What I don’t understand about the Igbos, are they waiting for Nigerians or party leaders to handover presidency to them, or they’re expected to fight their way out like every other candidates who is eyeing the position.

If this is actually the truth, it’s very clear that an Igbo man can not rule this country called Nigeria because nobody will just wake up and handover power to you because you’re from the east and needs a share of the cake.

To be president of Nigeria you have to canvas for support, move round, do consultations, spend the money and lastly wait on God who has the final say.

Anything less than this won’t work.

IGBO CAN'T BE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA

The only danger is that SE will keep licking plenty asses till our lord comes.

Presidency will go round and we will not give them.

Go and put your house in order.

Same Biafra that you will never have.

You want Biafra yet you people are crying that nobody is going to vote for you in the general elections.
You want Biafra yet you people are threatening other Nigerians to vote for you.
You want Biafra yet your politicians are openly declaring for presidency.

You people are the most confused people in the world.

And same war BH will continue depopulating you, your politicians looting you to stupor, your president sponsoring terrorists back to back, and your stupid democracy will continue to suffer.

Read my lips, Nigeria will NEVER be great!! Never!!! Even in the next 200 years.

You think they don't know this.They just like blaming others for their woes.

The want to blame balewa, ojukwu, Tinubu, prof, fayemi, orji kalu, Rochas, buhari, Aisha, ebonyi, APC.

They also want to blame the devil, Satan, awolowo, zik, ahmadu bello, abia, imo, anambra, Supreme court, Abba kyari, Enugu, NPF, SARS, niger delta, asari, tompolo, amaechi, ACN, atiku, Mazi Nnamdi ,apga, PDP, rising sun, DSS and inec.

They don't know what they want.

They are just 4.89% in the circle.

Very arrogant tribe. While others are busy canvassing for votes, they are waiting for presidency to be hand over to them as if it's okrika wears. They know it's gonna be hard for an ibo man to convince other Nigerians to vote for him hence why resorting to blackmail which won't earn them anything.

Their super senator is already romancing with a fulani man, atiku. Same people who called others fulani slaves for supporting buhari oo.

Ibos? They aren't ready yet..

At least, write our name correctly.

We are IGBOS biko

MrRemedyAlagbo:
In all honesty Igbo deserves the next presidency...they should be given chance to rule too..haba

Yes Under Pdp.. they have slave too much for Pdp not to be a flag bearer

Tell your igbo people to campaign canvass support round the country than threatening everyone....

Una get PhD for foolishness in this country of yours. So...Igbos are now responsible for your failures? Lol...

You guys are just too gullible aswear lol... no wonder your politicians take you for fools. BTW... keep enjoying your democracy. Hope it take you to the promise land.

Oga ex Ohaneze, your people have already ostracized themselves from corporate Nigeria, hence whatever danger you might have foreseen are Igbo/Ibo/Igbos creation.

post=110788203:
SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary mentions from nonentities.
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 

I love ur analysis, it shown you have grown up to be clouded by ethnicity or region, ur analysis of Igbo politics r right...

You live in a face me n face u...

U were hostile to ur neighbours and u r expecting birthday gift from them, when they tried to force alliance in the house u ostracize ursf now u want Dem.

Yoruba r Afonja
Hausa r Zombie now u r here...

Ordinarily Igbo is worthy to become President, but where is the political strength, Yoruba r bad Hausa is also bad who will now dance to ur drum...

Is it same Apc u called satanic n castigated Yoruba for imposing Buhari, now u frantically looking for ticket under aegis of Apc...


Y can't you go n lobby PdP whom does not see a good candidate in Igbo to features as President since 99.. think about it..

The poster has nailed it all

od501:


Did you consult Igbo senators before sending those jihadist military to the east? Did you consult the Igbo senators before installing Northern Muslims In all three arms of government, did you consult the Igbo senators before your military adopted hundreds of innocent Igbos from the east to Abuja, only for them to be bailed with between 500k-1million? I can go on and on.

So... why is it that all of a sudden, you need Igbo senators to organise a referendum or include it in the constitution? BTW... you guys say you own Nigeria, do still need Igbo senators to conduct referendum on your property?

It is simple, you guys are too afraid to let this people go. And the reason is simple: you continue feeding on their hardwork!! Only thieves do that. Break Nigeria today and the North will suffer for eternity.

Mr. Od, you really need your head examined. Every nationality in this corporate Nigeria believes in the existence of corporate Nigeria except the Igbo/Ibo/IPOB and yet this people that wants the worst for the country wants the office of the President to be handed over to them. Have you ever witness such inferiority complex before unless among this set of people.

Truthfully, the rest of us wants the Igbos/Ibos/Igbos to leave, we will roll out the red carpet for them, and let the members of the southeast in the National Assembly started the process by calling for a referendum.

Mr. Timmi, is either you ignorant of the happenings in the country or you just choose to lie to yourself. No reasonable Igbo man will want to via for the office of the president, except you are talking about the old political goons in Ohaneze organisation (which doesn't even represent up to 20%) of Igbo population.

Haven't said that, I thank you for your sincerity towards the will to support the idea of a referendum. Just like Ipob are seriously pushing for it, please do the same. Clamour for a referendum the same way Ipob is doing it. That way, it will compel the three arms of government to expedite the process.

Again I say, you don't need the South East in the national assembly to initiate a referendum. The North has been doing things in this country without the consent of the national assembly.

Should I start from numerous court judgements, how the former CJN was bundled out of office into the DSS car like a common criminal, Buhari's over 90 days out of office without anybody knowing his way about, I can go on and on.

If the North is not to afraid of a referendum, they would have initiated the process long time ago. Just because senetor Abaribe is supporting NK, they have been attacking him in out and center.

Just because Ipob is gaining grounds, the federal government started sponsoring UGM up and down to blackmail Ipob. Why will they initiate such methods if they are not scared? Now you people have wrapped it around the inability of South East House members to raise the issue.

If by the tomorrow it happens, you will still find another flenzy excuse to boycott it. Admit it, you northerners are too afraid to break up, and the reason is obvious, you have been ripping where you don't sow. Period.

It does not change that fact that those who have held that position didn't benefit their regions much. So what are you boasting about? Even your own tribe brought Buhari to power... we will be here sha... whether Igbos get it or not, it does change the fact that Nigeria will continue to retrogress.

milliondollas:
IGBO CAN'T BE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA

no problem...

2019 some of us were begging Igbos to support APC as that's the shortest route to Aso Rock but Igbos lack of political arithmetics understanding made them to settle with PDP that has no plans for them. Politics is not emotional game but principles. The circle of Igbo president is in the next 24 years if they start now. Presidential seat of Nigeria is not based on turn by turn, is by political arithmetics according to Chuba Okadigbo. You have to be friends with other tribe and regions. The ipob card is never going to work, PDP turn Buhari against the Igbos yet it never worked. They are using the ESN card it will fail too. LOBBY is political arithmetics

Fairmedia:

You are an educated fool, is this democracy, dashing someone presidency

You idiots say you want democracy and you say they should boycott elections and give Igbo man presidency. Our democracy must move forward not backwards, zoning is not in our constitution. These dumb talks will even make people not trust or vote for you guys. You people need orientation seriously. You people and fulanis are the worst tribalistic people in Nigeria,. making noise and causing problems everywhere... mpuru mmiri dummies.

I know what to say to you on a normal day,cos I'm a born and bred Oyo town man,old Oyo empire precisely and to be specific Oyo alaafin...and you know what they say about Oyo,OYOMESI but I don't want to add to your frustrations by saying bad words to you...you supposed know the tribe I belongs to by now,I'm not tribalistic and will never be,I was only stating the obvious marginalization of the most industrious part of the country, giving them a chance to rule too might change things economically...wish you well brother

Don’t muddle the discussion with irrelevant references to Buhari or the North, South South or Southwest. Stay focused on your Igbo/Ibo/Igbos referendum to move away from Nigeria. The people that are interested in moving out should be spearheading the referendum, that is if they are actually ready and willing instead of playing to the gallery with empty boast and propaganda.

I also think you need to take count of the number and caliber of the candidates that have so far declared their interest in running for the President that are from southeast before claiming they are old Ohaneze people.
