ChristianNorth:

Right now, presidency is not in our action plan. We know what we want and we are getting it.

Yes I know. I'm just telling that deluded wawa fool that thinks igbos want presidency. How dare igbo slaves want to be president over their masters?

Kahujadekadura:
. He betrayed u becos of dat. We can't love a party dat killed most of our brothers.

You still love PDP after drowning many massob members. Your hate for APC has been there before it came to power so spare us the bullcrap!

Obi killed many massob memebers yet you voted him to be VP. No one takes igboman serious. Your hatred is inborn.

RTSC:

If you really believed this, you wouldn't spend time writing nonsense.

There are prominent igbos in every divide. We have people everywhere.

If you think they can't win, then you must be very optimistic.

The next southern presidential candidate of the pdp is going to be igbo.
And there is also a high chance the apc is going to choose an igbo as its presidential candidate.

Anybody that runs on those platform is the next president.

Igbos already have the south in the kitty. Running against a Yoruba candidate is a piece of cake.

We will fight for the votes in the north and then clear the south with a high margin.

You claim igbos don't build alliance, but you forget the vast majority of pdp members are northerners.
We have built our alliance in the PdP. Those northerners will support us when the time comes.

We certainly will never build an alliance with the snakes in the south west.

In fact, in case you don't know, the average northerner trusts an igbo far ahead of a Yoruba.
Your deceitfulness stinks to high heaven.

And with buhari out of the way, you will know how pathetic your situation currently is.

Igbos do not want presidency. They will rather support a northerner. Ask christiannorth

izombie:
if you think that in nigeria of today that the north will vote a yoruba candidate over their own then you are the one who doesn't know or understand the north.

I can see you are in the head of northerners.

RTSC:

Unless you think a Yoruba candidate will clear the North like buhari did, then you are the idiot.

The south will not vote for a Yoruba. And a Yoruba cannot clear the North.

You are fuccked.

Who made you ibo nonenetities the mouthpiece of the south? Why are you pigs so daft? You can't even speak for your family and you want to speak for the south and north?

BuhariIsBURIED:

You must be very selfish and inconsiderate to think that the old gworo chewing brown teeth & big head Tinubu will rule Nigeria after the Yorubas have done cool 8yrs under OBJ regime, are u the only tribe in Nigeria?. No sensible Northerner, South South or South Easterner will vote the slow brown teeth Tinubu.. Rubb1sh

Yaradua and buhari are from the same region. No one shouted greed. If igbos are worthless and can not compete politicallly, it's not Yoruba's fault.

brightokechukwu:

Trust me the North will fu.ckk you guys over, the abiola and Tofa thing happened when Nigeria was trying to amend its fractured democracy, then the country wasn't as tribal and polarized as it now. The North will NEVER vote any SW candidate, mark my words down. And how's the East the bit.ch to everyone? We're not not power hungry deviants that will kiss the a.s.s of one man just for political survival like we see the SW do for Tinubu. Godfatherism/slaving to one man is a dead on arrival concept in the SE political sphere

The east is not desperate yet killed political leaders from other tribes to be relevant. You are not licking ass yet you abandoned your biafra to lick atiku's ass. People always laugh at ibos for their delusion. Keep giving yourself undue self worth. Nigerians know you guys are hopeless and worthless.

Atiku was campaigned against in the mosques in the north for using an igbo vp. They remembered the people how igbos killed their leaders.

ChristianNorth:
Yoruba moslems giving themselves false hope.

So the Caliphate will leave Tambuwal and support Tinubu abi? So the SE/SS will abandon PDP and vote for Tinubu abi?

So MB will leave a moderate and a pan-national Tambuwal and vote for a known thief abi.

Wake up, even Lagos will not give Tinubu over 60%. I don't want to call Osinbanjo because that one cannot win his polling unit.

A wawa pig who does not even know where he belongs among igbos think he can think for northerners. Why not fight for your wawa people who are seen as inferior igbos before dabbling into matter beyond your mental capacity.

Masterppower:


Count South East and South South out of your deranged and useless thoughts.

2023 is payback time to the Yorubas for their betrayals.

Did you see SE and SS in his post? Why are yo so paranoid? Don't hang yourself because of Yoruba matter. We are not the source of your tribe's uselessness.

Onijagidijagan:

Is not Tambuwal that only won with 341 votes? Una don abandoned Atiefku, Kwankwaso or kwankwasuya.

These easterners are just too funny.. We South South will not align with Igbos on this one.

TAMBUWA will defects to APC

Stop feeding the trolls. Let them keep opening these threads and let's keep ignoring them. They will die a natural death.

It's just a way to ease their pain of election loss.

IbrahimDamola:


My dear ewedu Muslim brother, forgerrit osibande 2023... Me and your sabi say e no fit happen.

My dear wawa pig. Face your gala and leave politics to First class citizens.

Joromi12:
Saraki is not a real northerner. he is yoruba and an infidel. no core north go vote am

But he will defeat any northerner in a PDP Primary.

Binikingdowm:
and an average northerner prefer musa from kano to yemi from Ogun state

The way They preferred Abiola to Tofa, Obj to Buhari, Gej to Atiku. You igbos project your bigotry on others. You will be surprised how Osinbajo will defeat Kwankwaso in Kano.

Gej defeated atiku in Adamawa in 2011 PDP presidential primary. Children everywhere. I know this is to console yourself until 2023 so I don't begrudge you.

Binikingdowm:
the highest office someone from north central can get is Senate President. Saraki that can't even win his senate seat? You people are just plain stupid

According to You. Babangida, Gowon and Abdulsalam are from the North Central. They have produced three heads of state.

Binikingdowm:
God punish you, tell me how bauchi is a Christian state

Animal! Go there and see for yourself. Dogara is a christian.

kayjay69:
Let's be clear on one thing, with the way Nigeria is currently arranged, the SS, SE (the better south as you put it, though I laugh) and NC do not have the numbers to call for and fully actualise the restructuring of Nigeria constitutionally speaking. In the event of this, the only other realistic option is War and I dont think anyone in their right minds would want for a war. I believe Wars should always be a last resort when every other means have failed. For a restructuring to be fully realised a 4th region is needed, the same one I hail from the SW. I say SW because it will be difficult to get the NE or NW to buy into restructuring Nigeria for a variety of reasons some of which I shall touch on later.

It is very easy to point fingers as we all do, Yoruba to Igbo to Hausa and vice versa, but the truth is if the Nigerian people really did understand restructuring and what it meant to them on a personal level, I am certain the average man on the streets will support it wholeheartedly. Nigeria is not working and Nigeria will not work as it is currently constituted, it is not a curse, it is the truth. I believe that the only real solution to our collective problems is to either restructure Nigeria to have strong regions and a weak centre or to split Nigeria along it's current geopolitical lines (or something close).

You make a valid point about the North's exploding population. It is something that everyone, themselves including, ought to be seriously alarmed at because we are seeing the result of that explosive population growth (from 1930 till present) coupled with a clueless and reckless northern leadership (pre and post independence). This is why poverty and illiteracy is rife in the Northern part of Nigeria compared to the South. I totally agree that it would not only be unfair but it would be unjust for Northern Nigeria (core North) to expect (as they are doing now) the whole country to shoulder the burden that they continue to create.

How do we achieve the above, I still think it comes back to and starts with Unity between the SS, SE, SW and some NC states. As much as you can choose to disagree, and you have every right to your point of view hear me out first, keep reading.
The Afonjas or the SW, my people, that you take pleasure in deriding (deservedly in some cases, unfair in others) are key to the restructuring of Nigeria as it is constituted.
Why do I say this? Because the NW and NE are reluctant and will fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo hence the SS, SE and NC are basically stuck with the SW for this to come to light. I know for certain the average Yoruba will buy into this if they fully understand what it means to their everyday lives but the key challenge here is the SW (Not just the SW, the whole of Nigeria) currently lacks the kind of leaders needed for that to happen. The current crop of SW politicians are beholden to whatever keeps them in power and this applies to all politicians really regardless of party affinity. Politicians are a lying, thieving bunch who will stop at nothing to remain in power.
The voices supporting restructuring are usually in the opposition and groups such as Afenifere and a few others usually come across as suspicious (cos they are funded by the opposition party not in power) and dont really have the platform that is needed to sell such an agenda to the people. Traditional Rulers? Forget those ones, same old story, they'll get in bed with whoever butters their bread. And no longer are there social justice warriors or movements concerned with the good of the collective. Hence, the reason why the average Yoruba is dormant pertaining to the issue of restructuring.

I can also state with facts (not here, perhaps at another time) that the issue of restructuring has been so politicized that it is difficult to really identify who cares and who doesn't care about restructuring. When one political party is in power, the other cries restructuring and vice versa it's been like this since 1999. But pay a close attention to voting patterns since 1999 and you will see that Yorubas are actually flexible in their voting which means unlike just about any other region in the country, they can be persuaded to see the light on a matter such as restructuring but then again leadership.

But then again, let me also add that I think (I could be wrong) the voices from the SS and SE clamouring for restructuring became loudest just around the time GEJ lost his reelection bid. I am not saying these voices were not there before now, I am saying the tone became deafening. Now does that look suspect, I guess so. Will these same voices go mute if say PDP were to take back power and not do a darn thing about restructuring, I guess so again. So again we are exactly where we were before with nothing being done. This is because the real opposition to restructuring Nigeria are OUR Political elite across BOTH mainstream political parties (PDP and APC) and they are all being manipulated by Core Northern Elements who are afraid of what may come should Nigeria be rearranged.

Now, it is easy to take the action of a handful of people and ascribe it to a general populace, I get that, it's called convenient assumption. So it's easy to say all Yorubas are Awolowo's people, betrayers, skull miners and all that, all Hausa people are Almanjiris, I get that I really do. But I think this is wrong and inaccurate. Not everyone fits into these broad categories above and this just continues to fit into the narrative that is used to divide the unity needed to achieve restructuring. And there are alot of people who are not Nairalanders or on Twitterverse and so on. I have travelled across Nigeria, 30 states across all of its regions, I have made friends with people across tribes and I can tell you confidently that there are beautiful people everywhere and there are useless people everywhere. Calling each other names and championing ethnic causes (this is not saying love another person at your expense) will only further divide us than unite us and if you really do desire restructuring above anything else, then you'll just have to block out the noise, resist the urge to do the convenient and focus on spreading the real message.


Blessings!

You are just preaching to a deaf audience. Igbos are not a reasonable people. Stop trying to reason with them.


Ask them how many igbo man has called for restructuring or Biafra in the legislative house. They will tell you the north will oppose it even when they have not tried. Let igbos raise the debate in the house if they truly want restructuring instead of pointing fingers. Restructuring debate can span two or three legislative eras, but it has to be started just like PIB. It has to be started before I can take them serious.

The truth is nobody wants restructuring in Nigeria, both northerners and southerners. But igbos in their characteristic manner like to blame others. Ekweremadu has been in the house since 1999. Let him raise the debate.

AnalQueenluci:
so that osinbanjo will pick elrufai yoruba n small sense

Don't bother what Yorubas do. If you zone it to the north. Saraki wins. He has money than any of those northerners and all Yoruba PDP delegates will vote for him. We actually have more delegates than SS and SE. If you zone it to the south. Osinbajo wins.

Binikingdowm:
federal, state powers and buhari support they are still losing.

Imagine a kafir, pastor for that matter contesting against rabiu musa kwakwanson. I laugh

But Bauchi is a christian state. Osu fool.

Bede2u:
lol...u dey follow pikin talk? They just dey pray make pdp no zone am to kwankwaso. I dey laugh yorubas now

How do you Zone something to an individual? Did you go to school at all?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
You must be a comedian to think PDP would give a Saraki ticket against Kwankwanso that single handedly installed his Son in law as Gov in Kano,Saraki that couldn't win any election in kwara for PDP

They don't "give". You contest for it. PDP ticket is cash and carry. How did Atiku defeat them all? PDP would have preferred Tambuwal or Kwankwaso. The highest bidder wins and I don't see those people defeat Saraki in a money contest.

dukie25:
We are zoning it to the north. Kwankwaso or Tambuwal must be rewarded.
Osibanjo can continue sharing tradamoni
Yoruba presidency dead on arrival.


APC would become a regional party in 2023.

Who are the "we"? Internet sef. Jobless mofos feeling important.

Do you have any stake in PDP?

helinues:
What would be the fate of Wike, Fayose, Ekweremadu, Obiano, Umahi and co who somehow sabotaged Obi's Vp candidacy ( From Southern part cos of 2023 presidency )?

The Pdp keyboard warriors never cease to amaze me. We told them before 2019 presidential elections that politics is local. For Buhari to get 19% compared to 2015 5% says alot.

Should Pdp zoned the presidency to North, Wike, Ekweremadu and co wont mind trying their lucks in Apc ( Who might zoned it to South).

Natural dead for Pdp in Southern Nigeria before 2023( the warriors are inconsequential as usual).

As for Northern votes, Buhari endorsements would gather nothing less than 30% for whoever..

Mind you Saraki is from North ( North Central). Kwankwaso and Tambuwal joined together can't defeats Saraki in any Pdp presidential primaries ( Money bags).

No arguments about that.. 2023 may be too early to discuss, but those who are really interested started preparations years ago..

Stop troubling yourself. PDP will never zone it to the north. Igbos are just fooling themselves. Wike will rather take it if igbos are feeling inferior.

afonja spotted wt akwaibom monikker

Osu! Not everybody hates Yoruba in the SS. I live among Yorubas. Why should I hate them?

IbrahimDamola:


But it was given to yorubas on a platter, when the 2 major parties fielded Yoruba candidates obj and falae, even though yorubas banked with the loser- falae.

If the yorubas can't unite with the rest of the south and advocate for Igbo presidential candidates on the 2 major parties as it was done for yorubas, then we all know the SW is the greedy one and it'll be just for the rest of the south to abandon them, since they don't believe in Equity.

Obasanjo won a contest for PDP ticket. Ekwueme contested against him, so it was not given on a platter. Maybe you were a kid in 1998.

papiforreal:

What's the margin between PDP and APC in southwest? Southwest gives more votes to PDP than se

You don't expect the same result when a Yoruba man is on the ballot.

noisy45:


SS NC and SE will vote for PDP even if it fields a northerner come 2023 you don't know political calculation and the hatred SS and SE has towards SW

Your hatred for SW. Don't generalize. Remember we have two states in the NC. Coupled with the APC machinery, we will get 40% in the NC. A Yoruba candidate will easily win the SS and SE over any northerner. As they write results in the KKK states, we also write results in the SW. Remember the SW has the second highest voting blocks in Nigeria. Don't expect voters turn out to be the same when a Yoruba man is contesting.

If you don't know this, then you shouldn't be on this thread.

FortuneDeGreat:
When he listed the top military officers of the Nigerian army, he said that the Igbo held the most positions and had the highest number, he went ahead to present their name(officers from the defunct eastern region), he listed names from other ethnic groups in the region, joined them all up as Igbos, then when he talked about the eight "majors" that conducted the January 15th 1966 coup, he said all were Igbo forgetting that only 2 out of the 8 were from the eastern region, 4 were from the Midwest and 1 from the western region. How can you reconcile this sheer unfounded antagonism, I'll be coming up with others but let's digest this one first. Please is "sturvs" an English word? If it is , what's the meaning.

Those from the midewest are igbos. Those from eastern region are controlled by igbos. It's just as y'all call anybody from the north fulani today. The former IGP was Nupe, yet you all call him fulani. Those officers were all carrying out igbo agenda of dominating Nigeria, nay Africa.
