it's not about being cool. It's about being honest

Some people on Nairaland would call me a tribalist, and yes, I do attack other tribes atimes, but it doesn't mean I'll clap for Igbos all the time. I'm mostly pro-Igbo and to some extent pro-Biafra, but Igbo people are not helping themselves politically and the sooner they realise fighting the entire country won't place them in a good position that will favour them, the better

Neither GEJ nor Buhari is particularly good for us, but knowing that most of your people reside in the places of the people you keep fighting should make you a bit more receptive. We can't keep fighting everyone like this. GEJ has donne nothing for S/East yet you cchoose to keep him, where is the sense in that? What's wrong with taking a risk with GMB or even voting some random person?

safarigirl:
the Hausas have mostly been ignorant, it's not like anyone ever expects much from them.

But for a tribe that always claims to be 'superior' to other tribes, Igbos are usually in the dark in politics. Yoruba people are the only ones who understand Nigerian politics to a great extet apparently- the only logical ones

safarigirl:
cuz you apparently don't know me here.....and NLers always assume that anyone against a certain tribe must be from some other tribe

Satsified? Or are you training to join the SSS?

Afam4eva:

The fact that i prefer a Buhari which i voted for in 2011 when Jonathan was a popular candidate does not mean that i require everyone else to do the same. My sister voted for Jonathan yesterday and i won't cast aspersion on her for doing so. It's her choice. She has reasons for doing so. We vote for candidates based on our assessment and understanding of them. We have our preferences obviously and that is why the Yorubas will revere an Awolowo to high heavens and the Igbos may not or the fact that Igbos will revere an Ojukwu and the Yoribas and Hausa will not. It's not because either party can't see the truh but because either party are looking at issues from their own prism based on their experiences. You may have seen something in Buhari that another person can't simply see and may see in Jonathan. If Buhari was considered the better candidate then there will be no need for an election. We will just make him president and go and rest. But elections are necessarily because the powers that be know that people like people for different reasons and what is good for Mr A may not be good for Mr B.

I also find it strange that you are trying to use the fact that Igbos live all over the country to blackmail them in voting for candidates from those parts. is this what it has come to. That we cannot vote a candidate we like just because we want to make other people happy. Chineke Nna.

I doubt If you are even a lady not to talk of being Igbo. Common sense will depict this.

This is why I still insist on your stupidity.

In Lagos APC leads PDP by a margin greater than 10% in all but 3 LGAs: Amuwo Odofin, Oshodi Isolo and Ajeromi Ifelodin!

Confirmed

I see, you are Yoruba claiming Igbo.

A normal thing on Nairaland. Another tribe going contrary to the will of Yorubas are dull, Yorubas are the wisest people.

Madam ( I am not even sure if you are a girl cos you don't act like one), give me one reason why igbos should do the will of yorubas?

Some of you are just brainless, Yoruba's have their ideology and you want Igbos to follow them?

Lemon12:
shutup ... And stop claiming to be igbo .... U stuupiid yoruba girl.

Why the hatred on igbos? Everybody has a right to vote whom ever he/she want....

Stop your hate speech ... Futhermore pdp won festac and ojo

safarigirl:
at least like someone said, GEJ can poll up to 25% votes in the North. You can't tell me that Buhari is so bad that he can't poll same amount in the SE

Nigeria may be largely bigoted and ethnocentric,but the Igbos are the most close-minded people for all the education they supposedly get. Hausas are largely illiterate, what's your excuse?

safarigirl:
you can doubt all you want. Tis none of my business. Don't have to prove anything to you, you're just another faceless forumite anyway

owobokiri:


It is too early for this kind of angry rants. This is not the romance section or a sports thread. You take idiocy to neptun levels when you unleash your patently uncouth outburst on an ethnic group simply because majority of them didn't tow your political line of thought, . . If you are just ignorant, one would have overlooked you, but coming here so early in the morning to foul the whole place with your nauseating rants shows how deranged you are. .

safarigirl:
of all the Igbo people I've spoken to.....and I've spoken to a lot, not one has given me any reason to support GEJ

One even attacked me for giving an opinion and went on a tirade about how Buhari killed Igbos (when?) And Jonathan is my brother (how?)....even in the grassroots, the 'vote for your brother' theme is disturbingly popular.

Chai! Abeh sleep dey catch me, been awake since yesterday I don try. When I recharge my brain I'll get back to you.

Goodmorning

you can't prove it bro, stop being a lowlife.

No Igbo will through jabs at his/her tribe this way, even berem and obiagelli who are chronic APCists don't do it.

All your post barely don't content something igbotic, bros you be tribalistic troll abeg.

safarigirl:
.....yes, anyone with a bad word against Igbos is Yoruba claiming igbo.

Your IQ has been exposed. Have a nice day

safarigirl:
dude. If you make me insult you, you'll hate yourself and probably jump into a smally lagoon

Lucky for you, I don't suffer fools....and I've learnt to ignore anyone who registered on NL agter Dec 31 2012. They're usually irrational , have a nice day

Lemon12:
when buhari was head of state what did he do for the igbos? ... He only jailed igbo people... Why did he jailed Alex ekwueme in kirikiri and place shagari under house arrest in his mansion? Why did he jailed ojukwu after coming back from exile? Why did he jailed Sam mbakwe? Jim nwobodo? His only reason was because they were igbo.

safarigirl:
wow.....you went through over 8,000 posts in a couple of minutes and discovered I'm not igbo.....just wow!

FYI, I'm from Arochukwu, Atani village, I hope you know where that is. My mum is Anioma as well, I hope you also know where that is. My great grandfather is the late Alvan Ikoku, I hope you know who that is.

Good morning, and feel free to assume I googled all that shiiit

Tribalists will die of hate.
Igbos have always voted PDP no mater where its candidate comes from.

If theres any anybody dividing Nigeria along ethnic lines its APC.

So young and yet so full of hate

i knew amuwo would be there. igbos full ground for there. one of my neighbours ia a tan coordinator.

Kagame:


No sensible person denigrates his "people" the way you have done on this thread. You even refer to them in the third person as "they" instead of "we" ,meaning you dont feel any form of kinship or ties with your supposed people.

Need I remind you that politics is a game of choice and not everyone will vote for the same political party.Majority in the SW embraced APC because of Osibanjo,same in the core north ;I havent seen anyone begrudge them for that - its their political choice and all politics are local.If Jonathan didnt have the support of the SE,the election would have been a no contest,APC would have strolled to victory!

In my own family,my two brother voted APC while others went for PDP- thats democracy too.

Please apply some rational thinking and dont use the same propaganda shiit you might have subconsciously swallowed on nairaland and elsewhere to taunt your supposed brothers and sisters as lacking political wisdom.

If you dont like your tribe,you can denounce them or but dont sit in your neighbors house and throw stones into your fathers house.
