"We" indeed!

If u don't ,me and many other well meaning Igbos want it.

VANHELLSING:
Your moniker should go like this...abokiprince because ur reasoning is at par with them.




We have made it unequivocally clear, we want out of this accursed and unGodly union. We don't want to share a country with pedophilias anymore. Our underage girls are now endangered specie simply because we are cohabiting thesame danm country with Muslims. We want a nation we can call our own, where our young daughters will not be subjected to harassment and abduction by the emirs and their subject, for se.x and early marriage.

jahsharon:
Mr Chairman, you are wrong; it is not difficult but impossible. No Ibo will ever be Nigeria's president. Ibos will be president of Biafra on paper.

Abagworo:
The problem of Igbo is clannishness which is worse than the tribalism they depict at national level. Rochas Okorocha is the wisest, most prominent and most nationally accepted among the Igbo political elite but is being fought by a combination of Igbos(not Yorubas, not minorities, not Northerners) to make sure he doesn't near the Presidency. You can verify this Igbo problem with Senate Presidency during OBJ era where within 5 years all Southeast States produced a Senate President.

Biafra is not an option as it is only people who failed to see beyond the Utopian hypothesis that have fallen prey to the hope of el dorado.

Adaure4ever:
I may be politically naive but lets say If Buhari and Osibanjo tenure ends in 2023, in terms of Fairness, I think South East should get the APC presidential flag in 2023..

Sunky200:
well said my brother, you understand their failure in national politics.

the worst being their refusal to accept their wrongs and yet forcing their regional philosophy on others

greatiyk4u:
I can see u are judging with what you see here on Nairaland.

Emancipation:
Northerners have ruled for over 40 years, has the north developed? In fact they are poorer today than in the 60s

Look at south west. What did obasanjo presidency do for them? Compare south west today to the east.

I will pick development 1 million times over useless presidency. The East is developing at a fast pace. What I saw with my two eyes still shocks me. So to hell with the useless presidency.

Babatundetinubu:
No way....the presidency comes back to the SW... ...Jonathan has already taken up the slot for the east which includes SS and SE....I shall do everything to ensure this happens..

Emancipation:
Name one important thing Igbo presidency will do for Igbos in the current system?

Sunky200:
being the president of this country shouldn't be about what a region/tribe will benefit from his or her administration but the country at large

CandyDiamond:
Since all this years that Nigeria have not produce an Igbo president, have Nigeria become paradise on earth or has Osun,Ondo,Borno,Sokoto,Zamfara etc becomes better than other states in Nigeria, if you hold other people down out of envy, you are also holding yourself down

kingzizzy:
We Igbos don't need the presidency, what good will it do us? What good has it done others who have held it in the past? We Igbos should be concentrating on far more important things that the presidency

Chimezie250:
This is why the country is so backwards, a country where it citizens can not freely vie for national political post, what we should be interested, his qualifications, achievement, his plans and how to achieve it,unity of the Nation, Nigeria will never move forward when some tribe or citizens are been treated as a second class citizens, the govt in power may favour your tribe, do you know what the next one will do, one thing I m proud of, we will never set our region on fire or join other major tribe to intimidate the minority tribe,

Ovamboland:
Then what exactly do you want? You vote people who can't present your wants in the national assembly, your legislators are the most strident supporters of unitary system you agree limits your potentials in a united Nigeria. When time comes to reduce central powers, your reps vote against it, they are never in the forefront of agitation for state police, removal of railway, power, seaports, airports from exclusive list.
I see you all as mere jokers and confused people

Emancipation:
So basically in other words you are saying the same thing I am saying. Igbo presidency will not do shit to improve the daily lives of Igbo people. An Igbo president will have to appease and favor the north disproportionately in order for peace to reign... So please have the God damned presidency. It is meaningless especially in the current system of the federation.


I will choose an Igbo Businessman or Governor with vision over useless presidency anytime anyday. They are the ones that have the most impact on Igbo people lives.

mandax:
Sorry, but all those things you enumerated above have remained what Igbos ask for in Nigeria.
It's only the Yoruba who last confab asked for regional government system but without fiscal federalism.
But regional government system without fiscal federalism is worse than the unitary government system of today.
.Northern Nigeria refuses both regional government system and fiscal federalism.

Cross check your facts next time before posting.

BRAV0O:
Here's one of the problem we are facing as a country on a serious note if ibo's will not only benefit hope of producing president in nigeria one day, then no need to waste their time even if nigeria will not be able to trust them by giving them power the whole thing will not make sense at all because it will one day turn around that the case between ibos and nigeria will turn to case that nigeria being the oppressor! and it will not turn out well at all by the time whole world will be calling for nigeria head!!!

CSTR2:
I don't think they need it.
It is the exclusive preserve of ex-coupists and blood- thirsty mad men who are supposed to be locked up in a psychiatric hospital in any western nation.
Which is also why the biafran agitation is understandable. Allowing nitwits and paedophiles to decide your future is a terrible thing.

DropShot:
Then go away from Nigeria naa?

Abi anybody tie rope for ya neck say make you no go?

Make Una swerve joor.
