Before the elections, you were not interested in Nigeria, you identified as a Biafran, you wanted Biafra by all means.

But towards the election, you suddenly became a Nigerian, and you want Obi to be her president.

Why did you forsake your long time Biafra struggle?

Ttipsy:
keep defending your ignorance
Tribalism and religious bigotry

Because they're the majority and they can influence anything in Nigeria.


Most of you from that side don’t know how ignorant you sound. Since when did Yoruba votes start becoming pivotal?

The first time a Yoruba man became president I.e Obasanjo was it Yoruba votes that made him win? No!
What about Yaradua? No!

When Jonathan won in 2011, did Yorubas support him? No!

Peter Obi was in an unknown party without structure yet he won popular votes in 2023. Was it not SE and SS that formed his base?

If Tinubu was in an unknown party without Inec connivance, would he win up to 6 states?

Your votes are completely diluted and worthless, so stop deceiving yourself.

Hahaha, the only cowards I know in Nigeria are those people whose spineless fathers were massacred by Dahomey ladies. As if that wasn’t enough disgrace, Fulanis also invaded their land and seized their city where they’ve been ruling them till date.

That, my brother, is the pure definition of cowardice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😩😩

Yes.
It's a matter of personality, calculations, hardwork, openmind, grace etc
I believe as a Nigerian becoming a president is not exclusive to some.
Even, if you are from the dominant tribes, you still need a measure of the above.
Believe in your self, remove emotions and sentiment, be calculative and logical then, it will shock you how easy it will look after achiving it

Jonathan wasn't from a majority tribe... Besides what do u consider "Majority Tribe"? Is it the three Main tribes? If so, then Jonathan wasn't from each of them

Jonathan wouldn't have been president if Yaradua didn't die.

And when Jonathan contested and won in 2011, he already had power of incumbency.


It was a rare occurrence.
Re: Can Someone From Minority Tribe To Became Nigerian President? by Zandena(f): 11:54am On Dec 05, 2023
The ethnic groups you mentioned are fantastically myopic and parochial, so they stands no chance at all and if it happened accidentally they will hardly last!
Ethnic groups like Nupe, Kanuri, Tiv are more liberal and accommodating, hence they can make a good president of Nigeria when opportunity avails them.

Someone from a minority tribe? It will be very difficult unless at least one of the three majority tribes stands by that person
Remove the 5 percenters.

And the next president after Tinubu is likely Shettima (kanuri) with Wike (Ikwerre) as vice. Both are minority tribes.

Doesn't matter if it was a rare occurrence or not, the fact remains, someone outside the three Main tribes became a president....

I don’t discuss such issues. You can do it with IPOB members.

A sensible Person will actually vote by competence not sentiments usually expressed by the North and south west during elections.

Tafawa Balewa wasn't from a majority tribe. Same as Gowon.

Yes you can if you can have good relations with all tribes especially Yorubas & Hausas. GEJ was from Ijaw which is minority to the 3 main tribes.

Hausa, Yoruba and ...? Which tribe do you consider the 3rd? One of Ijaw, Nupe or Kanuri should be the 3rd.

Majority of South East and south south people will vote for a person from any tribe

But you see south west and the North They always vote by tribalism and religious sentiments


Stop fooling yourself okoro. Ibos vote at the opposite end of whoever the Yorubas are voting. If the Yorubas are voting candidate A, ibos just look for the strongest candidate among the rest and vote him, even if he were an orangutan (actually, especially if he's an orangutan). All that bull about voting competence by ibos goes up in smoke when you consider you clowns voted Shagari over Awo, and Tofa over Abiola. Lolz.
