Politics › Re: I Will Vote For An Igbo President In 2019 – IBB by vanbonattel: 9:16am On Nov 29, 2015
Thank you for your magnanimous offer of "dashing" us your support, but the matter on the table is bigger than the Igbo presidency rubbish. Nigeria of today is so bastardized that every president of the country of will fail, like Buhari's current failures.

Push for restructuring of the country instead , instead of setting up an igbo man up for failure and then blaming him for every single problem of Nigeria, including the mismanagement of oil windfall during the first Gulf war grin

Why MASSOB went to bed throughout the
period Jonathan was the President, only for MASSOB
to wake up from their deep slumber now that Buhari
is the President”, the Igbo cannot be asking for
sovereignty in a country that they were one of the
major stakeholders,“if MASSOB had
failed to achieve sovereignty under former President
Goodluck Jonathan that they supported, would they
achieve it under President Buhari they never
supported?

The Great Jaja is Well Celebrated and a Hero too. He's an icon in every right. But the Three men did extra-ordinary.


Anthony Enahoro with dues rspect was more of a Nationalist. He was a very great man but it was unfortunate that he didn't see need for supporting the MidWest creation of his people. Nevertheless, he was a well respected statesman and a legend.

If I have time, I'd have done a roll call but time won't permit.
Jaja of Opobo as an igbo man that's why he is not on the list

You are still missing the point here!

We Yorubas dont believe in "aggression as a means to an end".

This is where we are different from the Ibos.

We believe more in "Use of Brain power" to resolve issues, after-all, after the "fight-fight", you will still have to come and "discuss" to solve the problem.
And we have the RESULTS TO PROVE IT, in the last 55 years of Nigeria's independence! kiss kiss

Look at it this way: When Animals disagree over territory, its a "fight to death and the stronger has to kill the weaker one, to stay alive".
But as evolved "higher animals", man has learnt to set-up institutions to "deliberate and find solutions" to the same type of territorial issues... instead do behaving like wild animals.


The ability to resolve issues without recourse to "base, animalistic mentality" is a sign of "sophisticated, cranial development"....(look at America made up of over 50 states (like 50 countries), yet it is able to resolve its electoral disputes (even outright rigging as in Al Gore, unlike some African countries like East Africa, Ivory Coast, Liberia which will destroy each other over the same thing)

You will agree with me that this is a symptom of "being evolved and sophistication".

NB: you have insulted me a few times but l have taken the pains to respond to you in a "civil manner" to still buttress my point that we are "genetically different ....and miles-apart"!
That is why l am Yoruba.... and you are Ibo

You are making my points for me, the Yoruba confuse their cowardice for quiet resolution but cannot point to any benefits of the years of suffering and smiling grin
You can always think that you have ruled for many years since independence but the poverty in your lands is alarming. Apart from a few multi billionaires the rest of your youths are wasting under the various long bridges robbing every one or engaging in other illegal activity. The approach of the Yoruba is to blame for the hole the country found itself due to its stupid way of remaining aloof in the face of gross incompetence in handling the affairs of this ccountry

Do you now see where we differ? There is cowardice in the genes of every Yoruba, including you.

Its true... Any 50yr old man now was a kid when the war was being fought not even up a teenager. So all these protesters that are lusting after a war don't have a clear view of what is on their mind. Well, Nigeria can't break without a war. So I hope millions of Biafrans are ready to be in hell. Maybe that way we can sanitize Nigeria.
What changed in the last 50 years? It is certain that so many people are planning on being foot mats forever.

Truth hurts...sooo bad and it is difficult to swallow! undecided undecided

Just for example, look at how Yorubas were able to "manage" their loss during the "MKO Abiola annulled election" (by a Northerner in person of Ibrahim Babangida), ......to the point of "immediately" producing a two-time Yoruba President, and now a Vice President and most likely the next President...
....and you will get what l mean when l say they are "sophisticated"
.

That is not boasting, it is just pointing out the obvious. kiss kiss

Now, imagine if MKO Abiola and what happened to him were to be of the Ibo race, l am sure, just as you are, that the outcome will be totally different, basically they will come out of it completely ruined, if they even come out at all.

That is the difference between the two races.

Good analogy!

Now my own reading of the same example is pure cowardice. If the west stood up and challenged the north for once instead of the greed for presidency which still bastardized the country and left things the same, leaving us all still in this quagmire.

You are right, the Igbo would have reacted differently.

Sir, let's take Kanu, the timing of the agitation, and the mentality/emotions of the average Igbo out of the equation. Let's look at Nigeria with a clear mind - do you actually believe Nigeria is a country and it can function properly like a country? You answer would be the premise for my next post.

Err...sometimes, it isn't always about the messenger and timing of an event. It's about grabbing an opportunity whenever it presents itself - hence folks will always tell you to be ever ready cos you never know when the opportunity will come.

oga,if you read my post very well,you would understand i didnt in anywhere say that Fed Govt. should take over State Govt duties

The Work of the fed Govt. is to build Federal Roads&major bridges like 2nd Niger bridge,Clean up Oil spillages..etc..This is there primary job.Am not going to start singing all about Electricity,jobs,Security ish..this is the basic works of the govt and its not what we are seeing..For me to travel from Enugu down to Anambra,i have to take a different route..And if one takes into Acct what people agitating for Biafra wants,they are asking for 3 things just like the Niger Deltans are asking for good roads,portable water,jobs among other things;
Equal opportunities at Federal Level,Rehabilitation of Major Roads&2nd Niger Bridge..its not like they are asking for presidency or Security or jobs in which we all know that an average igbo man doesnt depend on govt before he feeds..
Its Easy for us to criticise people and think they are acting crazy but until you fully understand what they go through,you would think twice.Niger Delta Regions are a perfect example
Don't waste yoir time educating the useless idiott who thinks using multi coloured posts will elevate his thinking from that of a kindergarten class where multi colour is the norm grin

These are a very cogent questions .....for "discerning minds"!

*Why did IPOB not raise this kind of "hell", when they have a better chance of achieving results, (under Jonathan)?
*Why did Nnamdi kanu not "air" his Radio Biafra treasonous statements, so loudly, under GEJ, when he would probably recieve a "warm reception"?

*Why did the Ibos not show this kind of 'anger' at their Chairmen and Governors, who "collect and loot" their share of the National cake? Yet they waste their energy on Fashola, Governor of Lagos!

*WHY NOW? When a Northerner is the President... and a Westerner is the Vice President?

A lot of people are asking these same questions!



[b]A "school of thought" examines these issues critically and came to the conclusion that"

"Ibo agitations are primarily driven by hatred (of the Yorubas), rabid Anger (at the Hausas), "sense of".. and a "plot for" vengeance (towards the Yorubas), Hypocrisy (towards and within their own tribesmen), mischief (at the whole polity, to cause mayhem) and a sense of weakness/failure (for under-achieving, within the Nigerian political spectrum).


Thus, such agitations are not only bound to fail as they are based on "non-altruistic and emotional premise", such agitations are viewed with suspicion, by everyone else and therefore not taken seriously.

This is a honest assessment, from someone on "the other side" of the divide but then, l wont expect any Ibo person to agree with it because that would be an admission of failure...something which "Ego and Self-pride cum self-delusion", will not permit, .....qualities which the Ibo persona has in very high dosage[/b]. undecided

My Take.
