Diligence: I applaud you for the sane way that you just marketed your candidate. I wish a lot more people would learn from you instead of being abusive, selling the candidature of one's preferred candidate requires advocacy and persuasion; not being abusive to other people and their candidates. 2 Likes |

Deadlytruth: I did not assume that you are yoruba and did not mention that anywhere in what i wrote. In the last 22 years of democratic rule we have had non competent people in power. Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari are certainly not Nigeria's brightest minds. In an ideal world, decentralization ,devolution of certain powers ,resource control ,true federalism or confederal government are absolutely neccessary for Nigeria to grow. Nevertheless, facing the reality on ground and the peculiar Nigerian current situation, in the interest of equity, justice and fairness...an easterner should become president. It will help calm a lot of things. 1 Like |

otipoju: Obasanjo's becoming president wasn't done in pursuit of fairness or equity to Yorubas but done by the Northern Oligarchy in cahoots with their Southern Collaborators mostly from the SE and my own SS in pursuit of perpetuating themselves in power and protecting their hold on the national treasury sustained by resources of the Niger Delta. If it were about fairness and equity towards Yorubas, then common sense dictated that it is the candidate whom the Yorubas themselves wanted, i.e. Olu Falae, that everyone should have supported to power back then in 1999. In fact Obasanjo was chosen by the Northern Oligarchy and supported by the SE and SS for the very fact that he had a rich dossier of anti- Yoruba antecedents and was sure to further perpetrate same if given power. So by what logic do you conclude that the choice of him was aimed at doing justice, equity and fairness to Yorubas? You can't claim you were doing justice to Yorubas over June 12 and then pick an enemy of June 12 as beneficiary of that Justice. It simply doesn't make sense anywhere in the world except in Nigeria where abnormality and normality have switched roles for long. Yaradua was chosen by Obasanjo not in pursuit of any equity, fairness and justice towards the Fulanis in general or the NW region, but as a compensation to the his family for the Abacha Junta murder of his elder brother who was his old friend in the army, his deputy as Military HoS and with whom he served in Abacha's gulag. So it was all about Oligarchy interest which him, the Yaradua family, some Yorubas, Igbos', Middle Belt people, Edos, Urhobos, Efiks, etc all belonged. The Oligarchy is pan-Nigerian in composition. Jonathan's presidency was not in pursuit of any justice, equity or fairness to the Niger Delta common man because: 1. It was accidental on one hand as it was sure Yaradua wouldn't have ever allowed him succeed him had ill-health not truncated his tenure. You could easily deduce this from the fact that Yaradua never officially transmitted power to Jonathan in any of his trips overseas even when he knew such trips would keep him out of the country for a time longer than the minimum number of days of absence for which the constitution required him to hand over officially to Jonathan. 2. On the other hand, Jonathan's presidency was seen as an act of God by which God himself wanted to divinely intervene not in the plight of Niger Deltans alone but in the plight of every poor, oppressed, suffering and downtrodden common man in all parts of the country given his humble background and his equally ordinary personality as against all his co-aspirants who had been members of the Oligarchy directly or indirectly since independence. But unfortunately, Jonathan wasted that opportunity as he turned his back on the masses after getting to power and began tto prioritize the interest of the very oppressor Oligarchy, so the spirit of God left him and he fell. Buhari's rise to power wasn't about the need to do any justice, equity or fairness to the Fulanis or his NW region as Yaradua who came before him was equally a Fulani from the NW as himself. Rather Buhari was supported on certain credentials about ideal leadership for a Nigeria working for everyone which he unfortunately failed to live up to just like Jonathan. Based on the foregoing therefore, I find it difficult to find meaning in this premise of rotational fairness, equity and justice on which this Igbo presidency demand is premised. Get it clear, I am not against Igbo presidency even though the Igbo rule of Aguiyi Ironsi derailed us from the initially working Nigeria into this dysfunctional one through his Unification Decree which destroyed the very structure we now ask for . In fact there are one or two intelligent and honest Igbo persons who have admitted that Ironsi destroyed Nigeria, thus can be trusted to actually bring about the new Nigeria on our lips through a genuine commitment to restructuring. What I am however against is this emotional blackmail that everyone should just cave into Igbo presidency project just because they have to be placated like it was done to Obasanjo on behalf of Yorubas, Yaradua and Buhari on behalf of Fulanis, and Jonathan on behalf of Ijaws when in actual fact we know that Obasanjo and Yaradua were the choices of an Oligarchy motivated with the desire to retain power and resources of the country within their family forever. Like I already said, the Oligarchy is pan-Nigerian in composition, so let it give power to any Igbo member of their family and call it compensation to Igbos' over the Biafra genocide against them, and that will make more sense than this theory of equity, justice and fairness being used to insult our sensibilities. 3 Likes |

Okwyjesus: Quota system is a fall out of the centralization of powers, resources and opportunities by Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igbo man, through his Unification Decree. Recall that before that decree, each region built and run their own Universities, e.g. University of Northern Nigeria with campuses in Zaria (Now ABU), Jos (Now Unijos), Sokoto (now UDU), Maiduguri (now Unimaid, and Kano (Now BUK) which were all controlled and run 100% by the Northern Region Government alone which also decided their admission criteria without any input from the office of the Prime Minister. Likewise, University of Ibadan and University of Ife (Now OAU) were founded, funded and administered entirely by the Western Region Government which as well set standards and admission criteria for them. Same with University of Nigeria Nsukka founded, administered and funded by the Eastern Region Government which determined its admission criteria. Under such a scenario, the government at the center couldn't dictate or impose any policy on those universities because the Independence Constitution simply forbade it. But once Ironsi came and Whittled down the regions' powers through his Unification Decree that gave over so much powers to the center in his rather strange pursuit of national unity, the stage became set for the federal government to start making uniform policies binding on all these universities. Quota system, educationally disadvantaged states and catchment area were some of such policies. For example the educationally disadvantaged states policy goes like this: In a federal University like University of Portharcourt now: if a person from Edo State seeks to read Geology meets up with the cut off mark, and a person from Taraba State seeks to read the same Geology in the same Uniport but falls short of the cut off mark by, say, five marks; the admission is given to the Taraba applicant because his state he comes from has just one university which can't accommodate all them over there while the Edo person is rejected because his home state has about 11 universities. But the question is this, was it Edo State that stopped Taraba State government from setting up universities all this while? This is how Aguiyi Ironsi laid the foundation which only gave too much powers to the center to kill merit by making uniform policies for everyone in every aspect of our national lives thus limiting the potentially resourceful and gifted person to the same level as the dull and unintelligent person. So why are Igbos now crying blue murder over quota system? 1 Like 1 Share |
