Obiagu1:
Whether his name is Ebelechukwu or Ebelemi is not important.
What is important is he will be the President from 2011- 2015 and maybe to 2019.

So deal with it.

no aguring let him win first before you blow your triumpet

if you want to vote for him, then that is fine by me so long as other people are not voting for him based on his ethnic affliations

then cool

tpiah!:
i dont do politics because finding integrity in politics is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

but what of the azikiwe which we were told is his third name.

jonathan know it is a lie a bloody lie

his name was never azikiwe but it is obvious that he had to pick that name to feed the ethnic bigots

shame on him

people are begining to wake up; our ascentors are not asleep

@op

i hope you are not alj harem

or one of his user names because each time the truth comes out (which is bitter) harem is to blame

Shakes my head

well all hope is not lost

FI DI FI

i knew

pictures please anyone

^^^^^^

you see i really do not see anything confusing about my ethnicity which by the way does not really matter in this discussion

now you and semi4lye watch and read well
I am half kanuri half igbo

i really hope that clears thinks up

it is not really that complicates

northerners are not telling me otherwise why is it the igbo part of my blood that is always insulting me

even since i was young igbos are the one always hitting on me because i am a northerner

strange but true

High_Chief:
Voting Buhari is not the best option to actualize that, your permutation seems workable but in Nigeria politics is not feasible

so what do you think

naijaking1:
alh harem=alh uche=the same person

yes

^^^^^
how u dey

my sister, even if jonathan wins; how are we sure he would not betray us

Kobojunkie:
ROFLMAO . . . . . Jonathan told a joke!!!

you dey craze

Onlytruth:
@Alj harem,

This is where we part ways.

What you are proposing is what we've had for 12 years in Igboland, and has led to us being relegated to the backseat of Nigerian politics.
You cannot be a jack of all trades and master of none.
We need a party that originates from Igboland, founded on our own set of values, and build that party into a national party.

We cannot continue with our past, thought I suspect that would serve YOUR interest of keeping us in chains.  
Ain't happening.  

No onlytruth do not get me wrong

APGA can still be a very strong force to recon with and ofcourse it is an igbo party; you just have to give them time to grow

what dem-people is saying is also true, APGA has to make inroads to other states apart from the SE maybe even SW or North. But first of all there is no strong politician in the east right now that can pull such crowd of people

we need to put 1 of our own in the fedral level

make allies with the SS and SW

make people know him and love him

THEN, we can talk about him being the president and if no political party like him

he can easlly move to APGA bring momentum of people who are powerful with him from the north and west

NO group in Nigeria whats to put us in chain and I certainly do not what to do that

our interest is best achieved this way

nuzo:
Are we ever gonna get tired lying to ourselves?

No doubt, Igbos have to get their games straight politically.
However, its so clear to all that in south east, Igbos voted for individuals rather than party, while other zones voted for party and religion. . . . . not really minding the individuals.

Now, tell me the difference?

Ive always said it that ethnicity and religion will be the deciding factors.

APGA, PDP or ACCORD; I rather go for individuals than parties.

i believe every group in nigeria from the border of sokoto to cross river

no group even in the north will vote based on ethnic or religious reasons

we in the north have now opened our eyes to reality

Onlytruth:
Alj harem,

You make sense with your points. However, I believe that APGA should be scrapped, or taken away from Peter Obi.

thank you

I do not believe APGA should be scrape, no point for that

since the nature of Ndigbo is that we move about (which is an advantage) then i believe the more party we are in the better the chances of us getting to the top in few years time

If the west love ACN then more igbos should be in ACN for the interest of our people in the WEST and also more shot at the presidential race

If the north love CPC then leave the igbos in there so as to protect our interest up north and more shot at the presidential race

If the east love APGA and ACCORD; let it keep running in the nearest future they will win seats in the whole east

You see onlytruth, the more diverse we are the more options we have for ourselves and that is one of the reasons i did not support jonathan's endorsement by ohaneze

We should keep our options open and wide always so other political groups would not know our decision to the last moment

I love as we have no king, thus we are more diverse and have different ideas on ground

different people with different ideas can go to different political groups so long as the interest of our people is served then i think we should be ok

ak47mann:
alj uche are you aboki

i have igbo linage

Onlytruth:
Alj harem

There is nothing to "come back to my senses" for. I have always supported ONLY JONATHAN, not PDP.
In fact part of why I support Jonathan is because I thought that Peter Obi wanted to ensure that PDP does not rig elections in Igboland. Well, they apparently didn't (I have not found any evidence that they did).
But Peter Obi sold APGA. That changes everything.
APGA is the most popular party in Igboland. So, if the party failed to win, it can only mean that APGA failed to field and sponsor better candidates. And I say deliberately.

i understand your point well

but now that APGA is not doing too well i think if Ngige wins he can be fielded in 2015 whether jonathan wins or not

it is a win win suitation here

ACN wants to be seen as a national party and that is even the reason they picked ribadu instead of tinubu

2015 or 2019 ACN has to pick a man of igbo extract as vp or presidential candidate

and remember we still have PDP to pick a candidate

if we get the presidential ticket, that candidate can then be groomed as a leader to the Ndigbo because of the power he has

what do you think

redsun:
How do we know who is not beaf on this forum?That guy is psychopathic

ak47mann:
acn party they are not better. criminals from pdp all jump to acn

thank you

that is the way i see it as well

Onlytruth:
I know that some folks will like us to believe that PDP rigged elections in SE. I don't believe that.  It is only that
People just voted the best they could find. APGA did not provide better alternatives.
My concern is that PDP is a tower of babel, serving only the personal interests of elected officials.

The duty of parties like APGA and ACN is to woo away good materials from PDP, or present better materials to contest against PDP candidates. ACN delivered in the SW (some say by hook or crook), APGA failed to deliver in SE.
Bottomline, we are back to where Ekweremadu will remain the selfish lame-duck deputy whatever-the -hell- he-has-been.

The highest Igbo in government is a houseboy to the senate president. Pathetic.
So, if Jonathan for some reason fails to deliver on his promise to us, we have no one at the national assembly to speak out.

I supported Jonathan on the basis that APGA would perform well in the parliamentary elections. If Peter Obi sold everything to PDP, then, he should scrap APGA and join PDP.

you can talk like this thank God you are coming back to your senses

Ok right now i really do not see anything wrong with the political suitation of Ndigbo, i tell you

if Ngige wins, then that would be the best way to elevate ourselves

because by 2015 ACN would have no choice but to field in an igbo somewhere in the national level whichcan be Ngige

also remember we still have PDP and APGA as an ace card incase ACN mess up

soloqy:
Please dont use the opinions of a few igbo people on an internet forum to judge the whole people.

People are beginning to think that opinions on an internet forum like Nairaland, represents the true opinions of the general public.

thank you my brother

jason123:
Another ODE blaming the yorubas for their political failure. I am sure if your roof is leaking, it is the yorubas fault. If your car is stolen, it is the yorubas fault.
Sincerely, if you do not like yorubas then NEVER come to the Swest or Lagos. I mean, you should not live with people that hate you, should you?

BTW, if the "average" yoruba man hates the igbo man, do you not think places like Lagos, Ogun and Ibadan will be the burial ground for the igbo communities ?[b] ODE[/b]SON!!!

cantell:
Igbos can never be free till they realise that the yourbas are not the cause of their problems.
They keep living in the past and this is one of the reasons why they are still the underdog in politics.

ekt_bear:
^-- Well said. At some point, you need to face your problems head on rather than blaming others for them.

i am igbo myself and i can tell you that this people considered as igbos on this forum are lairs

ezeuche and co i am serious

when buhari wins, nigeria would be a better place

phantom:
lest you all forget acn is it today because of one man and one man only, fashola.tinubu and acn are havin a free ride on his back.never forget that.if for anything,the south west is the region in trouble today because they have voted in a 'party'.a party that is increasingly and will become the pdp of yesterday thanks to crosscarpeting.it is not yet uhuru.

gbammm

thank you

Andre Uweh:
For Fashola to be widely accepted by Nigerians, he should probe Tinubu for maladministration and other sins.

how

has ohaneze, ibb, OBJ and others probe jonathan for the misuse of funds he committed in power as a governor and even as the current president before he was accepted

Andre Uweh:
The APGA guber candidate may win in the guber elections. Nass polls is so different from guber polls.

maybe

but remember PDP is still there

^^^^

gbammm na real ode

^^^^^^

well supported

onye_ngbu*:
I have said it b4 jason123 and alj harem are the same person.
His only cover is trying to write not-too-good grammar as alj harem.
However, his inconsistent tribe claim almost found him out in the begining.

i am jason and fstranger

you u do not know, better know now

joeyfire:
@OP - We Ndigbo are wonderful in many things but unfortunately we are crap at politics. Though I cant really describe Tinubu's pocketing of the south west in his agbada as liberation.

gbammmm

ChinenyeN:
You have funny expectations, EzeUche. You want the truth to be told? Well, truth is that the Igbo should get used to not seeing presidency. They should realize that simple reality and divert their time and energy to more pressing, practical, on-the-ground issues. Start crying about that for a change.

long time, how u dey na
