LIke Abiola would have offered us anything really different. Abegi!!!

ChinenyeN:
I wonder what I did wrong to deserve such treatment from people who want to call me "Igbo", but yet, treat me like an Ijo. . .

ezeagu:
Why not? How big is Enugu compared to that map? Ngwa is half the size of Abia.

Aloy+Emeka:
So you must return tribal fire for fire?

seanet02:

Dawgpound:

One cannot claim access to sea without having any visible seafaring culture. . . we would know progress is being made when that most agrarian of societies, the Ikwerre are transformed into a society of aquaphiles. . . . I recommend that Ikwerre men start fishing in Abonnema wharf as the first step toward building a minutely plausible argument.

I'm concerned because you guys, collectively, have an inferiority complex. If what you people come online to do is representative of the Igbo psyche, then there's a problem. Seriously, no other tribe is like this on Nairaland.

Take the Igbo-bashing a lot of you were whining about few weeks ago, most of those guys most times do that stuff just for sport. There are very few real 'hate-mongers' here on Nairaland, but when you guys keep on and on like in this thread for example, someone like me will be tempted into goading you people cause you're so predictable & reactionary.

You need to grow, mostly. & the old men among you need to get a life.

THE AMAKA:
and this belongs in the politics section because?
tomorrow he will be crying "wolf"

ziddy:
^^^^

Another Igbo supremacy thread.

How many Nigerian tribes do you people see going on and on like this on the forum, or elsewhere on the internet. But when they start bashing you people you'll start screaming wolf! You guys don't get tired.

This is closer to the real map:

ezeagu:
The map is generous to the Igbo because it gives a lot of Kalabari land to them, eating up towns such as Abonnema, Degema and co. The truth is that Igboland south stops right underneath Port Harcourt. The other parts of the map are correct, maybe apart from the crossing of the boundary over River Benue. If there was ever an Igbo country and Ijaw country, the Igbo would have to ask permission and sort out a deal to use their Bonny River because Port Harcourt isn't directly connected to the Atlantic.

I like Ribadu very well, but I can state categorically that the possibility of a Ribadu Victory on an AC ticket is very slim.

Lets do an analysis with the Assumption that the four main candidates are Jonathan, Ribadu, Babangida and Buhari.

Jonathan
Jonathan would sweep the South South, South East and a fairly sized portion of the Middle belt. He will also garner maybe half of the South West votes.
Jonathan also has the advantage of PDP's wide reach which covers the length and breadth of Nigeria. There is also more tha enough money from so many political investors to bankroll Jonathan.

Ribadu
Ribadu would share a good amount of votes in the South West with Jonathan. He will also take snippets from the middle belt. The south east and south south will give him very few votes. He will perform poorly in the core north maybe something like 20%. Most core northerners percieve Ribadu as a southern stooge and they still see him as OBJ's boy. Also, politicians who have stolen money from all parts of the country would not support Ribadu. Other factors that would work against Ribadu is spread and money. AC doesn't have offices outside the southwest except in Edo state. You cannot build structures overnight. Secondly, AC and its politicians don't have the money to expend and in Nigeria politics is money.

Babangida
Babangida, assuming he decides to run on another party, would gather a coupl of states in the Core North and middle belt. He will also get a few votes here and there accross the country. It surely wouldn't be enough for him to get the election. However, if Jonathan doesn't run and he gets the PDP ticket, he will get a chunk of the votes in the middle belt and a fair amount spread accross the country.

Buhari
Buhari will sweep the core north. He will get almost no votes in the south south and south east and very few votes in the south west. He isn't popular in the south and his part has zilch structures!

From all indications, in a free and fair election, Jonathan has the very best shot at winning. Sad thing is that if Ribadu contests against Jonathan and loses, he will lose political relevance completely in Nigeria and that would be very sad because he has so much to offer.
Also with Ribadu in the race, it can lead to something like a re-run as Jonathan might not easily cover the required percentage victory in at least 24 states.

the origin of the yorubas people is not controversial , yorubas are children of oduduwa. we know our fathers name. And Oduduwa father names was lamurudu.

The people you call western igbo are not igbo, their root is benin. They were just influence by igbos during slavery. The igbos use to attack the place and made them slave.

odumchi:
You people are taking this thing too seriously. I have just been wondering about this and I am speaking my mind. I know Nigerian history and I know what happened there. I did not make this topic for all of you to gang up on me I am speaking my mind and if you dont like it then cuttof your ears.

ugoani:
