Abagworo: the north wan come use our head again.dem wan claim say after 2015 na their turn.i just dey pity those behind dis becos after 2015',another southerner go succeed GJ
Obj is the best president weve had so far and has done pretty ok for someone who only has the experience of military and farmer.
scale from 1-10 objs term was 6 not great but fairly OK in comparison to other adminstrations before him. but Nigeria will have even better than obj in the future.
~Bluetooth: I dont think so.bankole has obj's support and right now,those members are interested in getting a return ticket;so they wont do anything that would jeopardise that.
Naw - the guy isnt in the Obj's camp- He fumbled big time by not following the Senates decision to give jonathan powers- . When jonathan became acting president, bankole switched sides. His mistake was not thinking that Jonathan could be president.
He should go for being dumb! Hes too arrogant and should have known in Nigeria you have to be intelligent and act docile.
I said that if jonathan becomes presido in 2011 power will return bck to the north in 2015. and its wiser for the north to make Jonathan presido in 2011. In 2015 the north will have 8 FULL YEARS! which cuts the SS term in zoning.
hollandis: I know you both are Hausas/Northerners and you will forever put ''your own'' in good light.Please kindly remove all IBB related threads for the love of God.This was a man that killed and Annuled the freest and fairest election that this country will ever have.IBB is a corrupt man ,a killer,murderer and thief.He is also a wife snatcher.He should not be recognised.We are youths and if the newspapers and magazines have been paid to praise sing him.Lets not be blind.The future is ours.
hmmmm is that soooo . . . .
Onlytruth: Like I keep saying over and over again, the Igbo are NOT interested in whether SATAN himself is the president of Nigeria. There is no gentleman inside the jungle. You have to count one before counting two.
Onlytruth: As long as that SATAN delivers on his promise to us, we will support him. Nigeria is worse than hell. If IBB allows us to chose our leaders (something Obasanjo denied us) we will vote for him.
006: I have the opinion that IBB/Soludo ticket would be massive, and a true game changer. No other ticket can rival the two. In fact, it will be a marriage made in heaven!
MandingoII: I just seen that chump on CNN, avoiding questions He said Nigeria's BIGGEST problem was electricity/power I disagree, nigeria's biggest problem is getting that OIL money to SERVE the people of Nigeria.
if he was hausa everybody would be saying other wise Nigerians are sooo tribalistic. lol
sjeezy8: Attackers blow up Goodluck Jonathan's home Written by The Associated Press Wednesday, 16 May 2007 06:29 Attackers blow up country home of Nigeria's president elect
The Associated Press Wednesday, May 16, 2007 YENAGOA, Nigeria: Unknown attackers destroyed the country home of Nigeria's vice president-elect, Goodluck Jonathan, with dynamite on Wednesday and blew up a nearby police station, killing one officer, officials said. The attacks came before dawn in oil-rich southern Bayelsa state, where Jonathan is currently governor, said the region's police chief, Julian Okpalake.
He said there were no immediate reports of casualties in the attack on Jonathan's home, which is not his primary residence.
Official results from Nigeria's April 21 presidential elections showed the ruling party candidates, Jonathan and President-elect Umaru Yar'Adua, the landslide winners.
But the opposition says the vote was rigged and international observers called the election deeply flawed, characterized by ballot-box stuffing and illegal acts by electoral officials.
In some regions, particularly in the oil-rich, southern Niger Delta region that includes Bayelsa state, the ruling party was announced the runaway winner in areas where no voting actually took place, observers say.
lol Nigerians are funny people 2 years ago he was a crook like yardua and Obj now hes the Messiah.
redsun: It is just mostly religious propaganda on the side of america,there is nothing different about nigerian goverment,it still the same pdp criminal agendas of looting and covering up criminals.
no doubt goodluck is a crminal but . . . hes ijaw so i guess his crminality is lesser lol
Katsumoto: Wouldn't it be better to just have a visionary leader rather than just an incompetent looter? That way, a majority of Nigerians can have a better life. That things have been bad in the last 50 fifty years should not stop us from working for a better tomorrow. You need to get rid of this 'jeun soke' mentality. There is more to life than being the son of a man who is a friend to a looter. Karma is a naughty woman and it always strikes.
Visionary leader? as of right thats not what Nigerians want, they want a guy from their region. So lets give it to them.
Whats the big deal? Ojuwku and biafra guys can support IBB but i cant? Why not?

@ Katsumoto Lets just give IBB support he seems like the visionary leader you talk about- but to bad his vision doesnt help the current political climate in naija- IBB wants free and fair elections, federalism, no zoning or quotas- he sounds good.
6. Igbos are republicans and they usually do not listen to any particular political leader for any reason whatsoever. But in Ojukwu for once in its history the Igbos have come to respect, cherish and applaud this man for his principled stand in defense of his people even when he risked all his father had considering the fact that his father was the first millionaire in the region and any war would affect his wealth more than any other person but he saw the need to protect and defend his people as more important task when compared to defending his wealth as a lot of our politicians do today.
7. For those that brag about producing the presidents and vice presidents since after the war my questions are
a) Why is that the South East has the lowest poverty index in Nigeria? b) Why is it that the South East (according to JAMB statistics) leads other regions in enrollment into our higher institutions in spite of the typical "Igbos are traders" mantra?
I dont anyone who brags about having a president from their region its only SE'rs who are crying to be president or VP. When Obasanjo became president he didnt do anything for yorubas- IT GOT WORSE and when Buhari was president he didnt do anything for fulanis-hausa same wit yaradua and co.
Infact when a president or vice president emerges from ones region- its as if they are worse off then before.
I am a nationalist I think its better to vote a SE'r for president or vice on the PDP platform so corruption and elitism can make its way into the East No more Biafra, no more Apga and no more complaints of marginalization.- All regions can be corrupt together and no one can complain about any tribalism.
lol you compare Obj to Soludo- Obj was basically handpicked by Ooni of ife you make no sense because Obasanjo didnt contest to be govenor nor did he lose any election and - he ran for president
debosky: IBB's chief bootlicker and apologist returns with a bang - why am I not surprised?
By your sycophancy I'm sure you'll get a few of the stolen crumbs from the IBB table - I hope that is sufficient to buy your debased conscience.
hm kosovo
@ post if nigeria break up fine if not fine, if ibb becomes presido fine if not fine. e no matta All those that want Nigeria to break up should start civil war.
^^ im not a cancer im a libra- thank you very much
and I said I dont want IBB to be president but if he does its no blow to yorubas as some think.- my point being someone voting for IBB just to spite yorubas can never work. Because yorubas people are not the type of people you group together they will always be on all sides.
so if these clown support ibb to spite yorubas - they will be dissapointed with the outcome.
and my uncle is a legit business man with igbo connects, hausas, ijaw so he cannot lose- hes not a tribalist and holds no ethnic sentiment about Mko and co. . .
~Bluetooth: @sjeezy80--NOPE NOPE NOPE.ibb is a virus to nigeria!!!
Thank you jare
006: Did I mention his VP or where he should come from when I said I'd vote for him?
You're a pathetic tribalist. Just vaporize!
lol lemmi find you post about yorubas and IBB becoming president hold on
006: It's funny how these Yorubas are panicking because IBB said he would run. Where were you Yorubas when OBJ contested? Crasy tribalists!
Yorubas are just bitter IBB annulled June 12 election and that is just it. No good intentions for the nation; they are just concerned about themselves since they all prefer a devil from yorubaland to an angel from another. So they should just keep their mouths shut this time
Onlytruth: So who told you that he is not doing the Igbo agenda by backing IBB? Let me tell you, there can only be few leaders while the crowd follows. If you want to know where the Igbo stand in Nigeria, you better start looking at the Ojukwus. IBB may be your enemy and nemesis, but he is our friend.
please vote for him thats my uncles close friends na hook up for me.
Eziachi: @Cap28,
Forget about my hero or Onlytruth'd hero, I have challenged you to name your Yoruba hero and let us talk about him/her, you will never know, you could finally open our blinded eyes. If you can't do that, then just go to sleep. It is time to put up or shut up. Lets hear if from you. Who is your Yoruba leader? You insulted Ojukwu because you said that he endorsed IBB's political ambition and then I told you that IBB announced his ambition at the heart of Yoruba land with Yorubas as his host/Guest, including your brother/governor Daniel in attendance, but you kept silent and your silent now in that regard is deafening. HYPOCRITE.
yea no one should abuse ojukwu because he backed IBB. There many yoruba who want IBB to be president also
IBB is not considered any enemy of the yoruba and neither is ojukwu because yorubas have no enemy. They are people do politics not based on ethnic sentiments but self interest individually.
Onlytruth: So who told you that he is not doing the Igbo agenda by backing IBB? Let me tell you, there can only be few leaders while the crowd follows. If you want to know where the Igbo stand in Nigeria, you better start looking at the Ojukwus. IBB may be your enemy and nemesis, but he is our friend.
IBB is not anyones enemy except poor people. Cause Elite yoruba will vote him over anyone in a second if it benefits them.
If I was selfish I would say jonathan should forget about 2011. Cause honestly IBB as president is good for me. Infact my uncles dislike Obasanjo and are close with IBB. what makes him an enemy to yorubas? Yorubas like me dont have enemy only connections.
[size=13pt]Oyinlola Eyes VP Seat Under IBB[/size]
Fresh facts have emerged on the latest moves of the embattled Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola to scheme for the post of vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party come 2011 polls.
According to an investigation conducted by OSUN DEFENDER, the protracted illness of President Umar Yar’Adua, which has altered the political permutation at the Presidency seemed to have pushed Oyinlola into his new scheme. OSUN DEFENDER has authoritatively learnt that the controversial Osun State Chief executive has begun shuttling between the former Military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida’s (retired) home and the immediate past President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Otta Farm over his ambition.
It was learnt that the governor has since lost interest in the senatorial bid he initially contemplated when the PDP’s shopping for vice presidential candidate who may pair with a Northern presidential candidate began.
Information has it that the Okuku-born retired Brigadier-General has begun to position himself for the job of the second citizen in the federation, should the position is finally zoned to the South-West. ____________________________________________________________________
[size=13pt]IBB’s Campaign Posters Flood Oyinlola’s Home Town, Okuku[/size]
It is no longer news that the embattled Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State has been jostling to be the running mate of former Military President of Nigeria, General Ibrahim Babangida, should the latter shows interest in contesting the 2011 presidential election.
According to investigation, some sets of people within the fold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the council area have been paid to ensure the spread of the posters into the nooks and crannies of the area.
The posters, which are in different colours have littered the hometown of Oyinlola.
OSUN DEFENDER gathered that the posters were pasted at night.
At the Okuku Day celebrated last Saturday, the posters and pictures of IBB flooded the venue of the programme, just as some people wore T-Shirt with the inscription of “IBB for President”.
Onlytruth guy- I told you yoruba people have no enemies- some want him(IBB) or another northerner to be president because they know that the VP will be zoned to the SW. IF i was a tribalist and selfishly greedy- I would support IBB or Gasau but im not
cap28: dede1, onlytruth, metal gong- do you see what im telling you about your hero - have you heard that he has now come out to endorse IBB for the 2011 presidency, you guys need to wake up and understand that this man is a traitor to igbo people.
metal-gong: Of course Secesssion! This is because we are well endowed in all facets of life and also we don't need to be carrying the cross of parasitic yorubas .
As ONLYTHRUTH had said, the present Igbo generation wont be charitable to you Yoruba people as Ojukwu and our forefathers did.
^^ what forefathers? other than Zik and Ojukwu ( the village idiot) there was nothing you guys did for anyone. Please feel free to name any prominent and respectable igbos before Zik? . . .
Zik is like the first known igboman and he raised amongst hausas and yorubas.
The good yorubas among us will continue not be tribalistic and reach our hands to you -we have has Herbert macauley Ziks mentor, Ajayi crowther and Henry townsend who educated igbos, Wole Soyinka who was put in jail for protestin aganst the biafran war, and Fela who address issues of the Biafran war through music and Gani who challenged the ruling military junta for excluding Ndigbo during Abachas regime.
My brother please stop wasting your time with KATSUMOTO, CAP, SLEEDZY and their fellow yoruba cowards. These Yoruba men are just wimps, loudmouthed parrots and jealous parasites that have nothing to offer their neighbours in any form of union.
what does the East have to offer anyone? lol hopes of secession
Onlytruth: Actually I'm still only in my 100 levels of the Hate school. Your people as of today are at the 300 levels, but I'm sure to catch up and surpass them like in other areas of Nigerian life since after the war. Igbo always catch up.
I can see that youre mentally unstable
Onlytruth: This is where you people are completely wrong. The West was in no position to make "maneuvers" of any kind. The Yoruba was under-represented in the military (I'd say out of cowardice). Ojukwu tried to help balance this by demanding a balance which would have benefitted the whole country and make Easterners feel safer in Nigeria. Your people cowered out. On top of that when you joined, you started fighting the same man who tried to save you.
Please leave the so called external forces out of this thread. External forces did not steal $300 billion between 1970 and today. Your people and Hausa did.
Intellectually the West is far above other zones . Military strength isnt everything. Military strength is only needed in militray governements. In a free and fair democractic election the winner would most likely be from the West time and time again. the north and west are just using Zoning to have mercy on SE and SS folks-
A democractic Nigeria was built for westereners- they cannot lose in it.
Onlytruth: Why did he insist that Yorubas should meet their quota in the military? Because he knew that igbo officers can fall under northern domination- which happend.
What could he have lost if he sold his people and bowed to Gowon? What is the meaning of selling his people? Awolowo didnt opt to secede and yorubas kno he didnt sell them.
Why did he demand that northern troops leave Yorubaland? Because he feared northern dominance in the army.
more questions are coming after you've answered these. . .
Now answer my question
Why did Obasanjo apoint the highest amount of igbo in his adminstration?
Why did Obasanjo want Soludo to be VP and the presidency zoned to the SE in 2015?
Why does Obasanjo have different igbo ladies as baby mothers?
Why did Zik opt to stay in Nigeria and not leave when Awolowo said they should seperate from the north?
