Welcomed news! Chyz you continue to be the bringer of good news. Stand up Igbo politicians and show the Ndigbo that you stand with us. |

EzeUche_: Ndigbo ga adi, nwannem. |

Jonathan believes that he can bite the hand that fed him. He will learn never to mess with the Ndigbo. He has made an enemy out of the s/east. . . |

Good news. I support mass exodus of Igbo leaders out of PDP. I don't even care if they join CAN but I want them to join APGA. Any party as long as its not PDP but APGA must remain the majority in the East. I don't need all of us to be in the same party but we must have our base APGA. Other minority parties in the East will always have a role to play coz their presence will always keep members of APGA or whatever party we choose to flock on their toes so they don't take us for granted. |

This made me laugh for some reason. I've never heard of this "Southeast Integrity Forum" before. Is it actually a prominent body? Or just a couple dudes giving their little club a fancy title? |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Chyz2: 5:09am On May 15, 2011 |
ekt_bear: They are the Judas' and no they are not prominent at the least,lol. |

Nobody will defect anywhere, you guys stop allowing people use your heads to break coconuts just to feather their personal ambitions. Why would anybody conclude that GEJ will burn his support base? Elections are over, but the man needs support for a variety of reasons. So why would he burn bridges, would you if you were in his shoes? It is funny that the very same people that poked fun at the SW are the ones now shouting loudest; it is because they aren't paying attention to two facts. The first being that politicians are lobbying intensely for what they can personally get (you are their unwitting weapon), and the second is that rewards are usually given out of sight (they usually come as roads, ports, opportunities, powerful ministerial posts etc etc). Why would anyone kill themselves over the speaker position? Of all the 5 SE senate presidents (not even speakers), which of theses have brought tangible FG presence to the region? There is still massive erosion, neglect and fvckup everywhere. Even most of the ND is not as fvcked up as certain parts of the East, but it is not because we have ever had a speaker or senate president, rather it is because of the FG. Those posts can do fvckall. There is no political colosus in the SE, that is why this ugly state of affairs can exist. That is the where the real problem is, we need people like Chime, Rochas, Ngige etc to rise above local politics and take on the mantle of wider leadership. If not for the leadership void, we wouldn't be hearing of Ohaneze in a tussle for the speaker position, its not their place at all; the fact that they are the main proponents of the SE speaker, while top SE political representatives at zoning meetings have a totally different take, only speaks of the need for a hierachy of giants through whom the peoples interests can be channelled in unity. It is my prayer that GEJ can help build up a worthy fellow to take on the reigns of SE leadership. It is an urgent task IMHO, that vacuum has been created by years of neglect and needs to be patched. |

Beaf, you speak for yourself. Your Jonathan is burning a bridge with the South-East even though we gave him a chance. When the Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani told him no, we stood by him and lent him our support. Now that he is in power, he thinks he can forget us. Hell no! We Igbos have suffered way too many insults for our liking. Enough is enough! We tried to be friends, but it seems that Nigerians only understand force. OBJ is his friend, now let him make his deals with that man. Plus the silence of 'South-South' politicians makes me angry. Mtchew! |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Chyz2: 6:06am On May 15, 2011 |
Beaf: With the likes of OBJ around, it only makes things worst for him. “We were the founding members of PDP and all zoning arrangements were aimed at ensuring fairness and to create a sense of belonging. It is not to kill some people. So the issue of keeping that position secret is not in the best interest of our people. You do not keep people guessing when things are absolutely going wrong,” Ngige said. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by ektbear: 6:10am On May 15, 2011 |
What I don't understand about all of this. . . did your leaders not have a deal on the table before they decided to support GEJ? From what I'm hearing, it looks like the ACN got some sort of agreement. Why didn't your leaders do the same? How do you give away something valuable w/o negotiating first? |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by EzeUche2(m): 6:22am On May 15, 2011 |
True Igbos do not make idle threats. You backstab us, then PDP is no more. It is as simple as that. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by EzeUche2(m): 6:27am On May 15, 2011 |
As some one stated: Terrible injustice, unfairness and unacceptable permutation. Judging from the performance in the election southeast should have the senate president and if they even go down to speaker, they should be praised for understanding. To deny them the speaker again is unacceptable. Course of action: the senate should reject this manipulation and elect their officers based on merit and justification. It is satanic to give the position of the speaker to the southwest wih less than 6 house members. We failed to learn that Obj has been rejected in our political scene and it is only the PDP that still make him relevant. They should keep him there for as far as Nigerian is concerned he has been consigned into history. If GEJ wants to succeed and leave any form of legacy behind, he should reject any counsel from Obj. Let fairness, justice and equity prevail in all our dealings and the peace of God will be our national portion. God bless Nigeria. |

Cpc will be a better choice for the ibos.Whenever they lost out,they begin to shout marginalization.Imagine ibo complaining that a minority group is dealing with them ? |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Chyz2: 6:30am On May 15, 2011 |
^^^Ignore. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Beaf: 6:30am On May 15, 2011 |
EzeUche_: You really have a way with hysterics sha! LOLZ! I bet people like you enjoy being the underdog, and hate it when the opportunity is there to pluck the juiciest fruits. SS politicians will say nothing (and they are very right to do that), cos nobody is being shafted, exept the few that imagine it in their heads. Only a fool would say GEJ hasn't committed to the SE and delivered tangible goods in a few short months that no speaker can ever deliver. But I guess there is orgasmic joy in hysterics, so keep the shriek at the highest decibels; maybe the girl across the street will find it attractive or it will achieve some other intangible psychedelic result. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by ektbear: 6:30am On May 15, 2011 |
Again, was there an agreement on the table or something? If not, how do you give away support w/o asking for something very specific in return? If they gave away the cow w/o asking for something back, then whose fault is that? edit: typo |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Nobody: 6:32am On May 15, 2011 |
EzeUche_: Will it be angelic to give same to the ibos ? You guys are only claiming the speaker thing because you rigged for jonathan.if on merit the yoruba pdp reps happen to be better than their ibo counterpart,will you still deny them the sit because their region didn't vote pdp ? |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Chyz2: 6:35am On May 15, 2011 |
If the PDP is retaining the "current zoning of office positions" then why are they giving the SGF to the SE. Isn't the current SGF, along with his deputy, from the NE? Since that is the case, then it is clear that discrimination is taking place. It is clear that they are hold particular spots for certain zones. There is no such thing as PDP retaining the current zoning arrangements. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Beaf: 6:36am On May 15, 2011 |
Chyz*: Dude, nothing is going wrong. SE representatives at PDP meetings are absolutely not campaigning for the speaker position, that fight seems to be led by Ohaneze which has no representation within PDP, but is powerful to the man on the street. Like I pointed out, there is a gap in political leadership. The SE needs a giant through whom they can channel their needs, so confusion like this never arises again. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by ektbear: 6:37am On May 15, 2011 |
It appears that my question will never be answered. Still trying to figure out how it makes sense to give away the cow and then negotiate the price of it after the buyer has already eaten it. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Beaf: 6:37am On May 15, 2011 |
I believe that some Ohaneze members are lobbying for certain things, thats why the confusion. Its normal. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Chyz2: 6:43am On May 15, 2011 |
Beaf: @bolded, re-read the article. As for ohanaeze, they can shove it. The Igbos can work with GJ from APGA. They do not need to be in PDP to get things done. The center(PDP) needs to be weakened as much as possible anyways. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Beaf: 6:52am On May 15, 2011 |
Chyz*: They are simply lobbying. I can assure you that the threat is as empty as the one from the NE. The NE threatened to use the overwhelming Northern NASS numbers to award themselves the Senate presidency, but they have since calmed down. Individual politicians are jockeying for their pockets, there is no need for the common man to carry their problems and sweat blood for them when there will be no personal gain. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by EzeUche2(m): 6:57am On May 15, 2011 |
Beaf, as long as OBJ continues to be involved in PDP and has Jonathan's ear, we the Ndigbo will not be respected. Jonathan has chosen to side with OBJ, and therefore must suffer the consequences from his betrayal. And there is nothing wrong with being the underdog. Watch out for our uppercut. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Chyz2: 7:09am On May 15, 2011 |
Beaf: I never believe the threats of SEasterners until they actually do it,which is a slim chance. Hope is always good though . If they do actually go through with it, what bad could that be for jonathan if he does everything right and fairly. If anything, a weakened PDP would kind of keep him on his toes a little, you don't agree? The best thing for Ndigbo right now is to start making the Word their bond,when it comes to consequences. APGA is the best bet, as far as political party, to be in. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Beaf: 7:16am On May 15, 2011 |
^ Nah, a regional party isn't the way to go or you leave yourselves at the mercy of outsiders from national parties. I'm sure there's a lot of great stuff coming the SE's way in the next 4 years. Its all about coming in from the cold and matching forward with natural political alliances. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Chyz2: 7:26am On May 15, 2011 |
Beaf: The problem is not jonathan per se, it's OBJ, along with the constant gang up on the SE. How do you expalin the claim of "Retaining the current zoning arrangement" when the SGF position is currently zoned to the NE but they are saying it's going to the SE. Sounds like a plot to me. |
Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by blacksta(m): 7:32am On May 15, 2011 |
Beaf: For somebody who has always advocated for true federalism - I am shocked incorrect - in the Nigerian context - regional parties are definitely the way forward. what has Nigerian gained from the last 12 years of national party. |

Re: Mass Defection From PDP Looms In South-East Over Zoning by Rhino5dm: 7:35am On May 15, 2011 |
Whenever i read GEJ will come to us begging. . . we gave him the support needed. . .blah blah The simple truth is that he bought the support from SE. When ohaneze were busy hovering and pastering him with 'your price tag' you kept mute. It's smack of double hypocricy for person to CRY after selling his right. Afteral how much will it cost him to buy bunch of red cap, white feathered pathetic looking loons to warrant this empty threats ? For info: GEJ is our president, we will defend him with all our lives and mights. . . .Don't push your luck harder, be warned! |
