Northern Nigeria: Always viewing the leadership of Nigeria as their birth right.
Even if he might be making a point, the man should just go and sit down. He has lost the moral right or integrity to make any national discourse.
Very powerful and highly reasonable post. Obasanjo should have played these roles long before now. He is, as today, not only the most unacceptable and disrespectful individuals but also most irrevelevant person. Any contributions from him, especially, on national issues, are regarded as dust.

Here we go again,

1. Question - What is the motive?

Answer - DIVIDE AND RULE

2. Question - What is the weapon?

Answer - RELIGION

3. Question - What is the medium?

Answer - The press/electronic media.

Nigerians of these days are wide awake.

All we are asking is good governance and I dare to say
that for once after a long while, governance in Lagos state
became the reference point for governments in this country
and is still the government to beat.

Just my opinion

[quote author=curiouses post=27484573]OBJ said the obvious. Any party, be it the rulling party, that fields Muslim-muslim in Nigeria is bound to loss. That's why the idea of Buhari/Fashola, as good as it is, can not work for APC. [/quot

There is little Fashola can do in Aso rock." Nigeria nor be Lagos; Aso rock nor be Alausa.

Let me digress a little-
Here, you contradict yourself. You claim Fashola succeeds in Lagos ONLY because of the resources at his disposal, but there's little he can do as president, where he has access to far more resources?? It goes without saying that if you're faithful in little, you'd be faithful in much. Lastly, by whatever indices performance is gauged, Fashola has acquitted himself decently at state level. This is much more than can be said for a host of other governors and even the president.

My end point is that OBJ as a so called 'Christian' president failed to protect the rights of minority Christians in the north. The leadership qualities we require in our leaders should be competence and good character, not their religion.

Regarding what Obasanjo said about Muslim-Muslim ticket, I think he's just doing his part as a PDP member to support his party. It is only the PDP that has been using this muslim-muslim as campaign.

Now, for as I know, the Yoruba people careless about religion. It is only the people of SS and SE that shout muslim-muslim will not work. Also, the APC has little or no chance in winning these regions because the party itself is condemned and branded "Islam party". We all can remember why Ngige Did not clinch the seat in the last gubernatorial election in Anambra.

If APC is looking to remove PDP from presidency, Buhari/Fashola is APC's best shot. It's not about asking the question of what happened to other 80million Nigerians, the other 80million Nigerians are not as popular as Fashola and cannot boast of the same achievement as that of Fashola.

Okay, now it is no longer about vision and betterment of the nation, it is now by religion?? PDP should stop inciting religion and let the people vote by choice, not by religion. They should stop stirring religion for good!

Why should any sane party use religion as campaign? It is only a useless party with no vision for this country will do such. That is why we have ended up with the so called Ph.D holder up there. I'm sure Obasanjo chose GEJ as vice president based on religion, and as we can see, the country has been in total mess. Doesn't that tell us that religion will get us nowhere? Have we not seen the result?

Nigerians must choose between good governance and religion. Until then, we may never achieve much as a nation.

NOTE: Fashola is not a northerner, and his Faith has nothing to do with his ability to deliver. We have always been subjugated and oppressed by our leaders who capitalized on the deceptive policy of divide and rule, they either play the card of religion or tribe or clan or catchment area or region. When are we going to wake up and realize that the best way to the top is "equal opportunity for all" All sectors and ministry have been bastardize by the use of factors like those highlighted earlier. My people are enslaved by ignorance, hence it is difficult to decode why religion shouldn't be the criteria for deciding a leader. Please visit a public school and you will discover the source of our illiteracy and ignorance.

I made this statement few days back in response to a nairalander who said religion is not important in electoral matters


"Religion is important, that's the point. If people could change political parties like "undies", why can't they do same with religion?

An Ibo man will never become the governor of Oyo state; it is not bigotry; but a fact. Nigerians will never accept a muslim-muslim or a Christian-Christian or a Hausa-Hausa or a Yoruba-Yoruba president/vice-president.

You can't tell me that a muslim-muslim combination like Buhari-Fashola is the best a country of 160million people can deliver?

Where are the over 80million Christians? Is Fashola better than All?

Fashola is Fashola because he has access to a state like Lagos with so many multinationals, productive people and of course, large resources. The fact that other governors in states like Ekiti, Jigawa, Kwara, Ogun, Katsina aren't making headlines in Lagos based TV channels do not signify failure in other states. We need to get these facts right.

There is little Fashola can do in Aso rock." Nigeria nor be Lagos; Aso rock nor be Alausa.

Lol. People saying religion doesn't matter don't know anything about Nigeria. Those people saying that (religion doesn't matter) have probably not even traveled to villages and small towns and heard what people have to say.
In terms of development and moving forward as a country, truly, religion shouldn't matter but as long as this Nigeria of present is still together, then you can be rest assured that it is going to matter a great deal to the unity of this country.

Was the North not instrumental in GEJ clinching the presidency? If your neighbour behaves like an illiterate because of a lack of education, must you join him in behaving like one? It is not in doubt that southern Nigeria is more sophisticated politically and more liberal than the North. Are you now going to think like an abolish cattle herder, an aboki manicurist/pedicurist, an aboki shoemaker or an aboki water seller because you want to play tit-for-tat?

What real benefits have the years of Presidents/Heads of State of Northern extraction brought the average northerner?

If the APC presents A Muslim - Christian ticket, bigoted Christians/Muslims will still vote GEJ for dumb reasons. So it does not really matter who the APC party presents it is more about a set of people whose hypocricy know no boundary and are only concerned about personal good not the good of all.

APC should please present the most competent combination of Bushari - Fashola and allow the good people of Nigeria put to test the might about religion in this country once and for all.

The problem of Nigeria today is not religion. It is sad to hear elders of this land promote such. The average Nigerian on the street does not care about the religion of the man that put food on his table.

Fashola can't be better than all in my opinion, but I'm yet to see one better than him right now, I bet you can help name a few cos I'm a Christian and I will like to hear about ONE, just ONE.

"Fashola is Fashola because he has access to a state like Lagos with so many multinationals, productive people and of course, large resources.
The larger the size of a class the more challenging it is for the teacher, I don't know if I got that analogy right.

The fact that other governors in states like Ekiti, Jigawa, Kwara, Ogun, Katsina aren't making headlines in Lagos based TV channels do not signify failure in other states. We need to get these facts right."
The only fact we need is the numbers, and trust me they hardly mislead unlike personal opinions. Fashola is not the first governor of Lagos, how's that for another fact.

"There is little Fashola can do in Aso rock." [i]Nigeria nor be Lagos; Aso rock nor be Alausa"
I'm afraid you can't say that, cos you don't know that.

Even tho I thought you didn't deserve any reply, I'm sure you must have heard about this Chinese saying "The journey of a thousand miles, starts with a step." If APC presents Buhari/Fashola, it'll be based on Vision, Performance, Achievements, Etc and Popularity which cannot be neglected. Not based on religion as the PDP is doing which is killing the country.

You should make use of your brain and stop being vacuous.
