Yorubas , Hausa/ Fulani will give 100% vote for Ogbonaya Onu, he's a known progressive party man, same as Ngige .
But can we say the same of their kinsmen vote in the east? Definitely No.2015 was still fresh, where all eyes were on Ngige to get the Apc seat from Anambra and automatically became Senate President. Did SE people vote for him?
Was Ngige not called different derogative names?

Orji Uzor Kalu, Onu Ngige, nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo, Joe Igbokwe etc were all insulted because they were in APC.
You don't see Yorubas or Hausas insulting their own because they joined PDP. It is now they want the presidency in APC

sapoyoro:
its a fallacy to say yorubas will not vote an igbo candidate..have you spoken to every yorubas and when did u become yoruba spokesman..
what is right is that u should say Yoruba people who support APC will not vote for an Igbo candidate..
dont rope all of us in to your APC madness please.

Nigerians are not voting any Igbo person after all the hate speech, you enjoyed it all while it lasted and now the result is being announced.

sapoyoro:
there are Igbo politicians within APC who stuck with the party despite the name calling and all..so this people should now throw in the towel and rule themselves out to their Yoruba counterparts just because they are igbos?
not an Igbo,but some of you guys assertion are absolutely laughable..if Osinbajo,fashola deserve to be president,so do okorocha and pips like Ogbonaya onu.

Osinbajo, Fashola etc were all supported by the Yorubas unlike Ngige, Okorocha, Onu etc that were insulted for being in APC even till date.
No major party is giving the Igbos the ticket because the Igbos would still insult that person and go vote a northerner in another party

Ikinternational:
Dude back n forth is really not necessary. If you believe a population of 40-50 million people can be handled anyhow, we shall see.
Suffering n smiling has worked for so long some of you believe it's the only option. Okay oo

Igbos were humbled in 2015 and 2019 and you want a repeat in 2023? It's well

LabDNA:
Come out live and say this. Stop hiding.

E pain am, don't derail our sweet thread abeg.
We want people like you to continue begging and demanding for zoning that is not coming to you till you change your hate and emotional politics.

LabDNA:
What actions lead to what reaction, you emotional weakling. I challenge you to an open debate on this issue on a TV station, I'll pay for the airtime.

Go discuss with Kanu and IPOB about hate speech and stop crying to me, I didn't beat you or did I?

LabDNA:
Go away with your toxic emotion biko. Go on TV and radio and campaign openly against Igbo presidency let's see your ugly face and stop hiding behind the internet like a rat that you are.

E pain the guy

Ikinternational:
You didn't speak truthfully, so I won't bother with a proper response. No need. All you people do is give myopic responses because you believe igbos are "trapped" n have to just take whatever Nigeria dishes out. We shall see

Chest beating as usual, if you're told to leave Nigeria now because nobody wants you to be trapped in it, you'd start shouting genocide

LabDNA:
Get away with your hatred, Nigerians won't listen to unhealthy emotional dying leaves like you who intend to drag the branch down due to your toxic emotions. 11 million Nigerians voted out of 24 million voters voted for a ticket with an Obi on it this year, most were non-Igbo. Statistically that is close to 50% of Nigerians who voted. Even Osibanjo lost his polling unit to Obi this year right in yorubaland. So yes! Nigerians will vote an Igbo.

So you can't just sit in your dirty hut and start making demented blanket statements about Igbo presidency. Go away with your hateful poverty-induced toxic emotions. Go fix your rotten life please.

As usual playing the victim card, everyone and even God hate Igbos but IPOBians love everyone even the devil too.
Continue begging for the presidency nobody is ready to give you in PDP or APC, continue insulting everyone, insult Nigeria as well, you won't still smell Aso Rock.

isthatso:
It is easy now to say we are not part of them, when they were making noise why didnt you condemn them? Your silence sent a message to all others that they speak for you. Now that election is looming, you are saying they dont represent you...that will not fly!!!

Leave those unity beggers begging for Igbo presidency

LabDNA:
It's really terrible, sometimes I wonder if its the same level-headed yorubas I have day to day dealings with that make all these toxic statements online or they just being hypocritical?

Actions lead to reaction you know, just natural

isthatso:
Did I say it is going to SW. Those who spew hate and incite hatred now talk about balance and equity?

Nigeria going forward is every man for himself, if you build bridges, you will get ticket and people will vote for you, if you continue to foster divisions and hatred you will continue to be isolated. Nobody cares about rotation anymore!!!

Take it from me nobody is voting for Igbo president, you have shown your true colours, do your worst, SS will collect presidency before you. You will now know the people you have been insulting since 2015 have power.

Well said, we warned them but all we received were insults and they now want to be compensated with the presidency after insulting everyone.

LabDNA:
And where is it in the constitution that APC ticket must go SW in 2023. The zonal rotation is what ensures that balance is created in the polity and it will remain as such.

There are Easterners in the APC and they'll assert themselves and ask strongly for the ticket, rightfully too. We must not allow greed and hatred make us blind to equity.

Igbo politicians jettisoned and killed the zoning in 2011 so stop crying over that, fight for your right

LabDNA:
I was never banned, I'm not a tribalist. There is a rotational agreement. Nobody is giving anybody anything for free. The East deserve the slot since the Fulani, Yorubas have taken a shot. Your dirty miserable hatred won't stop well-meaning Nigerians from seeing this truism.

Hmmm, anyway there was a rotational arrangement under the PDP that Igbo politicians jettisoned because of GEJ in 2011 so it is null and void since we don't have it the constitution and Igbos destroyed the arrangement.
Can you give us one or two reasons why the Igbos deserve what they didn't fight for?
So because you're in a class of 30 students, just because you're the only Igbo in the class, you must be given the first position even if you don't merit it.

Just30:
where are those countries complaining or begging?

how is their economy suffering?

https://www.legit.ng/1263787-nigerias-border-closure-hits-hard-india-thailand-others.html

The rice exporting countries are heavily reliant on the Nigerian market

- Reports say the wholesale price of top exporting countries fell on product glut resulting from a decline in exports

A report by Business Day indicates that the closure of Nigeria’s land borders aimed at curbing smuggling activities, especially of rice, has taken a toll on rice-exporting countries.

According to the report, the price of the commodity dipped by a joint 46 percent in one month in countries like Thailand and India.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Wednesday, August 21, ordered the closure of the Seme border.

Between that period and September, the wholesale price of the broken parboiled rice, the species in top exporting countries fell on product glut resulting from a decline in exports.

In India, the wholesale price dropped from $0.64/kg in August to $0.40/kg as at 30 September of this year.

In Thailand, the price of the commodity declined by 9.2 percent in the review period.

Data from both Thailand and India, which previously accounted for up to 90 percent of Nigeria’s rice imports, show legal imports to the country have declined at the same time.

Meanwhile, there are fears that Nigerians may buy a 50kg bag of rice for as high as N50,000 in December 2019 if the land borders remain shut by the federal government.

Yahman1:
Are u a Nigerian? Cos even those living in neighbouring Countries know how Strong the Nigerian Market is

He's a Ghanaian so pained about the border closure

udemzyudex:
Dele momodu is a greedy man,I wonder why some people still take this guy serious.


I remember when he was gallivanting with Atiku, immediately he heard Buhari won Baba quickly switch alliance.

The Yorubas are smart in this department if you don't know, they are already doing and trying a psychological test on Nigerians on who to pick for 2023.
Today it is Tinubu, tomorrow Fashola, next Adewunmi etc, testing the waters until when the time is fulfilled and they pick one that is more preferable to Nigerians unlike some people who are begging for the presidency be zoned to them.

Yinibixema:
Go carry Apc ticket now. It’s better you don’t deceive yourself. 2023 is for yorubas

Leave that one abeg, he feels elections are won online as they were deceived in 2015 and 2019.

honourhim:
Oga stop lying. There was loyalty.

Yoruba camped in AD.

Also PDP went for Obasanjo to compensate Abiola's issue.

In any case, it appears zoning is dead so let people come out freely and contest, Whoever wins thats it. No big deal about it.

Thank God you now understand this, fight for what you feel belongs to you and stop begging or blackmailing others in order to have what you hadn't worked for.

mrvitalis:
Was south west loyal to PDP in 1999

Was north west loyal to PDP in 2007 ?

Go force every Nigerian to vote an Igbo in 2023, other Nigerians did their homework and won the primaries and general election, Igbos should do same, your cry on social media can't change anything.
You'd only attract more hate.

raker300:
14th thread about igbos since yesterday..

If this is not madness, I don’t know what is?

Na wah o! Joblessness at its peak, so you've been monitoring and counting threads since yesterday? Smh.

mrvitalis:
There is no more zoning ...no problem Igbo's accept ...no more zoning

Yes 2023 everyone can contest north , south south , east n west

Hypocrisy is saying its the turn of the south n asking why Igbo say is their turn

Present and sell an Igbo to Nigerians that you guys have never insulted in the past for joining APC, you have an option in PDP though

OiOi:
I don't think there is any humiliation here. Obno was invited by the ICPC but he didn't honor the invitation.
Several efforts were made to reach him and it all proved abortive.
It's only logical to declare a fugitive wanted. The law is just and fair, he has nothing to fear if he is innocent.
The Buhari led administration is all about equity and fairness before the law

I tire o, he was invited but never honoured the invitation so why lamenting now? He wants Nigerians to start pitying him or what or maybe he wants justice on social media.
He can sue anyone na but let him honour the invitation before crying

LabDNA:
Umahi should defect and take the APC presidential. He fits the criteria. It's East2023.

Back from your ban, you're welcome. Go steal the slot for the SE please.
Nobody is giving you anything for free.

Afamed:
Did you vote Ngige when he contested for Senatorial post in 2015?

He doesn't stay in the SE, he's somewhere in Lagos, may not be of voting age sef.

Ikinternational:
Guy I asked you a very simple question to illustrate a point. You didn't answer.
In your mind, fairness is everyone getting the exact same size of cake. OR forget. That is totally unrealistic.

The igbo nation populace is more than most countries. Not to mention what they have contributed to Nigeria. But according to you, we should also concern ourselves with what tribe #289 wants because after all, they're also Nigerians. That's a laughable take.

I wish most of you just had the ba lls to say you're fine with igbos never getting the presidency. Instead of all this tap dancing you people like to do around the topic

What have other Nigerians been saying to the Igbos all the while, they don't trust the Igbos with the leadership of the country and nobody is ready to give them except they start building bridges of alliances and friendship with others, even the PDP doesn't trust the Igbos too.

seguntijan:
I gave up on Igbo presidency the day DR. CHRIS NGIGE lost senatorial election, it was very clear then that he's the next senate speaker if he wins but his kinsmen voted him out of the position.

I remembered that incident and felt so pained, this was a man that was adjudged one of the best governors of Anambra but just because of party affiliation, he was booted out.

MrSly:
Nonsense. Is Ngige not there already. Let them give him the ticket.

Is Ngige working for it or you expect APC to go meet and beg him to become the president?
Same Ngige Igbos insulted when he moved into APC

Ikinternational:
Guy is Nigeria the ONLY option for igbos? lol. Because that's the only way what you just wrote makes any sense.
It's hilarious how you took opinions from those on nairaland to be official igbo spokespeople. Because you were offended.
So igbos are the only ones misbehaving on nairaland abi? I really don't know why honesty is such a difficult task for some.

Let me tell you a secret, Nnamdi kanu is a nobody in igboland. He doesn't call any shots. But look what that man has done to shake the table. What happens when the actual shot callers say enough is enough? Can Nigeria withstand it? We shall see

It is speech like this that makes other Nigerians view Igbos with suspicion because they don't trust your loyalty to the country, coupled with the constant chest beating and unnecessary grandstanding as if you can do anything when the time comes.

Lilswaghanxum:
Nobody hates igbos you say? Really?
Why does anything that has to with the igbos on nairaland generate traffic?


Secondly, over the years igbos have kept faith with the PDP and so it right if they demand for a chance to rule Nigeria. Or does the goal post always have to shift when it involves the igbo.
You are talking about numbers, I guess it right when an igbo man sire children he can't train?

Work for the position because nobody is giving anyone anything on a platter. Let Igbos demand for their right in the party they've slaved for since 1999 PDP and not from a party (APC)they've always vilified ever since it was formed.

After all it the same Igbo politicians and their supporters that destroyed the rotational presidencies under PDP because of GEJ in 2011 even after they were warned of the consequences

Ikinternational:
How can you read what I just wrote and ask me that question?
Igbos issue is with the leader of apc (Buhari) not the party itself. N based on the past 5yrs, can we honestly say they were wrong?

That's a lie, the Igbos' grouse is with the APC party and not Buhari. We all remember when APC was referred to as an "Islamic terrorist jihadist party".
We remember how any Igbo that tries to affiliate with APC, the insults they get.
What Ohaneze is asking for is dead on arrival, nobody in APC would give the Igbos anything even if they all defect today to APC.
Let the Igbos learn to play national politics without emotions, let them discard the loss of GEJ(not even Igbo, Ijaws had moved on) and move forward. Then and only then would other Nigerians know and feel their presence
