They should start getting used to the idea rest of Nigeria is NEVER voting for Ibo, this is a democracy. Unless both parties field ibo candidates, which is never going to happen because APC is not so stupid as to field an ibo candidate even if by some miracle PDP fields an Ibo candidate. APC knows all the ibo votes will still go to PDP so why would APC risk losing SW and Northern votes for the sake of SE that will never vote for them? So they can continue crying marginalisation or Biafra all they want. They are the architects of their predicament.

Abagworo:


Officers mostly from South-south were responsible for the coup and killings with few Southeasterners and Southwesterners. The only reason it was called Igbo coup is because majority were Igbo speaking from South-south whom today you are quick to deny their Igbo roots. I wouldn't have quoted you if you didn't mention Southeast.

Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance.

Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of nigeria;

Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*

Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES in nigeria TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in nigeria. in their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

Anything less than Igbo or South-south Presidency in 2023 will bring Nigeria to an end. This wise elder stateman knows.

[s]My friend please STFU and listen to some sense. This thing is not about gra-gra, chest-beating, insulting other tribes impotent declarations or empty threats from a position of weakness. if it were Nigeria would have had a SE president or we would have seen a republic of Biafra by now.

The 1st thing you people have to understand is your reality

1. you dont have the constitutional means to secede, that was taken away by your very own Ironsi when he introduced decree 34 and removed referendum from our constitution.
2. You dont have the military might to execute a secession as the Biafran war should remind you.
3.You dont have the numbers to win a national election without an alliance with the north or the North/SW
4. You dont have the trust of the rest of these regions based on your actions since independence firstly the North as a result of the 1966 coup and now the SW from your actions since 2015.
5. You dont have the support of the international community.
6. Most of the things you are fighting for now, you had in 1966 but you were not satisfied...regional autonomy,resource autonomy etc. So you should really ask yourselves...what is the Ibo man's problem? You need to understand you are checkmated, you are the ones who paited yourselves into a corner and that a man in a weak position does not make threats.
7. You need to learn strategic thinking because every step the ibo man has taken since independence has left them in a worse position than before that action.

You say you want to be president, you have to rebuild bridges and trust, so people will vote for you...that is a long way off because it is easy to destroy than to rebuild. If you want to leave you have to find a constitutional means or a military means....good luck with that! Making Noise on Nairaland does not change your reality.

threatening that the world will burn down is just hot air. there will be no ibo president and nothing will happen but more noise because you do not have the means to leave....it's not even in your interests if truth be told. You need Nigeria more than any other region in the country....sorry to burst your bubble but your livelyhoods are dependent on the rest of Nigeria more than any other region. When you recognise you cant do it on your own, the question you the need to ask yourselves is this......Why would the rest of Nigeria vote for an ibo man and then ask why wouldn't they? if an SW man for example wants votes from the SE there is no point going to Enugu saying "vote for me i will build roads". If they dont trust me, they dont care if I really intend to build roads. You need to know what issues they have and address it to stand any chance.


SE presidency will never happen until you change your ways, if you do, maybe in 20 years there will be an Ibo president. In the interim, SS is very possible in fact I will be very thrilled with Amaechi as president[/s]..

and that is why the presidency of Nigeria will continue to elude you. You always hide from your truth.

Legacy001:
your write up is filled wit hate

LaboPolitics:


Go back and read..

You are vultures, who hope to always profit from the misfortunes of others.
You will not profit from such in 2023.

You've done your turn as yorubas, if any fields a yoruba, the other major party will field a Northerner with backing from the East.
Your epistles won't save you, your clamour for a SW vs SE situation won't also happen, you will not be allowed to use the instrument of incumbency to smuggle yourself into presidency.

yoruba won't be president in 2023. Go and start licking your wounds.

AMvanquish:
If the so called leaders were just and fair, and treated everyone equally to The best of their abilities no one would be talking of being marginalized. But that's a story for another day.

Shattuck:
true justice, fairness and accountability is all this nation needs, you can talk about regionalism if any state in Nigeria or region is fully developed,the solution to Nigeria's problem does not lie with any region or religion it is our collective failure to stand up against corruption.

BASTARD! He should STFU! These are the mofos that wrecked this nation.

Btw... Y'all should go out there and march with Sowore.

REVOLUTION now or never!
