Approximately over 10,000 traders with businesses spread across the nation are coming together to form the HIGHER NIGERIA MOVEMENT in support of the Vice President, Professor. Yemi Osinbajo ahead of what is set to be a defining moment in Nigeria’s history, the 2023 Presidential Elections.
Sharing their stories, the traders are giving rave reviews of the VP’s obvious commitment to not just empowering small and large-scale business owners across the country, but also his overall dedication to providing a better standard of living for Nigerians as a whole. Singling out initiatives like the Trader Moni and Market Moni schemes, as well as the N-Power initiative once spearheaded by the VP, the traders are attributing the success of most of their ventures to one or two of these initiatives.
While the VP is yet to make his political ambitions known, there is an ongoing nationwide demand for his hat in the ever-growing ring of candidates running for the presidential seat in 2023. From traders across the country to startups in the tech industry, the VP’s reach seems to have impacted both young and old.
All traders who don't wish Nigeria well. They know that SW APC can't afford to ask for rotation of the presidency between the north and the south, but turns around to deny rotation of the presidency between the southern regions, because it's the turn of the SE to produce a successor to President Buhari.
A non political Yoruba man will prefer breakup of this useless country,
And all Yoruba are scared of support Igbo president because of the experience they had during Jonathan, "No man's land" saga.
Ordinary political power Jonathan gave Igbo, they turned it into swords & start chasing Yoruba, if not this scenario, the chance of Igbo become president was viable because Yoruba sees Igbo as their brother prior to that time
Igbo did not "fan Lagos no man's land " thing. It was a campaign then by some Yorubas to demonize Jonathan government in order to oust it from power.
Jonathan, an Ijaw man was president and employed a few Igbo technocrats to boost his performance. He also employed northern ex-military people for his defence strategies.
Yoruba sees Igbo as brothers, but some selfish Yoruba in APC want zoning to enable south produce a successor to President Buhari, but do not want zoning in the southern regions because it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari. Many other prominent Yorubas have continued to tell Nigerians that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari.
Newton85: "All indices of human development in Nigeria point to the SE as the zone with the highest." Typical meth induced delusions. Yet your people are scattered all over Nigeria like refugees. Makes sense.
Yes, we are scattered all over Nigeria milking your communities dry, use the proceeds to enhance human development of our people. But you stay in your kingdom in Nigeria strategizing for apex political power of Nigeria to loot the proceeds from oil and gas deposits in the SS and SE regions, and your loots go to private bank accounts.
Newton85: The last time I voted was 2007, so say something else. Peter Obi is a despicable and hypocritical tribal bigot. The scumbag turned the Fashola Anambra "destitute" saga into a Yoruba vs Igbo affair. He also called ACN "Yoruba party" as a campaign strategy against Chris Ngige. He will never the President of this country.
Was the ACN not a Yoruba party? You hate the truth.
Fashola started "deportation" of Nigerians from Lagos. It's illegal, so long as we are in one Nigeria. So if Obi condemned the deportation, what is tribalism about Obi with that? Find another excuse. You are playing local community politics.
Newton85: If the "eminently qualified Presidential materials" from the South East can't even make the South East the envy of the rest of the nation in terms of development, how do you think they will turn Nigeria around?
All indices of human development in Nigeria point to the SE as the zone with the highest.
Perhaps, you see the standard gauge rail lines in the SW and north as efforts of the SW and northern leaders.
How many modern airports, for example, have been built by state governors in the east? It's the highest number compared with any other zone in Nigeria, if at all you understand the cost of building an airport and its importance.
Newton85: How have the "eminently qualified Presidential materials from the East" turned the East to Dubai?
Must the eminently qualified presidential materials from the east build the east to Dubai status before they qualify to preside over Nigeria?
It's like the question some of you foxes of Nigeria pose to the leaders of the SS region: how much development have the SS leaders done in their region with the 13% derivation fund we give them? Silly question.
Togobroz: Happy new month to everyone and I wish to thank God for his grace so far.
I have been a hustler for long trying to make ends meet and at a point I was able to save about 1.5million naira to travel to China but unfortunately I was duped and my hard earned money went to voicemail. I kept struggling and saving money to go to Europe but I was denied visa twice to two different countries and then I gave up.
I decided not to travel again but the stress and insecurity in Nigeria has been worrisome especially in my region so I decided to travel to any french speaking African country and just experience a whole new different life outside Nigeria. My initial plan was to go to Burkina Faso or Equitorial Guinea and I did some research that would guide me as I didn't know anyone in both countries and I was just determined to go on this adventure myself.
I saved up some money which got to almost 3 million naira and then I crossed my heart and made my trip. From Nigeria I crossed into Benin Republic and then to Togo where I was supposed to cross to Burkina Faso. On getting to Togo it was quite late so I had to pass the night in a cheap hotel of 2000cfa franc. In the hotel I met some Nigerians going to Ghana with some friends based in Togo. I was hearing their conversations as they drank at the bar while I sat alone with a bottle of their local beer Castle.
Being that in Togo I discovered they hardly speak English, I decided to introduce myself to those Nigerians so that I can make some enquiry from them and that was how we all got talking and gisting till late night. The guys based in Togo told me alot about Togo and how life is cheap if one has some capital to get accommodation and start a small business. I was made to understand there is steady light, water and security in the small country. The next day I was suppose to leave for Burkina Faso I decided to pay for the hotel room for a week and explore Togo a bit. The guys I met that were based in Togo already were really helpful and they took out time to show me around, know the prices of stuffs and where to buy cheap stuffs as well. I began to fall in love with the country except for the fact that most people don't understand English, though some try to understand and speak a little so you have to scatter the English for them to understand.
I decided to find a house and few days was enough for that. I got a room and parlor self contained house for 30,000cfa a month and paid a year which is 360,000cfa. They hold 6 months as deposit and after six months I start paying 30,000cfa monthly or anyhow I wish to stretch it based on my pocket. I just furnished it a little and I am just chilling with steady light on a brief. The house has a prepaid meter so I recharge and use according to my power.
After making some deep enquiry about what business to start at least for now, I bought a tricycle they call Apsonic here in Togo. It cost 1.4million cfa brand new plus the plate number registration and all. Then I found a driver who took it on hire purchase to balance 2.5million cfa at 25,000cfa per week.
My good people, I know I have not reached where I am going but I bless God for where I am coming from. Right now I just relax myself planning my next move while every Saturday I wait to receive my weekly salary. With life here if you are someone that knows how to manage, even 1000cfa can feed you a whole day so I am really doing my best to see how much I can save by the end of this year over here and know my next move.
Please you all pray for me as I also pray for you all. The journey of a thousand miles always start with a footstep.
Well done. 1) insecurity in Nigeria, brought by those of Sharia criminal justice system, has wrecked Nigeria. Boko Haram and bandits fight for the same cause of having a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system. 2) inflation has hit the rooftops in Nigeria. Worse, the ruling political party has put every thing, INEC, Security agencies, electoral system, etc, in shape to enable it remain in power after 2023.
No presidential aspirant today has better and longer service in government than Pius Anyim.
It's payback time from the SW to the SE to support Igbo presidential candidates, possibly for the two largest political parties, so that the presidency will rotate to the South. The SE voted for two SW presidential candidates to fly the presidential flags of the two largest political parties in 1999, voted for Obasanjo.
No Nigerian with conscience will not tell that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari in 2023.
A country built on inequity and unfair practices collapses.
Ojiofor: gidgiddy get your PVC first and encourage others around you to so.Those shouting no election in Biafraland are actually demarketing our politicians at federal level.
More people are fiecer and shouting Oduduwa Republic than the people shouting Biafra.
gidgiddy: Well, you're going to find out soon that Nigeria is not a country built on justice, equity and fairness.
Then, what happens to a country not built on justice and fairness? Your answer shall be as good as mine. Mine is such a country shall CEASE TO EXIST before long.
gidgiddy: Because if PDP gives an Igbo man its ticket, the North wont vote for him, they will vote the none Igbo APC candidate.
The only way an Igbo man can be president is if the two major parties, PDP and APC, zone their presidential ticket to the South East, same way the 3 major parties of 1999, ANPP, PDP and AD all zoned the Presidential ticket to the South West
Without that happening, no Igbo man stands a chance
It's now payback time from the Yoruba to the Igbo. If the Yoruba support an Igbo presidential candidate now, the presidency comes to south in 2023.
To make a Yoruba to become president of Nigeria, we had to make two Yoruba persons to fly the presidential flags of the two largest political parties in 1999.
Igbos voted for Obasanjo even when Yoruba did not vote for him.
No southern presidential candidate can win Nigeria's presidential election if northern region supports a northern presidential candidate. Nigeria's skewed and lopsided 36 states political structure guarantees northern presidential candidate to win at any time.
gidgiddy: It is common knowledge amongst most Igbos that an Igbo man will never be allowed to be President, theres nothing hidden about it.
Knowledge that only you have, not common knowledge for the Igbos. Who will not allow an Igbo to become president of Nigeria? 2023 is the defining moment for Nigeria's integrity. We have been zoning the presidency between the north and the south since 1999. It's common knowledge that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari.
WesternOligarch: Peter Obi. President elect of the supporters club of nigeria.
If Peter Obi can't become president of Nigeria, it's because having mediocrity in Nigeria's presidential seat has eaten deepest in your body and others like you in Nigeria. Yours is the way for ethno-religious bigots. No be Nigeria we dey? Mediocrity shall eventually crumble Nigeria on the heads of all of us, if we continue to refuse eminently qualified presidential materials from the east, but prefer a mediocre from elsewhere.
FoolaniHellman: If Igbos truly want the presidency, they should demand it from PDP!!!
All this 24 Years of Igbos faithfulness to PDP shouldn't be in vain as we all know APC is Amala & Ewedu party according to you guys .
I rest my case
So we should ignore Oduduwa nation agitators for the SW, but stick to Biafra agitators for the SE in the choice for who from the south succeeds president Buhari?
Most Shophistiwretched lot. You designed that cartoon for campaign for the SW to produce a successor to President Buhari.
SeriouslySense: Exactly, there is no wealth from harming another person, very true.
If money can be made through ritual killing of a human being, white people in Europe and the Americas would have mastered the art of ritual killing to make money, long before any black people. But ritual killings don't exist for Oyibo. Some poorly educated Nigerians waste human lives in the name of ritual killings to get rich. Alas, they don't get rich from wasting human life in rituals.
Our society glorifies materialism and worships lucre in all facets. What we have now are consequences of a failed value system, starting from the family unit, pervading every fabric of our society. Nollywood projects ritualism, yes, but blaming it all on Nollywood is ludicrous.
And, to say that ritual killings are not getting worse and are only being accentuated by social media/Internet is a wrong conjecture. Ritual killings are actually at an ALL TIME HIGH, unlike what was, before social media/Internet came to be. It's alarming, alarms ought to be blaring by now.
From primary school to university teaching, a lot of new education is needed in Nigeria to inform people that there is no way sacrificing a human being can make money for one.
No defence for Nollywood which made people think that rituals to make money truly exist.
How can sacrificing a human being make one become rich? Many who believe in sacrificing human being to get rich are poorly educated people. Nollywood started to teach them that nonesense.
The man who deliberately made Imo state become only the state capital, an ugly legacy copied by his successors. Imo is a sorry state in the SE. This man caused it.
irepnaija4eva: What of the university he built in his village with state funds?
Okorocha wants to become president to retake the university. Imo state government has since grabbed the university from him and converted it to state government university.
jaxxy: Igbos only support Fulani to spite political opportunist in Southwest for not playing fair in southern politics and being their fellow southern brothers keeper.
It is to sabotage the work of the political opportunist until they play fair in southern politics.
Yoruba’s should embrace their southern brothers in the east. The south needs to be one to succeed.
Very good response. If the SW doesn't support the SE to produce a successor to President Buhari, I see the SW in 2023 with NADECO 11.
FoolaniHellman: I find it pathetic that igbos would say APC is Amala & Ewedu party and so on and would chest beat that APC can't win any election in the East but they want the Amala and Ewedu ticket Zoned to them crying foul but it's glaring PDP is zoning their Presidential ticket to the North for sure! So who are the Okoros trying to deceive
There are capable Igbo presidential materials who founded APC with Tinubu and Buhari. It's not all Igbos that resent APC. Your blackmail of the Igbo leads to nowhere. It's obvious that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari. If the SW doesn't back Igbo to succeed president Buhari, a northerner shall succeed President Buhari.
This man is one of the Nigeria no go ever be in peace. He is always seeking for power for his Fulani. While Tambuwal was PDP Speaker of the HoR, he was working for a notherner, Muhammadu Buhari, in APC to take over power.
He succeded. He now wants to take over from Buhari.
Above all, it's not the turn of the SW to produce president for Nigeria in 2023.
There are other Igbos who like Tinubu, are foundation members of APC. The fact that more people from the SW region voted for Buhari than people from the SE region, is no reason to reward the SW to produce a successor to President Buhari. Zoning has been in Nigeria.
PHIPEX: Many [b]people on social media thinks Nigeria started in 1999. Exce[/b]pt if the word Justice does not exist in Nigeria will anyone justify dening the South East their slot in 2023 then it will become a fight to finish for all regions. That will also mark the end of any thing called power sharing in Nigeria.
If you feel rotation does not matter then both the president and his vice can also come from same region.
The trick of counting from 1999 is meant to deceive the uninitiated.
kettykin: Instead of any section of the country to be denied justice, let the country burn into pieces. Denying any part of the country justice, equity and fair play is on its own a void of the constitution and should be treated as such.
Well, not let the country burn into pieces, but let the disintegration of Nigeria start in 2023 if justice is denied the Igbo.
The skewed and lopsided political structure created by northern military dictators necessitated rotation and zoning of the presidency in Nigeria. It's the turn of the SE to produce president in 2023.
IGBOSON1: So how come Zik and Balewa, that served at the same time, are listed together? Or is this just an attempt to add more Igbo names to the list?
I wonder. Zik was never a Head of State. He was a ceremonial president without powers.
