''NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH''
ON THE OBA OF LAGOS THREAT TO IGBOS IN LAGOS.

I think we the igbo's have got a real big problem, we are ranting here and there about the recent threat credited to the Oba of lagos, it seems we haven't learnt any lesson yet. Our igbo leaders have sold out that region to the PDP just because of greed and sending the region to political extinction. Now let us reason together, the Oba of Lagos is not a politician and secondly he never supported the candidacy of Buhari, which he made it open when Goodluck visited him before the March 28 poll, he went to the extent of raining insults on former president OBJ, now he is coming out to create another confusion by his comment, have we sat down to ask ourselves maybe he might be working for the PDP? Because they know the igbo factor in the lagos election, and igbo man can be use to do dirty work, once you grease the palm of an Igbo man, he can sell his dignity. Why are we not seeing the big picture here? Why do we always throw away our golden opportunities to develop the igbo people? Why do we make ourselves to be seen as a betrayer? Lagos under the leadership of Tinubu and Fashola has recognized the Igbo in lagos and have been generous to the igbo even to the extent of appointing igbo's into their administration and allocating juicy positions, it only in Lagos that an Igbo man has been appointed commissioner for budget and planning, it only in Lagos that igbo has been elected local government chairman, other non Igbo states has never done that, yet we allow ourselves to be used against an administration that has been so generous to us. I think we should be ashamed of ourselves because we have a very big issue, during the fourth republic, the Igbo had the senate president and we killed ourselves, we masterminded the impeachment of our fellow brother because of position, it is only the igbo turn that we had 3 senate president in four years, we are the same people who witch hunt down our own blood brothers because of greed, Buhari floated CPC and won some states in the north and today all those governors are still with him up to date, tinubu created ACN and won all 4 states in the west and today they are still with him, Orji Uzo Kalu formed PPA, won abia and Imo, but what happened? They went back to that same PDP that sent them out. You are destroying yourselves, making yourselves inferior to other region, becoming a follower because you have refuse to have a leader as a result of lack of trust in each other, we know Buhari, Babagida, Atiku etc as current leader in the north, we know Tinubu, obasanjo, in the south west, we know Edwin Clark, Anenih, in the south south, who is our own leader in the south east? Ojukwu, who risk his career, life and family for the Igbo nation created APGA and yet he cannot lay claim to the whole of igbo state, this is a shame on us and the worst of it is that, they have sold out that legacy after his demise, former governor Peter Obi is a betrayer, he dumped a platform that gave him 8 years in office, and became a follower, I can still align with rochas, he collapsed his APGA in forming APC, he can be adjudged as a founding member of that party unlike Peter Obi who joined an already existing platform, Theodore Orji can be described as the worst governor in the southeast yet he has the mandate to represent in the senate, Stella oduah has corruption charges hanging on her neck yet she got an heroic welcome in her state and was given the mandate to senate, we openly celebrate criminality and yet we want to be accorded respect, in my own view I think the Oba was even kind, he should have said igbos will be delivered to shekau to deal with them or even put them in a container and bombed. What were you thinking? You think just as you have deprived yourselves an association with the federal government, so they will allow you to make their state loose same too, no way! They want development, lagos has recorded so much progress in the last 16 years without much federal empowerment, have you though how much more progress it will have with the federal might? I pity you and your investments in Lagos. You said you want independent. I laugh, because have always asked where are the leaders that will govern us? Nwazurike formed MASSOB, today you said Jonathan has bought him over, hundreds of MASSOB members are in jail today, they have been denied bail but non of the Niger delta militant were jailed rather the collect billions of naira and they are sent abroad, yet you voted and cast ur support on Jonathan, I was told that it was the south south that betrayed Ojukwu during the war and he lost, thousands of Igbo died, yet you all shout GEJ till 2019, well thank God it didn't come through, because we are daft, he changed his name to Ebele Azikwe and we followed and say he is our brother. APC has come out to tell you to ignore the Oba, Tinubu has come out to do same, he went ahead to asked if the government have not been paying the school fees of igbo children in public schools, 4 igbo children has been given opportunity to become governor in a day in Lagos thru the spelling bee contest, they have enjoyed scholarship to study abroad in Lagos, yet we still shout everyday that the Oba threatened, why didn't ur so called Eze's protest at the meeting? The clapped for him because they are bunch of cowards. Well for me, an Igbo boy, born and breed in Lagos, I am appreciative of that state and will support it. Eko o ni baje.

The election is over, its time for us all to move forward and take Nigeria to Greater heights

We need to wise up Nna. All these our so called leader are actually using us to actualize their selfish purpose i tell. as the chips are down now, its we the commonners that sees ourself now. be it Igbo or Yoruba or even Hausa guys. We shud stop following them all in the name of ethic fight. If Nigeria can be good to a level of our desire with equity and justice, Biafra we hv bin yearning for might not even be needed again my brodas because all me and u need is to live a good and comfortable life.

Nwanem,I hardly read post that are moredan 2paragraph ,but Tnk God I read this one, u too get sense ,1love broo

My brother, we really have a big problem on our hands I tell you. I see my Igbo brothers proudly hitting their chests and shouting that Igbos have no king and I smh. This lack of structure in Igboland has been our major undoing, it is the reason why we have not been able to properly harness our strength. How can a people move forward without a clear cut leader that can provide needed vision and direction? Even the bible says that when there is no vision, the people perish or cast off restraint. As it is, every man is going their own way in Igboland.

The only man that was able to command the Igbos in one direction is the great Ojukwu and up till today, none has been able to wear his shoes. Even the APGA founded by the Ikemba has been destroyed because of our greed and selfishness.

Look at the way Obasanjo & Tinubu are guiding the Yoruba, look at the way Atiku/Buhari/Babangida are guiding the Northerners. When it comes to our own, our people beat their chests and shout we have no king.

As far as I am concerned, i do not see the need for this aggression and hatred towards the Yoruba. I was also born and brought up in Lagos and as far as I can see, the Yoruba have carried us along well. Respect is reciprocal and as far as I know the Yorubas have respected us in the SW, we should also give them all the respect they deserve. When you try to talk sense to our people, they shout you down and call you all sorts of names. Some even started to call me a Yoruba boy recently just because I was trying to point out some hard facts to them.

You cannot moved forward when you are weighed down with bitterness & hate.

That aside, I think the Oba of Lagos and those Igbo Ezes were working together for the APC. They knew that Jimi Agbaje stood a very good chance of winning and this is what they did, they acted out that script to pitch the Yorubas in Lagos against the Igbos and succeeded in labelling Agbaje as an Ikeshuku.

Everything that happened in the Oba's palace was rehearsed and well planned. The only way Ambode could beat Agbaje was to pitch the Yoruba against the Igbo and that is exactly what happened. Who recorded the whole thing and why was it leaked to the public? If this whole Oba episode had not happened, a lot of Yorubas would have voted for Agbaje and it was common knowledge that the Igbos would vote in block for Agbaje being their party man. The APC saw this and decided to play the ethnic card which worked perfectly. They know our people well and that we will shout and bring down heaven when we see the video just like we reacted during the deportation saga.

All this was part of Tinubu's game, wake up!
