Do you know what they call gang up?

Cromagnon:
We don't give
We allow free and fair contest and those men cannot win their house election not to talk of street

Emotions over logic. You guys can never get it right

YorubaDemonswag:
I swear with my life that I will vote Soludo, Umahi and any other Igbo that doesn't nurse hatred against my tribe,but you see that bigot called Peter Obi I can never in my life vote for him.it's suicide

Hunger and hardship will do the magic. It happened in Yugoslavia

flokii:
No amount of blackmail will get you votes.. how you folks fail to understand this is what I don't get. Y'all were busy insulting everybody thinking you can bully everyone into voting your fake messiah, shey una papa eyes don clear now?.

sunboy:
Next election is until 2027. Just saying.

2027 is only 3 years away.

Jostoman:
May be you can tell us about Obasanjo second term or are they still baby then also?

2003 was a no contest.

2003 is the worst election so far in Nigeria.......Mauris iwu and OBJ made it difficult for opposition party to even contest.

PDP won also everything and OBJ openly told us if you like vote if you like don't, PDP will win everything.

horsepower102:
Give igbos someone like olusegun aganga or Akinwumi adesina vs Rochas okorocha and orji uzo kalu and see who igbos will vote for.

Who go vote Okorocha or Orji Kalu nwanne, i no go try am

horsepower102:
That’s not the point. The point is that those who are desperate for their tribe to be president keep choosing the worst of the worst from their tribe.

Can’t they at least pick good leaders from their tribe?

That's still good for us , it's affecting all of us especially people like me who are currently at the bottom.

By the time, those leaders are done with this country; they will all beg for this country to be divided peacefully. Give it time, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu understood that Nigeria will never work because he already studied the mindsets of those at the top.

That's why he was so pessimistic about the fate of this country that he said Somalia will soon be better than "our" country. It's sad because I know innocent people like me will feel the heat but it is what it is.

So, let destiny do its job; call me a "saboteur" but I will never vote even if the candidates are all Igbos. Voting an Igbo man as president is obstructing our destiny as a people with common heritage.

the question is did southeast vote for Obasanjo in 2003 or not?

Like you people had any choice.

Who contested against OBJ in 2003

If you were matured enough then you won't even ask me this question.

Your votes were inconsequential then and even up till now.

i dont know why i dey reply you self. Bye bye

AgbadoDie:

Exactly my point. But the others will vote the worst of their tribe rather that vote a competent Igbo man. This is the damage tribalism has done to Nigeria.

horsepower102:
I will start by saying that when it comes to action, igbos will take a competent leader over their tribesmen.

The first elected mayor of Enugu was a Fulani man.

The igbos supported OBJ, Yaradua, Jonathan.

We Igbos have agreed that you have sworn to never vote for an igbo man. Ok thats fine. We will never change your mind.

But the least you can do is to provide a good and competent leader from your tribe. Una refuse.

Tribalists please give us a good leader from your tribe and we igbos will ignore your hate and vote for that person.

We care more about progress than spiteful tribalistic nihilism.

i wish I can give you a hug and 100 likes to this post

Jeans601:
Most of you are babies in 1999.

The election was between yoruba men.......you people didn't have a choice.

1993 election your people voted against abiola in an election between a hausa man and yoruba man.

This thread will clear your ignorance about abiola election

horsepower102:
Not true. You say this to make yourself feel better.

If that was the case why did igbos ignore Ojukwu and voted massively for obasanjo. This is documented history.

Igbos didn't vote Obj.. Obj rigged himself in
.. Stop deceiving yourself

Then what candidate did Igbo voters stand in long lines under the sun to vote for? A ghost?

This was just a ceremonial title Zik game to the poor Fulani man in furtherance of his national ambitions. I personally don't have any problem voting for an Ibo man or whoever sef, but you see that your neo-liberal, world bank, IMF loving Peter Obi guy, he's just as worthless as Tinubu and Atiku.

Key word is elected not appointed.

Don’t twist history

Elected? Who selected him to be elected in the first place?

Jostoman:
And they voted for Obasanjo

Igbos pushed edos to support Obaseki.. How far Benin or the support of Adeleke in osun.. How far osun state.. If una dey lie this lie.. Una dey forget say no be only una be igbos for this forum? Some of us know the selfish agenda..

Actually Ojukwu

Yeah i can. Myself.

Your state governors in the SE since 1999 who has been choosing them and why is SE not Dubai yet

Maybe Ojukwu is just a terrible man and politician

Remember when Ojukwu contested against a fellow Ibo man for senate he lost woefully

Jostoman:
And they voted for Obasanjo

Against a more competent Olu Falae

PROUDIGBO:
And what’s wrong with that position? Or you think Ndigbo are in this country only to be your ‘slaves’, service your interests and always vote for Fulani or Yoruba? Why is a Igbo not good to be president?

The emilokan gang, in making their case for why presidency should return to the south, said it’s the turn of the south after Buhari/north did 8 years! Note….they said south and not Yoruba/south-west! So we know they believe in zoning! There are three major ethnicities or political blocks:Igbo, Yoruba and Fulani/Hausa (correct me if i’m wrong on this), and since 1960, a Igbo has held the position of head of state and gov’t only for a few months during the Ironsi period! However, the other two major ethnic groups or political blocks have held at least two full terms in democratic dispensations, as well as produced military heads of state! Knowing all this, shouldn’t the other major ethnic group in the south have supported a Igbo they feel is capable as their preferred choice for the 2023 presidential election? Since they suspended their sense of fairness and equity, why then should any Igbo support yet another Yoruba (a muslim….and one with a muslim running-mate) to be president!? Do we look like dunderheads to you!? Did you read somewhere that Igbo were born to be ‘3rd class citizens’ while the presidency is only meant for the Yoruba and Fulani/Hausa!?

You claim this Tinubu gov’t is the south taking its turn, yet see as he pack Yoruba full everywhere!

Well elections are not given you contested and you lost

Obi contested against Tinubu and lost
Ekwueme contested against Obasanjo twice and lost

1993 election your people voted against abiola in an election between a hausa man and yoruba man.

They will tell you Tofa was more competent than MKO Abiola

What about his second term

dey there dey deceive yourself.

Jostoman:

So we should ignore 1993 where Ibos preferred Tofa over an accountant MKO

We should ignore 1999 where Ibos preferred a soldier OBJ over an economist Falae

But we should hang to 2003 where it was between 2 soldiers OBJ and Buhari? Both with zero antecedents

Jostoman:

You know u r d one deceiving yourself.. But continue

ValarDoharis:

Yup, democracy. Game of numbers but since your candidate is unpopular it is rigged in your mind
