You sound reasonable but you seem not be honest in your analysis, how you may ask and I will explain below.


If you can be very honest, when was the last time Igbo person came out to contest for President and got massive Igbo people's ?


In 1999, an Igbo man Alex Ekwueme formed a party PDP, hoping to use it to contest for President. He got convinced to forget the ambition, that Yorubas need to be pacified for MKO Abiola saga.


Another Igbo man, Ogbonnaya Onu who formed another popular party which later merged with another party and he too wanted to contest, he was told that it's Yoruba turn to pacify them for MKO Abiola saga, Ogbonnaya Onu swallowed his ambition and Olu Falae got the mandate while Obasanjo got PDP mandate.


Out of consideration of what happened to MKO Abiola, two Yorubas emerged Presidential candidates for both parties.


Igbos queued behind Obasanjo a Yoruba man and he won.


In 1993 during MKO Abiola vs Tofa Presidential election, Tofa a Northerner had an Igbo man Sylvester Ugo as his running mate while Abiola had Kingibe a Northerner as his running mate.


MKO Abiola won Anambra state and got more than 45% of total votes cast in the remaining 3 Igbo states of Imo, Enugu and Abia, go and check the result. Tofa won Abiola in the other 3 Igbo states with a very narrow escape. Meaning Igbos voted massively for Abiola despite the fact that an Igbo man was Tofa's running mate. It was also an Igbo man that damn the consequences under Military rule that told him to stop the election result collation and he refused and released the results that showed Abiola won, he didn't listen to the military government, he damned the consequences but still Yorubas turned around to lie that Igbos never voted for Abiola even when the results are clear for all to see, that's one.


The same Igbos voted for Obasanjo in 1999 and in 2003, Ikemba Ojukwu that Igbos so much cherished came out, Igbos shunned him and voted Obasanjo again. Every Nigerian condemned Igbos that Igbos don't like each other, that Igbos are not united that that's why they can't produce President that a whole Ojukwu came out and they couldn't vote for him and instead voted Obasanjo a Yoruba man.

2007 came, Yaradua came out, Rochas was on ballot, Chukwumereije was on ballot, Igbos voted Yaradua a Fulani man.

2011, Goodluck an Ijaw man came out, Igbos voted him.

2015 Goodluck came out again, Igbos voted him and he lost.


2019 Atiku a Fulani man came out, Igbos voted him and he lost to Buhari.

Every Nigerian kept saying 2023 is Igbo people turn that they are supposed to produce next President. As God have it, Peter Obi a very competent Igbo man emerged, Igbos massively ed him mostly because of his personality and secondly because Igbos believed it was time for other Nigerians to and back an Igbo man for President.


What happened? Yorubas turned around to tag Peter Obi an Igbo and IPOB Presidential candidate that Igbos are tribalistic but same Igbos have been voting every other tribe including Yorubas happily since 1993 and they were not tribalistic, but this one time they came out to a competent Igbo man, Igbos became tribalistic.



Now to dispute the fact that Yorubas voted Peter Obi. Yes some well meaning Yorubas voted for Peter Obi but Yorubas didn't give Peter Obi the deserved they ought to have given him based on how Igbos have happily voted and voted for Yoruba candidates starting from MKO Abiola to Obasanjo. How you may ask?


Southeast has just 4 states in 1993, MKO Abiola won Anambra and the other 3 Southeast states MkO didn't win, MKO Abiola scored over 45% of total votes cast, meaning he got More than what he needed to win as President in the Southeast despite contesting against an Igbo running mate to Tofa.


In 2023, Peter Obi only won Lagos which is a cosmopolitan state comprising all Nigerians with massive Igbo population.


Peter Obi didn't even get 15% in Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun states the core Yoruba states. Meaning Yorubas rejected Peter Obi and voted Tinubu their son despite knowing that it was not supposed to be Yoruba turn after Yorubas got MKO Abiola, for Obasanjo twice, had Osinbajo that was just leaving office.


See, Igbos are the most detribalized tribe in Nigeria when it comes to politics if check Nigeria's voting pattern since 1993. But you guys made it look like Presidential election in Nigeria started in 2023.



Anyway, God alone knows the truth.


God alone will avenge and reward us according to our deeds.


Let's continue on the paths we have chosen, nature and God will do justice when the time is ripe. You guys will my warnings and messages here one day, let's pray it won't be too late, have a blessed day

I don't know why you are too emotional about this, Igbo have not had a desperate candidate at presidential level that's one secondly don't ever think people (Nigerians) will vote for a candidate because he's Igbo. I tried as much as I can not to go into tribal arguments, I can't count how many insults I have received from Igbo on and off social media because they thought every Muslim and non Igbo are anti Obi even though some of us invest more but that's by the way, 'election don '

But on a general note do you think you stand to have a better life if an Igbo becomes the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? The north ed Buhari for 2 consecutive time, please what can you pinpoint as their overall benefits to the masses in that region? Has security improved? What about education, health sector, foreign investment etc? What was the overall benefits? What about The Ijow man (Goodluck)? Bayelsa, Delta etc range high in poverty index, oh! Now it's Yoruba man, please what can you pinpoint as overall benefits pls?
Look at America last election, Trump was desperate and hard on his opponents. Pray that someday the in di Igbo will get a ruthless and desperate politician as presidential candidate otherwise, I fear the story will always be the same.

It was religion that favoured Obi-Datti during the last election 2027, that may not be the situation next time, Obi is a typical of Goodluck example both are not suitable for our corrupt and hostile political environ.
The evil and corruption in our electoral system and our society contributed to this.

franchasofficia:
lol

Our God is able.


He said he will put a sword of enmity among the sons of those that persecute us so that they will fight and slaughter themselves before our eyes.


You cannot continue to use federal politics of tribalism, religion, thuggery and killings to persecute and destabilize a particular region and believe that all will be well with your house and region forever, life does not work that way. Nature and God have a way of paying us back for all our evil ways here on earth even before the judgment day.



Yoruba men of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s were wise, they followed the path of peace and wisdom, avoided unnecessary gangup and religious extremism and Yoruba land witnessed peace and progress.


But Bola Tinubu came with his desperate style of politics that encourages dangerous tribalism, religious division, hatred, thuggery, killing, extreme voodooism and whatnot and Yoruba youths of our time followed him and thinking it is the best style of politics that will help them outsmart, outshine and outdo Igbos in Nigerian dirty politics, yes they are succeeding now as Tinubu managed to foist himself on Nigerians using Lagos state stolen treasury, but the future will tell, time will reveal if this dirty politics of extreme tribalism, religious division, paying of political idiots and sycophants like Reno Omockery, Wike and co will pay off.


Time will tell

You are not in anyway different from those you are castigating, you said "Yoruba youths" have you forgotten that many Yoruba men and women campaigns and voted for him? Some took a very big risk especially in Lagos, or have you so forgotten that Obi won in Lagos and got some significant votes in other SW states while Obi won 4 of the 5 SE states? Politics anyway is a dirty game, worst in Africa. I'm not Igbo and SE is the only region I have not visited among our 6 regions but this type of your write up is so, so discouraging.
One thing you failed to it is that all our politicians are evil and highly corrupt. I voted for Obi-Datti because I considered them less evil not because they are completely different, do you even put the Yoruba-Christians who largely voted for him due to APC MM ticket? Your narrations shows if given opportunity you will do worst in tribal bigotry.
I know some Yoruba people carried tribalism on their head just like many, many Igbo people, Hausa or northerners are not so different, the only mild region in of tribalism is the MIDDLE BELT, the 3 major tribes rubs shoulder to shoulder when it comes to bigotry. I plead with you to develop more diplomatic means of winning people to your party or for your candidate(s)

I wish you a great week ahead

Irony1:


I think you got this wrong. The post is about Niger and not Nigeria.

What's the difference, Not the same African leaders? Whom learnt the game from our evil elites

just2endowed:


The dude reign might soon be over. Once the islamist terrorist over ran Niger, the next thing to do is to render northern Nigeria useless and ungovernable since sharia is what the terrorist want. Probably the sokoto caliphate will fall and crumble. It's just a matter of time. The unrest and threat of these extremist in Niger Republic is a wake up call.

And I wonder why ecowas didn't use ecomog to fight this islamist in sahel and northern Nigeria?

Will they allow ECOWAS fight them

wifeesnatcher:
No threaten Yorubas in your enclave location

Come to Oshodi, ikorodu, ikotun, Agege, iyanapaja

Come to abk, ijebu Igbo, ijebu ode and threaten us if you won't see your back at the back of your head


Motherfúcker sharia rubbish is not a debate in Yoruba land, anyone caught practicing that we hate himself here

SalamRushdie:

Instead of the northern sultan to bother about this issue, it's sharia in the south that is his problem

Hello, the US fighters for resources. Same ISIS works for them. They use them in Syria. It’s just an excuse to milk the nation.

The sultan of Sokoto, the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslims, has condemned the military crackdown against the Islamist Boko Haram sect.

"We cannot solve violence with violence," Mohamed Sa'ad Abubakar told a meeting of religious leaders.

The Boko Haram, based in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri, says it is fighting for Islamic rule.

It has been behind recent assassinations of prominent figures and a wave of bombings.

Two years ago, Nigeria's security forces brutally suppressed an uprising by the sect, destroying its compound in Maiduguri - the capital of Borno state - and then capturing and killing its leader Mohammed Yusuf.

Instead of disappearing, the group, which opposes Western education and is fighting for Islamic rule, re-emerged last September and vowed to avenge its leader's death.

Last month, it said it had carried out an attack on the headquarters of the Nigerian police in Abuja, which killed at least six people.

But the response of the security forces has led to criticism from rights group and the governor of Borno state.

Correspondents say many residents of Maiduguri are now more scared of the army than they are of Boko Haram.

"That problem can never be solved by drafting soldiers into cities where there is [a] problem - and in the process innocent lives were lost," said the sultan, who once served as military officer.

It is the first time the sultan has spoken about the Boko Haram insurgency.

Muslim clerics who have criticised the sect have been among those targeted for assassination in drive-by shootings over the past year.

The sultan also said the five policemen who have just gone on trial this month for the killing of Mr Yusuf should not be given bail.

Boko Haram's official name is Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad, which in Arabic means "People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad".

But residents of Maiduguri, where it was formed in 2002, dubbed it Boko Haram.

Loosely translated from the local Hausa language, this means Western education is forbidden.

Boko Haram sees such education as corrupting Muslims.

Nigeria - Africa's most populous nation - is split between the predominately Muslim north and largely Christian south.

chopnaira:
I have one humble request President Trump. 🥹

Please help direct some of those bombing to ISIS ISWAP and Boko Haram strong holds in Northern Nigeria. That should help keep the poke nosing Sultan busy for a while

If foolishness is not your problem, you will know that their will be no one to beat the drums or celebrate the corrupt politicians if the fools you call leaders or efcc "shiaman" do their Jobs they are paid to do.

Go & use the brain Allah gave you

Hungry?

DatNiggaDaz:


This efcc "shiaman "is a big fool. How many of the corrupt politicians have you successfully prosecuted ?

He is now blaming Nigerians for his incompetence & failures

This fool & the other fool, the so called igp should be court jesters at the palace of the Emir of Illorin

Clowns from the parapo Clan

I think you are more foolish than Mr chairman.
Before our very eye victims of elites fraud, drum and dance to celebrate them from north to south no distance

EnkayDezign:


My point exactly. ‘Woke’ as a term originated from the African-American community as code speak for being awake/aware of systemic racism in the US but ever since the Obama istration - which angered the white racists - they have hijacked that word to make it seem like it represents immortality or deviance. Now, they use it to target the largely black/minority communities which happen to be mostly liberal and democratic, politically.

As a good example; try asking - if you’re in America - any white person that uses that word to explain it to you. You’ll quickly find out that they will never give you a straight unemotional response because they either don’t know what it means or they just know that it has racial connotations and therefore have no qualms using it, especially when they’re angry.

......Now, they use it to target the largely black/minority communities which happen to be mostly liberal and democratic, politically.


See, immorality is immorality nothing more nothing less. Is same sex, extreme liberty a character not to fight either within blacks or white? Your defense is baseless if the borderline for condemning immorality and any other form of this century woke depends on skin colour

EnkayDezign:


This is the reason African-Americans hate us Africans. How can you not understand that white supremacists and republicans are using the word ‘woke’ as a racial slur against black/minority people? And here you are repeating the same nonsense after being brainwashed by right wing fascist talking points.

I hope I'm not the only one that doesn't understand the message you are trying to . Do you mean desire for modesty is wrong? Is "woke" not a thing to be ashamed of? Especially among Africans?

WriteerNg:


US tested Nuclear weapons last year. Try to do your research before arguing.

Why does Russia need to attack NATO country? What do they have that Russia needs?

Does any NATO country have any mineral resources apart from Canada?

What land do NATO countries have? They have nothing. Finland and Latvia depended on Russian investors and tourists to survive.

Small lands, no resources, no strategic value. The only reason why the US added them to NATO is to have numbers when confronting Russia.

Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe after Russia. With more resources than the other NATO countries combined. Plus a strategic position in the Black Sea.

China & India & Iran & North Korea will fight for Russia. Don't delude yourself.

They understand that they'll be next to be targeted by NATO after Russia. Plus they all share a common hatred for the west.

What do you think all those strategic defense pact Russia signed with them last year are for?

Not all NATO countries will fight for the US. Many will declare neutrality as soon as the nukes start flying.

India hates the west more than Russia does. For dividing their country and colonizing them for decades. The west split their country and gave their mortal enemy Pakistan nukes.

What APC has done to this country is devastating. Now our youth can't even think rationally anymore.

Leaving fires to chase rats

Oga! Nigerian corruption transcend APC regime
It's same politicians since 2020, they only change uniform (party) nothing more, that's why no sector nor state can rival any first world 🌎 country states

musicwriter:
Nothing was given to you.

they own the Dollar and it's used globally. So, what they do is that the US Federal reserve bank will print so called money (which is nothing but printing paper to them) and spread it across the world to entice governments. Don't worry, the government will pay back in other ways.

Imagine the Nigerian Naira was used globally. What the CBN would have done instead of printing the new N1,000 notes that's everywhere now, would be to print Naira, then spread the money across the world through so called aid.

If ALL the countries that receive the so called aid from the US reject it all at once, the US will go bankrupt.

Please how old are you?
So you think a country can just decide to be printing money, right? And China, Russia, north Korea etc would just be watching USA without opening multiple Money Printing Press across to their country.

2special:

Okay, thanks
