For the sake of planning, Prayer and preparation it's not too early to be thinking aloud
about the much desired presidential ambition of the south east geo political zone. I really have sympathy
for that zone because they have always found it extremelly difficult to rationalize their presidential
candidates during elections. I quite believe merit, track record, bridge- building capacity across zones
antecedents and energy to deliver should be yardstick. In this rgds sincerely nominate your
candidate from this zone with your reasons. If u don't have an intelligent opinion pls pass.

No one. I'd rather vote for an hausa than Igbo

ondo_boi: No one. I'd rather vote for an hausa than Igbo

...dn i bet we are gona keep havin a shambolic nation called Nigeria,,,with God igbo go rule jst like black obama

ondo_boi: No one. I'd rather vote for an hausa than Igbo

God forbid, hausa? you want to take us 10 years backward.

SE 85% are not interested in Nigerian presidency... u better look somewhere else..

Da infamous: SE 85% are not interested in Nigerian presidency... u better look somewhere else..

Correct!
the elites are not even discussing it and we d masses are not concerned.

ondo_boi: No one. I'd rather vote for an hausa than Igbo

'rara oo, ejoo ema se beee oo!' please vote a middle belter instead.

Da infamous: SE 85% are not interested in Nigerian presidency... u better look somewhere else..

^^^The only reason any informed south easterner should look on the presidency with nonchalance is if the federation is restructured......with a weak centre and more fiscally autonomous units; that way our destiny wouldn't be tied to and determined by some Igbo-hating ignorant guy that achieved office only by dynamics of Nigerian ethnic/religious/elitist politicking.

Obama had population behind him, blacks, hispanics etc! I dont think north+ middle belt will vote Igbo and if you guys do not know how to forget your past and win people over to yourself, then you are going to loose the west! then you loose

we shall see , every region go vote their own we will now determine who really have the largest population.anyway if jona contest again 2015 he will win cus nobody is about to vote a northerner for now.

Barth Nnaji!
Yes, I said it!

you are right that is the only solution,but i dont see it happening in Nigeria so the country will continue to experience insurgency and instability....

Witout nominating anyone ondo boi and co have already pitched tent wit the same northerns they claim to despise.nothing last 4eva.trust me time will come when your likes wil seek favor from igbos.

Oga Jona of course or who will contest with him from SE? As far as the region concerned SE/SS are the same old Eastern region

Chime Sullivan
Barth Nnaji
Okonjo Iweala


of the list i would pick Chime Sullivan

frankkyd: ...dn i bet we are gona keep havin a shambolic nation called Nigeria,,,with God igbo go rule jst like black obama

We need to move the country forward and therefore we can't allow a Igbo to lead our country - time for experiment has gone. Only a capable hand will be supported by Nigerians.

Who in the west will vote for Igbo to be president? Interesting... There is a better chance of middle-belt voting for Igbo than Yorubas voting for them. They have lost the west already. They can only be Vice President which is even doubtful with the look of things.

bashr8: we shall see , every region go vote their own we will now determine who really have the largest population.anyway if jona contest again 2015 he will win cus nobody is about to vote a northerner for now.

Speak for yourself and probably Igbos in general. Who told Yorubas can't vote for Hausa? We will vote for a capable hand to lead the country regardless of where the person comes from.

Ekuweme is too old to rule now, so I will vote any of the following tried and tested candidates...

Soludo
Barth Nnaji
Sullivan Chime
Okonjo Iweala

Yorubas will NEVER vote for any Igbo! Igbos hate us so they cannot expect us to vote for them.

Okonjo-Iweala is the most qualified by miles...

ondo_boi: No one. I'd rather vote for an hausa than Igbo

did you actually read the topic first before pouring your hot venom on ndi igbos?

Ok, to be frank,

Kelechi is the man if any president is required from the East. I tell you, that guy 'll win 80% of the S/West vote.
The guy has a clean record, and from history he seem to be competent.
May be Fashola can be vice.

Kelechi/Fashola ticket is gonna be great.
I tell you

I agree with you on d middle belt fo Igbos, but what if one of their own from the middle belt is to contest in 2015 what are the chances for our 'aje okuta mamu omi' brothers?

Chukwuma Soludo
Ngige
Iweala

@chino remove Iweala from your list and replace her with Andy Uba so that all will come from ur village.

Obvious... No hope for Igbos to lead the country but wait a minute, is Jonathan not Igbo? Yes, they said he is one of their own. If you look at the way the guy is managing the country, covering up corruption left, right and center, he is showing "aje okuta mamu omi" genetic endowment. The guy is Igbo...

ondo_boi: No one. I'd rather vote for an hausa than Igbo

i can see that fo-ol-ish-nes is ur favorite pastime, keep having fun.

Truth they say is bitter...

Nobody will vote for a people that lack moral...

Obiageli Ezekwesili

Okonjo-Iweala is a scam.

Ojiofor: @chino remove Iweala from your list and replace her with Andy Uba so that all will come from ur village.

Can't stop laughing..

Am I that sectional nwanne mu..??

Ok here an edited list..

The above is not a constructive opinion. We don't need that type of comment on this thread. For Nigeria to move forward, we must forget ethnic and tribal sentiments. Recal in Obama's campaign for 1st term, his opponents made three public apologies to him on racial comments.In their just concluded election, issues occupied their discussions and comments.While we may not be America yet, we can make today to be better than our yesterday by being constructive on isssues for once.
