I don't know ur tribe but all I see is sentiment in ur view regarding last election
We choose to suport our brother who has right for second term
He was not doing bad for us to abandon him rather some people thinks they are not in the shceam of things decide to spread lies. Against him which every nigeriians has see
Buhri if he is wise he will not listen to those that told him to use number of votes in his appointments. We igbos are not flexable like others if we support u we stand by u to the last

focus7:
The Igbos hatred for Buhari is not a new thing, one word that is synonymous with the igbos is hate, the hate instinct exist even among themselves, what is known as serious animosity lives among the Igbos as a community. This is the reason we tagged them as the children of hate and pain.

[b]Am not used to calling people names - but this OP is an Anuofia.
I have no particular love for Jonathan as He is a very weak person with a massive inferiority complex who shouldn't have found his way into Nigeria's number one sit under normal circumstances. But Nigeria is an abnormal Nation thats why Obasanjo invariably foisted him on us via Yaradua. But even with all Jonathan's personal shortcomings, he tried his best. I voted for Jonathan in the last election because Nigeria is an abnormal Nation which limited my choice to the lesser evil amongst the duo.

I also had no particular love nor hate for Buhari. But he had been in public office for a number of occassions and even became a military leader once. In all of those occassion, unfortunately his ethnic bigotary is legendary.
Though I didnt vote for Buhari but I realy prayed that he succeeds especially in fighting corruption to a standstill where Jonathan absolutely failed in that regard.

And you abnormally lost your vote.
Sentiment is all I could see in your comment. You knew Jonathan was a weak President & that he shouldn't have been a Governor not to talk of been a President & you went ahead to trust him with another 4 years through your vote. What exactly do you want for Nigeria?.
If majority of Nigeria voters have been feeble minded like you, do you wonder what this country would be in another 4 years of Jona reign?

Sealeddeal:
Op is a foolish man
How can he claim that Igbo nation rejected Buhari in 2003 and 2007 when it is generally known that the votes of the masses never counted in those occasions. Can it also be claimed that Igbo nation rejected Ojukwu in 2003 when he could not win any Igbo state that year? Can he also claim that Anambrarians rejected Peter Obi that year when Chris Ngige was declared winner?
Igbo nation never hated Buhari prior to 2011. Post 2011 election cost Buhari his support from East and not just Igbo nation. The subsequent killings and the feeling that increased Boko haram attacks which he initially supported to frustrate GEJ made him to lose his support from East as a whole.

In one of my reflections, I had wondered why APGA, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other Igbo groups were so quick to endorse President Jonathan for a second term mandate. The answer is greed. Mr Jonathan never inspired anyone, and if he ever loved Ndigbo, he would not have left the Igbo land in a worst state than he met it.

You are not only on this course. I have received rains of insult because, I have argued that our leaders are not telling the truth. Simply put, they are angry because they have lost from the political equation. Like you rightly put what have done for the Igbo nation when there are within the political space. Nothing except enriching their pockets.
I have argued what we need is for our political class to scale down their greedy and have passion for the common Igbo man not Biafra.

Lolz...


Baba...if u don't know...a lot of Yoruba people hate Jonathan so much..

See guy...this one is not just mere say... I know what I'm saying. I mingled with lot of Yoruba people during campaign. The manner they hated Jonathan and voiced it out was alarming bro... And what was the crime...they said he didn't carry them along and that he didn't give them juicy positions..

My brother...some corpers conducted elections, discuss with them and hear how voters reacted in different regions.. I av always said it...two set of people that will tell u how elections move in Nigeria are corpers and policemen...

So... Why is everyone against Igbo people when they act naturally? Till this date.. Many Yoruba leaders still hate Jonathan..all becus they feel he didn't give Yoruba people juicy positions... Some of them speak on national TV and newspapers.. Most of them hated his position on Lagos..

My brother...Nigeria runs a party system based politics... There are good candidates in other parties but most ppl in Nigeria vote based on party. Igbos didn't vote for Buhari and it is not a new thing...other regions have done so too. Don't know why Igbo things are over reacted upon in this country.
To ma best of understanding, Jonathan carried many regions along, especially northern region not minding the hatred and attacks that came from the north during his campaign.

When Jonathan was to campaign.. Many politics unfolded... Some people didn't hate him that much during his first campaign becus they felt he was under agreement not to run for second term.. When it became obvious that he was going to run for it...the hatred started..


Why can't u ppl leave Igbo people alone in this country? I just don't understand... They want to leave Nigeria...una no greeee ... They want good positions...una no greeee.. They decided to express their anger....una no greeee... They talk about how they av survived decades of neglects and lack of political will to support a potentially driven region, una condemn them...they decided to show support to someone who , may be , tried for them a bit...una still dey attack them...

My brother...igbos are not foolish..I am a Nigerian and I av travelled to all the regions in this country.. U can hardly hear Igbo people condemn Obasanjo ... He carried everyone around. Go to south east...people hardly condemn obasanjo..they even have Nick name for him.. Igbos don't condomn Yara Dua too..becus he was a wise leader and carried everyone alone... Mind u...some igbo people rate Yaradua ahead of Jonathan.. Jonathan is not Igbo.. Igbos hate those who cheat.

Abeg..make una free Igbo people Jareee....

I just wish these very successful Igbo men home and away can come together...team up and create a development based agency...and contribute financial assets to it and embarck on massive developmental projects in the south east and forget whatsoever that happens in the country. I hate senseless reasoning..

Once again I will comment on this post so other Nigerians will not believe all igbos support corruption. I am a full blooded igbo and this writer is spot on. He is very correct in his analysis.

The average igbo politician is one greedy creature, accomplishments are the number of houses he built. This disease is so deep that even the youth of the community points to him as haaving been blessed by God since he won election.

I have lived and worked in SE, SS, SW, NC and NE of this country. Every regionhas their corrupt leaders but the difference is that SW will tell their own thieves to their face that they are thieves. My brothers in SE will celebrate the loot and call the thieve 'our son'.

This is a disgrace.

Not in my name!

Goodluck was adopted because of the access of igbo leaders to Dollars. No principle, no strategy. Look at SE states and observe how leadershipwas transferred. Except for anambra others were handed over to people worse than their predecessors. Compare with Lagos where it is obvious that their is a list somewhere of competent managers who are thrown up to lead the state. What we have in the SE is politics of business. where the biggest moneybag buys the office.

As usual once I write some unexposed people will start questioning my igboness. you need to mix up.

The lastest shame is when cases of morals are in court eg forgery, the defense is that 'our son is being persecuted'. this is disgraceful

Not in my name. I am a proud igbo boy. I dont condone fraud.

Hello Arresa, I am supposing you are a south westerner. I don't think south easterners hate Buhari because of corruption. Corruption hasn't helped the average man on the street and believe me, the hate for Buhari in the east is common even to that extent.

Rather, I think it is because it is the believe of the south easterner that he is hated by the northerner. Since the civil war and subsequent massacres of the east indigenes. The Easterner has come to the conclusion that he is hated by the northerner, and what better way to pay back a percieved enemy if not by their own coin? The Easterner has in turn hated the Northerner. This article is wrong and largely mis-informing. I do not know why the southwest meddles into this. The real hate and tribalism is between the East and the North, I think.

Has Buhari appointed a South Easterner into any major position. I would like to know, with prove. Thank you.

PS: kindly respond objectively.

First there is no Igbo that agrees with the post. All you see are yoruba claiming igbo. amaechi1 is an example.

Secondly, thank you for the post. Also remember UK released the names of the most corrupt Nigerian politicians and last i checked, not one single igbo made the list. In addition, you forgot to mention Nnamdi Kanu hated GEJ and even urged people to stay home and not vote at all for either politicians during the last election.

All I see is a nation using igbo are their escape goat for every terrible sh1t they put themselves in and igbos are FED up with it. We rather be by ourselves. Let the saints enjoy their Nigeria by themselves. The f2k is their problem? I would think a nation which blames igbo for everything will rejoice when that set would wish to leave them by themselves, instead we see them gallivating

arresa:

To start with, the writer referenced Igbo people hating the North, but Igbo people hate anythig nd everything that's not from their region.

They are not friends to the North or even the SW.

Every state in Nigeria is a sad recipient of the of the National decay and neglect by the federal government, but many states moved on to better things on their own while the SE state leaders point fingers and yell hate needlessly when in fact this is about their incompetent leaders.


In life they always tell us not to start what we can not finish.

1. Before independence, against sense and wisdom, the SE loved the North and teamed up with the North to rule Nigeria

2. The SE then slaughtered military and political leaders from the north and the SW unprovoked

3. The military turned it's cheeks and even made an Igbo man the next head of state after Igbo men slaughtered their leaders

4. The North expected the new head of state to do the right thing by punishing the killers which in the military means execution, but the Igbo head of state instead of doing the right thing decided to play tribalism and refused to even slap the killers on the wrist.

5. To make matters worse, the Igbo head of state abolished the regional system of government

6. The North saw the writing on the world and did what they had to do.

What I'm saying here is, stop playing victims when in fact it was Igbo people that started the problem in the first place. Who started the blood shed and coups in Nigeria? Igbo people? Who abolished regional government? Igbo people.

Always treat other people the way you want to be treated.

Every action calls for a reaction so don't step on other people and expect them not to step on you.


He has and on top of that, the man in charge of our budget and planning is from the SE. Each state in Nigeria is guaranteed a minister and you do have your minsters.

GEJ gave you all the public office in the world, but what exactly did your leaders do with all the positions? Nothing. Dd they use their influence to make sure you get the 2nd NB? No.

The SE followed the PDP for 16 long years and came up empty.

APC, the party they hate so much for the first time put money on the table to build that bridge. The head stone on that bridge is going to have Fashola's name on it and it's going to be commissioned by President Buhari with his name also on it., not and never GEJ or any leader from the SE and so it shall stay for ever. They missed that opportunity.


Igbo people keep saying they hate the North, but the same PDP they followed for 16 unsuccessful years is dominated by Northerners

The PDP chairmanship position was zoned to the SE, but after Igbo people in fighting, the North took away the position from them, not it's a Northern position.

You refused to do the right thing with your own AGPA party, you relegated that party to the dustbin in favor pf the PDP, you did not even vote for your own son of the soil, the man you claim to love so much aka Ojukwu. instead you prefer the Northern party and Northern president


The next presidential ticket have been zoned to the North and not the SE so where is your hope and future with the PDP?

Like the writer said, Igbo people hate Igbo people and not the North or the SE.

Ijaw people have moved on and they've openly opined that GEJ was a failure and National disaster so it beats me why the SE is doing abobaku for GEJ. Even GEJ gan sef have moved on.

Good. But I fear this post wasn't at all devoid of a tribal undertone. Sorry, but asides Ben Akabueze. Who else is a south Easterner in a top position? I asked for a list if you had one. And while making the list juxtapose it with Northern appointments and judge objectively. Let me give you a quick summary of what you may come up with. Ben, chris(maybe) That's all. I refrain from mentioning Kachikwu as I would rather let sleeping dogs lie.

I am not writing this as a South Easterner, I am writing from a neutral perspective. First, I think you have mis-concieved the south easterner. Forget the Tribal slurs rife here and let's examine the real world. South Easterners do not hate any other tribe asides Hausa. That's a fact. I live in the south East and I have seen Yorubas who live here and how they are treated, if for anything they are given preferential treatment. Some have learnt to speak The Igbo language. I will admit I do not have comprehensive data here. But from my real world experience. A typical south easterner has no qualms with a yoruba man. If you have visited a south eastern state and witnessed obvious tribalism, kindly state it.

Again, sir, you stated the south easterner's support for PDP. You'll admit that through out the 16 years of PDP's rule, you can't produce a statistically correct data representing the number of votes PDP got and from whence. PDP got away largely due to rigging. The only time I would say the East rallied around PDP was in 2011 for Jonathan. They paid for that in the North.

Then to the civil war. I did not initially mention or tell you the civil war was entirely the fault of the North. Though, I think you wrote a terribly biased summary. I would encourage you to admit truth. The case is a simple case of two tribes who fought and years later haven't been able to forgive each other. The East didn't team up with anybody to rule. Ironsi was simply the top military officer then, he would have taken over even if he was from old bendel. I wasn't born during the civil war, but I have read extensively on it. The Igbos have since then never found true favour in the eyes of the hausa man (that's the believe). And in turn the Igbo man hasn't really loved the Hausa. I am trying to really not go into the beginings and causes of the civil war, as that on its own is a huge debatable topic. But the point is, no one is playing victim. Wounds from the civil war and subsequent killings of Easterners residing in the North, years after the war has ended hasn't really being helpful.

The East didn't hate Buhari because of Corruption, that's fallacious. Buhari was/is hated because of his tribe. Simple.

PS: I am not tribalistic. Read and reply my post without a tribalistic mindset, let's deal facts and actual world not generalizations stemming from what's obtainable on this forum. Thank you, sir.
