As I pointed to before, SS is a petro-political entity formed to check the dominance of Igbo people in the east, these groups main source of unity is crude oil and, rightly or wrongly, a fear of Igbo domination, similar to Southern Cameroons who put a knife in their chest because of Igbophobia by joining Cameroon. They're not a cultural or real political block, this is why Igbo groups in the "South South" renounce Igboness because that block was made for 'minorities' outside of the tripod. People are criticising IPOB because they are playing the same game of placing Igbo people bait in the Nigerian political arena, there's this naive idea of 'braveness' many Igbo people have that makes them rush and make stupid decisions all in the name of doing what's just. 9 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza: I understand why you will feel this way. But you should bear similarities to how the ND agitation cost the lives of thousands of people in the SS, including women and children. Odi a village was bombed to the smithereens. Today, the sacrifices made by the region is also being enjoyed by Imo and Anambra as the 13% derivation from oil produced within their territories. You make it sound like Igbos wouldn't benefit from restructuring. Well to each his own. If you guys want to throw NK under the bus, that's your prerogative. But what you fail to realize is that taking him out will create the same vacuum that led to his emergence in the first place. He is a symptom not the disease. And it seems you're willfully or particularly incapable of discerning the root cause. I'll end here. The next 8-16 years is critical for the SE region. And if you guys fail to utilize it optimally, it'd be at least two decades before you guys get another chance. That'd be a long 2 decades. All the best. -Lord 2 Likes |

senatordave1: Don't think. Look at the facts. Anambra number of registered voters today is 2.8m. In 2015, it was a smidgen higher than half of that. Yet only about 700k voted. And don't ask me to do an indepth research of the militancy agitation. You have no idea what I know. -Lord 1 Like |

Pls all these south south namely xander85, senatordave1, cjrane2, LordAdam16 invading igbo thread should stop that. Pls we ar begging. You guys are distracting us.

pazienza: You just keep running from pillar to post, making incoherent conjectures and leaving the issue at hand. I gave a summary of political composition of the regions as at today, and sometimes used examples of the last three democratic eras to buttress my point. You can read it again. So why take us to the 60's, that's 50+ years ago. It has very little to do with our current political landscape. Sometimes I don't even know what you're going about. You've clearly not understood a thing I've said, or the point I'm trying to make, and I wouldn't go farther than this. You simply think I'm here to scathe your region, well think whatever will make you sleep well at night. PS: Clarke wasn't thrown under the bus. He was disciplined. Who is the leader of PANDEF? Why was there much fuss about his mistreatment by the police if as you say we threw him under the bus. Honestly, I did not direct my message solely at you, so I'd just ignore your retorts henceforth. I came here to drop my observation. Clearly, certain elements here have gotten my point. If you're so thick in the head to view every observation that doesn't flatter your region or specifically match your understanding of the situation as a mindless attack, be my guest. I couldn't be less bothered. -Lord 3 Likes |

Juliusmalema: Some of it is mindless chatter, some of it is reasoned contribution from a different perspective. It'd behoove you guys to select that you find useful and discard the chaff. This is not a full-frontal assault by SS elements on this thread. All of this is different takes by individuals in different political camps from one region on the NK quagmire. It'd run its course and dissipate in time. Personally I don't have all day to spend here. Nonetheless, there is no iota of doubt that the region will overwhelmingly vote for the Atiku/Obi ticket. I hope Obi extends his personal round of visits (without Atiku) to the SS after he finishes his current run in the SE; if anything but to build his personal political rapport in the region for the future. He shouldn't just stop in Otueke. -Lord 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: . by Nobody: 7:17am On Oct 22, 2018 |
Pazienza and co, I think what lordadam16 is driving at is that we want to do away with nnamdi kanu, but we should realize that he wouldn't have come into the political scene, had SE leaders been doing their job rightly and addressed the issues of Igbo marginalization with serious hands instead of stupidly shouting "we are MARGINALIZED and "it's turn of Igbo presidency " up and down. Truly if the likes of anyim and co lobbied and got the Niger bridge, Enugu airport firmly fixed and our federal roads in good condition since his Senate presidency and Sgf position, a large number of Igbos won't be giving up on Nigeria and be resorting to biafra as a means of getting these infrastructure since we are being MARGINALIZED and killed. Simple, Nk arose because of real leadership deficit in SE. And until a genuine leader arises in SE who deeply cares and fights like a dog for the share of SE in national foray, and get for the region, what belongs to it from Abuja,then PEOPLE LIKE NK WILL HOLD SWAY AND MORE LIKE HIM WILL EVEN COME. SOME TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND OTHERS TO MAKE NAME FOR THEMSELVES AND BECOME KNOWN. IDIOTS. MY POINT IS AT THIS POINT MY EYES HAVE OPENED AND I DON'T THINK IGBO NEED NK. MAYBE IF HE KEEPS MAKING HIS NOISE AND OTHER CULTURAL GROUPS KEY IN. NIGERIA WILL BE FORCED TO RESTRUCTURE THE COUNTRY COS OF TOO MUCH PRESSURE AND THAT IS THE ONLY USE NK SERVES NOW. MEANS TO RESTRUCTURE THE COUNTRY BUT SADLY HE WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE VOTERS APATHY IN SE IN 2019 AND THAT IS WHAT GETS ME UPSET. IGBO POLITICAL LEADERS ARE FOOLISH. NONE IS SMART ENOUGH TO UTILIZE THE LEADERSHIP VACUUM AND BECOME IGBO LEADER LIKE ZIK WAS. I FOR ONE DON'T THINK EKWEREMMADU IS THAT ACTIVE AND A GO GETTER. YOU CAN'T COMPARE HIM WITH BUHARI THE NORTHERN LEADER AND THE CLOUT OF TINUBU THE SW LEADER 3 Likes 1 Share |

Funnicator: Thank you very much. In fact the more important point is that you guys have to do something about it now before you get into Aso Rock proper, so that the potential 8-16 years in the corridors of powers will not be wasted again... Ideally, Ohaeneze would be perfect for this, but I don't know what's up with them. They seem to be very apt at rallying together to vote as a bloc, which frankly is a path of least resistance. But not particularly effective in ensuring that the dividends actually impacts the region structurally and economically; which is a much harder but totally doable task. Got a lil more to say, but that should be enough. -Lord |

melodyogonna:The are nothing but political merchants, let them keep making noise on social media, by 2019 we will know who is on ground. These foolish igbos are acting like being VP will solve our problems as if we’ve never had Igbo VP’s. Not a big fan of Nnamdi Kanu but abusing him because of VP ticket is foolish. What if PDP, they will still turn to Kanu to speak for them. Kanu caused pdp to even think of picking an Igbo VP. The agitation for restructuring died as soon as Kanu disappeared. In 2023 it will be the turn of the south to produce president and Kanu may prove useful in achieving that for igbos because Yorubas are already plotting to hijack that slot. The truth is both the north and SW are afraid of Nnamdi Kanu and whenever he coughs they panick 3 Likes |

What some are getting at in terms of participating in politics merely to fill key positions with 'Igbo people' is actually not the way forward that many people here a relooking toward, if IPOB has done one good thing, it's exposing the power of the Igbo populace. Step outside of Nigerian communities for a second, a Nigerian cannot name a single Chinese politician in any African country, yet we known Chinese immigrants have a powerful presence in every country, obviously backed by a budding superpower no less, so also is there a presence of people of Jewish descent in key industries in the US, and a few other examples like Indians in Kenya. The mode would be to escape this one-man fixes all idea that hasn't worked for the common man in all other regions, and to instead utilise population, like IPOB has done, in political situations when trying to achieve a particular objective, and to practice group economics wherein there is a sphere of influence based on the political and economic unity of the people. Nobody should be resting their groups destiny on 8-16 year "windows of opportunity," it's a loser game, if the Igbo region wants a Niger Bridge, use the Igbo body to get that, and this is the natural state of Igbo politics and Igbo people are very good at coming together on an issues that has been well articulated to them as a whole. Nnamdi Kanu rose up because of Igbo people banking on GEJ. It's enough of the warrant chiefs, all of these politicians are compromised and it's better that they are used and tossed by the populace than for the entire destiny of the people be invested in these individuals. 5 Likes 1 Share |

ezeagu: You are too wise to engage some of these people on here. Igbos can achieve everything we want even inside Nigeria if we have the will and unity. The 2nd Niger bridge could have been easily built if we used our town unions scattered all over the world to raise the tiny funds. It is applicable to rail lines linking all Southeast State capitals with Port-Harcourt and Asaba as spurs as well as multilane ring road cutting across Igbo heartland. What Igbos need is unity in purpose more than unity in secession or politics. 3 Likes 1 Share |
