Obiagu1:
Can you actually read? APGA was not an Igbo Party in 1999. Did I say APGA was founded in 1999?
PDP was the Igbo party in 1999.

Do you know how ridiculous you sound. I know you are giving many people a good laugh.

When did PDP become an Igbo party? Is this how you deal with the truth?

Obiagu1:
PDP is an Igbo party. APP (ANPP) is a Northern party. AD is a Yoruba party.
PDP progressed and others failed; just because APGA didn't do well you lost your bearing.

APGA was not an Igbo Party in 1999, a small party founded by an unknown Chekwas Okorie, and remained unknown till Anambra got angry with Ekwueme's PDP, then all of a sudden AGPA is the party of the Igbos. FYI, Ojukwu only changed the image of APGA from one small irrelevant party to a party Igbos want as a substitute to PDP.

It is not because APGA lost that I am upset. Look at the Igbo political unit. It is in disarray. While you have other regions coming under 1 tent, the Igbo look rudderless.

Maybe it is the belief in every Igbo man that he is a king, when he is actually not.

You think PDP is going to reward an Igbo man for his support nationally? The answer is no. PDP suffered heavy losses in the SW, but I am definitely sure that they will reward the ndi Yoruba before they do the Igbo.

Obiagu1:
When I reread your post I feel like giving you a whack.

Tell me the difference between NCNC and PDP except that PDP lasted longer?
NCNC would have taken the direction of PDP if it stayed longer.

Are you in touch with reality? NCNC is PDP now? Are you smoking Igbo? I see you are in denial, but the truth is always bitter. You are from Anambra right? Ofe olugbu masirio ndi Anambra. . .

Give us back Dr. Akanu Ibiam.

Anambra Ndigbo!

Kowara m ihe mere.

Ihe nile e zughi oke n'ala Igbo.  

Mehn my people suck at politics. We need to stick to village politics, because national politics is not something we excel at normally.

Too much celebration from our SW brethren.

What is wrong with the Igbo voting bloc?

There is no direction. I said this a couple of months ago, but the regular Igbo stalwarts on Nairaland told me that I should calm down and everything will be ok. Now looking at this election, I can finally say that the Igbo do not speak with one voice. I can only hold my head down in shame.

APGA = Fraud

Ohanaeze = Fraud

Igbo Elite = Fraud

The Igbo elite have sold our birthright for the highest bidder. It is simply a charade. Our neighbors laugh at us and see how the once mighty Igbo are a shadow of our former glory.

As a NL poster said, "Oh Akanu Ibiam, Okpara, Mbadiwe, Wachuku, Osadebey, rescue your children for their custodians have lost control of the steering wheel."

Nairaland is on fire. These fights are not the normal fights.

Even people who belong to the same state and ethnicity are fighting each other.

Ileke-Idi, it is not because you are a Yoruba. It is because you are a woman.

That was a joke by the way. . .

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=642832.msg8096697#msg8096697 date=1302468361]Nah. I just hate EzeUche because he does not have enough control to keep his own words; "deal, I will not post on tribalistic threads".[/quote]I do not consider this thread tribalistic. It is more regional than tribalistic, and I have kept my word.

Let us leave Ileke-Idi out of this. She wants to sample the Igbo man, so let us not ruin her appetite.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=642832.msg8096432#msg8096432 date=1302465975]No, I love her. Cant you tell from my previous posts?[/quote]No need for the sarcasm.

What should I believe?

People are spreading false information. Shame on everyone who is participating in this confusion!

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=642832.msg8096287#msg8096287 date=1302464884]Dora won? oga a, which kain democracy rigging is this? [/quote]Auntie Dora won fair and square. Shouldn't you be happy a woman has won?

This Basseti individual is calming my restless Igbo spirit.

Thank you GEJ for giving us credible elections.

Nigerian Democracy Growing Up

A ruling party’s acceptance that it will sometimes do badly in elections as well as win them can be a sign of how well democracy is taking root.

In that regard, Nigeria’s national assembly election already shows some progress.

The mere fact they happened was a big relief to a lot of Nigerians after multiple postponements and a bloody run-up.

The fact that they so far appear to be some of the best anyone can remember is an unexpected bonus.

Having covered various elections in Nigeria since the mid-1990s, I’ve never seen one with so few reports of ballot stuffing, bullying or other forms of rigging or where there was so little rancour at the voting stations.

It’s not to say that things went perfectly, but the imperfections of the past dwarfed what we saw at this vote. Many had believed Nigeria could never hold a credible election and this could help to answer such critics. Africa’s giant might even set an example for the continent.

Early this morning, I was at one of the centres outside Abuja where figures are tallied up.

Everyone had been there overnight. Everyone had been laboriously noting down the results. Everyone was satisfied with the way things had gone – even the losers, which in these wards included the ruling People’s Democratic Party.

“There is no instance of trying to rig, that’s why the other parties are moving in,” said one ruling party representative, Theodore Ochei. “Even if we lost as a party, we as politicians have more respect. Our leaders might sit up and begin to respect people’s views.”

Perhaps.

The latest figures show the PDP set to see its majority weakened substantially in parts of Nigeria – something the party’s leaders in the past would certainly have found impossible to stomach.

While some Nigerians might be worried by the trend of regionalisation that the vote shows up, it does suggest votes actually had some bearing on those who were elected.

It should be remembered that this is still only one vote.

The presidential election is next Saturday and state governorship ones follow after that. The stakes in those are higher and the national assembly elections will certainly come as a warning to those in power.

The question is whether they will campaign more determinedly, but accept a process that few had believed could be so effective or start working harder to subvert it.

Funny or sad how dayokanu likes a party who hated his uncle.
