delpee:
Whats all this about? Sounds more like the rantings of idle people to me. Strangely all my Igbo friends pronounce Ibo so i am used to that. The correction should start from your own people IMO. Anyways, all this is irrelevant. What we need is good governance to conquer poverty for the majority of our people irrespective of tribe, spellings and pronunciation. The poor have less time to raise dust on minor issues like this.
When you know who you are and u are confident in urself, whatever anybody calls you is his headache.

Dawdy:
We yorubas in my area dont say igbo neither did we say ibo, it is Igbo. even there is an idiom in yoruba it is said to sturbon ppl "koo to ko agidi bori bi faanu Igbo" how can you  be so adamant like Igbo's fan lol.

I wonder if this guy was born foolish or its a trick he learned? Damn!

Poor GEJ must have the biggest headache on Earth now!
I don't believe for one minute that the SE will be shortchanged. There are lots and lots of way's in which payback can come, from the offices the SE is demanding to powerful ministeral positions, and other unseen ways. The SE/SS marriage needs to wax stronger.

The fact that we are all Nigerians doesn't mean we share the same political strength, foresight, sophistication and sense of justice and the last election agreed with.

We sat here and read many mean spirited stories about the ACN and how they are a tribal party led by Tinubu the crook and drug dealer and how GEJ is the new ibo and the greatest human on earth. Well, the tribal party led by Tinubu the crook is almost siting in the driver's chair, GEJ is offering to the ACN what he's denying you and what you are crying for with all the fake and genuine votes you sacrificed for him and his crooked party.

Like I say always, ibo people are very self destructive, you don't look before you jump,

The way I see it, we had two levels of different choices going into this election.

1) Stay in the mainstream by voting for PDP in the national elections

or

2) Go the regional way by voting for APGA

In the mainstream, we had two choices:

a) Support our neighbor from a minority tribe

or

b) Go for VP position by teaming with a majority from the North.

Well, we chose to stay in the mainstream, and at the same time adopted our neighbor.
I was among those initially opposed to it, but, since I know that history is not ending in 2011 (at least I hope), we could try the option we did; and if it fails, we would at least know that it failed; meaning there will NEVER be such opinion by any Igbo in the future.

And that is why we are having this conversation now.

So, in essence, we lost nothing. Conversely, we gained something invaluable: EXPERIENCE.

Going forward, we will be more surefooted.

[b]No need to attache or even mention Yoruba people in your post, stand on your own 2 feet. [/b]You don lay yar bed, just relax and sleep on it jeje. You want GEJ because he's your ibo brother and he's going to toss you the presidency and you got him.

Y'all need to stop crying as usual, we don read the script way way before election and sabi how the story go end and it's proceeding as predicted. ibo people once again voted against their own interests. PDP is a party of several interest groups, not a party of people with core principles and political decency and GEJ is just a figure head with little or no power to do anything, talk less deliver anything. He himself is ruling at the mercy of other forces.


You really shouldn't be fighting and losing sleep to get anything from the PDP,

You people put your votes inside the wrong basket, PERIOD

Onlytruth:
I remember I advised Amaka to stick to romance section. Frankly she over-reacts to everything here.
The insult on justcash is completely unwarranted and came out of no where.  

We have opinions and must share them here without being unnecessarily attacked.

@topic

I think our (Igbo) problem is about to be finally resolved. This problem is OUR problem. Not other zones'.
If this plays out this way, we owe no one going forward.

I don't care whether PDP survives in SE or SS; that is not our concern. It may well survive in all parts of Nigeria; but it must be kicked out of ALL parts of Igboland if this happens.  

Our concern is to go get our fair dues in Nigeria, whether the powers that be like it or not.

Woe betide whoever stands in our way then.  

Eko Ile:
That you ibo folks shouldn't sell their souls to the most incompetent, crooked and corrupt political party in the world.


Btw, the SW did not vote for GEJ, ibo folks in the SW did. Do you need me to give you the numbers and break it down for you?

THE AMAKA:
lol, keep crying. don't worry, this thread will be used as the prodigal thread for the 25+ million Igbos, where others will come with their generalizations that we all think like you, WHEN WE CLEARLY DON'T.
yawn, keep talking, abeg.

DRlulu:
apart from being mocked i dont see what the igbo stand to achieve with even vice president position , states focused developments to me are more important and i think thats what everybody should focus on.

Eko Ile:
I no won laff, but it's very hard not to,


You can not do anything as long as money and tribal reasonings remains your primary concerns and preferred currency. You really need to stop comparing yourselves with Yoruba people because you lack our political skills, smarts, sophistication and temperament.

Can't believe you people are already begging for what you thought GEJ go deliver on a platter of gold with your 99% rigged votes.


Anyways, this is expected, we warned you people but ibo people like to learn the hard way, y'all are your own worst enemies.

THE AMAKA:
please go and siddon for one corner, abeg.
your SINGLE COMMENT will lead people to attack the entire Igbo nation. abeg, this man stands alone, if you want to insult, leave us out abeg.

So, because you are scared that Igbos would be attacked, I shouldn't air my view. Who are you to speak as if you own the Igbos? I don't know my people to be cowards. However, It doesn't mean that there are no cowards among us like you. More pathetic is that you are from Imo state. SMH.
If you have nothing to contribute, sit d'Bleep out. No dey come yarn dust here.
