Ethnic sentiments made the igbos take the step they did.


The closest Igbo man to the incoming Government is Dr Chris Ngige Onwa.

Lets break down things to see how bad Igbos are at strategizing? They couldn’t override their pathological hatred for General Buhari to make a hedge bet and return this man to the Senate, to enhance his chances at Senate President, incase General Buhari wins, which he did.

Instead folks played tribal and religious politics to the tilt as drunken sailors, and failed the man and the chance to make history as Senate President. That’s what happens when emotions trips common sense and folks succumb to hustlers like Peter Obi and Arthur Eze, hustlers after their own interests instead of the masses they pretend to serve.

I urged caution, I pleaded that we were making a huge mistake to hitch our wagon on Jonathan who wasn’t going to
win. And predictably he lost, so also our chance in the new administration.

Lets not gloat.

But maybe, maybe, only maybe he gets a good ministerial appointment, but nothing beats being Senate President.

Igbos are very bad at politics.

Fifty years after independence, they are yet to produce a president when others have taken multiple turns. Their answer is ? Blame others! If you only Hausas didn’t do this or Yorubas didn’t do that, perhaps the god of politics will bless our lot.

And sadly it won’t stop until they learn to coexist with others instead of our ‘better than thou’ attitude when dealing with the Hausas and Yorubas. They are not better than anyone.

Igbos don’t like the Hausas and same igbos don’t like the Yorubas, yet they populate their States in search for livelihood.

They should let their politics mirror their economic aspirations, not the other way around. There is no wisdom in living in the North, earning a living, yet despise the Northerners. That’s being ungrateful.

How long can this collective amnesia insulate the igbos from meaningfully seating at the table, making contributions to Nigeria’s political evolution?

How long can this foolishness go on? How long?

There is a miserable silence across the land today, because they are realizing that they were sold off for pennies by pimps who parade as Igbo leaders.

Where are they? Anyone home? The ohameze group is a disgrace and must be wiped off for the igbos to move ahead

usbcable:
All I see is our Ibo brethren are pained and angry at Tinubu. nothing more nothing less.
No logical reason as to why Agbaje is better other than Ambode's link to Tinubu.
And their headache is that Tinubu denied them GEJ return

Gbam you said it all. I don't understand why they can't just come out plain to accept this as a fact.

The igbos are the architect of their problems.

dmz1:
Stop talking foolishly, Igbo this Igbo that. Why the sudden love for Igbos? is love by force? The Igbo voted who they wanted so allow them experience the consequences of their choice. why are you taking analgesic for another mans headache?
in this passing government, why did the Yorubas give up on the speakership of the lower house? did you die because you didn't have it.
don't be foolish my friend. Ngige was voted over the indefatigable late DORA in 2011 but he was not a good representative of his constituency and he became rejected now you are blaming Igbo for voting out incompetence. what a hypocrite(remember you sw claim you voted out gej because of incompetence) you are a master of double speak aka sophistication aka hypocrisy aka false lover.
The Se and Sw don't have same political attitude. the sw plays a centrist politics while the Se plays to the right. each has its pros and coins and I don't think its right to antagonize anyone for his choice of politics.
As you are happy now that sw has hit the political jackpot in 2015 some other time in the future if nigeria endures Se will be happy too to have won a fabulous jackpot too.
peace brother

You are loosing it. Its about political calculations not luck.

eCollynzo:
We love it that way.
Yorubas should stop crying more than the supposed bereaved.
They didn't occupy any of those positions in the last 4 years and no one taunted them because of that.

saintandsinnerz:
Then shut up and mind your f*** business! Stop crying more than the bereaved

That's your problem, insulting your antagonist when there is no need for one

NnamdiN:
in other words, you're irrelevant as well?

Lol. Am also neither Igbo.

And need less I remind you, there is a difference between truth and Partial truth

saintandsinnerz:
You talk like fool really! Do you think the Igbos are dependent like you Yoruba people? Some of you idioots are so annoying with your tribal comments that it make some people to descend to your shameless level! What has happen to people choices? Must the Igbos vote for APC? What happened to freedom of choice and association? And who told you the Igbos are agitating for the senate president? Or is it case of crying more than the bereaved? Mr. man just shut up and wait for Buhari and Tinubu to feed the rest of you. Lazy bones

I see anger written all over your face. Just know this, an Igbo man will never! Never!! Never!!! Become the senate President.

saintandsinnerz:
Why can't you lazy yoruba azz lickers leave the Igbos alone? Do you think they have slave mentality like you? You people that are relevant in Nigeria politics, how has is it change your lives? Are you people economically better off than the Igbos? Why can't people allow the Igbos the freedom make their own choices? Must they support who you support? In fact you lot talk like dirty animals that need to be kept in the zoo!

And that is where you shot yourself with your Gun. For your info am neither Yoruba nor Hausa.

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
try telling Midorima kagami to forgive america for wiping hiroshima, try telling a sarajévo native to befriend bosnians, try telling an afghan to help the US marines after wiping out his family in tabuk, try telling my grandfather to greet a northerner after gowon succeded in wiping out his siblings in a civil.war, and killing his people economically(buhari/idiagbon '83)....... igbos have realized a long time that NIGERIA holds no future for them, a historical piece of pre-colonial.igbo societies would give a clearer picture of the igbo political stand.

Your last sentence still point to my episode where I say the Igbo man must forget the civil war to move ahead. That is if they want to move ahead

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
suddenly ngige has become a hero, Tell me, what beneficial bill did ngige pass as senator of anambra, what viable projects did he start and finish. You guys can eat senate pres. for All i care, afterall mark was SP for 8 years, yet otukpo doesnt have a befitting police post. ymodulus pls stop forming igbo-political professor, read "there was a country" "my struggle-adolf hitler" and the biography of gavrillo princip and you'll see that a crime against generations cannot dissapear.
BIAFRA KWENU!!!
IGBO KWENU!!!!
NDI'IMO KWENU!!!!

By China Achebe? Telling me about the wrongs of Awolowo and how he committed genocide

Why don't you read the " book why we struck ". Read it and understand. I read why we struck and I understand Chinua's point of view and his angle but you need to understand that for the igbos to be something today a lot of adjustment have to be made, and some story in Chinua Achebe book have no principle to guide the igbos towards this.

This man should be careful with this country and give the naira value and stop ranting because we do not know why he id devaluing the lives of people in this country every day! As bad as people claim Abacha was, he is the only most recent president who gave us monetary value of $1 to N22 using the Minister of Finance Ani and Gouma as central bank governor.!!! They are all around and where we do not know we should as questions. Economics that values our lives for nothing against countries which produce nothing but have stronger currencies is bad economics and failed economics.

I wish I could use my naira to pay for books in London, in New York or in Paris. If Nigerians and their foreign friends in Nigeria cannot use our legal tender (the naira) as medium of exchange, they are unwittingly becoming willing slaves of the 21st century. The way things are going, it is a matter of time before the country implodes. Any attempt to tame Nigerians and foreigners must start with taming the political class of which Jonathan is the first among equals.


Spare no corrupt politician, spare no rod.

I believe with bihari as president you will do this.

ekenedegreat:
is dat a maggot talking?
*sweeps it out of thread*

You may had wondered why the IGBOS are too resilient in their plight to be wealthy but never resilient in their unity as one. They only unite in the face of oppression but when it comes to personal desires, they fight and kill each other. The Uba brothers fought themselves during OBJ's regime for the governorship of Anambra, no elder, or royalty waded into their fight, rather they took sides.

Peter Obi dominated APGA for a very long time, APGA being the only concentrated IGBO party couldnt even get majority vote of any SENATORIAL SEAT or HOUSE OF REPS, lets excuse DELTA STATE because they claim not to be refered to as IGBO. Rochas and Peter Obi fell apart when ones ambition was not in line with the other. So Rochas moved to APC to see if he could realise his dreams. Eventually Peter Obi left APGA to PDP.

It is only fo.o.Ls (Igbos) that would forget history and try to use the present situation to steal some points. In Imo state the PDP has ruled and stolen money that Imo state was never developed. They said Imo state does not have money. But today we see changes being done there. why would they want PDP to come and rule.

If you love development, if you feel you deserve development as an IGBO person. If you feel the money meant to build your state is being stolen by certain group of people who would deceive you they have your interest at heart. Its better you stand up and tell your igbo clans that enough is enough. That you all no longer want to be treated as foo.L's.

For this to be actualize you all need to forget the hatred of the 1967-69 Civil war by General Gowon and start thinking towards the future, start thinking about accepting and mixing up with other tribes.


I hope you all have realised from the recent held election that the Igbo is irrelevant in Nigerian Politics of today. You all can't do it alone.


A word they say is enough for the wise.


I rest my case.

talktrue1:
Minority cannot rule over majority. Igbos will not have any political power in this regime.
Senate President, Deputy senate president, Speaker, deputy speaker, SSG, None will get to them.
Its a pity

Thank you well said.


The IGbos are not relevant in today's politics. We have seen that.

DukeNija:
This your hate will make you run mad.

no hatred just truth I speak.

PointB:
My friend sharrap.

This is 2015, you think we'll close our eyes and watch you people continue to plunder our oil for your benefit? If you lots know what's good for you, you'll understand that winner takes all is simply a recipe for disaster.

We proudly support GEJ, and given the chance, we'll do it again!

Now if you think Igbos should be punished for their principled stand, you have another think coming...

I can see anger written all over you. Mr pointB get it, NEVER WILL AN IGBO MAN be SENATE PRESIDENT. If you some like my comment, pretend you never saw it.

PointB:
Tambuwal was Speaker even as an APC minority in the house.

The Senate president position should go to SE even if the beneficiary is of PDP!

Never Igbos sold their right already.

Never will an ihbo man be there. Never never never

Amaechi is one of the few respectable southerner. That don't think like the Igbo's majority.

He his an Hero, A respectable leader. And a role Model.

tosyne2much:
Baba this ur comment fear me oooo

You don't need to be scared.

The moment you realise that those religionist are scammers you will understand that you are powerful than they are.


Btwn, where Apostle fire man?

Sibrah:
Nobody is really taking serious advantage of the APC Tsunami in Delta, APC is being treated as a foreign thing here and most folks are proud of Delta's one party status. They think its cool.

Am ashamed of delta state.

Where is Festus keyamo , what party does he belong too?. Where is the great ogburugburu?

sincerenigerian:
Kashamu should be ready to go to the U.S this year to finally clear his name. Being in the senate won't stop him from going to the U.S.

Hahahaja!

You didn't even pity him. I actually thought the drugs allegation have been squashed

Oooh Kashamu the Drug Baron. I never called him that. oBJ did.


Its nice, your congratulation message, received.

Please when will FFK congratulate GMB?

Gbawe:
Bros, I don't want to talk too much about the situation of that joker except to say he will know 'whats up' soon. Furthermore, riggers are wasting their time because Buhari is incoming. Wike will be the biggest victim. I will personally encourage them to again try the same rigging abracadabra they did for GEJ in Rivers Presidential collation for Wike guber election also. We know Faka Jonathan is eager to have Wike as Governor but they are now on a long thing because every single election malpractice will be reversed under Buhari. The Buhari win is a tsunami for many reasons many cannot appreciate right now. Things will be very different and their will be an intolerant and permanent cull of lawless thugs like Wike, Obanikoro et al. Buhari told them he is drawing a line in the sand. I think many do not really appreciate what this means but they will soon.

In fact reading your analysis gave me hope as regards Niger state. I was really scared it will be rigged in favour of the PDP governorship aspirant in person of Umar Nasko against the APC aspirant ( Abu Sani Bello lolo ) , but now I have hope.

Also I do like to ask , who is APC governorship aspirant for Delta state?

oyb:
most of us believe beaf is reno omokri - he handed over his job to the proto tandroids - sincere9jerian, rossike, mandelaguy - the second wave of pdp paid hacks

Wow. How did you guys arrive to that?

oyb:
protection money tinz barcanista style

lol!! You funny. Let's just leave barcanista I believe he now understands his errors.

Ooo I miss Beaf , @ Gbawe where is this guy call beat? He was a hardened supporter of GEJ during the 2011 elections.
