OfficialAPCNig: Don't mind him. With the way and manner they are blabbing about political merger and consensus, one will easily forgot that ANPP led by Ogbonnaya Onu and a faction of APGA led by Okorocha were signatories to the formation of APC. Peter Obi refused to move because he knew that Igbos will be relegated once power has entered the hands of Fulani mafians. Unfortunately he was right, Ogbonnaya Onu could not even clich secretary of state despite his brigde building. So that is his hope. That when the crunch time comes igbophobia will give him an edge. Unfortunately Igbos are firing from all cylinders this time around. 2023 come fast abeg. |

gwafaeziokwu: Lol, which presidency? You mean that figurehead second fiddle to Balewa called Azikwe who just had to attain the presidency because we became a republic and we had to severe ties with the British Queen. That matter is left for another day. You are talking to a tribe who have contested a nationwide election on a Muslim-Muslim ticket and won due to the political acumen we control. Come back here when any Igbo man achieve that feat of winning a nationwide presidential election through the ballot. You are talking about a tribe that produced an interim president through calculated onslaught against the military and went ahead to produced a president that steered the nation for 8 years. Come back and duel with me when an Igbo man achieve the feat of winning a nationwide election. You spoke about Yorubas in opposition, yes that’s true but even in opposition we wielded more power than you guys that are always second fiddle to the North with no clear path to power. Awolowo in opposition has more political weight than the neophyte called Ekwueme who can’t even win a presidential primaries. What am I even saying self, call me when an Ibo man was deem fit to be the presidential aspirant of the two leading parties in any election. That’s how politically useless you guys are. Senate presidency my foot. The one Obasanjo a Yoruba was playing ping pong with by removing and enthroning you guys at his pleasure. 3 Likes 1 Share |

LegendHero: I love this. Oh! I forgot the governor general stuff when i was delivering my historical slap on your face. Call me back when you go back in history and become a real president and not going about begging your master(Ndiigbo via Azikiwe) to form a government with you. Need I remind you that you were rubbished and thrown to the dustbin because you guys were inconsequential! Ahmadu Bello was a better politician and he got the juice. I almost peed my pants laughing while reading your second paragraph. You made two contradictory statements in the same vein. You acknowledged Azikiwe presidency yet you are asking me to show an Igbo man that has ever won a national presidential election. At least Abiola did better than the perennial failure Awolowo, whose political failure at the national level is of epic proportion. Yet Abiola never became president, because Yorubas failed their politics 101. Yorubas in opposition were all empty threat and noise no substance. The moment Kudirat took the bullet, all the loud mouthed noise makers started running into exile. I hope you know that Nadeco who were the main political force for the return of democracy has about 49 signatories from almost all parts of Nigeria , 14 were Igbos. Close your eyes and imagine if Igbo political activists decided to play the devil's advocate like the southwest is want to. Your guess is as good as mine. Yorubas intoroduced noise without action in Nigeria politics and they call it opposition, unfortunately. You want to ridicule Shonekan abi? I heard Abacha made him do like twelve frog jumps before flogging him out of Aso rock. By the way, there is nothing like interim president in any political lexicon. You are either a president or acting president. If you not any of this then you could as well be the Barrow pusher doing his bits at Ochanja market. Ekwueme and Awolowo can never be on the same pedestal. Ekwueme succeeded in one thing the perennial failure Awolowo couldn't achieve all his life, Vice presidency. Ekwueme played at the national level not as a minister but as VICE PRESIDENT. And this is not Zik of Africa , just another political juggernaut from the east side giving the Yorubas lesson in politics. Guy go and rest. You guys can never ever match Igbos politically in anyway. 1 Like |

gwafaeziokwu: Lol in all this historical thesis of yours there are some things that remain the same. —There is no Igbo man that have been the lead presidential aspirant of any two major political parties. Fact! —There has been no Igbo man elected through the ballot. Here it means running campaign across all the states and the citizens thumbprinting for him/her to emerge winner. Below are the facts proven: —Two Yoruba man have been elected president through the ballot (MKO and OBJ) with one of them going to complete a 8 year tenure. —Three Yoruba men have been the aspirant of the TWO leading political parties (OBJ, FALAE, and AWO). To tell you Azikwe knew he was just a figure head second to Balewa, that was why he tried so bad on multiple occasions to become the president in 1979 and 1983 where he came the distant third on the result if my memory serves me right. If you study Nigeria political terrain well, you will see that the Yorubas always play with the Northerners on the position of strength because we understood power need to be taken and it’s not a gift. Igbos on the other hands are contented with playing second fiddle because they know they have no bargaining right and somehow always feel left out in the political equation of this country. That Azikwe does not even hold any power in that dispensation and all he could do is just sign papers, is that not why he rebeled against Balewa later on? Awo even in death is more notorious, political worthy, and commanded more respect than Ekwueme who was disgraced by OBJ that just got out of prison to clinch the presidential ticket. I heard Ekwueme wasted a lot of money in the Jos convention printing banners and sharing money to delegate while getting the best hotels in town before they made him understood he is Igbo and by decree you guys Come 2023, you will put the picture of either Tinubu or Osinbajo across your establishments in the SE as your president. You can’t fight it because it is destined to happen! If I am a political business man, I will be stupid to bet my money on the Igbos winning the presidential race in 2023. No matter how you try to dice and slice the situation, I still see no clear path to power for the Igbos. Not with all those mediocres you call politician. The butcher of Awkuzu called Peter Obi can’t even display his campaign poster in the North which showed you how politically useless he is. 1 Like |

LegendHero: My guy is grapping at straws. Oya let's start afresh. When the perennial failure Awolowo was dragging local politics in the Southwest with his village kinsmen, Nnamdi Azikiwe left the eastern region in the hands of the ever capable Micheal Okpara to become the Governor general of the entire nation. Igbos took over from the colonialists and governed your sorry behind for 3 good years before Nigeria became a republic in 1963. Igbos has gone national while Yorubas were contended with playing local. Yet when Nigeria became a republic and it was time for national parliamentary election, guess who took the cake again? Azikiwe won 28% of the parliamentary seats while Awolowo won only 8%. Yet somehow he want to form a government with Azikiwe and held the grudge all his life. Zik had to form a government with serious politicians that got almost 33% of the entire parliamentary. You keep on insisting on TWO major political parties in order to drive home your mischievous point. Unfortunately, you are not talking to a kid. In 1983 general election, three major political parties were on the ballot, NPN Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme,UPN Obafemi Awolowo and Mallan Kura, (NPP) Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ishaya Audu. 3 northerners, 2 Igbos and 1 Yoruba. In 2003 , THREE major political parties slug it out at the presidential election, PDP , Olusegun Obasanjo and Atiku Abubakar, ANPP Muhammadu Buhari and Chuba Okadigbo, APGA, Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu and Bayero. These are facts and your barefaced attempt on history revisionism would never change it! Shagari won election with Igbo support, Obasanjo won or rigged with a large southeast support base. The reason he ignored his south West. Yorubas has always been loosers in the Nigerian politics, but the moment you got the opportunity in 2015 you won't allow us rest. Not that you installed a yoruba president all by yourself, just a vice president that igbos has done as far back as 1983 without making noise about it. I can see you bringing in Peter Obi into the discussion, it shows how scared you are of him. It gives us no small joy. 1 Like |

gwafaeziokwu: Lol you mean the crook Azikwe that Awo sent packing from the Western Region back to his poor Eastern region with just some political tactics? I’m sure ZIK will regret even in death that he never had the chance to be Western Region premier. Nothing is spectacular in forming an alliance with Balewa. It’s politics, ZIK thought his interest will be more protected in Balewa government and he reached out for that, there is nothing politically Sophisticated about that. Even with all the political alliance, ZIK later knew he was just an errand boy to Balewa which explained why he tried so bad to lead the country in 1979 and 1983. Remember I was the one that first told you Zik is powerless in Balewa alliance and wielded no true power. As per the elections, I stated clearly that the two leading parties, don’t come and tell me inconsequential aspirants here. Everyone know ZIK is just a joker in that 1983 election and he couldn’t even muster more than 14% of the total votes lol and please don’t even mention Ojukwu and Okadigbo here, I’m not sure they never got above 10% of the votes collectively. I said two leading parties on purpose and I am not about to be counting numerous jokers that are always on mushroom parties ballot. There is nothing to fear about Peter Obi, someone that can’t even win the PDP primaries let alone the Nigerian presidency. I just brought out his name to tell you about jokers you are parading as politicians in the SE who are not even serious. I know our argument will eventually lead to nowhere coz we will always go back and forth. But at least always know that you can only make mouth against the Yorubas when an Igbo man can campaign across the 36 states of the federation and wins a presidential election. The above is even too much, quote me when an Igbo man becomes the presidential aspirant under APC or PDP, the two leading parties. 1 Like |

emekaayomide: You and forbearers simply cannot eat your cake and have it. The political elites from northern and western regions of Nigeria had brainwashed most of the goons to believe, behave and preach they not Igbo. If the situation calls that few of them who had publicized their Igbo blood should emerge as presidential candidate of Nigeria, Ndigbo should support him\her. However Nigerians should not push Ndigbo to look for alternatives. |
