Atiku has promised to handover to his ibo vice president after his first term. If Atiku failed to secure PDP ticket, you must hold Ohaneze responsible for setting back ibo's opportunity till 2039.

OHAENEZE your people has 0.0 relevant in PDP and APC

Bakinwuta:
Just being curious, Why is the SE not making preparations on the platform of APGA?

Why is it they always insist on making demands on PDP and APC only,while allowing APGA remain useless. They hardly can influence much in the major parties.

Remember too that APC was built by an opposition in similar situation. Why won't SE do the same with APGA. Since they have alot more control over it and can get people to support the them. Instead of all this blackmail and threats.

APGA has strong roots in the SE , they should promote and build it. form more alliance that would work for them.

It's not impossible, don't forget at some point only Lagos and Osun were ACN/AD. Out of the parties , they merged with others. Today they are ruling even at the Centre.

Think about it o ! Than shouting wolf always

Alex Ekwueme; founding father PDP
Following Abacha’s death in June 1998, the government announced that democratic elections would be held the following year, ending 16 years of military rule. In preparation for the election, political parties were formed, including the PDP. Alex Ekwueme, a former vice president of the country, was the first party chairman.

Ogbonaya Onu ;Founding father APC

2010, as National Chairman of the defunct ANPP, he initiated discussions with the leadership of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria {ACN} on how all the major opposition political parties could work together to effect change in the politics of the country. Later he also initiated meetings with the National Chairmen of all major opposition political parties. All these efforts and many others, finally resulted in the merger of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Congress for Progressive Change, (CPC), and groups from the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), and the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP). Hence on July 31, 2013, the All Progressives Congress (APC), came into existence. Dr. Onu and other party leaders willingly gave up their positions as INEC withdrew the registration of ACN, ANPP and CPC. On November 26, 2013, the new PDP, broke away from the ruling political party and joined the APC. This helped make the APC, the largest opposition political party in the history of the country.

Some political lessons.

Igbo people of Nigeria were ranked as the most intelligent tribe of black Africa in a US academic report in 2015.

We Are Igbos - Bringing our people together!!! LIST OF NATIVE IGBO TRIBES FROM SOUTH EAST AND STATES OUTSIDE THE SOUTH EAST - SOUTH EAST 1Abia 2.Imo 3.Enugu 4.Ebonyi 5.Anambra. . . List of Igbos indigenous to states outside the so called South East of Nigeria. See below: . . RIVERS STATE 1) Egbema 2) Etche 3) Omuma 4) Ndoni 5) Ikwerre 6) Ekpeye 7) Obigbo � Opobo 9) Ogba . . EDO STATE 10) Igbanke/Igboakiri In fact most people do not even know that Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa and his wife are Igbo from Igbanke in Uhuonde Local Government area of EDO state that was formerly in Orhionwon LGA . The mother of the late Samuel Odaigbovo Ogbemudia is Igbanke! Most indigenes of this town just like Ika people bear hybrid names that most often could just jolly well pass as EDO because of their names like Nduka Irabor, Jim Ovia, Omorogie Nwawanne, Collins Edumaruse etc. . . DELTA STATE 11) Ika 12) Ndokwa 13) Ukwuani 14) Aniocha 15) Oshimili . . BAYELSA STATE 16) Osekwenike, Abuetor and Eke Okpokri villages, all in Sagbama area of bayelsa, are all Igbo of Ukwuani stock, and as such, are of the Anioma igbo clan of the Igbo ethnic group in BAYELSA . . CROSS RIVER STATE 17) ISOBO , even Liyel Imoke former CR governor and wife are igbos from ABI LGA – CROSS RIVER . . AKWA IBOM STATE 18) Ikot Udo Ika in Ika Local Government area of Akwa Ibom is an Igbo community. . . BENUE STATE 19)The Igbos in Benue State particularly those in Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs of the state were in existence before the advent of Christian religion in Nigeria. The Igbo found in Benue are: Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium, these are the people who would have been in present-day Ebonyi State but due to the fact that the Nigerian government then carved them into Benue in order to suppress the population of the East. Apart from the Ezza-speaking clan, particularly the people of Umuezeokoha that has over 300 villages, if you are to calculate the number of Igbo-speaking villages in Benue State, outside Umuezeokaoha, you would be talking altogether about over 600 villages. Three of the biggest markets in Benue are all in the Igbo-speaking part. The markets are Inikiri Ichari, Iddah, Iduokpe. There are also some Igbo speaking Idoma towns in Benue State. . . KOGI STATE 20) THE indigenouse Igbo-speaking communities in Kogi state especially in Ibaji and Igalamela/Odolu LGAs are Eke Avurugo community, such as Nwajala, Umuoye, Ubulie-Umuez, Ozara, and Umuoye and many more. © Alaigbo TV Me: Let's talk about this...have you been to these places and did you observe Igbo culture and language particularly in places on the list which exist outside the Southeast

You hate Igbos thats fine ;but we are indigenous in 11 states of Nigeria.
We are the engine room;the power house of Nigeria economy ;every nation heart beats; is there economic prowess and strength.
Igbos in charge of Nigeria’s economy’ – Buhari
“There is no town you will visit in Nigeria without seeing the Igbos being in charge of economic activities.”
Igbos are like palm trees in the desert. If you see palm trees, you know water is there. If you see an Igbo in a town, you know progress is there. Not as if they go where progress is. They themselves are seed of progress that yield harvests of progress.

To have a proper understanding of what the Igbo have achieved, consider that every Igbo man, woman and child in Nigeria was reduced to £20 after the civil war in 1970. But look at how far they have come since then. They turned adversity to prosperity.

No ethnic group are as Nigerian as the Igbo. An Igbo builds his family, his house and his businesses in whatever part of Nigeria he finds himself. They do not exploit other regions. They expand other regions. It is a disservice to treat them as unwanted.

Instead of making Igbos feel unwelcome, leaders should welcome them. Anyone who thinks the Igbo really want to break away does not understand economics. In 2003, Elrufai revealed Igbos own 73% of land in Abuja. Google it. That is commitment to Nigeria.

This idea that Igbo come to exploit other regions is unscientific. Igbos create value. They do not take value already created. Example, by opening shops, Igbos create value by meeting a need. Without Igbo, the price of spare-parts in the North will be x4.

It might shock you to know there are more Igbo doctors practicing in other parts of Nigeria than in the SE. Thousands of Igbos are battling Boko Haram in the NE. These are critical values. People who bring such value should be celebrated, not denigrated.

In my opinion, Nigeria made a mistake dismantling Biafra’s military industrial complex after Biafra’s 1970 defeat. The allies defeated Germany in 1945 but absorbed their scientists into their military industrial complex.

Biafra developed technology that Nigeria could have exploited. We have issues fighting Boko Haram because we depend on others for weapons. Biafra was surrounded, yet they made their weapons and refined fuel. Nigeria is not surrounded, yet we cannot make weapons or refine fuel! We could have been making our own weapons by now.

While I was writing this, I received news that Sergeant Blessing Onyekwere, a Nigerian of Igbo origin, was killed by Boko Haram as he fought to keep Nigeria safe. Blessing and others like him are the reason why we should do away with the philosophy of Lagos for Yorubas and Kano for Hausas.

‪I do not know if Igbos understand their power. If every Igbo man, woman and child living in Nigeria returns home for a year, the economies of five geopolitical zones may collapse. You cannot say this about any other ethnicity.

Treat Igbos well. Not for their sake. But for your region’s sake. A liability consumes more than what he produces. The Igbos are not like that. Wherever they go, they produce more than they consume. In accounting terms, that makes them an ASSET wherever they are.

Igbos only think they are being marginalised. If only they knew! God is using the marginalisation of Igbos for His purpose. I met an Igbo mayor of a major American city. Many Igbo are mayors/MPs in Europe. An Igbo is being considered as a future British PM.

Like Jews, the more you marginalise Igbos locally, the more they leave to thrive globally. It is the destiny of the Igbo race to restore the fortunes of the Black Race worldwide. Their crucifixion is meant to prepare them for their benediction.

Proudly Igboman.

Deadlytruth:
Let's even take it hypothetically that all you wrote above are true. However, the Bible says; "a little foolishness cancels out great wisdom". What made a mess of Igbos' in Nigeria and brought them into contempt in the eyes of all other Nigerian tribes and ethnic groups are:
1. Their planning and execution of a coup purportedly to rid the country of corrupt politicians but ended up killing politicians from all other regions while assisting those from their region escape to safety despite they occupied majority of portfolios in that allegedly

corrupt government.




Ignorant is

2. Being the tribe to introduce the abberation of military rule into an otherwise working democracy, and going ahead to be the first to tamper with the sacred and sovereign Independence which we all sacrificed and took pains to draft in an atmosphere of unanimity and agreed on a structure that guaranteed social justice, equity, fairness and replaced it with this present one that encourages entitlement mentality, corruption, non-accountability on the part of public office holders, docility on the part of the citizenry, etc.
These two acts alone put Igbos' across as a very dishonest and unreliable people who one cannot trust to keep solemn agreements.

Iyen na nice but please reject HE Atiku and those who will elevate tribe over competence and please ensure you vote for experience and competence.

Nigeria deserves a brilliant visionary leader who is an experienced public administrator and Patriot to the core. Asiwaju Tinubu is by far the best and if you truly want competence,I present to you Asiwaju Tinubu.

Asiwaju Tinubu is a brilliant visionary leader with the wealth of experience , education, sagacity, mental and physical strength, local and international clout and temperament to lead Nigeria to greater heights.

Please support and vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.

Donclaracuzo:
After reading this your trash, I found it unnecessary to respond to it but to put it clearly to you that ndi Igbo does not play clanish politics like the yorubas. APGA to ndi Igbo is not a national party and cannot pursue presidential ambition with the party. Also, you forgot that APC is an almagamation of both a faction of APGA and the rest. You yorubas only believed that it was only ACN that formed APC and forgot that an APGA governor was part of it. So, telling ndi Igbo to use APGA to pursue their presidential ambition is an insult to ndi Igbo. So, those who who sacrificed APGA mandate for APC should go to hell. Yorubas, selfishness and greed will not take you anywhere. After 2023, all of us will know, don't go about harrasing the north by doing what is worth doing by supporting equity. Ndi Igbo is for 2023 either you believe or not.
