What should I expect from a phony wolf ticket like you? The usual noise and dick match…. But sure you got the message. Don't expect further response from me, cuz you ain't worth it. Besides, I don’t do IPOB shiit but a straight fuccking concerned Igbo... So man, go hug a tea - tea fucck. Asshole.

Ugosample:


Well I have experienced some discrimination myself because I'm Igbo (mine was house rent back then) and sometimes I try to think on what is the root of all these "dislike" for my people....
But you have to know too that it's not "everybody" that hate Igbo peeps tho...
I got Yoruba family and we are cool.

pchukwudi:
Ignore that guy bro. I have no doubt he's pure urohobo moslem.

blues2022:

The root problem is simply because you are Igbo and tagged overly ambitious.... somebody said it right here on this thread. But is it a pain if someone decides to shoot for the best? They hate us simply because we strive to be best, irrespective of the terrain we find our-selves. whether its friendly or not. But this is what defines the Igbo man; hard work. Shear hard work. You can't take it away from us.
For example, I've been in the office since on Friday working without touching home. If I become successful today, one idiot will start hating, without considering the fact that countless working hours have been sacrificed. I don't just get it. Its pathetic.

[s]The five south east state can leave nigeria if they want, nobody cares as long as no single south south soil is included.

I know IPOB would soon come and attack me with thier usual boring lines listed below:

1. Who are you to speak for entire South South or Niger Delta.

My question to them: who are IPOB to even speak for the entire south east.

2. There is no word like South South in Geography.

My answer to them: words are created by man and nations. Nigeria have created the word South South and it has come to stay. Deal with it. The word South South is also used by the United Nation. U can google to get educated.The word google,facebook,IPAD were created in our lifetime.

3. You are yoruba and Afonja.

My answer to them: i am a full blooded Niger Deltan like Amadi Elechi, Anthony Enahoro, Ken Saro Wiwa, Isaac Adoko Boro , Ateke Tom, Ayiri etc who rejects Biafra. If you dont believe, u can go hug toilet!

4.They will not leave any Igbo tribe in south south behind when they break away.

My answer to them: We dont have Igbo in South South. What we have in south south is distinct independent ethnic nationalities like Kwale, igbanke, ikwerre, Anioma, Etc. Cubans are not Mexicans,Texans are not Mexicans, Portuguese are not spanish even though they share border, history and language similarities.

5.We dont want South South because of oil.

You can say that to a one year old infant. There is low oil price today, all the south east states are currently facing strong recession.

6. Your Divide and Rule wont work.

My answer to IPOB is that they are the king of Divide and rule. Whenever a Niger Deltan speak on Niger Delta issue, IPOB fraud are quick to tell you how Ijaw cant speak for Urhobo, how edo cant speak for Isoko and Itsekiri cant speak for ndokwa etc. IPOB always want to tell us Niger Deltans how diverse and different we are while downplaying our strong simililarities and history so dat they can easily annex us as small insignificant groups.

7. There will be a Referedum where South south will have to chose between Nigeria and Biafra.

This is d most deluded statement of IPOB which can only happen in thier wet dreams. If there will be referedum in Nigeria it can never be two choice but multiple choices. The choice will and must definitely include the following: Niger Delta Republic, Nigeria , Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa and others. Niger Delta Republic is our preferred choice as south south people.

8. Nigeria is a creation of white man. They want old eastern region back. The people were not consulted before the almagamation of Nothern and Southern protectorates.

My Answer to them: Old Eastern region was also a creation of a white man. The white man did not consult all the various ethnic nationalities in all the regions before they created the eastern, western and Northern region. People were forcely lumped together as eastern region. This is obvious with the Joy of Rivers State and Cross Rivers state people when they were seperated from a dominant Oppressive tribe in old eastern region to create thier own state. Wike the Governor of Rivers state just celebrated this issue last year by naming port Harcout township Stadium as Yakubu Gowon Station.
Delta State including Asaba was never at any time in history part of Eastern region. Delta state including asaba was first part of of Benin Kingdom/Empire before becoming part of Western Region, then part of Mid West, then part of Bendel before becoming Delta state today.

9. In Biafra, every region will own thier resources and pay tax to the centre. South south people should not be afraid of losing thier resources to a dominant tribe.

My answer to them: Why will South South people be comfortable to paying any form of tax to a centre likely to be controlled by a dominant tribe with the least resources, least landmass and almost more than 50% of the resulting population of such union. We will rather form our own Niger Delta Republic and run our things ourselves alone. I think we will prefer resource control in Nigeria than that your dream Biafra.


10. Your dream Niger Delta Republic will not work because south south people are too diverse and different

My answer to them: Divide and Rule in action. Your dream Biafra will be more diverse than our dream Niger Delta Republic. Your dream Biafra is our dream Niger Delta Republic plus South East. However even if Niger Delta Republic will not work, we are ok with it breaking into three or six different countries. It is our problem. Leave it for us. Afterall Soviet union broke into more than 20 countries and the world have not ended. In Summary, Niger Delta people wants Resource Control, Fiscal Federalism or Niger Delta Republic as last option if Federal Republic of Nigeria breaks[/s].

Ugosample:


Hope you know that it is not all Igbo people that are like this, And that these traits can be found in good measure in other tribes right
I know what I suffered in the hands of Yoruba peeps in my life, but that does not make me tag all of them wicked tribalist.....

judge people based on their character not tgeue tribe or origin, that is what black man has failed to get.

That is a concrete example... he is not even ashamed to admit it right here. Imagine the countless numbers of them Nigerians that parade along with that notion. It tells you something is not right. I have never been an advocate of Biafra, but with what I'm seeing, I'm subscribing to the movement. Biafra will cure a lot of ills. #truth

pazienza:


They want the same outcome, without putting the same effort.
Lazy bunch.

pazienza:
See why they all love to hate the Igbo.

Ugosample:


well, I don't subscribe to Biafra tho, not now, not ever...
But many people misunderstand Igbo peeps, and that is where the dislike, or hatred comes from.

blues2022:

Its painful. Instead of them to join us with a friendly mind to build a great nation together, they just keep hating and calling us names. See how they've already branded IVM a moving coffin. I don't just understand.

pazienza:


You are living in denial.

There can be no unity with people who hate the very things that make you who you are.

The things that make the Igbo who we are, the ambitious spirit, the entrepreneur spirit that is always searching for opportunities to make money out of nothing, the aggressive drive for success at all cost, in any endeavour he puts his mind to, the independent rebellious spirit that bows to no traditional or political figure head, the colonial spirit that will always seek out to dominate any place he finds himself through sheer hardwork and communal joint effort that makes him to invite kinsmen to help him establish control in a new area, driven by the core values of "Onye aghana nwanne ya".

These are things that drive the non Igbo Nigerians mad,
They can never be comfortable with it and Ndiigbo are never going to stop those traits, cos those are our cultural imprints, they are things that make us who we are. We have an impasse with OduaArewanistans and their allies.

malton:
In "Why Nations Fail", Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson opined that:

States do not fail overnight. The seeds of their destruction are sown deep within their political institutions.

This holds true for Nigeria.

We, as a people, have been utterly unable to take advantage of our society’s huge potential for growth in spite of the numbers.

Our failure, like they alleged, is by design. This too, is true.

I will not stand here and pretend as if the Igbos will be less of a loss to Nigeria than say, the Yorubas, or even the oil rich Delta.

Truth is, those people have contributed to the growth of Nigeria in their own way. They are incredible!

But, we've let the politics separate us; allowed our differences to define us; and have allowed others tell our story for us.

In a nation as diverse as Nigeria, carrying everyone along is important. Unless we tell our leaders the truth, they will continue to come between. After all, the only language they understand is divide and rule.

We've fought battles we shouldn't have. We've won battles but watched others share the spoils.

The average Nigerian lives everyday believing that his next door neighbor is his problem. How untrue that is. We may insult the Igbos all we want - I do that a lot - for fun, actually - but, the truth remains - they are the piece that complete this puzzle.

Stupidity is when Mr. A will want you to believe that Mr. C is your problem... But, be doesn't see any wrong in reaching across to that same person he condemns. Some even go as far as marrying their offspring(s) off to their (your) supposed enemies.

Mr. Rochas, being a majority isn't any consolation. You should channel all that vigor into advising Mr. President on the right thing to do. Our leaders have failed because we have been sycophantic for far too long.

If you want them in Nigeria so badly, you've got to prove to them that they are highly valued, like the rest of the society.

I wouldn't advice my sister to continue in an abusive marriage; for better for worse. Karyan ciwo!

The solution to them staying or not rests squarely on your shoulders (the leaders).

As someone who understands the pareto principle owing to my privileged economics background, I believe that the 5% comment has to be the most reckless, divisive, and belittling sentence that I've heard a president (someone who ironically, should have been a unifying force instead) make.

Donbigi2:



If all these are true, why is it hard to let them go? What do you have to lose?

pazienza:


Look at how the Igbophobic Akenzua, took everything that made Ndiigbo who we are, and twisted them around like they are sins we have to pay for, in that his article, and even predicted the entire country ganging up against Ndiigbo, which was exactly what happened in the civil war.

Ugosample:



Hmmm....

Have you lived among Yoruba people in Lagos, or Hausa people to know that they ALL hate us.

I have done so, and to tell you the truth, many of my Yoruba peeps tell me that indeed, they admire the hustle spirit of the Igbo man.
The bad eggs are the ones causing trouble upandan, the unemployed touts, agbero etc. those ones are miserable and of course, miserable people don't like when people are successful.

And as someone rightly said, the hatred is two ways, there are some Igbo people who don't like Yoruba people or Hausa people at all, calling them all sorts of derogatory names and stuff.

I got some clips from Nnamdi Kanu, and his choice of words, smh...

well, every one with his opinion, and life goes on.

Duru1:


Ranting of an ant. You have the right to build Nigeria into a great country without the people calling for separate homeland from the colonial contraption. Equally, it is the prerogative of the dissenters to breakaway from the ever doomed piece of crap called known as Nigeria. The fundamental differences in culture and tradition of the nation states that were fused together as Nigeria by the idiotic colonialists cannot allow for any meaningful progress.

pazienza:


People like you were the ones that died more during the counter coup and war proper.
My grandfather was the Eze ndi Igbo in Bauchi before the war, well loved by the Northerners there, yet he was a very perceptive mind, he knew what laid behind those friendly laughter and camaraderie from the Northerners, before the counter coup even broke out, he already had left the North with his entire family and was safe at home.

Where as non discerning Igbos like you stayed behind, deceived by friendly vibes they were getting from Northerners, they were all slaughtered by their Northern friends.
Few of them that were lucky enough to make it to Benue from far North were ambushed and massacred by Tivs, Idomas, and their Hausa friends in Markurdi and it's surroundings.

Same happened in Benin and in Yorubaland.

Those stupid Igbos died, and nothing happened, their families replaced them, and the Igbo race continued to exist.

When the chips are down, it's the hateful ones, the bad eggs, the bitter ones that will lead the mob. The apparent good ones you are counting on will go missing or even join them after little persuasion .

blues2022:

Its painful. the loss and stigma. I will love to see a united Igbo front that is commited to cure this malady. IPOB is really going about it the wrong way. We don't have to antagonize them, just work with a proportionate objective mind. And the first step is those of us living and doing business in their enclaves to start thinking home.... I have a lot to say... will save it for the right moment. However, IPOB need to rethink their strategy. Its counter productive at the moment. This is my observation anyway.

lawani:


There is no need to leave where you are making money but remember home! Captain Haastrup, Chairman of Eagle Cement made it in PH and he established the first 5 star hotel in Osun state where national conferences are held, ANA, NUJ and etc. That is how you do things. Yoruba will never leave PH, Enugu, Onitsha, Calabar and etc. So Igbos will never leave the West BUT HAVE YOUR BIAFRA!

Alariwo2:


This is just the sad truth most of them fail to see

Their lands are so bad that it can hardly grow crops well, poor roads amongst other calamities

igbos should just look for somewhere to sit their asses abeg.. dem no get mouth atal
