Anyone still bitter over any looming or past election loss should push for restructuring, that way you get to govern yourself and not bother about zoning or rotational presidency. And if its secession makes it even better, the National Assembly is there. All what we cry about is possible. Someone pushed for local govt autonomy and got it, even tax reform got it, regional development commissions in the bag and all sorts. Democracy thrives with negotiations and concessions and not threats.

Igbo don't even make top 5 richest men in Nigeria more less in Africa.

Trading isn't investment take note!

Are you now saying it is yorubas that makes top 5 richest men in Nigeria more less in Africa?

Your argument is sentimental and tribalistic, so argue with yourself

nzogbu nzogbu politics played by you people has been you people problem and nobody to blame. 2027 will come and tinubu will win and nothing will happen. Who hold you people to contest. Atiku is busy forming coalyor benefit from it and you guys sit down somewhere else and want to demand the ticket. Funny poeple. Maybe Tinubu should even step down and give Orji kalu in 2027. Una never see anything yet.

You go explain tire.

There are a host of tribes that haven't gotten presidency, yet are not threatening war over it. Still, many, no scratch that, ALL nigerian tribes are like the Igbos. They want the presidency so that they can chop money, and get some jobs. Nothing for development and industrialization...just share tomorrow's money today.

Meanwhile they all got states, and LGA...and they won't focus on them. They won't vote for the Lee Kwam Yew's among them, they all want someone that will share palliatives and subsides to them...without thought as to where the money to fund these things is going to come from.

And if we split the country, the same old show.

EVERY african country is like that. Eastern Congo has 100 millita groups, including M23. Y'all think they are fighting for justice...no. For control of resources.

There is a saying "the truth is bitter"
The truth is that if igbos do not get Nigeria presidency in 2027 then another Civil War in Nigeria is unstoppable. Because you can not tell igbos to wait until 2031 or 2035.

Never in your life open your mouth to tell me the type of thread to create in the name of ndi Igbo.

You are speaking for yourself.
Empty threat of war I am not surprised at your careless undiplomatic approach which is trademark of ipob.

Go and take your malaria drugs.
Think before you talk, so you will not display your ignorance in public forum like this.

WizardOfNG:
Indeed. I don't agree with your views or talk always but you come across to me to be someone who is objective and progressive overall.

The bolded is the right response because these are the guys attracting animosity and enmity towards Igbos to then turn around and make it seem others "hate" Igbos and "mean them harm" for "no reason".

This is a democratic exercise . How can you threathen others with another civil conflict as if war is something anyone should ever contemplate let alone use as a tool of blackmail?

Furthermore, talks like that is disrespectful to the those who suffered tragically, directly or indirectly, over the last civil war that was unnecessary, IMO, if calm heads and reasoning had prevailed.

It is the turn of the South. Not Igbos. It will always be the turn of the South or North. When it is the turn of the South then Igbos should negotiate with other southerners if they wish to exclusively produce the Southern candidate.

Ditto for the turn of the North. It is for Northerners to agree, by amicable and negotation-based consensus, where to microzone the ticket to .

"For every action, ther is an equal and opposite reaction". Igbos cannot continue to operate in disdain for this fundamental consideration of life to then always shout they are victim of "hatred, marginalisation and persecution" from others.

Threatening, insulting and publicly villifying Yorubas will not make them cede Southern Presidential slot to Igbo.

Rather it will harden their resolve to stand against those who , by their bitter word and threats, are appearing hateful, disrespectful and disdainful of Yorubas.

Some Of of these separatist from ipob are intentionally making this provocative statements to hurt Igbo political interests because they use the marginalisation excuse for Biafra agitation.Igbo presidency will finally kill their agitation that is the reason most of them indirectly work against Peter Obi.

Go and take your malaria drugs because you are confusing yourself by rushing to comment without thinking before talking.
