Tell me what we are relying on them for?

I mean work with them. They are better.

ken6488:
who cares about sanwo olu I don't get it why you guys think everything revolve around Lagos or youruba
.my

Governor in delta state is clearing all LGA, like what makes you think I care about Lagos

To an average Yoruba man, Lagos is America.

Zionmdde:
There is no south south, you are either igbo or yoruba or hausa. There is no middle ground. Infant if you are fair and clean you are igbo

The earlier you realize that any fight against igbos will not by pass SS the better
I have resided in several yoruba and Hausa land, every ekpeyong, Harry, Akpan etc is omo igbo. I am not saying SS is igbo land, but the earlier you embrace the reality you cannot change the better

You just said the truth. U are very correct. The SS must rely on the SE. The other regions are devils.

ken6488:
South west and south east foolishness has done us no good

From next election south south will be working more with the north


The youruba and the igbos can go about killing there self

There tribal war will not bring us down

To big tribes just be disturbing the full country

The tribal war just they vex me. But believe me, the north is not Interested in development. They just want to rule. The SS is at the middle of very unprogressive bunch. I think working with SE is better.

Eriokanmi:
There's nothing like tribalism in yorubaland. We're accommodating and welcoming and that's why Yorubaland is developing. It was tinubu who came and changed the status quo by breeding thuggery. Was it Pa Awolowo who wasn't accommodating or who? How many thugs did Pa Awo breed? When tinubu talks, just analyse his words. You'd realise how stinking it is. No good man or leader talks the way he does, just like a drunk man. Is it normal for people to snatch ballot boxes and attack people openly just because they want to end bad governance?

It's not today opposition has been winning in Lagos and Yorubaland? Heaven didn't fall when it happened. Even if another candidate rises tomorrow to contest, urchins will still complain. Jimmy Agbaje was even called an igbo agenda. PDP, an opposition had won Lagos before and it won't be the last for an opposition. All tribes represented here jointly made it happen. Amazingly, most of those preaching tribal messages are among the poorest of the poor. They're badly hit by the policies of bad governance. This is just the beginning. Things can always get better with better people occupying our political space. No more free votes.

By the time Tinubu's empire ends, his supporters will be put where they belong. The end to his empire has just started as you can see. Nothing lasts forever.

Stop singing your praises, let others do it for you. As a Delta man in Edo, I think Yoruba are hostile and tribalistic.

Please come to Edo. We need new and progressive investors in Edo. Lagos people nor well.

naijapips04:
Then obi should sit his arse down.

Obi was fighting for a better Nigeria, not only for Igbo presidency. If U are looking for Igbo presidency them go for it. As far as I am concerned presidency favours no region.

naijapips04:
They gave SE slot in 2015 we gave it to Jonathan. The next Southern slot is coming to SE but now we hvE jeopardized it with obi. We have to live with APC for a long time.

Presidency can't help Igbos. Fight for a restructured Nigeria. That's the only part way to nation building. This national cake shared amongst ethnic bigots will get U know where. Change your mindset.

Godspikin:
That's why if you ask me, the only true path to significant development and rapid growth is to practice true federalism. Without that even if you bring Jesus to be the president there can't be humongous or huge difference.


The type of federalism that gives room for positive competition, especially with the energy the South East has which should be invested in industrialization rather than this agitation for Biafra and the bitterness that the failure of that pursuit brings.

Also that industrialization must be guided by institution that will ensure standard is maintained, I say this because in my little sojourn in business I have noticed something about the Igbo man's business principles, standard no dey matter, he is driven solely by profits.

You are very right. Nigeria needs to be restructured.

naijapips04:
Atiku picked obi the last time with these your money bags still in the party. Stop saying what you don't know. Playing fractional sectional politics will not help us. Go back to PDP and build. You have a reliable structure under PDP .

Oga, U think U are the wisest man on earth. PDP was already betraying the SE, abi U nor see am? Are U blind.

naijapips04:
I repeat. You are a joker.

Let me give my opinion here. The SE should focus more on building their region to a better place. Igbos are business minded. Trying to wrap them around this Nigeria's national cake of ethnic bigots will not lead to any form of development. It's just nonsense rotation in a mouse wheel.

Godspikin:
So apt!
You are very on point!

All that you need to do is to make other igbos like you see reason. You understand the issues most of them don't.

They are just overly emotional. Nobody gives power to a people out of pity. Nobody gave the Yorubas.


The structure of the country is already skewed against both the Yorubas and the igbos.

To win a presidential seat one needs to align with others and since politics is a game of numbers, the north is the beautiful bride, particularly the north west. The Yorubas understand this but your brothers see it as weakness, they tag the Yorubas all sort of names, but those who know are aware that the Igbos will never be president in Nigeria with that attitude.

Rather than do a root cause analysis of why igbos keep losing anytime they put forward a candidate from the South East they transfer the bitterness of their loss to the Yorubas.

The problem with this is that it doesn't bring development. The North only one day conquer the entire South. This is not nation building it's all going to fail in the long run.

naijapips04:
Keep Dreaming.

LP is going to Edo. I am based in Edo. LP is the new kid as long as election in Edo is concerned.

naijapips04:
Keep dreaming.

Edo is going to LP. If LP plays with the minds of Edo, they will win. I am in Edo and that's what is going to happen.

naijapips04:
Na LP wan win presidential election? Lol.

PDP would have wob this election if not for obingo.

The North will not vote for an Igbo candidate. They see the Igbos as a big challenge to their interest. The Ibgos can work with part of NC & SS. The SE governors should work on building their region, fight for more powers to the governors. Forget about presidency. The presidency help no one.

Ikpaitid:
As someone from the South South, I take only one thing from your stupid post- " The South South are taking our rightful place"
This is the warning I have been giving to all South South people that the Igbos only want to dominate the South South and their game plan is to keep us under that domination as long as possible. The next time I see someone from the South South supporting an Igbo candidate, I will personally deal ruthlessly with such a fool.

You are brainless. Sorry to say.

naijapips04:
Not with umu iberibes like yourself that can't see past their nose. Our leaders including obi himself need to realign and go back to building alliance across board. Call obi to order. He should go back to PDP, let's see what we can salvage from the damage.

Oga U are wrong, PDP can never win presidential. PDP must born their umbrella and align with LP.

Captain8:
Itshekiri kii u there..
Itshekiri person can never open mouth to called Ijaw minority..... guy u be confirmed furu bo from the forsaken barren yeast..

Itsekiri mixed with Edo blood. See, I don't have problem with Ijaws, I have problem with U. U don't have sense.

Captain8:
you are not even Itshekiri,,,fake impostor....well that's the normal life of ibos,, faking around..419 tribe.

Proudly Itsekiri from Warri North. What next?

MICHEALADEX:
Super what?


It's simply a stagnant water. If it's not the Atlantic ocean it's not a beach

Which one ur country do?

Captain8:
are you blind?

don't you see where I said biafra?
Or you don't know biafra?

if you don't know what is biafra, go and check their map and see how they dragging people lands

Hope U know that not all Igbos believe in Biafra. Just understand that first. I personally don't believe in Biafra as a country. Also, the map cuts across SS so why are only the Ijaws making unnecessary noise? Even the Binis, Calabars are not even worried about the Biafra noise nah Ijaw make be like minority carry the matter they disturb us. I beg shift.

Captain8:
ibos have nothing to do with Ijaws as you claiming and they are dragging our lands with us saying it is biafra..

If they truly has nothing to do with us why not stop attaching Ijaw to their biafra?

what are you even saying?

Tell me please, which land are they dragging? What's the name of the land in dispute?

Birdbyrde440:
Despite the betrayal from the people of the so called "Niger-Delta" against the Igbos because of the oil in their backyard. The so called Niger delta have disassociated themselves from their cousins the igbo.

Despite the Envy and jealousy from the Tinubu inspired Yoruba haters.

We Northerners are fully aware that the future of Nigeria lies in the so called "dot nation".

That landlocked parcel of land holds the largest gas reserves that will serve the entire West Africa and no body will touch that gas as long as their betrayal, envy, hate and sentiments against the igbos.

We all know that the world is shifting to greener sources of energy such as gas, solar, nuclear and electric. Oil exploration and consumption must stop because of its harmful effects on the environment.

So now that oil exploration is coming to an end, what will be the fate of all your betrayals, envy and jealousy against the igbo?

We know tinubu wants the north to join him in instigating igbo hate but we STAND WITH THE IGBOS. They have the right to leave anywhere and buy as much land in any part of Nigeria as they please.

We shall not partake in the business of Igbo hating.

SS is always with the Igbos. They are our biggest allies. That is not negotiable.

Captain8:
what concern me if you love ibos,,,as for we Ijaws,,we have nothing to do with ibos..... should they encroached an inch to any of our Ijaw territory from rivers state to Ondo state with biafra rubbish,,we will wiped them out of existence....what we did to them during the biafra war will be child's play..

They should come, we are waiting for them.

Ijaws please look towards the development of your region, stop trying to hold ground with other regions. It's not worth it bro. Just as U have nothing to do with Igbos, so also Igbos have nothing to do U guys. Just focus and stop fighting.

gideon22h:
Where in Niger Delta are you from? & Which land is Igbos dragging with you?Where in Niger Delta are you from? & Which land is Igbos dragging with you?...

Who the hell is mentioning Igbos here. Anybody mentioning Igbos here is not well.

I am Itsekiri and Igbos are part of SS. You can't separate Igbos from SS please.

Captain8:
what are you typing?

you typing nonsense.

did Tompolo hold you something?

Niger delta is not dull,,,, you ibos are one of our problems

Igbo are part of Delta and SS. If U have a problem with the Igbos around us that's your business. But U see Igbo will always be part of us in the SS. I am Itsekiri and I love Igbos.

designking:
I am from Sapele and this article is very apt. Even the popular Igbo Quarters was taken away from the Igbos and back to the Okpe community.

The Igbos are always are loggerhead with their host community until it climax to a major bloodshed.

I.just hope Lagos doesn't get to that stage. One reason I hardly acquire property in Lagos is because I know for certain, that a major supremacy battle will occur soon and we Niger Deltans might suffer casualties because we are always mistaken for Igbos

I am from Delta, U don't know History. That story is trash.

Namigotalktru:
Yes that is why you are here wailing for it. As e dey pain you e dey sweet us

What's paining me right now is that we are years behind SA. What a shame.
