Why did igbos Elites Silent of what are happening in South East ? by dignity33: 1:18pm On May 20, 2021
Until we igbos stop being a nationalist like other ethnic group in Nigeria and start being more of regional than family we can not achieve equity in Nigeria Governance. We have to unite like other ethnic group in Nigeria and fight our battle like others do and stop thinking all about our state but igbos . I have being following happening in Nigeria base on the way other two major tribe do things to compare with we igbo, our approaches are total different in this one Nigeria things. Take for instance all this happening starting from Obigbo to Orlu how many igbos prominent Elite has stood to publicly criticize it even so called media houses own by igbos are silent on that issues, except Aberibe which is a tree that can't make a forest . Igbo have prominent recognizable individuals in Nigeria and globally more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria but we rather mind there daily business than standing for his people when they are being persecuted and because of that mentality we are being exploited by others to there advantages . Aberibe is not only igbo in the House, where are Igbos governors and where are prominent igbos in Nigerian and abroad what happened to there voices? today we are being shortchanged in every forms of governance and infrastructural development in Nigeria of which our forefather are major stakeholders. Now killing, raping and maiming of igbos is the order of days in Southeastern Nigeria and every igbos remain quite, can we used because of Nnamdi Kanu attitude and allowed our people being slaughtered like a fowl, what if Nnamdi Kanu is not who we think he is? we should as a matter of urgent stop thinking about ourselves or our state but watch each others back like others ethnic group do. Look at people like Ezekwesiri , Charlyboy who will lead every form of protest when it concern other ethnic group in Nigeria. what have they done in what is happening in Southeast? Today igbos have no person among the leaders of Securities in Nigeria. No International Airport among the 5 just approve International airport . The railways project that were ongoing across Nigeria no one is being sighted anywhere in Southeast or is it a port ? what is stoping our great people in mobilizing a Nationwide protest across Nigeria, Igbos can cripple Nigeria Economic for two days in protest of Injustice and marginalization. why are we silent on the issues that concerns igbos but will rendered most of our voices when it concerns other ethnic group, can you see that we are more of our problem in Nigerian. Do you think that Yoruba or Hausas we remain silent if such injustice are being perpetuated to them?

if you have nothing reasonable to comment better keep your fingers inside your pocket. Because your ethnic group is favoured doesn't mean you do not have eye to know that igbos are being marginalized.

So igbos should leave how God created them and start copying others?

Or they should lose their identity to impress others?

You obviously know nothing... as evident in your post.

You get it wrong my brother. Do you know that igbos in Nigeria and abroad can actually do something to create awareness. We not Biafra yet and Nigeria today belong to all of us, igbos pay taxes more than any tribe in Nigeria why should we remain silent in everything happening around us.

U are ignorant of the way Nigeria is structured ....most igbo leaders are practically hand picked by north so they can't mess up

How many igbo politicians can win election without inec and police backing ( they are the ones that speak up ) ...go against north and watch them withdraw support living u isolated and that's the end of your political career

That's y we need an igbo Nation were we ourselves control police n inec

I think you very wrong, Governors are Elected by the state even if some election are rigged just like other state in Nigeria . The question are does others tribe stop speaking up for there people just because of political careers?

Boss Nigeria as it is currently structured hugely unduely favours the North and South West.

Even South South that usually lays the golden was neglected for decades and still being neglected as we speak.

If every region is carried along and fairly treated, then there will be less agitated cries of marginalisation.

This is not about deserving punishment as a fallout of losing out on previous presidential election or supporting opposition party.

Using the amount of votes cast for APC or PDP during presidential election to justify the act of deciding whether to favour or neglect a region is pure EVIL.

You are obviously just arriving from Jupiter.
You want Igbos to protest? You you unapologetically not Igbo
Your headline generalized all Igbos but your write up addressed the elites.
What exactly do you want Igbos to do? Call out our politicians? Well we have done that
Has it yielded any fruit? Not at all. Do we still regard them? Obviously not.
We are truly Igbos in unison address your worries to Igbo politicians.
There's only so much an average Igbo man can do.
Our foes are waiting to laugh at us but we are biding our time

Oga forget kanu. Why don't you start the protest and awareness abi is any person born to be an activist.

Secondly u are right lgbo leaders are sell outs, but wrong that they are alone. Nigerdelta leaders are sell outs that's why they receive only 13%. While zamfara keeps 100% proceed from gold.

South west leaders are sell outs that's why despite hosting two major seaports and airport that controls 70% traffic, yet all these organisations are dominated by northern folks. Ask urself if ports and int airport were in north, would sw dominate it.

Middle belt is the agricultural basket of the nation but their leaders pretend that the herdsmen crisis is not happening. They refuse to speak out. So it's not just lgbo leaders who are idiots

They are waiting for Yoruba gboromiros to speak on their behalf while they turn around to mock and hate on Yorubas.

Everyone must carry their cross going forward. If your elites and media houses like, they should keep quiet till they kill y'all in SE, that's your luck.
