Yes even in SS where I came from believe if not Obi let Atiku has it. Everyone mindset are Obi is better & is East turn, in other hand they expecting YORUBA to support Obi which majority of the learned/ Christian YORUBA's are silently supporting Obi but the online APC guys are making it look like Yoruba's are against Obi, las-las East & West unity alone will make North respect South and treat all region/religion equal

Balderdash and gibberish.. cuz you should ask is it not South south that betrayed the asaba declaration for southern presidency..

Mr Man obi can't win this election

I'm not tired of any tribe because I have never stayed with any of them(and I don't wish to)

I base in my region and I'm comfortable,if there should be any need to travel out of my region then I will be leaving the shore of the country entirely..

Just remain where you are but know that many people are not comfortable even in their zones. Why do we see whitemen in our land?

If Ibo had not supported Obj, the next option is still Yoruba.. so why making it look like you had alternatives!!

We will support Ibo too when there are no alternative!

TechW:

Is obj an Hausa man,? you presented two, and Igbo supported the one that had experience with executive powers. Atleast support an Igbo candidate for once because Igbo voted for obj instead of ojukwu

Ibo didn't support Yoruba, in fact they went against the popular candidate of Yoruba.. the electioon was between 2 Yoruba candidates .. if they didnt support Obasanjo, the other candidate will still be Yoruba, so stop twisting events!

Facts are sacred. In 2003, Buhari was propelled by the Hausa/ Fulani cabals to stop Obasanjo from having a second term. To achieve this, he needed the votes of the igbos in SE/ SS.

Hence he selected Dr. Chuba Okadigbo as his deputy. The igbos and their kins across the SS knew that Buhari is a Fulani and Islamic bigot hence they declined his overtones and voted obasanjo.

The igbos ensured that OBJ, a Yoruba man, was not humiliated at the poll. Had they voted Buhari in 2003, he would have defeated Obasanjo.

However when Buhari made similar overtones to yorubas in 2015 using Osi bajo, they fall for it and embraced Buhari. The yorubas betrayed their SE/ SS brothers that stood by them in 2003.

However when Buhari made similar offer to yorubas in 2015 using Osinbajo, they embrace it due to greed. The yorubas failed to reciprocate what SE/ SS did for her in 2003.

The Ibos voted PDP/Obasanjo because of National cake. They believed PDP would win. Why would they vote Obasanjo BECAUSE he is Yoruba?
When did that love affair start?
They voted GEJ in 2015 for the same reason which turned out to be a miscalculation

All the noise today is because Buhari has removed their hands from the plate

Brimstone77:
....

There's no relationship between igbos and Yorubas!

The only thing we share together is that country NIGERIA, dissolve Nigeria today and you will find out that we have absolutely nothing in common..

An average Igbo man will be more comfortable living or staying with a Ghanaian than living with a Yoruba man, same way Yorubas will prefer someone from bini republic to an Igbo man..

I wonder why people always believe we have anything together..

You and I know this is a lie.. It's just hatred and parochial interest that have blindfolded you..
We are far more connected than we are divided.. Silly primordial sentiments have blindfolded you because of some useless politicians that doesn't even care about you..

So the yorubas also voted Obasanjo in 2003 because of National cake?

In 1993, MKO Abiola ran a muslim-muslim ticket against Tofa who had an Igbo man as his deputy.

The igbos were expected to vote massively for Tofa since they have an interest in his ticket. However Abiola got over 40% of the votes in SE.

Abiola even defeated Tofa in Anambra state. Did the igbos vote for Abiola in 1993 because of National cake also?

Since the yorubas have been eating the national cake since 2015, they should also vote for the igbos in 2023 to have their share of the national cake.

ItsTutsi:

So because 2003 election did not favour your narrative, it means that it was a selection and not election.

The fact is that Yoruba has produce a president and vice president in this dispensation hence it is only greed and pride that is propelling Tinubu to contest for president.

As the leader of APC, if he loves the unity of Nigeria, then he should have endorse and support an igbo man to succeed Buhari.

The Iboes did not vote Abiola.Tofa defeated him in the SE
Yoruba chose Obasanjo over Buhari in 2003 because he is one of them no need to pretend but also because his main contender ,Buhari no structure in the SE
remember that in 2011 the Yoruba voted Jonathan and even Nuhu Ribadu performed better than Buhari in 2011. Buhari only made headway with Tinubu's support

Thank God someone said it
If you've been following comments and opinions on here on Nairaland Urchins have been firing from all cylinders against the whole Igbo tribe, it's no longer an Obi thing.
All the comments from Obedients has been against Tinubu (and a few others against Yoruba Muslims), believe me when I tell you this...alot of Igbo people against Tinubu is because of these pay per click Urchins he hired, their hate against the Igbo Nation is out of this world (especially @leoking formally @ simpleleo the fraudster) Me..I'm Delta Igbo and I will vote for Osibanjo twice before considering Obi.

It has nothing to do with tribe but everything to do with competence.

Osibanjo was the first to propose modular refineries which would've ended fuel scarcity and subsidy, if the powers that be had allowed him implement it. (As at date no candidate is taking about modular refineries). All the boys u are seeing in the creeks refining Kerosene will obtain licence and own their own modular refineries to produce what we use under global best practices and standards and pay taxes to Govt.

Secondly he nearly redefined Nigeria monetary policy and international business policy by proposing the Naira-Yuan(RMB) swap via Union pay...over 90% of Nigeria's Dollars needs is for imports from China. Why on earth do we need to change naira to dollar before changing it to RMB before we can get goods from China.
That Osibanjo's Naira-Yuan policy would've taken care of all our FX needs, but once again the power brokers and cartel from CBN that have been running Dollars organised crime visited Buhari with US emissary and that policy died.

My brother if Osibanjo had moved to another party like Obi did... my political group and tonnes of other Igbo groups will take it personal to make sure he wins, even with Obi on d ballot. We know Osibanjo and wat he stands for...wat does Tinubu stand for?

You didn't actually give reason for you not supporting Tinubu, but if we should look at it in terms of competency like the way you did with Osinbajo then

Tinubu was the first Governor to propose and build IPP this would have solve the power problem in Lagos state.

Tinubu was also able to increase the IGR of the state this is a major problem in Nigeria.

Tinubu also created the RRS which is seen as the best state sponsored police unit in Nigeria.

He also created a robust and vert efficient civil service.

He didn't have any problem paying salaries or have problem with labour unions.


These are some of the things we are currently facing so don't you think it would be better to vote someone who has done them instead of voting for one who failed in them.


P.S These is not meant to support Tinubu but to reason with you.

I want igbos to refine their character towards Yoruba people and everyone they have dealings with stop being betrayers, otherwise we will start pushing back and acting hostile towards you guys. Go back and retrain yourself, learn to respect and appreciate people who shelter you when you were naked.

Suit yourself. Are you not in Nigeria praying not to be kidnapped after electing Buhari?
Just be careful of what you wish for others, it has a way of coming back the sender, if it hasn't started happening in your life already.

Why then did the northern APC Governors insist that the party candidate must be from the south if Nigeria is not a "turn by turn" LTD.?

Why then is Tinubu shouting " Emilokan" if he and his Yoruba brethrens does not believe that Nigeria is "turn by turn" LTD?

At what point in Nigeria history were the igbos naked?

The igbos that produce the first representative of Lagos State in Nigeria parliament.

The igbos that produce the first Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan.

The igbos who PA Awolowo advices the Nigeria Government to seize their assets after the war and give them only 20 pounds but today they own more than 50% of the lucrative properties in Lagos .

I think it is the igbos that are covering the unclothedness and wickedness of the yorubas and other tribes in Nigeria.

No doubt Tinubu must've done some good while serving as Governor, at least I admire the fact that he was able to put together the best commissioners any government would've known. Unlike now that he's surrounded by sycophants, tribal bigots and terrorists (Shettima, Ganduje, El Rufai, etc)

Most of the policies and developmental strides u credited Tinubu for were opined by his commissioners as seen in the court case of Alpha beta Vs his then State Accountant General. On his own Tinubu is empty.
Personally I don't see much difference between Tinubu and Pablo Escobar, they talk dsame way with godly complex and emperor syndrome.
They both rode on drug money to become Senators.
They both assassin all opposing voice (Funsho Williams).
They are both philanthropists and heavy givers(as a matter of facts Escobar helped more people and built more politicians than Tinubu)
Unlike Escobar Tinubu got cleaned up on time but he maintains his ties to the street with his touts and hoodlum like MC Olomo.

Unlike Escobar, Tinubu found a way to realign his major cash flow by legitimizing money laundering and corruption by perpetuating himself as the overlord of Lagos treasures.
He has his hands directly and indirectly in every revenue source of Lagos State and Ogun state by extension. And he's ready to do the unimaginable to anybody that challenges him.

How on earth can we allow such a character near Aso Rock...to top it off, being a Muslim he picked a Muslim VP, at this critical time that all parts of Nigeria is boiling with Fulani causing mayhem, Haba!

I will pick Kwankwaso, Sowere before I ever consider Tinubu.

You have indirectly agreed with my point.
The Yoruba voted for OBJ in 2003 because he is one of them. They then voted for Buhari in 2015 and 2019 because Osinbajo is one of them.

Hence if Satan decides to contest for president of Nigeria today and make a popular Yoruba man his deputy, the Yorubas will vote massively for him.

It is that same bigotry and selfishness that got us into the Buhari mess. Majority of yorubas will again vote Tinubu in 2023 due to bigotry and selfishness.

In 1993, Abiola defeated Tofa in Anambra. You can confirm that. He also got over 40% in other SE states notwithstanding Tofa has an Igbo deputy.

In 2003, OBJ defeated Buhari/ Okadigbo and Ojukwu in all the SE states.

Ojukwu is a legend in igboland like Awolowo in Yorubaland. Can the majority of yorubas for any reason vote for an Igbo man contesting a presidential election with Awolowo?

Was Osinbajo the first Yoruba deputy Buhari used?
Guy you have nothing to say
Tofa defeated Abiola
Ojukwu is legend but could not win senator of Nnewi?
