1) We are a very REPUBLICAN people.

Meaning: He wants to embark on a nihilistic and possibly anti Igbo project.

2) There is an alarming lack of UNITY among the Igbos.

Meaning: He requires support for his pet project(s)

3) The "cause" is greater than one MAN.

Meaning: He is about to sacrifice(ditch) somebody else for the "cause".

4) In MHO, What "they" should have done....

Meaning: He is reciting common hind sight to make himself look brilliant.

5) Count me "out".

Meaning: He was looking for an outlet to say he was NEVER in.

6) The problem is this Ogbo and Ohafia people...

Meaning: He may have had some nasty personal experiences in the hands of people who happen to be from O and O and he lacks tact.

7) My dear brother/sister...

Meaning: Just patronising tu !

.....to be continued, but feel free to contribute.

8) Igbo enwe eze

Meaning: S/he will not support the fellow that has emerged as leader, and s/he really has no good reason for that decision.

9) S/he is arrogant.

Meaning: He has looked long and hard, and he can't really find something bad to say about her/him.

10) I fought in the Biafra-Nigeria war BUT will not support the present struggle.

Meaning: He was old enough to know what transpired during the war and so can drop names easily to mask his cowardice!

11) I am pro-Igbo; but, I am NOT pro-Biafra.

Meaning: He is a reprobate Igbo, a coward, an excellent candidate for future anti-Biafra treachery; he considers himself defeated by the Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba; he is scared, afraid that they will practice genocide on him/us, again, and if the Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba want to hear him say that he is "pro-Igbo, but, anti-Biafra," then, that is exactly what he will say; he will appease Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba.

#13) "I am an Igbo Intellectual"

Meaning: S/he is too poor or too unwilling to contribute to the Igbo or Biafran cause in any way other than running his/her mouth. [Embarrassed]

When he says: I was excited to see our people doing very well last time I was in BiafraNigeria.

He means: I am doing a PR job for a lousy Ibo governor, there is nothing in alaIgbo to smile about!

#15) Nd'Igbo have forgiven other Nigerians for the genocide and pogrom visited on Nd'Igbo especially by the Yoruba and Hausa

Meaning: His own personal losses and the losses of persons he truly loved in Biafra were minimal, and his fortunes today depend on whether the North and the Yoruba West can trust him to betray Nd'Igbo.
