According to political analysts, the South East has lost the opportunity of producing the next Senate President or the Speaker of the House of Representative in the Gen Buhari-led administration come May 29th. According to political calculations, anyone who is to occupy these positions must come from the ruling party. Since the number one and two positions have already been taken by Gen Buhari a Hausa man and Prof Osinbajo, a Yoruba man, the Igbos were favored to produce the third key official, the Senate President.
But with all the 15 senatorial seats in the South East states of Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu & Ebonyi won by the PDP in last week's elections, the Ibos may have lost out in producing the next Senate president.
Senator Chris Ngige representing Anambra Central senatorial district who many believe was being positioned by the APC to be the next Senate President lost his bid to return to the Senate to PDP's Uche Ekwunife.

Its so painful, we shall for a very long time rue this missed opportunity.

ReplyDeleteThe yorubas didn't occupy any in the outgoing dispensation, so I wonder what problem this one will bring to the Igbos.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you are just a tribalist. Pele o omo okoro. You people always trying to emphasize our tribal differences Does it really matter? Let the work get done.THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
ReplyDeletewill you shut up!! It matters!!! this country is still developing and growing and things like this are very very sensitize!
DeleteIts all rubbish, they are starting to marginalize us this early morning, they better take a chill pilll
ReplyDeleteAnd the Igbos will come up with their marginalisation theory now...my advice to them is to free their heart from hate, let go of whatever past grudge or grievances they have against this nation and just maybe things will work out. I'm from a minority but I don't even think about that shit cos I'm first a Nigerian, ethnicity means nada to me.

ReplyDeleteLik the north and yoruba are not tribalistic yet APC won in all yoruba state except ekiti and out of 19 states in the north APC won in 16 with such margin.my dear reason with ur heard.

ReplyDeleteThat's what you get when u play regional or religion politics. The SE people are so poor when it comes to politics; imagine PPA, APGA not able to win any senetorial seat and just common LP having one to herself. In my own opinion, I think people of the SE should just face their business cos obviously politics is not their call. Think Saraki from the Middle belt will be in nice position of getting it. Just imagining David mark and Ekweremadu being ordinary floor member in the house. Life tho...

Ibos have always stood on the wrong side of political history in this country. It's so so sad! They are a great people, but unfortunately, they have always got it wrong. My prediction is that as things are now, no Ibo person will emerge as President of this country in the next 30 years. Unless, unless they retrace their political steps and philosophy
ReplyDeleteToo bad. What a golden opportunity. Wasted tho.
ReplyDeleteWasted opportunity...
ReplyDeleteThe bitterness in d heart if the igbos no be here... but it has happened again, later dey will say dey are been marginalized. The greed of their politicians no gree make deir APGA thrive as dey av almost all deflected.

I guess it's shop business dat concerns d ordinary Igbo man sha...
ReplyDeleteEiyaah, they should give it to the south south then
ReplyDeletePresident is wat d Igbos want
ReplyDeleteI don't see any big deal if they pick a PDP man as senate president...that would show that they have ruled out any form of hatred or bad blood....but I know APC...they will never
ReplyDeleteShut up if u don't know ur constitution
DeleteI mean they should give it to south south Edo state.
ReplyDeleteserves the south easterners right, their politics sucks.....up Rochas
ReplyDeleteToo bad.
ReplyDeleteBukola sarai should be our next Senate President. Bcos we knw the role he play in these election.
ReplyDeleteSounds them right, next time they will learn how to play their cards well. Ike Ekweremadu should decamp as soon as possible that's the only option right now.
ReplyDeleteSo how is that suppose to expand my account balance? You guys should stop preaching division when a united course has been won. David Mark was Senate president for 8 years and his people benefited nothing rather the Nigerian Senate enjoyed stability which trickled down to the Nigerian people. So people should just give the SE and SS a break for performing their civic duties. After all the north has always voted for Buhari even when it was clear he was going to lose and heaven did not fall. The SE and SS voted OBJ as well as Yar Adua. So everyone should suck it up we have a depleted economy rebuild so that you and you and you will be gainfully employed. Now ya all should start bringing it on!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, you are the only sane person that has commented. Others are so foolish that they don't know that our politics have risen above region..APC should give us the change they promised. We don't care who is senate president or speaker or minister. We want our country to be better.
DeleteMake him clear him eyes or else we will take back our position which we mercifully gave to him
ReplyDeleteIt's just for a while....yorubas were not in the 3 key positions during Jonathan's administration and guess what, eyebrows were not raised.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteTruth be told. The SE sheepishly followed the PDP, voting against GMB in all the SE states in a glaringly vindictive manner. This was not a smart move at all. They've not only lost the opportunity to produce the next senate president, but a may also have made their quest for a SE president in this country a mirage, as they sent a clear message to the north by the way they voted in this presidential election. They forgot that a large chunk of the electorate base is northern. Loosing the support of the north and without a reliable alliance with the west, how can they garner enough votes when it comes to voting a SE presidential candidate in the nearest future? Even if the entire SS and SE vote for such a candidate it will still not match the numbers from the North +West. This may sound ethnic but it's the reality.In a democratic system, if U don't have the numbers U don't have victory. This was an opportunity in which the SE could have established a reciprocable support for the north but they missed it. They may insult me for saying this but it's a bitter reality. I'm an ardent proponent of election by merit and competence void of ethnicity, but election is only by ballots where numbers matter alot, and in Nigeria the ethnic factor hasn't dissappeared from the electorates decision equation.It shows up every in every presidential election overtly and covertly. Sorry, but I must say that the SE fell casualty in the 2015 presidential election battle between the APC and PDP.
Am Igbo and I have to say, you are 100% correct in your analyses. Most of us sold our birth to GEJ even when it was obvious he was not going to win. And even if he had won, many Igbos were so blinded by the past they refuse to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you don't support others, don't expect then to support you!
DeleteA few Igbos stood with Buhari though, but unfortunately they are in the minority.
I hope with this election, we as a people have learnt to leave our past in the past and look forward to the future. No-one ever moves forward looking back!
GEJ while he might be a nice man was not a good leader, not was hehe ready for the office if the president. He definitely was not in control, this fact is obvious even to international communities, but my brothers and sisters somehow thought wishing it makes it a reality.
Another thing, we need to understand that hypothetical theories are pointless if it cannot be proven in the court of law. Many of my people came here making noise about underage voters, these are not provable, and you have to know Nigeria to know that northerners have a larger population by far, so cheat or not in a number game, they will win if we don't have allies to help increase our numbers.
Another issue is that while many talk, a lot are ill-informed, and some of those informed display their complacency by not voting. If you don't vote, how do you expect to impact change?
Finally, my people need to understand that we are in a new era; well enough is no longer good enough. That you see the truth and refuse to speak it does not mean that others won't talk about it!
We can only increase our chances of joining the leading group again when we understand the new rules of the game and play accordingly!

Comment of two absolute douchebags. I'm proud of the Igbos anytime. Bring out an House man and a yoruba man and see if the hausas will not Vote their own. Mind you the igbos voted OBJ, yar adua and gej. Stop being fools and move on.
DeleteWatch out PDP is taking over Lagos. That igbo vote will count.
Delete@Anon10:29, one of the reason Igbos remained where they are today as far as Nigerian politics is concerned is becos they keep ur type of mentality, and failing to do an honest introspection and see how to make progress in Nigerian political arena. Sorry, their situation will remain like this until they have a change of mindset.
Delete@Anon10:31 If PDP takes over Lagos how does that benefit the SE ? Is Lagos ur state? Truly Igbos are politically backward.
Deletevery easy..linda u have not heard of decamping....it will soon start in droves
ReplyDeleteWe have never been bedfellows anyway. Nothing lost and nothing gained. We have always held the short end of the stick in project Nigeria. We never expected our traducers to give us fish but scorpion. We have always been in the trenches because of our differences.
ReplyDeleteI like it. We the Igbo's sometimes don't calculate well. They always put their eggs in one basket. Ngige could have been the potential senate president, anyways we have to stay like this till the next four years.

All I see is tribalism in every shit u just wrote. What the fuck does a Senate president do for you. You guys should just take several seats and let the igbos be. You'll sit in lagos and tell a man whose family has been wiped out by election violence not to panic. Anyways it will never happen to you because Nigeria has moved on now.
DeleteAs a matter of fact, that rash uncalculated move by the SE against GMB was simply a political suicide
DeleteThe drama just begin
ReplyDeleteThis political analyst is lousy at his job . Were there any Yoruba Senate President or deputy , Speaker of the house or deputy speaker in the Goodluck Jonathan's govt the East voted enmasse for ?? But now they care after winner has been declared . We all need to forget Tribal sentiments when it comes to politicians . That a politician is from your region doesn't mean he/ she cares about you . I'm Idoma and David Mark has been deceiving us for years that we'll have our own state - Apa state . All the while seating in Senate collecting $50million dollars in salary laughing at us as he looks to round it up to $55million by 2019.But he's my person and was Senate president I should be happy abi ??!!! Let's all vote for better leaders whatever tribe .
ReplyDelete$1million per year as Senator x 8yrs
$5million per year as Senate president x8yrs
$1million per year as Senator till 2019

What nonsesnse tribalism are u people preaching, assuming jonathan is from kano he wouldn't have lost this election, I dnt regret voting for jonathan and if I wil have to vote again and again I would stil vote for him #case closed#
ReplyDeleteIgbos were very silly during this election. You went to rally around a party that has never favoured you. They even rigged to defeat APGA candidates. Igbos are not politically smart. You are business smart but because of how divided you are, the rich are RICH and the poor are left to their own devices. Your Govs are horrible and do not develop your region. Your leaders make noise and then go and sell out to everyone else. Igbos need to wake up. Start smartly voting. Everybody can't be against you people. Please make una look inward and do a repositioning. Even the SS will have better chances than you guys. It is tribalism that keeps you guys grounded.
ReplyDeleteThunder fire your smelling mouth.
DeletePls shut ur mouth if u don't know what to say and if u don't know about south East.
DeleteI don't believe this.
ReplyDeleteTill buhari say so.
Is good for that ekwunife....abi she knows how to rig election....God pass them
ReplyDeleteI wonder why people are weeping louder than the bereaved. When the Igbos were voting GEJ (which sounds as if no Igbo at all voted GMB!) it was not because GEJ is an Igbo man. He is not. if he had won, the Igbo certainly would not have gotten the Senate Presidency either, and they knew that when they were voting him. I am Igbo, but cannot recall any good the 5 Igbo Senate Presidents we had during OBJ's era brought to the Igbo as a group. Please leave the Igbo in peace. I wonder why nobody is talking about the Niger Delta whose son just lost an election. Or is it a case of 'Igbophobia'?
ReplyDeleteMy fellow South Easterners miscalculated (like they always do In pursuit of self interest) but not to worry, the APC is a party of wise men and I'm confident what needs to be done will be done. As for the few Igbo who accurately read the times, stuck out their necks and dared to look beyond their noses - Chris Ngige, Rochas Okorocha, my humble self et al - I see nothing but serious political bounty. 'Applicants' from the PDP and the rest are already queuing up...
ReplyDeletewhat is "Ibos"? And you claim to be an igbo woman. what a shame. smh
ReplyDeleteThat's what you get for putting sentiments in everything instead of logic. My brothers from that side need to wake up and get strategic politically instead of always thinking about tribalism or money first. We are all one Nation and so let's put NIGERIAN identity before ethnic or religious identity. I hope they have learnt something from this last presidential election.
ReplyDeleteGod guide and protect our new president and vice-president, Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo respectively.
Long live the federal republic of Nigeria,
God Bless Nigeria. Amen.
By the way, Linda, Buhari is not hausa...he is Fulani.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Nigeria. Amen.

DeleteStupid Nigerians. of what benefit is it for the Igbos to have the stupid senate president's seat.
ReplyDeletewhat's wrong with these stupid Nigerians. What do you think Buhari and Osibanjo will do for you because you are Yoruba or hausa. you are all stupid. Some of you will still find youselves kidnapped in Niger Delta when the game starts. Stupid fools
ReplyDeleteLinda, it is a very bad thing for an Igbo person
ReplyDeletelike you to spell the name of your tribe as "Ibo".

ReplyDeleteNkechi u are highly silly and dumb.
ReplyDeleteThe Igbos on their own placed themselves on political exile by their attitude in this last election. Common, it was like a show of shame, uncomfortable to see how much their vote speaks volumes about their dislike for GMB! It was so obvious that foreigners noticed that a particular section of Nigeria undisguisely showcased their non approval of him. They have taken their politics a hundred years backward and also revealed the fact that they are politically irrelevant with their votes. Rivers thought they were mocking Ameachi...now see. You guys were a mere sacrificial lamb for GEJs political bid at the detriment of the nation at large and now, he's heading to Otuoke. The gamble or sacrifice wasn't worth it, decorum should have been applied and now you guys will want to do want you know how to do best..."everybody hates us".
ReplyDeleteI am igbo man I want good 4 my country dats why I'm supporting gmb cos I believe he will be active more than jonathan so it's nt just about tribe, although we messed up by supporting a corrupt party pdp while apc was clamoring for change and we didn't grasp the change slogan
ReplyDeleteplenty plenty ignorance here.Igbo here Igbo there.An average Nigeria do not care where the next president,gov,senators or Councillors comes from,all they cares for are water
ReplyDeletegood roads,lights good health care in all corners of Nig whether in the west,north south east etc.
I am really confused on why this article is even titled this way. This thinking/mindset is what continues to take Nigeria backwards. Basically it should be said that the region is not represented, point blank period!. Each party works for its own agenda, it should never be broken down by tribe what so ever. Once Nigerians realize that outside Nigeria we are Nigerians, Outside of Africa we are considered black/savages/niggers we will finally unite and fight for one cause....but until then we will be looked at as SAVAGES who fight each other over who is who. You people should be ashamed of yourself! Maybe if you worked together as one and get the country together ya'll wont be stuck in Nigeria talking all this self hatred towards different tribes and get to see what is outside of compound!!!
ReplyDeleteRefusing to tell yourself the truth keeps U perpetually in bondage.
DeleteTHANK GOD THEY HAVE NOT KILLED US AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND. WE WILL VOTE THE SAME WAY AGAIN AND AGAIN. NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.
ReplyDeleteShut de hell up b4 I shut it 4 u, since de hausa's & yoruba's were presidents has ur life been any better than theirs? Ur still struggling with life & u claim 2 b better. My frd take several sits & leave politics , igbo pple r not regretting voting 4 Jonathan, we will stand by him till de end, we r not cowards. We know the north rigged the election 2 cos those mallams could not have gotten that number of votes with the so called card reader that judas Jega brought.
ReplyDeleteU can eat your cake & have it. 4 Nigeria's development, we must think above tribal or religious politics.
