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.
did ekwueme kill shagari?

Those that have ruled before, what did they get out of it? The North that have ruled for 40 years have 87% poverty rate, high illiteracy rate, high drug abuse rate and terrorism rate.

Those who have ruled Nigeria have nothing to show for it and you are disturbing Igbos who are business minded, with the useless office of president that has never helped anybody

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.

Umu Igbo kunie nura!!

Northern traded for sharia law and the number one man is in power today.. Who says igbos should drop Thier Biafra ambition before approaching presidency..


You can't tell 60million people to drop Thier dreams in a country where they're other 140 million to decide.

Who will ever will rule should continue.. At last Notherners have already hijacked the country. Anyone on top is stil below Dem. Keep deciding yourselves.

The biggest problem with Nairaland is that majority of the members don't read, they write rubbish. At least read before writing so that you don't write off point.
Bro, the truth is nobody gets the president by blackmail, at least, not a public one. How many of the political class in Igbo land are ambitious enough for the presidency. Since 1999, how many Igbos have flown the flag of the major political parties in a general election..? You need to want it so badly you can go any length just to have it.. at that point, it becomes difficult to discard you. How many times did buhari contest again before getting it..? What's stopping our political class from being the pdp flag bearer in 2023 or we simply support Apc..? That's how to fight.
Re: Igbos Cannot Be Nigerian President Unless They Do This by oyatz(m): 1:17pm On Apr 01, 2020
You don't still understand the analogy.

Buhari had impressive resume (anti-corruption, Spartan-like discipline and Military experience) which he sold to his employer (the voters).

However, it's a different ball game entirely to decide whether impressive resume of a job seeker is equal to his capability.

For instance, we can not say for sure if a prospective employee with M.Sc in Analytical Chemistry from ABU, UNN or LAUTECH about to be employed by the Ministry of Environment can generate cooking gas from Sewage waste of Gwarinpa Estate.




Turantula:
Like Buhari's impressive resume grin grin
Fact is, North and West vote only along tribal sentiment
Re: Igbos Cannot Be Nigerian President Unless They Do This by Nobody:
It's impossible to be Nigerian president without a blackmail. No tribe blackmails like the north and no tribe accuses others of blackmail like the north. Flashback to the events in the north before buhari won. Tell yourself the truth. What are they called?

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 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.

From what I have observed about you;

You dissipate so much energy about your real and imaginary enemies, the Yorubas instead of thinking about your strategies in achieving your goals.




The truth is that no Igbo presidential candidate has ever contested the election on the platform of any major political party, so how can you win when you don't contest?


Contest for the tickets of both APC and PDP in 2023 with all seriousness. Even if you don't win in 2023 you will make an impressive showing which can be your position of strength in the following election.

Don't approach political issues from the mindsets of traders that only invest in areas with immediate return on investment.


Even in the US, many presidents only win after years of being in the race e.g Jimmy Cater, Ronald Reagan, Nixon etc.

It may interest you to know that Donald Trump joined the presidential race as far back as 1998.

In Nigieria, Atiku first contested for the presidential ticket in 1993, then 2007, 2011, 2015,2019 and still warming up against 2023.

The late Dr Olusola Saraki ran against Shagari for the NPN ticket in 1979, then for SDP ticket in 1992 and APP ticket in 1999.

The Late MKO Abiola was warming up to contest the presidential Primaries of the NPN in 1983 even against the incumbent President Sheu Shagari before he resigned from the party in protest against level playing field.

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'. grin

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

Imagine your false analysis. Some of you don’t know anything about Ndigbo except those fed you by your propaganda Lagos-Ibadan media. You sit in your bedrooms and analyze issues that are beyond your understanding. How do you mean the Igbos haven’t contested under the major political parties?

Sometimes I get angry with a lot of Yoruba’s and how you downplay or belittle the political efforts of the Igbos. This was how you guys kept deceiving the indomie generations that Ndigbo have never supported the Yoruba political ambitions, until facts were brought forth.

1. You said this trash countless times until the voting results of the 1993 elections was posted on nairaland which busted your falsehood. Abiola winning Anambra and getting over 40% votes in all eastern states despite having an Igbo as running mate for the NRC.

2. You lied again that Ndigbo never stood with you Yoruba’s during the June 12 struggle. Still yet, we saw the row call of the founders of NADECO with a large host of Igbo activists. We saw an Nwankwo as the Vice Chairman of NADECO, we saw a large number of known Igbo elder statesmen who stood their feet. We also saw the likes of Agbakoba, Ubani, Chris Anyanwu etc in Abacha’s dungeon. Lastly, we saw the likes of Ekwueme with his leadership of the G-30 which fought the junta till democracy was gifted in 1999. But because of the exploits of the youthful Daniel Kanu who wasn’t different from the Yoruba leaders who sold out to Abacha, the Igbo nation was ridiculed by you miserable loud mouths.

3. Before you come out spreading your falsehood about Ndigbo not producing candidates for the major parties, here are a list of Igbos who bid for the Presidential positions.

1979 - 1983
NPP: Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe
The NPP won three states in Nigeria, Plateau, Imo, Anambra. The breakaway GNPP faction led by Waziri Ibrahim won Borno state.
NPN: Alex Ekwueme was running mate to Shehu Shagari.

1992-1993 Presidential Election
SDP: Arthur Nzeribe was disqualified
NRC: Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu was disqualified and a host of other notable Igbo sons by Babangida appointed NEC screening committee. This was why no notable Igbo contested for Presidency.
Rather Sylvester Ugoh became running mate to NRC Bashir Tofa.

1999 Presidential Elections
PDP: Alex Ekwueme lost Primary to Obasanjo
APP: Ogbannaya Onu dropped ambition for Olu Falae and his party the ANPP merged with AD to form the APP for the Presidential election.

2003 Presidential Election
APGA: Ikemba Ojukwu. Came third with 1 million votes after Buhari who came second.
ANPP: Chuba Okadigbo contested as running mate with Muhammadu Buhari.

2007 Presidential Election
ADP: Pat Utomi
PDP: Rochas Okorocha came 2nd in the primary that produced Umaru Musa Yar’adua. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala came a distant third.
ANPP: Edwin-Ume Ezeoke was running mate to Muhammadu Buhari.

2011
PDP: This was the first time no Igbo contested. The GEJ candidacy was supported.

2015
UPP: Chekwas Okolie
AP: Rochas Okorocha

2019
YPP: Kingsley Moghalu whose party won the Anambra South senatorial seat.
PDP: Peter Obi was running mate to Atiku Abubakar
APC: Rochas Okorocha stepped down for Buhari.
APGA: Jerry Chukwueke was running mate to John Gbor
