"It is common sense IPOB is the greatest obstacle to Igbo president" Quote.

With the same common sense, you ought to know that the above statement is a misleading and fabricated lie.

Nobody will give secessionists power.

Common sense.

Mrpojj:


It's not an obstacle
If the north truely want to quell ipob, give the presidency to dem and see if the clamour will not drop

You can't get presidency through blackmail either.

Who cares?

Nyamiri:


Align to the North? You must be deluding yourself.
Igbos have no choice in this matter. You must obey the north whether you slaves like it or not.

Remember some sensible Igbos have been warning you fools about this since 2014? Now, you have no stake in Apc and PDP is forcing poo down your throat.

I think the south west should come our em mass and vote for our candidate in 2023. Let's forget any political sentiment this time. Let's show d north we really match their population. If 70% of people in lagos vote and 80 % of ppl in oyo votes, those votes will swallow kano and kaduna votes combined. Let's show these northerners what we are made off. They keep intimidating us fa.

PHijo:


Who told you we've 'moved' on?

We've not moved on, we are not irrational like some of you who brought Buhari. That we supported APC governorship candidates does not mean we support APC as a political party. That we've supported PDP doesn't mean we cannot vote any other platform. In 2023 both PDP and APC may be in for big surprises in the Niger Delta if Nigeria survives till then.

Let me ask you a question and please answer objectively.

Going by the current political terrain in Nigeria:
If APC present Osinbajo
PDP present Kwankwaso/Atiku

Do you think Osinbajo will not get up to 30% vote in the SS?

What bothers me is how it took Yoruba's long to realise this.
.....from awolowo to abiola to olu falae etc

Yorubas are always indifferent to issues. Sometimes we tend to
Not bother about what we ought to bother and speak about.

Nairaland already taught some reserved Yorubas the need to constantly set narratives right because people from the other side always take silence for weakness.

ityP:



It's a valid excuse. No one would trust a region that is clamoring for division. It's risky. Imagine if an Igbo man was Head of state when Ojukwu fought for Biafra. It would have happened easily

So for your mind if Igbo man is the president of Nigeria he will divide Nigeria?

The excuse they sold to you not a reason.

These are laughable.

Abeg enjoy the little one Nigeria that is left.

But you expect to be trusted to determine who can rule in-spite of Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram, land grabbing attempts for ur murderous kinsmen from other parts of Western & Northern Africa and repeatedly attempting to islamize the country? Why should that 'child' be ever allowed to rule again? Stupid Aboki mentality

LegendHer0:


What is Igbo interest? Have you guys even had the audacity to emerge as presidential candidates since 1999?

2023 again, you have been canvassing for North or nobody again and yet you’re taking about interest.

u have a point there, u can't win Nigerian presidential election without aliening with other tribes maybe that is what the igboman is trying to do dis time around, just as yorubas did 2015 and 2019,u can understand better now ,until we think beyond tribal politics nothing will move in this part of the world seriously. No tribe is a political wizard guy.

Is not better they support the north just like Yorubas did in 2015?

ThatFairGuy:
See wetin Igbos has been reduced to

It's not what I think. But thats what an average Nigeria thinks. You can't blame them

They have started again. Well all we need is our Biafra. Just keep your presidency.

The North that has the presidency, how's life for the northerners. We are not even done with first quarter of 2020 these ones are talking about 2023. If the north has the presidency for 50yrs nothing might change. Nigeria is a fools paradise, ethnicity and religion designed to keep people stupid. Find a way to sort urself and ur family and enjoy ur life. Katsina has not been turned to paradise , neither has Lagos changed much.

Someone is up there deceiving himself as though Yorubas are the thorn in some pseudo Southern unity. He even said Yorubas are perpetually weeping opposition

This my Friend does not understand the level at which his people have become underdogs in the Nigerian political configuration. Like my brother rightly pointed out, in this fourth republic, we have been in the presidential limelight for more than thirteen years, out of twenty-one; a group has none

Well, I am not all in for all these permutations of federal benefits accruing to our region, in comparison to that of others. I just want a return to the defunct region-based fiscal and functional federalism in which We, Yorubas, would be the sole anchors of our prosperity and development, and not be at the mercies of some semi-literate upgraded, privileged archaics whose racial genes and intelligentsia are far behind the Omo Kaaro Ojiire. Else, Oodua Republic is imperative!

I am a Yoruba nationalist, not an opportunistic glorifier of this failing project called Niger Area

“You can’t have a son, on the one hand, calling for the separation of the country and on the other hand, you are asking to be trusted. The issue of power is that of trust, once there is no trust nobody will give you power



So we trust boko haram join fulani herdsmen and all of una northerners abi.

CSTR2:

Politics is reality.

Insult or not, the madness of kanu and igbo elites have created a scenario where the actualisation of igbo presidency is looking like a mirage.

[s]The next best thing to correct that anomaly is to vote for the region with the highest chance of re-entering mainstream politics.

And that is not the south west.

Will the igbos be smart enough to recognise it?
That is a different answer.[/s]

if you don't recognize by now that non of these makes sense, then you never will.

if the SE follow your suggestion and vote a northern candidate because they want to "re-enter mainstream", then what happens after another 8 years? the SW gets lobbied and also decide to "re-enter mainstream" by voting another Northern candidate.

where or when will the foolishness of southern Nigeria end?

He said:
“I’m sure within them, in all honesty, they know that they are not prepared for that if they were prepared we would have seen the sign. The time has come when people will no longer be intimidated by one cult group funny character who is talking on their behalf to intimidate the country and because of that situation people will always join such clamour, it’s not done anywhere.

Seems you did not read his statement lol! He’s mocking you guys but your mind is fixated on the Yorubas that do not care for your 5% votes!

Stay there and be dragging who rules this failed entrapment and not find a way to save your childrens future and the few years you have remaining

The years your people with the fulanis rulled how far what did you as a person benefit did they tar your street?,is there nepa.light in your house or room right now,make we no talk enter security because that one name gbege, how weighty is that Nigerian passport you have,i don't think you are a traveler otherwise you would have been more exposed than or may be you do travel and have refused to be reasonable

Ibos may just be waking up to fact that it is who aligns with the north that will get a chance to presidency, just like Yorubas did in 2015

Afospecialk:



And you will lick the poo of ur Fulani master do 8 years

And Yoruba will reinforce and get it before you

100% no Ibo can get to the throne if election is conducted 1000 times

Awol1:
If that will prevent Tinubu's mouth odour from desecrating Aso Rock, I'm in.

But pair a northerner with Peter Obi, Okwute Ndi Igbo with agreement he would succeed the northerner.

And it has to be PDP.

APC is a terrorist and cursed party of mauruding herdsmen.

Just imagine!

Northerners dont make agreement on Presidency with anyone!
Just imagine that they did not honor their agreement with Yorubas since 2015, how come do you then expect them to honor any greement with Igbos, who have even more less clout, compared to Yorubas.

Igbos need to understand, and l say this with all honesty, that even if they dont like Nigeria and want Biafra, THE ONLY PATH for an Igbo presidency, lies in an alliance with the South West.
Nnamdi Kanu has agreed to this much, when he tried forming a rapport with Omoyele Sowore.
The Northerner will NEVER give an Igbo man the Presidency, Never, not with all the agreements of this world
How the Igbos chose to burn the bridge they need to cross this river, while seething with hatred, is beyond human logic!

LegendHer0:
Lol this Shettima is an oppressor.

See how he is treating the Igbos like children and lecturing them on how to put their house in order.

Let’s see how these guys will react to their master’s statement!

You should ask him whose Son Abubakar Shekau is. Also ask him whose sons bokoharam are. And what message are they preaching. If the sons of the north didn't stop Nigeria from voting for buhari why should the son of SE make Nigeria not to vote for SE presidency ?

LegendHer0:


You are just one person. Your opinion belong to the trash. The real SS decision makers are not as clueless as those folks online.

Buhari defeated Jonathan and he still won 30-35% of the vote in 2019. Let alone an Osinbajo on the ballot in 2023.

Write it down, the APC will field a Yoruba and he will get at lest 30-35% vote in SS in 2023.

You will be very surprised. South south too wants presidency and giving a southerner the ballot means they'll have to wait for like 16 years to get Presidency again. They will prefer a northerner so they can entertain hopes for 2031. A northerner would be president come 2023. It's so glaring

Right now, you don't have a choice thanks previous political mistakes.

The only choice you have now is at least enter the mainstream, then build alliances that would ensure your long term interests.

Nobody will give secessionists power.

Common sense.

Nigeria: Igbos are all over our land

Nigeria: They should go and leave our land for us.
Igbos: Support us to leave Nigeria.

Nigeria. Noooooooo you will stay o


Nigeria is in a state of confusion because of Igbos.


Well said. Enjoy the piece of Nigeria for the next generation.

Yes you’re right. Every tribe need each other and diplomacy is a tool of politics. The Igbos sometimes don’t believe in diplomacy and they don’t seems to understand no man is an island.

I‘m happy you said Igbo will do what Yoruba did in 2015 by allying with the North. That’s nice, it’s the game of politics. You can support the North if your think your interest will be protected.

Goodluck!

Osinbajo will not fly!
He has always lied against Jonathan and disrespected him. Anybody who disrespects Jonathan provokes millions.
Atiku is a much better candidate. As for Kwakwanso, I can't tell. If many know him to be a fundamentalist like Buhari, he stands no chance.

Osibanjo needs more than 30 percent in any zone in the South. He has to win the 3 Southern zones by a landslide and do very well in the middle belt to win.

As for the North west and North east, in the last 20 years, no Southern politician has won elections in their respective regions.

The day the South lost it was the day the South west, with the help of Amaechi worked against Jonathan.

I will advice the South west to forget the presidency in 2023 and support an acceptable candidate from any part of the South instead. That's the only way they can boost their chances in the future.

2023 looks like a race between the Igbo and North in my opinion.

One of both would likely emerge. I feel the North has real chances of retaining power.

Aligning with south west would never be in the interests of the east. If south east wants Presidency, they should instead kill the biafran idea asap. South west do not care about the east. The east knows this. In fact, if the east gets the trust of the North, after of course ending Biafra talks, they can have a chance. Nigeria is owned by the north and only the north can allocate power to whom they deem fit

CSTR2:

Shut up.

Nnamdi kanu is the reason why inferiors can say with all authority that igbos don't deserve to be president.

How will Nnamdi kanu help your children unborn?
Will it help you get more in the Nigerian plate?

Unless biafra will be created tomorrow, the existence of Kanu is at cross purpose with igbo interests.

I don't know why this is too complicated for some people to see.

Business sense is different from common sense.

This is d fact/truth d igbos 'ostritches'.

'Good luck' to them.

Any alliance with the Southwest will end in sorrow because they will backstab you.

The yorubas voted a known bigot and illiterate to spite the Igbos whom the supposed were enjoying under GEJ.

By so doing, they let loose the first ball of a vicious cycle which shall keep rolling.

Let Meyitti Allah have power perpetually if that's what it takes.

ityP:



The only political slaves I see are Yorubas. Licking North's ass, hoping to get Presidency in 2023. The igbos would never be President of naija though. At least not in the nearest future. But they will clearly vote in a northerner cos they hate yorubas. The north are the only politically sensible region in naija. They play the game of politics masterfully. A northerner would be president come 2023

U are just been clever by half, SS will eldge u out, u think Wike doesn't know what he is doing, deh there deh play Ostrich Wike is putting his money where is mouth is, does he look like a fool to u

The same Igbos that are leaving this country next year or is it another Igbo he is lecturing?
