A nice piece. Worth the entire read.
Our major problem in Nigeria is education... We need massive education of our people. We believe 'good' news about our locations are not newsworthy, well, except it's to show off against other 'ethnicities'.
When you look at our annual budget on education and place it with the UN recommended standard... You'll just weep.

PDP is penetrating the north .... PDP would get 40% or more in states like sokoto ,bauchi , zamfara , kaduna and largely Kano and this is largely north west ... without buhari on the ballot ...turn out would drop ...umiah is loved by the north ,.....with a North West vice ....Peter obi or umiah are sure of 35% to 45% of North west votes

North east , with it Christian population n PDP strength , PDP can easily get 4O%

North Central is going to be shared

South south 75% PDP ,and revenge for 2015
South west ...igbos would get 30% no doubt ...we would be ready in Lagos ... violence for violence , blood for blood

South east ...98% PDP you self know

The maths is simple ....u won't get block vote from the north like PMB simple

When you quote abitrary percentages without statistical back up, it's just so amusing. 98% of South east is less/equa to 98% in Kano.
Anyways, k'oréé dika isi kwuo... Adios!

mrvitalis:

Umiah ,Peter obi , soludo ,chidoka ,who ever decide to contest would get over 80% support from igbos ...at least 60% from South south
And surely 25% from South West can u say the same for tinubu ?

There is no politician in South West that's a match for Peter obi or umiah ... absolutely no in terms of performance none

Who told u they are not negotiating ? Must they expose their strategy for u to know they are working ?

The people you listed are laughable, reason is non of them have enough appeal outside the Eastern Nigeria! Chidoka and Soludo are way too off the mark- I hope you don't argue this.
As for Obi and Umahi, both are pdp... How can they match tinubu(or whoever he's fronting) in terms of nothern votes...? See, politics is not a straight path, you've got to want it to a point it's practically impossible to deny you. I expected Umahi to be a full-time member of Apc by now if indeed he's serious! All the political structures in Ebonyi and Imo should be dominated by the Apc... That's what it means to actually want it bro!
Now this is the bombshell- if the Yoruba secures 2023 Apc presidential ticket, Igbos should forget winning with pdp as it's practically and politically impossible! There best bet in pdp will be supporting a northerner, with the hope of getting it by 2032. Yes, politics is that serious even though it sounds funny! In all sincerity (I hope I'm wrong) Igbos are not prepared to be president come 2023.
The only high ranking igbo politician in Apc with a lot of appeal in the north has been caged, at least for now- Orji Uzo Kalu. And his brethren are foolishly celebrating..

mrvitalis:

You guys are funny ? How do you know if they are preparing or not ?
You guys just poke nose on other forgetting u are doing same if not worse ...

Tell me one thing any Yoruba person has done that an igbo politician hasn't done towards 2023

Anyone critical of Igbo politicians automatically becomes a Yoruba.. anyway, that's not the issue now.
1/3 of Yoruba will gladly support tinubu or whoever he backs come 2023, who do we have in the east that's seriously contemplating to be the head of state and enjoys such support from us..? That should bother any well meaning Igbo man/woman. All the governors are after is going to the Senate to continue siphoning public funds for themselves and cronies.
This is time for negotiations, lobbying and compromise not when we're in 2022, you'll see them running from Piller to posts looking for who to blame.
As for doing something, my brother, NON OF THEM is doing anything. If they were, we'll be aware.

mrvitalis:
The simple truth is only equity and justice can unite the south ...but yorubas want to be the Lord's of the south ....

All igbos are saying is simple , let's as south maintain the zoning formulae , that's the only way any of us stand a chance against north ,
Today it's igbo turn buh just because yorubas think they can get northern votes they want to put an end to zoning ,it's crazy but we igbos just they watch by the side

Oga stop talking about politics like it's a business of buying and selling cars... It's much more. This is the exact same reason why the Igbo are not getting enough from the federation.
All Igbo is saying this and that Everytime..
How many of the Eastern governors and political class are currently gearing up for the office of the president? Instead of putting their houses in order and speaking with one voice, they are busy bringing down some other persons... Even the ones that try to play national politics you criticize them as being slaves to notheners..
Tell me one Igbo man that is seriously vying for the office of the president and have the support of 1/3 of the political class in Igbo land!
That should be your concern, not what Yoruba is/is not doing.
I hope you understand.

Dino wey mumu

goodnessme1:
You don't know yoruba mods.
They will leave the thread but open about yorubas they will rush and delete it.



Is a waste of time reporting to them.

It's automatic. Just report and the topic/comment is removed immediately. Try it next time.

goodnessme1:
Yoruba muslim leave Igbo matter.



I don't know why you people are so hateful.

Instead of quoting, just report and get the topic removed. Stop making the guy visible.

edoairways:

More epidemic is still coming as it is not over yet.

It's anticipated. Very normal.

bamasite2:
Wrong comparison. I hate long arguments but are you aware that states in the US are fighting each other in a price war to be the one to first receive ventilators from Chinese manufacturers?
The law of demand and supply favour innoson and this is time for him to gain world wide recognition. Imagine a US state ordering for 500 ventilators from innoson! Do you know the amount of free publicity - quality PR he will get? Let us imagine the impossible that he produces the ventilators and Nigeria does not buy from him (of course that is impossible). Many foreign countries and private donors will buy from him

See them talking about demand and suppy.. go and read why multinational pharma.. were reluctant to produce ebola vaccine. And who told you it's impossible Nigerian govt won't buy from him when the Minister for health have come out to say they may not need more ventilators for treatment... As for selling to Europe and America, well, charity they say, begins at home.

Idzitari1:
Bashir is right. Innoson is not ready to contribute anything to help humanity rather he see this as an opportunity to become dangote.

Tell that to car makers in USA that needed Trump to implement the defense act before producing..

oyatz:
Many people are dieing in Spain, Italy, UK and USA.

There are many Countries that will buy the Innoson ventilators, he doesn't need the Federal Government to direct me to start producing a scarced commodity that's in hot demand all over the world.

This is a very foolish comment and it's very easy to see that you are not a business man, just like Bashir.

Mmuoojukwu:
The biggest problem with Nairaland is that majority of the members don't read, they write rubbish. At least read before writing so that you don't write off point.

Bro, the truth is nobody gets the president by blackmail, at least, not a public one. How many of the political class in Igbo land are ambitious enough for the presidency. Since 1999, how many Igbos have flown the flag of the major political parties in a general election..? You need to want it so badly you can go any length just to have it.. at that point, it becomes difficult to discard you. How many times did buhari contest again before getting it..? What's stopping our political class from being the pdp flag bearer in 2023 or we simply support Apc..? That's how to fight.

UncleSege75:
How come have never heard of Spanish flu

Because you were busy hearing herdsmen, boko Haram, Ipob, wailer, zombie.... Next time, pause and you'll hear.

And what are the reasons for previous epidemics and pandemics that killed millions before recent advancements in medicine...? Mumu pastor with mumu followers...

Don't be in a hurry to conclude bro... What you don't know, you don't know!
Won't say more than that.

Ghen ghen...

And the virus is more deadly among the elderly... I reject it. My president is not old!

God, you know my heart desires even when 'eye service/fear' won't allow me say it.

Very simple.. I'll just kill T.A Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu.

Are you not from Ondo again...? Or was your account hacked..?
If you're looking for a job I can help you.

Guy are you really this jobless...?
You're not even proud of your Ondo state again..?

helinues:


Between Oshiomole and Obaseki, who has more support base in Edo state?

Between the two, who wields more power presently?
You don't know what a crazy governor can do... Check:
Amaechi and Odili
T. A Orji and Orji Uzor Kalu
Obiano and Peter Obi ...
No be only support dey win elections in this country my dear.

Buhari that was asking for the meaning of inclusive growth the other time.... It's well, even for inside well.

helinues:
Lies

Oshiomole is too stubborn and arrogant to let Obaseki go like that. Infact he might no mind to loose his chairman position just to see Obaseki gone.

We are watching and reading as things unfold

I understand you though but I think it's beyond that now. Oshiomole is still important in Apc today is because of his office as chairman. If he lost that then he's no longer a threat and have no say on who becomes governor of Edo state. Obaseki will just have him conered at a place throughout the period of elections.
The simple logic is allow Obaseki have the party ticket, after 4 years, he'll be done. Or better still, allow him the ticket, support another candidate from a different party and try to use the court to finish work.

@op how does one get this kind of job you're doing...? In the last few days/weeks the kind of anti Obaseki thread from you no be here.. let's be calm and watch as things unfold. The primary's at coner.

People should not use those pics of dirty streets to represent Aba tomorrow .

On a more serious note, this kind explosion that shattered roofs of houses far from the scene no be here oh... Once I witnessed the collapsed of a storey building, sound felt like the end of the world... Now compare with this! God, continue to protect your people.

Now I understand that saying 'to hide things from a black man put it in a book' even the ones you would ordinarily think are wiser and enlightened... SMH. Please was Sanusi condemning or ridiculing ndi Igbo in the statements above..? Let's be guided. We're being appraised based on the comments we make on these and various platforms..
As for Reno, this is unbecoming of an acclaimed man of God.
God help us.
