Vertraulichkeit:
You and your likes don't get it. Igbos don't play politics of tribalism like other tribes, especially the South Westerns do. And the Igbos request for power isn't based on tribalism but natural justice. The natural justice in this regard is expected to be granted by other zones before the primary election proper, which didn't happen, and that is why the aspirants from the zone did not get good or block votes from the delegates. There is no need to waste a vote that cannot guarantee a winning when it can be used to support a winner or someone with more potential of winning.

The earlier you all accept that the Igbos are politically victimized for obvious reasons the better.

And yes, power is given and not taken in a clime like Nigeria which is the reason why the Northerns in APC have given the Southerns the opportunity.

Before you say that Igbos are emotional, remember that no Igbo man has exhibited the kind of emotion BAT exhibited at Ogun State, and rightly so, when he felt he was being denied his right.

Until the majority of the Nigerian power brokers decide to cede power to the Igbos, they won't get it no matter how hard the politicians try. In summary, the inability of the Igbos to clinch federal power has nothing to do with them being ignorant about how to play good politics.

I, OUK, and everyone in our camp saw it all before the primary election proper, which is the reason we took the stand we took, and we have no regrets.

That's not true.. If only the Igbos can stop their politics of hate, they can definitely clinch power.
Go to Facebook and Twitter and see your brothers and sisters insulting everybody that supports another candidate..
You'd be forced to say, how will insulting someone make them see things from your point of view? The way they insult people will even make some people vote for someone they know fully well is not competent just to spite them.

No matter how bad Atiku and Tinubu (and even Buhari) is, you guys must understand that some people won't see them as bad people..
Kanu Nwakwo will never see Tinubu as a bad person cos when he wanted donations for his heart foundation, Tinubu (along with 3 other governors) were the only Governors that donated.
But I know, Kanu will be an outcast to the Igbos if he ever tweet something good about Tinubu.
How do you expect other tribes to see you?

When APC was formed, Tinubu and the Yorubas was one of the most useful Southern instruments that put them in power. The Igbos called the APC a Fulani party and voted against it. The few Igbo politicians that entered APC were seen as the devils by the rest of their people. They gave the APC only 5% of their votes.. So do you now expect the APC, to sideline the Yorubas that voted them and give their Ticket to David Umahi just cos they want to be fare to the Igbos? Wouldn't that be injustice to the Yorubas? Wouldn't that be a case of monkey dey work, baboon dey chop?


You guys should learn to shun bitter politics.

OfoIgbo:
Igbos have been wasting votes on idiots who don't repay since 1999.

This time around, we will be wasting our votes on our own brother. That will reduce our regrets.

Followed by the fact that he is the only major Christian candidate in the coming election

But how come you guys didn't waste your votes on Ojukwu when he contested for Presidential election?

stopthecycle:
Best analysis I've seen so far

Truly the best so far.

kettykings:
What an achievement, what do you now expect from governors who turned largely rural towns into metropolitan cities, created aviation hubs , floated airlines , turned their citizens into super enterprenuers. As I always said previously , no big deal increasing the taxes of existing business who don't have alternatives to relocate because of the lopsided federal structure. Creating low skilled extortionist jobs like Lastma, Lawma and the predatory KIA now called LSBNC and the parasitic NURTW living off motorists and commercial drivers.

You can say anything so you can sleep at night..

So what did Peter Obi do that Tinubu didn't do?
From their time as Governors what achievement does PO have over Tinubu?

abobote:
With the number of northern delegates, how many vote did northern aspirants get ?

The Noth are not the one crying that Presidency have never reached the region.. It is the SE.. But when it reach time to vote, their SE delegates couldn't even vote for their SE aspirants..

kettykings:
What if I am igbo , Lagos gas been existing as the properous capital for years and can not be claimed to be developed by tinubu

It has been existing as a prosperous capital with only N600 million IGR until Jagaban made it N45 billion in just 8 years.
If that is not enough for you, then nothing else is..

They said it with their full chest that Tinubu will be disgraced from APC to SDP. The news haven't been flying since yesterday. What happened?

Sometimes you'd have to bend down to the lowest of lows to pick up power for yourself.

MangekyoAlt:
Seems I underestimated this Tinubu.
The way he dealt with the likes of Adamu, it just flashed through my mind now that if Tinubu becomes president, fulani terrorists may become calmer than they were before 2015.
That said, he's not to be trusted.

Fake Uchiha.. Even with your Mangekyo sharingan you still couldn't see Tinubu winning the APC primaries..
People like you wouldn't know what to do if you are given plenty egusi soup and small eba.

Itachi would be disappointed at you.

By 2031, this nincompoop will have the right to say, I put Tinubu there.. It is my turn"

Education.

Wow.. Here's a thread that 99% of Anambrians didn't speak anything good about him. And this was in 2012 when he was still Governor.

Imagine US with all their CCTVs and well equipped police and laws finding it hard to stop gun related crimes.
A place like the US would have caught those people that massacred people in the church in Owo cos they are systems in place for such occurrence. But here in Nigeria, with no CCTV such things can be happening everyday and the police will have no idea on who the culprits are.

For those saying that criminals will think twice before attacking you if they know you have a gun.. Imagine if you're are criminal yourself and you know your neighbor have a gun and you want to rob or kill him, what are the chances that you won't succeed if you use the element of surprise??
Imagine you robbing your next door neighbor right now and he doesn't have the faintest idea of what you want to do. Even with his gun, you still have the upper hand..

mrvitalis:
Ok your point ?
Don't agree to zoning in the south and watch north rule for 200 years Igbos would make sure of that

My point is visible to any thinking person.

How will me agreeing to zoning to the South change anything?

Ratuk:
No no... This you've not seen. When he came to Anambra, there was nothing there, nothing. By the time he was leaving, there were many things, a whole lot. What's the old man's plan? The other one nko?

This man has a good history, foreign investors will come in with confidence, Nigeria has a better chance with him. For one he made his money before politics, how many politicians can say the same?

Even Tinubu can say the same.

This is nothing but stingyness abeg. Nothing humble about it. Very soon, they will say Obi washing his clothes himself is humility. That's hardcore stinginess

mrvitalis:
South is not divided just greedy ...a simple zoning agreement can't even be respected and you want to blame the north ?

Yorubas and south south are to be blamed

If southern governors had insisted that it's the turn of south east who born north

Atiku even offered to step down if it was zoned to south east but wike said no ...stop blaming north

Blame south south and south west politicians

This is one problem I have with the Igbos. The fact that they never agree to a fault.. To them, out of the over 250 tribes in Nigeria, they are the only ones not at fault..

They forget it was one of them who stopped Awolowo's mandate to insert a secession clause in the constitution. They forget they were the first ethnic group to cause a coup. They forget they were the first people to wage war on an ethnic group and forced them back into one Nigeria. They forget that in the history of the country's election, they are the only none Northerners that have supported the North more times than others.

They are the good people in the story and everyone else is the bad person.

Yoruba people will say " Te shi ma daninu, a ma n tun gun ni"

No too feel bad Op... Life continua

You suppose translate the Yoruba to English na.

Aderewah:
Phone engineer. Know how to repair phones. 100m phones in southern Nigeria at least. Imagine the statistics of spoilt phone daily. Your Okada competition are illiterates from Niger republic. Anybody can ride a bike. Not everyone can repair an iPhone 11 Pro. Soon you can start selling phones too then laptops and have a big gadget stores. Many people ride okada for years with nothing to show. Think about the stress. 400 kilometers for 100 naira. You’ll do it 100 times before you make 10k. And you’ll buy fuel. You can make 10k on just one repair. Wise up.

Do you know what 400 km is?

The distance between Lagos to Abuja is just a little above 500 km o. Small small with your exaggeration biko

Seun:
Citizens can cope with adversity if they can see that their leaders are doing their best to deal with the situation and they are kept informed. Some of the greatest presidents of history achieved their popularity during times of war. Look at Zelenskyy. His approval rating is so high despite the fact that people are dying everyday because Ukrainians can see that he's doing everything that can be done. The reason GEJ was kicked out in 2015 is that he didn't really seem to care about Boko Haram. He didn't demonstrate that he was determined to defeat them. America refused to sell us weapons over human rights violations and instead of complying with their demands, he was making excuses.

Look at Soludo. He is doing everything possible to tackle the unknown gunmen. He went to Abuja to meet Kanu just for the sake of peace.

You think if what happened in Owo happened straight 3 days, any President won't feel the heat?

What is happening in Ukraine is a different thing entirely. It is an external aggression from a superpower.. What is happening in Nigeria is an internal aggression.. And many people won't be able to take it.

I wonder why some people are still wanting to be President of this country.. If I was an aspirant, I would have withdrawn from the race yesterday after what happened in Owo. I nor fit.

No matter the person that becomes the President, he won't be able to do anything significant in at least 3 months. And that 3 months is enough for everyone to judge you as a failure.
Imagine in your first one week as President there's 5 different attack like the one in Owo in 5 different states. How would you be able to explain to the people that you just got to office that you're not fully settled to really do your work..

You will flop big time.. I just pity someone like Peter Obi that doesn't have that much dent in his image. Nigeria Presidency will turn him to a big flop.. You think he'll be able to do anything meaningful in his first one year?

It's now 5-0

I wonder how people will be taking to heart what people that don't feed them, house them, pay their bills etc say to them.. Especially on social media..

Ofunaofu:
1.First and foremost, while the north is considered the largest in terms of voting strength, we don't need to only focus on the north alone, every region is very important in the scheme of things as we March towards the general election.
The labour party should give priority to every region. e get why

2. The labour party needs to shop for a core Northerner most especially from the north west to pair with Peter Obi as it's vice Presidential candidate.

3. The party should have a presence in every ward not just in the north but the whole Nigeria

4. Engage in aggressive membership drive across all the wards, local government areas and States of the federation
Get the Nigeria workers involved, NLC, TUC etc if need be

5. Have candidates for every elective Post during this general election

6. Engage in massive radio and TV jingles most especially in local languages about the manifestos of the party and it's candidate for various elective Post, send SMS using the various phone line networks

7.Build bridges and form alliance across the six geopolitical zones and other less popular political parties

8. Reach out to other aggrieved members of other political parties, make concessions if need be.

9. While we agree that there is no polling unit on social Media, the role of social Media can not be underestimated in the fourth coming general election. The social Media should be aggressively use to inform the public about the party manifestos and the capacity of its candidates to deliver on yearnings of the populace.

10. Get the celebrities/youths in the north, south, east and west involved and encourage them to get their PVC.

All Obi rivals in the North need do is to show the illiterate Northerners images of the Mosque been destroyed in the East and tell the Northerners that Peter Obi will destroy all the Mosque if he becomes President..

The insult Nnamdi Kanu has insulted the North and the SW is enough to smear PO chances of winning those regions.

Avenger Infinity War, Avenger End game, Ready Player One

Tinubu will win the primaries.. Everything happening is just the power that be looking for our mouth

Sacrifice for the Lagos of our dream.

SenatePresdo:
I'm Pro Russia, but Russia is performing Below what people expects of them.

After 100 days fight with Ukraine, they are only able to control 20 percent?

That's underperformance.

That 20% is bigger than Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg combined. Ukraine is a very big country.
Lagos state is less than 20% of Nigeria, but it is bigger than the whole of Dubai.

So people still dey crack joke for this country?
I thought we all agreed on no smiling till Bubu is gone

Sometimes, we should not be stingy with our money to pay lawyers. Sue his sorry ass..
