I doubt it if Northerners would vote Igbo candidate regardless of his national appeal unless his VP is someone that is well known in the North.

Northerners can't stand Igbos.

xtayle:
I like your objectivity and empathy towards igbos. but you must have seen from their responses to issues being raised by many here that they are not realistic people. in their thinking, they wiser and better than everyone else. to them, we are all fools. so whatever we suggest honestly to help them, they are going to pick holes in them till jesus come. Stop wasting your time.

That is the problem! they need to make ally with other tribes to be able to win presidency. I love a quote from Chuba Wilberforce Okadigbo, he said and I am paraphrasing "there are many roads to the FCT but the northern route is the fastest". meaning for him to make it to the state house he should pally with the North.

EzioAuditore:
It's impossible! The whole Igbo race has been cursed by Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. Or so I've heard?

Wscholar:
dreaming in broad day light, Igbo president my foot

aresa:
I highlighted the cultural part too which remains the basic foundation of their predicament.

They need some serious societal reorientation and attitude adjustment which sadly you can not count on since they are passed on from patents to kids and ground kids. Their leaders can not do anything either because they benefit directly from these deficiencies, this is how they hide and deflect their own leadership failure.

Serex66:
Actually Rochas would contest in 2019 and i think he would win....he said Buhari promised him if he supports him this time that he too would support him in 2019 and I know Buhari is a man of his words.

PassingShot:
I don't mind an Igbo or any other tribe being our president at all. Performance is the main thing for me and that should be what guides us.

I really like Okorocha and he should fancy his chances to be a president someday but I doubt if it will be 2019.

pazienza:
How exactly are Tambuwal and Fashola presidential materials? Is Buhari a presidential material too? Is he better than Ochendo in any aspect of leadership or personal achievements? Other than shooting himself into power?

pazienza:
Tinubu is another Awo in the block, he has once again decided to team with the North against Southern solidarity.

Tomorrow you lots will still seek to re write history as we know it.

aresa:
The sad part is president or no president, ibo land continues to regress and stagnate.

The problem is not ibo presidency, it's lousy, thoughtless, greedy, uncaring vision les leadership with societal bad, angry, bitter and unhelpful culture of hate towards other people.

They need to forget about presidency and work on their unhelpful, unwelcoming and antagonistic attitude against other Nigerians.

Tvegas:
If they stop calling the Yoruba amala eaters, if they stop emphasising how poor the north is, if all igbo leaders stop patronising every government in power. If the igbo masses stop seeing other major tribes as their enemies and forget about the yeye biafran agitations ......The list is long but they can start with these.

ramdris:
I disagree sir. All he needs is strong backing from prominent Ibo politicians as well as those from other zones. Fashola was never a household name when he became Governor, all he needed was a well known Politician in the person of Tinubu to package him. Same can be apply to Ogbonnaya. Besides he was a member of ANPP before they merged.

ramdris:
They can if people like Ogbonnaya are nominated.

Daverytimes:
They don't need the presidency, we need good governors because they affect the lives of the individuals in a state far more than the president does. Having an Igbo president is simply a matter of pride, nothing more nothing less. Will it happen? sure, its a matter of when not if.

MalcoImX:
Amaechi especially, if he's an Igbo can make it because he has a national appeal. Okorocha and Ngige too. But the problem with Igbo politics is anybody who tries to build a bridge to other Nigerians is seen as an outcast.

cramjones:
It gladens me to receive a call today by two colleagues informing me that General Buhari may have well decided to make me one of his Senior Special Advisers. I will reveal more after swearing in. I will still remain on Nairaland regardless.

I am happy that I will be part of the CHANGE that Nigeria seeks. Long live the General.

We would work for a better, stronger, more peaceful and progressive Nigeria.

Well....yes you would...and so would i.

But....in the good old days when our parents were young...a thrid class graduate from any of those unis was guaranteed a civil service job.

Nowadays.....even a first or second class has to do an aptitude test....and he/she may not get the job.

And the private sector would employ a foreigner...or a Nigerian with a foreign degree....to do the job over the regular Nigerian.

And even those grads you like get out...and do a Masters abroad.(Knew one chap who read architecture up to Masters....then went to England to repeat the masters...because he needed to learn up to date Architectural techniques.).

And even my field medicine.....you can't get a job in the lucrative healthcare NGO sector easily without knowing how to use SPSS or EPI-INFO. Which they do not teach in most medical schools(unless things have changed)

Let's face it....we need improved facilities in our universities...among other things. Pretending all is well in our universities because the gifted lecturers are still there(largely because private unis came around much recently)....is not the road forward.And it is either govt pays more money....or you pay more money.

Oklander:
Look at the heroism this way; It is expected that a drunkard dundee always acts ret.ar.ded all the time, so whenever the drunkard does anything that a sane man would, it becomes an awe .
One wonders why a person should be referred to as hero for accepting to go after been voted out for non performance and incompetence.

ticker:
We that are with you are more than those who are against you. We will miss you sir

bushdoc9919:
Federal universities cannot do as well as covenant because they are not well funded.

After all...when you pay N45,000 per annum...you get a N45,000 education. When you pay N500000 per annum...naturally the quality goes up.

If you want your federal unis to do well....pay higher fees for good facilities, and even better lecturers. Or get your government to find an extra N10 trillion naira in the next few years.
