Igbos are only good at hating. I thought they hate only the abokis, but I have realized they hate Yorubas more. They'll rather toss it away than have a Yoruba get it. That's the mentality of monumental losers

casualobserver:
You no dey read news wey you dey come here spreading old rumour?

From what I can see, the APC will lose this presidential election.

On Peter Obi mandate does the whole Nigerian youths hope rest. He is the only candidate who has a good idea of how to solve most problems in this country, taking his background as a guide. He is the only person among the lot who was self employed and became a billionaire before the return to democracy. We need someone who can replicate his personal successes with the youths, and the whole country at large.

Vote Peter Obi if you want to see the life of the average Nigerian people change for the better.

iCauseTrouble:
Peter Obi is a billionaire
Atiku Abubakar is a billionaire
Bola Tinubu is a billionaire

Only one of these three has a VERIFIABLE source of income that made him a billionaire even before he joined politics.

We need leaders that can boldly say “Go and Verify”.

Gozac:
What if SW didn't get the ticket I hope you still work for the party?

PericomaNwankwo:
Thank you!! All this small minded people on Nairaland don't even understand how elections work. Mark my word, the north will only vote for a northerner. It has always been like that. For a southern man to win, he needs to utilize the south's vote. Obj and GEJ were able to win by fortifying southern votes.

Obj was able to maintain control by fortifying the south and enabling them to rig more than the North. All this talks of Igbos don't have number barely started recently, during objs time, he used huge votes from Igbo land /SS to stay ahead of the north.

Even if Tinubu finally emerges, he can never win without fortifying southern votes. And if he wants a second term, he must unite the south to beat the northern riggings.

Go back to old results and see how it all played out.

Alexis11:
Igbos don't know how to play politics at all. I wonder how all their politicians that have stepped down for Lawan will be feeling now.

Their only strategies since 1960s have always been how to scheme Yorubas out of the arrangement and later come around to call Yorubas their "southern brothers" when their miscalculations backfire against them and favour the SW instead. It has always been hate, hate and more hate.

Igbos are ready for any political subjugation and mistreatment from the North so far it doesn't not represent the SW interest. It is really shameful.

vicdom:
Broh, it's too early to conclude. Tinubu I know would want to go for Muslim-Muslim ticket and it will cost APC victory. As things are now, he stands at the better chance of clinching the ticket. All the odds might be against Tinubu. Atiku will beat Tinubu hads down. Just watch out, unless Osibanjo gets the ticket.

Yadid:
I subscribe to your view. I said the same to some folks yesterday. If it turns out this way though, then Wike will have the last laugh in PDP.

Nawttiboi007:
What we should know is that the northern will support their own regardless... their strength lies in their unity n loyalty unlike the other regions that’s full of greed, selfishness and quest for power. The only strong hold that can contest Atiku from APC as it stands now is if they have hidden agenda like unveiling Jonathan... else the contest will be between Atiku and Peter Obi of Labour Party .

PaChukwudi44:
GEJ only won in 2011 because the three southern regions agreed to work together for the first time in Nigeria's history.

Osibanjo or Tinubu if at all they pick up the APC ticket will have to make do with the SW region alone

mazizitonene:
But this thing is clear as day. For equity and justice, give it to the SE. I wonder why we clamour for justice, but when it's clear on what's just and fair, we start looking for excuses and loopholes.

Ordinarily, if nigeria was working, no one would be interested in who becomes the president, but since y'all have left power solely to the center and enjoyment solely in Abuja, you're now afraid to give it to the SE.

And one old man is there saying it's the turn of the yorubas, someone that claims he has a conscience, also saying that Buhari and APC should repay him with Presidency. You know you can't do this job, the man you sold to us in 2015, whom you're his party leader could not. Yet you're hell bent on going there, to do what exactly. Just to be known as President. So Nigeria is a "chop I chop" reward system. When the youth clamoured for endsarz protest, tinubu, osibanjo and co where implicated and complicit in certain events around that period. Now their supporters are behaving like they have amnesia, suffering and smiling.

Let me just remind us, when you go to buy food stuffs at exorbitant prices, the market seller doesn't ask where you're from. When security men, robbers attack you, they don't consider where you're from. When insecurity or kidnappers meets you or your loved ones, they don't first ask you where you're from. Hunger, insecurity doesn't know tribe.

Let's stop this tribal sentiments, and reason for the general good 2023. In the spirit of fairness and justice, and a working system for all........what goes around comes around

Penguin2:
I think Atiku is really not destined to rule Nigeria.

Because with the entire northern governors and critical northern stakeholders in APC, agreeing to zone the presidency to the south, they are going to campaign with that to their people and influence their votes to a great extent.

Now, if at the end, Osinbajo gets the ticket, like it’s looking like, then that’s the entire Southwest votes and considerable votes from other southern regions too since Osinbajo is an inspiring candidate.

PDP swam against the tide.

And what seemed to be a strategic masterstroke about a week ago, now looks like a grave mistake.

Take it from me that Atiku will not be president especially if Osinbajo gets the ticket.

miqos02:
he couldn't have said that, can't be true

Bro, abeg sheath your sword till Monday when their final burial will be announced. They'd see shege on this forum.

Electrochemistry:
If Osibanjo emerges as APC flag bearer,
Peter Obi as LP flag bearer and
Atiku as PDP flag bearer.

---

Then the tussle assumes a WAZOBIA dimension where Atiku wins majority of the North as the North will like to retain power irrespective of party affiliation.

Peter Obi will win most of the South South and South East and the support of smart and sophisticated Nigerians from other regions.

Osibanjo will get most of his votes from the South West. His endorsement by Buhari will not earn him votes from the North since northerners will be rooting for Atiku.

Osibanjo endorsement by Buhari is a trick to weaken the South thereby retaining power in the North through Atiku.


If the SW, SS, or SE is fooled into being a running mate to Atiku, It's game over. Atiku wins

tollyboy5:
My candidate is pyo . The vote from Southwest will be massive for pyo because southwest has one of the highest collected voters card. Middle Belt state like kwara, kogi and Niger state will like vote inline with southwest.
Buhari endorsement will go a long way in the north most especially his home town Katsina and also Kaduna.
A nothern VP will be choosed and if it is El rufai case closed.
Kwakwanso and atiku can devide the rest vote while SE and SS vote obi and Atiku

tollyboy5:
I watched the debate obi fans were just overhyping. Osinbajo was realistic at the debate

Xbobtage:
Realistically speaking, neither Tinubu nor Osibanjo can defeat atiku in the presidential election. The reason being that Peter Obi is still running the race in a third party. Peter Obi will siphon most of the votes in the SE/SS annnnnd, alot of progressive yorubas will also vote for him, when you consider that osibanjo has been part of this government that has decimated nigeria. If we are projecting that Atiku will win atleast 65 percent of the votes in the north, then the only southern candidate who can win him must be one who can drain igbo votes. Yes igbos usually vote less in election times, but the igbo vote is looking like what will be the swing vote this election if the apc picks a yoruba candidate.

All Atiku has to do now pick another igboic VP and its game over, which ever way you look at it.

An alternative for APC might be that they pick Amaechi, who then picks a very strong northerner like El rufai or Prof from Bornu. Amaechi might be able to drain igbo votes from Obi, with a huge support from the SS and maybe 15% support from SW.

Point here is, now that Atiku is the PDP flag bearer, and obi is still running, If APC wants to win the presidency they will be making a risky move picking a Yoruba candidate.

onuman:
Some of them from the SW who think they are foxy would argue that Ekwueme also contested against Obasanjo in 1999 PDP presidential primaries.

But they feign ignorance of the fact that if not that a consensus had been reached for a Yoruba to succeed Northern Abdulsalami Abubakar, there was no how Obasanjo fresh from prison would have defeated Ekwueme who was the architect of PDP.


Nigeria must be getting ready for another Biafra exit from Nigeria.

abbey621:
We have two major parties in Nigeria, APC and PDP yet only one party is being singled out, what happened? If Igbo people truly wanted to be president then surely the party most responsive to them should have put forth a candidate from the SE.

Let me get this straight, you all wanted a SE president so bad that your comrades watched silently as the party of Igbo people(PDP) chose a Northerner and would rather blame the party(APC) that you only gave 5% to? IS THIS NOT MADNESS? Y'all want to hear the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Truth is very very bitter....Awon werey, no vex, manage president of Alaba for now

Arysexy:
SE is presenting Umahi and Ogbonnaya Onu.

SW should should join force with SE and bring a SE candidate. Why is Tinubu and Osibanjo dragging it in South, but shout equity and fairness when North try to retain it. SW will just complete 8 yrs as VP and greed will not allow them support SE. Meanwhile SW had 8 yrs under Obj

Gann:
you should have sang this lyrics when the south west didn't join forces with the rest of the south to keep Jonathan in office. there's already mistrust in the south and the north will forever capitalize on it. it's a very simple something.

Freedom34:
Out of 100 southeast delegates at the primaries, Pius anyim, a fellow igboman got a meagre 17 votes, and its not even guaranteed dt all d 17 were igbos sef!!! Yet na 'tilumbu' and 'oshibande' wey dey APC cause am!

[i]Orji Kalu is supporting lawan (a northerner)
Onwuzurike is supporting northerners
Ikpeazu is supporting wike (south south)[/i]I don't even Understand this people anymore I just tired fo this thier blaming everybody.

izit not madness for one to accuse others of not doing for him what he himsef refuse to do for himself?

#clowns

Arysexy:
I have been saying this and Yorubas think it's Tribalism. Thank God adeyanju a detribalised yoruba has said it.

Tinubu specifically started this distortion I. 2015 when they ganged up to grab power from a Southerner with hope it will be reciprocated, but Northerners are just like the proverbial ape you can give water with a cup but problem is how to collect your cup.
Who is Deji that you people are worshipping this time, an Atiku and pdp member infact Deji never impress me before he is so dumb on analysis.
They will continue using this formula to retain power.

Tinubu greed for power is the cause of this predicament

ZombieSlaughter:
Don't worry after another 8 years of Northern rule, when it is time for SE to produce president and SW oppose it, we'll send it back North and wait for another 8 years and see whether you wil have sense again.

Galaxyowerri:
Deji Adeyanju is now Igbo man for telling you the truth? Continue!!!

redPUSSY:
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Proverbs 14:12..


The two clowns Tinubu and Osibanjo thought they would inherit Buhari's supporters, not knowing that amajiris are preparing a breakfast for them.. I hope they won't do like Awolowo..

franchasofficia:
This foolish Ohanaeze nonsense is speaking for their selfish self only.


Unless APC field Lawan vs Amaechi, Atiku Abubakar will win 2023 Presidential election.



Igbo votes will be split between Peter Obi LP, Atiku PDP and Lawan/Amaechi South West can never be your problem because since independent you decide to be in different party while south west belong to there opposition jeje so dey your dey make will dey our dey anything that come out from it will take


Once APC present Lawan vs Amaechi, the only regions that will decide the 2023 winner will be Northwest and Northcentral.



Atiku was never the problem of Igbo Presidency in 2023, Southwest Yorubas and their selfishness and greed are!

Ojuntana:
I'm Yoruba and you're very spot on.
The two major tribes in the South have historically been the problem if the South politically and still are.

Na just waste of time
But I blame no one but tinubu and his online urchins who keep overblowing his political influence and relevance. If he had any understanding of the northern hawks, tinubu should have shelved his ambition and backed the presidency being zoned to South East or South South at least. That greed he exhibited is what is killing the South as a political entity
