Lol! What analysis? You possess no analytical skill. You are incapable of analysis.

None of those people are chanting for the imprisonment of Biafrans and execution of Kanu. Neither are they cursing Biafra or looking for cheap blackmail built on lies to sell their one Nigerian project.
Neither are they condemning the FG for Kanu's detention nor visiting Kanu in prison as Kalu did.
Of course it takes a person with analytical skills to recognize another. Not with your incoherence and inconsistency here.
If those people were truly for Biafra they would not have in the first instance served in the one Nigeria government that has been killing Biafrans all these years.

It had nothing to do with principled resistance or whatsoever. Tinubu and co delivered SW to PDP in 2011 because of same voters apathy in SW in 2011 as had been in SE in 1999.
You are deluded. SW voted for GEJ in the belief that he, as someone from the region hardest hit by the faulty structure, would have no reason not to restructure. That was still more about principled and genuine issues-based voting as neither GEJ nor Sambo was Yoruba. But for Igbos, no matter the issue at stake, they would not vote if the joint ticket is totally devoid of the Igbo/Arewa component.

Why exactly should they boycott the election? In protest to what?
I thought it was you that said you had no stake in it since it was an all Yoruba affair?
No! You can't rig elections where there are many vested interests, it's hard to without chaos! You rig elections where you are popular or where the people don't care, as was in Igboland during OBJ vs Falae!
You have as well earlier on claimed that 2003 election was rigged in the Middle East. However, the fact that Ojukwu got rigged out (according to you) despite his popularity and the peoples’ care for him stands as a contradiction to your hypothesis above. Can you see how incoherent you are?
Talking of rigging for OBJ in Igbo land as of then would suggest that Igbos would have preferred to vote Falae ( thus a regional Yoruba party) if not for rigging. But the truth is that Igbos would never have voted for Falae. Rigging or no rigging they preferred OBJ being the face of the North.

AD was nothing but a regional ( Yoruba) party. So I don't know the ideology you speak of.
AD was a political metamorphosis of the NADECO group which fought military rule to a standstill. It was the only party to present a manifesto. Of course it appered regional in the eyes of Igbos because they never joined the fight against military rule but sided with Abacha in their usual gravitation toward Arewa. However Chukwuemeka Ezeife’s membership and Tanko Yusuf’s chairmanship of the party punctures your regionalism claim.

Below was the AD’s manifesto https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.nigeria/fsr7Asg93zM
Show me PDP’s.

The coalition between NPP and NPN was formed after elections when NPN failed to capture Kano and Kaduna and so couldn't get the majority needed in the NASS to form the majority. It had to go into coalition with NPP, that finished third. And in the process had to concede the Speaker of house to NPP.
So yes, we had to pick the winner.
Ekweme was given over to Shagari by Zik before the election. It was not like the parliamentary system where alliances had to be made post-election. It was rather the presidential type in which alliances must be pre-election. So your aligning-with-the-winner theory above is bunkum.

Lol! NPP strong holds were the North and East. Picking a Northern VP was a pragmatic approach. Moreover, which Yoruba man was ever going to leave Awolowo their cult hero and vote for Zik?
Are Yorubas like Igbos who in 2003 abandoned their own cult hero for a Yoruba man who had murdered them in thousands 30 years before then? If Igbos choose to be stupid and forgetful how is that supposed to be the fault of Yorubas?
NPP having strongholds in the North was a testimonial to the endurance of the Biafra-Arewa coalition from the first republic.

I doubt if that much Igbos were in Ibadan as of then. I can't speak for Hausas. Either way, 10% of the vote is too much for a rival to get in the region of his rival, considering the ethno- regional politics of Nigeria. You can now imagine how outrageous that 40% Buhari got from Edo is.
This is once more coming after having earlier said that there were already many Igbos in the West hence their domination of NCNC. However history shows that even before 1900 Igbos were already scattered among other peoples in very large numbers. For example Zik was born in Zungerua, Nger State, Ojukwu too the same Zungeru, Michael Okpara – Keffi in todays Nassarawa; meaning that their parents had moved to settle in the North before amalgamation. On the contrary Awolowo and Enahoro were both born in their home towns of Ikenne and Uromi meaning their parents lived at home. So cut this crap of Igbos.
Considering the allegation that Buhari committed genocide on Igbos during the war, as narrated by the Igbos themelves, the 20% from Imo is more outrageous than Edo’s 40% where he did not kill a fly during the war.
Ojukwu was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but for your sake he chose to be poor and to die poor, he accepted being villified, he stuck his head out to fight for you people, despite being a brilliant Oxford University graduate who, in a Nigeria without a history of war, would have been a powerful political force to reckon with, his intellectual inferiors in the army became military presidents and also later became civilian presidents - a position he deserved more than them, yet he accepted all that humiliation and underachievement as worth the fight to free you people from the grip of one Nigeria. Ironically that man contested an election and right in his own region and among the very people for whom he suffered all these self denials and lost to a Yoruba man who represented the interest of the very Hausa-Fulani who chased him out of Nigeria and would have hanged him to death had they laid their hands on him. Unfortunately a misguided hypocrite here whose brothers gave as much as 20% to one of those who attempted to murder the man who so sacrificed himself for them is here having sleepless nights over Edo's for giving as much 60% and not 100% to a Jonathan who, though was from the SS; made no single sacrifice to fight the SS thus Edo battles, enriched and honoured with awards of Nation Building Accolades the very Hausa-Fulanis who killed his own brothers and other SS peoples and impoverished the SS including Edo lands with oil pollution continuously for decades; voted one-eight of an entire budget to develop a region of those who repeatedly committed Genocides against his own SS brothers of Odi, Ogoni, Gbaramatu and Oporoza, etc while people in Edo's and other SS states's oil producing communities continued schooling under trees, practically drinking crude oil as water, etc.
In fact there is no basis at all for comparison.
The 20% from Imo for Buhari remains far more outrageous than Edo's 40% considering the fact that Buhari has no genocidal records in Edo or any part of the SS while the SE accuses him of war crimes.

More like they went into Coalition with a Military dictator government( let's not forget that), because they are confused treacherous fellows who are power hungry, and hence unstable.
That would explain why they went into Coalition with a Northern dictatorship.

Anyway. This is another myth busted. Before now, the news was that it was Biafran March to Ore that forced Edo and Yorubas to gang up with Gowon. But I had always maintained that Edos and Yorubas were with Gowon from day one,running after misguided vendetta and the lure of outsmarting the Khaki boys in future, and grab the number one power in Nigeria.

Little wonder someone committed suicide when it all fell apart. It must have hurt so bad.
And the Zik who first came into the UPGA, abandoned them again in it for the Arewa controlled NNA was stable and free of treachery? The truth is that Igbos can’t tolerate what they enjoy doing to others. When you pay them back in their own coin they term you a traitor. Which tribe have they not termed traitors in Nigeria? Even Donald Trump who did not enter into agreement with them over Biafra, they later termed a traitor when he appointed a Yoruba man into his cabinet. Igbos don’t know what defines an agreement. They assume that an appearance of similar objectives with others automatically translates to agreement to fight together. It was the same way they supported Akintola and the North when he appeared to share the same Anti-Awolowo sentiments with them only for them to later painfully realize that the objective behind Akintola’s resistance to Awolowo was actually aimed at dislodging Igbos from their alliance with the Arewa.
By the way one keeps wondering who ever went into any accord with them about the war or Aburi Accord to warrant the accusation of betrayal. Igbos are the real traitors in Nigeria and that is why nemesis is against them.
Of course the invasion of Ore was part of the whole thing. Despite having colluded with Arewa to persecute fellow southerners, they again invaded their territories without any negotiation or apology. Who would fold his arms and watch such aggressive and undiplomatic fellows?

I fail to see how that quote said anything about using force to coerce Yorubas/ Edos into Nigerian project. That quote was talking more about freedom from the colonial powers.
You are simply over reaching again. I'm yet to verify parts of that post as your links are not opening. But it's known in history that Igbos are not expansionists and had never carried out large scale war of expansionism against neighboring groups.
Even despite seeing his use of the word “conquer” and the expression …….”will not shirk in her responsibility”? Ha ha!

Another dimension to this discussion. Not that it changes the fact that opposition of the secession clause doesn't equate to prevention of secession. But it's still important to note this angle.

Was NCNC an ethnic party? Were there no non Igbos like Yorubas and Eastern minorities in NCNC as of 1953-54?
I know that Mbu was not Igbo and that NCNC had many Yoruba henchmen those days.
Was the rejection of the secession clause an NCNC policy or an Igbo policy? Were Yoruba and other non Igbo members of NCNC not in support of the party policy on secession clause as articulated and argued by Zik.

Here is a direct quote from Zik:
"I have invited you to attend this caucus because I
would like you to make clear our stand on the
issue of secession. As a party, we would have
preferred Nigeria to remain intact, but lest there be
doubt as to our willingness to concede to any
shade of political opinion the right to determine its
policy, I am obliged to issue a solemn warning to
those who are goading the North towards
secession. If you agree with my views, then I hope
that in course of our deliberations tonight, you will
endorse them, to enable me to publicize them in
the Press.
In my opinion, the Northerners are perfectly
entitled
to consider whether or not they should secede from
the indissoluble union which nature has formed
between it and the South, but it would be
calamitous to the corporate existence of the North
should the clamour for secession prevail. I,
therefore, counsel Northern leaders to weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of secession before
embarking upon this dangerous course". ~ Zik


Notice the words Zik used, "AS A PARTY". He never said AS AN ETHNIC group. seeing as NCNC was a multiethnic group.
Were Yorubas majority in NCNC to have had the numbers to effectively oppose Zik’s and Igbos’ resistance to Secession? Anti-secession stance was an Igbo agenda which the Igbo dominated NCNC was found as a veritable tool to prosecute.

So I demand a direct quote from Zik or this Tamuno opinion will be thrown into the trash as his opinion and nothing less or more.

For example, see a direct quote from Zik:

"In 1953 the NPC under the leadership
of my good friend, the late Sardauna, threatened
to secede from the federation unless their 6-point
proposals were adhered to. I had to use personal
diplomacy. We had been personal friends since
1940". ~ Zik.

Notice the use of diplomacy there.
That was the same time he relied on British threats to force AG into submission.
Show me a quote where he explained his use of diplomacy to dissuade the AG proponents of secession clause before I’ll accept that he truly believed in diplomacy.

No, many Ijaw elements were not neutral in 1970, it was the height of Nigeria FG induced Igbophobia in Ijawland, following the abandoned property saga in 1970. No Nigerian tribe was neutral towards the Igbos in 1970.
Igbos prevention of Ijaw secession was a background to the Igbophobia. If Ojukwu had not stopped Boro, the FG would not have succeeded in “brainwashing” them. And don’t forget that the Igbophobia of Ijaws predated 1970 and founded on the Igbo oppression they suffered in the old Eastern Region.

Those were Tamuno words and opinions, no matter how much you quote them, they don't turn to facts.
They remain facts no matter how much you reject them.

Post direct quote of interview where Zik threatened to forcefully coerce Western region into Nigeria, it's as simple as that. Stop beating round the Bush!
You have been shown where Zik allowed himself to enjoy British forceful back up against the freedom of other tribes. Why still asking for a quote? Are actions not supposed to be louder than words?

Well, there are many Biafrans of SS origin.

Who are Igbos to talk about GEJ presidency? Well I'd let GEJ answer that question: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/jonathan-
igbos-remain-pillar-of-my-govt/160312/
Igbos support for GEJ was for their own calculations against future presidency in 2019 and not necessarily for the SS’ interest. Hear what a prominent Igbo man said in that gathering:
“Gary Igariwey, foreclosed the
possibility of an Igbo occupying the
presidency of the country by 2015, saying
Ndigbo could only aspire for the plum job
when President Goodluck Jonathan or any
other South-southerner would have served
out his eight-year unbroken rule.”
Again Jonathan knew that the Igbos are given to flattery hence he deployed it there. Hear a Northerner whose recently flattery Igbos fell for despite having been calling Northerners demons:
https://www.nairaland.com/3684559/azikiwe-nkrumah-hall-oldest-building-lincoln/2#54651221 Check page 2.

Yes! Ijaws alone couldn't have made GEJ the president, but they could have done with all the vote they could get, and a supposedly SS state giving 40% of her vote to GEJ bitter rival certainly didn't help their cause, especially when you factor in the fact that REAL SS states were all pulling over 70% of votes for the SS presidential candidate.
Even Ijaws themselves were becoming already disillusioned about GEJ’s presidency. Today the SS state which gave as much as 40℅ is vindicated as the government of the day has taken concrete steps to fundamentally address economic bondage which Ijaws have suffered unlike the son of the soil whose only concern was having his 8 years.

Don't come here to hide behind SS tag and claim to speak for a group you share nothing with. Even geopolitical zones are not recognized by Nigerian constitution, Abacha died before he could do that.
SS has come to stay. You can die in miserable envy. Even though we the SS people actually share a lot in common, our bond is beyond cultural similarities. How truly united are the Middle easterners with all their assumed cultural homeogeneity? Kanu and Uwazurike are fighting the same course yet are at loggerheads. In the 2014 confab the Ebonyi delegates refused to support the recognition of the current regions as federating units due to fear of being dominated by their own supposed brothers in the region. It is indeed a shame!

Geopolitical zones in Nigeria serve their purpose, after all, Ekwueme was amongst those who campaigned for it, but tribal allegiances will always trump everything else.
Without prejudice to the fact that these regions were created by IBB one would wonder why Ekweme campaigned for it and got it but ended up watching while the so-called Igboids were being carved away from his own supposed SE into what you yourself call an artificial creation for unrelated tribes. Yet ignore Ekweme and accuse Edo of it. Can’t you see you are sick?

I'm not angry about Edo, I'm just pointing the facts. It's too bad they are too distasteful for you to swallow.
It is written all over you that you are Edophobic and paranoid about Edo. Your hero, Ojukwu invaded Edo and tried to annex her to Biafra but Edo extricated herself and that is why you so much hate the people. You know that to Igbos, you are good and kind provided you allow them dominate you and declare your land a no man’s land.

I'm an Anambra man, go figure!
Anambra home to Onitsha the city with the world’s worst air thus the dirtiest city in the world https://www.theguardian.com › World › Cities › Pollution
I guess you’ll say the British which wrote the article are Yorubas and Edoids.

Envious? Dude I already have Igbo brothers in SS using Edo to scrub the ground their in terms of political clout and federal appointments in the region.
And who are they? No names? Your supposed Igboid brothers in the SS who are not comfortable with the Igbo tag?

Edo decamping members don't make news headlines because let's face it, who cares? The Igbo news are always more of bestsellers to the Nigerian populace looking to vilify the Igbo at the drop of a hat.
He he he he …….! After searching online and finding no prominent one you decide to take solace this way.

See Edo politicians decamping too: https://politics.naij.com/417682-osunbor-explains-why-he-joins-apc.html
Osunbor defected to APC like 18 months before Buhari’s presidency against the likes of Kalu, Chime, Nwobodo, Andy Ubah, Nnamani who dumped PDP after the party lost at the centre. That is the difference which I earlier called principled politicking. And in any case Osunbor has no EFCC issue on his neck.
https://politics.naij.com/708695-pdp-suffers-yet-another-setback-prominent-members-defect-apc-edo.html
The guy in the story here is an LGA party leader and not a nationally recognized PDP chieftain.
So far you have not been able to show a prominent Edo PDP chieftain who dumped PDP after the party lost at the centre.

Anyway, the current bunch of Nigerian politicians are all corrupt, so yes, they were all running away from EFCC, since APC had been declared a gathering of saints and rival party members not currently enjoying immunity that comes with elective posts had been declared fair game and then hunted mercilessly as an exhibition to gullible cheering Nigerian populace, in the APC fight against corruption, they( politicians from rival parties) had all decided to cross over to the righteous side of APC to safeguard their loot and keep their image intact.
Just like how your likes cheered OBJ while he did it in favour of PDP politicians.
You mean Ken Nnamani, Nwobodo and Ekwunife too defected to APC to escape EFCC searchlight?
EFCC searchlight had always been on Kalu beginning from his exit from Abia Govt. House, and while at that he had oscillated from one party to the other.
No normal SS person cheered Obasanjo for his dubious anti-corruption war which saw him hounding Ibori, Alams and other SS figures whose real offence against him were their political ambitions against 2007. Only Igbos like you actually cheered him up because the other majority of his targets were members of the ACN which Igbos viewed as a pro-Awolowoism party and therefore welcomed any misfortune that befell them.

Lol! Does Edo really have much prominent politicians in Nigeria.
The Anenih, who bestrode the landscape of your beloved PDP like a colossus is from Edo State. Tom Ikhimi is another. Odigie Oyegun is the national Chairman of APC. In fact during SDP vs NRC, times the two parties’ national chairmen were simultaneously Tony Anenih and Tom Ikhimi respectively both of whom were from Edo.
Only Edo State has set this record of simultaneously producing the national chairmen of the two biggest parties in Nigeria's history, yet a deluded punk like you claim Edo does not have prominent politicians. Then what does "prominent" mean?
Has the entire middle East been able to beat that record despite having five states unlike Edo which is just a single state?

Instead, Edo couldn't resist the Arewa pull, just like Yorubas. Guess somethings never change, huh? 40% votes for an ex military dictator that is from the North? Sounds already like 1967 all over again.
Just like how Igbos could not resist Arewa pull in 1959, 1979, 1999, and are currently trying to replay their usual blind marriage with them in 2019. Imo already is leading the replay of the Arewa-Biafra marriage with 20% commitment. The trend is already spreading across the Middle East as tesitified to by the gale of defections rocking the region.

One can't be asking too much by asking for 70% of votes from a supposedly SS state for a SS presidential candidate, if Imo, a SE state can afford to deliver over 70% of her votes to a SS man, simply because of defunct Eastern region solidarity.
One can’t as well be asking too much for wondering why a state in a region which openly called GEJ their own son gave his mortal enemy whom they accuse of war crimes as much as 20%.

Well, let's also assume that ACN good governance in Imo made the people re elect Rochas, yet Imo people were able to separate regional politics from party politics and individual performance. Hence at presidential level, gave GEJ more than 70% of the votes.
The same folks like you have always argued that Rochas’ re-election was rigged hence he did not really perform. I have heard that argument here on NL repeatedly. So it could be explained that had Rochas performed Buhari would have scored up to 80% in Imo.

What ACN sterling performance do you speak off in
Edo?
You would never know because you are blinded by prejudice and Edophobia. What performance record did your PDP have in Edo?

He won Ekiti too? But like Edo, it was just barely.
Ekiti was a PDP state ironically he won barely. But Edo was an APC state yet he got 60%

No! In 2011, GEJ won SW and NC too. Edo being more of a NC/ SW state politically and geographically just followed suit.
And for the fact that GEJ also won in the Middle East in 2011, then the Middle East also followed suit and became like the SW and NC where GEJ also won.
But in 2015 GEJ lost in the SW and NC yet won in Edo just like every other SS state. You see how stupid you have become in your analysis?

This wasn't same with 2015 elections. Edo is supposed to be part of SS, they are supposed to be brothers to GEJ, yet what we saw in the polls showed the true picture of things. Edo is amphoteric, a true freak of nature, more SW/ NC in orientation and political culture.

Edo believes in solidarity but not to the extent of retaining it when it is no longer justified or sensible to do so. Blind solidarity is more of an Igbo thing. In 2011 when GEJ appeared genuinely concerned about the plight of the SS Edo rose above partisan considerations and gave him bloc votes in solidarity, but four years later when it became clear that he was another Azikiwe, Edo gave it a second thought. But despite Igbos can’t point to any concrete achievement in the whole Middle East, they still stuck to him not even really for solidarity purpose but for the assumption that he would make Biafra possible for them or hand power over to them at the end of his second term. Fools!
And in any case, the 40% Edos who voted for APC on account of GEJ’s refusal to address the SS Question are now being vindicated on a daily basis as the APC-led FG has commenced efforts aimed at genuinely addressing the SS agitations over the years which even GEJ, a son of the soil, refused to attend to. They are: The reclassification of modular refineries, Ogoni Land clean up, Coastal rail line construction, Relocation of oil all companies headquarters to the Niger Delta Region, etc. On the other hand what can really be pointed to as GEJ’s concrete achievement in connection with the SS Question? While children were having classes under trees and people drank water up to 60% polluted with crude oil in SS communities GEJ’s was took as much as N500bn out of a peltry budget of N4.5tn and pumped into building, in the North, Almajiri schools only for Northerners to later discredit and reject them as an attempt towards educational segregation. What is the use of having in power a SS son who actually pandered more to Northern interests than the sufferings of his own people? He abandoned the entire South and Middle Belt which voted for him but spent all his time trying to please the Hausa-Fulanis who did not only vote against him but started killing and burning houses immediately he was declared winner in 2011. And that was the kind of person you wanted Edos to vote for once more and by over 80%? You think Edos are foolish like Igbos? And without prejudice to the rigging that explained the very delayed results of the other SS states, I would let you know that other SSners never pretended about GEJ’s failure to address the fundamental problems of the SS. In fact his most vocal critics within the region were his own Ijaw brothers. Asari Dokubo never missed an opportunity to make it clear that GEJ failed the SS but that his support for him was just about balancing the power equation in Nigeria. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/111270-jonathan-has 0-failed-niger-delta-asari-dokubo.html. A section of Asari Dokubo’s speech reads: “
Monkey no fine, but the mama like am, but when the ugly monkey becomes so rascal, the mother will desert it because if the mother continues to like the monkey in its ugly rascality, she too will die with the ugly monkey, after all she has more than one monkey child…... It is alarming that the SS must have its uninterrupted eight years tenure but with the way things are going under Jonathan’s watch, we are afraid that we may not be able to….”
I guess you’ ll say Dokubo is from SW/NC
Other blunders of Jonathan which turned Edo against him are:
--- his giving of national awards of honour to rogues like IBB who institutionalized corruption; Abacha the murderer of Saro Wiwa his (GEJ’s) own brother; OBJ who ordered genocide in 1999 in Odi in his own Bayelsa home state; etc for what he, GEJ, himself described as their contribution to national building. He ironically ignored the Ken Saro Wiwa who pioneered and got matyred for the fight that made his presidency as a SS man possible as if to say that all Saro Wiwa’s championing of resource control, restructuring and bioremediation of oil polluted areas was an act of nation destruction thus his refusal to honour him with an award let alone raise a national monument in his name. He refused to convoke a confab until Okorounmu and Nwabueze pressured him into it which he reluctantly succumbed to. At a time nearly every one in the SS was getting more enlightened about the structural basis of Nigeria’s failure, Jonathan began to argue that Nigeria’s problem had nothing to with structure but corruption which once killed every other thing would just fall into their places. Also, at a time the Northern military elite establishment of the Katsina Mafia was being suspected of responsibility for the Boko Haram national insecurity GEJ sacked a fellow SSner, Azazi Owoye, as NSA and replaced him with a Nortrhern military elite, Dasuki. Also in pursuit of his attempt to attract the huge but falsified votes of Kano Jonathan which he should have rather sought to correct, he, on Kwankwaso’s request, sacked Festus Odimegwu as NPC chairman just because the latter spoke a bitter truth about Nigeria’s census history which pricked Kwankwaso’s guilty conscience. Was that Kano vote not later to drown him? Did Kwankwaso eventually deliver those votes to him? The same Jonathan hounded Ibori overseas in the name of corruption whereas OBJ, IBB, and other Northerners whose loots makes Ibori’s a child’s play walked free. And that was the kind of person you wanted Edos to give 100% votes in the name of SS solidarity. Was GEJ himself showing any solidarity to the SS course or rather to the Hausa-Fulanis?
Rather than revisit Saro Wiwa’s comprehensive blueprint on the Niger Delta demands from the FG Jonathan was satisfied with the amnesty offer which was mistakenly accepted by the political elite of the ND against the preference of the Okah Brother’s whom he hounded till he was kicked out of power.
The same person gave a N9bn worth pipeline protection contract to OPC leader Gani Adams while people people in the riverine areas of the SS lived in shanties.
Edos don’t put up with stupidity under the excuse of solidarity, and Neither the rest of the SS. Only Igbos do, hence their continued defence and celeberation of Azikiwe whose leadership and representation caused them a havoc which took them 30m years backwards. The SS issue is far beyond having a SSner in power, and this is what flimsy Igbos like you are completely ignorant of.
Jonathan was a wasted opportunity for the SS. Edos realized it first and expressed it at the polls despite having given him bloc votes in 2011. With the FG’s fantastic reforms currently targeted at the SS’ oil industry other SS states have passively acknowledged Edo’s vindication.
Below are the assessment of GEJ’s concern about the SS by sincere enlightened individuals from the region.
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/niger-delta-expects-buhari-jonathans-disappointment/
http://www.authorityngr.com/2015/11/Jonathan-failed-for-not-providing-infrastructure-in-the-Niger-Delta--David-Ugolor/archive1.html
http://www.sensornewsonline.com.ng/jonathan-failed-ndelta-chris-ekpenyong/

Only Igbos have decided to continue living in the past and continue fantasizing about GEJ who wasted an opportunity to redeem the SS and Middle Belt while licking the arses of the Katsina Mafia.
Only Igbos are so stupid and dishonest never to criticize their own no matter how wrong and how detrimental his actions are to them just like Hausas and Fulanis do. And that’s why I insist that Igbos and Hausa-Fulanis share a lot in common as regards value system and attitude. Edwin Clarke gave the same verdict on him too. MEND, a 100% Ijaw group, endorsed Buhari’s candidacy in that election. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/mend-supports-buhari-jonathan/ .
https://trwstockbrokers./2016/08/11/for-six-whole-years-mr-jonathan-was-busy-drinking-making-merry/

I guess you’ll say MEND was a SW/NC group, right? Igbos and their childish ways of reasoning!
The figures which APC later got in Bayelsa Governorship election was an evidence of the suspected rigging in the presidential election. With the implementation of UNEP report, the legalization of modular refineries, etc even Dokubo and the others are beginning to see that they were mistaken about their perceptions on the 2015 election. Have you heard him speak so vehemently again? Edo stands vindicated.

Neither Ribadu nor Buhari/ GEJ were Yorubas in 2011.
Osun can afford to vote who ever they wanted. None of the frontrunners were Yorubas. Even, the voters turn out during 2011 elections in SW was abysmal for this same reason.

Your analytical ability is near Zero.
See this fool! Was It not the same you who argued that even though neither Shagari nor AWolowo was Igbo, but Igbos chose Shagari because he picked Ekweme, an Igbo, as running mate? And you have comfortably forgotten that Ribadu had a Yoruba running mate and that could be cited for his choice by Osun people according to your logic. In fact even Buhari too had a Yoruba running mate but all other Yoruba states voted for GEJ/Sambo neither of whom was Yoruba.
Your analytical ability is on the negative.
