Big B1:

A leader who isn't scared to pull the trigger regardless of who the target is on

We should continue to identify why Yaradua couldn't do much, why Jonathan can not and will not perform, why OBJ will not get off Jonathan's back, why fineboy Duke will not produce, why Ribadu will fail again and finally emphasize the importance of unity in Nigeria.

IBB is a true leader; a leader that listens, a leader who isn't scared to pull the trigger regardless of who the target is on, a leader who thinks broadly, a leader that completely understands where our problems are coming from and knows how to resolve them. A leader with enormous experience, a leader with broad strategies to empower his followers and his country, a leader with pure charisma, a leader who is ready to work day and night to make the impossible possible in Nigeria.

IBB simply has what it takes.

a leader who isn't scared to pull the trigger regardless of who the target is on

[b]The work of Nigeria is not complete for as long as there is any one Nigerian who goes to bed on empty stomach.

The work is not complete for as long as our people remain divided by avoidable mutual suspicions, distrust and ancient fears. There is still work to be done for as long as our youth roam the streets without food with meal tickets that cannot buy a meal. We all have work to do for as long as factories we have lie in waste or idle, our utilities remain undependable and outsiders who wish us well are reluctant to invest in our economy.

We have a variety of ill-health afflictions, ignorance, and lack the ability to domesticate our environment for the service of our people. We are yet to benefit maximally from research and development, and from science and technology. Recent events have shown that we cannot take the unity of our country for granted. We see a new challenge in conquering new suspicions and demolishing the barriers of injustice and mutual distrust and antagonism. We must now replace clashes among faiths with faith in our nation. We must now

FACT: A leader that has balls will solve our power supply problem in Nigeria in less than 2 years.

Big B1:


This statement basically means having balls to do the right things regardless of who needs to be stepped on for you to accomplish this goal.
Let me give you an example: At some point during Ribadu's time as the chairman of EFCC, he couldn't find anything wrong with folks like Adedibu (late), OBJ, Fani Kayode, Aborishade, Odeli, Tinubu, Akala, Iyabo Obasanjo and many others. He looked other way simply because he did not have the balls to investigate these people.
Today, we do not want this type of leadership in Nigeria, we want a true leader that has the capabilities to simply clean up the house with out any hesitation. A leader that has the stamina, experience and effective strategies to get things done quickly.

FACT: A leader that has balls will solve our power supply problem in Nigeria in less than 2 years.

Jonathan as our leader  = OBJ is in-charge
Ribadu as our leader =  OBJ, El Rufai and a few others are in-charge
Duke as our leader = All big names and celebrities in Nigeria are in-charge
IBB as our leader = IBB is in-charge

EzeUche22:

What is in it for us Igbo?
If IBB sings the right tune like Anioma and other issues and more investment in the southeast, the entire southeast will vote for him.
We do not trust Goodluck.

I doubt if IBB stands a chance even if he runs against my 2 year old daughter in 2011 elections.

koruji:

Whoever is the WE you are refering to - you have always had trust issues.

Check yourself - we don't trust Yoruba, we don't trust Ijaws, but you trust IBB - there is the joke of the day! The only reason you don't trust Jonathan is that you think once he takes the turn of the south, Igbos would not see the presidency till 2025 - as if Nigeria will continue with this mess beyond another 5 years if it is not fixed fast!

EzeUche22:

He has always been a friend of the East. We don't trust the Ijaws due to people like Edwin Clarke. And you Yorubas, well that is self-explanatory.

But what wrong has IBB done an Igbo?

He did Yorubas wrong, but nothing happened to him. Why should we get angry with the man to what he did to Abiola?

koruji:

What kind of psychological make-up is that?

You listed Yoruba, Ijaws, but not the North as among the groups you don't trust.

Since you mentioned those you don't trust, could you tell us also those you trust or are the others all a shrug of the shoulder? - with reasons please. Please remind me again why you don't trust Yorubas or Ijaws.

EzeUche22:

We already know where the North stand on the issue. They want power. And they can have power if they give the Igbo financial power. That is a deal we can make. Northerners always mean their word. They do not talk out of both sides of their mouth. When they say they are going to kill you, they mean it.

And IBB is not from the core north. He is actually from the middle belt.

You ask me why don't we Igbos trust Yorubas, you should know the answer to that. And the same goes for the Ijaw what they did to the Igbos during the Civil War and Abandoned property

Big B1:

He is the only candidate that has the charisma, wisdom, strategy to settle the Niger Delta crisis.
The man is a great listener, he has a broad mind, he knows what it takes to put the best of the best to use, he completely understands Nigeria and Nigerians, his military toughness and discipline is intact.
He is full of energy and great ideas.
