Perfectly sensible decision from the Adamawa government. This will lead to the growth of the meat processing industry. In the North and reduce herdsmen-Farmer clashes.

Bye bye then

BREAKING NEWS:
His name is Brigadier General Aminu Kano-Maude, a former Director of Finance in the Army Headquarters and a Former Lecturer in the Department of Accounting, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria (ABU).
He is said to have embezzle over 39b.
He died in November, 2019 from Cancer.

So all these time that people were complaining that former President Goodluck Jonathan didn't buy ammunitions, it was this Aminu Kano who stole all arms fund and bought over 30 Filling Stations, Buildings and Shopping Plazas all over Nigeria.

It took over 5 years to trace and compile the magnitude of his corruption which is over 20 Billion Naira that is the monthly Federal Allocation of at least 5 states in Nigeria.

EFCC have been able to recover 29 properties worth over 10 Billion Naira and they keep discovering new properties as the years goes by.

The Federal Government didn't detain or prosecute him because he was from the ruling Caliphate, it was only after he died that the press got wind of the colossal embezzlement and robbery.

When it's a southerner like Denzani, na then their strength go come out

Esseite:
I dont think the Igbos lack diplomacy, I think other regions (not everyone in it) lack diplomacy on the Igbos.. one might even say there seems to be be a sense of racism and segregation rapidly growing against the Igbos.

This is a region that has waited and watched on the sidelines while giving support to everyother region, the region has been derided and called names, relegated to the extent of not a single position on the hierarchy of power in the nation, despite biting policies and untold hardship it has not stopped its travels to every nook and cranny in the country while creating a sense of unity and building relationships. How is the emeka and chinedu you get spare part and household items from while being cordial with you different from the one that aspire for leadership in his or her country?

Cry me a river!
Was an Igbo man not VP to Shagari?
Were Igbo men not Senate presidents in Obasanjo's time
The simple truth is the Igbos hitched their tent with PDP. That worked for a while, but eventually when PDP lost, they found themselves outside the power equation. They need to learn from how the SW built an alliance with the NW. All this boasting, shouting, threatening , crying...is not going to get them anywhere.

EmirGold:
*Reject VP slot
*Vow to sanction any Igbo politician who accepts to be running mate to candidates from other regions
*Threaten to quit Nigeria, if…

ABUJA – Notable personalities from the Southeast, under the aegis of Igbo Elders Consultative Forum, IECF, have insisted that their geopolitical zone must produce the next president of Nigeria.
They also threatened heavy sanctions against any Igbo politician who accepts to be presidential running mate to any person outside the Southeast zone.
The Chairman of the forum and former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, made the remarks while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.
Present are the briefing were the former Minister of Education; Prof. S. C Madubuike; Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo (FCT chapter), Dr. Nkonye Kingsley; His Royal Majesty, Igwe Ibe Nwosu, among several leading Igbo scholars and traditional title holders.
Ezeife insisted that it is either the Southeast is allowed to produce the Nigeria’s next president in 2023 or the region will quit the country.
He said, “Emboldened by the increasing demand and support by credible and patriotic Nigerians for power to shift to the South in 2023, the Igbo Elders Forum hereby encourages visionary, credible and creative presidential materials of South East zone to declare their intension for Presidency and pursue it with every sense of seriousness, vigour and commitment.
“We are very serious about this directive, and do not mean those unserious bootlickers, who are angling to be running mates to candidates from other parts of
the country, as the Igbos will not take it lightly with any of our sons or daughters who accept to be
running mates to any person outside the South East zone in 2023.
“It is either we are allowed to produce the president of this country in 2023 to change the appalling narrative of continued decay, poverty, insecurity, poor governance, corruption and maladministration in Nigeria or out of it. No half measure, as serious
sanctions will be visited on any Igbo man or woman that sabotages this noble and patriotic decision of our people to provide for Nigeria a credible, visionary and
creative president.
“Legally, morally, and strategically, it is the turn of the Southeast to produce the next president of the
country as the other zones have been given the opportunity to serve this country in that capacity.”
Ezeife also argued that it is not just for the sake of equity, justice and fairness, but also for a change of narrative of Nigeria, which he described as the sleeping giant of Africa.
In the same vein, the Secretary of IECF, Prof. Charles Nwekeaku, warned that any political party that does not zone its presidential ticket to the Southeast will lose the region’s votes.
“We are waiting for them (political parties), as they will meet their Waterloo this time, if they insist on
shortchanging the Southeast people this rare opportunity of producing a credible, patriotic,
detribalised and dynamic president of Nigeria in 2023,” he said.

Stupid people. So you'll come and force me to vote for a SE person abi? Nonsense. Instead of your candidates to be building alliances across the country, they are waiting for zoning. Una go wait tire.

Gumi will not be happy with thus news!!

Everything is happening in clear sight for all who choose to see. First Amaechi gets a major title in the presidents home state Next the presidency goes out of its way to inform us that a major appointment has been made, based on Amachei's recommendation. This has not been done for any other minister or the VP.
Buhari is sending a message that Amachei is his chosen one!

Nigeria will miss Buhari.

Please Please anybody who knows Tinubu or those close to hom, should plead with him to drop his presidential dream. It is clear the heavens do not want him as president. He will only loose money, prestige, and maybe even more, if he persits with his ambition

The simple truth is Nigeria is not yet ready to have a situation where 'The best man wins'. I really hope we get there one day, but for now, rotation between the North and South is the way to go. If Buhari had been a fair leader, that had carried all along, then prehaps people would be more sympathetic to the idea of no zoning. As things stand, after 8 years of ethnic bigotry and Fulani expansionism, there is no way, the south will accept another Northern president to take over from Buhari.

TooNoisy:
Amaechi that cannot win a local government election in Rivers State, is that who will win presidency?

Amaechi will not win one State in the South if he is brought forward. All these titles are compensation on the money he spent on Buhari's election and for building his wasteful "University of Transportation" in Daura.

Amaechi stands no chance.

Obasanjo did not even win his ward in 1999, yet alone any state in the SW, yet he won the election. If Amaechi is the candidate, the SW become the king makers. He will win the north by a wde margin the SE may vote PDP if those pick Atiku and and a SE running mate. The SS will be split, I think Amaechi will do better than many people think. Will states like Delta and Edo, Akwa Ibom, vote for Atiku? The SW will have candiate in either main party so they become the king makers

If you think this is bad, just imagine what will happen if Bola Tinubu becomes president. Only is Nephew Wale Tinubu of Oando will be allowed to import refined products into Nigeria!

In a sane country this man should be suspended immediately from the police. Nigeria is indeed a zoo.

Osinbanjo is just being used to divide the SW. Amaechi is clearly Buhari's choice. This is going to be interesting!!

Any serious person knows this. We have run up a mountain of debt, population growth is off the charts, rampant insecurity is present all across the nation.

I thought they were saying it could only be SE President? Know it's any 'Igbo speaking person'. That's ok the more the widen the criteria, the more wider the candiate pool.

naija4life247:
Una go cry tire.


The next Presidency is for Igbos. But, they must present their candidates and mobilize for them nation wide. Yorubas, Hausas, Fukanis, Kanuris, Ijaws have all done it and plunged Nigeria into more difficulties, let Igbos too try their luck. Who knows, an Igbo man may just be our Messiah.

However, nobody will zone the Presidency to Igbos, they must fight for it. The unwritten zoning is between North and South and not between the fraudulent 6 regions. That is why North-East or North-Central cannot say that it is their turn. Even during past elections, Buhari, Ojukwu, Abubakar Rimi and others contested against Obasanjo. The Presidency was not zoned to Obasanjo's village nah.

Igbos must present formidable candidates. Power is never given on a platter of gold. Power is fought for and won or snatched. Igbos must be ready to contest against the Yoruba candidates lead by our top joint strikers the Jagaban Borgu and Star Boy Osinbanjo, if they don’t prepare and mobilize for their candidates, we Yorubas will snatch the Presidency from them and they will cry blood.

At the moment, there is no better economist in the world that Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo the Solution. That's the man that taught so called world acclaimed economists from EU, US, World Bank African Union, European Central Ban and others Macro Economist. He taught them how to manage the economy when you see recession approaching. That was why during the so called global recession of 2008, while the world world was crying and weeping, Nigerians were smiling, laughing and throwing Owambe parties every weekend, that's because Soludo the Solution was in charge. But when Musa Yar'Adua another ethnic bigot got there as President, he replaced a proven professor of Economics with Sanusi Lamido who had just MSc in Islamic studies. If Soludo is presented as Presidential candidate, even those who hate Igbos (if there are any) will campaign for Soludu the Solution. No Yoruba man will vote for clowns like Pius Ayim Pius or Dave Umahi

But, for the sake of peace and inclusiveness, I think Igbos should have it. They have developed Malaysia, Indonesia, India, UK, US, Israel even Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, e.t.c. let us give them the opportunity to develop Nigeria. Afterall we did not know that the current lifeless terrorist hiding inside the Rock has nothing in his brain until we gave him the chance, let give Igbos too a chance, I am sure Igbos will not disappoint us like the lifeless terrorist.

You have written very clear and concise and deployed intellectual arguments over and sentiments. I've been saying more or less the same for a while now. The call to zone the presidency to the SE, is just a waste of time and resources. It's never going to happen. The SE leaders and people should be working on putting forward quality candiates and also be realistic. There is simply no way ACP is going to zone or select a SE candidate for president. The SE have simply not supported ACP strongly enough to now expect it to give them their presidentail ticket. That's just a fact. The PDP is a diffrent boat. The SE have been loyal to this party right from 1999, they have every right to expect to have PDP ticket, expecally as the PDP produced 2 southern presidents from the other zones in the south. My advice to the SE, is to focus ALL their energies on getting the PDP ticket.

Incoming President leading!

And some idiots will come and say we should vote Tinubu, Osinbajo, Amaechi....Southerners SHINE your eyes. Only vote for a candidate that is prepared to push for restructuring of the country, including state police. I dont care what part of the South the person comes from, but restructuring is the only thing we should be interested in for 2023

OGBEREIJEBU:
This man is competent to deliver yet, the media keep painting him with ethnic and religious negative colouration

The same man who said 'Anyone who kills a Fulani, earns a liftime blood debt'

The same man who said GEJ was attacking the North, when trying to counter Boko Haram.

Please if you don't know recent history, go and learn befoe you come and embarass yourself online. Every right thinking person knows EL-Rufai is an ethnic bigot and quite dishonest.

2023 will be a street fight. The APC will deploy everything they have to try and win. Atiku knows this. He needs a proven fighter on his ticket, not somebody will be speaking big big grammer all over the place. Wike is a warrior and proven fighter. Atiku/Wike is a winning combination any day. Even the SW will vote that combo over Tinubu. The only way the APC can match that is with Amaechi/Zulum

I've been telling people that Amaechi is the one Buhari really wants. Osinbajo is simply being used to split the SW and unsettle Tinubu. For Buhari and his Northern brothers, the most important thing is keeping the SS on side.

Windscribe:
No, can Amaechi win Rivers state for Apc? Absolutely no.

You can't give your ticket to a region where you're going to lose massively.

Delta state would vote massively against Apc, Delta pdp's vote his always above 1million.

Rivers state once delivered 1.5million votes for Pdp.

Akwa ibom state too is tsunami.

Technically Pdp are controlling 5/6 of SS states.

Thank God the big men in these parties don't think like Nairaland political analyst.

True points but ultimatly of no consequence. Obasanjo won the 1999 elections without the SW votes. Indeed he lost his own ward, but that did not prevent him from winning the election overall.

I also think the past votting patterns of the SS can't be used to predict the future. In the past the SS has had no investment in the APC and still had the emotional connection to PDP due to GEJ. If in 2023 PDP present a Northern candiate aginast Amaechi, I think you may see a very diffrent vote from the SS.

We need competitors in the cement industry in order to drive down the cost of cement.
As a civil engineer and builder I am already looking at ways to reduce cement contents in my buildings due to the rising cost of cement.

My brother we really need you engineer's to help us in this country by devising new ways of building that reduce the cement content needed. American house for example seem to use a lot of wood. If we can get more alternatives, it'll go a long way in stimulating house building and economic development

Divoc19:
Nigerian youth will be deceiving themselves saying there's no job and the Northerners take what is 'Available' today then, you all will start complaining tomorrow.

Who said Southern and Eastern youth can't build a life from police job or even switch to other jobs later in life?

Let there be no Excuse for Laziness please

Dont mind the lazy southern youths. They will rather face Libya and die trying to get to Europe, than take jobs in Nigeria.

Oghene1st:
APC is scared of using Tinubu or Osinbajo to battle a Tambuwal or Atiku or Bala PDP Candidacy. Swift victory then for PDP in South South, South East, North East and North West while North Central remains a neutral ground. South West Candidacy will only win South West. South East candidacy will only make the party win South South and South East but lose the other zones.

Omo na Northerner sure o. South is too divided for a party to risk giving her ticket to them.

Na my region own worse. Anybody wey come from South South go just lose yakata because Igbo nor go bother vote as dem don dey vex already. Yoruba too go vote their own person wey must come out for the position. All zones for South go fight each other.

Omo ,for south south we suppose just use sense for this thing, put forward some articulate guys to run as vice to Atiku. If Atiku wins he'll be 77 when he takes over. Na Yar'dua mark II be that one nau

PrinceOfLag0s:
The country will be restless if he's not released. I assure you that!!!

Even if he dies in jail, it's only in the SE that there will be noise and strife. Even Asaba will be quiet talk less of the rest of the country.

These charlatans will only end up putting curses on Bello on his generations. You really should not be messing around and mocking the Holy Spirit

What an Insult! Beg who for what? The South should make it CLEAR greedy Atiku, if he forces PDP to give him the ticket, the south will vote for ANY other party that presents a southern can. Our mumu don do

The North is lost. Decades of Alimanjari culture has produced millions of uneducated and unemployable people who now are onlyt good for Jihad or crime. There is no way any govt can rescue the situation. If the most ethnically biased govt in our history, this Buhari administration, can not solve the problems of the north, then nobody can. Nigeria going forward will be 2 countries in one, a forward looking, developing south and a backward, dissese and crime ridden North. They only have their leaders and culture to blame for this sorry and sad state of affairs

How can we even be talking about this fraud of a man as our next president?

In a civilised country this man cant even contest for local council elections, let alone president.

You have nailed it in this write up. The igbo political elites are all about their own interests, not that of their people. Today Igbos are shouting up and down about being given the presidency, yet when their own Ojukuwu contested, they did not vote for him. Say what you will about the other zones in this country, when they want something, they go for it, no compromise. Igbo leaders will always sell out just watch. Atiku will get the PDP ticket and another Igbo will be picked as his number 2
