If APC fields a southerner against a Northerner, what do you think will happen?

They are not being smart, rather than pitting the NC against the NE, they will unite the North while dividing the south as the SS and SE won't agree to SW presidency, and the North will simply unite as usual around the Northern candidate.

APC is allowing southern greed to destroy their chances.

igbo boy analyzing national politics from Enugu

Why is what the Ewedu and Amala party your business?

From hating on Yoruba dominance in music to hating on Yoruba presence in Nigeria Politics.


And the most funny part is that you lick Northerners hass more than anyone else.

NaijirianKing:
Power will rotate to the NE zone, one of the only zones to have the presidency. If you don't like, field your champion and let's meet at the polls.

2000-08 was ruled by the SW
2008-10* the NW
2010-2015 the SS
2015-Present the NW

As anyone can see, the North only has had 8 years thus far, while the south has been in power for 15 years and still wants more. This is the definition of greed. The North is not deceived.

Anyone in favor of justice, equity and zoning should solidly be behind the NC as the NC has had neither the President nor the VP. We will accept a NE candidate as it seems the PDP will zone the ticket to the NE, but APC should also zone the ticket to the NC and allow these zones to taste power. Instead, the south wants to greedily take every position even though they have been in power the most leaving the North to rot...

Enough is enough. We will meet them at the polls...

Igboboy why are you so obsessed with Yorubas and why do you want to be a slave to Northerners forever?

How is Itsekiri an Ediod Language?

And I laugh at the Ondo state on your list most especially Akoko Ondo

Well! we win some and lose some


We were a bit unlucky and we weren't clinical enough

Tunisia executed the perfect game plan..


Let's hope for better results with the world cup qualifiers.

Newton85:
There are more Blacks in the English football team? Since when?

There are more Blacks in English Football team than they are represened in other aspects of British life

That is exactly what I said

In the first 11 positions, one will always find 4 to 7 black players playing in the English football team but they don't get such proportional representation in other aspects of life.

maestroferddi:
Over-hyped Asisat Oshoala, is it not during her time that the Falcons are consistently failing to qualify for international tournaments?

That was unimaginable before now....

Yes, because she would play the 11 positions on the field?

Even the great Messi struggled to win any major thropy for his country until the recent Copa America victory..

IGBOSON1:
In which case, you were agreeing with the OP then, so why make it a us-vs-Igbo thing! It seems to me you're the emotional one for taking offence that he used the position of Igbos in the super eagles to make his point! He used Igbos and the super eagles as an example because presently, of the three main ethnicities, the Igbo have ended up with the short end of the stick....been marginalised and treated so badly by the present Buhari regime, while his Fulani ethnic grp have been disproportionately favoured the most of the three! Any example could be used by anyone to show that merit benefits the country more than the bigotry, nepotism and anti-Igbo agenda enthroned by this Buhari admin! One of your brothers chose to use tech and IT, which would still be valid!

You are confused

So how will electing an igbo man in particular solve the problem of Nigeria when it's the system that is bad?

And I don't know how igbo people are getting shortchanged in Nigeria when Igbos have headed multiple aspects of the Nigerian government and society at large with the exception of presidential powers.

Infact, igbo men were lucky enough to become the military head of state and vice president before Yorubas were lucky enough to get to the same positions.

Like I said earlier, You guys are too emotional and don't even see when you are hardly making any sense..

IGBOSON1:
Quit being a smartass! You know what exactly the OP meant, yet you're now trying to make it look like a Igbo vs evryone else thing! If you, a Yoruba man, can't admit that lack of consideration for merit in leadership recruitment in this Buhari regime is a big problem for this country, then you are part of the problem!

The performance of Igbo governors, at best, can't be said to be any better or any worse than that of governors in ALL other states/regions in the country as well as governance at the centre, and your zeroing in on Igbo governors is just you trying to be diversionary and avoid the cetral issue at hand! The lacklustre performance of state governors and governance at the centre (Abuja)....together with lack of consideration for merit, are all sympthoms of the broken and warped structure, political-economy and constitution the country has operated under different guises from 1966 to date!

@ emboldened

How is this totally different from what I stated earlier?

I said Nigeria is in a bad shape because of the system of government we operate which encourages lazy government officials.

Even if Mandela somehow returns from the dead to govern Nigeria, I honestly don't think he will change much with the system of government we operate.

I think you people are too emotional.

Antivirus92:
moses simon is now a yoruba,,,,i remember how your people use to claim that yorubas don't answer such name,,,
let a crime be reported now with moses simon as the perpetrators name and see yorubas deny bearing such name.

He is Moses Ajala Simon.

is Ajala an igbo name?

tandy2013:
Nigeria is not doing well because Igbos which are the light of the country are suppressed and marginalised. Even the so called federal character is not being implemented by Buhari govt ....every thing northernised.

How well are Igbo governors doing in their own region?

Nigeria is not doing well because we operate a system of government that doesn't encourage government officials to work hard..

We simply share the allocation gotten from crude oil and Ports revenue.

It has nothing to do with any tribe in particular.

tandy2013:
Just check the entire team. Even if 5 igbos are in first eleven, let the same apply in all sectors in Nigeria .
All we Igbos want is meritocracy.

Football is not all sector

It's like saying because there are more successful Yoruba musicians than other tribes in Nigeria, then every other aspects of the Nigerian life must have a greater representation of Yorubas.

It doesn't work that way not even in the most advanced of societies

There are more Blacks in the English football team and English sport life than they are represened in every aspect of the English life.

You need to learn to separate different facets of life.

foryourmindnow:
Will Nigeria vote Obama? Yes or no?

No need for long story. We have people that are more or less better than Obama here.

The difference between Nigeria and USA is that they elected Obama, elected Trump, didn't like him, impeached and voted him out.

In Nigeria, Bullhari comfortably won two terms despite spending 200 days in hospital in London. Hahaha

Because most Nigerians are programmed to choose Buhari and Tinubu over people like Obama, Igbos like me are not comfortable.

Let Nigeria be on their own, electing Buhari and Tinubu. Let Igbos be on their own electing Kingsley Moghalu, Peter Obi or even Sullivan Chime.

I am going to pretend it's not Igbos that Elected Ipeazu, T Orji and Orji Uzor Kalu.

And I am going to pretend Magalu has actually won counselorship election in igbo land, while I pretend Peter Obi and Chime turned igboland to African Dubai.

mrvitalis:
So no more zoning then let's agree on that ...
Igbos are not in a hurry to be president

But saying its the turn of south without saying where in south is what we are against

Let north keep ruling then

Look wether you like it or not, the North can always decide to remain powerful even without your permission.


So I don't understand your emotions..

foryourmindnow:
Hahaha. Just say Nigeria's politics is about ethnic and religious bigotry.

Obama won two terms of US presidency but blacks in America are just 12% of the population.

We're still saying the same thing. If Nigeria will be electing core officials by who rigs election the most (many people who voted Buhari are Fulani from Niger and Mali) and not competency, then Igbos don't want to be part of such country.

Obama won by winning 90% of minority votes and 48 to 50% of white votes.

If he didn't manage 48 to 50% of white votes he wouldn't have won the election.

He had to work hard to promote his policies amongst those white voters not by insulting them.

There's no where in the world where majority don't carry the vote.

mrvitalis:
Nigeria agreed on zoning ..which is rotating president along the six geopolitical zone ...what's wrong with asking for that to be maintained ?

Nigeria never agreed on micro zoning not even zoning.

Buhari has been contesting elections since the days of Obasanjo.

foryourmindnow:
Good.

The presidents of Nigeria since we returned to democracy 20 years ago to 2023.

Yoruba: 8 years
Fulani: 9 years
South south: 5 years.

The people managing the security framework of Nigeria currently.

Police: Fulani
Army: Fulani

Bruv, Football performance is never about population otherwise Cameroon shouldn't have more Afcon thropy than Nigeria.

On the other hand, Politics and democracy is the function of population. So majority will always carry the vote.

The North has determined the president of Nigeria almost singlehandedly since we returned to democracy because of their population.

mrvitalis:
What Igbos want is merit 100% and equity simple

But we know we can never get that ...that's why Biafra agitation would never die

There are hundreds of tribes in Nigeria.

Many of them have not even headed the Nigerian senate talkless of going for presidency.

So what merit are you talking about?

Majority always carry the vote in any democratic election

Igbos should try and convince the majority to vote their candidate rather than focus on tearing the candidates of others down.

The starting line up for against Egypt had

3 Yorubas , 5 Igbos, 1 Akwaibom ahd 2 northerners

I don't know where you saw this igbo and Edo domination..

Goal scorers so far

2 Northerners, 1 Yoruba, 2 igbo guys and One Akwaibo man

Rahkman:
Eygpt go remove this ivory Coast

The same Egypt that narrowly avoided this type of scoreline against Nigeria?

yemmit90:
If Sierra Leone lose this match, we are left with 3rd best from group F, which could be Gambia or Tunisia. Mali will definitely get a draw against poor Mauritania.

is comoros out of the picture?

BeeSkills:
Lets not make it difficult for ourselves abeg, just give me Gambia

I more scared of inform Gambia and a weak Tunisia side.

realestate99:
I have never loved Ghana from day one, they see everything as competition with Nigerians, My Ghanaian teacher then always throw unnecessary subtle jibes against Nigeria every time, I think it is an acute inferiority complex.

I can never forget how a Ghanaian man mocked us when we were returning back home when Denmark vandalised Nigeria's pipeline by 4 goals to 1 in France 98, so I was happy when Gyan missed the penalty kick that ought to take them to a world cup semi final in South Africa, the funny thing was, most Nigerians were supporting the Ghanaians that day, but they do not understand how petty Ghanaians can be over little achievement.

so earlier today, I prayed that God should please use Comoros as Jericho wall against Ghana and alas when I got home and checked my phone I saw 3-2 in favour of Comoros, now I can sleep soundly.

Chairman, calm down Small.

I no really fancy Ghana but don't you think you self don get hatred for your heart pass Ghanaians own

Mummy GoGo sorry mummy GO hotel is the abode of devil

The VAR decisions today has been poor.

Very very very very poor

Barrister026:
Egyptian dey ball.


They play european football.


I still dey wonder how we take beat them.



Their football is more interesting than our nigeria own.


So fluently and connecting

@ emboldened

Answer to your question:On his day, Ndidi is one of best defensive midfielder in the world

He knows how to break up play very easily.

Watch the match again and see how many time Ndidi disturbed Egypt flow.

shevchenko:
Egypt just hit the bar again
Honestly we are lucky to have beat them

They were actually lucky to have only lost by one goal.

We totally dominated the game with more chances to score than them.

Nisiw365:
Most returnee who are from lagos are awori and egun coupled with the fact that eguns are from badagry area of lagos state

This is a terrible lie

Most of them were originally captured off the hinterland of Yoruba land..

Alot are the Egbados of today.

Huracio:
yes ooo, most people do think there are no original Lagosians as Yoruba but when they read, they will understand more.the Benin descendants are probably the greatest beneficiaries of Lagos today, na dem get Lagos islands and their King too.

Oba of Lagos is Bale Idumota.

All the kings on Lagos island are Awori

e.g Oniru, Onikoyi etc.

Since I am not educated, was my reply typed in Yoruba?

Never heard of the chemical that causes animals to die after 16hrs. Kindly help me with name.

You have never heard of powerful pesticides that can kill cow when they ingest it?

Ahmed0336:
Ask people wey cows die for their farms as a result of this approach how e end.

The ones that didn't spray chemical, what is the end result for them?

Were they not killed eventually?

You either surrender your land to them or get killed trying to defend it.
