I think u didn't know history. ....I can tell it to Ur face that the east has never support the west before and after the civil war....infact the same north u guys are rejecting today has been Ur political partner even before independence and reason Ur lord ojukwu was compensated with a ceremonial post.....even Ur warlord supported shagari and babangida....so I don't understand what I mean by seeking political assistant from you,the relationship that has never and will never exist? this will be the only time in history that a Yoruba formed party aligned with a northern party and Ur party was also invited which u refused because of Ur hatred....while azikwe aligned with NORTHERN PEOPLE'S CONGRESS,awolowo was satisfied with Action Group....so I didn't see the alliance u re talking about.....thank God same Nigeria u are tired of today,azikwe brought us into this mess despite awo going against it and even qualifying it with a mere geographical region and even suggested any aggieved region should be allow to separate without war through our constitution which Ur same son azikwe objected far there in UK,before ojukwu saw it and fought a senseless,unplanned war.......brother go back to Ur history book and not what Ur aggrieved father is telling you!

Na u talk make sense for this whole thread o! *exits thread *

Why cant we southerners just call ourselves as one like the Northern people do? Why does it have to be SW/SS/SE. We are southerns we have more than 75% of things in common, but we allow the 25% in differences to cloud our judgement. That is madness.

You have totally misread or misunderstood my post.. Let's stick to issues please, no insults

You guys just find a way to say my mind.. I said these months back and people were saying that we were wishing Buhari death , now here is a y[b]ouruba man [/b]saying it.. Unfortunately, in modern nigeria, no none is ruler and no one is king maker.. You have a valid point being a stickler for numbers but at times the measures are different. 1 + 1 is not always 2.. It depends on the base

Equalizer:

The 25% indifference is from the SW cos they believe they have the voting strength and number, their votes and loyalty is always at the market square waiting for the highest bidder with interesting offer...

Our brothers from the south thinks otherwise, they don't know the gravity of their actions.

Interesting. Question, will you consider someone that agrees with you 75% of the time a friend or an enemy.

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

You really think I am Yoruba man? hummm....

Equalizer:

I see that as a friend but not a trusted friend..GEJ took most Northern elites as trusted friends whereby they are just mere political friends whose only ambition is to return power to the north by all means cos they hated GEJ for completing Yar'dua's eight years instead of stepping down for the northern candidate to complete their eight year tenure...

Jonathan was not really a politician in real sense. Regarding the 25% in differences, and how to appease the SW. Ever heard of a proverb that says "Let us pretend, and let the Crazy man think that he is the bride husband in order to get whatever we want from him"

hopilo:
The North needed 2015 badly, for them it was not about APC vs PDP, it was North vs South. In both parties all northerners were charged to work for a common goal. That is the power of unity.

internetpirate:
That's the pathetic aspect of it all! We claim to be educated yet the North used the simple things of the world to confound the so-called wise! Something as simple as religion!

segend:
People should understand the voting patterns of every region by now. The core north will always vote base on tribal and religious sentiment. The swing region in the last election was southwest, and north central. I still think if Jonathan had won these regions convincingly, he would have won the election, just like 2011. The subject for discussion should be, why did he lose southwest and north central. blaming Jonathan's lost on imams and northerners in my opinion is just passing the buck, and refusing to accept responsibility.

modath:

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.

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

Equalizer:

I get your point but his aides that were suppose to be guiding him politically seems to be deceiving him rather than giving him good advises... He learnt his lessons the hard way..

NCOIM:
Exactly!!!

This is seconded by The noble moi!!

Only the northern slaves will say otherwise


2015 Presidential Election was a northern Agenda
So,,,If you think otherwise,,, you must be sitting on a long thing

mandax:
About 90% of northerners made up their minds that power must return to the north.



BH aided their resolved.

I was so angry regarding the political advices they gave the man. When Sanusi was removed from the Central Bank. I sensed right then the most expedient move to make was put someone from the SW in that position that would have checkmate the APC inroad into the PDP rank. Let the Northern Leader of the House of Rep go and join whatever party he wants. He should have find a way to put another SW person in that position. I mean the election was coming and the man didn't make any move to prepare for it. I am sorry GEJ was not a politician.

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
here is my message to the south only...

I am 4rm North Central so let me answer you. Jonathan lost NC not because d NC have problem with jona per say, bt because of the internal crisis that bedevilled pdp in dos states concern. For instance, in my state Plateau, d crisis starts when Gov Jang annoint a candidate dat comes 4rm d same tribe as him, ignoring d zoning formulae that were practised 4 yrs. To make it worse, he refused 2 pay workers their entitlements 4 six month. Hence, the reason 4 ppl's defection 2 APC. What happened in NC was purely a protest vote against d actions of d Governors nt GEJ
