The attitude of a typical Igbo person to politics has to change as long as South East remains part of Nigeria. The Igbo person would often remark about focusing on his or her business or trade whilst leaving politics to politicians. To the point of abstaining from voting. THREAD.
That mentality was entrenched because during military rule and 16 years of democracy when economic policies were nationalistic and wasn't targeted to disadvantage of any group. Also the capitalist, free market ideology of PDP made it seem like their businesses were insulated.

"Ohanaeze has no objections to all Igbo in the North returning home so long as all northerners in the SouthEast would leave the SEast and we dismantle the federal structure imposed on us by the military and return to autonomous."
Why is Buhari bent on causing conflagrations? 1/
“The nepotism exhibited by this Federal Government, her duplicity of standards in law enforcement, her undisguised Fulanisation policy is repugnant to the rule of law and good governance. We will no longer tolerate any further threats from these northern war mongers." 2/

Buhari believes the problem of Nigeria at the moment is the elites which is parochial. Elites is defined as "small group of powerful people who hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, privilege, political power, or skill in a society." He equates elites to the political class.

For those who have not read @atiku's interview with @AfricanReport, here's a synopsis. The talking points. Find the link to the full interview on his twitter handle. THREAD.
PS: My views are infused but are glaring though wherever they appear.
He's introduced as boisterous, full of life, not shy to speak about his vision and plans. He's not the campaign promise-esque politician, he talks policies. He is interested in systems (deregulation and privatisation) and structure (restructuring). Buhari is bland. Lacklustre!

A thread on Twitter influencers that would've been dancing naked at the $26b Baru illegal contracts if it were GEJ, NASS or Diezani.
Omojuwa - Calls NASS despicable names. Diezani gives him ecstacy. But since Baru, he's considering deactivating his Twitter account.
