No matter how they try, the Igbo are unlikely to achieve their aim of producing the president of Nigeria, according to Professor Nabi Coz Chaim Nwoye of Hebrew History and Etymology Department of Corner Stone University, Jerusalem. The Igbo, he said, can only be president of Biafra if it ever becomes a reality.

Igbo man can only be a president of Biafra. I do not see the Igbo in the Presidency of Nigeria. Any Igbo man who wishes to contest to be president of Nigeria is on his own. There will be no room for the Igbo man in the Presidency of Nigeria”, Nwoye, also the leader (Chief Rabbi) of Jewish Bet Knesset in Africa and hails from Ebonyi State, told Sunday Vanguard.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had only recently called for the concession of the presidency of Nigeria in 2019 to the Igbo of the South-East as it is the only geo-political zone in the country that is yet to produce the president.

Speaking on the agitation for Biafra by some elements in the South-East, the professor ruled out the actualisation of the move unless it was supported by world powers like the United States, China, Germany and Israel. The Chief Rabbi said Nigeria needs a revolution to ensure that those who looted the nation’s treasury are made to pay for it.

Really?
I still hold my stance that until the Igbo man gets to be President in Nigeria......the talk about equality as citizens remains bs. The Igbo man isn't less a Nigerian than the others

Why is this so? Is Igbo not part of Nigeria again? Why the marginalization?

No wonder they keep agitating for Biafra!

If the marginalization has come to this extent, then, let them go! Let their agitations be actualised!


They won't let them go!

They won't grant their agitations!

The one speaking/leading in the agitations won't be released!

Yet, they can't produce nation's President!


What exactly is happening

Not even a pastor here

A chied rabbi in far away Israel damn

this flat head should keep dreaming

must you always display your tribalistic bigotry all the time ?

What a wawu.... Making a claim but not positing reasons come across as either rabble rousing on the part of the "Rabbi" (black folks & Judaism ) or Vanguard up to their usual mischievous click baiting journalism....

Ibos can be president but don't want to sacrifice what they need to achieve this...

1. Rally round just 2 or 3 main protagonists , Red caps does not mean everyone should jostle and make cacaphonous noise upandan...


2. Drop the ego & arrogance, who e epp? , Their no isn't enough to go it all alone so they need to "make friends" & quickly too.....





This thread is destined for hell though.... Vanguard sha!

why can't? are igbos not Nigerians, how and why are they not qualified to lead the nation is still what bothers me. anyway this is still Nigeria and we dont get so many things right.

At least this one is a realist

They need to stop politics of hatred and embrace reasoning.

this is a slant on the igbos, that they can't produce someone fit to rule Nigeria?

i am not Igbo but that is an Insult.

Oh, he's an Ebonyi Igbo and not an Anambra or Enugu Igbo. Little wonder he sounds so hopeless.

Unfortunately, he's right.

Saying an Igbo man can never be president of Nigeria is an insult to the authority of the Most high God...





No matter how lost in senses thousands of Nigerians are, whoever God allows to be president, will be president.

....Hmmmm,looks like Biafra will be a reality in my life-time because this line of thought by Nwoye will surely spur Biafran agitators to forge on come what may...


..Nigeria on the brink.

Seriously?

I know tribes that have not had the privilege of having a mere commissioner, let alone minister.

Equality does not require dashing the presidency.

Igbos can be president of Nigeria but they must stop playing politics of emotions

That's the truth...Nigeria is configured in such a way that no Igbo can aspire to rule the country and we understand that perfectly, that's why we want independence from Nigeria where we'd be protected by our army and be ruled from Enugwu, our imperial capital.
He hasnt said anything new

Nwoye is not an Igbo Name...

Afonja leave us alone..

And Jonathan, from Ijaw tribe was president for 6 years. The Ijaw are a small minority in the Niger delta with a population of less than 10 million, but still produced the president and also have potential presidential candidates. While the igbos, a majority tribe with a population of 42 million, cannot even even produce the president or even have s serious candidates. If a small ethnic group like Ijaw can be so well liked and influential in Nigeria than the igbos, then there must be something wrong somewhere.
