Igbo Issues According to Terhemba Osuji

Unless Nigeria breaks, the ethnic nature of many states will have an altered and new cosmopolitan outlook from mass and cross migration in the next five to ten years to something unrecognizable especially after this pandemic. There will come a day when there will be many mosques in the SS/SE just as there are churches in Kano or Borno or Zamfara and even Sokoto with neighborhood Emirs just like there are Bishops and Eze's in the North and in the West. Nigeria is not they first country to face an invasion of unwanted migrants, check how Turkey invaded Germany and Syrians flooding into Europe, or to Kosovo Muslims moving into Western Europe or Mexicans and Cubans into America, in search of a better life even as they bring a crime wave along with them. Unless Nigeria breaks, nomads are going to flood the east necessitating the expansion of Alausa in places like Owerri just as Kano has Sabon Gari quarters for strangers in Kano. These undocumented nomadic immigrants who have crossed Nig...

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...

Like Buhari before him Atiku was coming with a lot baggage heading into the 2019 elections. his focused on-corruption charges from accusations of selling public corporations to cronies as Vice President and money laundering so serious America indicted him in reports forcing obasanjo to sideline him as he vigorously began promoting EFCC as part of efforts to prove to the west nigeria was serious about tackling corruption and good governance before the forgave Nigeria’s debt. Just like with Buhari alleged tribal biases and irredentism all ignored in 2015, Nigerians rabidly convinced themselves Nigeria would end unless Atiku saved them from buhari in 2019..  Against all reason Nigerians trooped to Atiku, who was also supported by Saraki, who miraculously had transformed into the people’s champion; they obviously forgot how he imploded a bank and robbed kwara blind. The day Atiku picked Obi was the day he lost the 2019 elections, in fact he lost my vote that day and did incalculable da...

Why is the Nigerian government so blatantly biased against developing the East and Nigeria ultimately?  It has been reported that the poorly built Akanu Ibiam International will be closed due to issues with the runway damaging the landing gear of aircrafts which is all well, but no repair contracts are in force to repair immediately, nor does anyone know when it will be reopened. Beforehand, one would be shocked to discover that the airport has been systematically excluded and neglected to the point where only one airline, Air Peace, was landing at that airport before terminating its operations a few days ago, making agitation to keep the airport open a moot point. Comparatively, the government already had a plan in hand to repair the Nnamdi Azikiwe international Airport and expedited the upgrade of Kaduna Airport, to handle Abuja traffic. The government also deployed security along the length and breadth of the Kaduna Abuja road during the repair, only to withdraw all that securit...

ME: Ndigbo, especially IPOB members, please do not repeat the mistakes of 1966, by taking matters into your hands and killing other people’s leaders and representatives, you  are not they only aggrieved Nigerian or Biafran who are being killed.  Do not attack any non-Igbo politician. Do not be among they beaters or killers, instead find and let an aggrieved Hausa or Fulani or Yoruba man beat Buhari instead and run from them when the camera’s are rolling so you do not associate the Ndigbo with any attack and invite indignant* reprisals.  While your financial independence and stubbornness has made you imperious to advice or respect for your elders, in contrast other cultures are not that way, they youth rever and near worship, yes, ranke Dede, their elders and listen to their counsel, it’s why you are marginalized, and they will not take kindly to any attacks by disrespectful Igbo’s*.  Please see this picture of a whole former two time head of state and retired Full Ge...

No tribe has suffered in the Nigeria project more than the Igbo, it is estimated the Igbo lost somewhere between two to six million, i repeat two to six million people from 1953 and during its war of independence from Nigeria. Pogroms against easterners can be traced back as far back as 1945 and peaked in the aftermath of the Revenge counter coup of July 1966. The immediate forerunner to that orgy of bloodletting after July 1966 was the coup led by officers of eastern extraction who killed prominent politicians and military men mostly and almost singularly of northern origin. In retaliation thousands of military and civilians of eastern extraction, mostly Igbo’s, were slaughtered in the north for the misdeeds of those coupists and many Igbo fled homeward to they eastern, by they millions. During brief interludes when the pogroms subsided and during the time Gowon and Ojukwu were negotiating a more peaceful union and upon Ojukwu’s urging, many Igbo returned northwards only to be slaught...

Bafrans Despair not, Nnamdi Kanu is presently being made a spectacle by a well orchestrated plan designed to make his Biafra project a subject of derision and to have you question his leadership credentials with postings of private intimate videos.  In the past, Many patriots like Ralph Uwazuruike  and Benjamin Onwuka and a ton of other patriots have been brutalized and compromised just like he may be. Even the great Ikemba Ojukwu was outgunned and humiliated to douse the flames of Biafra, but I say again despair not, Biafra is a spirit that can never die it resides in the hearts of all Igbo men even as we struggle in one Nigeria.  Please Ndigbo, resist the natural temptation to feel or express any contempt for the IPOB youth leader because of leakages of private intimate videos and many other negatives that are sure in the future to come and stay on point with the message of pride, Igbo nationalism and dreams of Biafra he has instilled in you.  At the end of the day...
