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 Igbo 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. So saying you're not a Biafran is like saying you're not an Igbo person. Another bigger fear is that other tribes will not stay in Nigeria once Igbos exit. This makes 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.The best parties will come begging us to give them candidates just to make sure Nigeria doesn't break. 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.

Bro u can't play game with people who hate u simple

60% of yorubas would never vote an igbo president ....60% of core North won't no matter what I do

Our best bet is regional government to develop ourselves

Then the best option is for Igbos to leave people who hate them. If you mean what you are saying then, we are the same thing. Igbos are wasting their time with people who hate them. They should unite and decide their fate.

95% of yorubas will rather vote for Shekua of boko haram than voting for a competent Igbo man.


99% of north will vote for shekua against any Igbo candidate.



I only pity foolish Igbos that believe in one nigeria and are expecting to be president of nigeria,which they can never be in hundred years to come.


Where is Orji uzo Kalu that was insulting his brothers just because he want Yorubas and Hausafulanis to love him,and maybe give him vp position.

That your last sentence is balderdash

Igbo supported obj in 1999 and 2003 with massive vote
Igbos supported yaradua in 2007 with massive vote.
Igbos voted massively in 2011
So with this massive support igbos haven't done anything to be considered the position?

Just because they reject failure that's why they should be thrown out. Isn't it?

Ok. Thank U the great Political Socrates of Nigeria

Igbos should shine their eyes.

Igbos are hated in Nigeria. We must leave Nigeria. Nigeria is not for Igbos . Biafra is the only hope . We don't want Igbo presidency any more .

God bless Nnadi kanu Nnadi kanu is our leader.

God bless Ipob

GOD BLESS Biafra

The OP has intellectual issues. There is nothing such as Igbo presidency in Nigeria. I really do not know why most Nigerians are very dense in the brain.

This op get time ooo. No Igbo man will ever accept this write up. Just watch and comment from them!!

Lol

Says drone from a race whose 98% of her people voted Tofa against Abiola.

Whose 100% of her people voted balewa against awolowo

Whose 99% of her people voted Obasanjo their northern slave masters' adopted son against Yoruba adopted son Falae.

Victim criers.

Igbos, you're naturally PROUD. You're this, you're that, they fear you, you are the best.... These boastfulness will keep wrecking you if you continue and you'll always be seen as a Nobody in Nigeria political realm. Reduce yourself and let God rise you
Besides, you can't hate, insult Yorubas and Hausas, be religious Intolerance (in this circular state) and expects those victims to vote or even recognize you.
Igbos, no one is doing you, you're architect of your misfortune, change your ways towards others and see how things changes. Those that are willing to do other way round are seen as mumu by you people (Orji Uzor kalu, okorocha and co).
STOP BEING A PROUD F.O. O.L.

Nonsensical. You voted Obj Against Yoruba wish of Olu Falae. Infact, odkosh has said everything

You always talk about hate as if you guys are not the masters. Will you vote for a yoruba man? Did ya'll not support Atiku simply because he chose obi as running mate? You are always accusing people of the same damn thing you are guilty of. You go all over social media insulting every other tribe yet you are always quick to shout hate.

You get time bros. You should simply have agreed with him that we gon vote shakau over anyone from his tribe, who in is right minds would vote for ibo

Gracchus, the end will justify the means. I pity you. Your hate for Igbos won't make u better. You are just pained. Just look at your life, so miserable because you hate people who don't know a tiny creature like you exits.

We have voted obasanjo and had a great relationship with him till date

Even tho tofa had an Igbo vice we have abiola vote up to 40% even after he openly showed hatred and insulted igbos


Show me one Igbo you have supported

Even now igbokwe that was pro Yoruba how did you treat him ?

Igbos have supported every region in Nigeria ...and u have the mind to accuse us of hate ? ...why do yorubas like to project your image on others

Firstly tofa got less than 60% even with and Igbo vice ...abiola would have gotten more if he didn't say he can do without igbos ( can u Deny he didn't say this )

You expected us to vote for awolowo really after his impact in the Biafra war ? Like for real ...like u expect ijaws to vote for you in 2023 ? You guys are funny I swear

Obasanjo was a Yoruba man ...firstly ....we had two options one served our interest well ..what did you expect

From zik till date tell me one Igbo man Yoruba has given 10% votes

Joe igbokwe that has been serving you how did you reward him ?

Who calls others lazy just because they don't move about looking for shops to sell something? There is no tribe in Nigeria you haven't labelled lazy and dirty, you call Yorubas lazy, fulanis lazy, hell, even you folks label the Niger delta tribes as lazy , but you only think yourself as the hardworking tribe, if that's not hate, please tell me what it is.
