This election has proved it that Igbos are coward..

Deep down their heart, they're not happy SS voted for tinubu, but they don't have such gut to call them out for betrayals. This is why they're calling out only wike, just to use him as bait..




You lied SS no vote BOLA




Bayelsa
Akwa Ibom
Rivers
Delta

All voted for tinubu. So ask yourself, why Wike?

The other day, a pastor from SS origin told the Igbos in Lagos to leave. They couldn’t face him, it was yoruba they’re calling names

Despite that SS is nearer to SE, the Igbos have never for once called Delta a No Man's land. Why? It is because the Niger delta didn't give them such liberty..

Kano, just like Lagos is filled with all Nigerians. The Igbos for once have never called Kano a No man's land. Why? It is because northerners didn't give them such liberty..

The west is the only region that gave Igbos much liberty and this is why the west is the only region they're showing Shege. Had it been we placed them where they belong eversince, all of these wouldn't be happening..

I'm sure if Tinubu is from the SS, lord knows Igbos can't say a word!

Modified: To those quoting me, I never said tinubu won all the states I mentioned. I only said they voted for him.

oyin44:
Yoruba people that voted for tinubu would come out and fight for an ordinary ibo man..


Obi has disgraced himself and he will never come back into politics again..


Yoruba fight for an obi man l laugh in chinese

He's telling you it's long gone, giving to Atiku
I think so too. Hmmmn

blabulu2000:
BOOM 💥

When i see some Yorubas that hate Tinubu i just Laugh they forgot that he brought YORUBA back into the game of politics when we have already lost our space in in this democratic era after Obasanjo sold us out without looking back!!!

The PDP (2011-2015) didn't have a single yoruba person in the top 8 political positions of Nigeria

1. GEJ- President
2. Sambo- VP
3. David Mark- SP
4. Ekweremadu- DSP
5. Tambuwal- Speaker
6. Ihedioha- Dep. Speaker
7. Katsina-Ala - CJN
8.Anyim Pius -SGF

Tinubu brought us back into the game and now we are back in the top 8 , and we currently have OSINBAJO & GBAJABIAMILA in top 4, 2023 is also our chance to rule this great country but some of us are lost

Moh247:
Your question would be answered soon Feb 25 and you shall understand exactly why no Ibo man has become President since 60s no Vice or Speaker since 70s no Senate President since 2007

You people always want to learn the hard way




Oga answer the question, you started it. Pls tell us



.

Obaofaba:
Shut up and stop being clever by half.

Atiku rose on PDP established structure in the south and not Obi.

Obi wasn't known to many southerners until Atiku brought him up and polished him.

OkutaNla:
Ndigbo.. while forming 'Ndi-Obidients' on sovial media, na una region get lowest voters strength in Nigeria. The video below shows that you people are just empty vessels making nonsense noise without PVC.

Hendrixky:
Hmmmm
It makes sense
Since all those who believe in that imaginary God won't allow us rest

Lets also have those who believe in this imaginary devil...they should grow in numbers and blossom

Then maybe later in the future humans will be smart enough to know that this two imaginary
God and Devil don't exist....



How come you exist.

Ojiofor:
He is a former head of state and a 2 term persİdent.He is the greatest of all of time (GOAT).

kingmaster2009:
Obi is the first culprit.


An idol worship claiming to be a Christian...

Because he is campaigning for votes ..he kept on going to different church programs to which he wasn't invited...

The basis of his campaign is the tribal and religious sentiment...

Can you Imagine...someone that wants to be the president of different tribes.and religion ....

How has he been able to gather both the Christian and. Muslim communities together to sell his.manifesto....


Nyamiri agenda will fail in this coming election

Abdul05:
Obi won't be an exception.



The fool is now running from one church to another like street rat....

Pakute:
Anyone who practices a Christian/Christian ticket in his state but come in the public to condemn a MM ticket, such a person is an hypocrite.

What is he afraid of.
#Twitter Activist. Oniyeye

Throwback:
It is acceptable to me as a Christian who has watched Tinubu lead a state without rancour between Muslims and Christians.

A state where Nigerians that are non-yoruba can grow in the civil service without fear of sack due to tribal or state origins.

If any candidate can boast of such besides Tinubu, let him show us the proof.

We will certainly go and verify.

Jack500:
He should keep visiting everybody even to Biden.


Peter obi will never rule Nigeria. No useless 5% Ipob lunatics will rule Nigeria.

They called Nigeria zoo, but because one of their fellow Ipob is on the ballot, Nigeria is now their darling, Nigerian will rather end than being rule by 5% swine.


Obi is a National movement

No pigs Should quote me if you don't want to be destroye by thunder

KingKO22:
The CAN party are becoming unbecoming by the day

They have forgotten about Christianity but fully engaged in politics just bcs what they want to chop


What's painful is how gullible Obituarists are glorifying the CAN.

CAN should tell use who their candidate is anf canvass for them but they need to stop this pathetic witch hunting

Totilopussylick:
I had a dream that Peter obi is not going to win the next presidential elections in Nigeria


Atiku is the next president of federal republic of Nigeria.

Obidients group should "mark" today as the day they were told the truth.

That's not the the Truth. Atiku is not in the contest. Never

LiveWithIt:
e don dey clear for their eyes..
Division in the camp of the enemy..

God of APC is at work
Waiting to put the enemies to a massive shame publicly

THIS WON'T GO ON FOREVER.

ISRAEL IS TAKING A LOAN IT WILL PAY BACK ONE DAY.

THE PALESTINIAN MUSLIMS WILL NEVER FORGET.

Philipponzaghi:
Nonsense statement. This is more about tribes then mere geographical expression of NC.

So of all the majority Christians of the Middlebelt, CAN can only make use of a Yoruba man as the president and you are justifying that?
