Every human has an element of greed in them. However in Nigeria, one would most likely associate the igbos with greed many times over, before mentioning any other ethnic group. They have often attributed such tendencies to their reputed business acumen. Please don’t turn back today to give the appellation to another group, just because the topic is not about success in business.

That said, I must state clearly, that Yorubas do not give block votes to anyone. We believe in diversity and we embrace debate. Every election, the major candidates get divided votes in our region. This is healthy politics. Every election is a contest.

The same cannot be said for the South East. They have always given block votes. They gave it to Obasanjo in 1999 and did again for him in 2003, even against the hopes and wishes of the Biafran Icon, Ojukwu.

They did for Yar’Adua, Jonathan and Atiku.

Politics is a game of numbers. And you cannot sit tight in your house and demonise your neighbours, and still expect them to support your candidacy. Exclusivity is an inhibitor in politics. Be appealing across the board.

In 2015, Ngige had a chance to emerge as Senate President if and only if he won his constituency. I was in the South East during that period. The animosity towards him was stifling. A man whom his people once touted as a great Governor, was embarrassed at the polls only because he contested under a “Yoruba” party. This kind of reasoning is not going to get you the presidency.

Another case in point is the demonisation of the Lagos-Calabar rail project. This proposal suffered setbacks in the Senate when PDP was in control of the house. The South east legislators joined the adversary mob and did not lend their support to a project that would benefit them and their close allies, the South South. Do not cut off your nose to spite your face.

Last year, PDP stalwarts from the South East voted to zone the presidency to the North! The very thing you have been clamouring for, you gave away. I won’t reveal my thoughts on the reason behind that decision anyway. (Many people are sensitive on Nairaland and I am not prepared to engage in any online brawl today.)

If you want to win the centre, then you must not be offensive to your neighbours.

Nobody is out to get you. If your interests are appealing, you will win the support you crave.

Lolz....d reason is not far fetched. With d level of animosity/hatred they have for Nigeria and Nigerians, it will be impossible for them to get the numbers. Hence d need to go for a 'mere' VP position, but it is a smokescreen for d 'cookey jar'. Its a ploy to get d president position thru d back door.
With their brazen penchant for bigotry and disloyalty, their (chosen) northern president will suffer a 'mysterious' misfortune/death and d VP will AUTOMATICALLY be.......well u know d rest already.
