90% of all Igbos dont care about the presidency of Nigeria.

Not when they see an Igbo man or woman as a candidate of one of the major parties. Then watch out before you get bum rushed on the way to the polls!

cstr1000:

look at this Yoruba nigga running fever on the inevitable Igbo presidency in 2023.
please, tell me who is the North and the west? You think politics is permanent? Apart from 2015 which was an aberration when have the North and west ever had a joint action?
So in your mind, APC will be foolish enough to insult the east by parading a SS presidency after Jonathan?

Btw, which Yoruba politician or west can stop okorocha from influencing an Igbo presidency in 2023 via the APC.?

Hahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

If that were true, Igbos would have voted for any of the 3 Igbos who contested the last elections. They did not.

Producing the president of Nigeria no longer holds the same weight it used to for Igbos. Others that have produced the president, what good did it do them? Nigeria is still a messed up place no matter where the president comes from.

There are more important things for Igbos to think about than the cursed office of president of Nigeria that has never helped anybody

None of the igbos ran under a real national party like the APC or the PDP, so nobody expects them to win.
You cannot underestimate the power of national spread and the hope of victory.

Thank you! You have it exactly right. It's too bad most Nigerians are so obsessed with leaders' origins, even though it has never made any real difference for their tribesmen to date.

Speaking as a Yoruba man, I would rather have an Igbo [or Efik, or Birom, or Tiv, or Edo, or even Fulani] president who respects the rule of law, understands economics, freely floats the Naira, massively privatizes and downsizes the FG, cultivates foreign investment, etc., leading to 10% or more annual GDP growth, than a Yoruba president who is as economically clueless as Buhari, and under whom Nigeria's per capita income continues to shrink due to 1-2% annual GDP growth. Other than the empty, feel-good "identity politics" of being able to say "na our pikin dey Aso Rock", the first type of president will have done far more for the great mass of Yoruba people than the latter.

U know say Nigerians no get sense. 57 years after independence we are still bothering ourselves on " my tribe " " my tribe ".
