But Pdp for 16 years never gave you presidency. Not even a vice. And they are not ready to give you the chance now. All their strong candidates are not Ibo. You people are very poor in politics. But you will not accept it so that you can make the necessary ammendments.
and u think apc will give it to us? Mtchew aoc party of propaganda and lies

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?

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

OK.accepted that we voted wrongly in 2015.now.APC is there.wat have they ever done to woo Igbo's.wat have they done for us to buy our love.those who voted APC have well av they been positioned. Wat do an Igbo APC agent got to present to his fellow Igbo's to make them go for APC.ways that thing PDP failed to achieve that APC av achieved
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.

See how far back you had to reach? In the case of Dr. Azikiwe, you're talking about our late colonial to early independence history. The colonial masters, for all their faults, left pretty capable people in charge. Asides Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, we had Sir Tafawa Balewa and other more than capable hands at the helm of affairs so clearly, merit was a factor in picking leaders at that time. Even when Dr. Alex Ekwueme came around we were just phasing into the current Nigerian reality. In today's Nigeria however, all that is gone and you'd have to play your politics right to get power - and the Igbos aren't at the moment.

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.

who and who are the Igbo politicians who need it?

What do they need it for? What have any of them done in their small capacity wherever they are? Who have they helped?

This your senseless mentality of kissing assss so that they can love you is the reason why Igbos can never have any President, because you are willing to sell your sense of self and dignity for people that can barely stand the sight of you, does not mean most of the Igbo race will do same.

Keep kissing asssss, Igbo people don't need the Presidency of a wretched nation. Presidency has never helped any other region of Nigeria. By any index, the South East still trumps other regions even without Presidency. That position is cursed, because the region that has had it the most is the most impoverished one.

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.

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.

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.

MrJanuzaj:
SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit.

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine.

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'.

REWIND TO 2014.
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance.

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did.

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more.

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma.

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023?
On what grounds?
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone?
Is it an appeasement or a gift?

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested.

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game.

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary abuse from nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

IGBOS aren't interested in voting for buhari.

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.

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??

"" there are people, igbo politicians who need it. ""

Beautiful.


Let those politicians go to buhari and collect the presidency.

THE IGBOS HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN IN UNISON NATIONWIDE, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT PRESIDENCY.

Show me the communique of the meeting where igbos agreed in unison that they dont need presidency. Lets stop blocking the chances of our brothers who have presidential ambition with these careless talk. Why are we this wicked? Let me tell you even the business you pride ourselves in, when other tribes take power they can manipulate it to the favor of their people and we will start crying marginalization. Please be guided

We don't want presidency n we will NEVER give block votes to Buhari.

To hell with your wretched vote. Who told you that buhari need your vote? The southsouth are now aligning with buhari so je will share votes there. He has NW, NE and Kogi, Nassarawa and Niger in NC as well as the entire SW. So what is he doing with your votes? Its only an advice from a concerned igbo that we should start playing national politics if not other southern parts like SS and SW will gladly grab the positions since we are not ready. Stay there and be talking rubish, who is begging yoi for votes. Did ylu vote for Buhari in 2015?

"" Show me the communique of the meeting where igbos agreed in unison that they dont need presidency.""

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.

[s]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[/s].

Usual jargon from a confused fellow with IPOB mentality

[s]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.[/s]

Speak for yourself. You dont represent the opinion of All igbos.

Most "igbos" here are Biafra brainwashed yoots. Same set of people that threatened Obiano with first voting him out and finally election boycott. He warned them to stay away from Anambra. Yet he won in 21 LGAs of the state. Their opinion represent a very inconsequential portion of the real igbos. Most are jobless, hatefilled and frsutrated, their opinion doesnt ussually matter
