Igbo Must Go: Tinubu’s Enemies Crave,and Promote Yoruba Hegemony. by TonyRazor(m): 8:15am On Aug 07 |
Igbo Must Go: Tinubu’s enemies crave,and promote Yoruba hegemony. I am Dr, Elder Chike Obidigbo (Osisioma) I once again call for the attention of President Tinubu and several well meaning Yorubas and other Nigerians on the misguiged activities of some unrepentant Yoruba ethnic bigots, championing the ejection of Igbo from Lagos and entire Yoruba land. Their agitation is now becoming very clear,very loud, very threatening, and with no meaningful and convincing official reprimand or any security challenges. It is very unfortunate that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has become surrounded by ethnic bigots and political riffraffs, who believe that Yoruba would be better off without the contributions of citizens from other parts of Nigeria,probably ignorant of the fact that the succes of any administration must be rooted in cooperation and collaboration with allies,from other camps. It should be recalled that recently, an X (formerly Twitter) user with the handle, LagosPedia, had threatened to start a massive protest from August 20th to 30th, 2024, under the hashtag #IgboMustGo#, to compel Igbo out of Lagos State and by extension, all of Yoruba land. This announcement by #LagosPedia did not come as a total surprise, because it is a reflection of the body language of some political rabble rousers that are unfortunately loyal to the President of the Federal Republic of all Nigeria. It must be noted that while Igbo from mainly South Eastern,and other parts of Nigeria are not without homeland, our decision to see every part of Nigeria as home is in the spirit and letter of the country’s Constitution,so must never be used against us. Rather,it should be considered a big positive to the desired unity of the country. At this point in time, it has become necessary for the promoters of #IgboMust go to be reminded that Igbo have neither been soldiers of occupation nor economic parasites,in any part of the world they find themselves. If these ethnic hirelings think that the only way they could be productive to themselves and their environment is to execute xenophobia attack on Igbo, they are widely mistaken. It is on record that from 1967 to 1970 Igbo,with her treasured neighbours desired a nation of their own and till today their youths have renewed the agitation for a referendum to undergird Nigerians’ resolve to remain one nation. The agitation is still very valid till date,so,Instead of these veiled threats, those behind #LagosPedia should prevail on their principals to consider more civilised ways of achieving that same goal,with less rancour and bitterness. I have personally and convincingly stated that Nigeria as a country is far too large for one black man, with our low exposure level, and low mental capability to manage successfully and profitably. Since this agitation is becoming a recurring decimal will it then not be better for all separatist agitators, including their silent supporters to initiate civilised methods of dismembering this contraption called our country. Given the boldness and effrontery of #LagosPedia to articulate and set a date to begin #IgboMustGo protest, the salient implication of the pronouncement is not lost on well-meaning Igbo. And we are ready to oblige the sponsors if they come out in a more civilised manner. It is most unfortunate that younger Nigerians are being schooled to mistake divisive rhetoric as real politic. Right from the 2019 general elections up until now, exclusion of Igbo from Nigeria in all ramifications,has become an easy plea to divert attention from the malaise plaguing the country as a whole. Igbo had been threatened with possible massive drowning in the Lagoon if they voted according to their God-given conscience and against the dictates of potentates. The violence and threats got to a dizzying height during last year’s elections,when homes and business premises of Igbo have been targeted and destroyed under many guises and policies,while government agencies and security outfits looked the other way,and in some cases openly participating in the atrocious treatments. In all these vengeful and punitive measures against Igbo in a country where they are true bonafides, nobody remembers that Igbo make positive contributions to the development of their areas of residence. Not long ago, even our venerated Prof. Wole Soyinka of all persons, expressed the hope that Mr. Peter Obi does not bother to contest the 2027 presidential election. As if that was not enough, a Presidential spokesman ,Bayo Onanuga,another Yoruba elite blatantly and with no valid proof accused the former Anambra State governor Mr Obi of sponsoring the ongoing nationwide hardship protest, just to serve the same purpose of ethnic baiting of Igbo. Ndigbo wanted to participate in the on going nationwide hunger protest. They became automatically profiled. They decided to withdraw, they became stigmatised. Where then lies Igbo comfort inside Nigeria? With President Tinubu as Commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, some of his foot soldiers in Lagos believe that Igbo constitute his only obstacle to perpetual control of the country. I, for one, think that time has come for the powers that be to come out and issue an executive order pronouncing a separate nation for the Igbo,instead of all these unwarranted wranglings that often lead to avoidable destructions, sometimes, bloodshed. Once more,I call on our respected Elder President Tinubu, and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo Olu to show in more practical ways that they are not in support of the ongoing profiling of Igbo in Lagos and the rest of Yoruba. They must not allow anti-social elements in their midst to throw Nigeria into another avoidable conflict. Two brothers must not be allowed to fight to the death, because strangers will share their inheritance. Finally, President Tinubu should be advised that the absence of his enlightened former allies like Babatunde Fashola, Aregbesola and Kayode Fayemi could be what has given this room for ethnic bigots to misguide and damage his statesmanlike disposition we were all very proud of. |

Tinubu is a unifier at heart; he knows that true progress comes from collaboration, not division. Let’s focus on building bridges instead of walls. Unity is our strength, and it must be our priority! 12 Likes 1 Share |

They said the Yorubas are chronic unity beggers, Yorubas then said "Okay, leave" but here they are crying and writing long essays to justify why they wouldn't leave. Even this yeye Statesman said the Igbo youths still have the spirit of Biafra in them, why not use this opportunity to push the agitation forward?. This indeed shows that Igbo people are all mouth with no voices. Instead of writesup, leave and startup a glorious country of the rising sun. An agitation that will yield milk and honey. If the protest will be holding on the 20th of August, I will be there with my placard. Let all of us safeguard what's ours. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Tinubu will never heed, he is the master bigot himself Let them go ahead with the protest at least Igbo elites will buy into the Biafra ideology for the first time just like the common Igbo man on the street,obviously they will be the most affected because of their wide spread businesses in Lagos and other southwestern States I am sick and tired of living with these bigoted,envious,jealous and confused Agbadorians they want igbos to leave their land but don't want them to have Biafra neither here nor there, they are full time jokers. the day igbos Leave the southwest en mass is the day Biafra will be born I think its time. 1 Like |

Tinubu needs to address this matter with urgency. The unity of Nigeria depends on collaboration, not division. Let’s all remember that every tribe contributes to our nation's progress. We must rise above these sentiments and work together! 10 Likes |

You yorubas should be very careful not to make igbos angry, if igbos get angry then igbos will give yorubas quite notice in south eastern Nigeria (Yorubas Must Leave South East Nigeria, #YorubasMustGo#) If any igbo person is ask to leave Lagos, Yorubas in south eastern Nigeria will also be asked to leave south eastern Nigeria, just as the saying goes an "an eye for an eye" 2 Likes |

Seunex2:We're not Yorubas. Tell you president brother to make presidential declaration that Igbos are no longer part of your Nigeria. We know those always crying when dey hear division . But if you think Igbos will be afraid and leave their properties for criminals to steal them think again because we are waiting for you in south west. Try nonsense and see the outcome. 1 Like

The truth is, those crying for division are just scared of progress. Tinubu is all about unity and lifting everyone up. Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa, we all have a role to play in this great nation. Let’s focus on building bridges, not walls. |
