Igbos: Should Southeasterners clamour for a referendum?


Igbos

Should the Igbos in Lagos and other states in Nigeria begin to live in fear due to the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu into power.

Is it time for the Igbos to clamour for a referendum and earn the independence they have demanded since the civil war in 1967?

Since Tinubu, a Yoruba man is now the president-elect of the federal republic of Nigeria, I think it’s only ideal for a referendum to be carried out for Igbos to leave and form an independent entity.


With what happened during the gubernatorial election in Lagos on Saturday, March 18, it’s apparent the Yoruba fundamentalist and traditionalist no longer want the Igbos in their lands.

What exactly are/were they (APC) afraid of?

If Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the returning governor of Lagos state had properly done his job within his first tenure, he wouldn’t be unleashing thugs on the streets to threaten those want to vote competence.

If Bola Ahmed Tinubu is indeed a strategist and democrat as plenty so-called Yoruba fundamentalist and traditionalist claim, why is his approach always coercion, intimidation, assault and attack on people who want to carryout their civic responsibility.

Violence is the structure.

The people who disgust me the most are youths who are voluntarily in support of Tinubu and APC rulership. I just can’t understand one simple reason for the support, it is absolute balderdash and your medulla oblongata should be checked.

I will never understand the animosity and hate towards the Igbos. As a full-blooded Yoruba-born person I’ve asked older acquaintances several times why Igbo people are so hated in their own country.
No one has been able to answer me with valid reasons.

The Igbo man was not allowed to win the presidential election. It was apparent that the 2023 presidential elections were rigged and look at the rubbish we have to deal with for another couple of years.

The Igbos were denied their rights to vote in Lagos state. They were disenfranchised and attacked by political thugs in the state.


As a matter of fact, Igbos are not allowed to leave Nigeria and formulate their own nation and let these people rule themselves. It’s disheartening how the government has derided the Southeastern folks for so many decades.

You refuse to let them experience freedom for no reason; yet still disenfranchise them on election day. Mehn, The emergence of Tinubu as the president of Nigeria will make Nigerians wish Buhari would do another tenure.

What has the Igbo man done to be maltreated by his fellow Countrymen?

It is only ideal for the Nigerian education system to enlighten it’s citizens and tell them the Southeasterners have done wrong.

The Nigerian Who Isn’t A Brother’s Keeper…

We are all bunch of hypocrites! We claim to love God, however, we are not our brothers keeper, we allowed tribe to blind our hearts to the truth.

On the day the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced APC’s Tinubu as the incoming president of Nigeria, no one celebrated, Nigerians could care less. They understand that the self-acclaimed political strategist shouldn’t be anywhere near the presidential seat, Sanwo-Olu doesn’t deserve a second term and APC as a political party is a structure built on violence, blood and mayhem.
