Nigeria needs a patriotic and detribalized dictator, instead of these softies.
Nigeria needs to adopt 80 percent socialism (communalism) and 20 percent capitalist . The current 100 percent capitalist system is not favorable to Africans.
The solution now:
Demolish everything and build mass housing like these for the poor.
demolish all villages and use the lands as farm lands. ban all importations . Enact swift death penalty for ritual killing,kidnapping,armed robbery,corruption .

We should not pray for the Cambodia style imposed Pol Pot. Black man's version may be more brutal.

TotoGame:
This can't work in a sophisticated state like Anambra

Mrs obiano's defeat will be legendary!

Amen. May the will of ndi Anambra prevail

Khaleepha5681:
I know he is good enough in many areas,but he will be one-sided. The country would develop under him,but through southeastern only.

I understand this concern. I hope he will find a way to reassure other Nigerians. But we should not miss the opportunity

ScamHunter:
Between Ndigbo and Nigerians, who need Igbo presidency more? The truth is that Nigeria needs Igbo presidency more than Igbo needs it.
Apart from having functional ports in Calabar, Port Harcourt and Warri, what benefit would Ndigbo get from a presidency?
Nigerians are afraid of what Ndigbo can become with power considering that even without it, no tribe has fared better that Igbo. Just name one tribe that is better off than Igbo despite looting the country for decades while Igbo have been on the sideline.

They're afraid of Ndigbo that would scale ahead on a level playing field. Now could you imagine that what Ndigbo achieved in Biafra 60 years ago such as locally refining crude oil, building warship, war tanks, rockets, airfields, bombs and roads are still mere dream to Nigeria of today.

Some of us do not even want the Igbo presidency thing to happen. An Igbo country is a better deal for Ndigbo than a retrogressive country.

Many of the people don't even know why they don't want an Igbo to be president.

Khaleepha5681:
As long as Atiku or Osinbajo is president... There will be no more 5% or 97%.

I warn Nigerians from voting the likes of Kwankwaso,Wike,Obi,Elrufa'i,Tambuwal etc.

The best ones are Atiku,Osinbajo,Tinubu,Dave Umahi. But Tinubu's old age is reading on him...he would be another Buhari,where cabals would be ruling us.

LOL you are afraid of Obi. But he's the best candidate in terms of performance. Creative leadership is key and he's got it. Don't be scared by his thick Igbo accent. He is more lagosian than Igbo. LOL

What we all know about Evans till date might just be fake and contrived stories

Not most. All.

Nigeria is not ready for the type of leadership Peter Obi will bring. The country is collectively not mature for sensible leadership. I know the country wide sentiment is against an Igbo presidency. Most of our politicians are not seeing the hand writing on the wall blinded by ambition. What it means is another 8 years of nepotism, bigotry and all the like. At least the Igbo elite who still see a future with one Nigeria can begin to align IPOB. Simple and short.

Brendaniel:
Oga be calming down, these thieves are not respected in igbo land, the only thing protecting them is one Nigeria, that's why they are having problem on both sides( their people and the federal government)

It's only one Nigeria that thrust these people on the south east. There types are role models in other parts of Nigeria.

Jagunlabiodua:
It's the reality, Goodluck Jonathan Azikiwe is from the Eastern Region of Nigeria and ruled for six yrs.

You people are amazing. Simple.

mrvitalis:
Peter obi if he said that just lost a supporter ...no to socialist again in Nigeria

Every one should pay tax ...even if it's #100..even if it's #5 let them pay ....#5 times 200 million is 1 billion

If I am president first things first is open a free portal ...every business must be registered and owners data taken ...from grandnut seller to hawker to dangote ...every single business must be registered for free

If u do business without registration u would be charged to work on government farm for 6 months or pay a fine of 10 million

Every business must be taxed ...hotels , eateries , restaurants will taxed a sales tax of 20% ... clubs a sales tax of 35% ( state it was generated keeps 60% gives federal 40% ,)

Every primary and secondary school with school fees over 50k a term would be taxed 20% education tax , above 150k they would be taxed 40%
Universities with school fees above 500k would be taxed 20% ...above 2 million 30%
Those who schooled abroad would be required to pay a tax of $10,000 dollars before NYSC

Every keke owner would pay 50k road tax , Salon cars 150k road tax , commercial buses and vans 150k road tax, trucks 250k road tax and trailers 400k road tax ( state of registration keeps 60%,)

Imported clothes 30% tax

For every expatriate u employ ...u would pay 100% of his take home pay as tax

Etc

There is no how u can't generate $50 billion a year if u tax effectively

Have we not tried this for ages? It has never worked. We need something else.

Jagunlabiodua:
Wake up there can never be anything like Micro zoning because no Nigerian presidential elections have been microzoned not even in 1999 or 1993 when Yoruba won the presidential elections. The issue of Eastern president is possible but won't be by micro zoning, Let's take Atiku as an example he contested against Yaradua, Jonathan, Buhari, he didn't respect rotation. The West have done their part and left power out of the West for 16yrs no Western leader contested since 2003 for the Northerners and Easterners to be ruling. Now power must return to the West because the power has rotated North & East, and West Kept their own part of the deal and that's why you see the Northerners supporting the West, While the Easterners who ruled for 6yrs with Azikiwe Jonathan Goodluck are fighting the West. They forgot Nigeria is three Hausa Igbo and Yoruba. The Eastern Region have ruled from 2010-2015 quotee author=Jomonix post=109750542]Afegbua wants a southern present on grounds of justice and fairness. But when queried about micro zoning on the basis of the same fairness and equity he goes silent. Shows he is being mischievous. He is playing a script for one particular candidate. No doubt about this.

Your thoughts are amazing in hypocrisy and deviousness. LOL

Validated:
We know where Afegbua's interest lies. He demonstrated it in 2020, when he stood against PDP in Edo State. He is an APC mole, working for Tinubu. Otherwise, why is not asking Nigerians to beg Tinubu and SW to respect equity that he 'preaches'? If 2023 is for South, then let it go to SE. If not, let everyone be free to contest.

exactly my thoughts

Afegbua wants a southern present on grounds of justice and fairness. But when queried about micro zoning on the basis of the same fairness and equity he goes silent. Shows he is being mischievous. He is playing a script for one particular candidate. No doubt about this.

I strongly believe that the music playing today will change at some point to the benefit of the oppressed

Be like say oga Baywood is interested.

vanbonattel:
Asari, Nigeria needs the south Eastern part of Nigeria more than the south east needs Nigeria.

Since after the civil war, Nigeria leaders has been fighting its citizens and targeting them with hunger, deprivation and criminal neglect

The south Eastern Nigeria is the only growing part of the country, and Nigeria is fighting the region with exclusion from federal projects.

There are over 50 south Eastern people that can save Nigeria, but who the gods wants to destroy, they first make mad.

South East should stand aside and let the current leaders destroy Nigeria by their hands, the south east will still profit from the carcass of Nigeria


Asari, what about the black soot killing your people, you have to talk about that first.

Agu ka ibu.

Christistruth00:
It would be lovely to have an Igbo President if he can love all Nigerians like himself irrespective of Tribe

Only an Igbo will treat all parts of Nigeria fairly. However those of you who are used to large chunks will feel shortchanged when you get your fair share.

mrvitalis:
They are the best industrial city Nigeria have by miles ...

Ota with the government infrastructure ,( gas pipeline ,closeness to sea port ) can't compare this two city in terms of infrastructure n livability

That's why Igbos don't compare ourselves with the rest of Nigeria at all
Given the disadvantages we have we could have made excuses but we are here no tribe in Nigeria can achieve same all this being equal none

Kudos for this post

Christistruth00:
Nnamdi Kanu Of IPOB and his daily dose of broadcasted Tribalistic hate rants from morning to night all day and everyday all year round did a lot of damage


That is the simple Truth

The prospect of having an Igbo president is a big scare for many. But tomorrow has come

mrvitalis:
Lmao ...Nigeria needs Igbo to rule Nigeria than Igbo needs it

Lmao what's their about ruling Nigeria

Me and several Igbo people never made so much money like we made under Buhari from people like u .... business has never been this good ...lmao

Keep putting dumb people into power Igbo middle class would keep expanding ...dollar add #10 we are 20 per unite of goods ..customs increase import duty we multiple it by 5 divide it by the goods and add to the price ...Una must buy

Sit down calculate how much of your monthly income goes to an Igbo man ..u go calm down

Thanks for this post

Igbo amaka. Ethnic bigots have no choice but to learn to live with the Igbo. No chicanery will invalidate the objective whose time has come. Nigeria can you hear! Tomorrow has come. The great Igbo tribe amaka

I don't know if it is the same interview that I watched. Orji Kalu answered all the questions with ease and confidence. People can go very far to assassinate the character of their opponents. I know most Yoruba would wish the entire Nigeria come against Igbo bid to rule Nigeria. I expect a lot of blackmail to follow.

DCatt:
This man feels intimidated standing by a giant and has been crying his eyes out since Tinubu declared for 2023 when he should be doing his own politicking. You will never hear his name in Tinubu's mouth because he's irrelevant.

When you have to say it out loud that Tinubu doesn't own the party, maybe it's because you actually feel he owns it.

Tinubu cannot intimidate Orji Uzor Kalu. Not possible.

Jagunlabiodua:
Nigeria is Divided into 3 regions and 3 tribes
Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. North, West and East

A Buhari and Azikiwe just finished ruling and now it's the time for Adekunle to rule and that's it anyone who thinks he can play smart to deny the Yoruba presidency 2023 is fooling himself it's not even a contest and the Northerners know that, that's why you see them not contesting

I am happy as I scan various opinion through the net, majority of Nigerians notwithstanding tribal connections prefer to be together in a just and fair country. Your type is going into negligible minority. It is the turn of the South East. The great Yoruba race have had theirs and they have another after the Igbo. Thanks.

Is this a joke. Anambra needs simple economic solutions. The money and allowances for these heavy weights will drain our coffers

Ovamboland:
Then all these it's our turn nonsense should stop. Let everyone go into the field and contest

But it is the turn of the Sout East. Power in a federal state such as Nigeria should be rotated. All components must have a sense of belonging.

Ovamboland:
Like when Eastern region in 2960 aligned with North to leave West in opposition and monopolized available federal appointments.
And they did same thing in 1979 when Eastern leading politicians cut a deal with NPN to ensure West does not emerge as president and got VP and speaker positions while west got nothing.

How much concern did East have for for how the West felt for 23 years? This one you are preaching sanctimonious sermon I don't understand.

We want leadership for the benefit of all Nigeria not only for a section. The idea is to bring dividends to all ethnic groups not just a few. We cannot continue with lop-sided governance style. Do you get it.

life2017:
Tinubu teeths are now clean and white.

Maybe if he can rebuild his teeth, maybe he can rebuild Nigeria

I believe he saw this possibility from the Manchester City Manager. Nice one though. Clean teeth, clean Nigeria

Jagunlabiodua:
The Selfishness of the Igbos is beyond Yorubas comprehension, The Eastern Region just left power in 2015 and Now it's the turn of the Western Region and there is nothing the Easterners can do about it. The North knows how to play politics and they will show you Easterners how to play politics just watch as North pours out love and support for the Yorubas just as Yorubas gave the Northerners Joy when they brought Goodluck down who is an Eastern President

Please is ex president Jonathan an Igbo. Do you call everyone one in the former Eastern region Igbo? You are making a very big mistake oga

AbijaJ:
If Igbos could hate Awolowo (both while alive and in death) who never governed any of their states in his lifetime, to the extent of spreading lies about him commiting suicide by ingesting rat poison, how much more Tinubu? Bottom line is that they hate strong Yoruba leaders. They instead try to prop up weak Yoruba leaders that they can intimidate and control. If Igbos say they like any Yoruba leader it is because they perceive such person as being weak.

Hate is on both sides my friend. The scale of hate is heavier on your side bros
