Obj must have been the greatest ooo

They only come online to shout other regions don’t like them, but the hatred among themselves is so much that they don’t support themselves. OBJ contested the PDP primary in 1998 against Alex Ekwueme and majority of them votes for OBJ against their own.

Thanks for this chief @ Minorityopinion.
All hail The Gburugburu of The South East, The Ikemba of Nnewi, Chukwuemeka Odumegu Ojukwu for these massive support(votes) from the East.
Yorubas doesn't know how to play politics, Yorubas hate themselves. Biafra Amaka

Once igbos agree to something we do it no matter what unlike most Nigerian tribes

When we agreed to zoning in Nigeria ...we gave our all ...that's the Igbo man for you

U can twist it how u like but this proves the Igbo man is trustworthy

We gave majority votes to OBJ a Yoruba man over our own son. Later, some people will say we dont "build bridges" , whatever that means.

Very doctored results by the mandate thief Obasanjo.

Ojukwu under Apga swept the votes in the Eastern states like mad.

Infact it was a Tsunami. People have forgotten that it was the year when election results were written in the sitting rooms of politicians.

That same 2003 Anambra state governorship election was decided in favour of Chris Ngige of PDP against Peter Obi of Apga who won overwhelmingly.

We all knew what happened later. How can Obasanjo beat Ojukwu in Anambra state? Till today his party Apga has continue to govern the state.

Was it not the same year PDP swept through southwest displacing Alliance for Democracy. Ndi smart by half people.

You guys should leave Ndiigbo and concentrate on your own enclaves.

Ojukwu could not win any state in the south east, he lost his own state Anambra to OBJ.

Ur son lead to massacre of 3 million people... No wise igbo wud av voted him again... He ran away do u remember that

sageb:

Only in your imagination.

His party has been winning Anambra back to back even in his death.

Apga has won Imo governoship before and had been severally all rigged out in Abia.

You guys should find another spin, this one is Dead on Arrival.

Lol u want to twist fact ...there was a zoning agreement and igbos stood by it ...they did same for obj and for yaradua ...that's the igbo spirit .

No! our son provided protection and safe haven for us when Nigeria started eating up her so called children in 1966.

He opened his strong arms as we ran from Jihadists and assured that once we made it across the enemy line we shall all fight and die together.

He provided leadership when Ogundipe abdicated his responsibility to hopeless Gowon who could not differentiate his left from his right.

He looked you all deep in the eyes and told you to go to blazes.

That is our man, and we are eternally grateful to him ,revisionism or not!

He is our lion

Must voting go along ethnicities and religious line? If a Yoruba man is capable and have what it takes to move Nigeria forward... I see no reason we should vote against him. Same goes to an hausa man..

But the Nigerians we have would rather vote for an incompetent politician just because he speaks their language or share same religious believe with them

timekeeper1:
Vitalis, see a conflicting comment from another igbo.... Are u right about trustworthy of a tin coz ur brother said it was a cheat....

Trustworthy? We owe you nothing!

No matter the arrangements between politicians, the only way Ojukwu will loose election in all the five eastern states is through high powered rigging. At least one or two states must go to him Especially Anambra his home state. Common sense should tell you that.

No body is contesting that igbos didn't give votes to PDP in 2003, but they also massively voted for APGA because of Ojukwu.

I am saying this to correct that nonsense assumption that igbos do not like themselves and therefore did not vote Ojukwu in 2003. That was a big fat lie , because yours sincerely was on ground in the East during the time in question.

really! The same way Ojukwu joined the ruling party NPN and lost a senatorial election to an unknown edwin onwudiwe in 1983.

These were the results of the sophiscated voters in 2003.

What happened to we do not put all our eggs in one basket?

You got me wrong... This are the set of People always blaming other regions for their inability to become the president of this country. But when their leader contested the election they refused to show him support.

gwafaeziokwu:
Get your facts next time when you talk.

Ojukwu contested election in Nigeria 3 times and lost all. Looking at it critically, how can a biafra warlord contest to become president of a country He fought against? Is that not double standard? How would you react if nnamdi kanu contest in 2023?

Yorubas isn't ur problem..

First is ur leaders... Then the fulanis..

Yorubas gat no problem...

sageb:
Ojukwu contested election in Nigeria 3 times and lost all. Looking at it critically, how can a biafra warlord contest to become president of a country He fought against? Is that not double standard? How would you react if nnamdi kanu contest in 2023?

You got busted on your lies about Ojukwu losing the senatorial seat to Onwudiwe in 1983 my friend.

He won the senatorial seat in 1983, you have been shown the fact so bleep off

Vitalis, u see ursef now.. U were so wrong abt trustworthy.... No one has ever in history trusted an igbo man... No even his tribal brothers...

I repeat no living being on earth has ever trusted an igbo.... Not anywhere in the world

Shady and unreliable people are discussing trust.

Things you read only in Nairaland

timekeeper1:
If Ojukwu is ur lion.. Then what is Azikwe the nationalist..?


How Come Ojukwu lost 3 different elections.. Not one, but 3

We are privileged to have many worthy sons who served their purpose at a given time.

It is a blessing from God, don't be jealous
