You see this is the problem.....this politics of entitlement. What has Hope Uzodinma contributed to the success of APC to now demand to benefit from their political spoils....?

In politics.....you don't demand for position using emotion as a blackmail tool. If you so much had wanted a share.......you shouldn't have dropped all the eggs in a basket.

The Igbo nation will not crumble if they have strategically returned Ngige....and i swear no one..not even Tinubu would have been in a position to deny Ngige that position.

PointB:
Tambuwal was Speaker even as an APC minority in the house.

The Senate president position should go to SE even if the beneficiary is of PDP!

ilugunboy:


Whinning....? No

They only waited for the elections to come and delivered their political judgment.

PointB:


Politicians use every tool in the trade to seek advantage, including terrorism, militancy and assassinations; emotional blackmail as you call it is just one of the tools. You perhaps have more to learn, politically!

Ndigbo rejected Ngige! END OF! Given another opportunity, we'll vote the way we did.

Now whether SE get the Senate position or not is immaterial. What are watching now is how the "winner takes all" agenda will be implemented by APC.

PointB:



My friend sharrap.

This is 2015, you think we'll close our eyes and watch you people continue to plunder our oil for your benefit? If you lots know what's good for you, you'll understand that winner takes all is simply a recipe for disaster.

We proudly support GEJ, and given the chance, we'll do it again!

Now if you think Igbos should be punished for their principled stand, you have another think coming...

Ymodulus:


Never Igbos sold their right already.

Never will an ihbo man be there. Never never never

naijababe:


Apart from that, the VP is already from SW! Given the sharing formula, the leader of the upper house is likely to be from the SS/SE/ NC or NW!

This news is a big fat lie!!!

PointB:


Well Senator Hope Uzodinma is not a first time Senator. He has enough experience to lead the Senate in this period when the central focus should be unity and progress!

Ymodulus:


Never Igbos sold their right already.

Never will an ihbo man be there. Never never never

MzJackBaueress:
Now you are talking!
He will only be the Senate President if he decamps to APC since he isn't a first time Senator,that is if Rochas is reelected.

Sloan:


Seems feasible not until you realize that it cannot happen! How can he decamp to APC only with the sole purpose of becoming the Senate President? You think the people who've laboured and worked hard for months and years bearing the insults thrown on them by people like like PointB and his ilk are stup.id? Anyone who decamps now to APC goes to the back of the queue! Even if David Mark decamps to APC today, he will NOT and NEVER be Senate President! That is greed and disingenuity: a man cannot expect to reap where he has not sown! Ngige was sowing and toiling and who pulled the rug under his foot? Ibos! Let them try again in 4 years time and if Ibos want Senate presidency in 2019, the must start now!

ghost1718:
for peace to rain let them put igbo man or south south as senate PRESIDENT, because if they (a.p.c)put yoruba or hausa man, they will bring problem to this country

PointB:


So as an APC minority he was allowed to remain Speaker in a PDP majority house? True or false?

whitecat1:
Tinubu must stand his ground, the people will get over it just like they did when he picked Osinbajo. Most people who will cook and not have the best meat in their house would still go against Tinubu for just sneezing. Go for it Jagaban, if Apc is going to implode over it, then it would happen anyway. Yoruba were not well represented in the last administration and we didn't die, so others can suck it too. But Igbo should be given the Speakership of the house, that's the 4th position Jonathan offered Yoruba. Please don't back down Tinubu.

PointB:


I have my doubts too.

But it will be more awkward to have a government without representative from one of the largest Ethnic groups in the country, sitting astride it main economic resources, because of party politics! Not only awkward, but also intrinsically dangerous!

PointB:



How does describing someone the way he looks indicate pain?

Buhari is old and frail looking - fact!
And he hasn't presented his certificate - fact!

Being president doesn't not diminish facts! So he's an old, frail looking, semi-illiterate!

PointB:
Tambuwal was Speaker even as an APC minority in the house.

The Senate president position should go to SE even if the beneficiary is of PDP!

Akanbiedu:



Abeg leave matter for Matthias. Nobody is giving anybody anything. This is democracy, anybody that wants anything must negotiate his/her way.

LEAVE PDP BEHIND..... MAKE WE MOVE FORWARD.

Sloan:


You should just shut up! You've been clowning around on this forum for a long time but it seems your stupi.dity is without limit!

Ibos made their bed, now they MUST lie on it! No one forced you to vote against APC, but now you want to benefit from their toil, hardwork and sweat? There was nothing dangerous when Ibos supported a man who watched 15K - 20K Nigerians killed and yet supported him! It could never be more dangerous to let Ibos go and work hard to gain political office and relevance! As it is, the Senate Presidency MUST stay in APC, with someone and a region that is all-legs and all-fingers in and not a loser people who are still dreaming of biafrua. Did the NC work hard for APC, heck they did, and if any APC strongman is there, he should get the seat! If Ibos don't like it, they can go and start working hard against 2019 and hope they come to vote with their brains functioning at that time. Again, the Yorubas you abuse and insult have shown you why they built an empire that lasted for more than 505 years while you were still in your forests, eating each other! The same Yorubas were responsible for giving Jonathan the opportunity to lead Nigeria from OBJ to Save Nigeria Group, but Ibos were quick to claim the credit for something they did not work for!

Well, in another 4 years time, would you still be begging for political relevance or you'd be working hard after learning from the behemoths of political sagacity and mental superiority in the South of Nigeria called the Yorubas! For a sensible people, you should be looking for a few of your smartest brains to go and learn under Asiwaju Tinubu, otherwise you'd be politically extinct soon!

Ymodulus:

ekenedegreat:
is dat a maggot talking?
*sweeps it out of thread*

Ymodulus:


I can see anger written all over you. Mr pointB get it, NEVER WILL AN IGBO MAN be SENATE PRESIDENT. If you some like my comment, pretend you never saw it.

Abdulleeh:


I hate when we bring tribe and religion into our politics. These things are what have led us to where we are today. Rather than look for merit we look for rubbish.
My igbo brothers should stop this notion of theirs wanting to see this country split.

When the fire of tribe and religion starts its gonna consume all of us irrespective of whether you are yoruba, hausa and igbo.

PointB:


Politicians use every tool in the trade to seek advantage, including terrorism, militancy and assassinations; emotional blackmail as you call it is just one of the tools. You perhaps have more to learn, politically!

When Jonathan didn't include anybody in the South West in either of the top offices what happened?
Now you clamouring for Senate President, You guys are on your own!
