We lost out in the power sharing equation because some myopic politicians sacrificed our place in Jonathan's loss. Even the Ijaw would never sacrifice their share for the sake of Igbos and that mistake has made us politically powerless. IPOB then came and alienated us further from the rest of the country.

It can be corrected in years to come but Hausa/Yoruba alliance is unbeatable for now. We can only be considered for the sake of equity and not because we are needed.

We Igbos don't count in politics and not minorities in terms of population
SW and SS cannot win election against SE and north, north and SS cannot win election against SE and SW so SE and SS cannot win an election

For population maybe u havnt been to the north before, if u have gone there u will notice two things
1. census was exaggerated as most women were not counted, they just came up with values to oppress other regions
2.millions of igbos in the north were counted as northerners.
so next time u want to make a comment do that with caution, u dont just come out with empty brains to say Igbos are minorities

The north is majority Muslims, and you know that Muslims marry four wives, while south east is majority Christians with one or no wife. when you compare the the two regions base on their way of lives you know what the outcome will be.


Your point about that census is baseless.

mabea:
Ngeneukwenu is from ebonyi state.

I quote you wrong with credible evidence.

GrandFinale2017:
Of course we all know that the igbos are minorities.. The 2015 presidential elections buttresses the Hausas/Fulanis and the Yorubas as the Majority in this country that without their support then you're no way to go.
Though I'm a proud igbo man from AroChukwu in Abia state but let us tell ourselves the truth that we igbos need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs us

No, all you, Igbos need is to get your acts together. You are too Igbo centric yet the most disunited people in the country. You are too loud and less strategic among the major tribes. You rejoice when Mddle belters or Yorubas are attacked by fulani herdsmen. Yorubas and Middle belters are the friends you need but you choose to rejoice at anything that hurts them. It pains some of us who naturally should choose the Igbos over the jihadists Hausa-Fulanis.

toolovely:


and those states quoted, you forgot there Igbos who voted for APC too?
you know very well that Kano election was over rigged and thats why the returning officer and his entire family...........

Kano rigging no smell Akwa Ibom for 2015

eph12:

Can anybody explain why this fear exists? Igbos contribute nothing the least of all major ethnic groups, have properties in billions outside their region, so they should be the ones scared of breaking out and not the Hausas and Yorubas

Okorocha made a wrong assertion!
If Igbos are truly not contributing anything in Nigeria then why not let them go? Let them be!

To me out of all the tribes we have in Nigeria, in all honesty, I have never seen any of us demonstrate the spirit of one Nigeria like the Igbos

We are all saying it. No other tribe believe in one Nigeria, this explains why they are sceptical in building their businesses outside their home.

So I repeat if after their businesses, investment, they are willing to let go and start again, why force them to stay with Nigeria?

If there is equality, we all will not be agitating of secession!

Okorocha needs FG at his side because he is sitting on his people's wealth hence his reasoning but you might escape people's judgement not God's.

You can imagine in a country that belongs to we all, it's only Igbos who have not presided over this country, where is the justice in that? And he Okorocha is still proud to use it as an example

As he admitted if the northerners have ruled the more then why are they the one shouting marginalization Why is Nigeria still backward Who has the largest share of the stolen funds meant for us all

zionmde:

shut ignorantum, igbos have equal population with hausas and yorubas, the entire igbos in SE is just about 60% of Igbo population.
Igbo+yoruba can win election
igbo+ hausa can win election
hausa.+ yoruba can win election
so shut up if u know nothing

But you can't win by badmouthing other tribes that's the problem.

Okoro's political ambition is based on fulani's sentiment,look @his hate speech

ezegenigbonine:
ROCHAS OKOROHAUSA we all knw that u were an Hausa man that mistakenly found himself as an Igbo.please keep ur politics we don't need it OK. Pharaoh let my people go or you face the wrath of God as in the bible.

You guys are funny aswear, you guys are nonentities....and please where is kanu.....please we need to hear him speak

OKOROAWUSA!!!..very soon you will also sell your own wife and children because of power.

Oya tell dem.......Common sense tho

sureheaven:
He said it all, that's why igbos haven't bn able to produce any president. Instead of them to sit down and strategies and cooperate with other tribe, one sponsored fool by those who lost power in 2015 is adding more to their problem. Agitating for impossibility.

you that have produced president how far with your people? Are you better off than an average igbo person? Our middle class is the highest in nigeria and our poverty rate is the lowest. Keep your presidency. Igbos have done better than all of you without being president.

GrandFinale2017:
u and ur tribe that are educated why are the uneducated Fulanis ruling over u and ur so called educated tribe hasn't produced a president since the time of Aguiyi.
Educated my foot

But we all knw that Hausa's doesn't go to school. Imagine my friend serving in the north says that the school that they were posted have one pupil in ss3, then 3 pupil in ss2. They rule by population not by education. That's why they don't want the Igbo's to go, imagine (in finance losing okonjo iweala, soludo, ezekwesili etc), (in football losing Mikel, iwobi, iheanacho, onazi,echiejile, etc), ( losing Igbo businesses etc), (losing chimamanda adichie, chiwetalu Ejiofor, Chika obi) ( loosing all the nollywood actors n actress) etc (loosing all the oil blocks) (loosing all the corpers that help as doctors, nurses, teachers from the east) is it possible.

GrandFinale2017:
ok dummy let's go by Regions..
The North makes up 19 states (middlebelt inclusive).
The South west makes up 6 states.
The South South has 6 states.
While the South East has just 5 landlocked states.
All the states of SE combined with all the states of SS and Ekiti but still couldn't give GEJ a returning seat.
We Igbos don't count in politics, we are only good in commerce and trade. Whenever discussions on politics arises i think we igbos should keep quiet cos we are minorities

Is not the issue of minority but the issue of interest during Registration exercise if Igbos should shun business at least for a moment and register en mass and also know that their vote is their power then the tide will turn....Again stop telling us that Middle belt is Hausa totally wrong if South can have meaningful political equation with the middle belt they can win the Core north ok, Middle belt has 6 states they don't share same ideologies and they have realize that of recent they are strategically located to play the games for any other major ethnic group...Igbos need to tone up their political ideologies according to Okorocha...i give it to him on that one.

mcbreeze:
The most foolish governor in the history of Ndi Igbo.
I hate this man with passion. Constantly selling your people to the Northerner.
It will be alright one day. He and his family must account for this now or later.

It is normal now 98% of Igbo are born and brought up with hate and with hate shall most of you perish as well. You are saying what every Nigeria know, well done.

there is a vicious attack on fact based discussion these days on Nigerian fora... we deliberately deceive ourselves just to feed our ego and sentiments.

take it or leave it, the North only need one of SW/SS/SE to win elections. It would be difficult for SS and SE and SW to combine and win the north in an election, except with near total mobilization of voters. the. north knows this and that's why recently they launched house to house child registration. they are planning ahead. Another advantage they have is being contiguous with lesser developed Islamic countries, majority of whose population come to Nigeria for trade and to seek greener pastures , and the borders are relatively porous.
in the south on the other hand, Nigerian - Cameroonian relations are not cordial, and the borders are tightly manned. it is tempting to think that our poor relations with them may have been planned after all. Fulani from northern Cameroon enter Nigeria freely, even benefiting from our healthcare system. the Atlantic ocean is another border country, hopefully they could lend us some mer-people for elections.

in summary, the north has an unfair advantage, the Yoruba use diplomacy and the ability to influence public opinion , as tools in compensating for their numerical disadvantage. the east on the other hand loves to play opposition and she is very very poor at playing opposition. The time has come to restrategize and look inwards

See the main reason BIAFRA has to be restored-Ex-Senate President EBUTE Tells UN

Senator Ameh Ebute, former Senate President, has called on the United Nations (UN) to endorse the proscription of declaration of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), led by Nnamdi Kanu, as a terrorist organization.

In a letter on Tuesday, Ebute, on behalf of League of Patriotic Elder Statesmen in Nigeria, said they were concerned at the exposure of traits of terrorism in IPOB as revealed by an intensive, painstaking security investigation and analysis of the activities of IPOB.

nwaUrasi:
like I stated earlier, Imo state should be merge with other state( or better still move it out of south east to north central so they can compete with kogi and Benue)

you can't help but wonder how they end up with the likes of Araraume, Emeka Ikedioha and Rochas Okorocha as political leaders.

to even think that the likes of Keneking, Abagworo, hungerbad and Ngeneukwenu are all from Imo state is another point of bewilderment.

Mr Man, Keep Quiet. The Only Human Being That Has A Chance Of Ruling Nigeria From The South-east Is Rochas. And I Hope U Knw Ur Votes Are Insignificant?

You see why rochas okoroawusa is totally lost in his aspiration for aso rock.
Igbo's are no longer interested in aso rock politics because they have realises that before a non-hausa/Fulani can acquire that seat, he or she must betray his entire generation both yet unborn and the least they will take from this dark Union is a restructured system.
We Igbo's need a political system that will encourage us towards altruistic patriotism not hypocrisy as is the case with current Nigeria.

"We igbos don't count in politics?"

My state Kano alone can match all 5 Igbo State votes

You are a true Igbo I like your opinion, actually Igbo's can correct their own problems with their hands

For example when we Hausas and Yorubas are not comfortable with Jonathan's leadership we make an alliance and make sure we voted him out

Nmandi kanu get a chance to lead Igbos to the promised land but he misuse the opportunity because of his hateful stand

Wish I could give you 1,000,000,000,000. You spoke without bias. Wow! Coming from a Northerner that should show his hatred for an Igbo man? Damn brother. You are the real MVP on this thread.

Who ever said that hatred is not a thing of the mind is lying. We all cannot think alike, which is why I agree that hate can only be conquered with enough love. Bros wetin you dey drink make I arrange you one bottle abeg .

Election ko, election in.
These APC governors are on a campaign mission. They are seriously looking forward to using their divide and rule tactics to seek reelection of Bubu.
They lost an attempt to capture South south when they fell out with Wike.
They know Rocha's has fallen out with the people of Imo.
The middle belt has been offended too.
While in the Southwest Fayose has stood his ground and has made people realise ,he was right all along.
Issues have further been compounded with the recent attacks in Abia by the military.

The way I see it, those Northern governors are desperate.

es144000:
They will start insulting him but he said the whole truth,who will entrust an igbo man with power now?

Most igbo's can't stand the truth.

Rocha's, have you paid Imo civil servants their salary?

President- in- waiting has spoken, Igbos can go cry me a river.

good. Very good.

The earlier the igbos realise that they need another section of the country the better for them. Democracy afterall is a game of numbers.

You dont fight with all region cos' you might need them 2moro. I doubt even if SE,SS and SW combined votes can defeat NW, NE and NorthCentral.

By way the north central has enjoyed its own fair share of ruling nigeria even more than the hausa/fulani
Gowon frm plateau state (9yrs) and IBB frm Niger state (8yrs), Abdulsalam (1yr) all from north central . Total 18yrs.

True statement from Okorocha but they can stay married for all we care....

Give us Referrendum or restructure this hell hole called Nigerians
