I'm telling you. And he could have easily muscled it because Namadi Sambo was too weak to even attempt to succeed Jonathan, and I don't think Jonathan would have been so involved in trying to impose his preferred northerner... So the floor would essentially be thrown 'open', and it would have been Atiku's ticket for the taking.

Atiku was the best candidate from North acceptable to every region then and he has the structure.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar sold his chance to become president of this country to Buhari in 2015 when he decamped from PDP and joined forces with Tinubu and Buhari to form APC which eventually produced Buhari as president.In essence Buhari has done Atiku's turn,Atiku miscalculated and have to pay the price...he should have supported GEJ to do his second and return power to the north by then Atiku stand the chance to become PDP candidate in 2019.

1. Hausa
2. Yoruba
3. Ijaw
4. Igbo
5.Kanuri
6 Tiv.



Note: Ijaw have 8 LGAs in Akwa Ibom State belonging to Obolo and Oro Ijaws...


Many people you call Igbos are actually Ijaws.

Ijaw people in this forum no reach 10, offline they are tiny minority who go about claiming people from other ethnic groups.

babasolution:
There' are few reasons why the Igbo were able to rebuild after the civil war.
It has only a little bit to do with the Igbo race themselves actually.

The reasons are,
1. The war was prosecuted by a minority ruler ( Gowon). Who strategically prosecuted the war to cause minimal damage to the igbos. More people were lost due to starvation than the actual fighting( it was mostly children that suffered from the war and died). There was minimal damage to Igbo cities and wealth.The 20£ story is over exaggerated.The igbos did not start from scratch.Gowon ,a minority man was able to apply strategic tactics to prevent serious damage to the Igbo.Infact Nigeria suffered too much losses from his methods of gentle ,careful prosecution of the war.

2.Shagari emergence in 1979 with Alex ekuweme as VP.Alex ekuweme was in charge of economy. He made policies that favoured the igbos by encouraging importation over domestic production. He knew that the Igbo domestic capacity had dwindled after the war,so the best option for the re-emergence of the Igbo was for them to be big players in the importation business. Igbos well received this economic model and took to importation. Alex ekuweme simultaneously gradually killed the domestic capacity of production in other regions completely ruining their economy by this the Igbo were well positioned to catch up with other regions despite being victims of the war.

Here's the catch.
The fact that the igbos were pragmatic enough to take advantage of the Alex ekuweme ECONOMIC model was to their credit and they deserve praise for that.

The fact that other regions didn't recognise this ECONOMIC hitjob and subsequent rulers couldnt change this model was to their loss.


In summary, despite the arrogance of the igbos it is pertinent to note that their positive re-emergence out of the civil war were more because of external factors than their quality as a people.

Gowon's genocidal war against ndi Igbo was intentional as he implemented and enforced economic blockage that killed millions of civilians.
After the war Gen Gowon failed to implement the famous 3Rs policy that would have seen to the recovery of the devastated region.

santaclaws:
What did Yoruba and Benin people do to her or her Biafra Group to deserve poisoning and death? She wasn't even the only one saying it in the video, other Igbo guys were echoing her comments and supporting her...

I remember when Adeyinka Grandson said something violent like this against Igbos, most Igbos made sure he was arrested and jailed in the UK, so nobody should start saying it's political or a setup when the Igbo woman is jailed and deported from Canada... You say nonsense, you reap rubbish.

If that woman made that silly statement she deserves Adeyinka Grandson treatment.Nonsense!

stanluiz:
For lagbaja to say it. He deeply knows that if his boss continue to misbehave. Hmmm

Why he is saying it in uyo. He should have go to Kano or sokoto and say it. Those calling for military coup are from the north not from the south.

Yoruba COAS don't mean anything. Northerners still control the army and defense.

That's why tinubu is doing everything possible to please them.

Let him and his boys continue looting and buying private jets.

Make Tinlumbu and his Lagos boys dey loot and ignore the suffering masses thinking having a Yoruba man as COAS will save his aşş when sh1t hitss the fan.

gidgiddy:
If you have any evidence that Simon Ekpa committed an offence, foward it to the Finnish authorities, Finland does not operate on sentiments and rumour mongering like Nigeria

Searching for evidence for someone that is claiming responsibility for terrorist attacks?
People like would have asked US to provide evidence that Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist or provide proof that he was involved in US terror attacks.

gidgiddy:
All these people talking about the self styled "Prime Minister of Biafra", Simon Ekpa, being repatriated to Nigeria make me laugh

I wonder if these people understand how the international community sees Nigeria? A lawless, insecure, highly corrupt country that lacks justice. Simon Ekpa has lived in Finland over 20 years, married a Finnish woman, has Finnish children, and long become a Finnish citizen. He even served in the Finnish Army

How do you think Finland will repatriate its own citizen to a country like Nigeria? You think Finland is Kenya or Nigeria? I have said this many times, no European country will send its citizen to a country with very bad human rights record such as Nigeria. It is never done

If the Nigerian government has any evidence against Simon Ekpa, foward it to the Finnish authorities and he will be prosecuted in Finland. But if you are hoping that Finland will send him to Nigeria, forget it

It is because the Nigerian government has no evidence against Ekpa that he is walking around Finland a free man

Don't be too confident the terrorist that is killing his own people from Finland will soon be deported

kettykings:
I seriously don't think so , the ipob people might be light years ahead of Nigeria government because eliminating Ekpa or Nnamdi kanu will lead to the emergence of 1 million snipers whose only aim will be eliminating Nigerian leaders any where in the world they are found through covert operations .I am only cautious and realistic about mistakes from both sides

IPOB in diaspora are toothless they are only good in donating money.
Any act of violence in Europe and America they will become international terrorist group.

MadamVanessa:



So far Simon Ekpa is in Finland, such can never happened till the world ends, and nothing can make Simon Ekpa leave Finland to any other country now. That was the mistake Nnamdi Kanu made. We learn from the mistakes of others and perfect our plans and strategies

The worse the Nigerian government can do is to cut diplomatic ties completely from Finland and Finland doesn't give a Bleep about that. I mean what will Finland benefit from Nigeria.


And let's just assumed Simon Ekpa is successfully extradited from Finland to Nigeria ; that can never put a stop to Biafra agitation. Another ruthless and brutal person will immediately assumed the position and fires on.

The earlier you people realizes that these people has gotten to a point of no return till they succeed in their quest ,the better for the Nigerian government to grant them their wish.

Are you sure Finland would like to cut diplomatic relations with Nigeria because of Simon Ekpa?
Recently Sweden and Finland fall under diplomatic pressure of Türkiye and deported citizens of Türkish origin who are on wanted list back home.

It is unfortunate that once a very viable and promising politician want to ruin his political career because he was carried away for being made number 6 position that meant nothing for the people of Abia state.Tinubu can take back all his appointees from Abia state including the no6 and give it to his people in Iragbiji and leave our governor alone.

True and maybe assist us to tackle insecurity, also strengthen our electoral system

Exactly!

Nwannaa aburom onye Abeokuta.

Probably you are a pained PDP man .

DaddyJapan:
Of all the problems that currently beset the world, why are you so fixated with the LGBT community?
Are members of this community singularly responsible for Nigeria's retarded growth?

Democrats corrupts sacred institutions in favour of their beloved LGBTQ...Obama was threatening African countries because of them.

DaddyJapan:
Mess it up for who? Adherents of White Supremacy like you?

Kamala presidency will only favour LGBTQ nothing more just like Obama.

ichuka:
It's just to save face for the democratic, the election is gone for them.electoral votes will finish her then.

Trump presidency will bring much needed leadership to the world that will help stop the wars in Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestanian wars.

Akinpresident:
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Go Abia and say this to civil servants or the political class.
The man no send anybody papa.
It'll take a special effect like Obi wave for him to win again. Everybody have seen who he truly is and nobody is happy even those very close to him.

So says AKIN based in Abeokuta
Go ask Ben Kalu the deputy speaker who thought he have arrived to challenge our governor the negative reaction he got and the overwhelming support ndi Abia gave to Alex Otti made Ben Kalu to go hide after his outburst.
Alex Otti will get 80% of total votes cast in 2027 election.

Radical liberal like Kamala will mess up America and the world worse than sleepy Joe did.

They are fighting for clients.

Anger na bad thing.

Henryfocoyo:
that name is what exactly I don't understand, how can you call this people "umu oma" and thier are doing stuff like this, most of my youth friends many have been killed 😭 is crazy
I told my mum I'm not crossing that state again

Is that not what they and their sopporters call them?
Later they will come online to deceive the public that those committing all manners of atrocities are people from other tribes.
It is really crazy that people are donating money to bunch of criminals to be killing their own people in the name of agitation.

Congratulations to ndi Abia.

Tinubu ubanka bwahaahahahahahhhaahahahahahahah

Henryfocoyo:
bruh no single peace anywhere in IMO, the rich don't longer visit home again, Infront of everyone they will be robbing your phones and belongings nobody will talk or do anything,
I can't remember the last time police arrest anybody for crime, if you like kill someone the police will not come

Unknown gunmen who have occupied many communities in Imo state should zukwanuike for God's sake. I mean they should rest and give peace a chance.Yes,I mean umu chineke and umu oma who goes about killing,kidnapping,robbing and car snatching across Imo state.

My brother let unknown gunmen rest if they do there will be peace.

Elusive001:
Okay
So how do you explain the truth that he put the president who had executive powers under house arrest, but jailed the vice president?

Buhari and Tinubu are both tribal bigots they have the same tribal political ideology that is why they fill the their cabinets with people from their tribe.He could have locked up Ekwueme for whatever reasons I do not know.Mind you, he jailed GEJ's former NSA Dasuki who is a Fulani man but did not touch GEJ or his wife.
