CrazyMan: Bashir Elrufai is only making reference to what SE can offer his Party APC. And by the way, if we have over 3m Igbo in Lagos, how come the total votes from the 2019 election is less than 1.2m |

SeunTheOwner:Are you aware that elections most pooling units in Lagos with high Igbo population were disrupted? As for Elrufai Jnr I believe he wasn't referring to his party, he was referring to Peter Obi and trying to sarcastically explain why he should be ignored cos he wouldn't be a threat. 1 Like |

SeunTheOwner:The reason why you feel Obi isn't a threat in reality is because Nigerians vote along ethnic and religious lines. Nigerians don't vote a candidate they feel can change the economic situation of the country but someone from their place. In 2019, Buhari didn't participate in any presidential debate, it was Osibanjo who represented him in all the debates, this was a glaring red flag to Nigerians that Buhari has nothing to offer yet they ignored it and voted him. Today look at where we are. Desiel of about N200 is over N700. Inflation has risen to the high heavens, and all we can think of is voting another disaster next year....Chukwu hapụ ihe ọjọọ. And don't worry about IPOB, they wouldn't do such, in fact Atiku would secretly make a pact with them and promise to release Kanu if they stand behind him, so that alone would calm them down. 3 Likes |

CrazyMan: This is not totally true. People votes for who their local politicians presented to them. 1999 Obasanjo was presented as Baba Sorajo in the North and was voted massively. In 2011, I don't know how PDP managed to convince Nigeria to give GEJ 22m votes despite being a southern christian In 2019, Buhari didn't participate in any presidential debate, it was Osibanjo who represented him in all the debates, this was a glaring red flag to Nigerians that Buhari has nothing to offer yet they ignored it and voted him. Today look at where we are. Desiel of about N200 is over N700. Inflation has risen to the high heavens, and all we can think of is voting another disaster next year....Chukwu hapụ ihe ọjọọ.I don't know why you bring this into the discuss sha And don't worry about IPOB, they wouldn't do such, in fact Atiku would secretly make a pact with them and promise to release Kanu if they stand behind him, so that alone would calm them down. We would see to the above. It happen before in 2019 |

SeunTheOwner:We're saying the same thing...Nigerians vote based on sentiments or who they've been instructed to vote either by a religious leaders or a respected politician. If you can remember the circumstances surrounding the 1999 election you'll understand why the north massively stood behind Obsanjo. The north had been in power since after Ironsi's brutal murder in 1966 (that's 33 years to 1999) and Gen Abdusalam was very obvious of this fact that's why Obsanjo was specially handpicked by the cabals headed by Gen Babangida to rule cos he was in the military. The agreement was that after his 8 years he'll hand over to Gen Babangida, if he doesn't they'll use the military to overthrow him. Obsanjo being a military strategist knew this plan and retired all military officers from Lt Col upwards weeks after assuming office. Then ditched Gen Babangida and handed over to Yar'adua. If you can remember shortly after Obsanjo handpicked Yar'adua as his successor, there were some exchanging of words on the media between him and Gen Babangida. That was because of their agreement. My point is the reason why the north rallied round him (Obsanjo) was because they where told by their religious leaders to do so. And they felt voting him would ensure that power remains in the north after 8 years. SeunTheOwner:I have to bring it into this discussion because that's the basic reason why people are campaigning against APC. In 2015 I listed to tinubu's campaign in Anambra, Ngige was still a senator under APC then, he clearly told us that Buhari would solve all the problems Jonathan created for we Nigerians. He was so confident in Buhari's success that Anambra state had the highest APC South East vote in 2015. After Buhari came into power I knew things we're right when it took him over 3 months to name his cabinet. Today look at where we are. SeunTheOwner:It would happen. I'm hearing Atiku wants to pick Wike as his running mate. If he does that, then he'll have to look for a way to pacify the South East by ensuring block vote from SS and SE and to achieve this, he must promise Kanu's release immediately he assumes office. |

CrazyMan:If the East speak Hausa or Yoruba, by now they would have become president. Politics is a number. From North to West. That is the number they are playing. Nothing is ever wrong with the East, rather something is not right with one Nigeria. If Obi is Tinubu, rarely anything will make Obi not become a president. |

Because SE has no unity amongst themselves. They have not proven to be relevant to themselves. Always agitated without cause. They lack calm and political maturity. The reason the are seem like the Ijaw and Itsekiri ruffians in the SS. |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Feel The SE Isn't Politically Relevant? by tiger28: 5:50am On Jun 11, 2022 |
CrazyMan:The answer is simple! The regions with the major voting blocs that igbos have abused always will NEVER trust a President whose ppl are shouting Biafla Biafla, Burn the zoo bla bla. We all remember the taunts by igbo idiots in the north after they killed the Sardauna ( how dumbs)....many igbos were roasted and sent packing to their SE. |

tiger28:Your posts reeks of hatred towards the South East. 99% of those involved in the death of the Sardauna are all dead. The major curlpit Nzeogwu was killed in the crisis, the ensuring battle started by Ojukwu ended in a disastrous loos for the Igbos, Ojukwu is dead. So what's your point in bringing up this issue. 3 Likes |

SE is relevant. All you need is effective collaboration with other zone and show some form of stability. While I condemn the fact that the south did not micro-zone the ticket the SE because of their collective greed. I was not please by the actions of most SE Presidential aspirant in the mainstream Political parties. Dave Umahi (APC) and Peter Obi (PDP) were people I was looking forward to at the beginning of the contest. Others should have stepped down and project one SE person per political party. Unfortunately, the stories that came out few days to the primary for each of this candidate was very disappointing and left one with the question, is the SE really serious to be involved on national politics? 1 Like |

Grandkay21:I strongly agree with you my brother. Most non-Igbos feel that we Igbos are supporting Peter Obi because he is Igbo, truth is they don't know the Igbos. If you swap Peter Obi with Rochas Okorocha or Orji Uzo Kalu which are cabal slaves like you rightfully pointed out, you would see the outcome. According to INEC statistics, the south east had about 10million Registered voters in 2019, (the smallest in all the zones) I put it to you that by next year, that number would overtake that of the SS, NE which was about 11million and if possible the SW which was about 16million in 2019, considering the thousands that are trooping to get registered in the 5 SE states. Peter Obi may or may not win next year's election, but he'll send a strong message across Nigeria that no SE politician has been able to send since 1999 that we have a voice. And the SE would no longer be seen a politically irrelevant zone. 4 Likes
