IGBOS OUTSIDE THE SOUTH EAST ARE ENTITLED TO NIGERIA’S PRESIDENCY - CHIKE OGEAH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2021
- As indigenes of the five southeast states pursue their quest for the emergence of a Nigerian president of Igbo origin in 2023, they have been accused of shutting the doors against other Igbo subgroups, chiefly from the south-south geopolitical zone.
According to indigenes of #Anioma, #Ikwerre, #Etche, #Ibani, #Ukwani and #Ika stock, they share the same socio-cultural systems, language and ancestry with their brethren in the five southeast states.
They are also contending that it will be undemocratic to subvert the rights of Igbos who are not domiciled in the southeast for the quest for an Igbo president, come 2023.
#ChikeOgeah, Managing Director of #McfollyHospitality Limited and former Commissioner for Information in #DeltaState, discusses the push for a Nigerian president of Igbo origin and the views expressed by the Igbo subgroups, which have often been accused by southeasterners of only identifying with them when it is expedient.

No Igbo is more Igbo than others,no matter geopolitical zone. I love this my brother Dr. Chike Ogeah who is from Anioma Oshimmiri of Delta state. I sincerely wish to join my voice in saying that there is nothing like the mainstream Igbo.
And let me also said Igbo people are well united and together in seeking for the Nigeria President come 2023.
It’s a way to divide and rule. And that’s very derogatory
You are right ,no Igbo is more Igbo than others . However ,it is the Igbos from the Rivers ,Delta’s especially from Ndokwa that they are saying that they are not Igbos . They said that they are Ndokwa and those of them that are from the Rivers, said they are Ikwere. Check the list of tribes in Nigeria before the Civil war if there is anything like Ikwere or Ndokwa as tribes . There was nothing like that . Immediately after or during the war ,in order to reduce the population of Igbo ,the Fulanis deceived them that they are not Igbos and they bought into it . In Port Harcourt all the houses belonging to Igbos were seized and call abandon properties by the Ikweres . Tribes are identified by the language they speak . Weather Ikwere ,Aniona , Ndokwa etc are all Igbos but with different dialects. Other Igbos from SE can understand Ikwere, Ndokwa more than Owerri dialect ,yet Owerris have not denied that they are not Igbo. So if they exclude themselves from being Igbos there is nothings anyone can do about it . Yorubas have different dialects but they remain Yoruba .Igbos from the SE have suffered in Nigeria but I know one day it would be over .
I am from Anioma, I am 100% igbo, no igbo is more igbo than me.
You are mad....south south is not Igbo...you denied us and we have rejected you lots
@@Savagemode473 who rejected you? Can Anioma reject Anioma?
@@best4live12 yes you are anioma or whatever, not Igbo
@@Savagemode473 I taught i was replying to fellow anioma, I was just told that I was replying to an intruder. Am anioma, and I am igbo. So deal with it.
@@best4live12 I am Anambranian, and you are not Igbo... period
There is no marginal Igbo group. There is no main stream Igbo. All this rubbish need to stop. When it comes to Igbos they try to divide us all.
My brother don’t allow them to divide us, Igbo is Igbo, there is nothing like main stream Igbo
Here we go again blaming Nigeria for everything
My brother, we’re all Igbo. There’s no difference between south-east igbo and south-south Igbo. It’s our distractors that tried to destroy our unity with their divide and rule strategy. It’s time for us to realize what makes us who we are and build a strong front to pursue a common goal. God bless us all!
They are the ones trying to divid us
Very lonely tribe. No sense talk. South south is northern ally. This fool is talking rubbish
I am from Kwale in Ndokwa west local government area of delta state.. Am am Ibo.. We are all one... Anyi bu ofu.
When it's convenient to you guy's you claim igbo man, when it doesn't you debunk being igbo at every mention. When last did you reach out to other igbo groups online and offline. I have seen lot of you guy's saying bad trash about igbo's. You guy's should better stay on your lane and claim your Benin origin.. leave us igbo's alone..
You're correct my brother. This geographical divides is done to divide us. We should prove them wrong.
@@MrBerry_1 well my brother u are correct am an anioma oshimiri man and i have heard my people say this some of us suffer identity crisis
@@malikmogekwu9781 thanks for being honest. I prefer everybody stick to where they think they came from, if come from Benin it doesn't change or add anything to igboland. Only that today igbo, tomorrow benin it's pathetic.
NO! YOU ARE NOT IGBO....WE IGBOS REJECT YOU... BECAUSE YOU DENIED US
Abati and his tribalism. He does it with smiling facing to deceive gullible Igbo efulefus in Lagos and Abuja.
Stop dividing Igbos Abati. Igbo is Igbo!
Igbo is not Igbo, Anyim Anyim said it clearly, stop deceiving yourselves, if Igbos are Igbos why do you people still practice Osu caste system.
@@meyinmeyin8224 Efulefu. Listen to young Biafrans ably led by MNK and not expired thieves like Anyim. As for the caste system, it is an age long wicked practice. I totally condemn it. The older generations are the ones keeping it alive. Once they are dead, I think it will start waning.
The man is a chronic tribalist or hater of igbos, it's in Rubens blood to blackmail igbos.
@@meyinmeyin8224 Don't cry as it must have been personal to you but things would change.
@@nnfefe9451 Cry for who Igbos, my friend we can not wait for you guys to actualize your Biafra to give Nigeria peace since independence, all that is wrong about the nation is csused by the Igbos, from Zik refusing clause in the constitution to allowed regions to go their separate ways, to Ironsi degree 34 that empowers the center to control all resources in the country that we are fighting against, to Ironsi and Ojukwu denying Niger Delta republic from seceding, to the igbo coup killing political and traditional leaders of the North and other regions without a single Igbo leaders killed, till date that is the cause of the mistrust Igbos created among regions. Pleae you all can start packing and moving back to the east better for Nigria, stay in your region before Biafra is actualized enough of the blackmail.
My brother you are an Igbo man, don't mind this political sentimental analyst called Abati
My big brother you are through original Igbo man pls don't mind them , you answered them intelligently .
Ibos are looking for friends badly.
Correct , an Igbo man is an Igbo man period.
True but engage Igbos of Delta and rivers state and they'll tell you they are not Igbo that they are kwale, Ikwerre,etche, bonny etc. Very confused people
@@lalamie9917 we have rejected those ones...
Igbo is a dot nation which is SE. Then SS is costal nation and never if I nation. Shall never connect.
There is nothing like mainstream Igbos. Igbo anywhere is igbo, the dialect notwithstanding, just like the Yorubas. Dr. Abati stop your usual division of the igbos. Igbos are one and united. Nigeria can never intimidate them.
Unusual division I don't know the problem of Abati he just hate IGBO with great passion but glory be to God for Abati is not God
Mr Chike i love how you answered all the question this people wanted to fall your hand mostly Tondo thanks very much
Chike did a good work there, thank you.
Ruben has been intentional in the way he project Igbos in his interviews... remember when Ohaneze president warned him never to ask any Igbo person that type of a certain question.
I really don't think Dr Abati is intentional about misrepresenting Igbos; can we find a way to not always think everybody else is anti-Igbo?
Rue en Abati
Go away
@@adekunleolusanya4137 It’s a case of guilty conscience.
You can’t be the interviewer and interviewee at once.
This is exactly what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always made clear. There’s nothing like mainstream Igbo. Igbo bu Igbo.
Igbos are one there is no main stream Igbo, I'm from IMO state and I can support candidates like Ndudi Elumelu, Chidi Ogeah or Pat Utomi this guys are more patriotic Igbos than our South East politicians, Asagba of Asaba is more Igbo than even Obi of Onitsha,
The real name of Asaba is Ahaba
@@MaziBiafra meaning?
@@ivieeva6166 Asaba. A long history and Tradition
23 Aug 2009 - Nigeria » Abia » Bende » Ahaba ….its original name (with diacritics) is Ahaba. Nigeria » Abia » Ikwuano » Isiala-Ahaba »….its Original name ( ..
No body is fighting, the fact remains that the fulanis is doing anything possible to retain the presidency, but they will not successed.
You are very very right.
There is absolutely nothing like MAINSTREAM IGBO. Igbo is Igbo, notwithstanding where they find themselves, be it Rivers, Delta, Cross-River, Akwaibom, and even Benue state.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF IGBOS : IGBOS BEFORE THE NIGER AND IGBOS ACCROS THE NIGER , WE ARE ALL ONE, PROF PAT UTOMI SHOULD CONTEST AS AN IGBO MAN
Yes , I support
Igbos want a referendum to decide weither we have to remain in Nigeria or go our separate way
Pat Utomi wants to reap where he didn’t sow. As we speak, he refuses to come down from his high horse. But after others have wallowed in the trenches and made all the sacrifices, he’ll come with all the excuses in the world, with a view to to taking over strategic position. Not right!
Why should you even have this dichotomy because of a river? Doesn't an Igbo from Onitsha have more in common with one from Asaba, which is across the Niger, than he has in common with one from Aba who is on the same side of the Niger? Do Igbos in Rivers state fall in as Igbo before or after the Niger in this your dichotomy?
This man is the most sincere person who has ever spoken of the contemporary Igbo divisiveness
South south cannot be trapped by desperate igbos tribe. Nonsense.
Ruben, you just can't hide your hatred for igbos, you're instigating division among we igbos, there's no sub igbo or mainstream igbos, igbo is igbo period
You might be right my brother but I stay in Rivers State for six years and I can confirm the ikweres in Rivers always reject the fact that they are Igbo's despite answering igbo name.
@@amoohabib8845 No one calls them sub Igbos or nonmainstream Igbos. Igbo is Igbo. If anyone says he is not Igbo, then he is not Igbo. It is not anyone's fault. There is no room for Ikwerre is Igbo or not discussion here, their choice, let them make it and not yours
@@amoohabib8845 The issue this man addressed is, even SS people do not regard them as true SS people. I do not think any Igbo person says Asaba people are not Igbos, rather some people go to every extreme to say they are not Igbos.
I feel him. Nigeria uses them to play cheap politics. They are used to rob SE people of positions like Kachikwu Ibe whom Buhari said is Igbo when SE people told him he does not have any SE person in government.
However, they are never given any SS position.
Dr Reuben is a big disgrace for attempting to create a dichotomy among the Igbo Ethnic group in Nigeria. Again he expressed his profound ignorance for allowing a London trained MKO Abiola's daughter, Tundun to tutor him about the presence of indigenous Igbos in Kogi, Benue and Edo. God bless MNK's soul. He was a man who saw tomorrow. He began early to unite all Igbos in the Zoo, called Nigeria. What the otelectual Ohaneze could not do since they were formed till date.
You and your generations will continue to be desperate
There is nothing like main stream igbos
I am proud of Chike! He is a family friend and brother. We all grew up together. He has spoken well. Any Igbo man - from any state in Nigeria is an Igbo man. It is people like Rueben Abati, with ulterior motives are trying to divide us.
I think so even the igbo politicians dont see them as igbo
@@godwinejiofor8064 stop talking nonsense.
One of the biggest problems with Nigeria is the competition between Yorubas and Ibos. If these two groups learn to cooperate with each other Nigeria will be better of. Some people are unnecessarily fearful of others. For those afraid of an Igbo president, I will advise them to relax. The average Igbo person is progressive and least inclined to play tribal politics. However, when it comes to the presidency, I would rather have a competent non Igbo person than the wrong Igbo man or woman. The problem with Nigeria is that already there are people that are not Igbo canvassing for Igbo candidates for their own ulterior motives. Some want to present a discredited person in order to usurp the possibility of an Igbo presidency. Others seek someone that they feel will protect their interests. What a shame!
@@uchennanwosu4625 I am an igbo I think we should look inward no body hate us the way our people display that hatred towards Yorubas is bad you cant be calling me names and expect me to be friends with you and that is the making reason I dont support agitation that insult other tribes whether we like it or not we need each other. Did you notice the way federal government responded when Yoruba start agitating believe me that tribe is very strong politically in Nigeria if we can all united in the South we will defeat the north. We should try and learn how to live peacefully others.
@@godwinejiofor8064 I totally agree. I don't have anything against Yoruba's as a group. I don't support IPOB nor Nnamdi Kanu although I believe in self determination. Notwithstanding I am fully aware of the machinations of those individual who for reasons best known seek to undermine Igbos. However, the way to resist them is not hurling insults at people. Nnamdi Azikiwe won elections in the west and the north. He had staunch supporters of Yoru b a nationality that remained loyal to him till the end. My father Benjamin Nwosu was the head of the Biafran Research and Production RAP that developed weapons and other technology during the war. A Yoruba man Sir Pierce paid for his entire University education. After the war, many of his University of Ibadan classmates helped our family to reintegrate when we moved to Lagos in 1975 from UNN.
Enemies trying to divide the Ibos! I am hearing mainstream Ibos for the first time
Tudun thanks for talking about Igbos in kogi and benue. Even the so called "Dr abati" does not know about it. And please note that there are Igbos who are indigenous to Edo state as well. Tundun, thanks also for exposing minister amaechi.
We don't want Amaechi
But there are Yorubas in Kogi too
@@godwinejiofor8064 Ok, what does that have to do with anything?
Rubbish where are this so called igbo's in kogi and benue that are not coming out to speak for themselves without us trying to say theyre one of us. Where are They? Are they attending Ohanaeze ndi igbo meeting? They have never come out their chiefs, kings etc have never come out to embrace or claim they're igbo's. I don't believe this stories until I see them showing how proud they're being igbo. This S.S IGBO'S are hypocrites when it about politics.
@@MrBerry_1we have to unite ourselves
Mr Ruban Abati, I am from Enugu State I can tell you that there is nothing like mainstream Igbos, an Igbo is an Igbo irrespective of his geographical location
God forbid your abuse tactics. Igbos from SE looking for tribes to lord. Remember SS is northern ally. Stay clear..
igbos are igbos period ! Mr Chike said it all
Mr Chike your very intelligent, Igbo is Igbo,,,,,,, Reuben want put words on your mouth,,, but you show him that your an Igbo man,,,,,I salute your courage.
Igbos are igbos period
Some people mostly the politicians think that the so called south east are foolish, when things is going well south south will remember that they are equally IGBOs but when it comes to criticism, marginalization, discrimination even call for self determination they will quickly remember that they are South south.
#Endnigerianow for quick development,
WE ARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
Correct....you said it all
language and Name is what make us one as an Ibo man
No SS need igbos, only igbos need south south. . Dot nation
You’re foolish to say this, the Hausa intentionally divided Igboland to turn us to minority
My brother across the Niger, you are 100% Igbo and I like your response to that Reuben Agbati who is bent on raising dust for his selfish reasons. Nobody will deny you your chance to have a shot as an Igbo. Ohaneze have said that too, that any Igbo in any part of Nigeria is accepted.
Now we want every Igbo mischievously carved into other states of the country to raise their voice like you are doing it now. You are all part of the "dot nation".
This is very great man with senes of honor
These are the same people MNK is fighting for while they continually distance themselves from Ibos. Now they are Ibos because of Presidency. Go and be President, all we want is Biafra.
The closing part of Chike is the most intelligent I've ever seen and heard. Thanks Chike Ogeah
Divide and rule Igbo politics that has empowered the north & wrecks Nigeria
I am an lgbo man from anambra state.There is nothing like main stream Igbo.All indigenous igbos in 13 states of Nigeria are the same.None is more Igbo than the other. The well meaning igbos including the Ohaneze should warm the agent of divide and rule in the person of REUBEN ABATI from his evil antics and mischiefs.Let that numenclature main stream Igbo never come out of his mouth again.We are lgbos no matter our indigenous state.Up igbos,let no agent of mischief divide us.
Thank you all..
An Igbo man is an Igbo man full stop.💪💪
Reuben., it's an insult to talk about 'mainstream' Igbos. Igbo is Igbo.
Recently I find that man irritating
Who knows where that fool come s from
Yeye tv
Never would anyone wish to stay with this
Type of person in anyplace atall
I think Dr. Reuben Abati has complex issues with the Igbos, his emotions here says it all.
That's the true dear since Kanu was adopted his contance changes
Is this not the same thing Nnamdi Kanu is campaigning for,but some of those efulefu Igbo people in Delta and Rivers state tries to remove themselves with every opportunity they get
Some of them are doing it for political reasons. very bad of those who will because of power or post deny his/her identity or origin
That is because never trust you. Do t force anyone to be you.
Why can you be the person. Oh wait the person never want you. Only you like attachment. Oya go close to the northern boarder and talk about this stupidities Confuse set of people
So what is wrong with this man speaking up?
Mr Chke Ogeah, you're a true Igbo man. I'm truly proud of you.
All of you should go and meet MNK to teach you about our identity as Igbos. May God bless Mr Chike
Kanu+fulani bandit =1
Osi gini?
Dint know Nnamdi is our origin ancestor that has to teach every igbo their history
Bingo sighted
I'm very happy hearing from this great Igbo man. You are indeed a man of virtue. May the Almighty God bless you sir.
Abati why are you doing this? No Igbo man denies their brothers. Wike denied he is Igbo. Go back and listen to MNK when he said there are Igbos in 13 states, you all and those Igbos said they are not Igbo. Don’t start this nonsense you are putting out there to try to sow seed of discord. Dr utomi has always been with Igbos in everything they do
The Northerners completely divided us the Igbo people 100% and we were very stupid to have fallen for it. With the South East and South South geo political zones was the their best approach to mess us up. We must recognise ourselves and unite. That's the only way to go.
Chaiiiii!!!! The strategy of the Hausa/Fulanis as advised by the British has really worked well on the igbo race. Divide and conquer them. Make them question their ethnicity? Make them deny who they are? This is really funny and foolish. After the Civil War, many igbos carved out into the so called South South zone have refused that they are igbos like the Ikas, Ikwerres etc. Now they have heard of the Presidency being zoned to the igbos or the South East, and suddenly they remembered they are igbos and want a piece of it. How foolish when I see a man named Chike, Oliseh or Wike from the South South say he is not igbo. Go and check a TED talk Sunday Oliseh gave. He started by saying he is not igbo even though his mum is a leader of the Ohaneze Ndigbo. Perhaps he even has no idea the meaning of his surname "Oliseh". Una mumu don over due....
Abacha created the geopolitical zones in 1996 and added one state in each of those zones. Ebonyi, ekiti, zamfara, Gombe, Bayelsa, nasarawa
Be quiet SE cannot be your slaves anymore.
Mind your business. Don't claim SE then you are in a big everlasting mess.
You are very correct. Pat Utomi will be a great and upright President
Waoh, Chike is such an intelligent man, he just made my day with this insightful delivery and trashed down all the negatives questions, kudos to Chike
Dear brother, you are what you are, you are 💯% lgbo man, thank you for your true talk.
Mr Chike you have really said it all , just have just displayed Igboness. God bless you sir
There’s nothing like “main stream igbos”. Igbo is Igbo. Owerri have their own dialect. Nsukka have theirs. Just as Asaba has theirs. Igbo is Igbo. Simple.
Funny thing is that it is actually those igbo people outside the 5 south east states that are questioning their own Igboness
What is the meaning of main stream igbo? This is Animal talk, all is igbo is the same, i dislike all this nonsense delta igbo, river igbo,benue state igbo and co, as long as you speak igbo, no one is better igbo to you

We are all igbos........Delta state citizens are Main igbos no doubt about that
Dr Abati met his match in Chike Ogeah. Every effort by Dr Abati to "divide or categorize" the Igbos was instantly challenged by Mr Ogeah.
These are wonderful submissions from Chike Ogeah!
Abbati tried hard to push the false narratives of ( Igbos don't have consensus among themselves) as usual but Chike stood his ground and continued to put the record straight!
The punch line:
'Nigeria should not ask of Igbos what they did not as of other Nigerians"
Since year 2003 Buhari have contested elections against all the Northern candidates.
Yoruba never gave obj their support. They had their candidate.
Kudos Chike Ogeah for this wonderful outing!!
Thanks chike for putti g this bigots in there place, trying hard to bring divisive politics, not sure why abati is tribalistic.
Don't you know where he is coming from. He can fool his fellow hypocritical followers not the smart Igbos. We don't give hoot about jealous people like him.
Dr chike hit the nail at the head, I'm from asaba and my maternal grandfather and 2 uncles were killed in the asaba massacre 😢
I am an Ika man in Anioma , in delta state I am an Igbo man. If at all confidence can not be given to across the nigeria Igbo let mouth 👄 of Igbos have it. They have all it takes to produce president. We have Okowa , ngozi , ndudi , osai osia, utomi, elumelus , wike , I don't mind amechi even if he is a sold out etc Emefiele is making move already. But otherwise give it to peter obi we need to protest at the nigeria birdge give it to peter obi , give it to peter obi
We are one the politicians can not being deceiving us anymore igbos of 1960 is not the igbos of 2021 we are now united want we want biafra or president thank you brother chike nice one bro
Which one is mainstream igbos? I so much admire this man, this chike, he's learned. When matters concerning Ndigbo is raised every dick and Harry will surface and be asking unnecessary questions like Abati.
I grew up wondering this kind of nonsense, and they never mentioned sub and main Yoruba or Hausa that is scattered every where.
It's really pathetic how Reuben Abati seems incapable of hiding his bias against Igbo people. I hope he outgrows this unbecoming quality for a journalist
Reuben Abati gets excited about anything thing that casts Ibos in bad light. He was grinning ear to ear with his divide and rule mentality. Journalists like him thrived in their bias when people didn't know any better. Now, people are smarter and can spot his bias. If he keeps that up, he will soon become irrelevant in his profession.

They're always quick to debunk igbo when it suits them. I know them very well. Now igbo man wants to click the presidential throne, they're now claiming theyre igbo to get our V.P sit.... Only true igbo man at heart and not the ones that claim igbo when they want to steal a political position.

God forbide south south hates South east. Oppressors. Go and develop your SE. Control yourself.
They are lonely tribe
Igbos we are all one no matter where you come from
We are all Igbos.Good point from Chike.
Dr Abati, please stop this divide and rule mentality and scheme in Nigeria.
The Igbos doesn't deny their brothers from the other regions rather the federal character does and have put that in their heads which makes some of the indigens within south south denying his igboship.
Superb! Chike dealt with them and exposed their hateful and dehumanizing out-look towards the Igbos. "Why should you people ask from the Igbos what you did not ask from other Nigerians in similar situations"? That question exposed the fact that they see Igbos to be different human beings. However, they will cry wolf whenever the same Igbos insist that we are different and therefore, deserve our inalienable right to self-determination just like the people of Kosovo who are different from Serbs and others who see them as sub-humans.
The same people who always accuse the Igbos of disunity but they are the worst, in the north for instance, a small argument can quickly result to 100 deaths and burning of property, the west fought brutal wars among yourselves even today they still have crises,
The Igbos can argue, sometimes push themselves, but they always resolve their issues especially when the federal government is not involved, any crises that lasts in the Igboland is always engineered from Abuja just like imo state today.
Igbo love them self?
Thank God that you have made it open and clear here that the so called Igbo coup was not from the South East, but why were the Fulanis not only blaming the south east Igbos for that war, but oppressing and killing the South East Igbos since the war ended? The Igbos are saying that the Rivers state Igbos are choosing and picking to be Igbos only when it suits them, but a person like Wike has come out and boldly denied that he is not an Igbo. The Igbos themselves never denied their brothers in the River lines, but some of those Igbos are the ones always in denial. The question is why is this denial? Are they still afraid of the Fulani federal forces?
This conversation is an apt expression of why identity politics is inevitably unsustainable...
Power to the south...
Where in the south...
South East ...
Who in the south East...
Igbo...
What type of Igbo...
Does an Igbo man from lagos or Kano or Benue qualify...
The divisions that identity politics creates is endless
No Igbo is more Igbo than the other, we all Igbos, it's high time we unite ourselves so we can move forward
When Peter Odili wanted to contest for president of Nigeria, OBJ asked him, which tribe are you, Odili answered thus- am a River man. OBJ told him, River is not your tribe rather a State. Go and know your history before you become a president of Nigeria.
Chike, you are full blooded Igbo man just like Chibuike Amaechi. The problem we have is the 'divide and rule' of the Nigerian State. They divide us to rule us. Nigeria is insincere and that's why it is not developing. They want to suppress our intellect and deligence. Unfortunately, they did not create us. There is nothing like main Igbo. We are all Igbos until Nigeria came to so seeds of discord. I'm proud of you Chike Ogeah. God bless you.
The usual problems of lack of unity amongst the various tribal groups in the South generally! So, even if the Presidency is given gratis to the Igbos, there will also be a disagreement between them! The same can also be said about the Yorubas. One can hardly find such division in the North. No wonder the whole of the South can not call the bluff of the North through Buhari!
I beg to disagree with you on the fact that you can't find such division in the north, if that's the case then Atiku shouldn't have contested against Buhari who's also from the north even though Buhari was the incumbent.
@@emmanueluche4994 Yes, Emmanuel. You may have a point there, but the North was only being strategic fielding both of them, knowing that head or tail, they win. Remember, Atiku is also Fulani like Buhari. He wasn’t contesting against Buhari as a different kind of Fulani. Apart from the Middlebelt, the rest of the North appear to be more homogeneous than we in the South are, Emmanuel.
WIKE ONCE SAID THAT HE HAS NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THE IGBOS, SUDDENLY TODAY HE COMING BACK TO CLAIM IGBO TRIBE.
Please there is nothing like main stream Igbos all Igbos are one this division will not work again it must expire
God bless you Chike for telling the truth.
It's not a question of zoning, tribe, state of origin, geographical area, religion. It's a question of running Nigeria with the fear of God and respect for humanity. Effective management of our mineral resources, and good leadership skills. Someone that can genuinely manage diversity in Nigeria without prejudice.
Nwanne m nwako Chika i really like you and the way you put put your words
What this man is saying is simple the truth, because even the so call south south as whole are one not to talk of Igbos from Asaba . The north and west are deciding us to create enemity among us for their own selfish interest
Here in Italy they so much of livestock but you can never see them outside.
Chike Ogeah thanks for granting this interview
This is evil against igbo when it's come to politics they will say South South is igbo,, mazi kun is always right
An Igbo man is an Igbo man is an Igbo man!
There is nothing like mainstream Igbos . They are the people said that they are not Igbos . Amaechi and Wike have openly denied that Ikwere’s are not Igbos . After the war the Ikweres seized all the Igbos houses and termed it abandoned properties.
Bro, Wike you must talk to, he said he is not Igbo… His junior brother is the president of Ohanaeze ndiigbo in South Africa.
This is one of the reasons Gowon destroyed the east by creating states and dividing them into SS AND SE. Mr. Abati pls cut the foolery, Igbo is Igbo all over the world.
Gone are those days when you people had the temerity to divide us. We are all Igbos and no man born of a woman can divide us again. Igbo Amaka!
Thanks to you guys in Arise TV for discussing this topic.
No Igbo person is greater than any others but you don't deny yourself and want others or anybody to recognise you.
A young man called Frank chikadibia osakwe from ndokwa delta state was asked in a program if he is Igbo? He answered South South while everything he speaks and name is Igbo as he also believe or recognise the Igbo four market days.
Now you can see he is the one denying his original identify and identified his self with the he was brainwashed to accept.
Accept first that you are an Igbo person then your geopolitical zone is secondary.
God bless the Igbo nation.
Contact me to inbox you the video for clarity.
I live in the Niger delta, we see a whole lot on a daily, This supposed dichotomy is often brought into the picture by they themselves....they often want to insist they're non Igbos....a case of self exclusion, but where does this leave all of us?
Nobody is shutting out anybody.
Zoning as a concept in Nigerian political lexicon is according to geopolitical zones and not according to tribes. If it is tribal then any Igboman anywhere is at liberty to vie.
Don't divide us .igbo are one people.
Igbo people are one both in flesh and in soul irrespective of their locality in igbo geographical zone. Nothing is like Igbo mainstream.it is divission
Dr Chike, well done. You are true son of lgbo origin. Proud of you. Nothing will divide the lgbos no matter the insinuation whether main stream or not. Proud of your stand about lgbos. Together we stand.
Mr Abati please stop this your main stream igbo mr chike have told u time without numbers that there's nothing like that igbo is igbo whether u like it or not
Arise news please we are all Igbos stop dividing us
Chike God bless you bro, I hope ATURU Wike can watch this all in the name of getting president very foolish man
I m currently living in Finland,I met two guys Onyeka and Ejiofor by name,they categorically told me,there are not Igbos.
They have been deceived
When it comes presidency they want to belong to igbo but when it comes population issue or any other issues they deny to be igbo
Mr Chike you are an Igbo man for real no doubt, this is what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been preaching we cannot abandon our own brothers and sisters to the evil of divide and rule. Onye aghala nwanne ya. One love!
