Truth be told Ndigbo have suffered in this country. Partly also caused by them. Since the demise of Nnamdi Azikiwe we've lost our political expediency. Emotionalism introduced by recent Igbo leaders, MASSOB and IPOB has taken a toll on our pride. First we must get it right political. The era of trying to please others must seize henceforth. We did the nonsense with the Yoruba's in Abiola and Obasanjo and repeated the same to GEJ, yet their tribesmen would never pays us back in like manner. Igbo must get it right and all those who scorned her will come begging on their knees. We must start using our thinking caps and be pragmatic. The likes of MASSOB and IPOB offer nothing to Ndigbo. We must push them out for an hard core Pan Igbo group that looks after our interest first. We must begin to vote in leaders that think Igbo first just as the Fulani's voted in a Buhari. Any lily livered Igbo politician who thinks others first etc must be destroyed politically. 20 Likes 4 Shares |

Eastlink: This current generation must be the ones to change the course of our engagement with others is this one Nigeria. We must sacrifice emotionalism and replace it with pragmatism and self interest. We should stop treating our neighbors as brothers and simply see them for what they are; our neighbors.

horsepower102:The era of pleasing others brought us scorn and insults. The language Nigeria understands is ethnic patriotism. Which sane country would vote in a Buhari tell me? The Yoruba's are unapologetically ethnic champions and have remained so but only the Igbo's are claiming holy. Igbos lost the plot with her shameless macabre dance and many of us are guilty. 2023 is around the corner and yet we still don't have a political roadmap. A supreme leader is their destroying Igbo political future and our youths are their forming IPOB touts online and offline. We must begin to get it right. We must throw our individuality and work for our collective interest. 14 Likes 6 Shares |

Eastlink: IPOB will fail and eventually will loose support in Igboland. As someone who used to support them, I have retraced my steps. Nnamdi Kanu is misguided. Sooner or later he will realize what a big mistake he is making including Tower of Babel in his biafran ambitions. But I am glad for IPOB movement. It helped to expose a lot of things I would have never known about those surrounding us and their true intentions and feelings towards igbos. 17 Likes 7 Shares |

Pazienza is an idealist and it ends there. I once told Pazienza far back to convey his ideals on nairaland to reality but that never materialized. Charismatic and fearless people should begin to lead Ndigbo. People who are intellectually sick as Kanu etc would continue to have the edge if we don't rise up. Also weak and compromising leaders such as Peter Obi, Ekweremadu, Rochas, Kalu etc would continue to lead Igbo's if we don't put an end to it. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

horsepower102:Pazienza can surely write a book sure but he isn't cut out to lead. There was a time we talked about opening a WhatsApp group to push Igbo nationalism but it fell on deaf ear. Sorry to say this, but Nairaland is where Pazienza charismatism ends. Unless we translate this ideals to workable solutions offline, it would always end up as a waste of effort. 1 Like 1 Share |

Eastlink:Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB certainly have nuisance value... Nevertheless, their agitation for Igbo liberation lacks intellectual and strategic framework. I have said it time and again that the Igbos, especially the intelligentsia, must rise up and fight their battles. It was a deliberate state policy to unleash revisionism and demonisation on the Igbos immediately after the civil war... We know the authors and beneficiaries... Now that the younger generation of Igbos have the privilege of access to the internet, it behoves them to study their history and retell it the way it should be retold. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

UdechiHD: The problem I think which I clearly expressed to pazienza Is that a lot of igbos children are misinformed growing up. They Are taught see those who hate them for who they are as brothers. The are not alerted to the realities of their neighbors. It makes them willing to tolerate any insult that comes their way in the name of keeping the family together. Well fck that mentality. My only anger is that it took me years to realize this. This is why you still see some misguided IPOB members still including Tower of Babel in Biafra. 8 Likes 1 Share |

So port harcourt was known as igbo Town? I'm so confused. I think Igbo leaders should come together and work with nnadi kanu. Anyone that denies they are igbos in South south needs to be left alone. They should make a terrorial map of their sad republic. If not then these minorities and even some external forces from larger tribe pretending to be from niger Delta will keep insulting the igbo race 5 Likes 2 Shares |

horsepower102:Is that what you think? Not all Igbo's are misinformed. It's just that at a time Ndigbo became politically tired of the Nigerian system and Igbo intellectuals took the back seat allowing those with no proper understanding of our identity and history lead. Many of us by virtue of our education and place of birth (Lagos) have always had an open mindset on happenings in the country. The only thing IPOB/MASSOB achieved in doing was shaping the thoughts of unintellectual low Igbo traders, artisans and hustlers abroad. These folks with no proper understanding of events and education began to see themselves as new breed of Igbo spokesmen, needing only directions from one Oga at the top to streamline their thoughts and with their ruggedness and uncultured attitude they made sure that the other opinions of the rest Igbos were dismissed, believing only theirs as gospel. Too bad actually. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

What has he done to their Ogbako Ikwerre forum where insulting Igbos and playing the script of Igbo traducers appear to be the culture?

Re: The Eastern Region Series : The COR Movement by OfoIgbo: 10:45am On May 12, 2020 |
Pazienza odogwu. Thanks for bringing this message to this forum. Igbos are by nature, not dictatorial or filled with the tendency to hurt or marginalise any other ethnic group. It is not in the Igbo nature. It is a tendency that abounds in Yorubas and Fulanis, who celebrate when they are hurting others. Everyone also knows that this report was not prepared by a group of Igbos trying to twist history. This was put together by totally independent and neutral people, so no one can come at some point and start claiming that IPOB's Bureau of Statistics are yet again, up to no good. For many year now, I have made it quite clear that Nnamdi Kanu was not my leader. Even when IPOB was at its zenith in 2015. While I recognize Nnamdi Kanu as an Igbo patriot, and acknowledge the fact that the IPOB that he leads has touched on a few issues that have perturbed the Igbos regularly, and of course has helped in raising the consciousness of our people with regards to the injustices being perpetrated in Nigeria by her rulers, he does not have the mental and leadership wherewithal to come up with a realistic roadmap to achieve the needed goals. All he is doing is further entrapping us in this hole, by his aimless rabble-rousing and populists chants that will obviously beguile the keke drivers and okada riders of Igboland, but does nothing concrete for the eventual emancipation of our people. I cannot label someone a revolutionary by how many tweets he makes, his broadcasts on RBL or his facebook likes. These tools are mainly for awareness purposes, but with Nnamdi Kanu, it will seem that is the limits of his revolution, with a few barely organised placard-laden demonstrations. He cannot arrogate to himself the title THE SUPREME LEADER. Leading who? A far more polished and incisive personality is needed, and Nnamdi Kanu is not that person. He should have been happy with just being the director of RBL rather than then trying to play roles he is no where prepared to handle successfully. He has never been a military leader, nor is he well versed in warfare, both guerrilla or conventional. He has never been a seasoned diplomat with a wide network of influential whoiswho on the international scene that he can call on, to smoothen his diplomatic influence in the international arena. He is not known to be a diabolical strategist or an evil genius to ensure you are taken seriously, by everyone both domestically and internationally e.t.c. Yet he wants to play all these roles. Meanwhile the people that are best suited for this roles are languishing away. People who could have extracted more from the international community on the back of the constant harassment that IPOB is suffering in the hands of Buhari's government e.t.c. Today, he fights with non-entities like Kemi Olunloyo, the next day he talks of dead Buhari, totally all over the place with no long term and short term focus. He should have realised that the struggle requires effective division of labour. He is very good with his radio activities, and that was his calling. He is not called to really be a supreme leader. That job role requires a lot more than he can give 15 Likes 4 Shares |

horsepower102: Funny enough, people like you have no solution to IPOB except to criticise IPOB. The situation the Igbo nation finds its self is that to move foward, one of two things must happen. It is either that Nigeria restructured and power is devolved down to people to control their land and resources or the disintegration of Nigeria Anyone talking about anything outside these two things is just making noise. The only people that are remotely doing anything that will bring about restructuring or disintegration is IPOB. Yet some people are criticising IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu even though there is nothing else on the ground except them 9 Likes 1 Share |

This piece by pazienza buttresses what we already know! Almost everyone in the old ahoada district identified as Igbo back then. Yes we've got different migration history but deep within us all we know who we are. My people should all wake up and smell the coffee before it's too late. Although my Ekpeye people don't have deep seated hatred for the Igbos from the mainland like the Ikwerres do. I believe in and support an Igboid country only.
