As undemocratic as zoning may seem, it promotes equity and fairness to some extent. It appears to be the easiest way most minority ethnic groups would ever have a taste of power in a country filled with greedy, selfish and self-centred politicians.

Corporate2020:
Ofcourse sir.

Bit when AD zoned it's Presidential ticket to the South West and gave you in 1999, you idiot did not say this sir

Meanwhile sir, have you returned the money you illegally collected from Goatluck Jonathan?

A party can decide only men can join if the constituion doesn't say otherwise.

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.

One big stout for you. You be correct man bro.

God bless ya.

I concur

True talk

Honestly suprised this man thinks he can still form elder statesman. The man even chop alone with that money

There is no zoning in APC construction , the party that has it in Thiers , it's bitting them now

Ofcourse sir.

When did AD zone it's presidency to southwest

Politics day. See all the whole thread on nairaland today

Make i go watch movie until until madness finish. Back later tonight

Hatred/Religious/Tribe... Then church mosque tomorrow people everywhere... Frustrated mofos everywhere meanwhile those idiots ontop they use una cashout

Dead country. Abeg give me Biafra

I tire oooooo!!!! The constitution, country, resources and politicians all belong to the Nigerian people. If zoning makes us feel better in terms of equity and sense of belonging , then ZONE. The yam is ours and so is the knife (at least that is how it should be)

But truly in Nigeria, there has never been a time when somebody from the 3 main ethnic group at least has not contested under one party or the other. So if we want to mention convention there has never been a precedence. You can give me an instance if you have one

GboyegaD:
No one says it is a written constitution however, it's some form of convention in the past for ease of selecting the party's candidate. .

fergie001:
The elder Statesman is correct.

He is very wrong it is very bad for an elder to decieve it's youth

If we can not Zone then the North will continue to occupy the presidency seat...I hate when elders talk FOOLISHLY

Yes it is not in our constitution but was verbally agreed

Zoning should be something done rotational Meanwhile Watch this video below

Old age, abeg go siddon jor

Is there a place in the constitution where being a Nigerian is by force?

Lols.....there is no provisions , so what we will do is to make sure the tribe in the seat of Power continues to produce President for Nigerians....

Hope is ok like that Sir?

What is preventing Nigerian's from fixing zoning in the constitution?

Are we counting other parties that come up during elections to get proceeds from the country or we are referring to the two parties with structures?

It's a lie.

There is no difference between federal character and zoning

Since when did Nigerians and Nigeria begin to use “the constitution”?

Useless constitution the useless judiciary system cannot uphold.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrantus NONSENSICUS!

You agreed with him in the bolded and that's the authority as a Country we abide in.

You can see the statement when he said you can agree, but you cannot impose.

Please, tell me your State of Origin I want to see how religious zoning is in your State.

But there is federal character. Stupid people.

Some of these so called elder statemen are the ones causing confusions in the polity.
It is a known fact that the nations demography favours the north. This is one of the undue advantage our colonial masters bequeath them from ab initio. Having this in mind, do we then yield the rulership of the country to them due to their fraudulent numerical advantage, hence the gentlemen agreement if rotational presidency.
Chief Olu Falaye should pls be mindful of his words. Or will it be ok to ask him to update his pay master that the nation belongs to us all.

RealLordZeus:

You can request NASS members to change the Constitution, that's the only alternative.

Until then, Baba Falae is right moreover gentleman's agreement is allowed and the PDP has been implementing that for some time.

gaby:
Confusionist elder statesmen.
E be like say na age don dey affect all of una which could be understandable.

I'm sure no one has ever claimed this gentlemen's arrangement brought about by the multi-ethnic position of our country is simply to enshrine and encourage a sense of belonging amongst the varying ethnic groups and regions.

Yes, it isn't particularly stated in the constitution but you were okay with it when it benefited you to represent an attempted placation of the SW region against your SW brother OBJ upon MKO's deletion.
Nonsense and ingredient double-barrel mouth old men....

Original 2Face

Gay-byel or Mr. Gay as your name suggested. If you don't have elders at home, didn't they show you sculptic pictures of your ancestors to know who an elder looks like. Basttards

ogbuefi677:
The Yerobber 2facedness in Falae is talking.
Ogbonnaya Onu won APP presidential nomination but had to step down so this same Falae will emerge as d candidate for the AD/APP alliance, is that not zoning already?

When you make a sacrifice as reasonable as that of MKO, then we might just consider you. As for now empty noise is going no where.

There is no provision for many things in the Nigeria constitution.....even the local government not to mention its over advertised autonomy.



The Nigeria constitution, threshold on which the country can be liking to a scam.
