So supporting a candidate from SE will now make Tinubu relevant and will also make the north support SE? How do you guy reason like this? Are you sure u know what you are saying?

If the South votes a certain candidate all the candidate needs to win is significant votes from either the North central or North east.

As things stand now, Tinubu will lose both in the North and South.

Why do you Igbo dumb Igbos think you can define us?

Do you know the history of all those places you mentioned? That Igbo slaves passed through our ports does not make us Igbo.

Kalabari had nothing to do with Calabar.

Bonny, Opobo, Okrika, Kalabari, Andoni etc are all active in Ijaw issues because they know their history and heritage. [/s]

Bonny and opobo is recognized as Igbo by colonial map and history

Nigeria supreme court recognize opobo land as king jaja personal estate hope you know what this things mean?
Hope you know why Nigeria loose Bakassi

Las las your expansion will end the day Nigeria break up.

Keep on deceiving yourself!

It’s not strategic at all to support any southeast candidate in APC because they will lose monumentally. PDP is running in the blood of an average southeastener. And north supported Obasanjo and also voted for Abiola against Tofa. So you are wrong in your logic.

APC without Buhari will lose to PDP or some other party.

Ahamefuna0001:
Okrika is distinct, Bonny and Opobo belongs to the Ibani tribe while Kalabari hailed from calabar (Nicknamed the new Calabar). They're all on same level with Ijaw, all Southern Minorities.

Somebody should also tell the monarchs that " one bad turn deserves another".

Lagos is a better place today because of the foundation laid by only two people. Jakande and Tinubu. Lagos is the fifth largest economy in Africa. Every Nigerian sees Lagos as their London. Yes Tinubu supported Buhari for strategic reasons. Tinubu could not have won the election against Jonathan. He needed to support Buhari who has been testing the waters and has majority in the north. The next is for the north to support Tinubu this time. Tinubu is far better than Buhari as an intelligent strategist, a builder and moulder of leaders who can perform. He is definitely better than Buhari in all ramifications. I replied you because I feel you are genuinely misled.

Since 1999 till date the North has never supported a Southerner in an election a Northerner contested. There was nothing strategic in his move. In 2023 the North will turn her back on Tinubu.

2023 is not 1999 when there was a consensus amongst the Northern elite that a Yoruba should be president.

If Tinubu wants to remain relevant he has to support a credible candidate from the South East, Niger Delta or Middle belt.

Munamu:
Now let us reason this together. OBJ was there for 8yrs, GEJ was there for 6yrs,it is the turn of the Igbo's. This is one area the North has continue to exploit against the South. Must the Presidency come from the Southwest? Let me say this, the disunity of the South is more important to the North than the unity of Nigeria. That is why they created the southern zones in a way that will reflect the homogeneity of the the tribes therein. The implication is that there shall never be any accord amongst the Southerners .The Northwest had produced more Leaders from the Northern region yet, no grumbling from other Northern zones. Because Southerners are more educated and sophisticated, rotation of presidency among the zones means fairness and equity.
The politicians from the East should stand up and be well coordinated, this is the time to test the unity of Nigeria upon the doctrine of equity and fairness.

5 years not 6 years!

Abascoh:
You are a pathetic and brainless nincompoop. It's your forebears and your generations both present and unborn that are uncivilized savages. It's little wonder you can be spewing such stupid and ignorant trash with such confidence. The bufoonery runs in your blood. Fool, the Biafra was declared when the old eastern region which Ijaw land was part of seceded from Nigeria, ojukwu didn't encroach on anyone's land, you were all part of the eastern region so you automatically fell within the boundaries of Biafra. Secondly, you conceited clowns were too insignificant in the scheme of things surrounding that civil war for it to be about Igbos vs Ijaw. You read every account of the history of the war and I am certain that not a single person of Ijaw extraction was mentioned as having played any significant role in the events leading to, during and in the aftermath of the war beyond the very minor role played Boro himself. Keep cooking up fantastically stupid tales in your head and fighting imaginary battles in your head. As I said earlier, it's just a symptom of the lunacy that is genetic to your race of untamed barbarians. Idiotic descendant of a generation of lunatics!!

I won't exchange words with our traditional slaves. Chief Asari-Dokubo reminded you but you keep on forcing us to remind you of your place.

If you had a right to secede with the Eastern region including Ijaw people, Nigeria has every right to keep you. Just like Nigeria, the defunct eastern region was a creation of Britain. That is why Ijaws were found in both the defunct West, Midwest and Eastern region.

Toosure70:
Any southern attacking Southner on this forum will never know peace. #SOUTHUNITE#

So the South should unite only when it serves Yoruba people's interests?

If Tinubu and the rest of you are keen on Southern unity you should support one of the other Southern zones.

Abascoh:
And it's obvious foolishness and lunacy is ingrained in the genes of Ijaw people. I didn't condemn Adaka Boro for fighting against Biafra, I was pointing out to you that the same way Adaka Boro fought in the Nigerian army against secessionist is also the same way Ironsi and Ojukwu fought against secessionists. It wasn't an Igbo vs Ijaw war like the picture your other foolish Ijaw ignoramus colleague was painting earlier.

It was an Igbo vs Ijaw thing!
Let it sink into that skull of yours. You Igbos are always fond of trying to make your excesses look good.

Boro never encroached into Igbo land when he made his move for freedom yet you Igbos worked against him.

When Ojukwu declared Biafra he encroached into Ijawland, carried out all sorts of human rights violations and you bunch of savages expect us to applaud him for that. Calling us saboteurs because we refused to be part of a rebellion that did not serve our interests.

He will have no time to implement his intentions. He has been sacked. Let's see what his successor would be up to.

TroubleMaker47:
Your ignorance is embarrassing.
Have a wonderful day

It is your own ignorance that is beyond imagination!

Bigotry should be Buhari's first name!

TroubleMaker47:
1914

Until October 1st they were British citizens just like the people of Adamawa and Southern Cameroon.

TroubleMaker47:
The constitution of both countries stands on par concerning this.
Atiku and his family born before the 1961 Ref are not citizens by birth

Nobody born before October 1st 1960 was a citizen by birth!

I am not shocked some of you Nigerians are promoting these kind of ideas, bigotry is a common trait amongst most of you. If the Adamawa people choose to leave Nigeria you won't let them leave.

Abascoh:
Shut your dirty mouth. Adaka boro picked up arms to fight against the Nigerian government of which Ironsi was the head of state and Ojukwu the Administrator of the Eastern region. That they headed the government doesn't mean that the army that fought Adaka boro was an Igbo army or fighting on behalf of Igbos. It was a Nigerian army made up of people from all over Nigeria fighting on behalf of Nigeria. When the Nigerian army went to fight the biafrans did Adaka Boro himself and other Ijaws not fight on the Nigerian side to prevent the break up of the same Nigeria? You are the one that sounds like you know next to nothing.

It is obvious stupidity is a common trait you IPOBISTS share!

The same Ojukwu who helped quell Adaka Boro's secession attempt tries to leave Nigeria some months later with the same Adaka Boro's people and you expected him to celebrate?

Make una try get sense small abeg!

ijawcitizen:
Thanks for the advice.

But may I remind you that we Ijaws were the first to insist on getting out of this "concentration camp" the abokis are keeping you and your fathers without you knowing it, but guess who spilled our bloods to bring us back to the concentration camp?

Tell him now!

Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi. Two Igbo soldiers!
Maybe the kid needs to be told. All these Igbo kids born in the 90s and 2000s know next to nothing.

TroubleMaker47:
An immigrant in US can contest for mayor, governor, senator etc BUT CAN NEVER CONTEST FOR PRESIDENT!.
It's illogical to allow someone who is not a citizen by birth to lead a nation!
You'll never know where his true loyalty lies when push comes to shove!

Nigeria is not America!

Based on that logic Buhari should have never been Nigeria's president.

Moreover Atiku's family are Nigerians. Adamawa state voted in a referendum to remain in Nigeria while Southern Cameroon decided to join Cameroon.

If you allowed him to be elected governor and become vice president you have made him qualified for the position.

If I may ask, which Fulani elite has his root in Nigeria?

Most of their families have been less than 70 years in Nigeria.

The much older ones came during Usman Dan Fodio's 1804 conquest.

emmadothings:
Who is this fool with no background

You are the fool with no background!

This is one of Obafemi Awolowo's evil legacies. Changing the title Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri!

No wonder Chief Asari-Dokubo referred to Awolowo as the devil the Ijaw man knows.

tishbite41:
go sleep, nwanne. Dog and Lion no be mate.

Whale and African hunting dog no be mate!
Remain in the jungle and you will be fine.

tishbite41:
u don't understand simple English language. Read my post again. We Igbos are too big to court the Ijaws. You guys are not up to the smallest sub-ethnic Igbo group!

You Igbo are too inconsequential for us!

It is not by size. We no be mate.

tishbite41:
lol
Why are you looking for their support?!
Hustle your own na!
How many support una give Igbos.
MNK should arrange himself and give us a homogeneous Biafra(Igbos in SE and SS).

Pasisi, Biko, Mbok, Jaw, Please in any language you may understand. Just leave we Ijaws out of your fictitious country. We don't want to be part of it. We are large enough to be a country.

View of a slum!
Who cares?

Crimrburster:
Ok but MTN must go.

Na you go come carry them go?

MTN is HERE to stay!

What annoys me is that these Nigerian Igbophobes will not allow the Igbo have their own country since they hate them so much!

My primary problem is with people like Nnamdi Kanu who includes my people in their quest to leave Nigeria.

In as much as my people have also been victims of Nigeria's bigotry and greed, another heterogeneous country like Nigeria won't serve our interests.

MikeBetty:
where i hail from is immaterial, the koko is Ijaw of part of delta, bayelsa and ijaw of being minority of rivers does not have what it take to be a sovereign nation. As for ijaw of ondo, forget it. Yoruba will not cede an inch of its land to ijaw.

You must be ashamed of your inconsequential ethnic group!

Ijaw are the majority in Rivers and from Andoni to Arogbo our border is very clear. We own the coastal parts of all these states.

MikeBetty:
unfortunately there will not be homogeneous ijaw republic.

Who are you to say that trash?
By the way, where are you from?

MikeBetty:
Same way smaller tribes will be skeptical of ijaw dominance. You are in for a long thing.

I prefer a homogeneous Ijaw republic. That's the best for us.

ThumbzTNA:
Of what economic importance is a minority tribe like Ijaw to biafra?

Of ALL economic importance

technicallyrich:
We have done these several times.i m proudly ijaw an support biafra.

You are not Ijaw!
