Wrong!

The North has been romancing the SE since 1959 elections (Azikiwe refused Awolowo’s offer to be Prime Minister and chose to be figurehead president conceding the prime minister position to Tafawa Balewa), and even after the civil war in 1979 (with Ekwueme).

So please don’t blame the SW for doing what the Igbos have been doing effortlessly since independence, and without being insulted or blackmailed by the Yorubas.

The issue at hand should be treated on its merit therefore!

God bless the woman that gave birth to you. Don't mind all these yeye people. They think Nigeria politics started in 2015. Lol

emmykk:



[s]Azikwe was accused by Yoruba leaders of NCNC for miss spending £13,000 which was money use to protest colonial rule in London.

The elite Yoruba, made up of fela mother and coke Davis plus others made huge blackmail on the person of ZIK .
Awo even berated zik that he can't contest a seat in Lagos. Those were the key reason the zik of Africa made those decisions.

For Alex EKweme, it was Obj that handed power to the north (shagari) when he knows the election was not duly won by shargari.

The history you should have focus on should be that of since 1999 because the military did cover out those bad history.

In 1999 obj was voted for handsomely from other region for two tenure even when in his first term his people rejected him.

It would have be better if the Yoruba had supported gej to complete his tenures but because of VP you support a northern, now the consequence is that south shall forever remain slave until they agree. And the agreement should come from the Yoruba[/s].

The last paragraph was even more horrendous.
Yorubas fought against the power brokers in the North to make GEJ president after the death of Yaradua.
Yorubas voted overwhelmingly for GEJ in 2011.
Even after turning against Yorubas in his administration, the voting ratio was still 45:55 percent even with Osinbajo on the VP ballot in 2015.

Igbos should stop blackmailing the Yorubas to gain sympathy and southern relevance.

Hmm. I am very sure that Nigeria will break up one day. How many times will igbos reapeat themselves. Instead of igbos to collaborate with the north ehh, let money drop from the sky

Trash !!!!

Tflex01:


You are a complete full grown nitwi.t...... South East romanced the same north in 1959, 1979 and even the only region that gave Tofa higher votes against Abiola in 1993....

Yet Yorubas never filled everywhere with tears like you people.

Correcto:
Trash !!!!

The same trash you people have been filling the cyberspace with all these years about West betraying the rest of the South while in reality, SE started their betrayal game before independence.

spits!

Trash!!! Abiola won in Anambra and had great & close scores in south eastern states (look at the scores again and imagine if no one voted Abiola from the eastern region. Why exclude the fact they voted Obasanjo? Please go and sit down, you make no sense.

Spits? you lack manners, have you forgotten how you betrayed GEJ recently yet no one is pouring it on your faces? Was GEJ from the SE? People like you kept Nigeria in this situation.

SpecialAdviser:
None sense ingredients. Because of Amotekun they want to court the SE.

We are smarter than that oga.

Restructure or Break up now!!!

Oooh if the Presidency doesn't get to you, it's either break up or restructure, Wow!

I thought they said power isn't giving, why not fight for it?

For Igbos to achieve Presidency isn't a herculean task.

Both major parties should present Igbo candidates as President......SIMPLE.

Presenting similar/same regions has been operating since 1999 apart from 2015.

Opotoyi901:

Amotekun is here to stay and no one can stop it.

Lol... Go and drink snipper

Blackking98:
They have seen their romance with Yorubas is coming to an abrupt end, they are now courting the igbos. I hope my brothers in the east are smarter than that.
I'm from Akwa Ibom o before y'all start tagging me afonja

Lol, if you're not from IMO, Abia, Anambra or Enugu, you're an afonja... Ebonyi and Asaba is also afonja

Nigeria will be better when we look beyond tribe or religion but how competent the candidate is.

hope this helps

But they have been humbled down to ground by we Oduduwas.

AMOTEKUN is ACTUALLY MORE THAN REGIONAL POLICE!!

We are actually still friendly with them that is why the current definition and purposes is attached to AMOTEKUN.

THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN NOW FOR THEM TO CHANGE BEFORE WE TOTALLY UNLEASH THE REAL DEFINITION OF AMOTEKUN OVER THEM.

But why must you name it amotekun...do you mean there's no English word for it

DRSEGUNBABA:
The north is now trying to form partnership with SE lol it won’t work we are waking up to u guys the south will unite and take back our country

Mechie onu, the south hates Igbo's than the North.

SW and SS can unite, leave Igbo's alone

Chop my money!

DRSEGUNBABA:
The north is now trying to form partnership with SE lol it won’t work we are waking up to u guys the south will unite and take back our country

Shut up it will work you can't tell Igbos what to do, we warned you people prior to the 2015 election but you guys were claiming over wise now that your romance with the North has hit the rock you are now talking nonsense. If the north offer Igbos presidency Igbos will accept it period. Fight your amotekun fight Alone simple!

DaBullIT:
So if Yeeeebos make a move to partner with the north

Will that make them slaves to the north too ? as they famously call Yoruba

If Igbos make that move it would be a welcome development judging from the fact that they warned Yoruba's against it in 2015 but Yoruba's thought it was their chance so they could do whatever they like, so if its Igbo turn to do the same why the outcry?

Ugo4hotish:


Lol, if you're not from IMO, Abia, Anambra or Enugu, you're an afonja... Ebonyi and Asaba is also afonja

What do you mean by that?

igbo yoruba hausa president, all are the same. tribe shouldn't be this relevant. the segregation of people into tribes was the ultimate downfall of nigeria. the language you speak doesn't matter, it's what is upstairs.

Wickedtruths:
They tried it in Benue, they failed.
They tried it in Plateau, they failed.
The South West is currently teaching them a bitter lesson.
Now, they have started looking at the SE.

Who would have thought a day would come when the North would start hawking Presidency and people are snubbing them?

Ur are very correct. A time will come when the centre will no longer hold. Not by the barrel of gun, but the spell cast by one few Fulani Political elite on the rest of the nation will be broken. Pple will just realize that they have been suffocated for 2 long.Once the correct alliance is formed, their grasp will be broken even without much uproar. This is my prophesy and prayer in Jesus name.Amen.I hate no particular ethnic group but it's clear a few elite from a particular tribe is bent on lording it over others because power belong to God, this Will not happen

Cancelling post and only disagreed on the last. paragraph show how myopic you are,stop dishing half truth,read your history very well.
The problem Nigeria is facing today start from Yoruba and you guys have not stop.

Am from isoko in delta state and am not choosing side with Igbo but relating to you how the Yorubas currently place the south in a poor bargaining power with the north ,even before before 1960.


Don't even say zik drop awo for balewa,go and read the cause of that decision.

Invariably awolowo and zik disagreement is the cause of nigeria backwardness.
They were the two leading light but after independence they foolishly gave power to the north because of blackmailing and ego.

You guys always say you voted for gej in 2011,it is a pity that the obj that was voted for twice is not from Yoruba but a Niger delta man.

You guys thought you will get presidency so cheap at the expense of another majority group Igbo.

By 2023 it will be Fulani/Hausa president you will get.

Tinubu will never be president

9gerian:
Agreed with the details on Zik’s decision, however, him becoming Prime Minister would have dwarfed all other issues, and at least set Nigeria on the right course. His was a case of cutting the nose to spite the face. In retrospect, that move gave power to the least prepared party, and set Nigeria up for future problems such as is being experienced.

OBJ in 1979 like other few privileged Nigerians in the military leadership is part of the few elites that had no idea what Nigeria needed to move forward. And so far they were all well taken care of, they were ready to continue to hold on to the reigns of power through their cronies. Fast forward to 1999, OBJ was not the Yoruba choice for obvious reasons; he would not deliver because he didn’t have what it takes but he was supported by the North (and the Igbos followed suit) to spite the Yorubas and continue the paddy passing of the baton.

On GEJ, he was initially supported by the Yorubas without pre-conditions. He had his chance to prove himself but didn’t. I mean the Okonjo under OBJ was different from the one under GEJ. GEJ was practically being taken advantage of by all and sundry in and outside the corridors of power. He was inexperienced, and kept empowering his enemies and in turn alienating his own people and genuine supporters. GEJ even sacked one of the best performing power ministers of all times- Prof Barth Nnaji.

He eventually contested the 2nd term election and lost. Most people that initially voted him were tired.

The Yorubas / Nigerians owed him no allegiance; not during his 1st term nor the 2nd. All GEJ got was goodwill in his 1st, and he needed to prove himself to get the 2nd.

On the flip side, GEJ was a gentleman that obviously meant well (judging by his sincerity of not wanting bloodshed) but was very naive trusting everyone and everything. To his credit, he appeared to have steered Nigeria away from the planned carnage that would have followed the 2015 elections. For that, he would always be remembered.

Now, it is hoped that more people would research, question and avoid the mistakes of the past, where ego and parochial sentiments were more important than national and regional progress for the benefit of all constituent parts of Nigeria. For even those (the core north) that are always trying to hold on to power are losing more than they are gaining. Goodwill, goodwill, goodwill!

Nigeria can actually work if set on the principle of real federalism or regionalism, equal rights, equity and justice regardless of tribe, ethnicity, gender or religion! Then progress can happen based on state or regional needs!

Your submission is so classic, am pained how educated south is slaving for less educated north.
The reason is that the south no only divided on language but in politics.
This started long ago and need to be corrected,although it come with sacrifice, only then will Nigeria excel,otherwise the south is a goner.

Former Presidential Adviser, Tanko Yakasai, believes the Igbo ethnic group has a chance to produce a Nigerian President if it gets the blessing of other parts of the country, especially the North.

Mr. Yakassai, 94, made the comment on Friday during an appearance on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily.

“There is a good opportunity for Igbos to produce the president of Nigeria in the near future or later,” he said.

“The political arrangement in the country is such that you need correlation with some parts of the North and South. The Igbo can make a move of getting partners from other parts of the country, in particular the North.

“It is not just to complain; meaningful efforts should be made to reach out to get partners so that eventually they will realise their aspirations; and I think they can.”

The Igbo are one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria, occupying the country’s South-East region, but have not been able to produce a Nigerian President since the country’s return to democracy, adding to the group’s cries of marginalisation.

Mr Yakasai was speaking two days after the 50th anniversary of the end of Nigeria’s infamous civil war which was fought over Igbo secession.

Yakassai believes the war would not have happened if the leaders of the East and the rest of the country were different.

“There were personal differences” between Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu, he said.

“I doubt if anybody, even the military, contemplated the magnitude of the human and material losses in the country,” Mr Yakasai added.

“People were killed on both sides. It was a huge loss to the country. Nobody can give a correct figure of the total number of people killed at that time and how much is from each side.”

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.channelstv.com/2020/01/17/how-igbo-can-produce-a-president-yakasai/amp/

The jackass named Tanko Yakasai has no pedigree to advise Ndigbo when and how to produce a Nigerian president. I pray that any Igbo person who hunger for the presidency of the shithole called Nigeria should be shot.
