I don't think we need them . . . you may think so, but in the last 40 years, most every issue in Ibo land can be traced back to the so-called leaders. At some point, it is OK for the people to step out and take their democracy into their own hands. And not until that starts to happen, will we see improvement in Iboland. Ibos do not have to do it like the Hausa's or the Yoruba's or the Ijaws or even the Ibibios. We can look outside to see that there are more successful people's out there who do not have leaders per say. In the west, those models don't exist and look . . . these people seem to be doing a lot better than we are with our co-dependence on these numbskulls called leaders.

Ibo people are strong enough to make decisions for themselves . . . we finally have a system that allows us do just that  . . . I would rather than than have a bunch of lowlifes continue to sarbotage the future of our children in the name saving it.

Kobojunkie is a phucking Ibo biatch. Stop wasting your breath on that subjective efulefu

I am not certain what @Nchara's contribution to this is, but I do say again, the time of bogus leaders should be done away with.

[b]So you are Igbo?[/b]Are you scared to be associated with them or you feel you got so much knowledge than the average igbo man/woman
You seem to have all answers to every Nigerian problem. Always offering solutions like you can make any difference if given the opportunity.
The likes of you do the talking and no action to follow whats been offered as the solution.
You seem to be very critical of every topic discussed here but You have never shown one thing you do for the Nigerian community here in the US or even at home where you seem to claim so much knowledge about issues.
If you feel you so goood, quit typing on your keyboard and board the next available plane to Lagos and do exactly what you ve been typing on NL and lets see if you can stand the heat.
Peace.

Igbo leaders

I wonder who the fvck gave them the rite to claim that.

They are actually political jobbers trying to swindle GEJ using the title of Igbo leaders!

As for we igbos, many of us knows who we are voting.

Truth be told, the Igbos are indispensible in our nation, their contributions do not need to be highlighted, they are as bright as the sunshine. The freaking problem with Ndigbo is the doggone leadership who always put money above the interests of Ndigbo. Why was it not the SE making a deal with CPC? The whole country is sick and tired of PDP, but the leadership in the SE led the flock to vote overwhelmingly for PDP!

This is quite sad.

Kobojunkie:

Precisely !!! Another election and no one seems to be paying much attention to the South East . . . none of the candidates seem bothered to work to win the East, why? Because they feel the other regions are worth more to them at this point. SE ought to be the important region here since half of the candidates do not even have a SEasterner on the ballot at but NO, no one gives a darn because the leaders have sold out a long before this for kobo-kobo.

Most of these so-called leaders are nothing but opportunists looking for ways of getting for themselves and not much else.

Godman_n:
whatever anyone says, Igbos will be back at the right time. It is a law of nature.

As for my brothers in the north running after Jonathan, I wish them well. Luckily, they will be the first to shout when their sins come after them.

I hate tibalism. Even if I am to be a tribalist, Jonathan is simply not Igbo. He is Ijaw. Igbos fought the war without Ijaw support. I take the Ikweres and the Ikas in River and  Delta as Igbos but not Ijaws.

Yorubas have told me severally that Igbos will never rule Nigeria. Ijaws have said that several times. No Hausa has said that to me. So, I would rather vote an Hausa if I am to judge based on tribal sentiments than an Ijaw man

But outside tribalism, Buhari is the best for Nigeria. I see no reason why those Igbos in the North will troop to Jonathan but for ignorance. Of course we call them Ommatas. They have the money but lack intelligence. Politics means only stealing of public wealth to them.

Politics to me is the acts of organising my society. This Jonathan can simply not do better than Buhari.

When will my generation get this message. When will my Igbos get it.

Nigeria shall one day be free and emancipated.

How much did he pay you guys? I mean those dt endorsed him. How much? Gej want to beat IBB's record of politics of settlement.

Kobojunkie:

Apparently they were paid enough for them to render the Opinion and say of Ibos irrelevant this election period. Jonathan is not even working hard to earn the Ibo votes --seems more he like he is counting on that from his region(SS). The other candidates prefer to deal with volunteers than the many touts masquerading as Ibo leaders.

mbatuku1:

They've never said they were Igbo leaders, but leaders of their respective Igbo community associations.

You folks should read carefully before commenting wrongly.

Dede1:


Through the gauges of individual actions as precipitated upon the Ndigbo by the means of various governmental machinations, it would amount to display of stark ignorance for Igbo son or daughter to vote for Buhari.

Politics is not limited to party manifestos and individual promises. It also lingers toward the deeds of certain individuals vying for position of authority in any given society. The actions of Mohammadu Buhari immensely contributed to senseless massacre of innocent citizens of Nigeria mainly of Igbo extraction in northern region of Nigeria from 1966 and beyond.

ndu_chucks:

I'd appreciate if you would back up the claim in blue text above with some specifics - I mean verifiable specifics and not some made-up conjecture. What specifically was Buhari's contribution between 1966 -1982, or would you like to revise your timeline?

odumchi:

Jonathan has won this election. I am sure he has total support in : Abia, Enugu, Kaduna, Rivers, Bayelsa , Delta , IMO , Anambra, Ebonyi, Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom. That's nearly 45 % of Nigerias population already.

jason123:

That's a lie.

I suppose you has the proof then?
