I guess we are also not paying for the loans taken in 2009 to 15 or the loans obi took as Governor too.

Vote obi, tinubu and atiku out for the benefit of Nigeria
Obi never took a loan as a governor rather he paid off debts accumulated by previous administrations.Go and verify.

According to the creator of this thread, he said:
"But what is most interesting is that all of these people are tagging the infamous 1966 coup as an Igbo coup as they have always done; erroneously so."

A Coup that was masterminded, orchestrated and executed by key heartless people like ; Chukuwama Nzeogwu, Anuforo,Onwuatuegwu, Emmanuel Efeajuna, Humphrey Chukwuma, Don Okafor from one tribe and One ethnic group only is what?


Is it a Fulani coup? Our problem in this country is when the truth is against our interest or affiliations, we always tend to see it as campaign of calumnies against us.

Truth should always be truth, irrespective of whether it favour us or not.
And the plain truth is that what happened that day jan. 15th 1966, was more of an organised Ethnic cleans!ng, a tr!bal war not just a coup.

Because after all this, Umunnakwe Aguyi-Irons! (the head of state then) from same tribe, did nothing in bringing this people to justice.
You mean the same coup that was aborted by Col. Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi is what you term Igbo coup?

Yeye dey smell.

There was a time I visited somebody in Kirirkiri, I wept bittterly and uncontrollably with what I saw.

Just three weeks the lady stayed there, she has changed entirely, looking so unkept, malnourished and tattered. Her mensuration was even dropping the day I came, I have to go and buy pad.

She later told me that an abroad based NGO donated pads for them but the Prison warders shared it amongst themselves. I broke down uncontrollably as how inhumane those warders can be.

Last week when returning from work, A prison van broke own with inmates coming back from court. I parked, bought some snacks for the inmates unfortunately the warders wanted to corner the snacks I resisted and demanded they share it to the inmates before I leave which they did. When I was leaving, they were asking me for their own, I looked at them and in my mind I was like these people have no conscience.

udeh3:
Are you saying what you know or mere perception?

I'm not an Igbo nor Yoruba person, but one thing I know is that Obi is carting away over 40% of Lagos vote.

I work in Island, but stay in mainland. My industry is the real estate, so, I can categorically tell you due to my exposure and relationships with the money bags here and other engineers, many elites in this state are queueing behind Obi. As we speak, the real estate industry is seriously suffering due to the poor economic policies of PMB, which BAT isn't different.

This industry, couple with the Alaba, Ikeja Computer Village, Idumota and Oshodi boys dominate Lagos big boys, most of them are actually from Igbo extractions. With the high clearing cost of goods, forex market in accessing dollars...

Obi is pulling over 40% of votes here. I've never come across one of them talking about BAT. Most of them secretly discuss the option of Osibanjo and Obi before, and now, Obi is the only one they trust for economic revamping... Apart from the being Igbo's turn which I believe it should be, since my region and other major tribe has tasted the highest seat, he's the most competent, articulate and vibrant. He has openly told the high and mighty that they should go and dip deep, if they found any money he took from those offices he held for years, he will stepdown. Uptill now, this challenge hasn't been countered or challenged. None of the candidates, I mean, none can throw an open challenge like this. So, there's this openness and corrupt–free dude in town. A prudent and frugal candidate

Coming down to Mainland where I live. Berger precisely, almost everywhere is Obi. My MD is Yoruba. He has invested much in this Obi's campaign without knowing him. The CDAs here are mainly talking about Obi

Only bigots who don't understand business or economic still talks about BAT. Even the radio and TV stations here are more of the Obi's presidency. One can know from the way they speak and talk. Nigerian Info is arguably the most popular here in terms of content and information and I can tell you, most discuss and response from callers will give you the feel that Obi is having the upper hands

This is the real situation

Nigeria actually deserve better. I was looking forward to a debate between Osibanjo and Obi presidency. Obi won this election when Osibanjo wasn't given the APC ticket. We look forward to better candidates in the future, but for the now, Obi has the love

God bless Nigeria
Truely you are on ground in Lagos and really understand the situation of things.

I am an Engineer. Yesterday on site, my client a yoruba man made a joke, if I wanted to hijack his. site with Igbos the way Peter Obi hijacked Lagos voters. There was so much laughter from all of us. The man categorical told everyone to go and collect their PVC and vote Obi.

My Pastor whom the wife is top ranking Judical Officer in Lagos came to church on sunday showing his PVC shouting "OUR LOKAN" and seriously preached against the rubbish " EMI LOKAN" statement.

Take this from me, Tinubu will loose Lagos. Greater percentage of the elite are against him.

[quote author= post=119743005]It will happen one day when we Igbos learn and start playing politics the right way.......




Unfortunately, we told them the below 8 years ago,
2014, but our people never listened to us.
2023 would have been the best and perfect time for us Igbos to Rule, but for where, they pitched their tent with politics of hatred and bitterness.
It's a shame.
The below is the HARD TRUTH, for your reading pleasure.



NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party.
The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda.
So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe.
I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake.
Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence.
The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.
That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 
Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'.
We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who 

Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today.
Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023".
"Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one and a half tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?
really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary responses from nonentities .
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 


Please, people should stop getting it twisted.
Not all Igbos are Ipobs cannibals, murderers and animals.
We igbos are great, sensible and good people.
We won't allow some miscreants and cannibals that are not up to 1% of our tribe/population to keep giving us bad image in the face of other Nigerians and the WOLRD at large.

We will keep making this clear everytime we come across where anyone want to juxtaposed us together with forests animals , AKA Ipobs swines.
We are not cannibals in our tribe, we do not eat human beings...... NEVER!!

We Rise. [/quote]The smart politics you all played since 2015 simply landed Nigeria in 77 trillion debt.

Igbos will.never be part of such foolishness and we wont be apologetic to any idiot that thinks otherwise.

APC especially Tinubu should tender an unreserved apology to Goodluck Jonathan,.

Tinubu should also step down from the presdential race for proving he is a fraud, deceit, fraud,ignoramus,one who places his wicked selfish interest above national interest.

2015 APC demonized Jonathan when he wanted to remove subsidy, the economy was even in a better shape to absolve the shock, now Tinubu is telling us subsidy must go.
