But we already have an igbo president (Jonathan azikwe)

[s]They had better join hands with jonathan now to scuttle project Nigeria for if Nigeria continues to exist beyond 2015, they will smell their a55es! Not only will they never lead the country, they will be calculatedly marginalised and I mean severely and it will be deservedly so.

Okoros, if you have ears, ensure that Nigeria ceases this year o otherwise you are on your own![/s]
Loads of shiit. Nigeria will continue to exist and the Igbos will take their place. You should pray that the APC succeeds ooo because if they don't, the yorubas will forever remain in opposition wink grin grin grin

Coward, what are you waiting for to declare your odua republichuh

nigerinstitute:
For the cohesion of the Nigerian experiment it is high time for the emergence of an Igbo President from SE. With the rotational nature of Nigerian politics if a northerner wins this election the next President should rotate to the SE. It is the only region that has not taken the reigns of the ultimate position in Nigeria; save for the short period after the 1st coup when Gen Ironsi assumed the position, by virtue of being the senior military Gen after the Nzegwu led coup. The emergence of an Igbo president has been problematic firstly due to their lack of unity to agree on a single formidable candidate, there is also the yoke of the civil war, the impression amongst other regions that an Igbo president may not be trustworthy and may hasten the breakup of Nigeria. Following APGA's (largely Igbo supported party) endorsement of GEJ; Ndigbo seem to be fully in support of GEJ’s candidacy, this appears to be a naive political calculation and strategic mistake, their stay in the doldrums away from the presidency will continue for at least another 12 years all things being equal. They ought to have tactfully remained nuetral imploring thier supporters to vote APGA for state & legislative positions but vote with their conscience for the presidency. If GEJ wins, the next president is most likely to be a Northerner and that president is likely to run for two terms. If GMB wins after his mandate the presidency is likely to rotate to the south. The SE should be scouting and grooming for their candidate now who will be ready for elections in four years time or eight years.

Zik had a few chances but lost his oppurtunity by liaising with the British to support Tafawa Balewa in 1959 and in failing to agree a unified candidate between himself and Awolowo in 1979 & 1983. Funny enough Ojukwu would have been an interesting President of FRN had he played his cards right. He spoke both Hausa & Yoruba fluently lived in all parts of Nigeria, he was well educated, eloquant & knowledgable but flawed by an overbloated ego; like most Presidents, which was his eventual downfall. Despite the numerous areas of synergy and intermingling of peoples there has been no unification between the West & East in Nigerian politics which would be a formidable partnership along with progressive elements in the North & SS to propel the nation forward

Our prediction is that Goodluck’s main support will come from SS, SE and minute pockets in SW & NC. He is unlikely to win in the North as he didn’t win there in 2011 when factors were more favourable for him. For Buhari to win he needs all the support of the SW pockets of SS or SE plus majority vote from his base in the North, NE votes are not predictable but has core APC support. What are your thoughts are you in support of an Igbo President to end Igbo marginalisation, if so what steps are being taken to make this a reality who is a good candidate. Or do you think Nigeria is not ready for an Igbo president and why not. If not now when, for One Naija
This is not the right time, we know the calculations that is why we must do anything possible to ensure that Jonathan wins next month. After Jonathan, power will shift to the north with an Igbo vice, then we can continue permutations from there but for now, all resources and energy should be channelled toward keeping Jonathan in office. cool

In due time.

However, first you need to learn to play politics as it should. There are no permanent friends or enemies in politics only interest.

Referring to people from SW as Ofe Mmanu and North as Almajiri won't win you friends. Claiming Lagos as No Man's Land won't either.

Also claiming marginalisation from other tribes due to Civil War (however true this may be) isn't helping. The wise ones have learnt lessons and moved on. The corrupt leaders still make deals with other tribes in private but openly proclaim other tribes as your enemies.

Begin to strategise on how to align with other tribes. Right now, Rochas is arguably the best placed from the major parties to actualise this dream. Yet a lot of Igbos even refused to support him dis last time.

Permit me to say this, No one will simply "give" you presidency because its your time.
That's like a graduate sitting at home waiting for a job cause he has graduated afterall and its the duty of Govt to provide jobs.
Reasonable post, devoid of hate and bitterness.

Qn the lighter note..... I hope your permutations will bring out a Tokunbohuh? president o... not the characters I am seeing now. Your problem is agreeing on one from amongst yourselves on this matter. Maybe we should consider someone from the diaspora.

but you are the loudest empty chest beating Igbo bigot that taunts other tribes. Word of advice for you, keep laying claims to lagos while other tribes are CALCULATING how to get to the presidency. When the opposition party was being formed , only apga opted out of tthe alliance. See your life now! Being slave to a MINORITY group(I jaws). Pdp has large majority of hausas and yorubas, same with the opposition party. ONLY igbos are represented in just 1 party. That is a suicide politically. Like I always say, Igbos need to start thinking with their head and not dumb empty chedt beating sentiments

Lamentations of a loser. Weep for yourself because it will take something extraordinary for another yoruba to get there. We will actualize the presidency through the PDP that is why we must ensure that Jonathan wins this election. There are no permanent friends nor enemies but interests. We will build bridges as they come. For now, we have good relationship with the SS & MB because the "North" of 1966 has ceased to exist.

We are not slaves to any minority but we believe in Justice and fairness that is why we are backing up the minority when the hausa/fulani/yoruba have ganged up against them. Wake up mr, 1966 is gone forever and this is 2015. cheesy cheesy

yorubas will have to give us their support when we need it or we stop marrying them tongue tongue

Namadi Sambo is a core-northerner from the NW and we are giving him full support, just watch and see us play our game. I pity you, yoruba might have to do opposition for the next 100yrs in this country if buhari fails this fourth time and I know he definitely will fail as usual. wink wink

And let me add this before you commit suicide, we know that Lagos is your land, those guys always shouting "No-Man-s-Land" do so to taunt you when you provoke them online. Eat your Lagos embarassed embarassed embarassed

kettykin do u think south east and south south popolution have enough number of voters to vote 4 igbo person? Sorry to say even if Nzeogwu plus ojukwu will be resurrected they will never repeat the mistake they made in the 1960s.
The real population of Nigerians as was captured in the national identity card project which obasanjo discovered and abandoned the project shows igbos as having the largest population in Nigeria, when you add the population to the population of niger delta and the Middle belt /northern minority then you have a very big unstoppable force.

As per nzeogwu issue, when the north bring up another ahmadu Bello then they should be ready for another nzeogwu.

Notice that I never involved ojukwu, because nzeogwu was all that was needed to truncate what ever plans or wishes the fulani had in their wild dream of conquering and dipping Koran into the sea

First of all I'm 4rm SS plus it's only a maniac that thinks anybody who has a negative view of the igbos are northerners and it looks like your life is full of frustrations and ppl like you will most definitely die of High blood pressure.

^^^You've been listening to too many cock-and-bull tales! And what's worse is you believe them!!

You'd just love Igbos to abandon GEJ and support Mazi Chekwas Okorie wouldn't you......thereby giving your man Buhari a clear advantage! Igbos are taking a pragmatic approach and wouldn't want to unwittingly give an advantage to the very forces that have hated, murdered, marginalized and ganged-up against us from the late 60s to the coming of GEJ! They wouldn't let their guard down just because one Mazi Okorie is contesting!

When you say 'the north' have been supporting Buhari since 2003 despite knowing he doesn't stand a chance in hell, try and qualify just where you're referring to when you mention 'north'!

You really don't know Ndigbo if you think a Jim Nwobodo can take a bribe, put it in his pocket, and then teleguide the entire Igbo nation on where to cast their votes on polling day.......as if we were zombies! If there's one group of independent and republican-minded people in Nigeria it's Ndigbo, and you know it! Again i refer you to the second paragraph for an idea on why we vote for who we vote for......which is non of your business i hasten to add!

Cheers bros!

If I remember correctly (I am getting along in age lol) she had once said she wishes Igbos will pull out and declare Biafra again, so that Nigeria will break up; and that this time, they/SW will be in support of the secession, so they can also be able to break away to form Oduduwa as well.

It seems to me that the reason they just can't let the Igbos be is that their confidence in themselves is low. They feel any action they take has to somehow be connected to the Igbos.

This could be due to generational purchases of land, especially in Lagos, for money - so much so that their prosperity or owambe money was literally in the hands of Igbos (buying land from them).

This is now affecting everything they do, it seems...

My friend, where exactly are you from (and reside)? do you want to meet up so we can carry this discussion further?

I am sure you have heard that phrase that goes something like "Over my dead body.."? Right?

Now, that usually means, that you'd have to kill that person (speaker) first before doing whatever the challenge was...

Listen, very carefully... I have no problems you guys killing everything that moves, chicken and lizards...

however, we want to face you and fight like men, first. If you are strong as you claim, you would want tto fight me/us and teach us lessons we won't forget and not mess with you again...

But where we have a prolem and think it stinks! is whwen instead of fighting, you choose not to face us men, and start attacking children, women, pregnant mothers, disabled or handicap persons, and as you said, chickens and lizards.

When real men fight, they face the opponent, before going for defenceless civilians. There are laws about refugees and even POWs (prisoners of war) ... it just seems that the Igbos, maybe it is because they are Christians, majorly, seek to abide by these laws, but they should learn from the Israelites and stop taking nonsense from you all... and this Buhari's obsession with his frog-eyed enabler, might just be it...

anyways, back to you seeking for a fight - I put it to you, dear Aboki: that any day you guys want to weige war against the Igbos (in this 21st century)? it will be a day never to be forgotten. That is a promise.
Re: Time For An Igbo President by gwales: 5:19pm On Feb 11, 2015
the igbos are their greater undoing, they are busy fighting and insulting other tribes. they blame the hausa and yoruba for their failures thereby burning all bridges. they only igbo pple who are interacting with other tribes are rochas and nice, but guess Wat? these pple have received the most insult just because of associating wit yoruba and hausa not knowing dat they needed these tribes for their dreamt to come true. the yoruba and hausa control both SW NE and NW and I don't c how an igbo man can become president without d support of these group.
