IGBOSON1:


^^^Interesting! So you're the one spamming this website with those pics!?

Now listen mate! Do not take the views expressed by a few political jobbers who just happen to be Igbo as a summation of the wishes and desires of a majority of Ndigbo! They have their reasons -whatever they may be- for deciding to go for a northerner come 2019; their decision could either be borne out of selfishness on their part or it could be borne out of a belief that the Hausa/Fulani hegemonic oligarchy -who it appears call the shots up north- are a bunch of self-centered, devious desperados willing to do whatever it takes (emphasis is on the word 'whatever') to retain power come 2019, and hence are prepared to make some concessions in order to wrest power back from the chiseling lying crooks that go by the name APC!

Knowing what you know about the core muslim norths desperation for power, do you honestly believe they would welcome and work with any Igbo name presented (or even Yoruba for that matter)? What we're witnessing is a group who have successfully sold a blatant lie to the rest of us concerning their population figures, and hence have managed to get the necessary number of states -via a succession of questionable census counts- enough to be able to cause an upset when needed and dictate the pace to the rest of us!

We're also seeing the results of mistrust in the southern part of Nigeria which they're capitalizing on! Ever wonder why it's 'one North', but when we want to talk of one East or one Southern Nigeria someone appears from nowhere to scream 'never' or 'attache by force'?

Newsflash mate: we all in the south are beholden politically to the rapacious and unforgiving northern political/clerical elite! This is the result of the status-quo presently in operation....a status-quo Igbos are trying to change while the core muslim north are fighting to retain! Why else do you think they've consigned the outcome of the recently concluded national conference to the scrap heap!?

Now can you tell me when the Yoruba have held power at the center without the say-so and tacit approval of the North? The two times in question (OBJs first and second coming)....we have the history books to enlighten us further! Now if a Yoruba can only be Head of State or President with the blessing of the core muslim north, what does that make you?

You call Igbos slaves to the north abi? How can this be so when we can survive without them (or your 'one Nigeria') yet they can't survive without us? Doesn't this make them not only enslaved to us economically, but shameless to boot!?

If you know anything about Ndigbo you'll know we can do alright with or without holding the keys to Aso Rock! Can we say the same for your precious north? We all saw how they threw a blood-soaked tantrum when they were out of power for just 14 years (from OBJ to GEJs tenure)! Doesn't this make them a slave to partisan politics? Now check out various developmental indices and tell me between Ndigbo that you stupidly mock and your northern friends who have held power the most, just who is better off!

You're small-minded, to put it mildly!

kahal29:


My broda wake up to reality. We are permanent voters in this country called NIGERIA. Nothing for us. We have been scammed and the earlier we realise that the better for us. As it stands now no candidate can match buhari either from the north east or west. What is PDP offering them that they don't have already? Is the president..... They already have. Is it speaker.......? They have. Talk of appointments...... Them finish work. So what are you luring them with? You talk of northeast.... They have benefited more than any other zone under pmb.Two out of every appointment made by pmb alwz comes from their? My broda...... Uzo di far!!!!!!!!

Chrisilo:
We love it that way!
Whatever that will sweep away the lying liars by 2019 is what we are for.
With Ekweremadu as the VP, definitely the Igbos are going to be better-off than the coward zone that produced a mere commissioner as we have currently.
2023 or even 2027 is near the corner.
We don't need the Presidency at all cost!
All you APC e-tugs should get ready to resume your duties by May 2019, at least your pay masters would have made enough cash to sustain their companies (Sahara & The Nation) including you for a long while.
You can not continue ruling this country with your lies and propaganda. 2019 is your bus top. That's if both the Dullard and his Commissioner will not be impeached before then.
I love Fayose!
I love GEJ!!
I love PDP!!!!!!!!!!

Tolatutu:


You all are about to go and vote northerner for a 2nd turn since we can say Buhari is finishing Yaraduas turn this time while you've not had a chance yet . Yet you won't raise a voice and complain to Pdp , instead you will sheepishly tow the line and I can assure you that they won't even field an Igbo as VP.

Igbos have been shouting about northern agenda since and calling Yorubas slaves for aligning with the north. Now you are hypocritically about to do the same only it's worse because you won't even get vp. Igbos will now start campaigning and voting for those they've called Kunu sipping, illiterates , blah blah

We all know that the northerners will never vote for an Igbo man if the case was the reverse and certainly you would not see northerners wearing their traditional outfits to go and protest on behalf of an Igbo politician. Anyday, northerners will still vote for a Yoruba over Igbo ( they voted OBj), they can't stand you lot yet instead for you to stand as men and field one of your own you will do the cowardly thing.

ArodewilliamsT:


Will a northerner vote a yorubaman, if another northerner is contesting?

Movic1:
Politically igbos are the most confused people in Nigeria. This inferiority complex tribe called igbo voted against Nnamdi Azikwe in favor of shehu shagari in the second republic. In 2003 they voted against Ikemba Ojukwu in favour of OBJ .Again in 2007 they voted againt Ojukwu and Orji kalu in Favor of Yaradua.
Chekwas okorie was practically and systematically crippled and buried far away from the house he built i.e APGA . The lazy,hypocrite and jealous igbo politicians are busy feeding Ndi-Igbos citizens with tribal and religious political hate, when other region were strategizing their end for Nigeria political relevance.
Bola Tinubu is widely seen by igbos as a criminal,oppressor and emperor of yoruba land due to his firm stance in building a sound and respected Yoruba Voice in Nigeria Politics. What about buhari?

Movic1:


The so called coward Zone ruled for 8yrs. produced VP, Produced two strong political giant that every politicians in Nigeria runs to i.e OBJ and Tinubu. why cant you guys produce your own mere commissioner as vp for the past 16yrs?

reuben79:
yes ooooooo,pls help me thm.wat i knw is dat igbos cannot rule dis country.let north produce presidential candidate and south eaat produce vp,no way.were goin use social media finish thm.were waitin

I think the title of this thread should be "wake up call for the southern region"!! Only a certified fool would think the PDP,APC or anyother serious political party would hand over its presidential ticket to the igbos or any other southern region in 2019 or 2023!! Face it bro any party that fields a southerner against a northern candidate in this current political dispensation would lose woefully!! Even if Buhari wins and rules till 2023,The APC would lose should it field Osinbanjo or anyother SWner against a Northern PDP candidate in 2023!! This is simply common sensemThe north are ver much united and do not care about any party as long as they are the presidential candiadate while we in the south keep fooling ourselves!!

Tinubu succeeded in ruining southern unity achieved for the first time in our nations history in 2011,This betrayal would haunt the south for years to come as the souhern regions would find it difficult to stand unified for any southern presidential candidate.

If the APC fields a SWner,the PDP would field a northerner with a VP from the SS/SE likewise if the PDP should field a SS/SE ,the APC would field a northerner with a SW VP.

Better brace up dear,the north would rule us for a very long time to come whether in APC or PDP.The so-called sophisticated yorubas jubilating and thinking they are politically savvy would soon understand what i mean if the APC are stupid enough to field Osinbanjo or anyother SWner against a northern PDP candiadate.The recent experience of Femi Gbajabiamilla in the speakership of the HOR contest should be a prelude of what is to come in future.

So unless the south overcomes her differences and unites,we would continue to play second fiddle to these northerners.

sandraokosun:
dont tag it south affair.Speak 4 ur igbo. If buhari does two terms and tell the north vote a yoruba(apc) they would win even an hausa pdp candidate. It happened with obj. Yoruba hausa combo works

TRUTHTOPOWER:


Sir, it is not as bad as it seems. Even though there is ethnicity, experice under each republic since 1960, clearly suggest that common sense and honour prevalis.

1st Republic- the north won with SE alliance.
2nd Republic- -the north won with SE alliance
3rd Republic -the SW won with North Alliance
4th Republic (a)- the SW won with North Alliance
" (b) - the North won with SS Alliance
" (c) - SS won with North Alliance.
" (d)- North won with SW alliance
whatever we feel about this scenario, let us discuss it as if we are Russian politicians (no attachment to anyone that is)

the north will do eight years through the alliance of (d) above. Whether both alliance will produce Yoruba and Hausa as President VP respectively depends on many factors because it has never happened before.

The closest scenario was VP GEJ who got the sympathy of all Nigerians excluding core north. But GEJ won in a divided north. This is due to honour and commonsense in 2011.

Just as PDP honourably gave ticket to GEJ both in 2011 and 2015. APC will give the ticket to South in 2023. we have no exception to this rule yet ( in successive democratic regimes).

SE can be like SW of 1999 who produced the Presidential candidates for both parties. SW spoke with one voice to achieve this and spoke with best intentions for the country. They spoke with concern for Muslims and Christians alike and never felt that any group of people were inherently bad. in return the whole country voted for their candidates without fear of retribution. Obsasanjo reciprocated by uniting the country.

The question is: how does SE hope to get into presidency that it truly deserves? Hating the incumbent without any history of support for him is a curious strategy. Presidency have never been won only for the reason that North is on top of the ticket.

if it is rigging, you cannot out-rig the incumbent unless you are massively popular and you most likely could have won a free and fair election.

If it is by popularity, you have to appeal to popular issues. war against corruption, job creation and social justice. You can then do your political permutationon these issues.

I may be wrong but protesting against corruption war , insulting other ethnic groups, declaring war on the Nation and hate speeches are not exactly a strategy for popular mobilization. Without exception anywhere in the modern world, you can only win peoples heart through promise of redemption and salvation from their conditions never because it is your right or that you must get it by superficial intrigues of zoning.

OfoIgbo:
Yoruba hope of fielding a Yoruba in 2019 has been destroyed by this deft move by PDP.

This is a masterstroke as Yoruba calculations have been seriously undermined.

Tinubu thought that supporting Buhari will earn him the presidency in due course as northerners will support Yoruba in return. But in actual fact, a northerner will always support yet another northerner, so Yoruba calculatiins have been upturned.

Actually, the Yorubas have completely lost out. The more I think of it, this is a wise move by SE/SS-controlled PDP. because whenever APC fields a Yoruba, PDP will field a northerner. My fellow Igbos who are looking at this move by PDP via a short term spectacle, will eventually appreciate the wizardry in this decision.


The bottomline is that Yoruba calculations, for which they betrayed a SS president have been utterly destroyed!!!!!

Eziachi:

Who made this calculation and where you there holding the calculator to know who the equation was being worked?
There is no individual known as Yoruba? Doesn't Yoruba has many people inside the PDP as in APC? Or you think that every Yoruba belongs APC?

As we speak, PDP controls two states in the South West and only control four out of six in the SE. And if not for brazen rigging in Abia, it would had been just three states for PDP in the SE.
Does some of you think or have any sort of stat or facts before writing?

aresa:




The fact that after tens of thousands of ibos were slaughtered up north after your '66 follish coup adventure, you exodused back to your villages in the east, then turn around and return to the same north even considering the fact that you are still getting killed means you can not do without them

Also simply because iboland is socially and economically depressed and unproductive and generations after generations of ibo young and adults have to migrate to seek their daily bread in the same other parts of Nigeria that you love to hate means Nigeria can do without you while you can not do without Nigeria..

...so much for your flawed and myopic assertions..

You grabbed the words off my tongue, apart from daily flocking to the North in their Chisco, ABC, Young Shall Grow buses etc. despite being endangered species, the SE relies on the North for their meat, milk, grains etc and the helpless poor soul was attempting to skew facts.

It's going to be a holiday watching these politically daft hypocrites campaign for a kunu-sipping almajiri they are too happy to deputize for in 2019

You're not being truthful with the highlighted sentences.

TRUTHTOPOWER:

Of course I may be wrong. Ok let me concede that I lied. Now look at it: your own inability to give benefit of the doubt to someone who may eventually be your ally will ultimately make that person distrust you. This has been the problem. In politics and in parliamentary debates, you win majority to your side through careful choice of words. and you can talk the way you like about people that you WILL NEVER Seek their support.

APC leaders knew where their votes will come from and they attacked only individuals not ethnic groups. Today, FFK is still calling Fulani Tse Flies, PEJ said some they born Children 'throway' Kanu is encouraged to call Nigeria zoo. Again maybe am wrong. maybe Nigeria will beg SE with power out of fear. Take note, SW will benefit from whatever SE makes of itself in 2023.

I hear of Ekweremadu as the projected leader. PDP....POWER! It is always about who has Power and not about COSENSUS.

Between Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani who makes lousy, provoking noise and propaganda using every available media outfit?

In the build up to the 2015 general elections certain people made careless and careless utterances thereby heating up the polity. Is any of them Igbo

The likes of FFK, Fayose, Fashola, Tinubu, Lai, El Rufai, Junaid Mohammed, Obj and Sahara Reporters who heated the polity with their utterances, is any of them Igbo?
