South -East to produce president after Yar’Adua

If that's true, then its really time to show the potentials Who are those that could voted for?
Are there political icons in the east that are worth believing in?

It's Naija. I don't care where the President come from, for they are all the same.

Maybe we should begin to care since we've tried other people from other regions and failed woefully.
Nevertheless, an average Igbo man would care less where the president comes from so far hard work is duely rewarded, unfortunately, that's not the case of nigeria.

On the other hand, PDP and Nigerians should not try thinking its a favor for the Igbos.

Folks after Yar'adua does not exactly mean 2011, it could well mean 2015. Some of these Journalists are not as smart as they should be. Why is no one wondering if this is Yar'adua's second term strategy to capture the South East

PDP ROTATION FORMULA IS NOT BINDING ON OTHER PARTIES

WHEN 2015 COMES THE NORTH WILL OPT FOR A PARTY WITH CANDIDATES "THEY CAN TRUST"

I HOPE THE SOUTH EAST IGNORE THIS WICKED AND SHORT-SIGHTED STRATEGY BY THE YAR'ADUA GOVERNMENT, SOME THINGS ARE JUST MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PRESIDENT'S GEO-POLITICAL ZONE.
NO DEAL WITH THE NORTH IS BINDING, THEY WILL RENEGE ON IT. HAVING A PRESIDENT OF SOUTH EAST EXTRACTION IS UNLIKELY TO SOLVE ALL OUR PROBLEMS SO I DONT KNOW WHY A 4-YEAR DEFERRED PROMISE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SWAY A GEOPOLITICAL ZONE.

ANYBODY INTERESTED IN SOUTH EAST VOTE IN 2011 HAVE 2 YEARS TO START FIXING ROADS, PROVIDING ELECTRICITY FOR ALL NIGERIANS, GOOD SCHOOLS FOR ALL NIGERIAN KIDS . . . . . . THESE REAL LIFE ISSUES CAN NOT BE SUBTITUTED WITH A 4 YEAR DEFERRED PROMISE OF HANDING THE SOUTH EAST THE PRESIDENCY. WE ARE SMARTER THAN THAT.

Thank you mike, they shouldn't just tickle our ear with lame promises. when they zoned that seat to the west, both PDP and AD+APP all brought out westerners to run for the post. so PDP cannot single handedly tell us they are giving the presidency to the south east, when they know that PDP is fast losing grip on the same south east. only two of the five south east states are still under PDP. This "promise" is for the benefit of PDP not the south east or nigeria.

that's what it will come down to at the end, the cry all along has been 'why cant they allow us have a taste of it'
so it will be a case of , look we are giving you a chance, you are not the one taking it we handle it to you

true but its like an unwritten law, in the 1999 elections the frontrunners were from the southwest, im sure it was the same in the 2003 elections. in 2007 the frontrunners were from the north, even the AC/AD presented a northerner

time and time again 'we've proved otherwise

the PDP is not ceding presidency they are just rotating, all the south-Eastern will fall over themselves to be the pdp candidate

This is the greatest lie , and some stupid igbos would believe this.

In 1999, Ekwueme was clearly the frontrunner and founding member of the PDP but we all know what happened.
A man in prison was preferred over a founding member of the party.

I am not being cynical for the sake of it, but I think the South East politicians have more serious things to worry about than producing the President of Nigeria. If South east politicians are decent they will be working harder every other Governors or regional leaders to develop the Zone.

Look at Ike Ekwremadu the Deputy Senate President, the constitution requires that the deputy senate president should by default head any constitutional reform commitee. But because Ekweremadu comes from that tribe that should never trusted folks want the deputy speaker nafada to be a co-chairman in reform committee.

So I think South East politicians should ignore National Politics and its grandstanding, so long as politics is defined by the terms of those dragging the country backward its not worth it.

What use is it producing a President when every move he makes in the interest of the country will be viewed from tribal lense.
Producing President is not the end of the world.

All those foolish nigerians in this forum can read the reactions of Igbos here to see and know that most Igbo people are not buying this crap of zoning the presidency to Igbos as if PDP and northerners and the rest of nigerias are out to do us Igbos a favor. 
Compare this to when the same northerners through Umaru Yar'adua said that they will create a ministry for Niger Delta affairs. All the zombie Ijaws on this forum and other forums bought the scam hook, line and sinker as mugus they have been since after the war. Someone tells you he will do something for you over your right and you come out rejoicing. I remember me and other Igbos warning those Ijaws to beware. Today, tell me, what have the so called ministry achieved for them. Zoning presidency to Igbos my arrsss. We are too big and wise to fall for such crap.

Nothing new in that, just a taste of their own medicine, they should get use to it!
isn't that what some accuse yaradua/OBJ of doing? whenever someone is appointed, its seen as a northerner reh reh reh

are the views of igbo on this forum the same as those on the street of lagos abuja and kano?

btw have you applied for a biafran passport, what colour is it?

Your kind of thread. . . inflammatory and derogatory lines will flow like the Nile.

who accused OBJ of tribalism? You can accuse OBJ of anything you like but tribalism can't be one of them.

and how is Yar'adua not guilty of being tribalistic.

Nobody accuses Yar'adua of tibalism based on policy formulation
But a situation where u fill all Government positions with your immediate family members and associates, and extensions. If that is not tribalism then what is tribalism.

I am not the only one who said so? El-Rufai did.

tribalism or no tribalism

all man should be allowed to run their government to the best of their ability

If you are wise enough, you should know that the views on this forum to a greater extent reflects to the views of ordinary people on the streets of nigeria. For e.g, most Yorubas on this forum will never like to see nigeria divided so they can get off their lazy arrss and work independent of Igbo people. All awusas and i mean 100% of them awusas will like nigeria to remain forever backward and this shows on their comments on this forum. Same view is obtained from both Yorubas and awusas in the streets of nigeria.

thx for your views, but the question was not yoruba, hausa, ibibio or E.T,
who can from our igbo politicans grab it at the root and bring a change

I read some still proclaim on biafra, well I somehow do too but where are those that can represent?
I mean an icon, a man with visions and idols,

What do you mean by an icon, a man with vision? Did awusa and Yoruba ever gave you an icon, men with vision while turning nigeria into the mess it has become today? Why do you have to use a yardstick when it comes to Igbos? Left for me, i say give them Andy Uba or even a person of Igbo stock that is worse, so the mess thoe idiots created will continue. Nonsense. Icon ni, vision ko.

Is it really impossible to post a comment without abusing everyone else?

Any son of Ndigbo 'hoping' for their turn to propagate this aimless and shameless caricature called Nigeria should be ashamed. . .

If I was an Igbo man, I would never want an Igbo President under some PDP Quota system. . .

This is a sick country, perpetually working toward the same wrong outcome. If the outcome every 4 years is the geographical origin of the President, then we are well and truly lost. They call it 'do and undo'. . . . Yara will put his Northern pallies in positions, then Mr Igbo President will undo all of Yaras decisions, putting his Igbo brothers in positions. . . then Mr Yoruba President will do the same on the next merry go-round. . . . none of this benefits the man on the street. . . its simply a chance for different ethnic-compositions of looters to eat the National cake, turn by turn as they say. . . . the idea itself is inherently corrupt. . .

Under any rotational Presidency, only the blackest sheep of Ndigo will rise to the top. . . Nzeribe, Odili, Kalu, etc. . . .
