The Presiding Bishop, House of God Int’l Church, Athan Azubuike has claimed the Igbos will always play second fiddle and may never produce the president of Nigeria even when they have all it takes to lead the country in 2023.

The cleric said this at an event for young clergy in Owerri.

He insisted that the average Igbo man is a trader and not a politician as they do not have the skills to mobilise people at the grassroots

He said,” One thing about an Igbo man is that an average Igbo person is a trader only interested in profit-making, we are not interested in working. We are not interested in the grassroots. Once it’s a few months to elections, Igbo politicians will start visiting churches in remote villages, that is the sense of a trader,
not a politician.”



”Let me be very frank with all on why Igbos may never produce a president but play second fiddle by asking who is coming out in Igbo land? You’ll tell me it’s Rochas Okorocha, Anyim Pius Anyim, Sam Ohuabunwa among others but since Pius became the Senate President, how many times have you seen him and others in Imo State. The presidency is not a local government election .”


He said,” Today, people are talking about the 2023 presidency and I ask those Igbo politicians claiming to be interested in the race what have they been doing to galvanize the grassroots.”

He further queried,” Why is it that an Igbo man is only interested in meeting people only when it’s a few months to any election. It’s arrant nonsense. If the program organized by Mezie Imo Clergy Forum today was held in Yoruba land or the North, this place will be filled with great personalities but here the reverse is the case”


” A good politician works before he shows his ambition. A good politician works before galvanizing for election, that is why I said an Igbo man is a trader, not a politician.”

“As a presidential aspirant, you need to move around, increase your horizon and coordinate with other zones even before now.”

What the bishop said is his personal opinion.





They main reason why Igbo man will never be Nigeria president is because of hatred two major tribe have for them in a country of three major tribe.



These two people will choose Abubakar shekua of boko haram to be Nigeria president over a competent Igbo man.


Even GEJ suffered many unnecessary attack just because he have few Igbos in some important positions,had it been he have only people from those two tribe,GEj would have go for second term.





But the only good thing here is,as there hatred dey destroy Nigeria,e dey affect everyone not only the people they love to hate.

Nyamiris go produce president in year 4040. Nothing for them come 2023, nyamiris should senpe and wait till year 4040, we go consider them that time
Wailing wailers, you are free to wail

Must there be any reasons why they shouldn't provide the next president?

People like Bishop Athan Azubuike in the SE who are not economic with the truth makes me believe that we still have reasonable & responsive persons in Igbo land.

Well I guess it was Igbo leaders that were killed during the coup in 1966 and hausa and Yoruba soldiers were the killers.

The igbos hate every other Nigerian because they believe they are better than everyone. The igbos could not understand why leadership went to the north during the 1st republic forgetting that in democracy it's a game of number.


U spill the first blood and yet u still claiming victim?

“As a presidential aspirant, you need to move around, increase your horizon and coordinate with other zones even before now.”

IGBOS are too much to be DASHED NIGERIA. THEY MUST EARN NIGERIA AND THE PRESIDENCY.

You spoke out the Truth to them but they can never agree with you bcs they are Igbos. They think they know it all,they wise more but what they don't know is more than what they know .If you asked them questions they start insulting you .I had never see where they accept responsibility for their faliuors but they usually blame others.

Few truthful people from the east...

Hmnnnn........

This one seems to understand Igbos and Nigeria politics, igbos prefer Fulani to dominate them, they prefer to be second

I pray they don't kill this innocent man. He's one of those 1% igbo people with brain. Others are living in denial of self inflicted folly.

it will be much harder now after ipob....

ipob ist finished....

igbos have to start from zero again politicaly....

sad....

Investigative:

Ibos are very crafty they cannot be trusted with power...they will have it no other way if Nigeria can't unite the way they want it should divide...

I remember when they told us that Nigeria will be better on radio. The same way they told our fathers 70 years ago. We later started hearing vision 2020 in 2007. That was during Yaradua tenure.

Nigeria instead became a failed shithole

Investigative:
igbo will never produce president because Biafra will emerge

Yes! In the nearest 1000 generations....

By then Shekau must have taken you as slaves
Nigeria must have been cut off from communicating and traveling to other parts of the world like North Korea.

We will be singing and laughing and partying like South Koreans in Igbo country

But Nigeria is a real and recognised country that can get better. You can do your part to make it better as well. Biafra on the other hand, as your pastor put it, will come when Jesus comes. And we all know Jesus ain’t never coming, yeah so bye to Biafra, it can only exist in your dreams, so time to face your reality which is, you guessed it, NIGERIA!!!!

1967 - 1970 Ojukwu japaa to Ivory coast after encouraging millions of unlettered Igbo's like you to fought a lost battle right from the beginning & millions were wasted. Cownu is using the same approach that a former military governor of old eastern region used to know avail, please! park well

2015 Buhari promised to lead hopeless Nigerianstfrom the front against Northern Self-created terrorism.

Femi Adesina how far, when will Nigeria be better? Your great grandfather's were told the amalgamation of Nigeria is for better in 1914, your grandfather's were told same in 1960, your fathers were told that Nigeria will soon be better in 1999. You were lied to again in 2007

Today,you are lying to the current generation that Nigeria will soon better. Doesn't the audio bettering of Nigeria have particular date?

This should be retitled " why Nigeria might never elect a president of igbo extraction".

Please someone should remind these folks that Obama , the first black president of America did not have power of grass root network, Americans still voted him president

Unity begging is a disease. Your forefathers have been begging since 1914. Igbos did not want you, don't want you and will never want you. Do something better with your lives. Parasites
