Stop doing whataboutism about issue concerning your region. Aren't you people even interested in making head way politically?

You can't be bragging of something you don't have. After all, it's not Kanuri, Nupe or Ibiobio people that have been governing South East for decades hence no development to show for it. And please save us the story about the civil war, Rwanda civil war was more recent and they have moved on.

Build bridges, form alliance, elect credible people at home to show the seriousness whether for the presidency or Biafra
When hypocrites are exposed, they start shouting whataboutism.

Build bridges?
Igbo people voted for Obasanjo (Yoruba). No bridge?
Igbo people voted Yar Adua (Northern). No bridge?
Igbo people voted for Good luck Jonathan. No bridge?

You guys are ignorant. Always fabricating nonsense against Igbo people.

But facts will always be there. No amount of lies from babablus will cover the truth.

No development in southeast? The whole country is underdeveloped. So keep quiet.

So the north have been electing credible people in their region abi or the south west has been electing credible people in their region too?

You talk of bridges, which region have the Igbos not voted into power before back to back?

Has the north or the south west done that for any Igbo man?

Which tribe in Nigeria is most traveled and settled and contribute to the community where they stay including learning the language of the people than the Igbos in Nigeria ?

What type of bridge are you talking about?

What exactly do you people want from the Igbos?

This is one major reason I want the country to break up because there is nothing an Igbo man does you people don't find fault in...

Precisely. Yet they will never do that because of a sense of entitlement drenched in tribalism and unreasonable expectations.

One thing most don't understand is that Igbos thoroughly hate Yorubas and Tinubu today because they believed it was their turn in 2023 and Yorubas/Tinubu denied them.

Yet let us inspect reality. Igbos have no hatred for Atiku and his gang who schemed Obi and Wike out of reckoning in the PDP that Igbos have been loyal to for 25 years and had more than earned the automatic right to produce the 2023 Presidential candidate for.

Yet Igbos expect Yoruba man who gave his money, time and energy to birthing and sustaining APC, even collapsing his successful ACN structure into the Party, to step down for an Igbo in the same APC Igbos proudly and arrogantly told the world is a terrorist Party they want nothing to do with?

Is it not obvious these people are the most hatefully unreasonable Nigerians ever? They think everything must be done with hatred, toxicity, insult, tribalistic jousting and nzogbu nzogbu gbas gbos instead of all you wrote in bold above.

This is why they have always failed politically and will keep failing.

I have maintained that Nzeogwu did the right thing in 1966 but maybe not executed with good precision enough, those that destroyed Nigeria were those that benefited from Nzeogwu’s coup.
People like:
Gowon
TY Danjuma
Northern Mafia etc
Why was Ironsi killed?? What benefits has the Mafia that took over Nigeria since then done for the countryhuh
the reason ironsi was killed was because the coupists werent tried, considering the fact that he was from same zone or area as the leaders of the coupists, and the victims were mostly from north and west It was interpreted that they were working together. The Biafra seccesion attempt and war took place cos of poor handling of mass killings of Igbo in the north by gowon in power

Bro in all honesty, how can a region who can't govern themselves right be trusted with Nigeria presidency? This continue forced sit at home every Monday is a good example. Some illiterate kids are giving orders about a must sit at home on Monday, the governors are also giving orders about a must open business and the citizens are what.....

Let the Igbo's put their house in order first, Jubril left ears , nose was just a pure waste of time which achieved nothing.
You guys are just being petty unnecessarily. North that has been ravaged with insecurity have produced 2 presidents from there region. So this your line of thought don't make a single sense.

Obasanjo is playing to the gallery. No one is denying igbo presidency. Last election was a clear example. A lot of us voted for obi not because he is an igbo like me but because we believed in him. Southerners were even the ones that betrayed him. Especially People like Wike. Secondly igbos need to know how to play politics. They are too hostile towards other regions. They don't believe in building bridges. Their arrogance will always deprive them of that exalted position.
Fulanis that have been killing people all over Nigeria even before Buhari became president did not stop you people from voting him and never even accused the Fulanis of being hostile to other tribes then still reelected him even after they increased the killings under him....

What exactly does hostility mean to you ?

Once it is Igbos you guys must raise blames and find faults, what exactly do you people want from the Igbos?

It's a democracy, i suppose. You can't present a failed mediocrity in governance like Obi against more competent records and connects and expect to win. Play smart not hard.

See this confused confusion. Which useless bridge are you talking about. Bridge of corruption or what. Nepotism and tribalism. Is that the yeye bridge you're talking about. Until an Igbo man is made president of Nigeria, Nigeria will not witness any meaningful progress.

But Obasanjo was one of the people who agreed that the Ibos could never be president of this country after the Civil War.

I knew Obi would not be given power even if he won.

You conveniently forget that the chain reaction will probably not occur if there was no action in the first place. Stop deceiving yourself.
Re: Denying Igbo Presidency Over Secession Attempts Is Unfair – Obasanjo by Lanruze: 8:29am On Oct 23, 2024
Ignore the rants of the IPOBs and ESN, 2027 will be the turn of the Igbos to assume Presidency.

The Igbos have been pushed out of the scheme of things for a very long time i.e 58 years ago (since 1966 when Agunyi Ironsi was the Head of State for just six months).

President Olusegun Obasanjo has been the most courageous and bold statesman that has highligted this nationalistic fact.

The south has a Presidency of 8 years and can be split between the SE/ SW.

Obasanjo would be judged for being an Yoruba Man, however it will be in the best interest of Democracy.
