rhymz: hahahahahah. . .my friend, I just hope you are not considering a career in politics because if you are, you have a hard time getting along with such a very narrow-minded mentality.
I can sense the general lack of reality check in many of the posts from Yoruba commentators, they seem to assume that homogenuity is the only way they can win. I am presently in the north, I have participated in countless elections here as INEC presiding officer, trust me, CPC is only popular in the papers and the reasons are very obvious, the print media especially is controlled mostly by SWesterners. Anyway, that is besides the point; my point is this, if I were to go by your own logic, the APC will have to also forfeit the northern votes cos in reality, the PDP is hugely popular there. So is it ok to also use thesame logic and dismiss the north cos seriously if the PDP and CPC should do a popularity contest here in the north, CPC wont even come a distant 5th. So whats your point? Concentrate only on the SW votes, apparently it is the only region that has some degree of uniformity and ease to win ....lol

so good you had to post it thrice, right?

kofoshi:

APC is yet to field a presidential candidate and here you are already crying blue murder.


You cry of meritocracy, yet you're not directing the daggers at the Ohaneze who are requesting that we go against that exactly and nominate a candidate purely on ethnic basis.

Are you dyslexic?

Ok then so can you tell me who I am directing the quotes at?

Didnt the CPC win all the Northern states in the 2011 election

For any candidate presented by APC to have credibility they must never have been a member of PDP . Even having such people as Ikimi as party members is quite disturbing

He won't win! Buhari is the best commodity in APC.

Onlytruth: I agree with Ohanaeze again! It seems as if this new Ohanaeze leadership is more proactive than the erstwhile one.

What baffles me is how some Yoruba people could actually believe that another Yoruba man can become Nigeria's president within ten years after a Yoruba man was there.
Meanwhile the same people will always accuse Igbo of greed and selfishness! Nothing wey man no go see for naija.

Well, I just de laff. Maybe they mean president of Afenifere. lol

The difference between a yoruba man and an Ibo man is;

The Yoruba man works,plans and makes a strategy on how to achieve his presidential ambition, while an Ibo man sits under a mango tree, takes his ogogoro and snuff, then comes out half naked with his pot belly to shout " I WANT THE PRESIDENCY".

Extremely accurate...

peckhamboi: Igbos are really a pitiable lot, it is obvious they don't have what it takes to rule the country, obviuosly from the state of underdevelopment and insecurity in biafra, coupled with inability of igbos to build a meaningful party of opposition right from independence that igbos have no agenda except that of grabbing power.

they hobnob and play political prostitute with who ever is in power, because they have no vision either for their region or the nation, that was y zik joined NPC, and all of a sudden the vision of NCNC a party founded by a yoruba man who made zik his secretary was taken over by igbos and destroyed with the usual igbo leadership visionlesness, selfishness and greed. thank God yorubas abandoned NCNC for them cos that was the end of igbo voice on the national political scene...igbos cant build a real party..

u can see that the igbos dont mean well for nigeria, that is why they want to support this failure called pdp and jonathan that has no direction just because they hope after jonathan they will be allowed to rule.

am not suprised zik and ekweme did the same thing, and joined with a party that had no vision whilst yorubas remained in opposition, after they will start crying marginalization

igbos have the worst leaders in the world, can you see this mumu, saying they will support jonathan so that jonathan will support them in 2019, even if jonathan wins in 2015 doesnt he know that power will go to the north in 2019 and will remain their for atleast another 8 years?

you see how igbo leaders right from zik, ojukwu, ekweme etc always lead igbos to military and political defeat and confusion,

igbos are not ready to rule ... the one that i was even thinking was different ie rochas has showed himself a typical igboman with trader mentality, and mindless grab for power,,. even before he was inaugurated as gorvnor, he wrote to all banks freezing to freeze imo state account and had to be warned by inec that he yet to be inaugurated as gorvnor after election, he keeps fighting and showing his power all over the place, the last time it was with senator anyanwu,

just behaving like a typical igboman that sees money and position as a means to lord it over others... fashola does not use siren, he stays in hold up no matter how serious like other lagosians. awo never stayed in govt apartment or take govt benefit, he always said what he cant enjoy at the level of his personal wealth he wont accept in public office

igbos cant rule, they dont know the purpose of politics or power, that is why they dont understand the beauty of opposition politics, they have never been in power yet they have never been in opposition, always begging complaining and whining,

the opposition may one day win power, or have a strong bargaining power, like when the nation was forced to vote for yoruba men in 1999, but when you play political protsitute like igbos, [people always use and dump u.

igbos are really pathetic, confused and primitive polticaly

Total gibberish!!! why dnt you stop being sentimental on a serious issue of this magnitude..........all you care about is portrayin the Igbos as hypocritics & devilish yorubas as saints, of which I know the yorubas 're the major looters we have in this country, besides, the reason for why the South-easteners are rallyin around Jonathan is that it's pellucid that Gej will seek for re-election on 2015 and with the power of incumbency he'll be automatically endorsed by the PDP.........:.SO PLS ALWAYS VERIFY THINGS PROPERLY BEFORE VOMITING HOCUS-POCUS WITH YOUR DUM MOUTH!!!...

^^^^^^ You people are aimless and you have no sense of belonging, you flow wherever with no clear goals and objective and this is why they don't take you seriously.


This is 2013 and you people are still crying and yelling to be elected and nominated for this and that no matter what or else when the this is the kind of rubbish we are trying to get rid of. It's not always about your tribe by any means necessary, this is about the best and the most competent man for the job.


Funny homeless wanderers...

slimghost: With a mindset like this from the ofemmanus, SE and SS might just decide to re elect GEJ come 2015. My own is, let me not hear "rigging" oo. Fool.s

LOL...who cares? That's a threat, to who? I DARE you to elect your retardeen and he doesn't need iboz though because he will surely RIG himself in nonetheless. So after 2015, what next? Cry for presidency again?? In FACT, let retardeen win again and I will sit right here and laugh the buffoons that vote in the retardeen to scorn when he hits you left, right and center with all the crap he can muster! If I feel like, I will breeze in to your country and shake myself at the foo.l who cut off his nose to spite his face! Hahahaha

alj harem: I am starting to hate this site

1. Peckhamboi wrote absolute trash, NO ANALYSIS, NOTHING all but insults AND YET GOT THAT AMOUNT OF LIKES ? Amazing only on Nairaland

2. Why can't APC field in an Igbo candidate, ARE YOU TELLING US THAT ACN AND CPC HAVE NO IGBOS IN THEM ?

3. Must APGA join the merger before it becomes a national party ? Are we practicing democracy or tribalcracy in Nigeria.

@ Igbo Nairalanders, on behalf of Yorubas on Nairaland I apologise incase you all are having any misconception.

You have no need to apologize for individual opinions of people, why not just state yours just like iboz state theirs? There is no need to pander to an ibo-ite who will still slander you at your back. They call every other part of Nigeria names, but they are the worst and so people should not state their opinions? @ Your comment, there are iboz in ACN and CPC, a minority, will their iboness be the reason why the party will WIN? People who have not built any bridge beyond their immediate families thrown up because they must choose 1 ibo out of a handful and present them to 140 M who do not see them as anything significant!? Abeg! Look, LET APC choose the best set of guys they can find (Hausa, Yourba, MB, SS etc) but not ibo to win only 5 states? If they LOSE, GREAT...the people have spoken and next time they can try again.

There is NO BIG DEAL if they lose an election but lose it honourably! Retardeen will try to rig the election anyway so the APC should put in their best and keep strategizing and keep getting better and readying for the time they get the people's mandate! If a bad government is elected like the retardeen, who will suffer? The ibos, hausas, yoruba, etc will suffer together!

Nice one bros. I don't why these diaspora peeps are always the ones carrying tribalism on their heads

dayokanu:

Didnt the CPC win all the Northern states in the 2011 election

hahaha....you have just exposed your ignorance of the Nigerian polity, CPC is only in control of just one state, Nassarawa. And if you knew anything about the North, you would know that Nassaraw is a mix of many tribes who do not neccessarily share thesame cultural features or views with the Hausa majority.
The ANPP are even more popular witg three states under their grasp: zamfara, Yobe and Borno. The rest of the north is still largely PDP and they are extremely popular with supporters ready to kill at any slight hint of confrontation with any other opposition. In fact, if we were to go by contributions, the CPC is the Joker in the merger with just only one state in their control and a crying ex-general who is not ready to support anyone but himself.
If you think the East which has more of its people scattered across Nigerian than any other region( most times in the right amount to cause an upset or balance in votes) are not important enough to state their own conditions if they will wholeheartedly join the merger is reflection of your political naivity. Every region is just as important in that merger as they see themselves and the conditions that got them stay-put in the merger. Telling or dictating to Igbos(who justifiably have very good reasons for their demand) to wait behind some overspent northerner or a Yoruba pretender in the guise of meritocracy is to undermine and overlook their importance in the union. Igbos wont box themselves in such corners again, never again, we will demand it, arm-twist, make compromises, choose anyone that best suits our aims cos after all said and done, it is all about the bigger picture-political self-preservation. Let no man dictate anything to us, shikena.

olawalebabs: Seeking for Nigeria presidency and Biafra sovereignity at the same time.

We're talking about politics some yeye posters here are posting rubbish about Igbo prowess in football, so much for your prowess that it takes us 19 years again to win the nations cup. I wonder whether its football that will bring food on my table, good health system, good roads, electricity, security etc. football ko handball ni! Yeye people.

Stop fooling urself. The way its going now, I think its better to vote the so called "retardeen" than vote for a party of treacherous and back stabbing idi.ots! Come 2015, yall should be ready to cry me a an ocean!

Dibiachukwu: If GEJ delivers to SE by 2015 (International airport, seaports, highways, electricity), we would vote for him again; even if he runs against an Igbo candidate. We Igbos want progress. Presidency is not progress.

Bros, is that really all that matter to you guys, all that you think GEJ's got capacity and resources to do as president?

Okay bros, I want only truth. How do you want your Igbo presidency: served on a silver or Gold platter?

Demdem: Ohanaeze should strategise and work towards securing the Presidency not just sitting down in a place and demanding the presidency from those working hard to secure it. by the way, whats their business with APC? we all know that they will be voting for the retardeen no matter what. na wa for these guys ooo

Well I still have a little respect for u, so I will address you accordingly. So you honestly think Igbos are not working towards it? Sure we are, and you will see that come 2014. Again why are guys saying that APC do not need Igbos to wrestle power from GEJ? Is that joke or what? All Ohaneze is saying is this, "if u want our help, bring something to the table". After Nigeria is all about looking out for ur own people's interest before the Nation as a whole!

I don't even get why people are arguing with the yoruba's on this forum. There so called political power, strength and the decider of Nigerian presidency yet the north have ruled over "the strength" for so many years. The only one that came from their region is one of the worst president of Nigeria to date. Why do una take this people seriously? Anyway, only you people know. I just find them funny whenever I read their boast.

Anyway,some people are even too stupid to understand what ohaneze is trying to say yet call themselves "strength of Nigeria politics". Anyway sha, the group is telling you people that if you want SE vote then field someone that would vote for. Igbos would not vote for any political party which does not have their interest in mind. It just that simple of a statement. Nothing complex, nothing serious to decipher. SMH @ the amount of stupidity from the so called "APC" group.

Anyway, APC would lose in 2015 so I don't know why anyone is arguing or fighting whether there is a potential of them winning. I don't forsee that group winning but let's wait to 2015. N

Are we planning to vote out criminals and vote in anoda set of criminals? Rochas shud beta stay of APC coz those hawks in there wont even allow him to mouth on d podium....let dem fight PDP alone.

slimghost:

You need to help me out on that one dude!

Look yourself in the mirror now and tell us what you see! The problem with you guys is your superiority complex you moan about others but fail to take a look at yourselves. Contrary to what many thinks I don't hate Ibos but I joined NL because of the bigotry that some ibo posters here potray everytime they post.
If an Hausa man held a post it must be because he's a Hausa but if an ibo man head a post it must be on merit, Ibos look in the mirror this country does not revolve round you, display some humility and engage with others otherwise you are doomed. A word is enough for the wise.

aribisala0: For any candidate presented by APC to have credibility they must never have been a member of PDP . Even having such people as Ikimi as party members is quite disturbing
