Can the Northern Nigerian People Give Igbo 2023 Presidency? By eeetuk
Ibo leaders’ frequent trips to the Northern states of Nigeria to beg the residents of the region to give them 2023 presidency is sickened and unprecedented for two reasons. First, it is unconstitutional. They should know that by now. The Nigerian government is democracy----a system of government in which people choose their president by voting, not monarchy. Second, Northern Nigeria does not hold monopoly to decide who should be president of Nigeria. However, and just because Northern Nigeria consists of 19 states and South 17, should not decide who controls the presidency of Nigeria. In democracy, winning the presidency is winning the hearts and minds of voters, not buying them.
And Nigerians who choose to vote in favor of candidates from the North for presidency over their southern counterparts do so because they see Northern Nigerians as people who are more likely to share power, and not keep it to themselves as most southern leaders would do.
That said, but I want to talk about reports on what Ibos leaders are saying about producing 2023 presidency of Nigeria. And I begin here by citing statements made by Ibo leaders: Former governor of Anambra state, Chukwuemeka Ezeife has in many occasions said that the South-East is prepared to kneel or bow before every ethnic group to clinch the 2023 presidency, Sahara Reporters, December 5, 2021. That is sickening and a complete taboo. I find it difficult to believe that Ibos who participated in writing the 1999 constitution of Nigeria will go this low. Kneeling down to beg Northern Nigerian states to make an Ibo person the president of Nigeria is not attainable. I thought Ibos ’culture forbid people from kneeling down to beg. So, I now know I was wrong. This is laughable in my view. Can you imagine what will happen if Ibibios, Yorubas, Hausas, Ijaw, Edo and other ethnic groups in Nigeria were promoting their ambitions in this manner and what Ibos will say in their reactions? They will raise hell.
And just a few days ago, the chairman of Ndigbo cultural group, Chief Ohanaeze Obiozo made a similar blunder by saying this “there is no other tribe that will rebuild the North except Igbo, as there is no other tribe with a huge population, investments and had contributed in the past for the progress and development of the North except the Igbo.” -TheSouthernexaminer—an online website reported (12/08/2021.} who is Ohanaeze Obiozor talking to or deceiving?
Southeast geopolitical zone does not have any successful business model to rebuild southeast or Northern Nigeria or any part of Nigeria. None, Period. Ohanaeze Obiozor is a liar and idiot. And for him to claim that no other tribe will rebuild north except Ibo is a low blow to the people of the Northern Nigeria. What measurement is Ohanaeze Obiozor using to reach this outrageous conclusion?
So, I urge the people of Northern Nigeria to send a letter to Ohanaeze Obiozor to warn him about the consequence of his utterances and insults to their region. Oh, my God. I am shaking my head in outrage. Mr. Obiozor is living in an alternative Universe. The southeast geopolitical zone is a slum. Southeast is not even developed and they are talking about rebuilding the Northern states of Nigeria. What successful development in Southeast is Mr. Obiozor relying on? Renting shops in slums neighborhoods to sell outdated and imported items from abroad? Please don’t get me started. No part of the southeastern states can be used as a model to develop Nigeria—going forward. And here why.
The past 20 years in Southeast has witnessed a sharp declined in the population. Beginning from 1999, the population of entire Southeastern geopolitical zone was estimated at 12 million. Today, the population of Southeast geopolitical zone is between 4 to 5 million people—amazing decline.
What caused the population of the Southeastern geopolitical zone to decline so rapidly? The decline in the population of the Southeast geopolitical zone is caused by two things: first is lack of innovative ideas by Ibos to attract investments—which could generate jobs growth and keep local residents to live in the zone. Southeast geopolitical zone has the worst infrastructures development when you compare them to other part of Nigeria. Roads are in terrible state. Bridges don’t exist. Rising flood water has destroyed farmland all over southeast. Fishing industries have ceased to exist---leading to the largest migration of Ibos to other parts of Nigeria to look for jobs and places to live.
Authors David autor, David Dorn & Gordon H. Hanson (2012) have written articles on the effects of import on local economy. In their recent article on local labor market, they stated that import from countries with high wage can drastically reduce wage and employment in countries where the imported items are sold, Krugman 2000. This is significant because it proved why imports are jobs killers and has led to dwindling population in southeast geopolitical zone.
Why Nigeria Next President Cannot Come from Southeast. Nigeria next president in 2023 cannot come from southeast for many reasons. First, southeast is the worst developed geopolitical zone in Nigeria---not providing any road map for developing Nigeria. Second, States in the southeast have no good roads, and the few that exist are in terrible state. This is significant because Nigerians need a president who will build roads and bridges throughout the country to connect Nigerians together and develop economy that works for everyone. Third, citizens of southeast are unfriendly with people outside their tribe—reason why Nigerians don’t want to invest in the zone and why many Ibos have migrated outside the zone. Fourth, a southeast president will promote policy that favors minority exclusion in federal hiring, resources distribution, and development of infrastructures throughout Nigeria. Fifth, a southeast president will engage in unconstitutional laws—which would allow military to take over power again. Sixth, a southeast president will park courts with Ibos—promoting bias ruling in issues affecting individual liberty and more. Seven and lastly, a southeast president will flood Nigeria markets with imported goods—paving way for Nigeria economy to collapse within days of taking office.
Ibos don’t know how to develop their neighborhoods to attract outside investments. You never hear Ibo leaders call for the building of roads, bridges and highways to connect all the 36 states in Nigeria. All southeast citizens care is renting shops in slums neighborhoods and stocking them up with imported items---leading to breeding rooms for all sorts of crimes and decline in jobs opportunities.
The residents of the southeast relied 100% on imported goods to sell. Import is job killer. Every time you spend $1 to import stuff from overseas, you kill between 50 to 100 local jobs. We have seen the effects of this by the number of Ibos who have flee from the southeast zone to Lagos, Abuja and other parts of Nigeria.
The second reason for the decline in the population of Southeast is corruption by the governors of the Southeast geopolitical zone. Since 1999 when Nigeria transited from military rule to civilian government, many southeast politicians, and especially the state governors had amazed wealth to into private pockets for personal use.
Nigerian newspapers---especially the premium Times has reported that the former governor of Imo state Rochas Okorocha was arrested and questioned for corruptions by efcc. And in recent article published in Nairaland, Mr. Okorocha has promised to build school in Katsina state. Where did Mr. Okorocha get his money from? Is this why Igbo should be president of Nigeria in 2023?
Orji Uzor Kalu is the former governor of Abia state. He was found guilty of stealing over N7.65 billion and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment, PRNigeria website reported. Is this the kind of person from Southeast geopolitical zone that should be president of Nigeria?
So, for the purpose of this conversation, I want to introduce Ibos to how the president of Nigeria is produced---in hope they will stop begging Northern Nigerians to give them the presidency. The 1999 constitution of Nigeria states as follows on the process for electing the president of Nigeria:
How the president of Nigeria is produced 134. (1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election - (a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. (2) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election- (a) he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. (3) In a default of a candidate duly elected in accordance with subsection (2) of this section their shall be a second election in accordance with subsection (4) of this section at which the only candidate shall be - (a) the candidate who scored the highest number of votes at any election held in accordance with the said subsection (2) of this section; and (b) one among the remaining candidates who has a majority of votes in the highest number of States, so however that where there are more than one candidate with majority of votes in the highest number of States, the candidate among them with the highest total of votes cast at the election shall be the second candidate for the election.

You are making me laugh again, and again! And you know why. Because you fault me for something not true. I didn't write hate speech. I simply set the record straight. You have the chairman of Ndigbo cultural groups----Chanaeze Obiozor, falsely claiming that only Ibo can rebuild North , that should be condemned because it is a lie. Ibos cannot even build southeast,yet, talking about rebuilding a region 10 times bigger than the size of southeast.

You are right on the money! The people of southeast don't like someone to challenge them for putting out false information. They want people to agree with them 100% of the times. No, that is not me.
Can you imagine Ohanaeze Obiozor----chairman of Ndigbo cultural groups falsely claiming that only Ibo can rebuild North? That is real insult. What is Mr. Obiozor relying on? I don't see anything in southeast that can be used to rebuild North or any part of Nigeria, none.
That kind of lie got me real upset! 8 Likes |

Presidency is not given but taken.
If SE are really serious about the presidency, they should lobby around and convince the major political party to zone the party presidency to SE. Then, we can take them seriously 8 Likes 1 Share |

U have ur tongue inbtw cheek with this bare faced lies .. there's no other tribe in dis country that has devoloped Oda regions than the Igbo ethnic stock..it's allowed to continuously live in self denial.. cuz of envy.. but it will be too slanderous and at most wicked to say the East didn't devolop the North and Oda regions of this country with their industrious mien and rich Enterprise.. like I told my Oda friends on dis platform that hate from Oda ethnic stock is phps the catalyst that is breeding the astromical growth of the igbos since after the war that they all feel indimidated and phps feel if this tribe is given any chance at the center.. they will dominate absolutely.. but dats not entirely the Truth.. wat wud be reckoned as truth is that igbos are builders and not destroyers and I humbly tink that they will make a huge difference at the center if they are given the opportunity Ibos are builders yet refuse to build the south east Developers inc. No make me laugh abeg....you develop every other regions in this country except yours, are you okay?.....im sure your own charity does not begin ftom home 5 Likes |
