The iboes will never rule this country. Their agenda is still the same as it was in 1967 but hausa/fulani are wiser than them. Even if they bring an iboe to hide under a northerner in 2023, the north will not vote for their person because they will think the iboes will kill their brother like they killed Balewa and Ahmadu Bello. So iboes better go back to jerusalem they are Jews.

TheNobleProphet:
The south easterners should put their house in order and then step forward to demand what is rightfully theirs!

The earliest Igbos can be President is 2035 by my calculations.

You are highly limited in knowledge which every human is, you should not have written this knowing what the entire globe is passing through (covid 19), power belongs to God only

Biafra is not the answer to Igbo presidency.

It will and can not work.

It actually is. The Average Nigerian politician won't take you serious until you threaten him or his livelihood just like Covid-19 is doing to the health sector where every politicians is now suddenly donating to.

Yoruba also used the same strategy to gain presidency by establishing a militia called OPC due to the MKO saga. Albeit with the support of the rest of the south.

So anybody who says Biafra cannot be tied to Igbo presidency is trying to weaken the East's strong point of negotiation. Even the Scots still use the Scottish independence to negotatiate in Britain.

Killing Biafra will weaken the East strong point of negotiation and no serious person negotiates from a point of weakness.

That's why I WILL NEVER CONDEMN NNAMDI KANU like some efulefus who never drank their mother's breasts are doing. They are ignorant and oblivious of what is at stake. Any Igbo who does so is a bumbling buffoon with mental incompetence.

The OP is in order.

The simple truth is igbos have done everything needed to win the presidency but the truth is no matter what igbos do

The north still want to retain power at all cost
South west never want to imagine Igbo presidency ....that's the truth ....it's not igbo fault at all

No matter what the igbos do excuse would
come

APC in 2015 ; of only igbos have one senator we would have given them Senate president
2019 igbos give APC 3 senators
APC in 2019 ; igbos only gave us 3 senators we can't give them Senate president over a zone that produce more senators

Bros the truth there was never a plan for the igbo man ...what did APC give ignos deputy chief whip lol.....


Enough of igbos do this or do that ...you hate igbos and have no plans to support their ambition ...be a man and state your mind ....

You are very much in order and a good student of history. Even if the whole of SE vote APC, it will never assuage the anti-Igbo nincompoops.

No serious person negotiates from a point of weakness, my prayer is that the Biafran struggle becomes more malignant, with the rest of the southern region catching the seccesion bug with Igbos who are powerful Americans, British, EU, Russian citizens leading the charge.

The abokkis will be shaken to their marrow and give an arm and a leg to keep the country one so that their poverty stricken region won't be starved of oil resources.

oyatz:
An Igbo, Edo, Igala or Nupe and indeed ANY Nigerian citizen can be President of Nigeria, may be not in 2023 but thereafter.


There is absolutely nothing magical about 2023.

What we need now is to

1) deepen our democracy by ensuring that votes count.

2) Work toward a decentralized Nigeria so that a region doesn't necessarily need the presidency to attain her full potentials.


3) Minimize the roles of tribes/religion in politics while emphasizing MERITS.

Same old cliche..

If you think igbos can blackmail Nigeria with Biafra then you are a kid. Only the south and south west can threaten Nigeria. Ibos and northerners contribute nothing to Nigeria. The north however have an advantage which is their voting strength. You add nothing to Nigeria and you are also a minority.

I see no importance of an Igbo man in Nigeria. So achieving or not achieving Biafra can not force me into voting an Igbo man. If I have the autocratic power, I would grant you Biafra right now.

İgbo can never rule this Country.

Quote me anywhere.

Perkins2018 should go for brain check otherwise he will run into the market naked. Something has damaged his reasoning.

oyatz:
Your first paragraph is most laughable and emanated from a deep seated entitlement mentality.

1) Mention the presidential election that an Igbo candidate contested and did everything needed to win?

2) Winning the presidential election is just like seeking for employment.

You need to have impressive resume, look for employment adverts, attend interviews and convince the interviewers on why they should hire you.

3) You can't sit down in your Papa's sitting room and be expecting Microsoft, Shell, Chevron or MTN to bring your employment letter to you.

It is the same for running and winning a presidential election.

Buhari consistently ran for the presidency for 12 years and only won at the fourth attempt.

Like Buhari's impressive resume
Fact is, North and West vote only along tribal sentiment

Biafra as a tool for negotiation is not strong enough in my opinion.

THE IGBOS WILL EVENTUALLY BE PUSHED OUT OF NIGERIA, COME 2023.

The Southwest can no longer threaten anyone, they've lost that power in 2015 after creating a wedge between them and the Eastern bloc today known as the SESS bloc or the 'better south'.

Post-2015, Your only hope of attaining power today is the feudal north who also want the power for themselves more than you do because that's all they have. You've realized your current perilous situation that's why you are desperate trying to form another regional militia 'Amotekun' like you did with OPC in 1999 to blackmail everyone again, a quest that has already failed before it even started. Because discerning minds have seen through it already.

If you try any uprising after your impending 2023 failure and loss of power, the country will shut the border with Benin republic and come down hard on you. A prototype test/drill is already ongoing in the guise of 'block on foreign rice' on seme border, for your information.

You've lost goodwill in the majority south (SESS) and the north will ALWAYS vote their own in the current dynamics. yorubas are now political orphans again and the real minority in the current scheme of things.

Mmuoojukwu:
How possible is Igbo presidency in 2023? The bitter truth is that Buhari cannot give or even nominate an Igboman for president in 2023 or 2040 or anytime. The Igbos banking on Buhari are just confused or deluded. Who will he even nominate? On what ground will he nominate him? If Buhari cannot even trust an Igbo man as a member of the service chiefs, is it the presidency he will support? The same thing happened to Obasanjo who has shown more love to the Igbos than any other leader from the north or west. What stopped Obasanjo from picking an Igbo man as a president or vice? What was Obasanjo's fear? Can we turn that fear into our strength? Why was Obasanjo eager to go to go North and South-south?

Again, even a kid will tell you that election in Nigeria is a charade. Who becomes a president in Nigeria is incumbent on the stake his people take or the choice of the ruling party. So there's nothing like free and fair election in Nigeria. Going by the aforementioned indices, it's obvious Igbos are not ready for presidency. And with the way Nigeria is configured today, no tribe can win presidential election through free and fair election which Igbos pin their hope. Tinubu, Osibanjo or any northerner has a better chance of becoming a Nigerian president in 2023 than the Igbos.

Luckily, Igbos have the strongest stake in Nigeria but they're not using it to their political advantage. The north and the West seem to know how to deceive and derail the Igbos. Ohaneze is no doubt the most naive sociocultural group in Nigeria. The northern elders and politicians have never disowned their youths no matter the step they take to restore the glory of the north but Ohaneze and Igbo politicians appear to be a bunch of saboteurs ready to sacrifice their children to be called good Nigerians. Every Igbo politician is fighting for self-glory. Igbo is the only tribe others can easily read its mind. Take it or leave, Tinubu, Osibanjo etc have control over Afenifere and may use it sometimes against the Igbos. Over the years we have seen Afenifere come with a topic like: "Afenifere Hails Ohaneze for Disowning IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu on Secession of Igbos," and quite recently we heard: "Afenifere Backs Nnamdi Kanu on Biafra" etc. This is the politics of the West. Two statements, dangerously opposite from Afenifere. How many times has even Ohaneze mustered courage to say they support Nnamdi Kanu and how does Afenifere support IPOB or Kanu for Christ sake? Funningly enough, when Igbos youths really stand up for Biafra, they will keep mute but during election periods they will make Biafra agitation louder on Newspaper and social media than electoral campaigns. While creating this chaos in Igboland, they are supporting their own: Tinubu, Osibanjo etc. They have seen Biafra as a stumbling block to Igbo presidency and use it as a political tool. Also, the Igbos are always happy when the Yorubas reunite with their brothers in Kwara, Kogi or elsewhere but no Yoruba man goes to sleep the day Igbos and their brothers in the newfangled south-south have a one minute dinner together. The effort seemed to be directed at permanently dividing brothers and making Igbo irrelevant.

As for the north, the use of Federal might and top Igbo traditional chiefs is a common tradition. They divide Igbo land with appointments and juicy political positions. An Igbo man loyal to a top northerner mostly does the job of a saboteur telling his northern boss who does or says what about Biafra or secession. Some Igbos are mere spin doctors hired to write against their people. When you see a top northern chief or politician in Igbo land, just know he is on a "mission." All this leaves Igbo land badly divided and contribute to why Igbo presidency is a mirage.

The big question is how did the north regain power from Goodluck? Why did Obasanjo pick Goodluck? Clearly, Igbo is the most feared tribe because of the undying quest for Biafra. The sit-at-home order which many people complied with has made the northerners leery of any Igbo person. Another bigger fear is that other tribes will not stay in Nigeria once Igbos exit. This make Biafra the northerners' bugbear. We saw how restive the north turned when Goodluck added Igbo names and made an Igbo man an army chief. Goodluck being successfully tagged "Nyamiri," the north was unease. Nigeria boiled to the top. The north deployed every means, I mean every means until Goodluck surrendered, saying his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. Also, the collective agitation by the South-south created serious attention and Obasanjo was compelled to give them a chance. 

What then are the Igbos going to do? 

Politics is a game. The higher, the tougher. It's not for weak-willed persons or divided people. Igbos should make up their minds to play it or accept their fate. Life is a risk and if you don't risk anything, you won't gain anything, you won't be Nigerian president. Since Igbo's stake is Biafra, it's impossible for Igbo to be President of Nigeria unless over 80% of the Igbos join Biafra! Mark my words, Biafra is the only answer to Igbo presidency! Every part of Igbo land should smell, resonate with Biafra. The Church, the streets, the homes, children, youths, old and everybody should talk Biafra. Include everybody in the agitation. It must be loud and consistent. The ruling class is not expected to support it but they must learn to keep quiet or pretend like the northern leaders did when Arewa youths gave Igbos quit notice. It's a win-win thing. If the world sees our seriousness, they will support our freedom and if Nigeria is afraid and ready for negotiations, the choice will be ours. We must take a decision, stick together to the course otherwise no Igbo man will be Nigerian president. If you doubt me, watch 2023 is around the corner. We have not staked anything to make Nigeria consider us for president or vice. It's not a party thing, it's our inability to organise our house. Presidency in Nigeria is not determined by a political party but by the political resolve of each tribe. The truth remains that since 1999, Igbos have not staked anything for us to be considered for presidency.

Not written for lazy folks

Oga, you are 100% on point except the reason you gave about obj not choosing an igbo as deputy.

Obj been from the south must choose a deputy from the north.

Having said that, Igbo man is still his own problem. The aftermath of the war is still telling among us. Going cap in hand always to Abuja before we get anything. The no victor no vanguish agreement was a hoax. But in this present time, I believe we should have weaned ourselves from sulking up to the winners of the war before we get anything because Igbo nwere mmadu!

Igbo nwere mmadu! Scattered all over! When are they going to rally round like the Jews did and support the Igbo cause with a very loud voice?
.
Remember orji Kalus role in the primaries that threw up obj? That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. When will they stop fighting for their selfish reasons?

Umu Igbo kunie nura!!

Thank you for educating the sophisticated morans...who actually think like their various myopic leaders...from Awolowo to MKO to Thiefnubuu that claim to know politics. They make so much noise, that is why El-Rufai called them useful idiots.

The truth is bitter.

I don’t know why some people are so worried about Igbo’s producing next president, people are just too hungry for power without purpose and direction. Years of dominance by the north and west produced absolutely nothing rather than poverty, corruption, backwardness and tribalism and yet some people are not bothered about the state of the nation, Op your article is not informative nor proffer any solution to the current challenges that the country is facing. Nigeria will continue with their recycling until sentiment is put aside and people with good intentions and wisdom is given the chance to contribute to the nations building . It’s easy for north and west to conspire like they always do and presents a candidate but the end results will still remain the same, years of conspiracy and better politics by west and north as they claim is what brought us where we are today. It is only a fool that will keep on doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results. If you built on conspiracy you will reap corruption and the cycle will continue until its consumed you. The country is shaking because of faulty foundation and if politics is not put aside and address it quickly then there will be no more ground for people that know politics to display their dirty politics.

They delude themselves that they are more fortunate than we are.

When you see two yorubas discussing 'alaroye' politics, it's like comedy. You'll hear them beating their cabin biscuit chests and deluding themselves that since the 'Ibo and north hate themselves' the East will prefer and vote a yoruba in 2023, so that they can keep exchanging baton between the hausa and yoruba presidency to the detriment of Omo Ibo'.

I simply laugh and waka pass. E go shock them.
