Biafra is the answer to Africa technology that is y yorubas and co are afraid of biafra or Igbo presidency. They are use to suffering and at the same time complaining.
Until Igbo's have their freedom Nigeria and Africa can never grow rich, not the riches of egosm but the riches of the masses.
In GOD Igbo's trust.

You are still playing the Zik playbook of God of Africa made the Ibo to be leaders and liberator of Africa that has put you in the current predicament. The lie is seem in your inability to excel in the little enclave given to you to manage.

It's not a curse but your situation will take a very long time to get solution

hammer567:



2023, THEY HAVE NO CHOICE AND WE MUST MAKE THEM AWARE THAT 2023 IS A REFERENDUM VOTE.



THE OUTCOME OR RUN-UP EVENTS WILL RESULT IN SE EXIT FROM NIGERIA.



WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY YORUBA OR FULANI MAN TO RULE OVER US.

Shut up, your people gave a Fulani man 80% of your votes in 2019 and are set to repeat it again in 2023, but who cares? It's same results, failure

TheRealestGuy:


Yes many Igbos voted against Abiola simply because he was a crook who actually sponsored a number of military coups.

The Igbos generally don't support crooks for national positions, the same way someone like Orji Uzor Kalu or Rochas will be roundly rejected by Igbos if they ever contested for any national leadership position.

It is not primary elections that determine who becomes president but that rhe candidate must win in 2/3 of the states in the federation.

You don't have any cogent reason man.

Try again.

But you know so much about Tofa and he has the ability to run the country better than Abiola, and conveniently an Ibo man was his VP pick and his party controlled most SE states. Keep making excuses or trying to be clever. You were playing the politics you all accuse Tinubu of playing in 2015 but lack the courage to admit it.

The difference is you lost the 1993 election while Tinubu won his own 2015 election.

Your current hatred for him today is
disguised envy and jealousy of his ability to succeed while your people failed.

If Tofa had won and gotten the 1993 presidency won't one Ibo be positioned and expect to align with North to produce the president after 8 years?

TheRealestGuy:


You are repeating the same mantra that I've tackled in my OP.

If Igbos are still living and carrying out their businesses in other parts of Nigeria, even in the heavily terrorised North where they are targets of over religious zealots, isn't that proof enough that they are deeply embedded in the Nigeria project?

What is your measure of patriotism? Is it by mouthing it or actually putting systems in place to ensure that justice and meritocracy is practised in all spheres of the nation?

Your reasons aren't quite cogent man. Try again.

Ibos are the only group who have taken up arms on sustained basis to dismember the country, it's normal to be viewed with suspicion.
To make matters worse many of your people now carry around the flag and symbols of that Biafra that took the lives of thousands of patriots to quell. You now turn around to be handed the keys to 'nuclear codes' of the same country, haba manna?

If Biafra had succeeded, with the Rivers area and Calabar considering the stance of Saro Wiwa, Adaka Boro who joined the Federals, how long will it take to hand over control of Biafra to those you said we're saboteurs?

If after 50 years of Biafra independence, Ogonis or Ijaws started agitating to join Nigeria or making flags and wears in Nigeria colours, will you entrust Biafra into their hands and risk an Ijaw president of Biafra handing your independence to Nigeria?

Randerl:
In other words, IPOB/ESN was created to achieve a SE presidency via violence.

Ehen now!

gidgiddy:


But if the same people say they want to go their as Biafra, it will be people like you that will be ready to pick up gun and fight war

How can you fight to be with people you dont like? That one I will never understand

Go where? Animals don't get to leave the zoo, they grow old and die there

izac82:
Ndi Igbo are still suffering from the vendetta of the civil war, after the defeat. Nigeria feasts on Igbo resources. Igboland was balkanized to achieve this purpose. Most Igbo clans were forced to deny their roots, as to fit in and be accepted.
The fear of an Igbo presidency reversing the injustice is enshrined on soul of the determinants of Nigerian leadership. The truth is they are scared an Igbo president can dare change the statuesque, and that is not what they want. The structure must remain as it is, so the resource drain can continue.

They are pressing your neck and are not about to lift the boot

gidgiddy:
Despite armed Fulan herdsmen killing people across Nigeria, Nigerians had no problem electing a Fulani man like Buhari President of Nigeria

Despite OPC wrecking havoc in the South West in the 90's, killing people and driving non indigenes out, Nigerians had no problem electing a Yoruba man like Obasanjo President in the late 90's

Despite Ijaw Niger Delta militants destroying and killing people in the South South, Nigerians elected an Ijaw man called Jonathan President

It is only when it comes to Igbos that people start making unnecessary noise they did not make with others

Look inwards to see where the real problem lies, why would your people be universally disliked even in India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia etc

TheRealestGuy:


Your comments in quotes are simply banter that we all do to each other.

Similar to "Igbo man fit sell him family or use him mama for rituals, dem too like money". These banks should not form basis of treating them like second class citizens and keeping them away from the presidency perpetually.

The average hausa-fualni has been killing Igbos and other southerners since the 1950s for one flimsy reason or another. This did not make Igbos to not vote Yar'adua or hate Atiku.

About Igbos not "knowing how to market themselves in politics" the thing is that the average Igbo man does not conform to herd thinking and tries to be as republican in nature as possible. Also, I'm not sure what marketing Yar'adua ever did or GEJ, for them to be elected presidents.

Only in your region do we see 85-95% of votes going to one candidate, what else do we call herd thinking?

hammer567:


ONE THING I WILL COMMEND YORUBA MEN, IS THEIR OBSESSSION AND COMMITMENT TO CONTINUED OBSESSION OVER THE IGBO RACE.


THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, 2023 BELONGS TO THE IGBO AND WE WILL NOT WAIT FOR OSINBANJO TO CONCLUDE VP AND ENTER PRESIDENCY.



YORUBA WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GOVERN NIGERIA IN ONE PEACE.



WHICHEVER WAY YOU DO THE MATHS, YORUBA CANNOT RULE NIGERIA IN 2023, BE IT OSINBANJO OR TINUBU.

But you hope to get one of you become president in one piece or in peace?
E go shock you

TheRealestGuy:


Is it the parties primary elections that make any one president? It is on record that Igbos voted for OBJ massively on both ocassions even when Ojukwu was a contestant under another party in 2003.

Please think before you comment.

Then go and meet Obasanjos party, why are you disturbing the whole country?

Now I understand why you hate the men who broke the power of your beloved party

TheRealestGuy:


We all know that IPOB does not represent Igbos.

The only group that can be said to represent Igbos to an extent at the national level is Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

So your reason is comical at best.

Another reason others don't trust you, you easily default to lies and deceit just as you have written here.
Even most of you tell the lie of unknown gunmen gleefully like it's true and expect others to be foolish enough to believe it

Ikonsoway:
The fact that constitution authorities need the permission of a politician to carry out their constitutional responsibilities; therein lies the problems of Nigeria.

You expect military to deploy themselves to operational theaters or what nonsense are you saying?

CSTRR:

Before tinubu could read and write, Lagos was already the most developed State economically.

The British made it so.

Give Lagos to the likes of Peter obi, zulum and see what they would do.

Even fashola performed better than him due to the strength of resources available in Lagos to throw at problems.

Comparing Fashola and Tinubu is like comparing the things a management trainee is able to achieve with what the same guy is able to do when he becomes a manager.
Tinubu met a whole lot of mess and 600m monthly IGR which grew to 15bn in 8 years.

Without calculations, you should know 600m in 1999 is still far less in value than 15bn in 2007 naira.
What excuse wil Fashola have not to do more with master plans in place and revue stream increasing?

Odin13:


Neither am I supporting igbos

South’s are not ready for Presidency.. I’ve been saying this for long ..
power returns North

Prayer is that Jonathan shouldn’t fall for Apc scam..

This year .. just as Yoruba Dey rally round their own .. Na so north will rally their own

You heard it first.. a kinda of politics that Yoruba introduced in 2014 and have forgotten.

And also believe Nigerians have forgotten..


Tinubu Must contest

No stepping down and no excuses whatsoever

If denied ticket .. he should decamp

Stop the wailing, did SS states (Rivers, Cross-river) not vote for Shagari in 1979?
Did same SS (Akwa-Ibom,Delta, Edo) not vote for Abiola in 1993?
SW states voted massively for Jonathan in 2011

Once interest align votes will be given, i doubt SS will stake their political future with SE politics of anywhere belle face of shoot and think later

PresidentAtiku:
If the principle of rotational presidency means power should shift to the south, then power should also shift to a Christian.

Buhari has done 8 years for the Muslims.

In the spirit of fairness, it is time for a Southern Christian. Tinubu had this ambition to become Buhari's vice in 2015 but it was obvious the Muslim-Muslim ticket won't fly.

Now he wants to achieve that same ambition to the detriment of Christians. It is unfair and he must be stopped.

Christian Association of Nigeria will soon comment on this.

nonsense

RexTramadol1:




Journalism is about saying the truth and nothing more



She might not have a vested interest but did she put up facts?


Has the UAE, China and Singapore who were on same trajectory as Nigeria as at 1999 still on the same pace with Lagos which is said to be the height of Tinubu’s brilliance?


If Lagos is not a paradise, even with BAT and his protégé being there since 1999, what will change in his 8 years at the center that will make Nigeria a paradise?

How has his likely opponents most of them chief executives of states performed when they had the same 8 years he's had?
We are not selecting out of the managers of UAE, Singapore, Johannesburg Cairo or Rabat. We are selecting out of tested Nigerians and their relative success in their past assignment will weigh heavily in the decision not discounting Ethnic, religious factors and of course burning desire of those who have no aim or objectives but axes to grind

Cantonese:


Looking at the write up without bias, cannot you dispute the fact the very bad leaders have been foisted on us as citizens? This country has gone from bad to worse on all indices.

We had an Ambode who was doing quite well in terms of infrastructure and trying to make Lagos better and a mega city, but he was removed because he did not play ball. With him by now, agberoism would have become history.

By now people living in a so called mega city like Lagos should be ashamed of agberos, okadas and keke napeps. Their activities had been successfully curtailed by Brig. Marwa before 1998 and we had peace. Today agberos have even taken over control of traffic lights in parts of Lagos. The leader of NURTW presently campaigns and the reason is simple. Get BAT in and have an additional 8 years of the nuisance in Lagos.

Adelakun has no axe to grind. The truth is there for everyone to see, except one chooses to behave like the proverbial ostrich.

He’s greed is responsible for the national calamity that we experience today nationally. Before 2014 BAT was a regional leader. His leading ACN to team up with CPC was to gain national prominence and as we have finally heard to satisfy his “life long ambition”. If what we presently experience from APC is the best of our president, as he said, what difference will APC under BAT make?

For me the candidate for the SW should be Osinbanjo. The difference is very clear.

If you're not a party member you have no influence on who emerges on the party platform. You can also vote for the transformative candidate presented by the other 60+ parties or abstain altogether from the general elections.

You people won't put in the work required to be at pole position to take leadership but will want to pontificate after waking up from stupor induced while others were working towards a goal.

A failed state like this shithole is not a pushover?

failed individuals and families make up a failed state

oluwaahmed:


Ok so when it favors him he loves one Nigeria but when it doesn't he disbelieve in one Nigeria. Typical afonja! Two timing, double mouthed, lily livered betrayer.

Says okoro who has been shouting biafla or death.

shinealight:


I’m sorry but you are a first-class HYPOCRITE if you maintain that the attitude of the Hausa/Fulani towards great men from other tribes (such as Awolowo, Enahoro, Ekwueme, Abiola and now Tinubu) who have offered themselves to serve Nigeria but treated with disdain, that this should not have any effect on our perception as to whether Nigeria is one Nation worth sacrificing for. I’m afraid it is unrealistic not to expect any adverse reaction from the tribesmen of such leaders!

Don't mind them, was it not the Atiku they all supported that said in 2010 PDP convention he lost that those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.
Let him come and tell us he didn't support same Atiku in 2019.

NSK4U:


So he wants to rule where he didn't believe in? He is never a true nationalist. If he were, he would have stood with the country no matter what happened. So if his wife or children is killed tomorrow, or he loses the election, he would come out and denounce Nigeria? It shows he is only a believer in Nigeria when it's beneficial to him, can't make a good leader in a multi ethnic state like Nigeria.

But Ojukwu who killed people in the attempt to break Nigeria is a good leader, Ohaneze and ibo leaders asking a for the release of a terrorist responsible for killing security men and women including ibo he called saboteur are also good leaders. What of those who shouted Araba and wanted to create a northern country in 1966, did they not become head of state and president in same Nigeria?
Be writing nonsense theories, go and vote for your preferred terrorist

Sunnyja:
Tinubu a "reliable SW son"?! A man who connived with northerners to deny the SW the position of Speaker during GEJ's government a "reliable SW son"? Please tell me another joke.

What is speaker position compared to having , VP, speaker plus infrastructure and now about to get presidency?
Go and find a Tinubu for your region

sharpden:


You will know their relevant from 2023 don't rush

You really think SE and SS will generate 10m fake votes like 2011 for Jonathan

sharpden:


Oga, point of correction, I am not Igbo. Secondly the major reason SE are living is because of the seaport not because of your lame lines as they are much in the North and other parts of the country.

If telling you that you will reap what you sowed in 2015 is emotional, so be it. Who cares if you have relationship with Igbo or not? If the so-called relationship can't get you to support them to be president in 2023 of what need is it?

Actions have consequences, remember.

People hawking gala and selling spare parts or used clothes are also here because of seaport?
Why not go and hawk the gala in SE traffic after clearing the goods?

DubaiLandLord:
He is an Ibo man

His reference to civil war and starvation gave him away. He is ibo

sharpden:


Vote Awolowo who starved children to death during the war?

Are you with your sense?

And Ojukwu who rejected food from Nigeria while SE children were dying is free of guilt, Gowon the leader too is free. This is where bitterness has led you and 2023 will seal your irrelevancy in the scheme of things.

Jomonix:


We want leadership for the benefit of all Nigeria not only for a section. The idea is to bring dividends to all ethnic groups not just a few. We cannot continue with lop-sided governance style. Do you get it.

Then all these it's our turn nonsense should stop. Let everyone go into the field and contest

NGpatriot:




Don't you feel like crying? Just look at the massive amount of public enterprises the FAILED PDP sold for small change and the massive jobs they eliminated.

I don't know how these heartless looting and stealing FAILED PDP clowns sleep at night.

They even sold a govt company at 34m naira, just dash to their cronies and families, why wont poverty escalate with attendant insurgency

ThEGodFaThEr101:
Verily verily I say unto You, 2023 will mark the end of his political career. Tinubu's disgrace will be televised. Not just his presidential ambition, his godfatherism grip on lagos will also come to an end. He and his online and offline urchins will be sent parking back to his hometown in iragbiji that even the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdul Rashid Olabomi will not be around to welcome him.

While you're not conerned about your own career that will never take off
