GuyWise: Politics? Is that a reason for a Gov who may claim in the future to culturally be Igbo, named a State project after the name of a man who killed over 3m of his people and destroyed the cities of his kinsmen...
Was it also politics that made these same people to seize buildings and land that were not theirs after the war?
Politics is not the problem, hatred is the problem and now we are out to give them double of that hatred.
bros he is a politician and he is a snake... Go to an ikwerre group. Ogba group and ekpeye group and see how toxic this people are... Go and witness it first hand... The more we want to make this people see the more they think we are unity beggars
I am from Abia. Umuahia is my hometown. We in Abia have cultural affinity with upland rivers, especially obiookpor, ndoki and ASA. These are core Igbo communities in river state. Pls Google it up or more information.
Obiookpor is somewhat considered ikwerre too, They are militantly Igbo. What do you say to that? Some of The ikwerre that I know are proudly igbo. I will not be so quick to condemn all of them.
lol. Go and join their groups nah and see for ur self ... Mr man... Ekpeye Ogba and Ikwerre are desame
safarigirl: tell me ONE time when SS has voted away from the pattern of SE
There are still the Igbo tribe in the same SS and in places like Delta and Rivers they have a substantial size. In the history of Nigeria, the SS has always aligned with the SE politically, the fact that you are here spinning your own tale cannot and will never change thay
Maybe you get one uncle wey win comot for VP. Just remove your mind from there because e no dey happen. And if you don't know, the SE is not permanently PDP. They are a people with their own mind, they do not get moved easily. If you mess with them, they will not lie down and take rubbish.
If PDP has sense, they know who to give VP to and your SS is nowhere near the equation. Hold that Chairmanship position with tight hand. We are not stupid
petsam11: Bros! Initially I didn't want to talk I even crossed your comment and read till page 3 but I saw u replying to some ppl who quoted u and now I said I must talk...
Firstly, You just commented like the SE/SS are having issues without knowing that they are close pals regardless of what u might hear or see... And u forgot that SE voted Jonathan like their own son (don't tell me it is politics)
Brother! Pls, never u take the Southeast for a ride! Forget what u read and see online... Those people are bunch of highly enlightened people like someone stated above... An average Igbo Man can never be pushed around talk less pushing him around anyhow... He and even she knows his/her Onions! So u think that, should Atiku and PDP decide to choose somebody else as Atiku's running mate the SE will act like zombies and still vote PDP...
Note: I am not a fan of where a leader comes from, all I am against is tyranny and wickedness against the other human being like we are seeing today... Even the blind can see it and the deaf hear it clearly!
So like I was saying, don't ever think that the SE can be taken for a ride... Even if they eventually vote for PDP, know u that they have their reasons... But to think that they have no choice is leaving in fools paradise...
Imagine what has been going on in the East wen someone and ppl who don't occupy any political posts in Nigeria would tell ppl to sit at home and they do it willing because they know that they are fighting for a cause... Now, have u bothered to ask what this kind of thing, the consequences that this can cause the PDP and Atiku if the SE and as well all Igbos voters outside the SE (just like someone above helped enlighten you that more Igbo "voters" are outside the southeast than in the Southeast) decide to sit at home on that very day Not because they were told by any group to sit at home but because they feel that in reality, they wer insulted and looked down on
Do u think that PDP can really go fsrther the way they want Don't believe all this talks online that SE and Igbo votes don't matter... Let me tell u brother, in this present election, it (more than) really matters if u are really a political analyst u should understand and know better!
You cannot insult an Ignore man brother and just go free you use pay one way or the other (don't call it cheastbeating). You might think he (Igbo Man) loves money, yes he does love money and so does everybody else! But most Igbo men are highly enlightened... They will eat your money and sit at home when provoked and when they hate you! That's an Igbo man for you! They will eat your money and do the right thing! They ain't Zombies!
Mind you, this is a North-North election, everybody needs to get and break more barriers than he can get so as to urge mentioned for the divides in the NW/NE
Please SE/SS are brothers and friends all in one! Forget what u hear about Igbo ppl wanting to take SS oil. Now everybody knows who the real "takers" of Sas oil are, whether the SE get oil and whether they have many other means of livelihood!
Note: #SoutheathernsAreNotZombiesAsManyThink Peace be unto you! Guten Morgen!!!
pazienza: We were all here when Amaechi was furious with GEJ for granting Abia State her disputed oil wells Rivers state claimed. Amaechi showed his true colors, when he asked GEJ, if "they" (Rivers) are now Biafrans (Igbos). In essence he was subtly reminding GEJ that it is only Igbos that her oil wells had been agreed to be stripped of, by the Nigerian government. GEJ giving those oil wells to Abia State, is akin to giving Rivers people, the Biafran treatment. Recall how Mammar Nasir boundary adjustment committee in 1976 took away Oil producing parts of old Imo state Now called Egbema and Obigbo and added to Rivers state.
But today, whenever it's convenient for Amaechi to escape Igbo criticism, he tells us that he is Igbo, and gullible Igbos would be too blind to see through this charade. Amaechi claim Igbo, yet he is the minister of transport under whose regime a railway scheme was being proposed that totally skipped SE. Under his regime, SE AIIA has been left to rot while PH airport keeps receiving all the attention needed.
superlightning: Tomorrow people from these same areas will come out and say that omehia does not speak or them.
Are you also aware the obiookpor in river state stood with IPOB in 2017?
Ndoki, ASA are all parts of abia state but a part of these communities were balkanized to river state. Are you not aware? You are either ANAMBRA or ENUGU so you won't know.
Are you aware that there is IPOB thriving in every local government area of river state.
By the way did obiano, an Igbo man,speak in favour of ipob? So its not about ikwerrre or no ikwerre. Its about the individual.
mr man. We are talking about ikwerre Ogba and ekpeye .. For ndoki. Ndi egbe na mma Igbo etche and co we can accept but for the trio i will never accept. They are opponunistics..chameleon
frankfrancis871: I support the @bolded and I support the unification of the IGBO race from Igbos from Enugu, Anambra, middle belt, delta, Ebonyi etc to cameroun to equatorial guinea.
Curlieweed: Don't waste time on those guys. They're not worth the time or effort.
It's too tangential to waste time on.
WE have much bigger fish to fry.
Deltayankeeboi: What has happened has happened. South South are solidly behind Atiku.
Our amiable president GEJ has given his support for Atiku. I can personally assure you that Atiku is getting 100% votes from SS.
Buhari's name is a curse in Niger Delta. Buhari's presidency was sold on deceit. Nigerians are wiser now.
2015 was a very big mistake which must be corrected for our nation to progress again.
In 2015, most people voted against GEJ not because they thought buhari was the messiah but because they felt GEJ had not done much and were not impressed.
Now look at Buhari that has been tested, what has he done? Since 2015 till now, no single capital project has been commissioned, no economic blueprint, no idea, no agenda, he took Nigeria into recession in his first year in office. What a clueless president.
Nobody is impressed with this government. Even international bodies are against him. His days are numbered already. The dullard has been tested and rejected.
#atikulation2019!!!
mr man. Niger delta is anoda ball game. What did you want Jonathan to do.. They spend huge money paying them monthly stipend. 65 ooo naira every month. Imagine if all that money is Chanel to public development
BrokenTV: It is because of this mindset that the president or the vice president will come from this particular region that we are still in this kind of situation, when are we going to start thinking about the capability and integrity of the person involved instead of looking at it from ethnic perspective. It is as a result of this that a man that is not qualified to lead Umunna meeting was made a President.
naijaking1: I am 100% proud Igbo, but strategically, Fayose will be a better choice. Igbos trust Fayose more than some efulefu Igbo men like Orji Kalu, and Okorohausa, etc! Go Fayose!
story. Lol. Continue dreaming.. The day he picks that slot he turns an enemy
frankfrancis871: with all due respect, stop insulting the IGBO race. You sound like one who is confused whether he's Igbo or not! I guess you have never lived in the north if not you won't be saying these, many serious people are working to unite the Igbo race and you're here causing division! Any Igbo man who choses to identify with the larger Igbo race should not cast out, the only reason I'd let you do that is when his motives are for political reasons and nothing more! Please unity is the power, have a good morning..
i entered that group and almost cried to see them cursing igbo... Their air is polluted.they seat on wealth but nothing to show for it. They rather collect 65 ooo monthly stipend than fight their oppressots. Let them continue deceiving themselves
fratermathy: Most of the political pundits online seem to tie the fate of the SS and SE together without realising the diversity of political views and ethnic interests in the SS. The SE is one but the SS is a group of more than 30 disparate people. To bring them as one, Atiku needs to give us a rallying point and that rallying point has to be a VP slot.
The swing region is the SS. The SE has no choice but to vote Atiku. The SW may not vote for Atiku regardless of who his VP is but the SS can give Atiku a bloc vote of 8m if he plays his cards right. He has to get a VP from the SS. SE is already certain for him. SW will be difficult for him even with a VP slot but a SS VP slot will consolidate his message of restructuring and true federalism. It will fetch him votes from states that may otherwise be divided and it will also curry him the favour of SEners that may not want a SWner as VP as well as SWners that many not want a SEner as VP. Its a win-win.
All he needs to do is to get someone with widespread influence in the SS. Then he can promise the SW the position of SFG or SP.

Not because they were told by any group to sit at home but because they feel that in reality, they wer insulted and looked down on
