ghostmist: Forthright? The millions of igbo traders in sw,nw,ne,nc that are constantly devising new ways to attract more customers nko? Do u think they don't DETEST yoruba and hausa? Why aren't they showing it? I thought they are forthright? A girl I had as a close frnd @ajah would always show hate towards yoruba when we @ home but the shop next door is owned by a yoruba woman, that woman welcomed her to the shop, aided her with vital info on different issues, allowed her use her light box for some welding issues, protected her interest(even in her absence) when people blamed the welding activity for the transformer problems etc yet any small thing @ her crib she would diss yorubas, I decided to cut her off after her bday. It's ok if you forthright and tell someone u dislike them, but when u keep singing it like a hit track and expect them not to hate you too... then can't I call such a person delusional? In the aftermath of acn n cpc loss to pdp in 2011 immediately tinubu announced plans to form a coalition to push out pdp (not gej but pdp) cos a good look @ polls show yorubaland except osun gave gej their votes! The NORTH DIDNT TAG YORUBAS NAMES Suddenly IGBOS tagged the alliance between mainly acn and cpc a NORTHERN agenda forgetting APGA and LP were actively courted by acn & pdp even okorocha decamped since apga refused. Igbos turned apc vs pdp to apc vs gej... that is how all this bigotry started. Parties laid down their identity to become apc while pdp allowed apga and LP retain their identity but pledge allegiance to pdp. The race was heating up, apc calculated and realised that pdp already had a strong popular candidate in gej they needed a candidate with a stronghold too so they chose pmb. The battle ground was drawn... now where was the the battle ground? SOUTH-WEST! A politically savvy region, the pdp had NOTHING to offer, in a political masterstroke after weeks of sounding out potential VP's like amaechi, oshiomole A westerner was chosen! This rocked the pdp they had already erred by immediately ceding Vp to north [stronghold of the main contender(a mistake apc didn't make by ceding to SS/SE)] PLEASE GOOGLE SWING STATES. Let us not forget gej had fallen out with obj early on in his presidency, instead of playing smart politics he sought to 'end obj's' political career thus THE ONLY MAN who could checkmate tinubu in the west for the first time became an ally to tinubu. At this point the RHETORIC fully changed from buhari is a bigot, apc is northern TO SS DESERVES PRESIDENCY BECAUSE NORTH HAS RULED FOR TOO LONG. That campaign plan was dead on arrival apc won, pdp lost and INSTEAD of immediately strategising for 2019 igbos were disturbing the peace till NOW take a look at the present political calculation. Pdp(with a strong se/ss supporter base) is fighting OVER WHICH NORTHERNER should be their chairman? THE PARTY HAS ALREADY ZONED presidency to the NORTH, now tell me what exactly the igbos are loyal to? Loyal to defeat? If pdp present N/SE candidate apc will easily defeat them cos the SW leaders now HATE the SE thanks to the "FORTHRIGHT HATE" shown by SE. IF PDP present N/SS candidate it will mean that once again igbos have lost in the short and medium term political arrangement. What the SE forgets to achieve presidency within the next 2 election windows is by uplifting APGA or joing APC. Even If pdp miraculously wins in 2019 it would only be made possible by mass defection THUS the north will still be in-charge. Politics isn't won by wailing, 10 Likes |

A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internet and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day. When we told them we are more civilized than them, they'll grumble and lament. Well the most sensible iboman in recent time has spoken.

Truly1:let me tell those of you say that the Igbo hold political positions in Lagos and if it can be reciprocated in the east, I will tell you yes under one condition, that is if the Yoruba population in any eastern state is up to 3 or 2 million, Lagos has a population of 19-20million, igbos in Lagos are 4 to 5 million, the area that is being represented by an igboman have many igbo residing there. so you saying that yorubas can not hold any position is Igbo,I see it as you trying to bring the igbos down. |

Speak for yourself Joe, because I know that myself and majority of Igbos do not have any hatred for Buhari or Osibanjo, but are so engrossed with issues of modern living like advancing our careers, growing our businesses, training our children properly to become educated and useful members of the society. Infact, I can say with all certainty that 90% of Igbos dont care about Buhari or Osibanjo as they are a race that depend on self-help to better their lives and to develop their communities. Joe, dont take the rantings of some mis-informed Igbo youths on Facebook and other social media platforms to over- generalise that all Igbos share the same opinion with just-barely-gone-past-teenage youths; as those group of people, in any ethnic group, are known to, sometimes, hold unreasonably strong positions on any issue and can also be very insultive. Check out discussion topics on Facebook about GEJ and you will also find out that GEJ was also being insulted by Northern and SW youths to the extent of his being called a dullard and a ba..ard by some of them. I will advise you to tell PMB and Osibanjo, that they should not mind those over-zealous youths on social media platforms as they do not represent the generality of the Igbos. Joe, please also advise your principals to address the issues of economic and political alienation being faced by Igbo youths in order to kill existening ethnic militia groups and give Igbo youths a sense of belonging. 3 Likes |

kel5000:It's a free world, everybody cannot like everybody. But then, while we express our own opinions, we should try not to crucify others for holding their own different opinions; live and let live. This is somehow what Mr Igbokwe is trying to talk about, another simple example of this is the fact that any Igbo person who dares to have a different opinion from the crowd is instantly declared persona non-grata, efulefu, enemy of Igbos etc and it may only be a matter of time before it turns to physical attacks. This intolerance needs to stop. 3 Likes |

Ngozi123: What is terrorism? It is the use or threatened use of violence in orderr to achieve political, religious or ideological aim. Ipob represents Igbos, the same way MAssob, Aka Ikenga and Ohaneze does. The last time I checked, Igbos have never denied that Ipob is not their representative. The same Ipob threatened violence and war against Nigeria if Igbos are not allowed to secede. What shall we call that if not terrorism? The same Ipob threatened to kill other ethnicities living in SE, thereby promoting genocide which is a major crime at ICC. If that is not terrorism in Igbo land, it is in other parts of the world. The same peaceful protesters shot at law enforcement agents, they killed law enforcement agents, which in itself is a major crime against the State. Peaceful protesters blocked a major highway that is a a Federal Govt property, thereby infringing on the rights of other users of the same property, that are equally tax payers. Call for secession should be civil and intellectual and not dancing around early in the morning, like headless chickens. Thanks for clearly stating you are not in support of the hate message of the lunatic yellow pawpaw calling himself Nnamid Kanu. I am not against secession, but I am strongly against hate and genocide messages. I will gladly support your cry for secession when Igbos are voted into political positions to lend a voice to your cries, when the agitation is civil and when i can see a leader leading the struggle with much intellectual capacity that can defeat Albert Einstein, diplomacy that will make the world to forget Ghandi and moving argument that will make Cicero a joker. Sensationalism and playing on gullible people's emotions are the major strengths of Nnamid Kanu, who is morally bankrupt and mentally unstable. 4 Likes |

saintdennis: Good for you to have listed out what PMB administration has undertaken to do in the East, can also list out what the poeple of SE has done to sabotage the few project you listed above? If all Joe can do is make assertion about an entire ethnic group based on what he reads on FB without any evidence to show that they are sabotaging the effort of the FG rather basing his so called 'evidence' on what people say, I think that Joe himself is guilty of same offence he is accusing other of. Someone criticizing the government is different from someone sabotaging the government or are you saying that all the criticism on the last administration from people from the SW and North were all meant to sabotage the last administration? |

MrTruth4real: I am not doubting you but my point remain that Joe should understand that you cannot judge the entire Igbo people based on posts he read on FB. How many Igbo people are on FB and how many out of the 30 million plus responded to your so called post? Please you people should stop this your anti Igbo campaign. I am sure you are aware that the last administration was criticized mainly by people from the SW and North does that means that the people of SW and North hated GEJ and were bent on sabotaging his government? 1 Like |

This man is honest about his people. When a west African race adamantly claims Jewish ancestry with no corroboration from neighboring tribes or even the Israelis, you know you're looking at a strong case of delusion. We know Buhari's crime against these people right from the primaries was that he is not Igbo. There is nothing he can do that would be right in their sight. Even if Buhari appointed only Igbos as ministers and aides and deployed all federal resources solely for the development of Igboland, they would still disapprove and vote against him. He must know this already and like any experienced leader, he spares no thought for such bigotry. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB? Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996? Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998? Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999? Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? AND ALL THE THINGS U LISTED ABOVE ARE RIGHT? IF U ARE SINCERE U SHOULD HAVE CONDEMNED ALL THE WRONG THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY; INCLUDONG THE ONES U LISTED ABOVE IRRESTECTIVE OF WHO THE VICTIM(S) IS/ARE.
