Oplomo:
How popular was PDP in your yorubaland before you GIFTED the presidency in 1999 and 2003?

How come yoruba were gifted presidency for not aligning with a party but Igbos should be scolded, maligned and scorned for doing same? Make us understand your nigerian politics.

QuotaSystem:
The Yoruba (MKO), had previously won the 1992 Presidential elections, but were denied the Presidency by the military, hence the concession by top parties in 1999 upon our return to civilian rule to pacify the SW.

It is also why Democracy day was moved from May 29th to June 12th each year, to mark the date of MKO’s victory.

So tell us what are Igbo to be pacified for? Calling Nigeria a zoo? Supporting murderous secessionist terrorists? Insulting other Nigerians unceasingly for the past 7 years?

Oplomo:
'Ibos can't play politics' but the Ibos getting elected by Europeans and American are from Jupiter?

Political victories are achieved only through alliances and partnerships. Even with the much touted population of the north, Buhari consistently lost elections until his people chose to have an alliance with the SW. Since 2015, Tinubu and his southwestern political block have eaten lots of insult and shit from the Fulani block, but they've chosen to quietly swallow the embarrassment in hope of clinching the presidency in 2023, and you'd agree that is something that looks quite likely (through tinubu or osinbajo). In my opinion, that's what politics is all about, not insulting people consistently for 7 years and then somehow turning around expecting their support to win an election.

obailala:
Igbos not infiltrating APC is what made Apc a Yoruba-Hausa-Fulani party. You might ask, "didn't some Igbos join APC?", but that's not enough; we talking collectively and not individuals. Even the individuals who joined APC were literally banished and collectively tagged names like 'Okoro-Awusa' just for daring to play politics the Nigerian way.

Another example of poor politics is what's been happening since 2015; no matter how smart or wealthy or populated you are, you can never achieve political victories by burning bridges (which is effectively the only thing Igbos have collectively done since 2015, i.e. insulting and mocking Yorubas, Hausas and Fulanis).

Parachoko:
Nah stupid IPOB guys wey dey always cry about fulanis dey make the OP over estimate the fulanis

When Tinubu eventually get the power, all this shouts of fulanis up and down go die down.

Buhari cried on TV after he was defeated by Jonathan in 2011, without the APC, Buhari and his CPC would have been defeated in 2015 again with Buhari crying bitterly.

Fulanis are overhype by the Igbos. When power change hands in 2023, all this talk of Fulani go die down.

This is one of the reason I will never support Atiku.

jamesversion:
Fulani guy with some power

This fellow is just a broke ass boy Okoro with Internet connection.

cktheluckyman:
So going by your assertion once a state Governor supports a candidate,all the voters in the state will vote that candidate

PassingShot:
You can't understand that level of politicking. Just keep watching

Spandau:
Go phuck yourself! Fake thing.

Islandlady:
Gbam that's it, let their PDP give them the slot naa, why do they want Aboki party

These same Eboes was calling the hausas/fulanis Cow and the yorubas Slaves...well Cow and slaves does not vote for human!
Simple reap where you sow

PointZerom:
What has IPOB done that Boko Haram ISWAP have not done yet you voted for the North.
Tell me any Igbo politician that called NIGERIA a zoo.
The North will retain the power..mark my word.

Any sensible aspirant should cultivate the Northwest and Northeast. You can win the Presidency without the votes of one particular region I will not name because of their ability to insult more than their ability to vote. But you can’t win without the Northwest and the Northeast.

PointZerom:
But it was given to OBJ to pacify the Yorubas on MKO death.

Acidosis:
Then why don't you give him the freedom and liberty to own and manage his own country?

trutharena:
I also help El-Rufai son in congratulating our President, Twitter branch, H.E Obi Pandora on his projected win.

omenkaLives:
The se clown who said there shall henceforth be no election in "Biafraland", wants an Igbo president.

Smh.

More unreasonable comments.. please were are all the intelligent people on this forum?. I am not interested in your personal opinions of them I want sound argument based on facts not based on what you discuss in your road side beer palour.

livebyday:
This is absurd. Same way we allowed other geopolitical zones to ascend based on the perceived gentle men's agreement of rotation let us allow the southeast have their turn. It only makes sense, anyone arguing the fact is just being unreasonable . I see majority of opponents to this turn of the southeast are form the southwest and I wonder why.

I could also argue that GEJ my brother didn't complete two trims so he has a right to contest but even we know it's rightfully the turn of the southeast hence why you arent hearing us really pushing .

It is just down right despicable to argue the fact . You agree to rotation and shouted to high heavens when it suites you but suddenly when it's another geopolitical zone you stand against it? Hmmm remember posterity never forgets .

Nuff said

Afonjakid:
Says a Fulani herdsman whose region have been invaded by all types of terrorists all over the world, kidnapping and killings seems to be normal news from there.. it's now like everyday thing that Nigerians have gotten used.

The rich and powerful from the north are now refugees in Abuja while the poor ones are now taking refuge in IDP camps scattered all over the north and neighboring countries.

Imagine your people taking refuge in poor useless countries like Chad and Niger republic

Most Schools and businesses have all closed due to bandits constant kidnapping and killings of abokiis
You dare not use the road again to travel unless you have money to pay ransom even using the train and plane is still not that safe over there

Afonjakid:
I'm not comparing it, I'm trying to make it clear that the north is gone already. Terrorism has no place in igboland.ipob will soon go the massob way since they decided to choose violence

Afonjakid:
States in the NW and NE have most be completely overran by Fulani armed Herdsmen, bandits,BH and iswap terrorists

No day goes by without news of killings or kidnapping being reported in the north but you are more concerned about SE that doesn't care of you..

I'm sure that before the end of today,news of killings and kidnappings in the north will be reported here the north have completely destroyed itself, I'm just pitying the Christians over there and the southern soldiers being sacrificed everyday over there for an on ending war

AdakaBoro8:
Vasel15 come and read the true story of Adaka Boro and why we Ijaws always celebrate him every year..

Adaka Boro is like God to Ijaws, so attacked on him is actually attacked on the whole Ijaw nation

Ndimkpurummiri:
Okoros just avoid this thread like plaque since Simon Ekpa didn't not point accusing finger to DSS or Fulani

Properties worth millions set ablaze for what exactly ? ...if u neutralised them why set the properties on fire ?

Your No 1 job is to secure life n properties of the people yet your burn properties worth millions ?

Makes absolutely no sense

Recall that “Evil forest” and his gang parading as Unknown gunmen have been terrorizing the people of Orlu and its environs leaving so many innocent people dead, some wounded while properties worth millions of naira were set ablaze during the time he and his gang held sway in the area.

The Joint security task force comprising of the police and military personnel has killed a notorious gang leader of the IPOB/ESN militia known as “Evil forest” during a gun duel that ensued yesterday at Orlu.

According to our sources, it was disclosed that a gun duel took place between the IPOB/ESN militia gang and the joint security task force which led to the killing of “Evil forest” and 25 members of his gang while others sustained life-threatening injuries.

The joint security task force has continued with their patrol around the area to ensure peace and security are restored while encouraging the people to go about their lawful businesses without fear or any form of intimidation by the IPOB/ESN gang known as Unknown gunmen.
