I'm a proud ibo catholic from Anambra but I keep wondering why we the igbo catholics continue to play second fiddle to the Italians. When will an iboman be allowed to become a Pope are the Vatican?

It's not as if italians brought Christianity or Judaism to iboland (check the bible and you will see and confirm that we ibos are descendants of Eri the son of Gad who was one of the sons of Jacob from his concubine as mentioned in the bible). We ibos were practicing Judaism and Abrahamism before Italians even heard the gospel.

But what I don't understand is why I, as an Iboman can't venerate and decide to worship my own ancestors the same way the Italians do to their ancestors whom they call 'saints'? I also don't understand why Imolites rejected to Bishop Okpaleke to preside over and lead them in prayers when he was transferred to Ahiara diocese in Mbiase. Are we truly a conquered people? Why are we always inferior to the white catholics? Even within Nigeria, ibo christians behave inferior to Yoruba christians. Our mumu no too much so?

Could this inferiority complex be the reason why the Obi of Onitsha, Ikwerres, and some Anioma ibos feel ashamed to identify as ibos?

Sometimes I feel ashamed of identifying as an iboman because it's so shameful how we constitute the largest population of Nigerians locked up in foreign prisons.

Just look at how Simon Ekpa and his Ipob touts flogs our parents and kids over Sit-At-Home noncompliance?

I would like NL members to proffer a lasting solution to this fiasco because it's become such an embarrassment to us ibos as a people.

Yoruba Muslim, Igbos can be a pope. In fact, an Igbo man, cardinal Arinze almost became a pope. Igbos are just a fraction of global Catholic that number in billions yet we were so close to becoming a pope despite having less than 3% of global Catholic population!

Now compare that Nigeria were Yorubas are forever banned from ever becoming a sultan! Yorubas have up to 30% of Nigeria's Muslim population yet you can never become a sultan! Aren't you supposed to be ashamed of that?!

That's why I love Igbos, they're proud and have self dignity. If it's Igbos that have such huge Muslim population in Nigeria, you can't ban them from becoming a sultan, the way Yorubas were banned.

Levels bro! Levels!!!

IVM cars are sub standard

It is very easy to detect people from sadwaste. They're always bitter, hateful and tribalistic. Little wonder their region have remained stunted with skull mining as the biggest local industry.

Alex Otti is a great man. He has demystified governance in Nigeria within a few months. He has shown that state governments can do a lot and still remain responsive.

He has started bringing back Abia State to great heights. With Geometric providing 24/7 electricity supply while Otti ensures provision of other essential infrastructure and amenities, I see Aba becoming the second most industrialized city in Nigeria after Lagos.

Why didn't they protest when Buhari shut borders in South West, crippling the economies of Benin Republic and likes so the people in Niger republic can be entering Nigeria freely and be packing our money back to their country.. the useless puppet transportation Minister was justifying Chinese loans to build world class railway to a poor third world country.

Now that ECOWAS is trying to reverse an illegitimate take over of power and restore constitutional order in Niger republic, they have all come out to rear their ugly heads in support of the junta in Niger republic.
Well, Ecowas have made their decision.and any of them.not okay with it should cross the border into Niger republic to mount road blocks., Yeye!

In other words, Tinubu is exacting revenge against innocent Northerners because of what Buhari did?

A suicidal dog truly doesn't percieve the smell of feaces. That's an Igbo proverb. Meanwhile, I hope Yorubas are ready to fight this revenge war against Northerners alone because we in the SE and SS will only be watching as spectators.

thebosstrevor1:
I dont like arguing with people who have never used a pos before.

Transfer by pos hardly fails, that because all money are stored in a wallet, when a transaction is done, the money is deducted from the wallet, now it is left for the bank to process the transaction and send the money to the right account

In regards to vote buying, you don't have to bring pos to any polling booth, the bank accounts of voters will be compiled, you dont need their names. This most interesting thing is that it can be done anywhere

Voters can be paid before or after election that depends on the strategy of the politician.

You don't even know how stupid you sound, so voters will be told to vote for Tinubu and drop their account numbers to be credited later? Or you will collect their account numbers early and transfer money to them and ask them to later vote for Tinubu?

Lol, Buhari and Emefiele really damaged Tinubu 😂😂

Okonandmary:
Wow! This is very possible, i trust our politician to buy votes by any means possible.

You and the person above you should be ashamed of yourselves. So, you guys are praying for politicians to succeed in buying votes?

What a wasted generation!!!

thebosstrevor1:
You guy keep typing nonsense..do you know how these things work.

Do you think the POS operators are using any of their money.

The POS are fully loaded by the politicians, the only job the pos operators need to do is to transfer the money to the list of accounts given to them

You're talking garbage! So a voter will write his name and wait to receive alert after voting? What's the guarantee that such alert will ever come? You will trust politicians or agents?

To even worsen matters, alerts now take 24 hours sometimes before it drops. Again, you will bring pos to poling units where opposition members are and they won't call EFCC or even Lynch the vote buyers?

Lol, dey play. I pity those that will be scape goats tomorrow 😂😂

OsunOriginal:
Tinubu is like a moving train in this election. Nobody dares stand on its way.

Buhari and his evil cabal tried it during the primaries, they were crushed.

Then the delusional and arrogant elites and their children started the Muslim-Muslim noise. From the look of things, this has also been defeated as nobody talks about it again. The voices of opposition to the so-called Muslim-Muslim ticket have been suppressed by the more strident voices of reason. In other words, they have also been crushed by the fast-moving train of Tinubu.

Now, the final battle is tomorrow with Buhari and his evil cabal on one side and Tinubu on the other side. I am confident that Buhari will be crushed with Atiku tomorrow. Nigerians across divides are more than determined to make that happen.

Everything already shows that Tinubu will come third at best. It's only a matter of hours.

You will cry blood tomorrow 😂

thebosstrevor1:
Pos operators will be working with politicians to buy votes tomorrow.

How will it work?

Politicians will collect the account numbers of all those who votes for them. Once the accounts have been compiled, here comes the pos operator who will take the list and send each of the voters their money.

Note: money have been saved on various POS wallets for vote buying tomorrow.

So, voters will be foolish enough to believe the promise politicians make? If they will cheat rented crowd and fail to pay them after rally, is it voters they won't cheat?

Meanwhile, only a foolish POS operator will risk their pos and money because angry mobs will seize and destroy them.

anigbajumo:
After thorough Research, Here is my 2023 Presidential election prediction.
APC = Ekiti, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Lagos,Ondo,Kogi,kwara,Niger,Yobe,Borno,Sokoto,Zamfara,Katsina And Kaduna. Narrow win for APC in Sokoto and katsina).

PDP = Akwa Ibom, Delta, Cross-River,Bayelsa,Rivers, Kebbi, Gombe, Bauchi,Taraba,Adamawa And Benue. (Narrow win for PDP in Bauchi and Gombe).

Labour Party = Enugu, Abia,IMO,Anambra and Emboyi. I don’t see LP winning any state outside SE.

Undecided = Kano,Jigawa,FCT, Nassarawa And Edo state.

Kano and Jigawa is between NNPP and APC, Any of these two parties can win PDP is not in the contest.

FCT and Nassarawa is between APC and LP, PDP is not in the contest here as well.

Edo state is between LP and PDP, APC will get their 25% but not in the contest.

Going by History, No democratic elected President has ever emerged from 1979 till date without winning major votes from NC And At least Three states from southern Nigeria. APC might be declared winner of 2023 presidential election ahead of PDP pending the outcome of the state I’m yet to give my final verdict, It’s Obvious both PDP and APC will av 25% in almost 25 states as required by law. Both LP and NNPP are not fully in the contest. APC should win by less than 3million votes.

NB: This is purely prediction basically on Research and History. It has nothing to do with sentiments or being prejudiced while making the analysis.

God Bless Federal Republic Of Nigeria.

Very dumb and delusional prediction. You will look back at this rubbish tomorrow and feel ashamed of yourself.

ImDStar:
He's trying to deliver you and your likes from the impending failure and suffering that would followed after Buhari should you vote either APC or PDP.

God knows I have done my part. Other Africans are even praying for Obi to win so that Africa will have some hope yet some Nigerians are too ethnocentric to consider the bigger picture.

How can people look at Tinibu or Atiku and still want them to rule Nigeria? When someone like Obi is available? That's insane!

Tomorrow, me and everyone in my house above 18 will vote for Obi. Then I will leave the rest for God and humanity.

Almaigaa:
The right thing is to vote Atiku that, God has ordained to be President. While the wrong thing is to vote Peter Obi who came to promote IGBO agenda

Atiku is jinzed, he can't possibly be Nigeria's president. His best chance was in 2019 yet he failed. He is too crooked to be our president. Someone that connived with Jefferson, an American congressman to ripoff Nigeria can't be allowed to emerge president else he will sell Nigeria to China.

Winning NW and NE won't be enough for him to emerge president. He will still come second at best.

maasoap:
Na blackmail remain for you guys now

Ogbeni, it's not blackmail. You know within you that Peter Obi is the best man Nigeria needs now.

Atiku or Tinubu won't be any different from the experience we have had in the last 8 years.
However, Obi offers something different and unique. If he doesn't perform to our expectations, we vote him out after 4 years.

DeOTR:
Corruption and dishonesty in Nigeria governance is overrated.
We don't want an incompetent Angel at the helm of affairs at the moment.

My brother, corruption can never be overrated, in fact, it's the reason why Nigeria is still underdeveloped. Resources that should be used in developing the country is stolen by few greedy men like Tinubu and Atiku.

Vote for Obi so that corruption will be reduced to the barest minimum.

asanausana91:
Don't waste your votes on peter Obi. Giving your votes to Obi is voting for tinubu.
Don't waste your votes. Please vote PDP so that we can send this useless APC out.
Peter Obi and kwankwaso are just spoilers, they are just reducing Atiku votes.

People like you take Southerners for fools. Atiku connived with others to remove Jonathan in 2015 while claiming it was turn of North. He contested again in 2019 still claiming it was turn of North.

Now, in 2023, the same Atiku still wants to rule after Buhari's 8 years?

SMH.

Almaigaa:
Me and my People won't vote Peter Obi, make una do una worst.

Nobody will beg you to do the right thing. If you like vote for Tinibu or Lucifer, it will still haunt you one way or another.

Mylove55:
even with op prediction, he will still win,
Because apart from sw,
Apc will still get at least 40% in north east and North Central

Atiku will get more votes in NE than Tinubu. Obi will get the most votes in NC by 40% while Atiku and Tinubu will share 30% each.

SW votes is too small and diluted to make much difference for Tinibu.

madridguy:
Seen and noted. Still a fair result for our party.

If this is what you guys are praying for then Tinubu has lost woefully. If Atiku wins NW, he is definitely going to win NE too. He will equally get votes from SW. He will get more votes in SS
and SE than Tinubu.

Are you guys too blind to see that Atiku is the only challenger Obi has now!!!

Peter Obi is no doubt going to succeed Buhari.

Lol, so you can't see that Tinubu has failed even with that?

If that's all he can get from NW, without winning SW convincingly and near zero presence in SE and SS, how the hell is he going to win?

samunaka:
You are a fool, what ever hidden agenda you and your Obi have against Nigeria will never materialize, bunch of nuisance,

Your miserable parents are fools.
Sane Nigerians will vote for Obi while cursed ones like you are already condemned.

Okoroawusa:
And because of these things you listed above Anambra is now the best, richest, most developed, most industrialized, most preferred state for immigrants to Nigeria, least indebted, most educated state in Nigeria?

It's like you don't know what the word "record " means. Please I will advise you consult your dictionary. Thank you.

It is you that don't know the meaning of record. Record simply means a feat that no other person has broken.

Which politicians have achieved what Obi achieved? Which other Nigerian can move to an unknown party like LP and make it a top contender within a few months like Obi did?

Anambra was almost a failed state when Obi emerged governor, today it's among the best in Nigeria!

Continue deceiving yourself because of money.

BATified2023:
u igbos will b disgraced tomorrow

Let’s leave it here

I will quote u tomorrow

It's Tinubu and fake yoruba muslims that will be disgraced tomorrow.

Where will Tinubu get his votes from? BATstards!

HardMirror:
pls shut up. I want the Progress of nigeria and i am behind atiku. Not that fraud called obi. Obi left anambra in a backward state. Same obi that left doctors on stike for 13 months.

Olodo, you can't want the progress of Nigeria and still want to vote for a greedy criminal like Atifku.

"The money Atiku stole from Nigeria will feed 200 million people for 300 years"~~ Obasanjo

BATified2023:
I will personally quote u after u igbos have been disgraced

Continue deceiving yourself, Tifnubu has a higher chance of dying than becoming Nigeria's president. Know that and know peace!

Okoroawusa:
Can you tell us where and where Peter Obi left a record? Please know what a record is before you respond

First record: he left 75 billion naira and millions of dollars for his successor!

Second record: he didn't left his state in debts!

Third record: he refused to give bribes to politicians and assembly members and was impeached because of his principled stand!

Fourth record: he used the courts to recover his mandate since he was clean!

Fifth record: he rejected any form of allowance, grants, political patronage etc.

Sixth record: he rejected lands given to him in Abuja and Awka!

Seventh record:he built Anambra state Secretariat, university, colleges of health, hospitals, secondary schools etc!

I can go on to list many other records but I will stop here. Can you now give any reason why we should vote for an old, sick and greedy criminal like Tifnubu?

Owoino:
Did you really believe in your flat headed brain that Nigerians will elect a Biafran to rule Nigeria?
Do you think Nigerians are stupid or have a short memory?
Nigerians will never forget what Biafrans did.

You're a senseless urchin without brain. Northerners have rejected Tifnubu. Easterners have rejected him. Niger Deltans have also rejected him.

Let me see how yoruba muslims and dirty agberos like you will make him president.

BATified2023:
I promise to quote u after u igbos lose d election

Which position are Igbos contesting for, you primitive bigot?

Every sensible and reasonable Nigerian that wants this country to progress are behind Obi.

Bigots like you promoting a braindead old criminal won't succeed.

Mindlog:
Are you oblivious of the FACT that of all the 6 Geo-political zones of Nigeria, the Southwest has the highest numbers of non-indigines as residents in comparison to other regions?

The Southwest based voters are more "diluted" than any other region, less homogeneous.😆😆😆😆😆

SW (excl. Lagos) has the lowest PVC in Nigeria today, lower than SE!

SW is half Christians and half muslims, and their votes are divided likewise.

There are many other Nigerians in the region too.

At the end of the day, Tinubu's votes would be diluted. He can't win SW with more than 50%. Obi has locked down SE and SS while North is now dominated by Atiku and Kwankwaso.

Anyone still believing that Tinubu will win is just deceiving themselves.

Afamed:
You should be using Obi antecedents and performance as a Gov to campaign for him not posterity

To hell with posterity


Na emotions una want take win elections

https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing#10195342

Peter Obi left a record that is yet to be broken. He is one of the most honest, decent, good-hearted and incorruptible politician to ever emerge from Nigeria.

If Nigeria were to be a safer place, old criminals like Tifnubu won't even be contesting against him.

htdot:
When you talk of corruption, but obi and atiku is corrupt. Talk about stealing, they are both thieves just that atiku is more. Talk about competency, atiku is mild ahead interm of riviving the dead economy of the country.

Blacks have remained the poorest and most miserable race on Earth because of dishonesty and wickedness. There is no single politician as clean as Obi in Nigeria. You know that's a fact yet you choose to lie to yourself.

Shame on you!!!
