Ndigbo should strategize and bargain especially with the TWO candidates likely to be president on at least four central issues: A) Lasting peace and security in the South East, including the release and engagement with Nnamdi Kanu. B)South East Economic transformation agenda and the FGN’s Marshall Plan for the South East as promised since the end of the Civil War (the post war ‘reconstruction’). We appreciate the Second Niger Bridge and recent contract for MTN to reconstruct the Onitsha-Enugu expressway. But the rail-lines to the five state capitals, speedy access to the sea, highways linking South East to the North and South South, addressing our existential threat as gully erosion capital of Africa, Free Trade and Export Processing Zones, etc. C) Restructuring Agenda for Nigeria that devolves powers/resources to the subnational entities and in which it would no longer matter where the President comes from. D) Levelling the playing field for the unleashing of the private sector and the full participation of Ndigbo in the economic and governance space; etc. - Prof. Charles Soludo ........................................................................................ What does SW gain with their Alliance with North? Lagos to Ibadan Expressway Shagamu to Ore Expressway Ibadan to Ogbomoso Expressway Ibadan to Ikire (under rehabilitation) Lagos to Sango Ota (under Construction) Apapa to Oshodi (completed). Railway.... Lagos to Ibadan and by extension to Osogbo. (completed) Seaport.... Lekki deep Seaport delivered Oil & Gas.... Dangote Refinery 98% completed. Agriculture.... Imota Rice Mill (98% completed) Art & Culture..... National Theatre completed revamped and to be expanded. SW also gain federal Institutions. Soludo is speaking the Truth. There is no need hating on him. Umahi benefited greatly by building strong Alliance with PMB. |
Our founding fathers understood that in politics, you don’t get what you deserve but what you bargain/negotiate, and you negotiate with your organization and VOTES. Not social media militancy or bullying (where over 90% of actual voters are not on social media)! Our fathers built alliances with other major political parties in other regions (not with socio-cultural groups that don’t command any votes), and Ndigbo were in the reckoning in the first and second republics. After the elections, we will see how many votes any of the leaders of the socio-cultural groups will get for Peter Obi from their wards. Sometimes I even sense a conspiracy to nudge us on a path to nowhere thereby further pushing us into irrelevance, and I pray that I am wrong. - Prof. Charles Soludo ............................................................................................ Deeper |
The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. ......Afterwards, we would start complaining that we don’t get “what we deserve” or cry of marginalization. What is our Plan B when Peter Obi loses in February 2023? Some people prefer that we should play the Ostrich while Peter Obi toys with the collective destiny of over 60 million Igbos. Yes, you pray that he wins, but what if he fails as he is certain to? The Bible says that my people perish for lack of knowledge. As the saying goes, only those who Plan can control the future. Ndigbo, wake up and smell the coffee! What would Zik of Africa or M.I. Okpara do in this circumstance? - Prof. Charles Soludo ........................................................................................... Deep! |
![]() During the 2019 presidential election, the five South East States were united for PDP but contributed merely 1.6 million votes to PDP which was about the votes that Kano state gave to Buhari. The emotions might run to heavens but politics-power is about cold calculations, organization and building alliances for power. In a democracy, it is a game of numbers. So far, I don’t see any of these--- and 2023 might again be a wasted opportunity for Ndigbo! - Prof. Charles Soludo ........................................................................................ Prof. still ain't getting it? A newly formed Party won Elections in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho. LB gonna win in Nigeria too..... LMFAO |
raumdeuter: ![]() Surprisingly TrebleChamp was once a core party man, yet he seems lost to the fantasy too. |
![]() The polls also show that he is taking votes away mostly from PDP. Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP. It is what it is! - Prof. Charles Soludo ......................................................................................... Sssshhhhhh!!! Ooin..... Sir, you shouldn't have revealed it nah. They gonna trust your words than ours now and they may eventually consider voting Atiku in 2023. |
![]() Of course, Peter Obi will get some votes, and may probably win in Anambra state--- as “home boy”. But Anambra is not Nigeria. If he likes, I can even campaign for him but that won’t change much. From internal state by state polling available to me, he was on course to get 25% in 5 states as at August this year. The latest polling shows that it is down to four states, and declining. Not even in Lagos state (supposed headquarters of urban youths) where Labour Party could not find candidates to contest for House of Reps or Senate. - Prof. Charles Soludo ......................................................................................... Prof. never gets the memo ba? We no dey vote party but candidate. For instance we'll vote for Banky W for Rep and he's in PDP. Prof. Sir..... are you saying Edo no be Lagos too?! LOL |
![]() Of course, LP won governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun on social media and via phantom polls, while getting barely 2,000 votes on ground. Creating a credible third force for presidential election in Nigeria requires a totally different strategy and extreme hard work. - Prof. Charles Soludo ......................................................................................... LMFAO..... Mi o ni so nkankan. |
![]() Indeed, there is no credible pathway for him near the first two positions, and if care is not taken, he won’t even near the third position. Analysts tell him you don’t need “structure” to win. Fantasy! - Prof. Charles Soludo ......................................................................................... Awon Donjazet2, Theflint1, Segedinho, TrebleChamp ati bebelo. These People honestly need to check their brains. Why APGA remain unbeatable in Anambra? Structure! Same Peter Obi failed to win Gubernatorial Poll for PDP twice cos PDP has no solid Structure in Anambra unlike APGA. |
Every four years, we resurface with emotive Nzogbu Nzogbu political dance (“it is our turn dance” but without organization or strategy) and fizzle out afterwards while others work 24/7 strategizing and organizing. Let’s be clear: Peter Obi knows that he can’t and won’t win. He knows the game he is playing, and we know too; and he knows that we know. The game he is playing is the main reason he didn’t return to APGA. The brutal truth (and some will say, God forbid) is that there are two persons/parties seriously contesting for president: the rest is exciting drama! That many Americans may not like the fact that Joe Biden (79 years) and Donald Trump (76 years) are two frontrunners for president in their parties does not remove the fact that if both of them emerge as candidates, definitely one of them will be president in 2024. - Prof. Charles Soludo ......................................................................................... Mi o ni so nkankan. |
![]() People will however differ as to whether saving money in the bank account is a KPI (key performance indicator) for a government where poverty is escalating except where its institutions for absorption are weak or where the government has no robust/big agenda for transformation. Governments exist to save lives, not to save money. We can debate and differ on this--- (by the way, I know when/how it is appropriate to “save” as I built Nigeria’s foreign reserves from $10 billion I inherited to all time $63 billion, and even after paying $12 billion to pay-off Nigeria’s external debt and going through unprecedented global financial crisis, [highlight]still left behind about $45 billion--- Go and verify!). - Prof. Charles Soludo ........................................................................................ Prof. Sir........ E don do. Off the Mic. By the way, how did GEJ manage the money saved by OBJ Administration again?! From $45b surplus to borrowing $60+b and next to nothing to show for it. |
A Bishop recently publicly advised that I should please try to construct the “Ngige type of quality roads”, stating that the ones done by his successor (that is, Peter Obi) had washed off, while Ngige’s remained. - Prof. Charles Soludo ......................................................................................... Tor..... Oro pe si je, odidi Eni ami Ororo. Legacies in the mud. |
Peter Obi was governor for 8 years (2006 -2014) during a period of unprecedented oil boom and prosperity in Nigeria (Nigerian economy was growing at average of 6-8% per annum, and oil price was highest during this time). .....people might differ as to the propriety of using taxpayers money to promote a company in which one is a shareholder in the name of “investment”, or even whether so called “savings” are warranted when there were dozens of schools without roofs or classrooms, or local governments without access roads or hospitals without doctors/nurses. - Prof. Charles Soludo ........................................................................................ David Hundeyin!!! Come and do your dirty job on Soludo! He hates our demigod. He's lying, perhaps working for BAT. |
.....Under Tinubu, the South West strategically organized under a different political party, the ACN and went into a formidable alliance that kicked out a sitting president (in Africa?), and that alliance is not broken yet. Igbos, in their frenzied Nzogbu nzogbu politics, have sadly found themselves in a political cul de sac. Tragic indeed! When will my people smell the morning coffee? - Prof. Charles Soludo |
Someone reminded me that a mob has no head and hence cannot reason. The same Peter Obi was one of those who told Ndigbo that APGA was the vehicle through which Igbos would organize to engage the rest of Nigeria politically. He was said to have sworn to Ojukwu and publicly that he would quit politics the day he leaves APGA. The rest is history. he was the Vice-Presidential candidate under PDP in 2019, the emotive train then dubbed the ticket “the Igbo project”. As then chairman of planning and strategy committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, I cautioned for a more pragmatic approach but the emotive blaze of the time held sway. We were vindicated afterwards. - Prof. Charles Soludo ........................................................................................ As Obidense tokan tokan, akkant take it no more. |
We have shown him tremendous goodwill—which he did not extend to the same Labour Party when he was Governor (Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, as LP governorship candidate in 2013 was denied the use of Ekwueme Square for his rallies). - Prof. Charles Soludo ......................................................................................... It's a Lie, Obi is a Saint, a true Democrat, he can never do that. |
![]() Don J.... all we are say! Show us hand of god o. You owe no one any bet, don't be scared coz your hand ain't gonna be chopped off. |
izzou: ![]() Mi o ni so nkankan. |
izzou: ![]() This is something we've saying quite long, but they do assume we are hating. I've been a fan of APGA and Anambra since 2016 but to these Dumbass, anyone critiquing their demigod is a tribalist.
|
![]() BAT ain't a Rookie in this game. He ain't gonna respond to kids toying around with sand. David Hundeyin should keep on cashing out and building his respective online platforms. He's simply following footsteps of Yele Sowore. |
![]() Dude said its just for jabs? Really? So Don J can be this humbled and clowning.... LMFAO! Trust you bro to clapback at nihilistjnr by doing what Segedinho suggests - middle fuckin finger in your sitting room. I remember when same Don J shared a screenshot of donation to Obi Campaign without making it clear it wasn't his. When I asked him if he did make the Donation, as a smart Dude, though with a touch of diagnosis, he responded that it wasn't his - with tears falling in his eyes like Erin Waterfall... LOL |
