But who does the crown fit among the Igbos?  After substantial analysis, we succeeded in narrowing down the candidacy to the following potential aspirants, drawn from both within and outside Nigeria. For a globally recognized ethnic group, the Igbo need to shine their eyes carefully in this matter. After substantial interviews across Nigeria, we succeeded in narrowing down the following people:      Dr. Ogbonnia Onu.  Onu cuts across as an ideal candidate for a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction.
