And here is your answer. https://www.nairaland.com/5505636/igbos-voted-abiola-1993-proof

Misterdhee1:

Tofa won in Imo, Enugu and Abia. Abiola only won in Anambra.

UdechiHD:
I didn’t want to derail this thread, but records must set straight. Yorubas have never voted an Igbo candidate in a General election, but we’ve shamed you guys and even voted your sons over ours.
In 1993!
1. Bashir Tofa’s NRC — 55% SE votes (With Sylvester Ugoh as VP)

2. MKO Abiola’s SDP — 45% SE votes

proeast:


Lol, so you take the things that happen in Nigeria on their face value? Ask yourself why Obasanjo and Olu Falae emerged as flag bearers in the two major parties in 1999?

Who sponsored Obasanjo then, a man that just came out of prison?

The military heirachy believed that only a Yoruba president will heal the wounds, following the humiliation and death of Abiola.

Things don't just happen naturally in Nigeria. They're manipulated from behind the scenes.

Misterdhee1:

You guys voted for Tofa notwithstanding. Yet, northerners that most people feel are tribalistic voted for Abiola enmasse against a northern candidate.

You better start the bulkanization process now....don't wait till 2023...idiot...chest beaters...if your people like, make dem turn the country upside down....your people don't matter at all...those that matters are the Niger-delta people...your lands are full of woes and curses...what do you want to do? You can't blow any pipeline....most of your important people have deserted your cursed land and relocated to Lagos and abroad respectively...
Come and leave the shores of this country and start your own country...idiot...
Nyamiri people cannot reap where they didn't sow...nyamiri people are mostly in PDP...and you know. that if you mobilize people along your party line , you might be victorious...and not what they are claiming now...
Timubu with Bihari saw a lacunar in PDP and they came together to form APC with few members from the then fragemented ANPP and APGA....and their team-up came out to be victorious...then, nyamiri people that don't know how the party was formed later came and is requesting for the presidential position in the party that you didn't form...[/s]

UdechiHD:
Tofa won the North West! Abiola was fortunate in Kano and the NE!
Yet the same northerners voted for Buhari in 2003 over your brother Obasanjo. Don’t shift the goal post.

Misterdhee1:

He wasn't fortunate. He won both Kano and Kaduna because hausas were liberal with their choices and played to the general tune of the nation at that time. You guys preferred Tofa and got him more votes than a fellow southerner. So please save us the story of you guys playing a role in Abiola's victory. It's falsehood.

loopman:


So go and get the military to decree the two major parties to gift the tickets to ibos

However we are in democracy under civilian rule, people use their creativity, strategies and strengths to win election and not by sitting in your bedroom to be issuing secession threats up and down

proeast:


The truth is that no zone can make itself president without the active support of others. The SW couldn't make it until others supported them. Even the NW and NE had been voting for Buhari but he couldn't make it until he got additional support from the SW in 2015.

When others keep telling Igbos that nobody will support them, or that other zones won't vote for them, you're simply saying that we are not needed in Nigeria. We have an adage in Igbo that says he who is rejected does not reject himself. So, we have had enough patience already and if by 2023 we are sidelined again, then it means we would have to take our destiny in our own hands and walk away.

UdechiHD:
You’re still shifting the goal post despite various evidence. I believe you were gobsmacked seeing the above fact. I told you Ndigbo and Yoruba’s are not mates when it comes to political liberalism.
As a matter of fact, a lot of us are beginning to realize we messed up for not supporting Sylvester Ugoh with 100% votes in 1993 when he needed us. The same happened in 2003 when Buhari/Okadigbo needed us to finish off Obasanjo in the south after Baba has done his in the north.

However, Yoruba attitudes has proven Ndigbo to be the biggest losers. The 2011-2015 election that pitted Jonathan a southerner to northerners exposed Yoruba’s as the worst hypocrite you call others.

Yebosola:

... small sense shared into dozen, ....

Misterdhee1:

U be mumu. No single election since the turn of democracy has seen yorubas voting overwhelmingly for a candidate, like igbos do. Even Buhari depsite the change slogan didnt get 75% votes in 2015. Swest doesn't put all her eggs in basket. We are sophisticated for a reason, and don't play politics of hate. Despite gej performing woefully, and the vibe of the entire nation tinting towards a change of government, you guys still voted overwhelmingly for him because you hated apc with passion. And please stop this baseless comparison with Yorubas, we are several classes above you guys when it comes to politics. You guys should concentrate on running businesses in Alaba market. That's una area of expertise

proeast:
Nwodo has said it all, nothing more to add. Igbos have passed the ball and it is now in their court. So, whatever they return is what will decide the way forward.

Igbos have shown more love to Nigeria than any other group but what did we get in return? Hate, envy, jealousy and wickedness. They joined forces with the sole purpose of keeping us down. However, it is no longer business as usual, something will definitely give this time around.

Igbos embraced GEJ, not because he is an Igbo man but simply because he ran an all inclusive government which the Igbos have always asked for, and I don't think that too much. We stood with him through thick and thin, even when facts on ground showed he did more for the North than any other zone.

When the results were being announced, and it became obvious he was going to lose, many places in the East became quiet like a graveyard. I could feel the frustration, anger and sadness in many people. I believe it was at this point that many Igbos joined IPOB because they totally lost faith in Nigeria. Now, imagine what will happen in 2023 if/when the Igbos are sidelined again. I don't need any soothsayer to tell me what is going to happen. That will definitely be the proverbial last straw that will break the camel's back.

What Nwodo said is obviously what is going to happen and that is why IPOB is praying that Igbos should be sidelined so that they can achieve a consensus in the demand for Biafra.

proeast:


It's obvious you have saw dust for brain. Please don't quote me next time, I'm allergic to dull people

proeast:


Let me address your own points respectively

1. Igbos are not threatening anyone, at least we aren't saying we are going to kill anyone or to set Nigeria on fire. Rather, it is a promise. Telling Nigerians that we will chart our own course where we will have our dignity is not a threat. We have the right to self determination.

2. Having a secession clause in the Constitution or not doesn't change anything in the long run. We have the numbers and global spread to bring Nigeria to its knees. At the moment, the percentage of Igbos asking for Biafra is not up 30% yet Nigeria is feeling the pressure, then imagine what will happen when up to 80% of us become passionate about it. Igbos make up the highest number of Nigerians abroad and if they form a critical mass against Nigeria, the result will be devastating on our corporate image. Also, we have influential personalities in strategic places globally that could help us dismantle Nigeria. Nigeria is a very weak country and it would be gone once the US and UN are convinced to break it.

hollah123:
let me address it based on the points u raised
(1) Power can never/will never b given by threats,if that's Igbos strategy to get power then they are on a very long thing

u sit down in one corner n some people are really strategizing hard n somehow u come with threats so as to have what others worked hard for,Na so e easy reach?

(2) On the issue of joining Nnamdi Kanu,if they like let them join Hitler,just one question anybody will ask them is .........is there seccesion in the constitution?
Some people think it's by making noise,d UN,FIFA,US,n all those that they run to doesn't even care so your best bet is to master d act of politicking n use it to your advantage like others.

And to I'll informed Igbos who will talk about micro zoning,ask yourself was there micro zoning in 99 when ekweme contested against obj, Ogbonnaya onu contested against Olu falae.....so theres nothing like it's our turn or any cheap blackmail...it's d South's turn n any southerner can contest

ogbuefi677:

Oga you can lie ooo.
Ogbonnaya Onu contested against Sam Egwu for Ebonyi state governorship and narrowly lost the elections in 1999.
He never contested for president in 1999.

Lol, that's what they don't know. Many Nigerians are incapable of critical reasoning.
The country is already in the doldrums and I can tell you for free that Nigeria can never survive a total Igbo move for balkanization.
There won't even be any need to take up arms. To even fight who? The NE is in shambles. The NW is in total disarray. The NC is a killing field and it is fast moving south wards. The economy is in a palous state. Nigeria is already in coma and a serious push by the Igbos will break it up totally.

hollah123:
if u believe Boko haram is truly a war then u are deceiving yourself,that is North's siphon pump.that is their own oil,do u think it's easy to allocate 1 bullion dollar against insurgency n not buy a single weapon?

see ehn,war can't break out u Igbos better learn politics n beat others in d game of politics order than issuing war threats........if in doubt just look at d way the government handled revolution now today n how they did python dance,don't u think they can do more to Boko haram?
they can but they will not cos it's their meal ticket,so bro work for presidency n stop cheap blackmail n threats

hollah123:
it's obvious u ipob miscreants don't know anything u just come here to argue blindly, Ogbonnaya onu contested the Abia guber election in 1991 n won,he was sworn in as governor in 1992.

Go n real about APP, ANPP in 99 n come back to tell me Ogbonnaya onu didn't vie for presidency

UdechiHD:
So online comments is now the views of Imo people. Have you forgotten that Rochas was among the founding fathers of the APC and Imo state was among the first APC state in Nigeria. Therefore, nature has to take its course with Hope Uzodimma continuing as Governor.

If those that want Nigeria to continue existing are wise and sensible, they will see the quest for Igbo presidency as a do or die affair. This is because the Igbos are gradually pulling out of the union and the effect of their psychological withdrawal is having serious adverse effects on Nigeria.

The Yorubas already believe that Nigeria is given them what Oduduwa cannot give them, but the Igbos believe that the worst form of Biafra will be better than what they're experiencing in Nigeria. Who between these two groups do you think should be pacified for peace and progress?

That the same fallacy you would use to bring calamity upon your self. Do you understand what a cannon folder means?. You see all the present rubbish going on in the north would be Galvanize and the east would be blamed as the cause. Mind you they don't value life .an woe befall you if the other parts of the south choose to sidon look .then you will understand. You will be on the defensive .they would figth on your land not on theirs. This in it self is already a disadvantage.Please try and read the book called the Art of war.Then you can get small sense to talk about what you know nothing about
