We must hold ourselves to a higher standard my brother. Either way, I like what I saw yesterday. The SE and SS as a solid voting bloc is a formidable power that can counterweight the political power in the North. This changes the political landscape of Nigeria for future generations.

SS + SE = Powerful voting bloc

Include the Middle Belt, and we have an unstoppable force.

EzeUche:
Why this thread Obiagu?

Yes, there was low voter turnout in the SW, but that does not mean we Igbos did it alone for GEJ.

It was a collective effort done by all Southerners and the Middle Belt.

well for those igbos who are still deluded , that ika is igbo or that ika will go with  igbo in times of critical decisions should wake up and admit the truth , i have challenged any person to mention one ika king that is a member of ohaneze ndi igbo ? and you all know the answer ,none is a member .
2. please stop deceiving your self , kingship is a very recent event in igbo history ,and the type of kingship operated in ika land is very different from the one operated in igbo communities , can you simply tell me how old the kingship in abiriba or whatever community you claim ? the one most igbos will mention is nri or igbo uku , and it has ended long time ago and it is not even the type or concept of kingship that we have, nri  is a priestly kingship. the only kingship that is near the type of proper monarchy practiced is onitcha and we know why it is because of benin influence.
  3. compare agbor , abavo, owa, umunede, ute-okpu  kingship that has spanned almost 1,000 years . compare it with any igbo kingdom, and how many kingdoms did the whole of igboland have ? many of you dont even know what constitues a kingdom , you equate a town with kingship, and the federal government have really tried for igbos , they have created many kingdoms for you with igwes this and that . you think royalty is gotten by money , any rich man becomes king. a son will be a king and the father will be a chief , that cannever happen  in ika land.
4. for your information i am a bonafide ika person whose family lineage can be traced to  the thirteenth century ,we are not new commers like some people whose family line in ika is only 200 years, i am a descendant of the great owa king , obi igbedigi ,who uses the blood of other kings to wash his leg, my ancestor was a giant amongst men and one of the people that helped develop owa kingdom .i am of the royal blood line of owa king , and a member of idumu-ezomor royal village in owa -oyibu , headquarters of owa kingdom, i am a descendant of prince omigie and osuhon.so  i know my history , thoes who dont know theirs should buzz off.
5.  the vast majority of our people know that they are ika people ,while some tiny few believe they are igbos that is their right, and they are usually ika people from igbodo or ekwuoma ,these are communities that are at the eastern fringe of ika land and near aniocha areas ,so we can understand them they also speak ika language and aniocha language .but you will never see a core ika person like my self or others from agbor, abavo, igbanke , owa, umunede , idumuesah and others claiming that they are igbos.
     i am a proud ika son with a proud ancestory ,and i  remain ika.those who dont like it should  buzz off.
6. if you claim ,i am making up the story , why is prince nduka obaigbena an owa prince always telling the world he is an ika person ,why does he not tell the world he is igbo. the interview he granted to newyork times last year ,he described himself as an ika man from a minority tribe in nigeria. am  i  still making it up, why is chief fortune ebie ,the head of ika socio-cultural organisation ,saying he is ika, he is almost 80 years old and he was the first nigerian director of survey after the british or am i making that up?
7. my advice to most igbos is that they should be very careful of making ungarded assumptions that this tribe is igbo ,without asking the people ,because in times of critical moment they will shock and abandon you .
8. let me remind you that ika is a seperate ethnic group and we have in no time in history aligned with igbos, we always take decision and never will any proper ika person want to follow any igbo person, even if nigeria is to split in pieces ,God forbid that ikas will not follow igbos.

Bankole fell in Ogun state which is a PDP state with a PDP governor.

Ogun state governor  = ACN governor?

Oyo state governor = ACN governorship?

Like I said, you GEJ umblerra people are very clueless and ignorant, you don't even know your own states,

You are democratic, 1 week after the election, you are still fighting each other over rigged elections with no results. Is this your warped interpretation of democracy?   Do you people even evaluate your rubbish before you spew them? It's not by force to sound clueless and ignorant

As for the rest of your rubbish, I dare not waste my time on such worthless and ignorant crap.

Eko Ile:
That's the difference between us. We know right from wrong.

We got rid of them and they gently conceded and walked away because their people spoke with their votes. Unlike what you have in your backyard.

ekt_bear:
@Chyz: I'm fine with Nigeria breaking up. If we cannot avoid having rigged elections and the people are denied their right to show their displeasure with the FG, then perhaps it is best if it does.

Not too worried about having the UN peacekeepers leave afterwards. . . those missions tend to be expensive and they aren't too keen on staying indefinitely

yarodin:
Nna men, your statement above has said it all. Some of these Yoruba people keeping shouting about how relevant they are in Naija politics, but all I have seen is their new political leader Tinibu running from one end of the country to the other looking for favours. They said Ribadu, then it was Buhari, now they running to Jonathan to promise them some Govt positions. That to me spells out POLITICAL ASHI.

ekt_bear:
I think next election, ACN needs to see if they can have UN peacekeepers supervise elections in the SW

Would greatly reduce the chance of PDP rigging

bashr4:
yoruba don rule tire? pls return to earth, you didnt smell power since 1967 until the same igbo man came and endorsed obasanjo. my question is how come you were schemed out of power for over 40 years ? i thought you were supposed to share the spoils of war with the north? ungrateful people, i dont mind another minority getting the presidency as long as economy and situation of nigerian people imporves.

jason123:
LOL. Welcome back bro.

jason123:
I thought people said it's only Hausas and Yorubas that like oil? I guess Igbos like Oil too . . .
EVERY GROUP IN THE SO-CALLED WAZOBIA LIKES THE OIL FROM THE ND.

jason123:
Daft as usual. . . .

jason123:
That's a lie.

tpiah!:
wasnt it his grandfather who migrated to lagos?

he should be a lagosian by now.

tpiah!:
yeah right. Only occasionally anyway.

how's the wife and cute kids.

tpiah!:
^was i addressing you?

or are you AA.

tpiah!:
^^hello, my question was for the op.

many AAs look somali and vice versa.

ekt_bear:
PDP will have a strict majority, so unfortunately he cannot be Senate President unless he decamps to PDP.

If Buhari wins though and enough PDP senate members defect to the CPC (probably likely at least for the northern senators) to give the ACN/CPC a majority, then perhaps he can get that slot.

jason123:
Exactly brother. If we can have Hausa-Fulani, why cant we have Yoruba-Igbo Can you see that this divide and rule mechanism is killing us, southerners. The NC are afraid of the North, they want to unite with the south. All we need to do first, is to unite the South. Especially Yoruba and Igbo, politically. Once that is done, the SS will follow automatically. By this, we have move the batle ground from the South to the middle belt, If this can be done, our (southern) agenda of progress, religious tolerance and education can be mainstream in Nigeria. The so called North, will have no choice be to follow the progressive ways while the Northern cabal that has impoverished the youths (almajiris) for their manipulations will be relegated to the background.

Our Ideologies will be mainstream. The south has always been for federalism. That will be implemented. If not, a better system will be used to prevent marginalisation of the minorities in the south and north.

jason123:
The south should unite with the middle belt, politically!!!! That way, we will be stronger!!!
