IGBOS! Let's Wake Up from this Our Political Slumber..........

I read one of our 'Political Hybrid' Igbo saying that he'll rather be a Bench Warmer in Super-Eagles (National Team/Party) than be a Regular Player in 'Enyimba FC of Aba' or 'Rangers of Enugu' (Regional Team/Party). That's his way of promoting APC over APGA. And I promptly replied him that I'll rather die fighting for National Recognition of 'Heartland of Owerri' and 'Abia Warriors' than promoting '3SC of Oyo' or 'Osun United' to the National Team level.

The only weapon the likes of this fellow always use to attack us (those defending for a platform that will project Igbo Agenda and Ideologies) is name-calling. Words like; Uncivilised, Traditional, Tribalistic, Bigot, Myopic, Sentimental, etc. always come handy to them. And I keep asking when the Igbos that are the most traveled and most free-minded tribe in Nigeria became Tribalistic than our co-tenants: Awusa and Ofe-Mmanu of this land-area called Nigeria? Or do these our Hybrid Igbos suffering from Inferiority Complex now want to tell us that they're more Civilized than USA? If African-Americans, Indians, Latinos, etc. in USA always associate, belong, identify and prefer Democrats to ' White-Supremacist' Republicans, what's then tribalistic in Igbos doing same with APGA over APC?? Or is Nigerians now also more Civilized than Germans who have 'Christian Democratic Union' and 'Christian Social Union' as Political parties??? I put it to anyone that if USA were practising Multi-Party system, all these ethnicities would've floated their respective Political Parties to project the Interests.

I also keep asking;
What's 'National' about APC that isn't 'International' in APGA?
What's 'Cocastic' about their Members that isn't 'Fantastic' about APGA?
What's 'Twoderful' about their Structure that isn't 'Wonderful' about APGA?
What's 'Sweet' about being an Appendage to Awusa-Ofe Mmanu that isn't 'Honey' in Igbos writing their own History?

What's our (Igbos) stake in the so called national party "PDP" that Igbos (Alex Ekwueme, Emeka Offor, Jim Nwaobodo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Orji Uzor Kalu, to mention but this few) formed? I've associated, argued, discussed and mingled with Awusa and Ofe-Mmanu people so much that I can perceive their smell 10miles away. The much Igbos can ever get if they should agree to the 2nd-Wife in this Unholy Marriage called APC is;
Perpetual reminding by Awusa that we (Igbos) joined because they're afraid of being Killed by their Boko-Haram.
While, Ofe-Mmanu shall forever boast that they coerced us (Igbos) to join because of their Political Sophistication over us.

Umunnem na Umunnam, let's wake up from our Political Slumber and rid ourselves of this terminal disease called "Inferiority Complex". There's NOTHING Awusa or Ofe-Mmanu person can do for Igbos that we can not do for ourselves.
