What I mean we are free people....we vote who we want it doesn't matter if its an outsider against our own....provided we know the person can do better


We don't vote who they told us to vote....we love our political freedom, social freedom name any freedom that's what we crave for

I see, the word Republican isn't really an acronym to describe such.

Republican is the name of a party under a conservative ideaology.

Btw been people of free will with liberty cum rights is actually a liberal philosophy more expanciated in the Democratic party

Rotentik19:
Exactly ! More than any other tribe in Nigeria, the Ibos have suffered from Fulani brutality. Yet they love their oppressors more than their friends. Right from the days of Nnamdi Azikiwe up until now, the Igbo would rather die asslicking the fulani than cooperate with the rest of the south. Their mentality is that: if we cannot have everything to ourselves and have every other tribe under our feet, then let the Fulani continue to rule. Shameless lot !

Don't mind them.
And they'll became shouting southern unity

DeeMain:
Did you see the margin in each of the eastern states Tofa won? It was very close race considering that Abiola ran a Muslim-Muslim ticket and Tofa chose an Igbo man, Sylvester Ugoh, as running mate.

Many Igbos supported Abiola and wanted him to win. They gave him far above the 25% of votes he required in 3/4 of the states. Abiola won Anambra and had over 45% in most of the Igbo states.

With all the rumour back then surrounding Abiola and the bible...

That's solid support from the east bro. In fact without the Sylvester Ugoh influence, Abiola would have won everywhere in the east hands down.

Sure, I understand you.
But they shouldn't be crying that Yoruba supported Buhari, etc.
When we all have him support, same as akitu, same as when GoodLuck was out of office

That's hypocrisy.

This was my comment to the guy that was saying support, support.

Sammy07:
Lols.
It seems, I'll go with your definition.
That means, every states supportted Buhari.
Don't blame Yorubas alone.

Everyone supported atiku, don't take the glory to yourself alone

Everyone supported Jonathan, don't take the glory.

Everyone removed Jonathan from office, don't blame the Yorubas and North.

Okay?

Gabkosh:
He really doesn't.

Don't mind the guy jare.

Sammy07:

Okay?

I have no idea what all this gibberish about Atiku and Jonathan has to do with the fact that an Igbo boy supported MKO in 1993 and that Igbos showed support for MKO Abiola with their blood and their votes. Make Tinubu 2023 pipe-dream ambition no make una craze o

[/s]No yoruba man has ever been president with yoruba votes. History is not on your side.

Every yorubaman voted by yorubas failed to be president.

Awo, MKO, Falae are all reference case. Tinubu or osinbade will join the list in 2023.


#FACT

sebi u guys know how to insult the Old East. We are waiting for you in 2023[s][/s]

Again, to hell with you and your support, keep the useless votes for Atiku and ur Fulani master

Gabkosh:
Yes, and you must be a very intelligent person


Cos we know the truth.

So while Chidoka was supporting Abiola some yoruba elders were lining their pockets, recording NADECO meetings and sending to Aso Rock.

The former secretary of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) Ayo Opadokun has said that late M.KO Abiola was betrayed by some Yoruba elders. He said these elder tapped proceeding of meeting and sent to the Presidential Villa

Opadokun said some of these people have also died The former secretary of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) Ayo Opadokun accused some Yoruba elders of betraying the winner of the 1993 presidential election Moshood Abiola. Opadokun in a interview with Vanguard said a few Yoruba elders played leading role in the betrayal of Abiola. Although he did not mention names, Opadokun said, some of these were trusted by the NADECO members

Esseite:
His unflinching support for Abiola, GEJ then Kanu would sure leave you confused on his kind of person.. but there is a common thing amongst the three, they brought about change in different times..

which Kanu are you referring here?

Sammy07:

yes,that's why the likes of buhari will rule over you and your generation forever



Biro and paper lolsssssss

Montaque:
Who is Osita Chidoka's father in law? The man is not married to Ojo Maduekwe's daughter as you were told.

Hmm... explain.

Sammy07:
You're ins.ane
I'm not sorry to say that.

When will you guide your people against false accusations??

Yes, Igbos and the North are the problem of this country.
They both destroy this country.

North --- through power / governance
South East --- through voting and supporting them

Not exactly bro. Even the North wanted out at a point in the history of Nigeria. The Igbo were the only tribe sweating real hard to keep "the zoo" as one (as evident in the political activities of Zik). Zik even had disagreement with Awolowo & Ahmadu Bello over the unity of "the zoo" he labeled them "ethnic champions". Aguiyi Ironsi & Ojukwu fought Isaac adaka Boro & killed more than hundred of his soldiers just because he sought freedom from " the zoo". Not telling the truth, is great disservice to posterity. The Igbo surreptitiously, destroyed the foundation of what would have been a great nation (if all had cooperated). The Fulani are only taking advantage of the division in the south. Peace !

True, Fulanis are only taking advantage of the division

But Abiola sink Bible

Sammy07:

If you have any sense at all, you will know why some people opted for atiku instead of the certified failure and tribalist and jihadist..

You haven't said amen to my prayer for you o,Abi oo like adura!?!?!?

Baba akowe.

Another Fulani

Sammy07:
Then, why do you say you support the west?
I've you ever supported the west in anything

If you want to know the meaning of support (in election terms), check the results of 1993 & 1999 and of Awolowo.
See the margin between the two parties in the west.

Even the Fulanis that killed you guys, you keep supporting them.
Yet, we are your problem

I use to think yorubas were our friends while growing up, but yorubas have proven to be snakes. You were the biggest campaigners against Ibo presidency but you come in daylight to smile at us.

If you had the power, every Igbo man will be dead today.

It's good you have the record of yoruba electoral failures according to political history. That your picture proves that Ibo votes are not inconsequential as you would like us to believe after voting the winner in recent elections.

What your picture tells us about yoruba presidency in 2023 is very clear, THERE WILL BE NO YORUBA PRESIDENCY IN 2023. It is either the East takes their rightful turn according to zoning princinple or power remains North.

You have campaigned against Ibo presidency for decades, we have now started our own campaign against yoruba presidency. You don't have a monopoly of hate and evil. Do your worst.

nku5:
Use your brain. Did Igbos support MKO Abiola or not? Did Osita Chidoka as a student put an advert in a national daily or not? Even aftpeddled annulment of the election by IBB were yoruba elders not sneaking into Aso Rock to collect money in the middle of the night? Were Igbos like Olisa Agbakoba, Chris Anyanwu and Comrade Chima Ubani not getting locked up and tortured by the military. When NADECO people were hiding and couldnt organise was it Not Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu that gave them a safe meeting place in his home?

When MKO came back from exile and declared himself president at Epetedo where were the yoruba elders? Was it not Chief Bobo Nwosisi and Ralph Obioha standing with him when the going got tough?

So there were no Yorubas who stood by Abiola ? The same Igbo that never supported him were the one running around to save after the annulment ? I guess Arthur Nzeribe & ABN gave him maximum support too abi ? When certain lies have been peddled for too long, they begin to sound like the truth. Bros, no matter what your argument is, it is on record that Igbos never supported Abiola. Not necessarily because the other candidate was better, but just because he was Yoruba.

Were the igbos in power then? Were they occupying all vital federal government agencies and positions then?
Were they living on other people's resources then?
Were they parasiting others then?

Zik did that,he made that blunder with an open heart of honesty.

If he knew things would turn out the way they are now,he never would've been a party to one bloody naijiriya.


I don't need to be an Igbo person to know that,I'm SS and all this blame games will further set us southerners backwards.

If we channel all this energy we use to do roforofo on more important issues like fight for true federalism restructuring regionalism resource control or confederation,things will look up for sure

27 years ago on June 8, 1993, The Guadian Published my advertisement in support of the Abiola/Kingibe ticket for the June 12 election. The advert was a culmination of events starting from University of Nigeria Enugu Campus, The Guardian Newspapers and relationships that formed my worldview.

At UNEC, during my first semester, I started a Newsletter titled “The Mirror” of which I was the reporter, editor and publisher. The newsletter was stenciled, cyclostyled and pasted across hostel and departmental notice boards weekly. The Newsletter endorsed Emejulu Okpala for President SUG, he won. Our relationship started as we formed Eastern Youth Forum as our political arm to raise consciousness amongst the people of old Eastern Region.

In 1992, ASUU went on a long strike and to occupy my time and realize my desire for journalism, I went to Rutam House and requested to meet the Managing Director, Lade Bonuola. He obliged me, listened to me patiently as I made my pitch for a part time job as a reporter. He asked a few questions, and I believe, struck by my audacity offered me a job with transport allowance as the only remuneration. I accepted happily. Editor, Emeka Izeze, discussed with me briefly and sent me to work as reporter at the Business Desk. I arrived the following day and me Bisi Ojediran, Head of the Desk, his initial surprise that I was not a Mass Communication student on internship dissipated quickly as he gave me assignments immediately to edit a story. My life as reporter started.

My main target at The Guardian was to meet and acquaint myself with members of the Editorial Board. The Guardian at that time was the most influential newspaper in the country. Their famous editorial titled TO SAVE NIGERIA, rattled General Babangida and gingered the emerging opposition to military rule. The Guardian was a prestigious newspaper. Back to my presence at Rutam House.

I started with Edwin Madunagu, whose Thursday articles was a must read for me since secondary school days. Through him I met many members of the Nigeria radical left. I sought out Olatunji Dare, whose Matters Miscellaneous and Tuesday writings was a delight to read. He was mostly busy chairing the board. Okey Ikechukwu of the Ijele fame held sway every Wednesday, I thought of him as one of the most perceptive writer around. Reuben Abati, at the time the youngest member of the board, wrote in his literary form of interesting dialogue every Friday, a fitting end to the week. How can I forget Sina Odugbemi, who I spent endless hours with listening to his intense logic. His Monday articles was a wonderful way to start my week. The relationships i developed with some of the editorial board members opened new vistas in my worldview.

Through Edwin Madunagu, I met a number of members of radical left. I lived on the same route with Reuben, so most nights we went home together. I learnt a lot.

As June 12 election approached, the radical left and the media were united in working to get Gen. Babangida out. Abiola was not the best choice but getting IBB out was more important. We met regularly and on one occasion we met at Baba Omojola’s place and he requested that if the police should interrupt our meeting we should all claim members of Mourners Association in a meeting to mourn our departed. As the forces loyal to the government fought to use the Muslim/Muslim ticket to rally support for Tofa, who we believe was the government lackey, we decided it was time to get the people of south east and Christians to focus on a single enemy. This led to the advert paid for by my father, who was strongly in support of Abiola.

The advert caused problems amongst members of Eastern Youth Forum. Comrade Akhaine Odion and others encouraged me to stay the course.

In 1994, just before the anniversary of June 12, I met Chief Abiola through the Managing Director of The Concord, Mr Stanley Egbochukwu.....the story of the meeting and the link with Eastern Mandate Union, Arthur Nwankwo, Fred Eno, Kudirat Abiola and others will be discussed in a Facebook live video on June 12, 7pm West African Time.

If it weren't for Zik we won't be in this position.

If it weren't for Irosin, we wont be in this position

If it weren't for the first coup, we wont be in this position.

If it weren't for the votes u keep giving them, even after the war, we wont be in the position.

So are you saying?
Yet you keep blaming the North when. You were the ones that gave them the chance.

Who should we blame if you guys ain't in power or government or appointments.
Who voted for them?

Mtcheww.

Sammy07:

You were beginning to get the point by stating that some yorubas stood by him while some betrayed him but you fell victim to your prejudices along the way.

You mentioned ABN and Nzeribe but omitted the other ABN chieftain named Abimbola Davies who was the one who actually filed an injunction in court to annul the election of his own kinsman. It is the case that Abimbola Davies filed that IBB used as reason to annul it.

Lolz, we we were not in government since 1960, why is it that the federal government keeps developing our region instead of your regions?
Yet you guys voted for them.

Yes, Fulani will become president in 2023, does it stops the Fulani developing Yoruba land instead of the east?

Sammy07:
You shagari nko?
Another Fulani

1st,I am not Igbo and I stand by the truth. Everybody, the he igbos made mistakes in the past. Voting for Shagari against the great Awo,a fellow southerner, was a mistake,a blunder. But you cannot altogether blame them for not voting enmasse for Awo,for how could they have voted for, supported Awo,who not too long ago, showed the enemy the only way to destroy them in the civil war?!?!

How do you expect the igbos to accept Awo after all he did to them and their children during the civil war?!
If you were in their shoes, you will do same.



That was past then,now everybody knows buhari and his evils but you do called Sophisticated people still went ahead, simply cos you have beef with the Igbos, you went ahead and brought him to power in this present era of civilisation that we are!!!!!!!!

You worked against a southern president in favour of a core NORTHENER,that's nothing but a great never before seen abomination and you will make sacrifices or else..

Everybody is feeling the buhari heat today and you people are not left out.


Eku biro ati iwe,o.
