This same report has been emerging across some newspapers in recent days. Orji Uzor Kalu seems to be working hard to push this narrative. If the APC dares bite the bait, that’ll enthrone a principality in the SE. Kalu’s game is to use it as a pedestal to contest for the presidency in 2027. Before then, he’ll use the Senate to give the new administration serious problems, because he’s always assumed he’s bigger than Tinubu.

Even then, the SE will still not vote for APC when the next election cycle begins - it’ll still be PDP/APGA/LP for them.

Please concentrate on the SS where a loyal base is gradually growing for the APC and Progressives.

If APC gives all its positions to the SE, they’ll still show as much hate to it as possible so, what’s the point?

The new Administration can give the Deputy Speakership to the SE and then compensate it with such offices as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

Let there also be very visible Southeasterners in the Presidency, such as Media Adviser, etc. tell them to only come to work in their native outfits.

What the SE actually needs is for the new government to work very hard to solve its infrastructural problems, employ its youths and facilitate a good environment for the promotion of commerce! If government can do this and win their youths over at the grassroots level, it’ll be difficult for hate organisations to make any more headway there.

This would b their biggest mistake
because how do you compensate the North for their dedication?
This better not be true let Ahmed lawan continue.
Giving SE senate position won't change their mind. They just hate Tinubu/SW politicains/APC.

Give them clerk position for House of Assembly 🤓

Igbos will not get it. Mark my words. Igbos will not get anything in this administration.

The next Senate President is Akpabio

kettykin:
Igbos definitely don't need this ,if we survived buhari with no Igbos in the first 10 positions, we will survive this.

Igbos should avoid this trap

For your mind, it is a trap to involve the Southeast in government abi?

You mean if Igbo should clinch the presidency, it will be an all igbo affairs?

This is the main reason other Nigerians have been careful to support Igbo presidency.

This Obicraze era is the last time an Igbo person will smell an opportunity at the presidency.

You can take this to the bank!

PrinceOfLagos:
Dem wan beg south east people

We have humiliated you severally, we do not need to beg you, instead you are the ones begging to survive.

We the APC disgraced you at the primary. PDP humiliated you at their own primary, and at the general election, we totally annihilate you. So, you are currently suffocating

Only if Chimaroke Nnamani wins his Senate bid should the SE be given the Senate President. If not SS or a Christian from NC should take it.
I trust Tinubu on this...nobody can dictate nonsense to him. He's different from Bubu.

ejifranks:
The SP office is of no benefit whatsoever to any region that produces it. Na normal settlement things for loyal party members.
South east won the presidency through LPand that is what they will get.

So it was a south eastern agenda you people were pursuing all along? But you'll be the first to label others bigots.

Zeezenho:


Urchin current yoruba speaker and house member how did that change your life,are you not still poor and miserable?

Buhary 8 years does it reduce almajeri from the north?

Igbo 8 years outside apc government are they not waxing stronger.bro grace too much on omo Igbo,noting your envy,jealousy nor 1 billion tinubus can do about that.

Your region is barren and unproductive. Your people are refugees in other regions. 9 of 10 drug traffickers arrested or prosecuted in India and other countries are igbos. Your region has the worst governors in history of Nigeria.

I can always go on and on Nwanne

funshint:
Only if Chimaroke Nnamani wins his Senate bid should the SE be given the Senate President. If not SS or a Christian from NC should take it.

Yes, Orji Uzor Kalu the useless former state governor queued behind Ahmad Lawan to fight Tinubu instead of the idiot coming out to contest against Tinubu. Useless coward.

Pls give us Dave umahi

First timer cannot be Senate President according to the Senate rules

Dannyset:


To be truthful, those who play politics of hatred and bitterness don't need to be placated or rewarded. Hatred has to good reward.

They really do not deserve a position like this in national politics, but knowing who Asiwaju is, they will be carried along.

You guys are really funny. It's only the politicians that are the beneficiaries not the average man on the street

This guys still don't want to learn

PrinceOfLagos:

https://guardian.ng/news/senate-presidency-apc-tips-south-east/

It is tenable now because 6 senators is an improvement and those who worked for it need to be motivated.

It is just that the NC may deserve it more if you go by how hard they worked for the APC victory. Asiwaju Presidency needs to balance it too. If the NC had not worked hard for the victory, APC will not be talking about tripod. People of Benue in particular deserve it most. SE can be given the Deputy senate seat.

What we want is for the stolen mandate to be returned simple,so that we can start rebuilding this nation.

Asiwaju is still dreaming to be sworn in?
Like he is not seeing what is happening around....
Nigerians have lost faith in inec and elections conducted by inec...
Inec under manhood is working in favour of apc...
A supposed electoral umpire.

SW deserves it more7

You better get used to it ordinary Osun election tribunal sef dem still never finish am almost getting to a year. You Sabi how many years Presidential tribunal go take? .
And let me tell you another thing what Obi is doing is purely an "academic exercise".

IyaebeTheGreat:
Asiwaju a very generous man with a big heart , if you hate him that’s when he will bombard you with loads of love. He is not vengeful, he doesn’t witch-hunt, the few people that hate this man Asiwaju have no genuine reason to do so.

How can someone steal your bag of Rice and give you 4 cups of rice from it? And you call that generosity?

He's not yet The president, that certificate of return will be returned.

Please tell me:

Who is the most wicked man in Nigeria

Go to court please

PrinceOfLagos:

Stop talking nonsense

Did you not read where I wrote that the stolen mandate must be returned ?

Which mandate did dot-in-a-circle possess.

*The crime of that tribe must be so great.*

In 1966: Nearly 1,000,000 of them were massacred in the North as revenge killings for a coup that was plotted by a young man that bears their name but had never been to their land.

They escaped back to their homeland and wanted a country of their own, but they were told that they must belong to one indivisible Nigeria

For three years, they resisted and lost another 3,000,000 of their kith and kin were fed to the vultures. Their entire homeland was a killing field, they were killed, and they were starved. Kwashiorkor finished up their starving children. Many of their wives and daughters were raped and some were taken into forced marriages.

After three years of annihilation, the genocide ended. The few that were still alive crept out of their holes and reembraced the country that has massacred them without a just cause.

To return to the country, they were economically stripped of their remaining dignity and offered only ₦40 each in exchange for their money...millionaires before the war restarted life with ₦40. They did not complain, they accepted their fate and reintegrated with all.

Within a short while, the country embarked on an indigenization policy which enabled many of their South Western, South-South and Northern brothers to buy up major multi-nationals at a giveaway price...with ₦40 in their pockets, they could only watch.... those that owned houses in the big cities lost their homes to the criminal policy of 'Abandoned property' as enacted by some states aimed at committing official stealing.

In the civil service, the policy of the quota system made it impossible for many of them to be accepted back into their former jobs...In trying to get a quality education for their children; the policy of giving admission to children from educationally disadvantaged states, saw their children score so high at entrance exams but locked out from most of the Federal Government Colleges and universities; even though they were coming from war, they were still categorized as educationally advantaged. 53 years after the war, the educationally disadvantaged states are still educationally disadvantaged and the Igbos are still blamed for everything and denied major government presence and projects.

Locked out of schools and locked out of public service, they embraced trading and other menial jobs that a man could do with his hands to feed his family. To survive, they spread out again to the big cities with memories of their dead ones and rundown homeland.

Everywhere they went, they lived frugally, sometimes, a master lived in his shop with his 5 boys until they made enough money to rent a one-room apartment.

Of all their brothers, the Yorubas were the most accommodating after the war and this made many of them quickly forget the pains of the war and settled down to play major roles in the development of the communities, in which they found themselves.

In their host communities, they never looked back in donating towards the building of schools, churches and whatever was required...Some even married the daughters of their hosts and some took titles. At drinking bars, you find Jide and Emeka drinking and laughing. At school, you find Ebube and Bisola reading and playing together as best of friends.

Soon, at the turn of the 90s, many of their town unions encouraged them to completely trust their hosts and join hands in opening up areas that were hitherto, uninhabited, especially the swamps and the mangroves....they bought swamps and the term 'sand filling' became popular, they bought thick mangrove forests and in mowing them down, they became Osuofia and the money coming from them, made their hosts happy because most of the places they bought and transformed had laid waste for years.

With vigour, they negotiated for lands to build markets, cleared the lands and built the markets and were happy to welcome state and local government tax and rate officials. If you slap them on one cheek, they gladly turned the other with a smile. When they build houses, they trust everything to their Yoruba builders and even in their homeland, all their building projects were done by the Yoruba boys they have come to love and trust.


Then...
1999 came....all celebrated the re-emergence of democracy…
but gradually, a new anti-Igbo message started, but they ignored it because they have completely fallen in love with their host...

In 2014.....
The divisive politicians showed up in their numbers and made them; the Igbos the sacrificial lamb all over again...

Someone wrote somewhere and I agree with him completely that:
In 1993, the Igbos voted Abiola against Tofa who had an Igbo as Vice-President…

In 1999, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo en-block

Obasanjo is Yoruba

Obasanjo lost Yorubaland but scored 85%+ in Igbo land

In 2003, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo

Obasanjo scored 95% in some Igbo states

Obasanjo defeated Ojukwu in Igbo land.

In 2007, the Igbos voted for Yaradua

Yaradua was Hausa-Fulani

Yaradua scored his highest percentage of votes in Igbo land

In 2011, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan is Ijaw

Jonathan scored 95%+ in Igbo land

In 2015, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan scored a higher percentage in Igbo land that in the South-South Region

In 2019, the Igbos voted for Atiku

Atiku is Fulani

Atiku scored a higher percentage in Anambra than Adamawa

In 2023, the Igbos voted for Obi

Obi is Igbo

Once the Igbos voted Obi they became ethnic-bigots

Once the Igbo gave Obi what they had given to Shagari, Abiola, Obasanjo, Ya' Ardua, Jonathan and Atiku, Igbos became criminals.

My heart is very heavy as I pen down these few lines because I smell another pogrom aimed at Igbos loading and I can't see anyone stopping the genocidal messages spreading on many South-West and other platforms... People are speaking of the coming Governorship election in Lagos on Saturday 11th March 2023 which has been shifted to 18th March 2023 as if it is a day that has been marked as D-Day for something very cold and un-Lagos.
And I ask again, what is the crime of the Igbos?
Some said Igbos claim to own Lagos and I laugh, someone who owns a place is buying land and paying tax and rents in the same place?
I am that ‘Kwashiorkored’ Igbo child (now 54) born in the war that you are trying to retrigger.

funshint:

WE MOVE....

PrinceOfLagos:

Stop talking nonsense

Did you not read where I wrote that the stolen mandate must be returned ?

You're inconsequential.

I expect you to be dancing now that 92% of the presidential election results are now uploaded on INEC portal but you're not bcoz you can see where your Obi stand.

Hoped they will be united to present a candidate that will be able to convince other minority members from the SE?

kettykin:
Igbos definitely don't need this ,if we survived buhari with no Igbos in the first 10 positions, we will survive this.

Igbos should avoid this trap

Who's begging you?

Tinubu is a believer of fairness and if you don't want then we give it to south south and Akpabio would gladly take it.

PointB:
LP will give SW Senate Presidency when the dust settles.

No need to rush. Everyone should calm down, especially the riggers.

especially the riggers??

Haha

PrinceOfLagos:
Tinubu stole the peoples mandate and until he return it that peace will reign in his disturbed life

Which ppl? South eastern ppl?

That's 5% of hundred. It counts for nothing.
