Your audacity in accusing others of hate speech when you are here supporting a violent civil war and insurection as threatened by the terrorist OP if Nigerians refuse to vote your ethnic champion is sickening to say the least.

The OP is making an open terrorist threat on the Nigerian electorate if we do not support and vote his ethnic champion and you are here supporting his terrorist threats while insulting and threatening every poster on this thread who condemns the OP's terrorist threats but somehow you are accusing others here of hate speech against ibos
You talk without thinking.
You should be ashamed of yourself for not be able to understand simple English language in news outlets.

The Op was only analysing political developing story and he did not threatened anyone. If you go to social media and even in YouTube you will see alot of people analysing different political news and even on nairaland here.

I support the political analyst op on what he said because it is the truth. Alot of igbos are not happy over the marginalization of igbos in Nigeria and if care is not taken, it can lead to another civil war. Injustice bring about violence agitation and even riots: the majority of Igbos feels they been treated unjustly, unfairly and in an injustices manner in Nigeria by depriving a igbo person from becoming the president of Nigeria. Anytime an Igbo man comes to contest for the Nigeria' presidency, he will be sabotage by the yorubas and northerners.

I just want you to get my point.

Say No To Tribalism And Hate Speech Towards Igbos

You spoke quite well.

But as it turned out, Obasanjo is not Yoruba but Ibo.
The irony was why the Yoruba erroneously thought he was one of them, he knew his real root and acted accordin
Go through his cabinet and projects and see how he favoured them.
He claims to be Yoruba and was brought up as Yoruba. So he is Yoruba. In any case if his father was Obi of Onitsha, the grandfather of that one would have been a Yoruba man who spoke a Yoruba dialect. Onitsha people didn't even speak Igbo until recently. A man however is what he identifies as and they will never accept him anywhere else apart from Owu Egba

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.
If Tinubu wins Nigeria will continue .
If Atiku wins , Nigeria will continue. Stop sounding the drums of war over Igbo presidency. The Igbo man does not give 2 naira about it . Who we are after , is Our local leaders who despite receiving federal allocation don't effect any positive development .
The only thing that can lead to a civil war is invasion of South East and South South by Fulani herdsmen .
I pray it does not get to that .

After his tenure, he almost got lynched along Agege motor road.

Yes any group of people that claim to have come from Benin city. Not Benin suburbs, had Yoruba speaking ancestors who were proper Yoruba people. So in that wise, the ancestors of the Onitsha royal family were Yoruba people but their descendants today are Igbo. They know in Onitsha that their original language is not Igbo. They would not have been speaking Igbo in 1850 and there was no other language in which to deal with Benin than Yoruba language. Dr Emeagwali once mentioned that some old people could still speak the language a few decades back.

It is Obasanjo that knows what he did or did not do in terms of infrastructure for the SW. I have not taken stock of what he did. Even if you put any other President, the rigged census will still make them to allocate to the Yoruba and even the Hausa far less than what they should have if their population were to be considered. You can only discover the fault if there is no oil money and you have to use or are using tax paid by the citizens as is happening now. Any President giving less than thirty five percent or even forty percent of anything to the Yoruba is cheating them but that is considered normal in Nigeria. If you don't run the country with taxes, you won't realize it.

Obasanjo in his personal capacity even if not enough with his position as President has contributed to his community. He is among the highest employers of labour there and he is living there among them but his people or subordinates are in the best position to say anything about him. I don't see him as a bad man and of all past Presidents, he carries the country on his head more than others. I did not gain anything from all my past defense of him. I even lost. So it is not really my business but it is not right to be saying he is not a Yoruba man

I've heard about the connection between the Bonus in Binin city and Onitsha.
It's funny how easily a language can disappear for lack of use.

The fact remains that we cannot agree on Obasanjo so better we each keep our opinion about him to our self.
But I cannot but say that he had the greatest opportunity to put Nigeria on a sound footing but fluffed it.
His spinelessness in the failure to take the bull by the horn over sharia is the major cause of the insecurity we are facing. He was a general without action where and when it mattered.
His carrying the country on his head is patently mischievous.
To me, he belittles himself by his devious letters at every turn.
Obasanjo is rather envious and suffers inferiority complex.
He did it to Awolowo.
He did it to MKO.
Same thing he's doing to Atiku.
He wrote in his book that Atiku stole so much under his watch enough to feed millions of Nigerians for several decades.
He thought he was running down Atiku but in actual fact, it was self-indictment proving his ineptitude and failure as a leader, or they were both guilty of kleptomaniac.

If people want sharia on their land and they are the majority there, then there is nothing anybody can really do to stop them. It does not really matter that they are a part of Nigeria. It is just like if you really want out of Nigeria as a group, nobody really can stop you unless you are doing it the wrong way.

Former VP Atiku is to blame for the showdown between him and former President Obasanjo. All what Obasanjo is fighting him over is that he attempted to edge him out after his first term. If you were President Obasanjo you would give your support to another person too after your second term and you will also grant interviews to disrupt Atiku"s chances of becoming President.
Then Chief Awolowo was not in the good books of the late Queen Elizabeth who could easily teleguide President Obasanjo to do anything and that I think is a possible explanation of his open support for Alhaji Shagari in 1979 which should not have been the case as a sitting head of state. He openly said the best person don't need to win, referring to Chief Awolowo and he openly queued to vote for the NPN. The same can be true of his non alignment with late Basorun Abiola as well. Everybody can't be in the same camp and many people that built the old western region were not aligned with Chief Awolowo as well especially the late Chief Akintola amongst others

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.
