Bet9Ja, Pornography, Free MTN adverts is taking over this website and making it look more and more like a dustbin, its like Seun has reached his peak here and doesnt want to put measures to block fake email accounts used for these useless post

They should return to their NEXT LEVEL, Borno where they ran away from gave Buhari close to 1 million votes

Did American and EU observers supervise the election in the North where much of the rigging normally takes place?
Did observe elections in Borno, Yobe, Katsina, Zamfara? No
Did they observe elections in Ekiti, Enugu, Oyo? YES
The avoided areas where bandits and Boko Haram operates which then 'achieved' over 90% voter turnout.
They were all concentrated in the South

BUSINESSARENAA:
It's high time Nigeria started using full electronic voting, it will reduce a whole lot of mess in the System.

Buhari rejected it already.

Cute kids, meanwhile in Akwa Ibom one poor bastard will say his children are witches and throw them out to the streets for an oyinbo woman to pick up on the advise of a fake prophet, meanwhile, we have never seen a witch child at Government House Uyo

Poverty you are an idiot

At least begging is better than stealing....

Northerner mentality. Bara yafi sata.
It has kept them down to the point of electing a Buhari

slawomir:
learnt a lot in this election

Despite the fact that we are not disturbed by heardsmen in Edo state but we wanted to help the northern people and Benue to end the killings by voting for atiku by putting our self through stress and risk to vote and defend it when it was obvious that the government of Edo is APC and the chairman of APC is oshiomohole. Still we did it and battle it for them. PDP won
We battled one APC candidate who wanted to sneak into INEC office when APC was losing in ikpoba okha
Some guys in western boys fought hard to secure ballot papers when APC thugs were destroying ballot papers and armed police men didn't do anything.

But what did we get betrayal from north and Benue
I was surprised to see the number of people who still voted for APC in Benue

Isoright!!! Anything that happened to them now is their business
We tried
I give up

If i hear any bad news from that region from now on i will just type '"enjoy your next level"

And thunder will fire anybody that says we should pray for Kaduna, Zamfara, Borno and Benue

@bolded

Bros I cna feel your pain, voting to defend people who dont care much about their safety but are more concerned about having an Igbo man as VP, Ohaneze Ndigbo donated food items to victims in Benue, took the herdsmen killings to the international community, organized protests at foreign embassies only to be stabbed in the back by the same people who formed the bulk of the killer soldiers who fought Biafrans during the civil war

Buhari will burn down the country than accept defeat at the court

This is to encourage young Igbos post election and not a divisive post.
Please dont see it as offensive.

We do what we do as a result of who we are!

We are Igbos, and proud of it. No apologies.

Igbos are not united!
Igbos are not united!

It was the same people who sell you the stereotype that Igbos are not united that came out, to fight the unity of Igbos at Okota/Ago, other parts of Lagos and Igbo land in general.

Seeing that their narrative is failing, they are now selling another narrative. They are saying Igbos are putting all their eggs in one basket.
How can the whole of the Igbos vote PDP?
Now we are being accused of not being divided enough to spare some votes for APC. Olee ihe emere ya adi uwa mma?

A little history will suffice. We are an egalitarian society. Indirect rule didn't work with Igbos. It worked well with the North and the South West but not with Igbos. Warrant Chiefs didn't help matters either. So really, Igbos are not political lots. Same reason voter aparthy is highest in Igbo land.

But when we take a political stand, we speak with one voice. That is who we are.
We have always done. We did it with Shagari, Obasanjo, Ya'radua and Jonathan. We are doing it against Buhari.

Make no mistake, we have always put our political eggs in one basket and that is who we are. That is why we don't entertain dynasties. The likes of Saraki and Tinubu and Mohammed won't last a decade in Igbo land.
We are decisive and courageous. If that is what you call arrogance, then so be it. But we will never stand on the fence.

I write this because of the young generation of Igbos in Nigeria. Go home to your fathers in the villages and ask questions. Learn how to be Igbo without being apologetic. The first thing people notice about an Igbo man is his enterprising spirit. It is not found anywhere else. Ihe agwo muru aghaghi ito ogologo.

We can't apologize for who we are. But what we do not have is the spirit of Nigerian politics. We don't play the politics of "Master say! Alhaji say! Everyone is a master in Igbo land. Onweghi onye na akpanye ibe ya nri.

The Igwe of my community has no more stake in the affairs of my community than I do. He is more of a representative of the people to the government and the custodian of our tradition than a "ruler" in the real sense of it. That is why we have the cabinet and elders in council.
Igbo amaghi eze.

It is not a bad thing in a sense that decisions are collectively taken, from the household, through the hamlets to the community. It does not make us lawless lots. The consultative mechanism is our strength. Igwe bu ike.

This is the singular reason why the Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo has been able to evolve into that rallying point for the Igbos like the Arewa People's Congress for Northerners, Oodua Peoples Congress and the Afenifere for Yorubas.

Let us all brace up for the times ahead.
Someone who will dislike you will not always need a reason to. Add the ingenuity and hardwork of the average Igbo man to the mix, and dislike quickly turns to hate.

And I understand it. I perfectly do. Its not easy to like someone who comes back to your land, after being sent packing just a few decades ago with just some two pounds and all his properties confiscated by his hosts.

He comes back and acquires them back hundred folds, marries your daughters and prospers with them. Then goes ahead to not only carve settlements in Ojodu and Ojo for themselves, but is about to become a determinant to your political future in a dispensation where you have been promised a second place.

What they may never know is that the ordinary Igbo man is not interested in your presidency. We thrive wherever we go. So when you say we are not strategizing enough for the presidency, we don't see it how you see it.

The average Igbo man simply wants a good environment for his business, and good infrastructure for a decent life. The things which "presidency" has not bestowed on any ethnic group in Nigeria.

The five Igbo states have since 2012 almost consistently occupied the best positions in WAEC and produced the highest number of medical and engineering students in Nigeria.

Check the Igbo business in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Portharcourt. Most are not based on government patronage. We make things out of nothing. Presidency means nothing to an average Igbo man. The ten poorest and educationally backward states in Nigeria are within the regions that have held the presidency within the last two decades.

A good example is the very primary school where President Buhari cast his vote. It was the closest to his ancestral home. A "successful" Onitsha business man who has made money from his trade will know that the church and the school closest to his home is the very yardstick to measure his success. He needs not become president to refurbish them. Ana esi na ulo mara mma puo ama.

THE CONCLUSION

To the young generation of Igbos, I say to you today, Quit trying to impress anyone about how hospitable or detribalized you are!
Nnamdi Azikiwe did it and failed, Jonathan did everything imaginable, things he did not do for his native South South and yet failed. If you think you can please Nigeria, then you have another thing coming.

Look at Benue people, they received the greatest visit of deaths from this government. But they'd rather die some more than let an Igbo man smell the Vice Presidency. And tomorrow, they will also tell you Igbos don't know politics. And you will want to engage them in an argument.

Do not be disturbed when you hear them say we are not united. We have never been that kind of united people. Read our history. Even as Igbos were dying in their hundreds during the pogrom, Gen. Ojukwu, one of the first Igbo men who realized that this "forced marriage" can never work was only "permitted" to embark on the war against Nigeria by seeking the voice of every hamlet, every village and every community. He did not take unilateral decisions.

That's how decisions are taken in Igbo land. We do no alienate those who are in dissent. We do not allow one Tinubu to make decisions for some and another Saraki for others, so that our two eggs are comfortably placed in two baskets. No! We rise to the occasion wherever we are, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, sokoto. Our spirits communicate with each other and not with any leader figure and decide what is best for us. Either you respect us for getting it, or you respect us for trying. This is who we are, and we are not changing it soon. We are Igbos. Deal with it.

I will repeat the last line.

WE ARE IGBOS. DEAL WITH IT.

@dejol88

Firstly, any country that you want to go, don't use agents or send anybody money, especially on this forum. That 6 million naira don enter their brain. Na to use conning ways to extort some money from you if not all.


Secondly, if i were you, i would look for one peaceful African country and establish business in the country. 6 million naira is a chicken change if you want to go to the USA. Some African countries have a favorable conditions for business. Example is Rwanda

But if you want to go to first world country, i would suggest you choose either Germany, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

#Shalom

Rwanda is the fastest growing economy in Africa with quality leadership. Rwanda has been ranked the second most peaceful country in the continent

This article doesnt make much sense. Northerners saw Buhari as a defender of Islam and voted for him. SS/SE and part of SW saw Atiku/Obi as business oriented anti poverty agents and voted for them not because he wanted to sell the loo making NNPC.
Igbos voted for Atiku/Obi because the dread poverty which is seen as will of Allah in the North.

Many Hausa beggars in Lagos spent so much to travel to go and cast their votes for Sai Baba even though he has not told them how he will take them out of poverty; only to return to the streets to beg for sustenance from Igbos, Yorubas, Ibibios, Ijaws etc who wanted to elevate themselves out of economic downturn by voting Atiku/Obi

What do you expect from a Yoruba Muslim who doesn't care about other citizens welfare but to vote for a person who is an Islamic fundamentalist

structuredan:
On what grounds i am from fct and i can categorically tell you that there was never any violence or rigging but come o has pmb forgotten that our senator is gbagyi and gbagyi dominate fct infact in the polling where i worked as inec ad-hoc staff APC got zero over zero from presidential to house of reps

Igbos only vote Gbagyi candidates as a rule in FCT, it was an easy win for Philip Aduda the senatorial candidate

Asshurbanipal:
The election is between sensible Nigerians and idioots. Those mentioning igbo are just stuupid. Are the 10 LGA in ondo made up of igbos?

They mean Ijebu-Igbo

zeromeridian:
Demola thank Igbos for saving your life. The president gave orders to kill people like you, but the Igbos you love to hate saved your life and took you to the hospital.

You guys keep shouting war, you see how your brothers abandoned you to your fate and left you to die in your pool of blood. Not even a single soul of your Yoruba brothers came to save you.

Kudos to my Igbo brothers for saving a life. We refused to carry out Buhari's instructions.

Very kind Igbos who rescued him and took him to hospital and paid for commencement of his treatment. Hausas and Fulanis would not be that forgiving if he had done what he did in the area the dominate

Youths have failed this country, see Yahaya Bello and his poor governance of Kogi state

That man's life is in imminent danger, the last Kano REC got burnt in a mysterious fire after which Idris Ibrahim was appointed IG of Police

CNN is busy trying to do regime change in Venezuela which has more oil than Nigeria

beatcoins:
I have seen the full video where he was lynched and the burning bike was also present. Do your research well before uttering your next words

The Demola guy survived, I have seen the video of him receiving treatment. I hope he has learnt his lesson

Buhari said anyone who snatch ballot box will pay with his life and it was his supporters who broke the rule and paid with their lives.
Say no to jungle justice even if it is coming from the president

We don't need soldiers on elections duties, enough of the nonsense in the South. They have caused more than enough damage in one day just because they legally hold a riffle except if we allow everyone to own a gun, they shoot your relation you take immediate revenge like happened to the OPC guy who shot 2 people and burnt ballot papers

[quote author= post=76046870]SAI BABA ALL THE WAY[/quote]'HIS' hereby?

Soldiers have created so much havoc in this election to the point that they are no longer needed for elections in accordance with the constitution.
They should not be in anywhere close to election venues except to maintain security along the roads only

This is backwards movement, our Democracy is not growing

The guy and his gang shot 2 people, burnt elections materials, inflicted injuries on voters who ran for their lives, then regrouped and metted out Buhari justice on him.
This is why reasonable people warned Buhari about his jungle justice comments

rusher14:
No evidence she's less than 18 years old.

In that case, make Aki and Pawpaw no vote too.

She is not the only one there, you can see several other kids on the queue, Buhari with all his integrity has never for once condemned this kind of fraudulent behaviour of regular underage voting in the North.

Elrufai is desperately trying to ensure that voting will not take place in Southern Kaduna, soldiers are blocking the roads and preventing people in Northern Kaduna from going to vote at their polling units in Southern Kaduna
