| Igbos Cannot Produce The Next President Of Nigeria by Orikinla(m): 7:27pm On Jun 10, 2012 |
It is a political fact that the Igbos cannot produce the next President of Nigeria. Because, they have failed to prove themselves in political leadership since the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. And nobody should drop the name of the late Biafran warlord, Ikemba Ojukwu on this important topic. Leading a rebellion is different from leading a nation. And he even failed at that, because of his poor knowledge of political leadership. Biafra was already oppressing the people from the South-south region even before the second year of the uncivil war. My mother told me how they went on combing raids in Akwa Ibom and the environs to attack those they accused of being saboteaurs. Ojukwu failed to command the respect of non-Igbos in the South-south region. Moreover, corruption was rampant in the Biafran government. Thank God for the divine intervention that ended the ill-fated rebellion. Only fools go to a war they cannot win. I am sure Ojukwu never read Sun Tzu's "Art of War". Presently, there is no Igbo leader that can even command national respect across Nigeria. They have even failed in the leadership of their fellow Igbos in the South-eastern states. They have lost their respect and that is why Igbo kidnappers and armed robbers are tormenting their fellow Igbos and even the Lion of Biafra, Ojukwu failed to stop them when he was alive and well. He retired to his bedroom where he had more command. The whole region is being governed by under achievers, except for Governor Peter Obi, but he lacks the commanding charisma and power of a political leader. He would have fared better as a commissioner. Those in the Senate would be better as state governors. They seemed more interested in their titular roles as local champions. Dr. Chris Ngige would prefer to be Senate President and that would be the best the Igbos may get in 2015. Look at the leadership of the so called MASSOB being harassed like school boys by the Nigerian Army. What the Nigerian Army cannot dare to do to the Niger Delta militants and Boko Haram. The leader of MASSOB is an apology to political leadership. He is not even articulate. And he is a lawyer? He is pathetic. Those who can be national leaders are not interested in contesting for the highest office. And the President they claimed to be one of their own Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has disappointed them all. He is overwhelmed by the challenges of national leadership he was not prepared for. Thanks to their Boss of all Bosses, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who preferred those he could manipulate to succeed him. The Igbos claim to be hard working and intelligent people, but they are not as smart as the Yorubas. Aggression is not power, but lack of self-control. They need to study the political common sense of Senator Bola Tinubu who rose from being an ambitious state governor to the national leader of the Main Opposition. Tinubu does not boast of intellectual skills or even revolutionary bravery, but he is very smart in political leadership. I have been watching him for over a decade now and I know him more than he knows me. Tinubu should write a book on his Political Common Sense. Nigerians and students of Political Science need to study Tinubu. He is even faring better than the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the greatest political leader of the Yorubas since Oduduwa. Tinubu is the smartest Yoruba political leader since Nigeria became an independent nation. His protege, Barrister Babatunde Raji Fashola, the present Governor of Lagos State needs to learn more from Tinubu's Political Common Sense. My reference to Tinubu is for the benefit of the Igbo political leaders who are more politically confused than the Hausa political leaders. But the Hausas can still produce the next President of Nigeria if the Senate President David Mark is not going to contest . The political leaders of the Igbos need to put their house in order. I recommend that they should study Sun Tzu's "Art of War" and the Political Common Sense of Bola Tinubu and if they like, also read my book on Nigeria, "In the House of Dogs" which combines lessons from the Holy Bible, "Art of War" and "48 Laws of Power" to address the situation in Nigeria. God help the Igbos and God help Nigeria. 1 Like |

Oriki, Good post!! I agree Tinubu is savvy but I differ with you on making him the smartest Yoruba politician. There is a gap in our democracy and we are not faced with a true and challenging political landscape one expects in a buoyant and progressive system. Given that, Tinubu is hawk-eyed. . . take it literally if you want! He sees what his contemporaries fail to see and so he fills in the gap for them and sets the pace. I commend his vision and successes! Having said that, Igbo is a wrong political majority in Nigeria, period! Ijaw, a creek habitat people, are more politically savvy than the Igbos and would have been a better third leg of the stool, as an Eastern majority, when the regions were established. I don't know what happened that the Kalabari, Ibibios and Efiks were skipped in preference for Igbo, but we see so far how much the Igbo country has become the victim of its own political subordination. |

Ojukwu failed to command the respect of non-Igbos in the South-south region. This is the part I totally disagree with you. Much of what is written is a propaganda of divide and rule. There were those who were for and against the war both in SS and SE. Those against the war were treated equally both in SS and SE but the FG controlled press seem to make it seem like all the SS were against the war and Southeasterners were killing them. My mother is from Rivers and my Grandfather and Uncles fought on the Biafran side. Some other families fought for the Federal while some fought briefly on both sides. Skip that part and I will agree with you. |

@@@@ another nonesense post still at it u have criminal clan looting ever since jesus was born masqurading their uselessness as politicians i will never buy any of that bulls from anybody till we the ndi igbo start to see people like Soyinka in charge of things nothing more or less will ever make sense. Imagine a country that was not that far  some of them still spend plenty time talking about gatdamn luminatti fuks know what; when we have hausa and Yoruba criminals destroying the country softly tell me at this 21st century billion gone missing like they say who believe them anyway with no trace  as for tinubu ur hero hahha he hasnt got a chioce; we all gona die one day and he knows that haha he is trying to impress but it has never been good enuff and the ball is still in his court; some might wonder isnt the same buhari that was once up there still the north was left unchanged, has finally turn to a wild tiger; the same man that could not critise boko fools directly without alluding to arm rubber in the south in the pretence both should be given precedence; interesting!! indeed! Nevertheless if we gona have igboman in the charge the average ndi igbo would only be interested in these 1; upgrade all the major highways to solid state 2; have onitsha see sea running 3; upgrade enugu to internatonal standard 4;restructure the army etc after that haha i can guaratine the igbo wouldnt care again as against the ususal looters from the other side  now could it be said the NIGERIANS are scared and jealous of the igbos and couldnt afford to give them chance; opps like the say the igboman will split the country |

Tinubu's gamble has to been seen in 2 perpectives 1. Tinubu succeeds and Buhari wins , the SW ends up getting the Vee Pee with other deliverables that comes with winning elections , problem will arise because Buhari being a forthright man can never condone indiscipline and corruption of any kind and there will be so much disagreement and faceoffs over punisment of corrupt fellows. 2. if Tinubu fails he would have dragged yorubas back by 20 years because yorubas cannot even get any major post in the new pdp government with the NW taking both their post and the slot meant for yorubas asthey did in 2012. Officially i accept that igbos are the only Majority tribe that is a political minority and an Economic Super Power, however igbos can forge strong alliances with the SS and MB to brighten their political outlook, no section of the contry has it all except for the SS/Nigerdelta which has come of age politically and has economic , militant, political power at the same time. The Core north is no longer a political super power and is hangng on to any thing they can hold on to remain afloat as a politial entity, The core north is also not an economic power but has strong militant power. The SW situation can be be understood from the point of View that the play host the nations economic powers which gives them the feeling of being an economic power where as they are just a host(The type of feeling one gets when he is hosting a very rich persona or is living in a rich neighbourhood) . The same happens to political power of the SW who benefit most when the north had to abandon power on 2 occasions in 1976 and 1999. further analysis of what might happens in 2015 elections is shown below Tinubu and Buhari (=18 states) can control 5 SW sates + kebbi, katsina,sokoto,zamfara,kano,Jigawa,Niger,Kwara, Nassarawa,Yobe,Borno,Bauchi,Gombe Jonathan (=18 + Abuja states) can get All SS + All SE + kaduna + Benue + plateau + Adamawa + Taraba + Kogi + lagos (igbos + Nigerdelta) + Abuja It will be a tough political battle with many casualties however if Jonathan ever shining luck shines again, Yorubas would have consigned them selves to permanently to Nigeria's Political wilderness which will be difficult considering the fact that Buhari is olad and can never be replaced by El-rufai and co. |

God help the Igbos and God help Nigeria. You come as an attention seeking cow. How in this world did Biafra treat the people of the SS bad? Vice President of Biafra------Effiong Sec of Biafra-------Akpan Ogonis were pro-Biafra and also pro Nigeria, likewise the Ijaws and the kalabaris, their allegiance were divided. The whole of the calabar supported Biafra except for few likewise few Igbos Half of Kalabari fought for Biafra Where the hell did you get that stuppoid lies from? Like I said you are a lost f00l and an attention seeking hediot. Tell me who the leader of the North, the middlebelt and the SW is? I dey wait. 4 Likes |

You are nitpicking it narrowly. Respected, smartest, confident, solid, favorite,. . . these are all narrow definitions! My point is Tinubu is politically savvy but that's inherent amongst Yoruba politicians. . . it's a cultural thing and not individual. Our smartest politician will have a do or die attitude about Yoruba commonwealth, an attribute that Tinubu does not possess. |

Yeske!: I don't know why forumites like you cannot disagree with another person's post without becoming verbally abusive all because the person expressed an opinion you don't agree with. Most Nigerians are just too abusive, its very irritating to say the least  @Post With the way things are going in Nigeria, this is not the time to start thinking of where the presidency will be coming from. Anyone who is capable of leading Nigeria in the right direction should be voted in. I remember Nigerians voting in GEJ in droves because he was a southerner and look where that has gotten us to now. If an Igbo president can lead Nigeria in the right direction fine. If it is a Nigerian from another region, fine as well. I don't care which region the president comes from. I just want him to do his job and do it well. |
