thats my opinion.


He will be better off as an elder stateman,instead of this partisan poltics

No true political elder will do without being partisan[color=#770077][/color]

AmuDimkpa:


How you brought in SE into your (North) fight with Tinubu is beyond me. Nawa o

don't mind the troublemaker. He's trying to play the old divide and rule tactic here on NL to pitch tribes against each other. There are some of us who see through that useless ruse.

sarrki:
Tinubu can't be humiliate

I know no one reign forever

But won't condone that for now

Children of hate and anger will soon troop in now

It's pure envies just because tinubu buried there hero

Politically

I hope you read this Saark!

Bet me your Tinubu will beg the hero to challenge Buhari in 2019. This is the only way he can remain relevant politically, both in Southwest and in the centre. Tinubu knows this is his only chance to overcome the tsunami that is about to overwhelm him. He needs the SS and SE now and the only unifying factor is the hero you chastised.

He, Tinubu that dehumanised the said hero will come back to repolish him... and you, Sarrki or whatever, will be the biggest mouthpiece for that job. Mark my word. Just like Haaman was the bearer of Mordecai sceptre of honour, so will you and Tinubu bear that of Jonathan.

Nobi this naija politics, Just wait and watch. Whom the Lord has blessed, noone can curse. God has blessed Jonathan, all that the rest of you can is to ask God to be like him.

patriotic9jaboy:
The silent movement of a lion is not cowardice. Tinubu obviously has a plan B for his so called enemies. He has won several political battles and i trust him to come out victorious on this one. We will put an end to this born to rule caliphate in 2019 by aligning with our southern brothers. A united south can defeat the north any day. I trust Tinubu to come up with a contigent plan by 2019. (GEJ dared him and today he is in otueke). Buhari should thread carefully

all other comments i agree with u, but last one in brackets shud be a no-go area at this point, if can consider that tinubu's destruction of gej's ambition is now the catalyst of his ruin politically, pls don't come up excuses or ask u this question that why is now struggling for his political life at the level attained with his money and sweat.

48cents:
Tinubu is super crafty but national politics is something far complex, brutal and lethal


The abuja power brokers are on a planned attack to cut Tinubu to size and I won't be surprised if they Rig aketi in to sound it clear who is boss

Tinubu somewhat fell for Buhari"s antics of being apolitical, who would give him free hand to cart away the spoils of victory; but buhari like a cunny fox played along and now when no when expected attacks systematically.

Tinubu's latest reaction to Saraki"s major release from the court wahala, which was pursued deliberately by the Abuja tink tank to pacify Tinubu, has no effect on these ruthless mafia


The trust is lost; these are mind games. They expect tinubu to read the signs that he can't be in abuja what he is in Lagos and Osun


Tinubu's best place is with this alliance as the SS/SE won't be in a hurry to team up with him even of he offers to join the chorus for resource control...though tempting they would rather to deal with the proverbial lizards that come visiting after Tinubu brought home ant-infested gays

At least you got some facts right!

1. Tinubu like a logos PDP chieftain once said is a local ludo champion who went to single handedly try his luck against national chess champions!
(Keyword here being "ludo" which is a game of chance and "chess" being a game of tactics)

2. Tinubu's relevance even in the southwest after this will be as a mascot and figurehead, interests will be determined by consensus! And that is as it should be

3. Eventually, a united southwest will have to reach out to the southeast and south-south as the southwest alone won't prevail against the hausa/fulani hegemony's onslaught! And that is a politifact! And why should this be? Because alliances built on common interests outlasts alliances built on common enemies! The southeast and southwest have been convinced to see each other as enemies for sometime now but on a daily basis we live and interact with each other and have more in common with each other especially tolerance for differences than with people of the core north!

4. If we in the south play this right, then tinubu's humiliation would have been a necessary sacrifice and a blessing in disguise in the long run

olaskul:
Just they imagine Tinubu and Fayose coming together in the south west, if APC allows this to happen then they are totally Finished.

And Mimiko..Aregbesola..APC is a goner!

devilson:
this dude is an hausa/fulani he nd fulanimafia.
when the whole s.west against grazing bill he supported it,the hausa/fulani are scared of south unity.
I hope the south can forgive themself nd unite now,an igbo presidency in 2019 would do it,d north central are not really cool with the core north so we av a chance

do you even know GEJ was not meant to contest in 2015? I doubt

he imposed himself with the backing of ur pple and some criminal elements in SW who promised to vote him in.. But as expected, the clueless one didn't know 2/3 rule existed.

I would love to see an igbo president but I fear d worst.. They will colonize the entire place, it's what they do.
They are not as accommodating as others which will make it difficult. look at Ekwueme when he was there, all appointnents went to igbos, almost d same thing with GEJ

Realman87:




I repeat. We will never enter such alliance with the SW. The North will work with the East. Nigeria is North+East. That is how the colonialists left Nigeria and that is how it will be. The SW were never in national politics, they rose because of the fall of the East after the war. Sorry. The SW must sojourn alone. Good luck to the SW....

This is incorrect, the colonialists no longer have a say on what happens in or to Nigeria.
The North being a smart entity have always taken advantage of the eternal rift between
the West and the East.
Even if the North works with SE , it doesn't mean the East will be the one in charge,
the North has always called the shots regardless of which region they work with.

It will be interesting though to see IPOB members campaign for Buhari in 2019.

donephi:
sorry I meant IBB however it became conspicuous during the Obasanjo Era cos there was no one federal project in the east but had few in the north and more in the middle belt. Nigeria can only become great when the youth build there minds with virtues than vices, shun tribalism, nepotism then imbibe and inculcate a sense of responsibility and maturity in daily routines. Stop themselves been used by these so called politicians and there selfish, self-centred actions which never means well for an average Nigerian. All Tinubu is Fighting for is to regain his image not the south west Image. Wanting to prove a point.

Good. We all ve ethnic and tribal sentiments in us and it affets ur in our dealings,however we still need to push our ethnic agenda to the forefront . Yes politicians have personal interest and some do ve passion for their pple. I supported APC cuz of CAN structure via fashola's dispensation, which I expect them to replicate at d centre but things r not working as I thought ,but we had to try then. I don't lioke PDP in the West cuz they failed . All d past PDP Govs that ever govern in West fumbled. I love Akpabio bcuz he really tried for his pple .I would ve voted for him ,if he was my gov. Keep upo the good work and dwell more in reasoning ,teach others the scope of indepth politics from the basics of indepth thinking .

flokii:


They will retrace their steps, they always do.
That's why I said yoruba bfor politics.. even those in opposition you thought are enemies will rally round him

how I wish you can understand how d yoruba mind works.. it's pretty cool I tell you

You guys are funny. They stab tinubu to retrace their step later. How horrible can this reasoning be? Tinibu will gladly accept them back cos they are Yoruba. Mark this post, Fayose is just trying to make use of this opportunity to gamer apc votes for pdp in ondo state. He cares less of what Tinubu is going through.

Porthos:


you better desist from this stupid attitude & name calling.You have all the time to check history just to instill hate amongst ourselves. I am from SS, Warri to be precise but, I tell you these comments are why Ibos are not in power today & not the coup. If they are half as sensible as you claim, they will seize this opportunity to hold better seats in the country. The south south needs to unite. I pray for one Nigeria only if the North can realize that we are one Nigeria. They have for long used our hatred of our sw, ss and se brothers against us. Be wise man.... ibos will not go anywhere with this silly behavior you guys put up every time. The yorubas have made some mistakes too but, isn't it time we let go of the past already? I would love an IBO man to rule anyway.... they are somewhat industrious and I believe they are the ones that will pull this country up although the brains & collective efforts of yorubas, hausas & other tribes will be a weapon. And just so we are clear, I am not an IBO ; I am itsekiri...... I just gave my thoughts. thanks

Bcuz dey ve d highest numbrs of representatives bn planned by d british . D north fear the west ,they knew they ve d brain to spOil their political dominance. Read tanko yakassai's article .

Bro,which north the fear west..for this nigeria...and since independence..
No the talk like that..

The north don the position the west even before independence..as pa Enahoro or pa Awolowo .

The east was not that important to the north as lagos..till the discover oil in commercial quantity.
It became a problem.

Realman87:


Which united South. You must be Dreaming. the SS/SE will never work with SW. We will rather work with the North. In fact, Nigeria really belongs to the East+North.
When the colonialists were leaving, they balanced power by giving the President to Azikiwe; PM to Tafawa Balewa, Army GOC to Ironsi.
The SW were never in national politics, they were regional players and social critics. The balance of power was altered due to the coup and war. The East lost out and the SW took its place. This explains why the SW were very mad at Jonathan for resurrecting the East. They were hoping to retain the North+West balance of power; hence their 2015 betrayal of the South. Unfortunately and judging from History, Yorubas have never lasted at the centre. They cannot match the North, mind for mind. Only the Easterners can and the Northerners know this.

Thus, there will be no Southern alliance in 2019. The North will destroy the West as always and they will return to the East. The North+ East balance of power will be Restored PERMANENTLY and the SW will live in eternal regret. They have the media and mouth-power to continue their role as social critics.

Could you please wait a second n remove Ur head outta Ur ASS?

BraniacX:


Don't be stupid!
No alliance with the north will lasts as long as a united southern alliance simply because our interests in the south are very different from the interests of northerners and after they use you to secure power on the basis of a common political enemy in the southwest they'll discard you just like they're discarding tinubu and align with the southwest against you and the cycle will go on and on! So our common interests should be the only reason to align politically!
And when i talk abouth the north, I'm referring to the core north not the the middle belt and north central with whom we share common values too! Them we should reach out to and cultivate in order to break the hausa/fulani yoke of hegemony on Nigeria

why didn't you have this line of thought in 2015?

The way some of us talk about the north here is worrying. Always glorifying the north as though they are the most important region in nigeria. We should stop it abeg. Someone even said the north has most population in nigeria. Please. This is wrong. It is part of the lies in the Nigerian fabric. In 2011, the southern region stood for Jonathan and Jonathan defeated buhari.

fulanimafia:


I'll overlook the insult with the assumption that you're just an over emotional kid.

First of all, you lack the logical basis, grounds and rationale to claim the North had failed Nigeria because the South has democratically led since 1999 for 16 years yet Nigeria is still this backward shithole where basic power and water supply remains a luxury....after 16 years of southern presidency from two different southern regions + the major legacy left was unmitigated corruption. The brain failure here is obvious.

Secondly, your allegation is baseless because politics is a game of interests and clearly some Yorubas now feel their interests are not being served by their current political configuration; were you expecting me to play ostrich and ignore the obvious reaction from the other end of the South?

Anyway you can keep filling this forum with your elementary political permutations but bear in mind that for every step you take, Arewa is a dozen steps ahead.

I never disputed that you weren't a dozen steps ahead! My mission here is to create awareness among the non political class in the south on where their true interests lie as they would be the ones deciding whom and who in the political class get to represent them!

Talking about brain failure, have you looked in the mirror lately? Your attempt to pretend that Nigeria started its existence in 1999 is hilarious at best and self deceiving also, your pretence that Nigeria was eldorado and incorrupt pre-1999 is same, so tell me, who were Nigeria's rulers before 1999 and where did they come from? What was the state of our economy @ 1999 and what was it @ 2015! Your failed narrative cum jingle of 16 years of failed and corrupt PDP leadership only works with the gullible uneducated shee-ple massed up north who are your robots and serfs and whom you subjugate with weaponised ignorance cum religious sentimentalism to do your bidding! I don't belong to that clique hence i can tell you that the supposed "16 years of failed and corrupt PDP leadership" doesn't look so failed and corrupt when compared to "18 months of successful and incorrupt CPC leadership" and i know because i unlike you, lives and works in Nigeria not the U.K! I and most other Nigerians, (hausa/fulani excluded for obvious reasons) will rather have the 16years back! Thank you!

Don't mind them. I pity those ss/see who will fall for their trick.

luvinhubby:


I am afraid, the South-south & South-east will not align with South-west for nearest future considering the fact that they are considered as sell outs last election.

let's be honest here. The SS and SE didn't treat the SW as brothers when they were in power, despite how the SW fought to make the VP be given his rightful position as Acting President and eventually president. SW instead got insults and threats of domination, and no development after all they did. Do you expect the SW to blindly throw such support again? No side is blameless here bro. The sooner we accept this fact, the easier it will be to move on and forge ahead towards a common goal; which is development of one's region. If both regions can decide to stop the scheming and learn to respect each other's beliefs and ideologies, there is nothing we can't do. This is obvious in the successful cohabitation between Yorubas and Igbos in Lagos. Nothing should stop this from extending generally.

Even tinubu's matter..na so dem silently seal am..jagaban himself no see am come..
Na why he burst..matter shock am..

My point be say..politics are not being discussed on the pages of papers..the west should understand that..
For every political move the make..the north is 10 time ahead.
Not jokes...

Na serious matter oh my guy, for every move we make the chess masters up north really dey 10 moves ahead so now dem go soon start to dey woo and cajole the south east and south south with political appointments and what not but make that one no fool us at all because them go still discard us later!

That is not wisdom. The north controls inec. They control the security services and they now control the judiciary and allotment of election tribunal judges. Now is not a time to fight the north. Let's be wise. Yorubas should fight their war alone.

Your moniker and post have no nexus or correlation whatsoever.

You want to compare national development under a democracy with the regression expected under a military dictatorship?

Did it even occur to you that you're trying to justify the gargantuan failures of democratic leadership by southern civilians including an acclaimed PHD holder over 16 years ruling with the power of the constitution and compare it with the leadership given by uniformed jack booted soldiers running a junta, ruling by decrees and only trained to kill and destroy? Read the first paragraph again.

The people of Otueke and Ogoni who never had any clean up initiated or pipe borne water respectively over the last 16 years, will rather have these last 18 months of cleaning up the mess left by southern leadership led by their own kinsmen.

Dereformer:


why didn't you have this line of thought in 2015?

Check my previous posts! I am not yoruba and i am among those who said this will happen! Now that it has happened, it is good! Because our current young generation especially from the southwest will awaken politically and realise what their older generation were telling them before 2015! So now, the question is what happens after this, the arewa will want to co-opt the rest of the south politically with the pretence that the south west is the enemy and we should not let that happen! Because yesterday the south-south and south east were the enemy (maybe they still are) tomorrow it will be the south west, next tomorrow, who knows but one thing will remain constant, it will be the core north who decides who the enemy will be................... Unless we choose to wake up!!
