What Is Happening To Igbo Man by Nwanby: 6:50am On Mar 24, 2010
The History of the Igbos in Nigeria can be not underestimated: The First Black President was from there-The Great ZIK. He was a man of Intergrity and Honour. The Only Major Rebellious Soldier we have in this country is from there. Concidentally, both are from the same state. Anambra State. This state, without much ado, is the greatest of all state in the East with great Men and Women-The Emeka Ofors, The Okadigbos, The Ojukwus, The Doras just to mention a few.

The Last election in this State was used to judged the present INEC performance in the country, The whole world focused on the electoral process as the country had not had any election before. You will recur that this is thhe first time an incubent will be returned, Just like Ondo State where Agagu was the Only Governor to return for second term, though he was opted out in court by the present Mimiko.

But the South Easterners have always cried of Marginalisation, This cannot be totally untrue. since the Civil War, no Igbo had been exalted to any sensitive post in this country. The Only one that will get to any post must be the one has aligned himself with either the West or the North. I dont want to mention names here, but i know we all know them.

If you may ask why this distrust of Igbos among Nigerians, The Simple Answer is that, EVERY IGBO MAN HAS THAT TENDENCY TO STEAL, ROB, KILL and DO ALL SORT JUST TO MAKE MONEY

When you come to the Eastern part of the country today, the ways and manners you are treated, is unimaginable. Security man view everybody here as a thief, armed robber, 419 and so on. You can walk freely in Onitsha for example without being stoped by Police or some disgruntle un-uniformed men. The day u are not sstopped that means you are very lucky. The soldiers and Mobile Police men in this states treat people like animals, no mercy. They collect bribe with impunity. For instance if you come to Onitsha-Owerri rd, Just at Upper Iweka there is a police man there who i have not seen wearing boot, he is always on bath-room slippers collecting bribe from motorist. He will just stand at the middle of the road collecting bribe from driver on one side and conductor on the other side. I have not been seeing him this past 2 or 3 days.

I think it high time we re-adjust our mentallity, let other tribe see us as peaceful people a nation with pride, with skill not to steal but to develop. Most of the Shoes we have in the country the call it [b]ABA MADE[/b]not that it is that good but just to mock us. if we can make ourself more relevant and important, no nations in the country will cut our meal too small. This is just the begining of this wake up call.

I would not blame you because you are far from the truth. You are far from reality. You live in obscurity. Don't worry the light will soon shine on you. I pray that God will open your eye to see the right thing to do. Let me give you this instance, Here, thank God we were not brought up in the East may that is why we don't have the tendency am talking about. When I got home, I discover that the best gift to give a child here in the East during Christmas, Esther, New Year or any festive period is to buy a [B]TOY GUN[/B]. A child you trained to use Toy gun will not find it difficult to handle [B]AK 47[/B]. The better will begin to realize what is right for our children the better it is for us. You that called somebody a goat, you know goat is better that [B]SHEEP[/B], which you are. Go home and enlighten your kindred. I know you were brought up here. Proverbs 19:18 "Chasten they son while there is hope and let not thy soul spare for his crying"

U see how Mumulistic you are. I know they used Toy Guns to train you. You are one of those on the street. All your reply are always negative. Sheep, Anu ofia

@ Are you so afraid of your identity even on the internet that you had to create a new Id just for this thread? Na waa o!
Re: What Is Happening To Igbo Man by Nwanby: 4:17pm On Apr 01, 2010
What do want to do with my identity? [B]"Nwanby"[/B] is he name i don't need to write my full name non put my picture on the web for people to see me. Besides, it is not advisable to display ur true identity. All i know is that we should come back Home repair our Land. What is Obtainable here is not the same as you have it in other part of the country. Go to the North or West, you will see for yourself. Most annoying thing here is that, a considerable number of us stay in the West or other part of the country where we do what we know how to do best. Trading I called it. Those of us that have stay for quite sometime there, when we come back home there is that reservation we have for our attitude. Am only using this medium to spread my gospel to bring us from self deceit. Today, we don't have one Person that we can our Leader- somebody that will stand and say something that every Igbo man will agree with. The westerner still respect [B]AWO[/B] despite the fact that he is is no longer alive. Whenever his Wife talk, they still respect her and listen to her. Can Ikemba Today say something that we will all agree with. I know even now that i mention [B]Ojukwu,[/B] some of us reading this have already grumbling. The earlier the better for us. The fight or struggle for our nation may not materialized if we continue the way we are going.
