Who con dey deny them presidency?

Was their Agulu fraud not allowed to contest in the last election? So Ibos loosing election means they’re denying them presidency?

Atiku been contesting for presidency since forever, why is he not saying they’re denying him presidency?

How many times did buhari contest before finally emerging winner?

Obj should just tell Ibos the truth. Dem no sabi play politics. Right from the time of Nnamdi Azikwe, till date. Dem no sabi. Aside from that, dem being 5% is also a factor. They don’t have the numbers at all and they lack political knowledge on how to build a political alliance..
The people rulling arw okay as long s Nigeria keeps going down the drain.

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.
Nobody betrayed PO but he did that to himself. He felt the masses will vote for him and he turned himself into a lone ranger even within the LP. These so called money he keeps doling out to gratify people like he is a thorough breed philanthropist should have been used to mobilize unit polling agents all over the nation but both him and LP did masarati and he went to court with little or nothing tangible other than to ride on sentiments.
I still find it funny and disinteresting that you can't actually point to anyone who had worked with him when he was as govenror for 8 years who are still valuable in the Nigerian politics or who will walk with him openly.

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
Abi ooo, biliving that others are the destroying Naija, while ur own tribe are justified, hence resulted ethnic cleansing rather genuine cleansing, distance Igbo more from presidency.

Mr Obasanjo playing to the gallery as usual.
Winding and twisting Ibo heads as usual but fraudulently failing to tell the Ibos that politics is a game of numbers and the Ibos lack sufficient numbers to win the Presidency except they build bridges. He should also tell the Ibos to stop insulting other tribes,curb their unbridled passion for rebellion and curb their ignorant arrogance.
A word is enough for the wise.

this annoying talk of they denied igbos presidency, everyone contest and people choose who Dey want either by crook or hook . Since Igbo no fit do that , they are not fit .

Obasanjo said that Nigeria’s three major ethnic nationalities – Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba, and Igbo
This is wrong. Nigeria has three ethnic groups:
Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.

There is a huge line difference between Hausa and Fulani.

If indeed you are Igbo, I sympathize with you, because others are making it hard for people like you.

My love for Peter going down because of nonsensical that almost Ndigbo have become, bcs of presidency, and these notion cut across majority of people who are not Igbo.


Whenever I see headless mob saying thrash all days and nights about other, I just shaking my head , because these people are making it harder and harder the more.

To separate not easy, to because president hard, which means, the bitterness would remain as long as possible

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...
Yet Igbos voted one of the worst presidential candidates ever in the history of Nigeria.

Obi is a failure, scandalously corrupt and a dangerous bigot who was on a religious war with a section of the country.

This man is a rabble rouser. So why didn’t he support any Ibo man to presidency.

Wasn’t he the one that chose Jonathan? Why didn’t he choose an Ibo man?

For ibos to win a national seat they need to start behaving like they like their neighbours. All the hate they keep spewing against every single tribe will not help them win.

They need to learn to work with other people and stop bad mouthing the country because they told them to do that in their family meeting.

All the agitation they are doing now see how sit at home and insurgents have taken over their towns. How market?

When did Nigeria start giving Presidential position based on ethnicity?

You contest election, you either win or lose and that has been how Presidents have always come onboard in Nigeria.

Igbos are too arrogant, and insultive to become the President of Nigeria. Peter Obi is loved by most Nigerians despite political differences, but the so-called Obedients with their toxic attitude of insulting everyone online, cost us that election victory. Till today, it pains me that our votes for Peter Obi was destroyed unknowingly by same Obedients who also voted overwhelmingly for Peter Obi. What an Irony?

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.
Is that how to build bridges? Or you voted during election? What Obasanjo, Buhari, and lately Tinubu did, tell me any Igbo, dead
or alive that ever done it?


That's exactly what Peter Obi is doing now, having realised in last election that, nobody is actually perssecute Igbo, but it's because they don't use to build "enough" bridges before election.



If PDP picked Peter Obi in last election, Igbo would have been president by now, take that to the bank ok.

Igbos are still brutally fighting for secession by killing soldiers and police officers and obeying sit-at-home by Ipob secessionists that they are funding too. They cannot be trusted with presidential power as they can instigate another horrific civil war to break away.
May God bless u my brother and the stupid obj is not seeing that yes we know the north west and south south is not building the country well but for Igbo to enter my brother na sot at home for d whole federal go start and d killings will be more than d present day .

Obj is just a trouble maker. He speaks with two sides of his mouth. He betrayed all his Ibo boys that thought he would support them to higher office. Like those Uba brothers

Neither Wike nor any Southerner betrayed Obi. It was the arrogant born-to-rule Fulani crew in the PDP that showed Obi "nothing for you here" which then made him head for Labour Party rather than stay to fight them as Tinubu did against similar attempt of the North to disenfranchise him in APC.

Bode George, Seyi Makinde, Fayose recognised it was the turn of the South in PDP and fought the North valiantly with George even insisting North must not run. Yet Obi fled and other Igbos did not even utter a word in protest. Only Wike defiantly determined to forge ahead and run along with Pius Anyim.

It was only after Atiku and Tambuwal lowballed Wike that him and others in the PDP decided they must work against the born-to-rule arrogance of the North by ensuring a Tinubu win. I am therefore shocked at this your version of the narrative where you claim Southerners and Wike betrayed Obi. Even as I know you Igbos throw the word betrayal around casually and unfairly, your claim against Wike and southerners is still astounding to read given the reality we all witnessed.

To confirm all I said, and to damn the slavish behavior of Obi, the "Yes Daddy" charlatan even fawningly congratulated Atiku, who drove him to labour Party, for emerging PDP candidate whereas Wike declared defiantly "I can't be second class in my own nation".

You people revisionism na die baba. I can only ascribe it to a primordial hatred of fellow southerners you unfairly and arrogantly think owe you something while you remain happy to always take whatever humiliation the North, that you are clearly scared of, dish out to you publicly.

Today Yoruba Bode George is saying, as he insisted in 2023, Northerner must not produce PDP candidate in 2027[b] for the sake of equity and fairness[/b]. No Igbo is moving with purposeful intentions whereas Makinde, Oyo Governor, has already signalled his intention to run with rumours stating Wike and co will back him to stop Atiku and the North presenting the 2027 PDP candidate.

If Makinde then emerges, you people will begin talking about "Yoruba betrayal" never mind that non of your own stood up to challenge Fulani imperialism in the PDP. See the move it is claimed brave southerners are making below to ensure equity for the South in PDP. You won't join at this stage to pitch Igbo challenge strongly, that even southerners like Bode George can get behind winningly, but when Makinde emerges then the hateful talk against Yorubas and Wike "betrayal" begins.

Truly she is just an over hype. If not madness on her side, she and Obasanjo cleared our debt but later support Jonathan on borrowing even when oil sold so high in international market. What is her impact to Nigeria as the DG of WTO. The AFDB president is far better than her and Nigeria has benefitted a lot from his position as the president of Africa bank. As minister of finance, he could not detect ghost workers but took just within six months for the former minister under Buhari, Kemi Adeosun to clear all ghost workers from the ministry.

Across southwest did Peter obi not pick up votes, even in the North did Peter not gather votes ... are they not aware Peter is Igbo

The word Deny can only be appropriate when Inec or the constitution bans IGBOS from contesting .. . people are entitled to their choices
