The opportunistic legislator who trapped the three other legislators for Etiti is trying to usher in a crisis of unparalleled proportions to Igboland. We know how the sponsor quickly arranged for 2nd Reading of his Etiti, a state proposal for mixing groups that except being Igbo have had little or no relations with one another.
MY BROTHER, THEY THINK THEY ARE SMART AND TACTICAL BUT DONT REALISE, REPS FROM OTHER REGION ARE LAUGHING AT THEM.
THEY REFER TO SE AS DOT IN A CIRCLE.
IT WILL BE FUNNY TO THEM, SEEING IT GETTING CUT DOWN FURTHER.
Amah70: Igbos are underdoing themselves in the state creation matter, right from 2006 when many other Nigerians started to see the need for additional state in the southeast.
Today, even the Isuikwuator Abia state born Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Reps has revived the roguish demand for Etiti state for sixth state in the southeast. Etiti state means cutting down Ebonyi and Enugu states into 11 to 13 local government areas each, Abia cut down to 15 local government areas, but have Imo state of 25 local government areas, so that the Deputy Speaker will have his Etiti State where he will become lord. He wants to set aside the long proposed Njaba or Orlu state to be cut from the 12 local government areas of Imo West Senatorial district joined to any willing number of local government areas in Anambra south. A sixth state for the southeast naturally belongs to, and supposed to be located, between Anambra and Imo States, or cut from any of the two states.
THAT ETITI STATE IS THE MOST SENSELESS PROPOSITION, I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
SO, I'M NOT SURPRISE AT THE BOLDED.
IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT.
IGBO MAN SELFISHNESS LEADING TO THE DOWN FALL OF THE WHOLE IGBO NATION.
PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR POLITICAL AMBITION AGAINST AND ABOVE IGBO COMMON OR COLLECTIVE INTEREST.
IF YOU PUSH ME, ASIDE ANIOMA, ADADA, I WILL ADOPT ORASHI STATE OR ORLU STATE FOR CULTURAL REASON.
NOT THE PICK AND MIX STATE LIKE ETITI, IT IS ALREADY A FAILURE.
babasolution: Don't join protest,don't join protest,the igbos will not hear now,they will use nsogbu nsogbu to follow enter protest,when the protest is pinned on them they'll start crying victims.
On X,their voice has been the loudest concerning the protest
They will later start Crying that Nigeria is against them
They always make themselves scape goats
SHARAP!
GO AND OPEN THREAD TO ADDRESS YOUR MASTER AND gOD.
Mrexcell: So this old foolish arse linking clown is yet to get some sense? A protest that the real northern organisers just revealed themselves to the public is the one this foolish man is now labeling LP's party and igbo organised protest?
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT TO GET INTO TINUBU CIRCLE, BECOME ANTIIGBO.
THAT IS THEIR MAIN CRITERIA.
JUST HATE THE IGBOS FOR NO REASON AND U BECOME TINUBU FRIEND.
Mrexcell: So this old foolish arse linking clown is yet to get some sense? A protest that the real northern organisers just revealed themselves to the public is the one this foolish man is now labeling LP's party and igbo organised protest?
U HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING.
THER IS A REASONN MANY WILL TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
WHAN A MAN, WILL SELL HIS OWN PEOPLE JUST TO PLEASE PAY MASTER OR FOR POLITICS, IS AN INDICATOR THAT HE WILL NOT THINK TWICE IF OFFERED THE MARK OF THE EBAST.
CorrectionFLuid: For Igbos like beremx who will go and join them to protest and end up giving them excuse to use us as scape goat.
They have already started their division. As if only Igbos did endsars. I repeat any Igbo that plans to joins in this protest will die before he gets the chance to do so.
IT IS THE SAMETHING THAT HAPPEBED IN THE 1960s, MILITARY DID COUP, THEY SAID IT WAS IGBO.
ANYTHING NIGERIA, THE IGBOS SHOULD JUST STAND ON THE SIDELINE AND WATCCH.
DONT GO AND JOIN ANY PROTEST, BEACUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS IGBO THEY WILL COME TO END EVERYTHING ON THEIR PEOPLE.
pazienza: It is what it is bro. The war you want to fight now has been fought and lost in 1967-70.
Unless you now have superior weapons and atleast one of the Five super powers, preferably China or Russia to back you now, I'd suggest you pipe low and don't be another Nzeogwu that will set in place a chain reaction that will lead to same result. Remember that it started as Operation Wetie and Wild Wild west in the Western region, but in the end, it ended in Biafran war with the rest of the country Vs Igbo. We must learn our lesson and learn to stay off such issues and mind our business.
If you want to help Igboland. Help in making sure no such protest takes place in your part of Igboland, join in Aku luo uno campaign, join in the Unification of Igboland project, protest for good governance from our governors.
That's how you show love to yourself as an Igbo man and to Igboland our motherland.
pazienza: These are reasons why no reasonable and Igbo thinking Igbo man should be involved in the planned protest:
1. You have already been marked as number one opposition to APC. Once this protest starts, you will be used as the scapegoat by the government to teach others lessons, while others will stylishly rescind and even join in bashing you. It has happened before. Stay off the useless protest.
2. You stand to gain nothing from the protest. If Tinubu resigns or steps down, you are not 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th in line to take over from him. You will be stupid to offer Igbo head to be used to break a coconut others will enjoy while you stay sidelined as usual.
3. The protest in the SE will easily be hijacked by questionable characters like Simon Ekpa who is being controlled by external anti Igbo elements within and outside Nigeria. Simon Ekpa and his branch of IPOB are fifth columnists and Trojan horses implanted by enemies of Ndiigbo to destroy our land. If you stupidly join this protest, Ekpa will make sure destruction and confrontation with Nigerian army happens by unleashing his armed boys to cause mayhem and justify Nigerian army violence on all of us. Be careful not to start what you don't have control over.
4. SE is not the worst hit by APC failure in governance. We always knew APC had nothing to offer hence as a progressive race, we have stood as a bastion of stiff opposition to APC since 2015 and have paid the ultimate prize of political exclusion for it while the rest of Nigeria including SS got a fair share of political representation in APC, as they have held both deputy senate and Senate posts so far. APC has made sure they returned our resentment towards them with political exclusion and banishment for us. We knew APC will fail and are better prepared to endure this reality than the rest of the country who claim to be better at playing politics. There is therefore no need to pretend like we expected better from APC by joining a useless protest. The whole idea of protest is to register a dissatisfaction because you expected better. This isn't the case with SE, hence the redundancy of a protest in SE. Let those who know how to play politics and expected better from APC do the protest.
5. Sometimes, silence is the best answer or what we call "masterly inactivity". We need to retain tactical silence in Nigeria now, stay off issues, let the "owners of Nigeria " to sort themselves out. You know the popular axiom of "If you wait long enough by the river banks, you will see your enemies float by". This should be our plan with Nigeria going forward.
With all these reasons outlined so far, it's now obvious why a protest is not the solution for SE. Let Tinubu see off his 8years and let Shettima do his too. Let's work with this mindset. Let's get ourselves prepared to win this economic endurance marathon. We are best prepared to win this torture than the rest than the rest of Nigeria as non of them have had to endure 1/100th of what we endured in Biafra or in post Biafra Nigeria until now. Don't join them, your reality are not same as theirs. Cheta na Oke solu Ngwere maa mmili, okoo Ngwere, ogaghi akoo Oke. Let's put more emphasis on our state governors, if there should at all be any protest, let it be to demand for better utilisation of our share of the national allocation from our governors down to local government chairmen. Let the Aku luo Uno continue. Let's find a way to flush those Simon Ekpa terrorists that have besieged our lands in Southern Anambra and Northern Imo out. Let's return peace to our land, grow our economy. Let's live like FG and Nigeria does not exist.
Unbiased1: You have to stop this. If there are Igbo people in some local government areas in Benue, let them speak up. We have to stop dabbling into the affairs of people uninvited. Have you ever, in your life, heard any call from the so-called Igbo communities in Benue to rejoin their Igbo brothers in Enugu? If those guys are not clamouring for such, why are you disturbing yourself? Is it until they call you attachee-by-force or land grabber before you go get sense? So far, only Ned Nwoko from the Enuani part of Anioma has spoken about creating a new state to join the East. All these phantom Igbo communities you guys are claiming in Benue, Edo, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states are just unnecessary, self inflicted stress.
MY BROTHER, I'M NOT YOUR PROBLEM AND NEITHER IGBO PROBLEM.
ASK YOURSELF, WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT IGBO IS SO DIFFICULT? IT IS IGBO MAN MAKING IT DIFFICULT OUT OF GREED.
IT WAS THE SAMETHING WHEN OBASANJO WAS PRESIDENT, THE MINUTE HE OFFERED SE SENATE PRESIDENT, ALL OF YOU START FALLING OVER YOURSELF TO BE SENATE PRESIDENT. THE SE ENDED WITH 4 SENATE PRESIDENT IN ONE TERM.
U ARE DOING THE SAME AGAIN, THEY HAVE OFFERED YOU AN EXTRA STATE BECAUSE THEY ARE PLANNING ON GIVING THEMSELVES MORE STATE.
WHAT HAVE THE SE REGION DONE? U ARE DEMANDING ADADA STATE, ABA STATE, ORLU STATE, ANIOMA STATE , ETITI STATE.
AGAIN U DONT HAVE A COMMON FRONT OR RALLYING POINT. MEANING POLITICALLY, U ARE EMPTY AND HAVE NO AGENDA AND A STATE IS A POLITICAL CREATION. HOW DO U EXPECT OTHER REGIONS TO VIEW THE IGBO MAN?
I HAVE ADVICE U PEOPLE ENOUGH, DO WHATEVA IT IS THAT U ARE GOING TO DO AND HOWEVER U ARE GOING TO DO.
SOON THE IGBO RACE WILL BE THE SIZE OF ANAMBRA STATE , WHEN EVERYBODY WILL GRADUALLY BE CLAIMING THEY ARE NOT IGBO AND LEAVING.
