South East Vs South West: Politics At The National Level by SouthEastFacts: 10:57am On Dec 28, 2017 |
I am still enjoying my Christmas, I don't have time for long article. I stumbled upon the quoted this morning, so this short piece is an unedited response to that. When time permits, I shall run a full analysis. LionDeLeo:The problem with some Yorubas is nothing but Shallowness. To them Nigeria started in 1999, fourth republic. But if you ask them where SW was before the fourth republic most of them will open their mouth staring at you. Pre Republican era First and only Governor General (Nnamdi Azikiwe) First Speaker (Jaja Nwachukwu, Present day, Abia) First President of the Senate (Nnamdi Azikiwe) First Republic First President (Nnamdi Azikiwe) First President of the Senate (Nwafor Orizu) First Acting President (Nwafor Orizu) First Foreign Minister (Jaja Nwachukwu) First GOC, NA (Aguiyi Ironsi) Military Era First Military Head of State (Aguiyi Ironsi) Second Republic First Vice President (Alex Ekwueme) First Speaker (Ume Ezeoke) Third Republic We already know what happened here. Abiola a wealthy Yoruba Muslim ran for President on the platform of SDP. He won a decisive victory to become the first and only Southerner to defeat a Northern overwhelming in the North. Second republic Governors took office on January, 1993, while IBB postponed the Presidential election to June 12. Which he eventually won decisively. According to New York Times (1993) "Many Yoruba have long resented the domination of Nigeria's political life by the mostly northern Hausa-Falani ethnic group, and were ecstatic when one of their own, Mr. Abiola, appeared to have won the recent balloting," but 11 days later, he annulled the election. 11 days again, on July 4, 1993, General Babangida took Chief Abiola and family into confidence. He told them point blank, 'they' (North) will kill you (MKO) rather than allow you to become the elected President, Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria'. https://m.thenigerianvoice.com/news/53716/1/the-secret-behind-the-annulment-of-june-12-amp-wha.html In 1994, he declared himself President and was imprisoned for 4 years in solitary confinement. On the day was due to be released, on the 7th July 1998, he died of natural cause after agreeing to renounce his mandate upon learning that the world has abandoned him, telling him they won't recognize a 5 year old election. The government of Ernest Shonekan that took over from IBB was dismantled within 3 months by the same power that doesn't want Abiola as President. Failing to consolidate his power within 3 months, his government was dismantled with just 40 soldiers. Announcing his Cabinet list, Shonekan became the First Civilian Head of State to alienate Ndi Igbo from government, giving Ndi Igbo 4 out of 31 Cabinet appointments. Senate President (NC) Fourth Republic (First 8 years) First President (SW) First Vice President (NE) First Senate President (SE) First Speaker (NW) Note: In the 4th Republic, the SW was just compensated with the Presidency because of the 3rd republic debacle. To achieve this, all parties were directed to field only SW, because in a liberalized election, Obasanjo the anointed can not win the election. So 4th Republic Presidency is NOT an achievement for the SW, because their own preferred candidate, Olu Falae was roundly defeated, and forced into political irrelevance. In essence, greater Nigeria imposed Obj on the SW. They were allowed to that position not as a result of political clout or sophistication, but as result of benevolence of Nigerians. In 2003, Obj had to beg Atiku, his subordinate in a kneeling position to allow him complete his term. www.dailypost.ng/2017/12/11/obasanjo-knelt-atiku-begging-second-term-idahosa/ Fourth Republic (Second administration) President (NW) Vice President (SS) Senate President (MB) Speaker (SW) Deputy Speaker (SE) Deputy SP (SE) Note: SW was kicked out of the House after the first tenure. They were not allowed to complete their zoned 8 years. Tambuwal took from Bankole. Fourth Republic (third Administration) President (SS) Vice President (NW) Senate President (MB) Speaker (NW) Deputy Speaker (SE) Deputy SP (SE) Fourth Republic (fourth Administration) President (NW) VP (SW) Senate President (MB) Speaker (NE) Deputy SP (SE) Deputy Speaker (SW) Note: VP is the only achievement of SW in the fourth Republic, a position they got by the benevolence and popularity of His Excellency, the President. When they tested their political clout and sophistication at the national level outside the benevolence of Northern backed political clout, they were roundly defeated and political sophistication demystified during the tussle for the position of SP and Speaker. The political sophistication of SE/SS got the SE the Deputy SP even though they don't truly deserve it. This means the North still prefer their age lond Political Cooperation with the East to their recent cooperation with the West, even though the East didn't help them achieve the Presidency. Don't forget the 4th Republic is just 18 years. You don't expect all the 6 regions to produce President within that 18 years. 3 regions have done their part (SW ( SS (4) NW (6, remaining 2 years), 3 are yet to do theirs, hence power is going to NE unfailingly through Atiku. When time comes, nobody will stop Igbo Presidency. SS will as well complete the other 4 years when time comes. When it comes to politics at National level, SW are just crawling. They can't beat SE political records or ever catch up with them. The SW got the Presidency and Vice Presidency out of benevolence of people. The same way they love free owambe in real life. The only position they truly fought for President in 3rd Republic and Speaker in fourth Republic they were both disgraced out. While they were not even allowed to test the 3rd Republic Presidency, they were not allowed to complete their 8 years for speakership. Even the Military they got was out of necessity and Obj was pressured to return power to Civilian Government where a North-East cooperation got them the Vice President for a 2 terms. 37 Likes 3 Shares |

first point the typical IBO man will never take responsibility for anything. yes the north is very backward (in education and other indices) but the south is the major reason Nigeria has a bad image abroad. if any Nigerian commits a crime abroad, it will be a southerner 9 out of 10 times!!! yes!!! if it's fraud in the UK I can always guess it's a Yoruba man. if it's prostitution then it is definitely an Edo person. if it's drugs then it's definitely an ibo man. yet we all blame the north for the bad image of the country when the south is solely responsible for our crimes abroad!!! it's time for us all to fvcking accept we ruined this country collectively. then we can have a round table discussion where those that want to leave can do so and those that want to stay and make it work can do so. 34 Likes 4 Shares |
