Stevenson1: Rotimi Amaechi no bad Sha. Atleast he shared half Igbo name and that of Yoruba and full blooded south south person. Amaechi no get enemy except for wike. So, I'm good with Amaechi. Nigeria needs fresh air and I think he's that fresh air. Also, his tenure is going to be epic cos bobo likes spending die. That's the only thing Nigerians needs right now. People who go open hands for our common wealth to reach everybody. Also, he delivers on development and co.
saphiere: I don't have plan B. I know the God I am serving. My plan A must work for me. He promised me through His words (Bible) that he will grant all my heart desires. I desire to have a decent home and raise wonderful kids to His glory.
Once you think of plan B, you have limited your God.
How many people in the Bible did God make a Rev Sister?
My God is not like Nigerian men who have double mouth. My God will never say a thing and then do the opposite. My God has already told me that I will leave my father's house and join with my soulmate and the two shall become one.
So tell me who God will plan for me not to get married when He has said that I will leave my father's house to my husband's house.
flokii: APC ticket in 2023 is for South.. no doubt about it. Tinubu or PYO most likely.
PDP on the other hand want to play on sentiments with the hope that Northerners will vote for Northern candidate to defeat Southern candidate of APC in 2023. I believe that is what Wike is against as he wants PDP to field a Southerner as well so power will shift South.
That party called PDP is one of the problems we have in this country. The Igbos can continue hoping for PDP to field a Northerner till they'll get the shock of their lives with SW-APC vs SS-PDP contest.
Just laughing! You have to live in the North fir at least 10 years so that you can understand the people you are dealing with.
seunmsg: And what exactly is wrong in debunking a lie that was ascribed to his name? Is there no place for truth in you guys politics? Why get angry that someone debunked a lie?
Btw, why do you want great southern leaders like Tinubu and Wike to be at loggerheads? What’s the benefit? How many time have you seen northern leaders from different political parties antagonize each other publicly? Even the Atiku you’re supporting stood in as the Father of Yusuf Buhari during his wedding last year. Why can’t you southerners learn from them?
Great southern leaders you say?
You must have a strange concept for the word "great"
If you must know, only Yorubas believe that Tinubu has any political sagacity outside South West.
My dear, Tinubu' s madness starts and ends in South West and I can bet everything I have that he will never be president.
The next president of Nigeria is still a big secret and you will be shocked when he is unveiled.
It will be like Yaradua scenario. OBJ picked him at dieing minute. Nobody could influence anything.
Chizuru01: Am not shaking any table bro. This is a clear case of choosing between wisdom and foolishness.
North will never support Igbo presidency anytime soon due to Biafra even if we vote Atiku 100 times. If Ndị Igbo is really interested in presidency, isn't the choice very clear to us?
This would have been Igbo peoples turn but Parties are afraid that no other region will vote for an Igbo man (Which is understandable). Why don't we make future plans now we are still in the past?
Look at how smart SS kept quiet why we are busy showcasing stupidity everywhere
STOP this foolishness and get a life.
Igbos did not beg you for advice.
Give your presidency to whoever you want to give. You can elect a cow for all I care.
This is 21st century and you still think that what matters most to an Igbo man is presidency?
Very soon, Nigeria will start borrowing money from Anambra state.
A time that Igbos are clamouring for regionalism, this efulefu thinks presidency is what matters most.
How has Buhari presidency helped an average man in Katsina?
Have you been to Ota, Ogun State? There is no single motorable road. The town is just a ghost of itself. Yet OBJ ruled for 8 years.
1. Human Capital Development 2. Infrastructure 3. Education 4. Industrialization i.e modernization of the economy 5. Health care 7. Urban/Rural development 8. Security 9. Employment 10. Massive improvement in Revenue generation such that we can become self sufficient without relying on FG allocation 11. We need a south-eastern owned transport facilities e.g Cargo airports
Once the Governors in the 5 eastern states can achieve the above in Eastern region, Nigeria can elect a monkey for president for all I care.
Our only worry is that some states do not have competent governors to achieve this.
Our enemies are aware of our potentials and that is the reason they enthrone efulefus as our governors using supreme court.
Chizuru01: Go and sit down. Abu m onye Igbo. why the hate on Tinibu. I don't give a fvck about politicians but, why are we being so rude on him. Is it jealousy or what?
Is it "Because we know we can't get it now, so let them not get it too "mentality?
Idiot! You don't become an Igbo man simply because you can speak the language.
Igbo is about ideology, principles, culture and traditions
Emir01: For the the fact dat you dropped out and it works for you doesn't mean it will work for others. Millions make it through education than music. Don't discourage those that choose education as their career. Dangote, Adenuga, bill gate, BUA, Tinubu, Ogunlesi, Otedola, all CEOs of banks all of them are graduate and you're not close to them atall. Learn how to inspire youths.
That is what many Nigerian Youths don't know, especially football lovers. They keep telling you how much Messi and Ronaldo earn weekly and forget that their skill and talent depreciates with age. Once you are 30, your football career is as good as dead. Only few eventually become coaches.
However, knowledge and skills acquired through education is forever.
RichDad1: PMB became the President without the inconsequential SE. perhaps you don’t know that the highest numbers of voters are from the NW,SW,NE. Your landlocked SE has the lowest.
And you are certain that the NW and NE votes are already in your pocket? And the two regions alone will make your god president?
Atiku actually won the election if you must know and that was why INEC denied that they have a server.
It is also on record, that Obasanjo won presidential elections without the "inconsequential " South West.
Let me take you back to memory lane because it is obvious you know nothing about history:
In 2015, the vote difference in South West between GEJ and Buhari was about 400,000 votes which Enugu State alone swallowed.
It is now clear to you that the North made Buhari president and you can see that in his political appointments.
Obviously, you are brainwashed, yet your brain is not clean enough to understand that if not for rigging and importationof voters from nearby Osun and Ogun States, PDP almost won Governorship election in Lagos State by Igbos votes.
Igbos are not found only in SE. Their votes in any State in Nigeria is very significant as there is no State in Nigeria that Igbos are not found in their numbers.
Think! Think!! and Think before you open your mouth.
It is important that you see things beyond prejudice and your level of awareness, otherwise you may end up exposing your own ignorance.
RichDad1: So far, 4 southerners (SW 1, SE 3) have declared for Presidency. All from the APC. What’s happening to southerners in PDP, most especially the SE that has been clamoring to have a President of Igbo extraction? Are you sure you’re being marginalized or you’re marginalizing yourselves by continuing to queue behind the same Hausa/Falani as usual ?
Are you in Nigeria or you just want to rant?
The only politician who publicly declared his intention to contest for presidency come 2023 under PDP platform is Senator Anyim Pius Anyim.
I guess he is from SW?
This your hatred for Igbos is becoming childish.
Let us see how any Yoruba can become president without SE and SS votes I.e 11 states out of the 36 states.
We are waiting, continue with your insults.
Mind you that Tinubu can't get block vote from the North like Buhari, especially if PDP presents a Northern candidate.
Let's keep leaving in self denial as a tribe...and not tell ourselves the truth.
I am not Igbo because I acknowledged what is plain reality.
We never see anything. When was the last time Ndigbo produced the VP in Nigeria? 1983 abi? That was our brother, Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme from Oko in Anambra State.
Where and where did Orji Kalu work before owning bank and a shipping company as you claim.
Oya now, let him come and contest for President make we see....shey, he comes from a wealthy home....
Onye ngbu!
I don't have time for efulefu like you. When he contests and wins, you can kill yourself for all I care.
CoolAmbience: You are certainly an ignorant fellow.
Why bring an entire tribe into this? I am Igbo o....dey there dey mumu yourself.
What qualification did Buhari receive upon graduating from the US War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania?
Don't be a lazy youth....do a simple research.
It is not about having a PhD. Fact is, Orji Kalu is ill-educated and can't be President.
Do your findings, Buhari has a Master Degree in Strategic Studies.
So, you believe the bullcrap about Buhari not being educated? And you think Obasanjo will make him Federal Commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources or Chairman of NNPC after it was formed?
You are a bigger idiot than I thought. Your hatred has gotten to the point of denying your tribe. OUK graduated from Abia State University . He is from a wealthy home unlike your Tinubu who made his money by stealing from government. If you have a problem with his education, you can go to court. A man who owns a bank in Gambia and Shipping company in Nigeria even before he became a governor. He made a significant financial contribution to PDP when they had nothing even before he became a governor and a coconut head like you who is struggling to write in simple English claims he is ill-educated. What have you ever achieved with your education?
Bonjovi13: I took time to watch the clip and I couldn't see how he disgraced himself. All I saw was a man who is passionate about his ambition and his country.
Yes he called Abati's name several times, it was obvious that they knew each other a long time. What's the big deal. Yes he wasn't fluent in English. He spoke passable well. English is not our native language and this should not be used to mock him. Most French people can't speak English, Russians, Chinese name them. They are still respected and when they speak you must make provision for an interpreter. It's only Nigeria because of our colonial mentality that has taught us that we should despise who we are and what is indigenous to us. Including our language and culture.
I'm not holding brief for him,but OUK has shown competency, resilience in business and politics that is admirable.
Most of us can't cope with the demands and strain of family politics,talk more of local then National politics. Any politician who can ride to the top of Nigerian politics and stay there should be admired. It's not easy. That being said, for equity and justice and inclusiveness,the Presidency should be zoned to the South East. We are not second class citizens. Although I am mature enough to know that our politicians from our zone have not got their acts together. They are disunited and selfish. How can they form a power Bloc if they are disunited and no one will give you power just because. You must work for it. Ya gazie
You really have time for these yoruba idiots. They are out to discredit every Igbo man contesting for president using the media. Their hatred for Igbos is unimaginable
NaijaTrend01: Dear south East Brother and sister. We must wake up now. Afonja have organized themselves for blackmail against the south East candidate. It's time to wake up here and defend and reciprocate every action.
Tinubu is almost dead and can't even lead any local government. Tinubu is an old criminal who deserve to be in prison. Nigeria must wake up or we suffer again because Tinubu can't afford anything but to go on medical trip with public fund.
The dumb Osinbajo who have been exhibiting high level of incompetent does not have the lever to lead Nigeria. He's a push and go human. He contributed a lot to woes of Buhari and he has no other plan.
Modernizer: I agree with you that tinubu is an articulate man, and also well organised. He probably has had a top notch international media team for the past year and half fine tuning his strategy
I doubt if orji kalu even put 15 minutes of preparation into this interview.
This was a mess, given the potential it had to project him.
That being said, tinubu still has some awful lot of work to do.
I expect him to get the apc nomination, and to face off with atiku.
If that happens he may not win the presidency
Yorubas and their inherent hatred for Igbos.... Tufiakwa!!
wink2015: DO NOT MIND "GOVERNOR UMAHI" AND SENATOR UZOR KALU.
They are both lobbying to be VICE PRESIDENT TO A NORTHERN CANDIDATE.
They know they will go no where as far as the 2023 presidency is concerned.
Both governor Umahi and Senator Kalu will be happy to take the position of Vice President but they are just deceiving their constituency that they are a Presidential material.
Do not commit suicide when Umahi becomes president in 2023
PeaceJoyLove: Hmmm! Who wants you? So you dont know? You think SS and SW send you? Do you know who wants you? Let me show you. Trace where that pipeline of your oil goes. KADUNA. Bingo!
SS understands this, and they are trying. It's why they affiliate better with SW.
This has been my point always. Una go just dey talk anyhow. Why would you say the whole Nigeria wants you? You wahala is too much. Who spits venom? The venoms you spat in 2015? That of 2019? The whole beating of chests?
So telling you to your face you made a big mistake killing Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Belewa is venom spitting? You killed Balewa and left his corpse in the open field near Ibadan. That was what vexed the north. The number one of Nigeria oooo. You dont want to hear the truth at all. And no one should pity you. North has CPC by Buhari...and ACN by Tinubu to fight PDP. Where was APGA? Where were ibos? No be money your leaders were after? Talk na...
Seriously speaking, no one will ever and ever pity you since what you people put online show you have not learned at all. So, Orji Kalu or Ayim is who you want to put there? Go and read my post how I analysed that till 3023, una no go smell Aso Rock seat. And yet, Kaduna will not let you go. Go and face Mallam Elfufai. He is the main man who will NEVER let you go.
ElRufai is your Pharoah. He will not let you go. Never. Leave the whole of Nigeria out of your mess.
If you want liberation, team up with SW and SS and stop being the rebellious prodigal son who was too money conscious. Money can buy you. It's a fact everyone knows. This is yi.bo...this is money. Money is yi.bo. Fact! If you talk too much, I know your dose. Just send me your digits and I will treat your disease. Na small change. A beg...Next!!!
Go back and read my full comment and for the first time, reason like an adult.

PeaceJoyLove: You tried to maake a bit sense, but ended it with bigotry and pseudo history bullcrap which is always your ways...lol.
The issue you have failed to realise is that most people tackling you guys don't hate you. They are simply telling you the truth. Ok. Is it Pius Anyim you want to put there? That one that was a total failure as the senate president. What did he achieve? Look at Orji Uzo Kalu. Was he not a governor the same time Bola Tinubu was a governor? Look at their achievements....so wide. Kalu destroyed Abia totally Who will hand over Nigeria to him? But you all relocated to the Lagos Bola Tinubu developed. Lol. Yet, you hate this man so much. If he was Orji Kalu, would you have Lagos to run to?
Even Kalu relegated himself to the extent to taking up chief "weep" of senate after losing the senate president's seat. But look at Asiwaju, he is focused on his long time ambition. He was not into any senatorial seat. But look at your own people? Even the statue builder Okorocha who first came out as a presidential aspirant. He relegates himself to governorship and them a senator now. Why? Cos he wants to eat money. To the extent ordinarily Uzoma or what is his name has tarnished his image and destroyed his political career. Who will ever make Okorocha the president of Nigeria with the mess in Imo? Who? Compare him to Asiwaju...even after 15 years of leaving office, he is still the leader in Lagos. And even recovered the whole of SW from Obasanjo who used presidential to steal all states apart from Lagos. Asiwaju was the only last man standing. And after, he returned to capture the whole of SW. Look at Buhari, as full as he is, did he change his after after not getting the presidential seat for 8 years? This is called consistency and being focused. Determination wins everytime. You must be disciplined to win. And you want us take the useless ones you are presenting serious. You people are not serious at all.
We dont hate you...but it is you people who hate others. You do not want to listen to history cos that is where the truth lies. You keep on telling those innocent ibos outside who dont know the history lies. We need to tell them the history so they see you people are very senseless and greedy. Which super ibo brain is around in Nigeria? They all move out cos terrible ones chased them away.
Mind you it was a yoruba man (obasanjo) who made Soludo the governor of CBN. Even his fellow ibos worked against him. And after leaving, you all saw his input in CBN, yet it took over a decade to accept him as the governor. Imagine what that man would have achieved if you had made him a gov earlier. I am sure he would be a top shot in the presidential race. But nope, na money be your focus.
Yes, you always miscalculate. But one man who has not miscalculated is Charles Soludo. He didn't say cos he was robbed of the gubernatorial seat all the time he lost to run to senatorial...and didnt lick the ass of anyone to become a minister in Abuja. He knows he is an economist who should be a governor and then a president..not a law maker. And he is focused. I am curious to see what Charles will do. And if he succeeds, I will support him for presidency. Why not?
But wait. I ask you again, isn't not the turn to Ibibios? Is it not the turn of Tivs? Is it not the turn of the ikshekiris...and many more. Why is it the turn of ibo when we have over 250 tribes in Nigeria? Why? Are they not human too? Why must it be the turn of the ibo? Have you not had your first shot in 1960? Who said you should waste it?
See, no one sends you. If you like change. If you like keep ranting on social media and keep hating Fulani and Yoruba cos of the APC union. You worked against their union for good 9 years, and you want them to hand over the seat to you. Clowns....Keep molesting girls in markets in Lagos. No one hates you. You must use your head and find a way forward.
Look at the hopeless candidates you are presenting: Orji Uzo Kalu, Pius Anyim, and who? Who can you compare with Yemi Osinbajo and Tinubu? So, only Anyim and Kalu are fit? The records are there. Orji Kalu should close his eyes and bury his head in shame. A worthless man who should be in jail by now. What did he do to Abia people? Exactly what? Agreed all of them are thieves...what did Abia gain for good 8 years that nuisa.nce ruled? You better wake up before it is too late. Very nauseating. You worked against the party and the man, and now you want him to step down for you. Very terrible way of thinking. Come on! You no dey shame? Upon all your chest beating, this is where you take land? Chai! Who willl take you serious. Imagine, instead of them to fight in PDP..they are talking rubbish. Whoever takes ibos serious too is a clown.
Na you vote in Obasanjo? Na you? Which Obasanjo did you support? Which? The record is still there. Obasanjo won via north neatly...and the numbers were shared between Falae and OBJ equally in SS. You didnt support OBJ.
In Yaradua's case, OBJ single handedly picked Yaradua. And your leaders were as usually money hungry so OBJ bought them all. You were bought and not that you supported anyone. Its money you went after. And naturally, when Jonathan brought the Ebele slogan you fell for him. Which time have you ever supported Yoruba, hausa, or fulani? Never. Na your game you want. Only you...you..you..you. your selfish interest only. Yes. I cant even remember you willingly team up and support anyone. Never! And then whenever you lose you always play the victim game. When did Fulani start getting powerful too? Did they play the victim's game with the Hausas when they were under the shadow of hausas? No, they fought hard. But you...na victim's game you dey always play. You go beat chests before election and cry foul play after. We know you na. Na your ways. Lol.
See eh..you will not seat in that Aso for the next 100 years if you are not careful. You all better stay united and be focused. If you want to join APC, then do it and participate well. If it's that ApGA you will do well, then do it. No one destroyed your APGA. In your greediness and the act of bringing yourselves down, you destroyed the party called APGA your warlord leader Ojukwu gave you. Na Yoruba destroy am too?
With this venom of hatred for Igbos, why do you still want to be in the same country with them?
You simply lack analytical skills and your points are not making sense.
The only yoruba son who has become a president in this democratic dispensation is Obasanjo. The record is there that only the North and South East gave him full support. You can refer to 1999 presidential election results if you want a proof.
So where is the political sagacity of the South West? Has Tinubu been elected president? Anybody can declare his/her intention to run. Osibanjo has declared his interest as well.
I urge you to see things beyond prejudice and your level of awareness, otherwise you may end up exposing your own ignorance.
The Igbos has not produced a president because of the civil war and not because of the illogical and incoherent statements you made above.
The North and other regions fear that an igbo presidency is an opportunity for the Igbos to pay them back for the age long injustice, exclusion, hatred and marginalisation against the Igbos.
The solution to this is for the igbos to think back home and develop their region.
Even if the Igbos present Jesus Christ as their candidate, Yorubas and other Nigerians would not still support them.
TooNoisy: I never for once believed Babangida Aliyu. The party has not made a decision to zone the presidency to the North, however the feelers from the party, especially during the conventions indicates the candidate will come from the North. The party will probably not zone the ticket and allow everyone to contest. The contest will be dominated by Northern politicians including Atiku, Saraki, Tambuwal, Bala Mohammed etc. Wike's goal is to be the VP to a Northern candidate, so he will back one of these people and Okowa may back another hoping to become the VP too.
The question is where does that leave the South East in the PDP. Will they be stranded again? We did not see any posters or banners for South East candidates during the convention and that says a lot about the intent of Igbo politicians. Okay who are the likely candidates from the South East.
1. Peter Obi - Peter Obi has not declared his intention to contest; however, since we know that Atiku, Saraki and Tambuwal are contesting, it is very unlikely that Peter Obi will contest. He does not yet have the clout within the PDP and certainly does not have the resources and alliances of an Atiku. Atiku, Saraki and Tambuwal have more clout and alliances within the party and he can't win a primary against any of these people. Secondly, the likes of Wike and Okowa will not back him as they would fancy their own chances of becoming Vice President, so these two will support a Northerner.
Peter Obi's best bet as we saw in 2019 would be for the party flag bearer to pick him as Vice President, and his body language suggests that is his plan. He knows he cannot win the party ticket. Even if the PDP were to zone it to the South, Wike and Okowa are way stronger than Peter Obi. Peter Obi's knows this and the best he can get is the VP, so he is patiently waiting for that opportunity.
2. Anyim Pius Anyim - I believe his candidacy is a joke - sorry but who will vote for Anyim? I believe Atiku is sponsoring Anyim to divide the votes in the SE wing of PDP incase an Igbo politician decides to contest. Anyim certainly does not have the clout, alliances and resources to defeat an Atiku, Tanbuwal Saraki. He cannot even contest against a Wike or Okowa. I do not take his candidacy seriously as I believe he is more a spoiler and will step down for Atiku or the Northern candidate when the party eventually decides.
I know there is a lot of noise on Twitter and Nairaland about Igbo presidency, but the Igbo really do not have any strong candidates. Who can win from the South East? Peter Obi himself is only hoping for VP but people here keep shouting his name up and down.
And please, the Igbo should just forget about the APC. It would be extremely unfair and a travesty if the APC gives the ticket to the SE. The SE cannot eat their cake and have it. Igbos have only shown hate to the APC; so you cannot now turn around and demand the presidential ticket. Igbos should stay and fight in their beloved PDP, but then, their chances are very very slim even in the PDP.
The Igbo should just forget about the presidency and continue to be the spoilers - meaning, if we cannot get it, let it go to the North because the Igbos would not get it. But the North themselves know better - that the North cannot continue to rule forever, so they will be wise enough to hand over to a southerner. The presidency will surely come south. It could be Jonathan, Tinubu, Osinbajo, or Fayemi but it is coming South.
Since you hate Igbos like this, why do you want to remain in the same country with them?
