If Atiku picks a SW VP, he would have committed political suicide.

I wouldn't campaign for Buhari either. I would campaign we tone down our antagonism towards Buhari and allow him finish his tenure.
What would happen should Atiku pick a SW would be that IPOB " no election " message would resonate more on the presidential elections day. Voters apathy would be high.

PDP wouldn't be able to rig using absentee voters, as APC currently control the rigging machinery.
Buhari would record landslide victory, and maybe, seeing we were no hindrance to his ascension, his antagonism towards SE would perhaps decrease. So, it wouldn't be an entirely lose-lose scenario.

Maybe after this, in 2023, PDP would take the region serious.

This is the mindset I expect from Igbos languishing with PDP.

Sounds meaningful to me

I pity Atiku really, it is really a tough choice

But this afonja really want to reap where they did not sow.

PDP they have abused and voted out all their governors even Fayose, is what they are fighting for the VP now. They have no single PDP governor. All Yoruba strong men are in ApC. And yet they want SW VP.

Give them the SW VP under PDP, they'll still divide the presidential vote; they never vote in block, on the other hand, voter apathy in the East.

SMH

It's not a tough choice. It's an easy choice.

APC would win Yorubaland regardless of who Atiku pick as VP. But if he slights the SE by picking a VP outside the zone, he would lose the zone entirely.

Telling Atiku to pick SW VP to divide Buhari votes in SW, is as good as telling Buhari to pick an Igbo VP in 2015, to divide GEJ Igbo support.

It's political suicide, and those making such suggestions to Atiku are those who don't mean well for him.

Some of you embarrass me sometimes.

Sb said he isn't Igbo and came here to insult you, yet you gave him 3 pages of attention to rant, in the name of arguments?
SMH. I mean that Pablo whatever.

And this guy that keeps saying, I will accept Ikwerre that are Igbo and leave the ones who aren't. Are you listening to yourself?
Why does the ball have to be in Ikwerres' court, to decide to be Igbo and when to be Igbo? It's not your job to do acceptance, you are the majority group for God's sake.
So, if an Ikwerre decide to be Igbo today, I should accept. If he says he isn't tomorrow, I will leave him.
If he turns to say he is Igbo again, I accept him.
Jokers.
Igbo people are now house helps that depend on the mood of their masters to determine whether sth good will come to them or not. IPOB Biafra will only make Igbos perpetual ' placaters' of Ikwerre people, so that they won't leave .
And one will think that the people that will be using us to play ludo are better people
o, but no. It's actually Ikwerre people whose highest human achievement alive is Tonto Dike.

I see lack of esteem and pride playing out.
You can never have an Ikwerre friend, who is Igbo. An Ikwerre can accept to be Igbo instantly to enjoy your friendship, back home, he is not selling land to Igbo till hunger sets in.

Once again, jokers.

You and your ilks are to blame for this.

Obi1kenobi:


You really love to ramble on out of context, don't you. I won't even bother addressing the comical, preening narcissism and the delusion that high school level history is some profound knowledge. You're talking about Nigerian geopolitics and Fulani "diplomacy" and what they "had to offer", which on being asked to put some meat on your vague claims, you started digressing into irrelevancies.

Northerners learnt to accede to Fulani rule by force of conquest. And everywhere this status quo is tested in the North, it's met by brutal cycles of violence. Every human being is diplomatic, recognizing the need for a rules-based society that avoids violent conflict as much as possible. There is not a group in Nigeria without this quality, but it is possessed to varying degrees. To claim that we have any lesson to learn from Fulanis (a demonstrably blood-thirsty, power-obsessed group) in diplomacy is laughable nonsense and would show you know nothing about the structures of Igbos society. Northerners acceding to this Fulani dominance says more about the group characteristics of the ethnicities there (especially the Hausa) and the dynamics of their relationship with Fulanis. The Northern leadership's refusal to move away from its pre-colonial feudal legacy is nothing worth emulating and I don't quite see its relevance here on how to advance our goals.
I still can't fathom the contradiction in you coming here getting all worked up over someone's comment about forcefully subsuming an Igboid group and their territory into the larger Igbo nation AND YET telling us to take our cues from Fulanis, whose entire history and legacy in Nigeria is one of land-grabbing and conquest. Do you have a logically coherent ideology to tell us or you're just here to troll?

Lol the point went direct over your head didn't it?
Ok, I agree. Fulani bad, Igbo good.
Fulani grab land, steal land, shed blood, kill people, very bad.
Igbo no grab land, no steal land, no shed blood, no kill people, very good.
Just like I told you earlier, you lack the historical background to think through this.

Consider these.

The Igbos had no kindgom, empire or organized political system. Just like you noted, they only had hamlets and clans.
That means the Igbos never played power politics, state politics nor court politics with ANY of the minorities in the south.
They simply do not have that kind of relationship with Igbos either as a clan or as a political unit. At best, what some minorities dealt with were prominent Igbo clans like Aros.

When the Nigerian state forced both Igbos and the minorities to modernize, thereby forming political entities from previously autonomous clans and hamlets, the Igbos still never had a historical relationship of diplomacy or political engagements with these minorities. To them, Igbos were the closest clans who spoke Igbo and that was that.

Your mistake is in comparing Igbos to Fulanis and drawing parallels from it. How naive. Fulanis are not in the same class as Igbos. Military wise, politics wise and cultural wise, Fulanis have evolved more advanced structures than Igbos. Take court politics for example, as an Igbo you'd be forgiven for not being able to relate to the idea of a Gwandu court sending ambassadors to a Bini court, Oyo court or Kanem court.
That is how states, kingdoms and empires evolved to engage each other. Diplomacy is a fundamental part of the engagement, or that failing military engagement.

Igbos on the other hand, have no political interface, platform, system or culture to effectively engage with Ijaws, Ikwerres, Efiks, Ibibios, Kalabaris, Ogojas, Uhrobos, Idomas, Binis and other ethnic groups.

The British had to install warrant chiefs for them.
The only Igbo speaking clans with organized leadership were Bini influenced ones like Aboh, Onitsha, Ikas and the Aros. The larger Igbo peoples were a stateless people. These are historical facts.

If Igbos have to engage successfully with other minorities or with other big players in the country, they need to be able to build political institutions that can interface with them.
Igbos cannot use the force of arms, as they never conquered anyone and none of their neighbors can relate to an Igbo army or invading force.
They cannot use threats of colonization as that is equally strange to their neighbors who find such talk very funny.
They also cannot appeal to historical sentiments like intermarriage, as group sentiments will override that just like the case of the Ijaws and Ikwerres.

Replace Igbos with Bini, Yoruba or Fulani and you see a different picture emerges.
The Oba of Bini can dispatch court officials to Ekiti, Itshekiri, Lagos, Ife, Oyo, Igalla, Nupe, Ijebu, Iselle Uku and effectively communicate what the Bini policy on any issue is.
The Ooni or Alaafin can send chiefs to Gwandu, Ilorin, Bini, Ashanti or Dahome courts and state in clear terms what the Yoruba policy on say the price of garri is.
If it has to come to a show of force when diplomatic overtures fail, an army can be raised to enforce compliance like in precolonial times.

Igbos do not have such political systems or structures, just individuals migrating and trading.
Igbos need to learn how effectively interact in a modern political setup. This gives other ethnic groups a handle to effectively engage with.

wheeew, another history lesson.
Hopefully you can make sense of it.
Thank me later.

PabloAfricanus, though I get your point with your last post, I must say, the actual content in your post interferes with that point.

u guys allow fools to insult igbos and reply them diplomatically.

The yorubas today cant tell u if alafin or ooni is the overall youruba ruler. The binis are little more than an igbo hamlet who got popular because of their arts...the fulanis are ppl who only became popular wen uthman dan fodio led a rag tag militia to infiltrate hausa hamlets which are now called hausa states (for the delusion of sophistication.)

Pray tell...which institution in nigeria is older than nri kings and geneology?

The nri kings spread their empire without violence and freed slaves under their empire. Nri used omu (tender palm leaves) as national symbol. Ask this maga up there wat the national symbol of his gwandu and bini courts were. The nri odinani religion is still very prevalent today. Ask this bonobo up there where gwandu religion is.

The person known to have done the most in making ikwere a seperate entity from igbo is elechi amadi. He himself said that the aro empire which was a small village in the niger delta region controlled 4 out of the 8 stools tru which the people there in niger delta related at the time in a court arrangement under a confederacy which history calls Aro confederacy. Yet someone is convincing u that we never evolved kingdoms.

Do northern igbos ever think that the british came at a time the nri empire was waning down? Do they not realise that nri empire efectively gave the northern igbos their culture of today. And that they must have wielded enamourse influence in their own way? Simply because as at today italy is a struggling country doesnt mean it wasnt the home of the roman empire which once ruled the world

The only reason idiots like the fool up there insults igbos is because we lost a war.
The japanese once colonised china. They were a power to behold and even invaded u.s (hawaii) in ww2. America not only beat them up but threw the only atom bomb used in a war in their land. It got so bad that america forced them to declare never to start or join a war again unless they are attacked.
20 yrs after their mighty humiliation, they became the 2nd largest economy in the world. Igbos will rise and shame fools like this guy.

Actually my points stand, at least the way I see it.
But if you insist, I'd be willing to learn why.

Let's leave the questions about carving up minorities into unwilling and unsolicited unions for now.

Can you honestly breakdown for me why the Igbos have not been able to form a political block with minorities in the South?

Are you aware the Amachrees in Kalabari can be said to be essentially Igbo?
Just like the Ikwerres who were complicit in kicking the Igbos out of PH after the war?
Why are the Ijaws despite very heavy intermarriage, as lots of Ijaws are half Igbo, very hostile to all things Igbo?
Why do they consistently work against any Igbo cause or firmly resist any grounds for political engagements with Igbos?
Why do the Anioma peoples despite their very well known Igbo origins never seem to be able to make the hand shake across the Niger work?
Why do they all look up to smaller groups like the Binis and Fulanis when they have a bigger group they have shared history with?
And why are Igbos so confused about their place in Nigerian politics?
