I will love to see David Mark on the floor of the Red Chamber. How he will screen Obanikoro against all odds this time around.

The region I pity most Na the Igbo, they will be sideline for another 4 to 8 years....... they believed that they are smart when they are not..... Can never get political calculations right without bringing bigotry into everything .
Serves them right sha.
Once again the Yoruba have proved their political sophistication.

i pray make Accord nd Pdp wif Labour nt merge 2geda...coz dat s da only way dey can stop APC nd da possibility of dat is 60 percnt.
I pray things go smoothly. PDP shot themselves in the legs. Teslim n Akala shld av gvn d ticket to Seyi makinde n support him. That way, pdp will win oyo state.

Again, oyo state needs to be careful. Akala will get block votes from ogbomoso and Ibadan votes will be shared among 3 pple(Ajimobi, Ladoja and Teslim). That's another advantage for Akala but I really pray Ajimbi comes back.

Seyi Makinde shld try defect to another party. He can't win oyo state tru SDP. He shld try house of rep, after dt senate then Governorship.

Normally, the we the Igbos would have been compensated with senate president or speaker, but APC is the majority and we have no candidate that won the National assembly from APC.
The Igbos detest APC so much, now they can see the consequence.... We won't have the first, second, third or fourth citizen of Nigeria


Note: don't take the picture attached serious, it is just a joke

Why must it be igbo this igbo that? Everybody have the right to belong to any party he/she deems suitable, besides who cares about senate leader or deputy, i don't even see any meaningful gain, the ones igbo helds before does it change anyting?
Re: APC Wins 64 Seats In The Senate, Now Has Majority Status by Rexyl(m): 8:48am On Apr 01, 2015
Good for democracy but I would like a formidable opposition that will be strong to guard against exceses of government in the new dispensation. I congratulate all winners and wish them well. The acclaimed CHANGE must transform Nigeria, it shouldn't be for personal gains.

BUHARI & OSINBAJO have been given the very much, therefore much is expected from them. Four year journey consists of enough days, numerous hours and seconds to prove the stuffs in them. They shall be guided to do the best we want.
Re: APC Wins 64 Seats In The Senate, Now Has Majority Status by tomzman: 8:49am On Apr 01, 2015
I'm trying to imagine David Mark as an ordinary floor member. Chai grin

It's the Igbos I pity most. They have put all their eggs in a basket and lost all. Too bad.

I wish the next senate all the best.

David mark has 2 options. Join APC or relinquish ur position. Its sad that no SS/SE would become d next senate president since no APC senator won in that region.

Lesson learnt, don't put all ur eggs in one basket.

Even if He decamps now he cannot come and reap where he did not sow. Our next senate president is senator Bukola saraki the senate leader can go to George Akume.

Wow! We bless the Lord.
- David Mark is now a floor member
- David Mark will be challenged in court and will lose that seat in less than a year
- Kashamu the drug baron is also a floor member
- Madam Stella Bulletproof Oduah is also a floor member
- We hope Dino Melaye will be more cultured
- Senator Saraki for Senate President
- On social media, we should push them to reduce the allowances of the Legislators. Kilode?!?


Lesson learnt....those likes on Nairaland were not fake! Election is now reflective of what goes on on Social Media.

I'm so delighted. Easy for me to say #ILoveNigeria #GodBlessNigeria
David Mark is losing his seat to no one! coz, he won square and clear. If you dont like it, go hug transformer.

Yes it would be winner takes all. The igbo's sealed their faith by giving all their votes to the pdp without ever thinking of the possibility of Gej losing the election's.

Congratulations Baba but for you to also know that We voted GEJ out not because there was a better alternative but so that incompetent leaders will know and fear people's ability to ELECT, SELECT and DE-SELECT..!

Why should we endure another 4 years simply because we fear the unknown? If UNKNOWN comes in and perform same level or worst, we will vote them as well and so on until our leaders get it right.

Please sir, do not make us regret that we sacrificed our time, efforts and votes to put you where you are. Make sure you give us a positive change!

Stop inciting the igbos in this forum presently,every region must not be 100% in apc,let's not forget dat yorubas where majorly of ACN during 2011 election,and d speakership seat that was mearnt for the woman from the s/west pdp was usurped by tambuwal from north,so dat path ur rediculing the igbos has been threaded by d yorubas first,so no big deal,if it happens to igbos also,it is left for igbos to form a quality opposition to the incoming govt,so please always revert to archives if neccesary b/4 commenting.

You said it all, i posted a similar observation on my FB post last week. the igbos are intelligent people but their leaders sometimes fail to see things the way they are instead, they resort to guts and sentiment. only Okorcha saw the future and alligned with and he has been vindicated.
their leaders detest APC and called Yoruba party see what they will face in the next 4 yrs unless Buhari uses his elderly wisdom to be magnanimous and help their people. their leaders have their problem, bunch of self seeking elders only after their own pocket. who will they blame now if they cant any major position in govt?
Let speak the truth and shame the devil. This attitude of hiding behind one finger in order not to upset a certain region of the country is not my thing. After all, Northerners were called all sort of names as a result of Boko haram menace and Yorubas were called all sort of names during wild wild west political brouhaha....

Jonathan administration revealed how tribal Igbos can be if opportunity presents itself. Please I m not one of those that would come here to patronise them, let's speak the truth at all time and shame d devil. The good thing about other Nigerians is their forgiving spirit and the fact that other Nigerians easily forget things and move with their lives, otherwise Igbos would have equally been paid back with their own coins.

Prior to Jonathan administration, the new generation of Nigerians believed that Igbos were truly being marginalised at the federal level going by their "marginalisation rhetorics" year in, year out. However, it was not only a shock to me but an act of wickedness to see the same people dancing to the fact that all the sensitive governmental positions are being occupied by their sons and daughter; forgetting that one day, just one day, it ll be the turn of other people. It was the same show of shame, hatred towards other ethnic groups and Marginalisation of others under Aguiyi Ironsi administration. Aguiyi Ironsi attention was even called to the development but refused to listen. Can Igbo ever complain of marginalisation anymore in this country? Capital No.

Stop blaming their leaders; the followers are even worse than their leaders. Haven't u read their repulsive utterances on various social media platforms against Hausas and Yorubas? Were they coerced to write those gibberish against others by their leaders? No. Remember that a snake ll not give birth to goat....

Historically, Akintola tried to let Yorubas follow the footpath of Igbos as far as politics is concerned, having seen and witnessed what Igbos did in the East in 60s. The same Akintola experience back in 60s repeated itself again in last gubernatorial election in Anambra state where these people were openly preaching hatred towards Hausas and Yorubas in particular; tagged APC a Yoruba party but the good thing is that Yorubas refused to follow that footpath.....

Finally, I was having a discussion with my fellow Igbo church members on Sunday about Nigeria politics and I realised that they were all supporting Jonathan and i asked them the reason why their support were given to Jonathan, none of them could utter a word; so 8th shows that their support for Jonathan was a result of tribal sentiment

However, I only urge the new generation from the east to desist from this game of hatred.....

Peace out
