Nigeria has lost Igbo People

By Terhemba Osuji | October 29, 2019

Never has there been a president who through the sheer force of his presence and body language, who has alienated every single segment of Nigeria than President Buhari, particularly Igbo people.

There was something about the coming of Buhari that drove southern minorities into a frenzied state of fear almost tentamount to the dread Hitler had of the Russians that forced him to commit suicide.

Unfortunately it would seem all their fears came true as Buhari has systemically marginalized or excluded not just Igbo people, but other tribes from power,

It has not helped that the return of Buhari coincided with the rise of Nnamdi Kanu to national prominence and his calls for Biafra and for a referendum for Biafra aided by perceptions of Buhari sponsored manipulation, targeting and massacre of pro Biafra supporters that have all hardwired this psychosis into the Igbo proletariat.

Beside Operation python dances in the region, igbos have further evidence of plans to subjugate them by the introduction of RUGA into Igbo land, a situation that is driving nigeriaphobia amongst igbos through the roof.

The tragedy of Buhari and Nigeria is failing to realize how easy it is to assimilate igbos back into Nigeria mentally.

Here are a few things Nigeria could do:

1. Open up eastern ocean and inland ports to prevent hardship of traders journeying to Lagos to clear their goods.

2. For Christ sakes, immediately repair and upgrade Enugu airport to handle diaspora holiday traffic and to give igbos a sense of belonging as one of the tripods that created Nigeria, plus it could easily be one of the most profitable airports after Lagos.

3. Complete the 2nd Naija bridge as a matter of urgency and fit the underbelly to accommodate large ships to pass underneath, it makes no sense to build a bridge that will restrict water navigation.

4. Declare Nnewi and Aba Santuary or special status cities and give them more resources to turn them into integrated Silicon Valley replicas with funding and assistance to upgrade their quality.

5, exhibit statesmanship by publicly declaring and ensuring an Igbo man becomes President, it is similar to the degree of trust America placed in making Obama president and he has since left office, removing the century long accusation of bias, it is still there nevertheless-but white america removed that argument from national debate.

If the President or the government can ensure these five points are actualized Igbo alienation will retrace to a decline and separatist agitation will finds its foundation suspect and questionable.

The tragedy of Nigeria is that it will not come up with the courage to do any of theses things for the national interest even when it makes Naija and kobo sense as each and every one of these proposals have the propensity to diversify and commercialize Nigeria to the next level.

Igbophobia, Criminality and the Nigerian Army

Image
By Terhemba Osuji You can gauge the sadistic intent and mission objectives of the Nigerian army by the code names it gives to its operations.  We had crocodile smile in the Delta and now we are dancing with pythons, actual code name Operation Python Dance, coming on the heels of a scathing report by amnesty international about the civil rights violations by the army in the South East.  It is obvious to even the blind that the agitation for Biafra is in the nonviolence phase, yet buried in all the usual hogwash about providing security, is the direct and coded message to imagined rebel secessionist armed forces aka IPOB/Massob agitators that they will use the rules of engagement to disperse all peaceful demonstrations in the Nigerian army's press release about the new operation, a clear case of paranoia which must be labeled as Igbo phobia. From even the most casual observations it is obvious that nothing mobilizes Nigerians or its security forces more than taming Igbo in all s...

Nnamdi Kanu - The last Igbo Griot

Nnamdi Kanu is the last living Griot of IGBO History passed on from a long line of griots and medicine men over the centuries in Biafraland to him.  The spirits of Biafara land have been searching for a medium to pass on the knowledge for mass consumption to lost souls for ethnic revival and they have found Nnamdi Kanu to use as a communication medium to share the knowledge before the history is lost forever.  His seance revelations and prayer sessions are laced with Igbo theology and vernacular descriptions that sounds strange, but oddly and mysteriously familiar to all ndigbo, and all Igbo races across the land, because of signature correlations to their ethnic DNA.  Those spirits are confusing people by allowing Kanu speak about succession to camouflage his speaking in tongues, Providence May allow for the mans eartly wishes to be fulfilled, but that is not they real concern of those blood spirits. Mother Igbo is crying for all her sons who left their fathers compound ...

NDIGBO - STAND BY KANU OR STAND ASIDE

What has become of Ndigbo Bekonu? You cannot post anything whether advisory, strategic, realistic or self-effacing or recriminatory about Ndigbo attitudes or issues without Ndigbo attempting to crucify for sabotage against Ndigbo, it doesn’t matter whether you are an Amala or a politician or an academic or diasporan if you go against the unwritten and inflexible philosophical narrative code you will be torn to shreds, literally.   All Ndigbo, can read or hear anything and instinctively know whether you are speaking like an Igbo man on any issue most especially about politics and economic policy. There is no Igbo man in his hearts of hearts who is Not aggrieved about the state of Nigeria and most particularly the instinctive feeling of exclusion and marginalization and victimization of the Igbo race, it permeates every single narrative we engage in and it drives our motives no matter how politically correct we try to pretend. All that searing pent up resentment has been finding...
