berem: If not for the June 12 saga,do you think Obasanjo or any Yoruba man would have been president?Do you not also think that if MKO Abiola was an igbo man,an igbo man wouldnt have been president from 1999 to 2007? Obasanjo became a president not because he merited it but because it was an act of compensation.

Wadeoye:

What do you mean? Yoruba worked for it and we got it. Igbo always go for chop chop politics and also want to be president at the same time. You cant eat your cake and have it. Yibos thinking is always short term while we think long term. We were on the street protesting fuel subsidy removal for the benefits of all, yibos stayed indoor and some of them were even organising pro- government rallies. All these make you irrelevant in our political dynamics. Politics is not about how much money individuals can get for himself. It should always be about the people and the country. But to yibos, it is about individual interests. The reason Obi said yibos dont have leader.

Oga, i dont understand this kind of names you mentioned. Why can't we ally with men of integrity and good governance?

badmarket: sorry who among d igbos will b d president.
beta for dem to unite first.

slim fit :


Where was your own leaders when the SW leaders came out fighting for democracy ?

As if that will change our bad mind as an Igbo or as a Nigeria. Am an Igbo Man,but i tell u no matter who d president is or d tribe he comes from,unless Women are giving chance do be it d top sector if nt nothing will change. since Okonjo becomes F minister thingz are gething better with our incomes. or the Oder woman for NAFDA.

ifihearam: I doubt if the Igbos can ever ascend to the office of the presidency,its nearly impossible,all they can have is the office of the vice president.

PointB: The only thing that is permanent in politics is interest!

Igbo voting population is massive and very diverse. While it may not be enough to give a SE the presidency, it sure will fetch substantial votes across many state.

There are different approaches to winning the presidency - the direct, indirect, and combo approach. I think Ohaneze recognise these, and are applying it.

Neutrals will be agree with me that to outrightly demand the presidency will be deemed offensive, by the same people who think it is laughable to plead for it.

Assuaging the SW was the reason for Obj presidency, similar thing was done for the SS. It was also said that Yar Adua Sr death in prison was partly the reason for picking Yar Adua Jr. But this is Nigeria, a country of double standard. That is why a request to barnish the ghost of Biafra and it's attendant marginalisation by conceding the presidency to the SE is seen as laughable to some quarters, and surprising by some sons who should know better.

In anycase, 2015 is still some 2 years away, and in political era, it is a long period. Enough time for Ohaneze to access all the fact and scenerio and come up with better strategy.
There are many route to the market. I only like to remind fellow Igbos to put on their thinking cap. Ohaneze is the closest to what we have a central leadership in Nigeria, joining your traducers to cast aspersion only play into their game plan. Don't destroy your own.

berem: whats the certaintity that if am Igbo man becomes president,all will be well for the Southeast? When Obasanjo was the president for 8 years,did he do much as expected in Southwest? Even the Retardeen who is in power,his own people are already complaining about his slow pokishness in developing the South South zone.As for the resource control,i doubt if he will declare it.

Afam4eva: These SE leader really don't know how much these people are making sure that the presidency never goes to that part of the country.

kokoA: Ohaneze knows that 'anybody' can become igbo. For the right fee,ohaneze can give any customer an igbo middle name and endorse the person E.g goodluck ebele 'azikiwe' jonathan. I won't be suprise when I see ohaneze chiarman raising up the hand of Gen. Muhammed 'chukwuemeka' Buhari come 2015

CROWÉ: South west, South south, South east, North, Islam, Christianity, Fulani, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Ijaw.

There are more things dividing us than there are uniting us, we share nothing really, no goals, no hopes. The very primary objective of any Nigerian government should be to encourage the people to feel truly Nigerian, something that we do not do. Yugoslavia, the Austrian Empire, Great Britain, history has shown us that being in one nation is not enough, we need to find common ground within that nation otherwise this crap is hopeless and we best be done with it.
