Wike must be very stupid and ungreatful. He could not go and welcome his former box

iamDiabolic:
hahaha,am pro-pdp but fayose really goofed just like fayemi even worst.I don't know why ekiti are cursed with bad leaders as educated as they are.fayose won't finish his tenure though I wish lp,apga or kowa can win ekiti.pdp shud focus on edo nd imo.

If this is a joke you better stop it. Edo state is for APC and APC is for Edo state

Nonsense!
Sherif remains the authentic chairman of PDP.

Blackfire:
buhari till 2023 then.

Buhari should continue after 2023 till he is tired, he has done so much in this one year.

If he surrenders his loot to EFCC, spearhead the impeachment of Saraki and Ekweremadu, we shall accept him in APC.

gboss4sure:
Agreed.

Let's do it this way then.

Let certificateless saint buhari rule the north and west

Let the criminal GEJ with his doctorate degree rule the south east/south south.

That way, everyone will be happy.

God forbid! We in South South reject Jonathan. Let him go to his foster parents the South East and rule over them. Buhari is cleaning the mess Jonathan left behind you want Jonathan to come back and mess it up again. You must be heartless.

thomasthomas:
Good news!


You won't see the wailers here

They are not interested in anything good.

StunningCEO:
.....ibo traditional leaders look like cheap n dirty....no class at all.....

Why insult people old enough to be your father.

ndlife:
PDP..ALREADY DEAD ON >>>>ARRIVER<<

Arriver is the name of his village. He is telling us that PDP is dead in his village(Arriver).

That kind of village must be in Abia

frankline5:
guy,i know you don't get the game been played here.APC and Ogah have reached a deal for Ogah to defect to APC when sworn in.
If you are a good political analyst,you would have asked some certain questions:
Why is INEC in hurry to issue Ogah cert when ikpazu has aready secured a stay of execution?

Say no to another okorocha and APC in igboland.

What kind of a person are you? Are you not happy that APC wants to take over Abia State? What have you benefited from PDP? Nothing. My brother Abia has to connect with the centre. We don't want to be in opposition agin. We want to work with Buhari.

Pastor Ize Iyamu Igbinedion is finished. Ali Modu Sheriff is the authentic PDP chairman. He is the only one that can transform PDP. Up PDP!!!

bejick:
in that case we give Buhari 30years, we know he will not be able to do anything. cos he have the sense/ reasoning like you.

You are among the minority you can say what you like but we shall continue to have our way and rule over you

bejick:
for your dirty mind he is doing well. define how well is your well. when last did you see light in your area and yet you pay Nepa bill. your salary what does it get for you though I know your father is still feeding hence that statement. what is the major achievement of this present administration apart from lopsided fight against kwaroption. I raise yansh for you. If the lawyer dies along the line nothing will happen. it will only be sweep under the carpet as dele Giwa and Saro Wiwa. Zombies what are we going to do to you people to receive sense.

what you just said did not chainge the facts that your hero and adopted son Jonathan was grossly incompetent and a complete failure in all ramification. Buhari has been cleaning the mess PDP left behind, he needs more time. You kneed to kow that to destroy is very easy but to build takes time. Buhari needs a minimum of 8years to turn things arround.

dechriscool:
The most pain full aspect of this saga is the deliberate silence and deafness of civil society advocates,human right lawyers and media houses.No body is talking about it ,seem to be concern about it, in the face of this tyrannic and dictatorial style of Buhari leadership.They felt they are not being affected directly.Nevertheless,the batton will be shifted to them,by then no body will be available to stand in for them.
Nigerians we should stand up against this impunity, tyrannic,dictatorial style of leadership before it consume us all.
A NEPA bill holder for a president is not able to present ordinary WAEC certificate as require by the constitution.Some shameless people are here clapping for him.Tufiakwa,shame on the so called leaders of tomorrow.Leaders of tomorrow indeed.

Jonathan should be blamed because with all his certificate he could not rule, Nigerians had no choice but to try Buhari and Buhari is doing fine

Jirate:
Which Light?, is there any light in APC or in Nigeria for that matter since Bubu came on board.

In politics there is no permanent friend of enemy. There is no light since Niger Delta avengers are bombing pipe lines. I believe they want to apease them with the post of the deputy senate president.

APC and PDP will work together to impeach Saraki and Ekwere Madu. They will be replaced by the prefered candidate of APC as the senate president and Akpabio from the South South as deputy senate president.

chimah3:
We should also bar Buhari from travelling! After all he had done nothing for us!!!

Is your brain correct? Do you know what it means to be the president of a country?

99xtr69r:
Silly rants from a confused fellow trying in vain to cook up lies against Igbos who are determined to have a separate existence from greedy, treasury looters cum murderous parasites.

Many Igbos don't want to share a country with you anymore and yet you keep creating unnecessary attentions for yourselves on the internet creating and posting irrelevant topics depicting your lack of self esteem. You think in so doing you can blackmail the Igbo Nation to pitch tent with you and your cotravellers.

It's only silly fellows who desperate want an unwilling people to continue with them in a moribund country filled with hypocritical bigots and double-faced sorcerers.

The earlier you and your cohorts channel your negative energies towards consolidating your OduaArewanistan republic the better for your survival.


"...we have millions of millions of Igbos residing with us in our homes, in our towns, in our states, very peacefully, very industrious, helping our communities and our economy to grow..."- SULTAN OF SOKOTO, Nov 23 2015 - https://www.nairaland.com/2757943/nigeriannewspapers-biafra-im-worried-says#40343297

If you people want to leave Nigerian then you must first engage other regions in mainstream politics. You must have alliance with other region, win the love and trust of other region then you can lobby in the National assembly to get a bill on referendum. That is the best way for now although it may take a long way.

carmag:
if you've mentioned Jonathan's in ability to fight corruption and the menace of boko haram which made people to lost interest on him, you would have make sense.

your post is evidence that you're political illiterate

Corruption and violence have been in this country since 1960. Nigerians regected Jonathan because they were shocked when he revealed his igbo identity.

coolscott:
It was Igbos that went after him trying to own him. Even declaring (falsely too as I heard) that they were the ones who gave him the votes he had from the North in 2011. That was very... really don't know what to say.

What I can say is they eagerly brought their characteristic self-destroying moves unto Jonathan. How will claiming that they are the ones who gave Goodluck Jonathan the northern votes he had in 2011 encourage any northerner to vote for him again in 2015? They will naturally not vote the man again so that we all will see how much that your vote can do for him in the north 2015.

Igbos need prayers but I believe that as the generations pass, they will be delivered from the lingering curse.

You have spoken the truth. Igbo people need prayers. They were not like this before. I think they need to go back and study the history of Nnamdi Azikiwe to know what made him great. Nnamdi Azikiwe was a patrotic Nigeria, he was loved by everyone because of his priceless values. I think the Elders have a lot of work to do

Osakah24:
Which Hausa Voted For him en masse?

Although he did not win in most of the state in the North but the population of people that voted for Jonathan in 2011 election in the South West and The North is far more than 2015 election. There is no way only Igbo vote could have made Jonathan the president.

Mcowubaba:
Ogbeni, now that ur saviour Buhari is over associating himself with the North as seen in his comments, governance nd appointments is he making a very big mistake
Buhari is 200x more a tribal bigot than ANY PAST President of this Country dead or alive =FACT

Stop drinking Aspirin for Igbo headache, who send you
Believe me, if elections hold again between Buhari nd GEJ, Igbos will still vote 98% for GEJ, u can't do jack about it....
Ur President Buhari has made more Igbo people hate him than before....
I for example, before 2015 Elections I had nothing personal against Buhari, I'm not a PDP APOLOGIST, after he won, his utterances, governance, appointments nd actions has made me to personally have some reservations towards him....
APC nd Buhari are Scam, fraud, 419....
Very soon kerosene will be 400/litre
Tufiakwa

Everything you said is correct. But if Igbos do not vote Buhari in next elections don't be supprise he will still win. Because the Igbo population is very small compared to Yorubas and Hausa. Just check the result of the last sensus result you will know what I am talking about. My question for you is why are Igbo people always supporting people of questionable characters such as: Saraki, FFK, Dasuki, Charles and Henry Oka, Fayose, Niger Delta militant etc. Trust me these are the things affecting their image. I tell you if Igbo people start condemning evil today they will win the heart of most Nigerians

stephany007:
when you say nigeria does not trust igbo who is nigeria is it a certain part of this country.

I meam The Yorubas and Hausas and some other minority groups. They don't trust Igbo people

tyhgfrdeswscbhf:
I hate u Yorubas with passion...no tribe can ever trust u people

You cannot say that about the Yorubas. At least they are patriotic. But Igbos want Nigeria to break yet they want to be president. Igbos are the ones not to be trusted

fabre4:
Your post here portrays you as a tribalistic bigot and a political illiterate



Jonathan lost because Nigerians saw buhari as a viable alternative

he lost because he was sabotaged by members of his party and betrayed by northerners

he lost because APC and buhari was the popular opinion among the Western and northerners who represent much of Nigerian population

he lost because Nigerians lost faith in him coupled with APC strategic propaganda

Jonathan associated with the northerners more than the Easterners during this his last tenure



Op mention one project completed by Gej in the south east

I am not saying Jonathan did much in any part of Nigeria. What I am saying is that he over associated with them. Ok what do you say about Jonathan adding Azikiwe to his name? That made the Yorubas and Notherners to think Jonathan is for the South East only.

overall90:
The singular most important factor why GEJ lost the 2015 general election is Boko Haram.
I know a lot of peeps from the SW and NC who voted for Buhari not BC they have anything against GEJ but they believe that once he is elected,that BH will seize,not BC he is going to lead the fight as he boasted,but BC Boko Haram once appointed him as their chief negotiator and so they believed he knows one or two things about them.
Any other factor or factors are just secondary.

Maybe that is why Igbo and Niger delta militant are bombing pipeline to distract Buhari. Bokoharam is still there which means Buhari is an innocent man.

zendy:
GEJ did not lose because of the name Azikiwe. He lost because the opposition parties managed to come together under the APC banner. In previous elections, the opposition never could come together to form a mega party. Simply put, much of the North and Southwest were not happy with GEJ. I'm still glad that I never voted for Buhari and APC. GEJ and PDP may not have been the best but APC is much worse

With the way Igbos are behaving today do you think Nigerians will ever allow an Igbo president, I believe you know the answer is no. So why associate with a group that Nigerians don't trust

EteEdoho:
Even "Sai baba" chanters from the betrayal and slavish waste,who insulted Gej at will,and labelled us wailers,can't help but wail-zombiely,at el-dullardeens northernocracy.

All you have just said are all lies. I voted for Buhari and I will vote for him again, again and again. What he has done for one year PDP and GEJ the IB could not do it for 16years. Buhari will rule this country till he is tired

zendy:
Outcast in their own country? You really think if majority of Igbos had a choice, they would want Nigeria to be their own country? Most Igbos no longer feel like they have any vested interest in Nigeria, so they don't really care if they are regarded as outcasts or not

That is why I said Jonathan made a very big mistake for over associating with the South East because Igbos are fighting to leave Nigeria. He should have associated with patriotic tribes like Yorubas or the Hausas. Biafrans are like outcast

Ebubeslym:
Why can't some people let matters die a natural death?
Why cry more than the bereaved?
Did GEJ cry to you for succour?
.
What you have failed to mention in this obviously jundiced analogy is the fact that if GEJ decides to come out for an elective position again in Nigeria, the SE will still give him block votes irrespective of who he is contesting against.
That's how they roll.
And please stop bringing up this issue and creating unnecessary threads just to whip up tribal sentiments, i believe GEJ has moved on... You should too.

I wrote this article because of the love and respect I have for the Igbo people. This is supposed to be a wake up call for Igbo people to redeem their image before they are considered outcast in their own country. I believe there are Igbos with good marals but they are not airing their openion. They have allowed miscreants, the corrupt and people who should be behind bar to be their spoke persons. This is very bad. People with such attitude will not be allowed to lead this country. Jonathan had to learn this the hard way.

yarimo:
And @Op how come he won the 2011 election?

President Goodluck Jonathan enjoyed the sympathy of the
generality of Nigerians from all
nook and cranny in the country
by appealing to their emotions
when he made public, a story of
how he used to trek to school
without shoes. Another good
reason he won the election was
that he portrayed himself as a
detribalized Nigeria, which made
the Yorubas and Hausas to vote
for him en masse

The first map is a reflection of the 2011 presidential election result
The second map is that of the 2015 presidential election result.

The green area represent the area won by Jonathan in 2011 and 2015 elections while the red and blue area represent the area won by Buhari in the 2011 and 2015 elections

Former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan lost the presidential election because he acted like a political bigot


When former president Goodluck Jonathan contested the previous presidential election he won in most part of the country and met the statutory requirement of the law, defeating former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari retired, a fulani man from the North and other candidates.


President Goodluck Jonathan enjoyed the sympathy of the generality of Nigerians from all nook and cranny in the country by appealing to their emotions when he made public, a story of how he used to trek to school without shoes. Another good reason he won the election was that he portrayed himself as a detribalized Nigeria, which made the Yorubas and Hausas to vote for him en masse      


However during the 2015 presidential election. There was a lot of drama which snowballed into an overt defeat to the incumbent president. some of the melodrama are discussed below:


One of such drama was the sudden change of name from President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to President Goodluck Azikiwe  Ebele Jonathan.

There is the saying that you do not change a winning team, So why did he change the winning name? He changed his name in other to have a block vote from the South East and he got it. However this parochial and miscalculated move portrayed him as a tribalist, a political bigot and egocentric politician, because he did no consider the South West and the North.


Jonathan an Ijaw man and a legitimate free born from The Niger Delta area in the 2011 elections, suddenly became illegitimate and a lost slave in the 2015 elections and was adopted by the people from the South East.


Virtually everyday prior to the 2011 elections, on tv, you would see people from the South East and South South dancing with Ibo and Ijaw regalia and eulogising the president Goodluck Jonathan, giving a wrong impression to other part of the country that Jonathan had spent all Nigerian resources in these areas. To the extent that Igbo actors in Nollywood mobilized and openly campaigned for Jonathan while pouring insult on Buhari From the North. Some Igbos even accused Buhari of arresting their brothers who were into cocaine business when he was the head of state. There was no moderation, wisdom or even morality in their onslaught.


On 1st October 2010, there was a bomb blast in Abuja during the 50th independence anniversary celebrations. The then president Jonathan without proper investigation came out on air to exonerate his people, giving a wrong impression that people from the North were responsible, however, few hours later MEND- Movement For The Emancipation for Niger Delta claimed responsibility for the blast. The major player. Henry Oka was later caught.


All these point of view above point to the fact that the former president Goodluck Jonathan lost the presidential election due to over association with the South East (Igbo) which are a significant minority and he did it without wisdom. Yorubas and most Northerners voted for Jonathan in 2011 because they felt he was from Niger Delta but when he added Azikiwe to his name during the 2015 elections they concluded that Jonathan was an Igbo Man. So they changed their mind, because most people from the North and South East are not convinced yet that Igbo people are mature enough or even ready to rule Nigeria.  Don't forget the issue of Biafra still lingers in the heart of most Nigerians especially the Notherners. Igbo people unfortunately are not even helping matters by trying to redeem their image. Take for example on nairaland Igbos are very quick at supporting and defending people with questionable characters such as Bukola Saraki, Sambo Dasuki, Nnamdi Kanu, Ayo Fayose, Olisa Metu. Majority of Nigerians will not vote for such people. If Jonathan was a good politician he would have added a Mohammed or a Fashola rather than an Azikiwe.
