We voted for GEJ 100% because we believe in "Equity and Fairness". And unless we get it too, Nigeria will keep moving round aimlessly in circles of cause Obviously until we get our Sovereign Republic of Biafra.

Aigbofa:

If this is all you have to support your quest for the presidency, let me inform you now that you have failed, woefully. You need a better strategy. This is an advice from a guy who doesn't care if an ibo never become the president of Nigeria till the end of time.

I refuse to be locked in a debate with u or anyother. The question i have for u is; Why are u so scared of positive change? At least that's what the country needs.

lagcity: The only people capable of leading Nigeria are the Yoruba. We combine the best qualities of Hausa and Igbos, but possess none of their shortcomings.

Yoruba elders say that through wisdom you can tell that a child is going to be great right from childhood. The West Region was far ahead of every other before some ppl (you know yourselves) conspired to imprison Awo. Yoruba will rise again, it is natural and inevitable. Odua, let us get rid of fake Awoists among us. Nobody shld use Awo's name to win votes without performing.

The problem with Nigeria is that there is simply too much dishonesty. When I came newly to Nairaland I chose the moniker ONLYTRUTH because I believe that without truth Nigeria is not going anywhere forward.
The bolded is not really true because I can tell that by "Western region" you meant Lagos; but Lagos was NOT part of Western region. It was a neutral FEDERAL CAPITAL.
Even before Nigeria was formed, Lagos was not part of western region. It was more like a slave returnee location which mingled with Europeans for years before the rest of the country. Calabar would have been a perfect match for Lagos had the capital continued to stay there. Anyway I digress.
The point is that apart from Lagos, no other western state beats ANY Eastern state in development. None did it before 1960, and none is doing it today.
Remove Lagos from the equation and any fair observer would agree that the East is making Nigeria proud in many ways that the west can only envy, both in development, human and natural resources.
Please let's not digress too far from the topic.

Tell me who can match Charles Chukwuma Soludo in the west. Abeg no vex.

Rhino.5dm:
Soludo? The man that looked the other way when Ibru, Erastus and co were looting the shareholders funds blindly? Really?

A man that can't even win a mere state governorship election? meaning his people can't even trust him to be their governor. Abeg make I laugh small.

Onlytruth:

Soludo did not win Anambra because he went against the tide of LOCAL POLITICS. He lost for the same reason Obasanjo lost locally in Ogun state.

If he had run under APGA he would have won LOCALLY but he may not win NATIONALLY.
I know you know these things. You are smarter than you are presenting yourself, just because you cannot help being tribalistic.

Soludo remains BY FAR the best CBN governor in Nigeria's history. Under him, Nigeria was almost about to dominate African finance.
He was limited by lack of presidential power. The best genuis on earth will fail without presidential powers in Nigeria; but Soludo's ingenuity still didn't escape notice.

I'll be back later.

And you wonder why most of us on here have concluded that you got mental issues.

MegaMan2020:

Igboland is easily the most underdeveloped part of Nigeria. That's why Igbos run away from the place. It's also why Igbos that run to the North and SW don't want to develop their place. They know it's a lost cause. Imagine Igbos talking how great they would make Nigeria when they can't even make Igboland great lol.

demmy: We would probably descend into civil war again with an ibo president. The egocentric attitude of ibos make them unqualified to lead a multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria.

*CLAPPING* standing ovation!!! You nailed it so well,that buffoon who got the respond.if any brains with him would realize he is actually sitting on SE shit while insulting other zones.That said i don't think with the Igbo hate being exhibited everyday and night against Nigeria,SW and Northern people.Doubt they should be accorded the respect and honor of ruling Nigeria at this time.I am better off with the SS people.Considering there problem na resource control.While most Igbos have problems with other nationals of Nigeria based on tribalism.They speak of the past as if they want a rematch.If they can't even bury the hatchet,Why should i feel free to empower them with my affairs.They even work/hate the nation Nigeria!!!

MegaMan2020: I'm yet to see an Igbo governer "Refine and Rebrand" an Igbo state let alone Nigeria.

oyb: yaaawn . . .the chest beaters are back for more in 2013

imagine endorsing soludo - master of the coverup - as presidential material

Rhino.5dm:
I know what? lemme help you out. The only man I foresee becoming a president from south east presently is Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha and don't ask me why.

Dude, there is a clear cut between a politician and a technocrat, as such Soludo can't win election in present day Nigeria cos he lacks the political know-how to achieve that.

If you really want a president, then Rochas is the way. Finito.

J12:

Huh? Are you kidding me?

MegaMan2020:

I think Igbos that actually live Igboland need to look at this statement and accept the truth. There's a reason igbos don't want to live in Igboland. Do you see Yorubas and Northerners rushing to live in the East?Lol of course not. But you see Igbos rushing to live in the SW and the North. I see Northerners living in the SW and I see Yorubas living in the North. But I see very few of either living in the East. ASK yourselves why...

MegaMan2020:

I agree. I'll live in any part of Yorubaland..Even the worst part of Ibadan before I live in Aba.

J12:

Huh? Are you kidding me?

Onlytruth:

Throw in a former Federal Capital and you will see them rush there.
Even Port Harcourt has a high number of Yoruba there; but having said that, Yoruba only go to places they would survive. That is why they are more in London (the capital of the worlds 15th economy) than in Tokyo (the capital of the worlds third largest economy). So, economic development is not all that Yoruba or Hausa may be looking for. Go figure that first.

Onlytruth:

I rest my case.
Yoruba land may be the worst on earth and you would still see Yoruba staying there.
To expect the Igbo to behave like Yoruba is a form of self deceit.

Onlytruth:

Do you want us to conduct a picture contest between Ibadan, Abeokuta; and Enugu, Owerri?

Ask yourself, which western capital city beats Enugu or Owerri? (apart from Lagos that is)

This is a contest I would love to have.

MegaMan2020:

Yet so many igbos live in Ibadan nowadays lol.

The fact is the worst part of Ibadan is still better than Aba.

MegaMan2020:

Why won't your Igbo brothers relocate to these places then? Why risk their lives in the North where death is always around the corner if Enugu is so great? Why stay in Yorubaland where Tribalism is the order of the day (according to you people) if Enugu and Owerri are so great? You people make no sense to me.
