Just make sure you keep your War in your own Region this time
And dont bring it anywhere near Lagos or the rest of Yorubaland

You are talking nonsense.

iichidodo:
You are not igbo, stop taking Panadol for our headache...

You are asking nonsense question.

Well, at least we are beginning to see the reason for the virulent and illogical criticisms of the president.
It is just about grabbing power and not about Nigeria.

Boy you are talking nonsense.

keep acting a script we know that people like you are sponsored to create ethnic tension

Azikiwe controlled who got what in the civil service more than Balewa. The first republic favoured Igbos more than any group in Nigeria, so I don't regard those who say Azikiwe was only ceremonial as serious people. Everybody called him sir, so he must be counted as President. Then the short regimes of other people were counted so it is fair to count Ironsi's as well because all of them affected the country one way or the other. They made irreversible decisions.

It is not a problem if anybody or any group organises but it is a problem to be making unfounded claims of marginalization.

No group is more represented or getting more federal presence than the SE because they have the lowest population but are still entitled to what a zone with three times their population is entitled to.

Tax contribution is the only fair way to determine representation in a federal system because it will make everybody sit up. If Abuja has more revenue than Lagos, it should have more seats at the national assembly than Lagos and if you say Abuja was built by non indigenes then those non indigenes should fight for seats there. Good luck to them but soon they will realize they are better off contributing to their own native lands

Tell me what is the benefit to any group of a united Nigeria? To the Yoruba, there is no benefit. They are a major Earth ethnicity and they are better off in control of their own space not a Yoruba land with security forces who are not Yoruba. That is not good for any group

If Azikiwe 'controlled the civil service more than Balewa', then why did Balewa remain PM with executive power while Azikiwe was ceremonial Head of State? Ceremonial means no veto, no control over ministries. That’s why historians don’t count it the same as an 8-year elected presidency.

On 'SE has lowest population but equal zones': The 6-zone structure was a political compromise in 1996, not based on population. If we switch to tax/revenue for representation, then we need a new constitution and a credible census first. You can’t apply one rule for SE and ignore it for others.

And 'Yoruba get no benefit from Nigeria' - then why are Yoruba in politics, business, and federal jobs across the country? You don’t keep benefiting from a system for 60 years and call it useless only when it’s not your turn.


You say 'no unfounded claims of marginalization', but then say 'Yoruba get no benefit from Nigeria'. That’s a claim of marginalization too, just for a different group.
If your real position is secession, say it directly. But don’t use selective history to paint Igbos as the only problem. Nigeria’s problem is bad governance, not which tribe produces the president.


We can argue history all day and still be here in 2050.
The question for 2027 is simple: who can fix power, security, and the economy? If you think Tinubu is that person, argue his record. If I think Peter Obi is, I’ll argue his.
Reducing it to 'my tribe deserves it' or 'your tribe has had enough' is why Nigeria stays stuck.


You want tax/revenue to determine representation, but also want Yoruba to break away and keep Lagos revenue to themselves. Which is it?
You can’t demand a 'federal system based on tax' and then reject federalism when it doesn’t favor you. That’s hypocrisy.

Hypocrite
Keep deceiving yourself the more.

Nigeria is at a crossroads once again. The storm clouds are gathering, and if the nation refuses to act decisively and justly, a second civil war may be inevitable. The exclusion of the South East — the homeland of the Igbo people — from the highest office in the land is pushing Nigeria to the brink. If the Igbo are denied the presidency in 2027, the consequences could be catastrophic. Not just politically, but existentially.


The scars of the 1967–1970 Biafra War have never truly healed. Over 3 million Igbos were killed in a war triggered largely by marginalization, ethnic violence, and the fight for justice and inclusion. Yet, 54 years later, the Igbo people have still never been allowed to produce a democratically elected president of Nigeria.

Despite being one of the three major ethnic groups in the country — alongside the Hausa-Fulani and the Yoruba — the Igbos remain politically sidelined at the national level.

Yoruba presidency: 1999–2007 (Olusegun Obasanjo)

Hausa-Fulani presidency: 2007–2023 (Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Muhammadu Buhari)

South-South (Ijaw): 2010–2015 (Goodluck Jonathan)

South East (Igbo): Never


This systematic exclusion is not just unjust — it is unsustainable.

The South East may be the smallest of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones by land mass, but the Igbo people are one of the most widely spread, industrious, and economically impactful ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Igbos control over 60% of Nigeria’s informal trade and business in major cities — Lagos, Kano, Abuja, and beyond.

The region has some of the highest literacy and school enrollment rates in the country.

Igbo Nigerians lead in the diaspora, sending billions in remittances annually and promoting Nigeria’s image globally.

It is politically dangerous and morally indefensible to keep such a group excluded from the presidency while expecting peace and unity.


The rise of pro-Biafra separatist movements like IPOB is not random — it is a direct reaction to decades of marginalization. When a people feel unheard and unwanted, they seek to leave. IPOB, MASSOB, and others have gained traction because the Nigerian state continues to treat the South East as second-class citizens.

Denying the region the presidency in 2027 will radicalize millions of young Igbos already disillusioned with the country. This will turn agitation into full-blown rebellion. And this time, it won’t just be a political crisis — it could be an armed insurrection.


A nation cannot survive when it is built on selective inclusion. You cannot call for unity while promoting exclusion. Every region in Nigeria must have a sense of belonging. Every major ethnic group must see itself represented in the highest office.

Zoning and rotation have been used to maintain balance — North and South taking turns.

The North has ruled for 14 of the last 24 years.

The South West and South South have had their turns.

It is only just that the South East should take its rightful place in 2027.


If zoning is abandoned now that it's the South East’s turn, it will be seen — rightly — as a deliberate strategy to keep Igbos perpetually excluded. That perception will destroy whatever fragile unity still exists in Nigeria.


Nigeria’s youth — more than 60% of the population — are not blind to ethnic injustice. Many young people from all over Nigeria supported Peter Obi, an Igbo man, in the 2023 election, seeing him as a symbol of hope and change. Despite not winning, the message was clear: the South East has national appeal and leadership capacity.

To deny the region in 2027 is to betray a generation looking for fairness. Youth anger in the South East, if left to boil over, will not be limited to protests. It could evolve into an uncontainable security nightmare for Nigeria.

The first civil war was fought with limited weapons and international awareness. A second civil war will be fought in a 21st-century Nigeria filled with armed non-state actors, widespread internet activism, drone technology, and porous borders. A war today will not stay in the East. It will burn across Nigeria and likely draw in foreign interests.

It is better to give justice and preserve peace than to suppress justice and ignite war.


2027 is a moral test for Nigeria. If equity, justice, and national cohesion still matter, the Igbo people must produce the next president. This is not a threat — it is a warning grounded in history, current reality, and future consequence.

To continue to exclude the Igbos is to choose the path of instability, chaos, and perhaps disintegration.

Let us not wait for another war to realize what could have been prevented with wisdom.

You think you are invisible. The authorities can still track u as they have the equipment .when dey arrest u don't come making noise because no one will come out
You have a sim card using known service provider with mass close to your location

But you arrest and insult IGBOs anyhow..

21lucky:
This is very much necessary. We igbos will speak our minds.
We Igbos are peaceful people and that is why the Yorubas and northerners think they can take advantage of us and prevent us igbos from producing the next president of Nigeria in 2027.

If Yorubas and northerners push Igbos to the wall then igbos will retaliate and fight the fight of justice, fairness and equity.

we no go vote u

Let's see d worst u can do, last last u go join that one for sokoto

No absolute powers in a parliamentary system. It is not like the Presidential system. In parliamentary there must always be consensus and the PM is merely a coordinator. He can't do anything without the go ahead of the ruling coalition but the highest ranked person was Zik. Nobody had absolute power in the first republic but no doubt Igbos benefitted most from appointments

Any census in Nigeria will still be manipulated but if you look at all stats backed with biometric data, digital footprint, revenue and etc, you will have a good idea of how the population is distributed by percentage if not by absolute numbers. In short you don't need a census to have what you need.

Yes if SE is getting five federal universities while NW or SW gets less than fifteen each, that is already favouring the SE. That is obvious or isn't it? If you consider NIN registration or even taxes paid leaving population figures gotten via any census

I am not saying I want anything for Nigeria. I want Nigeria to break up but what will be best for any federal union is for the federating units to be represented at the center according to their revenue. That is my advise to all nations including any new ones that may rise out of Nigeria's ashes.

There should not be talk of 2027 at all but talk of breakup but which President has done most for Nigeria since the end of the civil war? That is the current President who has reduced oil income to less than twenty five percent of government revenue as he did in Lagos. He reversed in three years the decay caused by the military incursion into governance over decades.

Where did I paint Igbos as the problem? That is your imagination. The problem is unhealthy rivalry and competition which ends up drawing everybody back. It is the same thing you will get if you merge the whole world together as one and staff the security personnel as well as the leadership with only one ethnic group or nationality.

Stop harping on Lagos or Lagos revenue. There is nothing special in Lagos that any state with the same population can not achieve

If any of them had strategized then they would have gotten it or do you think it was handed free of charge to Tinubu or even MKO? The civilian President that got it free without ambition was President Obasanjo imposed by the military

Then Nigeria did not start in 1999 and there exists other groups too with some almost half of Igbos in population

You Yorubas like to pretend alot.

It is you Yorubas that always sabotage igbos from getting the Nigeria presidency.

Tinubu a Yoruba sabotage rochas okorocha and spoiled his good reputation and till today rochas okorocha is still trying to recover and Yorubas did what they do to rochas okorocha to Orji kalu, ekweremandu, and even try to do it to peter obi but failed because the good things peter obi did for people was fighting against the evils the Yorubas was planning for him.

Igbos will watch wether the Yorubas and northerners will sabotage Igbo from getting the 2027 Nigeria presidency.

It is colonial census that caused everything. If not for colonial census, Igbos would know their true weight and act accordingly but there are educated Igbos who think Igbos outnumber all groups in Nigeria. If your base is faulty how do you build an edifice? Politics is a game of numbers. Igbos think they have the numbers when they don't and that is the cause of all the problems

This post is necessary please to remind those insisting to sabotage southeast Igbos from getting 2027 Nigeria presidency.

Where is the justice, fairness and equity if an Igbo can not be the president of Nigeria in 2027?

And you think threatening people is the best way to go about it? People will come out and vote their choice regardless of your empty threats and if Igbo man wins, so be it but if he loses, the world will not come to an end.
