Igbos are getting elected into political posts in Canada, UK, USA, Finland, Poland, Italian Senate etc by white people who are 5000% above your ewedu muslim I.Q.

Is there anybody in your lineage who can smell such achievement in the next 300 years of your miserable alamala generation?

mrvitalis:

Truth is this being loud and egotistic is how are e motivate ourselves ...it gingers we Igbos but other people find it intimidating

We can't because of them and stop motivating ourselves na

We see hustling as war against poverty and when u go for war you brag beat your chest to keep you motivated then you show off to gingers your comerades that it's a war that can be won

How others see it is their bleeping business

The day they stop buying or patronising our business because of it then we go reason am ...the hate and envy they increase money


Hate Igbo all u want ..when you won build house , repair car, eat , buy dress , phone , ...some how somehow u go still give Igbo man your money tell am thank you on top

TheRealestGuy:


Don't understand why you're talking about PDP and APC when the fact remains that most Nigerians, especially northerners, seem to abhor even the idea of an Igbo man being president, maybe the issue of 1966 is the reason but is it good enough?

Time will tell as it does for all things.

TheRealestGuy:


I don't know.about envy but I agree with the remaining parts of your statement.

It seems either a national reconciliation or return to regionalism will be a viable solution to the suspicions and distrust of Igbos by other ethnic groups. I believe this distrust isn't mutual as you inferred because Igbos have voted northerners and westerners time and time again.

franchasng:
The reasons Yorubas and Northerners are scared of Igbo President is this:



The North is scared that an Igbo President may end up splitting Nigeria, which will be a total disaster for the North who depend mostly on Southern crude oil.



The Yorubas are scared of Igbo President simply because Yorubas know that the only tribe that outsmarts them in Nigeria are the Igbos and giving an Igbo man President poses a threat to Yoruba region economic dominance of Nigeria, as in Lagos factor. They feel an Igbo President will open up Southeast and Southsouth trade and economic channels to the disadvantage of Lagos the heartbit of Yoruba nation.



Its all fear of uncertainty. They fear Igbo dominance of Nigerian affairs just as it was after the independence that Igbos dominated all sectors of Nigeria to the envy of several major tribes. They desperately don't want that era to repeat again.



They know an Igbo President will correct a lot of injustices against Southeast region since the end of the civil war that reduced Southeast economic power in Nigeria, for example Southeast is the only geopolitical zone with 5 states.




It is a generational hatred, they don't have any genuine or justifiable reason, just normal rhetorical excuses and fallacies of hasty generalizations.



My own advice to the Yorubas is this, Yorubas have tried in the past to remain just and neutral in their affairs with Igbos and other regions in the past, but take it from me, if Yorubas dont retreat from this recent greed to grab it all at all time without considering equity, fairness and justice, and decide that they can use the civil war and IPOB secession propagandas to demarket Igbos and cury Northern people favour and support and grab the 2023 Presidency, the same law of nature that balances life events and rewards injustices of human to fellow humans will raise a sword among Nigerians that will make that Yoruba man's tenure worst than Buhari's tenure today.


In fact, what my instinct is telling me to say is scary and I don't wanna say it out.

bjdon:


I can only tell you from my personal experince this is not the case. I attnded an FGC and as such my old class mates cut across the entire nation from North to South. Just yesterday we were discussing this very topic and the 2 names that constantly came top were Osinbajo and Umahi. What's interesting is that the SE members of the group, actually kept quiet and allowed the rest of us to debate it out. Trust me there is a hunger out there in the country for COMPETENT leadership. If the SE can put forward candidate(s) with proven track record of competence, I can assure you they will be received well across the land.
PS that means no Orji Kalu or Pius Anyim O!

This is just self indulgent analysis

How do you outsmart Yoruba?

You always reason sentimentally

Think about it like this. Objectively

Why should an Yoruba support any one to be president . Fundamentally SELF INTEREST

Any Eboe man wanting Yoruba Support for Eboe president has to convince Yoruba that they have something to gain from such a project.
Historically we have never been political allies and in the past when Eboes did not support Yorubas. NOT ONCE did Yorubas call them out . We simply understood their actions or accepted them from the perspective of SELF INTEREST
Every one has a right to act in their SELF INTEREST

If you have not succeeded in gaining support of other Nigerians it is because you have not provided a SELF INTEREST narrative

That is the logical reality

Deal with that reality and stop these childish sentiments

What will a non Eboe gain from supporting an Eboe president
That is what you need to think about selling since you claim to be good businessmen
SELL THE EBOE PRESIDENCY PROJECT
Right now it is not sellable and comments like this are counter productive

franchasng:
Igbos have more than over competent hands to rule Nigeria but the internal party politics which will be based on tribal sentiments and secession propagandas wont allow an Igbo candidate to emerge as party flag bearer of any major party and thats why Igbos are kind of screaming that competent Igbo candidates should be given a fair chance to flag their party tickets and see what happens.



We all know that Nigerian Presidential elections are won from party primaries and most times the party primaries are rigged by the party stalwarts who are mostly incumbent President's mercenaries.



Please note, Igbos dont want


Orji Uzo Kalu
Rochas Okorocha

and some others.



Igbo Peoples choice candidates are:


Peter Obi
Dave Umahi
Dr Ogbonnaya Onu
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala
Kingsley Moghalu
Osita Chidoka


and many others

LILTJAY1:
Because I hate igbos with all my heart

franchasng:
Any rational and reasonable Yoruba man ought to know that an Igbo President will benefit Lagos State more than Aba or Onitsha because most prominent Igbos see Lagos as their second home.



Most Yorubas, especially the nodowells online are so pathetic, tribalistic and hate filled towards Igbos.


How many Yorubas own properties or investments in Southeast? Yet you nonentities hate people that cherish and accept your place as their second home.


Igbos you fools hate dont destroy your land, they are among the forerunners of Yoruba region massive development unlike Fulanis you hypocritically love that dont pay for your land but take it by force and still kill your people. Honestly, most of you are paranoid

JOemmy:


It's actually envy that they have allowed to turn into hate and fear of the igbo man the only solution still remains either restructuring or the outright division of nigeria any other thing is just prosponing the evil day cause it's very obvious to even the blind that the three major ethnic groups in nigeria will always be suspicious of each other and can never trust themselves even in a million years time.

aribisala0:

Define fair chance? You are given a fair chance by the constitution

The reality is that everyone votes based on Self interest
You can call it tribal sentiment

It is the job of any would be candidate to convince others that his or her candidacy would benefit them.

That is the Koko
Self interest and persuasion.

If I go to line up to vote in Kwara or Ekiti or Zamfara how does it benefit me to vote an Eboe person?

I will vote because I BELIEVE there is some benefit not because Eboes have not had a turn

Do Eboe traders adjust their practice so Hausa can also sell spare parts "FOR EQUITY"?

franchasng:
Stop quoting me please.


Obasanjo was preselected by PDP party bigwigs, Ekwueme was just allowed to contest to make it look real to avoid raising eyebrows. Obasanjo was already selected next President to pacify the Yorubas after the Abiola saga.


Ekwueme granted an interview on this.


Who was OBJ that just came out from prison and had no money to win big politicians with money bags then.


Yaradua was preselected by OBJ, but didnt stop Okorocha and co from contesting to fulfill all righteousness.


That has always been the trend in Nigeria. Why can't same be applied to Igbos?


Its not as if Igbo President will make me richer, in fact Buhari's tenure remains my most blessed years in life. I became more financially successful under Buhari Presidency than any other in my entire life so far.


An Igbo President may even favor Hausas and Yorubas more than most Igbos, but what we are saying is allow equity, fairness and justice, Nigeria is a multitribal nation and only equity, fairness and justice can prosper Nigeria for all.



Pls don't quote me again, I noticed you are an online political lapdog and an anti Igbo banter.


Dont quote me pls, thanks

aribisala0:
Buhari should select an Eboe man to succeed him to reciprocate the love Eboes have shown him

Are you not funny

TheRealestGuy:


We all know that IPOB does not represent Igbos.

The only group that can be said to represent Igbos to an extent at the national level is Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

So your reason is comical at best.

TheRealestGuy:


Your comments in quotes are simply banter that we all do to each other.

Similar to "Igbo man fit sell him family or use him mama for rituals, dem too like money". These banks should not form basis of treating them like second class citizens and keeping them away from the presidency perpetually.

The average hausa-fualni has been killing Igbos and other southerners since the 1950s for one flimsy reason or another. This did not make Igbos to not vote Yar'adua or hate Atiku.

About Igbos not "knowing how to market themselves in politics" the thing is that the average Igbo man does not conform to herd thinking and tries to be as republican in nature as possible. Also, I'm not sure what marketing Yar'adua ever did or GEJ, for them to be elected presidents.

TheRealestGuy:


It is a known fact that Igbos integrate wherever they find themselves and also assimilate other cultures - if that isn't nation building then what is?

As for your last statement, yes Igbos do sort of have a superiority complex which can be a real cause of disaffection but I don't agree that having a superiority complex should be the reason why they are a target for killing at every instance of Riots in the North or why they should never be in the presidency in Nigeria.

TheRealestGuy:


You are repeating the same mantra that I've tackled in my OP.

If Igbos are still living and carrying out their businesses in other parts of Nigeria, even in the heavily terrorised North where they are targets of over religious zealots, isn't that proof enough that they are deeply embedded in the Nigeria project?

What is your measure of patriotism? Is it by mouthing it or actually putting systems in place to ensure that justice and meritocracy is practised in all spheres of the nation?

Your reasons aren't quite cogent man. Try again.

mrvitalis:

U can't market yourself to people who fear ,envy and are intimated by how successful you are

MORE HOPELESS YORUBA MEN, DOING WHAT THEY ARE DESTINED TO DO, WHICH IS ASPIRE TO BE IGBO.



LET ME TELL YOU, HOW HOPELESS YOU ARE.


IF WE SAY WE ARE BREAKING NIGERIA TODAY, YOU WILL FORM ANOTHER GROUP THAT WILL LAUNCH DIPLOMATIC EFFORT AND FORM ALLIANCE TO JOIN COUNTRY WITH IGBOS.



WE SAW THAT WITH SUNDAY IGBOHO.

DECLAN2015:


Kept on making the same error
"Successful " in what exactly
"Fear"by who exactly.
Igbo are kind of evrryone is wrong but us.
That atitude can take u far
Most of what is happening to them is because of their gra gra nature
U need to stooplow to conquer atimes

Acesexcell:
my brother making an Igbo a Nigeria president is a very dangerous adventure we can't even imagine at the moment. Considering what is happening in South East. Regarding this their Biafra and sit at home saga.

mrvitalis:

What is happening to the Igbos please ?
There is nothing Igbos complain about that's not affecting your people more if u tell yourself the truth

We benefits from this rot in this country more than any tribe ...we import ,fix any price we agree on ,sale anywhere in most cases font pay a penny as tax and u thing the system is against us ? lmao

Igbos just want the right thing done fairness n equity because that's who we are as a people

TheRealestGuy:


Is it the parties primary elections that make any one president? It is on record that Igbos voted for OBJ massively on both ocassions even when Ojukwu was a contestant under another party in 2003.

Please think before you comment.

Grayoso:


You Igbos are such olodos. Look at the part in bold above in your post. Are they not contradictory and an example of the 419 mentality you're all born with?

You want equity and fairness yet scheme to deliberately avoid paying a penny in tax?

When we tell many of you to shut up you will insult us. Meanwhile, see your life?
