DaudaAbu:


Word...

Exactly what okorocha is saying...

The igbos need either the North or the SW.

It easier for them to get SW than the north , jst as its harder for a northern politician to get SE (religious leaning maybe?)

Now by their agitation , the igbos are making it doubly hard to get support frm any of the other regions because they abuse every one that is not frm their region.

They also increase the amount of distrust between them and other regions. Ansd since democracy is a game of numbers, majority will continue to carry the day

Kano rigging no smell Akwa Ibom for 2015

fk001:



The north is majority Muslims, and you know that Muslims marry four wives, while south east is majority Christians with one or no wife. when you compare the the two regions base on their way of lives you know what the outcome will be.


Your point about that census is baseless.

I don't blame Rocha's okorocha,I blame those that voted him into power. the idiot is against ipob because he wants to become the next president after Buhari,no referendum, no election.

GrandFinale2017:
Of course we all know that the igbos are minorities.. The 2015 presidential elections buttresses the Hausas/Fulanis and the Yorubas as the Majority in this country that without their support then you're no way to go.
Though I'm a proud igbo man from AroChukwu in Abia state but let us tell ourselves the truth that we igbos need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs us

zionmade1:

Wats baseless about it?
how were the northern women and teenagers counted?
or did they push out their legs under their door to be counted.
i have lived in the north, let me pick up kaduna through kastina to zamfara, from kaduna -kastina border to where people live in kastina is about 3hrs while it takes 30minutes to leave where people stay to empty lands, from their to kastina -Zamfara border is about 4hrs
Meaning if land mass of the north(except kano) is about 1000km only about 100km has people living in it.
population in North was by exaggeration.

GrandFinale2017:
ok dummy let's go by Regions..
The North makes up 19 states (middlebelt inclusive).
The South west makes up 6 states.
The South South has 6 states.
While the South East has just 5 landlocked states.
All the states of SE combined with all the states of SS and Ekiti but still couldn't give GEJ a returning seat.
We Igbos don't count in politics, we are only good in commerce and trade. Whenever discussions on politics arises i think we igbos should keep quiet cos we are minorities

Who said Igbos are minority population in Nigeria? The only problem Igbos have in terms of Nigerian politics and election is this:

Around 48% of Igbo population live outside Southeast States….around 24% live in Lagos, 8% live in Southsouth, 4% live in other southwest states like Ogun, Ibadan, Ekiti, Ondo….while around 9% of Igbos live in the northern Nigeria.

Now out of the 48% of Igbos who live outside Igbo land, around 30% or more of them don’t have interest in Nigerian politics, so they don’t vote because they see it as a waste of time, they rather go about their business…….and out of the 55% population of Igbos living in the southeast, at least 25% don’t vote because they also feel less concerned about Nigerian politics.

But during election, every Hausa, Fulani man travel back to their northern states in trailers and 911 to go and vote…..its not as if their population is more than that of the Igbos. Lagos population is huge today, Igbos contribute at least 30% of Lagos population…if you doubt this, visit Ladipo spare parts market, Aladba International Market, Trade Fair/ASPAMDA markets, Sun Rise, Mandilas/Island, etc around 6pm when they close from market…..Igbos are the majority tribe in Lagos after Yoruba…..Igbos are the majority tribe in Kano after Hausa/Fulani, Igbos are in Jos after Plateau and Hausa/Fulani.

Igbos are among the majority tribes in Abuja.

And the two most populated cities in Nigeria are: Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Aba, etc and Igbos are among the majority population in these cities so how do these people come up with the warped figure that Igbos are minority in population in Nigeria

The problem Igbos have in Nigerian politics is that majority of Igbos don’t vote during national election because they have lost interest in Nigerian politics, not that Igbos don’t have population.

In the last 2015 presidential and governorship elections, Buhari and Ambode escaped loosing to GEJ and Jim Agbeje respectively due to Igbo people’s massive support for GEJ and Jim Agbaje and if majority of Igbos like me in Lagos came out all in mass like Hausa/Fulani and Yorubas did….believe me, GEJ and Agbaje would have won.

So what politicians should even be preaching to Igbos is for them to try and be coming out to vote…..if all Igbos vote, believe me, Hausa/Fulani forming population will look like a joke.

Hausa/Fulani aren’t that much….go to the north…empty lands with less humans but they use politics during census to increase their number and make it look like they are too many when in reality they are not. If you doubt, ask people who served NYSC in northern states.

zionmde:

shut ignorantum, igbos have equal population with hausas and yorubas, the entire igbos in SE is just about 60% of Igbo population.
Igbo+yoruba can win election
igbo+ hausa can win election
hausa.+ yoruba can win election
so shut up if u know nothing

rexbuton:
there is a vicious attack on fact based discussion these days on Nigerian fora... we deliberately deceive ourselves just to feed our ego and sentiments.

take it or leave it, the North only need one of SW/SS/SE to win elections. It would be difficult for SS and SE and SW to combine and win the north in an election, except with near total mobilization of voters. the. north knows this and that's why recently they launched house to house child registration. they are planning ahead. Another advantage they have is being contiguous with lesser developed Islamic countries, majority of whose population come to Nigeria for trade and to seek greener pastures , and the borders are relatively porous.
in the south on the other hand, Nigerian - Cameroonian relations are not cordial, and the borders are tightly manned. it is tempting to think that our poor relations with them may have been planned after all. Fulani from northern Cameroon enter Nigeria freely, even benefiting from our healthcare system. the Atlantic ocean is another border country, hopefully they could lend us some mer-people for elections.

in summary, the north has an unfair advantage, the Yoruba use diplomacy and the ability to influence public opinion , as tools in compensating for their numerical disadvantage. the east on the other hand loves to play opposition and she is very very poor at playing opposition. The time has come to restrategize and look inwards

We Igbos don't count in politics and not minorities in terms of population
SW and SS cannot win election against SE and north, north and SS cannot win election against SE and SW so SE and SS cannot win an election

For population maybe u havnt been to the north before, if u have gone there u will notice two things
1. census was exaggerated as most women were not counted, they just came up with values to oppress other regions
2.millions of igbos in the north were counted as northerners.
so next time u want to make a comment do that with caution, u dont just come out with empty brains to say Igbos are minorities

Mr Man, Keep Quiet. The Only Human Being That Has A Chance Of Ruling Nigeria From The South-east Is Rochas. And I Hope U Knw Ur Votes Are Insignificant?

ezegenigbonine:


But we all knw that Hausa's doesn't go to school. Imagine my friend serving in the north says that the school that they were posted have one pupil in ss3, then 3 pupil in ss2. They rule by population not by education. That's why they don't want the Igbo's to go, imagine (in finance losing okonjo iweala, soludo, ezekwesili etc), (in football losing Mikel, iwobi, iheanacho, onazi,echiejile, etc), ( losing Igbo businesses etc), (losing chimamanda adichie, chiwetalu Ejiofor, Chika obi) ( loosing all the nollywood actors n actress) etc (loosing all the oil blocks) (loosing all the corpers that help as doctors, nurses, teachers from the east) is it possible.

fatadis:
I would like the core IPOB supporters in the house to answer the following questions.

1. What's the contribution of South Eastern States to Federation account. 2014- 2016

2. What's the Internally Generated Revenue figures for all South East States in the last 3 years 2014- 2016.

3. How did Kanu intends to fund the Biafra State.

4. What's Kanu's plan on importation of goods and services to Biafra State.

I am a student of international politics, I don't want a repetition of South Sudan case in Nigeria.

A simple collection of datas on those questions above will tell any reasonable person that South East needs Nigeria more than any other region based on datas available.
