Yar'Adua?

Onlytruth:

Believe me, that was Biafra's BIGGEST mistake by far. Awolowo should not have been allowed to leave the East.
That way, we would know the enemies well and plan to fight them from start.

Onlytruth:

So what have YOU done to demand for it? Let me guess. Your mission is to tell us that we are hopeless. That is YOUR contribution to the demand.
Nwokem move over.

sbeezy8:

no tribe in nigeria has ever called for a president from their ethnicity- and got it.

High_Chief:

My brother until we address the fundamental problem that facilitate against that cause, trust me we will not make any headyway cos any effort put towards that will be sabotaged. It might be hard 4u to accept but thats true, Westerners revolted after the anullment of June 12 and the Notherners knw that there will be no peace except a Yoruba man is installed as the president hence OBJ was picked and sworn into the presidency. You can believe this or not, but we have so many Igbos fighting against the Igbos than we have those fighting a beneficial cause for us. Enyim aru juo gi oyi, makana iwe na ewe gi na ewe onye ozo, but that won't profer the solution to our problemsYaradua. . .Notherners. Also June 12 died the moment OBJ became president

sbeezy8:

yaradua? NO

fulani didnt call for it the WHOLE Norths power brokers settled for it because they feared another fulani Buhari winning. If igbo can ask the WHOLE south to settle to support an igbo president - fine

but I forget yorubas are backstabbers

While this conspiracy is hard to deny you have to note that it is actually within the circle of elites that have stolen and pillaged Nigeria for the last 50 years. That is what you have to realize -this is a conflict among thieves, of which IBB is one big klepto. The solution then is not to help them resolve their differences in the name of "promises" they make - you should know by now that it amounts to nothing, absolutely nothing!

You keep holding on to your own false conclusion that IBB single-handedly put OBJ on the throne in 1993 - that is what IBB himself would like to believe, but it is not true. His craziness doesn't allow him to see that while people considered him an influential personality in Nigeria, and we all know his coup history, the emperor actually has no clothes. Ask yourself why he was unable to get the stool for himself in 2007 - the same reason he is not going to get it this time. The funny part is that this emperor that has no clothes either on his person or in storage is promising you the most beautiful cloth you desire and you are dancing through market - sorry o.

The number of Igbos is certainly a factor, but what is the population of the Nupe to which IBB belongs. My comparison what supposed to be absurd to point out that your isolation of Igbo in the south for presidency is just as absurd - what you are saying to the smallest groups in Nigeria is forget any chance of ever becoming president in Nigeria, but this is exactly what you are trying to reject. Note that I mentioned Ijebu-Jesha for good measure to make it really absurd - it is actually a town with a name formed from the name of the two yoruba groups.

What we need to do is take our government away from them and truly put in place a truly equitable system.

Akin-Egba:

^^^^^
June 12 is dead. Even amongst us Yoruba, IBB has followers. You just wait until election day, although I prefer Jonathan to win.

It is however the height of mediocrity and self-degradation for a whole Tribe to be expected to be handed over  Presidency by proxy.
[b]Ibos need to wake up from their slumber and realise that whatever they need will have to be fought for.[/b]The ingratious OBJ got the Presidency because of the June 12 warriors.SW didnt rest on its hoarse and expected to be handed over presidency.
Igbos can play the marginalisation,war and tribal card anytime but they will never get anything they dont fight for.
And lying,betraying and distorting facts against the Yorubas,NDeltans etc is a big step in opposite direction,
The last 50 years was without Igbos (real)Presidency.The next 50 may go that way too if Igbo are not united

PERIOD

Since when did mexusxyz become Yoruba? You're not okoro anymore?

Cuz most commenst tend to suggest that Igbos are supporting IBB because he promised them Presidency come 2015.
Supporting someone like IBB because of such fluke is just silly.

THE SW DID NOT FIGHT FOR ABIOLA SO STUFF IT!!! The is no such thing as June 12 warriors being people from the SW.Stop telling lies.He died 2 years later and then that was it! He was substituted after the annulment. If IBB didn't decide to allow OBJ( his friend) to have presidency then what would have happen?? They swept the June 12 under the carpet and if the SW had made a difference they would have succeeded with their own choice of presidency instead of the imposition of OBJ. Don't mention about who and who didnt fight. Igbos fought, Ijaws fought, Fulani fought, Hausa fought, Ogoni fought.Yorubas never fought for anything so lets stick to the topic.

I can agree with you to an extent on the Igbos needing to be united as far as an election goes; however, thats not the case they can be untied for IBB(which may be a bad chose) or they can be united for GEJ(which may be the best choice).The thing that we have to do is learn for our passed and the records of those who are offering us anything and when we have done our research and analysis then choose the one who is out best bet. There is no such thing as choosing a person because he will had us the torch and if we refuse to help him then we wont receive anything.We are not in a fairy tell. We work on presidency through unity not off of a promise,that is the challenge.

Hhmmmmm! Do you even realize what you are saying. Abiola died 2 years after the annulmnent (that would be 1995)?

Surely, you must be kidding. The other part of your below quote speak for its own non-sesibility.

chyz:

Yes 2 years after.Screw the whole 1998 nonsense. You and I and everybody both know after 2 years all that crying about the June 12 annulment BS was swept to the side and left for the birds! SO SHOVE IT!

Well, if I must burrow it into your skull, we want to be Nigerians or Biafrans. It must be one or the other. How can I be a Nigerian when I can't tell my child that he can become Nigeria's president one day?
If I can't say that -because of whatever reason- then there is a question about my nationality. Are Igbos Nigerians?
If we are, then we MUST produce a Nigerian president. If not, we must leave Nigeria. Simple.

~Bluetooth:

Which your papa are you talking about ? You guys would always find reasons to complain and appoint blames unnecessary.The ibo coup of 1966 precipiatated any misfortunes that befell the ibo till date.so stop whinning and blame ojukwu for your miserable and worthless existence.Awolowo was never a coward like ojukwu neither was he dormant till death like Azikwe.he's no more but his memories would always be fresh in our minds.Ikemba is nothing but a sissy

babasoty:

What really is the Igbo question?, the Igboman is the only tribesman residing in every part of Nigeria, yet they ask the Igbo question, Apart from a shot at the Presidency the Igbos have tasted every post in Nigeria, yet they still ask of the Igbo question? has a nupe man been president ? has a jukun man been president? has an idoma or tiv man been president ? has an efik or ibibio man been president ? has the langtan man been president ? are these ethnic groups not entitled to it or are they from another part of Nigeria, there has not been an election conducted in Nigeria that an Igbo man hasn't participated, the candidate lost cus he didn't play his politics well not because he is Igbo, OBJ was an obstacle to Ekweume's chances because of the MKO factor, if OBJ was still in jail PDP would have fielded Ekwueme and he would have won, i feel the Igbos always shoot themselves on the leg and always whine with this "We are being denied game" always, here you have a man who messed up an Igbo man Ebute Ukiwe an illustrious igbo son for that matter when he was number 2 now going to parley with the supposed igbo leader and still has the guts to say "I LOVE THE IGBOS", is that not the height of insult to the igbo nation, which other tribe would look the igbos as being serious when their elites are ready to sell their people for a pot of porridge, c'mon folks don't take your grudges on anyone, take it out on your elites who the word Dignity doesn't mean anything to them.

Wowww
You hit the nail so much on the head, infact a reasonable Igbo should reason after reading this, you answered all their so called questions in a paragraph, Gbam!
