Obasanjo revealed.
Former President of Nigeria, Chief Obasanjo has revealed reasons why Igbos are ahead of other tribes in Nigeria. It will be a task impossible to actualize for the Igbos, to follow the Yoruba’s Ideology. The Igbos are more republican by nature, which is why it is very difficult for you to tame such a tribe.
From the extensive research I did on the three major tribes, I find out that the Igbos are the most westernized, most enterprising, most astute, most dynamic, most intelligent (smart), and the most technically gifted tribe found among the black race. The Hausa/Fulani and the Yorubas have limitations. But an Igbo man doesn’t see any limitations.
An average Igbo man is highly competitive, unlike the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani.
While the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani had kingdoms which enabled the British to infiltrate their territories easily, the Igbos on the other hand, had what could be called “Chiefdoms” (autonomous Communities). These structures made it very difficult to tame the Igbos.
It took the British just 9 months to tame the North and South West but almost 30 years to be able to tame the Igbos. The British had to send a team of anthropologists to the South to understudy the Igbo because, they (the British) acknowledged they hadn’t been up against a black race with such depth and intelligence coupled with the gut to confront the whites and learn from them so, so fast.
While a Tinubu, can have unrestricted influence over the Yoruba tribe, something you can only find mostly among blacks and some poor nations on earth today, an Igbo man can never be tamed by the ideology of one man unchecked, no matter how highly placed he or she is. That’s why the Igbos are very successful no matter where they find themselves. They don’t believe in putting limitations on their path. You can only find such similarities among the Europeans, the Americans, and developed Asian tiger nations.
A Hausa/Fulani man sees Kano as his world. A Yoruba man sees Lagos as his world. An Igbo man sees the world as his village.

Foolish igbo you refuse to remove the log in your fathers head but want to come to pluto n be forming log removal. It is Amadioha that will destroy the every existence you muster to conjure that foolish writeup.

I think you can sponsor a bill for the ammendent of the electoral act to the National Assembly, that one party should not rule for more than four consecutive terms in a State.






VaselineCrew:


Then same for Enugu then. I’m not here to play any sort of tribal games, just looking for how we can strengthen our democracy and in turn our development as a people.

As I said, Nigerians will hail when they hear some igbo or Yoruba guy has been appointed mayor in some city in America, but same people won’t even let another party win elections in their state, talk less of another tribe or race.

I just think we are all very hypocritical sha.

Bros,I think you ought to have known that Democracy is a game of numbers and not necessarily a game of sentiments.


The majority of the people of Lagos prefer the ACN/APC to other parties.

It definitely is a game of numbers, but what happened when those numbers are being myopic?

Guess it is what it is.

The citizens turn everything, including parties into a primitive tribal battle; cutting their noses to make their faces angry.

What is the point of having just one party at the helm of affairs for decades? No accountability, nothing. Just as long as the major tribe sees it as victory over another, they put performance to the side.

I’ve already told all those who think I’m being tribal that the same should go for all states.

Just think about the lack of accountability with the lekki toll gate roads. You pay N200 per pass to drive on a road, yet road maintenance is lacking, lanes have all faded away, street lights can’t even be kept lit. I’m sure one week of revenue from that toll gate is enough to fix all these things.

Yet all these things are present on third mainland bridge, a toll free road.

Bros, it seems you don't fully understand how Democracy work.

The political party that has the hightest number of voters supporting their candidate will win.

You have no moral or Legal right to describe the decision of the majority of the voters as myopic.

I think you should berate the opposition political parties for being too unserious.


Poor governance has nothing to do with tribes. The citizens should demand good governance from their Government.
