We Igbos are peaceful people and that is why the Yorubas and northerners think they can take advantage of us and prevent us igbos from producing the next president of Nigeria in 2027.

If Yorubas and northerners push Igbos to the wall then igbos will retaliate and fight the fight of justice, fairness and equity.

Focus on disintegration rather than Igbo or any group ruling. Focus on disintegration but if Nigeria does not breakup, an Igbo person will eventually become President again fairly and not by arm twisting others.
Igbos have headed the country thrice. Azikiwe two times and Ironsi once
Yoruba is five times
Obasanjo three times, Shonekan once and Tinubu once
NW seven times
Muritala once Shagari twice, Yaradua once and Buhari three times
Northern Christians one time of Gowon
Niger state two times of Babangida and Abdulsalam
NE tone and a half time
Abacha, Balewa supporting Zik.
Southern minorities two times
Good luck Jonathan
All counting the number of times oaths were taken

I don't see anywhere here that the Igbos were marginalized because even after the civil war, one of them was VP and they shared in ruling, in making decisions, determining who gets what and etc. Therefore they are not marginalized. Akwa-Cross people are almost half of Igbo in population and wouldn't you think they should have at least one slot if Igbos have had three? The contribution of Yoruba to Nigeria in population and taxes is easily three times that of Igbos, don't you think they should have nine slots if Igbos have three but they have only four. So Igbos are not and have never been marginalized.

Then the number of people that died in the civil war due to famine according to the CIA is around 500k. 3 million is a huge number and it will be up to half of the total Igbo population back then if not more. I believe the people killed by firearms on both sides can not be up to 50k. Therefore the figure is wrong.

Join those seeking for Nigeria to break up because that is what can ensure development of the whole region of west Africa and if we don't succeed then an Igbo man will at one point become leader again but the claim of Igbo marginalization is totally unfounded
Counting how many times someone from an ethnic group took an oath doesn’t automatically mean the group wasn’t marginalized.

Azikiwe’s ceremonial presidency 1960-1963 was under a parliamentary system where the PM held real power. Ironsi ruled 6 months before being killed. That’s different from 8 years as an elected executive president.
Marginalization isn’t only about ‘who became president’. It’s also about federal projects, appointments, policing, and post-war policy. The 3Rs - Reconciliation, Rehabilitation, Reconstruction - are still debated for a reason.
Population/tax argument: If we’re using contribution to decide slots, then we should apply it consistently across all regions, and let the census settle the numbers. Until then, it’s speculation.
Civil war death toll: Historians and organizations give different figures from 500k to 3m. The point isn’t to argue numbers, but that the war left deep wounds that still affect politics today. Dismissing it doesn’t heal it.

If the goal is a united Nigeria, the answer is power-sharing that feels fair to all, not telling any group ‘you’ve had enough’.


If breaking up is the only way for regions to develop, then we’ve already failed as a country.
If keeping Nigeria together is the goal, then every group needs to feel they have a fair shot. That’s all Igbos are asking for in 2027.
Let’s debate policies, not who suffered more.


You said ‘if Nigeria doesn’t break up, an Igbo will become president fairly’. Good. Then why is it a problem when Igbos organize and campaign for that now?
You can’t say ‘wait your turn’ and also say ‘stop asking’. That’s the definition of moving the goalpost.

Politics › Urgent 1K People: The Internet’s New Name For Tinubu Supporters by 21lucky(op): 11:15am On May 10
Across Nigerian social media, frustrated citizens have invented a hilarious nickname for die-hard tinubu political defenders: “Urgent 1K people.”

The joke? Some supporters allegedly behave like they can defend tinubu government policy once ₦1,000 lands in their account — especially during difficult economic times.

From fuel price hikes to expensive rice and hardship everywhere, many Nigerians wonder why some people still aggressively defend tinubu bad governance online as if criticism has become a forbidden sin.

According to online critics, the “Urgent 1K Association” has only one motto:
“No matter the suffering, defend first… complain later.”

Social media users jokingly say:
“Even if garri reaches ₦10,000, they’ll still tweet: ‘President bola tinubu is trying his best.’”

“Their conscience now costs less than a plate of rice and soft drink.”
“If hardship was an Olympic sport, Urgent 1K defenders would still blame previous governments while standing in fuel queue.”

“Nigeria is hot, but their defense of tinubu is hotter than Abuja sun.”
Many Nigerians argue that true supporters should speak honestly when leaders fail instead of defending every policy blindly. They say patriotism means demanding better roads, stable electricity, lower food prices, security, and economic relief — not turning social media into a rented applause section.

Critics also joke that some online tinubu defenders react to every complaint with:
“At least he is working.”
Meanwhile, the people replying ask:
“Working on what exactly? Our patience?”

Another trending joke says:
“Urgent 1K supporters can defend hardship with full chest, but can’t defend their own empty pockets.”

Political observers believe citizens must stop normalizing suffering and start holding leaders accountable regardless of party affiliation. Democracy works better when supporters can praise good policies and criticize bad ones without fear of losing “transport money.”

As hardship continues, many Nigerians hope more citizens will stop defending tinubu administration like football clubs and start demanding real results.

Because at the end of the day:
“A bag of rice shared during hardship will finish in one week… but bad governance can last for years.”

Politics › APC Southeast, Southsouth, Northern Politicians Unite To Stop Tinubu Re-election by 21lucky(op): 2:50pm On May 09
In a surprise move, politicians from the South East, South South, and Northern regions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are reportedly joining forces to pressure President Bola Tinubu not to contest the 2027 presidential election. Instead, they want Tinubu to pave the way for a South East member of the APC to become the party's presidential candidate.

This development is seen as a significant shift in the party's dynamics, as it brings together politicians from different regions to advocate for a common goal. The move is also likely to spark intense debate within the party, as Tinubu's supporters may resist the idea of him stepping aside.

The South East region has long felt marginalized in Nigeria's political landscape, and this move is seen as an opportunity for the region to produce a presidential candidate. With the APC's internal politics heating up, it remains to be seen how Tinubu will respond to this pressure and what implications this will have for the party's future.
Politics › Northerners Accuse Tinubu Of Running Yoruba-dominated Government "No Re-election by 21lucky(op): 11:35am On May 09
Northerners Accuse Tinubu of Running a Yoruba-Dominated Government "No Re-election For Tinubu"

A growing wave of political tension is sweeping across Nigeria as several northern political figures and socio-cultural groups openly criticize President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s pattern of federal appointments, alleging that his administration has failed to reflect the country’s federal character principle.

The criticism, which is rapidly gaining traction across social media and political circles, centers on claims that key positions in government and major national institutions are allegedly dominated by individuals from the South-West, particularly the Yoruba ethnic group.

According to some northern stakeholders, the imbalance has created feelings of exclusion among many Nigerians from the North, South-East, and South-South regions, who believe their zones have been sidelined in critical decision-making positions.

Speaking during recent political gatherings and interviews, some northern leaders warned that the perceived marginalization could seriously affect Tinubu’s chances of securing support ahead of the next general election.

“Nigeria belongs to all ethnic groups, not one section alone. Federal character was created to ensure fairness, balance, and unity. What Nigerians are seeing today raises serious concerns,” one northern political stakeholder reportedly stated.
The controversy has sparked heated debate online, with hashtags related to “Federal Character,” “Marginalization,” and “2027 Politics” trending across Nigerian social media platforms.

Critics argue that appointments into security agencies, economic institutions, and strategic government offices should reflect the diversity of Nigeria to promote national unity and trust among citizens.
Political analysts say the issue may become one of the defining national conversations ahead of the 2027 elections, especially if opposition parties capitalize on growing dissatisfaction in some regions.

However, supporters of President Tinubu have defended the administration, insisting that appointments are based on competence, loyalty, and experience rather than ethnicity. They also argue that previous administrations faced similar accusations and that governance should not be reduced entirely to ethnic balancing.

Despite the defense, pressure continues to mount as opposition voices from the North, South-East, and South-South increasingly call for what they describe as “inclusive governance” that fairly represents every part of the country.

Observers believe the coming months could witness stronger political realignments as regional blocs begin positioning themselves ahead of future electoral battles.

With Nigeria’s unity and political stability once again at the center of national discourse, many citizens are watching closely to see whether the presidency will respond directly to the growing concerns over inclusiveness and federal representation.
Politics › Nigerians Urge Trump Administration To Investigate Tinubu's Certificate Scandal by 21lucky(op): 2:57pm On May 08
In a shocking turn of events, Nigerians are calling on the Trump administration to investigate President Bola Tinubu's alleged certificate forgery scandal.

According to sources, Tinubu's academic credentials have been shrouded in controversy, with many Nigerians accusing him of presenting fake certificates to secure his position.

"We urge President Donald Trump to intervene and investigate this matter," said a Nigerian activist. "Tinubu's alleged certificate forgery is a serious offense that undermines the integrity of our democracy."

The scandal has sparked widespread outrage in Nigeria, with many calling for Tinubu's resignation.

"We will not stand idly by while our leader engages in such blatant dishonesty," said another activist. "We demand transparency and accountability from our leaders."

The Trump administration has yet to comment on the matter, but Nigerians remain hopeful that their voices will be heard.

You are the one just creating delusions in your head.

You are already crying over unstable tinubu government, obi can not be trapped in NDC and obi can move again if he wish and we his team are behind obi.

You’re calling Obi ‘unstable’ while defending a system where politicians jump parties every election cycle. The irony is wild. We’ll stick to holding tinubu administration accountable instead of defending them no matter what.

Cool story. The Obidient movement still follows Peter Obi and Yunusa Tanko. If you have an official statement from them saying otherwise, drop the source. Until then, Twitter spaces and ‘Chinedu said’ isn’t proof of anything.”

If the movement had crumbled, you wouldn’t be this obsessed with it grin Focus on your candidate tinubu. We’re good over here.
