SHETIMA

Professor Osinbajo should be replaced by Professor Babagana, as VP.
EOD

kponkedenge:
A former governor doesn't have grassroots? So how did he become governor?

You guys are clowns.

He became a Governor because of the influence of Ikemba's party, APGA.
He later abandoned APGA and moved to PDP and in the process, APGA grassroot supporters did not port with him when he moved to PDP.

DMerciful:
Igbos are well represented in every region in that chart. In fact after the indigenous people of every state, Igbos come second and they vote there. They'd also vote according to SE Igbos

Amalekki:
Reno told me and he is the Jagaban and national leader of Twitter Republic

Reno Omokiri, JT (Jagaban of Twitter).

- National leader of Twitter Republic.

Heavensent01:
first objective achieved by Reno, Atiku and the Northern goons paid him well now the rest is to tackle wike and make sure Southerner from opposition don't win.
If you want to hook down southern, na southerners aboki dey woo hook Southerner down.


Average southerners have price, quite unfortunate

Same role played by Arthur Nzeribe, when he was hired by IBB's government to truncate Abiola's electoral victory, with his ABN movement.
Same role also played by Daniel KANU
of the notorious Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha madness with the sole aim of supporting and propagating Abacha's transformation to civilian dictatorship.

Rupertek:
northern Christians are higher in population than Igbo people living in south east. The land they live in the north is many times bigger than Igboland in size. Where in the south do you want them to relocate to?

They will likely relocate to the South East and South South part of Southern Nigeria.
The Yeebos are known to be good christians and I do not envisage the Yeebos having any problems allowing Northern Christians to settle in Beerfraudland.

4words:
Firstly wike as what? VP or President? If VP whats will make anybody vote for RMK and his new party and not PDP or APC that is currently is charge.

The permutation is that PDP gives ticket to North same as APC so why will they Vote NNPP assuming RMK flies it?

The best bet is for NNPP to adopt TInubu which will automatically give them the SW, NC and a bit of SS while RMK as VP will deliver NE and NW... not forgetting Tinubu still has influence in NE and NW.

So if I am NNPP I will start porching Tinubu.

This is how Buhari won in 2015. Its just simple calculation

Permutations are an integral part of politicking and I must confess, yours is not different.
Jagaban Borgu is the only politician from the South, that could give NNPP a national outlook, in collaboration with RMK, but I can assure you that Tinubu will not jump ship irrespective of the outcome of APC's primary.

Atiku will more likely clinch PDP's primary and if Wike's ego is not well massaged by PDP, Kwankwaso might persuade him to come over to NNPP and fly the party's flag with Kwankwaso as running mate but they will not constitute any threat to both APC and PDP.

Perfectbeing:
See the region the SE wants them to secede power to. They've already given up without a fight.. That's so pathetic. While Tinubu is still fighting "dirty" against Atiku, a Easterner have already given up against a new party that was formed just yesterday with only one person with political clout. What then will Kalu do as the President when he hear Boko Haram just bombed a market or bandits kidnapped some school children? He will just resign.

True talk.
Same way Ikemba abandoned his people during the Biafran war. Same way Lamidi Cownu abandoned his IPOB pigs before Buhari kidnapped him and dumped him in Kuje zoo.
That's the way Yeebos roll.

Goke7:
There was never an agreement to zone anything to the south for your information. It was all propaganda. The North in any Nigeria dispensation had never agreed to any zoning. 1999 was to make amends to June 12 1993 after abiola defeated a northerner squarely in an election. Any southerner who wants presidency must fight for it which is what the SW is doing by throwing all their soldiers forward while you guys are lamenting. If any southerner wins in 2023 it will not be because of any zoning as the major parties have thrown the contest wide open. Is it not amazing that Amaechi seems to be having buhari support now? Is he from the west or an igbo man? It's called politics, play the game and stop crying like kalu or chickening out like ngige. If you guys are serious, rally support for Obi and make sure he gets pdp ticket, then humble yourselves and sell him to all Nigerians rather than begging up and down.

Honest advice to Igbo politicians and followers alike;
"Stop crying like KANU or chickening out like NGIGE".

OyeofIkoTuN:
Key note...

We are not refugees..

Cry no more

I merely quoted your political god, the Late Sardauna of Sokoto, Alhaji Ahmadu Bello.

4words:
If APC wants to lose the election, they should not give it to Tinubu...

Tinube will simply decamp to NNPP to become presidential candidate and KwanKwaso becomes the vice with the understanding that after Tinubu , Kwankwaso becomes president.

NNPP will become the new national party.

Or why do you think Jubrin decamped. Simple, to water the ground for Tinubu.

With Tinubu in NNPP, NNPP will win SW, NC and a bit of SS. Well SE will have themselves to blame and cry marginalisation for another 16years because pride won't let them form the right alliance

Learn the game of politics but my Igbo brothers won't.

You are saying RMK is actually waiting for a politician with a 'deep pocket' and national or regional appeal, to contest the Presidency with.
His best bet will actually be Newsom Wike if Atiku did not give him the PDP VP ticket.

Baawahala:
As if the Northerners don't really know that you are the most untrustworthy tribe and you think they love you more than the Igbos. They only fear the Igbos and their strong stand on their independence.
Go to the street and ask questions.
You can win the majority vote but end up not winning the elections going by your in house calculation.

The impression of the Hausa-Fulanis have not changed of the Yeebos, even with the assassination of Ahmadu Bello 60 years ago, for speaking the truth about the despicable characters of the Yeebos.

OyeofIkoTuN:
Rubbish minority post.

Everyone is aware of how we dealt with Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa.

So run off boi.

The Yeebos attempted changing their status in the Nigerian state but unfortunately, it backfired with the annihilation of millions of Yeebos for the recklessness of their military and political leaders.
The Yeebos are actually worst off today with a 'self inflicted' disaster, the UGM, ravaging the whole of their erosion ravaged enclave.

Isaiah 3:10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.

Bar1941:
Kalu and his entire tribe are slaves to the Fulanis, they hate the Yorubas for no reason. Lawan, Atiku etc can contest without their senseless gods getting angry but the Yorubas can not?

Inferiority complex will kill this tribe.

Atiku is not, but a godfather, in Igboland.
The Igbo Nation servitude to the Fulanis,
was pioneered by Nnamdi Azikiwe, during his
'ceremonial servitude'
to The Late Sadauna of Sokoto,
Alhaji Ahmadu Bello.

Igbojew:
Oga leave Northerners out of this and stop being smart by half.
It was you Yorubas greediness that gave room for Northerners to pure out enmass for this 2023 presidency and you know it. Initially Northerners have agreed to zone the presidency to the South but immediately they saw the disunity among the Southern politicians which Tinubu and Osibanjo created they capitalised on it.....I am that Igbojew

Northerners, NO, the Fulanis, are actually the gods, Orji Kalu was making reference to, hence his decision to support a Northerner, for the Presidency, when many of his Igbo brothers, are also aspiring for the same post.

Deborah killed herself by saying what she in midst of sokoto, so I'm not blaming the murderers rather she is the one I'm blaming

I beg to disagree, Bros.
You can not be too careful with those 'blood thirsty head-slammers'.
They will always come up with an excuse for their barbaric act because they are above the Nigerian law.
The killers of the Redeemed Church lady killed in Abuja, many years ago, are still walking free as heroes in the Muslim world.

obilokechukwu:
Na only igbo trib i dey see no co-operation. When hausa/fulani want to become president yoruba, hausa and igbo jointed voter enter. Now yoruba want to enter both tribes go voter enter. Where is igbo president since 1960 independence. This is tribalism. Any igbo political leaders that want the office presidence will not get it in this country. The best winsdom is for you to channel your mind to get biafran as nnadi kanu did. This man that called nnadi kanu is a wise political igbo leader that want the best for igbo people. Igbo man, this is best time to get biafran. Yoruba and hausa fulani do not mean well for you. They are tribalism in nature.

I quite understand the bitterness and frustration captured in your post.
Prior to the event of January 1966, the Igbos were occupying very important posts and positions in every sphere of government in Nigeria.
The Igbos should do a 'soul search' and an honest self criticism of what happened on January 15th, 1966 if they are honestly interested in addressing the reason for the lack of trust of Igbos, by other political blocks and ethnic groups, in Nigeria.

The write up below, might provide an insight to the reasons why the Igbos are facing discrimination, in Nigeria.

Background to discrimination against the Igbos in Nigeria.

The events took place in the context of military coups d'etat and in the prelude to the Nigerian Civil War. The perceived lack of Igbo humility has been identified as one of the factors that sparked the pogroms, resulting in popular hostility toward the Igbos.
The immediate precursor to the massacres was the January 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat led mostly by young Igbo officers. Most of the politicians and senior army officers killed by them were northerners, including the Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto.
Aguiyi-Ironsi then assumed power, forcing the civilian government to cede authority. He established a military government led by himself as supreme commander.
In the months following the coup, it was widely noted that four of the five army Majors who executed the coup were Igbo and that the General who took over power was also Igbo. It was feared that the Igbo had set out to take control of the country and in Northern Nigeria, the fear of Igbo dominance, became intense.
On 29 July, 1966 Northern military officers carried out a counter coup in which 240 Southern officers and men, three-quarters of whom were Igbo, including Ironsi, as well as thousands of civilians of southern origin, living in the North, were systematically killed.
In the aftermath, Yakubu Gowon, a Northerner, assumed command of the military government. It is with this background that increasing ethnic rivalries led to further massacres. The massacres were widely spread in the north and peaked on the 29 May, 29 July and 29 September, 1966. By the time the pogrom ended, virtually all Igbos living in Northern Nigeria were either killed, hiding among sympathetic Northerners or on their way to the Eastern region. The massacres were led by the Nigerian Army and replicated in various Northern Nigerian cities.
Although Colonel Gowon was issuing guarantees of safety to Southern Nigerians living in the North, the intention of a large portion of the Nigerian Army at the time, was genocidal as was the common racist rhetoric among Tiv, Idoma, Hausa and other Northern Nigerian tribes.
With the exception of few Northern Nigerians, mostly army officers, who were convinced that the Igbo were not innately evil, the Southern and Eastern Nigerians were generally regarded at the time, in Northern Nigeria, as evil as described by Charles Keil;
The Igbo and their ilk...vermin and snakes to trod underfoot...dogs to be killed.

One factor that led to the hostility toward Southern Nigerians in general and Igbo in particular, was the attempt by the Aguiyi Ironsi regime to abolish regionalisation in favor of a unitary system of government which was regarded as a plot to establish Igbo domination in the Federation.
On 24 May 1966, Ironsi issued a unitary decree, which led to an explosion of attacks against the Igbo in Northern Nigeria. On 29 May, 1966, the British press was unanimous in its conviction at the time that the May 29 killings were organized and not spontaneous.
The Ironsi regime was also perceived to have been favoring Southern Nigerians in the appointment to key positions in government, thus heightening the inter ethnic rivalries.
The failure of the Ironsi regime to punish the army mutineers responsible for the January 1966 coup further exacerbated the situation.
The May 1966 pogrom was carried out by rampaging mobs with the connivance of local government officials.
According to British newspaper reports at the time, about 30,000 Igbo were killed in September 1966, while more conservative estimates put the casualties at between ten and thirty thousand for that month.
This spree of killings carried on into early October and was carried out by civilians sometimes aided by army troops and swept the entire north. It has been described as the most painful and provocative incident leading to the Nigeria-Biafra war.

Aftermath

The pogroms led to mass movement of Igbo and other Eastern Nigerians back to Eastern Nigeria (it is estimated that more than one million Igbos returned to the Eastern region). It also was the precursor to Ojukwu's declaration of Eastern Nigeria's secession from the Federation as the Republic of Biafra, and the resulting Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), which Biafra lost.

rusher14:
You registered in 2021.

You told nobody anything.

He must have passed his message using any of his numerous NL accounts.

NaijaRoyalty:
Power to elect leaders lies with the west yet, Tinubu is jumping up and down the whole place begging bowing to the northerners so endorsement ..
Even faking endorsements to score political points, you must be shameless

The guy you quoted, was referring to the 'Western Super powers' of the world.

Indispensable85:
So what have you said differently now?

All what he intend saying, with his long prose, is;
'Alhaji is a man'.

DMerciful:
Afonja kowtowing to Alimi

Unfortunately, that is how you could get support from the highest voting block, in Nigeria, especially, if you are not 'one of them'.
Azikiwe and his political goons and military cohorts violenly tried to 'turn the table', against your so called 'Alimi group', when they, the Yeebos, were trusted with power but the consequences of their action(s) is still being felt in 'Alaigbo', 60 years after their political misadventure.

IamNat:

E dey pain you say no be Amaechi.
Tinubu as you like to call him doesn't need Buhari's endorsement, he's not Amaechi the anointing oil seeker or GEJ the consensus candidate. He's the one who ensured Buhari was made president in 2015, so why would he need anybody's endorsement. Yes, he's looking out for his support, of course to add to the numbers but not any endorsement.

You are the once spreading propaganda about Amaechi been the anointed and then GEJ been the consensus

Let's give it to BAT.
He is indeed a GrandMaster in the game of Nigerian Politicking.

You could imagine placing pictures 6&7 which BAT took with GMB, on Bola Ahmed Tinubu's posters in Northern Nigeria, with the inscription,
"TAZARCHE / KHALIFA", added with any or combination of, 'sai Ahmed, sai Bola or sai Tunubu'.
It will simply match or surpass the popularity of any Northerner the PDP will likely presents as its candidate in 2023.

Benwems:
SE can't support tinubu or any yoruba person because you already know why

SS dislikes tinubu a lot. they can only support osinbajo but not Tinubu because they know tinubu is very corrupt.

.

I guess it is probably the hatred that SS & SE regions have for Alameisigha, Ibori and Kalu that made the two regions, to be 'die-hard supporters' of Turakin Adamawa, Atiku Abubakar, who was described by his boss, of being 'extremely corrupt' when he was in government.

Omenka:
Those people will soon call for Reno's head.

He said even Rotimi Amaechi..., meaning, even as popular as Amaechi is, they don't know him. This means Obi Pandora is a COMPLETELY unknown entity.

cheesy

That's not to say Reno isn't a colourful buffoon anyway.

UncommonLogic:
Only a low IQ mumu or a denial person that loves to live in falsehood and sentiments will not see what this fool just posted. Apart from the personal insult on Tinubu, Renomonkey is correct.
If APC should make the stupid mistake of fielding Osinbanjo, in fact I'll say congratulations to PDP even before the election.
The only way Osinbanjo can win is if PDP nominate someone like Obi. Any Northerner will beat him blue black.
At the end of the day the contest will be between Tinubu and Atiku. It will be close but I'm rooting for Tinubu.

'Painment', taken to a different dimension.

trutharena:
Tears and wailing is allowed.

Reno your personal lord and savior is weeping and gnashing his teeth. He knows the reality but need to give something to you Meth addicts to laugh about.

Asiwaju Jagaban, the slayer of Meth addicts home and away!

Bros, why are you so savagely disposed towards 'Lamidi Cownu's followers?

Golan007:
This photo was taken after he fled Nigeria and showed up in Israel much later.

Kanu had already converted by this time.

When is his next day, in court, before Justice Nyako, again?
Okute will get in touch with him on or before then.
Till then, stay Tuned!

Golan007:
No be protein I dey sight so?

That was before his conversion to Judaism.

christistruth01:
They Cannot be giving Nnamdi Kanu human flesh to eat in Jail he better learn how to drink Garri or eat whatever is given to him

'Lamidi Cownu' has never been a member or symphatizer of the order of 'Ogugwu Okija', infact, I have it on good authority, that the guy has been a vegetarian since his conversion to Judaism, many years ago.

MartinCorridon:


The brain reset never finish...

Coward that ran away in skirts after chestbeating like Ojukwu.

Yeye cowards. They only have black belt in wife battery and computer karate.

Point of correction, Nwanne.
Dim Ojukwu was a warlord and not a 'chest beater', like 'Lamidi Cownu'.
'Chest beating in Igboland, was pioneered by 'Lamidi Kwonu'. Uwazuruike did not run away, despite all he went through during OBJ's government.

ChoCho54:
Stupid zombies..

You that has ruled and continues to rule, what's your scorecard?

Nigeria became a headquarters of corruption and backwardness.

Poverty capital of the world!

Imagine a country where buhari without any known record of leadership success is president.

The British handed over to the illiterate Northerners who in turn invited their Yoruba mooslim brothers to come and chop.

Fantastically corrupt nation no cap!

Northerner just want power and nothing more.

Yorubas showed them with their education how to have power and also loot the treasury without trace.

Yorubas used corruption to kill all the parastatals. They killed Nig airways, Nitel, all federal ministries. For this reason, Nigeria have no strong institutions but strong men everywhere.

Strong thieves.

They loot and set the building on fire.

Failed nation!

Those you labeled as 'illiterate Northerners', actually invited your 'Christian fathers', to form a coalition government in the 1st Republic and not 'Yoruba Muslims', as you falsely claimed in your piece.
The 'illiterate Norherners' are for ever regretting giving that 'hand of friendship' to Igbo political leaders because the 'Igbo Man', is not satisfied if he does not have everything to himself.
The 'end result' of that trust, by the 'Illiterate Northerners', was the annihilation of almost all political and military leaders of Northern Nigeria and the violent take-over of the same government that the Igbos were mere 'come & chop members'.

I am not sure the descendants of the 'illiterate Northerners', will be in a hurry to forget the tragic experience their political and military leaders had with the Igbo political leaders, in the 1st Republic.
