Responding to a post George Onyibe made on his page which he attached the picture below.
George Onyibe’s message looks like a “thank you” note, but when you read it carefully, it sends mixed signals. While he appreciates supporters, he also speaks down on people who disagree with him, especially Igbo people, by calling them emotional, predictable, and in need of “saving.” You cannot thank people sincerely while insulting them at the same time.
He repeatedly claims to be standing for “truth,” yet he does not clearly explain what this truth is. Instead, he relies on praise from supporters and the idea of “secret followers” who are afraid to speak openly. Disagreement does not always mean fear. Many people simply disagree and move on.
The statement that he is “trying to save” people is troubling. Adults do not need to be saved by someone who did not ask for their consent. That kind of language sounds arrogant and creates more division, not understanding.
The picture also sends the wrong message. Traditional attire and chieftaincy symbols represent culture and unity, but the bold claim on the image is divisive and provocative, with no explanation or context. It invites anger instead of dialogue.
Finally, ending the article by thanking God does not fix the earlier insults or contradictions. Respect, clarity, and humility are more convincing than repeated self-praise.
In short, the article talks about unity and rehabilitation, but its tone, language, and presentation do the opposite.
