Igbos never voted for Buhari or Tinubu but they became president— Hon Ben Nwankwo asks if Igbos are really influential as a people.

For a tribe calling for claiming influence and self-determination, you guys sure have a lot of brain-rottened statesmen. So, this one is by essence saying a section of the country is inconsequential?

How dare he say a whole tribe did not vote for past and current presidents. Did these individuals record 0 votes in the South Eastern states?

Y'all not even united, that's why them dey sideline una. Shame. Shame.

It’s always been like that since the creation of Earth!

Once Igbo’s are on your side, defeat is GUARANTEED!

Even in one of my research that I did, I was able to deduct that realistically, from available evidences and test conducted, Igbo’s are Jews. I dug deeper and made astonishing discovery about how the support they gave Jesus led to his crucifixion.

He is saying the bitter truth. The Southeast had the opportunity to get a foot in the door and launch into national prominence in 2027 by aligning with a huge section of the North in a coalition just like Tinubu did in 2015, but Obi choose to prioritise self-interest. In 2027, the region will go solo again and vote in isolation and then console themselves when they lose by saying they are the richest region, or that they are the only ones with the gift of identifying good leaders or another ridiculous self-consolation rhethoric. If the Southeast would not vote Atiku in 2027, they are better off voting Tinubu instead of voting in isolation. Another approach will be to spread their votes across different parties so they can have a stake in the eventual winner instead of backing the wrong horse in a one-way traffic.

Buhari call them Dot in a circle

Despite being a Fulani and a northerner, Atiku still has a better chance of winning next election than any candidate from the southeast.

For me, the sad thing is Ndigbo went all in with PDP for a long time, all they got back was VP candidacy for a Peter Obí that just turned up from APGA and had zero influence in anything.

At the very least, they should have pushed for more from PDP including a Presidential berth.

Considering how poor APC scored in the last Presidential elections in Aligbo and how that party won in the end, Mazi Kwankwo is right, Ndigbo need to do better as regarding who they align with politically.

You are wrong sir.....igbos voted zik,he became gov general, they voted shagari,obasanjo,yar adua,gej and they all became presidents,the only point igbos are getting it wrong is the timing for their agitation to become President and the approach of their major protagonist in obi is rather vile,counter productive and dysfunctional ideologically.

Since when did being a Fulani and a Northerner become a pariah? The Fulanis and Northerners made Tinubu president after he ran on muslim-muslim ticket in a quest to get their votes. They remain the largest voting bloc in the country. Obi would have been president today if he got 25% of the Fulani and Northern votes in 2023.

Even pairing with atiku wouldn't have won them the presidency because obi doesn't have that influence to tell even his obidients to vote anybody but himself,his obidient movement should have long looked beyond obi going into 27 and should have strategically aligned with the SW knowing fully well tinubu would need his second term and obi stood no chance.....they should have instead pushed for policy advocacy such as restructuring, state police,fiscal federalism,tougher laws against corruption etc.

When the presidency rotates back south by 39,the igbos would then be in poll position to get the presidency even ahead of the SS but as it is now the SS has proven to be far more politically sophisticated than tbey are.

But their decisions have proven to be right over and over again. Just look at what the people they didn't vote for that became presidents have turned the country into.
This is why democracy is not always the best form of Government, because it have the propensity to give power to fõõlish people in large numbers.

Igbos should maintain their stance, let it be that there was a tribe that warned people but the people did not heed the warmings.

Hahaha 🤣 😂 an Igbo thread

As usual aswani must appear to drop his usual stuff 🌽 😏

Igbos are happy and will remain happy they had absolutely nothing to do with the advent nor continuation of the terrorist party called APC 🤗

Make una keep voting for the axe because it's handle is made of wood

To show your statement is completely senseless, if we say una no vote for MKO you start wailing that you vote Obasanjo n he is a Yoruba man contesting against Falae another Yoruba man.

As the man don expose say una no vote Buhari n Tinubu you can continue crying.

You're simply a flying fart in the wind 😇

And so what

And both became the worst presidents this country has ever produce

Lmao Nigerians and milking every opportunity, small video Una done add ads

SW didn't vote for Obasanjo in 1999 but he became president.


Babablu Bulabu

It only proves that SE are not accomplice to the combo disaster of Buhari and Tinubu.

A case study needs to be made on why people love the disaster of Buhari and Tinubu.

That actually excuses the Igbos from the woeful failures of those two.
It still positions the Igbos as visionaries and people with foresight, as well as highly advanced people that some others may need millions of light years to catch up with.
