Why didn't Atiku win the 2023 presidential election? Why didn't Buhari win in 2003, 2007 and 2011? Could all these be due to hatred for the Fulanis?
But Buhari a Fulani eventually became Nigeria' president for 8 years.
Is Nigeria better now or worse?

Physicians heal thyself first.

Let Igbos rescue SE first.
Did Good luck Jonathan rescue the Niger Delta was oil exploitation and restiveness before becoming Nigeria's president?
Did Buhari rescue the North from Boko Haram, widespread poverty and Almajiri system before becoming Nigeria's president?
Did Tinubu rescue the Southwest from what Sunday Igboho and the campaigners of Odua Nation were complaining about before becoming Nigeria's president?

I don't get you OP. They may have guess right in the past, hence other regions also guessed right by votinh for OBJ and Yar'Adua. It's nothing to do with Igbo voting for PDP.

If they were so excellent in making right choices like you claimed, they would have also elected food governors in their states.

Even Peter Obi that the SE all voted in block in this election cycle, can you explain the below? Alot of people did not vote Peter Obi in other region as we saw how he became a messiah overnight. Why do they suddenly like a man that they themselves called a failure in Anambra? 👇
Do u understand what an opposition is?
Atiku said alot about Tinubu In the last election
But back in 2007 to 2015, they were best of friends
Showing us what AC an PDP members said in the past to him and decided to join him is foolishness of the highest order
They share these things to you in your group but u guys are not capable to think it through
Ambode called Tinubu alot of names, called Sanwo olu a mental patient with a file in yaba but today he is busy snapping pictures with them

It's like most of you don't even know what politics is

There are people that hated him for no reason just as u are hating him now

The current Minster of digital economy said alot of negative stuffs about Tinubu when he was in the opposition but today he is praising him
Many of your influencers on Twitter like Ogbeni dipo, otunba GCFR etc Have made alot of derogatory statement about Tinubu and today supporting him
Reno that is now your new god also did his own.

If u are still sharing this to prove a point then u are baby in the game

So only Igbos gave Peter Obi the 6.1 million votes?

If Nigerians didn't vote for Peter Obi because he is Igbo, he wouldn't have been able to win in Lagos, Plateau or Edo States which are not Igbo States.

In Oyo State, many young people and Pentecostal Christians in SW Capital cities voted for Peter Obi but what they they get in return? Hatred, insults, curses.

Peter Obi won in virtually all the Polling units inside RCCG Redemption Camp but Obidients have consistently disrespected and denigrated Pastor Adeboye, the General Overseer of the church and always ridicule the RCCG daily on Social Media.
It is Peter Obi they voted for because of the qualities they saw in him and not Obidients.
Those who voted Peter Obi have been proven right, haven't they?
Did Peter Obi not tell his supporters not to insult anybody on his behalf?
Please tell me who Peter Obi has hated, insulted or cursed?
Are you saying that those non Igbos who voted for Peter Obi because they believe he can salvage the country should not do so again because of the behaviour of some faceless supporters?

Leave Yorubas (whom you have persistly demonized eventhough, a substantial number of them supported Peter Obi) and focus on convincing the remain 299 tribes in Nigeria.
A lot of tribes voted Peter Obi because of the qualities they saw in him.
The propagandists made it look like it was only Igbos who supported Peter Obi but the election results proved otherwise.
Thank God for his Yoruba and other non Igbo supporters who have now been vindicated.
I think some divide and rule politicians are trying so hard to make Yoruba supporters of Peter Obi to turn away from him on the excuse that certain 'Obidients' are not happy with Yorubas.
Has the aftermath of Emilokan not taught anybody the lesson that election and declaration of the winner whether by hook or by crook has consequences and that suffering knows no tribe, religion or political affiliation?

Some people are trading blames over who is the worse president between Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu.
But the Igbos who had earlier voted for Obsanjo, Yaradua and Jonathan rejected those two in 2015, 2019 and 2023.
You laughed the Igbos to scorn for so doing. They were called 'wailers'.
Who is laughing last and who is wailing loudest now?
Think about this. What if the prosperity of this great country Nigeria lies in the hands of an Igbo man?
Would you rather prefer that Nigeria continues the downward trends and suffering, hunger and insecurity intensifies just to spite the Igbo man?
Nigerians, can we please jettison Igbophobia and listen to the Igbos?
They got it right on three consecutive occasions.
They will likely get it right next.
But will the Igbophobia people reason beyond petty tribalism?
I am listening

Ok.
You can both listen to what Igbos are saying as well as what they are writing.

It is not as if northerners or other Nigerians did not know what the Igbos knew about those men. It's just that based on the current structure of Nigeria, NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE COUNTRY.

If we had Arewa region, a grossly incompetent fellow like Buhari would never have been allowed in governance. There are too many eminently qualified northerners like Ahmed Datti that would not steal nor allow the people's resources to be stolen or wasted.

Likewise, if we had Odua Region, a shady character like Tinubu would never have been allowed to rule it. There are too many qualified and honest Yorubas that we would not allow the worst of us to rule us.

It is because of the structure of Nigeria that the worst people are allowed to rule "Nigeria". Since nobody really feels that Nigeria's misrule has consequence on the people's wellbeing and progress. The country MUST be restructured so that each region will find its best brains to rule and prosper the people.

Now having correctly identified structural defect as the hinderance to the emergence of competent people to power, and knowing fully well that the structural defect in question was not there in the beginning but later created by Igbos, isn't it therefore logical and correct to conclude that Igbos are at the root of this hinderance to the emergence of good leadership in Nigeria?

So whats the benefit of Tinubu's presidency to Yorubas exclusively?

I never suggested President Tinubu’s presidency benefitted Yorùbá's exclusively so can't answer your question.

We will all enjoy or will all suffer regardless of who is President

But you have been Abusing Igbo since the civil war and we have been Voting other tribes. So Obidients of yesterday that made up of almost different people from different tribes now make you not vote any Igbo man since 1999

Please can you be careful about what you post, I personally have never abused Ndigbo as a group.

I stand guilty of giving it to Obidients well well in response to needless tribal insults on President Tinubu whose only sin was defeating Peter Obi hands down during the election.
