Pazienza your shifting goal posts, your shifting goal posts again. How on earth is Edo not related to any groups in the SS. Where did you pull that from. All of Delta South (which is part of SS)the Uhrobo, Isoko and Itsekiri came from the Benin kingdom. These are Edoid groups. Even if you don't believe The Ika and Ukwuani are Benin, know that Delta south is. Even some Ijaw groups come from Benin kingdom. You can even go on Wikipedia and see that the etche and ogba of rivers state (in the SS) come from Benin kingdom. These are all SS groups that are related to the Edo people. They come from us. Our genetics is the same. We border delta state

Nigeria monorail system from which country?

Those Igboid groups recant those Edo origin fairy tales because they want to remain independent of the larger Igbo body, at the moment. Take them serious at your own peril.

Igbanke, an Ika. Igboid speaking people have been in recent years pushing hard to leave Edo state, and as a result of that, the truth has been coming out from them. We don't hear the Edo made up fairy tales from Igbanke people. What we hear is that they are not and have never been Edo. We hear the truth that Edo titles in their domain and names are all vestiges of Bini imperialism on their people, which is the rational truth.

They want out of Edo and to join Ika.

Yorubas never hated OBJ. In 1999, he wasn't their prefered candidate because he was running against Another Yoruba by name olu Falae, they knew they had nothing to lose, head or tail, a Yoruba wins.

If they didn’t hate OBJ in 1999 then why could he not win a single SW state that year? You are the one hallucinating against common sense and logic.

When in 2003, it became obvious he was the only Yoruba candidate running, Yorubas voted for him massively, the slogan was " He is our son".

Yorubas were rooting for OBJ in 2003 on account of “He is our son” slogan and Igbos joined them in voting their son and preferred candidate. Can we call that a Yoruba-Igbo agenda therefore? Very funny!

OBJ swept the votes in SW in 2003. He also swept the votes in SS and SE in 1999. The Biafra-Arewa thing is a product of your hallucinations.

With the exception of Lagos, elections in the whole SW in 2003 results were characterized by ballot box snatching falsification of results, etc all in a bid for OBJ to prevent the humiliation he had suffered in 1999. Only in Lagos was it satisfactorily free and fair and OBJ lost it. Was Lagos a non-Yoruba state as of then?

No, You only ended up exposing your own hypocrisy, Igbophobia and obsession with Ndiigbo.
It's on record that Enahoro and Awolowo, both civilians formed unholy alliance with a Northern military dictator in 1967.

Self-contradiction again. It is on record too that Igbos decided to pitch tents with the Feudalist North against all against all other Southerners before other southerners. repeated it in 1979 despite the bitter lessons of the first occasion

And currently, Edos in connivance with Yorubas betrayed a Sothern president to once again pitch tent with a Northern former military dictator.
And Igbos in connivance with Hausa-Fulani betrayed the southern solidarity in 1993 to once again pitch tent with Abacha – a sitting military dictator and the worst in Nigeria’s history

Why should we vote for MKO? Would Yorubas had voted for an Igbo man?
Why should you vote for MKO being a Yoruba man? Was the OBJ you voted massively for in 1999 and 2003 an Igbo man? And that was an election contested by not just an ordinary Igbo man but a very illustrious one, Igbos ditched him for a Yoruba man and still gave more votes to a Fulani man than him.

Zik is not celebrated as much. But that does not mean that we would allow Igbophobic bitter beings, whose leaders were not fit to lace Zik shoe intellectually or otherwise, to tarnish his image.
"You first save the chick from the hawk, before you start blaming the mother for carelessness".~ Igbo proverb
You best believe that no Igbo man would allow Igbophobic beings to tarnish Zik image

Did Zik have an Image? The same Zik whose burial Ojukwu, the greatest Igbo hero, deliberately refused to attend? An “intellectual” who kept on seeking unity with those busy slaughtering his own brothers right before him on a daily basis? Edo was never that cursed to have such an “intellectual”.
The fact that he is not celebrated means he is not as valued as a chick. Is there any chick which is unloved by its mother hen?
Read below the damning verdict Ojukwu, the Igbo hero, slammed on Zik
http://odili.net/news/source/2011/dec/4/601.html
Part of it reads:
At independence, he cut a rather tragic figure. He was to me the symbol of a Nigeria that might have been, but was not. He became the one Nigerian, alongside whom every other Nigerian achievement, every other success, paled in comparison. He became Governor-General, the Queen's official representative. He later became President - a ceremonial executive. Throughout the First Republic, it slowly permeated the perception of the masses that his position in terms of power was empty. He could not dissociate himself from the inequities of the First Republic. He could not intervene to halt the inequities, and from time to time we saw him justifying and rationalising actions we were sure conflicted with his better judgment. With bitterness, we began to learn that Zik, whom the British colonial administration could never incarcerate, he willingly constituted himself a prisoner of what appeared to us as northern interests. With many others, I began to feel let down. During the war, which to a certain extent was a war to free him, he rallied to the Biafran side but later switched his support when it appeared the Biafran resistance would fail.
Deriving from this act, many have questioned his commitment to the Igbo. Many have recalled that he is of Onitsha extraction and that Onitsha has with great pride claimed and continued to claim a non-Igbo lineage. The foregoing, coupled with the fact that the Igbo appear today to be marginalised and lacking in any appreciable influence within the power structure of Nigeria invariably has made the leadership of the Igbo by Zik a subject of a vast amount of discussion. In my own candid opinion, ZIK DID NOT SET OUT TO LEAD THE IGBO AND HAS NOT IN FACT LED THE IGBO. He has been first and foremost a Nigerian who aspired to a Nigerian leadership. When the British withdrew in 1960, Nigeria was left in the hands of three great men. Of the three, Zik could be said to have been the dreamer whilst the others were hard-headed realists. Zik believed, worked for and made sacrifices for a Nigeria that had not yet come into existence - the ideal Nigeria. Those who followed him worked for this ideal, and perforce had to make sacrifices for this ideal. It is only natural that finding this ideal increasingly unattainable, they found themselves deflated and deprived vis a vis the realists, who from the beginning, ensured for their groups a share of whatever was going.
I have no quarrel with Zik, I cannot quarrel with Zik. I am rather too small for that. In Igbo culture and tradition, a son cannot quarrel with his father. Zik is my father. I grew up on his lap. My father considered him his friend and testified to this fact at the Foster-Sutton tribunal. It is true that he and I have not agreed on many issues. This is more due to the generation gap than to anything else. Our ambitions are different - where he would appear to wish to lead the Igbo, I would be content to serve them. In Igbo language, we say that one does not choose one's relatives, but friends. As a father, I love and respect him. As a politician, I disagree with his policies which I believe, to a large extent, have left the Igbo naked.

Lol! Buhari got just 19% of the votes in Imo, he got whopping 40% in Edo. A state that is supposed to be part of SS,lol!
Imo still delivered over 70% of the votes to GEJ, despite all Okorocha efforts.

Lol! We are comparing Imo not with Edo but with other Middle East states among which Imo was a clear departure from the general trend of APC percentages as shown below:
Enugu – 2.3%
Anambra – 2.6%
Abia –3.5%
Ebonyi -5.7%
Imo – 19.4%
The Edo’s 40% could be understood on the consideration of having their son as the national chairman of APC coupled with Edo’s revulsion for PDP on account of being the SS state hardest hit by PDP governors’ misgovernance since 1999. But what can we say is responsible for Imo’s 20% which, compared with Edo’s 40%, represents 50% translating to a credit grade mark to put it on the same pass range with Edo? Again, looking at it on the ratio of Percentage
: years spent in APC as at the time of the election we get as follows
Edo: 40% after 8 years of being in APC
Imo: 20% after 4 years of being in APC
It is perfectly the same proportion which translates to mean that Imo too will give at least 40% to APC after 8 years which corresponds to 2019 when Buhari will likely recontest.

Ndi Anambra loved Ngige not ACN, moreover this your analogy is flawed. Both Ngige and Akunyili and other candidates in that election were from Anambra. Is Buhari from SS? Why then was a supposedly SS state giving him as high as 40% of its vote in an Election a SS candidate was a frontrunner?
You need help. Imagine comparing apples with oranges.

If not for short memory, my mention of Ngige and ACN was in response to your insinuation that Edo’s being in CAN for 8 years suggests a pro-Northern leaning. You are rather the one with flawed analogy. Now, just like your defence for Ngige here; was Oshiomhole not equally from Edo? Is Buhari from the SE? Why then was a supposed state of the SE where people claimed he committed genocide on them during the War even give him as high as 20% in an election also contested by a candidate from their supposed sister Region? That was pure madness?
Edo’s giving of 40% to him without any history or claim of genocide makes more sense than the 20% in a state in the Middle East where they accuse him of monumental genocide. That is just too outrageous and extremely stupid! As much as 20% for a man who, according to they themselves, killed innocent women and children in thousands? Silly!

Well, Yorubas were not contesting elections under AG in the East, if they did, only then do they stand chance of winning.
Igbos were contesting for elections in the West, because the Igbo population there was substantial and that remains same today.
My argument holds.

You had earlier argued that the Igbo population in the West as at 1979 was not sufficient enough to have been responsible for the 10% Shagari got in Oyo, but now you posit again that Igbos already substantially populated the Western Region as far back as the AG vs NCNC time which is over 25 years before 1979. Speaking from the two sides of your mouth. So which do we believe now? Can you see how inconsistent you’ve always been?

Zik wasn't supporting an Igbo candidate in that NYM election. He was supporting a Yoruba candidate Samuel Akinsanya. That election wasn't about Ethnicity.
That election was really not about ethnicity to everyone except Zik. Awolowo supported an Ijaw man who won but Zik who, with his abysmal sportsmanship spirit which was to manifest again few years later in the Western Regions premiership election, later felt disgraced by his loss to a minority and in bitterness accused Awolowo and his supporters of discrimination against Akinsanya’s Ijebu sub-tribe not minding the fact that Awolowo was himself Ijebu, and then pulled out the Igbo folk from NYM. For goodness sake what was his business with Yorubas’ intra-tribal affair any more than the Igbo intra-tribal Osu Caste discrimination concerned non-Igbos?

Your attempt of drawing Tonyebarcanista to fight your battles for you since it's obvious you are not Ijaw and your attempt to cry on their behalf is quite pathetic.
What's your game? Bring Tonye in to serve as your shield why you cry how Igbos denial of Boro secession plans affected a far away Edo man in Midwestern region?
Poor comprehension as usual! Of course I referenced Barcanista’s thread firstly to answer to your question as to how many non-Yoruba Southerners’ ambitions have ever enjoyed Yorubas’ backing, and secondly to destroy your insinuation that the anti-Igbo stance of the Ijaws is but an Edo propaganda. And you got the message, hence your high BP over the mention of Barcarnista whose submissions there were killer punches to the lies of your likes there. Go there and prove Tonye wrong with superior argument if you can.
Why not let the courts say! What is the business of an Igbo man with a land tussle within a state he himself repeatedly says are Northerners or Yorubas? Is that not hypocrisy and instability? You are manifesting the symptoms of insanity. Simple!
I know my mention of Ijaw angle always annoys you as it stands as the greatest and most unassailable evidence of Igbo greed, persecution of others Southern tribes with the Hausa-Fulanis’ support, expansionism, etc. We started this debate as Edo versus Igbo but you brought Yoruba into it to score cheap points so I too brought Ijaw in. I will continue to make reference to Ijaw and your crying of blue murder can not stop me.

You want Tonye to come fight your battles for you, while your greedy expansionism driven Edos and your Oba plot on how to chase Ijaws off their ancestral land in Gelegele?
Dude, you are pathetic.

The Gelegele land ownership issue was taken to the Supreme Court and the Binis won. So your utterance on it amounts to contempt of court and therefore betrays prejudice, unenlightenment, and Edophobia. Of course we know Igbos are lawless and have no respect for democracy institutions. If it were really an expansionist drive on Edos’ part it would not have taken the Oba a minute to overrun Gelegele prior to colonization. The Oba’s choice of approaching the court over the issue maeans he was ready to accept the court verdict either way it swung, thus can’t pass for expansionism. But Ojukwu and Igbos who, despite claiming that Edo is unrelated to them, invaded Edo and with force tried to annex it to Biafra land without any supporting court verdict or consent of the people. That was expansionism in its real definition.
Mr. Man, you stink of ignorance and Edophobia.

Neither Tofa nor MKO were from
SE or SS, so it doesn't really matter who Anambra, Rivers, Abia, Imo voted in that election.
But in the 2003 election in which Ojukwu was from your own Middle East you voted for a Yoruba man. So what stupid and senseless defense are you giving here that both Tofa’s and MKO’s not being from SS or Middle East made Igbos choose randomly? You are just daft and illogical!

Neither Ribadu nor Buhari/ GEJ were Yorubas in 2011.
Osun can afford to vote who ever they wanted. None of the frontrunners were Yorubas. Even, the voters turn out during 2011 elections in SW was abysmal for this same reason.

Your analytical ability is near Zero.
See this fool! Was It not the same you who argued that even though neither Shagari nor AWolowo was Igbo, but Igbos chose Shagari because he picked Ekweme, an Igbo, as running mate? And you have comfortably forgotten that Ribadu had a Yoruba running mate and that could be cited for his choice by Osun people according to your logic. In fact even Buhari too had a Yoruba running mate but all other Yoruba states voted for GEJ/Sambo neither of whom was Yoruba.
Your analytical ability is on the negative.

This wasn't same with 2015 elections. Edo is supposed to be part of SS, they are supposed to be brothers to GEJ, yet what we saw in the polls showed the true picture of things. Edo is amphoteric, a true freak of nature, more SW/ NC in orientation and political culture.

Edo believes in solidarity but not to the extent of retaining it when it is no longer justified or sensible to do so. Blind solidarity is more of an Igbo thing. In 2011 when GEJ appeared genuinely concerned about the plight of the SS Edo rose above partisan considerations and gave him bloc votes in solidarity, but four years later when it became clear that he was another Azikiwe, Edo gave it a second thought. But despite Igbos can’t point to any concrete achievement in the whole Middle East, they still stuck to him not even really for solidarity purpose but for the assumption that he would make Biafra possible for them or hand power over to them at the end of his second term. Fools!
And in any case, the 40% Edos who voted for APC on account of GEJ’s refusal to address the SS Question are now being vindicated on a daily basis as the APC-led FG has commenced efforts aimed at genuinely addressing the SS agitations over the years which even GEJ, a son of the soil, refused to attend to. They are: The reclassification of modular refineries, Ogoni Land clean up, Coastal rail line construction, Relocation of oil all companies headquarters to the Niger Delta Region, etc. On the other hand what can really be pointed to as GEJ’s concrete achievement in connection with the SS Question? While children were having classes under trees and people drank water up to 60% polluted with crude oil in SS communities GEJ’s was took as much as N500bn out of a peltry budget of N4.5tn and pumped into building, in the North, Almajiri schools only for Northerners to later discredit and reject them as an attempt towards educational segregation. What is the use of having in power a SS son who actually pandered more to Northern interests than the sufferings of his own people? He abandoned the entire South and Middle Belt which voted for him but spent all his time trying to please the Hausa-Fulanis who did not only vote against him but started killing and burning houses immediately he was declared winner in 2011. And that was the kind of person you wanted Edos to vote for once more and by over 80%? You think Edos are foolish like Igbos? And without prejudice to the rigging that explained the very delayed results of the other SS states, I would let you know that other SSners never pretended about GEJ’s failure to address the fundamental problems of the SS. In fact his most vocal critics within the region were his own Ijaw brothers. Asari Dokubo never missed an opportunity to make it clear that GEJ failed the SS but that his support for him was just about balancing the power equation in Nigeria. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/111270-jonathan-has 0-failed-niger-delta-asari-dokubo.html. A section of Asari Dokubo’s speech reads: “
Monkey no fine, but the mama like am, but when the ugly monkey becomes so rascal, the mother will desert it because if the mother continues to like the monkey in its ugly rascality, she too will die with the ugly monkey, after all she has more than one monkey child…... It is alarming that the SS must have its uninterrupted eight years tenure but with the way things are going under Jonathan’s watch, we are afraid that we may not be able to….”
I guess you’ ll say Dokubo is from SW/NC
Other blunders of Jonathan which turned Edo against him are:
--- his giving of national awards of honour to rogues like IBB who institutionalized corruption; Abacha the murderer of Saro Wiwa his (GEJ’s) own brother; OBJ who ordered genocide in 1999 in Odi in his own Bayelsa home state; etc for what he, GEJ, himself described as their contribution to national building. He ironically ignored the Ken Saro Wiwa who pioneered and got matyred for the fight that made his presidency as a SS man possible as if to say that all Saro Wiwa’s championing of resource control, restructuring and bioremediation of oil polluted areas was an act of nation destruction thus his refusal to honour him with an award let alone raise a national monument in his name. He refused to convoke a confab until Okorounmu and Nwabueze pressured him into it which he reluctantly succumbed to. At a time nearly every one in the SS was getting more enlightened about the structural basis of Nigeria’s failure, Jonathan began to argue that Nigeria’s problem had nothing to with structure but corruption which once killed every other thing would just fall into their places. Also, at a time the Northern military elite establishment of the Katsina Mafia was being suspected of responsibility for the Boko Haram national insecurity GEJ sacked a fellow SSner, Azazi Owoye, as NSA and replaced him with a Nortrhern military elite, Dasuki. Also in pursuit of his attempt to attract the huge but falsified votes of Kano Jonathan which he should have rather sought to correct, he, on Kwankwaso’s request, sacked Festus Odimegwu as NPC chairman just because the latter spoke a bitter truth about Nigeria’s census history which pricked Kwankwaso’s guilty conscience. Was that Kano vote not later to drown him? Did Kwankwaso eventually deliver those votes to him? The same Jonathan hounded Ibori overseas in the name of corruption whereas OBJ, IBB, and other Northerners whose loots makes Ibori’s a child’s play walked free. And that was the kind of person you wanted Edos to give 100% votes in the name of SS solidarity. Was GEJ himself showing any solidarity to the SS course or rather to the Hausa-Fulanis?
Rather than revisit Saro Wiwa’s comprehensive blueprint on the Niger Delta demands from the FG Jonathan was satisfied with the amnesty offer which was mistakenly accepted by the political elite of the ND against the preference of the Okah Brother’s whom he hounded till he was kicked out of power.
The same person gave a N9bn worth pipeline protection contract to OPC leader Gani Adams while people people in the riverine areas of the SS lived in shanties.
Edos don’t put up with stupidity under the excuse of solidarity, and Neither the rest of the SS. Only Igbos do, hence their continued defence and celeberation of Azikiwe whose leadership and representation caused them a havoc which took them 30m years backwards. The SS issue is far beyond having a SSner in power, and this is what flimsy Igbos like you are completely ignorant of.
Jonathan was a wasted opportunity for the SS. Edos realized it first and expressed it at the polls despite having given him bloc votes in 2011. With the FG’s fantastic reforms currently targeted at the SS’ oil industry other SS states have passively acknowledged Edo’s vindication.
Below are the assessment of GEJ’s concern about the SS by sincere enlightened individuals from the region.

http://www.sensornewsonline.com.ng/jonathan-failed-ndelta-chris-ekpenyong/

Only Igbos have decided to continue living in the past and continue fantasizing about GEJ who wasted an opportunity to redeem the SS and Middle Belt while licking the arses of the Katsina Mafia.
Only Igbos are so stupid and dishonest never to criticize their own no matter how wrong and how detrimental his actions are to them just like Hausas and Fulanis do. And that’s why I insist that Igbos and Hausa-Fulanis share a lot in common as regards value system and attitude. Edwin Clarke gave the same verdict on him too. MEND, a 100% Ijaw group, endorsed Buhari’s candidacy in that election. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/mend-supports-buhari-jonathan/ .
https://trwstockbrokers./2016/08/11/for-six-whole-years-mr-jonathan-was-busy-drinking-making-merry/

I guess you’ll say MEND was a SW/NC group, right? Igbos and their childish ways of reasoning!
The figures which APC later got in Bayelsa Governorship election was an evidence of the suspected rigging in the presidential election. With the implementation of UNEP report, the legalization of modular refineries, etc even Dokubo and the others are beginning to see that they were mistaken about their perceptions on the 2015 election. Have you heard him speak so vehemently again? Edo stands vindicated.

No! In 2011, GEJ won SW and NC too. Edo being more of a NC/ SW state politically and geographically just followed suit.
And for the fact that GEJ also won in the Middle East in 2011, then the Middle East also followed suit and became like the SW and NC where GEJ also won.
But in 2015 GEJ lost in the SW and NC yet won in Edo just like every other SS state. You see how stupid you have become in your analysis?

He won Ekiti too? But like Edo, it was just barely.
Ekiti was a PDP state ironically he won barely. But Edo was an APC state yet he got 60%

What ACN sterling performance do you speak off in
Edo?
You would never know because you are blinded by prejudice and Edophobia. What performance record did your PDP have in Edo?

Well, let's also assume that ACN good governance in Imo made the people re elect Rochas, yet Imo people were able to separate regional politics from party politics and individual performance. Hence at presidential level, gave GEJ more than 70% of the votes.
The same folks like you have always argued that Rochas’ re-election was rigged hence he did not really perform. I have heard that argument here on NL repeatedly. So it could be explained that had Rochas performed Buhari would have scored up to 80% in Imo.

One can't be asking too much by asking for 70% of votes from a supposedly SS state for a SS presidential candidate, if Imo, a SE state can afford to deliver over 70% of her votes to a SS man, simply because of defunct Eastern region solidarity.
One can’t as well be asking too much for wondering why a state in a region which openly called GEJ their own son gave his mortal enemy whom they accuse of war crimes as much as 20%.

Instead, Edo couldn't resist the Arewa pull, just like Yorubas. Guess somethings never change, huh? 40% votes for an ex military dictator that is from the North? Sounds already like 1967 all over again.
Just like how Igbos could not resist Arewa pull in 1959, 1979, 1999, and are currently trying to replay their usual blind marriage with them in 2019. Imo already is leading the replay of the Arewa-Biafra marriage with 20% commitment. The trend is already spreading across the Middle East as tesitified to by the gale of defections rocking the region.

Lol! Does Edo really have much prominent politicians in Nigeria.
The Anenih, who bestrode the landscape of your beloved PDP like a colossus is from Edo State. Tom Ikhimi is another. Odigie Oyegun is the national Chairman of APC. In fact during SDP vs NRC, times the two parties’ national chairmen were simultaneously Tony Anenih and Tom Ikhimi respectively both of whom were from Edo.
Only Edo State has set this record of simultaneously producing the national chairmen of the two biggest parties in Nigeria's history, yet a deluded punk like you claim Edo does not have prominent politicians. Then what does "prominent" mean?
Has the entire middle East been able to beat that record despite having five states unlike Edo which is just a single state?

Anyway, the current bunch of Nigerian politicians are all corrupt, so yes, they were all running away from EFCC, since APC had been declared a gathering of saints and rival party members not currently enjoying immunity that comes with elective posts had been declared fair game and then hunted mercilessly as an exhibition to gullible cheering Nigerian populace, in the APC fight against corruption, they( politicians from rival parties) had all decided to cross over to the righteous side of APC to safeguard their loot and keep their image intact.
Just like how your likes cheered OBJ while he did it in favour of PDP politicians.
You mean Ken Nnamani, Nwobodo and Ekwunife too defected to APC to escape EFCC searchlight?
EFCC searchlight had always been on Kalu beginning from his exit from Abia Govt. House, and while at that he had oscillated from one party to the other.
No normal SS person cheered Obasanjo for his dubious anti-corruption war which saw him hounding Ibori, Alams and other SS figures whose real offence against him were their political ambitions against 2007. Only Igbos like you actually cheered him up because the other majority of his targets were members of the ACN which Igbos viewed as a pro-Awolowoism party and therefore welcomed any misfortune that befell them.

See Edo politicians decamping too: https://politics.naij.com/417682-osunbor-explains-why-he-joins-apc.html
Osunbor defected to APC like 18 months before Buhari’s presidency against the likes of Kalu, Chime, Nwobodo, Andy Ubah, Nnamani who dumped PDP after the party lost at the centre. That is the difference which I earlier called principled politicking. And in any case Osunbor has no EFCC issue on his neck.
https://politics.naij.com/708695-pdp-suffers-yet-another-setback-prominent-members-defect-apc-edo.html
The guy in the story here is an LGA party leader and not a nationally recognized PDP chieftain.
So far you have not been able to show a prominent Edo PDP chieftain who dumped PDP after the party lost at the centre.

Edo decamping members don't make news headlines because let's face it, who cares? The Igbo news are always more of bestsellers to the Nigerian populace looking to vilify the Igbo at the drop of a hat.
He he he he …….! After searching online and finding no prominent one you decide to take solace this way.

Envious? Dude I already have Igbo brothers in SS using Edo to scrub the ground their in terms of political clout and federal appointments in the region.
And who are they? No names? Your supposed Igboid brothers in the SS who are not comfortable with the Igbo tag?

I'm an Anambra man, go figure!
Anambra home to Onitsha the city with the world’s worst air thus the dirtiest city in the world https://www.theguardian.com › World › Cities › Pollution
I guess you’ll say the British which wrote the article are Yorubas and Edoids.

I'm not angry about Edo, I'm just pointing the facts. It's too bad they are too distasteful for you to swallow.
It is written all over you that you are Edophobic and paranoid about Edo. Your hero, Ojukwu invaded Edo and tried to annex her to Biafra but Edo extricated herself and that is why you so much hate the people. You know that to Igbos, you are good and kind provided you allow them dominate you and declare your land a no man’s land.
