Your level of rationale is very low... I pity you. You ibos need this one Nigeria more than it needs you and this is a fact!

Really? So why don't you allow Igbos to say this ourselves? Why take Alabukun, and Panadol for another man's headache? Bros na wa for you!! Are you jobless?

Kolade354:
why nt forgive nd forget nd move on

I am sure they have forgiven and moved on, but a wise man will not forget but will take proactive measure to prevent a repeat! What better way to do that than with this new tool called PVC!

Kolade354:
They dont know how to forgive easily they are still angry at Fashola for deporting Igbo in lagos as if Agbaje will give them half of lagos...........To whom it may Fvking Concern among you,call your folks from anambra,ebonyi,enugu,okrika,nnewi,onitsha to cum and vote Ambode will still beat you 100 times.

At least they are voting against a party that deported them in favour of the one who promise not to!

That's fair enough if you asked any rational person!

Raiders:
you have hatred for Rochas because of him supporting Buhari. If Rochas was still in APGA you would have been one of the individuals campaigning for him. In terms of performance, Rochas is one of the best Igbo governor in this present Republic. He has done a lot for Imo state than the previous PDP governors. I have been to Owerri during Ohakim tenure and I can see the difference between his government and the previous government. Besides that Emeka Ihiedioha is no different from Ohakim and Rochas is far better than him. Apart from the Enugu Gov Chime, PDP governors has failed the Igbos.
Its an insult to call Ameachi an errand boy. Ameachi is the best governor in Rivers state and he is love by Rivers people. You are just sentimental because Ameachi and Rochas supported APC without considering their leadership style and performance in their respective states

It is idiotic and clearly ignoramous to keep chanting 'hatred' when Imolites will be doing the voting!

Campaign for Rochas if you wish rather than engaging in inconsequential vituperation!! Park well!!

pazienza:
True! We need some moment to assess things and 're strategize, an APC free Igboland is very crucial at this moment.

I hope Imolites come out to vote, many are psychologically down this moment, if they don't come out to vote, it makes Rochas victory easy.


Buhari, I am sure would reward Mallam Rochas with a ministerial post.

Anambra has done their part by voting out Ngige, imo must do their part.

@bolded
Or let him leak his fingers!

I sincerely agree voting out Rochas is the right course of action; we should make it happen.

Raiders:
please don't compare Buhari and Rochas because they are 2 different individuals. Buhari has died hard followers in the north that are ready to die for him. Rochas is still a rising star in Nigeria politics.

He had four years to convince Imolites of his worth;

He must be weighed, examined, and for his mediocre performance booted out! We need developmental politician, not a rising politician!

Raiders:
he will become politically irrelevant in the Nigeria politics. A state governor in Nigeria is very influential in Nigeria politics than a minister. If he loses this election it will damage his political carreer.

Same way Buhari was politically irrelevant, right? Some of are just sentimental!

pazienza:
Imolites must save Igboland, vote out Rochas. This must be done.

It's important that Rochas lose, It's strategic.

I agree, and hope that Imolite see the need to do that!

An APC free Igboland would enable us to strategise and act without let or hindrance!

Buhari needs Rochas more than Imolites need him; Imo should free Rochas, let him go with the winds!

Raiders:
Imolites should not make the mistake of voting Rochas out. I personally think he is the best governor in Imo state since 1999. Also I see Rochas as a rising star in the East and might end up becoming the first Igbo President. Rochas is love in the north for standing with Buhari even against the wish of his people. Also Rochas is very fluent in Hausa because he was born and grew up in the north. Rochas is the only Igbo man that I think can win election in the north if the presidency is zone to the Igbos by the 2 major parties.
I really hope the people of Imo should vote for Rochas due to his performance as a governor and the potential of him being a national Igbo leader that would protect the cause of the Igbos in the new federal government

How does voting him out prevent him from being President?

OkuDiOver1:
take it or leave it Okorocha is coming back to douglas House.

If he gets enough votes, why not? But no one is going to vote him on some petty talks like keeping a SE state in APC! Let him face the people, and let them decide his fate according to the measure of promises he made and what he delivered!

If Rochas is booted out, I am sure he can contest with Amaechi for the position of Chief errand boy in Buhari's cabinet! Buhari probably need him more than Imo do.

His welfarist policies has left Imo State short on developmental strides!

Martins301:
If you won't stop being bitter then I leave you to yourself. Wisdom is better than might.

It's idiotic to think that dissatisfied Imolite voting out Rochas do so due to bitterness. But then some of you clowns are so deep in your myopic propaganda that you forget that all politics is local!

Martins301:
Give me the names of two best performing governors in the East.

And what crap would you do with it?

Trashy post, even as the op didn't credit the original writer!

If Rochas is deemed not to have performed credibly, and another who is better able to deliver for Imo comes around, Rochas is history!

You can keep you allocation, our people say, "We didn't grow teeth because of another man's yam!"


An Igboland absent APC will give us time and room from introspection; I say VOTE OUT ROCHAS!

MzJackBaueress:
like Orubebe like PointB.
Please grow up! That person you quoted is old enough to be your son. Don't join him in the act of stupidity.

When you clowns were jumping around calling the President all sorts of name, you were a child right? Well since you have elected to elect an unlettered bigot, semi-illiterate shall be the name of Buhari for the duration of his presidency, and this is not tied to performance!

PassingShot:
@ the bold, where did you deduce that from? He said four years is not enough to solve Nigeria problems of 16 years and you're already twisting it!

I give up on you man.

Since you understand him, how long does he need to solve Nigeria 16 year problem? A hundred years?

PassingShot:
You must be really ignorant. Has there been any excuses already? Is saying that he cannot solve all the problems of Nigeria in four years an excuse? Or did you ever think there is anyone who could solve all our problems in fours?

What Nigeria will judge Buhari on are: ability to stamp out corruption or reduce it very drastically, provision of security, tremendous improvement in electricity supply, provision of needed infrastructure and generally improving the economy beyond what it is presently.

I think you are the ignorant one. Or perhaps it something to do with youe inability to comprehend!

Buhari is saying 4 years is not enough to do the things he promised! Isn't that creating excuses already even before taking the mantle. If 4 years is inadequate, how long will it take?

Buhari doesn't have this information because he hasn't got plans and timeline of deliverables.

dunkem21:
We are getting there.

Very soon, Naira will be equal to dollar

Yes ooo.

Waiting earnestly. I want to buy White House!

I'm sure he'll ask for 100 years!

This what happen when you vote someone without plan into power! Excuses!!

xtremely9ja:
This is what the Yorubas did to their own son, whom they know is the choice of the whole Nigeria in 1999.

http://www.electoralgeography.com/new/en/countries/n/nigeria/nigeria-presidential-election-1999.html

And Olu Falae wasn't their son?

How were you able to determine the choice of whole Nigeria in 1999 prior to election? Are you a seer?

EUROBOMBER:
Let me start by saying congratulations to Muhammadu Buhari for winning the presidential election and emerging as Nigeria’s president-elect. I have come to realise that Buhari’s victory is the will of God for Nigeria and so, I have come to accept him as my president.

I also want to congratulate President Goodluck Jonathan for being mature enough to accept defeat and concede the election. This man remains one of the greatest Nigerian presidents because he could have decided to set Nigeria on fire but chose the honourable path.

I want to also recognise all my fellow PDP e-warriors that stood beside the President. Thank you for your resilience and unflinching support all through the struggle. Also to recognise all the APC e-warriors who fought bravely in support of their party despite all odds and won the battle.

MY MESSAGE FOR BUHARI

Now that you have become the President, I want to let you know that the change Nigerians really need is not the change of personalities or political party, Nigerians are just tired of the way things have been going in this country. Nigerians are suffering; we struggle to provide basic needs that ordinarily the Government should provide. Thieves continue to steal and get richer while the majority of Nigerians are languishing in poverty. This is the reason why Nigerians have decided to give you a chance; the people believe that God can use you to turn things around in this country that is why you were voted for last Saturday.

(1) Fight corruption to a complete halt in this country especially in the petroleum sector. Sanitize the NNPC, ensure transparency and accountability. Nigerians all over should be able to benefit from our God-given resources. A few cannot continue to hold this country to ransom and steal at will.

(2) Provide stable and reliable power supply for Nigerians. This will enable SME’s to thrive and encourage investors to flock massively into the country. The cost of doing business in this country is crazy because of high energy costs. We must do away with generators in this country for good Mr President.

(3) Please diversify our economy. We cannot continue to depend heavily on oil in Nigeria. Sit down and take a good look at the six geopolitical zones in this country and find a way of harnessing all economic potentials for the good of all Nigerians. Our economy must be less dependent on crude oil.

(4) Deal ruthlessly with corrupt persons who believe that they can continue to steal and do business as usual. This is a democracy but Mr President, you are the C-in-C and you have enormous powers at your disposal, please use them! Don’t be like Jonathan who allowed his Government to be hijacked by criminals who looted the nation dry while Nigerians cried.

(5) Finally, Buhari could be the man that God could use to finally cement Nigeria’s bond of unity by handing over to an Igbo-Nigerian president after his tenure in office whether 4 or 8yrs. Like the Elder statesman Yakubu Gowon said, electing an Igbo president would heal the old wounds of the civil war. Buhari’s name will be written in gold both in the hearts of the Igbos if he can be the instrument to achieving Igbo presidency in this country. If Buhari, being a Fulani from the North can transfer presidential power to the Igbos after him then he will be like the hinge holding Nigeria together.

A WORD FOR THE SE

I want to thank my geopolitical zone the SE for standing with Jonathan till the end. Yes, he lost the election but we have made a bold statement that we can stand with you till death when we give you our word. There was immense pressure to abandon the minority Ijaw man and join the majority but we refused and stood with the minority till the very end. We must however join hands with the new president to move this great nation forward. Personally, I have concluded that Nigeria has come to stay since we have survived this 2015 presidential election. Let us also build good bridges with other geopolitical zones so that we can produce Nigeria’s president after Buhari. No zone can produce the president alone in this country; you need the support of at least four zones to produce the president!

Let us also eschew bitterness and drop all these talk about Biafra; we are Nigerians and we have everything to gain in this country if we can play our game well.


A WORD FOR THE NIGER DELTA

Thank God we can now say that Nigeria has produced a president for the first time from the minority in the person of Goodluck Jonathan who is about to leave office. I can understand the pain/anger because of the outcome of this election but the truth is that what has happened is the will of God for Nigeria; I see the finger of God in all these. This is Buhari’s time to rule this country; he is a man of destiny. He has come just at the right time to save this country from gliding into abyss.

Stop calling the Yorubas traitors and all that. Remember that the Yorubas overwhelmingly voted for your son in 2011 and rejected this same buhari. Check the figures and see that buhari was soundly rejected by the Yorubas in 2011. All Nigerians believed that Jonathyan would be a Messiah that would come and turn things around in this country; this was a man who had no shoes to go to school, who was from a poor background. Nigerians voted massively for him only to be so disappointed that he has not been able to make their lives better. Things are much more difficult for Nigerians now than when Jonathan took over. This is the reason why the Yourubas have rejected Jonathan this time. It is not out of hatred or gang-up but because he has not performed well! Same story about most of the MB and that is why Jonathan lost the MB. Nigerians never had it this bad, state Governors are owing salaries for months, people are hungry, unable to pay school fees and unable to meet their basic human needs.

How foolish can a Government be? Imagine someone that wants to come for a second term and civil servants were not paid their December salaries to celebrate Christmas! This is just unbelievable! It was in December last year that I began to question this Government in my mind but I still continued my relentless support on Nairaland for Jonathan. I saw my relatives who were Civil Servants going hungry during the Christmas celebrations, some could not even purchase new clothes for their kid, how painful!

As for me, I will do my very best in my own little capacity to support Buhari in changing this country for good. If things should continue the way they were going under Jonathan I wonder what the future of our children would be to be honest. It is God that has pushed out Jonathan not Nigerians because of all the prayers and crying that has gone up to him.

Let me also use this medium to appeal to all reasonable Yorubas on Nairaland to prevail on their people to stop opening funny threads about Igbo this Igbo that just because Jonathan lost. The APC people should stop opening threads to tell other Nigerians ‘Ntorrr’, we should move away from such pettiness and mediocrity.


A WORD TO THE CORE NORTH

And to the core North, let this election be a lesson and a reference point. A southerner sitting as president presided over his own defeat, accepted the results and went ahead to congratulate the winner from the north. In 2011 when Jonathan defeated Buhari, he refused to concede defeat but shouted that the election was rigged when we all know that he was defeated by Jonathan then. Nobody is burning tyres on the road in the South, nobody is burning Mosques, nobody is burning houses/cars and nobody is going about killing Northerners. Should the Northerners lose elections in future we expect them to accept the results and not disturb the peace. Jonathan has set a very good precedent not only for Nigeria but Africa.

Well said!

Billyonaire:
This is ridiculous. We have a new President. Our job is to make sure that Buhari among other things fulfill his promises. No incentive is great enough than to make our roads paved, our electricity constant, our youths employed, our wines on our tables and our wives on our beds alone.

Whatever incentive you are offered now can buy you a car but no road to drive on, jets but no sky to fly on, plates but no food in them and condoms but no pussies to fu/ck.

Buhari should as a matter of urgency equip our rail-lines with bullet trains.
Buhari should stabilize the price of crude oil
Buhari should make 1 dollar equal to 1 naira
Buhari should provide 1-meal per day to all primary school kids
Buhari should pay post-NYSC graduates 1 year salary
Buhari should make sure no bomb blast is heard in Nigeria
Buhari should start arresting corrupt officials starting from Tinubu, his Godfather.
I want 24/7 electricity starting from May 29.

I am here, I am my Freedom of Speech MUST not be taken away.

I am Billyonaire, I am here, as always.

@bolded

... or die trying! lmao

Sooroptimist1:
Even if he decamps,they should not give any latter day converts to APC or opportunists especially from the SE

When other people bore the hammer of the PDP,most of them chose to play safe and supported the insults being hurled at Buhari and Tinubu

The bigots amongst them even went to the extent of insulting their own priest Fr Mbaka in order to underscore their reprehensible disdain for anything APC

Well hear it again!

Buhari is an old frail, semi-illiterate son of a cattle herder; Tinubu is the biggest thief in the land. We totally reject APC and will do it again!

South East MUST have the Senate President even if the beneficiary is from PDP!

Now if that vexes you, grab a bottle of rat poison and soak in garri to aid the journey down your belly !

What does a PHD holder and President have to fear from a frail old semi-illiterate son of a cattle rearer.

Clearly Buhari overestimates himself!

talktrue1:
Minority cannot rule over majority. Igbos will not have any political power in this regime.
Senate President, Deputy senate president, Speaker, deputy speaker, SSG, None will get to them.
Its a pity

Joker!

bokohalal:
A look at the looming political landscape of Nigeria will reveal the side lining of one of three major ethnic groups unless something drastic is immediately done to rectify it.
Since the first two political positions are occupied by an Hausa - Fulani and Yoruba as President and vice respectively, it would be in the interest of national unity and inclusiveness to allocate the third most powerful position, Senate President, to the third leg of the tripod, the Igbo.
Granted that the Eastern states overwhelming voted for the PDP and thus ensured that all the lawmakers in the Upper House of the National Assembly are all PDP legislators, the APC has a chance ,before the commencement of the new Assembly, to Nick a few present PDP elected lawmakers to the APC. Any of this lawmakers, preferably from Imo State, should forthwith be made the senate president.

Senator Hope Uzodinma!

barcanista:
Bro, thank you for your advice. My purpose of responding was aimed at nipping stuffs to the bud. It isn't the first time though but I think this should be the last. Ii just hope we all get over this and discuss real politics on this board. Actually, I find this drama to be unnecessary but shamefully, I have been consistently dragged into it.

You are welcome.

As much as possible don't let anyone put on the defensive. You are not obligated to respond to every tantrum thrown by a child.

Guy, take a chill pill. You don't have to react to everything.


And delete this thread as not many people care about why you switch or not. Trust me, this is cyber any personal information you release here can and will be used against you!

oilykid:
Exactly bro, the only language Nigeria understands is violence and that's why Nigerians are taking the Igbos for a ride cause an average Igboman is not violent in nature. The only way Nigeria can avert this, is to implement full resource control. if not, the militants would be more brutal than before.They are just waiting for their son to hand over on 29th of may to resume their hostilities

hmmmn

oilykid:
NA is yet to recover from the insurgency in the NE. militants issues is more sophisticated than insurgency in a way that they don't need to fight with the NA. How many pipelines can the NA protect. All of saying that the military will crush is just living in self denial. let's just hope that militancy won't resume in the Delta

That's my fear!

We need to hope for the best, while preparing for the worst!
