"When you go to Rome, behave like the Romans" is a popular saying, and until the Igbos of Nigeria understand how to behave like their neighbours, how to play the Nigerian brand of politics, they cannot dominate the political space like they have done in other fields. The Igbos are a very ambitious, very talented and industrious set of people who have proven to themselves how efficient their positive drive can be. 

But Nigerian politics is dirty, filled with the scums of society rather than the best of achievers. That is why the Igbos need to change their tactics. The most popular attraction to Nigerian politics is not a desire to solve societal problems, but a way to worsen it, as long as you benefit from the chaos, while you drop crumbs to your cronies who help you loot. Nigeria is practising lootocracy as a system of government.

It will be better if the Igbos throw reason out of the window and start voting with their greed, rather than rational reasoning. Afterall, every other person does it. 

For the love of Mike, how did the Igbos end up voting a better and more educated Jonathan, rather than a Buahri who we all know is no good. The best thing was for the Igbos to abandon Jonathan when it seems clear he will lose, jump into the doomed wagon of Buahri and vote like all the other mad men. And if the governors of the SE are all PDP, they can hold a meeting and change to APC overnight, all five states!

We should play amala and ewedu politics, jump onto the bandwagon and scream sai baba so loud that the original chanters will be afraid, and drop their microphones for us to take over, arrive APC meeting before others and flow with the tide, even if the tide is sweeping the whole country into the sea, don't worry, we won't die first. 

We should start praising all the mistakes of APC, tell them they are the best and massage their bloated ego till the whole country falls into where its destined to fall into. Igbos should await the next election with greed in their eyes, vote for the worst candidates, as long as you think he will win, damn the consequences, and if the shiitt hits the ceiling fan, don't bother to duck. We cannot lose more than others.

Remember, "When you go to Rome, behave like the Romans"

Now that is a classic.
Can you do a sequel or 2 to the above?
The Machiavellian ideas and the way you presented is soooo smooth.
But remember, who sets the ball rolling? Who makes the rules?
You're basically advocating for Igbos to wait until others make a move and then they jump in.
Even as a street brawler, you quickly loose cred with that approach.
Obasanjo has never been vilified for the Land Use Act till today, and I can bet you if that act is repealed, most states will experience
an economic renaissance.
Most Nigerians are blissfully unaware of the officially mandated looting embedded in their laws.
How about coming up with one or two sure fire moves to take the looting to the next level?
Say, why stop at a certain derivation percentage or pretend not to notice the president should have no business going on medical leave abroad!
Why not build a Presidential Clinic in London, you know for those rare occasions when the president needs to check the temperature of his left ear lobe?
And then you can push for amendments to the budget for Senatorial Clinics spread across Europe too, you know exclusively for senators
so they can go xray their tonsils after the exhausting house sessions.



PS: It's sad that Nigerian politicians in particular and Africans in general fit into the mold you just described.
I have always wondered if they had something against the concept of bettering the lives of their citizens.

No need replying you, ma nnigga, it wont lead us anywhere. But take this from me, Ndi Anambra are also proud Igbo just like me. Go through my post history and quote me anywhere berating fellow Igbos. You are not the only one who has accused me of such but there is no proof of that because it doesn't exist. And if I want to dress people down I will do it even in their faces ma kwelu dike!

And I really dont need to attack anybody to feel important, it comes from within. I feel privileged to be onye Anambra and if that makes me a supremacist SO BE IT. And I will not reply you again because your hate for Igbos just like your fellow tribes men will never allow you to see the light. Its takes a brave mind to see the light ,accept what they saw and face reality. Attacking people without any tangible reason is a waste of my time.

pazienza:


Twice, he ran with Igbo VPs.
In 2003, he ran with Chuba Okadigbo as his VP, but we didn't even look his way, we had our head deep down PDP ass to look towards him.

In 2007, yet again, he ran with an Igbo VP with Ogbonnaya onu. Yet we chose to vote PDP, who snubbed us, by offering the VP to SS, on Edwin Clark insistence and vocal display of Igbophobia towards Odili.


Put yourself in Buhari shoes for once. Buhari is no saint, but we haven't been fair to him as well. He is a human being after all.

I think it's time we toned down on this Buhari hate. It's becoming senseless. Buhari is not the devil.
Even the devil, people still reach compromise with the devil.

This is the reason why the only party I support is APGA. I don't support PDP nor APC, all I look for is the interest of our people. But since these two parties control the central, it becomes wise to think strategically before weighing our options.
Ojukwu uplifted APGA so that we can have our own party, but he was always open to welcoming all opposing views who come visiting his Enugu home. When Ojukwu was alive both Yar'adua and Buhari were given a hospitable welcome, none was chased away and non was castigated even though they were both seeking Igbo votes for their Presidential ambition in 2007. Ojukwu was tact and different from the fools who couldn't even give Buhari an atom of courtesy when he visited the east to campaign in 2015. No venue was lease to him, not even a meeting with Ohaneze to tell them his plans. Even though you know that you weren't for him, courtesy demand you give him an opportunity to air his views.
But I don't want to be talking about this, because it's now in the past. But we should learn from this and play the game with charisma. I only pray the SE leaders get it right and do away with the local champion politics they played in 2015. No party should take us for granted anymore.

Your blood dey hot o!
Take it easy.
But you have valid points. We can yet broker a deal with APC if need be.
Saraki is off to PDP, so I reckon the Senate presidency is vacant at APC as it stands, we can go for that.
We can also extract other juicy ministerial appointment positions and head of important Federal parastatals from him.
Positions like CBN governor wouldn't be bad, since Soludo left, we haven't tasted the position again, Yes! Emefiele is Ika and not Igbo,i haven't seen him ever address himself as an Igbo man.
Bottomline is that we must not let PDP continue to treat us like this and go Scot free.

We were all here when Ekwueme was forced to give way for OBJ, when his Yoruba people did next to nothing for PDP. We were here too when GEJ was projected ahead of us in 2007. Now we are being asked to give way for SW again, when all their states are controlled by APC.

It's time we re evaluated our relationship with PDP,its becoming a parasitic One to Ndiigbo, and we can't keep silent on it anylonger.
Any interests that seek to undermine Igbo interests, no matter how good it portends to the rest of Nigeria, is not an Igbo interest and must not receive our blessings.

I'm just seeing this now. Nwanne ezi okwu ezi okwu obara m na acha oku ebe parti ndi pdp no. Especially when I think about how we sacrificed our all for them for 20 years and yet we are made to beg for scrubs.

Dr Ngene wins NLNG’s $100,000 Science Prize

Nigerian scientist Dr Peter Ngene has won the $100, 000 Nigeria Prize for Science for his “evolutionary” work in “Nanostructured metal hydrides for the storage of electric power from renewable energy sources and for explosion prevention in high voltage power transformers.”

The Advisory Board of the Nigeria Prize for Science, sponsored by the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas announced Dr Ngene winner of the prize at a press conference in Lagos.

Chairman of the advisory board and a science prize laureate, Prof. Akpoveta Susu, said Ngene’s work is a new type of energy storage with implications on renewable energy development. The work also contributes to surmounting challenges in Nigeria around power transformers explosions due to degradation of insulators in the transformers.

Ngene is an assistant professor in the Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis group of the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science, Utrecht University in The Netherlands. He is the recipient of the prestigious KNCV (The Royal Dutch Chemical Association) Van Arkel best PhD thesis (2012/2013) award, and the chair of the 2013 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Metal-Hydrogen system in Italy. He was also recently recognised as one of African leading young scientists by the award of the prestigious NEF (Next Einstein Forum) fellowship by the Chairman of the African Union (President Paul Kagame).

Reacting to the verdict, the Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Department at NLNG, Andy Odeh, said, “This work by Ngene can be one of the keys to the renewable energy jigsaw. We believe this is an opportunity to secure a niche market in Nigeria for energy storage, riding on the back on this new type of batteries developed from the synthesis of nanostructured composite materials used as solid state electrolyte. This award shows how NLNG is helping to build a better Nigeria,” Odeh added.

The decision on the winning entry of The Nigeria Prize for Science was reached by a panel of judges, led by Professor Francis Oluwole, a professor of Physics. Other members of the panel are Professor Onyemaechi Ekechukwu and Professor Abubakar Sani Sambo.

pazienza:


Let me tell you. You are not more expansionist oriented than me.
You can go through my post history here, you will see there were times in not so distant past I held exact same opinion as you currently do.
But we all eventually learn with time, if we are open minded enough.

See, political problems aren't different from mathematics.
In maths, you start from the known to the unknown.

But what you lots have been trying to do is the exact opposite. You haven't taken cognizance of the known values, but you are too fixated on the unknown, that you forget that you can only possess the unknown, after you have appreciated and made use of the known.

See, the known in Igbo political calculation is SE and Obigbo.
The unknown are all those you fancy idea of how to get Igbanke( Edo) , Anioma (Delta) Isobo(in Obubra Cross River), Umuezekoha clan (Benue), Ikwerre, Etche, Ogba, Ndoni (Rivers) . Bonny and Opobo ( Coastal Ijaw-Igbo hybrid) , back to the known, which is SE.

You are not seeing the bigger picture that those of us who are insisting we focus on the known (SE plus Obigbo), perhaps might even have bigger agenda than you do.
You want us to come out in public here and start making big empty threats of how we must drag Ikwerre and co back to SE?

don't mind the guy. He thinks we are foolish.. Looking for what we will say with all their fake monikers

Obi1kenobi:


It was Igbos that ran stark, raving mad when Buhari defeated GEJ. Not even the Niger Delta - not even GEJ's Ijaw kin - reacted so viscerally and emotionally and bitterly to Buhari's emergence as Ndigbo did. I read unbelievable derogatory hate speech against the guy everywhere I looked. Then Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB came with their own brand of lunacy to further heat up the polity.

It might have even been tolerable if the bitterness against Buhari came from the Igbo elite, but it was a grassroots driven movement. I couldn't understand how we whipped ourselves up into such a hateful frenzy during and after the 2015 elections. I was basically a pre-school toddler at the time, but I'm not even sure Yorubas were that bitter when Abiola's election victory was annulled and he was thrown in jail. I still can't understand the root of such visceral hatred of Buhari.

Very apt at the bolded.

The guy is stubbornly ignorant. Imagine talking about using a cavalry in the tropical rain forest. He’s comparing the Aro with Ijebu that were defeated all in one afternoon. I tire for the guy. I can’t even bring my self to discount most of the ignorant crap he posted. I’ll just ignore the clown henceforth.

That guy is just a disgusting fool. Jumping on this thread with big grammar to degenerate indi'Igbo unravel his personality and inherent character as the typical Igbo hating afonja. He should be ignored henceforth.

Chiwude:
Is it PabloAfricanus that you're calling a Yorubaman? Some of you just label everyone Yoruba, especially when you're on the losing side. If my memories were correct Pabloafricanus has been here on nairaland defending Ndigbo since it was birthed.
PabloAfricanus deserves your apology. Him, Ogbuefi, Andre Uweh, Ezeagu, Ifyalways, Safarigirl, Afam4Eva, Chinenye, Bigfrancis, Ajanaoka, Pazienza and others too numerous to mention have stood for Ndigbo here in time past. So show some respect.

Maybe his account was hacked. How dare he insult our history with his lies.

How can you blame Igbo issues in national politics on Igbos alone?
Igbo had always stood as a block in national politics. Factors beyond our control , mostly emanating from resentment other Nigerians have towards us, had led to us often being sidelined in national politics.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

This was the current Emir of Kano words.
Currently, Atiku is being harassed into not buying into Igbo VP, by being told that an Igbo VP would generate resentment from Nigerians towards him. Notice the attempt by Yorubas to Igbonize Atiku candidature, the aim is simple, they are trying to appeal to the Igbo resentment ingrained in the very genetic make up of average Nigerians, and use it against Atiku,in such a way that Atiku would consider Igbo VP more of a liability, than an asset
They did the same to Agbaje in 2015 Lagos elections. Agbaje candidature was Igbonized to make it unappealing to other Nigerians in Lagos. Immediately Ambode fell out with Tinubu, Yorubas rushed and Igbonized Ambode too, to make him unattractive to average Yoruba persons.
You seem to not understand the dynamics at work in Igbo political dilemma in Nigerian politics.

The Yorubas don't like us, but yet they are always after one Amaka or Chinyere. I don't just get it from those group.

Not everybody is jobless and can afford to spend their lifetime on nairaland like you. People have bills to pay so shove that stuff you wrote up there.

PabloAfricanus:


Such ignorance.
The Aros were traders and slavers, hardly a euphemism for anything hegemonic.
You're ignorant about the Nris, as your reply clearly shows.

The British installed warrant chiefs for Igbo's, as there was no known or visible leadership structure they could use to administer Igbo land. Is that not a fact?
Maybe you are not aware there were no kingdoms or monarchies in Igbo land?
The Aros operated mostly among the Southern Igbo clans and didn't have the spread or reach to be considered an expansionist force.

Nsibidi was not Igbo and was never used by the Igbo's as a system of writing, if you have any precolonial documents written in Nsibidi, I'd be glad to see them.

The British met existing bureaucracies, courts, armies and dynasties when they arrived in Oyo, Bini and Fulani territories. Just read up on indirect rule OK?

I understand your ethnic pride is at stake, but historical facts cannot be changed.
You need to go back and study your history, you came off sounding ignorant.

What you're using is Igbo history and culture 101, many people hear 'Igbo had no king(s)' and mistake that with 'Igbo had no leadership.' The warrant chiefs you're talking about was superimposed on an already existing leadership structure based on paternal lineage. Many if not most warrant chiefs were chosen by prominent members (leaders) of the community, it's just that they later abused the power with British consent.

You see, what the Aro did was more intricate and calculating than simply raising an army and invading a whole territory, they created a trade / slave trade network where they installed their sympathetic agents in communities, their hegemony isn't in question because many Igbo communities can talk of the political, religious, and especially economic hegemony of Aro people. Aro people not expansionist? When they went all the way to present Enugu city!

All of this talk talk is even pointless in the case of Igbo participation in politics in Nigeria today, the reason for the good or bad status today is because of firstly the colonial setup where Fulani are firmly the chosen, and two the war. Before the war, Igbo people dominated the Nigerian army.

Anioma are Edo and they always have been. THEY ALWAYS WILL BE. The problem with some south-easterners is that you have replaced your brains with chest beating, you are talking about lands you know nothing about, yet you are calling them Igboland. The worse is that you think asking for those lands is your birthright. Liste' carefully, when you feel entitled to an other man's property and proceed to go and collect it, if he behead you then he would be acting on perfect self defense. Igboland is comprised of some parts of the south east and huge chunks of Cameroon. Your brothers is south west Cameroon refused to join you in Nigeria due to your land thieving tendencies. Those guys still speak English, but they wanted 'o part of being with you. Perhaps you need to act more civilisé instead of causing havoc everywhere.

Fool I am Edo, the word "bini" is not part of Edo lexicon. I don't think it were even used in precolonial times. What you want to ignore is not me, it is logics and common sense and knowledge. That is one of your many problems. If I were to be singing your talking points, I am almost sure that you would be begging for everyone to listen to me. You are a close minded baffoon. You don't think things through, rather you just beat your chest and claim other people's property as yours. Why don't you guys ever bother Cameroon which actually has all of your lands outside south-east Nigeria? Is it because you can't bully Cameroon with your inflated numbers? Because Cameroon has a well trained and equipped military force which would give you some dinosaure dance? You guys are cowards who take refuge in their numbers.
