Igbo man has won an election in SW before.... Azikwe
Yoruba man has never won an election in SE

Eastlink:
The topic was a fallout to those who say we don't build bridges.
This thread is pointing to the SW sophisticated ones who have never since 1960 voted an Igbo candidate.
The SE has voted every tribe to power, but when it comes to their turn you hear mischief maker giving tribalistic reasons why they shouldn't be President. The SWesterners can never be liberal as the Igbo's in Nigerian politics, yet they call us names.

Eastlink:
Okay let's believe it happened before independence, how did it turn out for Zik. Cross carpeting right?
But the truth stares you in the face. Have the Yoruba's ever given even 2% votes to an Igbo candidate since 1960?

Peter Obi was the Vice Presidential candidate of PDP and he got more than 40% of vote cast in 2019 election in Yorubaland

mercyville:
All we can see is still the usual hatred Igbo have always shown.....from Azikiwe...
to Yoruba by always voting against them.
Ask them..who is Tofa that 3 out of 4 states of SE had to vote him over Abiola.Shame to self centred homosapiens!

But your people have told us time without number that Atiku was the reason they voted PDP and not because of Peter Obi.
Some even went as far as blaming the picking of an Igbo VP as the reason why PDP lost the elections. A Yoruba VP for Atiku was their choice but it didn't sail through.
We were all witness to this.

pazienza:


You can imagine SE giving 47% of our votes to A Yoruba candidate , a Muslim-Muslim ticket, in an election an Igbo son was a VP to a major contender in Tofa.

Most liberal? Nope. That's most stupid and disunited, according to Nigerians.
Those who do their opposite are sophisticated.
But if we do the opposite, we became tagged tribalists, hateful, wicked, you mention it.

helinues:
What do you people gain from peddling lies on the internet?

How many states do we have in 1993?

Gosh

Educated illiterates everywhere

helinues:


So we have 36 states in 1993?

True. Igbo's owe Nigeria nothing.
As someone said, 2023 will either unite Nigeria or divide this country.

Eastlink:
The question is has your people ever voted an Igbo candidate?
Before you come out to castigate the Igbo's first look at yourselves and you'll see the Igbo's are far liberal than you lots.
Despite an Igbo VP in NRC they still voted Abiola. When will the Yoruba's reciprocate the Igbo's for their gestures in 1993 for Abiola and in 1999/2003 for Obasanjo?

pazienza:
Abiola got a combined 47% of total votes in Four SE states of Abia,Enugu, Anambra, and Imo.

Abiola got:

Imo: 44.86%
Anambra : 57.11%
Enugu :44.86%
Abia:41.04


Average = 47%

When has a Yoruba ever voted for an Igbo candidate in the history of Nigeria? they cross carpeted when Zik's NCNC won fair and square in the Western region under some ridiculous fear of Igbo domination, it's on historical record that Yorubas abi Yaribas introduced tribalism (ethnic politics in Nigeria), they are the progenitors of tribalism and we are only learning from them. The real purveyor of hate speech Akintola himself set the ball rolling way back in 60's...most of the things they accuse Ndigbo of doing today, they started it... just ignore the inconsequential loafers.

In 2011, Jonathan won five of the six south west states and got over 60% of the total vote cast in the region in an election a Yoruba son was a VP to a major contender.

In 2015, Jonathan won Ekiti State and got over 42% of the total vote cast in south west in an election a Yoruba son was a VP to a major contender in Buhari.

Most liberal? Nope. That’s the most selfish, greedy, cunning and ultimate betrayal of southern unity.
Those who do the opposite are southern unity lovers.
Hizzzzzz.

pazienza:


Jonathan is not Igbo now, is he? By the way, he got over 95% of the votes casted in SE at that same 2011, and we all know of the election apathy that greeted the presidential election in SW in 2011. Turnout was poor. And was Buhari really a major contender in 2011? We can as well claim he a major contender in 2007 when he had Ogbonnaya Onu?
I don't think so.

In 2015, The rebranding of Buhari was done by Yoruba controlled media, just like GEJ demonization was done by same .
But fair play, many Yorubas voted for GEJ. But GEJ isn't Igbo now, is he?

Jimasun:
There were three Igbo states in 1993.

Imo, Anambra and Imo.

Abiola lost in Imo.......



Abiola lost in Enugu


Abiola only won in Anambra.

Stop lying.... Abiola lost in Igboland.

Unfortunate liars

seunmsg:
What is the OP smoking?

MKO lost three out of the four eastern states in 1993 and OP still want to convince me that Igbos massively voted for MKO. Like seriously? Smh!

Mightyhaiz:
there has never been 3 Igbo states.. Enugu was carved from anambra the same day abia was carved from IMO..

lionshare:


See below. PDP got 43% in the SW.

Jimasun:
Abiola lost in three Igbo states............... Fact


Abiola won in only one Igbo states.


SE states in 1993

Anambra.......................... Abiola
Enugu................................ Tofa
Imo..................................... Tofa




Igbos please stop lying.


Abiola only won SS and SW.

Tofa won in SE...

Eastlink:
You're right. We practice true democracy then. Even up north wasn't different, Tofa lost his home state of Kano to Abiola.
Abiola won in Anambra, Edo, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, Cross Rivers and garnered large votes in northern and other SE/SS States.

Only the SW voted on tribal lenses. Take a look at Ondo state as well as other SW states in the 1993 voting and you'll understand the tribal identity of our Yoruba brothers. This isn't a bashing but the reality on ground.
