Letter To My Igbo Brothers by akpumping7720(m): 11:12pm On Apr 20, 2023 |
I am not a writer because I don't plan to become one now or in the nearest future so please manage my use of words. I hardly advise people especially adults because I have this belief that a person above 18 years should be able to reason and do things in the normal way. I hard to force myself to write this because I know it will not go viral due to my style of writing. Infact I will be so happy to pay a prolific writer whom I can pour my heart to while he writes in a more captivating way so that it can go viral. Let me go straight to the point; I am writing to my Igbo brothers to see beyond what is really happening in Nigeria politics today. I am always sad when I see influencers like David Hundeyin, Aisha Yesufu, Chude and the others slandering and dishing out propagandas towards other political opponents. You might call me whatever names you like or you might call me a bigot; it's fine. But I will just pour out my mind and move on. Beginning from 1960, the 3 major ethnics have tasted the presidency during the military era, Aguyi Ironsi, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, the first Yoruba man to become the head of state is Olusegun Obasanjo. I don't want to dwell much on past history so as not to open healing wounds. The damages these influencers are causing the Igbos will mar future chances of Igbo presidency; Soludo gave comments on all these but he was bullied and Insulted online. People who have worked beyond just their circle of friends or tribes alone knows how politics works in Nigeria. We all say a picture of Jonathan with Tinubu online in a happy mood. Despite all the attacks Tinubu media team launched against Jonathan government prior to the build up to 2015 elections. How come such person will still be laughing with someone who took the presidency from him? But what most people don't know, is that sensible politicians play what we call underground games and that t is how politics is played. In politics you don't create enemies forever; you build bridges, you learn to appreciate your hosts and speak good of your hosts. Only your region cannot give you the presidency, reach out to people that matters. Lobby with the ruling party if you don't have the power to endure and build a formidable political party like Asiwaju. Strike at the right time with your connections. Peter Obi made a grave mistake when he came to Lagos by not visiting the Oba of Lagos(I won't say much on this but people of wisdom will understand better). Stop this mentality that your tribe is better than every other tribes. Your gentility doesn't mean you are coward. Yoruba used to say that if you prostrate for a dwarf doesn't mean your height will be reduced when you stand up. I am appealing to my Igbo brothers to caution all these people pushing them against the opponents. You don't bully people, you don't defame people to power it's not possible. David Hundeyin is from Badagry. FG has approved the Badagry port; which will bring massive development. Aisha's region too is witnessing massive development . But these people keep pushing you guys and you all are cheering them up. Reflect on this Shalom. 23 Likes 7 Shares |

akpumping7720: Please leave Ndigbo out of your worries. Did we ask for your advice? Just leave us please. As for your fellow commenters or monikers, tell them to go and hug transformer, or jump into the lagoon. Your thuggery and violence in the name of politics is disgusting. Leave us alone please. Nigeria will never reach it's potential with your stupid brand of politics. Good day. 33 Likes 2 Shares |

so your suggesting a whole ethnic group should become lapdogs to this countries elite(Im talking about all of them, from all regions). I dont see this kind of self-depreciating, condescending nonsense when others outside igboland dare to critic politicians and advocate for a third way. 11 Likes 1 Share |

akpumping7720:Yet Tinubu and bullied himself to Power We all remembered how they rubbished GEJ and his tribe... Igbos were the most insulted tribe during GEJ Even when everyone knew that GEJ wasn't Igbo Tinubu was the champion and architect of all embarrassments GEJ received while in Power.. Now that Tinubu has hijacked power you want the regions with the opposition voices to stay silence... That's not possible.. 10 Likes |

This presidency we keep harping about. The poorest regions have held presidency the longest. I think this belief that you need presidency to empower your region, disables the mental faculty of the said regions inducing a lackadaisical attitude towards creative innovations. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Yeye advice I didn't see any advice for your own tribe though you deliberately hid your identity And for sure your own tribe is faultless, that it the origin of tribalism You think igbos are loosing Only history will tell Igbos are made of what they are, God made us so no matter the situation nothing last forever Your badagri port will keep on blessing more generations of igbo descents Those structures you see in lagos are just the empty shells the true wealth resides in that red sands on the bite of Biafra Since you're the wise your advice can be more profitable to yourself and your kindred 7 Likes |
