Igbos Should Start Telling Themselves Truth by Ebubu: 1:35pm On Jun 08, 2022 |
You claim others marginalize you. Umahi State has 51 delegates but he didn't win all 51 as he had about 30-40 something votes and his fellow Ebonyian, Ogbonnaya Onu has 1 vote Imo state has about 80 delegates. Abia 51, Enugu 51. Anambra a little around 60-70. This is over 200 votes yet the SE candidates altogether didn't have up to 50 votes. Okorocha had no votes. So where did the SE delegates' votes go to ? But you cry you have never ruled this country ? But can not galvanize yourselves to ensure all your delegates vote your region. In SW, Bankole, Amosun, all resigned to support their fellow SW. But no Igbo candidate resigned to support another through strategic agreement. In PDP Anyim had only his states delegates. Abia delegates voted Wike, Enugu state delegates voted Wike. Anambra and Imo delegates voted Atiku. But you all cried powers must return South and it should even be South East You would like to say SE candidates are not a threat so why waste votes on them instead of giving it to a more likely winner and sign pact. No, you build on that loss, along the line other regions will aknowledge that strong man whom you all support and vote for him. That was how Buhari was winning his northern states and losing elsewhere till help came. I'm from Ebonyi state, but if i see anymore Igbo man claim marginalization on this platform, whereas the Igbo delegates do not support their regional candidates, I will remind the person of PDP and APC primary elections. 90 Likes 18 Shares |

The biggest shocker will come during the general election. You will see Tinubu winning Igbo dominated markets in Lagos like Alaba, Ladipo etc. Igbos are more concerned with business than politics. Not good in politics. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

That's the issue... Everybody is a don in Igbo land, nobody wants to settle for less, but in SW Jagaban is a kingmaker which you know, most of the People that stepped down for him are people he fixed in one position or the other, while others got miraculous alerts...!!

Ebubu: U don't know wat transpired between delegates and the se candidates yet u want to blame the entire lgbo race. Ask ur self why will umahi who personally oversaw the election of candidates in his state be finding it difficult to get their votes.

South East ought to be considered for President from both
evil parties that we have in Nigeria but NO. They haven't
played their card well.
PDP Primary says it all. Only 14 delegate voted Pius Anyim,
una own son from entire SE. What happens to the remaining
delegate votes? Atiku/Fulani man don buy am. If Tinubu
shows the tip of his dollars, una go still fall for am.
The ones in APCheat saw their SW brothers stepping down
for eachothers yesterday, about 8 aspirants from SE
contested and lost. Kai! Dem swear for una, can't you
harmonize like Tambuwa did for his Arewa brother.
You can cry for injustice till eternity, nothing changes until
you build bridges across the nation, foster sound unbreakable
relationship with your neighbours (SS & SW) and have a
formidable home fronts. Cry me a riveeerrrr...
Politics of hatred for one party (forgetting that all party
politics are the same) , abuse of whoever is not on same
page with you, "if I no get am, make e scatter" won't fix your
problem. Cry me a riveeerrrr....
Party politics no be container of shoes on high seas, no one
tribe can contest the aspect trade with you guys but a mugu
from any part of Nigeria can sink your container with a stroke
of pen when it arrives Apapa.
Common sense isn't common.
Only Rochas plays politics devoid of hatred, yet una no like

Tell yourselves the truth too. Igbo votes cannot give Igbos the presidency and others do not want to vote for Igbos unless its zoned to SE! Whats the point of missing Tinubu dollars just to prove a point? Ebubu: 8 Likes |

Nyamuriflathead: Very ironic They need to swallow their pride and play correct politics. Watch them return to insulting other regions and shouting Biafra should Obi not win.

You and your likes don't get it. Igbos don't play politics of tribalism like other tribes, especially the South Westerns do. And the Igbos request for power isn't based on tribalism but natural justice. The natural justice in this regard is expected to be granted by other zones before the primary election proper, which didn't happen, and that is why the aspirants from the zone did not get good or block votes from the delegates. There is no need to waste a vote that cannot guarantee a winning when it can be used to support a winner or someone with more potential of winning. The earlier you all accept that the Igbos are politically victimized for obvious reasons the better. And yes, power is given and not taken in a clime like Nigeria which is the reason why the Northerns in APC have given the Southerns the opportunity. Before you say that Igbos are emotional, remember that no Igbo man has exhibited the kind of emotion BAT exhibited at Ogun State, and rightly so, when he felt he was being denied his right. Until the majority of the Nigerian power brokers decide to cede power to the Igbos, they won't get it no matter how hard the politicians try. In summary, the inability of the Igbos to clinch federal power has nothing to do with them being ignorant about how to play good politics. I, OUK, and everyone in our camp saw it all before the primary election proper, which is the reason we took the stand we took, and we have no regrets. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Igbo Presidency can only be achieve in 2 ways 1-- By Consensus Arrangement ( Example in 1999 when it was given to Obasanjo ) 2-- By Creating a Solid Revolutionary Party like LP and expand it slowly it will take years ( Ojukwu created APGA for that reason but since inception selfishness have not allow APGA expand beyond Anambra state , it manage to enter Imo state and Rochas Decmap with ApgA mandate to APC in 2014 2 Likes |

Jajasabali:i am talking about the Igbo politicians in the major parties. Why can't they unify to present one candidate and why are the delegates of their own states which they selected, keep voting people from other regions ? Yet you should Nigeria is marginalizing you abi is it not your delegates that are marginalizing you ? 4 Likes 2 Shares |

The Nigeria state is position to make it impossible for an Igbo man to make any meaningful development on his own unless he kneel and get the consensus of other regions We have lowest local government hence why we have lowest delegates in every primary election We have lowest states hence in house of rep and Senate we are minority and cannot push for any meaningful legislative 7 Likes |

Whiteangel1234: In the absence of this, why can't the Igbo delegates vote Igbo politicians ? Over 200 Igbo delegates and all the Igbo candidates put together didn't have up to 50 votes. Why ? In PDP, Anambra delegates together with Imo voted Atiku while Abia and Enugu voted Wike. Why ? But you have candidates from your region contesting it. Why? 7 Likes 1 Share |

Whiteangel1234: There is nothing such as waste of votes. Support your candidate and make a statement, if he loses, he can support the winner. It is spirit of sportmanship. Osinbajo did it and still congratulated Tinubu. Besides if you keep doing this your way, you will NEVER have a strong candidate other regions will look up to. 21 Likes |
