ThEGodFaThEr101:If Peter Obi could contest against Osinbajo in 2019, then Tinubu too is free to run for the presidency against an Indigbo candidate. So, you guys were not greedy when Peter Obi challenged Osinbajo. Hypocrites, that is who you people are. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:Stop condemning Tinubu too and listen to us the Yoruba. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:How has this transformed the south east as a great hub for all Nigerians? Onitsha, Aba and Inewi are Igbo enclaves meant only for the Igbo. Kindly display data of other Nigerians apart from the Igbo that running successful businesses in the south east. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:What are the economic opportunities in the south east? |
MASTAkiLLAh:I hope you are not out to embarrass yourself and your people. As at today the region with the highest number of drug pushers is the south east. That means the drug barons in the south east will be too many to mention. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:Can you show me the graphics of Yoruba migration to the east compared to that of the Igbo migrating to the west? |
candidtalk:According to the Igbo, Yoruba politicians are bad while their Igbo counterparts are saints. This is despite not showcasing the performance of their so-called politicians who they are striving to sell to gullible Yoruba. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:Who created and are still creating the environment for all Lagosians to thrive? Yoruba, of course, as represented by Tinubu. If your claim is true, the east should be the most prosperous and developed part of Nigeria. |
candidtalk:Tinubu is the best so far when it comes to giving a sense of belonging to everyone in Lagos in terms of politics. Yet these people will not let him be. Now there is Igbo APC in Lagos, championing Igbo interest. They never see themselves as Lagosians, unlike the Ibibio, Ijaw, Bini and other southern peoples that are Lagosians like Egba, Ekiti, Oyo, and other sub-Yoruba groups that believe in one Lagos. Imagine having Ibadan APC, Abeokuta APC or Ijebu APC in Lagos as there is Indigbo APC. They are too sectional and have domineering attitudes. |
walexbiz:Kindly suggest one good politician that is better than Tinubu and roll out their achievements for the world to see. |
ThEGodFaThEr101: |
ThEGodFaThEr101:I disagree with you on this. Your politicians are tin gods that can do no wrong. Your political history is rooted in ethnicity and expansionist agenda. You are all out condemning Tinubu while Kalu is being shielded. Most of the developments in Lagos were initiatives of Tinubu and his party. Tinubu has no history of persecuting Igbo, yet you guys are always on his neck. The fact is Tinubu has secured Lagos against money bags such that you guys cannot influence Lagos politics. You have no claim over the electoral victory of his party. You envy him and his political achievements. You are fixated on taking over Yoruba cities which Tinubu is resisting. You are frustrated. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:We are aware of your ulterior motive for condemning our political leaders while you keep your corrupt politicians out of public scrutiny. Using Southern unity as a ruse to control our political space shall not be accepted. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:Those who killed our own Akintola but hid away their own Azikwe should not interfere in our political affairs. The social-political crisis you are highlighting were precipitated by your forebears who truncated democracy for the first time in Nigeria. We shall resolve all the crisis bedeviling our land with time. We do not want you to dictate who should be our political representatives. Leave that for us. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:It is where the most prosperous and enlightened among you reside. The place that has saved millions of your brethren from hunger and destitution. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:The offspring of the ingrate. Show the world a good politician from the land of the economic immigrants. |
The dangerous and insecure position Nigeria finds itself today is rooted in the unrealistic belief that only strong men can hold political offices in Nigeria. Rather than allow institutions to control and check individual political office holders, it is unfortunate that politicians are the ones manipulating all organs of state for their selfish interest. The consequences can be summed up in Buhari. The so-called savior many Nigerians were anxiously waiting to make Nigeria great, safe and prosperous. Weather Buhari has been able to meet the expectations of Nigerians is written in the happenings in the country. Democracy is hijacked and devalued with Buhari's presidency. All this has been made possible because Buhari is a strong and powerful man that is assumed to have power over every institution that constitutes government. And most state governors are also little Buharis in power : they are exercising ablosute power in their respective states. It is dictatorship with a veil of democracy. However, Lagos State state is an exception to the rule. The APC in Lagos State has killed Godfatherism ; no individual can withstand the power of APC machinery in the state. This is the genesis of the hatred towards Tinubu. Political offices are not hijacked by money bags in Lagos State because the party is firmly established and in control. A candidate for an elective office is sponsored by the party. This ensures loyalty to the party. This contrasts sharply with the process adopted in other states where political merchants are in charge. These political contractors are the ones rising up against Tinubu and instigating people against him. They are far worse than Tinubu and have nothing to offer. Tinubu, rather than been a godfather, has to the delight of the progressives killed and destroyed Godfatherism. |
Vistra40:Yes, I agree with you - the east is comfortable in an alliance with the north than with the southwest. Herein lies the crisis of confidence between the Igbo and the Yoruba. |
Bulleye:Super citizens determine who get what while slave citizens are those that cannot enforce their rights. |
LukasPodolski:We should avoid creating super citizens and slave citizens. |
LukasPodolski:The presidency belongs to Nigeria and should not be appropriated by a section. Rotating it will make it easy for all Nigerians to be free to occupy it. |
LukasPodolski:That the presidency is not the exclusive right of some section of the country. Every Nigerian has a right to aspire to any political office in the land. The late MKO Abiola died for this very purpose. Hence why we have June 12 as public holiday. |
LukasPodolski:No, it is no gang up. There should be sense of belonging to everyone. |
LukasPodolski:To engender bond and respect and play by the rule. |
LukasPodolski:It means mutual understanding and agreement. |
On October 12, 2018, Peter Obi was named as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party's Presidential Candidate in the Nigerian 2019 Presidential elections. Peter Obi is Igbo. The post of the vice presidential candidate was being occupied by a Yoruba, Yemi Osinbajo in the All Progressive Party. In the spirit of Southern unity, the PDP should have fielded a Yoruba candidate as its vice presidential candidate. However, the Igbo political class would have none of that. Osinbajo and Obi fought it out at the polls. Same scenario is about to be played out in the 2023 presidential election. However, the Igbo are about to be in the position the Yoruba found themselves in 2019: Tinubu may emerge as the presidential candidate of APC or any other party that may field him in 2023 should he show interest to contest. At the same time, an Igbo presidential candidate may also emerge on the platform of another political party. When Peter Obi contested against Yemi Osinbajo, the Yoruba did not see it as betrayal on the part of the Igbo. Likewise the Igbo should accept Tinubu's candidacy in good faith should he declare his intention to contest in the presidential race in 2023. |
The Kankara kidnap saga, in which over three hundred school boys were rounded up by terrorists - bandits or Boko Haram - in Katsina state has jolted us from our sleep. It is a sad reminder that the Insecurity confronting the country is far from over. However, the most dangerous dimension added to the Insecurity challenge bedeviling the country is the infamous and disturbing role the Miyetti Allah played in securing the release of the boys. How did Miyetti Allah suddenly abandon cattle rearing for ransom negotiations with kidnappers? Why did the defense headquarters has to come out to trade words with Miyetti Allah? We should all feel concerned when non-state actors are taking over the role of state machinery. With Miyetti Allah openly taking credit for negotiations with terrorists, Nigeria is in serious mess. Buhari has proved once again that the Miyetti Allah are part and parcel of Aso Rock by involving them in the whole drama. This is a dangerous predent and a red flag that a section of the country has hijacked power to the exclusion of the rest. |
Seyi Makinde is right. The presidency has never helped the ethnic nationality whose person is occupying Aso Rock. The Hausa-Fulani in the north are in the best position to educate the rest of the country on this ; they would trade the presidency for security should the opportunity arise. |
