Lmao stats don't lie
PDP grew our GDP from 59 billion in 1999
To 574 billion in 2015

APC took it from over 550 billion to just over 200 billion

Nigeria GDP per capita grew from 500 to 3150 under PDP
Fell from over 3000 to below 1000 under APC

NB all values in dollars
GDP growth that was occasioned by high percentage rise in price of crude oil? Hahaha. You don't judge your performance by what you didn't make conscious efforts to achieve. It is like someone winning a lottery and using that as a metric to rate his productivity. You must be a comedian

Didn't you do that to Obj? What name didn't you yorubas call OBJ? Did that stop him from being president? That was not bitter politics abi?

Honestly what exactly have APC done to deserve the support of any logically thinking man

When history of Nigeria is written it would be known that Igbos where the people who stood against APC destruction of Nigeria
What names did Yoruba people ever call OBJ? If anything, Afenifere even later prevailed on Olu. falae to withdraw his suit against OBJ's victory on the excuse of "Egbon wa ni" meaning "After all, he is still out son" going by how it was translated to us back then as non Yorubas in Lagos. In addition, the same Afenifere mounted pressure on the AD not to even put forward a candidate for 2003 so that all Yorubas could support OBJ. Only Tinubu took exception and that led to his breaking ranks with Afenifere to fuse his own loyalty base of AD with some Northern minor parties and later with Buhari's CPC to become APC.

The truth you are finding very difficult to see about APC is that it is a party trying to get Nigeria to face reality and stop subsidizing the greed of both the masses and the political class. Of course it is a very hard choice that will be difficult to pursue let alone achieve. During PDP era, nearly everything was subsidized to the detriment of the economy and in the end it bred entitlement mentality which has now become a virus in the reasoning of the average Nigerian. APC is trying to make fundamental changes which PDP glossed over all through its time. The LGA autonomy pursuit, the push for restructuring, the advent of modular refineries, etc are some of these policies.
PDP was openly against restructuring which is actually the panacea to all our problems in this country so why should any sincere and honest person give PDP a good place in Nigeria's history?

You are the one calling it Anti Yoruba move... We are saying pick Igbo of your choice and vote too na pay us in kind

Abiola got 45% votes in Igbo land
Tofa had igbo vice
Hope Uzodinma was declared governor by the courts and immediately an unprecedented level of violence enveloped Imo State till today because his party APC is perceived by you folks as Yoruba party. You kept on derogatorily calling him Supreme Court governor of, Uzodinjo, slave of Yoruba Fulanis, etc. You kept on shedding blood in Imo State, killing and maiming anyone who appears to be supporting Hope Uzodinma's government, etc. As soon as Umahi joined APC you began to hate him and label him Yoruba slave. For daring to identify with APC you labeled Joe as Joe Yorubakwe, burnt his house in Nnewi and declared his life endangered should he step into the SE ever again. Rochas became OkoroHausa for joining APC and so on. If you so hate your own and don't mind killing them when their choices appear to be pro-Yoruba political camp, why should we vote any of them into Aso Rock and risk having the entire SE region becoming a war zone all through his tenure?

See talk ooh

So failures Buhari and Tinubu are the Fulani and Yoruba choice abi?
How does your first line change the fact that your voting of OBJ was anti Yoruba move? Didn't you Igbos also vote for an almost illiterate Tofa against Abiola a first class Accountancy graduate from The University of Glasgow? So much for a people who voted for the best candidates.

Warning you Buhari and Tinubu would be a failure and not supporting them is what you call fighting other tribes?

Have igbos not backed a Yoruba man
Have igbos not back a Fulani man?

Yet igbos are the ones fighting other tribes abi?
Igbos' backing of a Yoruba man (OBJ) was actually a way to fight Yoruba as OBJ was actually the very candidate Yorubas didn't want. Backing Yaradua was also indirectly an anti-,Fulani move.

EducationRe: South-East Institutions Missing As NELFUND Publishes Student Loan Disbursement by Deadlytruth(m):
vanbonattel:
Hahahah grin

Do you know why I am laughing? Because water will always find its level. If you like, quickly disburse the loan to other regions and start crying that SE didn't send to protect yourself from blame, na you sabi. grin

Unity schools entrance qualification was set so high for the south east, maybe its because the SE refused to apply for reduction.

UNN is almost abandoned by FG because of where it is

But you know what, check the number of graduates every year, especially high scoring ones and tell me who makes the highest list, despite all.

WATER WILL ALWAYS FIND ITS LEVEL.
Per the bolded, the setting of high entrance scores for the natives of SE states is a fall out of the phenomenon that among the six regions in Nigeria, the SE states have the lowest ratio of state owned public schools to the number of children from the region seeking admission into public schools all over the country. What it simply therefore means is that the governors of the SE states traditionally don't care much about establishing public primary and secondary schools as much as the other five regions do hence children from the SE seeking admission into state owned public schools and FG owned unity schools are too many for the public schools available in their home region hence they tend to migrate to the other five regions to seek admission into public schools thus bringing pressure from their own region to other regions. Of course these other regions must find a way to take care of their own indigenous admission seekers first before outsiders hence they have to set up high entrance scores for the SE migrants hence a way to morally question the governors of the SE states and wake them up to their responsibility.
It is actually worrisome that even Northern States have more state owned public schools than SE states. Check the data below:

As far as I know Igbos are the least political or united of the 3 main tribes ; we are just not ready to or willing to organize politically that is why after the death of Ojukwu , there was no respected Igbo elder willing to guide and advise our people and in that type of leadership vacuum. insincere people and enemies of Nigeria and Ndiigbo can use the likes of NK and his so called IPOB to destroy us.
Even Ojukwu could not successfully rally Igbos. The party he founded as a rallying point for Igbos has not been able to grow beyond his Anambra State of origin. Even in that Anambra it is facing serious existential threat.

Obasanjo to me is one of these enemies of Nigeria .

To me it is less important that Igbos provide a presidency than Nigeria has the correct man for the job, but whilst we are in a so called democracy we must be seen to operate with equity and fairness.

This is damning misdeed on the part of PDP and Obasanjo must own his share of the responsibility, being the first PDP president whose government introduced the 1999 constitution after the 1995 draft constitution that would have guaranteed an Igbo president was ditched weeks before Obasanjo resumed as president in 1999.

But the man makes so many speeches nowaday when he is out of power, appearing to side with Igbo opinions and other cheap gestures which have Igbo who are ignorant of recent Nigerian political history to believe he is pro-Igbo.

Of course words are cheap and his words certainly appear to be pro-Igbo but his actions are the polar opposite.
I must acknowledge at this point that you are the first Igbo person I have come across saying it exactly as it is without sentiments as far as Obasanjo relationship with Igbo is concreted. You are very realistic and candid in your opinion and that is just the truth. Obasanjo is actually responsible for the inability of Igbo to clinch presidency but he keeps playing on their intelligence with words while they too keep falling for it. There were a lot of accomplished and distinguished Igbos like Soludo, Ngige, Anyim Pius Anyim, etc whom Obasanjo could and should have picked as Yaradua's running mate instead of Jonathan who was far less cerebral than these Igbo personalities.

Not only that,why didn't he choose an Igbo man as VP to yaradua?


What about his killings of biafrans during civil war.

Till today,I don't understand Igbo love for OBJ
You are not alone in that. But I think it is all because Obasanjo seems to hate and always prefer to frustrate Yoruba interests hence Igbos and Obasanjo are united by hate for Yoruba interest.

U mean by Awolowo who was busy also negotiating with the North? Bros abeg go read history
Those who went to negotiate with the Noth was the Akintola faction of AD. If you had read history very well you would have come across why Akintola did so which was that three years before independence the about to depart colonial overlords had set up a shadow indigenous government headed by Tafawa Balewa with Akintola holding a ministerial portfolio in it hence Akintola was already used to the filthy lucre of public office and therefore couldn't imagine himself being out of government in a fully fledged indigenous Nigeria Government which was about to be installed. So, seeing that the pendulum held more hope of swinging to the Dominant NPC direction, he taught it more realistic to seek alliance with Ahmadu Bello that join Awolowo in his NCNC-AG coalition proposal.

Sure but this thread is referring to civilian administrations and Igbos gaining the presidential tickets to be elected president.
Just as Igbos have had it militarily but never democratically, the Southern minorities never had it militarily but democratically, so it is still a balance. In addition, to have it democratically is never on a platter of gold but careful strategizing and building of bridges. Igbos are failing on this because they use emotions, blackmail on others ethnicities, and secession threats.

The Only reason North is moving mad is the greed of Yorubas that's all

South and middle belt can decide to rotate the president among us till North have sense

But North is so sure they can offer Yorubas Vice and they would betray

That's all nothing more nothing less

South is majority if you call koji, kwara and Benue North then you are joking

In fact Benue, koji kwara, Abuja, plateaus all vote with South

Nassarawa, taraba, 50% of Kaduna, 60% of adamawa vote alone with south

So in what way is North majority
Your accusal of Yoruba of shutting the Middle Belt-South alliance is at best dishonest because that alliance was proposed right from independence by the Yoruba leadership with the offer that Igbos would be the beneficiary but the Igbo leadership scuttled it for a reason which is still difficult for any right thinking person to make any sense from. You can't now suddenly turn around after 64 years to ask for what you rejected and thwarted when it really mattered most.

Yoruba and Fulani should continue to rule Nigeria while Igbo stand no chance, but remember who people are complaining more of hunger the most in Nigeria? Igbo don't care who is the president not vice president, all Igbo man want is good economy to do his business. Yet people in government use bad government policies to destroy the economy
All honest Nigerians know and acknowledged that the only policy that will bring about a working Nigeria with an excellent economy is the policy of refederalization otherwise known more commonly as return to true federalism. We began with this true federalism anchored on a federal constitution but it was an Igbo man that first tampered with it and introduced military rule which eventually destroyed it. So how exactly can anyone be correct to say that Igbos want a working economy and a better Nigeria?

It's only the Igbos that have barely ruled Nigeria since inception apart from Nmandi azikiwe or some coups here and there
Since 1999 till present the Igbos don't stand a chance for presidency
Even the 2023 election they were expecting to win.
Tinubu snatched it away from their so called Messiah
Yorubas have ruled two full terms twice and a vice presidency while Igbos have nothing.
It's Yoruba and Hausa that are dragging to rule this country exchanging at the driver's wheel at the front of the car while the rest stay at the back of the car
An Igbo man was the second person to rule this country. In fact that Igbo man tasted power 12 clear years before any other Southerner got the opportunity. Even the next Southerner to clinch power is very likely to be an Igbo man genetically, and the same genetically possible Igbo man once again ruled in this democracy. The people who have really suffered in this country are the Southern minorities who never tasted presidency except through an accidental means which is not likely to come their way again.
