[s]Okorocha, Ngige, Õnù and other igbo big wigs in APC have a lot of explanations to do. A whole lot is at stake and having championed a political process that has upturned the incumbent president for one buhari, these restless trio now need to tell the igbo what is in there for them.. under the out-going dispensation, igbo had the deputy senate presidency, the deputy House leader, the secretary to the government, minister of finance, foreign affairs, labour, petroleum, army cheif, airforce chief at a point, etc including the heads of many parastatals which helped increase employment oppurtunities for lots of igbo youths. . Now, the SE is firmly in the opposition both in the senate, House of Representatives and the executive. No thanks to okorocha and friends maniacal approach to federal politics. We have to know how far their successfull 'coup' serves the general igbo interest and not some personal vaulting ambitions.

What are there for the igbo? Tinubu invited Buhari over to Lagos before his partys merger with buharis, unleashed an inglorious bow before reaching solid pacts aimed at furthering his sectional agenda. Did Rochas reach such agreements with this power hungry upstart from a dusty Daura? Or is he naively thinking that agreements reached after elections must have won and lost can in anyway compare in political weight and efficacy to working pacts reached before the electoral slugfest? What are those agreed benefits of a Buharis presidency to the igbo? And no, don't inundate anyone with all that sexy talks about fighting corruption, when buhari was the chairman of the PTF, more projects were done in the north and more contracts went to northern henchemen,. That was how the likes of Elrufai were made. That to me is a sort of corruption. Again; what did buhari promise Okorocha and co that helped initiate them into the gang up against Jonathan?

Mega project? Better employment oppurtuinities for our teaming youths? Jonathans confab report promises more states, more local governments, regionalism, decentralisation of power, rotationalpresidency , better reveneu formular, etc. A better census count that has the potentials of redressing all the injustices done to the SE using cooked up figures in the past such as few electoral districts, few polling booths, and so fewer voters was imminent under a census body headed by an igbo. Many many possible positives. So what are those things buhari will do better for the igbo? Every politics is local! What is there for the igbo? Whatever it is, it MUST be better than what Jonathan offered! Otherwise this "change" is stewpid for the igbo! What is there for the igbo in buharis win?[/s]

Let me also state that we have no moral justifications to start placing demands on Buhari whom we massively rejected on 28th of March. What we should do now is to approach him with humility and make him see reason why he should not neglect us in his government.

EUROBOMBER:
Why is it that our people are so myopic and don't understand the dynamics of politics? Someone is saying that we should play opposition but Berem asked a very sensible question here and that is What happened at APGA? How did we manage APGA which was supposed to be a sort of Igbo regional party? Another problem we have is arrogance and refusal to accept our mistakes. No regrets that we supported Jonathan but the Jonathan himself was not smart enough to win the elections; we did our best for him but he failed himself and now we must move on.

Any discerning Igbo person can see that we must form strong ties with the Buhari-led center. People are saying that we should kick out Rochas and I ask why? Rochas is a man that is acceptable by the Yorubas and the Northerners and can play a key figure in building bridges between these two power blocks. We MUST keep Rochas politically relevant and he MUST be returned as Governor of Imo State on Saturday.

I have always dismissed you as a GEJ drone, but with this line of reasoning, you should be the political consultant for ndigbo. I don't expect your brothers to be able to reason with you though, stooping to conquer is the most alien term in their dictionary. Imagine OP calling a bow inglorious, a bow which must have been instrumental to the APC alliance making Tinubu the 2nd most powerful person in Nigeria today. Inglorious indeed .

barcanista:
I don't know whether you understand what you mean by this statement. For the record, General Buhari was elected President of Nigeria and not President of his fans only. Every region have the constitutional right to state their demands to him whether they casted vote for him or not. However, when it has to do with sharing of offices, that has to be his prerogative.

The bold part is the reason why we have to calm down and humbly reach out to this man instead of chest-beating and shouting(Not referring to you Barcanista, you are a very smart and intelligent guy, the people I am referring to know themselves)

Those that voted for Buhari have not even started making demands yet but those that rejected him have started shouting about what Buhari should do for us. Wonderful!

In this life, a man may have to bend low to rise to the skies sometimes and this principle my Igbo brothers don't seem to understand or deliberately refuse to understand. I opened a thread yesterday to appeal for calm and trust me I know why I opened that thread but there is not hateful name and curse some of my people did not use to describe me. people should be able to see far into tomorrow and stop thinking of now only.

handie:
You ibos lack political calculationss seriously. A Buhari presidency is your only hope of an ibo presidency in 2023. With power in the north for 8 years, it'll undoubtedly return to the south and with the south west and south south already tasting the presidency, the next logical zone for a southern president is the south east. As for ibos not gonna have any major position in the Legislature, you guys shot yourselves in the foot. From your description of Buhari as an upstart from Daura, i can safely say you're a GMB hater but guess what? That cheeky upstart is gonna be your president till 2019 at the very least. Deal with that or, please leave Nigeria..... The border is open to Chad, Niger, and Benin..... Sudan and Somalia are still options o

barcanista:
Personally, I don't care which tribe produce what in the next administration. I have never advocated my tribe be "given" this appointment or another tribe shouldn't though I believe in fairness. Election has come and gone, the SE is right to say they choose to remain in opposition. The talk of Senate President or House Speaker is not even a good factor for a change of mind because these positions have been occupied before now with no significant influence of improvement. Buhari and his party can appoint who they want but[b] PDP must maintain his Eastern stronghold[/b]

says who. The yoruba will be at it again after Buhari and then the hausa/fulanis that is how the baton would be changing under APC. They don't have rotation as a party principle. By implication let the highest grossing candidate win it. This way only the yorubas will stand the hausa/fulani. Like we are back to the era of yore!

eyeview:


All my igbo friends in Lagos voted buhari and APC because they wanted change from the corruption that had characterized GEJ's govt. But alas,the victory came and the yorubas have now turned it into a tribal victory. Very typical.
Arthur nzeribe said something in 1993 that I will never forget. He said in 1993,they all worked with abiola to deliver their various states to SDP. They put aside tribal sentiments and worked for abiola's success. But when d results started trickling in and it became obvious that abiola will win,they converged at abiola's house to watch the results and celebrate the victory. But on arrival,they were barricaded off by the yorubas who had turned it into a 'yoruba parapo' affair.

Enyia, stop this your long epistle. Tell us what concessions Okorocha and co got from Buhari before they decided to jump ship?


You say we can't make demands from Buhari? But we should start begging him? So Okorocha and co joined the Buhari bandwagon and worked against an Igbo friendly President, so that Ndiigbo will turn to beggars before Buhari, while Okorocha Yoruba friends occupy the dinning table with Buhari?


You need your head examined!

Change2015:


The APC accepts rotation, but when the time comes, there must be a viable candidate from the region. After Buhari the next president comes from the west. If Ndigbo don't have the VP slot then, it will be a shame. However we must only present candidates with popular appeal because we are not in the business of losing elections. Osinbajo has proven his value and has the capacity to be president. An igbo VP must show the same.

Curlieweed:


Bleep Apeeshit! We did the right thing by comprehensively rejecting them in the SE. Buhari had nothing to offer 30 years ago and I doubt if he has recently grown any new brain cells.

Forget the sleek American branding and abandon all hope of progress with Apeeshit at the centre. And that is the more reason why we should kick Roaches out of Douglas House and remove every stain of Janjawid from our beloved homeland. What have all the Federal office holders in the past achieved for the SE?

Making Roaches politically relevant is the worst trap we can set for ourselves. When and if Roaches contests for the 2019/2023 Presidency, our detractors will dig into the archives and "discover" that he was fired for corruption by Obj. We will be forced to defend "our" own and it will be shamefull. It's a lot better to reject Roaches now rather than later.

APGA is our party. They have done a noble job in Anambra. Let's vote for them in Imo and Abia.

EUROBOMBER:


Shut up! Okorocha joined the APC long before Buhari was made their presidential candidate. If you call yourself a begger, that is your plate of shiit not mine. Enough of this nonsense aggression that has taken us nowhere so far.

EUROBOMBER:


When will get to that bridge, we will cross it but we must not make the mistake of putting all our eggs in one basket like we did with Jonathan who was looking and watch himself lose the elections forgetting that some people staked everything for him.

pazienza:



APC cannot win with a Yoruba president, the Yorubas are minorities in the south, and the North will always vote for a Northern president only. The moment APC presents a Yoruba president, and the PDP presents a Northern president with SS/SE VP, APC will lose, as only Yorubas will vote for them.

Your act in this 2015 election means there can never be a SW president in the future.

pazienza:


So what concessions did Okorocha make from
APC? Ndiigbo coming to their Northern president to beg or is it humility you repackaged it as?

Go tell your employers that Ndiigbo refuse to prostrate! We will stay on our feet and weather this storm, Buhari is the one that should be coming to us for support if we play our game well, he already have the Yorubas in his pocket, so he nolonger need to work for their support , but he has to work for ours. PDP is likely to field a Northern candidate come 2019, Buhari votes in the North will be divided, he will need us on his side to get through, I am sure he already knows that.

We are now the beautiful bride! And it will remain so, if we don't allow APC any foothold in our region. Come 2023 when Yorubas seek to be president, we will exert our influence, and displace them from the centre, by aligning with a strong northern candidate that will make VP and other concessions to us. We won't get that if we join your useless APC.

[s]Oga Please Take this a reply to That useless Post You have been sharing

I will elevate Eze Ndiigbo to status of Oba of Lagos.Who made this comment , A Yoruba man, If I say,
I am coming to marry your wife, would you go home and Threaten to Kill your wife, or would you take
up the Fight with Me

Igbo Will Determine who rules Lagos, Is there any evidence , Video or Otherwise, I have searched online
and No credible links to That comment .Has any ethnic group Determine who rules lagos and why Not
threaten Ubah for making such a Comment.

LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.Again Evidence Not Rumour Milling.

IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM.Point 1
all again, Blame Jimi not Igbos.

WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO, Again I humbly ask for
Evidence Not Rumor Mongering.

Can the Obi of Onitsha Igwe Achebe or Sarkin Kano Accept, Obviously Not , They are Intelligent and
would verify Rumors before lashing out in an Undignified manner.

Can any Tribe Claim Onitsha or Aba, Anyone that wants to Claim anything should do so.It does
Not Change the Nature of what is Been claimed

Can the Obi of Onitsha Accept , Elevation of Sarkin Hausa to Obi status.Probably Not , He would
curse The Originator of such an Idea but would Never threaten The Lives of Hausas for the
uncouth Comment of his Kinsman.

Thank you.[/s]

Change2015:


Your position is surprising but sensible. But the first step is to build political unity in the East. There are too many discordant voices coming from there so finding allies is made difficult because they don't see how any group can deliver the bulk of the eastern vote. This is why the alliance of Buhari and Tinubu makes sense. Consider the sacrifices the ACN/AD made by voting against pdp for almost 16yrs. Now they have secured the ultimate prize on their terms. There are few igbo politicians with influence beyond their States, and thry believe too much in being employed by the current government when it is clear that benefit is 99% personal. For someone like Obi to defect to pdp is beyond shameful but it makes others wary too. You really need to find better leadership.
