Aigbofa: In the spirit of equity you can argue for a Nigerian president if Igbo extraction. But the notion that he will transform Nigeria just because of his tribe is nonsense.
As for Biafra, it is no longer a potent weapon of blackmail, nobody cares.

abrat: I was told President Goodluck Ebele Azikwe Jonathan is half Igbo & half Ijaw. If that is so, it means we are currently having Igbo man as president. What else do u want?

la furia: 1.STFU as well, haba, you see thats the problem with you folks, u asked about your region, you didnt answer because u have nothing to say both jumped to talk to another. u guys complain about the north as if u care more than the northers. Are telling me east cant develop because they are yet to occupy the presidecy? what made u guys to vote GEJ 100percent? tell me, yea, becuse he was close to the igbos. what has anyim done since he became sec-gen of the federation? not heard much from him. it is the likes ohakim, orji that will rule naija? u all dont even support rochas for goodness sake.

2. yes north has ruled for more years and achieved basically nothing, the northerners know that more than u do. and other region deserves a chance but that person should have a proven record and not because he comes from the east or west. look at GEJ, no proven record as governor but got voted for presidency and here we are. obviously how can u prove to me that an igbo person becoming the president would develop?

3. u dont want a northern president because they havent developed their region, y should i accept an eastern when he hasnt done any.....i guess akpabio should be the next president since he is obvious person developing his state.

Ok where are you from? Now let me challange you to expose your folly here. If you are Yoruba, show me any state apart from Lagos that is more developed and modern looking than Enugu state If you are Hawusa, which Northern state apart from the FCT Abuja is more advanced and modern looking than Anambra state. If not I say to you again...foooool STFU.! We voted for GEJ 100% because we believe in "Equity and Fairness". And unless we get it too, Nigeria will keep moving round aimlessly in circles of cause Obviously until we get our Sovereign Republic of Biafra.

MegaMan2020: Igboland is easily the most underdeveloped part of Nigeria. That's why Igbos run away from the place. It's also why Igbos that run to the North and SW don't want to develop their place. They know it's a lost cause. Imagine Igbos talking how great they would make Nigeria when they can't even make Igboland great lol.

FXKing2012: @okparaIgbo, I guess that is why Igbos are called Jews - no matter how much u try to suppress them, they keep multiplying and growing stronger.

FXKing2012: Without boring you with the input of great Igbos such as Azikiwe, Mbadiwe, etc in the struggle for independence, here is a list of Igbos laundering the image of Nigeria and helping Nigeria to be respected within the international community:

Okonjo Iweala (World Bank VP and best finance minister), Ezekwesili (World Bank president for Africa), Prof Chinue Achebe (best Nigerian author and author of the best selling African novel), Prof Maurice Iwu (developer of HIV treatment drug), Don Jazzy (best African music producer), Chidinma (best African female singer), P.Square (best African music group), Flavour (best Nigerian male singer), Prof Akunyili (best NAFDAC DG), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (author of Purple Hibiscus and winner of multiple literary awards), Kanu Nwankwo (most decorated African footballer of all time), Soludo (best CBN governor), Okorocha (best state governor), FXKing2012 (best forex trader), etc etc.

Now, question is shouldn't Nigeria be more grateful to Igbos?

The blatant truth is that the Igbo's are evidently a blessed ethnic group and Nigeria has tried to suppress it and you don't have to look far to see why.! It's just like the story of Joseph who was blessed by God yet was hated by his closest kin (his brothers) even to the point that they planned harm on him . But one thing has always remained SURE, and that is "The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and it addeth no sorrows" and that is exactly why the Igbo's keep matching forward inspite of the hatred and jealousy from them all. I am proud to be an OkparaIgbo...

marveouz: Superiority complex is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person's feelings of superiority counter or conceal his or her feelings of inferiority.....you need a Psychologist.

My friend you definitely do need a psychologist. The nonsense you posted above have been the self deceit lies you tell yourself when someone simply tells you the truth. If this true statement " I am of Igbo origin and by default I can NEVER be a coward.. I'm blessed by God even before I was born because he knew I was going to be a son from the land of the brave. " equals superior complexity then let it be known that I am superior complex and you are nothing but a sore loser.

Guapo: This is chronic stupidity. I went through the 9 pages of these thread smh. To the starters of these thread, i say you've done a good job. Its what you were paid to do, because i don't see sane humans deriving satisfaction in pursuing a cause without some measure of benefits. And to those on the side of Fashola, i am very disappointed that you had to dance to their tune and waste ur internet data. You all should have seen the motivation is not ordinary and patriotic, its evil. If these are the citizens Nigeria breeds, its a pity. You wish to know whose side i'm on? Well, i'm on the side of good governance irrespective of who brings it. The whole eggs in the basket have gone bad, yet we single one out for criticism. That is Madness!

My friend would you shut up and stop barking like a foolish dog Who are you blaming for educating your mind to see that the patriots of the Lagos state government didn't do him any favour by not providing on ground progress on the front page. Since you are on the side of good governance why did you yourself not post evidential documents to quell the question from the OP. Are you mad or what I see educational standards have become severly damaged in Nigeria that graduates these days are once who are besieged by the hydra-headed monster called illitracy

Eko Ile: Worry about your stone age village you dumb azzzz double ID coward...

You are nothing but the son/daughter of a smelly Yoruba big mouthed ape loving woman therefore already cursed before birth. Hahaha Coward you say? Son I am of Igbo origin and by default I can NEVER be a coward.. I'm blessed by God even before I was born because he knew I was going to be a son from the land of the brave.. , however same cannot be said about the loud mouthed, noise making and weak Yoruba folks who instead of come out to say it how it is will rather run inside a cave. . Keep mouthing off son, I'm done with you as I would rather action than words

Eko Ile: You clowns are the same DOUBLE IDs...

I don't like insulting people until they have dared to insult me. So I will not even be bothered with trading words with you Eko Ile. But can you say that if we are not the same I.D then let it be known that my post was directed to peeps like you.? . But if we are then shame on me...SNM Son

ikeyman00: ^^^^ the wahala is tribalism wouldnt let them em

hyelhira: So why is your compatriot complaining?
