Boys on here are scared of an educated woman cos they know she wouldn't tolerate nonsense from you..

They hate women power..you are looking for a woman you can use as you want huh.. una go cry tire..

They are looking for slave and not a wife .

backbencher:
That's very true, but I am tired of PDP and APC politicans. I have made it a point not to vote for either party for years.

Both parties have no answer to our problem. Our economy is too reliant on whatever we export. And we are poor as a result because whatever we export is never at a price that favours us.

Let both parties and their partisans go and sit down. E don do.

Yes . Weither you vote or not , thier people will still vote them in. And when they do, make sure you remain mute and never complained. Since you decided to stay in your house, while you allowed street urchin & market women (that have been lured with money) to vote in stupid leaders, whose actions and inactions will still affect you.
This is not the time to seat on the fence and watch or be a spectator.

Was it not Americans that developed America? Was it aliens? If everyone leaves Nigeria, who ought to develop it? Its time we sit down and solve our problems, relocation wouldn't solve anything. One day, all these other Nations will close their border to the black man. Una go hear am.

Pls preach that to your leaders . We can't continue to suffer and die over a country that does not care if you live or die. Tell our stupid and greedy leaders to stop stealing & starching our money in foreign land.They should develop thier country..and make it livable and functional so that Nigerians can strive .
Nigeria is just a geographical space to Nigerians and nothing more . We are only Nigerians during football and after that every body goes back and align themselves with thier various ethnicity.

You mentioned 2 out of the very few who ever held and office, the amount of women in political positions in Nigeria is less than 10 percent but you found 2, now mentioned 2 out of the 80 percent that ever held an office. Also you missed someone in my federal constituency that I feel is working as needed. Mention two men

Fashola and Peter obi.

Jakumo:
Wow, you are such a brilliant detective. Who would have guessed that a black woman from Nigeria would also be a "negro"?

You should consider enrolling in the FBI or MI6, considering your genius-level deductive reasoning.

The word Negro is even offensive for him to use . Funny guy.

There is nothing God can't do, she can still have pregnant and have kids.

it's not compasory she must have kids . She can live her life with husband happily without crying babies at old age

robinso01:
Congrats to her. The purpose of her wedding is not to have kids anymore, but to fulfill the desire of getting married.

companionship I guess .with old age comes loneliness.Especially when all Ur children would have left home for school or to start thier lives in other places

I feel like I'm left out of something I always felt Tinubu was a much better alternative to any northern politician but online it seems like many people don't share my views...

Can you tell me what you dislike about Tinubu and please be specific?

He knew Buhari was dull and clueless and a nepotistic leader but he packaged him anyway and sold him to stupid Nigerians vote him into power.
Nigeria is in this big mess, because of Tinunu. And he is still busy praising Buhari leadership not out of love , but of cowardice and sycophancy.I dislike him becos of his wicked ambition that he is ready to get at all any cost. His cowardice in remaining silent when his own people were been raped and slaughtered really got me thinking if this man really care for his people or simply a wicked leader. Tinubu is not a good leader nor a statesman..He is only good to his street urchin and his political cronies- as long as they abide by his rules.

Megabig:
The mentality of the replies under this thread shows there is no hope at all for most of you. The disgust y’all have for women taking elective positions, this is 2022, open your eyes. Women are excelling beyond your reach and giving them a chance is a great idea.

The women we elect into office become a nuisance to the very people that voted them in.Have you taken statistic of most of our women in politics..Only two i could pick that did well.Dora Akinyuli and Obi Ezekwesili..The rest..either getting involve in one corrupt cases to the other or are a pain in our ass..aka..The stupid Lauretta Anochie..what ever her name is .

Madam, abeg forget woman in politics.These present crops of women are nothing but a bunch of arrogant element and a big disappointment to the women folks in Nigeria .

Please ..take a look at Remi Tinubu,very arrogant woman that has never sponsored any bill to better the lot of women in our society. Laureta Anioche kno! that one is just a nuisance and a pain in the ass. What about our former minister of petroleum..Mrs. Alison Madueke?That one stole money and ran away to UK to avoid arrest.Quite a disappointment she is. Etteh and co nko?!The same story of corruption .

So what makes them different from the males folks that are busy stealing the future of their unborn generation?
Even this so called Ita Giwa, did she sponsor any bill to put a stop to the maltreatment and marginalization of women in our society? Now she is talking because she is out of office...Nigeria women don't look out for other women..They become very proud and arrogant when they get into power,not knowing that power is transient.

Good gesture, Jonathan is a good man but the sycophants around him ruined his government.
Maybe he has learnt his lesson

Sychophancy is like a profession in Nigeria. Political jobbers go into survival mode just to survive..and it's through through Sychophancy that they can only eat. So there is no govt that is devoid of such nuisance.It now takes the president to know what is really happening by reading the news and connecting with the masses through happenings and Thier complains via social media

Reality3080:
d only time u should do biz with an igbo is when u are willing to lose your money or your life

How do u know he is an Igbo man ??

ThickSharon123:
He sent the money to your account with the account details you had given. Sorry, dear, it doesn't make sense.

You don't go around hurting people. I'm not condemning me for your act. But you need to be careful of yours too, becuase as they say what goes around comes around.

If you're the one who did so, secretly give him back his money. It is better to see someone happy than sad, while you're happy in winning over on the person. We are all one, so if we hurt anyone, you hurt yourself but you don't know.

Ever wonder why people use the tone, "what evil did I do in my life?" Its becuase of circumstances as this, they seem to forget. So, if you really want us to start something together, pay him and have a change if it's you.

You even told him to call the sales rep in person and showed him the drug bottle, so what are you saying?

That is how scammers are . They lie so much that they end up adopting thier lies as truth .
They lack any Oita of conscience,nor humanity in them. Just imagine that Benjamin1997 lying that it was a Benjamin199 that took money from the victim and not him . How convenient. Now that you have presented the evidence before him , I wonder what he has to say to that . Very pathetic human being .

Revolution2022:
I [b]don't think the warders saw him.If they did he would have been arrested.[/b]Some people have been arrested at Ikeja high court for sharing gifts to inmates inside the prison van.

Meanwhile how did they donate the 300k and give to him?I still don't believe this story tho.

They dont have any problem with people giving them money . I once gave a prisoner money inside a black Maria. But before I did, I signalled to the warders if I could give them money and they noded yes. So I did .

That is another fanatic..Pls we need a leader that with a clear head of purpose.

mach7:
Watching, but the audio quality is bad.

In my opinion, Direct primaries is the best mode that reflects the wishes of the electorate. There just need to be transparency in the process.

The President erred in delaying assent.

Its presently a distraction. Let it be remove ,so that there won't be any excuse to sign the electorial bill. They can battle the mode of primaries in another bill .

Senator Ajibola was a big disappointment..He seem to have forgotten that he was paid to represent his constituency.and Nigerians all together.His arrogance was really appalling.
I wish he will be rejected in the next election. He does not deserve to occupy that seat he is presently occupying . What a Shame .

Grayoso:
OP, you have your answer in the response above. Other Nigerians don't like Igbos and never will as long as the average Igbo has the mindset of the douchebag above.

Nigerians tolerate you but they don't like you because of your arrogance and insultive disrespect, based on nothing and totally unwarranted, towards them.

Even a spare part hustler in Ladipo, barely getting by, will be bragging Igbos "own" Lagos.

You are tolerantly supported and allowed to thrive in Lagos in the SW and far from your barren SE enclave. Yet how do you pay back your hosts? With enmity and demeaning insult.

Meanwhile , we don't hear ingrate noise from the more than 100 ethnic groups in Lagos to include successful ones like Edos etal.

Only Igbos will be insulting Yorubas that they" "own" Lagos and have turned Yorubas to slaves in their own land when those statements are ridiculous lies any sane person should be ashamed to tell.

You won't question your folks for having such a troublemaking and offensive mindset.

Instead you start threads like this where you pretend to be the victim of discrimination.

Your thread is mischievous and indicts you as insincere because, if honest to yourself, you should know the annoying behavior of your own people that makes them difficult to like let alone support to lead other Nigerians.

We all saw what you made of the Jonathan Presidency when he is actually Ijaw. You vindictively demanded everyone else, especially Yorubas and Fulanis, be excluded, marginalised, oppressed and punished. You demanded the Presidency be used as a tool to satisfy your lust for vengeance against others.

What will you then demand if an actual Igbo is President? How can Yorubas and Fulanis, for example, ever support an Igbo to be President when you have shown your hands of ethnic bigotry and hate to them uncountable times?

When it comes to the two ethnic group that throws jabs at one another online ,the Igbos and the Yorubas have thier own fair share of abusing one another. So ,dont start with only the Jabs that have be thrown against the Yorubas by the Igbos, without capturing some horrible jabs that have been thrown at the Igbo by the Yorubas.
Stop playing the victim here- as if both ethnic group have not be at each others throat since 2015. If you know you don't have the stomach for unecessary insult, then your guys must stop throwing insulting statement all over the place just to annoy the other ethnic group. Don't you know it pinches them as much as it does to you ?
So, when it comes to insulting one another online , both the Igbos and the Yorubas are guilty of horrible comments against the other ethnic group .
However, that are not the reasons why people are skeptical of the Igbo presidency.
I think some of them as as follows:
1) Pro-Divsion advocate: I feel other ethnic group don't believe the Igbos will unit Nigerians, becos they are Pro-dis-integration of the country ,which the elite from the north don't want to hear.They feel that through an Igbo presidency, Nigeria can easily divide .

(2) Lack of Unity : The Igbos are not united . They don't have that unity of purpose to support a choosen & credible candidate among them, without allowing thier Ego and pride to get in the way .E.g Atiku/Peter Obis' case .

3) Past Sins: They still have not been forgiven for the killings of thier leaders in the first Republic.( Though the north have done worse than the Igbos and they still get elected ,so what is thier own) The general north still hold majority of the vote and nobody would want to risk thier ticket with an ethnic group that is not in good terms with the north .
4) No national figure from the Igbo extraction had been tested and praised by his works. Just like Osibanjo from the S.W. He managed to showed his leadership skills with the little time he was given to lead the country. On the other hand , most of the Igbo leaders from both APC & PDP have been a big disappointment and leave less to he desired .
The only person from the SE I know is Peter Obi &Umahi from PDP . Obi, Who is known on a national level becos of the last presidential election as a VP to Atiku. Umahi on the other hand, is good but he is not known on a national level.
Aside from these two ,the rest contenders, especially from the APC party are nothing to right home about .They are a complete disaster just like our other politicians.

TheRealestGuy:
I ask this question cos it is bewildering and quite shocking to see the reactions of a lot of Nigerians whenever the question of an Igbo presidency is brought up.

Bear in mind that historically, Igbos have voted for a Yoruba man for presidency (Obasanjo in '99 & '03), an Ijaw man (GEJ in '11) as well as twice for core Fulani men (Yar'adua and Atiku). Therefore, any accusations of hate of other tribes by Igbos is laughable and obviously untrue.

Furthermore, Igbos can arguably be said to be the most integrated ethnic group in Nigeria since there's no LGA or Town in the country where you won't find a sizable number Igbo people most likely engaging in business, paying taxes and adding their quota to the economic and social development of the state.

Now I know the issue of the 1966 coup might come up but remember that this was a military affair which cannot be blamed on the average Igbo man and that the coup plotters weren't solely of Igbo origin. Also, those involved in the coup have written several books as to the reason why it was carried out (e.g. Why We Struck by Col. Ademoyega) hence, ruling out any idea that it was an ethnic cleansing.

Finally, it is on record that an Igbo officer was the one who foiled the coup and arrested the officers involved (even though he could have handled it much better by meting out justice asap). Also, if the 1966 coup were to be the reason for the irrational distrust, haven't Igbos paid the more than enough price for Nzeoguwo and Co's mistakes?

Last thing I can think of is that they are afraid that an Igbo president will push for referendum to be reinserted into the constitution. Question is how is that a negative thing? Remember that the right to self determination is something that every progressive country should have and in a democracy, all discussions no matter how sensitive must be allowed as that is how a democracy matures - it is tested continuously.

EDIT: Issues of being boastful and denigrating to other Nigerians in towns and cities where Igbos conduct their businesses have come up. While I agree that the average Igbo man's big ego is a weakness that can cause him to be disliked by others, I do not believe it is a cogent enough reason to perpetually refuse to give them a chance at steering the affairs of a country where they form one of the major ethnic groups.


So I'm asking directly - If you're one of those vehemently opposing the idea of an Igbo president, can you give a good/cogent reason for this decision?

I personally don't have anything against Igbo presidency.
However, I sometimes feel the ticket might be wasted, if given to a candidate from the SE.This is becos, the Igbos will never put thier individual egos' and self interest aside to support who ever emerges as the presidential candidate amongst them .

The Atiku/Obi case was an eye opener. While other ethnic group had accepted and endorsed Obi after he was handpicked by Atiku, the Igbo ethnic group were still scrupling among themselves as to why Obi was chosen over some them.

Other Ethnic group had to appeal for the SE to support thier own for the an Atiku/Obi ticket .

Beta than the lunatic Abaribe that collect constituent allowance for 20 years without a single project. I have no idea what your fools define as failure again.

May God give you the grace to witness good leadership, so that you won't settle for rubbish.

The paramount ruler is as helpless as you the youth. Channel your anger towards the right people, kill anybody you suspect to be Fulani whether herdsman or trader.

Teach them that nobody has the monopoly to violence or madness.
