Do not deceive yourself,the igbos are more close to you ancestrally,culturally,and politically,do not sell your God given right emotionally or out of ignorant.

DOTian:
They are powerful because they control the Armed Forces! Simple! People always misunderstand the saying "power comes from the barrel of the gun". But look at that deeply and you will see it is true! Power can't be enforced without reasonable force! It doesn't go more than that. Some of you are starting to attribute all sorts of extra terrestrial political intelligence to these northerners who in my own view, play very predictable brand of politics.

The best thing that the northerners did was to not fight the British so virulently as the igbos did. It made them trusted allies of the West post independence and they have been leveraging on that to solidify their political domination in Nigeria ever since, while the British provides them with the international diplomatic cover they need to do so. Have you asked why there is no term like "The Biafra Genocide" in serious international discussions, even when the killing of almost 5 million easterners in a space of just 3 year should qualify as nothing but genocide? It's the British working! And the North pays the Western world handsomely for this. That's why the British and the Americans own most of Nigerias Oil and gas deposits.

Secondly, you have to appreciate the events of 1966. For whatever reasons, the whole country joined the north to decimate the igbo domination of The Nigerian Army post January 15th coup. The north took over permanently and have been calling the shots ever since. The southern groups that helped the north to take over, became docile and just watched from the sidelines. And we had endless northern instigated military coups. These coups led to a litany of military tyrants who created endless states and local governments and government agencies and made sure that all favoured the north. They even relocated the federal capital to Abuja!

What you are seeing politically today are the benefits of these actions taken during the military days. The fake census, the huge Local governments and states that produce more delegates during election periods. The endless military and Police posts in the North and commanders of northern extraction, who will unleash force to see through any government policies that favor the north. That is it. Every major ethnic group that has dominated power in every country played similar games. Whether the Hutus in Rwanda, the quasi Arabs in Sudan, the kukuyis in Kenya or the ewe in Togo. If you want to change things, you have to find a way to uproot them, the same way the North found a way to uproot the igbos in July 1966.

E no fit happen to Igbo man.

Gba be!

Parachoko:
Some of you guys are clever by half.

So Nigeria started existing since 1999?

Any Southerner that rules Nigeria, and does not make restructuring his or her top priority, I will truly know Southern Politicians are weaklings and cowards.

Parachoko:
Some of you guys are just so funny

I have never seen you preaching to you Ibo brothers and sisters who have been saying if the major parties ticket is not microzone to the South East, then the North should continue. But here you are calling me an ignorant person Lol

The joke is on you though.

LordAdam16:
1999 marks the start of the Fourth Republic.

It started on an amicable note. The North brought Obasanjo out of prison and backed him to become the President. The understanding was that the South and North will rotate power every 8 years.

Obasanjo tried to play games in 2006 when he wanted third term, but he was forced to shelf that plan and hand over to the NW.

The current political fracas is because of Yar'Adua's demise. If he hadn't died, people like Buhari and Tinubu have no business being in the immediate vicinity of Aso Rock. They should be perennial INEC customers.

There is no credible reason why the Presidency should go to the SW in 2023, after they've completed 16 years in Aso Rock. The NC has voted for every winning party since 1999, they've not smelled Aso Rock. SE hasn't. But a senile greedy c*nt thinks the Rock is its birthright.

It is needless to cry for the hen that can't protect her chics from the hawk.You have no excuse because the south east has provided a veritable platform(labour party)to push in PETER OBI.

Parachoko:
Except for this presidential election Tinubu has engage himself in, can you tell me the position Tinubu has contested for since 2007?

Is Tinubu asking people not to contest?

Obasanjo had to compete for PDP ticket against men like Ekwueme.

Okorocha,Odili compete against Yardua and the others for the PDP ticket in 2006.

Okorocha competed against Buhari in the APC

Nobody is stopping South East Politicians from competing, why should Kalu step down and choose to support Lawan a Northerner while there was the likes of Umahi and Ken Nnamani contesting? How you guys are wailing this badly because Tinubu, Osinbanjo, Amechi, Bello, Atiku is exercising their right is so funny

Atiku didn't step down for an Ibo man in the PDP, he has not gotten the kind of hate Tinubu competing in the APC has gotten even though the APC has never won a presidential election in the South East.

Majority of the people from the South East once called APC an Islamic Party, how una don dey get headache right now because of APC matter is funny.

Vote whoever you want to vote in the presidential election, Tinubu won't step down for anybody.

He made it clear to the panel, except he is the consensus candidate, he is not stepping down for anybody


On Bola Ahmed Tinubu Mandate I Stand Gidigba

LordAdam16:
He wants to accept anointing oil as consensus candidate, but will not recognize another person accepting it.

He wants to rule for 8 years after SW has done 16 years in the Presidency, but he does not want another region to do the same.

And you get mind dey loud am dey form "I'm a Lagos-based Niger Deltan."

This kind of selfish, greedy Arrow with no regard for equity or fair federalism is who you want to foist on a diverse country like Nigeria. As if the experience with Buhari is not bad enough.

No worry, we will live long enough to see how this movie will end.

-Lord

Parachoko:
The likes of Amechi, Osinbanjo, Umahi, Onu etc agreed to step down for the consensus candidate, why have they not throw their support behind Lawan by now?

LordAdam16:
Did any of them say if there's a consensus candidate, they would not step down?

The governors are still playing spoiler. Consultations are still going on. When time reach those that want to drop will drop. Those that will decamp to vie elsewhere will decamp.

The annoying part is how you folks are talking about contest as if Tinubu is going for picnic.

Tinubu even becoming the President will not even be the end of the world. The problem is how he is going about it.

The NW have had 16 years in the Presidency and don't mind a SW Presidency because they'd have VP position for 8 years. Even if it is Muslim-Muslim ticket. If no one fights them now, that's how two regions will be rotating the top 2 posts in the country, while forming political sophistry.

Let Tinubu go to the SS, SE, NC, and NE and convince the regions why he should get 8 years before the other regions. Not to be crying it's my turn, Buhari is ungrateful, Osinbajo is a Judas. Then when the other regions connive to take it from his hands, he starts threatening to fight dirty. For this country.

His views are always pedestrian and lacking in deep thought and analysis.

Parachoko:
The Party Chairman already made it clear yesterday, Lawan is the consensus. Or did Adamu deny saying it?

Tinubu won't force anybody to vote for him today, you don't need to be going through this stress because of the Jargaban.

LordAdam16:
Stress ke. I'm not the one repeating "On Bola Ahmed Tinubu Mandate I Stand Gidigba" in every post.

Party Chairman and the Presidency have their consensus. Governors want their own consensus. Let the Governors finish their consultation. In 48 hours time, it will all be over.

You're the one stressing yourself out cause of Tinubu matter when you are not even a delegate.

48 hours you say? When we go know the winner before 12pm.

Stop stressing yourself because of the Jargaban.

Why should you be angry the Jargaban is saying he deserve to get his party ticket? Are you even an APC member? Wey you dey carry the matter for head like gala

Your own duty is to vote whoever you want on the election day, not to be angry about the internal politics of the APC.

Stop stressing yourself because of the Jargaban.
