Why are u guys always guilty of selective history ...so u expected zik to form government with a man who has shown he hated him in the 1950s even sacking one of yoruba land highest Kings for being friends with zik ?

Come on na ...well I'm not surprised ...most of u even expect south south to support your quest for 2023


you're not Okay, he didn't banished the king because of his alignment with Zik.

It's not possible in South west to banish him with that reason.

Oga, you don't know How Yoruba tradition works more than me.

He can't just banish Alaafin of Oyo because he liked Zik.
It's not possible and the Oyo mesi will never accept.

Probably, alaafin publicly campaign for Zik, which is against the traditional stool.

Since 1950, South East and North have been working together.

Can you please, tell me how you were forced?
When Awolowo offered you guys Prime Minister, what happened?

Were you forced to work with the North then?

Mtcheww.

Since 1950, you guys didn't work with South, instead you were working with the North.
You're now shouting southern unity when you yourself didn't work with South.

Stop lying Awolowo never offered Zik presidency. How can Awo offer what he doesn't have in 1959?

And why should Zik work with an ogboni like Awolowo who was rabidly anti-Igbo, anti-Zik and anti-East, which was evidenced in all his newspaper articles and even in his autobiography published in the 1940 and 1950s respectively before even talking about independence.

You yorubas should stop thinking that everyone here has an impaired sense of history like you do.

Arrewa:
The north will never vote an igbo man!!

No sensible northerner will ever support an igbo man into the corridor of power!!

Nobody is stopping them from contesting... They should contest politics is a game of number and logical strategies.

Since after war, Igbos have insulted and ridiculed the North, they have blackmailed and castigated us for nothing sake. They have ruined our reputation for Decades with lies and fallacy with the help of the southern media, you blame us for your misfortunes, you shed corockodike tears and point your filthy fingers to us to get sympathy, any politician who wants relevance, points his gun to the North while igbos stay behind and load his gun...

Upon your falsehood and wickedness towards the people that did nothing to you, you still storm the Church on sundays, sit in the front seat and recite the part of the Bible that says: "do not bear falsehoods against your neighbors or your labourers" swimming in the ocean of hypocrisy

Today you want same north to support and vote you...

No...it's Biafra or death!!

North doesn’t begin and end in North West. There’re north central and north east. So we know the north that vote Southerners. Your own north didn’t, but Obasanjo and GEJ were presidents in Nigeria. So go and take your Fura

2023: At no time did I say Igbo will never be President — Yerima
…says reports handiwork of mischief makers

President of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Alhaji Shettima Yerima has denied a statement credited to him that Igbo people from the Southeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria will never produce a president.

It will be recalled that the former Governor of old Enugu State, Dr. Jim Nwodo recently said that 2023 was non-negotiable for Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction.

Against this declaration, the social media later became awash with reports that Igbo will never be given the opportunity of governing the country.

But speaking with Vanguard yesterday, Yerima said that the statement must have emanated from mischief makers who were bent on dividing the country.

He said that what Nigeria needed at this time was competency which he believed that the people of the southeast to move the country forward.

He, therefore, dissociated himself from the statement, stressing that most of his friends and associates were from the zone.

“I don’t know those enemies of this country who go about making stories that are not really about me. I am a true Nigerian and I also believe that citizens are equal especially in a country like ours. I can’t remember granting any interview like that but I don’t know what mischief-makers tend to achieve.

“But the truth of the matter is that the story that is credited to me is not true. It is not me. Most of my friends and closest associates come from the southeast and just yesterday, I made a statement and said look, on the issue of the president, we are even looking for competency. It is clear that some people are working to disintegrate the country and I saw we are more divided than we were before. And it was on that basis that I had a rethink and made my position very clear as that yesterday.

“Let us come together and form a pan Nigeria movement where we will get across to our counterparts in the southern part of the country. The southern part includes the southeast, southwest, south, and other parts of the country so that we can form a national platform where we can always interface on issues relating to the betterment of this country.

“So, how could I again summersault and go back the other way and say otherwise of it? So, this statement is coming from mischief makers and whatever they are doing will be exposed by God’s grace when the time comes. But on this, I am not part of it and I will never be. Don’t forget I married from the south. How could I have gone that far to begin to build enmity between me and my fellow Nigerian brothers? No, it is not true”, Yerima said.

NORTHERNERS and their antics !

But we in the southern part of Nigeria knows their heart and their intentions whether they come out to accept a statement or deny a statement.

The other day the head of Miyetti Allah said that the whole of Nigeria belongs to the fulani ethnic group.

Only for him to come out and deny it when the words were creating reactions across the country.
