Nonsense and rubbish. How can this kind of human being be DG of VON? Did I just read this man say "election promises are hardly kept"?

Atiku has taken this thing already. No need for grammar

Ekweremadu is a wise man. He knows the backlash against Umahi, Obiano and the clowns is heating up

This duplicitous, mercenary hack should enjoy his 30 pieces of silver and shut the f#@k up

Hypocrite

Presidential rocking. Atiku na real guy man

Who VP epp? I need restructuring. What SE governors need to do if they're serious is negotiate some long term issues with Atiku that will be visible for future generations to see. If Atiku promises to build a railway line from Onitsha-Okigwe-Aba-Afikpo line o Aba, , I will bet that Buhari won't be able to secure 25% of the votes in the SE

Eko Ile you don smoke again abi

Abeg I don't want to enter Lagoon oooo

Ndi Igbo listen well. Oba Akiolu has warned you and he is a king who can't be changing his mind up and down like a nonsense politician. Vote Ambode or lagoon I don talk my own

Even Phyno is game

HardMirror:
It beats my imagination that the ibos have made it a duty to back ambode despite the fact that because of ambode, oba akinolu cursed and threatened them with the infamous 'Lagoon curse'.

Why is it ok that a man must have 8 years in office when the fact remains that he has done nothing special considering the amount of money lagos state has.

Is it now a problem for his popularity to be challenged by his party?


Please lets us be reasonable. Let the Apc do their primaries ambode or not, lagosians would decide when the general election comes

but you guys have been swearing for three years that Ambode is a wonderful candidate. We have now agreed that Ambode should go for second term as you plus Oba Lil Wayne have been wanting. Now you have all changed your minds. Na lie oooooo we must vote Ambode as you told us to in 2015

EmekaMD:
Igbos are Republicans in nature such that everyone's opinion counts, unlike the Yorubas who's got their Lord and Savior in Tinubu.
He says jump and they ask how far should we...

Tinubu has their brains in his jagaban cap. Up until few weeks ago they were swearing that Ambode was a fantastic governor. Suddenly Ambode is a villain because jagaban has quarrelled with him

0monnak0da:
I thought Iboes owned Lagos and were 70% of the population? Are the Iboe developers if Lagos in his pocket?
Entire SW in Tinubu s pocket? That is foolishness unworthy of an answer
All over Nigeria governor try to influence their succession we have seen this in Edo, in Abla and in Imo with Rochas and his in law and illegal impeachment of his deputy and his daughter as commissioner for enjoyment
T

Now you have avoided the uncomfortable truth about your slavish jagaban reality and want to hide under the usual simple minded nairaland tribalist junk

You want to now argue that Tinubu doesn't own the SW? Jagaban juju no catch me o. Abeg waka

GermanPoison:
ojukwu would have been igbo jagaban they decide to follow PDP instead of APGA they will be shouting marginalization very soon

Even Ojukwu could never be Jagaban. Never bro

0monnak0da:
Do you have any facts about anyone imposing anyone in Borno or Kano or Benue?
How did Otedola become governor?
FYI
When Shagari became president in 1979 he won 7 states in the north, maybe you are too young, he did not win Kano state which is where the 12 2/3 controversy came about.
The idea that people anywhere in Nigeria are told who to vote for or that the Iboes are more republican or independent in their voting is hubris.
Ibo hubris.
Zik controlled Ibo votes so do not tryi to repackage it as "influence "

When it suits the Aros become Ibo?

Well we know that Aro is conquered territory ruled by Akamkpa kings to this day.
Iboes are not more republican than anyone, the reality is Ibos are essentially villagers and never developed any political institutions suited to anything beyond village life

Lol!!! Interesting you tried to ask questions about imposing candidates in Borno and Benue when the proper comparison should be jagaban republic in yoruba land Nice try though When you are brave enough to address the elephant in the room let me know.

I won't even dignify your disgraceful comment about the Aro people not being Igbos with an answer

Ngige despite his shortcomings had the balls to tell his godfather to eff off and damn the consequences like the typical republican Igbo man. Jagaban's jazz can never work in our yard because we are DIFFERENT. Tinubu has put the entire SW in his pocket yet there is nothing to show except monstrous debt. Yet there is flooding, bad roads, horrible cities with poor quality of life, no pipeborne water, bad roads, no railways except the one Federal government built etc

There can never be a jagaban in SE because we are more sophisticated than that ! Go argue with your keyboard.

0monnak0da:
Why do you guys like deceiving yourselves about so called "republican nature"

Anyone old enough to remmber knows that Zik commanded 100% loyalty among the Ibos he picked the two Ibo governors in 1979 Nwobodo and Mbakwe and controlled their votes totally

With Regard to republican nature. The ibos are not more republican than any group in southern Nigeria

The fundamental thing is that the Ibos have always worshipped money and it is only rich people who can achieve the status of "titled men who ruled the tiny villages in which they have always existed.

The Ibos had not evolved to the level of organization of anything bigger than village government before they were colonized and so talking about republicanism among villagers is just self flattery.

What is the biggest town that existed in Iboland before they were colonized?

There is nothing republican about Ibos. Theyy are indeed very autocratic if given a chance. An Ibo governor once took an opponent
to government house to have him flogged
It is very common for powerful Ibos to commission the flogging of weaker Ibos for social infractions to this day

Generally this lack of evolvement is evident in the chaotic and unruly organization of their affairs.
Lack of discipline is not the same thing as republicanism.
Republicanism by definition will eschew slavery and the Ibos kept slaves just like their neighbours. Republicanism implies every one had a say in public affairs equally but in Iboland the culture is that the poor shut up even if they are elders when the rich speak.
Nothing republican about that
What are the institutions of this republicanism . How was traditional Ibo society governed? Did they have elections?

The only thing that makes any sense in your post is that Zik commanded huge influence in the SE which is what i posted in the post you quoted. I don't have any facts about Zik "imposing" Nwobodo and Mbakwe so you can share them if they exist but i can bet that Zik never forced them to hand over their state coffers to him in the crude and criminal manner that jagaban has used to bleed yoruba land dry with no visible progress

The rest is the usual tribalistic stereotypical nonsense balderdash that springs from a place of bitterness. Go and read up on the geographical scale of the Ekumeku resistance against the British before you repeat fables here. Or the expanse of the Aro Confederacy from the 17th century. Do you even know anything about the Ama-ala or town hall union structure?? Dude read up. Tribalism is not everything

konoplyanka:
Read you dumb assh0le.

Mynd44 abi Mynd 44 this young girl just broke Rule 2

Kindly deal with this

konoplyanka:
Lol. Go to Ibadan and Osun and see pipe borne water. besides, they are govt projects. People have bore holes now.

Lmao!!!!!!!!!! Boreholes

Boreholes were resorted to because of the failure of governments to provide pipeborne water. Do people use boreholes in the civilised world?

Few homes in Ilesa in Osun managed to get pipeborne water in 2013 thanks to President Jonathan not jagaban. Who jagaban epp

konoplyanka:
But they could have nnmadi kanu who was not elected and collects money from them and impose levy on them. selling fake passport and fake money to them? Demanding them to worship at his feet.

Osu logic.

Do you have pipeborne water in Lagos or anywhere in SW? Now I know you are just here to troll. You have nothing sensible to say here

konoplyanka:
What do you know about democracy? who dash monkey banana? read the early European accounts and see how democracy was practiced in the old Oyo Empire.

Tell me about democracy in Oyo if you know about it

KAYD007:
That's why they fail woefully when it comes to national politics..they don't have a national leader that will aggregate all these divergent interests into a formidable national force like as it is obtainable in the southwest zone.

In a decent country no ethnic group should need to have a rogue jagaban who will steal all the resources, handpick some of his followers and make them leaders and achieve nothing. Tinubu has been leader of yorubas for twenty years but Lagos the pride of the SW does not have pipeborne water.

Who jagaban epp?

AnanseK:
They are not governable.

Igbos have a sophisticated system of democracy that had been practised for thousands of years before the the white man brought democracy to the yorubas and northerners. We never had any dictator in the form of a king oppressing people or civil wars as we had in Yoruba land or other places.

odogwu125:
The North created the "jagaban" out of zik.

The truth is that Zik reduced himself and stature just to fit into the local politics that Ahmadu Bello and Awo were playing

divinelove:
It's even impossible for any man to control the politics of his state talk more of the entire Igboland.

Political loyalty does last in the East, the only best accepted by the whole south east lately is nnamdi kanu because Biafra is everyone dream here

Gbam

amaniro:
What makes you think so.

The facts speak clearly for themselves.

Besides Zik there has been no one that has commanded influence on a regional scale. All the people on your list are kings in their state or party circles but definitely not on a SE scale. Nnamdi Kanu though not a politician and very popular with the masses had that effect but even he divided opinions in some quarters

Due to the Republican nature of the Igbo its impossible to have a jagaban type political leader. Totally impossible. The nearest we have come is Zik

krendo:
Jonathan was civilised

There is nothing weak in allowing the will of the people count in an election

What Buhari and Oshiomole are doing in APC is very primitive. They are the weak men.

At this time rather than spend billions in a process that counts for nothing I will rather a military takeover

Somewhere in Osun today Yoruba people were killing their fellow Yoruba people

Somewhere in Osun police was used to stop Yoruba people from going to vote in their own land just because they support PDP

For what really? Just so that Oshiomole and Buhari can remain in office

120% correct

Donmedrac:
hmm if it was me.. the inec chairman must be my brother or sister..

All the security heads must be my relations

I'll make sure my party wins every elections even in dreams

My brother if I was Jonathan I'd have locked El rufai, Tinubu, Dino Melaye, Omojuwa and the rest of those APC clowns in DSS cells. Filled the streets with soldiers on election day make anybody cough make I see. Jonathan tried o. He is a role model to the world. A real gentleman and African icon

He was naive but definitely not weak. It takes a man of strength to have power and resist the urge to misuse it. The man's wife, aides, staff etc wanted him to use power to remain in power but he was strong in character and humble enough to obey the law.

History will always be on his side
