These are the only marketable Igbo that can win election in Nigeria presently.

Count Peter Obi out of it because of his divisive and ethnoreligious campaign couple with his abysmal performance as governor.

Obi can only remain a presidential candidate,he can't be. President

Iweala is a deltan, Igbo should be proud of themselves without attachment

Lalasdiva:
The top 4 most marketable politicians from the south east without any EFCC case, who can withstand pressure and maintain their stance without compromising their region or brother for political favour, and have contributed positively to the region are:
1. Mr. Peter Gregory Obi
2. Dr. Alex Chioma Otti
3. Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe
4. Dr. Chris Ngige
Other politicians from the south east are driven by financial gain.

The earlier you realise that Igbo can't rule Nigeria and won't be giving a chance by no tribes the better

kettykin:
I read this and I weep for Nigeria. I read where soldiers were shooting at markets and innocent traders and I reserve my comments. It seems Hitler was a saint. Why is heaven still allowing a useless entity to still exist.

I have been wondering why despite the numbers of church goers why Nigeria has been drifting endlessly like a de orbited planet. Now I have a clue. I wish Nigeria all the shreds of luck

because
Weep for Igbo, because they haven't learned anything about their history,if not they won't calling other people's a no man's land.

LordviccoDaGuru:
The Truth about Peter Obi is beginning to come out now see below 👇👇


See the way this my guy just ended Obi political career This is just 2025 before December 2026 everywhere will be hot for Obi. We'll definitely resign Peter Obi From Politics Before December 2026, mark my words.

Obi supporters over to you

The earlier Nigerians realised that Igbo will never rule Nigeria, the better

Fulani have more access than the Igbo in Nigeria

SenatePresdo:
I don't want them to accommodate Us, let everybody chase each other out, it will be more easier to divide the country.

But you're begging for indigeneship of other people's

The truth of the matter is that none tinubu support or vote counted during the 2015 election in favour of the APC that makes Buhari president of federal republic of Nigeria for the period of 8 years.

As I used to say that votes don't count, because you can't expect a sophisticated person to count votes in favour of babyfactory or amajiri that has brainwashed against educated and oriental people.

A vote from wike is more than a million votes of babyfactory or amajiri, those clamouring for good luck Jonathan comeback are illiterate educated and doesn't know what is happening in Nigeria underworld.

Knowledge is power.

Igbo Presidency.

Gaining Political power is all about sentiments, yes, your and our sentiments. It is about how politicians use our religious, ethnic, tribal, racial and ideological sentiments to collect our votes. Perhaps, just a handful of countries have evolved enough to have a larger percentage of their population choose their leaders based on objective economic considerations and competence. The tribe, ethnicity, region and religion of every contender for the president in Nigeria are unfortunately such formidable sentiments that override other nobler criteria. Let's talk about Igbo presidency then.

Igbo presidency under the present Nigerian democracy has two openings: 2027 or 2039. To stand a chance to happen in 2027, Peter Obi remains the most formidable candidate with his one tenure strategy. All or at least majority of South Eastern elders and leaders should approach the North for an alliance and deal on this, and then make advances to the South South with humility too. Once those two regions give their support, victory is feasible. Anything short of this is vacuous rhetorics.

If 2027 isn't feasible for any reason, then the most strategic thing for Ndigbo is to whole heartedly support Tinubu's reelection, Ndigbo should carry it on their head. Then in 2031, support the Northern consensus candidate and wait for 2039 where the most popular Igbo candidate with appeal to other regions will emerge.

It will take a miracle for Igbo presidency to materializee from any other permutation, unless a miracle happens, and i dont even know what kind of miracle it is.

Let's be real and stop pandering to self defeating sentiments that cost us fortunes politically, emotionally, psychologically and economically. Our last best option for Igbo presidency was 2012, supporting Buhari was the closest. We blew it.

A people who can't learn from history are not victims but self sabotaging accomplices in their own 'marginalizations' and pains. Igbos should stop playing into the hands of 'messiahs', it is the greatest undoing of the region. Before we know it now another messiah will arise like Theudas and Judas of Acts 5 and plunge the region into another chaos, cheered by the same people who will cry tears and look for an external enemy to blame.

If the South East cannot make a solid and guaranteed deal with the North for 2027, supporting Tinubu's second tenure is the wisest political decision to make. Supporting the North in 2031 is the next wisest decision and then wait for 2039. Let's approach politics mathematically and not metaphysically bikonu.

In 500 years Igbo won't rule Nigeria

Softmirror:
Obi is saying what he is saying about a one term inorder to trick the North for their support. There is nothing more to the reason for saying so all because of the gentle man agreement of power returning to the North in 2027. So if Obi should win which is almost a zero probability. He wants to make the North have confidence in him that he will hand over in 2027 which of course it is a big lie.

Handover in 2027 to the north?

And honor is our crown.

I have in me Boldness,
Fierceness,
And Compassion.
I am both warrior and diplomat,
Both fire and water.
I know when to build and when to defend.

I am Igbo.
Our graves are sacred,
Resting places untouched by greed or desecration.
We honor our ancestors,
Speak their names,
And pour libations in their memory.
As skilled as we are, no skull is mined.
Our greatness does not come from plunder,
But from creation.
We build, we nurture, we remember.

I am Igbo,
I stand like a garrison,
Fortified, unshaken, a force in comparison.
With explosive receipts, I chase down thousands,
Truth on my tongue, my words form the fountains.
A thinker, a warrior, a mind sharp as steel.
Through battles of mind and the wars of the facts,
I sing for the just, a relentless war drum.
A lion in motion, yet love in my veins.
I speak with a blade,
Cutting through lies with the truths I have laid.
I speak with a blade,
Cutting through lies with the truths I have laid.

I am Igbo.
Generous in heart, vast in spirit.
My home is open, my table abundant.
I take pride not just in what I build, but in what I share.
In my culture, a stranger is family waiting to be embraced.
My love is deep, my loyalty unwavering.

I am Igbo.
Intelligence runs through my veins.
I do not just follow the world’s pace, I set it.
I innovate, I strategize, I lead.
In business, in academia, in the arts,
My name is etched in brilliance.
When an Igbo mind is at work, the world watches.

I am Igbo.
Every December, no matter how far I roam,
I return home.
Because my wealth is not complete until it touches my land.
Aku ruo ulo.
I go to celebrate, to give thanks,
To stand before my ancestors and declare,
“I have done well, bless me to do more.”

I am Igbo.
Our women are unmatched,
Beauty and brilliance woven into one.
They do not just turn heads, they command rooms.
They are fierce, elegant, and unforgettable.
To love an Igbo woman is to understand the meaning of strength wrapped in grace.

I am Igbo.
The richest tribe in Africa,
Not just in wealth, but in willpower,
in culture,
In the audacity to be extraordinary.
My people do not just survive, we dominate.
We are envied, we are admired,
we are unstoppable.

I am Igbo.
A force of nature.
A legend in motion.
My name carries weight, my legacy is eternal.
I do not ask for recognition, I carve my place in history.

I am Igbo,
And the World Knows it.

And you're begging for indigeneship of other people's

ibabz:
If you've been paying attention to recent trends, you'll notice that the Hausa-Fulani, once the Southwest's political allies and “beautiful bride" are slowly shifting their allegiance. Our dear Igbo brothers from the South are also beginning to reassess their stance. At this rate, I wonder which region will still be there to stand by you when it truly matters. Don’t let the ambition of one man destroy the delicate harmony that once existed between the West and the rest of the country.

South south and south west are together right from time, nobody needs your alliance to succeed

helinues:
Some people can't keep on disrespecting others and think things would remain same. Ko possible

How many Nigerian tribes are willing to reside in South East,talk less of begging for their indigeneship.

You claimed that you're the most successful tribe in Africa, and yet begging to be indigenous of other people's.

ibabz:
Disclaimer
This piece is personal. You’re free to disagree, but I hope you read with an open heart. If your response is petty or vindictive rather than honest and constructive, I won’t stay silent. Be guided.

I remember the joy of growing up in Nigeria when names didn’t matter, when tribes didn’t divide us, and when children laughed without knowing where you “came from.” My friends were from Sokoto, Cross River, Borno, Delta, Lagos, Enugu. We played, ate, and fought like brothers, not strangers.

Back then, whenever anyone asked,
“Where are you from?” I’d smile and say, “I’m from Nigeria.” The confusion on their faces used to amuse me. Some expected me to say Lagos. Others guessed Maiduguri or Delta. None ever got it right. I liked it that way. I liked not being boxed in.

But that world? That innocence? It’s fading. And it hurts.

I’ve watched with a heavy heart how the very question of “Where are you from?” now builds walls between us. Walls built on prejudice. On suspicion. On politics. On lies.

In Nigeria, I’ve seen how people cling to the idea of “state of origin” as if it were carved into stone. But it’s not. Our ancestors didn’t drop from the sky. They moved. They wandered. They settled. They left one land for another, again and again, until they found a place to call home. From there another offspring moved and found another land they could call their home.

I remember visiting riverine communities as a USAID M&E officer. The elders told me how their people, fishermen used to spend days near rivers far from their villages. So, they built huts. Then homes. Then brought their wives. Their children were born there. Years passed. Generations passed. And now, those children say, “This is where we are from.” And honestly, they’re right.

So tell me, what is “origin,” really?

If Ile-Ife Was the Start, Where Did Oduduwa Come From? Some say all Yoruba people came from Ile-Ife. Others whisper stories about Oduduwa coming from Arabia. I’ve even heard claims that the Igbos trace their roots to Israel.

And if you believe the Bible, then our first father was Adam and our first address? The Garden of Eden.

So again, I ask: if everyone is from somewhere else, why do we use “where you’re from” to divide, exclude, and judge

I’ve travelled. I’ve lived outside Nigeria. And let me say this clearly: I’ve never seen a place where ancestral origin holds this much power over people’s lives.

In most places, what matters is where you are born, not where your great-grandfather migrated from. A child born in Texas is American. A child born in London is British. A child born in Lagos should be Nigerian-Lagosian even not labeled a “settler.”

And yet in Nigeria, that same child might be told, “You’re not from here.”

Why?

We’ve Institutionalized Division. Look at our school admissions. Some children are denied entry not because they’re not smart, but because their “state of origin” has higher cut-off marks. Others are told they don’t “belong” in civil service jobs. In their own country.

Our Constitution enshrines this. “Federal Character” was meant to give everyone a fair shot. But now? It’s being used to tell people they’re not welcome in places they’ve lived their whole lives.

Even our politics is soaked in tribal identity. Parties pick candidates by zones, not merit. People vote based on language, not leadership. And when violence breaks out? It’s often neighbors turning on neighbors, all in the name of “origin.”

If We Changed One Law, Everything Could Change

Imagine a Nigeria where your identity comes from where you're born or where you grow up. Imagine a Nigeria where…

A Hausa boy born in Lagos is simply Lagosian.

A Yoruba girl raised in Enugu is considered Igbo by identity.

A Tiv child born in Port Harcourt is treated as a Rivers native.

Do you know what that would do? That would unite us. That would heal us. That would build families that reflect the beautiful blend of who we are.

My fear for the Southwest. We used to be admired. Loved. Respected. The bride of the nation. But today, I see other regions slowly pulling back. The warmth is turning cold. The trust is wearing thin.

Worse still, our youth, the ones who should be wiser are becoming tools in political hands. Chanting division. Spreading hate. And I fear: the seeds of tribalism we’re planting now may one day grow into trees too tall to chop down.

A time may come when no region will trust us again. When we’ll cry out about marginalization and wonder how it all slipped away.

I am proud to be Black. But not just because I’m Yoruba.

I am proud to be African. But not just because I’m from Lagos.

I am proud to be Nigerian. Because that name, Nigeria, carries the weight of all our tribes, all our languages, all our dreams.

Let’s Break the Cycle.
What if we stopped asking “Where are you from?” and started asking “Where are you going?”

What if we raised our children not to carry the burden of tribal scars, but the hope of a united country?

What if we taught them that “home” is where you build your life, not just where your ancestors once lived?

That is the Nigeria I believe in. That is the Nigeria I still pray for.

South east people should stay in their region that's the reality,no tribes is ready to grant them indigeneship anywhere in Nigeria.

LegendHero:
Ronuu people, una do this one well.

We say no to indigenous bill. Simple as APC.

I give Yoruba 100% for their impact on this issue.
Just within 24 hours they have set everywhere on red alert, Yoruba no be your mate abeg meanwhile somebody in creek are drinking not knowing what is happening in the country.

2mch:
If Kalu put pressure on SE governors to perform, he won’t need to be sponsoring eleya bills. So after removing indegeneship laws and even peaceful regions become unstable. Where will you keep running to Kalu? We will now all run to Togo, Ghana and Benin Republic to now start demanding the same things that destroyed our country in their own country? You better sit down and hold your Governors to account, so you don’t have to be running all over the country in ridicule and trying to change laws to help hide your shame.

The worst thing is that the whole tribes in Nigeria have now understood who the Igbo really are in terms of manipulation and lies.

These video shows a few parts of a local government council in Anambra state.

The northern people especially the people of Bornu, despite the boko haram activities etc

They remain in their territories but our neighbour here always hopes to go and develop other people places according to them while their land continues ravaging.

The reality remains that there's nothing like a future for an average Igbo in the south east.

Ask yourself why is it that their representatives at the high level are sponsoring a proposal indigeneship that has failed already.

Odingo1:
Igbos constitute 45% of Lagos population and that make them a majority tribe in Lagos, the remaining 55% is divided among other tribes Hausa, Ijaw, etc, with Yorubas struggling to grab 40% even Egun, Awori doesn’t see theirselves as full Yorubas, if not for intimidation and violence against Igbos in elections, Igbos will almost win all senate and house of rep seat in Lagos.

They have started sweeping 🧹 all of you under the carpet since you all lost your history and where you came from

givedemwotowoto:
Even if Kwankwaso works with Tinubu in 2027, there’s no clear path to victory.



If you disagree, show us your own math. Election is a game of numbers.

Election is a game of power not numbers.

By Izunna Okafor, Awka

Yet-to-be-identified number of persons are feared dead as a speeding tipper crashed into people along the Chisco Park Junction in Amichi, Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The crash, which occured at about 9:30pm on Friday night, July 25, came as shock to many, given the short period within which everything happened.

According to video from the scene of the crash and a CCTV footage that captures the incident, the people were doing the their usual night business and engaging in their usual activities when the tipper uncontrollably rammed into them, knocking many down, including motorcyclists, little girl, bystanders, and some petty traders.

Some road users who saw the tipper on time were able to escape the tragedy, which is suspected to have been caused by brake failure.

The video footages also show some of the knocked-down victims lying on the ground, while some residents and other road users are seen bemoaning the incident and offering rescue assistance to the victims.

Efforts by this reporter to get the confirmation of the crash from the Corps Commandant of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Anambra State, CC Nnennaya Alexander, proved abortive, as she was yet to respond to the videos and the inquiry sent by the reporter, as at the time of this report.

However, the Spokesperson of the Command, RC Margaret Onabe, promised to get back to the reporter, but was yet to do so as at the time of this publication.
