See let me tell you the difference between the Yoruba and Ibo...

A Yoruba man is the most rational human being I have ever come across. A Yoruba man above all else will tell himself the truth, hence before other people know it the Yoruba man has a plan for his survival.

On the other hand, the ibo man is a very sentimental being and quick to make irrational decisions even when faced with better facts. An example is Rochas, he gave ibos a reason he contested apc PRIMARIES and I think his reasons are very reasonable, rather than support him, the whole of ibo rather made him an object of ridicule. Another is when Jonathan came to anambra state and he told ibo people that have the most private jets in Nigeria, we told ibo people that is a blatant lie but you called us names, just a few weeks back NCAA released the names of private jet owners in Nigeria, please go and that list and do the math if ibos are up to 10%. you shouldn't allow people play on your emotions.

We all have our strength and weaknesses, politics is not just for the ibo man. look at both tribes historically, while the Yorubas are republican in nature the ibos are egalitarian in nature. you are who you are, learn from it, become better.

an alliance with the north will never happen or with the south south. you know that is the truth. the only tribe in Nigeria that has ever treated the ibo people fairly is the Yoruba nation. Till today ibo people are still fighting for abandoned property in the south south, while all ibo property in south west and rent was retuned and paid to the owners after the war. search your heart, you know all I have said is the undiluted truth.

eCollynzo:
Look at the election results, who didn't stand for anything? It is the Yorubas, they were neither here nor there making their results irrelevant just like in 2011. Even the bible speaks against lukewarmness.
Igbos have proven that they can be trusted till the very end, we stood for what we believe in and were resolute about it both within and outside our region.
No regrets whatsoever.

That's d thing that disappoints me about this forum.
we all claim to be educated but get unnecessarily emotional over religious or ethnic issues.

My point was and is....I don't mind a president from the SE. However, it won't be handed to you on the basis of rotation. SE &SS do not constitute enough votes to get it.

Move out, form alliances with other regions. It would take a lot of work, might not even happen in 4years.

The way the SE is politricking is not working and the sooner they change it the better.

I hate to say this but the SW has enjoyed favourable political patronage since 1999. When GEJ realised he needed the SW, he was going up and down bribing, it was too late for him.

Why didn't he do that much in the SE? Cos the SE is taken for granted and they don't exercise their strength.

peace...

I'm out!!!

akinyeleaa:
No mind those irrelevant clowns. Them think say dem count.

Chiddysville:
I don't think the SE misfired; they stood for what they believed in and that's what true heroes are known for. More so, the president elect should do a soul searching why he is never accepted in the two geopolitical regions since 2003

eCollynzo:
Adewole Segun Anthony, the only resonable thing you said in that post is that you won't quote me again, I can't remember when last I quoted your first on Nairaland, I only reply to your mentions. Those monikers you mentioned to belong to me, maybe if you had studied a better course than that Agric econs you would have been able to figure that out.

Doncolio:
The SE needs to get over the belief that North and SW is their opposition. The Ibos will always be loved and accepted by Nigerians for a leadership position in the future if they can truly put Nigeria and not their tribe first.

#GodBlessNigeria

ibnjarir93:
Rochas is an embodiment of that.

lyntiffany:
o! pls Collins stop Agric economics and management is a nice course go figure.

mikeansy:
A lot of you need to grow up really that's all I can say

The south east should have no regrets about it's political choices and stick with the PDP and APGA come rain come shine!

You guys can share power at the center however you like. In 2 weeks time Rochas Okorocha will be booted out of Douglas house. Please do with him what you may in your cabinet.

Everyone does not have to be in the winning party.

Come 2019 as planned the PDP will as planned present a younger northern candidate with a VP from south east then we will see how popular whoever APC present truly is.

Like I say, you guys should bother yourself on how to run a successful government and leave the south east alone.

The south east is more interested in the implementation of the confab report than any silly position APC has to offer. APC for whatever reason chose to stay away from the confab. We will see what APC does with that confab report. It's not about who is up or who is down.

Let's see how you can raise Nigeria up!

mikeansy:


Where are they now?

They only elected a VP and we no go hear word

Come 2019 we will play the same game the SW plays and help elect a Northerner too

Anyday APC puts forward a south westerner for Presidency PDP and South East will align with the North too!

Let power continue to remain in the North!

Jaydenphoenix:
Someone once said if you stand for nothing....you fall for anything (or something like that).

Well my point is, the SE thinks it's about time they produce a Nigerian president. I do too but it's not going to be handed to them on a platter.

They need to go out and work for it....I mean work hard.

They need to pair up with either the west or the north. they r not talking to the north and they r busy fighting the western guys over Lagos.

Now, a new govt would be constituted by a party the SE didn't vote for. It's back to square one.

What amazes me is that the best the SE got under the Pdp in the past 16yrs is the Senate president office....and they still keep voting Pdp.

How does that work?

Kingspin:
Ur thread go around and come to you. Two or three people cannot live togather except they agree. We have not thats simply and you cannot stay in ur house to agree for everybody. South Africa is peaceful today because, the white and black people lead by Mandela signed, an agreement and honor it. Nigeria will not be a different case. Unfair practise is what is keeping the country down. You build airport, seaport and refuse to build to others even when it so so obvious that these people need them. Is that the Nigeria we all desire but refuse to work toward it. Buhari has a big work at hand, either to do away with the past or face reality of this nation thereby, send a new signal down to the ss/se part of Nigeria.. Time will prove just that.

NewNigeriaMind:


Nigeria owes no tribe special considerations.

Buhari will rule this nation as Nigeria president, not as president of a section of the country alone like it was with jonathan. Let me emphasize it again: AS THE PRESIDENT OF ALL NIGERIANS.

SHALLOM

ArodewilliamsT:
Will the yorubas now promote the implementation the regional govt they so much cried for at the Confab?

lyntiffany:
I love this comment, stand on what you believe learnt that from my able president gej. You know the second name of yorubas ?Chameleon. They are neither here or there.

Buhari has a chance to begin true reconciliation and development of the entire country.

He can very well resort to the self destructive path of we against them. Nigeria shall continue to have one crisis or insurgency after another. Needless to say development will continue to elude it.

kaybams1:


And how has they fared by 'standing by what they believe in'?. Who told you Yorubas and Hausas too didn't have what they believe in? They were just more politically matured to know that in order to advance the political will of your people, some compromise are necessary. Buhari was normally known to be incorrigible and rigid so no one expected that he will merge with cunning Yorubas like Tinubu and his ilks. But then, he learnt that atimes to ascend to great heights, you need to stoop low. That simple fact is what eludes the igbo tribe and what keeps them where they are.

Scatterboss:


Really? They are chameleon yet GEJ won in Ekiti state, got 40 percent in other SW states and was close in Ondo. They played the politics of not putting there egg in one basket, thats the real game of Politics.

omazus:
Your point is the real definition of chameleon.

raumdeuter:


2019 Buhari would go for a second term and by then we would have defeated any remanant of PDP

2023 Osinbajo would be presented for compensation to the SWest for the support they gave the North,

After 8yrs Osinbajo would hand over to Tambuwal

After 8yrs Tambuwal would hand over to Fashola

After Fashola back to EL Rufai

Hope you are counting the number of yrs in the wilderness

zendy:


That's exacly it. The Igbos never believed in Buhari and as such,did not vote for him. Another thing which some don't realise is that the issue of an "Igbo president" is more of a psychological thing than anything else. The North has held power for over 30 years but are no where near the south-west,South-East or South-south in terms of overall development. It's the people that develop their land not the office of the president. The presidency or an "Igbo president" is highly overrated. Even if the North hold power for another 30 years,they still will not catch-up with the South.
