how many bad roads for only Ikotun o wey Tinubu don reconstruct, as evidence he fit do it for rest of nigeria? Better get it into your head that all Nigerian politicians are the same and selfish.

Is Tinubu a senator? Some of you have had your brains buried in Okija shrine all in the bid to come to Lagos and sell gala.

Another incoherent illiterate abobaku on the loose

Firespitter:
How far.. Those two politicians you mentioned are only popular in South West not East so they are highest ranking in South West . The bullion van thief is only popular on nairaland. Down here in the east, nobody sabi any yoruba politician except The VP. You guys think people get una time sha
Anyway, it doesn't stop you yoro.ba from celebrating a murderer and a thief, who cares?

You guys dont need to be bothered about him, the who is who in your villages highly rever and rate him because he's who they hope to achieve, but never will. That's what matters most in politics

honeyB2018:
Losing election, is not a death sentence. People have been losing and winning before. G. E. J, lost and have moved on, Buhari, was a serial contender and loser before now, it's no big deal. But how you lose is important. If you lose gallantly, you will be happy, you fought well, but been robbed of your victory, this is where it pains.
Apc know for sure, they won't win in Edo State, that is why this rubbish is happening.
Election is just about a month's time, you want to cause problems, to get it postponed. There is God.

What problem? Obaseki dug his grave himself. What was the kangaroo suspension of the deputy speaker about despite having denied 14 others the right to their mandates? That's your definition of democracy abi? You guys always want to act like you love the masses when the tide turns against you, when in reality, it's all politics. Make una just thank God it's Buhari that's in power, una for dey cry for that MOU governor now if it was a pdp president.

I have been waiting for the views of this slave master.
More humiliation awaits you come 2023.
Unlike Lagos, Edo must breathe!

Whereas the breathing take Edo? Is it not compound foolishness for edo to even compare itself to Lagos? In terms of what really? Even Surulere only has seen more development and modernity than Edo state will see in the next 30 years. Edo bawo

Hofbrauhaus:
That's how you deceive yourself from the truth. Obaseki is not a thief. Ganduje is. Obaseki has not stolen a dime from Edo people. Ganduje stole. OSHIOMOLE stole. Those are well known criminals you support.
And I can't stop being emotional when young intelligent people support criminals and tomorrow they complain that they are unemployed..when una wan take get sense? Dem swear for una?

Lol. Really Obaseki has not stolen a dime from Edo people? . Such a Jesus!

The money he doled out to "tax collectors" as claimed by Wike is meant for his father i guess?

And regarding your last line, you're seemingly also part of the bigger problem for refusing to acknowledge the fact that Obaseki is also one of those criminals who have failed to make use of his reverred position to change the fortune of the young people in his domain. For even defending such a failure, you dont have the integrity to call out any one. Your hypocrisy stinks to heaven.

Hofbrauhaus:
That is why your likes are the major issue we have in Nigeria. Cos of the 15k they give you every month, you rather sell your soul than speak the truth. How can a true Nigerian youth support a thief? Who do you this thing? How can you hail a criminal? Dem swear for you? Tufiakwa

Oga, stop being emotional. All of them are thieves, but in terms of infrastructure, obaseki is no match for Ganduje. Go to Kano and see for yourself

Trump is smelling the coffee of his imminent defeat more and more, but one chukwudi in aba feels Trump losing is an impossibility

Ezemust:
but they still voted for ngige?

Ngige? The same Ngige that could have ended up as the senate president but was rejected by his people because he belonged to a "Muslim party?"

loopman:
Lmaooooo Ibos want to stylishly change their narratives about APC when we know how they passionately deride the party.

They are saying they don't hate APC but they hate the people in APC

Confusion is their second name.

UdechiHD:
You’re still shifting the goal post despite various evidence. I believe you were gobsmacked seeing the above fact. I told you Ndigbo and Yoruba’s are not mates when it comes to political liberalism.
As a matter of fact, a lot of us are beginning to realize we messed up for not supporting Sylvester Ugoh with 100% votes in 1993 when he needed us. The same happened in 2003 when Buhari/Okadigbo needed us to finish off Obasanjo in the south after Baba has done his in the north.

However, Yoruba attitudes has proven Ndigbo to be the biggest losers. The 2011-2015 election that pitted Jonathan a southerner to northerners exposed Yoruba’s as the worst hypocrite you call others.

U be mumu. No single election since the turn of democracy has seen yorubas voting overwhelmingly for a candidate, like igbos do. Even Buhari depsite the change slogan didnt get 75% votes in 2015. Swest doesn't put all her eggs in basket. We are sophisticated for a reason, and don't play politics of hate. Despite gej performing woefully, and the vibe of the entire nation tinting towards a change of government, you guys still voted overwhelmingly for him because you hated apc with passion. And please stop this baseless comparison with Yorubas, we are several classes above you guys when it comes to politics. You guys should concentrate on running businesses in Alaba market. That's una area of expertise

Ezemust:
in anambra pdp lost.when kalu came up with his party he won two easter state.pls pdp dont always win.candidates does

Pdp wins 90% of the time, and the general vibe towards apc in the east is hatred. In fact, igbos supporting apc are seen as bastards or efulefus.

lexxwiz:
I quote again. “Igbos supported Obj a Yoruba man”. What is stopping you from supporting an Igbo man in APC? Like I told you, greed is all that I see here. It will consume!!!!

“If war can be started by lies, they can be stopped by truth”

Apc? You mean the jihadist party?

UdechiHD:
Tofa won the North West! Abiola was fortunate in Kano and the NE!
Yet the same northerners voted for Buhari in 2003 over your brother Obasanjo. Don’t shift the goal post.

He wasn't fortunate. He won both Kano and Kaduna because hausas were liberal with their choices and played to the general tune of the nation at that time. You guys preferred Tofa and got him more votes than a fellow southerner. So please save us the story of you guys playing a role in Abiola's victory. It's falsehood.

UdechiHD:
I didn’t want to derail this thread, but records must set straight. Yorubas have never voted an Igbo candidate in a General election, but we’ve shamed you guys and even voted your sons over ours.
In 1993!
1. Bashir Tofa’s NRC — 55% SE votes (With Sylvester Ugoh as VP)

2. MKO Abiola’s SDP — 45% SE votes

You guys voted for Tofa notwithstanding. Yet, northerners that most people feel are tribalistic voted for Abiola enmasse against a northern candidate.

UdechiHD:
And here is your answer. https://www.nairaland.com/5505636/igbos-voted-abiola-1993-proof

So i should trust an igbo-made results than a result from a verified source like Cable?

Ezemust:
like i said,we dont hate the party we just hate the candidates.say watever u want

But una dey love every candidate pdp fields. Such irony!

UdechiHD:
When did PDP become Igbo party? Igbos have as much right in the APC just as in the PDP! We were among the founders of the APC and will slug it out in the party too. The same way we can’t ask you to focus on Oduduwa republic is the way you have no right to tell us to face Biafra. Each to their own struggle, so far the respect is mutual.

Stop being clever by half oga. Una comments on apc still full internet. Apc couldn't even get 20% votes in SEast to show how much una hate the party reach. Is okorocha no longer efulefu for supporting apc? Apc is no longer a jihadist party?

UdechiHD:
Yes, we did. Do you want us to show you the voting maps. Your brothers who asked this question never repeated it again, when we showed them the 1992 results.

Tofa won in Imo, Enugu and Abia. Abiola only won in Anambra.

UdechiHD:
Exactly, 2023 is not far. Everyone should brace themselves for the unknown.

Nothing will happen. You guys should channel your energy towards fighting your party "PDP" for the presidential ticket. Apc's ticket is going to the ACN caucus. The sooner una face your Biafra course in full, the better for your tribe.

proeast:
I don't understand what you mean by Yorubas playing their game well. In 1993, Abiola won an election that was considered to be free and fair, but instead of allowing him to rule, the North used the military to frustrate him. He was eventually killed in prison, same as his wife. That was obviously a bad thing and the North realized that was an injustice. In order to pacify the Yorubas, it was decided that in the best interest of Nigeria, and for peace to reign, the presidency should go to the SW. Is there any special thing the Yorubas did?

They were agrieved and rightly so, and were pacified with Obasanjo presidency.

At the moment, the Igbos are agrieved in Nigeria, and we have every reason to be. Anybody who is not evil-minded knows that too. Had it been the Igbos are a minor group, Nigeria would have got away with it, but we are talking about a major ethnic group here!

Anyone who is observant can clearly see that Nigeria is a very sick country, and it can't survive a major shake-up considering how disorganized it is already. The country is gradually breaking up and injustice against the Igbos is fueling it. The only sensible thing to do now is to look for ways to convince us to stay with Nigeria.

Did you guys vote for the abiola you're even talking about?

proeast:
Let me address your own points respectively

1. Igbos are not threatening anyone, at least we aren't saying we are going to kill anyone or to set Nigeria on fire. Rather, it is a promise. Telling Nigerians that we will chart our own course where we will have our dignity is not a threat. We have the right to self determination.

2. Having a secession clause in the Constitution or not doesn't change anything in the long run. We have the numbers and global spread to bring Nigeria to its knees. At the moment, the percentage of Igbos asking for Biafra is not up 30% yet Nigeria is feeling the pressure, then imagine what will happen when up to 80% of us become passionate about it. Igbos make up the highest number of Nigerians abroad and if they form a critical mass against Nigeria, the result will be devastating on our corporate image. Also, we have influential personalities in strategic places globally that could help us dismantle Nigeria. Nigeria is a very weak country and it would be gone once the US and UN are convinced to break it.

You must be really deluded to believe US and UN would want to break a country like Nigeria. 2023 isn't so far away sha.

lexxwiz:
Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa.

The south has an advantage to have 2 presidents before the north.

Yoruba’s, you all have to support the igbos to rule. If you narrow it down to just North and south, we have successfully cheated ourselves down south.

Eliminate greed guys, you must find the inner strength to fight greeD.

but then, if the push comes to shove, igbos don’t like to be cheated, they’ll 100% fight back trust me. Anyhow you look at it, it will end in tears except the south comes together.

Yoruba, this is your turn to support igbos. Igbos gave OBJ 100% support. They are asking you to reciprocate.

This na democracy o but then, we know that our own democracy has been faulty from day1.

Embrace peace..

“War does not determine who is RIGHT, only who is LEFT”

My 2 cents.

Obj was not a yoruba candidate. Yorubas wanted Falae. Obj was more of a northern's candidate. Moroever, Ekwueme contested against Obj, so what's the fuss? Igbos love pdp with passion and hate apc more than the devil. So why should they eat where from the same pot they spit at?

Ezemust:
unfortnatley that party dont belong to one man alone.and having the candidacy of apc dont guraantee victory.apc might still lose 2023 election

When do you guys start caring about apc? Trust me, a lot of apc supporters will prefer to lose the election fielding a yoruba man or SS man. With the kind of hate you guys have for apc, it is insane to even read you guys clamoring for the party's ticket. Shame no dey catch una?

proeast:
Check GEJ's appointments and you will see that it had a national spread. Igbos are only demanding for fairness and equity, but if that's too much to ask for, then we have the right to walk away from the union and determine our fate.

Yorubas were left out of the national spread. GEJ mostly appointed Igbos to key positions. Okonjo, Dieziani, Oduah, Anyim? And beside that, he was voted for non-performance and because Nigerians wanted another party oustide pdp. Only igbos saw good things in him and his party till now. You guys have never seen anything good in apc, it's been hatred since day one. So why are you clamoring for the party's ticket? Ask pdp to give una the ticket and contest against a yoruba man that will secure the apc ticket since apc is an ewedu/jihadist party.

Ezemust:
why would'nt igbos hate APC when they will field a well known jihadist and tribalist just to win an election at all cost?govnor ZULUM is in apc but is loved by all nigerian.if govnor zulum should contest for the presidency under APC and BUHARI contest under PDP,i can asure u that zulum will win comfortably in igboland under apc.we dont hate party,we just hate the evil pple in it.PEACE

Okay, go ahead and hold the party you guys love and rever for presidency. A jihadist party can't and wouldn't give a ticket to an igbo man.

proeast:
Nwodo has said it all, nothing more to add. Igbo have passed the ball and it is now in their court. So, from whatever they return is what we will decide the way forward.

Igbos have shown more love to Nigeria than any other group but what did we get in return? Hate, envy, jealousy and wickedness. They joined forces with the sole purpose of keeping us down. However, it is no longer business as usual, something will definitely give this time around.

Igbos embraced GEJ, not because he is an Igbo man but simply because he ran an all inclusive government which the Igbos have always asked for, and I don't think that too much. We stood with him through thick and thin, even when facts on ground showed he did more for the North than any other zone.

When the results were being announced, and it became obvious he was going to lose, many places in the East became quiet like a graveyard. I could feel the frustration, anger and sadness in many people. I believe it was at this point that many Igbos joined IPOB because they totally lost faith in Nigeria. Now, imagine what will happen in 2023 if/when the Igbos are sidelined again. I don't need any soothsayer to tell me what is going to happen. That will definitely be the proverbial last straw that will break the camel's back.

What Nwodo said is obviously what is going to happen and that is why IPOB is praying that Igbos should be sidelined so that they can achieve a consensus in the demand for Biafra.

Inclusive govt u say? By giving all the major positions to igbos? And even with that, can you point out his achievement in SEast? Rather than threatening Nigeria with secession that would never happen, why not hold the party you guys have stupidly been in love with for decades for 2023 ticket?

Ezemust:
how many yoruba follow form PDP in 99?

How does this relate to my comment? Igbos hate APC with passion. Is that meant debatable?

Franklinn1:
Yorubas are more illiterate than the Northerners, they're always played by the north like football.. Yoruba will regret the atrocities they committed against the igbos.. It shall never be well with Awolowo and family

Yorubas hate igbos so much, yet most of your billionaires made their riches in Swest. You guys are just too foolish beyond comprehsion.

Anago55:
. Preacher preach on!

we didn't hear any of these sermons when Obasanjo was picked from the trashbin to compensate you bittersouls

hypocrite

igbophobe is real

Did Ekwueme contest against Obj or not for the pdp ticket? Obj wasnt even a SWest candidate.

Ezemust:
The 2023 election will be a historic one.it will make or mar Nigeria.the eastern elite are just waiting patiently for the d day to take dia position.i believe igbo presidency will calm alot of things down and the biafra agitation will naturaly die away.but if nigeria try to play any shady game in 2023 then boko haram will be a child play

No one is against igbo presidency. But let them get it from pdp. It is insane to expect an igbo presidency from a party 95% of igbos hate with passion.
