What has Ojukwu got to do with APC 2019 Senate presidency. Abi your divide tricks never tire you?
Rest mbok

All today is traceable to a yesterday!

Where folks like Akpabio can get at it. Their kin Effiong was left to carry the can when Ojukwu fled the war abandoning his people! They deserve it. #Wayas.

A real yam ends up fine pounded yam to be savoured with a delicious bowl of ofe egusi! Not this one! He struggles to win elections! The modus operandi doesn’t fit!!

Living well but in detention after contributing to the needless death of members of our armed forces when he channeled funds meant for homeland security to Jonathan’s campaign. Meanwhile Uncle Fortunatus speaking nasally on the lecture circuits is as free as air!

wow, commendable, I like kano State, they rise above critics,
we always blame the north for our misfortune and say they are the problem of this country,
just
because ur neighbour refuse to keep his room in order, u will
not tidy urs but blame ur neighbour.
the north is never ur problem, the govt is the
problem, we the oil producing states get 13% derivatives but
nothing to show for it, was it cos of d north?

former and present Governor of Rivers State fighting and
throwing tantrums like kids, was it cos of d north?

Africa is so backward, yet d western countries are growing
bigger, they didn't blame Africa for misfortunes.

The whole of Bayelsa state doesn't have even a 10cm long flyover but they will insult the north.


Ask them how the north became their problem, they won't say, Africa is den d problem of the world, we are so backward, refuse to grow and still blame ourselves.

You are quite on point here. The other day I was at Asaba and shocked to find government offices accommodated in lock-up shops. Been at AkwaIbom,Bayelsa and Rivers States where it appears that only Uyo AKS has something to show for the massive oil revenue they pick up. Ostentatious lifestyle is common place.

This Buhari sef...

Na so you do so tey this man embarrass you for Ogun state

So long as a politician has the votes he seeks it won’t matter much to him to be embarrassed!

gcof:
what matters to Buhari is being the president and as long as he is president, anything can happen he doesn’t care

But a leader should be large hearted and welcome all! That, I think is what is playing out! It’s like what you have in a typical family where one parent is the cane wielder (Oshiomhole) while the other (Buhari) is the succour provider for the spanked bambino! When it’s all over both parents (Buhari and Oshiomhole) will discuss the bambino(Amosun) in the privacy of their bedroom and decide what to do with him! Amosun the bambino kicking the door open into his Papa’s bedroom!

Rub my back and I’ll rub yours in return!

God created man to live holy daily for His good pleasure not just because Christ will come suddenly and like a thief in the night! Those living right just for that reason will be caught off guard!

Smart man! That is wisdom!

nope they didn't and will never have any regrets on that
an average igbo man does not depend on government for survival
they hustle on their own and make living from their hard works even in an unfriendly hostile situations
that's why they don't give a Flying furck when supporting the candidates of their choice
they do so and damn the consequences because they owe no one any freaking apology and favours.
that's how you behave when you're 100% independent.



my question is can any other tribe boast of such independence from government?

Business is not unconcerned about the fellow who sets policy in any given space where it has footprints.That fellow is called Government!

Good

To rule the people successfully is to be close to them! I’m in the hope he has learnt a thing or two.

Sin brings reproach. Consider righteousness instead - it brings lifting.

Papa, Happy and blessed birthday and new year ahead in Jesus Name?

What bunch of childish reactions is this man making and some trolls making here? Just imagine the idiocy in the whole contradictory claims! In one breath, the man claims Igbos play politics of emotion and cannot unite. In another breath, he claims they are united and put their eggs in one basket.

One thing I have come to realise is, when you are a butt of envy no matter what you do people will find faults. In all honesty, would you do deals with inconsistent and unreliable folks? Ndigbo have shown over and again that they are consistent in their ideological choices. Why are Northern Hausa/Fulani voters not attacked for voting in bloc direction where their interest is best served?

It is this anti-Igbo sentiments on platforms and discussions such as this that make Nigeria such a shithole of bigotry and underdevelopment.

Nigerians must end ethnic profiling and break the jinx and anti-Igbo sentiments. 2023 is Nigeria's date to show that this is truly one nation. Nigerian President of Igbo extraction is an indisputable reality.

See how clean and decent your post is! That exactly is what Baba Achebe had to say the other time about the SE. Hear him-
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.” - Chinua Achebe

The truth is always a tough pill to swallow. I respect Tiunbu a lot. He set Lagos state on a path of prosperity but he goofed big time for buhari.

What did buhari do after winning in 2015? He sent efcc after him. It took buhari just attending Tiunbu birthday party that had him rolling on the floor again. Buhari will never support Osibanjo. It's clear from the way they treat him. Osibanjo is a glorified errand boy.

Good leaders stoop to conquer!

lielbree:
First of all I'm Ijaw and even though we are in the same struggle with the Igbos I don't see it happening.

I campaigned hard and VOTED for Atiku amid ameachi induced military bullets flying every where on my LGA.

We need to re strategize. I pray for a miracle at the supreme court for Atiku if not it's not looking good politically for us.

The core north have hatched a plan for buhari to hand over to ribadu. Let's not down play it!

BTW, Jonathan is Ijaw. He was President. I will agree any day though that he was very far from the best The Izon had to offer as President.

maasoap:
Boring. If giving all your votes to Atiku Al'Camerooni Dan Fulani didn't make you slaves, I wonder why Yorubas who split their votes should be tagged slaves. Boring.

Ndigbo should have a thing or two to learn from the Yoruba who split their votes and maintain sizeable presence in the major political parties for obvious reasons. In politics there are no permanent enemies. You don’t slam the door in the face of an acquaintance - you may have need of the relationship some other time. Ndigbo would appear to see differently.

kernel001:
That filled with what? Hate! How does pursuit of interest turn hate? Did the Igbos ask you not to vote Buhari, how does another man's choice turn hate.

The way we define things in this part of the world surprise surprises me.

What informed the choice? That’s the beef of the anti IGBO lot! It’s about time the Igbo stop despising and looking down on others who are not IGBO!!

It just went up in flames actually with the crass display of lacking political sagacity in the just concluded elections that left Ndigbo with nothing to bargain with come 2023. TheYorubas have it! They supported Buhari (the North).

The ineffectual Bufforn

aka Fortunatus. The least he could do was ensure good access road to his community!

This had better be fake news!

The dying candle! Only repentance will make his next level worth the while! Runaway! The old fox took off for UK once he saw Buhari would be back! There is this $16 billion dollars he squandered on purported power projects when he was President less than 20 years back and for which he could be headed for the rabbit hole!

It is his constitutionally reserved right to run a 180 days race.

Atiku had better be quick about it!

Lose and lone!

Really! Truth is voters stayed indoors. #blamennamdi
