In their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes.
Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories. Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear. Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos.
There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists. However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.
Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.
I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye. Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North.
As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria.
As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them. In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail. There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.
In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE. Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor? The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa. The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL . As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.
Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.
The third category are the Hausa Fulani. The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner. After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls. Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.
The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge. I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje. The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions. FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second. I hope very soon the by Igbo will not start blaming fayose as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war. I rest.
Well, fayose is right, Buhari is a disappointment, imagine the way politicians were flying out of the country when Buhari won 2015 election, now that they realised that the man is a weak man, they are back in Nigeria, some are even in his govt, even clueless Jonathan had d balls to deal with Sanusi, amechi and fayemi, Buhari is too weak abegi
mystery22: If not for awolowo betrayal,tribalism and zik stupidity who are the Fulani's to challenge the south...imagine a south Nigeria,issa pity sha Biafra is coming soon
Abi dis one dey mad ni, what tribalism/betrayer, u want an outsider to head western region?
Whiteangel1234: PDP is an opposition party naturally you demand Presidency from a Ruling Party which is APC
Secondly its strategic for APC to break the traditional PDP Stronghold perceived as south East and By Extension Igbo Votes . We will naturally vote PDP in 2023 but the only thing that can make us vote APC and Abandon PDP is the Ticket zone to us thirdly religion play key role in Nigeria Politics if PDP Zone to south East predominantly 99% Christian and APC Zone to the South West and a Moslem Candidate . APC will Definitely win because the South West Moslem Candidate will get more support and Northern Votes than an Igbo Christian Candidate. This is the unique polity of Nigeria we have to accept and play along
PDP should give it to Igbo Muslim then or won't u vote for your tribesmen because he's a muslim?
fulanimafia: This actually means that Rotimi is the best candidate for the APC ticket, since he can sweep the south and get majority votes in the North especially with the backing of President Buhari, while giving the SE a sense of belonging that will foster and promote national unity.
This therefore adds credence to this thread and the OP's postulation.
Yea, the way he swept south south for Buhari in 2015/19
Whiteangel1234: You are nothing but another Igbo haters and maybe another imposters I think you people are here to ruin Amaechi chance so that things will be easy for Crooked Eye Tinubu
Now I believed those that said u can't live without Tinubu, wetin concern Tinubu for this write up?
OVB123: The truth of the matter is that, Tinubu will definitely find it difficult to clinch the party ticket prior to 2023 general election because those interested in that position will ensure that he doesn't get the party ticket. This is just the beginning of his downfall because the humiliation and disgrace he meted on former Gov. Ambode, will also happen to him. MKO Abiola's factor is awaiting him.
Tinubu is playing u guys, una be confirmed mumu, the man is not contesting, but I love his silence, make una wail till 2023
seanfer: But his supporters who are not in Edo will tell us that the reason he was not given the APC ticket was that His refusal to share the state money for the Godfather.. But now He is having many Godfathers in PDP...
Once u win the heart of ur people, there nothing godfather can do to u but our governors prefer to run to Godfathers
This is why I said Naija is failing, they denied the poor job opportunity because festus refused to bribe them. Our youths better wake up, this thieves won't have much impact on us but our next generation go...
seanfer: When we asked them what their Principal has done in the last 3 and half years.. They told Us He is the best Governor in the history of the state, guess these people are brought in from Lagos to disgrace the best Governor...
This is why direct primary is the best, Obaseki wanted free ticket, federal might from apc because he has nothing to campaign with, Tinubu tried same with fashola but he failed simply because fashola was a performer
Obaseki man chased away with his police men, not allowed to campaign. They asked the local government chairman to show them the roads constructed. That Obaseki used their money to buy PDP ticket !!!
