it's not in the constitution... Yes! But if you don't practice zoning by your common sense, the country will divide because presidency will always always be coming from only one region that lack the competence to move the country forward and the sooner it is introduced into the constitution, the better because like the Soviet Union, there may not be Nigeria again in the future.

Lol…these politicians with their short memories…when other tribes left the field for you and Obasanjo that year you no talk all these one ooo

NB: I’m yoruba

...and you think they can always win if they don't have collaborators here?

Meaning; north shal rule Nigeria till..

North restructured Nigeria politically through its soldiers, created too many states/political constituencies in the north.
It doesn't matter from where a president comes from, north shall be in majority and control of the president.

Chief Falae there is no section of the country either at the state, LGA, or even in the remote village that you don't have competent hands. Having such rotational post lessen friction and give sense of belonging to everyone and thereby engender peace and harmony among constituent components of the Nation.
Yes, it's not in constitution but there are unwritten law for the purpose of fostering love, peace and tranquility. If we continue to shy away from such important issue that can keep us together, we will continue chasing shadows. There's even need to include it in our constitution to strengthen our togetherness and sense of belonging because of the Nation configuration of dispersed population, which gives advantage to one section against the other.

Neither is there provision for nepotism and reforming boko haram terrorist into the system.

Stop being clever by half

And so? Yorubas and betrayals are like 5&6. This is not what we want to hear at such a time as this. It should not be coming from him. His is not tired of being a slave in his own country?

richiemcgold:
but in this Nigeria's situation where issues of zoning have always constituted serious problems for our major parties, why can't we make it a law and settle this raging matter once and for all?

heterogeneous country like Nigeria can't do away with zoning, that's the fact. I was actually expecting this to be considered in the recent electoral amendment act.

if they try to make it a law some parts of the South will collide with the North and kill such bills because they feel they are also benefiting from the divide and law system.

What a pity

With or without collaborators.

Ogbonaya Onu of APP had to step down for Olu Falae who was a candidate of a regional party (AD) in 1999 to ensure only the South Westerners contested for the Presidential Election.

Today, Yorubas have refused to respect such zoning by allowing South Easterners to contest the presidential election only.

You are very correct sir.
However the eastern part of the country has agreed that you and others should rule yourself.. Wetin hard for there...Rule yourselves na

Is that zoning to you?

Your useless idiotic elder statesman benefitted from the same zoning in 1999. The fool will tomorrow advising for peace to reign. I blame the few Igbo one nigerianists that are still believing in the shithole called nigeria.

gaby:


Useless cretin suffering from the Stockholm syndrome.

Elders wey don use your entire life and future play okoso and 10/10 finish.

Idiotic slowpoke who can't reason for himself..

Na tissue paper populate that your skull.

Goat

Undisputed deranged mofo, a condom could have prevented this but the old man who could not afford it also failed to use withdrawal method, hence the world is witnessing gargantuan foolhardy.


And I won't blame you for not having Elders at home, I blame those who rescued you from a heap of rubble where your moma dump you.

Pikin wey no get sense and still no wan buy am.

Bar1941:
Perhaps the reason Obi Pandora Japaaaa....

Imagine having a chicken hearted person like Obi as the president, is he still going to be talking and acting like a woman like he used to be? That attitude even reflected on the manner he crossed over to LP, a party he knows even if he contests for Anambra governorship under, he can not win. No....we need a man of action as our next president.

I hope you don't reason like this in real life sha, cos omo people around you dey try.

Ari sense fa

you should be ashamed of yourself that with all your education you accepted military decree prepared by 14 generals as Constitution.. who are the constituents....

a useless document from military Juntas

What is the difference between zoning and federal character principle?

More reason why it must remain in the north until una get sense and stop thinking you are smarter than anybody.

This man is just backwards and has been politically sidelined for long . His words holds no water.

When it comes to the south there'll be no provisions for zoning, but for northerners there's always a provision for everything

Since there's No provision for Zoning in the Nigeria constitution, governance vis-a-vis socioeconomic development has not favored the Southern part of Nigeria. For Equity and Fairness sake, it will be nice to include it into the constitution, so that the six (6) geopolitical zones of the country will, in turns, produce a president.
If I have my way, and to be considered for inclusion into the Constitution, governance or leadership should be "A Term of Six (6) years" from each zone. If it is done this way, No Zone will feel cheated.

There is also no Quota system in the Constitution
