The North and Southwest are just friendly enemies, who only unite to fight the Igbos and later go back into enmity when there are no Igbos to fight.

I don't mean any disrespect; but I've read the story of Awolowo and Abiola to lend credence to the truth that history always repeats itself.

"Various initiatives have been put in place in order to see that northerners from wherever they are, from the 19 states, become one as far as voting is concerned. We are not saying 100 percent of northerners should be in one political party but that northerners should have one voice, they should decide and dictate the politics of Nigeria; like it has been before independence and even during the First Republic because of the numerical strength of the North.
But of recent we became divided so we became so vulnerable. But God in His infinite wisdom and mercy used the goodwill of General Muhammadu Buhari and we have gotten the kind of unity that we have been yearning for for so long. We have realised this dream now. So now that we have achieved the unity we long for because of Buhari’s goodwill, it is only fair that we now make some efforts to consolidate these gains because General Buhari will not be the president for ever. So that after him, we have consolidated on this goodwill and we will be able to grow this unity, political cooperation, electoral cooperation from strength to strength so that the North will as much as possible dictate the political landscape of the country and what happens in Nigeria as it used to do."

Nairaland SS and SE ill-informed youths jubilating and wanting the north to occupy both Senate Presidency and HoR speakership, can you see your life now.

You will rather have the North have the Presidency, Senate Presidency, House of Rep speakership, Chief Justice of the Federation (basically 4 of the top 5 positions in this country), just so you can spite the SW So, the well-planned complete and total northern domination that will affect your lives negatively does not bother you?

You note in his long rant, this northern man didn't show any consideration for the SE or SS, yet PDP representatives from this 2 regions are lining up to vote for northern domination now which will pave the way for long term 'northern unity' and thus long term northern domination. Exactly what this man say they have planned all along up north.

So, who is the slave now. The SW that wants to prevent this northern domination at all cost or SE and SS representatives that are lining up behind their northern PDP masters to the detriment of their regions' long term well being

Somehow this article about issues between the north and sw has turned into an Igbo and yoruba debate.

Leave Igbos out of your family issues.

Nnaabros:


Absolutely true. That position was zoned by PDP to the SW but northern elements in the house, in the same spirit of Northern dominance, voted against her and denied the SW of that position. At the end of the day the SW blamed Jonathan for it. They said he marginalized them. Heaven knows that Jonathan tried to do good for everybody!!! .

As I read the content of the write up,I was just annoyed,the man is a fool,he doesn't have the interest of Nigeria in his hearth atall,just the interest of northerners. So the president should be in the north,senate president in the north,speaker in the north,so all deputies should be from the south? Had it been south east didn't frked up,they deserve the senate president but they failed. Though the best candidate should always emerge in all ramifications but not at the derail of southerners. This arrangement of thing is simple as ABC but for selfish reasons they won't do what is right for the country. The president elect is from the north west,VP from southwest,senate president to the north central though south eats ought to have it but they didn't produce any APC senator from south east,so SGF will be good for the east,deputy senate president should be for the north east ,speaker for the south west and deputy speaker for the south and south and say chief whip#chikena

I see a lot of hate comments between Igbos and Yorubas on the Internet which I think is uncalled for. The dynamics of the last election cannot be attributed to so-called conspiracy by any groups or regions alone. In Benue State, the people who ironically are mostly Christians voted the APC because they were literally 'mad' about the colossal failure of the PDP especially at the State level -my Uncle got his January salary recently. In Plateau, it was a revolt against perceived attempt by the Berom ethnic group to perpetuate itself in office. In Kaduna, even the Southern zone which traditionally votes for a Christian, had issues with the PDP including the State Governor and Vice President. Several Christians voted for Buhari and several Muslims voted for Jonathan. The elections were not perfect as in 100% but they largely reflected the wishes of the majority of Nigerians and should be so accepted and respected. Anyone who feels otherwise has a legitimate right to challenge the elections at the tribunal. The PDP simply mismanaged itself and its 2011 success. Irrespective of our individual preferences, we should wish the new Government well. Nigeria is in a big mess right now and we should move on!

When I opened a topic about Shamsudeen usman made a comment, which said “The entire south-west just contributed about 500,000 votes which is smaller as compared to what the entire Zamfara, delivered to GMB not to even call states in the Northeast or Kano”

“So what’s it that the region is bringing to blackmail Buhari into handing over the government to Tinubu who thinks controlling Lagos is same as Buhari?”.

“Each time we talk about Buhari’s administration, people are quick to remind us that without the South-west region, GMB wouldn’t have emerged, thats a lie, with or without that region he would have, it was time for Jonathan to leave and nothing would have stopped him”.

They attacked and insulted igbo as if the northern politician who made such comment was Igbo. Gbawe, the epistle writer, wrote another long epistle denying the comment and shouting how hateful some trying to be by spreading falsehood( pretty much implying I, Musa that wrote the article, hopefornigeria that replicated the article were trying to be "hateful". Mind you, not one of them focused on Usman throughout that entire thread, the shouted IGBO in it all while pretending as if northern politicians sees "APC or PDP as oppose to just North". so lady it shouldn't come as a surprise if they do the same thing on this thread. They do it all the time.

The most foolish comment ever on nairaland

Gbawe:


Right about now, they will even endorse Satan and his evil army taking over Nigeria if they can be promised that the Yorubas will suffer the most. As I have said before, the SE and SS should be careful going public with their hatred and resentment of the SW. They will be the long term losers of such a strategy of hate when the SW wake up to and begin to deliberately address this unrequited hatred from those we are nothing but hospitable and accommodating towards.

We will see who will lose out in the end. All the SW did was the responsible thing by voting out a misruler who was destroying Nigeria even as we must inform some hateful element that said misrulers still garnered healthy votes in the SW while they gave Buhari and the APC virtually nothing. If some ethnic jingoists and bigots now want to fight the SW for taking making electoral choices we are free to make, when they even gave the misruling GEJ virtually 100% figures, then I say bring it on !!! In life, It is pointless trying to pacify unreasonable people who operate with minds totally destroyed by hate. I therefore implore the bigots to do their worst.

phabulux:



Very idiotic comment!


You guys are fo-o-ls!

Who, do you think, enthroned Tambuwwal, in the first place, to bring down Jona's govt? Have you forgotten that PDP and Jona wanted a Yoruba woman as the speaker?

Obviously, you igbos do not know how politics is played. That's why you played yourselves out of Nigerian political mainstream.

Ba lakaye!

Just sit and watch. Whenever we need your dumb contributions, we'll ask.

I have said it that the Yoruba race is the only ember holding this country as one.

The day the Oduduwa children turn their back against the north, thats the end of Nigeria.

South South and South East is already at the brink...

The north should not push their supposed dominance too far

herringbone:
One poster implies that SE/SS needs to vote a SWestner to curb excessive power of the north..i laff plenty. The same people that voted a northner as a president as against their southern brother..una get mouth otolo oo

OYAY:
This is highest level of irresponsible statement from a suppose statesman,so what will be the signification of pace dictating of northerners to Nigeria and Nigerians? Self serving right? Anyway he is not to blame if the SE have not voted out of sentiment for PDP lots we will not be where we are because the senate presidency has been silently zoned to SE and to senator Chris Ngige specifically; it would have been natural two all to both North and South i.e SW VP,SE SP while NW P and probably NE S hor. Be as it may it behoove on the three regions in the south to come together and take their destiny into their hands;it will be foolhardy for the SS and SE to be thinking the SW betray them,there is no way GEJ would have been voted back with shenanigans that goes along with his administration not even with the revelation from finance minister of economic doom;hence they should forget the past and take on the challenge of equal portions of principal posts in next administration between the North and South.

sinizia:


I never knew you're a bigot till this very minute. Take a look at your deep-seated hate and paranoia not excluding your hypocrisy. You alluded that the SW made electoral choices which they were free to make; but when the SE & SS makes their own choices which they are entitled and free to make, you term it spiting the SW? You're officially the number 1 hypocrite. Never thought you had this part in you.

So a Northern man was clearly talking about the Northern domination right in front of you, saying the SW are asking for too much, and you left the tribal bigot and blamed the SE and SS? Does cowardice run in your blood? In all your post, you never chastised the tribal bigot for his illogical statement, all you did was turn around and blame the Igbos? Wow!! Your hate and cowardice is legendary. I've lost all respect for you, tribal bigot!!

Your loss in the last election is still giving you nightmares. With time you will get over it; probably when your principal fool Ebele Jonascam retires to his village you will all realised that the battle to save Nigeria from cluelessness has been won by Nigerians and loss by you TANoids.
Yorubas fight Ibos, Hausas fight Ibos, Ijaws fight Ibos, Ikweres fight Ibos, Kanuris fight Ibos, Fulanis fight Ibos. Na only una dey? Better check yourself before you all check into psychiatric hospital.

Was northern domination considered when GEJ was voted (rigged)out ? Why double standard?

Now you want South to have one voice, right ?
