Lagos-Star:
Not suprised a bit. Another Igbo man taking over from a Yoruba man. Well done Madam Minister. We siddon dey look o.

And some wonder why other ethnics dont want an Igbo man in Aso Rock.

Stakeholder pressure my foot!

who dash monkey banana? Demuren is from Edo State.

APC = ASSOCIATION OF PAST/PRESENT CRIMINALS.

Negro_Ntns: you got it wrong..... Igbo is ungrateful, very ungrateful. Anyway, let me hush. We are watching to see what you will do.

And you pay ''ungratitude'' (as you allege) with economic and physical strangulation, and even literally killing them off secretly

And an Igbo has to pay homage and dobale to fellow humans for living in a part of his own country just because he is not born there, right?

Negro_Ntns: Taken from report of events in 66 as Igbos ridicule their Yoruba hosts on the streets of Lagos. As it was then....so it is now!

You are making real sense. Yorubas bear grudge against Igbos over alleged events of the 1960s, even after they joined the North to try to kill off Igbos then. That grudge is the reason Fasola has been decimating Igbos in Lagos.

truth4meal: your went to school to learn how to read and write but not how to think right. What you just demonstrated here is foolishness and high grade folly - Ladipo mkt has it is today has out-spanned the mkt to residential areas of mushin. It has polluted the environment with not just filth but also crime and ethnic pompusity. All available residential apartment is now a spare part shop with toxic oil everywhere on every houses. Its the job of the govt to respond to such matters irrespective of the ethnic group. You people are just causing disunity with progress while hiding under Nairaland's anonymity. How many of people like you can display ur stupidity in the broad view of people's conference? How many of u can really boast of your love for the igbos when nid be and of course not under the shield of anon...I will only single ur stupidity out cos right thinking Igbos knws the effort and the action will thus benefit all. Go ahead with you doomed campaign of disunity; Eko will never baje!

You deserve an award for those bombs.

And hey! Fasola deported Northerners from Lagos
And hey! The same Fasola wants to be president of Nigeria, to lead Northerners and Igbos among other Nigerians.

3. Fasola closes Igbo-dominated market on allegation of filthy conditions. But this market is not half as filthy as Yoruba-dominated ones such as Ketu Mile 12 among others

2. Fasola and his agents lock up Igbo woman, causing her stress-induced miscarriage

I give three quick examples. Will come with more

1. Fasola and his agents treating Igbo traders like common criminals

dayokanu: Can Ngige deliver his own Region? His region is Jonathans hold so it doesnt make sense to put Ngige on the ticket in any capacity at the risk of losing your strongholds

Buhari/Fashola or Sanusi Fashola is the APC ticket and FYI

No one need SE votes to win the presidency.

Buhari had 13 states in 2011 if SW can deliver the whole 6 states to him then he wins easily 13 +6 = 19 WINNING. regardless of the 98% votes from the SE

So you can go fellate on Retardeen all you want.

Even the PDP knows the danger of the APC alliance thats why they are hesitatnt about returning Retardeen for the 2015 PDP cos it has a possibility of making them lose power. Buhari would win NE and NW 13 states should Tinubu deliver SW its game over

Did Obasanjo deliver his own region?
And BTW, only a daft like you will think that Igbos will be given a chance to be the president of Nigeria (what they have been clamouring for for ages) and will fail to vote for that Igbo man.

I am not surprised though. Are you not the same daftkanu who says Keshi is not Igbo but Nzeogwu is (whereas both come from the same community in DELTA state)? When will you stop your vile double-speak nature?

Gbongbonosi: hmmm shut up igbo they are still Perfect in this business than yoruba idiot

What is the meaning of gbomogbomo again?

APC: SW and North ganging up against SS?

SW and North ganged up against SE in the 60's. Now it's the turn of the SS to be ganged up against by these two groups

They find GEJ unsuitable and they also find Igbos in their APC party unsuitable.

They just want a SWner or a muslim northerner in charge.

Can the SS and SE learn a thing or two from this?

2015 will be a true test of who is more populated in the country, regardless of where indigenes of the different regions reside in within the country.

Human vampires of the SW

pazienza: Yorubas didn't vote for Obj in 1999,because they could afford that luxury,after all,only olu falae and obj were the serious contenders for the presidency then, they figured that either way,they would still win. When ekwueme lost in PDP primaries in 1999,who did you think that the yoruba pdp delegates voted for? Haha!

Contrast this to 2003 when obj was the only yoruba man in the race with a realistic chance,they killed AD and voted for him. Yorubas are tribalistic bunch,don't be swayed by their deceit to cover tribalism with a veneer of patroitism/pro- democratic dividends.

Of course, we know why they did not vote for him in 1999 and why they voted for him in 2003. Only a cow will not see through them.

op IS A Fake Igbo girl.

alj harem: Its like you people just hate Yorubas from the deep of your hearts . If gej does constant electricity then very good, he would be voted for. In the Sw, there are still some pro gej. The fact just remains gej is slow and we need an active president just like Awolowo did for the west. Ojukwu said it himself that he wished Awolowo was the president and others such as the iddeiot above this comment are blinded by tribalism. Look if apc present fashola in any combo, they would win. Mark these words.

Illiterate mallam-Yoruba hybrid.

Our Yansh: Prof. Nwabueze!

What a traitor!!

He is‎​ a disgrace to IGBOs!!!

Why will he criticise an "IGBO" President --- Goodluck Ebelechukwu Azikiwe Jonathan??

Doesn't he know that it's only Yorubas and Hausas that criticise "Our Son"??

No wonder then you see no evil in the two devils, Awolowo and Tinubu. Where have you ever criticized your own when it concerns others? Tribalism don blind you patapata.

ekt_bear: man so this APC merger means that Eko Ile must become an Okorocha fan, no?

Can't wait to see that Eko Ile of a clown eat his own vomit. How life deals people a hand.

pazienza: Nuzo was only repeating Ohanaeze's question,but while ohaneze were indirect and tactical,nuzo was direct and blunt.

Any igboman that cannot see APC for what it is,which is the gathering of the two bed fellows of the civil war fame,to wrestle power out from the east,and re-establish the one-nigeria they fought for,(the one-nigeria controlled economically by yorubas and politically by the north,while the easterners wait for the crumbs) is blind, enough said.

Yes, I have a STRONG feeling that Yorubas are only interested in making sure that GEJ is shoved aside and bringing a Northerner back. Only time will tell if their evil machinations will work.

Yorubas did not vote for Obasanjo in his first term, still he won. Then they supported him in his second term because they realized he is their own
Same should go for Ngige. If Yorubas are serious, he is among the most viable candidates around. Unlike Yorubas with Obasanjo, Igbos will vote for him because that is what they have always wanted: a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction. Those claiming Ngige has not expressed an interest should tell us whether Fasola or anybody else (except Buhari and Gej) has. You guys are propping up Fasola and even Tambuwal (of the same PDP you loath so much). This is double-headed hypocrisy.
