You be candid, Osinbajo is more active than Buhari, but we all know he gets no chance in 2019. Nevertheless a non so active Buhari is better than all those crooks in PDP.

There are different tribes in Nigeria but there are only 3 major tribes, which are; Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo.

Of this 3 major major tribes, the Hausa, Yoruba and even some minor tribes have had their fair share of being at the helms of affair of this nation but surprisingly, the Igbos has never rule at any point in time.

Well, Naijaloaded will take you through the top 5 reasons Igbo cannot rule in Nigeria.

1. Biafra Agitation

Since Nigeria was amalgamated and gain independence, there has been an agitation for secession by the igbos who see themselves as more of Biafra than Nigeria.

However, before anyone can become a President in Nigeria, you must secure the majority support of 2 of these 3 major tribes and have a considerable level of acceptability and popularity across other tribes.

This has been difficult for the Igbos to achieve, it is very difficult for an average Hausa man to trust an Igbo man with power, the hatred they have for one another is like that of water and fire, who cannot co-habit together, talkless of voting for one another.

As hospitable as the Yorubas are, working fully for the igbo to be able to rule Nigeria is highly unlikely, that is, not even taking into account the population factor.

The unity and the political consciousness of the Hausa which has made it impossible for anybody to become Nigeria President or Head-of-state without the support of the majority of the who is who among the Hausas.

SOLUTION: Until they see themselves as Nigerians, which is the only way they can instill trust into the Yoruba and the Hausa, ruling Nigeria may continue to be a tall dream.

2. Failing To Speak With One Voice

Igbo deserves to hold a prime position in Nigerian Government but they have not been so lucky except for Nnamdi Azikwe and Alex Ekwueme, no other Igbo man has been able to get hold of a prime position.

Also, since Nigeria return to democracy in 1999, nobody of Igbo extraction has assume the position of either the President or Vice-president, no thanks to their disunity, the Igbo elites most time pursue narrow self-interest rather than the common good of the entire Igbo nation.

For example, after Former President Olusegun Obasanjo completed his tenure in 2007, there were agitation by the Igbos to take over the government and they had a fine candidate in Alex Ekwueme, who could have given every other candidates a run for their money but the failure to speak with one voice wrecked their chances.

Igbo aspirants hated on Ekwueme and this agitation dashed their hope and everything went down as they could no longer think straight to laid down a better candidate.

SOLUTION: In the past, the Yoruba had unanimously supported M.K.O Abiola in 1993 and Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, the Hausas also unanimously supported Shehu Shagari in 1979 and Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, same cannot be said about Igbo at any point in time in the history of Nigeria and until such narrative changes, the Presidency may continue to elude the igbo nation.

3. Lack Of Cooperation

In whatever one do in life, cooperation with one co-traveler is a necessity, as much as the Igbo are good in business which has been aided with the ability to cooperate with anyone, they have been unable to replicate that at the political scene.

For example, in June 1993, as much as most Nigerians supported Bashorun M.K.O Abiola, the Igbos for reasons best known to them fail to queue behind him despite his glaring popularity, had the Igbos supported the Yoruba then, it would have been impossible to annul that credible election.

This has made it very difficult for the Yoruba, who are also very much politically sophisticated to cooperate with the Igbos in any election, the Igbos has bottled the chance to cement their relationship with the South West, had the Igbos cooperated with the Yoruba then, they would be having something to leverage on in getting the Yoruba support in their aspiration for the Presidency and until they are willing to cooperate with other important Nigerian tribes, they may continue to see the Presidential position only from the mountain top.

4. Not Trusted By Other Tribes

The Igbos are the least tolerance tribe in Nigeria, they find it very difficult to co-habit with other tribes unless they are gaining more from you.

Their intolerance to rule by other tribes was best described by Late Sir Ahmadu Bello when he said they are too dominating, he went further to said:- “if you employ an Igbo man as a labourer, he will like to take over as foreman within a short while”.

With such an orientation and mindset, Nigerians will continue to be suspicious of entrusting them with power.

Most Nigerians believe Igbo will use the Presidential power to actualize their Biafra dream if they eventually win the sit.

5. Love For Wealth Acquisition

It is an open secret that no other tribe in Nigeria and perhaps in Africa and the rest of the world values wealth acquisition as much as the Igbos.

They values wealth irrespective of the means that can be used to get it and such an act is not a quality expected of a leader of any nation.

The position of the Nigeria President comes with limitless power and loftiness which can be used for self enrichment at an unimaginable larger scale and a nation that has sunk very deep into corruption, misappropriation of fund and money laundry may collapse having someone of this kind of character as the Presidency.

For these reasons, Nigerians tend to deny the Igbos the opportunity of not only assuming the Presidency but also prevent them from taking over key financial positions.

Until such perception changes, ruling this nation may be impossible.

Are we having more than 8 episodes for this season or are having to wait for 3 months before getting to see the last 2 episodes of the season?

What's wrong ssf?

franchasng:
This country is a shame

Just because Godswill Akpabio who they once tagged the most corrupt Nigerian politician just because he was under PDP now decamped to APC qualified Akwa Ibom state to have the so called PMB social fund to help traders.

Why didn't this happen last year

They want to use this useless social programme to deceive Akwa Ibomites that voting Buhari as Akpabio has joined APC will bring more federal presence in their state as promised by Akpabio during his decamping speech.

It is finished!

What's now paining you there? Those that'll benefit from it will certainly feel the impact of the government and certainly be happy, you don't want them to be happy?

Slayer of PDP

247Dior:
you deserve some accolades bro... as the most stupid boy of the year 2018

Bro, kindly please answer my question, what award do you then deserve?

I pray so too oh. That'll be a stress-free win for Buhari.

South West power House. It's just funny how people are not even talking about PDP here. I tell you, PDP is forever dead in South West. They only exist in the potopoto land of the rising mud. After all the muddy people always supports failure. Jonathan comes to mind

Buhari forever

What reasonable thing can this clown offer other than unnecessary empty promise of restructuring? Apparently it's all in a bid to sway the flat-heads. Only flat-heads buy crap.

Buhari till Ipob flat-head become oval-head

Watch 6foot 7foot video.

Empiree:
lol. U probably don't fully get it yet. It is 50$/hr according to the descriptions above.

And it says FULL TIME. Full time means 8hrs per day, 40hrs/week, 5 days/week.

But in real life you can't get 50$/hr but some companies pay 18-20$/hr for this

Eld Mubarak

Oh I get it now. So is the job available

Eid Mubarak bro. I wish Allah's unlimited blessings on you and your family.

abokibuhari:
You still they support APC after them no give you job

PDP give you job?

dlondonbadboy:
Kwankwoso is a movement. I know that whoever wins PDP ticket, automatically becomes President..

Even butterflyleo would defeat Buhari if PDP gives him the ticket

How old are you

Hopebringer:
ACCA globally accepted

ICAN localy accepted only

Just saying

How many levels does ACCA entails, and is there provision for exemption for it too?

lanrexlan:

Before nko

Eid Mubarak guys, Taqaballallhu Minna wa minkum

Ameen, thanks brother. JazakAllahu Kayrn.

Empiree:
Nigeria is not alone. These goats escaped from poultry in New York City and found on subway tracks.

Second picture is Nigeria version

Oyinbo goat, see as dem dey look like mumu. I'm sure they cannot be as tough as Nigerian goat. Haha

Empiree:
lol... Thought you saw it. What were you thinking before?

I thought it was just a one time job. Even per day, it pays really. You don't get $50/day job in Nigeria except you work in Shell or Chevron, even those have to be managers and not just normal staff.

Come oh brother, is the work really available? I'm interested.

Empiree:
lol, it is a normal job for many. They even make money than the so called administrative job.

It is in Nigeria they see this job as trash. You won't get this much money as shown here. Reality is, there are companies that would pay you 18 to 20$/hr for this. Do the math.

You prolly get $350 a wk for office job. Your choice.

I hate office job

/hour
I didn't see that. I'll do it baje-baje

Empiree:
would you?

If I don't have a better job, I don't have option

Yuck!! This is gross.

Liamm:
gay-briel, you again?

Who's gayBrieal? It appears you' skipping your dose again.

Empiree:
Would You Do This Job?

Probably the toilet overflow

All thanks to President Muhammadu Buhari the killer of RECESSION. If there was still recession, MTN would never do something like this.

Sai baba till 2023

I never liked this Ajimobi of a guy.

Good riddance

khiaa:
I'm concerned about the 66 people who were shot in Chicago and 11 died. It's believed that the cops and white nationalist are behind it. Black/Africans are being murdered every day, where is your warm sensitive heart for them? No, I would never marry a white man so there's no chance in your wish being fulfilled.

Whatever the case maybe, you have no reason whatsoever be appear stone-hearted on this thread, it only shows you have no empathy for the human life.

That's quite tantalizing, but we all know say na lie.

khiaa:
It doesn't concern me.

You should have been the man's wife. Stone-hearted reprobate.

This is really sad and heartbreaking. These whites are just as terrible and psychopathic as some us down here.

Yesterday it was a man crashing a plane into his home in an attempt to kill his wife. Today this. The world should just end.
