Why is igbos only political party,APGA,which formed by Biafra warlord Ojukwu sold to PDP after his demise? Is igbos not capable of vying for the seat of a president? Why did Victor Umeh decides to sold the future igbos to the south south? Is igbos slaves in Naija? Igbo chenu ezigbo echiche

[s]Didan't the Obas sell Abiola to be slaughtered while smiling home with their Ghana must gos

What I want to know is who tinubu wants them to support now after he dissed Buhari and jumped on the short lived tambuwal's bid
Confused souls
If shekau joins APC today,they may want him to run for presidency[/s]

[s]Shut up, which interest of Nigeria.

So to have an Ijaw president is for the interest of the Ijaw but a fulani is interest of Nigeria.

Capital mumu[/s]

aljharem:


[s]So what makes Tambuwal more qualified than Akande ?

What makes Buhari more qualified than GEJ ?

What makes Ambode more qualified than GOS[/s]

My dear, I think "ethnicity" and "bigotry" are nouns and nouns can not qualify a noun rather adjective

Preferred can be " ethnic bigotry"

Bla bla bla bla..can u just stop quoting me?..You have ur believe and ur notion stick with it

hizroyalflynes:

See
What else do u expect from someone who hail tinubu
Den Lagosians lack foresight to see that d likes of oluremi and fashola are tinubu’s puppet
Same as for all APC controlled state in SW
where tunubu is their master
U share d same ideology is what ur Brown_yellowish teethed head of looters(ape pee sea chapter)ur type will continually take Yoruba backward just because of ur selfish gain
What are u even gaining

Some yoruba people don kolo! I didn't see anywhere the write-up canvassed for a jonathan re-election. Dude I think u're allowing ur hatred for jonathan to get the better of u. Actually u sound like an idi0t. The message in that post is that the time has come for the yoruba nation to rise up to the occasion and rally round to get a southwesterner voted in as speaker of the house of reps following tambuwal's defection
Its time for the yoruba to take back what righfully belongs to them. I don't know who told them that mulikat akande will not deliver better leadership than tambuwal. Smh for some yoruba people. They've been utterly brainwashed to swallow every ish from tinubu

Just re-read that long epistle again and tell me where u saw 'vote for jonathan'... This thing is becoming sickening!

fx45:

Somebody usurped ur position and u have the boldness to publicly declare that it is good for democracy. If its all about merit and qualitative leadership, why are u shouting 'sai buhari' instead of 'vote for fashola'? Has fashola not proven to be a far better leader than buhari? Would fashola not get overwhelming support from nigerians across all divides more than a buhari candidacy? Now would u care to explain this sudden shifting of the goalpost. Thank u

Osakah24:
Since Tambuwal became speaker,How far?

hizroyalflynes:

A position was zone to we yoruba yet just bcuz of selfish interest they make sure we lost it
Upon d tussle going on at NASS some Northern pdp are rally round. Tambuwal
Cuz I don't share in your mediocrity that yoruba should continue warming the bench at national level
M nt a fully bred yoruba
Alright continue to do what u think is best
Then start saying u didn't see any GEJ work

hizroyalflynes:

Can u also tell what have change since northern have hold such position
Have their stark illiteracy status decrease?? And so on
M not making my point based on sentiment
I have benefitted a lot from other tribes

Its about us contributing our own quota to national development
Dimeji might be a thief
Does that implies every NASS member from sw is a thief
The food that belong to the child was given to a dog
Just because they wanna dictate
Someone z that is how Ilorin was sold to northerns because of amala and ewedu
Tambuwal isn't getting support from only APC NASS members even PDP are supporting
Y we should be happily sideline ourselves

Rexxie:

say no to tribalism,i agree a 100%..but say no as well to injustice,unfairness and inequality.

Rexxie:

quoting u gives me da 4kn itches,it irritates me..u never made any sense in all ur posts and again,a dog wud've done better...so fishy_brainy,just go to hell.

Yorubas say they don't want your gift, Ibo is telling us we must take it by force abi kini ati n pe eleyi?

akins56:
I think tinubu/acn's action then was expediently taken, if akande had been elected as speaker, PDP would have used her influence and popularity to torment tinubu and APC right now, and that would be a clog in APC's progress, like a war general would say, ''Never empower your enemy'', i think tinubu read that somewhere and he does justice to that!, i support his actions!

Ovamboland:


Lagosians are not dumb as they can see how well PDP is running states it controls and the FG and they don't want that kind of 'performance'.
PDP came to ruin SW states with looting and violence between 2003 - 2007 and Westerners said thanks it's been nice take a hike.

For instance where did Amosun, Ajimobi, Aregebsola suddenly find the money for infrastructural projects that Daniel, Akala and Oyinlola could not muster?

Ovamboland:


And you heard that from a Yoruba and from someone who wants to denigrate Yoruba? Most likely from someone whose ethnic group cannot point to any history worthy of record or at best completely colourless history.

Do yourself a favour, if you are really Yoruba, read the account written by true Yoruba men Like Revd. Johnson about the happenings of that time. The reason Ilorin was lost was mainly due to the strong independence movement by many Yoruba states and tributary states like Dahomey. The royal cavalry had to fight battles on up to 5 fronts at the same time, and was no longer strong enough to route the renegade 'Are' and the Fulani supporters, Ilorin was never sold.

soroptimist:
Coming from accursed Femi Aribisala,it might even have come from Femi Fani Kayode but the fact remains that Tinubu's political sagacity can not be understood by lowlifers and children of hate across the Niger who wants to help the bereaved cry more than themselves

To the political lilliputs and infants on NL.........in the past political blocs or alliance amongst the regions and zones have always been the basis of how political parties gets votes

The North+The SE+SS have always been political bed fellows........while the SW+NC have always gone together.......that was why Pa Awolowo couldn't become the President because the Igbos have always aligned with the Hausa they insult today to edged Awolowo out knowing fully well that they too cant deliver the Presidency to any of their sons like Azikiwe

Awolowo in 1979 didnt even mind nominating a VP candidate or becoming one to Azikiwe in order for the SE and SW to merge politically despite the fact that Awo's AG or UPN always have more votes and seats in the parliament than Ziks party yet out of shear political rivalry Zik refused to accede to Awo's proposal to even play the 2nd fiddle to him but went into alliance with the North( severally from the 60s.......yet they pretend we dont know history or probably have forgotten)

Those who have read history will know where the concept of 'Being the beautiful bride' of Nigerian politics comes from or who said so

The Northerners were pulling Zik and his party on one hand while Awo/UPN was also asking for an alliance between both parties in order to confine the "core North into political irrelevance" but Zik shunned Awo and allegedly even leaked the letter Awo wrote to him detailing the schematics of the working agreement he was proposing to the press

The SW political gladiators like Tinubu having read history very well and discovered where Baba Awo couldn't succeed knew that in order for the SW to play Nationally away from the perennial opposition tag we had always carried all these years. Possible outcomes that can make such aspiration possible is to Form a political alliance with one of the 2 major ethnic group (1) Igbos (2) Hausas as no major tribe can single handedly deliver the Presidency unto itself

As things stands,the perennial rivalry of the Igbos with the Yorubas wont make them forge an allianace with the SW whereas the North is pragmatic,open-minded and very astute when it comes into forming political alliance




Tinubu's master-stroke of shooting down Mulikat Akande's PDP aspiration( which ACN is not hell-bound to go along with) has healed whatever old wound existing between the North and the SW........whereas the SE have simply replace the SW in the war of ego with the North.....who they used to be in bed with politically before but now insult because GEJ is now the President( i wonder what they will do when GEJ finishes his tenure in 2015 worst 2019( i even heard them saying GEJ should hand over to them) as if GEJ will point a gun at the heads of the SWners and Hausas they insult and deride to vote for their candidate

That is why people like me have been preaching politics of bridge-building and not ethnoreligious bigotry especially being championed by the people across the Niger knowing fully well that our political paths might cross in the near future but it seems some dont even care if the future dont come hence they are trying to turn everyone into enemies



Whatever anybody may say Tinubu has strengthened the respect SWners used to have politically.......the role he is likely to play in who will get the APC ticket is apt as the zone remains the single strongest unified region in the APC



Yoruba folks should not let charlatans like Femi Aribisala obfuscate issues that are clear to us based on historical antecedents of all political regions and ethnic groups

Ovamboland:


'Ur position' ordained by who, decided by God or by nature, are you for real or a robot?

Are Nigerians this dumb believe so strongly that PDP political arrangement becomes the lawful constitutional order and everyone is duty bound to obey PDP. We really have a long way to go, civics needs to be re-introduced from primary school level.

Fire15:


God bless you. The South Easterners and their political leaders were never subject of insults while they were in bed with the North, during the first and second Republics. The pastime for now, is pouring odious and opprobrious invectives on Westerners and Northerners, for aligning to save Nigeria from incompetent, divisive and clueless leadership. Even their kinsmen,Gov. Okorocha and Senator Ngige were not spared of insults from their venomous mouth. Their crime? For belonging to a Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani party, despite the fact that, APGA was invited to be part of alliance. Those that were rabidly clannish and Yoruba haters amongst them were not for it, while the moderates amongst them joined the alliance.

Ovamboland:


It is called long range planning, see the earthquake Tambuwal's defection is causing in PDP ranks. Some plan 4 years in advance for the next election, Otuoke man and his supporters just woke up to say we are the greatest 6 months to election with nothing to show.
