Even though they have excesses but I concur with ur line of tot. Those herders really came like tsunami down south. But MNK had anticipated ahead of time. Whosever said this guy has not helped Ndigbo is a joker. That's why Soludo had pressed d wrong button. Because a lot of anamberian in IPOB are still sympathetic to his course claiming they are coming from other states may be valid but will still not save the day until Kanu is released. Mbaka has said this severally, the symptom is sit at home but the disease is MNK.Release MNK and c sit at home. And who says if South east governor's present a common front they can't arm twist the PMB.

Only a fool without foresight will open his mouth and condemn Nnamdi Kanu.

If not for ESN, what is happening in Benue and Playeau would have been a child’s play as compared to what they would have done in SE.

aribisala0:
no quite parallel.
Igboho never advocated violence against Nigeria.
Igboho never advocate enmity or hatred against any other ethnic group.

You are still talking methodologies…

I asked what is the result the two men are seeking?

Just incase the earlier grammar was too big for your comprehension.

Meanwhile, while you are fixated on IPOB methodology, do not forget there was a time they carried mere flags but were massacred by state agents.

Everything and everyone in life has its elastic limit beyond which it can no longer go or it breaks.

Nigeria pushed IPOB to a breaking point

No other criminal will be worse than Uzodimma that Imo State was surrendered to.

aribisala0:
There is no connection between the two individuals in their approach or methodology

But their aim and agenda is the same Abi?

God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

God bless Omualabi Sunday Igboho.

These two great men are reasons why southern Nigeria is not a killing field as it is happening in Southern Kaduna, Benue and Plateau.

Imagine the southeast without ESN…

Choppers are already landing at Ebonyi Airport?

Meanwhile the only thing that has been landing at Osogbo Airport since billions were wasted there by AregbeRascal is tsetse fly

Truthisunique2:
Insensitive if you ask me

Govs wives just craving power now a days

Believe The Nation at your own peril.

Wait until a reputable news platform reports it.

Poor Russian Propaganda.

ThinkSmarter:
The stakeholders, the political gladiators, the traditional institution, the religious leaders, Notable Clans like the Ikwo, Ezza, Ehugbo, Mgbo and Edda

Fine.

Now, apart from Ezza people that is doing pass themselves, who else are the Izzi having any iota of problem with?

ThinkSmarter:
In as much as i support Izzi to succed Umahi on equity and fairness ground.
I don't like your unguirded utterances.
U should rather lobby than threaten powers that be.
What if an Izzi candidate fail to win the primary election in all or either of the two leading political parties?
What if PDP feds in an Izzi man and APC feds in an Ezza man, and the APC candidate being the Ezza man wins the main poll?
Never say never!

Who are the powers that be?

Naija people no know politics at all. Just pay betta money or contribute to d right person charity fund. And you fit get Obama, Queen Elizabeth and the pope live in your sitting room. Na just to locate who dey control diz people and then pay betta money. And in 5mins dem go work the runs to bring dem to your house. No mind Jagaban, him just dey spend dollar and pound for wetin don already pass am Waka go

Exactly!

But Tinubu urchins think it’s endorsement and they’ve been foaming over the mouth.

Donate to a charity course they are part of or most recently, donate to any organization that claims to be fighting climate change and you have them trooping to you.

OyigboUpdate:
This one is not Simeon Ekpa fraction of ESN but Chika Edoziem.
But when the Chika Edoziem fraction does the killing now they'll tell us to blame Simeon Ekpa fraction of ESN

Your intention and the intention of your paymasters is to turn Ndigbo against IPOB/ESN.

It is this reason that made them to unleash state agents to go on killing spree in the southeast.

But tell them this… that if they like, they should assassinate Bianca Ojukwu, Ndigbo will solidly continue to stand behind IPOB/ESN.

If not for ESN, what is happening in Southern Kaduna and Benue would have been a child’s play compared to what those uncircumcised vagabonds would have been doing in Igboland.

ESN made the entire East too hot for them and the security agents that were already stationed to aide the atrocities. Their activities put a sledgehammer on the wheels of their evil plan against Ndigbo and that’s why they’ve not been happy ever since. Hence the deployment of all kinds of propaganda against IPOB and ESN.

But we know these things, we see these things.

Whilst we admit that IPOB/ESN has its excesses, we prefer that our brothers are killing us than uncircumcised idiots who will kill us and possess our lands.

So go and tell your paymasters that there’s no road in the lane they are traveling and there will never be road there.

In the past few days, Tinubu has received the former UK Ambassador to Nigeria and the incumbent Ambassador of France to Nigeria, in a solidarity visit or for whatever reason.

While it’s likely that these visits may have been genuinely informed by the visitors believe in the Ideologies and capacity of their host, we equally know that even the white man has a price. Yes, they too can be bought.

Away from visit of foreigners, just yesterday, Asari Dokubo started bombarding Peter Obi with barrage of criticism trying to discredit his achievements as Anambra governor and all.

Whilst it’s possible that Asari Dokubo could have simply been making his comments strictly based on his own beliefs and convictions and direction he wants to see Nigeria go (which he obviously has the right to), we all know the character that is Asari Dokubo.

For a long time he has made anti-Igbo activities his calling. From launching the laughable Biafran Peoples’ Government (or whatever he called it) to going outright ballistic on Nnamdi Kanu.

Now, Asari Dokubo has taken it upon himself to start attacking the best of Igbo presidential aspirants. Or why is he not picking on Orji Uzor Kalu or Rochas Okorocha? Or does he mean to tell Nigerians that Rochas and OUK performed better than Peter Obi?

So, attacking Peter Obi and endorsing Tinubu simply betrays the obvious fact that Asari Dokubo is on an errand for Ahmed Tinubu.

The question now is, for how much? Dokubo was one of the greatest beneficiaries of the Goodluck Jonathan administration which had its greatest support base amongst the Igbos for which reason we have suffered grievously from the govt in power. But to pay back this kind gesture, Asari Dokubo feels he would collect money and sabotage Igbo interest.

But I trust my people. We will give him the usual treatment which is to ignore.

Peter Obi for president !!!

Kosiso12:
Vote for someone that change the ugly narrative of Ebonyi State.

What is ugly about Ebonyi State you ****

Since 1999 Ebonyi state has consistently been blessed with the best leadership from Egwu to Elechi and now Umahi.

And considerable peace has been enjoyed because each zone has got what is due them when it’s due them.

Stupid rhetorics will therefore not be tolerated now it’s the turn of Ebonyi north.

Meanwhile tell me your state and tell me how beautiful the narrative of your state is.

Onye ***

It’s time for Ebonyi north.

And specifically Izzi man.

Prof Odoh should fork out.

Road getting clearer for Peter Obi.

Staircase or no staircase, we like him like that.

His mission is to put pepper in Tinubu and his army of urchins and social irritants’ eyes, not to climb staircase.

In fact, he can even work from home.

Who staircase help ?

bonnyhope:
Your only problem is because he said he is nor ibo

Can anyone sell his identity because of political gain?

I don’t have a problem with him saying he’s not Igbo.

He’s at liberty to choose where he’s from.

What I’m saying is that he cannot expect to get the support of the tribe he has publicly disowned.

perambulator:
First of all if you cannot look at things without ethnic or party bias then this response is not for you. I am dealing with verifiable acts here not sentiment.

Secondly whatever i state below is based on the premise that the purpose of an election is to win..sentiments aside! everything stated below is verifiable fact not sentiment, where it is opinion I will say so..

With that in mind here goes:


Dont get carried away with dogma and hyperbole, Atiku did not pull any "master stroke" by Picking Obi, if anything the figures suggest picking Obi was his downfall in 2019. He lost!!! so what was the masterstroke? You talk about strong showing but the gap between Buhari and Atiku in 2019 when it was harder to rig was larger than the gap between Buhari and GEJ in 2015 when GEJ was in power and easier to rig? A man lost and you describe it as a masterstroke, what will you describe a victory? In any event stated below are my reasons.

1) In 2015, GEJ got more votes in Anambra and the SE than Obi delivered for Atiku in 2019. He did not add any new votes from the SE..if anything the numbers show that rather than being a master stroke, he was a liability. I will post the links to the figures from 2015 and 2019 but you can also google it. This is not opinion, This is fact.....Figures dont lie!

2) The SE is not just predominantly PDP it is anti-APC, so if they are not on the ticket they have no other option but to vote PDP...it is a very important point you need to understand!!! Whatever happens they wont vote APC. If the SE will never vote for APC and giving them a slot does not add votes, then Atiku would have been better served giving his VP ticket to a person from a zone that could earn him new votes or convert votes from a different zone.

3. if you already have maximum votes in a zone or zones and that zone is a stronghold, i.e the votes are safe, you gain nothing by giving the VP slot to that zone because you have already maxed out the available votes from that zone, the marginal potential additional gain is not worth trading a valuable leverage such as the VP slot that you could have given to a different zone to gain votes from opposition territory. Let me illustrate: the number of votes from the whole of the SE was 1.7m of which Atiku/obi got 80%. Even if he managed to get 100% i.e an additional 340k votes, he would have made no difference to the GAP of more than 2m votes. therefore it was a pointless exercise from the get go. Please also understand the value of gaining votes from opposition territory is a double effect, every vote you gain from an opposition party is actually 2 votes because you reduce the opposition figure figure by 1 and you add 1 to your total. This is why the SW was so pivotal despite not having that huge a population, because they took away all the votes from Jonathan in 2015 (1st setback) and added it to Buhari (second setback)! Anybody who does not understand that elections are won especially by opposition parties by encroaching into opposition territory not by solidifying your base. If there are 11 votes and you are leading me by 7 to 4, I dont need 3 votes to win, if I convert 2 of your supporters i have won, so my focus if I want to win an election is to target 2 of your 7 voters not rewarding my 4 voters that cant get me any additional votes...simple!!!!

4. if you check the history of Nigerian elections from the 1950s to date, the SE and the SS always vote one way come what may, therefore their votes are safe, whether they are on the ticket or not. The regions whose voters can be persuaded one way or another are surprisingly the North and the SW...they are the ones who change parties especially post 1999. They are the Kingmakers, they are the ones who needed to be on the slot if you wanted to unseat Buhari and thought about it properly. The SW in particular is the reason Buhari won in 2015 and that was the zone to have targeted because there was a lot of disaffection with Buhari in the SW prior to 2019. If you look at the results from 2019 in lagos and Oyo state in particular, you will see the potential was there to take back the SW but the candidate was wrong. It was a missed opportunity for PDP and Atiku because the SW wont be as vulnerable to PDP as they were in 2015 if Tinubu is on the ticket.

5 This final point is a personal opinion not fact. There are many sections of Nigeria especially the North that will not vote a person from the SE whether as President or VP because of IPOB, hate speeches from the SE etc. Therefore if you select a SE candidate it has to be 1) one who can gain you massive additional votes in the SE (which Obi did not do) 2) a SE candidate who has national appeal and is seen as a "Nigerian" e.g Orji Kalu not an "Ibo man" like Peter Obi who like I said is not really sellable outside the SE.

Elections are very simple, it about figures, you are counting people, the umpire will count your supporters and your opponent's, whomsoever has the most wins..it really is a s simple as that....INEC does not care where the people come from!!!! So if you want to win an election, you go where the numbers are not where the sentiments are. You approach an election with sense not sentiment. You entice the people with numbers not the core supporters who already support you, the core supporters who already support you will support you whether they are on the ticket or not. if you do not understand this you are not ready to win an election.

Thank you for this intelligent response and best believe that you are relating with a rational brain that uses his brain more than he uses his emotions.

To your submission, what you said about encroaching in the opposition base is appealing but yet dangerous.

Had Atiku picked a Southwesterner in 2019 like you are suggesting, there’s no guarantee that the SE and SS would have voted overwhelmingly for PDP like they did. The offer of Presidency to the SE by the APC would have appealed more or more people would have stayed home.

You don’t take your stronghold for granted in a bid to encroach into opposition territory. You could end up losing both.

Again, I do not think that there would have been any major change in the voting demo-graph of the Southwest had Atiku picked his running mate from there. Are you telling me Southwest would have given him the remaining 2million votes that he needed to win?

What happened in 2019 was a clear case of govt in power using power to pervert the will of the people. Add that to the clear sabotage of SE PDP stakeholders who protested against picking of Obi as Atiku’s running mate.

Votes were deliberately suppressed in the Southeast while they were swelled up in the north.

You have said you are being practical… now, in your practicality, does it make sense to you that war-torn Yobe and Borno recorded more voter turnout than Lagos? Is it not a clear case of electoral fraud?

So, while you are calculating the result of the election as declared, also put into consideration other circumstances that impeded the victory of PDP. And I’m sure you wouldn’t argue that such things didn’t not occur.

Prepare to have a man with an Igbo name as either your president or Vice President as from 29th of May 2023.

You can take this to the bank.

Frigga13:
Are you well so..

So if Pdp present a Northerner

NC SS SE will now vote a southerner ..

Yoruba analysts

But Pdp presented a southern in 2015

Yoruba and NC voted the North

This Yoruba people and their own kind of sense

One thing I’ve found out about those people is that they like to lie to themselves a lot.

Fahdiga:
They have seen the handwriting on the wall. The powers that be shunned him on his 70 birthday celebration. His Yoruba kinsmen has roundly rejected him having remembered how he abandoned them when terrorist Fulanis were killing them in Yoruba land but Tinubu was busy defending the Fulanis by asking where are the cows? Is Evans a herdsman? Even El Rufai that he went to bribe with fifty million naira told him that he is aware of his aspiration but............. The truth is that Tinubu's inordinate ambition is dead on arrival and no amount of noise by his urchins can resurrect it.

QED

Temitope Babs is a fool

Osinbajo lapdog

Blame Osinbajo that stepped down procurement of security equipments that would have secured those lives that were lost in that attack.

Ndi ala!

Vote Tinubu to end terrorism in your region

Vote Peter Obi to end Skull Mining in your region

walefresh3:
Are u done reading your fake report written by nyamiri ?
Mumu plenty for nairaland.... No source at all

Of course, it’s fake news since it’s not bad news.

I’m sure you wouldn’t have tagged it fake news if it was talking about IPOB ‘eating’ people.

You must be pained that your “southeast is a barren land” propaganda is falling like a pack of cards in your very eyes.

Who God has blessed, no man can curse.

Igbos are too blessed to be cursed!

Shalom!

Frigga13:
Okowa has successfully replaced Wike in the south

Who will trust Wike with power even if Na dash

He will learn by 2027

When next he hears yorub hype .. he go dodge with musCle

Those humans sabi end careers

Akpabio just off from the ladder..

The Amaech the hyped to high heavens as Vice President to former jigawa state Governor is now worst enemy..
and they’ve been doing all to discredit him this few weeks and render him the Akpabio treatment

That one still dey fight for survival


Make Yoruba support you and see you relegating

Lol!

I was asking one Tinubu supporter to telling me one region that Wike can win asides SS (tentative even) and he couldn’t.

Wike might be popular within PDP stakeholders but he’s a political baggage among the generality of the electorates.

I’ve continued to say it that Wike’s political career died the day he said he’s not Igbo.

Prior to that infamous statement, Igbos formed bulk of his greatest supporters.

But right now, Wike can’t get even 10% votes in SE nor in SW.

The north is a no go area for him.

He thinks everything is by thuggery.

Fool he is, sense he has not.

He wants to be Vice to a northerner.

But that’s dead on arrival

SlyDev:
The guy look like police, good job IPOB, don't allow DSS to enter us. The guy is igbo Buhari will feel it in Aso Rock while drinking kunu.

Poor attempt at sarcasm.

You should just concentrate on defending Tinubu’s leaky urethra and don’t be putting your mouth on other things.

Poiu11:
West Central And Mid West Have Not Produce The President Of federal republic

And so has Southeast not.

It’s the turn of South now and precisely Southeast.

When it’s turn of north again, West Central and East Middle of north can throw up this agitation and demand for the presidency.

Thank you
