[quote author= post=112231405]SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

We have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at our Igbo tribe. We have deliberately kept mum on this as we had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2023 elections, Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.


We've learnt not to bother ourselves anymore to avoid unnecessary mentions from nonentities.
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. [/quote]This your anti-igbo propaganda will not help you.

dominique:
It's the way you men absolve yourselves of any wrongdoing for me. You said fear women then went on to say it was the lawyer that made the girl set the security man up. If there's anybody we should be fearing, it's the pedophile lawyer who wants to ruin the lives of both the girl and the security guard but you passively mentioned him as if what he's doing is not out of the ordinary. For every wayward corrupt girl out there, there's a man that made her that way. Swallow that with your red pill

I'm highly disappointed by this your comment Dominique. Are you saying men teach girls how to tell heinous and scandalous lies against them?

BigYash:
Ahahahaha ,e pain you. You party wants the same person you claimed wasn't good o. So,I hope you now understand where you belong?

Don't mind him. He also broke rule 19. Seun Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique justwise broke rule 19. Do not use alternative accounts after you have been banned.

BENCHOKCONSULT:
Wrong candidate. Dakuku stands a better chance than this Tonye Cole. I repeat, wrong move. APC will lose Rivers State again.

Exactly! Peterside would have given Rivers PDP a run for their money. And the Magnus Abe faction will still be a factor as they're desperate.

He's been abysmal as a player but needs as much humanly support as possible.

Lol, Zelensky will be low key regretting his actions by now. The peeps who egged him on have left him to his fate with the US not left out. It'll take Ukraine ages to recover from this all because they installed a US puppet and comedian as President.

BloomingDale:
Don’t you think it will be better and less stressful to date your fellow men since you guys hate women so much? The energy expended just hating seems too much.

Keep quiet if you have nothing meaningful to say.

Animegirl:
Put the microphone on speaker.

Men if you can't carry nine month old pregnancy or go through labour, you don't have any right to ask us what we bring to the table. T for thanks.

How did this bollocks hit front page?

My fellow men, we can do better. Collecting things back from someone you dated is very low class and childish. And worse when done publicly. It's very bad. No matter your reason, don't.

If I were the guy, i would do worse

LeoDeKing:
Better die while hustling than stay alive and be poor. This is a very common expression among "dem". The thief is actually a hustler and he must have learnt this type of "hustling" from "dem"

We know what they mean by hustling.

That is why Lagos state is populated by both male and female "hustlers" from those villages.

Evans is a great hustler.

You lack sense

APC NWC cashout will be massive. You don't expect them to make it cheaper when Tinubu is contesting. Even at 1bn, it's chicken change for him.

You guys are very funny. You don't know that PMB can allow it to be an open contest yet still decide who will be voted for and the consequences of voting against his preferred candidate.

The biafran cause was going to suffer setbacks upon the capture of Nnamdi Kanu. Nothing new here.

SilentQueen:
We now live in a world where the younger ones are now even more exposed and spoilt than we the elders!

Where there is no shame and guilty conscience anymore

Yeah but we will not underestimate the facts that some men are peodophile and perverts who exposed our little girls to all these sexual activeness at young age

[b]Men are the problem of the world[/b

Women are great tribulations to the world

siofra:
I still maintain that an adult Nigerian man groomed her.

You can't prove that. You weren't there at all. So much for your poorly fabricated statistics.

SenecaTheYonger:
She wasn’t groomed. She was exposed to pornography and social media at a young age. She has an SM page with over 204k. She fvcks like someone who has watched a lot of x videos and wants to practice.

You’re a loser.

Don't mind her. This is why I detest them. They're quick to blame men for their own shortcomings. They never take responsibilities for themselves or their actions but are quick to term Men as irresponsible. Siofra, Pocohantas & co.

BadeAnimashaun:
My brother. Go to her house to rant about what. I keep praying to God to give me the heart to forgive because going to her house is not enough. Its worth killing. But I thank God I'm out. Will keep pushing

God will see you through bro. I pray you find your feet and live as though those stormy years never existed.

helinues:
Hurray, it's time to fry pap.

What role has CAN beer played in contributing their quota towards the development of this country?

What role has mumuric contributed to the society at large?

Anything associated with Tinubu and SW is always propaganda. They live and die on propaganda.

helinues:
Could you point out to where I have attacked Obi or ever called him Peter Obi?

Please don't shift goal post

That's not the point. Focus on your Bat and Osinbanjo and leave Obi alone. Period!

helinues:
Asking question is now a sin right?

Focus on Tinubu and Osinbanjo and leave Peter Obi alone. If he's Peter Peter Obi why are you bothered?

helinues:
After the 2015 election lose, both Atiku and Obi have not been involved in most of the governorship elections Pdp contested for. Edo, Bayelsa, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti.

How weighty is Peter Obi when it comes to regional Politics or national politics in Pdp?

Let's make the discussion civil.

How is that your business?

Mr. Man she was actually referring to real men, and not a Broke, childish guy like you
Good day

You're a slothful slut from the hinterlands, bred from murky waters and leftovers. Queen of the downtrodden bitches. To help with you.

makavell7:
You must be a political newbie to be mentioning most of these northern states as tinubu supporters, thats why the northerners will always outclass and outsmart southerners any day or time in politics.
Why do you think the presidency and its backers are insisting on open secret ballot, abi una think say na lagos Apc convention wey tinubu go go stand behind ballot and all asslicking party members go stand behind am. As it is i can clearly see that tinubus cup is now full! He would be seriously disgraced in the Apc primaries and after that lagos will be taken from apc in the upcoming guber elections

Are you saying Tinubu will be completely finished by June?

Hmmmm
