Please help name any good leader from the south-south or south-east of your choice to be the next president at the 2011 presidential election. I mean someone that will be generally accepted by the whole nation.

Another controversial thread,

You don't want us to talk about this

@Naijex
So after yorubas produced Olisiego Obulusonjo and the North(not necessarily the hausas) brought Yaradull you want people of SE and SS to produce a "credible" candidate that is generally accepted to clean these peoples mess abi for President?Abeg bring Orji Uzor Kalu,Andy Uba,James Ibori so that we can complete the cycle of madness.

Why the Igbos? Most of the threads are talking about the Igbos.

Igbo people, Una too much ooooooooooooooo!

Igbos are incapable of successfully choosing a consensus candidate.

I wish we can have a president from South-south or south-east

Which planet una come from wey una dey think say Igbo go be president for Nigeria, well its always good to dream sha.

Make una dey there dey just waste una time write whats impossible, Its either we split of make a revolution, if not the Nigeria system will remain the same.

Naijex

Igbo president can never solve the problem in Nigeria, our problem is not the tribe that rules but the system the president works on. Our system of governance is not workable. Until that is rectified we will remain stagnant irrespective of who the number citizen is.

Absolutely correct and thats why we either need revolution to change the whole system or we should just split Nigeria apart , mostly we westerners need to depart.

So you think we do not need to try a credible SE/SS person to rule Nigeria. Fixing or no fixing of Nigeria problem.

Maybe that is what God is waiting for because He does not like cheating.

At least the hausa/fulanni and the yorubas have lead and history is judging them today.

Well maybe you dont see the move , do you also see all the corruption thats being made in Nigeria, just chill Nken biko.
But dont you even see it to be a good thing to happen, atleast una go enjoy una oil money wella.

Naija needs a leader right now that has the same qualities like Idiagbon. That was one man that flogged naija into shape, but of course we had our elites that were not down for such shit. Whether Igbo, Efik, or a Yoruba man not named Obasanjo, they will all be specially handpicked to carry on the tradition of "Chop as you go".

i think this thread is about who and not if. well, i would want us to rent obj or iyabo obasanjo.

Well I would pick Utomi, Ukiwe, but Nigeria would prefer Uba, Kalu, and the best of them all Iwu.

Stop dreaming an Igboman would not be president of nigeria. Even if jesus become an igboman in the politics of nigeria, an igboman would not be president. look the only way you can be president even if umaru finish is other group are not in nigeria. do the maths,  That why if your igbo senators support the move to remove the yorubas from nigeria to the republic of benin. The coast is clear for your people. Since the yorubas would not be in the picture again. THE NORTH would have no other option than give an igbo man the president.
GET THE YORUBA INTO THE REPUBLIC OF BENIN.

What makes you guys thinks that an Ibo man cannot be the president in Nigerian? Is it that they are not qualified or have no legitmate right to be the president in Nigeria. Sometime i marvel at some peoples opinion on country we said is one Nigeria.Jst imagine the concept we Nigerians go about that someone cannot be a presindent in his legitmate country jst becoz of his/her tribe. I think this has been the reasons why Nigeria will remain backward coz every little thing in the country is being tribalized. That is why i almost laughed at the guy who wanna be the next Nigerian Obama coz i wonder how that can be achieved in environment with such a mentality. The earlier we quit decieving ourselves in that nation the better for all of us. A country where everyone preach about one Nigeria but in our hearts and acts all we see is a divided nation.

the reason i said so is the political equation does not favour them. conduct 1 million presidential election , igboman would not be president. to change the political equation get the yorubas into the republic of benin.

Forget about producing an Igbo President cos d Igbos themselves r not united and find it difficult to pick a consensus candidate even amongst themselves . Until the Igbos can unite in one voice no president will come 4rm that region and when I mean d Igbos exclude the SS.

Some of your contributions are horrible!

I'm Igbo but if I'm convinced an Igala man would make a better president, I would chose him in lieu of the Igbo man.
But to say an Igbo man can't be the president of nigeria is rather idiotic.

What are the pre-requisites for the position and why is it that no Igbo is qualified?

Political equation dose not favour them, lol thts really funny. Its time we start seeing a change in Nigerian beyond all these political this and political that. So you want to tell me that if An outstanding Ibo man, who have all the qualities it takes to move Nigeria foward comes out for an election, he can't be elected jst becoz the politica equation do not favour the Ibo as u said? This has been Nigerian biggest problem like i said before.

Please sir if we are still One Nigeria as we claim to be should a presidential condidate be produce by a tribe or  Is a candidate be chosen by the consensus of each tribes or the parties? You  can see the division even inside the parties.
Everyone is clapping and happy about the jst concluded US election but we should ask ourself wht tribe in America does Obama comes from to win the American president or wht was the political equation of his tribe in America.

useless country

i am now beginning to undestand why chinua achebe wrote about "igbo problem' in that his book "the trouble with nigeria".

I won ask why is there a problem on Yorubas splitting from Nigeria, Una Igbos go get the oil now and enough money.

Make una no no mind us, let us go and suffer, make una enjoy the oil wella with the money, But for me oo, any Igbo or Hausas gat to comot for lagos and other western state to there country , Nigeria

Well if u notice the Igbos r always clamoring 4 it. I'm just trying 2 let them realize y it's so difficult for ém. Personally I'm not tribalistic. I just wnat a good leader to lead us 2 d promise land.

I couldn’t have said it berra myself Scott. . .  .

Igbos should 4get about the presidency and concentrate on what they know how to do best: buying and selling. Leave politics for the professionals ie those who have been at it fro the better part of our post independence era.

Mr Suya you are definetly right. People like Shagari, Abacha, IBB, are real professionals that is why Nigeria is such a great Nation, way advanced among her peers.

Credible names please. No distractions abeg guys.

you do not know that in nigeria, it is equation. and the equation is not in igbo favour. you see if they refuse to allow the yorubas to join the republic of benin, the yorubas and hausa would continue to rotate the presidency between themself , but if you remove the yorubas the hausa can share the president with the igbo

@BecomeRich
This guy i beg talk some sense.
