The actual reality is that Igbo's benefited from PDP more even though it doesn't see it fit for presidency.

It all about interest and blackmail, ayims, ike, wambara, okadigbo, nnamani were all Igbo's and could have passed bills to change their people plight but wouldn't.

Since APC took over 2015 all hell went loosed, iPod had a voice (still tried to favour PDP last minute in election 2019 but couldn't).


Summary is its all political blackmail

For igbos to successfully pass a bill that will favour igbos they need majority vote to do that and we all know yorubas and northerners are the majority and will never vote to favour igbos so it's impossible to do that,
and how will you say we are not fit for presidency? Are northerners and Westerners more fit for presidency than us what makes them more fit?

What ipob is fighting for is more than the political game northerners and Westerners are playing, we know our history, the injustice Unfair treatment of our people has always been there, we can't pretend we love those who fought us killed our men and women destroyed our towns and villages, starved our kids to death, we want a nation of our own, Nigeria is too divided by ethic and tribal hate and religious hate to work as one

The Bane of the Biafra struggle is their changing what should be a struggle for Israel, YAH's people, to a political struggle for the Igbo race. Plus their seeking to be accepted by the Jewish people currently in the land of Israel.

For example, I know of certain Nigerian Hebrew Israelites living in South-Eastern Nigeria (Cross River State), bordering Cameroon. From my research, these are of the tribe of Judah; people and villages that still go by their Hebrew names.

These and several other Israelite tribes in the South-East and South-South and South-West Nigeria do not trust the Igbo tribe and do not desire to be part of their Biafra because of past experiences.

In conclusion, This is a call to unite, not just politically through Biafra; but as YAH's people, recognizing ourselves for who we truly are (ISRAEL) and keeping YAH's laws and commandments. Only then shall deliverance come.

This man is a godforsaken buffoon.
And I thought he was a smart politician.

Imagine the shit he's vomiting from his mouth. Oke mkpi.

He should go and ask Asari Dokubo whether his threats retained GEJ in power.

For the mere fact that many policitians from the SE cannot go through the politicking and contest for presidency is a clear sign of failure and unpopularity. You cannot arm twist a country that has so many ethnic groups to do your bidding. Instead of going round to do campaign, you are issuing threats and blackmail feeling entitled. No ethnic group has monopoly over Nigeria.

Amalekki:

The premise for that arrangement was June 12. Do you have your own June 12 before demanding for a 1999 arrangement? June 12 that led to 1999 was built on hope for a true nation, respect for all regardless of ethnicity, building of political bridges with strong allies despite differences etc. It was not built on ignorant arrogance & uncouth culture. Nigerians came together as Nigerians. Where is your June 12?

Yes the premises for seeking that is the Nigerian biafran civil war
If June 12 is valid
The civil war is much more valid

Why can’t Igbo seek to contest under PDP for 2023 presidency? After all their unwavering loyalty to the party, the party still refuses to give them the ticket or what is really happening for God sake.

Can we say the SE’ners are cowards that can’t even ask for presidency under PDP? Abi it’s just that they are useful tool by the Northerners in PDP to use to their advantage?


Did the Yorubas seek to contest for presidency in 1999 before it was zoned to them? Yoruba presidency was only possible then because both parties presented Yoruba candidates, and PDP only presented Yoruba not because they were strong in the party, but simply to compensate them for 1993.

This is what I keep talking about you guys. You can’t blackmail Yorubas into supporting you, all this appeal to pity won’t work bro.

Firstly, yoruba were not given presidency on a platter of gold in 1999. PDP primary was contested among southerners in the Jos convention. Ekwueme contested against OBJ, He was defeated by Obasanjo simply because the northerners and middle belt caucus voted OBJ.

Also, you should remember the SW won the 1993 presidential election before annulling it. The NADECO guys fought the government to a halt and that made the northerners especially Babangida and his caucus to concede the ticket to OBJ.

The north gave it to OBJ and not the Igbos. Infact the Igbo delegate in the jos convention voted for Ekwueme.

Now back to the topic, for the Yorubas to support Igbos, you guys need to stop seeing the Yorubas as the betrayals of the southern cause and start looking at your own past attrocities to the south too.

You started betraying the south first, you sold the south to the northerners first by the action of Azikwe.

You did it during Shagari period also with Ekwueme.
You did it with Sylvester Ugoh and Tofa against Abiola.

Yoruba voted against the south only once and that’s in 2015.

Yoruba voted against the south only once and that’s in 2015.

My point is simply that other zones conceded the ticket to Yorubas in 1999, and that made it possible for them. Yes, Igbos also contested because in all fairness, Igbos also deserved the right to go for the presidency. Obj had ruled Nigeria for 3 years before 1999, how many years have Igbos ruled Nigeria since independence?

Whether in 1999 or 2023, any southern zone that must produce the president must need the support of the North. Even you guys are solely banking on the North to hand power over to you in 2023. Your confidence is based on your alliance with the North in APC. If the North decides to fight for it again in 2023, we can never have a Yoruba president.

It's not only Igbos that see Yorubas as betrayers of the Southern cause. Your fellow Yorubas see you as so. How do I know this? I simply consider the voting patterns in 2015 and 2019. If in 2015, 45% of your people voted along with the rest of the South and in 2019, 47% voted likewise, it means your own people see you as betrayers or you see them as betrayers. Either way, your condemnation is in-house.

Either way, your condemnation is in-house.


I’m asking you for the last time, who is the south that we swore allegiance to up to the extent of betrayal?

The south that aligned with Balewa instead of Awolowo?
The south that voted Shagari instead of Awolowo?
The south that voted Tofa instead of Abiola?

Why don’t you own up to the fact that the Igbos are the biggest betrayal of the southern cause. Is Yoruba no more part of the people dictating for the south? Is it only betrayal when we go against the Igbos and not betrayal when the Igbos go against Yoruba interest?

About SW voting PDP 45%-55% as you opined, that’s true and it just shows you the extent of the Yoruba democratic philosophy. Yorubas have transitioned between AD, PDP, APC since 1999, And that reflected in the vote pattern.

In Nigeria, the SW and the middle belt region is the only unpredictable region in an election and both region plays the highest form of democracy in Nigeria. Which explains why the two region are the golden region in determining who rules this nation.

The SE/SS/NE/NW voting pattern can be predicted so policy maker don’t waste time much on those region, which explain why the SW still hold some ace.

Since 1999, the only time the person the SW supported lost was in 1999, coz we supported Falae and OBJ was voted in.

Having dissenting voting pattern amongst ourselves is not about betrayal, you guys have to grow up and find different words for situations and don’t just keep regurgitating the same incoherent word about betrayal. Who was betrayed??

You've answered yourself already. Your inexperience in leadership is the reason why the North refused to give Biafra it's Independence. This is why we are training Joe Igbokwe on learder. After which we will give Biafra it's Independence and Joe Igbokwe will become it's first President (by fire by force). While we make FFK his the Vice President of Biafra. grin grin grin

This kind of statement is unbecoming of an igbo elite even though ezeife is well respected it only makes it look like we are politically hopeless.

Nobody will give you the presidency on a platter of gold except you work tirelessly for it or get the national assembly to make the office a rotational one amongst all geographical zone.

The igbo politicians should challenge the pdp to zone their 2023 presidential ticket to the southeast having supported them a lot in the past and test their political will at the poll.

If you believe in ipob for the actualization of biafra fine go for it but do not tie it to 2023 presidency because it won't work.

But Igbo's should know that it will affect a lot
1)Most Igbo's resides outside Igbo land,and are mostly business men and by so doing they will need to move their biz to their land
2) The landmass of igboland won't be sufficient enough for them , massive competition for limited resources which may lead to killings and robbery

stop using business and landmass to scare the igbos. What made most of them to be in business,? If the Nigeria govt favors them like others not so many of them will be in business.
No land is too small if you utilize it. For eg, people that live in Johannesburg alone are more than the people living in some provinces in South Africa due to the high rise buildings. If igbos or biafrans can adopt the plan of building skyscrapers it will accommodate all biafrans and foreigners and still have enough land for farming and other things.
Biafra will not be like Nigerian where there is no building plans. Those who champion Biafra are based in overseas and they will use oversea experience to build Biafra.

I am disappointed in Ezeife
if truly he made those comments.
He must be mad to drag IPOB
into the filth of useless Nigerian politicasting.
For the records, IPOB does not seek the patronage
of people who have an eye on Nigerian politics.
IPOB has no place for political calculators and projectioners from the East or anywhere for that matter.
IPOB is not a political party either, and so seeks no carpet crosser, decampees and directionless whores.
If people like Ezeife is hinging his possible support
or denial of support for IPOB on the outcome of Nigeria's 2023 election, then it should be clear that he was never more than an overrated ideologue!



And why can't our people learn to be single-minded
in pursuit of the collective good?
What kind of sickness is that?
All these dilly-dallying and shilly-shallying rub us badly.
Take a definite stand, and take it boldly !
If you are for Nigeria, go on with your one Nigeria,
If you are for Biafra, stand up and straight for Biafra!
There should be no middle ground.
There should no iffy disposition.
There should be no such nonsensical conditional attitude suggesting that if the mother hen fails to quack,
then we consider accepting the gobbling of the mother turkey in its place.
Real men do not blow hot and cold!

Why should any sane Igbo still be dreaming of Nigerian presidency as though that will bring us to our Uhuru,
as though that will correct the manifold anomalies and imbalances of the false Nigerian federation?
Nigeria was built to favour only a section.
Nigeria is not a country.
A country does not raise a section of its populace above the law.
Nigeria is worse than a jungle.
Let those whose fantasy is fanned by a possible gift of Nigerian presidency from the Hausa-Fulani
stick to their lane.
They should never include IPOB in their political calculations.
