baybeeboi:

am not goin to say what PEJ said is right nd i dont want to agree with you that having 4wives and lotsa children is best for any of us.
It's not all about votes,how about the poverty level up there,you don't think the population contributes?

agakeem:
It's so pathetic that someone like Kwankwaso who is gunning for the presidency, could pride himself in Northern supremacy over other ethnic groups, although I agree with him on the fact that GEJ's wife was too garrulous, but Kwankwaso believing that Northerners can do-and-undo is what I don't like about that statement. Moreover, all the presidency they've been getting all these while, leave the North in nothing but perpetual poverty. Kwankwaso should remember that the North is landlocked, because ships can't sail on the Niger. So therefore he should stop uttering statements that will dis-unite Nigeria. Thank you.

Mutuwa:


Tell me where in nigeria that poverty has not cut across?is it only the north?

RUBBISH! INSTEAD OF YOU OLD PEOPLE TO CONCENTRATE ON DEVELOPMENT, YOU ARE SPEWING TRASH ABOUT INSULTS. EVEN BEFORE THE "INSULT" WHAT LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT HAVE YOU PROVIDED FOR YOUR REGION? GO AND SIT DOWN ABEG

noblezone:
Hahahahahahahahaha!

Some of us knew it was all about the North!
They are the owners of Nigeria and the leadership thereof!

Abiola's election was annulled because he was not from linage of the "Kings"!
They handed over to OBJ as a compensation to the Yorubas!(To do one term and hand over to them again._
OBJ bulldozed his way into second therm and was even gunning for the third.
OBJ subtly released it to sick Yaradua an it landed almost free on Jonathan.

The North got angry and trusted him from all angle.

With the deception of progressive-ism, some many people have been deceived.

I laugh at the "progressives" down South!

Have you people heard?
It was all about the North!

barcanista:
Wow, so it was all about power shift to the North and not about development and performance? Instead of Kwankwaso to uplift and ensure that the scourge of Almajirism is put to an end, he's boasting how the Almajiris donated 2m votes. He forgot the 3 million underaged voters. Rubbish!!!!

eagleeye2:
I guess this doesn't count as "chest beating"? But if the same statement was made by someone from the land of the rising sun, every other person will be up in arms against him.

Haahahaha..Poorest region in nigeria u say..little wonder why kano,kaduna and jos have more igbo population than the entire south east...

You Can't Insult Northerners and Stay in Power -Kwankwaso;-

Kano state governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso on Monday spoke on why President Goodluck Jonathan lost re-election.

According to DAILY POST, Kwankwaso said, ''He (Jonathan) didn’t know who is who in this country; he was just looking at faces and those who were dressed very well. He meets them at the airport and he smiles and says ‘these are good people,’ he sits down and listens to gossips, ‘oh this man is bad, this man is good in so so places’ and sometimes he doesn’t even know the names and at the end of the day he made a big mistake by picking the wrong people.

''Our leaders who were in this game before us, those who were in the 1st Republic especially, told us so much about our friends in this country and if you happen to come from South South, where they were very close to our leaders, they had done everything possible to work with that part of the country. But of course (Jonathan) misused the opportunity to the extent that many of us felt that with him there, we have no future as a people and as individuals and that is why we had to come and organise ourselves to defeat him.

''Look at what the wife was saying that northerners were bearing children and throwing them away. How could you say that to northerners? With due humility, we are masters of the game. You cannot stay and insult us and get away with it. Democracy is a game of numbers, whether you are almajiri or professor, everybody has one vote; that was why we went back and put almijiris together to get about two million votes.”

No amount of hate speech known to u Igbos will make us sway or quiver, we are winners in dis alliance, its a win Win for both SW and the N.

You should ask yourself why ur region and ppl will not continue to be irrelevance and useless in d Nig polity, kicking against any progressive moves base on ethnic and religious hatred, only for u to com begging for juicy positions.

Buhari will complete the Niger bridge as u requested, and hand d FCT minister's slot to u.

Awon oponu.

eaglechild:

Don't get angry when someone says that Igbos are majority in Kano, Kaduna and Jo's.

You said it yourself.

eaglechild:

You say the North and SW are the winners yet they lag behind the in virtually all the MDG goals.

I don't want that sort of empty victory.

QuotaSystem:


Read the statement again, slowly this time. Your anxiety to engage in empty chestbeating has disgraced you. That's what you get for relying on exam malpractice in the SE.

adesammy1:


Please what did the yorubas gained from the so called south south governance

QuotaSystem:


You did it again, what kind of illiterate are you? Didn't the N + SW alliance just happen? How can you expect to see the impact in a report written for a preceding period?

eaglechild:

I am not the one engaging in empty chest beating here.

Rather it is you and your folks who claim to call the shots.

What i feel for you is pity instead.

Because your region is ravaged with self hate and destruction. Boko Haram etc.

They have the lowest indices in all forms of human endeavor as buttressed by the latest MDG achievements.

I think you should focus your energy on improving the lives of the common people in your region

QuotaSystem:



Keep quiet, I have been to Aba, Onitsha, Awka and Abakaliki and I have seen the level of underdevelopment and poverty there, so I'm the last person you can fool with contrived figures. Under whose administration were the millennium goals supposed to be achieved? Is it not the same way Nigeria is touted to be Africa's largest economy based on released figures, but what's the reality? Smh. What makes matters worse is that you had an eastern President for 6 years yet the east and SS are still as undeveloped as ever. Kidnapping, baby factories, unemployment and crime are rampant all over your region, yet you all wanted the country to continue to suffer. The North is getting it's act together after decades of military rule, you will be pleasantly surprised at the efforts being made already, and that will be made under the new administration.

eaglechild:

You are not doing yourself any good by living in self denial.

That is what your exploitative oligarchs have been feeding upon.

Rise up and ask them questions and the North will be better.

The MDG stats was not collected by a SEasterner.

You say the north is getting itself together after military rule. That is so laughable cause, the rule was by northerners.

The SE and SS suffered near annihilation and wanton destruction just some years ago and they have left you behind.

That should be food for thought m

Mutuwa:
No be lie mr gov.she was indeed stupiddd and irremarkable for wisdom.she thinks having 4 wives and lotsa children is unfortunate.?let her count the no of votes in kano,katsina and kaduna.

Nobody is saying there aren't areas of improvement, stop pretending you are in any better situation because of empirical figures derived from a deficient sample size, did you read the methodology of the research? Even you know those figures don't remotely reflect the reality on ground. The North still parades a virile middle class and an imposing upper class (Dangote, Dantata, Danjuma et al.) as well as inventors and intellectuals that are often overshadowed by our huge population (in any population, the have-nots usually outnumber the haves) and our quiet nature. Don't be deceived.

QuotaSystem:


That's because this is not an empty statement, the North has the numbers to remain in power indefinitely if it chooses

eaglechild:


You have still refused to accept reality.

The north has a dysfunctional wealth distribution.

There is an overwhelming number of people leaving in abject poverty.

Then there is a hand filled number of super rich folks who are mostly a direct beneficiary of the corrupt military regimes.

Your people need to wake up and aspire to be more than pawns in the hand of the super rich oligarchs.

ahaz:
my brother am happy the truth is gragualy surfacing and I thank d idiot of a governor for reminding we southerners that the defeat of gej was a victory for the north and not the south. We southerners never knew that we just dug our own grave by allowing them have their way. The north has seceded in bullying us to submission nd proving it to us that they can do anything nd get away with it. Today they did it to gej a s. S man tomorrow it will be a yoruba or an igbo man. This people killed Nigerians through boko haram, through the fulanis they boosted of it nd yet they got power. Funny enough some of us re trying to justify this statement but we never knew we re directly throwing our weight behind the Norths exceses nd we must not cry wen the consequences of our stupidity starts staring us in the face

eagleeye2:

I guess you are referring to Almajiri numbers.

eaglechild:

You say the North and SW are the winners yet they lag behind in virtually all the MDG goals.

adconline:

After all elections, almajiri will go back to his street begging and waiting for govt handout or BH application, the man with one wife has a greater chance of training and sending his kids to school and lifting them from working class to upper class. Wake me up when that Almajiri becomes Sanusi unlike Soludo whose dad didn't even know LG HQ. The rich are getting richer while poor are having more babies thinking that strength is number. Italy with 60m population is richer than India with over 1bn population in norminal gdp
