"The Political Dilemma Of The Igbos And Relations With The Yorubas" By Dr Chimaroke Nnamani

Chimaroke Nnamani MD, FACOG. @ChimarokeNamani

The Igbo Dilemma in Nigeria's current political dispensation. When faced with times like these. Proverbial Fish bone in the throat. Do you regurgitate? Or use a morsel of foo foo to push it down. The tragedy of a Grandma with a broken waist. How do you lift her?

16 years straight Northern rule of Multi Ethnic Nigeria. There are 250 ethnic groups and double that, 500 language groups in Nigeria. Or a Moslem Moslem led Multi-Ethnic Nigeria with an Oduduwa son at the apex. As always Nigeria's National election is about the National Question.

A National Question on the Nigeria project,16 years domicilation of Nigeria's Presidency in Northern Nigeria. A question in light of accepted norms,culture,history, habit and FairPlay practices of power oscillation between Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria in her politics.

The Ethnic question for the Igbo looms large. How do we approach the gates of our Political Damascus? The Igbo Political City of Lights on a Hill, shiningly, resplendent in the blaze of the Glory of the, Trinity of our Igbo Mythology and World view?

Njepu (Sojourning) Igbambo ( Struggle) and Ako na Uche also described as Akpa Uche (Cot of Reason). This Trinity of our Character, our Igbo forebears have applied, since making contact with the Portuguese in 1443.

Europeans described, forest vegetation dwelling Africans around the Bight of Biafra. The Dutch, the English, French came. Subsequently with Bible in one hand and the gun in the other hand. Pillaging our Nation for resources to drive their early primitive economy.

Subterfuge through exploration, exchanging spices, clothes, ornaments and all. Subsequently Gun boat diplomacy conquest of West Niger Igbo. Full throttle trade in our Bodies, the able and non able. And shipment to the new land to fertilize their cotton, rubber, potatoes and land resource. We served at homes, Igbo mothers providing their backs,and energy to nurture their young ones. Igbo maidens in their voluptuous allure, and beauty sired by their youth for pleasure and their elderly men for leisure.

Igbo continued their Igbambo provided Okra,"garri"and other innovative food items. Igbo introduced culinary implements including Pestle and Mortar. Our music was not left out. And in periods of realism and sobriety our lost brethren resorted to music and dance. And with it came our musical instruments.

Our brethren transported their well known republicanism and fervent Palaver to the new Land. Associated with the Igbo Landing in Glynn County Georgia in 1803. At the infamous or rather Famous Dunbar Creek in St. Simons Island, on learning of the reason for their grueling transAtlantic crossing, the Igbo immediately overpowered their Abusers and traders in humans, took control of their enslavers' ship, killed the American Slave merchants.

The Igbo also walked into the open Atlantic drowning themselves on a spiritual journey back home to the Motherland. 1791 in Saint-Domingue now known as Haiti, a settlement of slaves of Igbo origin mounted an insurrection, a war of independence, that ended in Victory from the French in 1804.

I return to the National Question of the proverbial lifting of grandma with a broken waist.16 years straight residency of political power and fulcrum of Federal Government in Northern Nigeria is horrendously troubling to many.

Rt Hon. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, an American Sojourner like myself and Rt Hon. Dr Micheal Iheonukara Okpara, when faced with the spectre of continuous Northern Regional domination in a Federated Nigeria, they went West ward. They extended a Handshake across the Niger to the Tribe that supply the Kolanuts, that the Igbo venerate. The adopted tribe of my American benefactor, teacher, mentor and Patron Saint Emeritus Professor Larry Longo. Deep in their psyche was embedded the knowledge of shared Language Etymology between Yoruba and Igbo.

The Igbo political love story with Yoruba, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Herbert Badmus Macaulay, Samuel Akinsaya, Adegoke Adelabu Penkelemesi, Adeniran Ogunsanya and others. Micheal Okpara, Obafemi and Hannah Awolowo. Fajuyi using his Yoruba life to pay for Ironsi Igbo life.

Social love story of Subomi Balogun and Alexander Ekwueme. While others seized and appropriated Igbo properties during Nigeria versus Biafra War. Yoruba tended to Igbo properties and assets, returned them in full with change, promptly and unsolicited 2nd quarter, 1970.

Life is so hard,it can bring sorrow & sadness to many.Political isolation,victimization and marginalization,even when self inflicted,possibly from poor judgement is a harrowing dilemma.Winston Churchill wrote, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Spanish philosopher George Santayana is credited with the aphorism, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” History for the Igbo mythologically tells him where the rains started beating him and provides insights into the present and even the future.

Not a bad read. No matter how much blame we shove on the faces of the white man, who still use his own way to exploit us one way or the other, we must ask ourselves why we always let tribal and religious sentiment guide our thinking.

All this waste of intellectual energy because you want to support a bat
I'm for Biafra
Before that, let the Negroids keep slaving you Negroes

Igbo people voted for Obasanjo. Obasanjo no be Yoruba man? 2003 elections when Ojukwu contested, Igbo people still gave Obasanjo, a Yoruba man majority of their votes.

Why is Tinubu another Yoruba man saying 'it's the turn of Yoruba''?

If you like go and lick the ass of Tinubu. Any blackmail against Igbo people is dead on arrival.
Facts speak for itself.

Today, igboland is reaping the tragic rewards for that blunder, with tears, pain, sorrow, and blood, flowing freely in Alaigbo.

So what are the north reaping for voting Buhari? Bokoharam onslaught, Iswap carnage, bandits on the loose.

It's ridiculous how your Messiah Buhari cannot save your northern region but Southeast is your migraine.

Fact is that southeast is safer than north.

Terrorists are doing promo in northern Nigeria.

No where in southeast has 100 people being kidnapped in one fell swoop.

Hundreds kidnapped in Zamfara https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56188727

Another hundred + kidnapped in Abuja- Kaduna train

Show me a news where hundreds of students were kidnapped in southeast and I will vote for Tinubu.


See terrorists killing hundreds in one fell swoop in Zamfara. https://punchng.com/how-zamfara-terrorists-invaded-our-villages-killed-over-200-burnt-houses-survivors/


According to your understanding blood is flowing in Igboland, while milk and honey are flowing in northern Nigeria.

PETER CHRYSOLOGUS words capture your personality.

"Hypocrisy is a subtle evil, a secret illness, a hidden poison; it is an adulteration of virtue and a worm that consumes sanctity. All things hostile mount their assault with their own strength, fight with their own arms, and attack openly.
They are guarded against as easily as they are seen.
Hypocrisy pretends to be free of danger, feigns prosperity, deceives carefully, and in its cruel craft lops off the virtues with virtue as its sword; it kills fasting by fasting, by praying it makes praying empty, and it.debases mercy by mercy.
Hypocrisy, like a fever, boils up within while being cold without. What dropsy is for the body, hypocrisy is for the soul.

No one takes Nnamani serious.

No truer words have ever been spoken by an Igbo leader!!

They will still curse, insult, and reveal the underbelly of their age long creed- to HATE everything and everyone we can't dominate.

Igbos have allowed the loss of Jonathan, (a Niger Deltan, a people who long moved on from the loss their very own son suffered at the polls), and one little ignorant illiterate called Kanu, to ruin their psyche.

Today, igboland is reaping the tragic rewards for that blunder, with tears, pain, sorrow, and blood, flowing freely in Alaigbo.

Chimaroke spoke in parables with a touch of historical antecedents. He who has a ear let him hear.

Look up, they are already hovering over, tearing up the veins in their heads in hate.
Political miscalculation, political wilderness, political blindness seem to be their prominent realities.

His opinion is irrelevant as long as South East affairs is concerned.

He can continue to asslick his partner in Crime Tinubu. Nobody Cares!

Bastard!!! When are you going to be man and face the killing going in Benue ? Which reward is Benue state reaping for Voting Buhari ?

Fulani bandits are exterminating your people on a daily basis and you talking nonsense.

Such a Coward!! You are too useless just like your Governor Ortom.

Very useless essay. I guess the OBJ presidency we gave block votes in 1999 & 2003 is not Yoruba. The American university which you graduated from didn't tell you that... "he who comes to equity must come with clean hands?".


I give zero flying fvck with whoever you decides to support, is your fundamental human right but trying to mix the Igbo interest in the Nigerian question with that of your personal agenda/interest is dead on arrival...only a political teenager will not know that you're fighting for senate president under the muslim-muslim ticket...


Talking about returning the properties of Ndigbo after the war yet you refused to tell us that Awolowo intiated the 20~pounds economic policy which further impoverished Ndigbo...

All this sermon is for what?
To vote for Tinubu?
Peter Obi is the best candidate to vote for.

Very deep coming from Senator Chimaroke Nnamani. The wisdom of sensible elders like Nnamani should be tapped by the youthful generation of Igbos who only know how to hate and insult everyone else.

Chimaroke Nnamani’s message is very clear; In politics, we must always place pragmatism over emotional reasoning and empty chest beating. A word like they say is enough for the wise. Thank you distinguished Senator Chimaroke Nnamani for choosing sensible engagement and bridge building over an unrealistic and utopian political bubble that is doomed for failure.

As expected. True to type, they can't act otherwise.

I honestly don't blame you, that's simply how you were raised. Your parents must be very proud of you, knowing how good you are identifying bastards.

There were two Yoruba men on the ballot, who would you rather vote for?
Yoruba presented Olu Falae, a seasoned Economist, an experienced public Administrator, a civilian, a democrat who was a total departure from the stronghold of military but you chose OBJ who was the choice of the establishment, from military dictatorship to military democracy.
You voted a Yoruba man but never the Yoruba choice.

Never

Some day, Igbos will get their independence from Nigeria and then you can finally stop this unity begging

Very dull boy at 45. Dont you feel sorry for your life, sounding like a dyslexic troll all the time?

Using grammatical gymnastics to confuse himself and his fellow APC buffoons and likeminds.

Ask him to come on the podium and regurgitate this boring prose word for word, and see him stammer and stutter like my grandfather's antiquated Triumph motorcycle.

If he wants to be a creative writer, he should be willing to pay yours truly N10 billion from his loot and I will verily tutor him on how to entice and elicit the imagination of his readers, while keeping them hypnotically engaged till the last of word of his piece.


The ebe-ano m0ron communicated zilch and should stop trying hard to sound like Shakespeare.

Chimaroke Criminal Nnamani is the last person that will advise Igbo on politics.

He is not relevance and popular. Outside Enugu state, Nobody knows him.

If you come to Imo or Anambra and mention Chimaroke nnamani. They will tell whether it is the name of a dog or goat

When bastards like you from Igboland leave Lagos n SW n face Ipob esn Fulani killing in the East.
