TheSTreetman:
The death of HungerBad has taught me a lesson today. I was always thinking I hate all this Buharist. People like BBQ guy ( I detests this one so much, I can't even read his post, cause I get irritated why doing that), Ngene guy, Sarrki, Fizznation, QuotaSystem, Corrinthians, Omenkà etc. I was thinking I hate them but what I didn't know is that I didn't hate them but I hate what they stand for same way they didn't like where I stand. I was shocked when I saw The news about HungerBad. I cried even though we didn't know each other.

We didn't hate ourselves rather we hate what we stand for, that's why if a politician switch to any other party, people that hate him before will start defending him. Like Atiku.

May You rest in Peace HungerBad.

We can all do better. How touching.

Rest in peace HungerBAD

Rest in peace my brother.

You were a gem. Nothing less.

I'm heartbroken in tears

VULCAN:
Your analogy is flawed.

Every bully in the world respects his classmate that stands up to him.

And disdains those who give in to his demands. That is life.

It's not hard to tell who Hausas respect and who they disdain. Just read the above slowly.

No wonder the North RESPECTFULLY gave southerners IGBOS a quit notice to pack out from the region when they became irritants.

Delusion 2.0.

mrvitalis:
Lol where was the agreement written

North n south had a gentleman agreement but south zones didn't

Yea yeah very smart

You're right.

Fact remains that you have no grounds or right to beg for the APC's 2023 ticket if Igbos cannot grow the balls to demand the same from PDP you've been doing boy boy for all these years.

Too bad your best political card in 2023 is giving Arewa your unsolicited 5% votes even though we know you are doing it out of frustration & bitterness

technuel:
One thing that Yorubas don't know is that no matter how close they draw to Hausas they can never love them. Hausas feels comfortable with Igbos more than Yorubas but Igbos are not as lickers that will dance to the tune of Hausas

Very illogical statement.

Can YOU love someone that questions your music more than the one that dances to it? Does that make sense to you?

Lol.

oilPUSSY:
It's not only Tinubu, majority of his tribesmen on this forum exhibit such trait.(Cowardice)even on faceless forum here where nobody will beat ťhem.
Example, if a northerner Insult them,
they will chicken out and start shouting Igbos just to save themselves from being attacked. Even when that northerner is telling them "No, it's me a northerner, leave Igbos today out of this", they will keep shouting No you are Igbo !!! . Not only on nairaland, even on facebook too..I always laugh out loud once they start exhibiting that common trait.

Sometimes I wonder what would be the fate of these people in Nigeria if they had gone through the civil war like Igbos did.. Maybe by now if they see a Fulani man on the street they will pick race .

Why the phobia,? it's really getting ridiculous.

Easterners fought a very bitter war, but that didn't stop them from facing some of these fanatical northerners eye ball to eye ball once they start misbehaving especially during that period of Sharia madness.
Even Ohaneze rubbed it on Buhari's face that majority of Igbos will reject him again if there is anything like third term despite knowing the fact that Buhari has a dictatorial tendency

Why this unnecessary phobia by SW ?
Because of Awo's saga ?
Abiola's Saga ?
Or Mile 12 crisis ?
Ofcourse some of them are on their way to this thread to deviate from the topic at hand to do what they are known for (Cowardice)
This is laughable ...

Lol you can never understand the power game.

Go and read the 48 Laws of power by Robert Greene.

A key law is to choose your battles wisely. The North is a critical strategic political partner of the south west with a lot of political influence so Tinubu is wise to pick his words and battles carefully. That's why he has achieved so much for himself and his region and why he's a political Titan today that Igbos and the entire opposition are obsessed with and terrified of.

On the other hand, we know where Ohaneze and those that talk anyhow are on the political food chain

OAUTemitayo:
After calling Hausas, Yoruba and anybody that supports APC unprintable names, preaching hate and death to the Presidential candidate of APC in 2015 and 2019, they want same APC to hand over the ticket to them under duress. What nonsense.
2023 will shock them

Electoral shock is greater than electric shock

OAUTemitayo:
Igbos had no choice in OBJ and Falae contest.
You want to reap where you didn't sow.
2023, every party should choose whoever it deem fit.
Let's slug it out.
Yorubas are ready for Hausas to rule forever, we are known never to wail over such issue. We did it from 1960 till 2015. It is what we are used to.
We will never work for a party and hand over its presidential ticket to people that called us unprintable names while building the party.
Go and take PDP's ticket.

This their attitude of using blackmail where diplomacy is needed is a major reason they cannot get ahead politically.

If the North continues to rule till eternity; it is to the Easts greatest disadvantage because we have never had aligned political interests with them unlike the Yoruba...but of course they are too consumed with emotion to realize they're cutting their noses, eyes and ears to spite their face.

mrvitalis:
Where is it written ....the south east n south south would give north the go ahead

You cant be smart by half

You're just being overly emotional. It is a gentleman's agreement between the North and South.

Drop your defeatist attitude and start making effort to get PDP presidential ticket for the SE.

If you cannot demand for the PDP ticket after 20 years loyal service which you should be entitled to, then you have no right to demand for the SW to concede the southern APC ticket to you; a party you have all rejected from day 1.

QED.

duncun:
Let's just say, you need me as much as I need you. If we can't work together then let the stranger reap from our foolishness.

You cannot answer a simple question lol

Are you too ashamed to say the SE is still not politically worthy to demand the 2023 ticket from the PDP despite 20 years support & loyalty?

And you're not ashamed to continue to say you'll continue to serve the party regardless of the insult like a political slave? See why everyone says Igbos suck at politics?

Too bad your best card in 2023 is that the North continues to rule you till you receive sense.

duncun:

If the SW fails to be reasonable, then the north should continue. Should sw be in a position of se/ss you will do worst.

Which one is being reasonable again? Answer the question above.

Mind you I'm from the core North and care less if you want to give us Presidency for life but I want you to defend the validity of your argument.

duncun:
se and ss have always voted for pdp and it won't change now, however if sw need a vote from this two regions in future she has to be reasonable . I'm being plain as I can.

That wasn't my question.

Why can the SE not demand the 2023 ticket from the PDP since you all believe politics is by entitlement and you've always supported the party like you rightly said?

duncun:
And you wish it continues to be alien at the detriment of se/ss.? If the south fails to be reasonable enough, then the north will tap from its foolishness .

Lest I forget...

Why can't you demand the 2023 ticket from the PDP which the SE has supported en masse for over 20 years?

duncun:
And you wish it continues to be alien at the detriment of se/ss.? If the south fails to be reasonable enough, then the north will tap from its foolishness

The SE isn't playing the kind of politics that would allow others concede anything to them and this foolishness has been pointed out severally but nothing has changed. The SS stands a better chance.

Rotation between North and South is what is recognized; whether the candidate is Isoko, Ijaw, Yoruba, Efik, Igbo, Fulani, Kanuri or Tiv.

kayfra:
They won't. It will only make the south more United in purpose since they'll never have presidential power. Quickening the disintegration we all long for.

...and this is what the North knows too well, and why I'm dead sure power will go south in 2023. Rotation is sacrosanct.

mrvitalis:
Nothing stop the north too ...without rotation south would never smell presidency

Rotation between North and South still exists and & is one of the pillars holding up this country.

Microzoning within the regions is what is alien.

babyfaceafrica:
lolz..no one.gives power,you work for it....2023,presidency will go to those who worked for it.. not any emotional sentiment

Gbam.

Politics is about give and take, not entitlement.

Those who argue with this fact will learn the hard way.

Nyamuriflathead:
If I Was A Tribalist I'd Have Given It To FriendNG , Alhassanyusuf Or Quotasystem. So, Sharaaap There

Just read your moniker.

Lol

As one southern airport is downgraded for safety concerns, another is being upgraded to international standard to complement it's geographical location, easing traffic on MMA & PH airports.

Dividends of democracy

Congratulations to Oshiomole & other Edo brethren.

Mraphel:
We Igbo not interested in Nigerian presidency.. We want the Hausas and Fulanis to continue to rule us.. I will see how Yorubas will win the Northerners, South South, South East together in 2023.

For the first time they are United in that desire I've noticed. Impressive.

In an age where the likes of the Emir of Kano & Oba of Lagos are deliberately partisan, disrespect and desecration of their thrones should come as no surprise.

donaldde2:
Saraki and Dogara dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the run up to the last general elections. While Saraki lost his bid to return to the Senate, Dogara won his election. “Relations between the Executive and the Legislature were not the best in the 8th National Assembly. I sincerely hope each one of us will do his utmost to ensure there is a better working relationship between these two arms of government in the 9th Assembly so that we can serve the people better,” Buhari was quoted as saying in a statement issued by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu.

Lol baba low key throwing shade @ Saraki after retiring the learner from the Senate

KidsNEXTdoor:
Osibanjo as president is dead on arrival

Fayose, Saraki, Onnoghen, Jonathan, Atiku etc.

When last did your political prediction not fail?

Never blindly mix emotions with politics.

I would so love for Emir Sanusi to abdicate the throne to save face, then get back into mainstream politics (that financial brain cannot continue wasting under a turban), join the APC and contest on a joint ticket with Osibanjo in 2023.

Coincidentally that's when Gandollar's immunity expires so justice can be served.

God works in mysterious ways

Redoil:
If sanusi can stoop low and sincerely apologise and beg gej all his sins will be forgiving and all his trouble will be over

Jonas influence is not beyond Otueke.

The intervention was timely then.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Brilliant development to help decongest Lagos.

This would have been impossible without the new Lagos-Ibadan railway. Kudos to Amaechi & President Buhari.

Stingman:
You still find this thing too difficult to understand. Are you saying that Igbos started losing elections in Lagos because they provoke their host? When did this provocation start? You are just being smart by half or plainly mischievous. The truth is the historical fact...an not any grudge.

I also see that you skipped the part of Miyetti Allan and Ipob. Is that also a grudge?

You're finally starting to get it. Exactly why they're fast losing political relevance in Lagos and around the country.

I chose to avoid the twin demons because two wrongs don't make a right.

That said, it's the East/IPOB that currently seeks political power & relevance, so they should be the last to provoke/insult other Nigerians.

Stingman:
My friend this is no grudge. The point I am trying to make is that the history of exclusion, the history of tribal politics is still there today, as we speak. You have no point as the Igbos and Yorubas win elections in London and elsewhere. The point I wanted to emphasize is that calling Lagos a no man's land is not the reason for the tribal marginalization and exclusion, but historical. You can read my comment again.

Stingman:
Did they call Lagos a no man's land in the 60's when Awolowo introduced ethnic tribalism? What difference was it then?

You traced your issues back to Awolowo in the 50's so yes, that was a grudge you presented not me.

Winning elections in those places actually buttresses my point as they are able to do so there because they behave themselves abroad. Let Igbos/IPOB start consistently calling London no man's land, or call Britain a zoo on several media like they do in Nigeria and see if any Igbo man smells the ballot in those places ever again.

You cannot insult, deride or deliberately provoke your hosts and live in peace with them. Anywhere. QED.

Stingman:
What of Miyetti Allah, an Hausa/Fulani group that have gone more than insulting all Nigerians, by killing them in thousands and destroying their communities. Could you imagine what you would have done or say if Miyetti Allah was IPOB? Nigeria has massive problem because different people with distinct cultural values and aspirations are lumped together by force...Lugard didn't consult the people before the different groups were merged together in 1914.

Stingman:
Did they call Lagos a no man's land in the 60's when Awolowo introduced ethnic tribalism? What difference was it then? Yorubas contest and win elections in UK and other places, an nobody told them to go back to their country to vote. Recently Igbo won elections in UK and Canada as well. Nobody asked them to go home. The thing is that most of you irrational people must find a thing to hang on an animal just to ensure it was hanged.

The decision to keep holding a 50 year old grudge is totally yours. I'm sure it's been of great benefit so far.

I thought you could dispute my point about the clear difference between Igbos in Lagos & other Yorubas in London.

Bye.

tobiasbeecher:
Can you show me a proof where Igbos as ethnic group came together to insult and forment trouble in any part of Lagos? If you can't show me this, please shut up once and for all and let us have peace.

IPOB is an Igbo group and they consistently insult Yorubas and other Nigerians despite living amongst them including the Oba of Lagos. Nigerians living in other countries do not do that either individually or as a group so your argument is irrelevant.
