‘Igbos Are The Most Foolish Tribe In The World – MASSOB Leader, Uwazurike

Founder and leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, has described the Igbo tribe as foolish.
In a chat with PUNCH, The MASSOB founder insisted that Igbo may not become Nigeria’s president because they only fight for their pocket.
He recalled how Igbo was pushed aside after forming the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 1999.
He insisted that anyone calling for the unity of Nigeria does not mean well for the already troubled nation.
His words, “Remember, it was the Igbo man that formed this PDP but they snatched it from him. Then, it was clear that an Igbo man would be the President of Nigeria. But in Jos, it was the Igbo who robbed themselves of that opportunity. The Igbo at that political event in Jos started speaking Hausa.
“The Igbo started sponsoring (Olusegun) Obasanjo against (Alex) Ekwueme; giving N100 million and all that to another tribe to emerge. Let me tell you, the Igbo tribe is the most foolish tribe I have ever seen in the world.
“While the Yoruba embraced unity, the Igbo man was the person speaking Hausa in Jos; the Igbo man was the one donating money against his own brother in Jos to another candidate.
“Is that a wise tribe? Then, who should I apologise to for using the word ‘foolish?’ Then what have we achieved from the PDP? For how many years have the Yoruba people used the PDP? Eight years! Now, when it was the turn of the South-East, they sent it to South-South.”

  Barca must recover identity following Champions League horror show – Setien by Sacha Pisani 15 Aug 2020, 02:34 Quique Setien said Barcelona must recover their identity after suffering a humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League as the embattled head coach heads towards the exit door. Barca conceded eight goals in a game for the first time since 1946 as the LaLiga giants crashed to an embarrassing quarter-final loss in Lisbon on Friday. Lionel Messi's Barca, who trailed 4-1 at half-time, plunged into crisis, having already been dethroned by bitter rivals Real Madrid in LaLiga this term. Barca defender Gerard Pique called for "changes at all levels" after Barca lost in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the fourth time in five seasons. With Setien – who only replaced Ernesto Valverde in January – reportedly set to be sacked, the former Real Betis boss said: "Pique is a footballer who has been here all his life and I have only been he...

Cup final hero Aubameyang has Arsenal dreaming of a brighter future

 Cup final hero Aubameyang has Arsenal dreaming of a brighter future Two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw Arsenal come from behind to beat  Chelsea  2-1 at Wembley and ensured they did not suffer the embarrassment of missing out on European football next season for the first time in 25 years. They can now plan for the 2020-21 campaign - which gets underway in just 42 days time - safe in the knowledge that they will have   Europa League   revenue coming their way. Europe’s second tier competition may not bring with it the riches of the  Champions League , but it can still bring in a decent amount of money - as the £35 million Arsenal pocketed from their run to the 2019 final proved. And for Mikel Arteta that extra money could be vital as he looks to reshape a squad that - despite this victory - is in desperate need a rebuild. What Arteta as done since walking through the doors at the Emirates Stadium has been extraordinary. It is ...
