Very good article.

Well researched and well written.

The article is biased and judgemental. The writer need to research well because all he wrote are more of sentiments. Yes I agree that many igbos hate Buhari but his excuses are not totally correct. To have an objective view, he needs to design questionnaires, take samples and analyze data before drawing conclusion.

It's either the writer is not resident in Nigeria or he thinks from his anus.why would you like a failure that is supervising an ongoing genocide both on human and the economy.

d dislike is in their blood. Inu eje lowa . igbos like corruption. the mere fact that u claim to b against corruption, whether falsely or truthfully - igbos won't want to know anything about u again or how u look. Coupled with that, igbos don't really like Hausas, they hate them as well as their lands, religion, weather/climatic conditions, language/culture,looks etc. in fact anything to do with hausa is bad hated by igbos. They also c APC as a Hausa Muslim party. Sometimes ds hatred is even extended to norther xtians like tivs,kaje,berom and others

Assertions are false. You view is generalistic in nature and doesn't portray the reality on ground. If I say all Hausas or Yorubas are wicked what would be your reaction? Wouldn't you say that not all of them? Why then do you have this stereotype thinking because of what you read on the internet?

Las Las one day we will go our. Separate ways sha....

No be for this country....e go happen.

Silly kid, stop trying to rewrite history that you know nothing about.

Before Buhari, Igbo's VOTED overwhelmingly for Yaradua - a CORE Moslem man from Buhari's home state.

Before Jonathan, the Igbo's REJECTED Buhari overwhelmingly, at least 3 times - and this was despite the fact that Buhari had an Igbo man as his running mate most of those times.

OBJ fought in the civil war, yet Igbo's voted overwhelmingly for him TWICE more than the Yoruba's did. In fact, the Igbo's voted more for OBJ than they did for Ojukwu.

Thing is, Buhari is anti-prosperiry and bigoted. And most Igbo's can smell that from years away. But kids like you who knew nothing about 1984 and its affect on the traits of self-reliance/individualism are clueless on why Igbo's would never be so excited about Buhari's presidency.

Quit your propaganda and Igbo-phobia and understand that in democracy, everyone has right to vote AGAINST your wish.

The reason most Igbo dislike the person of Buhari is an upshot of so many grounds. It is an open bias one we can only shy away from in the holy name of tolerance. As a Nigerian from the Western part of the country I have received insults hurled at my tribe because we supported the candidacy of a President that has one of our sons as the Vice-President.

Our case just like that of Buhari is an ancient "wrong". A prejudice and stereotyping that precedes recent events. The one sin we committed as a nation is fighting the civil war and the mistake we made either as a Nigerian or Biafran is not winning it. Because is it obvious the war wasn’t won, and it rages. How "no victor no vanquish" can delete memories of untold hardship and deaths is fragile.

The civil war was a leadership error, an ego contest by leaders, swift to war in the name of their people and their blood. I said once - whoever shot the first bullet killed the progress and unity of this nation. To most Igbo, Buhari personified the enemy - the one that killed their grandparents and parents. It insults their pride. The hatred is a civil revenge - the much accepted in a democracy. This is a man who served in the Civil war where millions of Igbo died - he was just a ready-made enemy. His history has condemned him. If Nigeria had “forgiven” the Igbos am sure most Igbos have not. It is hard to love when the elders that are supposed to forge the unity are the ones stoking the flames of violence. Writing legacy of discord. This generation of Igbo were unborn during the civil war or immediately after it - many of they don't even understand how ruinous. It is Aburi accord, with many not knowing what its content is.

The last election in Nigeria is one of the most schismatic ever and no matter the degree of "a hero" people try to foist on Goodluck Jonathan he will forever in history be a divisive leader. One who supervise a schismatic campaign for a selfish motive. The campaign rhetoric was intentionally divisive. It exploits the religion fault line of the country. Strategically positioning himself as a Christian president moving from church to church desecrating God’s acre with political statements while our bought pastors watch in connivance. A personal and non-religious obligatory visit to Jerusalem turned to a photo session indirectly passing a message to the Christian denominated Igbo of his faith. Bringing his faith into affairs of state, subtly dividing the country when Boko Haram, an "Islamist" terrorist group was killing Christians in the North - well done. He made his Platonic association with the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) public to the extent of using a plane linked to the "man of God" to ferry money to South Africa. That was him making the Igbo believe their man, a man of their faith is the president. Most fell for it and own him immediately. A became more than just Igbo, he became to some a hero.

The Igbos who are enraged with the way Boko Haram was killing Christians in the North saw Goodluck Jonathan as a man on their side - of shared faith in the "we versus them" that the Boko Haram issue later turned to.

Islamophobia is prevalent in the South-eastern part of Nigeria so when a Muslim came into power dislodging a Christian is seems like Christ was crucified again but this time by the Fulanis. It is not just a Muslim, a Muslim that the Jonathan camp has labeled a Boko Haram sponsor and sympathizer. No way! This sentiment resonant with some Igbos who believe that as a Muslim Buhari is evil. Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign tried effortlessly to stigmatized Buhari as an extremist but what they don’t know is that it worked even though they lost the election - most Igbos already accepted their campaign of calumny.

Another reason most Igbo dislike Buhari is because of ethnicity. Goodluck Jonathan created another "we versus them" using the ethnic fault. Apart from the geographical location that accommodates Otuoke in the 1967 map of Biafra - there is nothing that connects Goodluck Jonathan with Igbo except votes. But in the name of politics he transformed himself to an Igbo to garner the support of the mighty Igbo since his Ijaw tribe isn’t one of the three major tribes in Nigeria. The first was the name Azikwe. Then is the politically correct (and deserving) appointments of Igbos into his government. This appointment serves it purpose which is to be seen as Igbo, no more a friend of the Igbos. Does anyone still remember Yoruba leaders being called “Vagabonds” in Ibadan? Or the “born throway” of Patience Jonathan? The Awolowo party ( a reference to APC) campaign in the east. Or how the relocation of Igbos in Lagos was spun with ethnic coloration when same happened in Imo or Abia? Do you remember the “Lagoon” and Oba of Lagos? How a Yorubaman (Jimi Agbaje) was adopted by the Igbos in Lagos for Governor because it is believed to be in an Igbo party - PDP? Do you remember how PDP in Lagos presented Igbos for assembly seats? Positioning the party as an Igbo party. When It is part of a grand plan to make the election look like the Igbos against the Hausas and us the Yorubas - “the betrayer” all again. It was the civil war all again. A democratic one that leaves us with a divided country. The hatred and division didn't happen by chance it was planned to be so. Buhari is an APC member so when he won it was like the Igbo "lost" again - another January 1970. The outcome was planned smear the opponent and win the election.

Most Igbos don't like Buhari because Goodluck Jonathan’s message to them was well digested but wasn’t enough to re-elect him. If Jonathan is any hero it will be a BEER.

Oga,u scribbled all this trash because u are high on ogbosho weed,once the effect of the weed have left u,then come back and write something reasonable

cyrilamx:
It is not about where the former presidents hail from that matters to the Igbos rather their unalloyed romance with PDP. if not why did they refused to vote for Ojukwu under APGA or Moghalu under YPP ? Let PDP present a goat or pig as presidential candidate and APC present NOI or even their new found hero Atiku or Saraki, majority of Igbos will still queue behind the PDP's goat/pig. Didn't Atiku vie for the presidency under Action Congress? was he voted for by the Igbos? So plz shelve the talk "we voted for YarAdua, OBJ and Gej" It all about PDP and nothing more....

lol...u have turned it around nw....in ur post u wrote 10 million religious and ethnic reasons why we hated buhari...u didnt mention apc or pdp...when someone used a few words to dismantle ur lies...u have now turned the so-called buhari to being an apc vs pdp thing.

So in wat u are saying is that igbos would vote buhari if he was in pdp....wonderful

Fo.olish child

gidgiddy:


This thread is not asking why Igbos hate IBB or Danjuma or any other person, it is asking why Igbos hate Buhari. Whether Buhari played a fringe role or a direct role, he has been involved in the killing of Igbos for 50 years.

This is the same Buhari who had hardly returned from his medical trip to London in 2017 when he called his military Chiefs and ordered operation python dance that killed many unarmed Igbos

But in early 2018, as his Fulani brother were massaging people all across the middle belt, Buhari relaxed for months and did nothing.

To kill Igbos who are armed with nothing but flags is nothing for him, but he looks the other way as his herdsmen brothers armed with AK47 slaughter people

That is why it is not good to build something on falsehood.like i said you have no good reason to hate buhari.you can bring any other reason why you hate him but if its because of the civil war and coup,drop it.even before ipob members were killed,the hatred was there so drop that one also.

This guy if u want to talk to me talk
If u want to write write

Stop all these is irritating.....i God beg u

Haba.

Shagari and abiola must be PDP members

izombie:
Igbos do not hate buhari. We knew what this man did in 1983 and we know that he has nothing to offer nigerians now and recent events have justified our reservations. Buhari cannot give what he doesn't have.

Imagine did one..
