WE ARE IGBOS

We are the people who set up a 31-year guerrilla resistance movement in Anioma, against British imperial expansion and economic intrusion, thus blessing the history of mankind with the famous Ekumeku War of 1883-1914.

We are the guys who, between 1891 & 1902 staged a major military conflict where the Aro Confederacy fought to defend its long-standing commercial monopoly, spiritual center (Ibinu Ukpabi), and regional autonomy against British Invasion. History remembers this as The Aro war/Aro Resistance

We are the guys who resisted multiple colonial taxation on our women in 1929, and 25,000 plus of our mothers came together in signature Igbo defiance to leave a revolutionary footprint called Aba Women Riots.

In the Early 20th Century, a local revolt by the people of Abiriba against the arbitrary authority of British-appointed warrant chiefs and unfair taxation, led to what history would later remember as Abiriba Rebellion.

Have you ever heard of The Enugu Coal Miners' Resistance in 1949? Oh, that was super high-stakes labor strike by coal miners at the Iva Valley mine in Enugu, who were protesting poor wages and conditions, which turned into a historic anti-colonial flashpoint when British police opened fire and killed 21 miners.

Are you counting?

Here’s another one: 1940s - 1950s, an organized movement of market women in Onitsha fiercely resisted an exploitative colonial price controls, trade restrictions, and taxation. What resulted from that signature Igbo resistance is remembered today as The Onitsha Market Women Protest.

I’m not finished.

In May 1803, around 75 enslaved Igbo people—trafficked via the Middle Passage—overpowered their captors on a smaller coastal vessel named the York after arriving in Savannah, Georgia. Their anger? They were mostly warriors from present day ANAMBRA State and were tricked into making that trip by the slavers. When they realized they were going to be sold as slaves, they staged a revolt, overpowered their captors, capsized the vessel and committed mass suicide by drowning themselves! It’s today remembered as Igbo Landing. They chose the sea; They chose death over slavery, over culture theft, over the misappropriation of their cultural heritage!

They were Igbos. We are Igbos. We are these people today. They’re all back to finish what they started, through us.

Believe me when I tell you the person who will steal and misappropriate our cultural identity and heritage is not yet born. Believe me.

For we Igbos, the battle for total and complete freedom doesn’t end in death, neither does it end in imprisonment. It simply ends when the freedom is won, and this is the generation of reincarnated ancestors who are here to secure that freedom at all costs. This isn’t rhetorics.

We live now, but we have lived before. If we die fighting, it wouldn’t be our first, but it would sure be our last, because we won’t leave this fight for another generation. It ends here.

Igbo Ga Adiri.

@amanpour What’s this Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Uganda 🇺🇬 king. Don’t you know the difference between the two countries

[J. C. Okechukwu @jcokechukwu]

Dear @abikedabiri my sister. This is the first time I’m having to engage you on social media and for a very disturbing reason.

The post you just made of Dr. Bolu Ogunyemi is no doubt worthy of commendation, because Bolu is a brilliant mind, but this event took place in 2024.

What happened to the more recent praise-worthy and commendable achievement by pharmacist, Chika Onochie who has just won CAD$100,000 research award for his groundbreaking male fertility study in the same Canada?

You know as much as I do that a lot of people have concluded you’re unashamedly tribalistic, especially in the way you discharge your duties. I’ve never gotten involved in that conversation about you. But the moment I saw this post, my alarm bells went off.

Could it be that, rather than post about this milestone by an Igbo boy which literally just happened and has been widely reported in the media, you went all the way back to 2024 to pull a Yoruba-centric milestone by Dr. Bolu? That’s flat out tribalism!

You’re neither a content creator nor a social media activist. You are a public servant taxed with ensuring the wellbeing and unity of Nigerians in diaspora, not Yorubas in diaspora - through the Nigerians in Diaspora Organization.

To see something like this from you has further buttressed my long held notion that this administration’s nepotism is extremely infectious and unlike anything we’ve seen since the life of this nation. And this is what happens when it trickles down from the top.

Honestly, this is very regrettable and I think you should apologize and retrace your steps.

You are building a "Hormuz" in Nigeria

1. About 90–95% of Nigeria’s export trade by value passes through Lagos and the South-West,

2. About 75–85% of Nigeria’s import trade by value passes through Lagos and the South-West.

3. About 95–99% of Nigeria’s merchandise (goods) trade by value moves by sea. Exports: 98.99% by maritime transport. Imports: 94.74% by maritime transport

If anything happens to Lagos, and the roads and rails in Apapa, Nigeria will starve, and almost all industries will close down; it's not hyperbole. Look at the numbers above

Thus, the FGN should open up the nation's trade routes and build redundancies. This is not tribal; it's trade

In May 2023, the Federal Government signed an agreement with Imo State and the Nigerian Navy to dredge the Oguta/Orashi River, which will open up the South East to the Atlantic via Degema

Dredging this river, and any river, to open up the Eastern waterways would, and I quote President Tinubu, "help decongest the Lagos port corridor, reduce pressure on the Apapa and Tin Can Island ports, and lower costs and delays for importers, exporters, and consumers."

Today, the FGN has moved on from this project in Imo State and the Abia State Azumini project; the South East Governors developed the projects, but the FGN has moved on

I have a simple ask: is President Bola Tinubu facilitating road, rail and power connectivity, strengthening investment security and our maritime domain, and removing unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles for any port outside the South West of Nigeria

I ask so I can be educated.

What do you think about this 50 year roadmap for the South East?

Aba - Manufacturing.
Make it the factory of Africa.

Onitsha - Trade & Logistics.
Build Africa’s most efficient commercial and distribution hub.

Nnewi - Engineering & Industrial Production.
From spare parts to machines, automobiles and advanced manufacturing.

Awka - Technology & Skilled Talent.
Build the engineers, technicians, software developers and craftsmen our industries need.

Enugu - Education, Research & Innovation.
Turn it into a university city where knowledge becomes companies, patents and industries.

Ebonyi - Agriculture, Food Processing & Solid Minerals.
Stop exporting raw produce and minerals. Process everything here.

Owerri - Technology, Creative Economy & Hospitality.
Build a city that attracts young talent, startups, entertainment and tourism.

Umuahia - Agriculture, Biotechnology & Agro-industry.
Research what we grow. Improve it. Process it. Export it.

Then connect ALL of them with rail, reliable power, broadband, highways and a single regional market.

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy

My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.

We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.

The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.

The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.

It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.

If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO

Unfortunately, Ogun and Lagos States are the most affected by this WAEC glitch. A lot of children, families and schools have been left in a devastating situation.

The HNO, despite all his qualifications and years of experience, has demonstrated that he is incompetent to handle such an important educational organisation.

We will explore every legal means available to protect and safeguard the future of these children.

For those adults whom have chosen the path of folly, kindly consider the future of your own children.

Alex is not writing WAEC, and no one in his family is writing WAEC. This is not personal. This is about protecting the future of children.

This is a Rufai Oseni Appreciation Post.

Take the damn garden, man! flowers won’t cut it.

You are built tough, and thank you for refusing to be bought, bullied, silenced, or intimidated.

On behalf of millions of sensible Nigerians who don’t support criminals or a drug trafficker, thank you, @ruffydfire, for standing your ground and refusing to bend the knee.

In a country where many people can be bought, your refusal to compromise is refreshing.

Keep standing.
Keep speaking.
Keep doing your damn thing.

Senator Peter Onyekachi Nwaebonyi went to campaign at Izzi where there was no bridge across the river to connect to the town, so he stood on the other side of the river to solicit for votes. APC has governed Ebonyi State for over 11yrs, yet there's been no developments in Izzi. If this isn't wickedness, then tell me what the value of the APC government is.

He is the same person who told us that a settlement in Abuja has to be relocated simply because it doesn’t present a good view to him when he is descending from a plane!

This is the manner of people holding public offices in Nigeria.
