did you notice I did not care when cohomology mentioned Yoruba.

please try and emulate your superiors

Essentially, the North and the West have not rid themselves of their prejudices and hatred of the Igbo. They have been using their jaundiced perception and misreading of history to thwart the Igbo presidential aspiration.

006, I still post the question to all the igbos on this thread:

why is it that you guys agree with what the author says about you but cannot accept what he says about awolowo? This is contradiction at its highest.

I honestly don’t know much about Awolowo on a personal level but for the fact that it was alleged that the 1966 coup plotters intended to install Awolowo as the President, then there’s something about him and his perception in those days.

You seem to be hell bent on derailing this thread and making it Awolowos. I promptly answered your concern. Maybe if you intentionally ignored it, here it is again.

SEFAGO:

If this article is not accurate how can you debate its statements then? Or use it as a reference? I still dont understand. For example the claims that Igbo are hardworking is false, but no igbo person has pointed out this falsity.

For the bolded statement, I wonder how any other ethnicity would have fared when left with just 20 pounds each after the war. Look at our position today in Nigeria in comparison with other ethnicities in terms of economic success and tell me what it entails!

mikeansy:




We simply can not walk alone. And neither can any other ethnic group in Nigeria because no group has the numbers to do so.

It is also telling that most of you who make a lot of noise do so from the comfort of your homes in Canada and USA.

how many leaders igbo people need gan sef? i thought they have ojukwu,

ChinenyeN:

As much as I respect Ojukwu, I don't think can continue to call himself, or be called, the Igbo's leader.

EzeUche:

^^^^^^

And get killed?

I value my life too much.

Onlytruth:

There is no doubt that the Igbo makes a different type of impact on anything they are involved in.

some igbo folks here worship ojukwu like god,so stop downgrading him like that.

ChinenyeN:

All things considered, it is my right as an Igbo to make such a comment, and they should understand and have no problem with that.

Kobojunkie:

Not all Ndigbo engage in the same sort of BLIND WORSHIP you see portrayed here on Nairaland and in most of Nigeria. Some Nigerians are actually capable of thinking for themselves.

006:

I wonder how much Kenyan Barack Obama is. At least Barack Obama has visited Kenya twice as an adult but you’ve only visited Alaigbo just once as a child, yet every time you come up here, you seem to be an authority on anything Igbo. You cannot be Igbo by reading texts alone, you have to feel it.
