The part that caught my attention is where you mentioned the usual laughable phrase of Igbos being called "naive" politically by most ignorant and wannabe wise political commentators from different parts of the country, especially those on this platform. Don't tell me that you do take people with such myopic thought seriously.

For the record, the Igbos have never been politically naive. That they aren't well-represented in the executive arm of the current dispensation doesn't automatically make them so.

This dispensation - not republic - aside, they have always gotten fair share of their place in the Nigeria political equation; they were more visible in the first republic government than any other zone from the South; the same as in the second republic; in the third republic when pushed, after the IBB government banned political exposed people like Nzeribe, Iwuanyawu, Ekwueme from emerging the presidential candidates of their respective and prospective parties which made it possible for political neophytes like MKO Abiola and Tofa to later enter the race to grab the SDP and NRC tickets in the 1993 presidential election, they scuttled it via Nzeribe's ABN.

Of course, at the inception of this fourth republic, in fact until the present dispensation in this fourth republic, they have been active players.

So, when ignorant and mischievous people say the Igbos don't know how to play national politics, I laugh hard at their foolishness.

The inability of an Igboman of the South East geopolitical zone to emerge the president of Nigeria yet isn't because of political naivety or lack of wherewithal of any form from politicians from the zone, but[b] because of feeble-mindedness and small-mindedness in general of the majority of the voters from other zones, [/b][b][/b][/font][font=Lucida Sans Unicode]

which is traceable to a fundamental issue.

This is the type of insolence that is your undoing.

Being impressed with stupidity... Keep it up!

Perfectly mirrored.

My sincere opinion is that we should support and present a candidate that is more appealing to people of other nationalities based on their track record, to the best of my knowledge Kanu is never one of them.

Kanu represent nothing igbo but selfishness and personal interest. Kanu was one of those who destroyed APGA i can remember, APGA would have become an eastern force we would have used to negotiate power .

"WE SOUTHERNERS " want a southern president

Mehn 2021 was a fun year

It a lie, you are politically naive, how could Igbos have supported Buhari in 2015

Who is talking about 2015.....if you had voted for him when he had ibos as VP by now an iboman would have become president....clearly making an iboman president wasnt in the plans of PDP just that it took most ibos this long to realise.

If even when ibos didn't vote for in 2015 they have not been antagonizing him and stirred of secessionist agitations who knows he might be favourably disposed to handing over to an iboman....maybe an Ogbonnaya onu but unfortunately you people were hating and fighting the man thats could have made an iboman president.

Anyway you are welcome to realpolitik

You mean voted for a failure, I don't think you are even listening to yourself, well Igbos don't play politics of selfishness, how do we vote for a colossal failure just for our own selfish interest, you that voted for him, are you proud of your choice. Let's see if that means a chance of you being president come 2023

so you dont know politics is a game of selfishness...you go soon wake up, if not selfishness why are you all crying that ibos have never been president when there are over 200 other tribes that have never been even senate president

There is different between selfishness and foolishness, you voted Buhari, there is serious insecurity that had lead to loss of lives, people running away to Benin doesn't seem like a selfish choice, it was a foolish self destruct choice, the Tinubu that brought this calamity to power is even being decimated by the day, the table had turned, where is your politics.

Oh you think victimhood isn't an aspect of politics well, last time I checked we have 7 state capitals within such a small landmass lol, you want to wake up the Igbo is dominating Cry of Awolowo lol welcome to politics.

What then is ?

You failed in 2015,2019 and you will also fail in 2023, there's no two way about it.

AlexBells:

It a lie, you are politically naive, how could Igbos have supported Buhari in 2015, Buhari having a Yoruba vice why should we chose a Yoruba vice over an Ijaw president that identifies greatly with us, meanwhile Buhari ran with an Igbo candidate earlier, Buhari couldn't have handed over to us that easy being that we were greatly opposed to his presidency which we still are.

You Yorubas that built political third mainland bridge and remained docile so you don't seem abusive, what's happening today, is the North going to cede the presidency to you, meanwhile we Igbos did not contribute anything in bringing the failure you all imposed on everyone in the person of Buhari so what are you saying, stop talking about insult and advice yourself instead of advising others, Igbo youth have the right to insult so keep it in your mind and come 2023 we would insult some people with our PVC

I know you are just speaking for your self and that's not new, it's in blood. You took after your political ancestor.
