Why Do Igbo People Support Criminals?

[rash77_odus@yahoo.com]

this issue should not be over flogged the attitude of the some igbos when it comes to the political rem is ridiculously deceitful that is why they can never have a voice at a common goal except a selfish goal although all other tribe has thiers but some Igbos we never contribute where they we never achieve there self interest.
And not until the Igbos come to reason of clubing there minds to actualise there dreams this perception will grow more in the heart of people.

I think you and Ayo need to have your heads examined. And i also think the both of you owe this forum an apology not only to the Igbo's but to every Nigerian in here. Both of you are the kind of people we need to eliminate from this country along with all our criminal politicians, Soludo included.
You do not just write without thinking, such only happens when you have a peanut for a brain which i guess the both of you have.
Do not generalize issues because i can give you both an example from each tribe in Nigeria that does what you have both written. We need to get this tribalistic mentality away so we can finally build the nation the likes of Zik dreamed of.

Since When does the action of one individual constitute that of a people or tribe. Last time I looked Nigeria is a free country and individuals have a right to do what they must do. So Okocha can express himself as he sees fit even if Soludo has to sell himself to the electorate. I do not see anyone getting bent out of shape when a Yoruba or Hausa or any other Nigerian supports another why single out the Igbos. I know that charity begins at home so whom else can you immediately trust but one of your own. When Obama was elected he sought out his fellow Illinoisian - Rahm Emmanuel as his chief of Staff, I think as you go down the line of American presidents you will find that most took their trusted men from their state of origin Bush, Clinton to name a few. Now, perhaps you are mad at Okocha, but he has a right too even if he is a national icon. Everybody wants to get ahead and the morality of how they do may be in question, but the inalienable right to do so is not.

You may not like Soludo's politics, but since the man has not been charged with a crime nor convicted, he is not a criminal only an accused and all else is mere conjecture. Tell me who in Nigeria is indeed untainted. You will be a bigger fool if in Nigeria you are entrusted with power and position not to exploit it, you do not have a choice you are made to. Period. For the record, Nigeria is so messed up in ways unimaginable that if Obasanjo could come back and run the country for eight years, then the return of Babangida should surprise no one either, yet these are honorable men. No? In Nigeria white collar criminals are honorable men, and for that matter same thing is true in the USA so get real. Its not what you do but the way that you do it!

I think you better shotup your mouth if you dont have what to do or say, who in this wide world do not know nigerian politics and even the world atlarge. why bring your self so low by giving people the impression that its an igbo race affair. i suggest you look for a better topic that will enrich your mind and follow. than fooling your self on line

Sometimes i wonder where Nigeria is heading, the old ones did so much havoc, instead of the young ones to sit down and work things out, we are busy looking for which tribe should bear the fault. For heaven sake, i have this assignment for all of you guys, if you really want to know which tribe should bear the whole fault, sit down like jobless dude, write down the list of everyone involved in any fraudulent act in this country, maybe then you will have enough info to prove your points, meanwhile many people are out there trying to work things out for good, while your are even listing...
Moreover, i thought a forum exist to get issues ironed out not to diss nor insult! Otherwise i dont think i belong here.

God bless this Great Nation. Amen.
