Ebubu:
You claim others marginalize you.
Umahi State has 51 delegates but he didn't win all 51 as he had about 30-40 something votes and his fellow Ebonyian, Ogbonnaya Onu has 1 vote
Imo state has about 80 delegates. Abia 51, Enugu 51. Anambra a little around 60-70.
This is over 200 votes yet the SE candidates altogether didn't have up to 50 votes.
Okorocha had no votes.
So where did the SE delegates' votes go to ?
But you cry you have never ruled this country ?
But can not galvanize yourselves to ensure all your delegates vote your region.

In SW, Bankole, Amosun, all resigned to support their fellow SW.
But no Igbo candidate resigned to support another through strategic agreement.

In PDP
Anyim had only his states delegates. Abia delegates voted Wike, Enugu state delegates voted Wike. Anambra and Imo delegates voted Atiku.

But you all cried powers must return South and it should even be South East
You would like to say SE candidates are not a threat so why waste votes on them instead of giving it to a more likely winner and sign pact.
No, you build on that loss, along the line other regions will aknowledge that strong man whom you all support and vote for him.

That was how Buhari was winning his northern states and losing elsewhere till help came.

I'm from Ebonyi state, but if i see anymore Igbo man claim marginalization on this platform, whereas the Igbo delegates do not support their regional candidates, I will remind the person of PDP and APC primary elections.

Oshodipikin:
South East ought to be considered for President from both
evil parties that we have in Nigeria but NO. They haven't played their card well.

PDP Primary says it all. Only 14 delegate voted Pius Anyim, una own son from entire SE. What happens to the remaining
delegate votes? Atiku/Fulani man don buy am. If Tinubu shows the tip of his dollars, una go still fall for am.

The ones in APCheat saw their SW brothers stepping down for eachothers yesterday, about 8 aspirants from SE
contested and lost. Kai! Dem swear for una, can't you harmonize like Tambuwa did for his Arewa brother.
You can cry for injustice till eternity, nothing changes until you build bridges across the nation, foster sound unbreakable
relationship with your neighbours (SS & SW) and have a formidable home fronts. Cry me a riveeerrrr...
Politics of hatred for one party (forgetting that all party politics are the same) , abuse of whoever is not on same
page with you, "if I no get am, make e scatter" won't fix your problem. Cry me a riveeerrrr....

Party politics no be container of shoes on high seas, no one tribe can contest the aspect trade with you guys but a mugu
from any part of Nigeria can sink your container with a stroke of pen when it arrives Apapa.
Common sense isn't common. Only Rochas plays politics devoid of hatred, yet una no like am. Tueh

APCnaPDP:
Biafra will not come, you can cry from now to the end of the world, you won’t get Biafra. This article is highly unnecessary, build bridges and not this. Get your people involved in politics, let them get PVCs, increase or inflate your voting strength and people will take you seriously. Tinubu won because he worked for it, no one gets anything on a platter.

You have your people scattered all over Nigeria, go and work on your region, become a force and see how your outlook changes. If you like threaten Nigeria with Biafra , you won’t get it.

IduNaOba:

How many SW delegates voted SW aspirants in PDP?
No dey make noise.

Sentiment aside....The SE is marginalized.Anyone saying otherwise is being economical with the truth.It is their turn.
That said, to save Nigeria, we must wrest Nigeria from those dividing us.Whoever would reward productivity and foster unity is welcome.

Those politicians are there for personal gains.Whether from Ebonyi or Abia...Every Igbo politician in APC is a tool to trouble the opposition PDP and grab whatever they can from the center.
Even Peter Obi isn't the choice of the PDP in the SE because he is different from the average politician.

SeunTheOwner:


Saying SE was marginalized is politically wrong. The NE and NC falls in the same category.

The future is still bright and alterable for Igbo Presidency if they can work on it without emotion.

Atiku has promised 1 term, the SE can split their support for APC probably to convince Tinubu to a 1 term too.

2elliot:
Nothing is permanent. Empires have come and gone. Transatlantic slavery took over two centuries before it came to a stop. Soviet union despite their might came crumbling. US of A will one day fall. Nigeria despite all your noise is just 62years. It is not too late for this zoo to crumble. Just because the igbos are down today does not mean that they won't rise. Nothing is permanent.

Oshodipikin:
I have a heavy heart this morning after hearing that my candidate, Prof Kingsley Moghalu was defeated in the ADC Primary.


I am an unapologetic Yoruba boy, who's got a strong belief in equity, justice and fairness in all our transactions on this terrestrial ball. But I am left with no choice than to vote someone else in the forthcoming election. Here are my reasons.

1. Three people can't be in a room and the two of you have taken turn to lead and "chop" and the two of you now said I am not old enough to lead. There would be trouble!

2. For the fact that, just like anywhere in Nigeria, we have best brains from South East as well. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Kingsley Moghalu, Oby Ezekwesili come to mind

BUT Ndigbo don't know how politics works. Political negotiation is not Naira & Kobo. Igbos have been shooting themselves in the leg since before the civil war.... Let me remind my listeners of what I observed in the just concluded primaries of the twin evil parties who are on control of Naija politics.

Please NOTE that:


PDP delegates from the 5 states of South East states are
about 200 or more delegates. Only 14 voted for Pius Anyim, the rest sold their votes to Fulani man From Adamawa.
AfghanEastern can NEVER be Nigeria President till this
useless money monger generation of nyanmiri passed and a
new generation who understands politics and love their land
emerged.


Tambuwa & Mohammed Hayatu-Deen stepped down for their
brother Alhaji Atiku Abubakar during PDP primary. The likes of Kayode Fayemi, Dimeji Bankole, Ibikunle Amosun, Ajayi
Borroface were able to Canvas Akpabio, Uju Ohaneye and
Badaru to let their brother have the ticket. I remember Badaru even said Tinubu once gave him his AC platform to contest when he was nobody, although he lost that contest then. Who is speaking for Ndigbo?


Pius Anyim, Peter Obi, Chief Sam Ohunabunwa, Charles
Okwudili, Chikwendu Kalu, Cosmas Ndukwe,
and a US-based medical doctor, Nwachukwu Anakwenze
couldn't find one suitable person to represent South East until Peter Obi pulled out to find succour else in LP. There is crisis brewing in that party also now because Peter Obi and another Igbo man have emerged from parallel primaries of the two factions of LP. I don't think South South or South West are the problem of Ndigbo. Ndigbo themselves are the problem of Ndigbo.


Another South South person will rule Nigeria before the Igbos
realise that your closest allies ever are your neighbours. You
can't be true friends to outsider if your home front is always
on fire because of internal acrimonies birthed by self-
centeredness. Until you marry the Ijaws, Urhobos, Yoruba,
Edos, your dream of Aso Rock will remain a pipe dream or
something like a man who dreamt and see himself riding
ferrari, only to wake and find himself on top of palm tree.
AD, AC, ACN was a regional party like APGA, but because
someone is thinking 24/7, it has been transformed and
married with other parties outside of southern Nigeria to
clinch the Presidency. Hate them or like them, Atikunubu woul be your president for the next 8 years. When is the turn of the South-East?

I am sure Ojukwu is scratching his head right now.


I suppose the Igbo red cap is a thinking cap!
