Brenbentondiaz:
The British are so scared of the great igbo intellectual ability. I know they would be shaking in their boots during the time you guys were doing that intelligent analysis of how Buhari was cloned to get Jibril el Sudani. Imagine the pandemonium in Britain when they read the intellectual discussion you guys had under the thread below. You're truly the most intelligent tribe in Africa. We are really jealous of you.

Do you doubt the intelligence of the Igbo? Prove they're not.

Ikaeniyan0:
Peter 0bi will never become the president of Nigeria

Be creful what you say. You're one heartbeat away from not witnessing Obi's presidency.

Oriental4:
There's no doubt that Biafra would have been in the league if the Asian Tigers by now had the country been allowed to stand, Unfortunately, not even Africans are aware they're mere pawns in the games of the West. However, I see younger Africans realize something is amiss. See that Burkinabe head of state for instance. I also see Kenyans and South Africans with deep understanding of where Africa's problems stem from.

What can we do since 'we are helpless Africans' who others think for?

Hmmmmmmmm..................DRUGGIIE Country?

What is za solution?

When a country is dominated by crooks

OgaTheTop2:
Peter Obi would have been our president and things would have gotten better with Nigeria and Nigerians.

With Rigging, tribalism, bigotry et al, Nigeria will never progress and enjoy real democracy.

The northerners rigged for Tinubu. It's amusing that they seem to have woken up to their folly. Let's see wht happens this time in 2027

Ofunaofu:
There is an African proverb that states:
One man can cook for an entire crowd, but when the entire crowd cooks for one man, he will not be able to finish the food.

Nigerians are fully aware that they are confronting a notorious D-lord, and they are not taking the matter lightly.

Waiteerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Lifestylecom:
Deputy National Chairman, Labour Party, Dr. Ayo Olorunfemi said, "We have learnt from that mistake and have promptly changed the name to the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.

This is obviously one of the Afuunja moles planted by Tinubu to destabilize Labour Party. Unfortunately for them, their payday is over with Obi the spirit of the party gone.

Kemetian:
Why should Reno respond to your coalition of criminals?

Coalition of has-beens.

Gang of crooks looking for their final payday.

Men approaching their 80s whose only work is to chop our money.

Why should he respond to their latest attempts to fleece the Nigerian people and reverse the economic reforms designed to lift the country?

Next thing you know, these thieves will come in and reinstate fuel subsidies and restore the corrupt dual exchange rates their companies used to do arbitrage and siphon money, driving away investors.

Nonsense.

If you want to send Nigeria backwards, just vote in this irresponsible gang of looters.

What a paradox for someone supporting Ddruggy..

Yankee101:
And you wonder why they insult you left and right
For how much are you ready to suppress the truth and tell lies while people curse you?

I pity the guy based on the curses on his head due to his flippancy. I even suspect he is a Yoruba and should know the danger of the many curses on him for being an APC zone-bee.

DomPerignon:
As at 1960 , Eastern Nigeria was passing strict legislation against public nudity .

All your wall of text ramblings does not in anyway prove you were a civilised people.

Basden's book confirms this not just with its detailed accounts but from its very title : "_Among the Primitive Tribe".

Note the adjective " primitive". No other tribe was referred to as "primitive" other than yours.

The Yoruba race was described as "highly sophisticated". The British met a very well civilised system of governance in the north that they decided to partner with the Fulani hegemony rather than displace them. The British anf past European explorers marvelled at the Bini kingdom.

What then makes you to state that you are the most intelligent race among other races in Nigeria were there are tonnes of historical accounts of Europeans detailing the savagery and barbarity that characterised your people till today?

Cope harder.

You have not contributed anything to the topic: why the smartest tribes in Africa such as the Igbo and Tutsis are hated by people like you. Is it envy or a hang-over from colonial policy of suppressing Africa's most intelligent tribes? Let's see another result in the most industrious African tribes.

Nigerians would want to know how the coalition hopes to stop Tinubu from rigging the 2027 election the way he did in 2023. What assurances do we have that INEC wouldn't switch off the server again after we voted and claim it's ANOTHER GLITCH. Even if they don't, how do we know they wouldn't manipulate it from the backend?

The second question to the coalition is how they hope to effect an electoral reform with a cash-and-carry National Assembly in place. For instance, the man who rigged for Akpabio has been reported to be free despite a court conviction.

Furthermore, what is their backup plan if INEC makes nonsense of our votes again? We saw how Kenyans took back their mandate when an election was rigged. What is the coalition telling us that would assure us that 2027 wouldn't be another grab, snatch and run away urban bandits affair since no single Nigerian is interested in the judiciary and their intrigues?

I promoted my favorite AI:

Here are ten reasons why the opposition coalition (ADC-led alliance) should consider adopting Peter Obi as a consensus candidate for the 2027 Nigerian presidential election, based on the search results:

### 1. **Proven Track Record in Governance**
- As a former governor of Anambra State, Obi was known for prudent financial management, leaving significant savings in state coffers and investing in education and infrastructure .

### 2. **Anti-Corruption Credentials**
- Despite controversies like the Pandora Papers, Obi has maintained a reputation for frugality and accountability, challenging critics to find evidence of stolen public funds during his tenure .

### 3. **Youth and Grassroots Mobilization**
- His "Obidient" movement has energized young voters, with millions of new registrations driven by his campaign in 2023, showing his ability to galvanize a critical voting bloc .

### 4. **Cross-Regional Appeal**
- While his support was initially weaker in the Muslim-dominated north, recent humanitarian efforts (e.g., borehole projects, Almajiri school support) have improved his acceptance there .

### 5. **Economic Policy Focus**
- Obi advocates shifting Nigeria from a consumption-based to a production-based economy, proposing productivity-linked wages and cost-cutting governance reforms .

### 6. **Religious and Ethnic Balancing**
- As a Christian Igbo, his candidacy could address perceived marginalization of the southeast, while his running mate (Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed) helps secure northern Muslim votes .

### 7. **Single-Tenure Commitment**
- Unlike career politicians, Obi has pledged to serve only one term (2027–2031), reducing fears of prolonged power struggles and fostering trust in his reform agenda .

### 8. **Opposition Unity Potential**
- His departure from the PDP in 2023 and subsequent Labour Party alignment show his willingness to break from traditional structures, making him a unifying figure for anti-APC forces .

### 9. **Crisis Management Experience**
- During his governorship, he navigated impeachment challenges and legal battles, demonstrating resilience in turbulent political environments .

### 10. **Symbol of Change Against Status Quo**
- Obi represents a break from the APC/PDP duopoly, appealing to voters disillusioned with establishment politics. His frugal lifestyle contrasts sharply with Nigeria’s "big man" political culture .

### Additional Considerations:
- His policy focus on **security** (dialogue with agitators, military reforms) and **electricity stabilization** aligns with urgent national needs .
- The ADC coalition risks fragmentation without a candidate who can bridge ideological divides—Obi’s mix of pragmatism and idealism makes him a viable compromise .

GodPunishOsu:
Obi can never be my president, I'm a free born and no Osu can rule me and my household.

Your worst fears just got realized boyy

Villagesquare:
On the ballot Paper ADC comes before APC
Good one

All illeterates votes may go to ADC. Anyway, druggieee stands no chance against Atiku and Obi.

gerrardomendes:
Who cares.?

A renowned drug lord is your president. A book haram sponsor is his vice. A us convicted felon is his chief of staff.

Now you can crawl back into your hole. Don't forget to take some agbado with you ...enoyti last you till 2031.

E shock. People who should be in jail in Nigeria or abroad leading the country. E choke o.

izombie:
You guys still talk like votes matter in nigeria. Tinubu would rather sack the whole of inec than to lose in 2027. Mind you, i support obi.

You're very correct. I think the coalition should lay more emphasis on voter sensitization, building anti rigging mechanism and pushing for electoral reform. Tinubu definitely didn't win in 2023 and could pull a wool over their eyes in 2027 and then say as usual,Go to court.

richmond500:
Obi owns 90% southeast, a 40% of SS and 20% of SW.
But I think if he doesn't join the coalition, he will lose grip of the SS and SW as many are rather invested in unseating APC that becoming Obidient

It is quite higher debar rigging. Even Ekiti was rigged for Tinubu as well as Lagos. The man came third without INEC manipulation. The coalition can only succeed with Obi.
SE - 90%
SS - 75%
SW - 55%
NC - 60%
NE - 15%
NW - 20%

Most of the northern APC zone-bees have already cashed out. In fact, a good number of them can afford to hire private jets for local travel. The real losers are the zone-bees from other regions, especially SW, most of whom got nothing from the Buhari blind support. Let's see how Tinubu would reward his ZW zone-bees or whether only his political associates are good enough for the ongoing national looting.

By the way, it's good to see from their chats that even zone-bees acknowledge among themselves that their government is corrupt and incompetent but tries to hoodwink the populace with propaganda.

“The Buhari Media Team was supposed to transition to serve the Tinubu media infrastructure. Many thought someone among them would be appointed government spokesperson,” said another member.

“But when that didn’t happen and when Tope Ajayi got the role, the bitterness escalated.”

This is the consequence of an assembly built on hatred and bitterness on Goodluck Jonathan and his region and the Igbo for supporting him. The same people are now seeking the votes of the same people even though they never got anyone's in the first instance.

What people do not understand is that the world has never really been unipolar. Even when the white man's history claimed Rome was the world power, in far away China, there was a great empire, the Mongolian that balanced things even though the two empires may not have been in regular contact. Even Carthage sort of balanced Rome before it was destroyed. After the fall of Soviet Union, we now have China acting as a counterbalance to the United States.

What you'll notice in all these is that countries that are great consciously project their best through meritocracy. Those that project incompetence end up at the bottom of the race.

It has been established that the colonialists consciously projected tribes and groups who are more amenable to their interests and so less interested in the interest of natives. I think it's intentional because Africans are seen as less human and more of guardians of resources meant to feed the white man's greed. This is why there has been no African country where tribes with innovative and progressive traits were encouraged by the West to control power. This is why both the Tutsis and Igbos had to fight existential wars. The good news for Africa is that the Tutsis succeeded. Now about the Igbos.

Do you know why the Israel-Iran war lasted less than a week while the Israel-Hamas (Palestine) wars has lasted 2 years and counting? The reason is that both countries were prepared. I mean that unlike Hamas, the Iranians had something to bargain with - their missiles with the capacity to deliver warheads on Israel. Why were the Iranians prepared? They recognized the importance of merit unlike African countries like Nigeria still stuck on white man's biases against tribes with innovative traits and superior intelligence. You see, until Africans start asking themselves serious questions, the continent will never stand shoulder to shoulder with any other on earth. It is one thing for other races to regard you as subhuman and another for you not to get your acts together because of petty jealousy

You see Iran, Pakistan, India, Singapore, Malaysia and other near and far east emerging powers? Do you think they are all of superior intelligence than all Africans whose countries are practically moving in circles as warehouses for the white man's vision? Most of these countries got their independence less than 20 years before most African countries did. But today, in terms of progress, the comparison doesn't exist. Why? Africans are fixated on tribal squabbles and envy. They'd rather pull one another down than project merit. I earlier asked why Igbo children would be required to score close to 200 in the same exam some tribes can pass with score of 6. Tribal jealous. The Nigerian government feels that Igbo advancement is a threat to them, not realizing that it is a catalyst to an African renaissance.

Are you aware that as early as 1967 when the Igbo fought for independence under the defunct Biafra, they actually built rockets, missiles, war ships, armoured vehicles, bombs, airstrips, and even refined petroleum? Feats that Nigeria cannot accomplish today without paying the white man. Something must be wrong somewhere. Now let's compare... Are you aware that the nuclear bomb world powers are fixated on today was first muted and so originated from Germany? Even missile technology that gave birth to space technology and the jet engine? Yet when the Allies defeated Germany, they embraced these technology from the defeated Germans and consolidated it? But in Nigeria, all Igbo war technology was buried probably under the supervision of the British colonialst. Why? They see Africans as subhumans who should never rise to counterbalance their global dominance.

Why are Africans different? Why is Africa the only continent where all it's wealth serves the interest of white man's greed? Why don't Africans ask themselves why a white man should come to Africa and take her gold, silver, diamond, crude oil, gas, copper, cobalt and other non replenishable resources and leave the black man with paper the same white man prints in his country? In summary, the reason is that most African tribes are not really intelligent, MOST. That's why theor natural inclination aligns with the white man's policy of suppression of the few who are and so ask the right questions.

I'll leave you with the story of Japan. As early as the 16th Century, the Portuguese were already in Japan, but could get nothing out of the country. This was the same time Africans were already selling one another to the white man for mirrors and gin. For more than 200 years, Japanese refused to trade with the Europeans. In fact, they insisted that what they wanted was guns while the Europeans wanted to fool them the way they fooled Africans. After decades of frustration, the Portuguese ambassador to Japan wrote a letter to the king of Portugal and asked that the king reconsider the policy and trade on Japanese terms. A Japanese Shogun bought a few European-made guns and the shogungate studied how the guns were made and started making their own guns. In less than 20 years, there were more guns in Japan than there were in all of Europe that no European army dared tried to colonize Japan.

I earlier mentioned the letter the Portuguese ambassador wrote to the Portuguese king. Are you aware that at that same time that African tribes such as Benin empire also had Portuguese ambassadors? Let me tell you how the ambassador signed off the letter. Marginally rendered, he wrote "... this is not Africa."

YoshiMaster:
Meanwhile, Peter Obi continues to de-market Nigeria by telling foreign countries that Nigerian politicians are corrupt.

We Nigerians hate Obi for this.

Gandollar will do a good job at marketing Nigeria. You know the message: This is a country where you can get anything if you are willing to bribe authorities with dollar.

SuperEagles:
I think you should be more worried about the foolish souls that open threads claiming to be most intekligent tribe.

Who certified what tribe intelligent n one that is not ? Where did they get their intelligence or lack of it from ?! Instead of this senseless wailing of yours.

Okay, I see it worries you. Let's use another synonym: smartest. Hope you're fine now? So why do smart African tribes suffer genocides? Tribes like Igbo and Tutsis who could have led Africa out of the bottom rung of the humanity ladder? Tribal jealousy or the colonialists? The good news is that Rwandan Tutsis are now leading the country after the attempt to wipe them out. Who knows, they may actually lead Africa out of retrogression as one of the leading intelligent African tribes.

FreeThinkerPlut:
I got curious after reading your response, so I checked your profile—now everything makes perfect sense. No further questions. Good luck!

FreeThinker from Pluto

Why do you disturb Tinubu? The guy told you he was going to grab it, snatch it and run away with it. He has grabbed and snatched and you do not want him to run away? Haba na...

stuffs2002:
If they were so intelligent, how come the British never handed overpower to them
If they were so intelligent, how come they are not qualified to rule Nigeria
If they were so intelligent, how come they are 3rd class citizens in Nigeria
If they were so intelligent, how come they are at the bottom in everything except crime in Nigeria
If they were so intelligent, how come they are the liability in Nigeria and their region is the poorest in Nigeria

Let's check with a similar adjective. Alas ... Igbo is still mentioned. So let's focus on the topic: Why do brilliant African tribes suffer genocides? Any reasonable contribution?

gidgiddy:
It happened because both tribes were in the wrong colonial creation as some of you call countries

Tutsi's should never have been put together in one countries with Hutu's


And Igbos should never have been put in one country with Yoruba's

I perfectly agree with you. The colonialists did to the Tutsis what Nigeria is doing to the Igbo. Imagine having Tutsis in Rwanda, Burundi Uganda and somewhat Congo, instead of giving them their own country.

Same thing we have Igbos splintered in 13 states of Nigeria. In fact, Gowon created states just because of the Igbos. That should tell you how much the British felt threatened by Igbo presence. Their objective was simple: keep the Igbo down by mixing them with mediocre tribes to keep the negro race of Africa retrogressive.

The result of Igbo marginal position since the sixties on Nigeria is glaring. Imagine the quality of leadership the country has been foisted upon for half a century. No wonder it moves in circles.

What's even more amusing is that the many mediocre tribes in the country think they're making progress just because they're sharing free money from crude oil. Not one of them cares that the world has left them behind. Neither does it come to their consciousness that in this 21st century, a particular group still cuts wide swats in tears and blood against them.

NokiaN8:
but Nigeria military srtuctures arent developing despite the high revenue pumped to that institution used to just pay salaries and pensions. the Nigeria government should wakeup. the world now is technology driven. reduce men and buy technology today.

Nigeria isn't supposed to be a country but a business enterprise of the British. The government is more interested in settling the Nigerian military than in making them an effective fighting force. That's why they do well fighting and intimidating civilians than they do in combat. That's why most of their allocations are unaccounted for in soldier welfare. Imagine soldiers earning less than politicians who loot away everything.

JagabanBorgu:
A discussion built on Iies and faIsehood is no discussion, comparing Rwandan civil war to Nigerian civil war and tagging it as gen0cide because u Iost to hûñgèr.
FalsefuIIy cIaiming to be the most intelligent tribe and bIaming the British when it was same British that gave u reIevance is not a discussion.

If we ask u to Iist what makes u intelligent, u will start talking about how ur foIks piràte goods in Aba.
We will counter ur Iies, we have let them fIy for too long.

Argue intelligently since the topic is about intelligence. Even I am awed at the way you guys tell barefaced lies and actually convince yourselves you're telling the truth.So there was no genocide in Rwanda? You sure live in alternate reality.

Anyway, everyone knows that even your government recognizes the Igbo as the most intelligent. Why else would Igbo children be required to score higher than other ethnic groups to gain admission in same schools? Why else do you now rig university admission exams against Igbo states the way you rig elections and census against the Igbo?

All I see in your post is envy and not reason. Why did you attack Igbo and not Tutsi? Envy. If you have no intelligent viewpoint, let those who do contribute why the Igbo and the Tutsi, two of the most intelligent African tribes suffered genocide.

gidgiddy:
APC people like to talk nonsense as insecurity get worse, and hundreds of people are killed across the country weekly by armed bandits

Have you noticed that the same people (APC) who supported Iranian terror against Israel that are supporting Fulani terror against indigenous people in Nigeria? The same are those supporting the "Where are the cows" government to promote future genocide of ethnic groups in the country. Are you sure that's not their pact with the Fulani to grab power?
