Nigeria has not recovered from the war..in what way are u better than the average Igbo man?

I'm only pointing out how leaders the south eastern have elected to represent them have done more harm than good to the ideology of an average south eastern person.

Same pattern, same same.

CSTRR:
I an from Delta state, but I will bite.

When awolowo was alive, he was playing second fiddle to azikiwe.

Not that it matters.

You my friend is bitting the wrong thing just like your leaders, Azikiwe whose political foolishery was instrumental in becoming second fiddle to tafawa balewa, and correcting that error led to the coup, after the coup, led to the civil war. You have not recovered the resentment till date.

Secondly, He played second fiddle in the 1957 western election results against Awolowo, another mistake when he an intelligent eastern leader should be positioning his region for development greatness. Election he lost, development, nothing.
Yet still playing second fiddle to Awolowo till date.

CSTRR:
Yeah.

Like Yoruba ronu brand of politics.
The most divisive nonsense ever seen since awolowo.

Na sit down look we dey look una.
Whatever goes up must come down.

if you have had half a political leader like Awolowo, you would have progressed beyond crying each electoral cycle, kanu and the Finland controller heading your state

Wr must give south eastern the credit they are so good at divisive politics.

They have tried divided middle belt, failed.

Pitted Yoruba Muslim vs Yoruba christian, failed.
Yoruba vs Yoruba but.
Christian north vs Muslim North.

Done everything humanly possible, what they don't know is a political ideology built on divisive, short term is bound to fail.

They will always hold the short part of the stick, those who hold the long part will be resentful towards their cause.

DoTheNeedful:
You are actually correct with the bolded part. Indeed it is the turn of the Igbos if there is anything like fairness in Nigeria. However, some of you were not brave enough to say this before the election. Rather, you were pushing Obi, a mediocre former governor, as the best thing to ever happen in the Nigerian political space. When you make argument on that front, there is no way you won't be resisted. I personally oppose Obi just because of this. I can't speak for other people who oppose Obi. Before 1999, the Yorubas were clear in pushing the Yoruba presidency. In your pride, you guys didn't do that, you only started making bogus claims and ridiculing past leaders in other parts of the country. The funny thing is that this Obi is average at best.

Secondly and more importantly, the inability of the SE to clinch the presidency this time around can also be largely attributed to the way you dump your votes in one direction, sometimes in a bid to "hurt" or show "disgust" to another part of the country. After all the hate that the SE showed APC since 2014 calling the party "supporter of APC party", "Boko Haram party", "Muslim Brotherhood", and even hating on Igbo politicians in the party like OUK, Uzodinma, Umahi, you would not expect the party to zone their presidential ticket to the SE. It would be grossly unfair to the Yorubas who supported this party from the beginning and have endured 8 years of insults for doing so. The hatred of BAT by our SE brothers started just in 2014. The GEJ you guys supported has moved on with his Ijaw brothers. You guys did not. The Yorubas don't give 90% votes to anyone, and this gives them a back-channel to another party.

Lastly, it is not totally fair to blame the Yorubas for the inability of the SE to clinch the presidency. It seems that the SE love to blame the Yorubas for any unpalatable thing that happens to them. Where is your anger at PDP you voted for 24 years? The least PDP could have done was to zone the presidency to the SE. They didn't and the SE people are not grumbling. Where is your anger at Atiku, the perennial contestant, for contesting at a time the ticket should be zoned to the SE. You have no problem with Atiku, but BAT.

In 2014, Saraki, Tinubu, Amaechi, Atiku all joined forces to boot out GEJ. It is important to note that, of all these people, Tinubu was the only one who was never a PDP member. However, the SE forgave all these other people but choose to single out the Yoruba man among them to blame and to hate. It's funny.

. You did appropriate justice, I need to put another full stop.

When it is something bad, the nationality of Nigeria woman. when it's success, Igbo woman, it's simply about ethnicity.

Just like in 1946, zik western pilot propaganda.

When preparation meets opportunity.

Kobojunkie:
Huh? How much time does it take to do that since the man said he had been waiting since August for his?

edited previous post, who's waiting since August?
For an existing passport backlog spanning 10 year + and expecting wholesome change in 2 month.

Kobojunkie:
So backlogs were cleared but there are people still in that backlog waiting to receive their passports?

It is a Nigerian thing with the notion to fast track things, it takes time to shuffle to search your passport out of the multitude of passports. Change takes time, you don't expect those fraudster civil servants who were cashing on the system to make it easy.

DMerciful:
Who does not know that APC na scam?

cleared backlogged of 220,000 passport in record time might usher in an efficient process.

Kingsleyjonah:
I believe it's a gradual process

exactly, change is a gradual process, it takes time especially in Africa where innovation has not taken full shape.

Ejiakusmith:
Probably had it been LP candidate became a president just like the abia state ..... Nigeria 🇳🇬 wouldn't have been this expensive today

Kudos to governor Alex oti

may Nigerians not be unfortunate to vote from a region celebrating as basic as thickness of gutter and logo in 2023.

They vote and celebrate mediocrity in south east and insult excellency in other region.
The south east are the real our mumu don do, empty barrel but with noises.

Where are the " we develop Lagos", if we leave it will crumble.🤡🤡

I will drop this footnote here with the purpose to quote in few years time,. this proclaimed journalist will be the obidient or ibos worst nightmare.

We have seen you feed monsters after monsters in the past, keep feeding your new monster, one day he will hunt y'all with worst damning malicious propaganda to death.

At some point we need to agree the ibos need an intensive orientation, the specimens they exhibits are not fit for any society.

Interesting

Meet our folks from " we are going to waste our votes in 2023"

There's no short cut to success, not jumping from party to party or top to bottom. it takes years of proper planning to win an election. One more eluppe p down, more to go.

JhyMedex:
I find myself in a similar position. The girl I'm currently dating is just like ur wife. I love her too.. but my concern is her family is not as well to do as the other 2 gals pulling my shirt...

sorry to ask, but having been married to your wife for some time now.. do you feel like u should have gone for the one of the other girls?

you need to judge her extended family beyond economic prospect, what if they are well to do but demanding beyond your limits, what if her family demands her loyalty before they put you into consideration. If I'm you, I will put my peace of mind as the priority, then check the at worst case scenario, can i cope with it etc.

MTNnews:
So you as a person is Ok with potholes littering every Lagos road ? How was Fashola able to build school n maintain both inner n highway road that this clown can even maintain the 3 major highways in Lagos ?

The perspective shared here focused on Education accessibility, I've helped you with the website of Lagos state public works department to direct your off thread questions.

MTNnews:
This clown should pay attention to roads in Lagos

Irony when he focus on roads tommorow, you will say "This clown should pay attention to Schools in Lagos".

Awolowo legacy lives on!

Bestmanfornow:
He's Yoruba guy

don't include south west in any of your shenanigans.

The way President Tinubu is hawking Nigeria to the world is so impressive.

The question is not whether Nigeria is open for business. The question is how much of the world is truly open to doing business with Nigeria and Africa in an equal, mutually beneficial manner.” — President tinubu.

One day this david davidhundeyin the south eastern folks praise will turn to their nemesis, he will shred you all political, cultural and socio historical aspect to hell, from rag to rags, frypan to firepan, hell to hell.
Keep feeding him, you have fed some in the past, he will hold you all to ransom in the future just like the plethora of monsters you all southeastern have made without your emotion. For now enjoy his loyalty.
