So the north have even attempted a secession and we don't see it in the media.

Lagos ibadan expresseway (LIE) media outlets decided not to talk about in order not to offend their masters in the north.

All they know is lie, propaganda and history revisionism.

They were the first

We Igbos are just not strategic. We think everything na Nzogbu. Nzogbu

Until we learn how to build bridges Presidency is not coming closer to us

That's what OBi is doing presently

helinues:
Nobody is denying the Igbo's the presidency, they are not just playing their politics right

Build bridges, Dem say cement finish, okay now, let's see how they would get to the other side with ladder

You are a small boy in Nigeria politics. When elders speaks listen.
Obasanjo know more about the political conspiracy that have been on ground, he is saying it the way it is for conscience sake, he knows his time is fast approaching and have to reconcile with God. He is part of the conspiracy no doubt

Only igbo Muslims will be allowed to contest for president

JASONjnr:
The same noise was made about Yoruba Muslim and how they will make wonders as MKOnwas denied a chance to showcase to Nigerians that Yoruba Muslims will bring the needed change.

We now have a Yoruba Muslim and it's all rubbish.

Having Igbo president is not going to change anything. We just have to vote a reasonable Nigerian that will be bold enough to cut down the cabals and underdogs that's making the final decisions to impoverished the people of Nigeria.

Anything other than that is a tribal sensation to bring pity to the people of East. As if their life depends on having a president before they could breathe.

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.

look at this goat, the north that acts like the presidency is their birth right, is their house in order ? Rubbish

She won't do well beyond her region.

Which region in Nigeria governs itself right? What has the South West (Lagos and Oyo) been able to do to area boys and agbero menace that is endemic in the society? How about cultism? How have they been able to curtail that? Let’s not talk of ritual killings.

You talk as if the other regions of the country are fairing any better.

What has the North been able to do to curtail insurgency?

The whole of Nigeria is ill governed and it’s not peculiar to a certain region. Cut us some slack on this shenanigans of sit at home and all.

OfficialP:
That's what OBi is doing presently

you are not gonna convince us to vote him by only makin propaganda for him....

anybody can go read his history online....their is still that panama papers stuffs too....
you may forgive and forget but dont await the same from others....

What did he do about it when he was power?
He's now seeing things clearly because he is no longer in power? A kinda sudden messiah of the disenfranchised?

tsdarkside:
obi cant win....not soo long nigerians remember the wahala with you and ipob....
yes daddy tape....not checkin things before talkin....

obi has embarassed himself soo much its ridiculous to await none ibos to take him serious....

Stop dishing out half truth.

You need to take time and read in-between the lines when military men speak, in this case not just a military man but a foreign asset.

No Igbo man is allowed to rule Nigeria irrespective of party because they are precieved a direct threat to the directors of Royal Niger company.... nnamdi kanu has stressed this over and over and now confirmed by obj, but you are only fixated on peter obi

hakeemhakeem:
Presidency is an open field contest for all, it's left for an individual or group to find their level playing group and tactical approach

It's seems you are still learning Nigeria politics?
There's nothing like open contest
Presidency of Nigeria is by selection.
If it's open contest, tinubu wouldn't have been
There

no one is denying anyone presidency this opportuned illiterate man, so because they are ibo, election must not be contested with them? Tnubu defied all odds, stepped on toes, including you, he flushed you down to soakaway that you belong, he contested and won. You are always a coward and treacherous like your half kins from the east, you always belief in power to be handed over to you,

Obasanjo is MAD. Why didn’t he make an Igbo the VP to Yar’Adua? The reason is simple. He doesn’t want an aggressive backstabber to betray Yar’Adua

The igbos don't care about Nigeria presidency. After all they control commerce all over the country and already have IPOB and Biafra.

And what will you say of some northern parts of the
Country that have been taken over and run by bandits? They are free to rule the country abi?
Hypocrisy and nepotism is the bane of Nigeria politics

Igbo elder statesman making a case for his people . Baba should first lecture his brethren on the advantages of not playing Nzogbu'zogbu politics . And Jonathan that won all southwest state bar Osun state in 2011 general election is from where exactly ? Answers from people of Biafraland please .

Brendaniel:
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...

If Igbos can introspect, you'd have gotten far. Yet you are all arrogant and entitled supremacist so can therefore never appreciate what you do wrong let alone a need to change your ways and approach.

North and Yorubas don't play all-or-nothing politics off hatred and toxicity publicly as Igbos do. 100% fact you can deny if you wish. You people thrashed, rejected and derided the APC as "Boko Haram" Party when courted to be a strong part of the formation merger at inception stage of the Party.

If pragmatic in thinking and mature in outlook, you should have considered joining APC as influential partners at her inception if only to spread and improve your options. Instead not only did you reject the APC but the entire SE began fighting the Party in a clannish, personalised and ridiculously hateful way. Bad as that was, we can accept it is your prerogative

What we then don't expect, years later, is for Igbos to demand Tinubu to cede his candidacy to an Igbo in same Party you Had all publicly rejected unitedly as an ethnic group. When that did not happen you decided you must hate "backstabbers" and "betrayal" Yorubas who will not grant Igbos their turn while graveyard silent about how Fulani's, in Atiku and Tambuwal Etal, casually brushed Obi and co aside despite your 25 years of loyal service there.

Your have no problem been ridiculed where you are genuinely entitled but your hatred and anger is for Yorubas you assume denied you representation where you had no right to even seek a voice if a principled ethnic group.

It is called reaping where you did not sow and we must ask who does that to then expect to be viewed a victim of injustice and "marginalisation" when it is crystal clear lack off emotional intelligence,dearth of critical thinking, needlessly hateful approach and intolerance is what has always been resonposnible for Igbos political downfall?

Corporate2020:
Obasanjo is MAD. Why didn’t he make an Igbo the VP to Yar’Adua? The reason is simple. He doesn’t want an aggressive backstabber to betray Yar’Adua

That's because obj is an employee of the royal Niger company
You can continue all forms of lawlessness like 3rd term bid, corruption etc, but don't just allow an Igbo near the Aso rock

UltraSolid:
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.

Igbos don’t hate Yoruba and vice versa. You are the one that hate people. I have friends and partners from several ethnicities in Nigeria and we’ve never gone for each other’s throat over your gibberish politics or ethnicity crap.

You try to incite people against each other on a faceless forum because you think you can’t be found.

Be careful and be warned.

Yet they are a major players in the solution to Nigeria's major economical issues...

Who knows if giving them a sense of belonging will eventually k!ll their drive for secession...

We cannot deny the fact that Igbos succeed at just any business regardless of their education background...

Chekwume16:
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.

The only reason you voted for that evil and dangerous failure called Obi is because he is an Igbo person like you.

Peter Obi was on a mission to destroy Nigeria through tribal and religious war and all those who voted for Peter Obi are enemies of Nigeria

Exactly. The igbos need to do better honestly. You're never going to win alone,especially for a position as high as a president. However the ibos believe other tribes are too beneath them to form a good alliance with.

Even buhari couldn't do it without tinibu. Tinubu too can't achieve nada without the support of powerful northerners.

Come and find me then. I dare you. First show anything I say is different from what the Vangaurd publicly available article below is saying, with the author asking "who are the bigots", before your childish and immature mind lead you to start accusing others of wrongdoing. Have I demanded any Igbo be harmed or mistreated? Better stay in your lane and don't think you can't be found.

And haven't we been proven right that APC is a party worst than PDP?

Haven't we been proven right that all the candidates APC brought into power were bad Nigeria?

Look we Igbos are not desperate for power like you guys, we will rather lose doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing all because of political power, even if we are given the opportunity to vote again today we will still vote in the same pattern and we are not regretting any of our action because we did the right thing and we have been proven right over and over from Buhari to Tinubu...

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Agbadorians will tell you Obasanjo is an Igbo man from Anambra. They so much hate to hear the truth

A truth that changes nothing is as needless as lies
OBJ is talking about Unfair.. as president for 8yrs what did Obj do to re-position the IGBOS ...
OBJ handpick Jonathan as VP for yaradua, if he cared so much why not Chinedu, chibuzor or one Nnamdi what stopped him

These foolish useless old Politicians just look for ways to jam our heads and just very few Nigerians have capacity to think

In Nigeria of today what is FAiR ?? Tinubu is yoruba how as that lifted south west above the national hardship, as a yoruba boy what do i enjoy becos Tinubu is president and chinedu is suffering/denied
i open business am i excluded from multiple tax or is my life more secured ... whats unfair to IGBOS that is fair to shakiru, lets not even talk of the north

They just love to divide us, what Nigeria need is it igbo presidency or good leadership irrespective of tribe nonsense

jmoore:
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.

Las las, Igbos will never be president and we will not give you biafla

Lol some on these people dont really have sense. We have seen where people who can govern themselves put Nigeria. The Hausas and Yoruba are good governors. We have seen it in Buhari and Tinubu.

Anybody who supports Tinubu and still criticize any body or government is either a fool or shameless.
