Lol..a new party can’t win a presidential party easily like that...you need to build structures by starting from ground up, not top down

Exactly my thought. But remember apc came up during almost election year. Never say never. Let just watch. As it stands now Nigerians are fade up of these two parties and are longing for something fresh and new. I am speaking the mind of majority here. I am one of those.

Onlinesmart:
This is a mere consolation for you and your fellow emotional wailers. Deep down, you know no Nigerians would willingly vote someone from the east. Nigerians would rather vote another Ijaw man ahead of igbo.

How did you come to that conclusion?

loopman:
Under which party ? Some of you thinks as if you live in Mars

Honestly, we need a third strong force. Any party aside apc n pdp.

Pedrocross4568:
We don't need to give it to the igbos all in the name to let peace reign. if they want it, let them earn it. for now they don't deserve to have it cause they are not ready.

From where we are today in this country, which zone has, so far, shown readiness. Look at the sham called Nigeria today. So readiness? That is understatement.

nemynely:
You are right bro to the extent that only two persons can occupy the exalted position of first and second in the nation. To be honest, I can't see any man I wish to give my backing for any of the positions.

Let me tease you with this chronicle.
In 1983, the present president took over power and did absolutely nothing with it. Only idiagbon, God bless his soul, gave that administration some sense of direction. On discovering a lacunae, Maradona left Argentina and possessed IBB who imported SAP and holds the enviable record of ushering the naira into a free fall.
Bereft of dribbling skills in 1993, he cancels an election and STEPS ASIDE (whatever that means). His greedy COAS decided to prove that Maradona was only a learner, no wonder his benevolence from the other side is mind-blowing to the children of today.
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope shone on the horizon and while religious folks termed it "the hand of God" with attendant effusive eulogies deserving of an Almighty, the scientific community harped on a chemical weapon which may have involved an apple as conduit and transporter.
The Ota prince, who was fortuitously gifted what almost every citizen referred to as a "second chance", greedily fluffed it away in a fruitless bid to perpetuate himself in power.
Permit me at this point to introduce a slimmy character whose toga of "comrade" and signature khaki dress code still provokes a derisive laughter from my loins. Pls may I remind you at this juncture that the free fall of the naira continued unabated with its attendant consequences.
Back to the khaki wearing, albeit, fearless indigene of Edo state who bears a primordial name, little did we know what his true intentions were. He got everyone else fooled, except for myself and a few other persons, and made them believe he was fighting their cause. Pray tell, why didn't any of his petrol pump price hike wars ever end with a restoration to status quo.
Right under his nose, the near N11 naira fuel pump price the OTA prince met it as galloped to a N70 at his exit.

Here's the time to ask me "what's your point gaan gaan?".

My points are as follows:
1. You really can't vouch for anyone until you see how they handled power, authority, privilege, opportunity etc.
2. Decay and depreciation has remained on the milky way of free fall.
3. That checks and balances, not the charade currently known as NASS and the Judiciary, are far more important than the persons who will bulldoze their way to the seats of power. (Or do you think we actually elect people in this part of the world?)

Before you label me Mr Elejowewe, let me answer your question.

Answer- Oby Ezekwesili for President
Dora Akunyili / the Adesina of AFDB for VP

I am not amnesic. Just that I wish Dora was still alive.

I really enjoyed the ride and at the end your pick shows your heart. Good combination I must say. Well done.

nemynely:
Op, you are taking us back to one of those perennial mistakes we usually make - the presumption that it takes one seemingly good man to change the fortunes of Naija.
Where are the Sai Babas now?
Even football has moved away from the era of point9 dependency. Every member of the 23man squad is now made to imbibe the hunger for goals.
In other words, Naija doesn't need one man, rather a vast group of seemingly good men and women who would rise above ALL DIVIDES to salvage the nation.

Agreed. But we only need one man and vice to be the next driver. So who should be that person so that we can all put our hands on deck. Your choice is highly needed. Thank you.

TheRareGem1:
Osinbajo
Osinbajo
Osinbajo... president

Zulum
Zulum
Zulum...... VP

Great picks, just that I want the next president to come from the Eastern part of Nigeria for peace sake n equity. If they have ruled this your pick would have been mine. Kudos!

OfoIgbo:
This list is just too colourless for me.

I even prefer Orji Uzor Kalu to the peopel you mentioned.

Anyway, my list will have people like Prof. Kingsley Muoghalu, Festus Odimegwu and Charles Soludo.
Enough of this colourless, incompetent presidents.

I pick charles soludo here. Add him to my picks

hajimosho:

You just confirmed you are political novice.

Thank you our great political hero.

Yes, I see that the game is on and I will not wait for people to give me rotten fish. i am picking these personalities base on quality and equity.

My picks for President are:
1. Peter Obi
2. Dave Umahi
3. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi

For vice: Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum

Choose yours or tell us why my picks are not good enough.

Update:
Note your choice may form a strong view for who will take over the mantle of leadership of this country. Do not take this lightly

My candidates for 2023 should be Peter Obi + Borno governor. Or Enugu governor + Borno governor. Qed.

OP you are one of those who don't want unity of this country. I am not from East but I can say categorically that if we play foul play in 2023 we may not have the entity call Nigeria. For equity sake East should be made to be a president of Nigeria.

Myopic set of leaders. They should go and learn how to set up modern factory. Just look at the structure.

jamalnation:
Who is celebrating what nau? how do we confirm its not Audio toilet

Haaa! for toilet? Hmmm! Make them build audio toilet so far na toilet, their brain no pass that.

jamalnation:

Eeser:
Wao! Is that all you have to say as 'inforesource'?
Oga, you know nothing.

New level

The question is, why did they stop? Answer this before we continue the discussion.

Your location

Macphenson:
Okoo

What are their duty there sef.? Collecting things abi?

Enn214:
Why?

Do you know that first (Experimental) Local Government (County) in Nigeria was Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area?

Sadly: It may be deleted from Nigeria history as we don't seem to be proud of it.

Do you know that the second highest Slave deport in West Africa (The first was in Badagri, Lagos) was established in Ikot Abasi in the year 1795? and the famous Bridge of no Return was built in Ikot Abasi that same year?

Sadly: In Goggle it is recorded as if the Bridge stands in Imo State along Imo River.

Do you know that the decision and the plan for the Amalgamation of Northern and Southern States into one Country Named Nigeria was taken at the Brick House at Ikot Abasi by Sir Lord Lugard and other Colonial Leaders in the present of all regional Head then?

Sadly: That Center (The Amalgamation house which is still standing in Ikot Abasi till today) was not recognized by the federal government when Nigeria Amalgamation history was Celebrated in 2014, why? we were Silence, we seemed not to be proud of it.

Do you know that Queen Elizabeth the 2nd Ship Came into the Eastern Nigeria through the Eniong River in the Present ITU Local Government Area?, and that till today the deck she claimed to up land is still at ITU ?

Sadly: It's not our Business, such History is forgotten and such place is not worth a tourist Center.

Do you know that the first leper colony in Nigeria region was established by the Presbyterian Church and Mary Slassor Hospital at Obot ITU and still there till today?

Do you know that the first telephone service station in west Africa was at ITU?

Do you know that because of our riches in Forestry Few Italians in the 18th Century collaborated with our Portuguese trade partners to esterblised and Italian Forest reserve at ITU and it is still there till today?

Sadly; All these does not interest our Generation and it is not even worth a tourist site.

Do you know that Mary Slassor spend More of her life span in Use Ikot Oku in old ITU LGA now Ibiono Ibom LGA, Akwa Ibom State more than she lived in any where on Earth?
Do you know that she died in Use Ikot Oku and her House and her grave Monument is still there till today?
Do you even know that the names of the Towns in Akwa Ibom that Mary Slassor affected are writen in the Scottish Currency?

Sadly: Calabar has taken that Glory, Her Monument built by Cross River State Government is a tourist Center where Calabar Canival trend stop and Dance.
Yet there is no major street in Akwa Ibom named after Mary Slassor.

Do You that the name Itu given the a Local Government Area in the then Cross River State and now Akwa Ibom State was derived from a Portuguese/ English Trade Center called International Trade Union?

Sadly: it is only found in an old book in a Dieing Library in Calabar and no one from here is bold enough to put in in the Internet so it could be googled.

Do you know that the famous "Aba Women Riot" of 1929 actually originated from a Market called Ukam Market in Ikot Abasi and so many women lost their lives in the killing ordered by the Colonial Division Officer in Ikot Abasi,
do you know that it was an Ikot Abasi woman that led that riot?
do you know that no Woman actually died in the street of Aba and that female traders in Aba only did a sympathy walk?

Sadly; Aba ,is more popular in the glory of that History because we just don't care
Even the mock graves of the 500 dead women in Ikot Abasi is not worth a tourist site to be promoted.

BUT
do you know that tourism is a major Economic driver on Earth today?
Do you know that Akwa Ibom Citizens travel out on tour to so many lesser historical sites around the world?

Why? Why? Why?
Are we not proud of our history?
why can't we turn our Historical sites to tourist Sites?

Why? do we allow tribalism and Political Influence to rub us of our Heritage?

Kudos> I don't know what else to say. Anybody or group of persons that remove history from our curricula may God forgive them in Jesus Name.
OP kindly do justice to this topic by adding pictures. Try and spend small money abeg. We know say COVID dey, but try.

How will the retraction epp the already spilled milk?

Fvcked ten men to join cult...dis girl fit come out with first class if she enter university...and still get a choice job after graduation....she is gud at fvcking her way thru.

You are so concern with her ability to sleep with ten men rather than pitying the 10 foolish guys whose destinies are being toiled with through that illicit sex. Bible keeps warning us to stay away from pre-marital sex. This is one of the danger the HOLY BOOK fore-saw before warning us from this act.
