Igbo and cry cry baby way of life grin


We Yorubas don't see Igbo support for shagari twice 1979 and 1983 against Awolowo because Shagari choosed Ekwueme as VP as a form of betrayal of the south because we are more mature than you guys.

We are not cry cry baby tribe who always blame their backwardness on one tribe.If they don't blame hausa fulani today they will blame Yorubas!


Poor souls grin

History revisionists.
Though Shagari had Ekwueme as his VP in 1979 and 1983, Igbo presidential candidate in those elections was Nnamdi Azikiwe, who got more than 80% of votes in Imo and Anambra States, the two Igbo States as of them.
It was after the 1979 when NPN( Shagari and Ekwueme party) couldn't get the majority in the NASS to form an outright majority, that they invited NPP(Zik's party) for a coalition government, while conceding the House of rep speaker position to NPP as a gesture of kindness, which NPP nominated Ume-ezeoke for.

who cares about idiotic, nonsensical and useless obasanjo to yorubas. SE voted obasanjo to spite yorubas.

I bet SE voted Yaradua to spite Fulanis, just as they voted GEJ to spite Ijaws. Chai, ife emebigo, Umunnem, ife emebigo.

The North will continue to Rule us and unlike 2015 if the South West is hoping or expecting the South East to start another agitation get killed while they continue to negotiate with the North forget it .

There will be no agitation from the South East in the Next 4 years not even an attempt to contest 2023 Presidency so PDP can freely zone it to the North

For 2 times Buhari run with an Igbo VP and we rejected him totally in the South East , He gave South West the same offer they all voted for a know Dictator because of VP position how can anyone sane mind vote Buhari ? Is he the best Nigeria can offer ?

In 2002 Okadigbo decamped to the All Nigeria Peoples Party to become Muhammadu Buhari's running mate in the 2003 Presidential elections, but lost to the People's Democratic Party candidate's (Olusẹgun Ọbasanjọ and Atiku Abubakar) by a landslide victory

again in 2007 Buhari picked an Igbo man as running mate he was rejected the second time in the South East .Edwin Ume-Ezeoke was Buhari running mate in 2007


Yoruba is not Federal Government. Focus on building a good opposition to the Government in center.

I really pity you Igbos and how your political stock has fallen and is now so damaged you only dream of the Yorubas failing in 2023 rather than thinking of how to reclaim the political relevance that should be yours as one of the biggest ethnic group in Nigeria. Sad and pathetic. Cry all you want. The Yorubas have a good chance of producing the President in 2023. While Igbo have nil chance of doing so. This is 100% your own fault as well. One day you will wake up to realise the Yorubas are in the position they are in because of the deliberate action they took while you sealed your own destiny too with your behaviour and politics of hate/bitterness..

Event of Kano should be an eye opener they voted individuals in the North not party



Talking about betrayal of southern unity, are you aware that Awolowo attempted to build a united south to defeat the north in 1979? The 1979 presidential election was a clear race between Shagari and Awolowo. While Shagari opted for a southern running mate in Ekwueme, Awolowo against well informed advice opted to nominate an Igbo man as his running mate thereby throwing up a south/south ticket. Guess what; Igbos opted to support Shagari/Ekwueme ticket ahead of the all south ticket. That was the height of southern betrayal as far as I’m concerned.

We can even go back to the 1959 general election where no party had majority in parliament. Awolowo approached Azikiwe to form a southern unity government but guess what; Azikiwe opted to form an alliance with Sadaurna against the overall interest of the south.

I won’t talk about how Igbos betrayed the southern candidate in the 1993 presidential election. So bro, get your historical knowledge right before talking shit online about what you don’t understand.

You are a liar. 1979 election was a three horse race between Shagari, Awolowo and Zik.
Shagari and Awolowo both choose Igbo VPs in attempt to woo Igbos to vote them. But Ndiigbo instead chose to vote Zik, who won more than 80% of the SE votes, while Shagari and Awolowo shared the remainder.

In 1959, Awolowo killed the Chance of AG-NCNC alliance, when he attempted to dupe NCNC and AG, by sending delegates to both parties same time, with attempt to deceive both parties.

In 1993, Tofa had an Igbo VP, yet Abiola despite his insult to Ndiigbo, won Anambra State, while scoring 45% of the votes in Imo, Abia and Enugu. There was no Ebonyi state then.

Apart from the now failed president Buhari, name another president that won with Yoruba support and was fully installed?

Yoruba hate speech started from Akintola and his Yoruba ronu IGBO hate speech. Tinubu and your Oba Lil Wayne had continued where Awolowo and Akintola stopped. Children of hate will always hate.

OBJ won the presidential elections twice with IGBO block votes, same with Yaradua once and GEJ once.

There is no candidate that win the national seat without Yoruba endorsement and backing. None!

Ibo is a political risk. Any candidate you endorse end up a looser.

Would you like to see electoral results?

Shagari won comfortably without Yoruba support. All Awolowo could do was sue him for being declared winner without winning 25% in 2/3 of the states.

OBJ won his first tenure without Yoruba support. Ndiigbo endorsed OBJ Two Times and gave him block votes.
We endorsed GEJ in 2011 and gave him block votes.
We endorsed Yaradua in 2007 with block votes.
In all instances, they won. You have no point.


Yoruba votes are usually divided and don't come in block if a Yoruba isn't contesting for the presidency. Your votes are too divided to be useful or a decider in national elections, you can't deliver block votes.
