Both PDP and APC have not officially zoned the ticket to any zone.
It is my opinion that PDP should not hurry to zone their ticket, let them wait for APC to zone theirs before making that move. If APC zones it to the SW, then PDP should be jumping for joy.

Because you know it would be zoned to the north in that scenario, I'm sure you don't want the SE to have it, you're doing all of this to spite the Yorubas and nothing more.
You better start fighting for your position in PDP instead of waiting for others to go before you, dont allow the decision of others determine yours and when you start to decide, it might be late by then.

Sctests:
And I repeat, there are Igbos in APC and have the right to aspire and be given the presidential slot.
Ekweremadu's beating is currently reseting Igbo politician brains, there will be more pro-Eastern leaders in every political party than ever before in coming years.

You are just going round and round a circle, who told you that the presidency in APC has been zoned to anyone and what makes you feel it should be awarded to the Igbos? Why are you not clamouring the Igbos in APC should fight for the slot since nobody is stopping them.
I guess that since that of PDP has been zoned to the north and the Igbos have no chance there, APC now must zone it to the SE, it doesn't work that way, you must fight for it since it's open in APC unlike PDP where the Igbos have no chance already

Sctests:
There are Igbos in APC, you can't prevent them from aspiring. Supporting injustice against the East will be your greatest undoing ask Awolowo and MKO in their marked graves.

Wailing has started already, who is preventing any Igbo from aspiring in the APC, what we are saying is that everyone must fight for it and nobody is giving you anything on a platter.
You've even started playing the victim when nobody is caning you and if I may ask, why are you so concerned about the APC and you're not talking about your darling PDP about having a slot there?

Sctests:
It is an unassailable fact that no Yoruba have ever been president with yoruba support. Pull him down (PHD) syndrome is more or less a Yoruba disease in the Nigeria politicosphere.

Do your findings.

They've had only one and it was their numerical strength that equally helped in voting GEJ in 2011, their strength equally installed Buhari and their brother the VP there and even helped for their second term. Which of these positions have the Igbos occupied since 1999?
I'm sure if the APC and PDP decides to field Igbos for both parties, Igbos will still go vote another candidate from the north in another party

Sctests:
What did the PDP owe you when they made OBJ president, even when you Yoruba were anti-PDP in 1999-2003?

Both APC and PDP have Igbo presidential candidates who are very much qualified, the same method adopted in 1999 for yorubas should also be applied for Igbo.

Stop your greed, Ojukokoro.

What he's only trying to tell you is that you face your PDP for any hope because you can't get anything from APC, your last hope is with PDP.

Sctests:
Did you vote OBJ?

Did you Yoruba vote Gani fahwenmi, the most lovable Yoruba man that ever lived?

Did you vote dele momodu.

Stop pretending history books do not exist?

There is no group that is more united than Igbos in this present Nigeria. None.
Unlike Yoruba Muslims who won't vote Yoruba Christians but keep fighting and killing themselves over who wears hijab to schools.

Unnecessary, you are a northerner so you can go on voting northerners, Muoghalu was on the ballot but you didn't vote him, have the Igbos ever voted an Igbo for president? You can call Yoruba and bring your Yoruba Christian/Muslim trash, it doesn't change the fact that Igbos would never for an Igbo. They prefer to align with the north they hate

Naughtysite:
The best Igbo Presidental Materials are :-

1. Former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Gregory Obi

2. Former Enugu State Governor, Justice Sullivan Iheanacho Chime.

3. Former Senate President, Mr Ken Ugwu Nnamani


Nigeria does not need People who Distribute Kerosene or IPOB on the beat in Germany.

Mr Peter Obi and Sullivan Chime are the Most Selfless Leaders Igbos ever had in the Last decade. Others can keep deceiving themselves. And Nigerians can keep running around with SELFISH leaders, ANALOGUE leaders who claim to Pight Karaption.

When they actually distribute Hunger and Recession.

Now you are talking, we can now start sensitizing Nigerians and subtlety campaigning for any of them

plaindealer:
Spot on.

I know them, have they ever voted an Igbo as president? Even late Ojukwu wasn't spared when he ran for the presidency. Give the SE the slot in APC and watch them ruin any chance APC would have in producing the president

Sctests:
You are trying to be unwittingly clever by half and you know it. There are tons of presidential candidates in the East but anti-Igbo yoruba Muslims enjoy being dumping your faces in your asses and pretending to be objective.
Adeshina like Moghalu, Okonjo-Iweala, Oby Ezeks, are not in APC or PDP but are equally globally respected cerebral technocrats so how is Adeshina positioning himself and the Igbos mentioned herein are not doing the same? Lol. These people...

There are also very competent hands in the APC who are Igbos like Dr Ogbonnaya and Pat Utomi. Yorubas were not pro-PDP when OBJ was made presidential candidate of PDP in 1999, why shouldn't such be done in APC?
Stop your pseudo-objectivity and come to equity with clean hands.

After the long epistle, tell us the Igbo person you want Nigerians to vote for so that Nigerians can start campaigning for him because nobody is giving anybody any undue advantage because of his zone or because he's Igbo, you must campaign and earn it

plaindealer:
Unfortunately for you, you are not being realistic. In what way have the SE positioned itself to achieve this goal?

The SE must grow and groom presidential candidate to present to Nigerians for consideration?

PDP, the SE's political party of choice is not interested in SE producing the next president because just like in 2019, they've again zoned the slot to the North.

It takes more than demands and sense of entitlement to get to Aso Rock.

Don't mind those jokers, their darling PDP they had slaved for over the years can't give SE the slot it is APC "the devilish Islamic terrorist party" that they think will listen to them. Even if APC decides to give it to the SE, they will still go back and vote for a northerner in PDP

Now it is known that Xenophobic attacks is an official South African policy because their government officials no longer hide it from public domain, it is time the Nigerian government starts acting instead of just talking. Nationalize all SA companies and push them out, we thought it was a criminal act perpetrated by criminals on their own not knowing they have the backing of their government.

Nigerians in SA should start relocating because it's now official.

Naughtysite:
Yes Either Akinwunmi or Tinubu.

Your selfishness screams to the heights.

After Obasanjo, Yaradua, Goodluck, Buhary, it's the turn of another Yoruba man Akinwunmi or Tinubu.

Since Igbos are not Nigerians or Akinwunmi is a better financial leader than Atiku or Peter Obi

Akinwunmi is a Salary Earner o. If he doesn't get paid, he will go hungry.

Let me tell you, myself can grow Nigeria's economy better than him as a Business man.

Which Igbo man have you nominated or you expect other Nigerians to do that for you, continue in your hate and before you know it another Yoruba man you hate becomes the next president

favour32:
My brother don't mind selfish people who don't care about other people.

Who are you nominating that Nigerians should vote for?

NuclearBomber:
Don't mind them. Their selfishness will be their undoing.

Who have you nominated from your zone or you want other Nigerians to just pick anyone from there and declare him the president?

gidgiddy:
Why? Because he takes good pictures with world leaders?

How is it justifiable that another Yoruba man will be president of Nigeria when the SE, NC and NE have not produced the president of Nigeria since democracy returned in 1999?

That's the question

Nigeria does not practice rotational presidency, it was destroyed by the SE politicians in 2011 because of GEJ. Go out there and slug it out with others because nobody is giving anybody any undue advantage because of his zone.

Even at that who have you nominated from those geopolitical zones you mentioned that Nigerians should vote for or you want others to pick anyone from there to become the president even without any voting

You Atikulated the last time so why not pick Atiku or anybody of your choice and start campaigning fast, no time

OMANBALA1:
Nnukwu nwanyi gba odu!!
Ada di ora mma!!

Ada di gini? Tell her to provide the billions she misappropriated for the Enugu airport that has been shut down, Ohaneze and other Igbo politicians who shielded her then should equally contribute

simonlee:
this woman silently stole the hearts of the masses. super woman!

Yes she stole the hearts of the gullible ones but let her return the billions that was supposed to had refurbished the Enugu airport.
All she did was repainting and adding "international" to its name, onye ori like her

a4cube:
Nigeria is run on informal economy. 90% of nigerians dont pay tax cos their business activities are not recognised yet you cant classify them as unemployed. That woman selling crayfish at your local market is classified as unemployed but in actual sense of a formal economy she is self employed and must fill her tax at the end of the fiscal yr.

Good enough because I was about pointing this out before you did

seanevadry1:
My own opinion Aba, Abia state would be better...

I love that, just give us a date if SAFA agrees so that we can send some bus loads of our upper Iweka friends to come give them a "resounding welcome" from the good people of Onitsha

IPOB has not been able to help or compensate families of their members who had been killed when they went protesting for the release of cowardly runaway Nnamdi Kanu that IPOB lied to the whole world the Nigerian army was holding, it is IPOBians in SA that they are monitoring and some are already jubilating.

I laugh in Japanese

MrBrownJay1:
Sadly bro, we shouldn't focus on the wrong issue here....because any smart man knows that one hand feeds the other, and there would be NO people buying drug if there was NO dealers, so let us be honest on this issue and accept that BOTH dealer and addicts are to be blamed on this drug issue (just like you cannot just blame prostitutes for the prostitution issue, and should also equally blame their clients)

What you wrote above is the exact same reason that xenophobs are using to warrant the killing and looting of foreigners.

The reverse is the law of nature, there must be a demand before the supply comes in.
Are you trying to say that if you don't take drugs and I supply you for free that's when you start taking it and blaming me for introducing you into it, what happened to your moral restraints?

anago40:
I know the SA thing is paining you as you say, also me too. But please hear my perspective:

I have lived in SA for almost 20 years.

What you see as pure xenophobia is actually community Vigilantism gone wrong or hijacked by criminals.

Some of the shops looted and destroyed are actually covers for a serious crime.

Some of our brothers take over entire areas and turn them into drug markets. But because the law in SA does not allow police to arrest criminals unless with evidence or unless shot at, so what happens is the drug guys hide these drugs in shops, restaurants etc and use as a face.
There are up to 30 public "drug" markets in Joburg alone. These are areas where 50 to 200 Nigerians converge on street corners to sell drugs. That's just in Johannesburg, and excludes other places.
The community knows and they try to inform the police. Sometimes these guys get arrested and bribe their way out when it fails the community takes laws into their hands.

Nigerians are not being targetted per se. The target is street drug dealers and yahoo boys who are mostly Nigerian.

Personally, in an area of Johannesburg, some years ago, drug dealers almost took over my property. We bought it and in the process of renovation, they invaded it and turned it into a drug hotel. It took God to evict them without being killed. It was led by Nigerians. In that property, there were families with women and children.

One strategy of selling drugs is to befriend young secondary school.Girls and introduce them. They get hooked and they start stealing and prostitution to feed the habit. Soon the entire area deteriorates.
Now, why I am sharing this with you is that the drug dealers are distracting attention. They are trying to make the Nigerian Government arise in anger and defend "Nigerians" ie defend drug dealers. if they succeed, they'd have staged a powerful coup. They'd have entered an official mafioso level, protected by Government.

Please see the article below: The Nigeria ambassador to SA said the majority of killings are perpetrated by fellow Nigerians. It's a drug turf war. he is right. I know some who've been killed.

So how can we accuse others of killing us when we are perpetrating it?

Those videos and pictures circulating of Nigerians in SA- how is it that we are shown only in the light of guys on the street? I know top Robotics engineers in SA, I know people in Top IT firms, developers, in Amazon, Google etc, I know top bankers, property company owners, many doctors, Superintendent of hospitals, professors, Pastors, etc.

So in summary here are my thoughts

- A vast majority of upright Nigerians in SA are very comfortable. They are doctors, teachers, business owners, etc. If we don't get the right story, we can set off a diplomatic war, everything collapses and these guys become targets. Currently, they are not being targetted by anyone. many are married to South Africans. Some head Government agencies and private companies.

- Yes, there are some xenophobic South Africans, but just like we fought against stigmatizing Fulani, we must also fight against stigmatizing South Africans. There are VERY many good South Africans, who don't buy into any form of oppression. Let us encourage our government to join with the South African Government and carry out a security raid on drug dealers.

If the Government announces this, you will see they will flee because they'll know the cover is blown! xenophobic attacks will reduce 95%.

The biggest donation event in the history of SA was in 2007 when people gave to victims of xenophobic attacks. The amount given was a record. It shows that the nation is not buying into that mindset.

- Please use your powerful platform to create a voice for good Nigerians in SA. You will be surprised. Many are afraid to talk because even Nigerian organizations in SA are infiltrated and even controlled by drug dealers and kingpins. No one wants to be killed. These guys are very powerful.



- Communities fighting to save themselves should not be hushed but helped to do it in a better way. Not jungle justice.
- Yes the SA Government must not also be left without responsibility in the matter, they should be tasked to step up their game too. While Nigeria targets drug dealers and yahoo buys, South Africa should target miscreants and criminals in a joint operation. SA Government also needs to purge bad eggs in its police force who are compromised. It Also needs to take its own share of blame for unemployment, poverty and economic challenges and social issues that allow drugs to be demanded.

I close with a prophecy by Pa Elton

"Africa is like a gun, Nigeria is like a trigger, South Africa is like a barrel

South Africa will be free. It will partner with Nigeria.

When that happens, Africa will arise and lead the world in many ways."

This prophecy was given in the hight of apartheid when it seemed impossible. Today it is half done South Africa has more bilateral agreements with Nigeria than any other nation on earth. We MUST NOT allow miscreants and criminals on both sides to hinder it, because if our national relationship fails, Africa will fail.

This is Buhari's "Mandela" moment. Will he rise up and shake off the pain and anger and mobilize Africa to unify or will he take a position that reverses the building of unity? I think he will do the right thing by God's grace, but I also believe publicizing the truth will help him and citizens.

I am open to discuss with you further on this matter, and if you feel the need to publish the above anonymously, please feel free. And if you want to do a tour to SA, I'll host you and we can go out and do a strategic mapping. I'll show you things that will make you see another perspective.

If I may ask, were those lazy South Africans forced to buy or use those drugs? They want it and it's being supplied so who do we blame for their stupid and silly excuses of accusing Nigerians for their ineptitude in solving their drug consuming problem?

APCLyingBastard:
If Buhari takes this advice from these Marxist idiots, MTN will sue Nigeria for $10bn!

British petroleum was nationalised to African petroleum and heaven did not fall and all because of this same useless ungrateful South Africans

AkeNathan:
He is right. Many Nigerians in SA are drug dealers and human traffickers.

But i wish the SA govt would seek assistance from the NGA govt on how to clamp down on NGA nationals with questionable characters who intend to come to SA and stay, because it is those ones with questionable characters that indulge in crime in SA

The Police of SA also, should do their jobs in bursting crime gangs, and not allow civilians attack foreigners lawlessly, because that is barbaric.

Assuming his claim is true, were those silly South Africans forced to buy and use the drugs, why can't their government do something about those lazy blacks taking those drugs? Demand and supply go together, why don't we have a drug problem in Nigeria just like in SA?
They are only looking for excuses.
I really don't blame the South Africans though, our government had been keeping quiet since 2006 when this madness started and it is only now that she is acting because the citizens have decided to take the law into their hands, useless SAfers.

MrBrownJay1:
At least a minister is talking about the Issue NOW, while since then their gov was very quiet about the issue of xenophobia, proof that they are noticing the damage these xenophobic attacks have on their economy.

Btw as much as I hate to say it (and it is irrelevant), many Nigerians are indeed drug dealers in SA.

Fact but they don't force South Africans to buy the drugs, wherever there's demand, supply must come in

patani:
I live in SA ...The spate at which this incidence was handled by Nigerians is appalling...I for once did not see any violence...Business are burnt every time by local in SA and this even happened in Febuary this year but the information was managed and business burnt already know they are prone to it. So they usually have insurance . No single Nigerian was killed or injured...However, Nigerians have been drinking paracetamol for another man's headache so sad

Tit for tat then, let Nigerians start burning South African businesses every year, don't worry they won't be killed just torching their businesses, datsall
