The reality like I told you 2 years ago is still the same
Igbos must have a chance to govern Nigeria and that must be if they politically align so well.

Trust is something that is needed .. majority of Nigerians outside east don’t trust Igbos with power . .. knowing in reality that they can make Nigeria work..
But you see that issue of Biafra .. is something too deep in nigeria.. both the northern and southern minorities see it as threat.. talk more of the majorities ..
another is the religious intolerance between east and North .. also the deep divide created by the Yoruba media to stop Igbos from getting to center

These are realities stopping the east .. slugging it on their own without a proper alignment
Again
The east don’t really know their enemies.. they see north as their enemies why their core enemies reside in south with them and on daily propagate negative against them

What is the north that quieten Obi and his Obidients in the last 19 months..

Is a media propaganda lunched by yoruba..
Btw Tinubu and Obi only on ballot .. walahi Tinubu will win without rigging . Straight .

So Chief .. forget sentiments no one is gaslighting you.. just the obvious realities

Or do you think .. Yoruba people are kidding when they say Igbo will never rule Nigeria

Know this truth because they understand politics more .

Wake to reality
I agree with you that Obi and Atiku should come back together before 2027 election the merger will give them tremendous advantage over Tinubu.It is good and a win win deal for both Peter Obi and Atiku because if they go it alone like they did in last election Tinubu will rig and win again.If Atiku lose again in 2027 it will over for him as he will be in his late 80s before next election and Peter Obi have to wait for another 12 years when power will rotate back to south to try his luck.
Peter Obi will always win Tinubu in a free and fair election without riging Tinubu will lose in his polling booth.

So why can't Atiku step down and support Obi?

Obi did not enter Presidential politics to help Atiku become President, or help kick out Tinubu

That's not Obi's job, that's the job of voters. If people feel that Tinubu should go, let them vote out Tinubu, rather than waiting for Atiku or Obi
Is not that Atiku cannot step down for Obi
But the average northern voter and northern elites will not trust Obi to do only one term.
They will just suffer and support Tinubu so that by 2031, power return back to them.
This pure numbers and not emotions and the North has the numbers
Can't u see that the SW hardly attack or insult northerners even when northerners attacked them
Cos they understand they need their votes in 2027
East and SS must learn to be wise else SW will keep taking the position of president anytime power comes South

Olodo. Show us what these diplomatic words and platitudes translates to in reality on the ground in Lagos. If you know a single Edo local government chairman in all of sprawling Lagos, since they "own" the State, then let us start from there baba. No need for long talk.

You don’t play this down .. when reality states otherwise

You shout marginalization

You shout Biafra or dead

You see north as enemies

You hate the policies

Being president solves and sort majority of all this

And you know
Being president solves nothing any policy an igbo man makes Can be reversed

Let me ask you this.. You think if you fight Tinubu in 2027 and loose you think core North would see power again in the next 24 years? Lmaooo dey play

After Tinubu North Central takes over and you know the whole South would back it that's 4 zones vs 2 Even that two no complete

After that South rules that's 16 plus 4 that's 20 years before core North taste power... If u should too much we give someone from Adamawa or taraba Jukun ( u know Jukun na)

So relax and you need this more than igbos... Igbos are used to marginalization... Can you stand it for 40 years? Because that's what you are toying with

The west will play the Muslim card.. and “ Biafra … “on the north.
Both their Muslim and the Christian minorities will align …
Obi will have just the south and east..

OredoPikin:
When Tinubu was sworn in as president, I advocated for the need to prioritize southern unity, especially with the South East, because I knew that in 2027, the North would likely seek to regain power, regardless of Tinubu’s performance. For voicing this concern, I was attacked by his supporters.

I also cautioned Tinubu's supporters to stop attacking the Igbos, and I urged the Igbo to do the same. Unfortunately, instead of listening, I was attacked again. I expected Tinubu, as president, to initiate the healing process and promote unity, perhaps through public programs on TV and radio. But almost two years into his presidency, nothing of the sort has materialized.

Now, Tinubu has failed woefully and the needless attack by his supporters on the igbos and tagging everyone with contrary opinions as igbo has increased.
The North want to use the advantage of Tinubu failure and southern disunity to push for the presidency.
At this point, I have come to the conclusion too that Peter Obi should put his presidential ambitions on hold and support a northern candidate, such as Atiku Abubakar or Rabiu Kwankwaso, for the 2027 election. He could even consider serving as vice president to one of them, or recommend an Igbo or South-South candidate as a running mate.

The focus now should be on rescuing Nigeria from the current hardship under Tinubu and ending the tribal divisions that have escalated during his presidency. Supporting a northern candidate like Atiku is the most strategic way to challenge Tinubu’s rule and curb the hardship and harmful tribalism that has intensified in the past 2 years.

If you allow Tinubu to continue beyond 2027, you risk further antagonism and attacks on your tribe for the next six years, and Northerners will not be spare too because they will come for every tribe including us in the South South that doesn't support them.

It’s time for the Igbos to urge Peter Obi to set aside his presidential aspirations and back a northern candidate in 2027, to help restore sanity and unity to our political space.

ATIKU/OBI 2027
AFTER WHAT MAHMOOD DID, U EXPECT US TO REWARD A NORTHERNER?


INSTEAD A NORTHERNER WILL BE PRESIDENT, LET TINUBU CONTINUE.



SO FAR, THE NORTH ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE SHOUTING AND CRYING, FROM FRANCE, NIGER TO TAXATION.


TINUBU IS A GOAL

GEJ scenario can be repeated over time and time .. no worries .

This is Nigeria .

The south will always align .. a lot of interests will align with north for selfish reasons .. we have seen it. Over times

That was the GEJ plan too.. it failed .

You just don’t understand Arewa

Which north central will vote without core north..
Which state .. Benue or kwara abi na kogi?


Reality bro … travel through the country and understand why it was difficult for okadigbo and buhari

But Tinubu sailed same ship

You getting me confused I don't even know where you stand!
I thought you are advocating for Atiku and Obi alliance?If so why are you pessimistic over your own proposal?
The west will play muslim and Biafra card on the North like he did last election and the North will fall for it the second time that means una mumu never do.Why are we here wasting our time then?SE is not desperate for power we have been without it for almost 60 years.

I’m only saying … if obi and Tinubu on ballot

But if they PDP and Obi finalized on an understanding.. of whatever pact that favors them..

All those fear that the west will throw up .. will become fallacies.. gaining trust of both northern minorities and Muslims…. And will cement the political relationship between east and North

The wisdom of Nigerians is to wait and see thr man the North support and vote opposite because the North has never ever had a good person in Mind. Fact check : they said Buhari was the savior of the poor he show them Shege for 8 years they now came and said it's Muslim Muslim and Tinubu is doing Shege Pro max. This tell you their thinking capacity.

Obi does not need Atiku.

If he cannot become president, he does not need to be to be VP because the north wants power through indirect SE alliance.

Tinubu can continue as long as they cannot accept a SE presidency.

The economy will borrow everybody sense.

Only Oba Ado, Asipa and Gabaro had Edo roots.

Gabaro was childless and his sister got married to the Ijesha chief priest to produce the current line of Lagos Obas.
