True! For me I'll always support an Ngige anytime than Adanma.

I gave 10 names on the list -that's more than enough to chose one person from. You should not be trying to force others to support your preferred candidate. You should be arguing with facts, not fiction and emotion.

I may be wrong, but from his argument he seems clearly Igbo. However, he seems to be fixated on Ngige and hateful of Obi, whereas he should have an open mind to any viable candidate.

Thank you OP for your deceit, Igbo dont want to be President of a Nigger Area, but to be free and answer their real African name of Biafran....


You can keep all those rogues you have rigged in or gave publicity to for shouting One Nigeria.


Where is Moghalu now.....?

Nwanna, sorry for your sifia pain . Biafra will come if it will. It is up to all Igbos, not just IPOB, to agree on the time. For now, there is no agreement and until then, we must live like other Nigerians, politically.

astrodome:
In no particular order; just randomly listed:

1. Governor Umahi of Ebonyi State (has executive and technical experience. He is an Engineer)
2. Governor (former) Peter Obi (has executive, business and VP electoral experience)
3. Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (arguably the most accomplished (currently) economist from Africa, and the initiator of the forgiveness of Nigeria's debt by the World Bank during the Obasanjo's regime; has managerial, administrative, and foreign relations experience; multiple time minister in Nigeria)
4. Dr. Kingsley Muoghalu (former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, university professor, economist and having Presidential electoral experience; young and digitally wired unlike analogue Buhari)
5. Prof. Chukwuemeka Soludo (the most impactful Central Bank Governor ever, university professor, and serious economic guru)
6. Dr. Chris Ngige (former Gov. of Anambra; has executive experience, has administrative experience, was/is a medical officer, and actually a very serious minded person; he is in the ruling party)
7. Mr. Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra State (has executive and management experience)
8. Mr. Sullivan Chime, former Governor of Enugu State (has executive experience; left Enugu state much better than he met it; he is in the ruling party now)
9. Mr Ben Akabueze (former Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning under Tinubu and Fasola; he is in the ruling party)
10. Mrs. Obi Ezekwesili (Yes, Oby hahahaha - Nigeria needs a revolutionist who can go against the established system, just like Trump)

Honorable mention:

Mr Uchechukwu Ogah [(current Minister for State for Mines and Steel; very successful industrialist; he is in the ruling party). However, too early to call until we see how he performs during this period]

This list is limited to South East Igbos who are either currently in Nigeria or those who have had significant Nigerian experience in the last few years. Igbos outside Nigeria are excluded.

PLEASE ADD HIM TO YOUR LIST ON FIRST PAGE.


HE DESERVE IT.


IT IS NOT EASY FOR AN IGBO MAN TO GET REAPPOINTED BY BUHARI.


IF HE CAN WORK WITH BUHARI, HE CAN MANAGE THIS COUNTRY.


NOTE UNLIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI, HE DID NOT BRIBE HIS WAY INTO BUHARI GOVERNMENT BY USING STATE FUNDS TO FUND PARTY.


Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama (born February 2, 1956)

IN MY HONEST OPINION, PUTTING NIGERIA FIRST.


I WOULD SAY THE BEST CANDIDATE IS NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA.


NIGERIA NEVER HAD A FEMALE PRESIDENT BEFORE.


ALSO, SHE IS INTERNATIONALLY RENOWED AND RESPECTED.


ALL THE TRIBES AND ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS GROUP HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.


NO EXCUSES OR THREATS THAT IGBO WILL DO THIS OR DAT WITH A WOMAN LIKE HER.


THEN AGAIN, NIGERIA IS A BACKWARD COUNTRY WHERE THE MEN WANT TO DO AS THEY PLEASE AND WILL NEVER ALLOW THE WOMEN INTO ASO ROCK.

MelesZenawi:
Umahi is simply a media governor.

In circles of what is really happening, they know better than you do..

That he puts up flyover and flag off flaggables is not criteria...


For now, he is a media governor and doesn't stand any chance...

Governors that plays on the instincts of masses are simply jokes..

Of course, you must find ways to discredit him. Thank God, good number of people know, that he's capable.

He clearly is not Igbo, anyone who is would be picking the right candidate. Enemies will always pick wrong choices.

Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama (born February 2, 1956)

Onyeama has a lot of personal achievements, no doubt. But unfortunately, he is not worthy to be on my first 10. He has no electoral experience. Moreover, I cannot readily see any great things he has achieved since becoming a minister in 2015. As a Nigerian in diaspora, I would love to be able to vote in an election in Nigeria, just like an American or a Brazilian who lives outside of their countries can vote. Onyeama could not deliver on that simple task that we gave him. Nigeria's foreign image is still bad, if not worse, under Buhari. What has Onyeama done to address that as a foreign minister? Look at the old sickly man, Sylvanus Nsofor, who is the Nigerian ambassador to the US? The Nigerian embassy here is now a total dead wood. Who approved of him, certainly another old sickly man, Buhari. However, Onyeama could not advise against such a silly appointment. In my HUMBLE opinion, he is a mediocre minister. May be he can make a third 11 list.

And, why do you mention Amechi here? He is SS not SE.

Okay! But I am not sure why you think somebody like Ngige is not the right candidate. He has not been charged with any corruption that we know of, unless I am missing something. He served briefly in Anambra but I hear he made solid progress for the state during that brief period. I feel he has not done much under Buhari, likely because he is in the wrong ministry. If anyone is against him because he is APC, then as someone (I think GermanNig) noted above, Igbos alone cannot put anybody in ASO ROCK. We need to look beyond our noses

IN ALL THOSE LIST U HAVE CHOSEN, ONYEAMA IS THE MOST DETRIBALISED.

HE IS ALSO THE MOST EXPOSED.

ONYEAMA IS MANAGING BUHARI FOREIGN POLICY, IF HE WAS TO BE PRESIDENT, THE FOREIGN POLICY WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT.

IN MY OPINION, HE BELONGS IN THAT LIST.

WHO EVER BUHARI HANDS OVER TO, WILL BE ONE OF HIS OWN.

ONYEAMA IS AFFILIATED WITH BUHARI, IT IS WISE TO ADD HIM.

Anybody managing Buhari's foreign policy is a bad manager. Onyeama may be better under a different circumstance. But then he should not be working for a Buhari. Can you list one thing that he has achieved?

NDIIGBO DONT WANT TO GIVE NIGERIA A BIGGOT AS PRESIDENT, WE WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL BE NEUTRAL.

IN MY OPINION, NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA AND GEOFFREY ONYEAMA ARE MY TOP TWO.


THEY ARE BOTH INTERNATIONALIST AND NIGERIANS CAN TRUST THEM TO WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED BEST PRACTICES, WHICH IS WAT WE HAVE NEVER HAD IN THIS COUNTRY.

IT IS A PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA WE ARE LOOKING FOR NOT IGBO PRESIDENT.

THIS IS WHERE WE MAKE THE MISTAKE.

A PRESIDENT FROM OUR EXTRACTION HAS TO SERVE NIGERIA AND NOT IGBO NATION.

BASED ON THIS UNDERSTANDING, I CHOOSE MY TWO TOP CANDIDATES, AS NOTED ABOVE.

IGBO IS IGBO TO ME.


I HAVE MADE DAT CLEAR SEVERALLY HERE ON NAIRALAND.


I ALSO GIVE CONSIDERATION TO WOMEN ALOT.

AFTER BUHARI AND OSINBANJO, NIGERIA NEEDS SOMEONE CLEAN CUT WITH AN INTERNATIONAL DISPOSITION TO PROJECT OUR IMAGE.

That is why I have 10 people from different parties, different sexes and different SE states. Even Oby that most don't like but who I personally see as qualified is on my last. My take on Onyeama is from what I see from the perspective of a Nigerian living in America. He has not achieved what is dearest to our hearts, which is the ability to vote in Nigerian elections. Please note that I am from Abia State, Umuahia precisely. Yet, my next post after the original one excluded 3 Abians because I know those three are crooks.

Muoghalu is still a very viable candidate; I did not expect him to defeat a Buhari who actually did not win the election but rigged himself back in. Ben was found worthy to be appointed by one or two Yoruba governors, even when they did not have to appoint an Igbo. That goes to show he is qualified, detribalized, acceptable, and and knows Lagos politics some. There is a difference between that and Onyeam'a appointment by Buhari. Buhari is obligated by law to appoint at least one minister from each state. Onyeama was the lucky one from Enugu. Again, I repeat, in my opinion he has not done much.

astrodome:
Igbos of South East who MUST not be president

1. Orji Uzoh Kalu (former Abia governor; then PDP, now APC)
2. Rochas Okorocha (former Imo governor; APC)
3. Okezie Ikpeazu (current Abia governor; PDP)
4. Pius Anyim Pius (former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of GEJ)
5. Theodore Orji (former Abia governor; PDP)

I will support a Yoruba in 2023 if any of these is the candidate.
