I wonder if GOODluck Jonathan will change his name to either TOUGH-luck or BAD-luck after this. ![]() I'd admit that the name "Goodluck" is comic relief (what a name lol) - Tough-luck won't be a bad idea. Missy89, Come in here - I want to read ya supreme analysis of the elections: the biggest winners/losers in terms of power-play; if anything changed in terms of voting pattern; what Nigerians should expect; and where you think this will put Nigeria in the international scene. Anyway, the hero has to be the Jega man for being brave enough to announce the winner. That man should be knighted for his bravery and steadfastness - he's a warrior. 2 Likes |

Below is one of the reasons I concluded PDP is an agglomeration of drunk clowns The president’s campaign did what it could to try to discredit Buhari, but in a haphazard fashion. One day Jonathan’s people would accuse Buhari, a Muslim, of wanting to introduce strict Sharia law throughout Nigeria, the next they’d insist he wants to legalise same-sex marriage How could the horde of jesters not see the contradiction in their propaganda? 3 Likes |

SirShymexx: Most of the old Political/Business elites will still be in charge but they are now being supervised by a more observant and less corrupt president. (The billionaires are paying homage already) It is a good thing. I am expecting APC to do much better and they can now see that it may only take time, but they can loose power too. SW votes was a stalemate as far as i can see it. The difference wasn't that great (Its a good thing because it can still swing anywhere in future elections so the region remains relevant) and the SE on the other hand, almost killed their regional party with the alliance with PDP. Looking forward to the state elections TEAM LABOUR PARTY ![]() ![]() Jonathan's acceptance is a good thing for the country (Big Kudos to him. He's got a legacy now). Now we have a real democracy at least. My worry is that most PDP guys will decamp and render the party useless instead of regrouping and forming a strong opposition. we will see 1 Like |

SirShymexx:Now this right there is why I am so proud of my country. History was made. The revolution is on. |
Re: Analysis (GuardianUK): Election Of Muhammadu Buhari Is Truly Revolutionary by DollyParton1(f): 9:43pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
Missy89: We cant say he is more observant and less corrupt yet. He needs to deliver first. And no judging on his past glory. The only good thing about that guy is that he is not Jonathan. Right now, anything but Jonathan works for Nigerians. Damn my southwest people, was expecting an almost clean sweep by APC, especially in Lagos state. But then we tend to diversify our political preferences. Ekiti people got rice again or something. LOLZ.... PDP has been uselessss for a while, it just gets worse by the day. Now we look forward to experiencing that genuine and positive change. Above all, there is a revolution and history has been made. An incumbent authority has been unseated. |
Re: Analysis (GuardianUK): Election Of Muhammadu Buhari Is Truly Revolutionary by SirShymexx: 9:46pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
Missy89: Obviously, but apart from Tinubu and Buhari, the core of APC top-dons are still relatively young and not part of the old guards (Fashola and Amaechi). Those two old men should be gone in the next few years, and both Fashola and Amaechi are more than capable to take charge. I'd like to see what portfolios they'll get in the new administration, and gauge their performance(s). Elites are elites - they're part of every society - the real power-brokers. That said: I think SW did enough - and I believe they played it safe. PDP can be a good opposition party, with parts of MB, SE, and SS. However, it seems the SE controls the core of the party structure now - and knowing the SE's brand of politics about aligning with any government in power (trying to reap where they didn't sow), I see most of them moving in droves to APC. Thus killing off the party. Then again, for the country to have a proper opposition at the national level - it ought to be restructured. The current structure is too lopsided in favour of the North. Also, regardless, I'm not even expecting much from Buhari, to be honest. The ceiling for Nigeria based on how it's, is South Africa/Indonesia, in terms of development. Until the take power away from the center - and implement proper regionalism or confederation - they'll just keep perambulating, with no progress whatsoever. Hopefully, Buhari will improve the country's economy and security. I might start flipping and doubling my peez out there soon lol. |
Re: Analysis (GuardianUK): Election Of Muhammadu Buhari Is Truly Revolutionary by SirShymexx: 9:49pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
DollyParton1: Lol. Just pray those militants don't start blowing shiit up. I'm sure their lords are negotiating free-passage right now - and if they don't get what they want, they might unleash them. Anyway, the country still has a very long way to go, before it gets on feet, to even start walking. Too early to celebrate...but you can celebrate the end of the clueless one. ![]() |
Re: Analysis (GuardianUK): Election Of Muhammadu Buhari Is Truly Revolutionary by DollyParton1(f): 9:57pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
SirShymexx: Well, I am celebrating the end of the clueless one and the beginning of a new era, not in government per say, but within the Nigerian citizens. The unseating of an incumbent president. You need to be in Nigeria to feel the tension. If those militants blow up, Nigerians wont sit on their arms like before. Yea we are not there yet, but its a step forward. Still a long way to go, but its one step in the right direction. We will get there. Check my earlier post. |

Hmmn. It's not yet uhuru! The major problem that may beset APC right now is APC itself! Let's see how GMB deals with this. Else, PDP defectors might begin to retrace their footsteps back to PDP and take their chances, now that GEJ is out of the way. |
Re: Analysis (GuardianUK): Election Of Muhammadu Buhari Is Truly Revolutionary by SirShymexx: 10:38pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
DollyParton1: Lol. I don't need to be in naij - I've got my own shiit to worry about lol. Anyway, when I start flipping in naija soon, I shall employ you to oversee my conglomerate. What say you? Nigeria has a long way to go...I'm just interested in how Buhari will start off, and what his government will look like. Hopefully, they will find a way to get regional government in there through the back-door. SWerners should have negotiated that. Nigeria can't work the way it's now. |
Re: Analysis (GuardianUK): Election Of Muhammadu Buhari Is Truly Revolutionary by Nobody: 10:47pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
SirShymexx:Lol.. those overfed militants have tasted oil money, they are never going back to the creeks to fight... They have 2 options 1. Enjoy the share of loot they already got from GEJ in peace OR 2. Famz with the new ruling party like Dangote & Otedola have done. Then hope some govt contracts shows up... if they decide they take up harms, they ll be exterminated. I'm sure they are wiser than that |

SirShymexx:You needing to be in naija is a figurative statement. Naija is fine with her own shîťš excluding you. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Aint running no negro's conglomerate. Will be busy bossing on my drug empire. I aspire to be an international drug boss lady. ![]() ![]() Third paragraph is what am living for right now. Regional government is not going anywhere soon, in Nigeria. That's what makes a Nigeria. We are divided to our very core, although we put up a united front. |

DollyParton1: What type of drug, street pharmacist? ![]() Don't tell me you'll be shipping the "white lady" from South America to Europe via Africa - with the cartel. ![]() Overlapping interests would always stagnate the growth of Nigeria...so regional government or confederation is the way forward. |

one thing that was revolutionary is that POWER WAS TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE PEOPLE AFTER HELLISH PDP YEARS Nigerians now see how powerful they are. |
Re: Analysis (GuardianUK): Election Of Muhammadu Buhari Is Truly Revolutionary by DollyParton1(f): 11:05pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
SirShymexx: I will be bossing my own empire. Aint no one got time for the street. Actually, dream no 2 is to marry a drug cartel.... real dough lives with the white lady. It will take a while for Nigeria to recognise a need for change in that aspect. Thats is how the government operates and we are used to that. Plus those regions benefiting from it will vehemently kick against it. |

DollyParton1: Obviously, I don't take what you say seriously but that badonkadonk is hella serious business lol. Are you cool, tho? |
