If there is an opportunity in the constitution for a 3rd term for a President, I would still gladly vote President Buhari. I’m very comfortable with his clear road map for infrastructure development.

Those that are not comfortable with him are thieves, lazy people that think govt should be dashing out money and ethnic cum tribal jingoist that think their people are politically short changed in appointments

Which one are you? grin

Like I rightly said, vote shekau or any ISIS backed Northern candidate in 2023, it’s your damn entitlement and business

very funny group of people, before elections they will say that Nigeria is a zoo that they are going to Biafra, during elections they will say that buhari is brainless and empty coconut head that they won't vote for him, that they would rather prefer to vote for his opponents, after the elections when buhari has won they start shouting that he has marginalised them.

interesting set of people, very very interesting.!!!!!

post=85326997:
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 after 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. We 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?

We 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.

We have learnt not to bother ourself anymore to avoid unnecessary arguements with 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..

In a Democracy, only ONE person can win an election at a time. The other contestants who lose an election can't cry of injustice.

If an Igboman wins the ticket of a major party,he can win the Presidential election.

There are Nigerians from Bachama, Nupe, Bariba, Tiv or Igala that have never been President, Vice president, Senate President, Speaker and CJN since 1960s.

There is no doubt that Buhari is a Northern supremacist.
However, let's give him some credits where he deserves it.

1) The President carried out greater infrastructural developments for the Igbos than GEJ.
For instance, Jonathan was President from May 05,2010- May 29,2015 yet he only 'commissioned' Engineering design of the 2nd Niger Bridge. Even in his native S/South, Jonathan didn't carried out great projects.

Why didn't he build Seaports in Ibaka, Akwa-Ibom, Delta or even Bayelsa? What about East-West road?
He promised to build Greenfield refineries in the Niger Delta but failed to do so.


2) Buhari NEVER said Igbo are 5%. If you are sure he did, please post the video here.

I watched the interview when he traveled to the USA just after he was elected. What he said is very unnecessary and unbecoming of a democratically elected president by saying the areas he got 97% can not in all fairness be treated like the areas he got 5%.

He NEVER mentioned any State or Tribe.





DMerciful:
Some of these projects have clauses, some financed with Chinese loans, cancelling would have been more expensive overall. Besides some of these projects were approved in the FEC. The places where he has sole authority like appointments, he has shown his dislike for Igbos even calling us 7%

Truth be told,

1) The ONLY people that are marginalized in Nigeria are the masses!

The masses are found in every State and the proportion of the poor are more in Sokoto, Jigawa, Kano, Kebbi,Yobe, Adamawa, Borno and Katsina States.

2) Where did you get this funny idea that Nigeria belong to three Major tribes and that this tribes can not can't change (the three Major tribes will be permanent)?



3) Nigeria can only become better if we build an egalitarian society where ANY citizen regardless of his tribe or religion can aspire to occupy ANY position including the Presidency.

4) If you are from Nupe, Bariba, Igala, Tiv, Zuru or Bolewa and no one in your tribe has occupied any position (from num 1-5) in Nigeria, how will you feel sir?

5) The Igbos deserve to be president but this will require an Igboman contesting for the presidential election. You can't sit down in your house and be shouting it's our turn. How do you ensure that it's your turn?

6) Lastly, things change. Polical powers also change! Prepare for the change and make maximum use of it.
