Bitter truth

As a tribe, learn to align with other tribes to be politically relevant.

They purposely, made noise and intentionally voted for akitu therefore they lost the right to any position in the "tyrant, devil and dullard's government".

BluntBoy:


Are you now using that to make a case for the Southeast?

You people confuse choices with tribal and religious sentiments and pure hate which is what these people have for Buhari.

You can find two Yorubas divided between Buhari and Atiku but it would be hard to find two Igbos that way. They are more likely to be heading in the same direction and anyone heading in a different direction is very much likely to be ostracised.

It is the very reason why PDP has become a sort of an Igbo national party even though I wonder what this party has done for them since 2003. I am sure if the devil contests under PDP against Buhari, the devil will get block votes from the Southeast.

Next time you talk make sure you do that with intelligence.
So because they want to be politically relevant they should renforce failure and stagnation.
The decision of the Igbos in the just concluded election was out of love and progression. If Buhari had walk his campaign talk, and hadn't retard the country; causing pain, regret, loss ôf lives, negligence of citizenry plight, displeasure and grievances, don't you think the IGBOS would endorse him.

Let's forget about political relevance or party affliction and learn to place the wellbeing of the country first. That the only way we could/would progress....

We have a problem in this country, a very serious one.

On your first comment.
What do you mean buy align with other tribes?
Is Atiku an Igbo man or what.


This democracy and is not like they all voted for Atiku.
Few of them also voted for Baba, just because of the higher population that voted for Atiku doesn't mean the few that voted for buhari should not have their says. And like have said this is democracy, Baba is not just the president of those that voted for him alone but for all, either they like it or not.

Nigeria is not just about you and your illogical opinion which you are of course entitled to, other Nigerians and PMB/APC supporters saw the opposite of your anti Nigerian sentiments, they believed in Nigeria, their leadership and their country.

Saying igbo people voted based on love of country sound more like an assault on our collective intelligence because before the elections, Nigeria was a zoo, a shithole governed by a tyrant, a terrorists, a dead man an impostor from Sudan and abusing and insulting other Nigerians? .Is this how you define love of country? I think it's hate of country you meant.

So, what happened? Nigeria is no longer a shithole governed by a failed tyrant, a dead man, a terrorist and an impostor from Sudan?



Nigerians with love of country saw progress and development hence asking the president to keep governing the affairs of the country, that's relevance and love of country.

You bet against Nigeria and her leadership and you lost.

In America where we copied democracy from, election losers don't demand positions from the winning party, they don't sit around and cry, moan, blackmail or spew propaganda, they move on and wait their turn.

Nyamiri:


Can you be working in GTB and be withdrawing salaries from Zenith?

You people are begging for posts from those you insulted, don't you have shame?

naijaobi:

Lol.. what then is democracy oga.. Don't bring sentiments into this. In a sane clime, election results have no direct impact on how citizens will be treated irrespective of who they casted their votes for.
What about the people that even voted for him in the south east? They are also punished? You, my friend are a comedian..

lomprico:


In you deep mind no Igbo person is a member of APC!

NaMeAboki:


You speak of democracy; yet you are clearly not ready to accept the outcome of a democratic process - how ironical!
The leadership positions of the National assembly were the product of internal elections of the legislative institutions elected by its own members, where party influence and individual choices were all at play.

The SE did not vote for the winning party and therefore did not produce enough candidates (reps and senators) to compete for or even influence the outcome of the elections; yet many of you are still out there foolishly expecting for your scanty few members to win seats in such an election - as if it is a must to vote Igbo; haba, what planet do you guys come from which such obtuse reasoning?

This is similar to the silly notion of Igbo president: how would anyone expect to force Nigerians to vote for an Igbo candidate in a democracy where everyone has freedom of choice; without such Igbo candidate working towards selling him/herself and winning over hearts and minds to earn such votes - why should Igbos therefore expect Nigerians to vote for them simply because they feel entitled to it; are we living in a democracy or dictatorship?

Pls do not confuse the civic responsibility of government to adequately provide the the ppl and SE region all that is due to them in terms of ministerial appointments, infrastructural development, security etc as provided by the constitution.

Note, we are talking about the election of the National Assembly for leadership positions within it, as carried out by its members.

livebyday:


Good points and I am sure everyone can agree GEJ did mess up on lots of fronts . Funny enough I always assumed the SW were opposition.

Well let's say that this is the first time Nigeria is having clear opposition well the ibos are really the first opposition then?

Either way Nigeria's democracy will be better off and healthier as we learn the art of incumbent and opposition, small steps but we will get there.

Cheers

voiceofthetruth:



This would have made sense if APC did not impose leaders of parliament on the Senate and house of reps members. The hypocrisy of this nation is stinking and that is where all our problems start from. If you're not ready to practice democracy, say it and let the world know. Let all citizens decide their fate and know if they want to be part of a pseudo-dictatorship or whatever you guys are practicing.

rkennyking:
it will only take sometime but we definitely going to get our politics right my only fair is getting government right. Its another thing entirety.

naijaobi:

I have been civil all through our convo. But you have now started with insults. Have a good day then.

NaMeAboki:


And in your shallow mind such Igbo member of the APC must be elected by force simply because he or she is Igbo - ppl should not have a choice when it comes to Igbos?

Enice:
people voted against buhari in every part of nigeria. the NW, SW, SS, SE, NE, & NC. the challenge the SE has is with OHANEZE. Ohaneze is suppose to be the umbrella body for all igbo and apolitical in its actions. but most times she is openly biased towards PDP. individuals can endorse whoever, no problem. but when a group takes it to a do or die level for a political party, then it is something else.

Inspectahdeck:


It is quite sad the position of the few that voted Buhari because a large population voted against him and made it obvious they do not want him. Most if not every opposition activist or social groups against the government leading to 2015 election were igbo.

Frankly, I do not mind igbos in the government but they need to know how to play the game called politics and align with other tribes not an individual so we can have an igbo presidency someday. Every country plays this game that's why some countries have president and PM or a party has to negotiate with far right or left party to have the majority in the parliament or Buhari aligning with south west etc.

God bless Nigeria.

Lot13:
stop telling yourselves lies. Igbos care much about politics but collectively stupid and arrogant to be relevant in the scheme of Nigerian politics.

So because a group of people favoured a different candidiate means they will not be included in the affairs of the nation? Why then is it democracy? since according to you, everyone should have voted for Buhari..

Angelfrost:
They are wrong... But, I don't blame them. I blame the useless Ohanaeze for mollycoddling to the president. That was undignified, desperate, humiliating, and largely insulting to the entire Igbo nation: known historically for their independent stance on political issues...
