Why Igbo's Are Ahead Of Other Tribes In Nigeria, Obasanjo Speaks by Frankdoz5: 8:21am On Oct 01, 2019 |
Social Thought: MR. Olusegun Mathew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo, GCFR, Ph.D. Speaks out on the Igbo Question “Unfolding why Igbo are ahead of other tribes in Nigeria Former President of Nigeria, Chief Obasanjo has revealed reasons why Igbos are ahead of other tribes in Nigeria. It will be a task impossible to actualise for the Igbos, to follow the Yoruba’s Ideology. The Igbos are more republican by nature, which is why it is very difficult for you to tame such a tribe. From the extensive research I did on the three major tribes, I find out that the Igbos are the most westernized, most enterprising, most astute, most dynamic, most intelligent (smart), and the most technically gifted tribe found among the black race. The Hausa/Fulani and the Yorubas have limitations. But an Igbo man doesn’t see any limitations. An average Igbo man is highly competitive, unlike the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani. While the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani had kingdoms which enabled the British to infiltrate their territories easily, the Igbos on the other hand, had what could be called Chiefdoms” autonomous Communities. These structures made it very difficult to tame the Igbos. It took the British just 9 months to tame the North and South West but almost 30 years to be able to tame the Igbos. The British had to send a team of anthropologists to the South to understudy the Igbo because, they (the British) acknowledged they hadn’t being up against a black race with such depth and intelligence coupled with the gut to confront the whites and learn from them so, so fast. While a Tinubu, can have unrestricted influence over the Yoruba tribe, something you can only find mostly among blacks and some poor nations on earth today, an Igbo man can never be tamed by the ideology of one man unchecked, no matter how highly placed he or she is. That’s why the Igbos are very successful no matter where they find themselves. They don’t believe in putting limitations on their path. You can only find such similarities among the Europeans, the Americans, and developed Asian tiger nations. A Hausa/Fulani man sees Kano as his world. A Yoruba man sees Lagos as his world. An Igbo man sees the world as his Village!” 14 Likes 3 Shares

The only person who was loved all over Yorubaland was Awolowo basically for his giant strides in development of all sectors. If Tinubu had that much influence, Seyi Makinde won't be the governor of Oyo State today. Akeredolu won without Tinubus support. Kwara voted APC because they wanted Saraki out at all cost. We also know that PDP lost marginally (officially) to APC in Osun. Elections here are not always a true reflection of the people's feelings. 6 Likes |

I know the op was lying when he said Obasanjo said it. Seriously the Igbo's are holding the South backward, SS and SW is developing fast but the SE is not. Former Gov Rivers state started greater portharcourt, though politics killed it, The SW is building Eko Atlantic, what exactly is the SE doing? 15 Likes 3 Shares |

dukeprince50: South East rose from ruins after 30 months of constant bombardment and properties lost via the abandoned property saga. With no government intervention but only self help has built Onitsha, Aba, Owerri, Enugu, Abakiliki, Umuahia, even contributed heavily to the development of every other nigerian city. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

valentineuwakwe: Why is that, of the over 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria, Igbos remain most susceptible to propaganda and outright lies crafted to make you feel superior to others? Is it because the Igbos have emptily huge egos others now know how to stroke to get what they want from a gullible and vain people? You lot claim to be intelligent but even a Street lunatic will tell you OBJ did not say this childish garbage. 9 Likes 1 Share |
