Are you being deprive of your rights as citizens of Nigeria by the APC govt?
What Ngige is talking about, Igbo politicians know it.

Okoyiboz3:




You disgraced moderator with the scruples of an alley cat, On 27th of August 2011, you made the comment below. I wonder how you manage to sleep at night with your atrocious history.




Please, go through this thread below. Igbo posters were calling Yoruba leaders names because they met GEJ in a civilised manner to complain about deliberate sack of yorubas and replacing them with other ethnicities.

The problem of Igbos is that they cannot survive without the Federal Government. Their support for GEJ over Buhari was a political miscalculation due to political illiteracy. Over the years, they have supported other people even to the detriment of Igbo candidates. That is why Ojukwu couldn't get 3M votes from Igbos when he contested Nigeria's presidency.

Jabioro:
When it comes to politics you have to trend it wisely, the last presidential election to be candid the igbos made and commit blunders, I expected them to secured a senator for SP position..

Edu3Again:
We have seen how they treated Tinubu and Osinbajo.
Did they not invest in dullard?

Elose11:
You see this slave! So Buhari has become a business that who does not invest in will not benefit. wonders shall never end. Buhari was elected to manage our commonwealth. We have already created the wealth he is to manage. The south east who are Buhari's 5℅ are part owners of the nation's wealth. It is not fair that they are denied the benefits therefrom because they did not vote for the manager.
Slave Ngige go and hid your head in shame! Surely, you are not a true Igbo man.

Then pack your bag and move to your village.

MMMscam:


Everybody else will take your agitations for Biafra seriously when you scavenging parasitic hypocrites migrate back to the south east. We don't want igbos again in the north and south west. You parasites have done enough damage. If igbos truly want Biafra, then all the Igbos should go back to the south east and we will release and unchain your tribe from being our national slaves and give you freedom. Until your tribe does that, your agitations are nothing more than a schizophrenic floccinaucinihilipilificated dance of a mad man at a market square, and you will remain 3rd-class citizens as long as "One Nigeria" exists. In fact, 4th-class citizens because even the SS people carry more weight now than igbos.

DrGoodman:
We are not complaining, we just want our own country. Two different things.

tuniski:

They committed no single blunder in their political choice. Are u saying had GEJ won, he should marginalize the north that gave him almost 0% votes,cos the meagre votes from the north are largely from resident non northerners?
Ngige is talking trash like the tyrant he serves!

chngebeginwthme:




LOL i don't care as far they continue being marginalized.. hahah..

ayindejimmy:



Haha!
This is exactly where I want you to arrive at Mr Americana
So, in line with your logic, can you now tell us in what manner this Buhari government's policies are lopsided against the East?
And which of his policies has ethnic or religious colouration?

I should show you even in the face of overwhelming evidence?
I hope you remain blind to it.

Benekruku:


2019 is settled already, we will votes across religious an ethnic lines so 2015 will repeat itself. Same for 2023!

The ethno religious car GEJ played in the last election will go a long way in Nigerian politics. It will easier for Arsenal to win the premier league than for an Eastern or Southerner to get close to power.


The North-Western alliance is informidable.

We will see about that.
Unless History does not replay itself given the unchanging characters of all the players.
Though i am still trying to see how you and your tinubu intend to keep the rest of the south out from federal politics even after the buhari administration is over.
You are high on cheap weed.

vantage001:
Igbos shouldn't expect anything because They didn't invest in buhari election.
Donald trump shouldn't work for black americans because they didn't vote for him.
We know which of those two scenarios is likely to happen and which of those two nations is the failed state. Difference between first and third world leadership.

Btw, I hope Ngige knows we still will not support him and his government in 2019.

All this ur cry abt hw Tinubu and Osinbajo are bin treated only exist in ur warped mind...the last time I checked, osinbajo is still the acting president...

Buhari’s letter calling Osinbajo Coordinator causes uproar in Senate
President Muhammadu Buhari’s letter to the National Assembly informing the Parliament of his medical vacation in London on Tuesday caused a brief drama.

This is coming about forty eight hours after the President traveled to the United Kingdom (UK) ‎to see his doctors.

Trouble started when Senator Mao Ohuabunwa (PDP, Abia), raised a point of order to draw the attention of the Senate to what he described as deficiencies in the letter addressed by President Buhari.

He said President Buhari was ambiguous in his letter, by claiming that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will coordinate the activities of the country in his absence, without stating a time frame.

The senator argued that the letter should be returned to the presidency, in order to reflect what he said were appropriate requirements captured in Section 145 of the 1999 constitution (as amended).

Quoting Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) Senator Ohuabunwa said: “Whenever the president transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the house of representatives, a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or is otherwise that he is unable to discharge the functions of his office until he transmits to them the written declaration to the contrary, such function shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

“Mr President, I do not think in our constitution we have anything like coordinating President or coordinating Vice President. It is either you are the Vice President or you are the Acting President and any letter should be unambiguous and very clear.

“So, I am saying that this letter really does not convey anything because coordinating has no space or any place in our constitution. We have been having letters like this. But we need to know who to deal with as a Senate.

“This is the highest legislative body of any country and if you are sending us a letter, it should be direct and unambiguous. So, I am saying that this letter, for me, is not right and should be sent back.”

He was immediately countered by the Senate Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe), who said there was nothing wrong with the letter.

Lawan called on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to rule Ohuabunwa out of order, a request quickly obliged.

He said:‎ “Mr President, let me say that the point of order raised by my colleague and the explanation that subsequently followed should not have been and my responses are simple.

“I still rely on the first paragraph of that letter which Mr President wrote to this Senate and read by the President of the Senate. I will read section 145 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

“Any other word in this letter or indeed anywhere else is irrelevant. I therefore feel that Mr President has done what the constitution requires him to do and I urge this Senate not to go ahead to discuss this because its not an issue. We have the budget and so many other serious issues for us to discuss and Nigerians are waiting.”

Saraki, in his ruling, said President Buhari acted within the confines of the law.

Saraki said:‎ “I think it is a very clear issue and what should be guided by is the constitution and I think that it is clear. The letter has referred to the constitution and there is no ambiguity in the constitution. So, I do not think there’s any issue there. Let me first rule you out of order Senator Mao.‎”

Saraki, had at about 11.5am formally read the letter of President Muhammadu Buhari, wherein the former informed the parliament of his long medical vacation to the United Kingdom (UK).

Saraki, while reading the letter, told his colleagues that the Vice President , Professor Osinbajo will perform the functions of the President while he is away.

The letter reads: “In compliance with section 145 (1) of the 1999 constitution as amended, I wish to inform the Distinguished Senate that I will be away for a scheduled medical followup with my doctors in London. The length of my stay will be determined by the doctor’s advice.

“While I am away, the Vice President will coordinate the activities of the government. Please accept the Distinguished Senate President the assurances of my highest consideration.”

This is the third time President Buhari has transferred power to Professor Osinbajo since his inauguration in May 2015.

The first time was on February 5, 2016, when the President embarked on a five-day vacation.

The second was in June 2016 when Buhari traveled to the UK for treatment of what the Presidency described as an ear infection.

The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, has asked the South-east to stop complaining of marginalisation by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

He lamented that all his efforts to persuade the Igbo to wisely invest in Buhari’s presidential bid in 2015 failed because of lack of co-operation by many South-east leaders, who threw their weigh behind former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“This is not a question I should answer because I’m a politician. But before these things happened, before the government of Jonathan failed, I went to all the Igbo fora to tell them that the Jonathan government will fall”, he told Thisday.

“I went to our Ohanaeze Ndi-Igbo in Enugu twice. They could not even reply to a letter written by Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, seeking for a meeting with them”, he added.

Ngige, revealed how he went to Lagos and convened an Igbo stakeholders forum in William Nwodo’s house in Ikoyi, Lagos in 2014, where he analysed the voting pattern in Nigeria and told them that even if they did not want to support Buhari, they should give him 25 per cent of their votes.

“They refused to listen to me, and to make matter worse, there was no voting in most of the areas in the South-east; they just allocated 5 per cent to APC.

“It was that bad, it is too late to cry when the head is off. Politics is business in a way,tyou invest in business and you reap profit.

“Yes, that is what it is. But all I want to tell you is that we played bad politics; we made a bad investment because they invested in the Jonathan presidency. They invested in Jonathan more than the South-south, where he hails from.

“I am not saying that is enough to marginalise them or not allow them come in but we are there. I will continue to speak for them and when there is anything to be distributed, we will make sure that the South-east gets its own portion. But they will not get excess portion.

Igbos should stop complaining, they didn’t invest in Buhari’s campaign – Ngige

“Even in a family where the head of the family goes to the farm to harvest his yams those who accompany the farmer to the farm get more share.

“When they bring back the yams some of them will be damaged, and the pieces are put out in one section. Then the whole yams are put into the barn and some will be sent to the market for sale. And some will be sent to the family centrally for distribution among the family units.

“Those ones that are in pieces, the extras, will be shared among those that went to the farm. We did not benefit from the extras with people who went to the farm. We didn’t go to the farm in the south-east”, he added.

On what the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be campaigning on ahead 2019, Ngige stated: “Oh my God, so you are in the group of those who are pessimistic, who have refused to see the wonders of this government?

“Well, I’m from the South-east, so when we get there we will show them that first and foremost we have fought corruption to a standstill and that people can no longer steal at will, much less keeping such monies at home.

“The movement was from the bank to the house, but now that homes have been raided, maybe they will go to the farm to keep them. But people cannot steal money because there is no hiding place anymore.

“They cannot steal primitively like it was done before. The poor people of Nigerian are happy about this,” he said.

The APC chieftain said he has no regret for his role in helping to bring Buhari to power, saying if the opportunity presents itself again he will do exactly the same thing.

“If not for this government, the government of Muhammadu Buhari, government of change, Nigeria would have been worse than Venezuela.

Benekruku:



It's the truth! What ever game plan that will play will still be withing the North-Western alliance. The East has been sent to permanent hibernation which will hold past 2040.

It's the bitter truth if you good with political arithmetic.

Alariwo2:
Alas.. one reasonable one

You can't reap where you didn't sow.. It's simple law of nature.
And not just Buhari, even me as a human won't regard them with their vote pattern.

Igbos are just pained that they can't hijack PMB's govt. like they did with the useless ineffectual buffoon. Quote me anywhere.
I said it long ago so I'm not surprised. It's their way
