OfoIgbo: Just realise that Rotimi will not be doing the SE slot.
For while he accepts that he is Igbo, some of his people claim not to be Igbo, so Amaechi can never ever ever be considered a compromise candidate to do the SE presidential slot
But you Igbos say Ikwerres are Igbo people? And Amaechi has said he is Igbo in several occasions?
So you Igbos do not see Ikwerre as Igbo again?? Lol
Even Prof. Wole Soyinka believes in ROTIMI AMAECHI.
Tinubu believes in his hardwork and political strength!
Rotimi Amaechi signifies Southern Unity:
A South South man, with Yoruba (Rotimi) name and Igbo (Amaechi) name! It’s all set!
The strongest and most experienced politician from Southern Nigeria! Former Speaker, Governor, chairman Governors forum, Two term Minister, Director General Buhari Campaign that brought Opposition Apc to power.
FLASH back:
Rt.Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is the Commander and General of the Common sense revolution army that defeated a sitting President, he is a wonder boy! ~Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2015
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is the most courageous Nigerian I have ever seen,he is tactful, fearles,reliable, workaholic, honest and blunt. ~Prof.Wole Soyinka
It will amount to injustice and unfairness for the north to contest for President in 2023 after 8 years of Buhari,the South should prepare for 2023.~Gov.Ahmed Nasir Elrufai,Governor of Kaduna State.
God helping us,we will handover to a young Nigerian in 2023~President Buhari in 2019
Let me tell you, in Nigeria politics tribe or ethnicity is not always considered by political parties if it would not benefit them!
There is a clamor for Southern/Igbo presidency, but an Igbo presidential candidate irrespective of the political part in today’s Nigeria with series of Biafran threat to break out of Nigeria, it would be difficult for Nigerians to support an Igbo man, because tomorrow another region will come with it’s own threat to break out if not given the presidential ticket.
Why North Will Choose Amaechi:
With the clamor for Igbo/Southern presidency, the north may consider to support Rotimi Amaechi whom they trust more from the Ikwerre ethnic group in Rivers state who are more pro Nigeria than the Igbos even though the Ikwerre people have made it clear right from time that they are not Igbos but rather Ikwerre who trace their ancestors to the Great Benin Kingdom (Oba of Benin confirmed this on his visit to PH, R/S), though some Igbo people have always confronted the Ikwerres claiming they are igbos due to the similarities in names and language with the Ikwerre people.
1. Rotimi Amaechi who have claimed in several occasions to be an Igbo man is so loved by Buhari and trusted to the point of appointing him minister In one of the biggest ministry twice even with the confrontation from the senate and other groups.
2. Rotimi Amaechi who is more pro Nigeria is seen as an Igbo man by the Igbos including the popular IPOB group, with this if he is supported by the North with his Igbo wife from Abia state, Rotimi Amaechi will be able to win majority votes from the South East hereby getting APC into the South East. Don’t forget that with Rotimi Amaechi and his yoruba-igbo name signifies a Southern Unity and he is likely to win majority vote from the South East, South South and also from the South West as he would be more accepted and trusted than an Igbo candidate from South East due to the Biafra threat to Nigeria today.
3. Rotimi Amaechi has a great record and experience as former Speaker, Governor, Chairman Nigerian governors forum, Minister twice with great record of managing the campaign train as director general that brought the opposition party Apc to power.
4. If Apc wants to retain power as it moves to the Southern part, it must present a candidate that would be accepted across the South, with a VP from the North with help from Buhari and top Northern politicans Apc will be able to win 2023 presidency.
5. With power moving to the South, there is no APC politician from the South than can stand Rotimi Amaechi, in terms of popularity and with the number of political positions and experience Amaechi has achieved over the years. Rotimi Amaechi is popularly know to have never lost a political battle before in his political carrier.
Some igbos man say he is Ikwerre and not Igbo and can never claim Igbo just because he wants to be president so they will not support him, but let me tell you majority of Igbos out there with that name “Amaechi” on a campaign postal will gladly support him more than an Atiku or anyone else who is also not Igbo.
Difrent: You "WE" that don't want tinubu don't determine things in Apc....lets even agree with you on this do you think Amaechi will deliver rivers state? I don't think so, with wike fully on ground APC best result will be about 50% of rivers vote while Osinbajo will not only assure us of 80%+ votes of Lagos but the entire south west and edo delta kogi kwara You just dey over hype Amaechi, he's my man but on this issue I go with my kinsman just as you are going with you kinsman
Oga Wike is Ikwerre same with Amaechi. Even if Wike hates Amaechi he can not stop Ikwerre people who are the majority in Rivers state to vote for their son, we Ikwerre people don’t betray our own, stop fooling yourself.
gartamanta: If the Sultan of Sokoto said that Yorubas from Sokoto, would you believe it?
If the Obi of Onitsha said that Tiv's are from Onitsha, would you believe it?
So why would anyone believe it if the Oba of Benin says Ikwerres are from Benin?
It could be that the Ikwerre people migrated from Benin hundreds of years ago but the reality on the ground is that:
Nobody can actually prove this.
Most Ikwerre people never claim to be Bini people
The Ikwerre people are not distinct, their language and names are Igbo
Every Ikwerre man has an Igbo surname. If Ikwerres were actually from Bini, why did they drop their Bini language and names for Igbo? Even if one can explain that close interaction with Igbos made them forget their Bini language, nobody has been able to explain why Ikwerres also chose to forget their ancestral names and adopt Igbo surnames.
post=91025725: The Oba of Benin kingdom, Omo n’oba n’Edo uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, on Monday evening paid a thank you visit to Port Harcourt in Rivers. The visit was the first to the state since his installation as the Benin monarch in 2016. Ebel Egaton, Chairman, Degema Reconciliation and Chieftaincy Committee, who was among dignitaries at the Airport to welcome the Oba, told News Agency of Nigeria that the visit would further unify Rivers and Edo people. According to him, the visit is an appreciation for their contributions and the roles they played during his coronation. NAN reports that the Edo tribe across states of the federation, earlier converged on the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, before the arrival of Oba of Benin kingdom to welcome the monarch. Egaton, who was in the entourage of King Reuben Zachariah, the king of Degema kingdom, said that the Degema people migrated from the ancient Benin kingdom. According to him, they migrated in the 11 century AD and settled in Degema area in Rivers. “We were the first settlers in Degema and we have over the years preserved our identity, our language, culture and tradition until this day. “We received a letter that the Oba of Benin was coming to Rivers. As brethren, we had to come to show our solidarity and identify ourselves as part of the Edo group domiciled in Rivers. “During the coronation of the Oba, the Edo group in diaspora and those across the six geopolitical zones of the federation were also all in attendance. “On arrival to Rivers, the Oba, shall pay a curtsey visit to Governor Nyesom Wike and also meet with the Rivers Traditional Rulers Council, South-south Chiefs and the Edo groups in diaspora. “In our diverse ethnicity, we have realised ourselves and are together forging ahead in unity, as this visit would further foster unity among the Edo groups across the country,” he added. The visit of the Oba to Port Harcourt according to some traditional leaders who came to receive him was a thank-you- visit which followed his coronation held on November 12, 2016. NAN, however, reports that the Oba arrived at about 6:10pm at Port Harcourt International Airport and welcomed by Edo groups in Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta with cultural troupes.
Watch the Video Below of the Oba of Benin talking about Ikwerre people in his visit to Port harcourt.
Igbo man will die for Ikwerre unique identity tracing our ancestors to the great Benin Kingdom. You igbos in the media have deleted where he said Ikwerre people are from Benin Kingdom to hide the Ikwerre identity, we are not surprise, even in Wikipedia you igbos are changing the true history of Ikwerre people and other minor ethnic groups in the Niger delta claiming they are igbos/Biafrans. God save you people!
post=91025192: Point of correction, Amaechi's wife is from Enugu-Ukwu Anambra state, it's Peter Odili's wife that's from Mbaise Imo state, Oba of Benin only came for a visit, other first class kings across the country do visit Rivers, even Obi of Onitsha. Amaechi never deny his Igbo heritage.
Mr man go and read what the Oba of Benin said in Port Harcourt about uniting Benin descendants quoting Ikwerre as one of them stop talking in ignorance.
Mraphel: Another south easterner claiming and impersonating ikwere.
ikweres have said it profusely and repeatedly they are not Igbo......Onitsha people left and migrate from Benin kindom......go and made Onitsha people Igbo before the Ikweres.
Oga I’m an Ikwerre guy, I didn’t say Ikwerres are igbo, read what i wrote carefully. Thank you
1. Amaechi whom Buhari loves so much (appointed & reappointed him minister of one of the biggest ministry despite oppositions from senate and co), Buhari’s loves and trust for Amaechi is more than any politician in the South. Amaechi who wants to be President and knows people are clamoring for Igbo presidency for equity and fairness, has come out to declear himself as an Igbo man ahead of 2023 even though the Ikwerre people has always made it clear they are not igbos for decades now. A recent visit to Port Harcourt by the Oba of Benin, also confirmed their stand as the Oba said his visit to Port Harcourt was to unite the Benin descendants in Rivers state quoting the Ikwerre people as one of them.
2. With the clamor for power to return to the South for fairness, If Apc gives Rotimi Amaechi the presidential ticket, as an Ikwerre man from Rivers state with the second highest number of voting strength in the South after Lagos) he will win Rivers for Apc, the entire Niger delta, plus all the Igbos in the South East who see him as an Igbo man closer to them than anyone in Nigeria, will all support him, and don’t forget his wife is an Igbo woman from imo state, and with the Apc structure in the South West, there would be a more united South to support APC more than a Tinubu candidacy whom the South South and South East do not support.
3. Babagana Governor of Borno state may be considered deputy from the North East bringing him who is from the state suffering more from Boko haram attacks closer to the presidency which will definitely help in eradicating Boko haram with his first hand informations and experience as a governor of that state.
•• El-Rufai happy birthday wish to Rotimi Amaechi confirms his love, trust and support for Amaechi with his northern cabals in Apc.
Recently Amaechi has refused to make his opinion known to the public on the ongoing crisis in Apc to save his presidential ambition in 2023.
Even his Ikwerre brother Gov. Wike is no longer fighting him or probing his administration as governor.
Amaechi also has the Age advantage compared to Tinubu his secret rival in the South.
Let’s assume Tinubu Is out of the race, who can stand Amaechi’s popularity and acceptance across the South? None
This Ritualist Kidnapped this young girl for rituals, unfortunately for him someone saw him and followed him. On the point of killing the girl, the police arrived. .
DenreleDave: Sometimes back, naso I arrange appointment with a lady.. Naso the lady come, entertained her, she carry her smoke. Naso Night reach as we don do do finish, we kon sleep. Trust mi, I cud not sleep overnight. Yes I could not sleep.
Why? I have always read bad news on nairaland about someone dying in another person place and it always ring in my mind.. Funny enough, the girl was not feeling fine and she never told me...
I was almost awake through out the night checking if she is breathing, anytime I suspect she isn't breathing, I tap her and she moves her body... I was even regretting why I had to let her sleep overnight sef but don't blame me, she came in the evening...
Guys, if you get any arrangement with a babe, Pls let her come in the morning and leave that same day, probably evening.. The enjoyment una wan enjoy for night can be enjoyed from morning to evening.. Don't let any lady sleep over.
Disadvantages:
1. She may be possesed (medium risk)
2. She may die in your care (very high risk). Imagine a young guy like you with a bright future going to jail for something u don't know about....
3. You yourself may die.. Hence endangering the lady's life. ...
I remember going to Lagos high Court for affidavit and I saw prisoners about to be judged coming down from the prison bus, mehnn. I knew some of them are accused of what they are not guilty for.... I pray that none of us will be unfortunate ooo
Nigeria is already messed up.. Notin like doing a forensic autopsy to ascertain the true cause of the death...
Advantages of avoiding sleeping over :
1. Peace of mind, even if she wan die overnight, she go go die for her place but pray she wunt die after leaving ur place for home
2. Any style u wan do in the midnight can be done in the day time
3. Her moaning wunt disturb the neighbors cox them go dey busy
Be wise.. Don't ever invite a lady over, any sex u Wana enjoy overnight can be enjoyed during the day..
Please I’ve an issue bothering me rn. I’m thinking of terminating my School though I’m in year 2(1st semester)
I noticed I’m able to make more than 300k a month online these covid season but if I’m in school I don’t make up to this amount because I don’t have enough time to stay online and do things I wanna do.
But I don’t wanna make a decision that’s gonna affect me forever so I’m seeking for your honest opinion.
Should I just terminate this school and focus more on my online Business.
What my online business just require of me is Data(like 50gb per month )and to always be online to run the stuff.
Maybe you can help to put me through in your online business and i will truly appreciate. Bless you!
meavox: THIS MESSAGE FROM OHANAEZE IS NOT JUST FOR IGBO oooo.... It is also for SS, SW, and MB because we too are being killed while we quietly farm our lands to produce food for our people and the nation.
We can't continue this way.
Nairaland keeps on removing my posts that support SE and SS. So if you want to see the shape of what SE and SS together as Lower Niger Bloc can look like go to Orient Harmony facebook page. Here's the link: Orient Harmony https://web.facebook.com/OrientHarmonySESS/
They are wasting their time. We in Rivers state and Niger delta at large don’t need the igbos for anything. We can support their Biafra for South East and we expect them to also support Niger delta republic too, because Niger delta republic was first declared on 23rd Feb. 1966 before Igbo Biafra declaration which Ikwerre people in Port harcourt, Ijaw, Ogoni and other ethnic groups in South South rejected Biafra.
Those who know about what led to the creation of Old Rivers state from Eastern region would never support biafra. These igbos dominated the Eastern region assembly, job opportunities both in the South East and South South back then, they dominated our markets, government ministries, departments and use government powers to own lands. So we can’t be so stupid to join igbos for Biafra, Lower Niger and whatever they call it.
The Big question is: Why are they afraid of having a Biafra republic for the South East alone? Must they include Niger deltans? What are they looking for in the Niger delta? Sea ports? Crude Oil? Uranium in Cross rivers? Beautiful Calabar, Port Harcourt, Warri, Yenagua, Uyo, Benin city to dominate? And claim it’s no mans land in future just like they are caling lagos a no mans land? And secondly what will a Niger delta man gain in join Igbos for Biafra? How many Niger delta man in South East? How many of us have land and properties? Why will a Niger delta man leave Port Harcourt, Calabar for Onitsha, Awka, Enugu to look for what??
The Igbos needs us so much, but we can be sister nations but not one nation, Niger delta needs a Niger delta republic free from dominance from a Major tribe, because in Niger delta republic there is no fear of domination, we are all minor ethnic groups in the Niger delta who will marry each other with our similar life style, culture, and general language pidgin,Sea ports, natural resources, agriculture, mehn we are good to develop and secure a Niger delta republic free of tribalism or what have you!
This is what Niger delta stand for! Nothing less than that and anybody who can come out to say No to this for the Niger delta people should be seen as an Enemy that needs to be crushed!
RemoveKebab: Why can't FG just allow states or regions to generate their own power and the rest will be shared to national grid for export.
North- abundant sun and land for clean solar power.
Southeast- massive coal for thermal plants.
Southwest- long coastal line for wind power from Atlantic ocean plus a potential location for nuclear powerplant.
South south- natural gas for gas plants.
North central - hydroelectric power.
Why do Africans like to make life hard for themselves?
I weak! If States take over, trust me the South South states for example can come together and invest in power generation and distribution across the South South region!
Every region will work hard to bring stable power supply and in few years to come things will be different.
northvietnam: I love the way northerners play politics....
See as Buhari just lock up like say he has not powers to put a stop to this bullshit ...
The game plan is to hijack the party from tinubu’s grip... that’s why mr president doesn’t want to get involved ... so that by 2023, elrufais cartel will be in charge of every arm of the party and they can smoothly hand pick Buhari’s successor
They can trade Edo just to have grip on every arm of the party ...
By 2023, APC will successfully rig in buhari’s blessed candidate .
You have said it all!
The north has stolen too much from Buhari govt and they don’t trust Tinubu to replace them.
In the 2016 Edo Governorship election that brought Obaseki to office, he (Obaseki) lost to the PDP’s candidate (Pastor Ize Iyamu) in his Ward, Local Government Area and Senatorial district. The then National Chairman of the APC (Chief Oyegun) also lost woefully to PDP in his polling unit, Ward, Local Government and Senatorial district. In fact, it was the massive votes that H. E., Comrade Adams Oshiomole turned out from his Edo North Senatorial district that made Godwin Obaseki to win the 2016 Edo Governorship election. Therefore, before we begin overate a looser, let’s go back to our archives and do a SWOT analysis of the situation then and now, vis-a-vis the major characters. This, I am sure is what the PDP will be doing over this weekend.
He lost to pdp in 2016 and noq he belongs to that Pdp he lost and has all the local govt chairmen, political appointees with him, Apc state chairman and prominent members of Apc including Pdp governors from the SS and national level unlike before.
So stop foolishly calling him a loser you don’t understand politics. For you to say he was nobody while campaigning and still nobody as a governor exposes your poor mentality and knowledge of politics. Too many kids on Nairaland
mandalorian: I always laugh whenever I hear this "black life matter" nonsense. Whites treat us better than our brothers. Imagine refusing to bury someone simply because the person is a "stranger". We blacks hate ourselves dearly. That's why we've never moved forward for once as a country and as a continent.
You’re stupid, how does police brutality against blacks in America that led to Black lives matter protest concerns burial in delta state?
All these kids on Nairaland close your small mouth if you don’t know what to type.
saintol: I have been looking around and I am still looking around to see if indeed we have white and black humans, but I have found none.
In our elementary schools, we were taught types of colours. The white colour I was shown then was like the celestial garment while the black colour was like charcoal. And if I am not wrong, the white we were shown is still white while the black is still black up till date.
Having taught us these colours with identification, someone came up with the application to human beings. But it is very obvious that the person that came up with this application has dysfunctional eyes and brain.
Have you indeed seen a white or black human? I mean a human white like the garment or black like charcoal. If we must indeed apply colour to humans, then the brown colour is more applicable. Everyone is brown having red blood within.
So whenever you are told there are white and black people, let them know that you see neither black nor white, all you could see is brown, varieties of brown. " We are all brown, varieties of brown".
If you hide under the white or black belief to perpetrate evil towards another, you are only deceiving yourself. You are brown perpetrating evil towards another brown.
" Black and white I see not, all I see is brown. Varieties of brown".
Varieties of Brown
Same way you see varieties of brown same way people see varieties of white and black.
So all you see is varieties of white and black hence they are referred to as white and black as you can’t keep writing or saying varieties of white or black.
Nbote: Blacks kill blacks more in the US and even here in Africa.. While dey were busy protesting about black lives matter, a fellow black molested and probably killed her.. If a white man molests or kills a black man, it's termed racism. But when blacks keep murdering and ruining demselves, it is jus crime
She was killed by a racist white man. Stop allowing these people to manipulate your brain. She has been missing for a week, they killed that girl and post those lies painting the blackman bad at this time of black lives matter protest.
You’re easily fooled if you don’t think twice about this news.
SLAP44: The name of the city was Igweocha, named because when our ancestors were approaching the ocean, there are no more jungle land to provide cover, instead they will be seeing a open heaven where the ocean reflects skywards causing some heavy contrast. The next generation called it Pitakwa.
Igweocha should replace the imported name of Port Harcourt.
Don’t say what you don’t know. I am from Ikwerre and we do not have any of our ancestors with the name Igweocha. The original name of Port Harcourt is Rebisi kingdom or city today.
YorubaKinging: Now that the coronaVirus scam Is over Let's take the time to rewind to January when it all started
We remember when the foolish and lying scientists said Africa will record the highest death toll
We remember when the foolish Nairaland aethists was ignorantly making jest of our God that he can't save us
We also remember how those whom you put your trusts (the FGN) failed you woefully by failing to give you any incentives despites receiving many donations
We will no forget how the scientists were confused about the prevention of this UNdeadly virus (only those infected would wear face masks..... and later everybody must wear facemask)
But at the end of the day , we are still safe The Lion of Judah has delivered us from the plans of the wicked people
Only God can save, All power belongs to Him alone Always put your trusts in Him
joyandfaith: North will rule for 16 years starting from 2015 under different parties. After 16 years, Nigeria will be restructured geopolitical and economically . If you think power is returning to south in 2023, you are delusional. it is only a national tragedy or international crisis that can change scheme of things. Guys, brace for the worst. The future is blink.
leokid866: You do realize that if a strong Northerner like say El rufia or soludo take up the vice spot all this you've said goes out the window. Or you think it's impossible.
It’s possible but don’t dream about that because it won’t happen
kehinde1588: It's high time you stopped blaming Tinubu for your lost in 2015. Different political parties came together to form what we called APC including some PDP members then. The igbos and the SS supported the party which would give them greater benefits while the Yorubas supported the party which would give them greater benefits too. How would you now conclude that Tinubu betrayed the South. Didn't the igbos vote based on what would give them relevance in national politics?
You guys are always too emotional and always forget that this is politics. Did Tinubu or any Southerner sign any agreement that Yorubas must support a southern in 2015? People were tired of PDP and they voted them out. The same thing will become of APC one day.
I always tell the SE that they can choose to support whoever they want but they should not make it looks like you are against the SW because you want to sabotage their ambition. After all, you voted for Atiku a Fulani man and he lost so voting another Fulani man come 2023 doesn't mean ur votes are consequential.
The alliance you formed in 2019 with a Fulani man (Atiku), what was the result?
Seriously you guys talk as if you don't understand politics. Instead of analysis your chances come 2023 objectively, you guys will rather be emotional about it and say you won't support SW.
Let me make it clear for you now, SW is not expecting any support from you in 2023, stick to your Atiku. But let me tell you that we will remind you all your statements in the future.
No northern cabal can't stop the emergency of Tinubu come 2023, only the Almighty can.
Oga stop referring to Atiku, do you expect him to win Buhari his Fulani brother?? Of course NO they are brothers
But the difference is clear, this time around it’s Yoruba vs North!
Down South Tinubu can’t claim 100% of SW talk more of SS/SE! How can you win a Northern??
If Tinubu contest, he will win SW, and lose SS and SE
If you think he will win a Northern candidate in the North when he can’t completely win the South you’re dreaming. Wake up.
We will support a party that gives us Vice Presidential slot rather than support a Yoruba that voted out my brother Jonathan claiming people where tired of Pdp.
ledamaster: Tinubu and the yorubas can not do jack if the North decides to keep power, as usual and true to type, they want to decieve nigerians that they hold the unity of the country. Thats a big falacy, even abt 50% of yorubas will work against The interest of tinubu. Tinubu and his APC SW Already shot themselves on d foot when they said no need for resource control, no need for true federalism cos they are nw at the centre. Who will take them serious, definately the greater South. Without a collect volce of entire South, yorubas or Tinubu cnt do Jack. I for one dont see SE/SS Joining forces to demand power shift. All the North has to do is to use a S/South or East vp to win. Nothing will happen.
Your 100% correct. This what is going to happen and they won’t do anything.
