ElSudani:


I am scratching my head trying to find all the good leaders you have supported.

Under the extenuating circumstances found in Nigeria, you may agree with the fact that mediocre leaders have ruled the country perhaps since independence. At least, at national level. IGBO, like most Nigerians are offered the bad and the worse so we've natural gone for what Nigeria offers. At least, we have never supported Buhari since he's been picking deputies from Igbo people. When Nigerians refused to heed us, the consequence was glaring enough that today you buy naira with naira despite crushing economy and non-existent security.

omonnakoda:
There were two candidates in the election
So it is either win or lose
Tofa defeated Abiola in the SE.
Abiola lost

U chose to respond to just one of my line of thoughts, this shows your earlier position doesn't hold water

Have a great day

Yorubas, Igbos, Edos, Tiv and all Nigerians will vote Obi enmasse. Obi will either win in Lagos or come very close to Tinubu

It is not a thing g to be argued about especially when we don't have to wait much longer. The Yoruba I know will not vote Obi for two reasons
1. He is Ibo and Ibos have made it clear that they are exultant if Yoruba are in distress or let me borrow from Wike
As e dey pain Yoruba e dey sweet Ibo. Some are even saying when he gets there he will kill Lagos
Remember this? https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan
2. On a practical level,politics is business
What will Yoruba gain from an Obi presidency? What is the Value Proposition?Does Obi know what Yoruba priorities are?

omonnakoda:
I did not say what I want or don't want.
I am saying what will happen
It would have been an exercise in self deception in November last year to pretend that Qatar would have won the World Cup

I do not see any logic in your question how is voting based on ethnicity a corollary of people destroying an ATM machine?The point you are trying to make is trapped in your mind
You need to communicate it

I hope we dont make a mistake that we would never come out from. Your analogy of qatar is not even close to this political dispensation. You saw the guy that was naked in the bank, I am just wondering on 25th he would dress, stay in the queue and vote apc. Then when you ask him he would say apc built light in my compound in the south west but the decision that was taken in abuja is affecting him, he cannot even withdraw his own money.

omonnakoda:
I cannot imagine Yoruba voting Ibo when there is an alternative that is not Ibo who has a realistic chance
Ibos have never voted Yoruba when there was an alternative with a chance of winning
They voted Tofa instead of Abiola
It was an Ibo that went to court to notch June 12
They see us as eternal enemies
They have already said if it is not Ibo let Fulani have it when They should be our position

Nigerians have moved on from little minded tribalism..

Go check 1993 elections son..

Get education and stop showing ignorance

What do you think the average youruba prioties are and not as a tribe. For example, if I build all the roads in the west, people are happy right but if the road in adamawa is bad they would leave there and come to the west to live. When an adamawa indigene comes to the west, he might some day become a burden to the yoruba man. Then what happens war and strife. A case in mind is lagos. We need to level up the country. Development should spread.

Abiola lost in the SE to Tofa

anambra and ebonyi voted abiola then based from your data.

LegendHero:


OBJ was not Yoruba candidate in 1999.

Yoruba voted Falae who was our preferred candidate.

They voted against our candidate out of spite.
Whenever next there are only two presidential candidates in Nigeria and both are Ibo
We promise to return the favour
It is now up to them to figure out how to make that happen

And this rubbish will make Yoruba vote Obi instead of their own
If Tinubu said the same to Ibos will that make Ibos vote him?
Reality is what it is
Obi has not said anything to indicate he understands what Yoruba need
I do not even believe he understands what Iboes want?
Our priorities are restructuring Nigeria not levelling up
Those who want Sharia should have it those who want to sit at home should be given chairs
We do not believe in the presidential system. We want to return to Regionalism
Let accountability be local not in Abuja.

jesmond3945:

yes and the North West
What is your point?

Your reasons are nonsense, Nigerians are united in suffering and will vote Obi to turn things around.

Your attempt to make Obi an Igbo candidate is self deceit, you know the truth, however,
if you dont then your ignorance will be cured on Feb 25th

Yoruba emotion is not inclined toward Iboes in politics
This is reciprocated

i should be asking you that. If northwest didnt vote abiola, then why are not getting the stick just like the south east?

Ibos are definitely united in hatred for Yoruba.

then you dont expect other regions to vote tinubu. But know that whatever in the east also affect the south west and vice versa. You know there are many yorubas working in the east. Regionalism will be good, if you can tell yorubas in ph or owerri or enugu making cash or even warri to go back to ogbomosho. Finally, know that posterity will judge the west for their conduct in this election. Ask the fulani man how far

then thar would be the bane of the tribe. Remember there are 250 tribes.

You seem to imagine I am supporting Tinubu
That is a wrong assumption
Now you are talking like an idiot
Why should Regionalism mean. Yoruba should return to Ogbomosho?
There is nothing more special about this election than June 12
What role did Ibos play in it or the annulment?

Listen to Obi's campaign...doesn't mention Tinubu. Listen to Tinubu's campaigns, mentions Obi all the time!

There's no evidence to your allegation at the highest level but rather, the reverse is the case

Your point? Both men have only one vote.
I will not get drawn into defending Tinubu

Fact is I have never seen as much hatred as there is between Ibos and Yoruba overtly in any election
To say otherwise is dishonest
I believe the voting will be very ethnic
That is my opinion
You On the other hand assert your opinion as if you are God saying Obi will win
That doesn't indicate a realistic or open mindset.
Note I have not said who will win but based on numbers I believe likely there will be a runoff which Atiku will win
Again belief/opinion

Even you is not drawn to Tinubu so i wonder why you want Igbos to like him

You are always emotional and irrational.
Talking like a child

In the last 23yrs of Nigeria leadership, Yoruba was president for 8yrs, vp president for 7.5yrs now, Tinubu is national leader of the ruling party, where is the restructuring? Why haven't they restructured?

You're looking for excuse. Your only reason for pushing for restructuring is to reclaim Lagos but lets face it, Lagos even in a restructured Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians equally because our resources developed Lagos

You have equated Yorubas to Tinubu na.
Igbos did not like Bubu because of his incompetence but you yeye people said we hate Northerners even though we voted massively for Yaradua and Atiku. You wquate Bubu to Northerners.

Thats what you guys always do.
Afenifere and Obj endorsed Obi, didn't they see Tinubu?

You don't know Yoruba interest even though you're Yoruba. Yoruba interest is a united Nigeria and thats why you elders are pursuing equity to keep Nigeria united

Guy watch your language
Can see you are running out of logic and want to roll in mud like a pig
All I have said here is simple
On February 25 I believe Yoruba will vote Yoruba and Ibos will vote Ibo
That is my assessment which I am entitled to I am not God but that is what most people I know believe
Now it is so close there is no need for argument let us wait and see

I asked before you dodged
Have you never said on Nairaland that if Ibos cannot get it Fulani should?
Yes or no?I

And if yes why should Yoruba Not have a similar stance?
