Former Military Leader, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida popularly known as IBB has sent out a message to Igbo people following a visit by an Igbo group in celebration of his 78th Birthday.
IBB encouraged Igbos to ensure that Nigerians continue to feel their positive Impact. He explained that this was important due to their tenacity in business enterprises which spans the length and breadth of the country and beyond.
The Igbo Delegates Assembly (IDA), from the 19 Northern states and Abuja, visited the former leader to celebrate his recent 78th birthday. The delegation was led by the IDA president, Chief Chikezie Okezie and the Eze Igbo of Minna, Eze Pampas Wahiwe.
“You should continue to allow your positive impacts to be felt among host ethnic nationalities in the country, as you explore business opportunities available.
“Nigerians, Igbos inclusive, should ensure they uphold the ideals of Nigeria’s founding fathers.
“An indivisible Nigeria is very necessary and we must do everything possible to remain as one family, though we differ in tribe and tongue,” he said.
“You should use the same spirit of enterprise to promote peaceful co-existence among Nigerians, in all that you are doing.
“You have done well to keep Nigeria together. The Igbos are known to have the potentials of travelling far and wide, exploring new frontiers and business opportunities,” he said.
Take your advice to your fellow Fulani herdsmen, we don’t need it, you are one of the destroyers of Nigeria, you killed Dele Giwa, you killed people in the Ejigbo plane crash, you killed officers in the Calabar plane crash , you destroyed nigeria in your SAP, you devalued Naira, you divided NIG into 6 geopolitical problem zone that recreated tribalism, you are evil, you stole NIG oil boom money during gulf war, , Nigerians would never forget you in a hurry for the nightmare and the monster you created, you killed your Yoruba Friend Abiola , you killed your Hausa Friend Maman varsa ., You are a wicked man. Do not advice Igbos , we don’t need your advice , those Igbos who went to greet you are doing so for their selfish interest, they don’t know you, you stepped aside thinking that you may come back, but God has shown you that the blood of your victims will incapacitate you on a wheelchair for the rest of your life. . It’s too late.
Note
He killed one of the Journalist
Thank you my fellow Nigerian, you have said it all.
That’s food for thought. Thanks posterity Will judge them.
PURE
I expect to hear him talk to them about producing next president come 2023 nothing more nothing less ibos should know that with unity among them selves is their time for having president take note
I ‘ve absolute respect 4 our leaders, bt n everything dere is always an exception, dis God4bidden creature is solely responsible 4 our naira devaluation which has further led 2 hardship and many oder inhuman calamities befallen dis great nation.
You seems not understand the important of unity . I think is when there is unity among us that we can talk of good leadership, and such can come from any part of the Country.as long as he will accept each of us as one Nigerian Citizen .Have a good day Sir.
His Excellency Babangida the exLeader has spoken right.He had an Ibo late wife and he should be very concerned about the great Ibo tribes. Obviously, Ibo tribe Is one of the very important tribes in Nigeria. Secession of Ibo tribe will undermine and affect Nigeria adversely. As a Leader,he has to point out all the factors that is causing the reason for secession quests and recommend effective correction.
Igbo’s own Nigeria economy adding political power to it that mean absolute power which will not be good for Nigeria I will support the position of vice president or president of Senate .When I was small the IBO trader in our town told me that the meaning of IBO. Is ( I before others)
You are the worst mumu I have ever heard of.
We not ibo, we are Ndi Igbo.
Ibo means nothing to us, we can’t bear ibo, because is only the people that doesn’t know us that calls us ibo.
Ndi Igbo, that’s what we are.
Der is no tribe in Nigeria called IBO rather we have an Igbo tribe. Secondly Igbos are not in control of de Nigeria economy but dey are merchant of finished goods produced in foreign counties. Thirdly Igbos are always de hard hit each time govt rolls out economic policies targeted at stimulating local production of goods nd services. Fourtly, de buying nd selling dat de Igbos are engaged is a venture anyboby or tribe in Nigeria can also do successful. Lastly, I suggest dat Nigeria as country going through numerous challenges needed de input of a man from de east to consolidate on de no doubt achievement of Bihari.
Na today, them don dey sacrifice themselves and their family, dey wake from from pilar to post all in the bid of one Nigeria, but my people lef politics one side. How far ???????. To God be the Glory! Which way Nigeria ! At the 6th
Decades now heading to 7th Decades way no ho . Me atire Yahoo!
Keep on decieving yourself and believing your smart . We’re not one and could never be. We ‘ve tried this unity of a thing for decades, but all in vain. It’s only a lazy man that refuses to try something different.
Thank you my brother.
we are not one family at all and can never. Evil country men at work in Nigeria
Unity in injustice.These brats that are now talking about unity killed the first Nigerian military leader in a coup geard towards secession of the north only to be desuaded by the exploitative Britain. Now they are talking about a nauseating indivisible Nigeria. Only the insane and the dead can take then serious
According to u reaible sources
Save that stupid sermon to yourself and to your fellow Janjaweed
Nigeria / Nigerians has reach a pick of civilization. The greatest inventions on Earth this days is been done by Nigerians in other countries. ” There is no further development in this Country except Nigeria is divided. 1, Ethnicity 2. Religious different.3. Multi – Culture. 4. Lack of trust. Let’s encourage division to speed up development amist curiosity. Let’s establish a United States of Nigeria now .
Out of the 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria, the Ibo zone; the South East geopolitical zone is the small. How can they win presidency?

Words of elders are sources of wisdom. Whether or not he made mistakes when in power, doesn’t mean that his advise should be considered improper
IBB is a jocker. He has succeeded in saying nothing. He should throw his advice to the wind because he has nothing significant to offer Nigerians; his government and dictatorial leadership of 1985-1993 formed the nuclei from which all manners of evil, crime, embezzlement, and sundry corrupt practices emanated. The innocent children born of hardship and hunger during his tenure are the ones that have metamorphosed into all brand of criminals, bandits, and brigands that are giving the nation lots of hiccups today. So, sir, please keep your advice to yourself inorder not to let the tongues spew out its foul contents.

With all due respect, I think what the former president has done is simply asking a child to stop crying, not minding the root cause of his pain. Nigeria will move forward when we start addressing the problem of the people and not just the people. Thanks.
Talk louder,i hearing you with all ears
Save that stupid sermon to yourself and to your fellow Janjaweed
This man destroyed Nigeria and instituted corruption. He is one of the major problems of Nigeria.
Well said nwafor
The oneness we have tried for over sixty years and we are still battling up to date,why don’t we seat together and improvise a new system that be workable and acceptable to all that can fix us as a Nation
Though, you Babangida you are one of our major problem who formitted the ungoings.God forgive you.Happy birthday.
The only way to settle Biafra and Nigeria is when the three major language that makes up Nigeria, that is Igbo,Hausa and Yoruba set on a dialogue table and decided to shift 2023 president to south east only then this dream of Biafra Will end,if Nigerians could recall after the Biafra war know Igbo Man has emerge president for more than 52 years now no igbo Man has become president and you people hope to keep Nigeria as one two people can not keep what belong to three if we all say we are One Nigeria thank you all.
That’s advise should go to your Fulani jahadist not for the Igbos , u have forgotten in a hurry that you are the grass root of Nigerians problem
Who gave him mouth to talk. He should cover his face in shame. That’s to tell you our leaders have no shame at all. Babangida was the architect that designed and laid corruption foundation in Nigeria- chop I chop. He destroyed and placed Nigeria in the state it is today ( he laid the foundation). He should be in hiding. Shame to our leaders, non can boost of any legacy. Nigerian leaders ask yourselves, if I passed on today what would I be remembered for. “ONLY LOOTING ” SHAME TO YOU ALL BOTH PAST AND PRESENT.
Let there be Peace!!!
After staying together, what next,so you can not tell your people to give the Igbos their own fair share of the national cake, Give us President or nothing.
The will suffer forever bad people’s how they killed sir Ahmadu bello and tafawa balewa’ just for nothing
They will not be allowed for president forever because of their selfishness and the way they kill ours leader like tafawa balewa and sir Ahmadu bello
He even supposed to be in for long if not tribalism
