Deep Sight: Man stop being ignorant... I asked you a simple question, you didnt answer it - tell me any northerner or yoruba that can win SS or SE votes if GEJ contests. It is not about Buhari mr man, it is about the sentiment of SS and SE folks. So, stop saying it is had to sell Buhari to SS and SE. Can you sell GEJ to NW or NE? I am a westerner and you are not - I was also here in south west during the 2011 election. We knew what happened - ACN backed out of Ribadu's candidacy few days/weeks to the election. It was glaring to everybody in south west and the reason Ribadu didnt get much vote here. In Osun state where ACN needed to make assertion that ACN was in control after the installation of Aregbe, ACN campigned there and ensured people voted for Ribadu - Osun state was the only state won by Ribadu. People in the south west hoped for the merger but when it was glaring that it wont work due to clash of interests, everybody here gave up. And many people didnt even vote in the presidential election as a result of this. Check the total number of people who voted here compared to the number people who registered to vote. |

Wadeoye: This is why Nigeria's luck ran out eons ago. You've written off SE and SS, because, according to you, you're the majority ethnic group in the southern hemisphere. Dont let Lagos population fool you. This is a new Nigeria, its no longer the one "you" operated in 70s through 80s. The Nigeria "we" [emphasis on 'we'] have now is the one "minorities" have found their voices and will never be taken lightly. It'll be nice to see how far "your old Nigeria" will go with Igbo majority, SS, and some middle belt minorities already counted out. Think about this: What if GEJ wins again? What if GMB wins but GEJ rigs and is declared winner? What do you think'll happen - nothing, nada, rien! Maybe protest in Lagos, violence in Kano and nothern Kaduna - end of the story. GEJ happens to double as mr president and son of the "oil" soil, remember that. If you push him too much or if he feels like hes been chased by "outsiders" he might unleash his "brothers" to shut the oil down and, bro, there's nothing you can do. The last time MEND was active remember how much oil revenue we lost? I guess by now you know who the boss is. There is a gigantic world of difference between reality and fantasy - fantasy here is simply counting out your paymaster or telling him how hes surrounded and outnumbered. But the reality is - he owns the wealth and he can turn the tap off at any time of his choosing. Mind you, I'm not in anyway implying SW or any other zone for that matter will die or decay once oil is gone, rather I'm saying once the oil is gone that "your" Nigeria you so much used to intimidate and outnumber others will go the way of exponential decay in matter of months. Now who's the boss! You or the man you outnumbered? If you're still in doubt as to who the boss is, ask why Boko Haram is still not paid like we did to MEND. For NL folks this is my take on GEJ and 2015. I think GEJ is a C-/+ leader. I dont think he has any serious agenda for Nigeria. However, if the other political parties field Buhari in 2015 then dont blame GEJ for winning again 'cause he will win. Buhari is more saintly than GEJ - that I believe, but electability in Nigeria political landscape does not and may never depend on one's degree of sainthood. We've been doing passi passi since 1970. Anyway, if the merger btwn CPC and ACN takes place and GMB runs against GEJ, lets assume GMB pairs with Fashola (have nothing agaisnt Fashola - he seems to have his head screwed right), its clear the outcome'll be combustible for the nation. Nigeria will split down the middle and anything can happen. 1 Like |

Wadeoye: Ol boy it doesn't seem that we are addressing the same issues. By the way, I wonder by what parameter you state that I am not "from" the SW. Lol. You must have a crystal ball. I do agree about the sentimental voting issue though. That was always the point, in case you didnt notice. That is the only reason why we would have to look for a "realistic" candidate, rather than a "worthy" candidate! Peace. |
Re: Realistic Options For Opposition Presidency In 2015? by Wadeoye(m): 9:31pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
Deep Sight: Then tell us the criteria that will make the candidate realistic. - Acceptability to SE - Acceptability to SS Acceptability of candidates to other regions is not important as long as the above two regions accept the candidate. So, GEJ is the only realistic candidate - no need to vote again. |

Sam_Ikenna: Your post would make more sense if you did not assume it is a foregone conclusion GEJ will run in 2015. He may not even gain the PDP ticket and may actually be given the treatment he dished out to Sylva regardless of any amount of Nigeria's money he is planning to spend to buy support. His candidate , that his pitch for the PDP ticket relies on entirely, could not even become Chairman BOT of PDP despite team GEJ having plenty of time to plan and initiate winning strategy. Ali, drafted in at the last minute and effectively a semi-retired and disinterested Politician, defeated the candidate of the sitting President embarrassingly to the extent they had to claim "deadlock". After that event, GEJ is now trying to mend fences with OBJ. If we were a less sentimental people, it will be obvious to many that events are already suggesting that GEJ will struggle to get the PDP ticket for many reasons and for the fact he has alienated many,many, many influential folks than is politically healthy. |
Re: Realistic Options For Opposition Presidency In 2015? by Nobody: 10:06pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
Y'all wasting your time here. GEJ has no strong opposition come 2015. - Boko Haram has destroyed the hopes and strengths of Northern politics, hence all northern politicians/candidates are ruled out. - I cant see any strong candidate from the south west who can shake GEJs faction - The south east will be supporting GEJ come 2015. - GEJ is from the south south, hence south southerners will give their loyalty. |

Gbawe: Yea, I agree, there's always a non-zero probability that he might be jilted by PDP power-brokers. Anyways, nothing is etched in stone. Whatever permutation we all make online is always going to be just online, you never know what and how the wind will blow, thats why I consider proponents of exclusionary politics as jokers. Like I said earlier, I have personally downgraded GEJ score-card. But if I were to be in Nigeria in 2015 and the opposing party failed to present a realistic and all inclusive challenger (assuming GEJ is in) then I would go for GEJ. If anyone is interested in having GEJ removed without much after-election doom, that person better make sure GEJ's base in SE and SS is contested. Leaving his power base in those regions intact while seeking to measure "the drapes" is pure fantasy. These two regions are arguably more sick of Nigeria than the rest, so when I hear funny folks say stuff like "we outnumber them" or "we count them out," I say ride on bro, but soon you'll go over that cliff. Nigeria is already drifting apart, needless to say exclusion will make it worse. Buhari sure will pull in lots of vote from NE and NW but will get zero in SE and SS - if thats not iron curtain I dont know what is. Too many people already feel bad about him and to make matters worse hes never, not for even a single day, tried to clean his image in SS and SE. In the last election he disregarded them, why? Even Awo, despite the fact he knew he was unliked in the East he still went to Aba and sought for their vote - Aba of all places, if you understand Aba you'll get my drift. Some parents lost their children during after-election violence in the north and, rightly or not, they hold GMB somehow responsible yet he never mounted any kind of high-powered image campaign down south to dispel the allegations. I know he said a few times he wasn't responsible but gosh! hes played into the hands of either bad fate or his opponents. Its either he cant sell himself or hes dismissive of others. Maybe he thinks only NE and NW will win him the thing, I guess now hes included SW as part of the axis that'll get it for him. Buhari may turn out to be the only unelectable saintly politician in Nigeria's History. I feel sorry for him. 1 Like |

Deep Sight:My take was that 2011 was very tight between GEJ and GMB. If not for the inflation of votes for GEJ in SE/SS and northern areas like Kaduna. I believe that GEJ would have won but would not not win enough vote for an outright victory and there would have been a run-off. If the same scenario happen in 2015 with a SW candidate for Buhari, the tipping point will be whether the northern politicians that rigged it for GEJ in places like Kaduna and Niger will be willing to do it again? And if GEJ rigs it again! Just pick up your passport and run, I predicts that might be the tipping point of the end of one Nigeria finally. |
Re: Realistic Options For Opposition Presidency In 2015? by try69: 7:13am On Jan 23, 2013 |
Eziachi: Do you know why it was tight? It was because most of the south and west voted out of sentiments. 1. It was a chance to have their own there. 2. People were fed up with thieving PDP but gave the excuse of "we are voting for person and not party". It was glaring that the people are frustrated with the system with the massive turn-out during the subsidy protest..It is glaring that GEJ's promise of fighting corruption is never tenable judging from recent happenings.. Picture this..2015 south-south campaign and oshomole(let's say the merger works and it's a GMB/fashola ticket) is speaking from the podium with likes of bakare and a host of other "good" men, how the people will follow..forget about the north, GMB has that on his palm..some of us don't seem to get the picture of what this merger will bring. Even GEJ's kinsmen are tired and want him out.. |

We need to also consider the governors and PDP stalwarts who influenced the 2011 voting pattern (and results) in the north - now that GEJ has effectively said "to your tents O Israel" and watched\allowed BH decimate the north with the JTF becoming almost more unpopular, I doubt any northern politician who has plans for his head will tacitly or otherwise support GEJ! Fear of the reprisals from 2011 will likely keep most Christians in the north from going to the polls as well! Put soldiers in the booths & with what we saw last time, even they will be scared to allow thumb-printing as was done last time! Violence aside, the same will likely pan out in the SW! And if the Dokubos etc continue at this pace, GEJ may end up in a ditch in places where he currently feels secure! The only thing that can change this (from my point of view) is GMB not entering the race! Knowing PDPs desperation, I have wondered a few times if we won't hear of assassination attempts on GMB |

For the opposition to win, assuming gej contests, they will need GMB and a VP from either SS(Rotimi Ameachi) or SE(Ngige).The above combination resolves the issue of muslim-muslim ticket. I dont see the point of Fashola as VP; as other regions may read it as a backdoor to power for the SW after 8yrs of Obj, would rather see him as a possible Senate President. Jonathan cant win the SW with ACN govs in place and neither is his VP a south westerner and GMB will beat him in the north. The opposition will be making a very big mistake if they choose to ignore both the SS and SE, as I dont see how you can beat a man without attacking his strong base. |

Sam_Ikenna: Very well articulated my brother Ikenna. The bolded is also very spot on. As your rightly noted, the potential for the return of militancy in the creek, and serious agitation for secession in the event of exclusionary politics is very high. Having watched the North embraced GEJ administration with terrorism, I suspect the least the SE/SS will do is to revert back to sabotaging the oil industries and by extension the economy, or outright secession depending on how whoever succeed GEJ chooses to play. It was easy to steal Niger Delta oil in the past with impunity due to obvious circumstance. These days, these thieves must necessarily put on a thinking cap. If Yorubas think it will be easy to gain access to the presidency via the backdoor by supporting someone as tainted as buhari after giving obj just a few years ago, well, they are welcome to try! |

Sam_Ikenna: Look, you are still making the same mistake by going off tangent again and disregarding the points others make perhaps to satisfy a need to frame things around your outlook. An outlook you would see is inconsequential if you only focus on what others are saying instead of trying to smuggle an SE/SS or ethnic perspective into everything. Also, I really don't know why you are mentioning Buhari here. My original point made was that GEJ may not get the ticket because he has to defeat the Northern caucus in the PDP to gain it. It is looking unlikely to me right now. GEJ's failure will simply mean the PDP will present a Northern Presidential candidate. The mega Party will do the same. Nigeria will get a Northern President, whether some like it or not, and nothing will happen because the stage at which the ordinary Nigerian cannot complain of 'rigging', i.e internal Party election, has been used to cleverly take GEJ out. That is what is likely to happen in my opinion and everything you say here would then simply appear superfluous to issues and rather vainglorious. We are not at the stage where you should start dragging the SE/SS/SW or North into any obligatory regional responsibility/role. We are at the stage where all politicians from all regions, even if processes are tainted with ethnicity, must be respected to churn up their candidates. We have no say in that stage of issues and it may take GEJ out. You need to make that distinction otherwise you will continue to talk of things that don't matter now and may never matter or come into play. This is the stage to just watch what the Parties are doing instead of getting ahead of ourselves. 1 Like |

Gbawe: Lets do justice to what you wrote and maybe, just maybe, we'll see who's trying to outsmart who in Nigeria's political brinkmanship. You wrote this: Gbawe: What, according to you, "others" are saying or point they're making which, in your view, I "disregarded" was that come 2015 GMB/Fashola are the only hope of defeating GEJ. I guess if I had bought into that okie doke I would be considered a "patriot" or detribalized Easterner/Igbo by GMB/Fashola die-hards. You said that I mentioned Buhari and smuggled in SE/SS. Well, I ask - is Buhari no longer relevant to the 2015 anymore? And for SE/SS being smuggled into the debate, what about those "others" who, I assume, are aligned with you politically and are, unrepentantly, calling Igbos "Igbos" and GEJ "retardeen?" You think thats not ethnic agenda? Come on, we're not fools. I called this whole thing "political brinkmanship" for a reason. And for clarity, I didnt smuggle in SE/SS ok, those that cast their 2015 political preference on the evil alter of exclusionary politics did, not me. Again, you wrote this: Gbawe:To the above I say - yes, its possible for GEJ to lose PDP ticket but one would be a dummy to wholly bank on that. And for the records, there is no Northern Caucus, what you see is, primarily, NE/NW caucus so if I were you I would not rely too much on the word "north." Again what seems to have been lost in this back and forth is the fact that incumbent president will be extremely difficult to defeat under our current conditions - whoever fails to realize that is either a fool or a noise maker. To defeat GEJ, the challenger must create a formidable coalition that cuts across all political power-blocks. Any objective reader here can see the cheerleaders of GMB/Fashola has decided on the blocks they need to kick GEJ out. Just to cover all case scenario. Even if GEJ fails to clinch PDP ticket he's still free and financially capable of running under a different party. He's the president, he's got the bully pulpit and he can milk it for all its worth which you and I know will, if he gets 95% of SE/SS, spell doom for Nigeria. One of your statements above reads "Nigeria will get a Northern President, whether some like it or not, and nothing will happen," I'll be waiting for 2015 to remind you of your "declaration." If you ask me I'll say Northern president in 2015 is not feasible unless, of course, you mean NC. On this: Gbawe: I would say this - You wrote well but the issue is - do we really practice what we preach? Are we telling others to calm down while plotting to take them out? Where there's alliance there's a counter alliance. The offsprings of men and women who made it through 1966 -1970 must and should be cautious of people who're gathering and chanting "Igbos" while unapologetically pushing their kinsmen forward. Below is my food for thought for you: The fate of Nigeria lies in the hands of GEJ come 2015, try and remember that. 1 Like |
