Lolssss..... Yorubas that didn't help Buhari to victory have started making mouth again

Biodun556:
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.

Gabriel004:
Self glorifiation is allowed. I hope you are not talking of onitsa i know that WHO called most dirtiest and smelly city in the world.

Gabriel004:
Lol, are you comparing enugu with no cinema to ibadan city that has 3 different cinemas. Ibadan that has 5 standard shopping mall than the entire south east. Let me know

Gabriel004:
Which Umuahia abeg, the one i do go to or another one?

Gabriel004:
Why do they always rate Akure above owerri then
Now Abakaliki own cracked me up. Stanley should come and tell me the truth here.
guy, stop fooling yourself.

HabaHaba:
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.

Viergeachar:
5% for where You are just a clownbunch.
The Igbo traders pay even more in the name of levies.
FYI, states also collect company tax.

Viergeachar:
Go and ask your brothers how many times they pay for that plot of land. Omo onile had turned them to pension...

Viergeachar:
As regards, Yoruba achievement in the north and SS, I know you want me to boast like a typical pigiyeasternr. But I won't.

Viergeachar:
Tell me, how many branches of Lords Chosen or TREM do you have in the north? That's just for a start.

Viergeachar:
If your 'villages' are el dorado, why don't you believe you can remain there and succeed? Why do you keep migrating to places you believe are less 'developed'

Viergeachar:
Only 650 cities applied, I am sure none in the SW did.

JusticeSeeker:
2023 presidency is between the South-West and South-South. Igbos will wait until they learn to get some sense.

izombie:
There they go again telling south east what to do and what not to do. Fact is, igbos hate buhari and vice versa. The only thing buhari did in south east for four years is python dance. We have no reason to vote buhari. The president is from katsina but what has he done for them? Senate president from kwara but what benefit was that to the kwarans? Abeg free igbos.

Henry22:
Oga abeg you people should face your own problem and leave SE/SS alone....

CHESTER48:
the way the yourubaz where shouting here. Creating thread up and dawn of how atiku could have picked a youruba running mate. When they couldn't even give buhari anything reasonable. Luagh. Igbo presidency is already sure banker 2023

SouthEastFacts:
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?

blingxx:
(I laugh in igala) if what you saying is true why are your brothers coming down to southwest to hustle, why not remain in their region and develop it with all your oil money? How many yoruba have you seen living in the east ... We still wise pass una

RTSC:
Apc will sweep the south west, no be so?

Otondo.

Your people will wreck the apc just the way you wrecked the ACN your Yoruba party.
The only saving grace right now is buhari.
Deluded lots.

emychukwu:
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.

SouthEastFacts:
Number of total votes casted doesn't make one win election but the difference.

Did SW total casted votes bigger than SE's? YES
Did SE margin better than SW's? YES

So who is more strategic?

SE

SouthEastFacts:
I am not surprised. You guys are known for pathetic lies. FYI, Onitsha is cleaner than Lagos.

WHO didn't use the word "dirty" but polluted. If you can read very well you would have seen the pollution was a result of industrial waste. The most populated cities in the world are the most industrialized. I am aware you don't know this.

Anyway, here is the link to that WHO report.

Where was Ibadan when Enugu made the list to the top 100 most resilient cities in the world?

Umuahia and Oshogbo are not mate.

Only you rate Akure over Owerri. I know yorubas don't travel. Move around and see.

Even Ikeja no find pass Owerri, except VI, Lekki and Ikoyi.

Gabriel004:
You see how dumb most easterners are. You must be one of the Bimbos they talked about. Are you a coward, why running away and not wait to schooled. I am sure your family will be ashamed of you for lacking tactics when arguing or defending. Are you this foolish? See Mumu calling another illiterate. And this one will have boyfriend. The boyfriend must be dumb too. This is the type the goes to special centre to write exam. Your stupidity is stinking. I even thought this one have brain and class to debate. Didn't know I answered most foolish, dull night brain dead bush girl. See how the brain dead girl resulted to insult, no brain to argue. Dundee. Your mention on your father's created forum. Oponu.

rainylad:
Jobless cretin,just see how a pathetic grown up who cant add and subtract to save his life has polluted the thread with different monikers to showcase his crass illiteracy and low IQ..

Only an idfiot will waste his or her time with fooll like you who has spent the entite day quoting everthing and everyone with different handles on a working day.

I should leave everything i am supposed to do on a Working day to debate with one jobless Gabriel004 ,Micheal004 and numerous other monikers on Nairaland who is stuppid enough to claim SW voted more for Atiku than SE

You must be drunk,high or both.

Gabriel004:
See this one, what is the cause of pollution. Did you read the content of their story on it. Definitely you did not. Ikeja no fine pass owerri. Abeg no make me laugh . Shut your mouth with with this your resilient nonsense. Birminham was not listed, is enugu developed than Birmingham. Lazio, Torino, Minich, Shalka, Dortmund and so many beautiful European cities and African cities not listed, So does that make enugu developed than them. And you claimed to be educated. Lol, umuahia, don't talk about what I know. You said we don't travel. Go to Europe, America, Asia as well as other African nation. You will see us there. I hope you are not talking of tradition eking to your east. If that is what you mean. Then give me reason I should just pick my bag and travel to east because the east is America or Europe.

Gabriel004:
Balderdash. So margin wins election. Now I know you lack sense so if post is to be given to east or west according to election now,
Pdp south east has total of 1,693,485 votes
Pdp south west has total of 1,776,670 votes.
So you are saying the winner will be south east because of the difference between their pdp and apc and not total number of votes. Chai, lala come and hear new thing from igbo boy o.

SouthEastFacts:
Stop studying under a brown roof but you no gree.

South West PDP casted 1.8 million but was defeated by SW APC by 265k votes.

Anambra PDP casted only 500k but defeated Anambra APC with close to 500k votes, whose margin won the election.

SouthEastFacts:
Travel but you won't. Owerri is more beautiful than Ikeji but their are more companies.

Owerri roads are wider than Ikeja's and there are more street decorations and arte facts in Owerri. I co-founded an IT company in Yaba, so I enter Ikeji from Enugu frequently.

I can't live in Ikeja because of the traffic which you can never experience in ikeja.

As for Enugu being listed at one of the Top 100 most resiliient cities, you can always browse that. I am sure you problem is the word "resilience".

Enugu is more resilient than any SW state, deal with it.

Gabriel004:
Oga, I don hear you. Enugu is more resilient than Birmingham, Rome, Lazio, Turin, Brussels. So enugu is developed than them. It is just that it does not have number of cinemas and malls Ibadan only has. And bros, If you want to mention travel, abeg specify. Never mention east. You are in my region asking me to travel to your region. Are you normal. If your region is conducive for you, what are you doing in mine then. And you want me to go to your region, to do what abeg?

Mumu SE folks that know many things but could not give Atiku high vote. Only managed 29.7% vote for him. Whereas he got 31.2% in SW. I swear, Atiku will curse you guys if he sees the %

NkayStory:
What s this thing buzzing around like a fly on this thread?

Yeah we only gave Atiku 0% while the ever unstable neither -here- nor -there SW gave him 100%..In the same election we also gave buhari 0% while SW gave him 100%..

You always give nothing and everything at once all the time yet the biggest noise-makers and chest-beaters the World had ever known

Abeg run along.

SouthEastFacts:
Like I said before, you have comprehension problem. Read the post you quoted again, but now slowly.

I can interpret in Yoruba if you don't mind.

But next time you quote me, please make use of paragraphs.

Thank you

BillGoldberg:
I am a full blooded Igbo man and I believe I speak for most Igbos. I rejected Buhari in 2015 and I strongly rejected him in 2019. He is a useless man and still remains a useless man. 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!
