Maybe you were out of data or you just chose to pull this write out of your ass, but, NDC has already zoned the presidential ticket to the south but only for one term of 4yrs .

Make una try dey buy data, E get why.

When did this happen?

Provide a credible source on when the NDC zoned their presidential ticket to the south.

Daniel058:
yes I stand with P . O

That's the only reason you registered with NDC.

When Giringori leaves NDC you will go and register with whatever party he joins

Daniel058:
As a good citizen of this country, you are supposed to belong to a political party. Let your voice be heard. Today I successfully registered as member of Nigeria Democratic Congress NDC

Congrats.

Just know that the newly amended electoral law criminalises registering as a member of more than one political party. This is to ensure you don't participate in direct primary election process in more than one recognised political party.

For your own good, I hope you have resigned from ADC and LP before registering as a party member of NDC.

From what I got from their timetable:

1. There won't be consensus candidate

2. NDC is not zoning their Presidential ticket.

With these in mind, I can safely say that kwankwasso will be contesting for the NDC ticket.

The only people who refused to even allow that scenario or thought play in their heads are the highly delusional obidients .

Kwankwasso has declared severally that he is in the race not as anyone's VP nominee but to contest the general elections as a substantive Presidential candidate but this is lost on the obedients who keep insisting that kwankwasso will run as Obi's vp nominee.

That makes it highly probable that kwankwasso will emerge as the flag bearer for the NDC as even if Obi decides to overcome his phobia in contesting primaries, Kwankwasso will beat him black and blue.

I also do not see Kwankwasso picking Obi as his running mate because like I have said here several times which the few northerners here can attest to, Obi is not sellable to the Muslim north. His Yes Daddy tapes along other considerations will make any northern candidate who runs with him as VP too toxic to sell up north.

I expect Giringori to quit NDC few days before the primaries and drag the party to court for not giving him free ticket.

Chibuezem:
If
The only thing that can lead to a civil war is invasion of Fulani herdsmen in Aba .
This alone will spark an ethnic cleansing of the Fulani tribe .

And you think the fulani's will not retaliate across the north if you guys go on a blind massacre of the few fulanis in your SE?

ResidentSnitch:
Highly illogical and irrelevant comment.
Shift. What happens in SE and SS is not your business.
Shift.

You do not speak for nor represent the SS people

Stop dragging SS into your madness.

Chibuezem:
Lol this is online fabricated by our respective agbadorians trying to play the tribalism card .
Nigerians are tired of eating corn and wallowing in suffering and poverty

This line won't work.

Your fellow obedients are defending this callousness on the part of your people .

A similar thing played out in 2023 with almost all LP candidates running for elected positions in Lagos being Ibos

Christistruth03:
They are the clear Majority in Sabon gari Kano
If they get liver let them claim it

They were claiming Sabon Garin as a no man's land and were the ones who declared it so.

This was because they claimed foolishly that Sabon Garin was not under Kano Emirate.

They based this claim on no man's land on the false assumption that the outgoing British had purchased the land from the Emirate council .

The British had gotten a lease for Sabon Garin to house their servants who were mostly from the SE. The British knew that there will be trouble if they housed their servants in the conservative islamic Emirate walled city so they approached the Emir to lease them a strip of land outside the walled city to house their servants

When the British left they began claiming that sabo Garin which hitherto was not under Sharia jurisprudence and Emir control was an autonomous entity in the sea of an islamic caliphate

The rest is history

Goodvibes007:
In Rivers, Akwa Ibom e.t.c those guys are very protective of their political positions. They are minorities so its easy for them to be wiped out. Some Rivers state tribe do not even marry South Easterners for that reason.

However, for the North. The South Easterners are always afraid of Northerners though. The pogroms of the 1950s-1960s left an everlasting impact.

When one obidient South East guy born and bred in Sokoto tried to contest for leadership of the movement back then in Sokoto, read how his kith and kin called him to order.

They only remember sense when it comes to north.

Well, who do we blame if not same yorubas

SmartPolician:
So why are you more worried more than the wailer? Onukwu!

Keep complaining about everything including another man's ad revenue .

Your wailing is sweet to my ears.

Jayhome24:
Wallahi this thing called obi dey baffle me whe I see his nuisance followers praising him

Thanks to obi we now know how they all reason upside down

SmartPolician:
I don't know why Seun is busy shoving ads down our throats.

How do those people running ads here expect Nairalanders to patronize them when Tinubu is steadily destroying our dispensable income? This country is in an economic mess.

Anyways, congratulations to the nominees!

You have at least 20ys of wailing ahead of you

Tinubu will complete his second term and hand over to a northerner who will do 8ys and hand over to a SS candidate ywho will do two tetms.

You go wail tire

SmartPolician:
You are free to keep convulsing over him, but common sense tells people to only judge those who have been tested. If Peter Obi introduces financial discipline in federal political, everyone will feel its positive impact

Like diverting public funds to his personal portfolio and offshore accounts ?

Pastorsarynzay:
He created wealth for anambra to thrive, anambra cargo airport was his wealth proceed , the highest employment in anambra still remain the brewery, do tell me what other investments obiano and soludo has brought in anambra

Take softly dey lie .

Nigerian Breweries employs more than Giringori brewry

Skullminers1:
Na PhD we go chop,I remembered most of my classmates in Secondary School that did not finish even JS3 but they are doing far better than those that did Masters. So I know those that having been using education qualifications to compare Kwankwaso and Peter Obi are doing that out of hatred they have against Peter Obi because same people are the ones that supported Buhari that never went to Primary School when he was having issues with his academic or Tinubu that forged his Certificate

Now I understand and see why giringori did not build nor renovate one single public school throughout his 8y tenure as governor of Anambra

1nice:
Your tribalistic remarks against Igbos reveal your hate speech towards Igbos.
2023 presidential election was won by an Igbo man peter obi but he was rigged out to third position and you expect igbos to continue to keep silence.

Surprise package from igbos awaits enemies of igbos in Nigeria and abroad.

Your audacity in accusing others of hate speech when you are here supporting a violent civil war and insurection as threatened by the terrorist OP if Nigerians refuse to vote your ethnic champion is sickening to say the least.

The OP is making an open terrorist threat on the Nigerian electorate if we do not support and vote his ethnic champion and you are here supporting his terrorist threats while insulting and threatening every poster on this thread who condemns the OP's terrorist threats but somehow you are accusing others here of hate speech against ibos

21lucky:
If Azikiwe 'controlled the civil service more than Balewa', then why did Balewa remain PM with executive power while Azikiwe was ceremonial Head of State? Ceremonial means no veto, no control over ministries. That’s why historians don’t count it the same as an 8-year elected presidency.

On 'SE has lowest population but equal zones': The 6-zone structure was a political compromise in 1996, not based on population. If we switch to tax/revenue for representation, then we need a new constitution and a credible census first. You can’t apply one rule for SE and ignore it for others.

And 'Yoruba get no benefit from Nigeria' - then why are Yoruba in politics, business, and federal jobs across the country? You don’t keep benefiting from a system for 60 years and call it useless only when it’s not your turn.


You say 'no unfounded claims of marginalization', but then say 'Yoruba get no benefit from Nigeria'. That’s a claim of marginalization too, just for a different group.
If your real position is secession, say it directly. But don’t use selective history to paint Igbos as the only problem. Nigeria’s problem is bad governance, not which tribe produces the president.


We can argue history all day and still be here in 2050.
The question for 2027 is simple: who can fix power, security, and the economy? If you think Tinubu is that person, argue his record. If I think Peter Obi is, I’ll argue his.
Reducing it to 'my tribe deserves it' or 'your tribe has had enough' is why Nigeria stays stuck.


You want tax/revenue to determine representation, but also want Yoruba to break away and keep Lagos revenue to themselves. Which is it?
You can’t demand a 'federal system based on tax' and then reject federalism when it doesn’t favor you. That’s hypocrisy.

In 1963, zik was able to con the Federal Parliament into making him President in place of the Queen of England who was our titular Head-of-state .

Prior to this, Zik was addressed as Governor-General and had very limited powers.

As President , Zik had the powers to appoint civil service heads of the Federal ministries and when it then dawned on the NPC that Zik was now in full control of appointing who will head the army following the exit of the British Maj. General, a constitutional crisis broke out in 1964 fueled by the rift between the coalition govt of the NPC and Zik's NCNC.

Zik even had the audacity to sack Belawa as PM to which Belawa sacked Zik as President in return.

At this same critical period, Ojukwu had approached Gowon with a coup offer with the intention of installing Zik as civilian dictator. Gowon reported the matter to the British Maj General who only admonished Ojukwu to remember who he had sworn loyalty to and the oath he took to uphold and defend the constitution.

A consensus was reached in 1965 with Belawa agreeing to allow Zik to appoint the first indigenous head of the Army.

Zik did not fail to appoint the least qualified Ironsi based purely on ethnic sentiments.

Even the Federal university of Ibadan had an ibo man as it's VC courtesy of Zik's brazen tribalism.

Tenses:
This is what you get when the president is a criminal.

Tinubu nah Una god

Farmsolution:
This is long overdue. The state has the resources capacity and manpower to do this if they prioritize their people first ahead of politics. Only mediocres celebrate this kind of achievement. Multiple contactors can solve this challenges within a year, if we are really serious and we put our mind to it. There is still more work to do .

China where the coaches are bought from don't wait for ages to build infrastructure that will make life easy for its citizens. Comparing Lagos with others states in Nigeria is the lowest considered its IGR , population advantage and recent bogus federal allocations .

Lagos should be competing with the whole of multiple state's economy all combined.

But it is well, le t me just comment my reserve before their political hallelujah boys will come out now.

So true, it does in the lack of basic services and common utilities like pipe borne water despite huge budget growth from forever increasing tax burden on Lagosians.

Do you think it's just unevolved tribalistic mindset that is responsible for our 200 million mumuness, or it is the Stockholm syndrome affliction you talked about two years ago in the thread below

Radicalwarrior:
Nigeria is at a crossroads once again. The storm clouds are gathering, and if the nation refuses to act decisively and justly, a second civil war may be inevitable. The exclusion of the South East — the homeland of the Igbo people — from the highest office in the land is pushing Nigeria to the brink. If the Igbo are denied the presidency in 2027, the consequences could be catastrophic. Not just politically, but existentially.


The scars of the 1967–1970 Biafra War have never truly healed. Over 3 million Igbos were killed in a war triggered largely by marginalization, ethnic violence, and the fight for justice and inclusion. Yet, 54 years later, the Igbo people have still never been allowed to produce a democratically elected president of Nigeria.

Despite being one of the three major ethnic groups in the country — alongside the Hausa-Fulani and the Yoruba — the Igbos remain politically sidelined at the national level.

Yoruba presidency: 1999–2007 (Olusegun Obasanjo)

Hausa-Fulani presidency: 2007–2023 (Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Muhammadu Buhari)

South-South (Ijaw): 2010–2015 (Goodluck Jonathan)

South East (Igbo): Never


This systematic exclusion is not just unjust — it is unsustainable.

The South East may be the smallest of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones by land mass, but the Igbo people are one of the most widely spread, industrious, and economically impactful ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Igbos control over 60% of Nigeria’s informal trade and business in major cities — Lagos, Kano, Abuja, and beyond.

The region has some of the highest literacy and school enrollment rates in the country.

Igbo Nigerians lead in the diaspora, sending billions in remittances annually and promoting Nigeria’s image globally.

It is politically dangerous and morally indefensible to keep such a group excluded from the presidency while expecting peace and unity.


The rise of pro-Biafra separatist movements like IPOB is not random — it is a direct reaction to decades of marginalization. When a people feel unheard and unwanted, they seek to leave. IPOB, MASSOB, and others have gained traction because the Nigerian state continues to treat the South East as second-class citizens.

Denying the region the presidency in 2027 will radicalize millions of young Igbos already disillusioned with the country. This will turn agitation into full-blown rebellion. And this time, it won’t just be a political crisis — it could be an armed insurrection.


A nation cannot survive when it is built on selective inclusion. You cannot call for unity while promoting exclusion. Every region in Nigeria must have a sense of belonging. Every major ethnic group must see itself represented in the highest office.

Zoning and rotation have been used to maintain balance — North and South taking turns.

The North has ruled for 14 of the last 24 years.

The South West and South South have had their turns.

It is only just that the South East should take its rightful place in 2027.


If zoning is abandoned now that it's the South East’s turn, it will be seen — rightly — as a deliberate strategy to keep Igbos perpetually excluded. That perception will destroy whatever fragile unity still exists in Nigeria.


Nigeria’s youth — more than 60% of the population — are not blind to ethnic injustice. Many young people from all over Nigeria supported Peter Obi, an Igbo man, in the 2023 election, seeing him as a symbol of hope and change. Despite not winning, the message was clear: the South East has national appeal and leadership capacity.

To deny the region in 2027 is to betray a generation looking for fairness. Youth anger in the South East, if left to boil over, will not be limited to protests. It could evolve into an uncontainable security nightmare for Nigeria.

The first civil war was fought with limited weapons and international awareness. A second civil war will be fought in a 21st-century Nigeria filled with armed non-state actors, widespread internet activism, drone technology, and porous borders. A war today will not stay in the East. It will burn across Nigeria and likely draw in foreign interests.

It is better to give justice and preserve peace than to suppress justice and ignite war.


2027 is a moral test for Nigeria. If equity, justice, and national cohesion still matter, the Igbo people must produce the next president. This is not a threat — it is a warning grounded in history, current reality, and future consequence.

To continue to exclude the Igbos is to choose the path of instability, chaos, and perhaps disintegration.

Let us not wait for another war to realize what could have been prevented with wisdom.

Come and force me to vote your ibo obi

eepeepook:
I don’t believe this story. Who bought the devices? Starlink is not like MTN or other telecom companies which sell modems for tens of thousands of Naira. Their devices and subscriptions run into almost a thousand dollars.

Firstly, no one cares what you believe or not.

Is it not same Starlink that Israel and the US were supplying dissidents and Mossad agents embedded within Iran to instigate a violent uprising in Iran?

Same starlink that Elon openly sent to the terrorist Azov brigade in Ukraine ?

Validated:
APC has no place in Delta, even Okowa will be defeated by NDC candidate.

Ned himself is in same APC
