Franking:


U are the confused one. The average Igbo wants Biafra while the politicians are talking about presidency. U will be completely foolish is u term Igbos confused because of this. Hater.

IntrovertedK:
you be decieving them there hun. Who will vote Igbo as president? Surely not the Nothern people and surely not some (or most) of us from west here. I'm sure there south south brothers won't vote them self. No be Igbos again? With their mouthmaking and chest beating? So they can start telling us how Igbos went to heaven to save Nigeria? The little ones in GEJ regime were the ones that ruined his tenure. Money mongers/worshippers are not allowed to rule the most populous Africa country. They should better concentrate on their Biafra. Nothing for them in Nigeria till Christ come. Anyway, i believe they should know better.

Naza25:
Why should they be worried about that? They should be more concerned on how to actualize Biafra

dyydxx:


but why tinubu sef, I personally prefered Osinbanjo but I guess he owns the party it will be difficult too go against him. Osinbajo will probably have to wait his turn

TMemos:
The Igbos need to determine what exactly they want. They pass out contradictory messages too much.

They say they want Biafra or nothing.

In this report, they are worried that Presidency may not come their way in 2023.

They say they don't need the Presidency to develop.

They say they don't want APC, that APC will lose in 2019 and yet are worried about APC's choice for the Presidency in 2023.

Confusion!

famosh:

You're missing the point, man, as you're too emotional in your analysis!
The East is extremely irrelevant in electing anybody in Nigeria! The SS are a lot more important, so don't whine yourself!

The North is for Buhari & they'll go with whoever he chooses! If Buhari supports Tinubu in 2023, even if the PDP presents Atiku featuring Kwankwaso & Lamido, They'll go for Buhari's choice, especially when it's a Tinubu who immensely helped their man into power! So if the north votes for Buhari's candidate, who will still win Southwest, they'll just negotiate with the very reasonable SS (who actually don't care about the Igbos) & Tinubu wins!

Ijeshaooduaman:
I like the way Nigeria is going. The country will disintegrate soon.
The reality is that Ibos cannot be president. This is the truth. Nobody will vote Ibos as president. As a Yoruba, I can't vote an Ibo. Look at the way they destroyed Jonathan administration with their tribalism, nepotism, and their arrogant disrepecful attitude. People hated Jonathan because of Ibos. Nothing more!
The Ibos should just concentrate on their Biafra because they will never rule Nigeria.

fk001:


Are they not Nigerians?

They have the right to vote and to be voted for bro

famosh:


Baba, even the Southsouth (except the Igbo speaking part) won't vote an Igbo man!

Ijeshaooduaman:

The question is who will vote an Ibo? Will Yoruba vote them? Will the North even vote for them? I really doubt!

MrSly:

When did any body from Igbo land ever told you they want you people's "presidiotsy" except the money slaves among our politicians. All Igbo politicians are more or less thieves like their counterparts in other regions. Any true son of Igboland knows that our only hope and future is actualized I'm Biafra. No more no less.

Wiseandtrue:
Conduct referendum for the Ndigbo first!

If they decided to remain then you can now talk of Igbo presidency!

phase1:


You are not a good student of history, because if you were you'll know that the old Eastern region have always voted as one since 1999.
The same East you call 'irrelevant' ensured that your murdeous Awolowo never became president after the war when he contested against Shagari and Ekwueme. The records are there for your perusal except you want to deceive yourself so you can be happy enough to throw Amala into your mouth and sleep well at nite.

No yoruba man have been elected president without the North and East. Check the books and come back.
Buhari is powerhungry and northocentric, he will always support a northerner over southerner, again the records are there. His argument to justify throwing tinubu under the bus will be that there is no where in the nigerian constitution that say power may rotate between south and north and that nigerian constitution is above party constitution.

So my brother, stop wasting your time. You can't eat you cake and still have it. Tinubu can't be president, the odds are heavily stacked against him. Even your brothers here know it but just don't know how to come to terms with it.

fk001:


Sha i don't blame other Nigerians for not voting in Igbo.


Igbo's are the causers of their own problem.

Ijeshaooduaman:

Of course they are. These people destroyed Jonathan with their hate, tribalism, nepotism, disrespecful attitude. Ibos were the reason why Jonathan failed the 2015 election. Nigeria became a divided country under Jonathan - all thanks to the Ibos. But these people will tell you Buhari is the one dividing Nigeria which is a blatant lie!
Anyways, they should concetrate on Biafra. People are tired of them already. Nigeria will split sooner than we think sha

Shukuakukobambi:


How does his going back to Daura help your biafra?

Has your new gworo chewing mallam signed any agreement to that effect?

Or is a PDP presidency of a mallam the biafra you've always talked and cried about?

phase1:


Of course you are still praying to Allah for south south to hate south east and embrace your yoruba muslim skull.

Why not simply open a username and claim that you are SS that hate SE like many of fellow yoruba muslims who have been caught as 'we ss' imposters herein?

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?
I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit.
However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine.
My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'.
REWIND TO 2014.
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance.
'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.
We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.
Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.
That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did.
Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.
We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.
Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more.
Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.
Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.
It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma.
NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023?
On what grounds?
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone?
Is it an appeasement or a gift?
The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested.
Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game.
As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.
For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?
I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.
I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary abuse from nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Olatara:
Why should they conduct a referendum for the Ndigbo, the Ndigbo should ask for it.

TMemos:


It's not true to say that all Igbos want Biafra. Where is your proof for that statement?

Are the people voting in elections and participating in other Nigerian projects not Igbos?

Shukuakukobambi:


And the bold is an example of what? Programmed robot?
