Why should reparation be done to Ibos? what happened to them that is being repaired?

For Yorubas to have that type of mouth, they have been the nearest challenger multiple times. In 1979 and 1983, Awolowo came 2nd to Shagari
In 1992 Falae challenged Yar Audua
In 1993 MKO challeneged Tofa


But you are waiting somewhere for some reparation. Siddon there dey wait. You think all the SW and SS wey dey make moves are idiots, even the Saraki thats making moves you think they are playing?

They know even if they cannot make it in 2019, they will be top contenders in the future

Which Ibo candidate has seriously contested for presidency in the last 50yrs and finished say runner up.

Now even though most Northerners know Buhari is almost unbeatable about 8 of them still came out, currently we have Duke from SS, even the useless Fayose is making moves, where are the SE governors and ex governors?

What stops someone like Chime, Nnamani, Peter Obi and those ex governors from launching serious presidential campaign and insist they must be the candidate in 2019, by so doing, even if they convince you and beg you to step down you know by next dispensation your name would be the first to be mentioned rather Ekweremaddu is following Saraki about hoping to be VP, why cant Ekweremadu say I want to be president, Saraki be my Vice

Your people are business men, if you want to sell for N500, you normally start negotiation from N2,000 before a lot of haggling and finally setle for round 500. A smart trader in Aba or Onitsha doesn't start negotiation from 550 when he wants to sell for N500

Yoruba and Tinubu brought up the APC, gave Hausa the first run at it for 8yrs, after those 8yrs, a Yoruba man has positioned himself for the next 8yrs at least in APC, what have you done to position yourselves for power that you want

How did Presidency get to being handed over to Obasanjo?

Lets trace is back

In the Abacha regime, there were 5 political parties created UNCP, CNC, GDM, DPN and NCPN, WHen the other parties gave their ticket to Abacha, Tunji Braithwaite and MD Yusufu challenged Abacha for the GDM ticket and the case was unresolved until Abacha died

In 1993 in the 3rd Republic, A Yoruba man MKO came out and contested against an Hausa man, Where was the Ibo man? Under The Hausa Tofa

Before that in 1992, when Shinkafi, Ciroma were contesting for NRC ticket, Tar Adua and Olu Falae were slugging it out for SDP ticket, Olu Falae even won the Kaduna primary though Yar Audua responded by defeating him in the Lagos primary. Where were the Ibos?

It was as a result of this doggedness that saw the nation make concession for OBJ in 1999

Now lets fast forward after the OBJ 2 terms in 2007 All the SS governors came out to contest for presidency, from Ibori, Odili, Duke, Attah even Igbinedion while their SE counterpart were waiting for VP ticket

Odingo1:
If reparation was done to Yorubas in 1999, in 2023 reparation should also be done to Igbos, APC and PDP should produce Igbo candidate like in 1999 to ensure Igbo presidency.If not there is no way yoruba man will win election again in Nigeria, if APC present a Yoruba in 2023 then PDP will present a northerner and the northerners in APC will decamp to PDP to make sure that power remain in the north and the cycle continues.

Odingo1:
Igbos have sense of Nigerian belonging in 1999, they did not yield to others but just have national interest at heart and felt sorry for what happen to Abiola and Yorubas., Igbos felt sympathetic for Yorubas following Abiola saga, Igbos was convinced to step down for yorubas that is why the two major parties in 1999 produce yorubas as contestant, but Yorubas are now making as if they were not giving presidency on a plater of Gold in 1999, Obasanjo when he was pulled from prison look like a half dead man and don't even know what is going on.

This was picture of Obasanjo in 1999, that is why he was grateful to Igbos and use more Igbos in his cabinet.

modath:
It will take a bit of time, patience & sacrifice. Let's not lie to ourselves, the Ibo political elites(They are the real drivers of the hate campaign behind the scene but form innocence when it's time to show up & show out) can't and will NEVER do that.

Odingo1:
You are talking rubbish, Igbos has been contesting for presidency since 1999 on different political platform.

Know you that presidency was handed to Obasanjo on a plater of gold, he didn't work for it for one day but was pulled from prison because he handed over to Shagari against the SW wish.

Odingo1:
This your fact is a lie.

PDP is a majority party in Nigeria after 1999 election, PDP in 2007 is very strong in SE/SS. Buhari party and Atiku party is not popular party in the east. Do know that Buhari won the election because the north felt that it is their turn to rule Nigeria by fire by force, all machinery was geared toward that using all manner of violence including Boko haram.
Ojukwu on APGA also lost SE votes because PDP have more influence.

Had it been that Ekwueme was not persuaded to step down for Obasanjo in order to calm SW for Abiola saga, Ekwueme would have won the election.

KingLennon:
They should not settle for less. The igbo's can also pick the nomination form and contest for president.

The immediate past national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Barrister Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, has explained why his party, APGA, resolved to field a northern presidential candidate in the upcoming 2019 general election.

Warri boy who smashed waec and jamb denied admission.

David okorogheye, the delta state boy who floored his jamb and waec with 336 and 9A1's respectively has been denied admission into the university of lagos to study medicine, on the ground of his young age.
.
The 15-year-old who stunned the general public by his outstanding performance, was not allowed to take part in the post UTME exams, he has been asked to try again next year when he comes of age.
.

Efforts to contact relevant authorities as to whether he could be considered for special admission has proved abortive as authorities say the law must be followed.

The lad however has come to terms with the surrounding suituations and says he will wait for the next year's admission.

According to sun news, David who hopes to become a neurosurgeon, had his passion activiated when he watched doctors battle to save the life of his late father when he was 8 years old, and since then vowed to study medicine so he can save lives.
.
With his father late, david is currently been sponsored by his mother and family members who are proud of him.

Bullying is a game of proud arrogant people who are unwilling to do things the way they ought to in order to get the desired result... More insects are caught with honey than vinegar ..

South East doesnt have the number to make anyone feel threatened if they don't kowtow to them , being in every nook and cranny of Nigeria means nothing, vote cast by an Ibo man in Iwo will never be counted with votes in Imo...

Till south easteners realise these salient facts, they will keep hustling backward politically.

What has the support for the PDP since 1998 earned the East?nothing.

Is it pride?dumbness?naivety? Long held hate and distrust of the West and North?illiteracy?stubborness?everything must be their ways?or the lack of any sense of direction,that is making those in the East to just refuse to retrace their steps and play the politics of commonsense?

PDP’s plot to zone VP to S-West or S-South, satanic, barbaric, inhuman —Ohanaeze youths

Meantime, the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide yesterday described the alleged plot by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to zone the vice president slot to the South West or South-South geopolitical zone as satanic, barbaric and inhuman, considering the contributions of the zone towards the upliftment of the party since its creation in 1998.

The group further cautioned that nobody should take the patience of Ndigbo as foolishness and that they should not push Ndigbo to take a political decision that will bury PDP in 2019.

In a statement issued in Abakaliki, the deputy president general of the group, Comrade Obinna Achuonye and deputy national Public Relations Officer of the group, Mazi Alex Osaka stressed that the plot against the zone will never see the light of the day.

The statement read in part: “The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had been drawn to a malicious report and nefarious plot that PDP had concluded plans to zone the vice presidency to South-West or South-South over the South East quest to occupy the position in 2019.

“This clandestine plot is barbaric, satanic and will never see the light of the day. OYC insists that the national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Uche Secondus should clarify this allegation immediately before Ndigbo especially the youths take their destiny in our own hands.

“We wish to remind the originators of this malicious plot against Ndigbo, that Ndigbo had paid their price in PDP since 1999. Its morally wrong to return the vice presidency to either South West or South-South after the two political zones had occupied the highest office of the president in 1999 in the persons of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and in 2010 in Dr Goodluck Jonathan, leaving Southeast out in the cold.

“Those claiming that Southeast had the least voters registered should remember that Igbo are everywhere in Nigeria and from our records, we are in 19 northern states, where we have 12.5 million votes and five million votes in the South West and how can you compare South East with only five states with South West and South-South that has six states each?”

BY CHARLES KUMOLU

The senatorial ambition of the wife of the late Biafra warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu- Ojukwu, yesterday, faced a major setback as some members of the Ojukwu family vowed not to support her even if she emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.

In an interactive session with newsmen, Dr. Ike Ojukwu, who is one of the directors of Ojukwu Transport Company Limited, OTL, said it was wrong to allow a woman from Ngwo in Enugu State to represent Anambra South Senatorial District.

He said: “Is she from Nnewi? She is from Ngwo in Enugu State. I would prefer someone who is a son of the soil, and because I come from Nnewi, I would like an Nnewi indigene to represent us.”

On his part, Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu Jnr said: “She is apparently coming out on the platform of APGA and that is APGA’s business. They can decide on whoever they want to bring out. That should not be my business but I find it curious that they want somebody from Enugu State to represent us in Anambra South.

“This is a young woman, who was supposedly married to my late father. A young woman who could remarry tomorrow maybe from Abia State or later from Sokoto State. And they want her to represent us. I wonder if there are no other people in Anambra South, who can represent us.

“Has anybody asked Odimegwu household whether we believe in her to represent us? This is a woman we don’t interact with. She doesn’t talk to us. She can’t have access to our property She can’t cross our gate in the village. She doesn’t associate with the members of the family.

“There are certain questions that should have been asked before moving in that particular direction. Like I said, APGA is free to field whoever they want to field. I know that APC is trying to field a very credible candidate and when we get to the field of justice we will see what happens.”

Also speaking, a legal practitioner Chief Debe Odimegwu Ojukwu, said: “As a lawyer, I would say no. why I said no is that there are so many marriages, even when you look at Nollywood, there are many marriages everyday but that does not make it legal.

“Why I am arguing this is because there was a woman my father married in a court, and that marriage was never nullified, and my training as a lawyer tells me that when there is a subsisting marriage, subsequent marriage or attempt at marriage becomes null and void.”

By Grace of Oduduwa,Yoruba shall remain the number1 race in Africa.

If you cant join us stay far away but dont tarnish us because when we strike we wont back up until the enemy is completely humiliated and his defenses totally demolished.

Edo humiliation will not be halted by anything you say, it continues until we say STOP! This is our battle not yours and we will not relent till Ekalahderan becomes a sour experience in your history and your shame is uprooted into the open for all to see.

All your witcheries will not save you.

Moorish:
This pointless tussle

A question for the "warriors" tho

VPN or no VPN

If I told you I could expose your exact locations; Longitude and Latitude

Would you back up your positions and insults?

Or cower and hide like the online warriors you are

Moorish:
Maybe I am just different

But..

It always left a sour taste in my mouth whenever I decimated another human being physically or psychologically

Well.. except females (A different sort of decimation )

Anyway..

I do not feel good knowing I belittled another man

But I understand a man is a being of immense pride and honor

Willing to fight to the death in Defence of Honor

But sometimes you should control your very ego

The act of making peace, is a very honorable trait

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe).

Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.

Olfert Dapper was born in early 1636 in the Jordaan in Amsterdam. On 6 January 1636, he was baptized in the Lutheran church in Amsterdam.

In 1663 wrote a book on the history of Amsterdam. His Description of Africa (1668) is a key text for African studies. His book "is one of the most authoritative 17th century accounts on Africa published in German. Translations appeared in English, French, and German. Dapper never traveled to Africa but used reports by Jesuit missionaries and other (Dutch) explorers. Within a few years he published about China, India, Persia, Georgia, and Arabia. His books became well known in his own time. The fine plates include views of Algiers, Benin, Cairo, Cape Town, La Valetta, Marrakech, St. Helena, Tangier, Tripoli, Tunis, as well as, animals and plants.

Dapper was buried on 29 December 1689 in Amsterdam.[1]

"The king's court is as large as the city of Haarlem, and ... divided into many magnificent palaces, houses and rooms of the courtiers, and ... galleries, about as large as the Exchange at Amsterdam," the Dutch geographer Olfert Dapper wrote in 1668
