Re-Fulani Solidarity And The Betrayal Of Bola Tinubu

[Chidi Anthony Opara]

What about the Yoruba solidarity and the betrayal of Ibrahim Babangida in 1999? What about the Ijaw solidarity and the betrayal of Olusegun Obasanjo in 2011? Not to mention the earlier Fulani solidarities and betrayals of Mko Abiola and Olusegun Obasanjo in 1979 and 2007 respectively.

Truth is that this artitude has been prevalent in Nigeria and Bola Tinubu should have known that. Anyway, I have always known that Tinubu made a very serious political miscalculation.

So Yoruba, Ijaw and Hausa/Fulani have conspired at a point to betray somebody, but not Igbo people? That "Ijaw solidarity" didn't include Igbo as the arrowhead or this is just a case of selective amnesia?

You Igbo writers are a funny lot.

Only a patently jaundiced mind will conclude that one man's opinion makes a group a funny lot. CAO expressed a personal view point. He is entitled to it. He even stated that "he" (not th Igbo people) always knew that "Tinubu made a serious political miscalculation. Why bring the Igbo people into this conversation?

The Igbophobic response below is totally uncalled for. Opara's post does not justify this ethnically twisted response. Let's end this exchange now before we hold the USA-Africa list hostage with our incurable Nigerian ethnic mudslinging.
