ItsMeAboki:


You make me laugh at your naivety and ignorance.

The first overtly tribalistic and divisive recorded statement in the history of Nigeria's politics (and particularly southern politics) was made in 1945 by an Igbo man, a prominent lawyer and member of the central legislative council of the NCNC, Charles Onyeama; who the said, "Igbo domination of Nigeria was only a matter of time"(see Page 204 ”Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria” by Godfrey Mwakikagile).
That statement was credited to have been the first of its kind and the beginning of tribal/regional politics as other groups began to think and respond similarly.
That comment was followed by another in 1949 by Dr, Nnamdi Azikiwe under his dual capacity as both leader of the Pan Igbo Union and the NCNC, who at the time may have forgotten that the latter was not an Igbo party after leadership of the party was handed over to him by a Yoruba man (Sir Herbert MaCaulay) when he (Zik) was quoted as saying, "It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages ….”(see, The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949).

No, those examples were not to prove he loved them but certainly to show he did not necessarily hate Igbos as claimed.

Alleged arrest of those Enugu boys was lawful and in order; because they had no right to take the laws into their own hands and initiate the killing of innocent citizens who would have had no part in the earlier killings simply because they shared the same tribal ancestry with the culprits - in any case Buhari wouldn't need to have been involved with that order since he already has a police chief who would have been automatically responsible for such minor details.

You blamed Buhari on the lack of action by the security agents even after warnings of the impending Enugu attack; yet you ignorantly forgot that the immediate persons who first got the information and yet didn't act were no other than the governor (Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi) being the state's Chief Security Officer and the Commissioner of Police (Nwodibo Ekechukwu) - both of them Igbos (as per The Transition Committee Chairman of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State ,Chief Cornel Onwubuya, on Monday told the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Nimbo Killings: https://www.nairaland.com/3222221/enugu-traditional-rulers-collect-grazing).

Lest we also not forget that shortly after the killings your Igbo Police Commissioner boldly appeared on TV to dismiss the attacks as not by herdsmen but by hoodlums fighting between themselves.

Lest us not also forget that Igbos are not entirely blameless on this matter, even though the biased southern dominated media had always been feeding us with only one side of the story; however, a little research would reveal evidence of Igbo culpability in the matter: e.g.

Traditional rulers and others guilty of collecting grazing money from the herders, where sometimes the latter are duped of their money.

Igbo communities guilty o f illegally selling grazing land and duping unsuspecting herdsmen

Tendency to also attack innocent northerners over unconnected disputes between individuals in Igbo land

In short, you Igbos are bad losers who love hate and blame everything and everyone but yourselves.
You hate Buhari and sell the lie that he hates Igbos simply because he won the last election and your candidate lost- thats all.

Choi, I just feel like grabbing popcorn and child zobo drink while reading this.
Infact EOD.
