It is not about where the former presidents hail from that matters to the Igbos rather their unalloyed romance with PDP. if not why did they refused to vote for Ojukwu under APGA or Moghalu under YPP ? Let PDP present a goat or pig as presidential candidate and APC present NOI or even their new found hero Atiku or Saraki, majority of Igbos will still queue behind the PDP's goat/pig. Didn't Atiku vie for the presidency under Action Congress? was he voted for by the Igbos? So plz shelve the talk "we voted for YarAdua, OBJ and Gej" It all about PDP and nothing more....

Esseite:


You are just hate filled... Igbos dont hate anyone, if you hate them... its your business... all these hate articles coming from SW is just myopic, the same hausas you claim they hate, they work tirelessly with both within their region and outside.

izombie:
that's where you are missing the point. It has never been about pdp but about buhari. Apart from 1999 when obj ran against falae, the other elections were about igbos rejecting the bigot buhari. We voted pdp in 2003 because buhari was the oppsition candidate, same in 2007,2011, 2015 and 2019. For instance, if buhari was pdp's presidential candidate in the just concluded 2019 election and peter obi was his vp, pdp will lose woefully in the se. It's not about pdp but about buhari.

gidgiddy:
What a nonsensical write up! Something is mentally wrong with whoever wrote this. Igbos hate Buhari because of GEJ? What has GEJ got to do with it?

How many Igbos did Buhari kill in the counter-coup of 1966?
How many Igbos did Buhari kill in the civil war 1967-1970?
How many Igbos did Buhari kill and imprison from 1983 - 1985?
How many Igbos did Buhari kill in operation Python dance, 2017


Go and answer these questions and come back and tell me why Igbos hate Buhari

senatordave1:

Which unit did buhari command in the civil war? Which sectors did he fight? Did he kill more than obj,gowon,murtala muhammad,ty danjuma,adekunle,ibb etc

Esseite:
What kind of useless article do you tribalists churn out daily..

No igbo man hates buhari, they just elaborated his tendencies from his previous rule of 1983, and just like dejavou to them. its happened all over again.

No Igbo hates Yorubas aswell, there may be distrust in one or two places but majority just wants equity and justice across board, if all these writeups is to endere the North to the SW for 2023, then you have failed.

The SE voted Obasanjo, Yar adua, Gej and Atiku...
is that not everyother person excluding themselves, they have even gone deeper in voting across regions?

Obasanjo - SW
Yar adua - NW
GEJ - SS
Atiku - NE

Now they may be opting for another Northerner "maybe NC", is that not more Nigerian than any other region?

The reason most Igbo dislike the person of Buhari is an upshot of so many grounds. It is an open bias one we can only shy away from in the holy name of tolerance. As a Nigerian from the Western part of the country I have received insults hurled at my tribe because we supported the candidacy of a President that has one of our sons as the Vice-President.

Our case just like that of Buhari is an ancient "wrong". A prejudice and stereotyping that precedes recent events. The one sin we committed as a nation is fighting the civil war and the mistake we made either as a Nigerian or Biafran is not winning it. Because is it obvious the war wasn’t won, and it rages. How "no victor no vanquish" can delete memories of untold hardship and deaths is fragile.

The civil war was a leadership error, an ego contest by leaders, swift to war in the name of their people and their blood. I said once - whoever shot the first bullet killed the progress and unity of this nation. To most Igbo, Buhari personified the enemy - the one that killed their grandparents and parents. It insults their pride. The hatred is a civil revenge - the much accepted in a democracy. This is a man who served in the Civil war where millions of Igbo died - he was just a ready-made enemy. His history has condemned him. If Nigeria had “forgiven” the Igbos am sure most Igbos have not. It is hard to love when the elders that are supposed to forge the unity are the ones stoking the flames of violence. Writing legacy of discord. This generation of Igbo were unborn during the civil war or immediately after it - many of they don't even understand how ruinous. It is Aburi accord, with many not knowing what its content is.

The last election in Nigeria is one of the most schismatic ever and no matter the degree of "a hero" people try to foist on Goodluck Jonathan he will forever in history be a divisive leader. One who supervise a schismatic campaign for a selfish motive. The campaign rhetoric was intentionally divisive. It exploits the religion fault line of the country. Strategically positioning himself as a Christian president moving from church to church desecrating God’s acre with political statements while our bought pastors watch in connivance. A personal and non-religious obligatory visit to Jerusalem turned to a photo session indirectly passing a message to the Christian denominated Igbo of his faith. Bringing his faith into affairs of state, subtly dividing the country when Boko Haram, an "Islamist" terrorist group was killing Christians in the North - well done. He made his Platonic association with the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) public to the extent of using a plane linked to the "man of God" to ferry money to South Africa. That was him making the Igbo believe their man, a man of their faith is the president. Most fell for it and own him immediately. A became more than just Igbo, he became to some a hero.

The Igbos who are enraged with the way Boko Haram was killing Christians in the North saw Goodluck Jonathan as a man on their side - of shared faith in the "we versus them" that the Boko Haram issue later turned to.

Islamophobia is prevalent in the South-eastern part of Nigeria so when a Muslim came into power dislodging a Christian is seems like Christ was crucified again but this time by the Fulanis. It is not just a Muslim, a Muslim that the Jonathan camp has labeled a Boko Haram sponsor and sympathizer. No way! This sentiment resonant with some Igbos who believe that as a Muslim Buhari is evil. Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign tried effortlessly to stigmatized Buhari as an extremist but what they don’t know is that it worked even though they lost the election - most Igbos already accepted their campaign of calumny.

Another reason most Igbo dislike Buhari is because of ethnicity. Goodluck Jonathan created another "we versus them" using the ethnic fault. Apart from the geographical location that accommodates Otuoke in the 1967 map of Biafra - there is nothing that connects Goodluck Jonathan with Igbo except votes. But in the name of politics he transformed himself to an Igbo to garner the support of the mighty Igbo since his Ijaw tribe isn’t one of the three major tribes in Nigeria. The first was the name Azikwe. Then is the politically correct (and deserving) appointments of Igbos into his government. This appointment serves it purpose which is to be seen as Igbo, no more a friend of the Igbos. Does anyone still remember Yoruba leaders being called “Vagabonds” in Ibadan? Or the “born throway” of Patience Jonathan? The Awolowo party ( a reference to APC) campaign in the east. Or how the relocation of Igbos in Lagos was spun with ethnic coloration when same happened in Imo or Abia? Do you remember the “Lagoon” and Oba of Lagos? How a Yorubaman (Jimi Agbaje) was adopted by the Igbos in Lagos for Governor because it is believed to be in an Igbo party - PDP? Do you remember how PDP in Lagos presented Igbos for assembly seats? Positioning the party as an Igbo party. When It is part of a grand plan to make the election look like the Igbos against the Hausas and us the Yorubas - “the betrayer” all again. It was the civil war all again. A democratic one that leaves us with a divided country. The hatred and division didn't happen by chance it was planned to be so. Buhari is an APC member so when he won it was like the Igbo "lost" again - another January 1970. The outcome was planned smear the opponent and win the election.

Most Igbos don't like Buhari because Goodluck Jonathan’s message to them was well digested but wasn’t enough to re-elect him. If Jonathan is any hero it will be a BEER.

The aforementioned names belongs to PDP, and as the writer pointed out, GEJ had already painted PDP as igbo party. I am very sure if ATIKU had been APC flagbearer, Igbo won't still vote for him

This is not just about the civil war or one particular event that might be forgiven. This is about a 50 year year sustained effort at killing Igbos, by Buhari starting when he participated in the counter-coup of 1966 and helped to murder over 300 Igbo officers to 2017 when he deployed Soldiers to go and kill many IPOB youths who were only carrying flags.

Buhari has been involved in the killing of Igbos for 50 years, any Igbo who hates him is right to do so

So how did Igbos opt Obasanjo over Ojukwu?... that is because they are diversified and detribalized Nigerians who saw Obasanjo a better candidate. Atiku didnt go for presidency under APC but just primaries, moreover GEJ as an incumbent was better than Buhari coming from the previous reign of Buhari which they envisaged.

Moreso... PDP started in same 1999 so as everyother political party.

They hate no one... the hate is your personal makeup
