I wonder why igbos are supoorting AC,it seems thwy haven't learnt from past mistakes,YORUBA people are cunning

Why? The blantant truth is that an igbo man would never be voted in as the president of nigeria. Its not my opinion and wish but just a bitter truth. The hausa"s wouldn't let that happen and the yoruba's , well u don't trust each other

@o.poster,
the idea is that the yorubas via obasanjo had 8 useless yrs and then the hausas already had 4 useless yrs thru yar adua we are owing the hausas another 4 useless yrs.
if this is followed well, the igbos will be warming up for 2015 but they will never let this be hence the confussion from obasanjo's farm just to make sure the igbos will never have their ways.
obasanjo is smart but God is bigger than him. maybe one day, we will see obasanjo feed like a goat.

Is it not because ibo people go for the highest bidder? ACN is obviously not the highest bidder.

Because as we speak, there is no credible Ibo man fit for the post

How do you guys think a Igbo can "win" in Naija. Going from 1 out of 4 (or 2 of 4) to 5 out of 36? Unless there is unity in the south, plus the middle belters those fulani men are butcherin, then, can we talk of Igbo candidate.

because Tinubu is a traitor that is why. Why not ask , why did tinubu not field a Yorubaman. too. He want to sell you people into slavery because of Oando oil.

This picture is the reason, why tinubu does not want any southerner to be president. because of oando oil. So southern can be his slave.


Your best hope at the moment is Dele momodu Or any southerner, Jonathan had 1 year to make change. he did not.

Why should the ACN field an Igbo candidate?

I suppose we should also spoon-feed them too. A tribe that boast superiority, yet begging/expecting  their "other" counterpart to get the job done for them. Laziness is soon becoming the second skin for these whiners.

^^ Kilo se aago e?

@OP,
Why should ACN field an Igbo, Are Igbos banned from forming their own parties and fielding their own candidates? Or why are you depending on others to help you promote your candidates?

Because it is a national party, not a Yoruba or SW party. At the moment its core support is in the SW region, but there is nothing stopping ACN from spreading its appeal to other regions.  I'm sure its leaders understand that, and will continue to work towards that goal.

Personally, I'd love to see an Igbo president within the next 5 years - the sooner the better.  It will unify the country, help heal old wounds and shut the door on the civil war for good.  A truly unified Nigeria is better able to fulfill her role (really, her destiny) as the leader in Africa.

/off my soapbox 

^-- The way the OP presents his argument (and I mean "argument" in the loosest possible way), somehow not fielding an Igbo candidate this election cycle is some sort of great evil.

In which case. . . why aren't the PDP, CPC, APGA, etc getting flack for it?

Moreover, when did fielding an Igbo candidate become necessary to maintain credentials as a nationalist party? Who mandated this?

Finally, the sense of entitlement pisses me off. If you want an Igbo candidate, work for it. Don't whine and cry for someone else to give it to you.

Bear, I was expressing my view on the sentence I highlighted.  Really, that is what caught my eye. 

Why is APGA not fielding an Igbo Candidate?

Atleast the he ACN has members in other state outside the SW the APGA is like the UKIP party only igbo members allowed

Why would anyone but a joker want to be the presidential candidate of a flip-flopping failing party? The fact that Ribadu and Tinubu are now friends speaks volume of the corruption in their party. Even Buhari knew better and gave them 100 yards. Also, the fact that failing ACN appointed candidates instead of electing them makes it a no go area for decent non-Rascals . I heard Tinubu RASCALLY appointed his own wife to go to the senate. That one na RASCAL family party.

Non-Yorubas may go into ACN to provide some space to enable them win local or state elections in their states and then move back to their original parties when they succeed.

Mark my word, ACN will be dead outside of Yorubaland after the elections have been won and lost. Tinubu is too rascally for any decent person to associate with.

@poster.

What will you not indict the Yoruba man of? If you fail to sleep at night you will , somehow , blame your insomnia on the Yoruba man !! If the ACN had fielded an Igbo candidate I can bet any money you will be the first to shout that those "wayo" tribalist are trying to set up and humiliate an Igbo man .

And yet, when it is all said and done, the PDP is likely to lose substantial amounts of territory this election to the ACN and CPC.

igbos on nairaland, this 'everybody-hates-us-cos-we're-ibo' attitude is starting to get old. you people are guilty of the tribalism you're forever accusing the yoruba of. i'm starting to get paranoid if my ibo friends are really my friends afterall

When all is said and done, PDPand not ACN, will produce the president in the coming election. ACN has failed a priori.

Will be interesting to see how effective the PDP presidency is when it controls less than half of states, and likely loses control of the senate and house.

agree with you, but your friends are your friends as long as tehy are not on Nairaland, even the most rational personal will start getting ideas

Sometimes i just wonder how people work together with other Yorubas, Hausas (muslims) at work in maybe lagos or some other parts of the country with this level of reverse hatred

Nigeria is not USA. Even Tinubu, and certainly Tinubu's wife, will be licking Jonathan's arse after the election and how will PDP lose control of the House? How many Yorubas are in the house?

It isn't ACN alone that is looking to take away PDP states. . . in fact, likely the greatest loss will come elsewhere

You could not have said that better. Nowadays, I feel paranoid among my friends involuntarily. It is just so sad that igbos on NL hate yorubas yet I see igbos and yorubas on the street talking, doing businesses and even marry. My closest friend is igbo. My GF is igbo. But some of the igbos on NL just give igbos a bad name. The question I love one of these anti-yoruba, anti-Nigeria igbos to answer is, If you hate Nigeria and Nigerians so much especially the yorubas, why do you want to be their president? Is it to inflict pains on them or what?! The reason I am asking this question to show them the paradox they are creating. Mo

Matters less as long as Tinubu and his ACN are nowhere near majority. Moreover most of the non-PDP members will gravitate BACK toward the PDP no sooner than they are elected. So, head or tail, ACN loses.

you have to understand the igbo brain

there are 2 types of igbos in the world

1.) the biafra supremest ones /stup.id ones mostly found in the east of nigeria and america

2.) live and let's live igbos they love everyone,.,.,., they are mostly found in lagos, abuja etc

now you have to ask you friend what he think about biafra to be able to categorise him/ her

if his respond is " i do not care we are brothers" or something along that line, then he is number 2

but if it is " you bloody yoruba/ hausa people are killers may they rot in hell" or something along that line then he is number 1

try it it works all the time

i am igbo myself

A random survey conducted by the North-west zone of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has led to dire projections that the ruling party may lose six out of the seven states in the zone.

According to party insiders who spoke with THISDAY yesterday, the projection is that PDP risks losing in Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Kano. The only state considered safe is Jigawa.

The North-west is seen as the biggest voting bloc in the country, although no single party has won in all the states in general elections since 1999.

Currently, PDP controls all states but Kano in the zone, but the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), founded by Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who is also its presidential candidate, is said to be the first choice among the people who are said to be passionate about a Northerner regaining power at the centre.
