The same PDP gave Yoruba the presidency on a platter of gold. I do not see any reason Igbos will not be treated same way AT THE RIGHT TIME.

larride:

That some Yoruba men/women in mockery corrupt Igbo to Ibo doesn't mean you should go that route with them.

'Don't get me wrong, i'm not campaigning for you guys to dump PDP or GEJ for APC but its been proven that its not always good to put all your egg in one basket.

I think the Igbo youth should start reorienting themselves, the time to start telling themselve the truth is now. Politics is a game of numbers and emotions doesn't win you any post. The civil war has been fought and lost, both the Yoruba, Hausa-Fulani, Igbo, and other tribes definitely have differences but we can overcome that differences to build a stronger nation for us.

If Igbo want the Presidency, then they should work for it, the same people you guys claim to hate you will be the one to vote for you when the time comes for an Igbo presidency, the time to start building those bridge is NOW.

clevadani:
y are u attaching urself to d ss

lakhadimar: Its very funny
The same PDP they gullibly term as a south south party has more than eleven of its Governors from the North
infact, PDP's ''strongest stronghold'' is in the North. Jonathans 2015 election victory would be hinged on the support he garners from the North

Gbawe:
That, ultimately, is my opinion too. The Igbos should do what pleases them but they need to stop "running with the hares and hunting with the hounds". 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.

iiichidodo: Eko ile

Igbos don't hate Northerners

unlike the yorobars the igbos aren't scared of them either...

All we want is equity and justice without our perennial backstabbers on our heels.

Let us also reiterate that we cannot remain,stay or be part of any political scheme that neither wants the igbos nor with those whose ' body language' has been anti-igbo.

We are not yorobars ditto we cannot be railroaded into a political scheme to reestablish an archaic northern concept.

Politics is all about interests, right now it is not in the interest of the igbos to be annexed by an islamic themed party...We are not supporters of APC.

iiichidodo: Sorry but the last time we looked the other way it resulted into a pogrom and a civil war.[b] [b] Sorry we fail to understand the correllation of joining an assembly headed by elements who are not only anti igbo but religious fundamentalists as well as back stabbers and betrayals as 'reaching out' when we are so close to our political objectives?? It is best to conentrate your efforts at a particular objective rather than diffuse your powers into obsolescence True but scars still run deep and so you will forgive the igbos for harbourin a certain amount of suscpicion and mistrust Igbos don't hate anybody,they hold as much emotions to other tribes as those tribes hold as much to them...If migratory signatures aren't building bridges enough then we don't know what will but in any case we aren't bothered.The North had 36 years at the top yet are wallowing in poverty....igbos prefer ruling by proxy, successful presidential candidates from MKO to GEJ have always had the backing of the igbos....that cannot be said of the yorubas....

lakhadimar: Are you for real? Do you want to tell me that Chris Ngige did not hold his election campaign in Igboland? Is Rochas Okorocha not the Chairman of APC' governors forum anymore?

Overtures were made to APGA to join the merger of ACN, CPC and ANPP in forming APC but APGA blatantly refused, it was only Rochas Okorocha that joined the alliance

barcanista: [s]You are indeed a kid. Pls consider porting to romace section.[/s]

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 forth

clevadani: [s]
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[/s]

iiichidodo: To avoid stories that touch igbos eschew coming last in any thing most especially a political movement against the very administration propped up by the igbos...we are not backstabbers nor betrayers....thus we cannot go back on our words.This stance was made easier when we realised this admin had the very interest of the igbo at heart call it crumbs but the delivery of strategic infrastratucture, the very same ignored by elements of past admin who ironically can be found in the opposition, has been somethin like water to a desert-stranded fellow.So we are not interested in any thing or scam involving thieffubu or Okorocha.Thank you.

iiichidodo: Shallow and inane remark after being blown out of the water...quite literarily by yours faithfullly...Now run along we can hear your master illugun calling.

larride:

Its your choice brother and we respect that. We all have to make our own choices one time or the other. Please sir, do not cry margnilization or disintegration in the nearest future because we will all remind you of today where you frantically and boldly told us that you don't need US.

oluwasegunfummi: My yoruba brothers keep spilling their Saliva on this thread when must of our kinsmen are in perpetual penury, majority of my beloved odualand is a slum yet with dance like headless masquerades, I wish an igbo governor like obiano can emerge in odualand, we need a saviour...........eko oni baje oooo

APContherun:
And what if that nearest future never come?

larride:

Which state are you from in the South West?

Gbawe:
Please pay no mind to that mischief-maker pretending to be from the SW. When you indulge characters like that they actually feel they and their opinion are relevant.

madamoringo:

Well, call Yorubas any name, I can bet you that you are making a big joke and disgrace of yourself! It's like a jobless man calling Dangote names!

I am glad you've tied yourself to Ebeleretardaft (PDP) because whether in 2015 or 2019, he will be out of power and all Nigerians know that PDP was built majorly by the north and west, sustained in their best times by a Yoruba man (OBJ) as president. Without him Yaradua and Ebeleretardeen will never be president!

This was while the same Yorubas have a winning, potent platform APC, which was a product of deft diplomacy, negotiation and inclusiveness by Tinubu and Buhari and their lieutenants.[/quote [b] More like yoked into political slavery by your slaver thieffnubu to be exploited for the sole agenda of power going back to the North with ernest hopes of being fed crumbs from the spoils....Hungry desperate yeriba. The term jack of all trades but masters of none aptly suits your predicament.

So, as soon as retardaft is out of power, guess who will most likely be the next people at the top echelon, the highest in pecking order?

The igbos and middle belt...Definitely not coneheads trapped in d Southwest?? [s]The West and the North Imagine how much political illwill you iboelas would have caused, to create unparalleled stagnation? If the next president (leaders) do what Elebe has done, dividing Nigeria into those who support them and the ibos that oppose everything, guess who will be crying soon? So, ibos got a few projects and billions but what is that when you stagnate for another 16 years? Even 8 years, you will be on your back begging anyone, any party, any region to come and bang you so you can get some money and not be starved into kwashiokor again! I think there is no use talking to ibos, let the games continue until the ibo president ebelechukwu is out of power, then we can check the scores! [/s]

AkinEgba:

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.

clevadani:
bros u r grossly mistaken in ur assertion dat those dat refused to give d igbos d infrastructures are in d apc. only buhari (who was in office for 1 yr and 8 mths) is a member of d opposition. d rest of dem frm ibb to obj are all in d PDP.
Can u see, d same ppl u r accusing of marginalizing igbos are all in d PDP. Bros,u r simply confused

barcanista: [s] I don't want to call you brainless though your brainlessness is hereditry. I use to be an activist against abortion but with people like you, the pro-Abortion activist have a case. The same attachment your fathers tried in the late 60s brought tears and sorrows to your kinsmen. I don't know what else to do but yur kind is portraying Igbo as an inferior tribe with the SS as your hope. Go fvck yurself! Fo.ol[/s]

AkinEgba:

Anambra is 1-fifth of Igbo. Nairaland Igbo is not even 0.000000000001% of Igbos. What has APC done to counter the situation in Anambra for the coming 2015 elections? 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?

iiichidodo: IBB gave us Niger bridge even though he has adopted a passive role in the PDP....Obj has always been critic of this admin and has been relegated to the back ground thus he's a nobody....What is clear here is this republic has given the igbos a sense of belonging and it will be crazy to go back to Egypt with Atiku,Elrufai,Thieffnubu,Buhari and their followers..

CyberWolf: All this long epistle will not win APC presidential election..PDP will the presidential election next yr..any bet?...100k ...Egwu onye o kara obi..

clevadani:
tell me wat actions have Atiku,El Rufai,Tinubu,Buhari taken to marginalize d igbos dat is makin u angry?

nku5: I respect Uwazurike's intentions but he should leave igbos and APC matter.
APC in itself is running on a motor that is antagonistic ab initio to igbos. Strangely the party's bigwigs have expressed anti-igbo sentiments and boldly too. Fani Kayode the coke head as a consummate follow-follow guy joined APC and to feel among, quickly started writing anti-igbo articles. Let's not even go into clowns like Nyako.

iiichidodo: We aren't angry,we just feel comfortable with GEJ's admin till 2019....
