Nigeria is Radicalizing the Igbo, One Injustice at a Time by Abolaji Rasaq

There’s something about persecution that does two things to a people: it either breaks them, or it makes them beasts of survival.

For centuries, they were hunted, hated, and humiliated by empires. But they didn’t vanish. They evolved. They adapted. And today, the Jews are arguably the most powerful tribe in the world economically, intellectually, and politically. Ruthless when necessary.

They are unapologetic about their survival. Now, look at the Igbo. A tribe known for industry, resilience, and brilliance. A people who just want to live, do business, and thrive. But Nigeria doesn’t want that. Nigeria wants control.

Nigeria wants submission. And the one thing the Igbo have never known how to do is bow. And that’s the real issue. So what does Nigeria do? It sidelines them. Isolates them. Provokes them. Bombs their villages under the guise of security.

Locks up their agitators. Shuts down their businesses. Mocks their pain. Ignores their history. Prevent them from voting. Playing politics with their education. Sponsored gigotry on them. And then Nigeria pretends to be surprised that there’s growing radicalization in the East?

Let me be clear: The Igbo didn’t start this fire. Nigeria did. And history, the very same history we keep refusing to learn from, has shown us that when you keep pushing a tribe that knows how to survive, they evolve into something stronger, something unstoppable.

It’s happened before. With the Jews. Europe tried to exterminate them. Instead, they became the backbone of global finance, media, tech, and diplomacy. You don’t touch a Jew today without consequences. You don’t push them to the wall and expect them to stay quiet.

Now Nigeria is doing the same to the Igbo, pushing, prodding, provoking. But here’s the warning: when you push an animal to the wall, it doesn’t stay calm. It fights back. It bites. And this time, when it bites, don’t act shocked.

But this isn’t just about the Igbo solely. Nigeria has perfected the art of creating monsters, then acting surprised when they bite. The Niger Delta? Radicalized. The region was exploited for oil, polluted beyond repair, and ignored until their youths picked up arms.

The Fulani terrorists? Radicalized. Left behind by the same government that claimed to represent them, now manipulated by religion and resentment.

The Almajiri? Radicalized. Abandoned by an elite that used their poverty as a vote bank and then left them to rot. The Agbero? Radicalized. Uneducated, weaponized, and unleashed as tools of political chaos.

Even the middle class is slowly being radicalized, not with guns, but with hopelessness. That, too, is a ticking time bomb.

A nation cannot continue to marginalize its most brilliant tribe and expect peace. The Igbo are not docile. They are not quiet. They are not forgetful. They are survivors, and survivors don’t beg for space forever. At some point, they take it.

The Igbo didn’t set out to be radicals. They were made into one by a country that won’t stop seeing their confidence as a threat. You can’t keep pretending unity means silence. You can’t keep preaching peace while planting injustice.

The Igbo are not asking for too much, they just want to live, build, and grow. But if you insist on turning their dignity into defiance, their enterprise into enmity, and their survival into sedition, then you are creating a monster.

And if history has taught us anything, it’s this: when a persecuted people decide that survival is no longer enough, when they decide to stop running and start resisting, they don’t just fight back. They win.

Nigeria must understand this: you cannot keep pushing people into a corner and expect submission. When you back a lion into a wall, don’t expect it to purr. It will roar. It will claw. It will tear through anything standing between it and freedom.

So here’s the final warning, for those who still care to listen: Nigeria is radicalizing the Igbo. But worse, Nigeria is radicalizing everyone. And it won’t end well.

When the fire spreads, when the rebellion multiplies, when the beast we created begins to fight back, don’t act shocked; no tribe will be left untouched. Don’t pretend it wasn’t preventable. We all made it happen. You don’t corner a lion and expect peace.

I watched one video on YouTube some days ago. It was about appointments into one of the FG institution department

811 plus was appointed from Anambra state alone while Bayelsa state had zero. Enugu or Abia had 65+. The appointments was supposed to be federal appointments which should include reasonable number from all states but unfortunately, the appointments had nothing less than 70+ Igbo's because the commission recruiting was held by an Igbo lady. She even said she was fair with the appointments

Before accusing others of something, people should endeavor to be looking into the mirrow, see who appears there before pointing fingers

Post the YouTube video of that FG institution and all other FG institutions. Let's make informed decisions.

Don't come here making unverified claims, lying, or spreading falsehoods. You are notorious for doing that.

Funnily, it was just yesterday I came across the video on Facebook. Based on the comments, it should be 30 weeks old.

The lady was being questioned by one of the house committee about federal government establishments in Anambra state and the appointments.

You know I don't lie ridiculously like you lots, those who might have seen the video will soon come to testify .

Post the video here. Also, share videos about federal government establishments in your state and the appointments made, so we can compare and make informed decisions.


Don't make ridiculous claims based on hearsay, you are already notorious for spreading lies and falsehoods.

Can you read and comprehend sha? Hear say from the video I watched not photo.

You should know, when I find the video, I will post it and tag you. I saw no need of saving the link yesterday when I saw it, but I think it would be useful for threads like this in the future

They just want to be president by force.

Is Abolaji Rasaq from Anambra?

Sebi you people accuse me of being Ibo, because I say the truth here about the wickedness against Awon Omo Ibo in the political milieu.

Mr Alagbado, Rasaq's pic is right there. He is a human being. He is also on Facebook.

One British man, observed that some of we Yorubas love to tell ourselves lies, even in the face of truth, just to play empty politics.

We know the truth, but we will pretend and say 'black is white' and say it convincingly just to promote a certain agenda..
It is terrible. Change..

Every Yoruba has their own dialect. If I speak my deep Ikale dialect, you no go understand one thing..

Even Yoruba has their own dialect. If I speak my deep Ikale dialect, you no go understand one thing..

His picture is on the OP's post..

It is either you are selectively visually impaired or you are running on free data which makes you unable to images while browsing..

Gambia is country of just 2 million people, not even up to the population of the city of Enugu. What Igbos need is a seperate country of our own.

This contant fight for political supremacy within Nigeria will not lead us anywhere. It is time to dissolve this unworkable British colonial creation called Nigeria and allow the Indigenous peoples of the land to go their way and manage their land and resources according to their talent

Nigeria will lead nobody no where

I'm loving it cause in this social media generation there is lots of evidence for the future

Stop lying just to cover up the post by your yoruba brother. What he said is nothing but the truth.

Igbos were not allowed to vote in lagos. Will you deny this fact?

The Nigerian state under the supervision of Britain, always fight Igbos and lockup their freedom fighters without addressing the cause of their agitation. Will you also deny this fact?

Most Nigerians (including you and your likes in this forum) want Igbos, to always tolerate every nonsense that is thrown at them and, still bow but we the great Igbos said "no" it will never happen. Will you still deny this one?

Stop the coverup!

Why are you omitting the part he asked you to also post the videos of federal government establishment in your state and appointments made so far, so we can compare and contrast

We are waiting
