Eddygourdo:
ok. You cannot school me though. You aren't qualified sir. And that part that be publicly proven with a Google search.

Can you define "Schooling".

You want me to check you out on google abi because you have all the first, second, third degrees in the world plus all the professional certificates, abi. Is that because you been all over the world and we'll travelled or.....

What exactly makes you think a little baby born a year ago can't school you?

Laugh wan kill me here. You are so ignorant, my Igbo brother or antagonist, whatever you choose.

OsunOriginal:
He doesn't know what he is saying. Making yourself a political liability at the national level by not playing politics the right way doesn't mean you're not interested in politics.

He is simply ignorant and he thinks he is informed.

Eddygourdo:
in your hurry to respond, you didn't read. Mr yoruba read, it is in fine print, So that you don't respond ignorantly to something I already answered ( see bold). Since you didn't respond on what your political sagaciousness has benefited the south west for all the years you have played it, and you are still as backward as the south east that doesn't know how to play it, can we now agree that you are the problem of Nigeria? If not for anything your being the problem comes from your lack of awareness in your abilities and the benefits it accrues to you.

It is hopeless trying to school you. Continue to see Southwest and Yorubas as your problem; who cares?

Enjoy your ignorance.

Eddygourdo:
good answer. Unfortunately you have missed the point of my submission. The igbo have absolutely no interest in politics, however we must do it as part of a nation. No real igbo person compliant about not being in goverment, because our way of life means every igbo person strives to be his own president , governor and minister. However we are still dependent on the dividends of the common good. Eg job creation, security, good infrastructure etc. There is next to no federal presence in the south east but we are surviving. Not every igbo person is a trader or business person. To.handle that diversity is why we want nigeria to work. Evidence we are at the bottom of politics is because we don't care for it , for things we care for, we are at the top in this nation and many parts of the world. Whether good or bad things.

Now to your submission. You can play politics, you know how to do it for your good, how come the south west is a slum. How come the south west isn't London. What has your skill in politics done for the benefit of the south west. I have been to every major town in south west, I know the level of decadence there, take note this level of decadence is also in the south east. But it is understandable for the south east. We are at the bottom of politics, but to you , you are good at it, where is the impact of being good at it for all the years you played it.

I have been to the North, from Central, to west and east, I know what these people get from the federal government freely. Even hinterlands with little to no vehicular traffic is tarred , 24 hrs light and with federal government benefit everywhere. Yet you assume you know how to play politics ? .

You are only pawns in the hands of the north. They will use you and dump you. Just as they will do to tinubu soon. He will learn what we have known for over 50 years.

Yoruba should wake up and smell the coffee. Your politics you think you play is a mirage. You are seen as an infidel like every other southern person from east to south to middle belt. Soon your eyes will clear and you will read this post again and remember me. 2023 is not far, you will learn the hard way the people you dine with.

Take note that majority of igbos are doing what the love to do best, we in all part ls of Nigeria, buying and selling and doing our business. Its only unfortunate that when we have to drive our million naira cars, it has to be on bad roads, we have to use alot of our profit to secure ourselves and pay for light we didn't use and when we train our children in universities, they have no job. If not for this, even a goat can be president and an igbo man would care less.

The statement in bold letters is the reason you are being played.

"Igbos are not interested in politics"? Are you serious at all. Why do you have Governors, House of representatives members in state and at National level, Local Govt Chairmen, Senators and others. Why is Obi contesting for presidency? Why were you pressure groups demanding all party to present Igbo man as presidential candidate before the emergence of the flag bearers. If you will forget everything I have schooled you here, please don't ever forget this: every one is involved in politics, actively or passively, one way or another. The political skills, maturity and sagacity is the difference between everyone.

Is there any region in Nigeria where there is no slum, including your South East? Is there no slum in USA, UK and Canada and others? Is there any part of the world where there is no slum?

Mr Igbo, up your political game and stop being ignorant. You need to mature into fine and sagacious politician to get the best out of Nigeria. Imagine the knowledge, attributes and skills that you have combined with advanced and refined political prowess. I can bet you will not be here lamenting about the Southwest.

Eddygourdo:
good , since you sound reasonable to engage, I will engage you.

As a yoruba man, can you tell me what your issues are with an igbo man. Why do you have trepidation at an igbo man. The yoruba and igbo have lived together for years without a tribal or religious crisis all the years. Igbo villages are inhabited by yoruba and yoruba villages are inhabited by igbos. Now I ask again what are your issues with an igbo man.

The civil war was mainly between the igbo and the North, the yoruba fought in it by association , even though they were instrumental in the defeat of igbos, the enemy of the igbo was the north. Post war, it can be understood why the north feels anger against the igbo, what will be the reason of the yoruba.

Now let's come to Nigeria and why yoruba are the issue. The NORTH is the problem of Nigeria. The poor north, the arid north, the backward north, the murderous north, the religious hypocritical north, and they have for years banked on the unwarranted beef the yoruba have with the igbos to Foster disunity amongst us furthering their grip on power.

A yoruba muslim isn't regarded as a Muslim in the north, a yoruba Christian is called an infidel, the entire South comprising of igbo , yoruba and other tribes have long had to go and kneel down to the north to get any form of power or say in government. How do we stay in a country where the south with all the education, wealth, knowledge and experience have to beg the backward north for power. How can the people with eyes be subservient to people who are blind.

The south has failed to become great because of the yoruba. This is why they are the source of Nigeria problems. The south of Nigeria who should be calling the shots cannot do that because the yoruba time and time again betray the entire south for personal gains in the name of politics.

2023 election Has proven again how the yoruba will do anything even risking the unity of the nation for personal gains. That is not politics, it cannot be politics when there isn't fairness or unity.

The solution to Nigeria is a United south against the Real enemy of Nigeria (north). But the north know the yoruba will continue to betray their brothers and use them as willful pun for their evil schemes.

So when I say yoruba are this problem, it is not because I hate the yoruba. I live with them, I work with them, but they have continually betrayed everyone , stopping the southern part of Nigeria from taking their place as the power brokers of the nation. We have everything in the south even to be an independent nation. Tell me one reason to go to abuja and kneel down in Katsina and Kano.

Permit me to respond:

The Yoruba man has no significant issue with the Igbo man, though we are different in nature and culture but we can't change that and it shouldn't stop us from coexistence; the world is big enough for all of us. However, if you have an issue with the Yoruba man, please spill it. Let us hear it.

I don't want to talk about the civil war, based on my understanding of the history, it was instigated by some people's selfish and overbearing motives and we all saw the result - anguish, genocide, mass murder, annihilation and decimation of an entire South East region. The wounds are still healing today and we see the scars on the South East people. Your generation didn't experience the war and that is why you can make bold demand and chants of war today.

Every region of Nigeria has their strength and weakness, no one is perfect however, we made a conscious decision to coexist and progress together or as a region but if any region feels the need to separate from the republic of Nigeria, please do so in peace and don't repeat another Biafra wasteful and futile struggle.

We don't see the North, South South and South East as our enemy. We see them as fellow Nigerians. We play politics with them, strategize and plan with them for a better Nigeria and particularly, a better South West. If you are poor at playing politics and you always believe in chest-beating and forcing your position on others and blackmailing others to submit to your will, then that is your own problem.

We betray no one, we don't even see you as anyone to betray because you are already individualistic and independent in nature so why would someone reasonable want to betray or bother about you. We learn some worthy things, especially business and industrious traits, from you but we have no time to hate or bother about you.

Life is too short to hate or bother about you!

Eddygourdo:
so it is by significance of support ? And there is significant support for the ipob ? And you came to that conclusion based on what premise. Oh....so the people who died during the biafran war were victims of political assassinations. Wow. This discussion is truly inspiring .

Oh...so you agree that some things cuts across the entire nation, your earlier submission insisted it is only in the south east.

How do we know that they weren't done by ondo people or the amotekun, because if such happened in the east you ascribe It to the igbo or ipob not the fulani or bandits you quickly ascribed the owo killings to.

Oga my point to you has not yet been taken. You are still in the denial phase and blame trading phase. You know what I am talking about , when I say the south west are the problem of Nigeria.

Mr Igbo,

There is no support for Yoruba nation in the South West. We are Nigerians and we are so proud to be Nigerians; we will always be Nigerians.

Biafra war was a political struggle, go back to your history notes and come back for another talk on it.

The world knows that Ondo people don't kill in church, in mass and wickedly in that manner. Amotekun has been more productive and efficient in protecting the people of South West extracts and your people in South West than your IPOB, unknown gunmen and Ebubeagwu (whatever you call it).

South West has her own problems but you South Eastern people are the least of our problems. We are not even bothered by you, we can tolerate you but not your threats of war. If you want to leave Nigeria, please leave in peace by getting your Senators, Representatives, Governors, Kings and prominent people to move for a referendum and peaceful separation. We don't have to coexist but we don't want to go to war with you on that trivial matter.

We know our problems and we are working to solve the problems everyday.

You should learn to identify your problems, your people are the major problem of the South East, and endeavour to solve your problems. Stop focussing on South West, we are not your problem; we are not even bothered.

Eddygourdo:
all that doesn't change the fact that the south west are the problems of current Nigeria. Everything you mentioned exist in the south west. Don't we have agitations in the south west ? The latest killing of people in a church occurred in the south west, the south west has been long known for political assassinations, rituals and debased human parts consumption are prevalent in the south west and many more. However that is not the reason the south west is the problem of Nigeria. Your points are also not the reason the south east is the problem of Nigeria.

You should have asked me why we all know the south west as betrayers of the south, you should have asked me why all blames as to why Nigeria is a failed state can be placed at the foot of the south west .

Mind you on the points you raised there is a cause for it. There is also an easy solution as well, but everyone wants another war and the south east isn't yet ready for that

Now there you go: your sentiments exactly in bold there.

However, when you say "everyone wants war"; you are wrong. The only war chanting people in Nigeria are Igbos - South East; you want to go to war against the nation.

The other war mongers are terrorists and bandicts. Maybe you wanna be like them and the world is beginning to acknowledge your terrorist tendencies hence the designation of IPOB as terrorist group.

Having said that, I need to address your points:

Mention the agitators in the South West? Who are the follower? Do you see significant support from the South West people for such agitation. South West promotes unity and nationalism not sectional and separatist views like yours.

The recent killing of people in a Catholic Church in Owo was not perpetuated by Ondo people or South West people. It was a terrorist act either by Boko Haram, ISWAP, Bandicts, Criminals or better still your unknown gunmen from the South East. Owo, like Ondo and South West, is relatively a peaceful town unlike your South East.

Have you taken time to check list of areas of Nigeria foreign nationals are advised not to visit in recent times? You will not see South West featured. Lagos is relatively safer than South East and even Abuja in recent times. That is why your people that you are kidnapping, maiming, killing, extorting and oppressing are running to states like Lagos, Ogun and Oyo; they feel at home there.

Ritual killings and acts cuts across the entire nation. We know there are cultists every where in Nigeria, particularly South East.

Political assassination: How many of your people died during Biafra war? How many of your people are killed on Mondays when your IPOB insists sit-at-home? How many of your people have been killed by your unknown gunmen? Are these not political assassinations?

I insist that you look into the mirror and see your problem: South eastern people are the problem of South East, not the South West you seriously want to drag into your problem.

You can keep hating anyway, South Western people have got no time to waste on you.

coolxpaul:
Nollywood actor Aguba who was recently rescued by OPM Pastor Chibuzor had told the preacher that he can only marry a virgin from Isreal.

This is coming on the heels of the public notice that a wife is needed urgently for the actor.

Aguba who appears to be unhinged rejected a widow who agreed to be his wife and have his children and insists that he wants an European virgin instead.

The preacher however has promised to send him to rehabilitation.

Poverty don dey affect this man's sense of reasoning. Virgin from Israel? Eni ti a n tori e gba awe ti o tun je osan.

Person wey people wan save from poverty wey wan kill am!

Eddygourdo:
truth is fact sir. Its is objective fact. What is true cannot be untrue in any other situation.

When you are ready to tell yourself the truth it will be with conviction.

The south west are the problems plaguing this nation. It has been Said in many spaces and everyone in the south knows that. Know this and have peace.

Is the South West as troubled as your South East as we speak?


In the last 7 years, your South East has been plagued with:
1. Your people committing treasonable offences against Nigeria.
2. Attacking and killing armed forces members, including those from South East too.
3. Kidnapping, extorting and maiming people, including your people, that are rich and wealthy.
4. Your people even attacked a notable senator abroad because he held nationalism view as against your sectional or biafra view.
5. Most of your rich and wealthy are currently afraid to visit your South East because you prey on them.
6. You have little regard for human lives and pride yourself as unknown gunmen.

These are few of the strife, challenges and problems bedeviling your South East and you dare to come out here to claim South West is your problem.

I hope you can be objective, altruistic and realistic sometimes to critically assess your situation and realize that you can't keep blaming other people for your problems.

The first step to resolve your problem is to see yourself as the problem and start a process of change and reorientation. Disabuse your mind!

Eddygourdo:
the truth hurts abi. I must speak it sir.

What is true to you may not be true to others. That could only be your personal opinion and you are very entitled to your opinion.

How can your personal opinion be a source of hurt to me?

OyeofIkoTuN:
I'm not from benue ,so why should I sell gala...

You can find us in Alaba, ladipo, computer village ofcourse way richer than your irrelevant likes ,we don't share the same mindset with refugees..

We Harbour your indigenes as tenants in your own land... so wail from now till next year...you cannot change status quo

But your people cannot stop selling Agbo in the east

Agbo is good for you and the fact that you own houses and investments in other parts of the country particularly Lagos and Abuja is an evidence of hospitality from the other regions but what is the story with your region:

You are very hostile to other people and tribe owning properties or major investments in your South East. You only prefer they do menial jobs and agbo for you and that is what they are selling.

emee701:
Dont mind those clowns. The same se voted atiku instead of ikwerre wike. If they so much want christian president, they should have supported wike, both se and ss

Kindly help me tell it to them clearly that they are as hypocritical and even very tribalistic than the Yoruba race they always antagonize and criticize.

YorubaNiBaba:
Yoruba will vote Tinubu in 2023 and nothing anybody can do about it

Speak for yourself not the entire Yoruba race

naija4life247:
When we gave Pastor Judas Osinbajo the VP ticket when he had and still no political.base, you did not cry then. What has Pastor Judas Osinbajo done in the last 7 years? Why has Pastor Judas Osinbajo not gone to fight bandits and kidnappers and Boko Haram. You can all go to Hell. We will WIN the election, and you cannot do anything about it.

Arrogance will only see you to damnation.

Eddygourdo:
Those fuckers. They are the cause of this insult. They are so tribalistic that they follow a man like tinubu many of them loathe simply because awa lokan.

You will be shocked with this information that many yoruba don't like tinubu. Yet you wonder how they intend to support him even when they don't believe in him, simply to spite the igbo man. Well the north will put them in their place in 2023.

Maybe then they will see why the entire south hates them and can never trust them.

Keep up the hate. Enjoy it till you perish.

bigpicture001:
Yes na... How else will u prove otherwise..?

Obviously, you have a challenge concerning clarity of thoughts.

georjay:
So APC doings represent the wishes of SW as a whole?

Don't be stupid!!!

Please help us ask the stupid op again?

DispatcherLagos:
I always knew churches are politicized and to a very high extent tribal.
Imagine the silence of the "owners of these churches"
Redeem christian church of God
Winners
MFM
Deeper life
Etc
Just because Tinubu is Yoruba like them, they've all gone mute on this

What do you expect them to say?

NwaIdeato:
The SW due to their greed for power have unwittingly sold the North a perfect ace card to use and politically dominate Nigeria for a very long time...by agreeing to the Muslim/Muslim ticket, the South West have now given the North the impetus to dare Nigeria and even float a North/North ticket in the nearest future...after all if we are seeing a time in Nigeria's political history when a Muslim/Muslim ticket is allowed...who's to say the North will not attempt a North/North ticket soon? And who will stop them if they do?

Honestly yorubas are the biggest problems we have in Nigeria, now the indigenous Northern Christians have seen through the dishonesty and duplicity of the yorubas, the South South are now disengaging themselves from yaribas...the few poor Yaribaa Christians are helpless and silent...the entire South and Middle Belt are now cutting off the SW...we're seeing a political dynamic where the only friends of the SW will be the core Northern Muslims against the rest of Nigeria

Is this about Peter Obi?

This serial failure is very ridiculous. After you have spent 7yrs plus and you have less than a year to go, you now feel the need to retire and go.

Na God go punish somebori

oyin44:
Tinubu 's unselfish attitude towards other Nigerians , it is a reflection of a true unifier

Did you say unselfish ❓ Don't worry, we will show you the power of the people.

For those of you wasting your time on unintelligent analysis, I have some messages for you.

1. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a political Genius. God made him like that and no one can change that fact.

2. In the Nigerian politics of today, Asiwaju is a master strategist.

3. Despite the fact that I never wanted a muslim-muslim ticket, I honestly gave an analysis that a muslim-muslim ticket is an easier way for Tinubu to become president.

4. Out of every 10,000,000 Nigerians saying Tinubu will lose because of muslim-muslim ticket, 9,500,000 of them wouldn't vote the man even if he chose a muslim-christian ticket. Why will any smart politician be stupid and lose and lose the election because he wants to please 500,000 people when he can do a muslim-muslim ticket and get bloc votes from a region that want muslim-muslim ticket. In the end it's all about numbers

5. Most of Bola Tinubu core lovers and supporters in the South don't love him because he's a muslim, they love him because they love him. So, don't keep wasting your time.

6. I have always predicted that Kwankwaso would eventually step down for either Tinubu or Atiku. Going by the present calculations, Tinubu has very high chances of bringing Kwankwaso to his side.

7. To Peter Obi and his supporters, you guys are doing a very good job. However, I need you to note that you guys are indirectly working against Atiku and working in favour of Tinubu's presidency.

8. At the end of the day, Tinubu would cruise to presidency. Atiku will come second and Peter Obi will be distant 3rd or fourth (depending on some circumstances)

9. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed is the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I pray that his time as President favours Nigeria and Nigerians.

10. After Tinubu's 8 years, A Northerner will do 8 years and a SouthSoutherner will do 8years after him.

Console yourself. It shall be written after Presidential elections 2023 that Tinubu was never a President of Nigeria but an aspirant - Emi lokan

I am so confused about which party and person to vote now but I will surely not vote for APC nor PDP.

Shugavee:
This will give Apc a greater chance of winning , tinubu is playing politics by taking the risk on our naivety and emotion, southerners making stupid decisions by scattering our votes in the south, while uniting the votes from the north. Atiku is not a saint but we also need to vote strategically or we will have to endure this Islamization coming up. Atiku is definitely going to have northern votes in mass but we all know majority of the south west won’t be voting for Peter obi.. Apc are banking on us being emotional with our votes. We want unity and peace! Try to understand this!

Another paid agent of PDP

Pastorjohn2:
God spoke to me and called me

Are you sure that you heard God or some demons.

Pastorjohn2:
I have seen various posts and comments stating Christians shouldn't vote for tinubu because of his Muslim-Muslim ticket.
I'm a man of God and a born again Christian, I'm here to tell you myself and my congregation and house hold will still vote for BAT.

We're BATIFIED.
he'll turn this nation into the economic powerhouse like Lagos

That is your own vote

No problem, we shall see.

[quote author=Honjoshy4u post=114629875][/quote]I don't blame him for picking his VP from North East because the North West are becoming selfish and greedy too. The North East is still to produce a President or Vice President.

However, it should never have been Tinubu for President in 2023, that is too much gamble.

They would have had an easy run on the mases with Osinbajo and a Northern Muslim VP.

ebenholer2:
Tinubu is Muslim enough but he is never a bigot like many northerners. This strategy is a right one. Larger percentage of voting power lies in the north. Southerners are too religious to vote. They so much believe their vote will not count, and they also believe voting is being political. So kindly understand this plan so as to disappoint bigot Atiku. We must not allow another bigot in power like our Oga at the top pls.

This 2023 election will shock you.

Honjoshy4u:
The fall and destruction of Tinubu's wicked and greedy muslim muslim ambition is falling faster that I predicted.
Sane Nigerians must stop his selfish dream of destruction.

The truth is that a Christian northerner will not help the greedy Tinubu because North is mostly dominated by Muslims and they prefer themselves to Christians.

Tinubu should never have emerged as the Presidential flag bearer of APC. It should have been Osinbajo so he could have a Muslim as his VP. That would have been a winning joker for APC.

I think APC is dead and Tinubu will be the nail to the APC coffin.
