*The crime of that tribe must be so great.*

In 1966: Nearly 1,000,000 of them were massacred in the North as revenge killings for a coup that was plotted by a young man that bears their name but had never been to their land.

They escaped back to their homeland and wanted a country of their own, but they were told that they must belong to one indivisible Nigeria

For three years, they resisted and lost another 3,000,000 of their kith and kin who were fed to the vultures. Their entire homeland was a killing field, they were killed, and they were starved. Kwashiorkor finished up their starving children. Many of their wives and daughters were raped and some were taken into forced marriages.

After three years of annihilation, the genocide ended. The few that were still alive crept out of their holes and re-embraced the country that has massacred them without a just cause.

To return to the country, they were economically stripped of their remaining dignity and offered only £20 (₦40) each in exchange for their money they had in the banks before the war broke out ....millionaires before the war restarted life with £20 (₦40). They did not complain, they accepted their fate and reintegrated with all.

Within a short while, the country embarked on an indigenization policy which enabled many of their South Western, South-South and Northern brothers to buy up major multi-nationals at a giveaway price... but with £20 (₦40) in their pockets, they could only watch .... those that owned houses in the big cities lost their homes to the criminal policy of 'Abandoned property' as enacted by some states aimed at committing official stealing.

In the civil service, the policy of the quota system made it impossible for many of them to be accepted back into their former jobs ... In trying to get a quality education for their children; the policy of giving admission to children from educationally disadvantaged states, saw their children score so high at entrance exams but locked out from most of the Federal Government Colleges and universities; even though they were coming from war and for three years did not have any functional school system, they were still categorized as educationally advantaged. 53 years after the war, the educationally disadvantaged states are still educationally disadvantaged and the Igbos are still blamed for everything and denied major government presence and projects.

Locked out of schools and locked out of public service, they embraced trading and other menial jobs that a man could do with his hands to feed his family. To survive, they spread out again to the big cities with memories of their dead ones and rundown homeland.

Everywhere they went, they lived frugally, sometimes, a master lived in his shop with his 5 boys until they made enough money to rent a one-room apartment.

Of all their brothers, the Yorubas were the most accommodating after the war and this made many of them quickly forget the pains of the war and settled down to play major roles in the development of the communities, in which they found themselves.

In their host communities, they never looked back in donating towards the building of schools, churches and whatever was required...Some even married the daughters of their hosts and some took titles. At drinking bars, you find Jide and Emeka drinking and laughing. At school, you find Ebube and Bisola reading and playing together as best of friends.

Soon, at the turn of the 90s, many of their town unions encouraged them to completely trust their hosts and join hands in opening up areas that were hitherto, uninhabited, especially the swamps and the mangroves....they bought swamps and the term 'sand filling' became popular, they bought thick mangrove forests and in mowing them down, they became Osuofia and the money coming from them, made their hosts happy because most of the places they bought and transformed had laid waste for years.

With vigour, they negotiated for lands to build markets, cleared the lands and built the markets and were happy to welcome state and local government tax and rate officials. If you slap them on one cheek, they gladly turned the other with a smile. When they build houses, they trust everything to their Yoruba builders, and even in their homeland, all their building projects were done by the Yoruba boys they have come to love and trust.


Then...
1999 came....all celebrated the re-emergence of democracy…
but gradually, a new anti-Igbo message started, but they ignored it because they have completely fallen in love with their host...

In 2014.....
The divisive politicians showed up in their numbers and made them; the Igbos the sacrificial lamb all over again...

Someone wrote somewhere and I agree with him completely that:
In 1993, the Igbos voted Abiola against Tofa who had an Igbo as Vice-President…

In 1999, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo en-block

Obasanjo is Yoruba

Obasanjo lost Yorubaland but scored 85%+ in Igbo land

In 2003, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo

Obasanjo scored 95% in some Igbo states

Obasanjo defeated Ojukwu in Igbo land.

In 2007, the Igbos voted for Yaradua

Yaradua was Hausa-Fulani

Yaradua scored his highest percentage of votes in Igbo land

In 2011, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan is Ijaw

Jonathan scored 95%+ in Igbo land

In 2015, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan scored a higher percentage in Igbo land than in the South-South Region

In 2019, the Igbos voted for Atiku

Atiku is Fulani

Atiku scored a higher percentage in Anambra than Adamawa

In 2023, the Igbos voted for Obi

Obi is Igbo

Once the Igbos voted Obi they became ethnic-bigots

Once the Igbo gave Obi what they had given to Shagari, Abiola, Obasanjo, Ya' Ardua, Jonathan and Atiku, Igbos became criminals.

My heart is very heavy as I pen down these few lines because I smell another pogrom aimed at Igbos loading and I can't see anyone stopping the genocidal messages spreading on many South-West and other platforms

... People are speaking of the coming Governorship election in Lagos on Saturday 11th March 2023 (now shifted to March 18th) as if it is a day that has been marked as D-Day for something very cold and un-Lagos.

And I ask again, what is the crime of the Igbos?

Some said Igbos claim to own Lagos and I laugh, someone who owns a place is buying land and paying tax and rents in the same place?

I am that ‘Kwashiorkored’ Igbo child (now 54) born in the war that you are trying to retrigger.

The dark clouds are gathering once again. Can someone please send this to all Igbo politicians who help in whipping up this anti-Igbo sentiments just for selfish political gains.
We know them and they know themselves.

Absolute nonsense. Keep wailing

@OP, calm down and take a glass of cold water.

Stop spreading false information that people are planning anything against igbos during the governorship election in lagos.

Lagos is not the only place where election is going to take place.

as for why igbos were not allowed to go their separate way, Nnamdi azikiwe caused it. He should be blamed for removing the secession clause from the Nigerian constitution

You've expressed my very fears. Another pogrom against Igbos is in the offing and no one wants to talk about it. I personally don't care who rules this country. Whether Igbos are in government or not, they will forever do well.

The Germans suffered more than the Igbos in Europe; vilified and blamed for almost everything bad and finally pushed into 2 world wars. But check; the Germans knew they were forever masters of Europe. They couldn't assert that militarily. But today, Germany has conquered Europe economically.

What the Igbo man should do is to leave politics and face his business. At the end, the Igbo man will still come out tops.

The igbos sees Gbadebo/chinedu Rhodes as their own. He possessed some characteristic natures of an average Igbo- hatred for yorubas and sympathetic to the Biafra / ipob course among others.

That is why they are pushing to take over from Sanwo olu. To them, they have conquered should Gbadebo becomes the governor of lagos

Don't even go their..

Lemme tell you a short history of why people don't trust yiibos. In 1966 they planned a coup and called a few northern and western soldiers to join to camo it as something national (the way they've been able to camo this obidient movement to fool those that are dense enough to be hoodwinked by them). In the coup itself, they killed all the regional heads and senior members from other regions, except their own (despite the fact that the president and head of parliament were from their region, and the head of the military was from their region). They killed all the senior military officers from the North, and preserve theirs (the head of the military was yiibo). Conveniently, power fell on the lap of the head of the military. This yiibo head then scrapped the regional system, and made it unitary (stayed same till today). Report said yiibos were taunting northerners for their loss in that coup (I tend to believe this allegation, from what I've noticed from the yiibos of this generation. They're bad lovers and terrible winners). And the yiibo head of state didn't deal decisively with the arrested coup plotters (showing their clannish nature). A combination of these sparked the genocide in the north at that time. This is the history.
Back to the present. Now, people wouldn't have been relating with yiibos based on this history, but for one reason; yiibos don't know when to stop with their tomfoolery. Their traditional lack of respect, and absolute delusion means they will always have friction with their hosts, which will always make the hosts remember what they did in 1966. Have you ever wondered why most of native/settler conflicts in Nigeria always involve them? Go figure.

[Don't mind them quote author=Godfullsam post=121674349]@OP, calm down and take a glass of cold water.

For your information, under the land use act, all land are under lease from the state for a maximum of 100 years. So you see how you are fooling yourself. Stop eyeing the fertile and rich lands of others. Embrace your muddy region.

I don't think anyother tribe can face what the igbos have faced and still bounced back in this short period of time...


Imagine how far the Igbo tribe would have gone if the war had not happened. It is difficult to bend an Igbo man by whips or guns. The did rather walk into the sea drowning than to be slaves.


Make Igbo man just go back em region focus on business and good governors and Igbo leaders...


In a few years the results will be out.

It's called comprehension back in primary school. You wouldn't have found it difficult to decipher my message if you ever went to school. Sorry, lazy youth.

Majority of the people that hate Igbos do it out of religious belief. It's only a mumu person that thinks he/she can ever please those hateful beings. They claim to practice a religion of peace but yet they all like voting wrong candidates and encourages decisive acts towards the south. It was quite unfortunate the amalgamation took place. Can Isreal and Iran ever become friends? If not for long throat of oil/gas some section of the country won't have anything to do with the south eastern region. From my observation, those accusing Igbos of hate are the most wicked and hateful creatures in Nigeria. Very primitive in reasoning and they carry their archaic reasoning to the national level. Yet disturbing everyone with one Nigeria slogan but turn around to hate. Smh.
