madamoringo: Let ibos integrate themselves. It is not the job of any part of Nigeria to babysit or spoon feed the ibos. Ibos can go to APC or PDP, what is integration there? Is any other part of Nigeria asking to be integrated, when it is their job to belong where they want? When will Ibos stop this feeding bottle liability complex? Igbos are well integrated in PDP. What the man is saying is that if APC wants Igbo votes they should reintegrate them into APC. It is the function of APC to woo voters, not the other way round. Enough of having shallow mentality like the one you expressed here. 1 Like |

AkinEgba: Are you saying the APC should go down on their kneels and beg the masses to come join them? The people has a choice to either reject or accept any political party they want. The case of Anambra readily comes to mind where APC was called Anti-Igbo and Awolowo party so as to discourage people from voting for them. The Igbo people should stop preaching hate about other tribe to their children and open up their region to other tribe and party. 10 Likes |

larride: This is the truth. Even sensible Igbos see and say this. Yet don't expect the Igbos of Nairaland to be of the sensible category. Many of them are simply deluded and vengeful folks who have joined online forums to fight other ethnic group in a proxy contest they feel atones for the loss of the civil war they seem unable to move on from. Many intelligent, progressive and pragmatically Igbos out there have identified and articulated the issues with Igbos and what they need to do to begin truly getting on with their lives. Sadly, those sort of Igbos are not Nairaland members to drum some sense into the obdurately self-deluding variants who make their way here to post nonsense. Below is an excerpt from an interesting article from an Igbo man which highlights what many are saying while Nairaland Igbos continue to beat the drums of hate and divisiveness. Many will continue to delude themselves because of egotism, empty vainglory, unobjective hatred of others and a sentimental approach to everything and every situation. They can keep calling the Yorubas "slaves" and the Northerners "terrorists" et al yet it is obvious their obsession with fighting and alienating everyone, which they foolishly interpret as "bravery", is self-destructive and counter-productive if making genuinely progress is what they crave most. http://www.naij.com/23626.html Planning for Oblivion 1 Like |

iiichidodo: Igbos cannot be party to gang up, that is not equitably distributed,for power.Simply put,we cannot be led by the nose to join a political rat race instigated by those who continue to bear ill-will,religiously and idealogically against the SE/SS thus are willing to exploit these people for their clannish interests,We cannot continue or be part of the run of the subjugutation of the Northerners via percieved rhetorics over the Southerners as can be aptly recognized in the master to slave relationship btw the Hausa fulanis and the yorlobars.....It is best we stand together above all things, become a power bloc that will interest candidates who are ready to incorporate our own interests into an electoral manifesto,agenda or ideaology thus indirectly we take charge our destiny........APC hasn't shown interest to the igbos but we cannot be bothered when we have Goodluck Jonathan at the helm from now till 2019 with all the perks and all.when d merger started all opposition parties were given level playing ground but d major igbo party apga(except okorocha ) rejected d idea. d likes of tinubu had always bin vilified for being a local champion and not able to form a strong opposition party. But when he did, Igbo power brokers gave d new party no chance instead dey are just happy with d mediocre pdp presidency whose only achievement in d south east in d last 15 yrs is a 'second niger bridge's( only God knows wen it'll be completed) nd a renovated airport. It was a chance for d igbos to have a say in d political landscape. But d threw away d chance at d masters table to feed from crumbs. incredible 5 Likes |

Gbawe: Interesting read!!! I have said it and will continue to say it, the electorate won't because you lost the civil war gives you the presidency on a platter, even the North that has been termed Born-to-rule has a machinery in place that reaches out to very tribe to try build bridges because it will come handy when the times comes. Its only the Igbo people who think they can do it all by themselves and so isolate themselves from the political landscape and still yet claim discrimination. The earlier the Igbo youth and populace in general start reaching out to others political the better for them. 1 Like |

larride: Should Igbos (or any other group for that matter) be the one going around asking a political party to accept them? How does campaign work in the US and elsewhere? Do Latinos go begging the GOP to accept them, or it's the other way round? If APC wants Igbo votes they should work for it. Otherwise keep your party. On the colored, is PDP an Igbo party too?

What are they doing in the other 4 Igbos states? Now tell me, why are Yorubas not voting for PDP, let alone APGA? Why are Yorubas anti PDP? |

AkinEgba: Sorry brother, but Yoruba anti-PDP? where did you get that from? Yoruba are only tired of underdevelopment which the South West PDP has fed us with and we decided to try our luck with the ACN now APC. Maybe you have forgotten that PDP just won Ekiti State in the last election. Yoruba people don't vote party, rather we vote personality. Tell me why almost all the states in South West voted for APC massively in the state election and then vote for GEJ in the presidency election? What structure does APGA has on ground in South West? When have they produced a candidate to fight for an election and was termed Igbo party or christianity party as was witnessed during the Anambra election which made sway the masses vote away from the APC candidate Chris Ngige even terming him other unprintable names just because he decided to join APC. |

larride: Bruv, you speak well but you are wasting your time. Aside Pa Eziachi, Berem, Obiaghelli, CFCfan and Abagworo, virtually all Igbo members of Nairaland are here to vengefully 'beef' other ethnic groups they feel they have post civil war 'grievances' with. This leaves them unable to confront or accept the truth of what they do that is wrong. The APC issue is fairly easy to talk about decisively because, unlike the civil war, events happened before our very eyes. I was one of those who urged Igbos to embrace others and to rise above pettiness to key into what will uplift Nigeria when many of them took to demonizing the APC and calling it "Yoruba/tribalist" Party. Check the Nairaland archives. From that point, and in confirmation everything is about the hatred of other ethnic groups for some Igbos, many Igbo Nairalanders simply transferred there unobjective hatred and false slandering of the ACN unto the APC at the stage the merger was happening when they had every chance to get involved. From calling the ACN a "Yoruba/tribalist/regional" Party they simply moved on to labelling APC a "Yoruba-Hausa/terrorist/boko haram" Party as if the PDP, when GEJ is taken out of the equation, is not actually even the real "Northern Party" with many rich and influential members capable of sponsoring Boko Haram far more than the penniless Buhari they love to attack senselessly. This noise urging the APC to 'reach out' to the Igbo is dishonest and ignorant of the reality on the ground and the ethnocentric/prejudiced actions of Igbos themselves. If Igbos are genuinely after progress for their people this will manifest in them facing and telling the truth online rather than the self-delusion, empty chest-beating, needless obsession with competing with others and grandiose spin of reality we have now come to associate many Igbo Nairalanders with. Let the Igbos vote for GEJ. It is their choice but they should spare us the deceit of playing "scorned victims" again when events playing out before our eyes show them to be the ones disinterested in putting ethno-religious prejudice aside to support what is right. 4 Likes |

When June 12 election was cancelled, the SW was assuaged by allowing only Yorubas (Obj and Falae) to contest in the two parties at that time. Igbos have been crying of marginalization since after the war, and PDP has tried to address that issue by zoning the presidency so that at some point in Nigeria's future an Igbo man will be a president via PDP. It would just be a matter of waiting for the zoning to reach them. What has APC done to assuage Igbos? Have you made Ngige or Okorocha or Ogbonnaya Onu your APC presidential candidate and Igbos refuse to fall in line? What is in APC for the Igbos? |

iiichidodo: igbos are reaching out everywhere as evidenced of their migratory signatures,ironically Nigeria is very uncormfortable with these folks politically so you hear people mostly yorubas say an igbo will never become president (but it took a dead yorobar to pave the way for Obj),That perception has forced the igbos to come together in vote for those who would rule Nigeria like an igbo would or at least something close to that.Good that we have swayin numbers and in conjunction with those in the SS we can turn a tightly contested electoral process on its head thus like the military strategist mao tse tsung we are better served standing aloof to watch proceedings closely before throwin our lots and not become sheeps to the slaughter led by Tinubu. By the way since most yorubars refer to igbos as 'ibos' we have taken the liberty to corrupt yoruba into 'yorobars" 'yeribas' and so on and so forthy are u attaching urself to d ss 1 Like |

In Nigeria, state elections and governance are less important than national election/governance.

Pointless attempting to make out as if the APC did not 'reach out' to the Igbos when we have all seen that it is the Igbos who were never interested in giving the Party a chance. I too believe, like the popular adage, that "the worst lies are the ones you tell yourself". this is what many Igbos are doing. I.e lying to themselves and publicly trying to claim the position of victim to hide their own fondness for ethno-religious prejudice, clannishness and discriminatory behaviour. The sort that made them deliberately shun and reject the APC only to now, once again, claim the Party 'marginalised' them. 1 Like |
