To start with, Iwanyanwu is wrong to claim that the Igbos are majority in Nigeria. To set the record straight, 2015 general election revealed that the Igbos are the minority in Nigeria compare to the SS, they are just 5%.

On the issue of Igbo president he should forget, one there's no credible person among the Igbos that can command national acceptance for now, beside that we can trust an Igbo man to rule Nigeria because we don't want Nigeria to disappear or we just wake up one day and hear the Chinese has bought Nigeria.

Actually the 2015 general election revealed that there are a lot of people in "Nigg.a Area" that think like, well, Ni.ggas, supporting, campaigning, and championing an old semi-literate coupist from the 1980s to come and lead them.

The 2015 elections revealed that despite having a democracy for 16 years, a free and fair election was something difficult for "Nigeria" to do, as many states were still inconclusive.

And above all, the 2015 elections revealed that the people of the former Eastern and Midwestern regions would always be backstabbed by Oduduwa, in preference of looting their resources and ability while sharing as junior partners to the Fulani Caliphate.

So much for revelations

He said, “Igbo people are majority tribe in Nigeria. We are everywhere and doing greatly.”

lmao.

First of all, may God forgive me for what Im about to say. Some few days ago someone here wrote and posted a thread filled with elaborate racist remarks against Ibos. I was shocked, it was very denigrating and compared them to a low beast. I couldn't even comment that's how hard it hit me. I believe its thrown in thash but thinking to the statement made above by Iwuanyanwu and recalling some of the things that poster said about Ibo is making me think twice if he was wrong.

So if we take stock of demography in each state is Ibo majority?

Is Ibo majority in Lagos, Ibadan, Sokoto, Edo, Kano, Kogi, Niger, Rivers, Delta, Borno, Jigawa, Ekiti, Ondo, Akwa Ibom......?

As much lands and populations Hausas have they are mindful not to claim themselves a majority.

Iwuanyanwu, a millionaire and politician talked like a IPOB in Nairaland. One should not wonder where these Igbos get their ridiculous statements and warped ideas from....people like Iwuanyawu!

jeez, Eastern and Midwestern!

Ive not heard that term Midwestetern in over three decades.

Anyway, if for over 30yrs Yoruba has continued to backstab you and you continue to take it and lament instead of stabbing him back, then you have a problem, not him!

Lol. Eboes are funny people. From GEJ till 2019, to Biafra or we die and now Atiku 2019 . Very funny tribe.

Life is give & take... No one can build something out of Nothing.... Breaking down walls & bridge building anyday anytime will make anyone's path easy!!

No matter how talented anyone is, they still need inputs & coperation of/from others to attain their full potential, bad attitude will wreck chances of greatness & bitterness does nothing but to poison & destroy its vessel.

Humans are more emotional than pragmatic... They follow their hearts dictates 10x more than what is right / logical, even kindergarteners know wheedling will get more than what tantrums could ever hope to achieve... Na cane sef tantrums dey invite....

People achieve more by endearing themselves to other people.. When some think their heads are too strong, don't think deep, retrospect and logically conclude that civility & humility don't correlate to servitude, their journey go longggggggg & they may not even get to the "promised" land (pun intended )

Do the right thing & things will fall in place...


*Modified* Fyi... Those wailing down below.

Permit me to correct the erroneous assumption that I care about your utopian never to be land... I do not care one way or the other.. cross my heart...

The objective of the thread is to highlight the truth which is that... "The renewed agitation is a direct fallout of loss of face & squandering of "political stock" not cos of any genuine or pure desire!! QED...

#Impressive. The. majority will not learn though.

Wrong assumption... They no longer want the seat of president, when they wanted that you never gave them the chance, now they want to decide their future and you wanna give them what they have already gotten bored of..... The ship have sailed, as for the politicians it's a normal thing for them to shout one nigeria but the masses is willingly to do anything to sink this nation and the politicians can do shit because without the masses they are piece of shi.t .

This is what weve always known. That secession nonsense is nothing but a bargaining chip they are using, and i believe they its foremost promoters sit and laugh their heads off at the ignorant kids and adults who rant endlessly online and on the streets over the likelihood of getting their own country (i coudnt care less whether they get it or not).

You claim you wanna secede yet show such keeen inteRest and even participate In elections held in the country- isnt that one hell of an irony

There is no gainsaying about it that the utmost desire of most of the Igbos is to see one of their own spearheading the nation top job, thereby dispelling their age long held fears of inherent "Igbophobia" among other Nigerians.

Nnamdi Kanu rightly understood this sentiment amongst the younger generation of Igbos and decided to take advantage of it by his fathom message of Biafra rebirth which was taken to a heinous height in Buhari's administration simply because most of them were against his emergence.

In as much as i would have liked to see one of them rule the country, the senseless opposition and unpatriotic display by some of them is exposing the demon in them thereby creating more suspicion in the mind of some of us who might want to sympathize with their course.

Very valid points. The most irritating part is you see these guys take sides with other countries (say in an online feud) to curse the hell out of their own country. How do you expect one to reach across to them et alone vote one of thiers to such an exalted position?

This fixed anti-state posture theyve adopted since jonathan's loss has done them no good and never will. Politics is about negotiation, mutual respect, bridge building. You dont threaten the state into doing your bidding especially When you dont hold the aces.

To all the deluded mofos who are insulting igbos as usual, how and why you think the present and future generations of igbos are going to continue taking this shit from Nigeria beats my imagination.
You call them second class citizens, they can't be trusted, you judge them unfairly even when the criteria used are present in other ethnic groups all because of a war imposed on them and won for the Nigerian army who can't win any war without external help.
If igbos are lower in intelligence, in human capital development index than other ethnic groups, it would have been tolerable but alas, the converse is the case.
You can insult IPOB to your heart content but let it be known that a day will come when the fg will long for the days of Nnamdi Kanu.

You are so bitter. How do you live with yourself. Living away from you would be ideal, the bitterness in you is alarming and likely contagious..
Why even take the words of politicians rejected by their people, seen as scoundrels and out-of-touch?

If Modath is bitter, what would you call all those (your brothers i presume) who litter thjs board with all manner of disgusting hate speeches- sweet i guess?

Smh.

Remove the huge logs in your eyes so you can see clearly to remove the spec of dust in someone else's.

Lol. Eboes are funny people. From GEJ till 2019, to Biafra or we die and now Atiku 2019 . Very funny tribe.

certain things are predictable for 2019:
1. Ohanaeze is going to come out and declare 100% support for Atiku and call out that any Ibo who does not vote Atiku is a bast.a.rd. They will give the support without any negotiation and tradings for the position of VP. Even if they ask for VP, realizing Ibo political deficits across the nation, Atiku is likely to look elsewherw for VP.

2. Nwabueze, Ekwueme and their hosts of leaders will come out and complain that Buhari has marginalized Ibos and thats why Atiku got their endorsements. This will further fire up their supporters who will castigate Atiku as anti West and anti North but pro East and that he has promised them a referendum on Biafra if he wins.

3. Atiku has competed in every election since 93 to become President and failed in each one. He is hungry for that position and will tilt to anyone that can get him in. He has realized what Tinubu can do and will approach Jagaban for help. Jagaban has learnt, with Buhari, the dos and donts of alliance with North. Obj and Tinubu have reconciled but not Atiku. Tinubu will hold Atiku's nose to the fire. The conditions will be too hard for Atiku to accept. He may have to switch to Oshiomhole with offer of VP.

4. Atiku is a personification of corruption and theivery. Those Governors that came to government house with intention to get rich quick but has been reined by Buhari's anti corruption crusade and a lot of their bank rollers wil jump camp, abandon Buhari and form new party under Atiku. Same goes for Senators and Reps.

5. If Atiku is able to satisfy Jagaban's demands and secure his support, all the thieves with money hidden away and those almost bankrupt by Buhari will see new horizon to return to business of corruption as usual and will pump plenty of money in. Likewise, foreigners who benefitted under a regime of corruption but are finding it hard to get contracts under Buhari will also aid Atiku.

6. Either way we look at it, Soludo is deffinitely going to be in Atiku's cabinet. Soludo is pro Yoruba and may succeed in convincing West to relax and give some reliefs for infrastructural developments in East.

7. Corruption and free looting will return big time but Atiku will use secret agencies to persecute perceived enemies instead of turning them to fight criminals.

Ohhhhh! So it is now down to a question of "brazenly sopporting" them. Haha. How convenient. You "brazenly" condemned Modath- can you point us to ANYWHERE you "even slightly" condemned those brothers of yours for their vile comments?? Or let me guess- youve NEVER seen such comments from them.

And as for getting down to the "pen1s hole" gutter with you, i wont- im not a pig and detest filth with my whole being.

You are an ignorant fellow.

Is there any ethnic group known as SS? Are Igbos not indigenous to SS?

No sensible Igboman cares about your failed colonial entity called Nigeria, you are doing a good job ruining it.
Igbos commands acceptance, trust and global command in world class institutions like World bank, and civilized nations.

Presidency is the ultimate goal of the Igbo? Indeed!! The beauty of things like this is that at the end of the day, opinions whether solicited or not will fly freely guided either by pecuniary interersts or ignorance. When a sore lack of understanding of an issue prevails, the majority of the gullible appear to have their way for a time whilst inconsequential naysayers latch unto said ignorance and attempt to feed fat and this, they cannot do quietly.

At the end of the day, resolute truth with faces set as flint will prevail. There may be some false starts here and there and seeming mistakes but the underlying cause of honour and determination will stand the test of time and prevail.

The deep calleth unto the deep...
