I keep coming across this inexplicable view, mostly from our South West compatriots.

Each time South East voters vow to vote for the right/best/most qualified candidate for national elections, they are accused (by some South west people) of being emotional, or sentimental.

Is supporting a thief being unemotional or unsentimental?
Is heartlessness now a virtue?

If you are unemotional or unsentimental in your support for thieves or unqualified candidates, isn't that a mark of wickedness?

When armed robbers or kidnappers catch their victims, they are also unemotional or unsentimental.

Go figure!

What Nigeria needs is EMPATHY and SYMPATHY, both of which a person can never exhibit without sentiments or emotions.

The country is being run by wicked people, but there are Nigerians who want the whole country to adopt their heartlessness as culture.

E no go work o!

Ignorance and delusion are what I see in your accusation. You called the person that SW and other regions vote for a thief but your mediocre candidate who graduated as a third class, contested in a political party that can only be described as a third force, and came out third in the election as the best candidate. What can be more delusional than refusing to admit you are not capable of making rational decisions?

Your region went to war and lost millions of innocent people because of the emotional and egocentric tendencies of your leaders. Another one embarked on a fruitless mission of Biafra but ended up in the belly of those he abused and derided with so much venom, now we have a new generation of emotional people who feel the only way to get the presidency is by abusing other candidates from other regions while painting their own as Messiah.

Your people are voting for the best candidates yet your region has turned into a war zone where people flee for fear of being killed by the same IPOB terrorist you termed as your saviour.

Continue your abuse of Nigeria's elected candidate, it's not going to stop Asiwaju Bola Ahmed from ruling you for the next 4 years. All your government offices and every establishment in the SE will hang the portrait of the man you live your life to hate

Dont mind them

One even said, south east do not know how to play politics, they put all their eggs in one basket

The following day he came back here to celebrate his party having 6 senators and 2 governors from the same zone he claimed put all their eggs in one basket

Verdict: you are sharing the forum with kids

If you are not sentimental, most politicians are thieves, even the ones you're supporting. The way you find it difficult to accept that truth, is the same way others won't accept your ideology.

All humans are kinda sentimental in nature to some extent but none would accept that fact.


Your right candidate could be another person's wrong candidate.

First of it's democracy, anybody can support anything. Then again what is right candidate to you is nonsense to another person.. like if we are to go by what Anambra people have been saying about peter Obi until before he won the labour ticket... You can't advertise him to me because I was here when y'all start castigating him so the emotional shht you are trying to talk about is what you are still displaying... Quit it... Obi lost the election, restrategize for the next, don't create enemies that made obi lose the just concluded election.

God bless you for this write up , he doesn’t matter if he don’t want Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as his president, he can do the needful by committing suicide

The problem is "the right candidate!" Who is the right candidate? We only have more acceptable candidates because your so-called best candidate is another person's worst candidate for different reasons! Learn to respect other people's wishes! What faces you has its back to another person...that's life...stop imposing your "right candidate" on us!

I chose the term "right candidate" deliberately, because it can be proven easily that South east supported better candidates.

Is Jonathan not better than Buhari (looking back now)?
And if your answer is that Buhari is better, then how can you accuse Jonathan supporters of being sentimental?
On what basis did you support Buhari over Jonathan?
Is Nigeria not a mess today compared with when Jonathan was president? Heck Nigeria today cannot even conduct a free and fair election!

As for Tinubu... every unsentimental thinking person cannot even dream of supporting him! The man even lost in a state he governed for 8 years!
But his supporters are calling others sentimental?
I keep saying that the reason Nigeria cannot produce and supply 24/7 electricity is because people in Nigeria embrace darkness as a spiritual principle even without knowing.
How can you support darkness, and expect light?

but all politicains are thieves na, e.g Peter Obi diverted anambra's commonwealth into family business...he also got interests fron monies deposited in banks where he has a veryt high state...Isnt that thiefery and corruption?

I don't want to get into argument of whether Peter Obi did what you said.
There is a simple way to verify such allegations.
If you know Igbo people very well, you would know that they have zero tolerance for bad presidents.
Go through their voting records in Nigeria's history.
They consistently voted against BAD leaders even when they ran with Igbo Vice presidents.
Consider this:
Gov Soludo of Anambra state did not support Peter Obi (I'd say out of jealously because he Soludo thinks he should be the one to run for that office whenever), but Obi still won the state overwhelmingly.
Why is that?
Did you see the type of ovation Obi received when he showed up during Soludo's one year anniversary?
Why is that?
If you know Igbo people, you would know that anybody they accept as leader is the best among the rest.
Go and verify.

Is Peter Obi a saint? No. But in the context of Nigerian politicians, if anyone qualifies to be called one, Peter Obi is it!

Consider this: Tinubu could not win Lagos state, a state he governed for 8 years, and despite MASSIVE RIGGING.

Obi, the 'right' candidate that couldn't fix Anambra in 8 years.

So it is East/IGBO choice thats is alway Right/Best/most qualified candidate.

How about 1999 till 2015 the choices IGBOS made how did it transform Nigeria,

I still can't understand how an entire tribe will sleep and face one direction, SE is the only region no other candidate had 25%
"A wiseman once said "if Everyone is thinking the same way, truth is nobody is thinking

When people talk about sentiments and emotions, they are referring to the sort of rhetoric you're using here. A sentence like "If you know Igbo people very well, you would know that they have zero tolerance for bad presidents" is nothing but raw sentiment, believable only to those already pre-inclined to believe it out of ethnic sentiment (i.e. other Igbos). Why would any reasonable person expect others to accept that his or her own ethnic group has an exclusive lock on objectivity and a desire for merit? It's the height of ethnocentric egocentricity to say such things with a straight face and expect to be taken seriously.

Odogwuzack:


Don't mind the halfwit lol

Tinubu remains the best candidate out of the 3 major contenders in the last election.

But he STOLE the election.
And you know that he stole the election.
If he is the best, why did he need to rig the election?

Odogwuzack:


You always know the right leader for Lagos and Nigeria but you keep electing the bad leaders in your region that has made your region second worst in the whole country (only better than NE)

South east remains the region with the lowest poverty rate in Nigeria.

You can choose to accept the fact or not, it doesn't matter.

There is a reason that in your region, only Lagos state (which is a NIGERIAN COLLECTIVELY OWNED STATE) is better than Anambra, for now. And Tinubu lost there.
Tinubu also LOST in Abuja, another NIGERIAN enclave.
Tinubu lost in RIvers state.
Tinubu lost in ALL the cosmopolitan Nigerian states and cities.
He even nearly lost in Irabiji his home town.
The election rigging is twisting your brains into accepting lies for truth.
But truth can never be dominated.

No, it is not.
Right is right and wrong is wrong.
Your reasoning style is why Nigeria has never been able to produce steady electricity in 63 years.
When people identify and pitch tent with RIGHT leaders, you call them sentimental. You essentially gas-light them, and the weak ones end up joining the bandwagon of evil groupies.
I ask again, is supporting thieves and TERRIBLE leaders, supposed to be celebrated?
Is HEARTLESSNESS now supposed to become the NORM?
Why then do you still cry that Nigeria is a HELLHOLE?

At least since for the last 20 years, Anambra state has been better run than ANY south west state. QUOTE ME.
For a state that was not among oil producing states to constantly rank high in terms of development indices, is something to study.
And Anambra is already being studied by other states.
That legacy was laid by GOOD leaders like Peter G Obi.
Funnily enough, the rest of Nigerians who haven't lost their conscience to tribalism took note of Obi, and voted overwhelmingly for him.
That is why the STOLEN MANDATE MUST BE RECOVERED .

In politics everyone's right must be protected, not matter how unpopular you may think about it.
You kept shouting Tinubu is a drug baron, while you can hardly see a household in the igboland without atleast 3 people that are into drug dealings. Charity begins at home, they said. Until you start calling out the likes of Jim Ovia, Orange drugs, the Cubanas ( both obi & his chief priest), e - money, Jowi Zazza out then some of us will start taking you serious

Some us are here on ground in your south east, we know whats up. There's literally no village or town here in igboland that we haven't been to. There's bad people everywhere, for example i can tell you for a fact most so called millionaires, expecially youths in Yoruba land are also into shady shady businesses like yahoo yahoo and what not..

Then you guys should first replicate this at the state/region level and transform your states/region. You guys are competing with NE in under development. You may even soon overtake NE in terrorism and insecurity.

Even your Peter Obi that you all claimed to be the best that ever came out of SE can't stand shoulder to shoulder to the worst governor in SW. No SW governor will drive poverty rate from 25% to 54% in his state or allow state workers including Medical Doctors to go for more than 1 year strike.... etc let me not even talk about the one that gave 5 hundred Naira to nursing mothers and see it as big achievement. He even won second term lmaooo....

Una no dey ever get good leaders for that side but you always know the best leaders for other region and the entire country. Clowns!

No one selects worst leaders in this country like igbo people, right from 1999 until this moment. All political office holders from southeast are worst, though all political office holders across the country are terrible but the southeast takes the cake.

And who mentioned drugs here?
You see how your support for evil has torn your mouth open to force out the deeds (confessed by you) of the man you are supporting.
Go through my post and show me where I mentioned Tinubu's drug business.
All I've said is that the man is a bad leader and many Lagosians agree, and that is why they voted him down in a state he should have won.
If you like keep supporting satan, proudly without emotion.
Anybody who has no emotion or sentiment has no conscience.
And any person who lacks conscience loses the right to good governance.
Why should you complain if mr Emilokan never builds any hospital of note in his 8 years as governor, and gets treated for headaches in France?

Like I supported the right of igbo people to produce the president of this country this time at the beginning, and i don't care whoever the person is, so far he is an igbo man because for equity, fairness and justice to prevail, Igbo people must produce the president of this country, but the fascist movement under obidient is what I can't live with. Why should I be forced to support someone that is infallible according to his supporters? Someone that does no wrong?

Tell me one state in South west that is better than ANY south east state (minus our collectively owned Lagos, of course).
Is it in education?
Health?
income per capita?
Infrastructure?
Debt?
Show me, or accept that fact that south east governors on average performed better than your south west governors.
How else can one judge performance?
