Politics is a game, and in the game of politics there is no permanent enemy, no permanent friend, but permanent interest. With this mindset I believe any card that guarantees one's interest should be played without any reluctance. The present situation with respects to the central power or the presidency is something that has eluded the southeast since after the civil war in the late 60s. Now I think is the best time for the igbos to negotiate their way into the aso rock in the near future. How do you go about this? In the first place we all have to understand that nigeria is divided into the south and the north when its comes to the presidency either we like it or not. Also since the return to democracy in 1999, safe for the short time of yar'adua, the south has always been ruling. Currently an ijaw man is the president. Either he is re-elected in 2015 or loses, power is expected to shift to the north after him (what ohaneze is asking for is complete bullshit). Now the igbos have a choice either to rule in the next eight years or in the next more than 30 years. The first choice is to negotiate with the north on the next election. That is, "hey guys we will vote for you with the signed agreement when power is returning back to the south in the next 8 years, you will give it to us". Obviously with the current desperate mood the north is in now, they will agree and sign the agreement. If the ijaws like let them term you a betrayer that's their problem. No body should put his destiny in the hands of other, remember in politics its your interest first before friendship. The second choice leads to no where but perpetual cry of marginalization. If the igbos go ahead and vote the ijaw man in the coming election, either he wins or not, the north will be in power after him and rule for 8 years. The north knowing the position of the igbos towards them, will return power to their number one ally in the south the yorubas. Now after the 8 years of the yorubas which is the south (8+8=16),power will shift to the north again and that's another 8 years. Add this to the current 16. Who knows things may change before the it gets to 30 years though. If the igbos agree to the first choice then put down a mechanism now to enforce the agreement when the time comes. My advice in summary is face what is best for you and leave emotion and so called "fairness" and play politics like a game it is. |

seguun: Funny! People view but refuse to comment May be because very few can effectively debunk most of what you've written? To me, you've written so simply but mostly sensibly and effectively. BTW, I think you've reacted opposite to how I would have expected you to have responded to what I see as IGBO-SON's sarcasm of a response... Or were you being mischievous in return?   Actually, I hope this thread makes the front page at some point. P34c3 1 Like |

There is no general agreement of rotational presidency in Nigeria either among geo-political zones or between the North and South. well to cut everything short after Jonathan Igboman must occupy that sit. Power must remain in theSouth to equalize the present in-justice. |

duwdu:Yes, I equally feel most people agree to the idea. I actually wanted to be sure of his aim before my actual response. That kind of post can actually be twisted depending on my response.

chukwudi44: Are you begging us to vote buhari/fashola in 2015? Where did the OP mention this spurious thought of yours? I know it's insecurity and inferiority complex that makes people like you go way out of line to introduce stoopid conjectures into serious discussions like you! I blame the OP for daring to introduce common sense and wisdom to a tuber of yam! Tubers of yam are meant to be eaten alone not to be reasoned with or advised! Almost all Nigerians know that even if you were to follow the sensible advice of the OP, there is just NO LEADER in iboland, nobody to even be considered by other Nigerians as presidential material. I think when Nigeria gets regionalism, you will be forced to find a leader by force for your region. 3 Likes |

Until Igbo people realize, just as the OP has pointed out, that as regards the Presidency, Nigeria is divided into north and south, irrespective of the number of ethnic groups in each divide, they will continue to grope in the claim of marginalization. 1 Like |
