With the race for Nigeria’s top seat heating up and the interested regions find themselves putting up arguments supporting claims that put them in advantage over the other geological/political zones. Each of the six geo-political zones are angling to produce the next President of Nigeria under a twisted zoning arrangement. Nonetheless, some believed the Southern zone of Nigeria is due to provide the next president while a good majority believe the North East zone is due to present the next president.

Against the above political odds, groups from the respective political zones have begun mounting pressure and some have gone beyond mounting mere pressure – to mounting agitation and threatening secession should the Presidency not be given to their geopolitical zone. The immediate past national chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo – Nnia Nwodo – had made the stand of Ohanaeze clear when he publicly stated that the Ohanaeze will shift its stance on national issues if the political leadership in Nigeria deny the South East the opportunity for a south easterner to become the President of Nigeria in 2023. He threatened that Ohanaeze will switch and turn its support to Biafra agitation – and not for Nigeria unity.

Nnia Nwodo’s take almost matches a recent opinion by Fani Kayode – where he masterfully analyzed the reasons where the political block in Nigeria will never allow the Igbo to mount the President seat as President.

Kayode explained that Nigeria as presently constituted are afraid to allow a south easterner to become President because of a lack of trust. “The Hausa/Fulani does not trust the Igbo man”. They want to stay in power in perpetuity.

perez100:
Am Igbo and I think Fani Kayode is 100% right. I like people that speaks the way it is. The reason why many tribes are saying Igbo cannot rule Nigeria is "fear". They are 100% afraid of the strong and wise men in the East.

They prefer those people they think they can control so that they can do to them what they did to Jonathan.

If Nigerians want Nigeria to be great once again - Igbo man becoming President is the answer. Or everybody will continue to cry while Nigerians will keep bleeding. It is your choice.

habsydiamond:
Why are we then one nation if u are sidelining one tribe... In short we are not one... Naija don scatter into pieces since independence.. Na God still make her stand till now.

aribisala0:
sidelining how? Are Eboes the only people in Nigeria ? are they more important than Kanuri, Urhobo or Tiv? In their minds maybe but not to everyone

Where does sidelining come into it that is what I want to learn. HOW ARE THEY BEING SIDELINED?

aljharem:
this people are funny u know. Just i thought this people want to eat there cake and have it again

they all voted for ACN thus they want regional government ie fedralism

yet they still want the advantages of being in the mainstream politics

abeg make them go sit down

when it is time they should go meet tinubu there master

Afam4eva:
Al_harem has spoken the truth. You cannot eat your cake and still want to have. PDP controls the center.So, states that will benefit from the center are PDP states. They should go and meet oga Tinubu if they feel marginalized

They are 100% afraid of the strong and wise men in the East. I have been hearing from them that Igbo cannot rule Nigeria when I was in Primary School. I tried to ask them why, but no reasonable answer. Let me tell them, I will do times 1000 of what Nnamdi Kanu did if they think Igbo cannot rule Nigeria. Such plot will be disastrous to Nigeria as a country in the future. Destroy such plot in your minds and Nigeria will be better for everybody. We are just postponing the evil days that must surely come unless we kill such plot.

habsydiamond:
no tribe is more important than the other.... Ibos are one of the three major tribes in this country.. I still don't see the reason why some people don't see them fit to lead this country as president. U can enlighten me on this oo

aribisala0:
So Nnamdi Kanu's agitation is about Eeboe presidency?

fregeneh:


So you mean you don't know before?

ArewaNorth:


President of Igbo extraction is always rejected not just because of who to control as u allege or who can't be controlled. Presidency in Nigeria is all about trust, fairness and justice.
OBJ, GEJ and PMB were/are never controlled by any group of people. Do u really know how powerful is that seat? Nobody can even think of dictatung someone on that seat, it is too mighty for that game.When GEJ was President he made this appointments:

GEJ'S SERVICE CHIEFS WERE:
1. Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh; 2. Chief of Army Staff, Major General Kenneth Minimah;
3. Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin; and
4. Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Adesola Amosu and u still think that others controlled him? Think again.
The event of 1966 was the main reasons why Igbo will hardly be trusted with power anytime sooner because when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
To make it worse, Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it and let the coupist left unpunished. Honestly, those officers set a bad precedent to the entire Igbo despite having handful of good people who are capable of making this country better if given chance to rule.

aribisala0:


What makes them major? and who said there are only 3 major tribes ?

Every person has one vote .No one has more than one vote.

Every individual is entitled to his own individual prejudice. I can decide I do not want to spend my money in an Edo man's shop. I cannot decide that the Edo man should not open his shop

They are constitutionally entitled to contest and persuade other people to elect them. That is how it works

Can one person sit down in his house and say who can or cannot be president

If they are not able to persuade other Nigerians they should work harder.

nyiamfrank:
You don come again? Cannot be allowed, by who exactly?

habsydiamond:
u have said it all.. They should try to convince everyone that they are capable

Sergio103:
"Trust" Asin how??

You won't trust us with power but will trust us being in yooonity with you.

Please what's the definition of madness other than this??

aribisala0:
The simple question for every Eboe is

When you vote do you vote as an individual or do you vote how someone else tells you.


If they are voting as individuals why assume others are not.

Has Wike said because he is a minority he won't contest?


But all you hear is


it is our turn no one else should contest , they should just give it to Eboes OR ELSE.........
