BBPREYEgarri: Why has the power mongers in Nigeria, decided never to give an igbo man the chance?
Why was Sir Dr. Peter Odili denied the VP ticket? Was he really an igbo man?
Why do Nigerians see igbos as dubios people?
Will an igbo man be a better president than all others?
Will Nigeria break up the day an igbo man rules?
Why are the igbos not fighting for the seat?
Why were they displaced from the Senate President seat?

In your own view, what is really wrong with the igbo race?

The floor is open!

berem: Igbo presidency? I rather have a Biafra Republic!

ilugunboy: .

caseless: isn't this a wild-goose chase? We can together make it better....nigeria wil be great.

berem: Keep dreaming for nigeria to be great when things have already fallen apart.ON BIAFRA WE STAND!

caseless: Afam4eva, are u putting yaradua and jonathan on thesame scale? U cant even compare them. Jonathan can easily be toyed with than yaradu can. When he(umy) came in, u knw how he handled obj's privatisation of refineries and he reversed so many things obj put in place in less than a week. Can ur gej do that?

afam4eva: Isn't BBpreye supposed to be an Igbo hater?

@topic
I don't think anyone would have any problem with an Igbo president if Igbos were like other groups in Nigeria. Unfortunately, most Igbos are mavericks and are unpredictable and it will be detrimental to the powers that be who want to retain the status quo. The difference between an Igbo man and others can be seen in this scenario that happened:

In Northern Nigeria, people like IBB, Danjuma, Sultan etc are power brokers in the north and whoever wants to become the president especially from the north have to be in the good books of these people. And it has been like that for so long and the same godfathers have remained godfathers. That's because Northern Nigeria is run and controlled by a few whose words are yeah and amen.

In Yorubaland, we had powerful men like Adedibu and Tinubu. Adedibu was the most powerful man in Oyo politics and could remove any governor who falls out of favour with him. He did it to ? Tinubu is also powerful in Lagos and controls the political machinery of the state and even the SW.

Now, in Igboland, people are not really into all these godfatherism ish. They might use these godfathers to enter a political office and dump them as soon as they get the political power. Jim Nwobodo was instrumental to Chimaroake becoming the governor of Enugu state but upon getting there, Chimaroake rendered him totally useless. Chimaroake also put Sullivan Chime to become the governor after him thinking that Chime would continue worshipping him the way Fashola is doing to Tinubu, but as soon as Chime got there, he also gave Chimaroake the same treatment Chima gave to Jim Nwobodo. Also ask yourself where Chris Uba is. In Igboland there's no powerful individual. That's because Igbos have always been egalitarian and individualistic.

With this scenario, you can see that allowing an Igbo man to become president may be detrimental, not to Nigerians but to the ruling class who want the status quo to remain. If you put an Orji Uzor kalu there dfor example just know know that some people will go to jail starting from Obasanjo. They won't owe anybody any allegiance. That's the memoir of the average Igbo man.

Though they could find an Igbo man in the mold of Yaradua or Jonathan who can be toyed with.

caseless: then, it appears u are standing on nothing for now.

Now, tell me, if it happens that the imaginary biafra comes to reality, and possibly things fall apart in biafra, where do u go to?

ba7man: An educated de-tribalized Igbo will be a blessing to this Country if allowed to rule. I just hope his kins-men will let him rule effectively and not distract him with traditional requests because..."He's our son".

caseless: hmmmmm.....how far?

BBPREYEgarri: The only thing I detest about them is the way they speak their language to every tom, dicck , and harry, not considering the fact that u are not igbo! That is the digusting thing about them.

berem: hiaa! Cant believe you just wrote this! Because you dont understand or speak igbo makes it disgusting? "shakes my head and walks out of thread"

BBPREYEgarri:

If I approach u and start speaking Ijaw for you, when I know you don't understand the language, how will you feel? Even when u tell me u don't understand, I see you the next day and I do thesame thing! Won't you just feel irritated and walk out on me?

That's what they always do! Igbos! Its so annoying!

Eze Promoe:
That's the same case with the Hausas and the minorities in the north but the minorities tends to cope with that. Please can't we forsake this tribalistic speech today and be in the mood of the season.

BBPREYEgarri:

Oya naaaa.. MERRY CHRISTMAs to all Nairalanders and all the GARRI COMANDOOS! Even as u celebrete remember killing is killing! Murder is murder! Whether na chicken or na Human being! So be wise and have fun this season!

Back to topic: the Senate President's seat was a litmus test to cee how the igbos will manage such a high responsibility! And what happened, they started betraying themselves, and the seat was taken away! Is that how they hope to manage the Presidency if it is given to them?

You guys are not telling us something..
