A Lesson From The Lagos Election by MiztaDynameek: 7:25pm On Mar 19, 2023
Like they always say, Yoruba and hausa find it very difficult to betray their own brothers irrespective of the particular state they are from.

But you see the ibo people, they can betray their own family let alone another ibo man from another state that is not their own state.

I think this 2023 election in general should teach them a lesson for them to learn to unite within themselves so that they can come out stronger in 2027 or 2031.

They should use the next 8 years to rebuild and unite themselves.

Same lesson to learn since 1960.

The only way peter obi could have won is to be vice president of kwankwanso these I'm expecting next presidential election.

They should learn from what Chinua Achebe said about the Igbo as follows:-
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.”
Pride goeth before a fall! They keep falling because they are largely arrogant and find humility detestable .
