Let me make it clear today, the reason why I am strongly supporting South East particularly Peter Obi is for justice and fairness.

I am a Yoruba and proud at that, but I won't let sentiment override common sense.
Obasanjo did eight years, Osinbanjo eight years, and you said another westerner should continue while you screem fairness?

Let your conscience speak to you.

Realadey:
Hmmmm, but some people think that will come for them on a platter of gold.
Politics is supposed to be played with fairness and equity truly, but do your people work for it? It doesn't just happen overnight senator.

Miracle2022:
Other serious politicians are patrolling the whole country seeking votes from the delegates,while igbos are sleeping waiting for presidency to be given to them.
Una go wait taya.

By sharing bags of rice and millions of naira right?

Unfortunately for the Biafran monkey,no party will ever zone their presidential ticket to the South East.

timilehin007:
I'm a Yoruba and it's evidence in my name.. it's total injustice to always corner the East in politics... let's call a spade a spade, if this was happening to yoruba or Hausa this hatred or whatever ill-attitudes the East exhibits, the other region expeciallly Hausa would not mind to burn NIGERIA down with their born to rule mentalities...I don't understand how these people comfortably and wit no inch of conscience thinks it's okay to make one huge region a 3rd class citizen and you expect them to embrace one stupid and corrupt
Lord Luggard contraption God forsaken country... you are throttling their political power to not accelerate beyond senate in federal level and you expect them to not want to leave ...let them go you say no..I have no connection with Ibo, matter of fact, I've never been to East but I'm just trying to imagine a turn around table, how would you feel as yoruba or Hausa... in fairness all political parties should zone that presidential slot to East...fuvk Atiku, fuvk Thiefnunu, fuxk Oshi-gbajo, fuxk all the other aspirants from other regions excluding the ones from the East

You go cry tire, your tears just started. Nobody will dash SE the presidency, work for it or you can keep wailing

Beress:

yes! Tell Peter Obi to go and share that money that he stole from Anambara.

The igbos should all support the SECESSION if denied presidency period


The westerners are short brained I'm sorry, thanks to baba adebanjo he is aging and having sense where were obasanjo in 1999? the presidency was micro zoned to the west against the popular EKWUEME, IN 2011 the south south had there chance in 2019 it was micro zoned to the north so why won't it be micro zoned to the EAST IN 2023

Is your brain working at all? If it was microzoned to the West, how come Ekuweme congested in the election?

If you don't have a PVC, then you're a fool! I hope you know that? Let your vote do the talking. Vote anyone from the East, it's your right to do so.

But let me remind you that power is not given to anyone, never! It is taken. If the Igbos ever thought they could get anything by playing politics of hate, or practicing exclusivism, then they're in for a huge surprise. You cannot insult me, call me names, then expect me to support you to become president. You have to earn it!

BigIyanga:

But somebody dashed OBJ presidsncy even when his kinsmen rejected him?
Someone dashed GEJ presidency even when they had other candidates??

Who dashed OBJ presidency? You better stop saying nonsense...

prince57:


Don't mind them. I'm encouraging the igbos my people to vote enmass anyone from the North that can beat Tinubu, Osibanjo, Wike & even that efulefu called GEJ cuz he is not a full-fledged igbo man. I don't care. This is not me being a tribalist but that's exactly the language other southerners understand. We should form an allegiance with any Northerner who can deliver.

Your vote in southeast is inconsequential in the scheme of who become president in Nigeria.

While you're forming allegiance with the North with your 5 percentile, they're forming allegiance with the SW. You see how foolish you are? You think the North will abandon the SW because of a small you?

LordKO:
That's the most honourable step to take given that politics of tribalism and/or prejudice takes precedence over politics of principle and conviction in the country - no wonder the country is in shambles.

Politics being a game of numbers, it makes no sense for someone from the South East to waste his time and resources contesting for the office of the president of the country under the present configuration and mindset of the majority of the citizens, unless it's microzone to it, since the majority of the voters from the areas that have the larger voting strengths are consciously and unconsciously prejudicial against the people of the zone - only a fool will not acknowledge this.

Quitting the race won't be because he lacks courage and other personal wherewithals required to see his aspiration to fruition, no, but because the majority of the voters are imbecilic, small-minded, and foolish in general.

In a country where small-minded elements and foolish elements in general are in the majority, expecting them to subscribe to politics of principle and conviction - the hallmark of sane people and voters - is like expecting a horse to pass through the eye of a needle.

So, what you're saying in this epistle of yours is that the presidency should be micro-zoned to the SE. Has it ever happened before in the history of this country? After throwing stones at the APC and calling the SW slaves, you expect them to offer you the presidency on a platter of Platinum? You're a joker!

If you keep practicing politics of hate and bigotry and not allegiance with the other geopolitical zones, you'll keep getting sidelined. Hood on to your PDP and APGA and stay there.

prince57:


Oga, fear God. Don't say we didn't contribute anything. Acn was a formation of new pdp, ac , cpc, apga & anpp. Two out of those parties were igbos.

What nonsense are you saying? Are you drunk?

Are you being serious right nowApga win presidential election...all those rubbish was for clout chasing............... election you no go still win

Come on, being a bumpkin isn't a reason enough for you not to know your mates and engage them in your small-minded thoughts. Now, scram and direct your further mention to small-minded elements like you.

If it's through working for it OBJ wouldn't have gotten ,an Ekwueme of blessed memory worked so hard before the entire nation decided to zone it to SW.
In politics majority carries the votes, if it is thrown open North will be having back to back

Very excellent analysis, Kalu is a seasoned politician cum business man, one can't just be wasting his money on a futile mission.
Nigerian level is still the level of tribes, religion, region that's why candidates coming from the angle of adding value, bringing innovation, changing things will find it difficult to fly
If you must thrive in politics you must put all these factors into play.
For me it will take a very long time for Nigeria to start getting selfless leaders

That's what hypocrites always say which work did gej and his ijaw people did before the presidency was given to them?

Moferere:


1. Did Humphrey Nwosu declare a complete result till tomorrow?

2. Read about Victor Banjo and Emmanuel Ifeajuna and revert

How many of your sons can announce the results of a presidential election against the dictates of the government that appointed him?

He announced half of the results and was waiting for the rest to come in from the remaining states when the then Armed Forces Rulling Council nullified the results through a broadcast by Ibrahim Babangida. How is that his problem? Not sure you have stopped wearing pampers by then otherwise you can't say any bad about Humphrey Nwosu..

You want him to stick out his head and die for your man, but you won't talk about your utterly corrupt Obas and Onis, who went to Aso Rock to take bribes from Abacha while Abiola died in jail...

Oga, fear God. Don't say we didn't contribute anything. Acn was a formation of new pdp, ac , cpc, apga & anpp. Two out of those parties were igbos.

Okorocha (APGA) and Ogbonaya Onu (ANPP) were the only Igbo extract in APC at the start and easterns treated them like an outcast because they joined APC, before others started joining the party recently. In the previous elections APC did not have 25% votes from the east.

Yes an easy win for us truly but anytime it return to south,it will be between south south and south west,no Emeka will ever rule Nigeria.

For where.. SW/SS no go test am in the next 16yrs.. Middle belt next

nothing like middle belt, na North una be still,

You claimed not to allow sentiment override common sense but in the real fact there's common sense in what you said. Democracy is a game of numbers. It's not traditional title. You must learn to bargain and negotiate. Two regions in the northern part ever produced president till date. Now a region that sees being diplomatic as being stupid wants to become president. We have two major religions in the country Islam and Christianity. And this particular region demonizes Islam. How can they produce the president. They have issues with ijaws and Yorubas. Na only Dem Waka come? They even have to threaten the whole country, who does that? Until they sit back and strategize nothing is going to happen.

We can't be hiding the truth. Let us be honest to ourselves the Igbos are the people who spoiled Nigeria. From the first coup that was when Nigeria scattered. They should try to clear the things they did in the past. The minorities then in the Eastern Nigeria being the people from South south and south west are not happy with them because they totally marginalized them occupying every positions then. For the South South and South west coming out massively to contest the presidency shows that they have woken up.

If you are truly a Yoruba U spoke well. I am Igbo but in all sincerity I prefer a candidate from any zone or party that will make every citizen benefit from the dividends of democracy. I am tired of the rot in Nigeria. My choice of candidates in this order, Obi, Osibanjo, Amaechi.

Tunjingwu:
you guys say some of these things and we stand hands akimbo watching the level of hatred and hypocrisy in you.presidency is not given,it is taken...bla bla bla bla...yet you lots are saying zone it to the south.If you say the north has been for eight years and it's the turn of the south,can you not extend that argument and say that the southwest and South south have been there and it's the turn of the southeast.

Don't mind the hypocrites. If the south East cannot take it, then let it remain in the north!
