Lol, darkskinned Bijango fake Eboe is in pains. No meth baby factory product will become the President of the country. You will cry like hell forever, lol.

Amumaigwe:


The Igbo man genuflects only to his Chi. We are a very superior race. With or without Igbo presidency, we are living well.

Push the matter beyond the brink.. good one action for action

as for me, l will just keep sitting close to the tv incase of any inaction cumin from both sides

I believe your people have a proverb about not knowing where the rain started beating you

One problem you folk have is you hate truth. You lie to yourself without cognitive dissonance . What am I talking about?

In 1960 The Igbo political elite took a decision when we ran a parliamentary system to form a coalition with these same people that you are now abusing. Awolowo was sent to prison and shortly after the same coalition encouraged the breakaway of MIdWestern Nigeria from the Western region. At the same time pretending there were no minority groups in the North or in Eastern Nigeria and the latter two zones were kept intact.
This is politics and the Igbos are entitled to play politics in their best interests but the point is from day 1 The Igbos drew a line in the sand and indicated a political preference for the Hausa and the Fulani over the Yoruba. THAT IS A FACT
It is not a moral issue it is political
How can you then say with a straight face that Yoruba gave them mouth to talk?

YOU are the ones that have ALWAYS done so. The one opportunity there was to build trust in the south this is what your people way saying:
https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan
Again ithe same scenario repeated itself in 1965 and the Igbo politicians in collaboration with the Northern NPC triggered a crisis in the Western region that led to the January 1966 coup.

The rest is Geography

After the war the first election was in 1979. We changed to presidential system. Shagari became president and Ekwueme Vice via their party NPN
Azikiwe did a deal with Shagari and his party the NPP got the Speaker House of Reps post .
The Yoruba were side-lined again there was no accusation, no sense of betrayal or accusations like that. Yoruba took it as POLITICS.
The same scenario played out in 1983 by which time Shagari had pardoned Ojukwu and he returned to join the NPN



Again in 1993 The Igbos did not vote Abiola
and
In 1999 the Igbos chose the Northern imposed Obasanjo over the preferred Yoruba choice in Falae

Two things

1. Are these facts in dispute
2. What would the Igbos be saying today if roles were reversed


Try and learn to be honest and deal with reality.

Throughout our political history have the Igbos treated the Yoruba in a way to justify any sense of entitlement?

Vistra40:


Dude, calm down. First off, am not a yoruba but a south easterner like you. Secondly, am not the type that comes to Nairaland to fight tribal battles. Thirdly, follow my history in this forum and you would see that my views are always objective. I even attack those who denigrate igbos in the name of bigotry and criticize igbos alike. My comments are based on what I think is right than to be emotional about it.

Is it time for an igbo presidency? Yes! Are they playing the right politics to earn it? No! People like OUK, Rochas and until recently Anyim are making efforts but the attitude of our people isn’t helping.

And oh for the fulanis that you said they kill, relax. Each time they attack IPOB(even though I don’t agree with their strategy entirely) I quickly fire back by reminding them about banditry up north. So relax bro and don’t be too emotional cos am not the type that would do something just to appeal to emotions

Igbo people Ohaneze just spoke their mind

GBOKASINCHA:
coming from a head worth 25k not even the half price of my shoes ...

Amumaigwe:


Your idea of playing the right kind of politics is for Ohaneze to allow the intellectually inadequate North to humiliate Igbos. I see the comment credited to Dr. Ezeife as an olive branch extended to the North, but they literally spat on it in disdain with a very insulting response by NEF.

If truly you have igbo blood at all, you are at best half Igbo fathered by a Yoruba Muslim or a primitive Fulani Herdsman.

Nonsense.

There you have it zombies...

Igbos don’t bend the knee for any idiot.

Deny us 2023 presidency and see even Umahi, OUK, Okorocha, etc, all become IPOB.

Nigeria has the opportunity to correct decades of ill in 2023 or to set in motion, decades of chaos. They can’t become ipob at all because they have massive skeletons in ther closet you need people who are not or can not be easily corrupted by this nation. In Nigeria, We can only grow if we are divided

The choice is for una.

Baawahala:

...and you feel that what you said earlier is objective?

Gbagura:
SE shouldn't expect presidency be given without sweating for it. If there's any ibo man that can boast of getting supports across the country, let him prove himself. You wouldn't have burnt all available bridges and later ask arrogantly to be given president.

We have only 2 tribes deciding for Nigeria which are Yoruba and Haúsá/fulani. Others are just mere spectators. They are known as Èrò iworan

perambulator:


Go and read the unification decree of 1966

Aguyi ironsi (and Ojukwu) is the reason why Nigeria is where it is today. Go and read your history. he is the one who unwittingly handed absolute power to the North thinking he would be in power forever. The North simply kept the laws Ironsi promulgated and assumed the absolute power for themselves, the reason why the rest of Nigeria is enlsaved to the North today is because of ironsi. He created the unification decree 34 and removed referendum from our constitution. That is the bane of Nigeria's problem. Ironsi is the reason why you cannot have Biafra, he is the reason the North controls the Oil from the south, he is the reason VAT goes to the North, he is the reason illegal Zamfara gold stays in the north, he is the reason the groundnut pyramids stopped, the and all the development that started at the beginning of independence halted., he is the reason governors go cap in hand to Abuja for allocation.... he is the reason development in Nigeria stopped...full stop.


Ironsi gave himself absolute power, the North staged a coup and kept the law, up until then the system the British left behind made sure the North did not control Nigeria despite their so called larger population at least not economically!!!!

Ironsi Locked us all in a prison, Ojukwu threw away the key. As a result we are ALL trapped in a system that doesnt work and we cant leave.

...and he was only in power for 6 months....Bastard!!!!
