Face topic, I'm not interested in your bitter and hateful nonsense.

9icest:
This sounds like a scammer reporting the story of another scammer. He made 3.7 through which seminar? He made billions through proposal? Are you kidding me?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.informationng.com/2012/01/jimoh-ibrahim-buys-500-million-hotel-in-dubai.html/amp

The same Jimoh Ibrahim took $500 million to buy a hotel in Dubai and that money is now lost forever as he’s not even making a single profit. The man now wants to be making money on the same Nigerian he doesn’t even believe in again when he went to invest in Ghana and Dubai. Omo ale jatejate!

Difrent:
Reminds one of Abubakar Bagudu and Allen Onyema.... People who hide under some phony schemes to siphon government money.....
A story about him had it that he was very close to Late Ibrahim Abach that died in a plane crash and that he converted the late Ibrahim s wealth in his possession to his own and that was how he made his money, he was also said to have used his closeness to the Abachas to get juicy contracts.

But in all honest any business that he touches, he destroys ,in business circles he is known as a spoiler

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Bro I know all this. U can see I was only quoting Fani Kayode.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Who remembered when Fani Kayode said Jimoh Ibrahim did rituals to become rich??. And that he used to sleep with dead bodies for money rituals. . It was during the 2016 Ondo state elections tho. But That Fani get bad Mouth

You are derailing threads which is against NL rules.. Hope you know

Dasuks:
Before u get all excited, stop with the half assed analysis. North/se beat Awolowo in 79 and 83. Whether u factor in the awkward judgment for 79 or the absurdities of 1983, in Nigeria what counts is who is sworn in come inauguration day. And the gap was already very convincing. Only issue was spread. The eventual runoff 2nd round would have been prepackaged by the military for Shagari either way. An Awo victory as slim as that was, would simply not be announced. Nigeria was designed for federative leadership not regional..

That being said u are conflating Abiola's victory with his identity... lol. That was a man who built contacts (even in the East, he won Anambra and averaged more than 40% in Igboland) nationally, over a decades long empire building career. In fact, up until the 1992 ban of old politicians most Yorubas didnt even consider him. He held no real regard for Awolowo or his political wing. His victory was borne from his peculiar persona and strategy. Ofc he knew getting his kin on board was only a matter of time. Ultimately it all worked out. Who was Bashir Tofa ? His money and worth were only for him and his family. In fact, I will go as far as saying as there is no equivalent of Abiola right now in this country.

The Igbos aligned with PDP from 1999 and I would also point out that even tho their Ekwueme lost out to OBJ they gave OBJ all of their votes. Same OBJ that won only 12 percent in Lagos, barely 25 percent anywhere else in the west and only about 30 percent in his home state of Ogun. Lol.. the only successful Yoruba at the polls was more of a northern, SS and Eastern choice than a SW selection... so one could even argue that the AG/UPN Yoruba core political center has never produced a President lol..

Hence, it didnt matter where GMB picked Okadigbo or Ume Ezeoke or Ojukwu ran etc. Who were this men to the bigger picture of SE political positioning. Igbos threw their hat in with the PDP, albeit a Northern oligarchy dominated structure... the irony... I think what u should ask urself is that why has Igbo voting not necessarily followed the ethnic identity of their preferred candidates. What elite resolutions govern these choices. Perhaps, what cultural norms or presumptions and the like. Not the BS u have up here, throwing things together to fit ur narrative. I will repeat by the logic of " what votes do u bring to the table? What is ur contribution?" that is so popular now, OBJ essentially owed the SW nothing. The rigging and machinations in the SS and SE almost made it seem like he was their son. Look at his Rivers numbers for example. Nigeria is actually less tribalized than trolls like u make it seem on NL.

Igbos were on the right side of 79, 83, 99, 03, 07 and 11 some of u on here make it seem like u dont know that the only time the SW votes correlated with the winning party was in 93, 11,15 and this past 2019. If we were to go all the way back to 1959 and 1964 federal elections, the story is the same, with both Igbo and Yoruba losing out in '64. And the West losing its own regional control in the 1965 regionals.

1979 and 1983 on their own invalidate ur claim. Stop getting carried away with temporary political success. With the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, almost every zone in the country has technically been at the center of power over the country's history. They can all say "been there, done that". Wait for 2023, 27, 31 and beyond before drawing ur conclusions.

tatatar:
Children of hate are ready to vote against their own than to vote someone they've been trained to hate.
Secondly,for example,an Anambra man would rather die than have another Igbo man from imo become vice-president or president.

Gandollaar:
way-Ray you have become Igbo overnight Abii?

goodnessme1:
Afonja! you Don't Even know how to impersonate.
