APC never sidelined the SE, it's the igbos that have shown unwarranted hate towards the party. When APC was being formed, APGA was invited but they pulled out at the last minute, everything was done during the campaign to appease the igbos but they wouldn't have it. They even voted massively out of hate against Ngige despite the promise of the senate presidency. What more could have been done?

Igbos have an history of being unreasonably hateful and ungrateful, I don't see the hatred going away even if buhari transforms the SE into a paradise. IMHO, buhari and the APC do not need to appeal to the igbos in anyway, they should be the least prioritised if there's anything!

The one group that needs that appeasal is the south south. This is because they contribute immensely to the economy and do not practice the politics of bitterness like the igbos. It was understandable that they voted for their son in the just concluded election and even at that, they gave GMB more votes than the SE. Talk about crying more than the bereaved.

With the nigerdelta votes in the bag, the igbo votes becomes completely irrelevant as the worst that can happen is what we witnessed during the election.

Like every other region in nigeria, the SE will feel the wind of change but they should forget any special treatment or prioritised developmental projects. "Every region will be positively affected" that's the best you can get.

Even Buhari would have been tired of these demands and ultimatums coming from the Igbos.He would be like 'na only una?'

[b]Please stop screaming wolf when there is none present! Nairaland isn't inciting any tribal conflict here, I think we should talk to our kinsmen to apply wisdom. Take it or leave it, the article is on a handful of print media and would be read all over. Nairaland is only a forum where news are culled from other credible news websites or from users of the forum who witnessed first hand events. When Oba Akiolu threatened the Igbos, Nairaland aired it as it was. I'd really love for you to explain the bolded to us. I'm really dying hard to read your version of the definition. I think the groups representing the Ndigbos are painting the Igbos in bad light.

The Niger-Delta outrightly rejected Dokubo and pledged to support GMB's administration, despite the failure of their own to return. The Hausas and the Yorubas are yet to make demands, none that I know of while several Igbo groups keep presenting endless demands and lists like it's a bride price list meant for a groom. Stating the obvious, the Igbos, though obvious through their representatives, are still bitter and it's pointless because the sympathizers are obviously crying than the bereaved. Nigeria is saddled with several ethnic groups and the incessant demands of the Igbos is only out to show that they're self-serving. It's only ironic when you hear someone say "we're not part of 'this zoo'" yet their demands day and night is disturbing. The demands are irritating. Apologies to anyone who feels insulted by my post [/b]

I was referring to the presidential election. Buhari lossed woefully in Imo state, couldn't even secure 25% there

The APC should do an introspection to find out why the planned merger with APGA failed. Did they meet the wrong people? Were they diplomatic in their approach? What was the terms of agreement? And so on. It is only then that the APC should know why the merger failed and try to improve upon it. This was what was done when the initial planned merger between ACN and CPC didn't pull through.

APC shouldn't play the tribal card you are suggesting lest it will crumble. Just my humble advice.

this oyel soup maggot claiming Niger Delta. You can only hate and write rubbish but we must continue to dominate you in your own land. we have come to posses our possesion in yoruba land

Hatefilled Yoruba fellow in action here. Before long, some of you may start to commit suicide because of the Igbo and Lagos.

A few days ago, a Yoruba cdrdiologist in the US openly called for killing of Igbos anywhere in the world.

Instead of declaring Oduduwa Republic, so that Yoruba can fully have Lagos as their own, Yoruba still stick to One Nigeria because of crude oil in the Nigerdelta.

Here this one is making Nigerdeltans of southsouth a special good people, only because he believes his Yoruba can't survive without Nigerdelta and crude oil. Silly fellow, note that the Nigerdelta ns your lot were able to fool those yester years are now dead. The new breed of Nigerdeltans are smarter than your very crude and retrograde lot who believe only in scheming and scheming to exploit others, instead of working hard for your progress.

You know you depend on the Nigerdelta for your land to develop in one Nigeria, but at the same time, you classify non-Yoruba in Lagos as guests. Have you heard of any country in the world where people are considered as guests in any city in the same country?

Others go to school to get new techniques to develop themselves and their areas, so many Yoruba these days get education to propagate hate, out-dated and silly divide-and-rule tactic to apply in the old southeast region to get more money from crude oil. Yoruba in this mindset may degenerate to the level of Niger and Chad Republics in the not too-distant time, forge the glitter of Lagos, think of inner Yoruba lands that have mostly remained behind at par with the level in Niger Republic.

To this Yoruba writer, APC seems to be all and all that matter to you most diffident lot now. Go out and work. Think of what you can contribute to your country, not just what APC can bring to you.

Texcoco:
Wetin concern Ogoni man with Anioma man?? or even Etche or Andoni Man for that matter??Coneheads like yourselves always fear the unity of these close knit regions hence with alacrity you try to divide them and maybe parasite on the circustance..but sorry,the SS has the greatest concentration of igbos amongst the numerous minorities in that region and most now see coneheads like yourselves as the parasites..

yeah.. Flathe.ads statistics 101.

Igbos are always numerous everywhere it favors them. They are 80% of lagos. 90% of Abuja, 95% of kano population..

Who takes a Igbos seriously

U got it,bro......if buhari can take niger deltans to the paradise dey ve always wanted,he ll win the niger seltan's luv.then s/east bcomes irrelevant.we the niger deltans actually want development,irrespective of who takes us to promiseland...the ibos should always know we the s/southerners dont really like dia attitude.

Is Benue a Yoruba state cos I remember APC won in BENUE too. How about that?

What's your opinion on Igbo hatred towards the North?

These Ndigbo people again. Smh

Una nor vote for Buhari come dey make demands. Your very own Jonathan failed in his promises to you people, yet you voted for continuity of that failure. Smh

Jez carry ya cross alone and stop bothering our 'change' Presido-elect

NZEGWUAGU:
Most of you are bastards! How can you say Igbos are haters when it is clear they are the ones suffering the hatred of other Nigeria who are obviously jealous of an extraordinarily blessed tribe. We embrace everyone that's why we move around easily and live everywhere without fear or favour. But because we are made to shine, when we start shining people around us will get envious. Naturally we are a very busy people. How would we have time to hate? It's other retarded, idle ethnic groups that get green with envy when they see our achievements. They are mad because their women are easy preys to the opulence and the strength of character of the igbos, even though igbos do not even consider them worthy and hardly marry such women.

Point of correction, APC never won in 2/3 of the country. They also didn't pull 2/3 of the cumulative votes. APC couldn't win a single state in the SS and SE but the PDP, despite their loss, secured wins in northern states like Taraba, Middlebelt like Plateau and SW like Ekiti.

I still repeat my earlier statement that it's the fault of the APC, and not the Igbo nation, that they couldn't secure any win in that zone and that of the SS. The APC leadership structure need to strategise on how to correct this folly of theirs. They need to have a good structure in all 6 geopolitical zones. A word is enough for the wise.

ShowYourCertificate:
No it isn't. If Buhari and APC are wise politicians, they should strive to win the love of the SE region. This way APC will have a national appeal and not an ethnic party (yoruba+hausa party) appeal that it is at the moment..

Mcowubaba:
chai dis life eh, just like Game of Thrones......
Bcuz some1 has said GMB should develop SS nd ignore SE, u r so happy, eventhough most SE see SS as their allies nd brothers(whic was evident in d last election)......
I blame igbos for not realising that the r all alone in their struggle, most SS people care less abt them... Its a shame dat majority of igbos supported GEJ(sayin he is dia brother, -NONSENSE) many SS people will not do the same if it was an Igbo man dat was involved....
I leave u with ur conscience....

That is a wrong misconception. Why would the Igbos not vote for Buhari? Because he's a northerner? Didn't the Igbos vote for Yar Adua? Didn't they vote for Shagari?

Is there something specific that Buhari did against the Igbos that would make the entire Igbo nation hate him forever?

Bros, a true leader is a father to all his subjects. He treats them equally and tries to endear even those who hate him. Buhari needs the Igbos too, and he can get them if he plays his cards well.

I don't use to comment on any political thread but these people are clearly shameless...how can they have the gut to asked to be fed where they blatantly refused to sow?
