By the end of Buhari's 2nd term, Yorubas will witness the greatest suffering ever seen before.
So says a yaminri that one of his states is among poorest state in Nigeria. Hatred kills you and your millions. You and your OSU people will still rush down to yorubaland to hustle.

How many percentage do you igbo contributed to Atiku loss?.It is better to contribute 0.5% to someone's success than contributing 80 to 90% to someone's failure. Tell us how Atiku will appreciate you people for your 90% to his failure. You here, will you appreciate someone that contributes 95% to your failure than the person that contributed 2% to your success?
It seems you have problem with numbers. Peter Obi delivered over 500k to him did any State in SW deliver half of that to Buhari?

Don't worry about us. Worry about yourself that need APC ticket. We will try again with PDP in 2023.

Please allow those that contributed 94% of Buhari's victory margin to celebrate.

Remove the entire votes SW gave to Buhari, he would have still won. The North made their brother President

Is Ekiti better than Ebonyi?
Ogun is not better than Anambra
Oyo is not better than Enugu
Ondo is not better than Imo
Osun is not better than Abia

How the heck is SW better than SE?

South Easth should learn not to always put all thier eggs in one basket.

They should do away with tribalism.

Saraki took their slot when there was no APC senator from East in 2015. Is the samething repeating itself?

No biafra, No president in 2023 and No senate president. Oma se o!!!

Because they all sleep and face the same direction due to tribalism and religious bigotry.


APC should never and can never present an igbo man for president in 2023 just because the party could not win any South East state since 2015 which is an indication of deep hatred they have for the party.
You're such a dumb ass niga if by now youre not aware that Nigeria is faced with tribal and religious War. It all over the nation.
In developed country Bihari shouldn't have won against GEJ.
Buhari always bank on votes from his region and they don't care if he will deliver or not.

You neither-here-nor-there unstable and unreliable lots known as yorubas should get a life!!

.,Apart frpm the massive rigging known to all including APC ,how many votes did Buhari pull sef in your region??..

Buhari barely made it in Sw inspite of thiefnubbu bullion-van strategy.. INEC inconjuction with the state REC did not maniacally and brazenly thunmb-printed for buhari,he would have been toast..His win has nothing to do with Yorubas and they know it.

As we speak,Noortherners are already calling you lots traitors for not voting buhari inspite of the railway and "numerous" appointments "they gave you(in their words)

Reflect on that because you lots will be the new "5%' in this tenure and leave Igbos be..We wete fine in the first tenure and will certainly be in the second

As for 2023 Prseidency going to Yorubas,i dont need to tell how much of an illusion that is because the north WILL NOT VOTE YORUBA..and that is a fact....

Simple!

We Igbos owe nobody no damn explanation. We have seen worse and survived. The Igbo man will be alright las las. Our choice is our choice. We must not vote the same person you voted. Some Northern Morrons from Northwest have been voting Buhari everytime since 1999! Nobody is calling them ethnic bigots or tribal jingoists.

If its Igbo man now, they will say we are bigots. Come 2023, we will still vote who we want. Be it Osibanjo (I love the man) or Obi. Power must leave the North! Its just that Nigeria is structured in such a way that they want to make sure Igbo man never gets to the top. And to always divide the South. But The Igbo man spirit can never be dominated. Not now, not ever. You hate a people, despise them so much. But you will not allow them to go? Is that not Demonic? God did it for Isreal and will still do it for the Igbo nation. One day, a saviour will rise who will pull us out of this doldrums and make the Igbo nation a small holland. FYI, I HATED BUHARI WITH PASSION, I STILL HATE BUHARI WITH PASSION AND WILL ALWAYS HATE BUHARI WITH PASSION BECAUSE HE IS A VERY USELESS NAMA! Case closed!
am with you 100% on this. we hate buhari and Tinubu's APC and they hate us back.its a mutual hate something. so arewa and A.fonjas should free us.come 2022 here in anambra we will still bury APC again and even Apga sef if they apga don't stop that their yeye alliance with APC.

You are very correct in your analysis. I've always told my SEastenern brothers that we have to Learn to play politics like the Northerners. You have to create optional party loyalists like Amaechi, Rocha's, etc. Flood your eastern brothers in different parties and let each become strongly loyal to each party but yet secretly working for the eastern agenda.
Create strong allies with the north, & west for a certain advantage when it presenta itself.

I strongly know soon there will be a political change in Paradigms by the east.
Its well.

yet to tell us what Yoruba will learn. Igbo this ,Igbo that. Igbos voted a person of like mind in business realm. You think igbos are comfortable being under a President who cannot present common speech to his citizens. Who fights corruption with same corrupt people. How many baskets did the core North put their own Eggs? are the two major candidate not from the North?
Re: What Igbos Must Learn From Buhari's Victory by emychukwu: 9:00am On Feb 27, 2019
We do what we do as a result of who we are!

We are Igbos, and proud of it. No apologies.

Igbos are not united!
Igbos are not united!

It was the same people who sell you the stereotype that Igbos are not united that came out, to fight the unity of Igbos at Okota/Ago, other parts of Lagos and Igbo land in general.

Seeing that their narrative is failing, they are now selling another narrative. They are saying Igbos are putting all their eggs in one basket.
How can the whole of the Igbos vote PDP?
Now we are being accused of not being divided enough to spare some votes for APC. Olee ihe emere ya adi uwa mma?

A little history will suffice. We are an egalitarian society. Indirect rule didn't work with Igbos. It worked well with the North and the South West but not with Igbos. Warrant Chiefs didn't help matters either. So really, Igbos are not political lots. Same reason voter aparthy is highest in Igbo land.

But when we take a political stand, we speak with one voice. That is who we are.
We have always done. We did it with Shagari, Obasanjo, Ya'radua and Jonathan. We are doing it against Buhari.

Make no mistake, we have always put our political eggs in one basket and that is who we are. That is why we don't entertain dynasties. The likes of Saraki and Tinubu and Mohammed won't last a decade in Igbo land.
We are decisive and courageous. If that is what you call arrogance, then so be it. But we will never stand on the fence.

I write this because of the young generation of Igbos in Nigeria. Go home to your fathers in the villages and ask questions. Learn how to be Igbo without being apologetic. The first thing people notice about an Igbo man is his enterprising spirit. It is not found anywhere else. Ihe agwo muru aghaghi ito ogologo.

We can't apologize for who we are. But what we do not have is the spirit of Nigerian politics. We don't play the politics of "Master say! Alhaji say! Everyone is a master in Igbo land. Onweghi onye na akpanye ibe ya nri.

The Igwe of my community has no more stake in the affairs of my community than I do. He is more of a representative of the people to the government and the custodian of our tradition than a "ruler" in the real sense of it. That is why we have the cabinet and elders in council.
Igbo amaghi eze.

It is not a bad thing in a sense that decisions are collectively taken, from the household, through the hamlets to the community. It does not make us lawless lots. The consultative mechanism is our strength. Igwe bu ike.

This is the singular reason why the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo has not been able to evolve into that rallying point for the Igbos like the Arewa People's Congress for Northerners, Oodua Peoples Congress and the Afenifere for Yorubas.

Let us all brace up for the times ahead.
Someone who will dislike you will not always need a reason to. Add the ingenuity and hardwork of the average Igbo man to the mix, and dislike quickly turns to hate.

And I understand it. I perfectly do. Its not easy to like someone who comes back to your land, after being sent packing just a few decades ago with just some two pounds and all his properties confiscated by his hosts.

He comes back and acquires them back hundred folds, marries your daughters and prospers with them. Then goes ahead to not only carve settlements in Ojodu and Ojo for themselves, but is about to become a determinant to your political future in a dispensation where you have been promised a second place.

What they may never know is that the ordinary Igbo man is not interested in your presidency. We thrive wherever we go. So when you say we are not strategizing enough for the presidency, we don't see it how you see it.

The average Igbo man simply wants a good environment for his business, and good infrastructure for a decent life. The things which "presidency" has not bestowed on any ethnic group in Nigeria.

The five Igbo states have since 2012 almost consistently occupied the best positions in WAEC and produced the highest number of medical and engineering students in Nigeria.

Check the Igbo business in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Portharcourt. Most are not based on government patronage. We make things out of nothing. Presidency means nothing to an average Igbo man. The ten poorest and educationally backward states in Nigeria are within the regions that have held the presidency within the last two decades.

A good example is the very primary school where President Buhari cast his vote. It was the closest to his ancestral home. A "successful" Onitsha business man who has made money from his trade will know that the church and the school closest to his home is the very yardstick to measure his success. He needs not become president to refurbish them. Ana esi na ulo mara mma puo ama.

To the young generation of Igbos, I say to you today, Quit trying to impress anyone about how hospitable or detribalized you are!
Nnamdi Azikiwe did it and failed, Jonathan did everything imaginable, things he did not do for his native South South and yet failed. If you think you can please Nigeria, then you have another thing coming.

Look at Benue people, they received the greatest visit of deaths from this government. But they'd rather die some more than let an Igbo man smell the Vice Presidency. And tomorrow, they will also tell you Igbos don't know politics. And you will want to engage them in an argument.

Do not be disturbed when you hear them say we are not united. We have never been that kind of united people. Read our history. Even as Igbos were dying in their hundreds during the pogrom, Gen. Ojukwu, one of the first Igbo men who realized that this "forced marriage" can never work was only "permitted" to embark on the war against Nigeria by seeking the voice of every hamlet, every village and every community. He did not take unilateral decisions.

That's how decisions are taken in Igbo land. We do no alienate those who are in dissent. We do not allow one Tinubu to make decisions for some and another Saraki for others, so that our two eggs are comfortably placed in two baskets. No! We rise to the occasion wherever we are, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, sokoto. Our spirits communicate with each other and not with any leader figure and decide what is best for us. Either you respect us for getting it, or you respect us for trying. This is who we are, and we are not changing it soon. We are Igbos. Deal with it.

Written by Ugo Finian

I will repeat the last line.

WE ARE IGBOS. DEAL WITH IT.

Lol, such a dumb analysis. SW vote divided. Do you think if south west wants to give bulk vote to Apc like you guys, do you think Pdp will get that 11 million. Are you this dumb. Anylysis of this election in the south showed you people only contributed 29.7% to PDP. Yes, they lost in southwest but still got 31.2% in southwest. Are you this dull. What has anambra 500 thousand gave him. grin At the bolded above, that is to confirmed how dumb In reasoning you are. So Lagos that gave close to 600k to Apc is in your father's compound In Arochukwu right. You claimed bulk vote, yet Atiku lost In Osun but still get higher vote than your so called bulk vote in imo, than in Abia and than in Ebonyi. Anambra only gave 524,738 to Pdp while Lagos gave 580,825 to Apc. The percentage Apc got in west is higher that what Pdp got in your so called bulk vote. Even Pdp got higher percentage in the west despite loss than your so called useless bulk vote in the east. I will school you. Your votes are inconsequential, stop hiding under SS to claim bulk vote that is useless.

Lol. So you believe Buhari will hand over to a southerner? Lol. The worst possible scenario is if Tinubu hijacks the APC, the northerners in the APC form another party. That party will win the election because the whole North, South South and South East will prefer voting the North than Tinubu. So get ready to continue with a Northern President till at least 2031.
Yes they believe, same way you guys believe Atiku will restructure Nigeria.
