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

SharkTank:



After betraying the south south, you think we will just sweep that under the carpet. Some Yoruba people can talk rubbish sha

BraniacX:


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!!

Lionsclaw:
You are a joke. Lol how did GEJ dare him? Tinubu initially supported GEJ and jonathan tried to be friendly to all. If not for hate and your prejudice you will realize Tinubu decided to hate GEJ for no reason. Did you hear that they quarelled. Some people just talk anyhow. Nonesense

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.

BraniacX:


Any correlation between my moniker and post isn't your purview to correlate as i doubt you have the unbiased mindset and intelligence to make that analysis and besides, that was a decent attemt at deflection! Nice try
back to the topic

Leadership is leadership whether military or civilian! Or is china practising democracy? Why should the type of government determine whether or not if there is development if the leader has genuine interests in developing his nation? Mind you, development and not freedom/human rights is what we are discussing here! So answer my questions...... Why shouldn't Nigeria develop economically and infrastructurally under a military junta with the interest of developing it unless the interest was never there in the first place? Gowon's government and its massive infrastuctural strides comes to mind as an exemption but then again he was deposed! Not in the national interests but in the hausa/fulani hegemony interests!

For a government whose figurehead's touted incorruptability was the jingle sung during campaign, all the numerous accusations of corruption in his inner circle falling on deaf ears is interesting to say the least, so is the corruption accusations of the missing N2.8billion of 1978 and the perjury/lack of certificate that are yet to be disproved so who is he and the CPC to label PDP's 16 years as failed and corrupt i ask you?
On the facade of ogoni clean up........ Well, we residents here in Nigeria have been inundated with at least 24 months of propaganda so we recognise propaganda when we see one and that's that for that topic!

Abeg. No chess masters up north. Please we shouldn't engrave it on our minds that the northerners are chess masters in politics. They r not. Please, If they win the mental war, then they have won the political war. Please.

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.

There is fire on the mountain. The presidency and the north will now move on to phase 2 of their plan. The bitter truth is in Nigeria politics,the president holds the aces .

BraniacX:


My brother make we talk true
Chess masters dey for both north and south with the major difference being, chess for north na team game while for south na individual game and until we decide to unite and play team game, we go continue to loose! For example, during election campaign, how many PDP governors for north campaign against buhari and for jonathan? .......... You see wetin i mean?
In the reverse case, which southern APC governor no actively campaign for buhari? From rachas to amaechi to fashola to aregbesola? Them no just campaign for am with mouth, dem campaign for am with money, na amaechi use dollars take buy votes when buhari take win nomination of APC instead of atiku while on the other hand northern PDP governors collect money for campaign from GEJ deposit am for their own private bank accounts.

Shey you still need any more evidence?

The guy (Realman87 ) that said 'wisdom is not for sale' is very correct. Now is not time for southern unity to fight the north. They have all state institutions under their control. The yorubas should fight them alone. southern unity can come later.

For the records, In 2015, the 45% votes Jonathan got from the SW are Igbo votes and SS votes. They are NOT yoariba votes. Lagos is a typical example where all igbos voted pdp; that is why the oba threatened. Ibadan is another example where all igbos in Ibadan voted pdp. Stop claiming that your Yoruba people voted the same man they were desperate to pull down.

Ryabcool:
officially the first mumu to fall for his divide and rule tactic.

BraniacX:


Here is a typical example of what i have been saying!
This is a typical fulani
You'll notice that they understand that the southwest will close in ranks and using tinubu as their mascot, fight back!
You'll also notice that he's targeting the southeast and a potential all southern unification because that is the real threat to them!
Now we must all be smart (long term) and devoid of sentiments and shame this fulani failure on his weak attempt to derail a unified southern block from forming!

Why?
He is a failure because the hausa/fulani hegemony in power has failed Nigeria woefully and the fact that they choose to pretend otherwise shows them for who they are! The fulani are not Nigerians! The hausas are! So for all a fulani cares, Nigeria can go to hell as long as fulani interests are protected! We who are Nigerians must unite and resist this!

Man just shut up. You are so full of hate.Hw do you sleep at nights? Did INEC release the individual names of the people that voted to have reached your silly conclusion.

Do you even know what divide and conquer is?

Divide and conquer is done by your opponent. When Yoruba by themselves vilified GEJ and swore allegiance to Hausa, that wasn't divide and conquer, it was betrayal and sabotage

My brother, the period between now and later is pregnant with many possibilities! If we leave them to suffer alone and they get used to it, then why will they be interested in unity later? They'll be used to the suffering and would rightly or wrongly feel the rest of the south abandoned them when they needed them most same as we are feeling betrayed by them when we needed them most! Two wrongs do not make a right! Let us swallow our pride, forgive each other and unite to survive

Fineman87:


Sorry o. The north cannot use the ss/se. The ss/se is 2 zones unlike the 1 sw. The north and east will work or have always worked on equal footing. So don't worry about that. The goal of restructuring died on the table of amala and ewedu. It was killed because of ministerial appointments. Please save us all this your cap. The ss/se will never align with sw. Fact.

I understand you bro. But na due to their backwardness. Here in the south, we are educated, enlightened and independent minded. But if u look at d 2011 elections, Jonathan got reasonable votes in the north. So some northerners are independent minded too. Abeg, no call them chess masters again Abeg. It has an impact on their psyche and our psyche. They r far far below us.

Your naivety and ignorance is both alarming and depressing! It is because of people like you that tinubu will fail and the south flounder!! Tinubu is irrelevant politically and all hot air on his own! A united south on the other hand...................now, that's something! Do us all a favour and shut up! We don't need you and others like you idolising tinubu and giving him a false sense of importance as he is humbly doing the important thing of mending fences and building bridges politically for your and our southern interests! Because our interests are far more important than his interests in case you have forgotten

ojdollars:



How old are you? Why spewing hatred all the time? I'm from Warri and my son is Yoruba. Can't you rally others for a common goal? Who hates the Yoruba's you think? This comment of yours is pathetic. I supported Tinubu and Buhari during the 2015 Election, I was up all night in N.Y counting the votes as they were being announced by INEC viz Channel's TV Online. This hatred I log on to Nairaland and read everyday, needs to stop and it begins with you.

Ryabcool:
Question; Did Yoruba actively Vote for GEJ in 2011, Yes or No? Did Yoruba actively protest for VP GEJ to be accorded as Acting President while Turai pocketed the presidency in her kitchen, Yes or No? Were the SE and SS quiet throughout when all these were happening, yes or no? Did GEJ call SW rascals after being helped by these same people, Yes or No? Answer those questions genuinely, and ask yourself how SW betrayed GEJ.

Alexis11:


Oga speak for yourself, SW, SE, SS are three different zones. But unfortunately the SE must lump SS with them to gain relevance while the SW don't mind standing alone.

SS and SE votes followed the same pattern in 2015 because Jonathan was from SS with Ebele and Azikiwe as names
