Obi2saveNigeria:
Call it prophecy, or forcast, or prediction but Mark it today, Nigeria will break up if Tinubu is not removed by the tribunal.

I will explain, it's going to be long but detailed:

The Nigerian civil war ended in 1970 with a no Victor, no vanquished declaration. Igbos accepted with faith and began to reintegrate with the rest of Nigeria. They invested massively all over the country with the impression that Nigeria has come to stay. To the credit of other leaders in Nigeria post civil war, they also tried to assimilate Igbos within the politics of the country, even though the promised reconstruction of war ravaged Eastern Nigeria was never carried out. Some military officials of Eastern origins who left the Nigerian army to fight on the Biafran side were also reintegrated into the NA. In 1979, just 9 years after the war ended, Alex Ekwueme became vice president to Shehu Shagari. During the succeeding military regimes, some Igbos also held important positions.

In 1999, Alex Ekwueme who formed PDP alongside the G34 was on the verge of emerging the civilian president. However, the military leaders, mostly from the North felt that since Abiola, a Yoruba man, was not allowed to rule Nigeria despite winning the 1993 election then it would help foster unity if they produce the president. Based on that, the military brushed up Obasanjo who has just been released from prison and totally broke. They manipulated the system ensured Obasanjo emerged winner at the Jos primaries. He eventually ruled for 8 years. Between 1999 and now, Yorubas have ruled for 8 years as president, and also 8 years as vice president. Igbos have never ruled, not even as vice president for so many decades!

Some Nigerians often taunted Igbos that the Igbos have not played politics well or embraced other Nigerians enough to win the presidential election. Laughable as the argument may seem but in the 2023 election, Peter Obi shattered all those arguments. He campaigned in all the states in Nigeria. He appealed to all Nigerians and gave them reasons to vote for him. He went to some Northern states like Kaduna, Borno, Adamawa etc. multiple times just to give them a sense of belonging. Above all, Obi happened to be the most astute and least corrupt of all.

Nigerians reciprocated by supporting him en mass. Peter Obi, pulled unprecedented crowds in not just Southern Nigeria but also in the North. Even without renting crowd like his opponents kept doing. For the first time since 1999, it became obvious that an Igbo man was about to emerge president of Nigeria. However, what followed next shocked not only Nigerians but foreign observers as well. Bola Tinubu who was the candidate of the ruling party threw caution to the wind and unleashed the worst form of desperation ever in the history of presidential elections in Nigeria. He and his henchmen started threatening Igbos. The sort of ethnic profiling these men kept spewing against Igbos could be comparable to that of the Third Reich against Jews prior to the holocaust.

If it had stopped at just rhetorics, it may have been manageable but no, they elevated their threats on Igbos and began attacking them physically in Lagos. Several Igbo dominated markets were burnt down. Tinubu's men including MC Oluomo were seen on television threatening Igbos in Lagos and warned them not to come out to vote. Policemen were on ground watching him and smiling when he dished out the threats. On election day, several Igbos were either killed or maimed. Others were either attacked and stopped from voting or had their votes destroyed!

Despite all these brazen attacks, Peter Obi was still about to win overwhelmingly. When the ruling party realized that Peter Obi was about to win landslide, they connived with INEC and shut the Irev down, thereby preventing real time uploads of votes cast across Nigeria. Every unbiased and informed Nigerian knew everything that transpired. No one was fooled.

Today, the case is at the tribunal. If there is fare judgment, Peter Obi will be declared the winner. When Peter Obi was asked what if the judges rule against him. He stated that such ain't supposed to happen based on overwhelming evidence available. However, if the judges decide to go against it, it means the country has been reduced to a criminal state.

If the tribunal gives a wrong judgment and validate Tinubu as president, Nigeria will hit the rocks. It will become clear to all and sundry that Igbos are not wanted/accepted in Nigeria.

Nnamdi Kanu is still in prison and he has become very popular. Most people no longer see him as irritant but a victim. Almost all he said has come to pass. Supreme Court has ruled that he should be released.

Now, with the harrassments and humiliation of Igbos before, during and after the election, there would be a consensus agreement within Igbos that Nigeria is not for them. Believe me, there has never been a time when Igbos unanimously support breakup since the war ended. When Uwazuruike and his MASSOB were fighting for Biafra, a significant percentage of Igbos didn't support them. Same with Nnamdi Kanu prior to his detention. Tinubu ruling for 8 years will mean presidency returning to North for another 8 years, a total of 16 years! During that 16 years, with Igbos being bitter and frustrated, what do you think will happen?

It's not possible to hold Nnamdi Kanu in detention forever, the longer he even stays in prison, the more revered he becomes. He would eventually become to Igbos what Mandela was to South African. And should he die in prison, all other options will be off the table! Heads or tails, I don't see Igbos remaining in Nigeria.

Peter Obi would have healed Nigeria but because of the desperation of one man, we missed that golden opportunity.

It has come to my knowledge that Igbophobic topics are given first class recognition on Nairaland ,and are allowed to trend by the mods with one sole purpose -- " to drive traffic to the site and earn money ".

I regard this as conscience trading by the executives of nairaland.

I have studied the trending topics on Nairaland for over 2weeks ,and 90% of those topics are Igbophobic and quite insulting to a particular tribe..

If ohaneze can get a good team of lawyers , Nairaland could be made to pay huge fines for this complete negligence or complicity of action

Opiop:
are u serious? Cos Google search would show otherwise

DollarBag:
Your opinion. You’re entitled to it

Godjone:
Yoruba na yoruba. They can never change. This man that speaks terrible things about APC in the past is the one romancing and dinning with the APC. Shameless people

WesternPanzer:
Ronu Bandits are highly despicable and disgusting human beings.

No where in the video was IPOB or UGM mentioned.

On the contrary, these are just common criminals that came all the way from Lagos to come and rob in Anambra. These are mere criminals or your everyday armed robbers.

Watch the video you cretins. Even the person interviewing them is Igbo. One time he asked them so they left all the way from Lagos to come and rob in the east.

And you think the cheer per se is not as a result of fear? The ones who have opportunities have all migrated to safer areas while the ones who don’t are stuck, and therefore have no other option than to learn to live with them. To them(I mean these vulnerable ones), if cheering and praising them is what it takes to live with them, so be it.
Can you now see their fate?

DollarBag:
You even said “they are…” not “we are…”
Haba. Have some conscience please 🙏. You must not be anywhere short of Lagos, Abuja or PH and you’re speaking for people who are traumatized and have probably developed HBP as a result of horror and hunger inflicted upon them by Criminal IPOB you cheer.
There’s God bro. That’s all I can say
