[size=20pt]If you were in same position as the North with the agreement reached with the clueless one, would you have acted differently?[/size]


Even the South rejects Jonathan as well!


The North rejects him for going back on his agreement of one term only. If found in same situation as them, I will take similar decision.

We the Yorubas reject him on the basis of performance and for calling our leaders rascals smong many other blunders.

The Itsekiris and Urhobos reject him for allowing Tompolo to trample on them and for marginalization.

Other well meaning Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion reject him for corruption and sbsence of security in the land.

The International Community rejects him for being so clueless and incompetent which has made us become a laughing stock in the committee of nations.

The voice of the people is the voice of God.

I agree with you and people like me wouldn't have supported this stance of the North if not for the agreement. It will be a fraud to have an agreement to get a favor and turn your back when you're expected to do your part. That's crude!

There is a clear difference between Buhari's statement and an agreement entered into by Jonathan to do one term.

The difference is that Buhari's was a statement never based on any condition. Jonathan's was premised on a condition. Something like "if you do this for me, I will do this for you in return".

So he entered into a proper agreement that if the North supports him to be president, he will do one term and the presidency will return to them. And he is morally obliged to fulfill it. Just like me telling you that if you come with me, I will buy you a dinner. If you indeed come with me, I'll be morally responsible for your dinner.

Can this same meaning be made from Buhari's statement? No.

Hope I'm clear.

And on that of speaking for other regions and tribes you must understand that the statement is just what it is. It doesn't mean all Yorubas will vote for Buhari just as not all Christians and south-southerners will vote for Jonathan.

BedLam:
Good one! At least Tompolo has gotten some cannons. By January the drones will arrive. It's heated already. Let's see what would be left off this country. .

pro2010:

The more reason you should be worried, Buhari strong hold used to be only in the North, but with his adoption by APC and backing of the Chief mobilizer in the south west, Jonathan should be sweating. The south south ,Jonathans stronghold has a small population and they not all in support of him. I really would like to see how Jonathan will win this one.

emmykk:
The south west are intelligent people,they will vote Pres.jonathan come 2015,2011,2007 and 2003 records are there to go by.


The middle belt don't like to be called north,this area will also vote pres.Gej.

Pres. Gej is confident that he will win.

bushdoc9919:
No, the North does not need to produce the President.

And for that matter, neither does the South.

The above call by the Arewa forum is symptomatic of what is wrong with this country.

In Nigeria, everyone believes that if your brother is in power, everything goes easy for you. Indeed decades of underdevelopment in the North are blamed now on the fact that the North does not have access to power now. No one blames the governors , the Local Govt chairmen, the State Assemblies and the National Assembly for developing a policy of sustained investment in technical education, scientific education and industrial development that would have led to a prosperous and developed North and middle Belt.(And no...going back to groundnuts and cotton won't save the North....no more guaranteed markets for such products).

Instead of asking for Power and power....the Arewa must instead prepare for a future without them holding power at the center. Yes...it means them getting a lemon....but they can get lots of lemonade from that lemon.Invest in your people....so that we can talk of a Super Power industrial North in the decades to come.

And the same goes for the South too. Let us all no longer concentrate on gaining power at the center....but on empowering our peoples. That should be the job of the Nigerian Leadership....developing all parts of Nigeria into an industrially powered syncytium....rather than fight wars over how oil money is shared....and sadly....PDP and APC have no idea on how to do that. Better they get the ideas fast.

He actually did when he came to Lagos to campaign for his first term elections. For a president, he has an unbridled tongue. Not like I liked the then ACN, but the #1citizen of Nigeria shouldn't stoop that low to exchange insult just to win elections.

This is actually the genesis of the insults he keeps getting from SW. You earn respect and its also reciprocal.

He was also present when SE politicians were insulting APC, Yoruba and Pa Awolowo. The fact is dt our President's body language, actions and inactions tends to divide us along ethnic and tribal lines.

God bless Nigeria!

TheMan3:
This is the problems with some Nigerians, the no region of Nigeria has a birthright to power, we need to leave politics of ethnicity, we are all Nigerians. I am from the south, I may vote for buhari(not decided) , not because he is a northerner, but because of what he has to offer. Let's leave ethnicity behind, it's has never helped us.

Tompolo, Asari, Clarke, GEJ and Buhari, ACF should all be summon to sign a document to be taken to The Hague if there is any post election violence either in the north or SS/SE.
I agree with Prof. akinyemi on this.

I'm a christian from south-south, i love GMB and supporting APC for change but i hate tribal, regional and religious based politics. This dirty man that look like vulture should go and sleep.

poseidon12:


And you think that Buhari, with the likes of Tinubu surrounding him, will excel? Most of you that will vote APC at the center will regret after 4 years of massive corruption and same non performance we are experiencing under GEJ.
The change we need is in political restructuring of Nigeria. Otherwise we are just wasting our time.
A Buhari regime would drag us back by halting the economic transformation that is taking place now. He would obviously cancel privatization of power sector and refineries. He obviously will fall out with Tinubu and his group and them some of you Tinubu fans will come here to complain after being sidelined by power hungry northern elites who are desperate for power.

Going back on his promise Did buhari not say he won't contest anymore

A clear case of kettle calling pot black....

Has GEJ performed to expectation i would say NO but lets not be hypocrites when pointing out facts...Plus alot of your above claims are "fallacious"

I don't remember you becoming the spoken person for the above tribes/regions you listed, by stating they rejected GEJ...
