Gawd I can't uunderstand how people reason in Nigeria today.
What exactly do we want for Nigeria?
Must everyone be in APC and support Buhari?
The Igbo have made a choice to stay and remain with PDP and should be left alone.
The north especially the NW has been consistent in their rejection of PDP and Jonathan and nobody has ever reprimanded and upbraided them but instead have been called brave.
In the US certain states are known as pro democratic and republican. Texas for one has alawys been republican and nobody has insulted them for not joining Obama's democratic party.
Why is it only in Nigeria that people are reprimanded for voting and staying with a party of choice?

The real question is HAS NIGERIA MOVED ON? The 3 rs started in the west n headed northwards, 20 pounds policy, the calabar, ibaka ports being sabotaged so as to reduce competition for lagos port, the constant killing of igbos in the north, the cutoff marks ie waec. Common entrance for unity schools tht mkes it dFfcult for igbos to gain admission, the idea of indigene n non indigenship nytym igbos are concerned, I can keep going.... The question is HAS NIGERIA MOVED ON? Stop being an idiat n go read history

After the civil war, all Igbos will bank accounts were given 20 GBP regardless of the millions of Naira they had. This did not happen to any non-Easterners

In Rivers state, they lost land and property. Umuokoro became Rumuokoro, Umuola became Rumuola e.t.c. All in an attempt to stifle the Igbos

Gowon's 3Rs was just a sham for Westerners to pack cash and contracts

Today, the South East has the least amount of FG investment. More money has been pumped into the insurgency ravaged North East than in the SE.

History is not being taught in Schools today because they want us to forget. They want us to accept subjugation as the new normal .They want us to accept the mentality of a defeated people.



We say NO!!

Did you expect dickson to sweep sylva apart, is sylva too not from the same bayelsa
What you should know is that bar party, the people also cast their vote along tribal line, friends and family. Sylva is not from space, he is from beyelsa. He have people in beyelsa who loves him, he is from a local govt in beyelsa. Get that fact. Most APC candidate in the East still got a reasonable amount of voters because of the same reason.
In buharia own case, personally, the igbos do not like him and the igbos will rather cast their vote to any other party than APC. To most of them, APC is a cancer and buhari is a bigger cancer.
They didn't vote for GEJ because they are so much inlove with PDP, they voted for GEJ because they didn't want buhari to win And voting for GEJ was the only option for that not to happen.
And if you conduct the election again, free and fair, buhari won't get upto 5% from the East like he got from the last one.

That state is one of the smallest states in the country and it's the home state of the former president (GEJ), yet the result of the election held since Saturday have not been announced officially till now.

I know PDP may eventually emerge winner in the election, but my point is that we Igbos should wake up and stop crying more than the bereaved cos even the bereaved have moved on.
Other regions have moved on and have even started integrating themselves into this PMB administration to ensure they remain relevant and not schemed out if things, while some of my people are still holding themselves down and throwing hate speeches here and there.
Other region are already preparing for 2019, some are already gearing up for 2023, while my people have failed to arise and shake off GEJ and his failed administration. By 2019 now, we will begin to run helter-skelter and start last minute preparation and when we loose again, we will say we are hated by others but we forget that we are the ones holding ourselves down now that others are already preparing ahead.
The Igbos have enjoyed more "juicy" appointments in the past 16 years of this democratic dispensation, yet none of the appointees or elected officials performed exceptional well for us to present him/her as presidential candidate. But look at the likes of Fashola, Fayemi, Kwakwanso, El Rufai, etc they are all potential presidential candidates going forward cos their achievements speak for them. Tell me the achievements of. Orji Uzor Kalu, T.A Orji, Sam Egwu, Chimaroke Nnamani, Mbadinuju, etc.... none of them made a mark in their various states, yet we leave them and keep pointing fingers to other regions and saying they are our problem.
I advise we wake up and begin to align ourselves strategically with other region now cos we can never produce a president in this country if we continue like this.
While some misguided elements are busy shouting Biafra, and claiming that South south is part of their Biafra, the southsouth have denounced the whole Biafra thing publicly and I understand that just last weekend, Nyesom Wike of River State, named a stadium in River State after Yakubu Gowon. Does that not tell you something?

Op you are a bloody paid agent!

The fact is that Igbo's have nothing to regret for not supporting APC and b00hari. We know that b00hari is a bloody tribal cum religious bigot. He has proven that through his actions and inactions since he came to office.

BTW, let me inform you that some of those past PDP governors you mentioned actually worked. I wouldn't know for T.A orji but I can attest to the fact that the duo of Chimaroke Nnamani and Sam Egwu performed while in office.

I am presently in an APC controlled state (Edo) and I know how bad things are here. IMO state is an APC controlled state, yet nothing to show for being under APC leadership in the state. I have been to Osun and Ogun states which are APC states, nothing is working there!

The point is that we should not completely demonize PDP as if APC is any better. Igbo's support PDP because APC failed in most of the states they govern. So, enough of all these senseless talks about Igbo's not moving on and bla bla bla. Igbo's are wise and are not easily moved by propaganda which is what APC is founded on.

Let APC prove themselves better than PDP, then they can get the support of the Igbo's. I rest my case.
Nwoke ji okwu!

Leave igbos alone, we may not know all our friends but we are not blind enough not to recognise our enemies. Buhari hates igbos(5%...remember?), don't bother mentioning Ngige, the only reason he is relevant is because of federal character.
Asking igbos to embrace APC, as if the states thst are APC led are a paradise.
