Military never wanted Falae, the only person they wanted was OBJ. APP merged with AD being the stronger party and then produced the presidential candidate. Falae was more influential than Onu at the time.


Young man, you know absolutely nothing about what you are talking about please.

Simply read your books on the history of party politics in 1998/1999. Read about the parties, PDP, APP and AD. Read about major players across all parties. Read about their roles, plans, achievements and successes. You can also ask those who know it more to explain it all to you. It is not a crime to do so.

That way you can be better informed.

True..

Onu was the originator of apc.

He technically removed PDP from power with his proposal of forming a merger mega party apc but the crefit of forming apc has been stolen and given to other people with propaganda.

Trash. You people and lies are like siamese twins

That has been the fate of Igbos since the end of the civil war in 1970.


Dr Alex Ekwueme, the first civilian vice president in Nigeria was about to become President after Shagari's tenure in which Shagari confessed that his vice Ekwueme was an excellent man that would succeed him, but as usual, the Northern military boys who played role in the 1966 counter coup that swore that it's better a mad man rules Nigeria than for an excellent Igbo man to emerge Nigeria's President truncated Dr Alex Ekwueme's clear chance of emerging President through Maj. Buhari's led coup.


They did same to Peter Obi after he won the election before everybody's eyes yet they will be foolishly praying for Nigeria to become a great country and expect everybody to be patriotic despite being leaders of unpatriotism, division and nepotism in Nigeria.

Na here we de observe una sha.


RIP Dr Onu, history will remember you for good cry

Point of correction: Peter Obi won online elections on false polls but woefully lost on the ballot.

Late Ogbonnaya Onu was a first class graduate, but he wasn't a spectacular civil servant. As a science and technology minister, he was busy talking about when Nigeria will start producing ordinary pencils.


Please we don't just need anyone bearing Igbo names to add to the litany of problems we are already dealing with in this country.

We need outstanding Igbo administrators like Peter Obi, Dave Umahi and Alex Otti to show Nigerians what an incompetent president should do for the people.

RIP to Engr Ogbonnaya Onu!

Remove Peter Obi from that list, and add Soludo, tested and trusted by all tribes.

I dont know if you are just being mischievous or have limited understanding of Nigerian Politics. Truly Onu is of the opposition block (APP, ANPP and later APC) he stood firm but reason critically, when APC was formed, how much political and electoral value did Onu's constituency the South east contribute to the success of the Party versus the southern candidate that finally emerged.

The big question should be why did Igbos not get the ticket in PDP where they have slaved and aligned since 1999, why didnt they rally round and speak with one voice behind Obi to get the ticket in PDP

Why do you like blaming others for your lack of political tact and coherence
I love you!


I am always happy whenever I see someone demystifying Igbo VICTIM MENTALITY,HYPOCRISY AND MANIPULATION.

See as they are projecting their people dumped in APC they never supported as a victim while keeping quiet about PDP/ATIKU who used and dumped the whole race!....They worshiped PDP without nothing for 24yrs,No landmark project and no presidency

No way Onu could have won anything in 1999, even the alliance between AD and APP got like 13m less votes than PDP. Is Sani trying to say APP alone could have won the election or what? Plus Onu was not known outside the SE, even now, many people have never heard of that name before.

Don't mind that denile Shehu. He is beginning to suffer from diminishing returns and the gullible goons are slready echoeing his fallacy.

That is how your Yoruba fathers have been lying to you about Omo Igbo from birth, feeding you young hateful Yorubas with lies just to make you hate Igbos and live in perpetual fear of the great Igbo people, continue, na so your forefather and father did and ended up peasant poverty ridden cocoa farmers who lived and died in Ikirun cocoa farm cheesy

Ogbonnaya Onu is a classical example that no Igbo man will get anything from this people by remaining in servitude to these people.

When they make those stupid assertions like “if Igbos want power they must align with the center…they have to vote APC”, I just laugh. Because what they are doing is asking you to come and become their next useful idiot.

Onu has been with these guys since 1999. He never defected. He closest friends and allies were northerners but what did he gain at the end? Tears!

I saw him crying like an infant suckling his mother’s breast during the APC convention and I couldn’t help but cringe. Nobody acted like he existed. When he was done wailing, he left the stage in shame.

Orji Uzor Kalu who has equally been slaving them since 1999 equally ended in tears when he was crying like a little child they took her biscuit at the floor of the National Assembly.

Rochas Okorocha nko? They humiliated him until he respected himself and went and hid in shame. Despite his servitude to them, they sent EFCC to go and remove his zinc and capture and humiliate him like a common criminal.

Umahi is on same trajectory and I can already predict how it will end for him - in tears.

And I see a lot of people who claim to be Igbos fooling themselves here in the name supporting APC; toeing the foolish path of the fools before them and I always laugh at them.

Igbos will never gain anything being of servitude to this people.

If you don’t learn from history, you will just end up as just another historical specimen.


Shehu Sani is playing with your head and you’re already doing atilogu dance for him in the market square. Ogbonnaya Onu is a good man no doubt. However, he stood absolutely no chance of winning the 1999 presidential election. He won the APP presidential primary because northerners were not interested in the ticket and the party leaders already had an agreement to field a Yoruba candidate from AD. The APP primary was simply a joke that was done to fulfill all righteousness. Everyone knew the winner of AD’s primary would fly the flag of the APP/AD joint ticket.

Or you don’t think the Southeast, where’s he’s from, is where the Southwest was in 1999 when stakeholders came together and conceded the presidency to them?

Do you think there was anything the Southwest could have done had the military done otherwise except to continue to burn their region?

You young Yorubas have been so lied and fed Igbo hatred by your demonic parents who started hating Igbos out of envy that Igbos dominated virtually every sector of Nigeria by merit before and after independence.


Always look for a source that is not from Yoruba or Igbo concerning anything negative your Yoruba parents and media tell you about Igbo, it will open your eyes to know that you have been foolishly hating and propagating hatred against Igbos that did you no wrong.


But if you like dont take my advice and continue to live in your Igbophobia and hatred, by the time you click 60yrs, check your life and see how far
