Too late to shed crocodile tears. What did you do when a PDP leader was calling the APC a yoruba amala and ewedu party in anambra? You were seated there urging them on as they ridiculed awolowo. His spirit gave you a taste of disgrace to come when you visited a great university named after him, as the students chanted and called you and your cohorts thieves. Where's our lagos-ibadan expressway? Is it now you want to repair all the junk federal roads in lagos? Oh, you suddenly realised that the votes from SS and SE can't help you retain aso rock so you now. need those of the SW. I thought those 2 regions were the pillar of your government as you proudly announced to the world as if they were the only regions you that got you elected. Even if they were, should a president be making such divisive statements? I was never a tribalist but you woke up my tribal conscience. We are glad tambuwal became the speaker cos we yorubas aren't fools. That seat was a bargain for the huge political relevance we are enjoying today. Who doesn't know that having a yoruba man there via the fraudulent PDP zoning would have favoured you and only you as he would do your bidding just as the senate has been doing? The Mulikat you wanted to install is from my constituency in ogbomosho and I was on ground in 2011 when she came begging to be re-elected as she shared N500 notes to the people and dropped a transformer too weak to carry the load of the neighborhood. Her brake light hasn't been seen since then. That's enough to show you that you would have just empowered an individual yoruba instead of the whole of them. What did patricia etteh and dimeji bankole benefit the yorubas? They only enriched themselves. Your government enriches individuals only. We are not like fools who sing your praises cos you gave their tribes men political posts. What we want are developments. Am glad you failed in installing mulikat cos we would have faced the kind of thuggery the fayose you gave federal backing is delivery to the ekiti people. I hear you are bringing obanikoro for lagos. Bring it on! Why do you associate yourself with thugs, fraudsters, drug barons, militants and looters? Mr president, you disappointed not only the yorubas but also sane nigerians. We voted massively for you in 2011, am sorry to say this in tears: you won't have our votes anymore.

My people use to say,'when a grasshopper is dripping oil,while being dried for eating,the grasshopper will be saying,wow,am full of oil'.your statement above depicts lack of self-truth.
If you think that,north riding on you,to become president,is 'political relevance',then you should wake up Awolowo,and ask him the meaning of 'use and dump'.

Let me give you something to think;
Should Gej get re-elected in 2015,he will determine who succeeds him,and of course who will deputize his choosen candidate.And of course,its gona be Middle-belt/SE. What it means is that,you and your people,have NOT started crying.
In as much as am not stopping you from crying,let me give you something to go home with,and you are free to qoute me anywhere;
As long Febuary election is concerned,it is "a win or break" election.

how did patricia etteh and dimeji bankole favour the yorubas during their tenure as speakers? GEJ is only regretting that he was never able to raise his boy-boy to that post as tambuwal is giving him nightmares. We don't need posts, we need development.
Then why are your people crying marginalization?.
Why are you people grandstanding to deputize a northern Presidential candidate?.

Ok
Re: I Regret Not Having A Yoruba As Speaker. Jonathan by Pedagogue: 9:08am On Nov 29, 2014
GEJ chose the wrong audience for his harum-scarum comment. I will explain.

1. Yorubas do not really care that the present Speaker of the HOR is not Yoruba.
if GEJ has forgotten, I will remind him. Dimeji Bankole was massively rejected by his ppl in 2011. Of course, Yorubas, especially his constituents, knew that a return to the HOR for Bankole means a return to the Speakership seat. But what did they do? They rejected him.

2. It is arguable that Yorubas are far more politically wise than any ethnic group in Nigeria. They know too well that politicians use the 'ethnic' and 'zoning' card to benefit themselves and their families. After all, what did Bankole and Etteh do for them than the offcut record that they were Yoruba Speakers?

3. GEJ was subtly trying to get at APC for not supporting a Yoruba Speaker. But Mr. President, that political sentiment can only work in the South East/ South South where ethnic bigotry is so much entrenched. I am sorry if anyone feels offended by this. Sadly, it is the truth.

B) Perhaps GEJ has also forgotten that Mulikat Adeola was d candidate of the Patience Jonathan led presidency...and that was the MAJOR reason Tambuwal lost. If the man (cnt remember his name) that had been endorsed by the S'West PDP had not been forced to step down for Mulikat Adeola, Tambuwal would have probably lost.

4. GEJ has never been pretentious about his dislike for Yorubas. The facts are there. If I have the time, I can open my very first thread on NL to justify this assertion. But for now, can you quickly race your minds down to his many comments on Lagos; the way he derided elected Yoruba Governors as "rascals" (can he describe Gov's in d East/S'South or Northern Governors that way?) etc

5. If APC are to be blamed for d loss of the Speakership position, then GEJ has finally confirmed his incompetence. His party/had/has the majority in the HOR. So who's to be blamed for not using the PDP machinery to produce 'his Speaker' ? It just does not make sense.

6. Assuming APC is to be blamed for truncating Mulikat Adeola's ambition, are they also responsible for the third class positions GEJ has given to Yoruba in his govt? Out of all the ministers from the S'west zone, only Aganga (Edo and Lagos) and Johnson (Ondo) have 'moderate ' positions. All others are Ministers of States; relegated to the background. His kinsmen & women are occupying d. most significant positions; Madueke, Petroleum (Bayelsa) ; IWEALA , c. economy(Delta); Onoemelen , Works (Edo) ... I can go on and on.

GEJ chose the wrong environment:
The Great OAU.I'm a proud alumnus.
To OAU undergrads: tnx 4 telling GEJ d TRUTH via your boes and peltings.

A president under whose watch Universities were under locks and keys for 6 months deserves that treatment...A president under whose watch all Federal Polytechnics were shut for 1 full year deserves more than that!

Lol, Jonathan is a joke. I guess he forgot who he is talking to, we Yoruba can't be fooled by this nonsense. The emergence of tambuwal portends more advantages to the Yoruba nation than a speakership that will serve the purpose of a drunkard and nothing else. He expected us to play the short game and lose in the long run? Jokes.
Is it because of the promise of Vice president?.lets see how it works!.
