Peter Obi is the first and only Igbo presidential candidate in Nigeria’s history whose acceptance transcended the narrow confines of his ethnic cocoon. Not even the great Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe came remotely close to Obi’s relatively wide pan-Nigerian appeal. 1 Like 1 Share |

Igbophobia or not, the Igbo are free independent people with self intuitive reasoning and political assertion. They are not easily goaded into following the crowd because of political correctness or survival. Buhari did worst but the North kept on voting him till they leagued with the SW to give Nigeria the disaster it has today. "...In fact, if there are Nigerians that can be exonerated they are the people of the Southeast and South-south; but the North and the Southwest are responsible for our problems today under this regime. I said it right from the beginning that Buhari is not competent and therefore cannot lead. Now, we are crying. It was our shortsightedness. People did not behave the way they are supposed to behaved when Buhari was looking for power...."

Racoon I hope you take the lesson from the Article and don't twist the narrative as usual. The article summary is that people shouldn't blame Igbos for supporting Obi because they felt he is the closest they have had to presidency in a democratic settings in a long time, it also advise igbos like Racoon the Op of this thread to Dial down the rhetorics and stop bullying others for not accepting Obi because it will only reinforce people's hate of Igbos 3 Likes 1 Share |

The article still concludes with the stark reality: Obi was so poor as a governor. He only enjoyed that blind support because of his two convenient identities, both of which he was born with without his choice: being an Igbo and a Christian. At the end, relying on only these two identities woefully failed him. Congratulations to Asiwaju!!! 4 Likes |

Iamgrey5:Guess you read that; "Igbo voters voted for Obi in unusually large numbers because of his unexampled acceptance outside the bounds of Igboland. Given that Nigeria has never had an Igbo president, it’s unreasonable to accuse them of bigotry for their choice. Any demographic group with the same circumstances as the Igbo would do the same." Obi’s support was reasonably pan-regional, certainly more pan-regional than the support any Igbo politician has ever had. It would be unreasonable to expect Igbo people to not rally around such a politician. If other people accept him, what reason do they have to reject him?" |

Iamgrey5:Sorry sir. You don't tell me what to take because everyone of us have our different worldviews, perceptions and analytical skills. We don't feel the elephant from the same side. Mr Farooq Kperogi seems to be warped in this write up to portray the Igbo race as a being demonised because of their political choice in voting overwhelming for Peter Obi. Same happened to the North but they ended giving Nigeria a monumental disaster in Buhari. |

Iamgrey5:What we're you lots thinking whenTinubu was shouting emilokan? Just imagine the sham of an election that throw him up as president-elect. Would warped reasoning, parochial, and ethno-religious supremacist sentiments allowed you to accept him were he an Igbo man? Meanwhile, If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don’t forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago.The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed."Nigeria: Yoruba Nation in a Mess, General Adeyinka Adebayo Writes Tinubu." https://allafrica.com/stories/201606220197.html |

This country is really suffering from the igbo problem according to chinua Achebe. When Buhari had a violent mob who murdered yorubas corpers after losing election, yorubas followed him to benefit from his "cult like folliwership in the North". But they are here wailing about Obi supporters |

The Yorubas and the Hausas are yet to vote a competent and agile president into power. They're easily manipulated and are afraid to say No when it matters. |

Nonetheless, the extreme political violence in the name of Obi that is now pervading the Southeast needs to stop because it can only add fuel to the fire of Igbophobia nationwide. Which extreme political violence exists in the South East? This charlatan likes to talk nonsense If you want political violence, look towards Benue that has had three waves of massacres by Fulani herdsmen since the Presidential elections But of course nobody will talk about that because it is Fulani |

Another igbophobia bigoted thread, nicely laced with patronage, sponsored by Jonathan, Wike and Tinubu, with the aim to ram a failed Tinubu presidency down the throats of Nigerians. Farooq should not bother himself with Nigerians. They are not the problem of a dead on arrival Tinubu presidency. Its the global political powerbrokers he should be pleading to. |

All that is needed to change to tide of events is for Obidients to elect LP governors in the whole of South eastern , South Southern and Middle belt states, plan their trade , business , manufacturing, exports togetherness all this rubbish of coming to Lagos and be insulted will end in wailings. Alternatively Obidients can do it in the south eastern parts of the country, join effort to build Obuaku port ,fund manufacturing in Aba, agriculture hub in ebonyi, a software industry in owerri, commercial hub in onitsha and exports via Obuaku port and ever insult and genocidal threats will turn that igbos rarely invest outside the eastern hub |
