frankyychiji: I don't make the rules. I am just a pragmatist who accepts reality always instead of taking flights of fantasy that will surely lead to disappointment. You want me to say we are close to seeing an Adeshina, Noi or Ezekwesili as President? I can say that but I would only be lying to you if I did. To becomes President of Nigeria your journey must begin with gaining the support of genuinely powerful and influential political elite and powerbrokers. Buhari never had those people on his side and never won even after 3 attempts. The minute Tinubu etal swung behind Buhari, and provided him the well-supported APC platform, we saw Buhari clear all SW States in 2015, bar Ekiti under Fayose, whereas he did not even win a single SW State only 4 years earlier in 2011. As the modern saying goes, "it is what it is". Anyone who accepts that will already know what is coming. 8 Likes 1 Share |

kingzizzy: Indeed. A whole lot of things must come together to make a candidate the choice of the most powerful and influential political powerbrokers and elite in Nigeria. For example, an electoral Mr.Big and powerbroker in NE Nigeria may influence/induce Party delegates from his region to go and vote a certain candidate because that man will best protect his business and political interest and not because said candidate is best for Nigeria's interest. Can Osinbajo duck, dive and thrive at that level to gain the APC ticket? A yes or no is often the simple answer. 2 Likes |

dheilaw1: It shows you how patently unreasonable, covetous and anarchic Igbos are. They don't believe in building anything and always look for short term gains. They fight everyone to a standstill 23 hours and 59 minutes out of 24 hours to then come at the last minutes with threats and blackmail merely because the biggest usurpers in Nigeria want to benefit where they have not sown. It is only little kids not alive when APC was born, to witness how Igbos hounded and rejected the Party tribalistically and wickedly, who can argue Igbos deserve anything from the APC. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

dheilaw1: Let him continue wallowing in self-deceit. No Igbo can gain the trust of the political elite to emerge candidate of either APC or PDP for the 2023 race. This is because any Party that fields an Igbo is bound to lose disgracefully as others merely have to present non-Igbos to win very easily. Nigerian political leaders and powerbrokers are not suicidal. They are self-serving and will go to their graves that way. Even those who publicly pay lip service to "Igbos deserve it" will not vote Igbos privately because of what they stand to lose doing so. Igbos are not in contention for 2023. That is the truth. Most Nigerians now accept Igbos are vainglorious and ego-driven. They exploit this weakness of Igbos always. The elite know who they want. Every Nairalander should ask why it is Tinubu everyone is talking of, trying to blacken and doing their best to demarket as if he is the only one running. When there is a desperate effort to discredit a particular candidate then you know it is because Nigerian political elite are most scared of that particular candidate emergence as President. We saw this in 2014 when it was obvious Buhari was likely to be APC candidate. From Raymond Dokpesi AIT to Fayose publications in Nigerians newspapers, nothing they did not do to demonize buhari. All to no avail. 8 Likes 1 Share |

First your topic "flag bearer" Is the wrong word to use. U dont call contestants flag bearers. Whence, Fayemi will rather vie for a VP slot(he is a weak politician who doesn't know he is weak) Lawan believes in Tinubu. Osinbajo will not contest if Tinubu springs out. It is either Tinubu or Osinbajo. Cant trust El Rufai not to breach his recent public statement that presidency goes to the South inb2023, if Tinubu will to contest. So the assumed contestants will be Tinubu/Osinbajo,. Orji Uzo Kalu, Rotimi Amaechi and perhaps El Rufai 2 Likes |

spy24: You're talking nonsense. Let Igbos go and get the PDP ticket. APC owe them nothing and Igbos themselves saw to this by declaring they did not need the APC and will never need the Party. Igbos never heed the warning of not burning bridges. The APC Party ticket is for a Southerner and not for SE, SW or SS. Let all those interested contest. Yorubas are sure of themselves and know they deserve the ticket for all they put into the APC. Igbos should contest for the APC ticket valiantly as others are prepared to do and stop trying to reap where they have not sown, and even did their best to destroy, with blackmail. If your IPOBian brain prevents you understanding this then that is your own problem. 7 Likes 1 Share |

spy24: Igbos are the bitter and hateful ones with the Yorubas the favourite recipient for their hate and toxicity. Just ask Kanu and his IPOBian lunatic followers. It will not be long before modern Yorubas, less tolerant than their parents, return the unwanted hate of Igbos in kind even as we had been nothing less than tolerant and welcoming of Igbos always. Simple as that. No hate at all. You want to target and attack me all the time then understand if I don't bring you roses and cookies in return. Even look at 2023 and the ceaseless and nauseatingly hateful attack against Tinubu by Igbos alone 24/7 as if the man ruined the States and destiny of every living Igbo. Is the man the only candidate or is he worse than those Igbos praise and follow like Atiku, Kalu and even the scammer Kanu? Yorubas will thrive in this new and highly tribalistic Nigeria if we begin to acknowledge who our enemies are and begin treating them accordingly. You're a typical and unreasonable IPOBian anyway so I dont expect you to see anything wrong in how Igbos go around hating, insulting and fighting everyone only to expect support, cooperation and tolerance in return. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

spy24: Most young and achieving Yorubas these days don't care if SE and SS folks like or hate us. What we want and worked for, which is the 2023 Presidency, is our concern. The Igbos have never refrained from their clannish tendency of trying to protect their own, however terrible , while attempting to destroy and discredit others. No one is buying their crap anymore. Let them meet the Yorubas at the APC Primaries because we are not stepping aside for anyone. All these cheap blackmail about "you peoples political greed" wont work. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
