But actually, actually why shouldnt an Igbo man boast.
After the civil war(1970) an Afonja man devised an evil strategy to keep Igbos pauperised for ever by giving each man a mere £20 irrespective of how much he has in his bank account.
Hahaha! the Igbo showed their mettle and God-given entrepreural talents and bounced back within a short time, even surpasseing all others.
Why cant an Igbo 'boast' after all the gang up in adverse economic policy formulations geared towards stiffling their businesses, they still thrive.
●No single seaport in all SE, they still survive.
●No single Int'l airport, they still survive.
●Uncountable Customs/police roadblocks in the SE, they still survive
●No Economic Federal presence in SE, they still survive
●No Federal Business enabling environment, they still stay afloat

Stop talking trash.

Achebe took out up-to 3/4 of his post to praise Ndiigbo.
He never believed we are second to any group. He wrote that we are above everyone else.

He only reserved just few part of the last part of write up for constructive criticism of Ndiigbo.

He never blamed resentment other Nigerians have on Igbos on our glory in our success, he blamed it on envy and jealousy of other Nigerians over our sudden rise to success and continuous voracious demand for more success, owning to our cultural background that emphasizes more about success than socialism and laziness.


Compare that with a scratched face like you that has no single praise for Ndiigbo, and sees Ndiigbo second to your own group, taking more time to demonize Ndiigbo rather than highlight the envy and jealousy of of other Nigerians.
With an Ijebu Igbo man like you, Igbos don't need enemies.

Ndiigbo don't need to get humble. Envious and lazy Nigerians like you need to get hardworking and outmatch Ndiigbo by dint of merit and hardwork and merit and not going green with envy and bitterness when a hard working Igbo man takes glory in his success.
Maybe then, Nigeria will stop being a failed colonial estate.

There should be a difference between blaming Yoruba's and blaming Awolowo. Awolowo gave Igbos only 20 pounds but in everyday life, I have seen countless Yorubas so kind and hospitable, you will begin to wonder if they are descendants of Abraham who accommodated strangers, not knowing they were angels God sent to earth for a mission, and thus brought divine favour to his house. And here I am talking about both Yoruba Muslims and Christians.

Of course, no ethnic group are complete saints, but Igbos should not be deceived to transfer Awolowo's percieved sins to innocent Yoruba's who would have opposed him if they could.

In your haste to defend emptiness and lies of an igbo victimisation, you forgot that people of the southwest handed over your properties to you when you came back after the war. Expecting a flaaaaathead to be reasonable is like expecting a stone to produce water

specco:

You have to live with this hate. The Igbos started making waves in busineses in less than ten yrs after the British/Biafra war. I expected you counter that economic wicked deed of your kinsman. Connneheeeaaads are sly and unreliable aliens.

Not all Igbos are members of Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB.

Obi1kenobi:


Innosson? Because of empty rhetoric like this, the Yorubas on this forum opened their thread on industries owned by Yorubas and you empty chest-beating clowns were thoroughly eviscerated. Some shamed Igbos had to open their own a few days later, but they couldn't keep pace with the Yoruba thread. They were there consoling themselves in their information bubble when any impartial arbiter of both threads could see the Yoruba guys throughly wiped the floor with the Igbo group and shame catch me for una.

pazienza:
If Obi Ikenobi is an Igbo man, then I'm Donald Trump.

I remember that even Rossiki once claimed Igbo here and was even defending Ndiigbo some times.

He is an impostor.

honourhim:


Awolowo couldnt have done what he did without the approval of the Head of state, Gowon. Now nobody is mentioning Gowon in this matter, only Awolowo is being blamed here. I dont think we are being objective in the way our people blame Awolowo only.

Above is a balanced criticism of Ndiigbo by an Igbo nationalist per excellent. Chinua Achebe.

Taking time to praise his people, highlighting our lead in many aspects of Nigeria endeavor through sheer hard work , despite early disadvantage of being hinterland people that met the Western civilization later, we closed the gap and are clear leaders .

But when all a supposedly Igbo man on internet have is criticism of Ndiigbo , wanton disregard of malicious posts thrown at Ndiigbo by enemies, and praise of a group of people that would never praise Ndiigbo, we don't need a soothsayer to fish out an impostor.

You simply can't be more educated than Achebe that placed Ndiigbo accomplishments ahead of those of Yorubas.
So,this deception of hiding behind veneer of education, pseudo intellectualism, and claims of neutrality to denigrate a group you claim to be part of, will always fish out impostors on internet. We saw this with Ndu chuck, Rossikk, Okija juju /mad cow, and these were old Nairalanders that played this game before you.

We have been there and back before,many times.

The IPOB e-miscreants never see anything good in Yorubas due to hatred preached by their dubious leader Nnamidi Kanu.. I can assured you no reasonable Omo Odua will do what our past leaders has done to make them strived in our land..

Nigeriadondie:

Just as no yoruba wud never see anything good with d igbos.
Since there is mutual hatred it is time wasting to be muddled up in a forced marriage called Nigeria. For good let all go their seperate ways

DocHMD:


Even the muslim zombie GenBuhari once claimed to be Igbo too during election campaign just to sway opinions for his dullarrd buffoon in london.

We,the Yorubas are not the one holding you behind.. tell your fraudulent brothers to vacate our land..

Nigeriadondie:

When d igbos did attempt to seceede in 1967 u together with d north fought for "One Nigeria".
Also d issue of fraud we know that it is ur brothers that most fraudulent from Lagos to Ogun to Ekiti to Ibadan yahoo yahoo which has become metamorphosed into yahoo plus is perpertrated most by ur brothers.

Instead of planning contingency strategies against the Igbohaters who want to slaughter Igbos, you are here opposing your fellow Igbo over Biafra politics. Ihere a dighi eme gi?
