Ireportlive:
Yaradua gave them full pardon as part of the amnesty deal

And you think Yaradua would have kept MNK in prison like Buhari did. Asari should have made this noise while Buhari held sway and he would have used his eyes to see his ears.

A freedom fighter who runs after government contract vs one with poor people's money over a Biafra fantasy,which one is better?

Freedom fighters don't run after government money. Your hero is running after government money by chasing pipeline contract for his self aggrandizement and you call that freedom fighting? Smh

Ireportlive:
They had Naval protection

And when he fought against the Nigerian Navy that was not crime against the state ehn?

Ireportlive:
What crime did Asari commit?! He took up arms to protect his environment from IOC and Oil thieves

Kanu was online inciting violence in his very own region, making his own people sit at home

Were the IOCs armed to warrant him taking up arms against them? When he took up arms didn't he destroy Nigeria's economy? What do you call that? Freedom fighting abi? Oga, free me abeg.

YouAreFinished:
Your own is a freedom fighter but others are thugs abi

Nnamdi Kanu talks about his people while your own is running after pipeline contract that FG has already awarded to Tompolo. Now, between the two who is a freedom fighter and who is a thug?

YouAreFinished:
Your own is a freedom fighter but others are thugs abi

Yes. Do you have a problem with that?

Ireportlive:
Yaradua gave amnesty to ex militant and they are free from any crime

As a matter of fact they are freedom fighters

Freedom from what exactly?
Is that thug also a freedom fighter?
It is in a place like Nigeria that freedom fighters like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are designated as terrorists, while thugs like that fat toad are designated as freedom fighters.
Still watching Tulumbu sha.

APC governors again? Thought they said Tinubu has got this wrapped up. It was APC governors that destroyed Buhari's government. Tinubu should be his own man and pick the technocrats his spokespersons have been shouting about.

What do I know sef, when Peter Obi is coming.

As Tinubu papa wey you be nah

Look, don't try calling anyone. Run your home and kick the in-laws out of your family affairs. Stand your ground, call their bluffs and mandate your wife to keep her family people out of your marriage. If symptoms persist after three days consult a marriage counselor.

A fatherly advice. But will the careless talker adhere to it?

He is the GOAT, regardless.

SultanOfAbia:
As an Igbo guy I was insulted by my brothers sisters even my own parents were mad at me for supporting Tinubu.

When I said Tinubu is greater than ojukwu, my popsi almost nod me
But no mater what I will Always love asiwaju for life..
I too love Tinubu and sometimes I wish I was Yoruba. Honestly igbos are childish, emotional and reason like 2 year olds
Just look at ohaneze.

My point is I have been the happiest Igbo man ever since Asiwaju Bola Tinubu won the election.

As for Peter obi, he is very foolish man
He seriously fall my hand.
MAking himself look like a clown going to tribunal everyday, he should stop dreaming And accept he lost.

Mumu write up

Perfecting his reinstallation as emir. Power is really transient. Sanusi and Kwankwaso will deal with Ganduje ehn

Nigerian prisons can even make you forget how your wife looks like.

How much did they spend on the half-line?

Whether Chukkol o or Chukwudi o. Make him chairman well o.

Supreme court follow elected governors dey talk too.

From an online nonentity.




I stamp your stupidity with Obi-dot tears.

You are one of Tinubu's biggest problems. You the exact opposite of the word progressive which he preaches.

LegendHero:
Even before Peter Obi come into the scene, Igbos never hid their hatred for Tinubu and even Kanu had to instruct his disciples to burn Tinubu property and go after him. They have always cursed and abuse Tinubu even before 2015 let alone 2023 of Peter Obi.

Igbos have shown their hatred for Tinubu ever since it appears he is now against their agenda in Lagos. They want to have a say in Lagos but they believe Tinubu strongness is the hinderance.

No need whitewashing it, Igbo hate Tinubu and it is their right to do that. That you’re trying to link it with Obi only show you don’t know what you are saying.

Did they burn Tinubu's property when Kanu "instructed" them to do so?

Balogunodua:
Igbos only voted Obasanjo because there were two Yorubas on the ballot....

Igbos voted MKO Abiola, a Yoruba when he contested against Bashir Tofa a core Northerner.

What do you say about that?

LegendHero:
You just supported Seun assertion.

That the Igbo even voted Obasanjo in the first term shows they hated Yoruba. Almost 90% of Yoruba voted OBJ in 1999, so if 90% of Igbos voted Obasanjo, does it show they like Yoruba?

Personally, it shouldn’t be termed hate. It’s just that both Igbo and Yoruba always vote against each other’s interest and it’s normal. We are two different people and we can do what we want. We ALWAYS do that. No tribe should feign righteousness. Even the OBJ Igbo voted was because they have no other option. If there is another tribe in the picture that they are sure have a chance of winning, they will still vote him against Obasanjo. Infact if the Yoruba had voted OBJ in that election, Igbos would have voted Falae in their millions.

I just hate it when I see some Igbos using Obasanjo as an analogy that they love Yoruba. Hell no, that man OBJ is a mistake and the Yorubas never wanted him just like Igbos never wanted Okorocha and etc. It shouldn’t be so hard to understand.

Wrong again! Did the Igbos not vote for MKO in 1993 when he contested against Bashir Tofa, a core Northerner? Look your assertion that Igbos and Yorubas normally vote against themselves is very wrong. The Igbos normally vote for who protects their interest no matter where you are coming from. The Yorubas even voted for Olu Falae against Obasanjo in 1999, Obasanjo was delivered by the rest of Nigerians, including the Igbos. Like you said, no ill intentions, but understand that the Igbos have never and will never play politics of hatred against anyone, the only thing people imagine is that if they do not support and tell you plain that you do not have their support, a lot of people see it as hatred. Buhari saw the non support of Igbos as hatred, but that is where Tinubu has a strong positive as a progressive. Buhari is never a progressive but Tinubu had to tolerate him for eight years in order to ascend the presidency, which he has finally done.

LegendHero:
Let me tell you this, no politician need to appease to the Igbos because the Igbos only play one-directional politics. They face one way, no matter the circumstances, their votes will always be one way. So why do you need to appease them?

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. It’s very good and I hope the Yorubas can think like that too in our voting pattern but it just seems we and the Igbos are totally different people and both method have their advantage and disadvantages.

The Yoruba way of having a distinct mind and ability to vote differently is one of the greatest advantage because it makes politicians appease the Yorubas. You will have a mind that, this people might vote me and they might not. I can appease to 35% of them to vote me and leave the 65% to do what they will do either ways. Jonathan did it in 2011 and did it again in 2015. Atiku did it in 2019 and Atiku/Obi did it in 2023.

Like you said, Tinubu told his comrades that they don’t need to invest too much in campaigning in the SE because he knows there is nothing on earth he can do that will make them vote him. So to him, the SE is useless to his success and when he eventually won, he is not bounded by any fears of SE voting against him in the next election like he would towards the North. Infact he may choose to not construct one single runway in the SE and still win the next election. That is the danger of one-directional voting as a bloc. When you do that, you better succeed coz if not, politicians will see that the voting bloc is useless to them.

The strongest enemy is the one you can’t predict his moves. SE is not a strong enemy to any opposition politician, if not for the SS that always align in some brotherhood to the SE, you guys would have understood some things already about power games.

You got it all wrong. The Igbos do not hate Tinubu, rather Tinubu knows them too well to know that the Igbos do not go back on their words if they promise you their support. Tinubu told his foot soldiers not to bother going to Igboland because he knew they had already made up their minds on Peter Obi. It is either they are with you or they are not. And they will tell you that to your face no matter who you are.

Dotherightthing:
Great piece!

I salute your objectivity

However, I trust Tinubu to do everything within his power to have the Igbos on his side.

And it's very easy to get the Igbos - appointments, appointments, appointments.

In no time, the core north will go against Tinubu based on his policies. The lopsidedness that he will correct won't go well with them.

The south and middle belt will be his saving grace.

It's not appointments that gets the Igbos by your side as a Nigerian president. It is how far you go in healing the wounds of the past. You just need to make them feel wanted in the Nigeria project. Anything aside from that, you are in for a long tortuous journey in your presidency. The Igbos don't kowtow to anyone. You can count on them if they promise you their support. They don't pretend to like you if you begin your government by marginalizing them. Tinubu's government is just a few days old so they are waiting to see where he leans. That will determine how his government fares in the next four years except the courts say that Peter Obi is the rightful winner of the last election.

I tend to agree with you on most of the things you wrote, but I still see Tinubu trying to do everything possible to get the Igbos on his side because he knows that if they oppose him the way they did Buhari, he may spend the next four years trying to put his feet on the ground. Take it or leave it, you cannot govern Nigeria successfully by ignoring the Igbos or fighting with them. You will end up praying for your tenure to end quicker than you thought just like Buhari.

You don use style break up with am nah. You still come dey shout I no want break up with am.
