You forgot to mention that Nigerian Fulanis make up a quarter of the Fulani population world wide, same as Nigerian Igbos, & Yorubas.

Can the Northern Nigerian People Give Igbo 2023 Presidency?
By eeetuk

[s]Ibo leaders’ frequent trips to the Northern states of Nigeria to beg the residents of the region to give them 2023 presidency is sickened and unprecedented for two reasons. First, it is unconstitutional. They should know that by now. The Nigerian government is democracy----a system of government in which people choose their president by voting, not monarchy. Second, Northern Nigeria does not hold monopoly to decide who should be president of Nigeria. However, and just because Northern Nigeria consists of 19 states and South 17, should not decide who controls the presidency of Nigeria. In democracy, winning the presidency is winning the hearts and minds of voters, not buying them.

And Nigerians who choose to vote in favor of candidates from the North for presidency over their southern counterparts do so because they see Northern Nigerians as people who are more likely to share power, and not keep it to themselves as most southern leaders would do.

That said, but I want to talk about reports on what Ibos leaders are saying about producing 2023 presidency of Nigeria. And I begin here by citing statements made by Ibo leaders:
Former governor of Anambra state, Chukwuemeka Ezeife has in many occasions said that the South-East is prepared to kneel or bow before every ethnic group to clinch the 2023 presidency, Sahara Reporters, December 5, 2021. That is sickening and a complete taboo. I find it difficult to believe that Ibos who participated in writing the 1999 constitution of Nigeria will go this low. Kneeling down to beg Northern Nigerian states to make an Ibo person the president of Nigeria is not attainable. I thought Ibos ’culture forbid people from kneeling down to beg. So, I now know I was wrong. This is laughable in my view. Can you imagine what will happen if Ibibios, Yorubas, Hausas, Ijaw, Edo and other ethnic groups in Nigeria were promoting their ambitions in this manner and what Ibos will say in their reactions? They will raise hell.

And just a few days ago, the chairman of Ndigbo cultural group, Chief Ohanaeze Obiozo made a similar blunder by saying this “there is no other tribe that will rebuild the North except Igbo, as there is no other tribe with a huge population, investments and had contributed in the past for the progress and development of the North except the Igbo.” -TheSouthernexaminer—an online website reported (12/08/2021.}
who is Ohanaeze Obiozor talking to or deceiving?



Southeast geopolitical zone does not have any successful business model to rebuild southeast or Northern Nigeria or any part of Nigeria. None, Period. Ohanaeze Obiozor is a liar and idiot. And for him to claim that no other tribe will rebuild north except Ibo is a low blow to the people of the Northern Nigeria. What measurement is Ohanaeze Obiozor using to reach this outrageous conclusion?

So, I urge the people of Northern Nigeria to send a letter to Ohanaeze Obiozor to warn him about the consequence of his utterances and insults to their region.
Oh, my God. I am shaking my head in outrage.
Mr. Obiozor is living in an alternative Universe. The southeast geopolitical zone is a slum. Southeast is not even developed and they are talking about rebuilding the Northern states of Nigeria. What successful development in Southeast is Mr. Obiozor relying on? Renting shops in slums neighborhoods to sell outdated and imported items from abroad? Please don’t get me started.
No part of the southeastern states can be used as a model to develop Nigeria—going forward. And here why.

The past 20 years in Southeast has witnessed a sharp declined in the population. Beginning from 1999, the population of entire Southeastern geopolitical zone was estimated at 12 million. Today, the population of Southeast geopolitical zone is between 4 to 5 million people—amazing decline.

What caused the population of the Southeastern geopolitical zone to decline so rapidly?
The decline in the population of the Southeast geopolitical zone is caused by two things: first is lack of innovative ideas by Ibos to attract investments—which could generate jobs growth and keep local residents to live in the zone. Southeast geopolitical zone has the worst infrastructures development when you compare them to other part of Nigeria. Roads are in terrible state. Bridges don’t exist. Rising flood water has destroyed farmland all over southeast. Fishing industries have ceased to exist---leading to the largest migration of Ibos to other parts of Nigeria to look for jobs and places to live.

Authors David autor, David Dorn & Gordon H. Hanson (2012) have written articles on the effects of import on local economy. In their recent article on local labor market, they stated that import from countries with high wage can drastically reduce wage and employment in countries where the imported items are sold, Krugman 2000. This is significant because it proved why imports are jobs killers and has led to dwindling population in southeast geopolitical zone.

Why Nigeria Next President Cannot Come from Southeast.
Nigeria next president in 2023 cannot come from southeast for many reasons. First, southeast is the worst developed geopolitical zone in Nigeria---not providing any road map for developing Nigeria. Second, States in the southeast have no good roads, and the few that exist are in terrible state. This is significant because Nigerians need a president who will build roads and bridges throughout the country to connect Nigerians together and develop economy that works for everyone. Third, citizens of southeast are unfriendly with people outside their tribe—reason why Nigerians don’t want to invest in the zone and why many Ibos have migrated outside the zone. Fourth, a southeast president will promote policy that favors minority exclusion in federal hiring, resources distribution, and development of infrastructures throughout Nigeria. Fifth, a southeast president will engage in unconstitutional laws—which would allow military to take over power again. Sixth, a southeast president will park courts with Ibos—promoting bias ruling in issues affecting individual liberty and more. Seven and lastly, a southeast president will flood Nigeria markets with imported goods—paving way for Nigeria economy to collapse within days of taking office.

Ibos don’t know how to develop their neighborhoods to attract outside investments. You never hear Ibo leaders call for the building of roads, bridges and highways to connect all the 36 states in Nigeria. All southeast citizens care is renting shops in slums neighborhoods and stocking them up with imported items---leading to breeding rooms for all sorts of crimes and decline in jobs opportunities.

The residents of the southeast relied 100% on imported goods to sell. Import is job killer. Every time you spend $1 to import stuff from overseas, you kill between 50 to 100 local jobs. We have seen the effects of this by the number of Ibos who have flee from the southeast zone to Lagos, Abuja and other parts of Nigeria.

The second reason for the decline in the population of Southeast is corruption by the governors of the Southeast geopolitical zone. Since 1999 when Nigeria transited from military rule to civilian government, many southeast politicians, and especially the state governors had amazed wealth to into private pockets for personal use.

Nigerian newspapers---especially the premium Times has reported that the former governor of Imo state Rochas Okorocha was arrested and questioned for corruptions by efcc. And in recent article published in Nairaland, Mr. Okorocha has promised to build school in Katsina state. Where did Mr. Okorocha get his money from?
Is this why Igbo should be president of Nigeria in 2023?

Orji Uzor Kalu is the former governor of Abia state. He was found guilty of stealing over N7.65 billion and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment, PRNigeria website reported. Is this the kind of person from Southeast geopolitical zone that should be president of Nigeria?

So, for the purpose of this conversation, I want to introduce Ibos to how the president of Nigeria is produced---in hope they will stop begging Northern Nigerians to give them the presidency. The 1999 constitution of Nigeria states as follows on the process for electing the president of Nigeria:

How the president of Nigeria is produced
134. (1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected, where,
there being only two candidates for the election -
(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and

that where there are more than one candidate with majority of votes in the highest number of States, the candidate
among them with the highest total of votes cast at the election shall be the second candidate for the election.

Commission shall within seven days of the result of the election held under the said subsections, arrange for an
election between the two candidates and a candidate at such election shall be deemed elected to the office of

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in
the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

Commission shall, within seven days of the result of the election held under the aforesaid subsection (4), arrange for
another election between the two candidates to which the subsection relates and a candidate at such election shall be
deemed to have been duly elected to the office of President, if he has a majority of the votes cast at the election.[/s]

JAMO84:
Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria, though I prefer Osinbajo or any Younger and more vibrant person from another formidable party apart from PDP and APC.




Nigeria is not ready to Change the old order. We are still stuck with the big two for now.




Those who are against Tinubu ambition will either tell you to vote Atiku, or support Igbo presidency.



Atiku is a bigger thief than Tinubu. Tinubu allegedly stole Lagos money. Atiku allegedly stole Nigeria's money.



Nigeria cannot trust Igbo with presidency for now, their commitment to Nigeria unity is too weak, power brokers and majority of Nigerians will not be comfortable with Igbo in aso rock.




TINUBU HAS THE RIGHT TO CONTEST


IT'S NOT MUST YOU SUPPORT HIM


EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE THEIR CHOICE

KingEverest:
Kwara case is different they share some Yoruba and hausa culture but benue has little similarities with east or south

omenkaLives:
Errrm, so he doesn't wanna talk about it because of his 2023 ambition- so what?

He hasn't broken any law by not talking about it.l, has he? He has the right whether or not to talk about it, doesn't he?

Can y'all just free that man already!! Haba, everyday Tinubu Tinubu, yet the man doesn't even reply you people, neither has he stopped anyone from talking about or going about their own consultations the way they please. How many people who've shown interest have said anything about restructuring?

These incessant attacks are exactly what's gonna get the man some unnecessary sympathy supports. As for me, my guy still remains Osinbajo though. I prefer Jagaban to remain a godfather, a kingmaker, pulling his strings from behind the scenes.

Ovamboland:
And it is Atiku that managed to win his Adamawa state with a thin margin that is a heavy weight? He only has money to throw around and nothing else.

What has Atiku built apart from his private business? Which party has he ever nurtured? Just jumping from here to there.
A major law of leadership is reproduction, who are the Atiku proteges and leaders he has brought up?
Tinubu has at least 5 proteges that are presidential materials that many agree can do as well if not better than him.

Atiku should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Tinubu when talking of leadership, he doesn't measure up.

Nice one. Many Yoruba men are getting married to Igbo ladies on daily basis.

Dsalvo:
Mumu, let them keep lying to you in upper Iweka palm wine bar and those rural villages you all love building garish mansions in.

When your ready for an ass-whooping then start a thread about Igbo owning poperties in the SW. I will meet you there.

Be ready, as the one making the spurious claim, to prove your case with statistics and facts, no dem say dem say allowed, otherwise you will be disgraced once again for telling outrageous lies to boost your fragile egos and sooth your inferiority complex.

Dsalvo:
Lol. Da omi si iwaju te ile tutu. A concept myopic, uncultured and "food is ready" Igbos have no capacity to understand.

Yorubas did it with APC yet Igbos cannot understand we deserve to te ile tutu nitori pe a ti da omi si waju.

Igbos are a million years behind the Yorubas in wisdom and 'people science'. They will never catch up with us and will only remain envious and hatedul of us.

Klinee:
Nzam is original Igala but due to proximity, intermarriage and acculturation to Igbos, Nzam were able to flow fluently in Igbo language while maintained the original and main language which is Igala.
The historical and unique nature of Nzam has it that, Igala happen to be the first and main occupant of the land before the subtle Igbo migrants from upland came in and were accommodated by the Igalas.
Not only Nzam, a large part of Anambra state were largely Igala settlers but because of proximal acculturation to Igbos neighbours they lost their original Igala language and picks Igbo language.

Janicex:
Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has advocated for a blanket amnesty reminiscent of the type given to Niger Delta militants to be granted to the killer bandits.

Sheikh Gumi who made the renewed amnesty call during the enrolment of a third batch of students into the free orphans’ healthcare and education support programme organised by the Kawo Islamic Foundation in Kaduna on Monday, insisted that granting amnesty to the bandits was the solution to stopping the bloodshed and their criminal activities in the northern regions.

Gumi added that labelling the bandits whom he described as “naive citizens” as terrorists, will further compound “a very simple problem.”

“If there is anything that can stop the shedding of blood, it is better just like what happened with the Niger Delta militants, they were shedding blood as well, but when they were ready to drop their weapons with an amnesty that will take care of them, I think the same thing can apply to herdsmen,” Gumi said.

“To deal with naïve and uneducated citizens, it will be detrimental to us to label them terrorists; we should fight them when fighting is useful, but dialogue is the ultimate solution.”

It is no longer a rumour that popular online news blog SAHARA REPORTERS has been struggling lately due to her false, mischievous and unverifiable stories.

Earlier today, Sahara Reporters published a news story with the headline, "German Politician Vows To Make Germany Intervene In Biafra Struggle". Quoting Sahara Reporters, "A member of the German Parliament, Andrej Hunko has assured the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other agitators in the southeastern part of Nigeria that Germany will intervene in their struggle".

Contrary to what Sahara Reporters published, the man vehemently debunked the false claim when another German asked him to confirm the story. Recall that the same Sahara Reporters made a false accusations against the country's Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN, linking him to the Ikoyi collapsed building by claiming the land property was sold to him by one Chief Michael Ade-Ojo, the founder of Elizade Motors. The business mogul later debunked the rumour and called it fake with a statement personally signed & released to the press.

Where is the true and pure Journalism we used to experience in Nigeria?

When we talk about Nigeria being a failed state, some sycophants will be changing the narrative.
There's no working security architecture all over the world that will not be able track down this serial murderers.
They operate daily in the same environment, with the same mode of operation.
But in these cases the security agencies will rather blame it on IPOB, MNK and ESN just to excuse their ineptitude to duty.

if you see all these simple things as chores, then don’t complain when your wife or your future wife doesn’t respect you or desire sex from you. Dont complain when your wife prefers her vibrator/masturbating than you. Don’t complain when your wife complains to her friends about her wack sex life. The best sex occurs when a woman is satisfied because it’s rare. That is the difference between a basic man, and a man who is exceptional in bed.

Men naturally do not require much to orgasm, you’re moved by what you see. Women need much more than that. Understand this and have peace.

olabrinks:
It depends on how long you last because 20 mins of non stop penetration is not only a workout, it is boring and not satisfying. Especially as most Nigerian men think pumping hard and fast is good sex. There’s a lot of sucking touching teasing and slow thrusts that need to be involved. Your wife seems to get satisfaction from clitoral stimulation( which is the reality for 90% of women). So it’s either you keep her clit stimulated whilst penetrating or you simply ask her what she wants you to do.

Men please learn how to kiss properly(less saliva and not too much tongue) , learn how to give head properly ( suck mainly on the clit pleeeassee! Located at the top of the vagina above the hole. ) and please learn how to penetrate well. ( slow thrusts + fast..changing the pace). Also suck nipples slowly and gently (NOT BITING no teeth) and keep your hands on the woman’s body. Try to massage clit whilst penetrating if you can. Please it’s not hard, try and learn ah beg. Your woman will never forsake you honestly. Good sex is very very hard to find. Most men are not good at it, even when they think they are because most women lie. This is why you see Married women withholding sex because they can no longer pretend. Just a few tips for you.
