mightguy:And what is the prove that apc will not give it to you? Just a single tenure have not finished. But you trust a party that finished 4 tenures without giving you a single vice. I think it is self illusion. Buhari had picked his vice president from the east up to 3 times. But they still claimed he doesn't like us and refused to vote him. He changed and pick yoruba man once and boom he entered. Who is doing who? |

olaolaking:story. Story. How did you know he was not voted for? A man who ave shown hatred for the igbo nation. Nothing else but hatred. He didn't do anything for the east but what he did was to send soldiers to kill innocent people. 5%...and all sort of nonsense 2 Likes |

olaolaking:story. The last time I checked pdp was the strongest party during that era and almost every northerner ans southerner belonged to it but afta good luck ebere came to power miraculously. That was where everything started. They hate him because they couldn't control him and the easiest way to remove him was to create another political party. Because he was going to re run for q second term in office through pdp. And that is bad bizness for the caliphate... How did apc came to be? What gave birth to apc. Was it not to produce a northerner as president because they can't endure anoda four years in the hands of the best president Nigeria ave ever produced |

africanusvu:This is where you are getting it wrong, and where most Igbos seem to be missing it. APC is the government of the day, you don't expect them to 'woo' you, rather you cross over to them. It's like wanting a rich man to beg you to come dine with him. You have to be the one to position yourself. If you sit in a spot and expect people to come woo you, you just might end up waiting till they Kingdom come. 2 Likes |

boringnigerian: They Igbos aren't there now? If they told you in 1999 that South South will be President would you have believed it? And you think that the presidency will go to South West in 2023? You are joking and don't know history of Nigerian elections. There are things I cannot say here. But I tell you a typical northern politician, including Buhari is more at home with SE than SW. There are many reasons it is so. But come to think of it, who told you Buhari will run for elections next year? And do you think the Igbos wouldn't rather support a northern candidate in 2023 for President instead of supporting a SW candidate. A northern candidate has a greater chance to win 2023 presidency than a SW candidate cos of the Igbo factor. You need to read the study done by the Kaduna Mafians. Maybe you will have an idea of what am talking about. |

safarigirl: Omalicha nwa anyi nwanyi, you have written beautifully on this current topic. Really I don't have much to add as you seem to have covered the necessary grounds that needed to be covered. 1. DEATH WHERE IS THY STING?? It is easy to be enslaved, if your oppressor is in full control of what you love most. 2. If your little finger will cause you to be entrapped, please chop it off What am I saying If Buhari thinks he can kill and maim Igbos, hoping that he can simultaneously keep us in line, by some nebulous promise of a 2023 Igbo presidency, then he may have made one of his greatest political miscalculations. All these attempts by his Igbo political hirelings to convince us of the bloated importance of an Igbo presidency, is just an attempt by Buhari to proverbially re-attach the little finger that makes it easier to entrap us. Unfortunately for Buhari, that finger is long gone. I suspect it was detached in May 2015, in the aftermath of the emptiness most Igbo people felt when GEJ left the scene. We all realized that presidencies are so temporary and over-bloated. Buhari's immediate victimisation of Igbos right from the onset of his administration, by practically sacking every Igbo man from the upper echelons of the military, and his non-appointment of any Igboman into any meaningful position as he took over, practically sealed the fate of the proverbial finger. On the topmost position of Igbo wishes are now 1. a restructured Nigeria 2. B-i-a-f-r-a Igbo presidency no longer matters to Igbos, and mustn't be allowed to matter, ever again. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Sanchez01: We should join hands to make Nigeria great. It can be achieved by restructuring Nigeria in a way that it becomes impossible for a Nigerian president to determine the fate of other states on for instance: distribution of capital projects. We need to completely decentralize political power and reduce the strength of the federal government. Only then can quality people emerge as candidates for the position of president. I see no reason why I shouldn't express my genuine political choice just out of fear for marginalization. The president of a country must not discriminate but we know that the Nigerian president is empowered constitutionally to discriminate against groups he doesn't like. We are human beings not animals. We need to evolve beyond this extremely low level of politicking. It can only put forward brutes or extremely weak people. |

Re: "The Truth About Igbo Presidency: Senator Saraki Playing On Our Intelligence" by Sanchez01: 10:46am On Aug 26, 2018 |
jomonic:I believe you have digressed from the main point. Regardless, restructuring might work but getting everyone to tow the line might be impossible. For starters, the South is not even united to play the game or request for one. The Yorubas have enjoyed more than others because they understand and have mastered the art of politics. They can work with anyone and anybody. It is why they are miles ahead when it comes to Nigerian politics. Politics is a game of numbers. You can only be marginalized when others feel you are irrelevant in the scheme of things. As much as I hate to say it, the South East has no weight, politically, despite being one of the three major tribes. There is a need for stake holders in Igboland to go back to the drawing board and strategise, alignment-wise, rather than vow to hate Fulanis and Hausas alike and what they stand for. Even in the animal world, the weakest don't last long as they would get tossed or devoured by others. In getting strength, you don't expect to hate someone deeply and expect the person to love you in return. Prior the 2015 elections, I recall Ohaneze and some Igbo groups stating they would repel anything Buhari in the South East. In the end, he won but lost the East. While the miscalculation can be overlooked, Ohaneze WAS THE FIRST TO MAKE A LIST OF DEMANDS TO THE PRESIDENT. I'm sorry, but what is shameful has no other meaning. In politics, you are allowed to choose sides as you please but then you are also given the chance whether or not you want to be marginalized. As much as I hate the man Buhari, the South East should not expect breads or freebies to drop on their laps when they have not worked for it. 2 Likes |

africanusvu:No one is asking you to beg! Strategise and align, that is the key strength of a survivalist. You choose where you want to stay on the food chain as far politics is concerned; either at the top or at the bottom of the chain. There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria. This horrible sense of entitlement must be done away with as you must understand NO ONE OWES NOTHING, particularly if you worked against them. Under Goodluck Jonathan, the South West suffered great injustice and rather than cry, her stake holders went to the drawing board to strategise and it paid off. If you are not willing to do the same, then stay where you are and let other parts of the country rest! If you think alignment and realignment means begging, then you have no business with political matters. 1 Like |

Myjanuzaj: The igbo men have shown the nation that they don't want that powerful position for 8 years because IGBOS on an individual basis are intelligent. We already know that for 60 years,Igbo Hausa n Yoruba have ruled Nigeria with the same failure result. That's why igbos don't care about presidency. How many igbos vote in Nigeria?? Only 2.6 million igbos voted in the last election n more than 5 million of them have voters card, But they use it as Bank ID card. WE DONT FUCKING CARE N IF U WERE BORN N BRED IN IGBO LAND, U WILL UNDERSTAND AS WELL. |

Myjanuzaj: Buhari made 100 political appointments without choosing a single igbo man. Buhari chose 17 service chiefs without choosing any Igbo. Buhari called Igbos 5%ters n told us koro koro to expect a different treatment from him. And as old as u are, U think igbos will end up voting for buhari. |

It seems u have self inflicted blindness, Go thru ur thread n check weda a single IGBO is clamouring for Igbo presidency. Which Igbo supported u Let me shock u, If APC presents Rpchas okorocha in 2019 for presidency, IGBOS will vote Kwakwanso, Tambuwal or Saraki en mass. U won't understand this because u probably have very little knowledge about the igbos. If u grew up here, U would have understood who we really are. U are likely an Igbo who was born n brought up in the north...I prefer to say the north because u reason strongly like northerners. |
