DeViNe007:

Go and sit down!what was the outcome of the 1979 election?why did they resorted to the court that award them with a mathematical victory of 12 2/3?

Bighead9:
It's because any Igbo presidential or VP candidate is a bad market. Even if an Igbo man contest along side an angel as his running mate, Nigerians won't vote for them.


Igbo's can never rule this Country.

Quote me anywhere.

DeViNe007:
Now!,nobody should please bring up the highly controvercial 1979 presidential electral victory that was based on 122/3 by the court into the discuss,this was just a flash in the pan of a sort.
However,having explain this,i have being wondering why in all past elections after this,always whenever a presidential candidate of the Northern estration took up an Igbo running mate ends in a defeat for such candidate irrespective of how popular such a candidate may be,IS THIS A CURSE ON THE IGBOS?
Before anyone would start pouring unquantifiable venom on me instead of them to counter my submission with a superior argument,these are instances:in 1993 presidential election,Bashir Tofa was pair up with an Igbos running mate by the name Sylvester Ugoh and was not only defeated in the election but lost his polling unit to a BERIBE!;ten years after in 2003 another northerner in person of our amiable Gen Mohammedu Buhari,who has massive cult followership in the North fielded an Igbo man in the person of sen.Chuba Okadgbo

LabDNA:

yoruba voters have been the biggest electoral failures from pre-independence till 2015 when they suceeded for the first time and started pounding their chests like apes that they are kingmakers.

Yoruba voted for Awolowo the first time, he failed.

They voted him second time, he failed,

They supported MKO he failed and even got killed.

Yoruba voted Olu falae he failed.

They gave Nuhu ribadu ACN ticket in 2011, he failed.

With history taken into account yoruba voters are the biggest electoral failures. They won elections for the first time since independence just yesterday in 2015, they suddenly start beating their chests like gorillas and insulting everyone else.

A 6 year old child knows when yoruba electorates won elections for the first time ever.

They'll be humbled again in 2023, if APC fields a yorubaman.

DeViNe007:

What i know is that, you Igbos will forever remain a pieces of SHIT that you are and as long as this country remains.

Dasuks:


Before u get all excited, stop with the half assed analysis. North/se beat Awolowo in 79 and 83. Whether u factor in the awkward judgment for 79 or the absurdities of 1983, in Nigeria what counts is who is sworn in come inauguration day. And the gap was already very convincing. Only issue was spread. The eventual runoff 2nd round would have been prepackaged by the military for Shagari either way. An Awo victory as slim as that was, would simply not be announced. Nigeria was designed for federative leadership not regional..

That being said u are conflating Abiola's victory with his identity... lol. That was a man who built contacts (even in the East, he won Anambra and averaged more than 40% in Igboland) nationally, over a decades long empire building career. In fact, up until the 1992 ban of old politicians most Yorubas didnt even consider him. He held no real regard for Awolowo or his political wing. His victory was borne from his peculiar persona and strategy. Ofc he knew getting his kin on board was only a matter of time. Ultimately it all worked out. Who was Bashir Tofa ? His money and worth were only for him and his family. In fact, I will go as far as saying as there is no equivalent of Abiola right now in this country.

The Igbos aligned with PDP from 1999 and I would also point out that even tho their Ekwueme lost out to OBJ they gave OBJ all of their votes. Same OBJ that won only 12 percent in Lagos, barely 25 percent anywhere else in the west and only about 30 percent in his home state of Ogun. Lol.. the only successful Yoruba at the polls was more of a northern, SS and Eastern choice than a SW selection... so one could even argue that the AG/UPN Yoruba core political center has never produced a President lol..

Hence, it didnt matter where GMB picked Okadigbo or Ume Ezeoke or Ojukwu ran etc. Who were this men to the bigger picture of SE political positioning. Igbos threw their hat in with the PDP, albeit a Northern oligarchy dominated structure... the irony... I think what u should ask urself is that why has Igbo voting not necessarily followed the ethnic identity of their preferred candidates. What elite resolutions govern these choices. Perhaps, what cultural norms or presumptions and the like. Not the BS u have up here, throwing things together to fit ur narrative. I will repeat by the logic of " what votes do u bring to the table? What is ur contribution?" that is so popular now, OBJ essentially owed the SW nothing. The rigging and machinations in the SS and SE almost made it seem like he was their son. Look at his Rivers numbers for example. Nigeria is actually less tribalized than trolls like u make it seem on NL.

Igbos were on the right side of 79, 83, 99, 03, 07 and 11 some of u on here make it seem like u dont know that the only time the SW votes correlated with the winning party was in 93, 11,15 and this past 2019. If we were to go all the way back to 1959 and 1964 federal elections, the story is the same, with both Igbo and Yoruba losing out in '64. And the West losing its own regional control in the 1965 regionals.

1979 and 1983 on their own invalidate ur claim. Stop getting carried away with temporary political success. With the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, almost every zone in the country has technically been at the center of power over the country's history. They can all say "been there, done that". Wait for 2023, 27, 31 and beyond before drawing ur conclusions.

E pain your ewedu muslim skull.

DeViNe007:

YOU ARE NOT EVEN SORRY FOR TRIBE THAT THEY.CANT DEMAND FOR PRESIDENT BUT RATHER CHOOSE TO BEG! AND BEG!!FOR ORDINARY VP,UNLIKE WE THAT LOOK AT THE EYES OF CABAL AND DEMAND FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IS OURS.
PDP YOUR PARTY CANT ENTRUST YOU PEOPLE WITH ITS PRESIDENTIAL TICKET UNLESS THERE IS ASSURANCE OF APC DOING LIKEWISE, WHILE THE APC CAN NEVER NEVER HAND OVER ITS PRESIDENTIAL TICKET TO YOU HATEFUL,MALICIOUS AND UNGREATFUL LOTS.

LabDNA:


The Ibos are brave.

you ewedu muslims can't ask for your nation, you are not confident enough to do that because you lack cohesion, unity and are cowards. You lack balls.

There is more testoterone in the left breast of Ibo teenage girl than in 10 yoruba full grown men put together.

Iceberg3:


A certain mallam, northern mafia from Kwara once made such boast pre 1999,that over his dead body will a southerner rule naija. Obj became president and guess what,he died.
Who belived Ijaw will rule naija?! But we have one already.

May God have mercy on your soul.

DeViNe007:

You are a stupid piece of SHIT and for your information you will remain so.Now!let me tell something,we the Great Yorubas for long time clamour for True federalism because we want to govern ourselves but since the others are foot draging about it and knowing fully well that we operating a UNITARISM THAT YOUR FOREBEARS INTRODUCED TO US,which would not guarantee all the benefits of FEDERALISM,we had to align with our partners up North,otherwise we wont mind remaining in the opposition.
Even come to think of it we have paid our dues as far as opposition is concerned and one more thing,IT IS NOT IN OUR DNA TO BEG FOR ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY,WHAT WE WANT WE GET UNLIKE YOU THAT EVERYONE TREAT LIKE PIECE OF SHIT!!!

The supreme truth is tribalism, most especially in the North where their hatred for Ibos are been taught right from childhood.

Secondly the Ibos are not united, they prefer money more than anything else.

That is why there is an adage that says give an Ibo man sufficient Capital (money) he will drop the bible and pick up a knife

1979?!?!

How many years, decades ago is that?
Shows you are very old but still reasoning like a .... @40

Such a big shame

gawu1:

Are you saying Igbos like northerners, but northerners hate Igbo's?
In 1979 election, a nortgerner shagari picked a an Igbo his vice
In 1991 election, a northerner Tofa picked an Igbo his vice
In 2003 election, a Northerner Buhari picked an Igbo his vice
In 2007 election, a Northerner Buhari picked an Igbo his vice
In 2011 election two Northerners all picked Igbos their deputies
In 2019 election, a Northerner Atiku picked an Igbo his deputy.
Yet you still wrote northerners hate Igbos?
The fact is that Igbos might not be good to partner with politically. Even Shagari nearly lost

sweetsell:


If you like be from hell fire. Several Igbos open thread more senseless to spite Hausa Fulani Yoruba Ikwerre Edo Delta everyday I do not see you cautioning everyone to ignore that. Is that not enough to prove that you are indeed Igbo n a very foolish one at that ?! Just asking O.
