No wahala if he says Igbos in the south south cannot use the south east slot. At least Anyim admitted that there are Igbos in the south south. Going by that also he admitted that Irabor is an Igbo man. Matter end there! 8 Likes |

Ehen no problem, this equally means you don't need the votes of igbos in the south south too. Some kind of statements by so called elder statesmen reeks of stupidity. 7 Likes |

[quote author=Rugaria post=98569543] 2 things that are fatally wrong with your submission above: 1) Igbos in the south east are not the ones pushing away Igbos from other areas! On the contrary, Igbos from other areas, especially the fulani invented "south south" are the ones fiercely clamouring for a separate identity! The only time you see Igbos from the south south speak up about how they're being pushed away from their so-called Igbo heritage is during times like this..This forum is littered with so many examples of this! We have threads here where for many pages, it was a tug of war as some BROTHERS from mainly Rivers State and Delta State unleashed all sorts of diatribes on the igbo, simply because in the heat of the political persecution going on against the igboman at the moment, it looks convenient for folks to claim a new identity! That in my opinion is evil and should be condemned! Essentially, your advice should go to the Igbos in other regions to man up, actively identify with their kind in the hinterlands and boldily move forward to possess their possessions! Firstly, I am an Igbo from Rivers State. I may have accepted my ancestry/ethnicity but many others especially the much younger ones find it hard to accept. I remember when I was much younger, if you dared call me an Igbo I will be offended but as I grew up, and became a realist I saw that couldn't shy away from my identity for long. Most Igbos in the South South are taught by their parents to deny their ancestry because of the pains associated with being Igbo in Nigeria, and the defeat during the Biafran war. So, its not really the fault of the younglings rather that of their parents and older relatives, I only believe that there should have been a way to mend this relationship, and bring all the Igbo clans together to stop the discrimination of Igbos, I believe that would be the first step in getting them to accept their identity. 2) You also get it wrong when you talk of creating a "world class igbo economy" within Nigeria, without the Igbos not being interested in the leadership positions/decisions in Nigeria. That can't work my brother! Folks easily forget that politics come first before the economics. You can't get the right economic policies you need to create a versatile economy, if your traducer is in charge of making political decisions over your head on a daily basis! To even create an export oriented economy for instance, you need to get the macro/micro economic policies right! The CBN for instance, needs to get the fiscal and monetary policies right! Otherwise the final prices of your goods will struggle against the prices of similar goods from other competing economies.. That's just one single consequence of having the CBN governor making policies that run contrary to your interest! Who appoints the CBN governor? It's the president! So how can you create an economy that's competitive enough, if you have a hate filled president appointing officers who will make policies that will kill your initiatives? No, we only need the governors to get it right. If the Eastern governors can get their bearing right, then they can position the South East in the same manner with Lagos. Obiano is currently doing this with Anambara, so why can't Ikpeazu do it with Abia, or Uzodinma with Imo, its just lack of foresight. If this governors can drop their grievances towards each other, and forget party politics then they will move the South East forward. Imagine governors in the South East behave like the governors in Lagos, where they continue with the plan of their predecessors instead of dumping it to start afresh. If all these steps have been followed the SE would have been an investor haven considering it small size. 9 Likes |

valentineuwakwe: That's why we need to foster reconciliation and reformation structures. I am not from the SE but I have accepted my ancestry. Most of these people especially the young ones are taught to deny their Igbo ancestry from a young age by their parents and elderly relatives, probably because of the discrimination associated with being Igbo. 6 Likes |

justosee: Actually he's very correct. The only Igbos in the South South who constantly deny their Igbk ancestry are the Igbos from Ika (Anioma) and the Ikwerres (although some are pro Igbos). I am from Etche in Rivers State, and in my place and the neighboring Omuma we hardly deny our Igbo ancestry. 7 Likes |

The financial derivations from the resources of the Igbos in the southsouth does not accrue to the southeast. So invariably, southeast presidential/political slots, should only go to southeast persons. As southsouth Igbos' financial derivations go to the southsouth, southshouth Igbos political slots is a part of the general southsouth political slots. This is fair. If south south Igbos want to deep into the southeast political slot, there has to be some sort of restructuring such that southsouth Igbos are grouped in the same geopolitical unit with their fellow southeast Igbo brothers. 13 Likes |

I am not a fan of Pius Anyim but I endorse his speech on south east political slots not being taken advantage of by people from other zones irrespective of language similarities. Igbos have been called expansionists etc when they extend hands of friendship and brotherhood to supposed Igbos outside the south east.... Wike is a perfect example. Watch the link below...This is Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh denying that he is Igbo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt-uY1GPh0Y @Rugaria Privaldo Helinues Ojiofor AntiIgbo 9 Likes |

AntiIgbo: I know you are trolling but there’s no problem. Igbos love their brothers across the Niger and outside the south east, the problem isn’t with the Igbos of South East region but with the confused and mischievous greedy ones who only remember their igboness when they want to gain something. Ohaneze is filled with Igbos from outside the south east, people like Bishop Chukwuma is from the Niger Delta but has been living in Enugu for many years while holding a very important position as a bishop, Nairaland is littered with threads of Igbos being accused of forcing people to accept their Igboness...I guess Igbos opened their eyes after the likes of Oliseh and Wike showed them their middle fingers. Oliseh said he isn’t an Igbo man....his contemporary Austin JJ Okocha said he accepted and confirmed himself an Igbo man. We see lots of threads here about ikwerre people and Ndoni people rejecting and distancing themselves from Igbos. Like Oliseh and Okocha....Wike has said that he has no Igbo background, his Ikwerre kinsman Rotimi Amaechi said he was more Igbo than lots of South East Igbos and no one can take that away from him. Pius Anyim only reiterated the need for south east slots to go for south east people. Let those with confusions about their ethnicity sort themselves out. I’ll be speaking for lots of South East Igbos when I say that we don’t hate or despise anyone but mischievous and greedy individuals should not be taking advantage of Igbos. 14 Likes |
