pazienza: I totally agree with both bolded statements. Openness is what would save us in that effort, else, some iidiot will collect money and throw the whole thing under the bus. I am actually waiting for Amb. Ralph Uwechue (the Ohanaeze boss), to make a statement reassuring us of the deal he made with Jonathan in 2015, to the effect that he (Jonathan )would not contest the 2015 elections, and that he would support a SE candidate. We should all LOUDLY wait for him to tell us how we should contest. We should learn to start holding our leaders to account for their actions in representing our interests in Nigeria. By God, he should give a good account, else, his image/reputation and worth in Igboland will go down the drain so fast his head would spin. |

Onlytruth: For double emphasis, that candidate MUST run under APGA. That party has so much potential, and is yet to be fully deployed. If that is done well, APGA will touch EVERY nook of Nigeria. Of course,our candidate must run under the platform of APGA. Peter obi must be slowly eased out of APGA after the end of his tenure,that comment of his on GEJ endorsement,showed his true identity,he has no love for igboland,and we must not have his type championing our course. APGA must be groomed to take over south east. I have always maintained that eastern nigeria sentiments must be buried for now, our actions or inactions as a group,come 2015,will have a big impact on the generations of unborn igbos. |

If we allow GEJ to continue till 2019, he would likely hand over to the north,and the north will likely be through by 2027, and by 2027,the yorubas would have been out of power for 20years, i don't see them folding their hands and not puting up a fight for it,and if nigeria is the nigeria i know of today,everybody would likely team up against the bogey man of nigeria. And the cycle will continue. What am trying to say is that there will never be a time that nigerians will hand over the presidency to an igboman,if we want it,then we must take it,and my question is:why not go for it now? 3 Likes |

pazienza: I honestly don't believe that there was ever a sentimental attachment (at least not by me) to the Eastern region of Nigeria. It has always been a matter of practical reality. As long as Nigeria continues as one country, (or even after disintegration) that region will continue to co-exist and be viewed as one by outsiders. No matter the amount of denials coming from any quarters, in or outside of it. The fact though is that the SS part of that region is so amorphous, and maintains a sizable population of umu Igbo, hence the need to consider them (as we plan ahead). BUT that does not mean that we (Ndigbo) must hang our future on a sure agreement with SS, heck they have not even agreed with themselves. lol We Ndigbo remain the engine of the East, no matter what anyone says. I would hope that people in the broader Eastern region realize this fact and start working with the rest of us, else we Ndigbo will go ahead and relate with the rest of Nigeria on our own terms. That's all. We supported Jonathan; that proves that we can support any one of us from that region. That some of us are thinking about fielding an Igbo candidate in 2015 is because ,firstly Jonathan openly committed to a single term and promised to support a SE candidate in 2015 (that is what Ohanaeze said, unless they lied). Secondly, he is not carrying the region along in terms of federal projects, at least in the SE parts. So, we must contest. The Nigerian politics is open to all comers. |

If we pick a dan kano as VP, we can win! |

Onlytruth: The realities tell us that an Igbo man stands a better chance of becoming the President if he is the flagbearer of a party not seen as an Igbo party, than being that of APGA. Unfortunately, you people are in denial and may continue to lose unless you wise up and learn how to play winning politics. |
Re: Igbo Will Field Presidential Candidate In 2015 -APGA National Chairman by pazienza(m): 1:39am On Sep 18, 2012 |
Onlytruth: Eze, the whole GEJ project was all about eastern nigeria sentiment,even umeh said in the above interview that there was no agreement made between APGA/Ohanaeze and GEJ in exchange for igbo support. I listened to some ohanaeze chieftains during the period,men like ozobu,all they were saying was that they were supporting GEJ because he is their eastern brother. From aba to enugu,and onicha to arochukwu,the sentiment was that goodluck is our brother, "he is one of us" was the national anthem throughout igboland. |
Re: Igbo Will Field Presidential Candidate In 2015 -APGA National Chairman by Onlytruth(m): 1:39am On Sep 18, 2012 |
ndu_chucks: Honestly, most of you are making the same miscalculation, which is that other parties will fair better even if they field so called national candidates. Fact remains that politics is a game of numbers, and whoever gets the highest number of votes, and spread (25% in 2/3rds of Nigeria) wins the election. Kurum. So if we get a GOOD candidate, and we support him THROUGHTOUT Nigeria, we can win, even in APGA. The problem with Nigeria's elections remains rigging. If Ojukwu could come third in a presidential poll in Nigeria, it says a lot about our (Igbo ) voting power. Not that we should field a tribalist as our candidate though. We should field men who are well known as GOOD and action oriented. Who no like better thing? So, it is very possible for us to win and win easily. We just need to organize ourselves better and present a winning candidate. That's all. |
Re: Igbo Will Field Presidential Candidate In 2015 -APGA National Chairman by Onlytruth(m): 1:53am On Sep 18, 2012 |
pazienza: I heard all that too, though my personal support came only after Ralph Uwechue assured us that there was an agreement with Jonathan to run for only one term and support the SE in 2015. My brother politics is a tricky game, and I think that whatever was used to mobilize Igbo votes for Jonathan was okay provided he delivered for the whole region. I don't think he has done that. He is basically allocating more federal funds to places that didn't even vote for him and neglecting the SE. For me, that is where the whole thing came to a head. I kept saying that I would end my support for him by the end of this year if I don't see any changes. I have not seen any changes! Victor Umeh's lament only ignited what I was already thinking about. Our experiment with bro Jona has not paid a good dividend, or at least has not met our expectations. So, let us field our own candidate in 2015. Win or lose, we should continue to field candidates in EVERY presidential elections in organized way, not in fragments. I know we can win, and even win easily. |

its a pity that you're now accepting what most of us saw before 2011. Like I said before the Ohanaeze Ndigbo endorsement brouhaha that you don't display your cards easily or show your shallowness in politics. You think Jonathan is stupid not to be able to differentiate those in his pocket and those needed to pleased before 2015? where is the second Niger bridge? where is the Onitsha port? where is the international airport? on the contrary he approved a contract of 1.4 billion dollars Lagos - Ibadan railway project, that figure is by far bigger than the whole projects to be done in entire south east. Building more federal roads in Lagos and entire south west. secondly, he re-awarded Benin- ore- Lagos road, that road project is greater than the entire roads to be constructed in south east. East - west road is in total mess, Portharcourt - Aba road is a dead trap. I laugh in 98% votes. Onlytruth: 1 Like |

They can be taken for granted, they would just yell for nothing. 98% votes even Retardeen knows where the votes count thats why he is awarding multi billion projects in the SW. By the time he goes to open one bakery in the SE and for a wrap of Akpu the whole NdYIBOs would would deliver 98 percentiles again. They are conquered ppl. Balewa, Shagari, gave them VP (number 2) they followed like goats. OBJ didnt even give them VP. He demoted them to number 3. Senate president and they still followed like goats after casava, Yar Adua regime gave them number 5 Deputy senate President and got all their votes Retardeen also used the same tactics, Called himself Ebele Azikwe, And gave them number 5 post and still got 98% FACT is no one cares about Igbos they would always follow like Boy boy |

I have always been against Igbo seeking presidency of Nigeria and looking at what is going on to GEJ, I am shocked there are still some Igbos that want to become president of Nigeria. Either way, though I am against this, I do agree with majority of what the man said. Ngozi, Soludo and Utomi are the Igbo candidates I'll support especially Soludo. |

What you are asking for is easily available on Google search. that said. I'm not an ACN stewards but I belong to south west and am down with anything that would make her greater. So if "Thiefnibs" is the one mounting pressure on the president and bringing the necessary developments required to place her on the map, than who are my not to be happy with him? presently, I want Mimiko to win in Ondo and I have canvassed for him here on nairaland against the ACN candidate . so, I'm not your average party blind follower or sycophant. The issue with you guys is that you are blinded by ethnic bigotry not to have realized that by falling over or opening your pusssy easily, you stand the chance of being relegated to the back seat. Dug up all my pre- election post to verify my claims where I constantly "attack" you guys on the needs of entering into a serious agreement with Jonathan before delivering 98% of your votes to him. You have to save the best for the last. Jonathan paid 3 unscheduled visit to Lagos to beg the ACN chiefs to allow him accesses to south western votes shortly before presIdentIal electIons, NO? while our so-called brothers across the Niger are calling him our son and declaring their supports without any concrete agreement of what is in for them. I was the one telling you the benefits of coming out with single powerful voice under apga, EzeUche and co were busy calling me names and Beaf was molesting their low IQ with a newly coalition mantra called "SS & SE" coalition ( whatever that means I don't know) , well the rest is now history This is a basic political arithmetic and if you don't know that then I can't help you.

Ji_sun_pack: What you are asking for is easily available on Google search. that said. All I am seeing is stories, stories and NOT ONE SINGLE ARTICLE to support it. Why should I find proof to support anything you wrote. Is it I making the claim or is it you? Anything to support all you spoke of? Anything at all. Though I am not surprised, it is the like of una to boast without providing a credible source to back it up. While I am at it, what differentiate "your story" from dedeike "stories" of GEJ achievement which many of una have long condemned. Seeing as dedeike is as you all accused him "PDP laptop" whose job is to inform us of GEJ achievement. Looking at his post I don't know the document you read but I will chronicle my own assessment for you. It completely CONTRADICTS EVERYTHING written by you thus I'll ask again: Do you have anything to back up your so called "facts" While am at it: GEJ approved Anambra as an oil producing state. Something the community have long asked him for. He improved and brought up Enugu airport to International standard. Another thing the community asked him for. I believe he was the one that commissioned the Asaba airport. Which is something I know we've asked for. Working on the Onitsha port (which unlike you, I'll be more than happy to bring articles which support my stanch). He seems to be improving some roads in East if we believe dede-ike. Notice the difference between you and the Igbos on this thread unlike you, a mere tap on their solider over something little they asked of GEJ is not good enough for them neither do they use it as a way to scream "check out our superiority" but rather holding him in account for not doing as much as they wish him to do. You on the other hand, The only thing so far written by you that is mere fact is Ibadan-Lagos railroad project he commissioned. Which granted, yes is a good thing. Though doubtful it will ever become a reality and work in this lifetime but just that mere tap you'll use it as a way to scream of a non-reality, a figment of your imagination "superiority" in government. Get over yourself. |

When has Dedeike became a credible source to warrant you quoting him. There is no single day we won't pull out fresh dead bodies on east-west road due to the sorry state of that road so what are you talking about?

The reason I compared you to dedeike is that similar to you, dedeike is going around telling "stories" without any validation to his claim. Never said I believed him or are you too slow to understand the quotation mark in some of the word represent and even the term "if we are to believe dede-ike" Unlike you, he is believed to be GEJ paid agent so therefore whatever it is GEJ done or wants the public to believe he's done, it's his job to spread it therefore your story should equally match his story if we should believe everything you wrote. How come it does not? As for everything I said he did (i.e: anambra oil production, enugu international standard, the ontisha port and asaba airport) Well Anambra oil producing state http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cover/anambra-joins-oil-producing-states-league/ Enugu International airport http://elombah.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5076:akanu-ibiam-international-airport-enugu-enugu-state-nigeria-a-viable-investment&catid=30:the-economy&Itemid=41 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akanu_Ibiam_International_Airport The ontisha port http://dailytimes.com.ng/article/igbo-group-commends-fg-onitsha-port http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-return-of-onitsha-river-port/125088/ I do not think I need to provide an article on the airport of Asaba. I'll repeat this one more time, notice the difference between you and the Igbos on NL and even the OP. A mere tap on their shoulder isn't good enough. As far as they concerned GEJ failed them even if he did some of the stuff they wished of him and unlike you, they aren't using it nor adding extra salt as a way to boast of "superiority" in government. I'll add this in: Take a lesson from them, learn to move out of your imagination and learn to stop boasting unless you have something to support. Who knows, someone might put you on blast for it and ask you to bring out a source. 2 Likes |
