You have Right to your opinion but I am doubt if you could even won your local government not alone the whole south east, anyway try your best

Your Grammar is very bad.




You need to work on it in 2022.

PaChukwudi44:
The yorubas don't even have up to 25% vote

This is unnecessary sir.

The topic is about Gov Dave Umahi running for the presidency.




Instead of your people to rally round a worthy candidate like this and project him to the Nation, you are fixated on bringing down Yoruba candidates.

TheRareGem1:
At last we have someone from the SE but I'm surprised SE people (Igbo) or their groups and elders are mute about this. Is it not to support your own, why is it that hard ?

They are fixated on Tilumbu

GoodHardDick:
Why the igbos seem like they adore atiku over tinubu is because atiku selected Peter obi to be his running mate (these made the igbos felt loved)

And of course Tinubu is another disaster waiting to happen in Nigeria. How do you expect a drug dealer to become your president? What exactly does he have to offer? Wasn't he among the core people who sold Buhari to Nigerian?

Bros, tell yourself the truth. Nigeria is dying and needs someone young and vibrant, someone filled with wisdom to rescue the country. Not someone like Tinubu at all. Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigeria. That man will suck Nigeria dry

Politics is all about interests.


You adore Atiku because he appears to protect your interests.

Then stop demonizing other Nigerians who think Tinubu will protect their interests.

KosiGee:
He did not mention Igbos!! Really ??
Tinubu messed up mister, he wanted people to have an open mind and he had to mention Evans of all people?

What will be will be…I wish him luck but stop turning this into an Igbo hates Yoruba nonsense: most of us here have Yorubas as great buddies and nothing will change that not even the toxic environment of Nairaland.

I reserve hate for evil and greedy individuals like Rochas, Uba family of Uga etc…

Bros, nobody is interested in all this long story, star projecting your preferred candidate.


It's a CONTEST and Tinubu has the right to contest.

DMerciful:
Awolowo, Abiola, Asiwaju....history repeating itself!

You can NOT stop people from contesting for the highest office in their country.


You can join the presidential race or start projecting your preferred candidate but you can NOT bully Tinubu out of the presidential race.

Maxymilliano:
Not in a poverty-stricken society like ours. Money will always determine our politics. They are aware of this and that is why they are not ready to reduce poverty in the land.

Everybody should reduce his/her own poverty.

madmohamed:
yes we are very worried because he promise buhari that he will wipe out Igbo if they don't abandoned Biafra agitation

Using igbo to play politics just to please his master's is unassembled

Where did you see Igbo and Biafra in this interview or Tinubu's interview?

cyril10:
Tinubu should rest already, Nigeria belong to all, it is not Tinubu personal property.

This is the beauty of democracy.

Nigeria belong to ALL, including citizen Tinubu.



We must let our democracy mature to a stage that ANY citizen irrespective of what the Cabal or the president want ,can run for presidential election.

udele1:
This is tinubu trying to turn the blame from fulani herdsmen to Igbo's. Saying Igbo's started kidnapping.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DTi1L6gxlk

Always try to say the truth and resiste the urge to tell lies in order to cast yourselves as victims.


Tinubu never mentioned Igbo in that video or said anyone started kidnapping .
He wanted people to have open minds and not just narrow the search for the assailants.

GoodHardDick:
OP, nobody hates tinubu
The thing is,, that man has absolutely nothing to offer Nigeria. He has no visions. He's a harden criminal who will get in there and suck Nigeria dry.

Tinubu is Buhari pro max. Nigeria needs young and vibrant young men with brains and not those old idiots

But Igbo adore Atiku who is older than Tinubu and corrupt.









Bros, nobody is a kid here.

Coldie:
I hated that civil war I swear. That was igbos biggest mistake it’s the only thing I wish I can erase from our history.


When I heAr some facts about it I begin to ask myself if Ojukwu was really a hero, I heard that sometimes in the war when there’s no weapons he would bundle hundreds of Igbo youths with cutlass and stick send them to the battle front to fight against an army with rifles and ak47 if that wasn’t enough when they started running out of matured soldiers they turned to kids as soldiers, he was loosing the war but refused to give up despite all advice, men who tried to go against him was executed, but instead kept sending people to their death until he ran away finally

The odds were against Biafra winning that war, he should have opted for dialogue to solve the impass.


To win in that war, Biafra needed to have advantages over the interest of Nigeria like greater financial resources, greater population, more advanced military Technology and more local & International allies.

There's nothing like Geo-political zones in the constition and aren't part of the criteria to win presidential elections.


Highest NUMBERS of votes cast and minimum of 25% spread accross 24 States are the criteria needed

DMerciful:
Then let zoning be killed, it's just pretense!

You can kill it sir

SarkinYarki:
I am a member of PDP

Then, how do you influence APC delegates in chosing their party's flag bearer?

RagaMufeen:
Magnus is only saying this because his arch enemy Amaechi is Tinubu's foe.

Politics is all about interests.


So many people here preaching hatred against Tinubu are doing so because they perceive him as a threat to the emergence of their preferred candidates or because he is not from their tribe.

SarkinYarki:
An example of the so called excellence below

All this will amount to nothing if you don't participate in the political processess.


Join the APC and influence who your delegate will vote for at the Primaries.

Jack005:
Yoruba's are truly funny people... After betraying our son GEJ, you want the south south to vote for you? Tinubu can never win the south south against Atiku.. I don't like Atiku that much, but Yorubas must present someone like osibanjo at least to have any chance of defeating a northerner..

Individual politicians present themselves to their parties for the party to pick them to flag the parties flags in the contest.

Yoruba aren't presenting anybody and please vote for whoever you like. This is the spirit of democracy sir.

basilo101:
SW is politically isolated in the south but they fail to see the damage they have done to themselves. Once the north turn their back on them they will be totally forsaken like orphans, at least SE can keep going with SS and NC, but tell me who can ally with SW if the north is not there for them? Another long journey to regional politics is in the offing

You need to have outgrown all these childish and petty tribalism by now.



Read the constition very well and see the criteria for winning the presidential election.


There's nothing like SW, NC, SS etc.

The party that receive the highest votes and 25% of the votes cast in 24 States will be declared winner.




Political parties contest for elections, mobilize voters to vote for them and have the mandates to rule. In reality ,political parties account for 70% of the success in an election.

DMerciful:
Don't be smart by half. You don't want Northerners to contest because you know their population would defeat your candidate yet telling Igbos this is democracy

Northerners are contesting sir.


In reality, you can only persuade people from other zones to support you but you can NOT ban them from contesting.


Ex- Gov of Kano State , the late Abubakar Rimi was running for the presidency in 1999 under the PDP but backed out of the Primaries when he realized the the majority of the party were in support of southern presidency.

In 2003, Rimi and Barnabas Gemade contested in the PDP primaries.

In 2007, Rochas Okorocha refused to listen to the Zoning directives of the party and he contested in the Primaries ,coming second.

Truthisunique3:
is osinbajo not in the race

Osinbajo has his own supporters too.

We need as many people as possible to join the race and allow the electorates to pick the best.

Nicenixon:
Fine, if there is mass protest not only on social media but also at his doorsteps, then he has no other option than to drop it but who we really want?

Going to someone's doorstep to protest in an attempts to force him to back out of the presidential race is unconstitutional and thus illegal.

The most appropriate thing is for the prostesters to pick one of them (e.g Mr Macaroni or DJ Switch of the End SARs fame) and support him/her to contest against Tinubu in the Primaries and/or general election.

Naijabad:
Any marriage between two people of the same tribe that fails will never survive if they are of different tribes. It is no brainer.

There is a place for relations, Umunna as igbos will put it, in settling marital problems.

Which umunna will go to FFK to settle their marital issues?

Bros, I am and advocate of people marrying from their tribe. It helps a lot.

I can assure you that most parent will definitely be against their daughters marrying from another tribe. There is a reason for that.
A greater percentage of women who married outside their tribe will never take that decision given a second chance.

I have interviewed a good number and I can assure you a lot of them see their marriage as a lifelong mistake.
God punish the woman if babies didn't come within the first 2 years of marriage.

If only you take time to study the
marriage institution deeply from sociological views, you will see that humans marry from different tribes from time immemorial and will continue to do so to ensure the evolution of human societies.


Over the course of time, new tribes/ethnic groups spring up from inter-cultural marriages.

The Mexicans, Domicans , Brazilians are predominantly descendants of inter-racial breedings by Caucasian whites Vs Native Americans Vs Black Africans.


Itsekiri arise from mixtures of Yoruba + Bini + few European sailors/Merchants.

mybiz234:
Ponmo boy, did you see my face on poster?

You seem unnecessarily rude.


The you in my statement didn't refer to YOU as a person but your candidate/camp/party.



Try to work on your wrong altitudes so you can be considered for elective posts in future.

Naijabad:
50% of marital problems is solved when you marry from your tribe and among your likes.

I have no pity for her and anyone who may suffer her fate in future.

Her parents may have warned her but she refused. as the saying goes, what an elder sees, a child will never
see, even if he climbs an iroko tree.

This is a big fallacy sir.


50% of all marital problems is solved if you can solve the problems of;

1) Sex and matters related to sex.

2) Money and what money can buy

3) Communications

IGOSLAPYOU:
You Afonjas hate Igbos why?

This is a big fallacy.


Do you know how many Afonja that have married Igbos or have Igbos as business partners?

Truthisunique3:
I keep saying osinbajo, adesina

I forgot it's not about alternative abi

It's about using our collective patrimony to "compensate" a drug Lord who have been trashed

Please vote for Atiku

Truthisunique3:
alternative we say yorubas we support una adesina na una say he is not a drug Baron like tilumbu

We say we fit manage una osinbajo na una say e no Sabi agbero lifestyle like tilumbu

We have always pointed refined persons from una side even when una say una no go ever see any good non Yoruba man

Is Adeshina in the presidential race?


How does support for a man sitting in his house translate into votes for him in an election?

Felabrity:
are you guys not ashamed?

Mention a single time your Tinubu voiced out during the killings in Yoruba lands.

Then vote for Atiku to end Fulani Herdsmen crisis.

IamRandy:
Let me clear you!


The ONLY CANDIDATE that's the talk of every mouth in the S-EAST is PETER OBI,,,Other candidates ARE NOT SUPPORTED because they have past records that are not in coherence with the PEOPLE.

Again, if PETER OBI comes up as VP again, write it down, NO IGBO MAN WILL VOTE HIM...When last did you leave your state and travel to other states to at least get a taste of how their people feel??

Don't stay in your region and be projecting what's not feasible...

Buhari came to power because SW massively supported him to SPIT on IGBOS,,,but how is it going today

Truth be told, TINUBU shouldn't be in the BALLOT BOX and if ever he comes up because of his GREED,,,if the SWEST means well, then HE SHOULD NEVER BE SUPPORTED!!!!!

Bros, elections are about realities and millions of voters will troop out to vote for whoever they like (not necessarily the ideal candidate).



Try to encourage Peter Obi to declare for the presidency and campaign vigorously for him.

slimghost:
If I see Osibanjo on the ballot box against Atiku, I will vote the fake pastor but you see this Tinubu project? Forget it! It is dead on arrival!
Man is worse than Buhari and we have had enough

Good.



However you need to know that there are over 25 million other Nigerians that will vote in the election and there will be many who will not share these your sentiments

slimghost:
You don’t know me, likewise I don’t know you. But don’t worry, when it’s time, Nigerians will speak loudly. Thank God for INEC’s VAS.

It's good to allow all citizens that are interested to declare their interests, contest for elections and allow the Nigerian people decide.

This is how democracy works.


Complaining everyday that a particular citizen wants to run for election and cursing people that support him look too crude and undemocratic.
