But Yoruba Muslims zombies said tinubu can do Muslim Muslim ticket because only northern muslims and west matter.


But the politician admitted that at the time Buhari was under enormous pressure, especially from some northern governors who insisted that a Muslim-Muslim ticket arrangement was a no-go area.



He revealed that it would be the second time that Tinubu would be getting very close to becoming a vice presidential candidate

undecided so you mean tinubu has already failed two times already as a Yoruba Muslim because of his disadvantage position as a Muslim Yoruba?

THIS BISI AKANDE STATEMENT SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI DOES NOT LIKE ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU AND FOR THIS HE WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO SUCEED HIM FOR THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT COME 2023.

Although most yoruba are DAY DREAMING THAT BUHARI WILL GIVE TINUBU THE PRESIDENCY.

YORUBA WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

For sure !

President Buhari does not like people who identify with NADECO !

He narrated that what prompted the push for a Tinubu as vice president for the first time under Atiku was that anytime they said they needed money, Atiku would say “Bola please help us”.

“Bola (Tinubu) was the only one spending the money among us. The rest of us were poor. Tinubu also put all his energy and resources into the formation of the AC and we felt he deserved a spot on the ticket,” he wrote.

Southern slaves are those few SW political jobbers who conspired with Northern elements to undermine the people of SW. Some of the names are listed hereunder
1. Chief Akintola
2. Chief Fani Kayode and now his son Femi
3. Chief Akinjide
4. Adisa Akinloye
5. M.K.O Abiola (was later killed by his same Northern friends)
6. Bola Tinubu (where are the cows)
7. Bisi Akande

These people are known to have worked against their own people because of their selfish and personal ambitions.

Well osibanjo is the incoming president, baby factory criminals and drug traffickers developers can go and die

The Igbo, sometimes referred to as Ibo, are one of the largest single ethnic groups in Africa. Most Igbo speakers are based in southeast Nigeria, where they make up almost 17% of the population; they can also be found in significant numbers in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Their language is also called Igbo. The primary Igbo states in Nigeria are Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, and Enugu States. The Igbos also are more than 25% of the population in some Nigerian States like Delta State and Rivers State. Traces of the Igbo Culture and language could be found in Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa States. Igbo language is predominant in such cities like Onitsha, Aba, Owerri, Enugu, Nnewi, Nsukka, Awka, Umuahia, and Asaba, among others.

Which tribe is the most intelligent in Africa?
Igbo people are some of the smartest and brightest tribes in Africa and they continue to maintain their spot as some of the most intelligent people in the world as several successful igbo people show this.

Igbo Tribe
When you talk of money making and business, then give it to the Igbos, it is in their DNA. This tribe are one of the most obsessed with money and it is paying off. This tribe is one of the most successful in Nigeria and also one of the most popular in the country.

President Buhari statement about Ndigbo;
the President said, “The fundamental thing about the Igbo people is that there is no town you will visit in Nigeria without seeing the Igbos being in charge of either infrastructure or pharmaceutical industry.

“Therefore, it is unthinkable for me that any Igbo man would consider himself not to be a part of Nigeria.

“The evidence is there for everyone to see that Igbos are in charge of Nigeria’s economy.”

Reno Omokri ;
I personally do not believe that the Nigerian and Lagos state governments fully understand what Igbos bring to the table.

Igbos are like palm trees in the desert. If you see palm trees, you know water is there. If you see an Igbo in a town, you know progress is there. Not as if they go where progress is. They themselves are seed of progress that yield harvests of progress.

To have a proper understanding of what the Igbo have achieved, consider that every Igbo man, woman and child in Nigeria was reduced to £20 after the civil war in 1970. But look at how far they have come since then. They turned adversity to prosperity.

No ethnic group are as Nigerian as the Igbo. An Igbo builds his family, his house and his businesses in whatever part of Nigeria he finds himself. They do not exploit other regions. They expand other regions. It is a disservice to treat them as unwanted.

Instead of making Igbos feel unwelcome, leaders should welcome them. Anyone who thinks the Igbo really want to break away does not understand economics. In 2003, Elrufai revealed Igbos own 73% of land in Abuja. Google it. That is commitment to Nigeria.

This idea that Igbo come to exploit other regions is unscientific. Igbos create value. They do not take value already created. Example, by opening shops, Igbos create value by meeting a need. Without Igbo, the price of spare-parts in the North will be x4.

It might shock you to know there are more Igbo doctors practicing in other parts of Nigeria than in the SE. Thousands of Igbos are battling Boko Haram in the NE. These are critical values. People who bring such value should be celebrated, not denigrated.

In my opinion, Nigeria made a mistake dismantling Biafra’s military industrial complex after Biafra’s 1970 defeat. The allies defeated Germany in 1945 but absorbed their scientists into their military industrial complex.

Biafra developed technology that Nigeria could have exploited. We have issues fighting Boko Haram because we depend on others for weapons. Biafra was surrounded, yet they made their weapons and refined fuel. Nigeria is not surrounded, yet we cannot make weapons or refine fuel! We could have been making our own weapons by now.

‪I do not know if Igbos understand their power. If every Igbo man, woman and child living in Nigeria returns home for a year, the economies of five geopolitical zones may collapse. You cannot say this about any other ethnicity.

Treat Igbos well. Not for their sake. But for your region’s sake. A liability consumes more than what he produces. The Igbos are not like that. Wherever they go, they produce more than they consume. In accounting terms, that makes them an ASSET wherever they are.
Igbos only think they are being marginalised. If only they knew! God is using the marginalisation of Igbos for His purpose. I met an Igbo mayor of a major American city. Many Igbo are mayors/MPs in Europe. An Igbo is being considered as a future British PM.

Like Jews, the more you marginalise Igbos locally, the more they leave to thrive globally. It is the destiny of the Igbo race to restore the fortunes of the Black Race worldwide. Their crucifixion is meant to prepare them for their benediction.

Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (rtd), yesterday stated that Nigeria would not be complete without Ndigbo, adding that the absence of Igbo’s intelligentsia and hard work would have made the nation poorer.

Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has warned Nigerians against leading Igbos to another war.

Obasanjo while speaking at his lectures recently, reminded the Yorubas concerning the war of 1967, the civil war. He said the Igbo tribe was defeated because they had nothing then.

According to him, there were few borders then and once the Nigerians captured those states with the borders, the Igbos were sealed in with no hope of getting help from the outside world.


He added that the countries which could assist them also did not quite understand what they were fighting for.

However, in his recent warning, Obasanjo said the Igbos are all over the world and very rich. They can now buy weapons and many other things necessary for the war to be won, he added.

U can see that Akande and co will prefer selfish interests than to ensure fair representation of religious or tribal groups.

All I read was pettiness, selfishness and greed. Buhari was even more civil and intelligent. Surprisingly.

They reward him with highly inflated contracts. Even in the north, tinubu has big contracts going on. He uses Lagos money to get more money to get more power.

Where did you read that?

Buhari reneged on making tinubu his running mate.

He called Akande to give him three names to choose from.

When Akande told tinubu of the latest development, a visibly angry Tinubu decided he doesn't want to part of that and went back to Lagos.

that "sacrifice" has made Nigerians 10 times poorer. But ethno-religious sentiments won't let you have sense. Buhari, Tinubu, Osinbajo are all culpable in the deplorable state Nigeria is currently in.

I read everything because I'm a student of politics.
My take away:
The man said "this position is for South West and in Yoruba, religion is none issue".
This implies that Yoruba leaders see VP of Nigeria as an ethnic property and not Nigeria. They believe the VP must serve the interest of South West and not that of Nigeria.
No wonder the in VP staff, you hardly find someone from another tribe.
It was evident from word go that Buhari is not a man of his own. He was always dragged into action and would always go with his tribe. This has not changed.
Adams Oshiomole has always been with Tinubu and he was rewarded with national chairman.
Same Tinubu was rewarded with Yomi Osibanjo, Speaker, Senate President, ministers of works, housing and power. FIR, Budget office, and juicy contracts.
So nobody should come and say "Buhari owes Tinubu". That's why other party members are spoilt for war because they have seen the Tinubu is greedy.
Finally, this book launch is ill timed. It will unsettle some power brokers. People like
OBJ, Buhari, Northern elders and some Yoruba elders.
Maybe it was done in a bid to force Buhari into supporting Tinubu, but a close look will tell you that Bisi Akande bare it all and isn't happy with the president.
I salute his courage.

A northerner in VPs office has debunked this notion that most of the staff there are Yorubas.
