FlyoruB:

We do not have any igbo that will conquer the votes in the north. And you know those illiterates plenty and use gullible alanajiris to influence votes. I wonder how obasanjo managed to win sef but their eye never open that time.

Lets us believe that the 2 major political parties will cede the presidency tickets to the South East by 2023 but what we are saying is people from the South East should choose their candidate and no candidate should come Anambra and Abia states. They should stop Marginalizing us.
Please Read below.

2023:The Marginalization of the South East By Anambra State.

The South-Eastern part of Nigeria is one of the geo-political zones that have contributed quality human resources to the Nigerian political space. The region is known for both economic and political influence to the larger Nigerian State. Despite having only five states as against the six and seven states of other zones, the South East has continued to maintain its relevance and collaboration with other regions, especially the South-South in asserting her influence in Nigerian politics.

However, this region has suffered series of marginalization both in the larger Nigerian political space and within the region itself. The region has been short-changed with only five States. The implication of this can be seen in fewer federal legislators from the region and more from regions with six and seven states. The one-state deficit in the South East also means fewer political opportunities for the people of the region and development. However, the main thrust of this paper is not the marginalization emanating from the Nigerian federation via the 1999 Constitution but the internal marginalization that exist within the states in the region. Put differently, this paper is an attempt to shed light on the opportunities enjoyed by some states in the South East (especially Anambra State) much to the disadvantage of other states in the region. These opportunities come in the form of political offices.

In the Southern Eastern region, political opportunities have tilted towards some states. A statistical analysis of political offices available to the South East reveals that some states have produced or almost produced all federal political office available.

For the sake of emphasis, while the marginalization meted out to the South East by the Nigerian state is obvious and well known by Nigerians and especially Ndi-Igbo at home and in Diaspora, there exist a systematic marginalization within the region manifesting in the form of Anambra and Abia wielding their economic/wealth advantage to grab more Federal position much to the chagrin of the other three states. The worst hit by this comparative disadvantage is Imo State: The Eastern Heartland.

To buttress the above assertion, a statical trip was undertaken to establish the veracity of the claim that indeed other South Eastern States are being marginalized by Anambra State and to appreciable extent, Abia State.

Anambra: Created in the year 1976 and unofficially known as the economic power house of the East, Anambra State is not just the home to the reknown Onitsha and Nnewi Markets. It is also not just the house of globally acclaimed industrialist and captains of industry; it is a haven of reknown political and diplomatic statesmen who have earned their place in the annals of Nigeria politics. The State boast of having produced the first and only indigenous Governor General of Nigeria the Late Owelle of Onitsha, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Anambra has also produced Nigerian President (1963 – 1966) in same Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Further, the state has also produced the First Nigerian elected Vice President (1979 – 1983) in the person of the late renowned Architect, Chief Alex Ekwueme. Two President of the Nigerian Senate have also emerged from Anambra State: Chief Nwafor Orizu and Dr. Chuba Okadigbo. Also, a Speaker of the Federal House of Representative hailed from Anambra State, Chief Edwin Umezuoke. Apart from producing politicians who are first to occupy such offices, Anambra is also home to some of the finest and refined Economists, politicians and diplomats. Chief Emeka Anyaoku, a globally recognized son of Anambra State who has made his mark in the common wealth of Nation is an Example. Also Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo sat the helms of the affairs of Central Bank of Nigeria from 2004 – 2009, Dr. Kingsley Moghalu occupied the Deputy Governorship position in the Central Bank of Nigeria between 2009 – 2014. Mention must also be made of Dr. Oby Ezekwesili who has also made her mark at the World Bank as Vice President Incharge of Africa.

Abia State: Created in 1991 and known as the God’s Own State, Abia State ranks second in the South East for having produced leaders at the National stage. The late accomplished officer of the Nigerian army who went ahead to become the first military Head of State of Nigeria, Gen. Johnson Thomas Umunakwe Aguiyi Ironsi was a son of Abia State. He became Head of State after January 15th 1966 Military Coup, He ruled till July 31st 1966. The state has also produced the equivalent of a Vice President Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe: Senate President Adolphus Nwagbara and Speaker of the Federal House, Jaja Nwachukwu of Abia origin also.

A notable politician/consultant economist who was a super minister between 2011 and 2015, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala also hails from Abia State via marriage and has since been holding offices through Abia State slot. She is at the verge of leading the World Trade Organization (WTO) and taking Nigeria and Abia State further to the world.

Enugu: Popularly known as the Coal City, Enugu became a State in 1991 and was once the capital city of Eastern Nigeria. The State is known for having produced a Senate President in Chief Ken Nnamani and also a Deputy Senate President Senator Ike Ekweremadu (2007 – 2019). Ekweremmadu was especially influential in the Nigerian Legislative space for those 12 years as DSP and for the same period chaired the very important senate committee on the Amendment of the 1999 Constitution.

Ebonyi State: Created in 1996 by the Abacha Administration in an attempt to address the problem of marginalization of the South East, Ebonyi State has had a single individual dominate her politics at the national level from 1999 to 2015. The State can boast of having produced a Senate President and also Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). Both positions were occupied by the same individual, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim, who is seen in Ebonyi and the founder and father of the state as well as the architect of modern Ebonyi.

Imo State: Created in 1976 and regarded as the Eastern Heartland, Imo State has managed to produce Chief Evan Enwerem who had a brief stinct as Senate President before he was removed. Imo State also boasts of having produced a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in Chief Emeka Ihedioha.

From the figures above, it is clear that Anambra holds the lead. This could owe much to the economic clout they possess. Comfortably, Anambra State leads the South East in the order of having benefitted most from Federal positions.

Abia State has also proven itself as worthy for having produced distinguished personalities for federal offices.

It is my submission therefore that should the 2023 presidency be zoned to the South East by any of the Major Political Parties or both, Imo, Ebonyi and Enugu States, should be considered as Anambra and Abia have had their fair share, notable people that are eminently qualified includes Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, Sen. Rochas Okorocha, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, Sen. Ken Nnamani, Rt.Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, Sen. Dr. Sam Egwu, Engr. David Umahi etc.

This is the meaning of equity and the concept of equitable distribution of opportunities. Considerations and priorities should be given to the three states stated above in order to allay the fear of systematic marginalization and calculated subjugation of the other states by Anambra and Abia States. A close feel of the pulse of Ndi-Igbo reveals this fear and feeling of entranched domination of the region by Anambra. The enormous wealth of their business class and the shrewdness of their politicians has been partly adduced to be the reason for such.

However, there is an urgent need for the regions to look inward and begin to address the problem of marginalization from within before we can effectively tackle the problem of the marginalization of the entire South East by the rest of the Federation.

A good product need no hard sell.



Just bring your A game, and let the chip fall where it may.



The other governors can't catch up now if umahi and zulum stay on their focused pace, which I suspect they will, in terms of staying prompt with salary payment, maintaining existing infrastructure, supporting equality/fair and good business structures and laws. Add clean environment to that.


Business structure, one place payment. One or two places to go and resolve issue or get assistance. In person, mobile, and online.


Electricity is supposed to be led from the fg not sg for it to make sense. It is clear as day that the states need major help there. If it is not done from fg, if one state has electricity, then the other state without electricity will have many illegal line tapers, which will stress the machines doing the job, depending on size and quality sha. You want states to have their own style of electricity, so that if someone lives by a border state, then, it is not a problem with border overlap.



Anyway, electricity.

We need to be famzing with the experts in producing electricity.

Which fair share are you even talking about!? How has anambra marginalized other parts for christ sake? Sorry but this your submission is rooted in ignorance.

I just love ur moniker can I ??

UDUJ:
The statement on the image below got me laughing out loud. So them getting a VP slot is demeaning or what? Or they are only interested in the Presidential slot? And they think in this tribalistic Nigeria and with the memories of the Biafra war and the present IPOB struggle for a separate Biafra nation that any right thinking Northerner or Westerner will not look at them with fear? Very funny set of people

give them the presidency or the country splits. You can't escape the two, impossible.

so dem nor wnt Biafra again?

I hope say no be u people poison am!...wahala be like bycicle...sweetycunt hope ur hand no dey involved..

SweetCunt97:
Well, let's pray ur jagaban will live to see that day.

THE Director-General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu, who said he was not opposed to the unity of Igbo people, however, stressed that it was a difficult thing for the people of the zone to be united on an issue, stressing that no ethnic grouping in Nigeria had ever being united on issues concerning them.

“For instance, I am one of the followers of President Buhari. From inception, to be sincere, he never had the support of a large segment of the northern elite in the four elections spanning 2003 to 2015. His base was mainly the Talakawas or the masses. I am also aware that when His Excellency, Alhaji Shehu Shagari of blessed memory was running for the presidency, he didn’t enjoy the support of all northerners. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s love loss with the Yoruba is legendary. Hence no reference to hang on, as Chief M.K.O. Abiola of the blessed memory defeated Alhaji Bashir Tofa in Kano.

“Accordingly, no pundit should fly the kite that Ndigbo will not produce Nigeria president of Igbo extraction because we are not united. And let no one buy in such bogey. It’s trite that when you want to deny a child his ripe apple you may concoct one excuse or the other. The truism is that it is our turn

He has a point though. My only concern is that you guys hate APC as a political party so much that no one knows why. The party that was formed in 2013 or 2014, why?

SweetCunt97:
Well, let's pray ur jagaban will live to see that day.

Are you sure you yourself will live to see tomorrow?

Yoruba1stson:
but why can't you transform your region bcuz last time i checked you still remain poverty capital of the south. Bring out your cursed region from darkness and then we will consider you for speaker bcuz a goat has a chance to be president than any useless nyamiris.
fvck nyamiris

I won't bother to exchange words with a known tribalistic bigot like you! Mr come to my region and see young men who are millionaires! There's no family without a millionaire. We rose from the ashes of the Civil War, we built back what was torn down. We acquired back wealth that was seized! So pls gimme a break. We igbos are survivors, we don't rely on wealth from other regions like u Northerners.

anambra has more billionaires than yoruba from your ipob bereau of statistics but you still remain poverty capital of the south. Nyamiris and foolishness are like 5 and 6

when u place ur cart before the horse,u surely know the result!igbos must be ready to bring nnamdi kanu back to order,accept to be nigerians and apologise to others for the insults hurled at them!

Here we go again. I'm not even talking about whether APC is a failure or success, I'm saying that you guys never welcome APC right from its formation.

BTW: I Guess the part of why PDP is better was their inability to solve fuel scarcity for 16 years. You must have loved suffering

Ibos or lgbos can never and will never be the president of this entity called Nigeria. Take it to CBN or Wall Street. A slave can never be our president. The mistakes of the past can never be repeated. Their greed have destroyed them. Buhari for third term 2023. Exodus 2: 23-25

Generalnomercy:



Useless people won't rest because Igbo's gives them nightmares.

Why are some hegoarlts obscessed with the Igbo's that they in their region are always writing fictitious things which are of their imaginations?

So annoying that yorubas are bet on destroying Igbo's and nairaland is their official channel of doing so.

Even in this age that people are busy with their lives.

And you have to mention and insult Yorubas specifically?

Yet you will still want them to dash you their 'Turn and Right in APC' to Produce the APC Ticket, so you can Produce a President?

David Umahi who joined APC last Month, has suddenly become APC Chieftain, what the should we call those who have moved from ACN to form APC in 2015 and have been Governor (and even someone like Yemi Osinbajo is V.P) in APC?

Issokay o.
Make we siddon dey look. this inordinate Ambition Nollywood

etrouble:
That’s the best they can aspire because they are afraid of facing the Yorubas in the general elections. Igbos will never come out and face Yorubas in the general elections. Instead Igbos will hide behind the Hausa/Fulanis to fight the Yorubas.

Nnamdi Azikwe with his PhD accepted to be Ceremonial President to semi literate Tafawa Balewa in order to fight the Yorubas.

Alex Ekwueme with his PhD accepted to be VP to half educated Almajari called Sheu Shagari so that he can fight Awolowo.

Central Bank Governor of defunct Biafra Central Bank with his international certificates and exposure accepted to be VP to bank teller called Bashir Tofa in order to fight MKO Abiola, yet Abiola defeated Tofa in Tofa’s local government and Ward. Still yet, it was another Igbo named Arthur Nzeribe who went to Court to stop/cancel the election.

Peter Obituary with all his certificates from the best universities all over the world and his several years of professional banking still accepted to be VP to semi literate Adamawa Bobrisky called Atikuchukwu Abubakar whose highest educational qualification is a bought ordinary Diploma of ABU.

Even Wike the wicked was scheming to be VP to Aminu Tambuwal a semi literate herdsman before the Adamawa Bobrisky bought all delegates at the Presidential primary.

Why are Igbos always scared of facing the Yorubas in general election? Common, you can do it. Face your fears once and for all. If you fail, then you try another day. Stop hiding behind the Hausa/Fulanis. Come out and face the Yorubas in the general elections.

But guy you are saying the truth ooi...
But the one pains me the most is the Yoruba erudite prof accepting to be a VP to a stack illiterate not even a semi illiterate from the North.
We will keep controlling you guys from here.Educated fools.
