The storm is gathering in the North ahead of 2027

Possibly lead to a combined force against Tinubu

2025 is the deciding year..

Tinubu's option is to play Obasanjo's game, harmonise Southern vote and a pinch of Northern vote.

Unfortunately, Tinubu is not Obasanjo.

Hated in SE and SS by ordinary citizens

Especially after the fallout of Igbo and Yourba in the last election.

What next? Figure out a way to get the governors and senators together.

Chief of staff - Femi came out with the brilliant idea, senate southern caucus was formed headed by Senator Adetokunbo Abiru (APC Lagos East composed of 51 senators from the 17 southern states

Next, the southern Governor meeting headed by Gov of Lagos state, SE and SS governors was asked to make request of what they need.

Forget the comminque presented to press, most requested development down SS and SE, some will need FG support to win 2 term..

Good Tinubu have started to realise his fate and making early start yet the main challenge remain ahead.

The biggest of all is this man - Peter Obi.

What he does next year or what he doesn't do will determine Tinubu's chances of 2nd term..

At some point, it might be wise for Tinubu to directly make contact with Peter Obi. The only thing tinubu can do to get Southern vot is to create a regional government or implement the Jonathan confab report. This is the wish of every souther and middle belt. If tinubu can do this he may not need to campaign in the south. Even peter obi will support him

COMRADES, I think while living at the village you don't need to wait for anybody to advise you to acquire a gun for self protection

idealogical:
If you don't have land or a backyard, to plant, get a bucket, punch a hole under the bucket, add soil, and grow your tomato and pepper.

Instead of complaining, you have the power to reduce demand and lower food prices.

"It is time we get serious with Governance in Ebonyi State. Anybody celebrating these Bus Stops as achievements in the state should be ashamed of himself. In fact, this type of project should be left for local Government Chairmen".

"It's time we start holding the government accountable. Governor Nwifuru is more than one year in office and needs to get serious with Governance in the state".

Let us be realistic. Political appointment is not employment. It's just for little time, no pension, no retirement benefits.

While I vehemently condemn the dastardly attack on the Nigerian army In Aba, but it's better for them to do due deligence instead of attacking innocent people. We are not scared of them, no sane person should even be scared of this unprofessional armed force. If need arises, we will defend our land with our blood like our fathers did.
Igbos are not known to be intimidated. We don't care about the gang up by other Nigerian tribes against us, if there's a need to defend ourselves, we will do it.

And yes, we will keep telling our children about the Nigerian gang up against igbo people until the country does the right thing just like our fathers did.

We are not scared of the army, you can go to a minority to tribe elsewhere and threaten them, not the igbos.

Biafra is not going to solve the multitude of problems affecting south-easterners. The corruption, tribalism and intolerance that got us where we are now will not magically go away when Biafra becomes a reality. In fact the tribalism might even turn out to be worse because the smaller the difference between communities, the larger it appears in the mind of the people.

What will will be the fate of non-igbo speaking people in this hypothetical Biafra?

How do you know that the leaders you will get then will be better that ones you have now? Remember that while the system may change, the elites almost always have a way of staying in power.

Why are you people forcefully taking territories of people that do not identify as Igbos (South-South)?

Nobody is asking these questions not to talk of answering them and that says a lot.

I rest my case.

Quintessence44:
And who are those people?

Britain?

Arabs?

Who?

Quintessence44:
Which Fulani is destroying where?

You sound VERY paranoid.

Nigeria has 240 million people, but you think Fulani will drive us all out?

How? With some illiterate herdsmen?

Dude, stop listening to Kanu, Ekpa, Emma Powerful and all these funny characters.

Those guys are just using you people to cash out. 💰

You can say that again.

Beautiful stuff.

These statues are over 4,000 years old.

There were no 'TRIBES' before the British invaded Nigeria.

You were PROGRAMMED BY THE BRITISH TO SEE YOURSELVES AS ''TRIBES'' DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER.

Divide And Rule.

There was NOTHING like ''Igbo people'', ''Yoruba people'', ''Hausa people'' before the British got here.

People identified themselves by their LINEAGE, ie their HOMETOWN, not by the language they spoke, which was always subject to change.

Why? Because people migrated constantly. Searching for arable land, prosperous lands, conducive environments, water etc.

There was no 'lingua franca', so an Igbo speaking family migrating to Ijebu land meant they had to learn the Yoruba language of the Ijebu and speak it, learn the culture, observe their religion etc.

They would get there and ask them about the deities they honour, and they would be guided.

You could not take your religion and deities there. You would adopt theirs. That's how it worked.

After a decade or less, you've effectively become an indigene there. An Ijebu man, plus your kids!

Today we would call you a 'Yoruba man'!

But you're actually an ''Igbo man''!

THERE ARE LITERALLY MILLIONS OF YOU IN THIS POSITION RIGHT NOW.

IE your ancestors of just 150 to 300 years ago were immigrants from a totally different region to where you are now,.

GO AND DO A DNA TEST AND YOU WILL BE SHOCKED as a ''proud Yoruba man'' to learn that your great-great-grandad was an immigrant from Nnewi or Sokoto.

And YOU, Mr ''Proud Igbo man''.

GO AND DO A DNA TEST to find out where you really come from, ie your LINEAGE.

You will be shocked that you are actually from Oyo State or Kwara.

Or even from Sierra Leone or Congo!

Or holy of holies, descended from an 18th century Fulani herdsman!

Today an Igbo family can decide to migrate to Ibadan, and not bother learning to speak Yoruba for several generations, and they'll be fine, since we can all speak English.

But it was not like that in pre-colonial Nigeria.

You HAD to learn the language, and adopt the culture of your new abode, as a matter of survival.

So you true identity was your LINEAGE, not the language you were speaking at any point in time.

If LANGUAGE was what identified you in the past, that means you could be born Igbo, and by your teenage years be a Yoruba person, and by old age, an Hausa man, depending on your migratory path.

So of course it wasn't language that we identified ourselves by.

IT WAS THE EUROPEAN COLONIALISTS that created these language-based blocs, and falsely claimed that you were of the ''Igbo tribe''.

Of the ''Yoruba tribe''.

Of the ''Hausa tribe''.

It's all NONSENSE.

Why did they do it?

So that they could create large blocs of DIVISION among you, their subjects.

So that you could remain DISUNITED, in RIVALRY, and thus kept too busy fighting one another to challenge their authority.

If you are a TRIBALIST today, you are simply an ignorant colonial creation.

An ignoble, pitiful colonial caricature.

Go do a DNA geneology test, to find out where you're really from.

The 'native' language you speak today means a big fat ZERO.

Difrent:
The king looks more like a Benin palace chief than an igboman
And his title is Obi
While other igbos kings are known as Igwe. The heavy influence of Benin in Onitsha cannot be overlooked
But also we can't take away the fact of Exe Chima also being a founding member of Onitsha along with igalas.
Simply put Onitsha isn't igbo but benin

Khyrvxjzy:
in my approach to a better economy, the government should frustrate small business like pos, little stores, substandad schools, houses, handwork.

i want this things should be one eg all handwork carpenter in a city should pull resources together have a boss and work
