there was no miscalculation bro.

Some of us made it clear that were were ready to sail or sink with Jonathan.
His failure has further exposed Nigeria for what it is.

Imagine an elected President dividing his country into 95% and 5%.
If another election is held tomorrow, I will still be 5% or even less.

Common brother let us give Buhari a break. Don't forget that Buhari came to us twice before he went to the Yorubas. Your first choice says a lot about what is in your mind. He worked with Okadigbo first time then Ume Ezeoke second time. What wrong has Buhari done to us abeg?

We are not being fair to Buhari honestly. Let's drop this baseless hatred and support him.

What if Buhari build the secong Niger bridge that the weak Jonathan could not do? What if he ends up giving us a seaport?

The reason they're a non-issue is because they are bent on grandstanding and blackmail to get their way instead of diplomacy, repentance, and reconciliation. They don't realize northerners, unlike Yorubas, have no patience for foolish and empty pride and arrogance.

We will know when they truly want to join in nation building and I'm sure we will all give them a chance. Until then, they can protest from now till thy kingdom come.

Gbam.

Not even 1 zone. Even 2 or 3 might not. The combo of SE, SS and NC can never deliver a presidential win against SW, NW and NE.

Politicking is all about bridge building and positioning, instead of continuous and sustained relationship destruction via calling of other unprintable names, born out of inferiority complex, lack of political sagacity and acumen to effectively navigate the stormy political water of this country.

This simple political arithmetics is what my people have refused to recognise out of ridiculous pride.

If the we can reach out to the west and parts of the north the presidency is already taken.

Instead of us to calm down and do this my people are shouting Biafra which we all know is somehow linked to Jonathan's defeat whose people now call as expantionists.

A United Nigeria is better than biafra. It seems we Igbos are bad losers, if I can remember in 1960 after the coup, Aguiyi Ironsi became Head of state, the Igbos didn't clamour for succession. The hausas didn't clamour for succession too instead they fought to be the top and they did a counter coup and became Head of state, that was when the Igbos started clamouring for succession because they were defeated. Fast forward to 2015, we were defeated by making the wrong choice in Jonathan, we have started again. I want to tell my igbo brothers that we are not cowards, we should stay back and fight and try reclaiming the top place. We shouldn't always give up. And even if we want biafra we shouldn't make the mistake of adding other people's land without atleast 80percent authorisation from them. Biafra of 1967 is not the same as now.

We did not vote for OBJ in 1999 but we were certain that head or tail, one of us was becoming the president and we so care less.

Infact the slogan in SW then was "it is either Olu or Olu".

In the annals of Nigeria's history where have you seen the two leading contenders being fron.the same ethnicity, region or hemisphere, apart from that election?

That is yoruba's political sagacity at play.

That says it all.
Sorry to burst your bubble, in 2007, the leading two contestant were Buhari and yar'adua from the same state of kastina unlike obasanjo and falae who were from different state

To be candid, the Igbos have the right to call for secession if that is their dream and aspiration.

The question remains, why are they calling others unprintable names just because they want to achieve their aim. FOr that reason alone, others will gladly frustrate their effort just to jeopardise their ambition, ambition and dream.

Moreover, is the clamour for secession being done the right and constitutional way? It is more of an intellectual warfare that involves high level politicking, tact and subtle but efficient diplomacy, both locally and at international level. They will abuse yorubas, northerners,SS people that does not believe in their dreams, britain, catholic church etc. Who will ever take them serious? No region can secede alone or even alter the constitution alone without bridge building.

How many pro-biafra activists have they elected into positions of authorities to be shouting for their cause in Abuja? None. Even the regional party that was started by the biafran warlord Ojukwu is near comatose --AkPuGA.

Kanu will not be released and the world will forget him in that dungeon by December and move on and NOTHING will happen. The best that can happen, is the continued locking up of shops in SE for early morning jogging exercise.

This is where we Igbos get it wrong. The Yorubas have only repeated what we did many years back. When we joined the north we also determined Nigeria's political destiny by producing Shagari/Ewueme.

It is common knowlwedge that once the north aligns with any of the big tribes in the south it is game over and that is what happened with Buhari/Osinbajo.

We could have evn gotten the VP slot in this administration but our baseless hatred for the APC forced them to turn to the Yorubas because they saw that no matter what they did, Igbos had made up their minds.

What do we get from the ijaws after deciding to sink with them even when there were suggestions to abandon Jonathan and align with APC? Today they call us expansionists.

Bro, I personally think we should start building bridges with parts of the north and the SW to produce the next president. If we play our cards well we will get it because it is very clear that after Buhari, should the presidence come down south it should go to the east.


Let us drop sentiments and emotions and be objective please.
Please stop educating these fools who continue to be deluded.
Our problem started in 2010 when Ndigbo clamoured for GEJ to run for president in 2011,when we were reminded that the SE was to produce the president in 2015,our people refused and started singing no zoning all because of GEJ the Ijaw man.
When parties came together to form APC, APGA was invited but it refused instead aligning itself with the sinking PDP all for GEJ.
Now the same SE that wanted no zoning for 2011 election because of GEJ has now zoned the presidential ticket to the north for 2019,now who is the fool here.
My people always drinking panadol for someone else's headache, not as if the Ijaws gives a hoot about any Igbo man.

God bless you. If you check everything very well you will see that we Igbos are the real architects of our political marginalisation. We are always quick to blame Yoruba for everything and never checking ourselves.

I remember back then I strongly believed in rotation, I clamoured for the north to complete Yar Ardua's term but my Igbo brothers were all over the place shouting Jonathan. Today you can see the mess we are into, because of shame we are shouting Biafra.

I am beginning to think that something is fundamentally wrong with us as a people I am sorry to say.

When will we learn humilty? In life there are times you have to stoop to conquer. Even the bible say pride goes before a fall and also says humility comes before honour.

I wish I could wierd much influence in the political space, Igbo politicians are too myopic and self centered.

It is obvious that pride, arrogance, miss calculation and mistake by the igbos that led to the civil unrest in the 70s is the same trend another generation of the Igbo youths with poor lesson of history is about to repeat.

Over bloated sentiment over national issues that doesn't appeal to their political emotions will always be fought with riotous tendency.

Memory has not failed us over the various role Igbos played over time in political matters that was largely condemned but favoured their interest has not been forgotten. (Kalu 1 million match comes to mind).

In over all, they need to swallow their pride, come out clean and begin to build bridges politically. All this protest, apparently, is further creating more rif between other tribes and the igboes.

I am from Enugu(not Igbo par say), and i'm concern over what the future hold for the east with the insults and infantry politics of sentimentality adopted by these people.

When you spend good enough to discriminate others, tell me, who become your friends? The Americans as mighty as they are, need allied nations to survive. Time that should channel towards strategizing, is used to seek relevance through treacherous means, blackmails , lies and the back door.

You'd realise most of our people will avoid this thread because they know the bitter truth but will never accept it.
I only hope we've learnt our lesson so as to strategize better come 2019,align with at least one or two of the other groups but unfortunately the Igbos find it so hard to vote ourselves for president or vice.
Let's just pray the situation changes in 2019.

When Zik came together with Balewa, did you see yoruba whining about it like bush babies you lots are?

When Ekwueme came together with Shagari, did you see yorubas rolling on the floor and wailing like y1bos are doing?

When Arthur Nzeribe came together with IBB to thwart June 12 won by a Yoruba man, did you see yorubas calling y1bos names because of that?

When Daniel Kanu organised a 5million man match for Abacha over June 12 issue, did you see yorubas calling for the heads of y1bos?

Those are just few but key coming together of the y1bos and northerners.

Keep licking your pain till 2039 because after Northerners are through in 2023, SW will take over till 2013 and after that notherners again till 2039 and if you are lucky and well behaved enough by then, we might pity you in 2039 if SS is magnanimous enough. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy
