Ndi Igbo are still suffering from the vendetta of the civil war, after the defeat. Nigeria feasts on Igbo resources. Igboland was balkanized to achieve this purpose. Most Igbo clans were forced to deny their roots, as to fit in and be accepted. The fear of an Igbo presidency reversing the injustice is enshrined on soul of the determinants of Nigerian leadership. The truth is they are scared an Igbo president can dare change the statuesque, and that is not what they want. The structure must remain as it is, so the resource drain can continue. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The reasons Yorubas and Northerners are scared of Igbo President is this: The North is scared that an Igbo President may end up splitting Nigeria, which will be a total disaster for the North who depend mostly on Southern crude oil. The Yorubas are scared of Igbo President simply because Yorubas know that the only tribe that outsmarts them in Nigeria are the Igbos and giving an Igbo man President poses a threat to Yoruba region economic dominance of Nigeria, as in Lagos factor. They feel an Igbo President will open up Southeast and Southsouth trade and economic channels to the disadvantage of Lagos the heartbit of Yoruba nation. Its all fear of uncertainty. They fear Igbo dominance of Nigerian affairs just as it was after the independence that Igbos dominated all sectors of Nigeria to the envy of several major tribes. They desperately don't want that era to repeat again. They know an Igbo President will correct a lot of injustices against Southeast region since the end of the civil war that reduced Southeast economic power in Nigeria, for example Southeast is the only geopolitical zone with 5 states. It is a generational hatred, they don't have any genuine or justifiable reason, just normal rhetorical excuses and fallacies of hasty generalizations. My own advice to the Yorubas is this, Yorubas have tried in the past to remain just and neutral in their affairs with Igbos and other regions in the past, but take it from me, if Yorubas dont retreat from this recent greed to grab it all at all time without considering equity, fairness and justice in the name of political sophistication or whatever they may call it, and decide that they can use the civil war and IPOB secession propagandas to demarket Igbos and cury Northern people favour and support and grab the 2023 Presidency, the same law of nature that balances life events and rewards injustices of human to fellow humans will raise a sword among Nigerians that will make that Yoruba man's tenure worst than Buhari's tenure today. In fact, what my instinct is telling me to say about the future of Nigeria after 2023 political higyhaga is scary and I don't wanna say it out for now. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

TheRealestGuy: I can only tell you from my personal experince this is not the case. I attnded an FGC and as such my old class mates cut across the entire nation from North to South. Just yesterday we were discussing this very topic and the 2 names that constantly came top were Osinbajo and Umahi. What's interesting is that the SE members of the group, actually kept quiet and allowed the rest of us to debate it out. Trust me there is a hunger out there in the country for COMPETENT leadership. If the SE can put forward candidate(s) with proven track record of competence, I can assure you they will be received well across the land. PS that means no Orji Kalu or Pius Anyim O! 1 Like |

TheRealestGuy: The enterprising and successful nature of the average igbo person is no doubt a cause of fear of igbo domination if they are allowed to govern nigeria. The only middle ground here still remains either restructuring or outright division cause am %100 certain this fear of igbo domination will definitely never their minds. |

franchasng: This is just self indulgent analysis How do you outsmart Yoruba? You always reason sentimentally Think about it like this. Objectively Why should a Yoruba support any one to be president . Fundamentally SELF INTEREST Any Eboe man wanting Yoruba Support for Eboe president has to convince Yoruba that they have something to gain from such a project. Historically we have neer been political allies and in the past when Eboes did not support Yorubas. NOT ONCE did Yorubas call them out . We simply understood their actions or accepted them from the perspective of SELF INTEREST Every one has a right to act in their SELF INTEREST If you have not succeeded in gaining support of other Nigerians it is because you have not provided a SELF INTEREST narrative That is the logical reality Deal with that reality and stop these childish sentiments What will a non Eboe gain from supporting an Eboe president That is what you need to think about selling since you claim to be good businessmen SELL THE EBOE PRESIDENCY PROJECT Right now it is not sellable and comments like this are counter productive Rather than couching it in terms of fear of your imaginary greatness try to think WIN-WIN What will everyone including Eboes gain from it and sell that 7 Likes |

bjdon:Igbos have more than over competent hands to rule Nigeria but the internal party politics which will be based on tribal sentiments and secession propagandas wont allow an Igbo candidate to emerge as party flag bearer of any major party and thats why Igbos are kind of screaming that competent Igbo candidates should be given a fair chance to flag their party tickets and see what happens. We all know that Nigerian Presidential elections are won from party primaries and most times the party primaries are rigged by the party stalwarts who are mostly incumbent President's mercenaries. Please note, Igbos dont want Orji Uzo Kalu Rochas Okorocha and some others. Igbo Peoples choice candidates are: Peter Obi Dave Umahi Dr Ogbonnaya Onu Ngozi Okonjo Iweala Kingsley Moghalu Osita Chidoka and many others 2 Likes |

aribisala0:Any rational and reasonable Yoruba man ought to know that an Igbo President will benefit Lagos State more than Aba or Onitsha because most prominent Igbos see Lagos as their second home. Most Yorubas, especially the nodowells online are so pathetic, tribalistic and hate filled towards Igbos. How many Yorubas own properties or investments in Southeast? Yet you nonentities hate people that cherish and accept your place as their second home. Igbos you fools hate dont destroy your land, they are among the forerunners of Yoruba region massive development unlike Fulanis you hypocritically love that dont pay for your land but take it by force and still kill your people.

franchasng:Define fair chance? You are given a fair chance by the constitution The reality is that everyone votes based on Self interest You can call it tribal sentiment It is the job of any would be candidate to convince others that his or her candidacy would benefit them. That is the Koko Self interest and persuasion. If I go to line up to vote in Kwara or Ekiti or Zamfara how does it benefit me to vote an Eboe person? I will vote because I BELIEVE there is some benefit not because Eboes have not had a turn Do Eboe traders adjust their practice so Hausa can also sell spare parts "FOR EQUITY"? 5 Likes |

JOemmy: Lol. You guys are offensively delusional and this is part of the reason you are detested. Why would a Yoruba envy any Igbo? What do you have we dont have bigger and better of? You are, in many millions, immigrants to Yorubaland. Yet you brag emptily and without modesty for what you are and your actual dependent reality. What would Igbos be today if confined to the 5 States of ala Igbo and denied access to the markets of Nigeria? Vis-a-vis Yorubas and Igbos, it is like saying the average Caucasian Brit envies Pakistanis because they have cornershops everywhere and are modestly successful. Is the average Brit not smart enough to know that if Pakistan is somewhere Pakistanis are running away from, to find success in the UK, then this illustrates the fact that Pakistanis are not competent nation builders? Which Pakistani, aware of the reality back home they have escaped, spends every second insulting their British host as Igbo do all other Nigerians? Only fools will envy Igbos. A people who have nothing, no culture and no 'anchors', and are entirely reliant on others for their sustenance, yet think they are better than all others. 7 Likes |

aribisala0:Stop quoting me please. Obasanjo was preselected by PDP party bigwigs, Ekwueme was just allowed to contest to make it look real to avoid raising eyebrows. Obasanjo was already selected next President to pacify the Yorubas after the Abiola saga. Ekwueme granted an interview on this. Who was OBJ that just came out from prison and had no money to win big politicians with money bags then. Yaradua was preselected by OBJ, but didnt stop Okorocha and co from contesting to fulfill all righteousness. That has always been the trend in Nigeria. Why can't same be applied to Igbos? Its not as if Igbo President will make me richer, in fact Buhari's tenure remains my most blessed years in life. I became more financially successful under Buhari Presidency than any other in my entire life so far. An Igbo President may even favor Hausas and Yorubas more than most Igbos, but what we are saying is allow equity, fairness and justice, Nigeria is a multitribal nation and only equity, fairness and justice can prosper Nigeria for all. Pls don't quote me again, I noticed you are an online political lapdog and an anti Igbo banter. Dont quote me pls, thanks |

To change that your politicians have work to do and that is work of 10 years not 10 months. All the threats and noise making will change nothing What you are telling us is BUHARI SHOULD PRESELECT AN EBOE CANDIDATE FOR APC Did you smell what you just said?

The fundamental issue is that Ndi-Eboe miscalculated in 2015 and must face the consequences of that miscalculation . They have also shown a profound inability to manage themselves with dignity or skill in opposition having always played politics of dependency on the centre . Eboes had no problem forming alliances with the North to exclude Yoruba in 1960, 1965, 1979 or 1983. They never knew there was anything like "south" in those days and no one accused them of "betraying" anyone. Go and work from opposition figure out how to form alliances with the NC, SS and NE just like Tinubu did . You will not get anywhere by last minute decamping to APC as far as 2023 is concerned you CANNOT get APC ticket and it is very dishonest to think you can get it? 9 Likes 3 Shares |

OP, you're dead wrong! The Igbos voted for OBJ for one reason only... To despise the Yorubas! The 1999 election fielded two Yorubas, Falae and OBJ. While >95% of Yorubas voted and supported Falae, the Igbos did exactly otherwise to spite their fellow Yorubas. The Igbos have always have this hatred for the Yorubas and would do anything to oppose whatsoever the Yorubas support. Now, you know how the Igbos are the definition of hate.
