Good she went to the US before the drug lord will send his touts to poison the woman and the innocent children like they did to her husband.

Criminal Okpolo eye!

adekolaelect:
and S E will be a political slave to north and south west forever.

Goodluck with that!

Your gain, don’t you think?

Ovamboland:
You play crass politics of the stomach.

Your people don't even care about infrastructure that will serve the greater number of your people, it's just about appointment for a few, otherwise your folks who worked for Jonathan won't forget to complete 2nd Niger bridge.

Ohaneze clearly expressed their reason for backing Jonathan was because incumbents don't lose elections in Nigeria.

The dominant party in your region PDP had a rotation agreement but you betrayed them with your greed and untrustworthy behavior. You got your skewed number of appointments but destroyed the party in the process.

You just lied you don't believe in APC ideology but you're here demanding that APC flag must be given to an Ibo.

Can you produce evidence of Ohaneze making that statement either in print, audio or video?

Jimasun:
It was under PDP that SARS killed 100 people and dumped in the River in Anambra.
Many people were killed in Benue, Niger Delta and Plateau under PDP.

I asked you the reason for supporting a party for 16 years without any tangible thing to show for it?
Not just a party o, a party that earned the highest revenue in the history of Nigeria

SARS killed miscreants who terrorized Upper Iweka.

Niger Deltans were protesting against their perceived marginalization.

Your terrorist Fulani friends were responsible for Jos massacre.

How are these PDP’s fault?

And hey, what tangible thing do you have to show after 6 years of your sojourn with APC? Abi you want it to get to 16 years first?

Lumig:
LOL. Just to let you know that Igbos hatred towards other tribes is haunting you people politically and otherwise.
Try to enlighten your people how to speak and act LOVE towards other tribes otherwise you will just be like a lone ranger on the battle front.
You sound somehow polite and non-saucy, different from other Igbos I have met online that only know how to curse.
Kudos bro

The upcoming generation of Nigerians can rewrite the history of this country.

We can correct the ills that has been done.

We can stop inheriting hatred passed on from our forefathers and perpetuated by politicians for their selfish gains.

So, I don’t believe in insulting everyone that comes my way. Reasonable people don’t do that.

Light and love always!

I believe in Nigeria; built on equity and fairness!

Jimasun:
Politics of ideology where you aligned with a party for 16 years and the party left all the roads in SE in shambles?

Can you point to a worthy project PDP did for SE in the 16 years you were doing politics of ideology?
Or is it ideology of kari Ka chop?

No project supersedes life.

And under PDP our life was never threatened. Such rhetorics as “it is better to give your ancestral land than get slaughtered” was never in our lexicon.

And besides, unless you can point to any significant project PDP executed elsewhere and wasn’t replicated in the Southeast, then you have no argument.

With that said, PDP gave us SGF, COAS, and other reputable appointments. We felt we belonged.

PDP upgraded Enugu Airport to International status. Something Buhari has tried to kill with heavy taxation on Ethiopian airline that operates there.

PDP gave us the second Niger bridge and tried to dredge the river Niger so our goods can start coming direct to Onitsha. But Buhari has abandoned it.

We weren’t 5 percent to PDP nor are we just a mere “Dot in a Circle”.

And lastly, it is not always about us, the Igbos, but about the generality of the welfare of the Nigerian people.

I know you Yoruba would be comfortable as far as you are enjoying and the rest of the country is burning.

But we are not like that. Because the Igbo man is a business man and a traveler, he sees every part of Nigeria as his constituency and is always bothered if things aren’t right anywhere.

Ndigbo want Lagos-Ibadan Expressway completed more badly than even the Yoruba people want it. Because you might find it funny that the volume of Igbos using that road on a daily surpasses that of any other tribe.

Ndigbo want Abuja-Lokoja highway constructed even more than Kogi people want it.

Just like we want Abuja-Kaduna-Kano highway completed. Because these are our business routes.

Now let me ask you a question, does any Yoruba care if Enugu-Onitsha Expressway is constructed? What’s the volume of Youbas that ply that route in a month?

Abeg no make me talk plenty.

Lumig:
Speak for yourself ọga. Stop using "we", "we", when it's very clear that most Igbos are hatred personified.

I can comfortably use “we” because just like you seen through history, we are a homogeneous people with common interest which makes us tend to think alike.

That’s why it is usually very easy to predict what the Igbos will do because we move in unison and you know it.

oyatz:
The truth is that , it's very difficult to get power if you don't participate in the political processess.


Participation is key. Even if you don't win , you will be in a better capacity to negotiate for sharing proceeds from the power.


If Obasanjo and Falae didn't participate in the primaries but demanding that they should be given presidential ticket, no one would have taken them serious.


Consistently complaining about what you opponents/rivals will do and given these as excuses for non-participations show that you don't have confidence in yourself. In this case, nobody will lend their support to you.


You must sit for JAMB, before soliciting for people to help you pay tuition fees.

Obasanjo was in prison.

How did he participate from prison?

Power was handed to him on a platter.

The powerbrokers of the country sat and decided to compensate the Southwest for Abiola. And once that was agreed on, they went in search of a candidate they can trust. And that was how Obasanjo was released from prison to contest against Alex Ekwueme who founded the PDP and was the clear favorite to clinch the ticket.

Why can’t that be done for Ndigbo?

oyatz:
But you are scheming about how Atiku will succeed Buhari, do one term and hand over to Peter Obi.

We don’t care how man terms he does as far as Tinubu or any Yoruba doesn’t get in there.

OGHENAOGIE:
majority of u guys don't like osinbajo...

Our only issue with Osinbajo is that he’s positioning to become president which should be the exclusive preserve of the Ndigbo.

Other than that, we have nothing on him. Dude is a refined and cosmopolitan gentleman who has expressed any of such vile exhibited by Tinubu and co.

Ovamboland:
Nobody from SE will ever rule Nigeria with this mindset. You will be in a very bad place if SW person becomes president

Same way your elite sheepishly supported Jonathan because of the false belief that incumbents don't lose elections in Nigeria, rather than position a SE person by cooperating with your northern allies and follow agreements.

You're again on the threshold of another foolish belief that southern politicians can't defeat any northern candidate despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary in the last 30 years.

They even naively believe Jonathan a SS president will hand over to a SE president in Nigeria of today. Thats the signal their northern allies need to show theyre not trustworthy

I forsee long term gnashing of teeth from the SE.

We play politics of ideology.

In 2015, nothing stopped us from jumping on the APC bandwagon but the ideology of the drivers of the party didn’t align with ours and that’s why we didn’t.

It is not because we believed an incumbent can never lose.

We have never liked Buhari even when he contested twice with Igbo vices.

We are a people that is consistent with our thinking and ideology. We don’t play politics of convenience.

So all those things you said up there have no bearing to why we stuck with PDP.

No experience in the media.

Let’s hope he succeeds.

I would always prefer Fayose’s former spokesman. That guy get razor for mouth.

Modified:

I just listened to this man on Channels TV and I must say I’m not convinced of his ability to be the opposition mouthpiece.

He was incoherent and inarticulate.

I’m just wondering why PDP would choose this kind of man amidst more vibrant people in Southwest.

Tonyebarcanista, this was wrong.

Las las na Senate or House of Rep dem go take settle am.

Or even Commissioner for Women affairs.

Jashub:
None will win because both are Christians who don't have favor with the northern elites. What may tip the scales in their favor would be a northern vice-president that can control them

Are you sure you ok?

OGHENAOGIE:
you love PDP simple if these names move to APC Toda you will hate them... Many of you here nickname okorocha okorohausa so make Ina go fight for ticket for PDP APC ticket is for osinbajo...

Is Fashola in PDP?

We don’t hate Osinbajo.

Or is he in PDP?

DOTian:
I noticed that a deluge of Tinubus Internet Urchins (TIU) are on overdrive on this thread as they desperately try to confront any pro Igbo post. Ignore them! Their day of reckoning is around the corner. Buhari will maim them. Let's see how he chooses his successor. Lots of them will be jerked back to reality the day Buhari announces another fulani as his preferred successor.. They're hoping they will get the presidency. The Afonjas only want a Nigeria where they perennially dominate with the fulani. They're NEVER interested in an equitable Nigeria. They only riot and complain when they fell shortchanged by their fulani uncles. It's the duty of the Igbos to change this evil political arrangement! The minorities are disorganized and fragmented to put up a solid challenge. It's the Igbo man's duty to force this two to either accept a Nigeria that works for everyone or dessolve this murderous contraption. One of this will happen sooner than expected..

But you got it wrong with Fashola. Fashola is a chronic igbo hater just that our people seldom pay attention to his shenanigans. From enjoining folks to go back to their "villages" through his dumping of destitutes at upper iweka , to his outburst that "those who did not win the war should not be enjoying Nigeria more than those who won the war", Fashola has continuously exhhibited an enermous amount of disdain for the East. This has gone under the radar because our people have unconsciously and dangerously bought into the Lagos-Ibadam expressway section of the Nigerian press narrative that suggests that there's something called "Southern Nigeria". That thing doesn't exist. Tinubu and his minions use that mantra to get Southern votes and then revert to their fulani servitude once in power. Look at our federal roads under Fashola.. Give me an example of any federal road he has completed in the East as buharis minister..

You are right!

But about Fashola, when last did you use the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway?

The day Jonathan defects to APC is the day I will seize to accord him any form of regard.

I speak for myself, I don’t know about others.

And he shall lose if he dares contest under APC.

COWBOYFAN:
Oloriburuku. You can't eat where you didn't work. Eeboes keep demanding APC should give them right to be fielded as presidential candidate and at the same time threatening to vote "awusa fulani" nominated by PDP. The same "awusa fulani you claim to hate so much. You eeboes are so freaking stupid and scared to demand same presidential right from PDP.

Awon werey oloriburuku. Let me assure you that there will be no eboe president in your lifetime. You can take that to the bank. Koni dafun yin

Bunch of losers

Ndigbo are not the architect of your frustration.

So, learn to be calming down.

Olakunleyakub:
Even if Yoruba ceede the presidency to Southeast does that Stop you and your lots from your hatred and bitterness towards Yoruba that has accomodated your tribe more than any other people in Nigeria of today

We do not hate the Yoruba tribe. We only hate those who hate us.

We hate Tinubu not because he is Yoruba but because he has demonstrated his hatred for Ndigbo.

We voted for Obasanjo in 1999 and 2007. Or is Obasanjo a Nupe man?

The Igbos are one of the greatest supporters of Fashola even when Tinubu wanted to rubbish his integrity. We support Fashola because he’s detribalized and has no such hatred and vile against Igbos.

We are the greatest backbone of Ayo Fayose and Seyi Makinde. Or those niggurs Ibibio?

I just wanna let you know we don’t hate Yoruba nor any tribe. We only hate those who hate us!

KoshCAD:
He was never a war criminal but a pacifier. He only gave his opinion on order for the war to stop which everyone can do as well.

It is left for the person advice to take it or leave it.

And before you start blaming, have you ever blamed ojukwu for diverting the food sent to civilians in order for him to feed his soldiers for them to continue fighting? Have you. Or do you think they just stopped supplying food.

Why did ojunot prepare enough food before the war?

Ojukwu should have prepared a three year supply of food?

Seriously?

Awolowo gave Gowon a venomous advise which Gowon took and blockaded food supply to Biafra.

Till eternity, the death of those innocent children will be on his head. And it is part of the curse that made him never taste the presidency he so much coveted and which made him slave for the north.

And like Awolowo, so shall be Tinubu.

Obamaofusa:
You are a barawo.
A few people who had money in the very few banks present then had withdrawn their money.Biafrans even looted the CBN in Benin.
Awolowo was very benevolent in giving out those palliatives.Igbos should be grateful to him.

You take somebody’s millions and hand him 20 bucks; and you call it palliatives?

It is no palliative but robbery.

Nigerialabalaba:
U still dey blame Yoruba for ibo political shenanigans and naivity.

Wen una dey support the IPOB terrorists wey dey behead innocent people and burn everywhere upandan una no sabi say d blood of dos innocent souls go fight una back.

If una serious, na PDP una get more chance to get d ticket but una dey too fixated on Tinubu and APC instead make una shogba e. Shiorr.

Before 1999 elections, OPC was terrorizing the Southwest and with some level of tacit support from locals.

Olu Falae and OBJ emerged as candidates of the two major political parties regardless of the activities of OPC.

Why are you choosing to be intelligent by half?

COWBOYFAN:
Concede it to you under what party exactly? PDP or APC?

Under your nose.

Nvula!

KoshCAD:
You are fighting me and still want me to give food to you and your kids, does that sound sensible to your brain?

So you admit that Awolowo was nothing but a war criminal, who spearheaded the starving of innocent children all in the service of his Fulani masters for a pot of porridge that eluded him till he drank rat poison and died a miserable death?

Same road that Tinubu is taking today that will lead nowhere but his doom.

TooNoisy:
There was a war between Nigeria and Biafra. People were killed on both sides. Civilians and military men alike. The Biafran Army attacked Nigeria through the Mid-West. They killed and raped women in the present day Edo and Delta State and even declared Mid-West a republic. The Biafran soldiers were only stopped at Ore as they continued their advance killing people along the way. Biafra lost the war - simple as that.

I have never heard you IPOB e-rats complain that Igbo soldiers truncated Nigeria's first republic. Young Igbo soldiers killed politicians and senior military officers from other regions but left Igbo politicians and officers untouched. How is that not ethnic cleansing. But when the Northerners retaliated the Igbo started crying. Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igbo man, unilaterally changed Nigeria from a Federation to a Unitary System of Government, giving absolute power to the center. How come you IPOB e-rats never talk about that.

The blackmail wouldn't work. Some of us know Nigeria's history.

Kaduna Nzeogwu, an Okpanam man from Delta led the coup that you are tagging Igbo coup.

But today when Igbos say Delta Igbos are part of mainstream Igbos, I’m sure you are one of those who call us attaché by force because of oil.

DOTian:
The body language of both the Northern and South Western political elite suggests that they want to be sharing the presidency between themselves. It's obvious that unless the general leadership of the political parties agree on jgbo presidency, the same way they agreed on Yoruba presidency in 1999, any Igbo venturing in to contest is on a wild goose chase.

Exactly!

We Igbos know that. And that’s why no Igbo man is interested in engaging in a wild goose chase.

Let PDP give an Igbo man its ticket and see Lagos-Ibadan expressway press and their Twitter minions going on overdrive to remind the north that voting an Igbo man is voting Nnamdi Kanu.

But we know them.

If in the spirit of United southern Nigerian, the Yoruba will not concede the presidency to the Igbos after OBJ’s 8 years as president and Osinbajo’s likely 8 years as vice, then the north can rule forever for all I care.

Zombies are going to be biggest fans of Osita Chidoka since he just pressed their mumu button.

I know Tinubu urchins want Igbos to demand PDP ticket so that if Igbo man gets the PDP ticket and Yoruba man gets APC ticket, they will go on overdrive with their propaganda and campaign of calumny on why no Igbo man should be trusted with power.

But fools don’t know we are always light years ahead of every of their schemings.

Ndi ala!

DubaiLandLord1:
You're not a good person

You no want make the developers sleep tonight

Make I quickly call Chinedu, he must not log in to Nairaland tonight, make him HBP no high after seeing this news

Why the BAT they strategies and consult, some haters' from a geopolitical region the BAT has never ruled are hating for no reason.

I wander how people go hate a Politician that has never rule their state or have anything to do with their geopolitical region.

Sometimes try and pretend you are reasonable and intelligent.

TooNoisy:
I have read numerous times here that Awolowo betrayed Ojukwu by not declaring Oduduwa Republic. The question I have asked and which any educated mind should ask is - could he really have declared an Oduduwa Republic?

Let us remind ourselves of the events shortly after independence. Awolowo was the leader of the opposition in Nigeria from 1960. The ruling government was an alliance between the NPC - led by Ahmadu Bello and the NCNC - led by Nnamdi Azikiwe. Awolowo was in opposition and swore never to work together with Ahmadu Bello. On the other hand, Nnamdi Azikwe was the darling/wife of the Northern led government.

Ahmadu Bello swore to work against Awolowo which led to Awolowo's Action Group losing the 1963 elections to Akintola's NNDP in the Western Region. Awolowo was later accused of treason and was imprisoned by Tafawa Balewa's government. Gowon released Awolowo in August 1966 during a period of high tensions especially between the Northern region and the Eastern region. Gowon's intention was for Awolowo to help mediate between him and Ojukwu as they both respected Awolowo greatly. Awolowo was way older than both Gowon and Ojukwu; infact he was friends with Ojukwu's father.

At the time Gowon was president, Ojukwu was governor of the Eastern region, Hassan Katsina was governor of Northern region and Adeyinka Adebayo was governor of Western region. So I ask - how could Awolowo, a civilian, who had no authority over any soldiers have declared war or any other republic. Infact he was not as popular in the West because of the disagreement with Akintola at the time and had just been released from prison. When people ask me - why didn't Awolowo declare Oduduwa republic? I answer, why didn't Azikiwe declare Biafra?

The answer is very simple. Awolowo could never have declared an Oduduwa republic because he was a civilian just like anybody else. Just like Azikiwe. At that time, the military was in charge and only they could make any declarations because they controlled the soldiers. So, I do want to ever read again that Awolowo should have declared any Yoruba republic, because he just couldn't. Hope I don't read that stupid betrayal statement again.

Does that also justify his advise to Gowon to use food blockade as weapon of war against Biafra? An act that led to the death of over 3 million Igbo children.

Does it also justify the fact that as finance minister, he spearheaded the giving of every Igbo man a paltry 20 pounds irrespective of how much you had in your account?

masterpiscles15:
PDP will disappoint him

Won’t be more than APC already did.

Segzy22:
Oga you were VP for good eight years, Nigeria was fixed then. You better stop this wining

Atiku spearheaded the privatization of telecommunications in Nigeria which has been the biggest success story in Nigeria since 1999 and it is the reason you data to type rubbish here.

Maggi cube was 4 for 5 naira just as everything else was cheap.

Today 5 naira has disappeared from Nigerian legal tender because it’s now useless.

What revolutionary thing has your Buhari and Osinbajo done since 2015?
