post=112716713: You need to quit this hypocrisy of yours. Come out and say what you truly want so as to be taken seriously. You claim to be a proponent of One Nigeria but subtly take jibes at people from one part of the same country. No one would stop you from what you believe in but come out of your hypocrisy and say what you truly mean. |

Coldie: I'm not an Easterner and deep down I would want a Yoruba man. That's the sentiment. But for fairness, an Igbo man is also a Nigerian and at least they should be given this time. But the glaring reality is they seem to be unsure of their stance. Is it the VP spot, President or Biafra? |

ATLEAST UNA MOUTH PIECE DON TALK,una OBj AND HIS BRODA. BUHARI WILL BE THE WORSE UNPATRIOTIC NIGERIAN,IF HE DOESN'T ARRANGE THIS PREDIDNT ELECTION 2023 WELL AS USUAL AND Give IT TO A SOUTHEASTERNER. yoruba obj don do 8years two terms,Hausa Fulani don do 8years 2terms,southsouth don do.But southeast is yet to do even one year since 1967. constitutionally balance of power will keep nigeria united. Igboman should also learn his lessons that from 1966 violence to their current violence in east is not the way to go,because it is only losses it brings to them.e.g OBVIOUSLY THE SAVAGES AND UNSCHOLLED IGBO YOUTHS ARE KILLING THEIR KINGSMEN AND KILLING ECONOMY OF THE EAST. |

[/color] post=112716713:: IS IT NOT TOO LATE? I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. REWIND TO 2014. A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests. Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC. We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall. Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got. That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric. We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region. Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. Now after election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla. Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju. It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? On what grounds? On what records? On what politics? Is power given to anyone? Is it an appeasement or a gift? The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell. For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. We heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language? We really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us. We have learnt not to bother ourself anymore to avoid unnecessary arguements with nonentities As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.. Ka Chineke mezie okwu. Only a sensible person like you can ever see sense in this. Glad to see we still have intelligent people with a sound mind like you around. God bless you. God bless Nigeria. Only a foolish man will believe this your trash, a fallacious statement aimed to cover justice and fairness; Ogbonnia Onu the minister of science and technology was the party chairman of ANPP in 2014, he led to form the new party likewise Rochas Okorocha who led his own APGA party as the governor of Imo State. Ngige was a senator under AC, he led his own delegation to form APC. Buhari can't be president in 2015 if he didn't get 25% of south easterner votes. Stop this delusion, it won't favour you, neither will it make your own candidate president. |

And you're taking baba OBJ serious rejoicing mediocrity because he supports one region to produce the presidency in the 2023 elections,ask if OBJ ever love any other person other than himself talk more of loving a particular region, because he was to be that concerned of region he wouldn't be seeking third term in office after 2007 expiration of his tenure as the president of this great nation and if not for the resilience effort of Senator Gbemisola Saraki this man would have remain as Nigeria President till now and he wrestled power with his vice President till the end of his tenure. So this is preaching that the presidency should come from SE or SS for equity and fairness abeg make we yia word jooo |

olas24u: Check the lines of actions and see where you are running away from the truth,...what Nigerians (not Igbos ) are against is that we can't have a Yoruba Muslim as a President and also a Muslim as the Vice President...... Mostly atimes, Yoruba always like to play the game of reaping because they showed loyalty ( not minding if other tribes were killed or maltreated) and that ideology always push them believing they can bring up anybody and win because the FULANI man is supposed to support them. A case study of the claims TINUBU is exhibiting of recent.... If Igbos were partnering with the North since , I wonder if TINIBU is an Igbo man when he partnered with FULANI HAUSA as from 2015 up till date.... I asked you a question but you chose to run away from it as well...... |
