U re the ignorant one swimming in the ocean of ignoramus. All the three zones are they not part of the northern region. Sentimental hypocrite

cutelover19:


Does that mean that southeast and southwest are the same because they are in the south? Your ignominy stinks to high heavens. Please get a current affairs/ geography handbook so you can learn more about how vast the north and it's tribes are! Smh for Nigeria, this is a clear case of lack of exposure! Get a life dude!

ECOTERRORS:
I grew up in kaduna and I can tell you more about the north than what you sit in Lagos and read about.

Mynd44:
I guess the Delta state governor is part of the ignorant people who sees the North as one zone and not three different geopolitical zones.

Nigeria and Ignorance go side by side

Afam4eva:

When they were saying that presidency must come back to the north, were they not aware that the south had 3 regions and can afford to rule for 24 years at a stretch. As much as I'm not so concerned about how they intend to share their spoils of war, it's commonsensical that if the presidency goes to the north, the deputy should come from a region in the south while the senate presidency goes to another zone in either the North or South and then the house of reps speakers goes to another zone.

klevjey:


we will be dividing the country soon... so u guys should take ur share and let d mallams rule u for ever!

Mynd44:

I believe in something else. Merit.

I am tired of this bullcrap rotation. If a senator wants to lead the senate and he plays his politics right, let his colleagues decide who leads them the same way Nigerian decided who leads then.

Plus how does the working of the APC concern the person of the Delta state governor? Is he a member of the APC?

I am an APC supporter, and I am furious that Northerners are even contemplating this 'land grab' that has never happened in the history of Nigeria.

The only reason you want this simply left to the representatives to decide is because, the North with its inbuilt majority will win any vote. And once this terrible selfish precedence is set, it will be repeated in future years.

Mr Uduagan, though PDP, is a Nigeria, and is perfectly entitled to comment on an issue that threatens that puts historical balance in jeopardy.

APC does not define who we are as Nigerians.

Locating Nigeria’s four topmost offices in one area untenable —Uduaghan


By Hugo Odiogor


Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State has described as untenable, alleged plans by the incoming All Progressives Congress, APC, government at the centre to locate the nation’s four key offices in one section of the country, regardless of the constitutional provisions on federal character.

Uduaghan, who was honoured by Anioma people for his contributions to Delta State in the past 16 years, said it was inimical to peace and unity of Nigeria for the North to hold the offices of the President, Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, in addition to the office of the Chief Justice of the Federation.
Uduaghan said: “Leaders of APC reasoning along the line of allocating critical national offices to one section of the country is a mark of insensitivity.”
He said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, may be out of power “but it will mount strong opposition to APC to ensure the survival and advancement of democracy in Nigeria.”

He assured Deltas that he has “no intention of jumping from PDP to APC,” as has become the vogue since the ruling party lost the presidential election in March.
He said he will remain a staunch member of the PDP and help the party go through the trauma of defeat and bounce back to mount formidable opposition to APC in the interest of democracy in Nigeria.

Earlier, the Asagba of Asaba, HRM Obi Chike Edozien, who is the President of Anioma Congress, said Anioma people decided to honour Dr. Uduaghan for the role he has played in the development of the state, starting from when he served as a member of the transition committee for the administration of Chief James Ibori.

Afam4eva:

These positions are not for positions in APC but Nigeria. So, it concerns any Nigerian who cares how the positions are shared. Just like you, I care more for merit than anything else but if the people at APC says they're sharing positions to different regions, they have to do it properly. How can 3 important positions be in the north. Imagine if Jonathan was president, an Igbo man senate president and Yoruba man, speaker. What do you think will be happening right now? Won't they make Nigeria ungovernable? But now its the north and we're being told about how the north is not the same. Some of us are not fools and I find it strange that some of you southerners are buying into their obvious tricks because you stand something to gain from it.

Mynd44:

Mynd44:

Under GEJ,
Vice President, Senate President and Speaker were from the North. Add the Minister for Justice, NSA, Defence minister and SGF were from the "North" how come this same person did not talk about alleged marginalization? But suddenly his party wont be governing and he wants to talk right?

Allow the House of Reps members do what they did in 2011. Choose their own members.

Note: The APC has not announced any zonning formulae. They have not mentioned it just people who are interested in running are running

coputa:
How,young lad,are you reading from right to left.

Afam4eva:

Under GEJ, the speaker was supposed to come from the SW but we know what happened. It's not an issue what APC ends up doing. I'm only of the opinion that they should do the honorable thing of they're going the zoning route.

The very people who ought to be the protectors of our national unity are the very ones viciously assaulting the fabric right at its seams.

Frankly I wish I were a president so I could teach some nutcasses how not to behave.

When it suits them, they adopt the north versus the south, christians versus muslims, majority versus minority. It is seldom about real politik or merit.

Now, if we look at Jonathan's admin, going by the logic of these fartheads that call themselves politicians:

VP- "North".

Senate president- "North"

Speaker HoR- "North".

Attorney General- "North".

Chief Justice- "North".

Now, how many of these eediots (pardon me) told us about the dangers of having all these positions situated at the north back then??

Can we see how these men try to divide us...

Nigerians, get wise I repeat!!

deletrue:
Please do well to explain how the north has become three zones? I guese you mean northeast, north that and north this abi? You are not normal. If I may ask, why are you people always the way you are? There so much wrong cell carry so much wrong blood in your wrong systems.

IGBOSON1:

And who told you the south west were happy for being sideline during that period?
^^^It was different then because the topmost position was held by a Southerner! And besides, this was done with all being taken on board....with the blessing of the South, and without the South feeling they were sidelined when the decisions were being made!

santori:



i dont think you are knowlegeable enough for this topical discussion, to you north should be categorized as one while south should be segmented into 3 despite having less land mass and population hun?

sir i will advise you go back to school

deebsman1:


hahahahahaha, thats you pipu plan abi, a la "radio niger delta", may it come true (Amen). Who do u think is afraid of division? Have u forgotten or u have neva heard that the yorubas have always been the 1s at the fore front of the struggle to split Nigeria, may it come true pls but without any bloodshed. Yorubas are naturally enterprising and far above u guys in term of education and all other human endeavor, they have oil or don't you know that Ondo is an oil producing state with lots of reserve in Ogun and offshore Lagos. I think u pipu should know that yorubas can never be loser if that happen. I don't know y u guys are so bitter about Jonathan losing that election, you voted en mass for him, but God pass you as you pipu are not many enuff to win the majority of the votes and even thou, is it not the yorubas that helped Jonathan in, when the dreaded cabals of Yar Adua nearly send him to relegation, where were you the Niger Deltans and the orubebes of this world then, you can do me a favor by naming 1 strong ND individual that strongly supported Jonathan then. Also when it comes to 2011 elections, do u have the record of how yorubas voted for him en masse and 2015, he didn't perform and they decided to vote him out, cos they are not a laidback race, so why the bitterness all over the place. IF IGBOS AND OTHERS WANT TO GO, THE DOOR IS WIDE OPEN

klevjey:

it is really none of our business if the whole of 9ja have oil...WE JUST WANT TO BE ALONE..AM FROM ND..NO IGBO, NO YORUBA, NO HAUSA..

And as for d oil issue, it isn't today we have been hearing of Lagos' 'oil'.in fact, since independence, 1960, lagos has always been 'a oil state'.only God knows where it is hiding...may be it will be discovered after scientists discover aliens in planet Jupiter.. haaaaaaaaaaaaaa

deebsman1:

Do you know what offshore mean??

ECOTERRORS:
I think you are the ignorant one here, do they have North East governor forum or does any hausa man takes geo political thing serious apart from when they are skimming for political appointment.

ECOTERRORS:
I grew up in kaduna and I can tell you more about the north than what you sit in Lagos and read about.

klevjey:


my brother, the point am trying to make is: NO OIL ANYWHERE NEAR OR AROUND LAGOS, OGUN, OYO, ETIKI, ETC...cos if there is, I trust men like tinubu would have quickly emptied that place before u would say JACK..no oil bro, no oil...only a little part of ondo tapped into the blessing of being closest to SS in having oil..

coputa:
I have always said it that,Buhari,the miracle worker of guillible nigerians is out to promote northern interest.Nigerians are not good students of history.
