Election they say is a game of numbers. Alliances are needed to win any election in Nigeria. It is nobody's birthright to be voted any person or group. SW,NW,NC,NE, decided to vote for Buhari while SE and SS devided to vote for Jonathan, all these based on personal convictions.
While everybody seemed to have moved on, the Igbos are still angry with everybody that decided not to vote for Jonathan. Can somebody explain why?

Let me explain this way. Ghana is one of the largest countries in West Africa, in terms of population, with 28 million people and recently had a new president. The Igbos are a tribe of over 40 million people. Now as an Igbo man, I am wondering why I have to go through a Yoruba or Hausa man before I elect my leader? Because we are 'one Nigeria'? Who made us one? Lord Lugard the British thief? I think the loss of GEJ was a stark reminder that Igbo sovereignty is being stolen in the name of Nigeria. How can people still be dictating to a tribe of over 40 million people who their president will be? As an Igbo man I am angry, but not because GEJ lost, but because I know that should not be in the same country with Yorubas and Hausas still dragging who will be president

Even the same Ghana is made up of separate tribes e.g Ashanti and they also must make alliances with others to elect their President.

The truth is that the much touted and counter-productive republican nature of Ibos generally makes it hard for them to stoop to conquer and make concessions, which is why you think it's a death sentence to 'go through a Hausa or Yoruba man' to elect a President; something the other over 250 tribes do easily without feeling inferior. The Ibo politics of hate doesn't help either.

jarkbauer:

Yet they want to conquer all other tribes in Niger Delta to for Biafra. Nothing wrong for an Ibibio or Ijaw or Ogoni to go through Igboman to become president of Biafra?

kuuljay:
does your comment mean the ibibios ijaws itsekiris should not think of joining your biafra? cos they will never be president of Biafra as the minority tribes? shallow thinking

QuotaSystem:
1. Their political infancy and myopia was exposed to the people they like to imagine they are superior to once again

2. The young destitute almajiri they insult have rendered them and their entire political class irrelevant, immaterial and expendable in Nigerian politics.

3. It exposed their hateful and bigoted nature when it comes to politics which has now made other tribes detest them, and hampers their chances of a much needed alliance which could make an Ibo President possible. Now that dream is all but completely destroyed.

4. The Yoruba again have been proven to be the most political sophisticated in the south once again through their alliance with the North which has blessed them with a VP, Speaker, Majority Leader, FIRS Chairman, Service Chief, Presidential spokesman etc. among many other political benefits like belonging to the ruling party which could favour them with regards to development....while the Ibos have nothing...

It is silly to expect you must have a country with just one ethnic identity before you can happily elect a President.

This also exposes the Biafran agenda for SS minorities if they agree to join them, because if you do not want to go through a Yoruba or Hausa man to become President, why don't you mind going through an Efik or Ijaw man? Because you would have dominated them?

Why do you also think an Ijaw man would want to go through an Ibo man to elect his President if you don't want the same for yourself?[/b]

truefact:

You are simply dumb a.s.s, yorubas has nothing different now from what they have been having since 1967...yet they are not best off to igbos...

While igbos who have been having nothing as you said since 1967 are still not worst off to the yorubas. ..

It is rather a shame that you with all your BEST OFF are still in equal status with those who have never had anything. ..this really speak loud about your diabolical suffercation and fetish progression ...yorubas are dunce

Can imagine if igbos has been BEST OFF since 1967? You and your likes are capital dunce

Best off indeed yet you're all over Lagos and Nigeria as a whole, you can only fool yourself, I served in the East and I know what it looks like compared to other regions. By the way I'm not Yoruba, just stating the obvious.

Now stop derailing and tell us why you're still bitter after Jonathan's defeat.

This thread is about Igbos and the presidential elections and I answered in that context. This is not a Biafran thread

jarkbauer:

Nigeria is not the only multiple ethnic country. Almost all countries in sub Saharan Africa are. Congo has over 500 Ethnic groups. Even America is a multi cultural society. Obama won last election by wooing blacks and Hispanics. So my dear learn how to form alliances.
By the way if I may ask, if you dont need to be in same country with Yorubas and Hausas why do you need their money?
Igbos are scattered all over Nigeria doing one business or the other in Hausa and Yoruba lands collecting their Naira.why?
