So you made Kanu the centre of Igbo aspiration in Nigeria?

You said Bubu was voted to fix GEJ perceived incompetence, why did SW vote for Bubu in 2019 inspite of his unprecedented incompetence?

Imagine saying there's no hatred against Igbos. Have you seen Peter Obi support Kanu? But who're the people pushing propaganda against Peter Obi? South Westerners.

The Igbo time has come and if Yorubas or Hausa-Fulani stand in the way, Nigeria as we know it, is over. Igbos are the only people capable of changing Nigeria destiny for good or bad. Let those who have ears, let them ear. A word is enough for the wise!

CrystalBliss:
You're not being sincere even with your own self. The vote for or against a candidate isn't the issue. Kanu is the issue, and he is being supported by many Igbos.

Before you talk of 2015, remember that S/W voted GEJ overwhelmingly in 2011. Hatred was not the reason GEJ was voted out in 2015 but rather what was perceived as incompetence on his part. Buhari presented himself as the solution to GEJ's incompetence, hence, the support.

There's no hatred for Igbos as such. The South West can still vote a SE candidate. The only issue is that an Igbo candidate is viewed with suspicion. Kanu unearthed old memories and displayed a lot of Facism in his Biafran project. A situation where you talk disdainfully of other tribes, while promoting yours with a standing ovation from your tribesmen is very disturbing.

MKO did not win the first primaries, it was annulled and Yorubas hailed the annulment.
It was the second primary MKO won.

itsme01:
Well since you are the assistant God and you speak for Jesus... Why not wait for the Presidential primaries next year before acting like God over Jagaban BAT2023 victory

MKO won free and fair direct primaries, and still won Presidential election, and it took IMF and Military to take his mandate

That's a brave man worthy of emulation, not Umar dikko

.

Because over 50% of the Yorubas are Muslim and the North tends to vote along religious lines(north is against northern Christian being president), they'd support Yorubas. But again,
the North knows that if Igbos leave, there's no Nigeria so they're threading carefully.

The North are afraid of the Igbos than any other nationality and rightfully so. The North has got it coming!

Reality3080:
who is fighting who now?

Yorubas are doing their thing n igbos are trying to pull them down

Anyim declared presidential ambition n everyone hailed him including yorubas

Orji uzor is warming up n everyone's hailing him including yorubas

Even Peter obi,we are urging him to declare interest.

But if any yoruba man declare interest igbos will start foaming in d mouth.

U are d ones fighting yorubas,yorubas no get your time n we no dey look your side,just imagine 57 groups trying to figure out d best hands for yorubas to present but igbos ain't doing anything order than talking down on yorubas

Secession is not in the 1999 constitution and the constitution of independence was thrown out before 1970 so even if it was there, Nigeria stopped using that constitution in 1966.

Reality3080:
which tribe objected d idea of secession?

Igbos want Igbo president, Yorubas want Yoruba president, Hausa want Hausa president so what's the point of being in one country when they could be president in Biafra, Oodua and Arewa respectively?

Reality3080:
The question any sane person should ask igbos is this

Will antagonizing tinubu make u President?
What if yorubas present another joker?
The same energy u put in criticising tinubu,if u put it in campaigning for an igbo president by now people will b taking u serious.

Imagine replacing any igbo aspirants by d number of times u people mention tinubu in a day

Tinubu ruined Lagos. Some of you have eyes but can't see

Money2022:
No doubt Tinubu can transform Nigeria just like Lagos, but me just want a neutral party to rule

So Swesterners voting against southern unity(GEJ) in 2015 to bring Bubu did not damage our alliance we were building?

If you say Peter Obi, Okorocha, Orji Kalu, Umahi, Ohaneze etc have been insulting other tribes, pushing Biafra agitation, I would believe you have genuine reasons to not support Igbo presidency.

But if it's cos of Nnamdi Kanu that nobody voted for, then I'll conclude you're looking for a reason not to vote for Igbos no matter what.

BTW, inspite of bokoharam, bandits and herdsmen killing across Nigeria and wanting a sharia state, nobody has hinted that Northerners will no longer be voted for

CrystalBliss:
You're not getting me right.

I'm not implying that Igbos are hated even though they truly were. The Biafran agitation caused it, coupled with the role Awolowo played. That's not what I'm actually talking about.

In spite of all that happened in the past, the South West and South East have been bridging their differences. These two tribes have come closer to each other than any other tribes in Nigeria. Business partnerships have been forged as well as intermarriages and political alliances. Igbos overwhelmingly voted OBJ in 1999. There was a gradual death of the political acrimony that once existed. It was already dieing out. Just as the trust and brotherhood was about being built up, Kanu came and resurrected the enmity.

You're a child if you think Igbos are hated because of Kanu. Hatred of Igbos in Nigeria was well underway in the 1950s

CrystalBliss:
Believe me, it was Kanu who spoilt the show for Igbos. He and his IPOB succeeded in creating enmity between the two tribes. Due to the things Kanu has said against the Yorubas on the behalf of Igbo, it's very hard to trust Igbos nowadays.

The truth is that this division caused by Kanu would give the north a political edge.

Kanu and IPOB are a disservice to the entire south.

He has no right to ban unless such a law exist!

Nigerians play too much.

Instead of holding the corrupt govt of bubu accountable, they're talking about diezani bra

See as Yoruba people dey insult their baba just to please Northerners.

Nigeria is not designed to work, the earlier you get this the better for you

Run along. This is a new year, no time for childish arguments

FernandezPablo:
What makes it not the same?

Guys going shirtless and women going shirtless is not same! What an absurd comparison!

FernandezPablo:
Say the same thing when guys dress shirtless..

You refused to call a spade a spade. A woman post sexually suggestive photos, what do you want the young guys to think? Pretending she's wearing a normal dress is foolishness

FernandezPablo:
It's just like saying cos you post your vehicle means you want to put it up for sale..how does that sound to you son?
How do you boys think tho?
A woman posted a picture for her day and you sexualize it talking about how you want to have sex with her..guys post shirtless picture of themselves but you don't say anything and women hardly sexualize them..are the men also not trying to be sexualized?
Can you see most men have a very big problem with their sexual life?

Drama queen

For real my beloved pocohantas nor tall? Well, she's super intelligent, something I admire the most!

Ishilove:
Pocohantas no go gree. She believes, by faith that she is tall.

Why do young men wanna die before their time? You want her to stab you in your sleep before you know there many other decent and calm women you can chose from?

I don't understand you guys. As a Nan, you've liberty to decide who to chase for marriage and out of the millions of single women,
you decide to go for a potential killer?

Biggie2000:
So, I've got this close friend, he's a real nice guy and easy going, but he has this really weird girlfriend. She is not a bad person, but she has these problems: Extreme jealousy and Anger. Her Anger and jealousy is top notch.
Permit me to tell you some of her extremely crazy actions due to jealousy: Firstly, she has Binoculars. This is no jokes. She literally has a pair of binoculars that she uses to view him from a distance just to make sure she can monitor him. Secondly, she literally has people she paid to monitor his movement, both at his workplace and back home. Thirdly, she has tapped his phone, which means she can know everyone he is talking to. Fourthly, she installed a tracker in his phone and car without him knowing. She calls him like every 30 minutes of the day, and will always ask for a video chat so she will confirm who he is with.
At first, he found her attitude to be cute, and even thought she was just trying to be a caring girlfriend that is protecting her 'property', but now e be like say water don pass garri. She has fought every of his female friends and she's in the habit of replying ANY female that dares comment on any picture he uploads on Social media. She fought his boss, who also happens to be a female.
Now, here's the main thing. My friend is planning to propose to her(I wonder why) on Dec. 31st/1st of January 2022. He wants to propose at the exact moment (12:00am) when everyone will be shouting "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"
He bought her a real expensive ring. Then, he invited his godmother and some of us over. The plan was to meet so we can plan the main event properly without her(the girlfriend) knowing. All in a bid to surprise her. So, the godmother and i got there first, but she came before me. He went downstairs to meet her; hugged her, and was showing her the ring he wants to use for proposal. Out of no where, this his girlfriend ran downstairs with FULL FORCE. I guess she was viewing him with her Binoculars. She started yelling and accusing him of having and proposing marriage to a sugar mommy. She didn't even wait for any explanation before she started raining all sorts of derogatory words and insults on this woman. She tore parts of her dress and called her an old hag, a prostitute, boyfriend snatcher, etc. She slapped this woman o. The guy got very angry and he pushed her, this girl pulled out a small kitchen knife she hid in her back pocket while coming downstairs and stabbed his hand o. Yes, she stabbed him. The whole thing felt like a Nollywood movie. I could not believe my eyes. I've seen her angry severally, but this was the icing on the cake. The whole estate was shook, because she kept running helter skelter while YELLING, cursing and destroying properties. Several people had to come out before we could tame her, and then take the guy to a clinic. The godmother didn't utter a single word, and she simply left. Till now, nobody has been able to reach her(the godmother). Now, after some of the family members have called the girl, she is now convinced that the woman is actually his godmother, and not a sugar mommy. She is sober now and wants forgiveness, whereas the guy has said he doesn't want again.
Here are my questions:
When you see your guy or your lady with another person that's of the opposite gender in public, what's the best way to handle the situation? Do you approach them with anger? Do you simply call your partner to the side to ask 'who is the girl/guy you're talking to?' Do you simply wait for your partner to finish, so he/she will come and explain to you what's going on?
I already told him I support his decision to cancel the proposal and end the relationship, but this girl is actually a really nice girl, it's just her anger and jealousy that is the problem. That's the ONLY issue with her.
Should he help her work on her anger issues before thinking of marriage or he should just end the relationship?

You need 5g to send sms?

favor914:
True most Nigerians will make their judgement based on their own selfish assertions not the generality of all Nigerians.

Not all parts of Nigeria is ready for any electronic transmission right now, hopefully with the roll out of 5G next year, hopefully 2027 will be realistic.

Run along, if you can't fight for yourself.

Rexwalters1:
Is Igbo the only tribe in Nigeria that hasn’t ruled, what of Igala, Nupe, Urhobo, Bini, Esan & The too numerous to mention tribes in Nigeria that haven’t ruled?

What nonsense they must dash to you the presidency selfish minded thing, no different from EK Clark?

Nobody is giving you anything including Biafra. Nonsense Wailer when your time comes your people will rule for straight 20 years no shaking, until then you appreciate the moment.

Igbos will be victorious, nothing can stop it. It's inborn

Chimaokigwe:
Keep insulting the North, let us see your political future.
Ezeife turned himself to Kanu's houseboy, making noise about. He has come back to his senses and he is prepared to prostrate all around Nigeria for SE to get a shot at the Presidency.
If you don't apologise, then you can continue making enemies with the largest voting bloc.

I don't have time for blind arguments


https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/9th-national-assembly-why-zone-leadership-positions-to-individuals/%3famp

Reality3080:
u are lieing to yourself,

It was zoned to regions based on the support they got from those region n d part each individual played

Calling insult as excuse not to vote for Igbos is just pretense. You won't vote for them no matter what. Insofar you vote for killers, then excuse of insult is outrageous

Chimaokigwe:
Voting an Igbo candidate is not by force. Voting a Northern candidate is not by force. Voting a SW candidate is not by force.
If I cannot convince you to vote for me and instead insult you, it would be foolishness to expect you to vote for me.

This rigmaroling is to ensure the bill is not signed before the elections

Clowns!

Go and sit down!

You vote for Northerners inspite of killings and you're talking of insults. So killing is less than insults?

Chimaokigwe:
OUK for President in 2007, he focused on only campaigns in the East. Government of National Unity proposed by Yar'Adua, OUK was the first to jump in and lose his 2 PPA states.

When have Igbo candidates traversed the length and breath of this country to campaign and mobilise voters?
You can't sit in one place, play divisive politics, insult the largest voting blocs day in and out but expect power to handed to you.

The Kanu issue is actually big obstacle to the Eastern Presidency if we consider it dispassionately. Let him remain in prison so as not to spoil things.

Again, if zoning start from somewhere, microzoning can start from somewhere.

APC zoned positions to individuals! Senate president was zoned to Lawan and speaker to Gbajabiamila, so this pretense and double standard you guys are doing is shameful

Reality3080:
don't expect anybody to micro zone presidency to your village

Igbos have been denied presidency before long before Kanu. It would be cowardice to revolve everything around kanu.

Bokoharam and Fulani herdsmen never stopped Nigerians from voting for Northerners

Chimaokigwe:
When Igbos voted for Yar'Adua, was Kanu threatening Northerners then?

They want to look more beautiful than they actually are

Ladies will always create problem that is not there and cry for solution.

God gave you eye lid, you remove it, you use 2B pencil to draw your own.
God gave you eye brow, you remove it, you use gum that can blind your eyes to add longer one.
God gave you beautiful natural hair, you.... Let me just stop here.
Ladies have problem oo

How is the North today inspite of producing the current president who's been there for over 6yrs? How's Katsina?

An incompetent president affects everybody so better look for competency over ethnicity.

The only reason Igbos are insisting on the presidency is because of Nigeria tribal politics

Ovamboland:
It might be a legend or fiction, but it's the human foibles behind it that is on discussion.

You wont want to throw away what you deserve flippantly the way most of you say you will vote north than compete with SW for presidency.

It's a big indication you don't deserve the presidency and lack the temperance required for that position. Even north will never accept your trojan gift.

Why did zoning start in 1999? Some people could have resisted then that there was nothing like zoning before then. There's always a beginning of everything, unless you're looking for excuse not to support microzoning. Saying it did not start from 1999 makes not sense! Besides zoning is only in PDP constitution!

Ovamboland:
Now you agree there was never microzoning since 1999

Nigeria is not designed to work. You don't put people who hate each other in same country and expect it to succeed!

Did Igbos vote for Yaradua, a fulani man?

Chimaokigwe:
Osita Chidoka is the best person to explain what Kanu can do to one's political aspirations. Kanu wrecked his chances during the Anambra governorship despite the fact that Chidoka supported Kanu.
Northerners will not vote for an Igbo candidate, not because he's not qualified but because of how Kanu has managed to wreck the political appeal of Igbos. Just how Igbos didn't vote Buhari, Northerners won't vote an Igbo candidate.

He doesn't need to go for them now, insofar their mom is not a danger to them. Let him just send their upkeep for now.

Kobojunkie:
Please stop with the ridiculous come backs abeg! There is no such thing as the kids are too young as far as custody is concerned, not in today's world and with the laws that currently exist.

Again, this man, if he cares for the kids, can and will go for then then he chooses but there is no guarantee that he will get them if he continues to ignore his duties to them.
