsmen.

What a typical, baseless rant of a failed mouthpiece. Are you even aware that the "millions of Nigerians" you allude to (as supporting/reelecting you) are less than 8% of the population. That's a huge question mark on your legitimacy and commitment to nation building.

Even with your wholesome riggings, institutional corruption, gross voter intimidation and suppression, your party got less than 25% of vote from the South East as a zone. But you won't tell your gullible followers anything about that fact.

Rather than dealing with the glaring issues raised by Mr. Mike Ozekhome, all you could come up with as a spokesman (after 7 whole days of searching for nonexistent alibi) was this dumb diversionary personal attacks on the learned gentleman.

Shame!

Where were you when your principal used his infamous 97% vs 5% narrative to justify his very deliberately planned noninclusive style of governance against Ndigbo?

Where were you when your principal used his warped sense of "merit" to justify his lopsided, nepotistic, deliberate and total exclusion of Ndigbo from the security apparatus of the country?

Mr. spokesman, are you aware that Nigeria is being tagged as going the way of Venezuela currently?

You should be telling us what's your principal's take on that, rather than this childish rant against the truth.

And, talking about Venezuela vs Nigeria and your falsehoods about the economy, here's a nice food for thought:

5,000 Igbo Biafran soldiers were defeated at Ore by 179 Yoruba soldiers led by Col. Iluyomade.
