Which of the south south are you from? The one that has Asari dokubo or the one that is being claimed by ondo people

Abiola went against IBB's advice to pick a northern Christian rather than a Muslim.

This combination worked as Abiola won that election but will such arrangement work in today's present Nigeria?

Tinubu wanted to be Buhari's running mate but his own SW caucus kicked against it stating it will be highly insensitive for the APC to have a Muslim -Muslim ticket given the perception then (and up till now) that the APC was overwhelmingly composed of Muslim politicians seeking to oust a Christian President battling Islamic inspired insurgency in the Muslim North.

If the likes of Tinubu still insisting on running for presidency he will rather go for a northern Muslim as the northern Christians are heavily despised in the north. This Muslim Muslim ticket will not fly in the better south and Christian middle belt and you can bet the opposition will simply get a northern Muslim with a Christian southerner.


It is thus safe to conclude that a Yoruba moslem can never smell Aso Rock. A southern Christian has more chance of being President just like Obasanjo and Jonathan than a Yoruba moslem.

Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) from the South-East region of the country.

The group, in a statement in Abakaliki on Thursday, said that will give the zone a sense of belonging in the President’s second tenure.

The statement signed by the President-General of OYC also congratulated the new National Assembly leadership elected on Tuesday.

The statement said: The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had watched keenly the manipulated drama and scheme out of South East zone from the leadership of National Assembly, Judiciary and other Security apparatus of the country, but, rather than lamenting endlessly, we congratulate those who emerged as National Assembly leaders.

It is the will of the Almighty God, and we the younger generation of Ndigbo accept these realities as an act of fate, and we urge Igbo leaders to shield their battle swords and quietly go into “ime Obi” and restrategize ahead of time for the battle Royal ahead in 2023.

We should borrow a leaf from South-West who were in similar situations between 2007 till 2015 before they bounced back in the present moment with President Buhari.

Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Wednesday has described as worrisome that no South Easterner is occupying any position in the first six political offices in the current administration.

President Muhammadu Buhari is from the North-Central while Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo is from the South- West. Ahmad Lawan, Senate President is from the North- East while Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila the Speaker of the House of Reps is from the South- West.

Justice Tanko Mohammed the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) is from the North- Eastern state of Bauchi while Senator Ovie Omo- Agege the Deputy Senate President is from the South- South geopolitical zone.

He also said the President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech on Democracy Day was not inspiring though it gave him a slight ray of hope.

“I was not inspired because it was not the kind of speech that I expected. I expected a foundation laying speech; meaning that if you are building a house, you find a deal with foundation issues. I think Nigeria lacks the foundation and the fact that for instance, if you look at the first six highest political offices in Nigeria and there is no Igbo man is worrying which the President hopes to achieve development and success”.

“I was hoping to hear a speech that focuses on the need for a strong, united Nigeria. I didn’t hear that. Notwithstanding, what I hear gives me a slight ray of hope. I was impressed with the issue of lifting 100 million people out of poverty in 10 years”.

“I was impressed with the fact that there will be strong men to do the job. So, what I am looking at now is to watch out for the next few days to see the kinds of people that will be appointed to drive the ship of state” he said.

The South East and all of Ndigbo are a very important member of the Nigerian union. And is rightfully so.

But lately the hatred and unguarded emotions and voices of some has continued to alienate Ndigbo from the rest of nation. It now seems if you are an Igboman and you are not hating on Nigeria, you are the enemy.

Granted, our country Nigeria (like any other country out there) has many challenges and I strongly believe together we can find a common ground and solutions to them.

I believe the day Ndigbo through an organisation like Ohaneze, make a declaration like the one below in bold, Ndigbo can start the process of reclaiming its position in the scheme of things. It will also be the time other Nigerians will start giving an Igboman a benefit of the doubt.

That we, Ndigbo are 100% Nigerians. We have no other country except Nigeria. That we are not just surviving in Nigeria, but we are committed to join other Nigerians from all parts of the Federation to build the Nigeria of our collective aspiration. That we forgive those that have hurt and offended us in the past and ask never again. We are proudly Nigerians.

At the very least say this to ourselves and teach our people the same, the hate will die down, love, unity and development will grow. Nigeria will be greater than ever.

Funny enough the South East will make most progress than the regions with Presidents, vice president, senate President, speaker, and what have you.

Honor10:
I know this useless omo-criminal will react, the guy is a chemical. What this wailers fail to understand is we have culture in Nigeria and we do respect our elders, politics aside Buhari is old enough to be omo-agege father. so if he decide to kneel or prostrate for him, that shouldn't be anyone problem, the fact that he kneel for him, doesn't make him a rubber stamp and doing otherwise, doesn't say he won't be a rubber stamp.


And my condolences go the Ipob and Wailers Association of Nairaland(IWAA) dont get close to sniper yet, Nigeria will be better under this administration and if not for any other thing, wait till 2023 when SW clinch the Presidency.


President ---NW
Vice president ---SW
Senate president --- NE
Speaker ---- SW
Deputy Senate president ---- SS
Deputy speaker --- NC
chairman Governor's forum ---- SW

you see that a major region is missing there, it is because of the politics of hate and bitterness, how a man will come on the radio and start abusing all other tribes is amusing and they sheepishly follow him.


SW for President 2023.
