AustineE1:

you are so pathetic,i didnt think some people are still this dull,you have forgotten that south-west once held presidency for eight years,yet i know a million and one of your brothers still scavenging for food in the streets of Nigeria,saddly same also applies to other regions.I would think that once Osinbanjo gets to the exalted post of VP,prices of food stuffs will go down in south west,fuel will be sold at 10 naira in south west and probably kerosine will be distributed freely to you,on the recognition of you being a yoruba.
Young man,if the only reason for the 'change' and massive support for GMB/Osibanjo in the south west is because you think you have the VP position,then we ve missed another chance to make this country better.....i hope to see you back in this forum in six months time,hoping at that time,your life and that of other people from your region would been better than the rest of other Nigerians.

Already we know. Actually it might end up as a blessing in disguise because now we have to look at ourselves in the south and ask if being part of Nigeria is worth it. Now we see that one Nigeria is just a fluke.

Already the results from the election has shown that performance never mattered. Ethnicity, religion and tribalism holds sway in the pendulum of power in Nigeria such thay we find ourselves subject to the choice of the largely uneducated region and the zone that likes to think of themselves as "sophisticated".

Apart from a few betrayals and judases which is perfectly normal I think there's a united view already on the future of the Niger Delta cum Southeast and it shall be actualised rather sooner than later.

Don't get it twisted. We are not ONE!!!

ZKOSOSO:
I testify that the OP is correct. Very correct!
I live long enough in the north to know how muslim north think on any issue.

Islam first.
Islam second.
Tribe third.
North fourth
Islamic brotherhood of foreigners fifth
Then christians/ southerners last and most hated except they are supporting them like amaech, oyegun, ngige etc

Kingspin:
Who voted for Obasanjo and Yardua?

Nasman:
It simple, we in the north, refuse to vote for Jonathan, because of;
his inability to fight the brutal terror group of Boko Haram.
THE BOKO HARAM THAT IS YOUR OWN CREATION.
His inability to fight corruption.
CORRUPTION? ARE YOU TALKING OF ABACHA, BABANGIDA, ATIKU,SARAKI, TINUBU EVEN BUHARI ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE NORTHERNERS WITH THEIR ALLIES IN THE WEST AND IT HAPPENS THAT ALL OF THEM ARE IN THE SAME APC, SO THE QUESTION IS can you use corruption to fight corruption?
The wide spread of inpunity which has been the character of his administration.
IMPUNITY? LIKE KILLING POLITICAL OPPONENTS, OR GAGGING THE MEDIA? OR JAILING PEOPLE WITHOUT TRYer OR PROSECUTING IN COURT OF LAW? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN BY IMPUNITY.
His clueless nature to governance
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINATION OF CLUELESSNESS?
and I don't care attitude towards vital national issues.
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T ACT a samu akeche or a samu a raba?
His Niger deltanization of the entire federal government
THE LAST TIME I CHECKED 75% OF POLITICAL APPOINTMENT IS GIVEN TO NORTHERNers.
Marginalization of the South West and North East
HOW DID HE MARGINALISED THE SOUTHWEST? YOU'VE FORGOTTEN THAT TINUBU CONNIVE WITH HAUSAs TO DENY HIS FELLOW YORUBA SISTER THE POSITION OF SPEAKER, HOW IS THAT THE MAKING OF JONATHAN? AS FOR THE NORTHEAST YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE, WHEN YOU CREATED BOKO HARAM, YOU THOUGHT YOU ARE UNDERMINING JONATHAN, ISN'T SO? NOW WHO IS THE CLUELESS NOW?
I have no regret in voting this President out of office. And by God if Buhari do the same mistake of Jonathan, I will also vote against him.

baybeeboi:
patiently waiting for the day this country will be seperated.

aoshi:
As if pastors down in the south weren't telling their congregation not to vote for a muslim who would "islamize" the nation.
Enough with all these crap stories.
Didn't he win there in 2011?
The guy and his party lost woefully. They had better re-strategize instead of seeking yet another national sentiment.

NCOIM:
Seconded!!!

I was chatting with a northern elder in my Street where I stay,,,he was telling me about the elections and the reasons why Jonathan must leave

You need to hear this man's reasons,,I was shocked

It was a Northern Agenda

rexbuton:
THE SOUTH WAS CONNED..

WE HAVE LEARNT

LET US HOPE OUR INCOMING PRESIDENT DOES WELL

WE ALREADY KNOW OUR CHOICE IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS, WE DON'T EVEN NEED CAMPAIGNS

This is just the truth!

Buhari Presidency is a product of propaganda and I wait to see him sustain his government with propaganda. The core north wanted one of their own to take back 'their' power. The person was Buhari. Tinubu keyed into the plan out of his own design to pull the rug from their feet when the time comes. He supplied the propaganda machinery in the south west, the Imams finished the job for him in the north. The rest is history as both partied had gotten what they wanted.

Sit back and watch the unfolding drama. It is a shame that when we want to make progress as a country, an event will take us back to where we started from.

President Jonathan has done his bit to Nigeria. He is not a saint and has his failings as man but history is going to and have started judging him rightly. God bless Nigeria!

modath:
Same way the southern MOGs incited the SS, SE and SW against Baba.

The nine universities were supposed to be compensation for the BH massacre,economic downturn, facilities delapidation .... etc abi ??

God will help you people to see that Jona's undoing was his ineptitude and lackaidasical attitude to burning national
issues and not any grand conspiracy.

The north have always voted for GMB, the only change this time is the NC and SW who swung the pendulum.

illmatic101:
Our brothers from the south thinks otherwise, they don't know the gravity of their actions.
Meanwhile GOODLUCK REMAINS MY HERO AND A SAINT

ndcide:
ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON!!!!

I'm not saying GEJ was a perfect president, I'm not also saying he must be President.

But the religious sentiments I saw before the election was dangerous that I had to shout... What I saw up north, in kano and Kaduna was sickening .

Even here in Lagos, I was moving around my area last sunday and there was a Muslim outdoor outreach going on and the teacher was all out on gloating based on the presidential election. it was really disgusting.

What they say happened in the core north also happened here in Lagos.

Anyway lets just move forward.

Ayus34:

and Jonathan used oyedepo,FFK,lord chosen etc.to also swing religious vote to his side as well but his game wasn't enough infact it back fire....so why blaming the north alone as if even u in particular didn't vote along religion sentiment!

Ayus34:

thank God the guy only talked about what GEJ did for the notherner.....so tell me what he did for the people of southwest,because my vote was base on his performance for my region and the place I reside that directly affect me as a Nigeria but unfortunately he performed poorly.....so do u expect me to vote him
GEJ to me is a failure in all governance index!

Equalizer:
One Nigeria my foot.. The north believes so much that Nigeria is theirs alone to rule and that was why they ganged up against GEJ simply cos he's a Christian and a southerner too... Well, Buhari and his northern elders should sit tight cos pay back time is coming... The will hear of Southern Agenda soon..

benzion72:

This is a prejudiced article. How did the North voted for this same infidel in 2011? Jonathan took side against the masses that voted him in 2011, that was his undoing below are some of his offence
1. Arbitrary increase in fuel price on a new year day from N65 to N140, we begged him almost for a whole month before bringing it to 97 naira
2. Use of soldier/force at Ojota
3. When asked to declare his asset he said he did not give a dam
4. Unjust removal of Justice Salami
5. Abandoning South West without projects and appointment all appointment go to South south
6. He personally promised not to contest again, a promised he made to Obasanjo and the whole North
7. Death of 22 applicant at immigration examination and Abah Moro is still a minister till tomorrow
8. He was not aware that Dieazini used 10 billion to fly jet
9. Nobody was jailed for subsidy fraud
10. Pardon for Alamasae a common criminal
11. Otedola and Faouk gat of $620,000 dollar was swept under caprpet
12. He promise to fix power in four years and not have changed in power supply

And many more atrocities
