Igbos Don't Understand Politics, Only Good In Trading - Kalu by yGist: 5:59pm On Nov 02, 2016
Orji Kalu, a former Governor of Abia State, took a swipe at his people when he labelled them good in everything except politics. Kalu made this known recently while granting an interview with The Editor-in-Chief of The Interview magazine, Mr. Azu Ishiekwene.

Kalu said most of the Igbo elite were selfish and should blame themselves and not the Federal Government for their woes. Kalu said that Igbo politicians should go and learn the discipline of the Yorubas if they want to succeed politically.

Kalu who was obviously unhappy with successor, Theodore Orji wish his successor had showed the same discipline demonstrated by a former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola when differences occurred with his predecessor, Bola Tinubu over Fashola’s second term.

According to him, “The Igbo have no discipline in terms of politics. They are very good traders; they’re good in anything they do, but they don’t understand politics.” Recalling his conversation with President Buhari, where the President wondered aloud “why previous high-profile Igbo appointees had done nothing for the region.”?

Is Kalu right about his claim?

Real Igbos are good but the ipob members aren't good in anything including trade because they always get caught in the act.

you are right, igbos are good, but iPods are the problem of Nigeria, they are corrupt, doing dubious businesses, importing fake things, and they are saying they are good in trading, they know nothing, they are only good in insulting buhari and support corruption

No hypertension o smiley

Any secession that would be, be done without violence.

Violence achieves nothing. Only dialogue works. wink

Every Tom, Dick & Harry can now open their buccal cavity to insult the Igbo nation. This same man with his holier than thou attitude embezzled Abia state money when he was governor without any concrete legacy, again, he was the first governor to vote against Alex Ekwueme during the PDP primaries yet he now talking nonsense again!
