Skengman:
Tinubu is a performer likewise Amaechi. The question now is, which of them is physically and mentally fit enough to pilot the colossal and diverse affairs of Nigeria ?

Amaechi is our man. All-round capability.

I visited an Igbo village, the typical Igbo village that would give you insight into how Ndigbo lived before the whiteman came. What I noticed is that Igbo are naturally blessed. There's oil above and beneath the Igbo country. There's also an immense fertile land. Now what captivated me was the oil palm tree that it seems that God used in blessing all of the Igbo country, from Aboh to Bonny to Ezza. Now my question is, what were Ndigbo doing with all that oil palm before the palm oil trade was introduced by the whiteman? Considering that our people were mostly using palm oil to cook, doesn't it mean that most of the fruits were wasted? Was there anything like hinterland palm oil business before the white people came?

CharleyBright:
This Amaechi thing ehn.
Some of you Southerners pushing and hyping this imaginary and elusive Amaechi ticket are foolishly flying the Northern agenda kite.
By the time y'all eyes open to realise you have been played by the North, a Northern Muslim will be occupying Aso Villa for another 8yrs and y'all will be back on Nairaland whining and ranting.
Make una continue as una Mumu never do.

Well... that would be the fault of Yoruba people and not other southerners. If they subscribed to southern unity without deceit and selfishness as their purpose, the north would have agreed to a compromise. The southern agenda for 2023 is SE/SS or the north continues.

AstralBody:
Better oil dey ur head!
U see dat yeye meeting wei SW dey hold for southern unity, they are on their own. Dem tink say dem wise! Is either a SE or SS becomes the president or the North can continue ruling.

This is the stance of every reasonable southerner. Yoruba are not aware what they have done to themselves. Before they can ever gain the trust of other southerners would be in another life. Imagine the backstabbing of 2015 wasn't enough to them. They have to add greed, excess greed again in 2023. What is most annoying is that most of the resources these people are targeting to steal is from the SE and SS. Yet no conscience for equity, with due apology to sensible Yoruba who didn't join in betraying the south in 2015.

tamdun:
Who told u they forgive him, wait until he fail to clinch the ticket...

I do not see him NOT clinching the ticket. It's a done deal unless some unforeseen circumstance. Only PDP is the barrier to his presidency. And PDP hasn't much choice. With Buhari's cult-like following in the north, I suppose the PDP should also go for a southerner with clout that can gain support from the north. But who?

AchalugoNwa:
bro the thing is that we're yet to forgive Amaechi.
Infact we still have grudges for him but in this life you have to adjust.
Amaechi is a SSner
GEJ is a SSner too
but majority of SS supported GEJ against Amaechi choice.
SE supported GEJ too in the spirit of competency and united South.
but SW betrayed the rest of the South.

so if the same SS we supported earlier decides to make Amaechi their candidate, then we SE will throw him 100% support.
that is if he Amaechi calm down.
afterall Amaechi has paid enough penance for his 2015 actions because currently he no longer controls River Apc and political structures unlike before.
also he's the only shinning light in terms of performance in infrastructure in this shambolic government

the slogan remains SE/SS presidency or the north continues.

never will Tinubu or his minions smell that seat

I agree with except that I do not think he has shown remorse for what he did in 2015. This Amaechi guy is one of the politicians I really liked prior to 2015 because I served in Rivers. It still beats me what Jonathan did that made him oppose him so much. The only reason I now support him is that he is clearly competent, intelligent, an Igbo and possibly the only shinning star in this government. I actually hold him to a higher standard because of the error of 2015. If he were a less competent Igbo politician, it would have been different.

In 2015, some of us thought those southerners in APC that sold Jonathan out were the south's worst enemies. At the moment, I wonder why I don't mind an Amaechi presidency. The reason is obvious to me. We Africans are tribal by heritage and I got to realize that even the Jonathan I was fighting for isn't really Igbo. Well...Amaechi is competent and a plus for us Ndigbo. However, the battle isn't over yet. We should get PDP ticket too since it seems that providence is on our side at the APC side.

What colonialism did isn't right. Igbo should have been one nation.

Penguin2:
So you Nigerians are ready to vote any Igbo idiot instead of choosing a reasonable one?

If I asked you who your candidate is among Igbo aspirants, you would say Okorocha or Orji Uzor Kalu.

And if ask your reason, you will say they are “detribalized” and “bridge builders”.

You people would choose bridge building over competence and capacity.

And una say una like Nigeria.

Can't you see that the Nigerians is actually a reflection of what the country is? Are their politicians any different from the people? The way the political class is made of retrogrades is the same thing you would see on the streets of Nigeria where 3 out of 7 people see nothing wrong in what the country is. That's why they're ready to vote in another crook because it is a country of crooked minds that put logic on its head. Seriously, the country doesn't deserve any sensible Igbo. Let's dash them Rochas and Orji Uzor Kalu for size.

WesternOligarch:
It has always been happening but hypocrites only amplify it anytime they want to push their own agenda.

I'll like to see you minify it when it gets to your turn. Then we would know the real hypocrite. You should know that it's just a matter of time.

Between Ndigbo and Nigerians, who need Igbo presidency more? The truth is that Nigeria needs Igbo presidency more than Igbo needs it.
Apart from having functional ports in Calabar, Port Harcourt and Warri, what benefit would Ndigbo get from a presidency?
Nigerians are afraid of what Ndigbo can become with power considering that even without it, no tribe has fared better that Igbo. Just name one tribe that is better off than Igbo despite looting the country for decades while Igbo have been on the sideline.

They're afraid of Ndigbo that would scale ahead on a level playing field. Now could you imagine that what Ndigbo achieved in Biafra 60 years ago such as locally refining crude oil, building warship, war tanks, rockets, airfields, bombs and roads are still mere dream to Nigeria of today.

Some of us do not even want the Igbo presidency thing to happen. An Igbo country is a better deal for Ndigbo than a retrogressive country.

I see...One question please. Between Ndigbo and Nigerians, who need Igbo presidency more?

In the NW and MB, there's active ethnic cleansing. Initially, Nigerians would make noise, especially when the killings numbered up to 70 and 90 in Benue and Southern Kaduna, but today, they no longer care. It is possible that in the next 5 years, the natives of these areas (Southern Kaduna, Plateau and Benue) would become minorities. This could be why the country was created by the British - for the Africans to annihilate one another.

Afonja Now Killing Afonjas for FulaniI just read the story of the Fulani that called for backup in Ogun state. Imagine that it is Afonjas that came to their rescue. The cost of slavery is very high

Preamble:

Skull mining is the art of digging up the remains of the dead just to use their skulls for ritual purposes. In recent times, the term is being used for the art of cutting off the head of the living for the same purpose in Yorubaland.

Ritual killing is the art of killing people, not necessarily for their heads of skulls. This barbarity is probably as old as humankind but has been perpetuated and growing massively in western Nigeria for obvious reasons. The old and the young there seem to mostly believe that the art of magic is a quick tool to wealth.

The Solution

1) A Head Count: This is a bit laborious but absolutely necessary to make sure that every head is accountable and proper inventory of the population (even babies) are made. This is the only way to be sure that more heads aren't getting mined as we speak.

2) 24 Hour Monitoring of All Alfa
These are the henchmen that actually order the hits, kidnaps, mining and beheading. Enough number of law enforcement personnel should be allocated to monitoring these alfas and their madrassa and masalcis to ensure that pre-emptive actions are taken to forestall more murders and grave robbing. This may discourage the footmen and headsmen from their activities.

3) A Regional Reorientation
This is where all the states in the region need to come together and launch a massive campaign in both English and Yoruba to teach the people that human life is more important than food, drinks and cars that they're wasting the lives for. Teach them that the living head they just mined could become a helper to them tomorrow.

4) Temporary Ban On Elections And Installation of New Obas
Very important. All political posts and installations should be suspended, since there is also a correlation between their culture and mining of skulls. These people believe that you have to sacrifice many heads to the devil before he gives you power. No wonder the craze for head hunting has increased prior 2023. At this rate, by 2023, the population of our western brothers would reduce drastically.

Say no to skull mining

Say no to skull mining

Even though I'm 100% positive that none of these men will be president, it is obvious that they're sizing each other in their quest for power. One has a massive war chest while the other is close to power. Imagine what would happen if both are determined to grab the same prize so the question is not a matter of if but when the fight will commence. I think it will be reminiscent of the Abiola-Abacha fight, the Jonathan-Obasanjo fight, the Akintola-Awolowo fight or even the Obasanjo-Atiku's Royal Rumble. In any case, it will be the fight of the year since the first round will commence this 2022.

I like both men for one thing, one is a dogged determined fighter, while the other is a suave operator. Anyway, the main championship fight was between Awolowo and Akintola. Let's hope this won't be a rematch.
If only they can see the future.

Start from where Igbo officers killed Premiers and military officers of other regions to derail the Nigeria project.

They did it to save your stuupid ass and that of the Tiv. Even though you guys turned out betraying Igbo as is naturally in you.

Dont be a hypocrite.Igbos brought all Nigerians under Fulani rule by abolishing regional rule.

Gowon did.

Despite fulani killings in the East,the Igbos will vote Atiku,a descendant of Uthman dan fodio to complete his Fulanization of South East.

They are a known adversary while you're a backstabbing vermin. Someone having you as an ally do not need an enemy.

Peter Obi has never come out to condemn fulani herdsmen killings in the East but Igbos cry everyday on Tinubu’s matter.

Tinubu has condemned the killings in Yorubaland. Where are the cows

If the Igbos truly want to seceed they should start a war in their region like the Tigrays of Ethiopia.They should seek advice from Eritrea and South Sudan.

Nope...we won't. This time, you're to fight the war, since you have already been surrounded from your forests. It's coming to you soon. We know your plan. The first war took you from 3rd class to 2nd class and Igbo from 1st class to oppressed. Karma is waiting in your forests so do not hope that Igbo will go down again for you to see food as you started seeing since 1970. This time Benin Republic will open door well for una.

This time around you guys must not do longer throat on non igbo lands,if not Biafra 1966-70 will be an replay.

Igbo land is enough for us, unless our cousins, the Efiks, Ibibio and Anang decide to join us after referendum. Igbo land is in Benue, Akaw Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Crossriver, Kogi so it is more than enough.

Seek foreign allies to help una quit the Nigerian project.Loosing a war makes you a slave in the nation you fought automatically.Igbos must fight make rematch with the Nigerian govt to seperate successfully.

That won't be necessary after your own war with the bandits waiting for you in your forests.

You dont need loyalty from any nation/tribe in Nigeria.Every nation/tribe will seek the path that benefits its people.Nations make friendship based on similar interests, goals and aspirations.

You just made sense for the first time

Igbos leaving Nigeria will be a celebration day for all Nigerians.

My problem is that your tribe lies a lot. Anyway, every Nigerian is used to it.

There will be no more drug/human trafficking,baby factory,prostitution,fake drugs and beverages,substandard products,scamming customers in the markets,dragging women in the markets,hostility etc.Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Awwwww... but skull mining, ritual killing, yahoo plus, witchcraft, beheading and occult practices will boom in your region na

A visa will be imposed on all Igbos who want to stay in Nigeria for $1,500 and a surety of N1,000,000.

Wanna discourage us? Thought there'll be celebration? At least the Igbo visa fees will change all the brown roofs to modern cities like in SE and SS...And your hunger will end.

Well done but you don't need a marble flooring the money could have been used wisely.

stonemasonn:
I worry about your IQ. The south west is the only region currently that can survive without oil and gas.

You're actually lying and you know it. The taste of the pudding is in the eating. You only need to look at typical Yoruba states (not Lagos) to understand that you guys have nothing to offer. In fact, you are the LEAST productive region in Nigeria. I laughed when one of you said that you contribute cocoa and human resources to Nigeria. No wonder you people even oppose Biafra more than Fulani. Just look at Igbos. The most corrupt ridden Igbo state is Abia, yet you'll see good houses and immense urbanization due to the natural flair for the Igbo to be industrious. This is a state that have corrupt governor that offered nothing. Yet in your Yoruba states, even in 2022, you're still battling with brown roofs of 50s.

Oghene1st:
You failed to realise that the most useless region in Nigeria is the South West, and the least useless is South East.

The North is useful in agriculture. They produce majority of the agric products consumed in Nigeria. Food sufficiency is very important in an economy.

The South South is useful with Oil and Gas in high volume which is the major source of income for Nigeria.

But what can you say of the West and East?

You stylishly mentioned sea coast and cocoa to make the West relevant but forgot that the sea port there was constructed by the federation with money earned from the whole of the federation, it is not owned by South West. Cocoa is 90% extinct. How much are we making from the cocoa? How is cocoa relevant to the common man?

Southeast is not that completely useless like the South West. The East has high concentration of gas. Both are source of good revenue for the country.

So the most usesless region in Nigeria is South West.

From an humble South Southerner.

You are among the very few wise people I have seen on this forum. These Yorubas here are experts in peddling lies to deceive even themselves. Even the blind knows that they are the least productive region. That is why they are always backing Fulani against the south and especially Igbo interest. They're aware that without SE and SS, they're gone. A people that are not even capable of developing any state in their region would always say SE is "useless". I have been waiting to see anyone with sense that is not an Igbo counter them. Go to all the regions in the south, you'll see capitals that are well developed except in their region where 1940 brown roofs still exist. I think their problem is that they never travel except to Lagos,

Karma is real..

You reap what you sow..

2014/15

Yoruba people were doing same all over social media

But why Yoruba don like taking what they freely give others

You insult others calling them names and then tagging them being emotional ..
They do same to a Yoruba man .. he will cry and complain like you’ve done the worst on earth

Make una wake up..

Years of propaganda is heavily catching up on Yoruba people

And e never even start

Wait till next generation of igbos .. this generation just the take an easy and don’t even sen Yoruba people

A generation that will have time for Yoruba in igboland is coming and may witness the first real fight between both

Nigerians are yet to dish them what they did to Jonathan in 2015 and they're already weeping like babies. Wait until any one from that Afonjaland gets nomination first. They must get payback for 2015.

johnmartus:
Hardly you will see Yoruba poke nose or utter any statement about you people. How many topic created since David umahi, kalu and Ayim PiusAyim declared for president? Since Bola AhmedTinubu declared for president you people have been having sleeplessnights over Tinubu.

Painting Yoruba bad in all social media calling for others tribes to stand against Yoruba people.

Igbo are tired of having thieving politicians preside. That is why you see them condemn crooked Igbo past governors but to Yoruba, a thief should be made a king. Is that how it is in your place traditionally?

How are we sure that Nembe is even Ijaw the way you people are claiming all the tribes on the Delta? Who would have known that president Jonathan isn't even Ijaw?

Investigative:
Miyetti allah have increased their attack in south west after endorsing tinubu
The endorsement was a Greek gift to shut up while they kill
Benue loading in south west

Very correct. That's exactly what happened to Ebonyi after Umahi joined APC. They gift you one or you draw them close and the consequence is death and more death in your domain. Ortom realized it late and jumped out of APC but they were already entrenched in Benue. Before 2023, the carrot of presidency would buy bloodbath for those who are lured by it in Yoruba land.By election time, hopefully some would be left to actually vote.

Bingo!

Abdulkadir, who was evicted from his Igangan residence, said he opposes Igboho’s release due to his daring nature.

A one-eyed man in the land of the blind.
Igboho the warrior
A pity your people know not your value, but maybe, just maybe, they'll soon regret betraying you.

Tinubu's popularity is growing on daily basis,thanks to haters, what they fail to realise is that nobody even cares if their(pdp) candidate even exist

No be only popularity, Even laritypopo

ChangetheChange:
End of Discussion, Since Thief-nubu says he wants to continue with Buhari suffering, poverty and recession policies... Nigerians say big NO to him

You didn't calculate it well. I mean the mudu of rice

Under Jonathan - 400
Under Buhari - 1600
If they try Tinubu- 24,000

If they doubt, make them try

Seconded....power stays in the north. They have not completed their term since Yaradua died. Power to SE/SS or power to the north.
