Wow!! Op this trend is a very eye opener for me, I never thought along this line.. everything you said is on point

Why are nyamuri flat.heads generalizing the north as one, but when it come to south, they suddenly remember SW/SE/SS.. if that is they case, we should propagate for the jukun,Kanuri,tiv,berom etc to govern the country

I have always said it, we core northerners will never support an ibo presidency.. let them keep deceiving themselves that its their turn
grin
One day we will have an Eboe Head of State. It may well be that just like with the Hebrews(their kindred) who left Egypt not a single one of those who crossed the Red Sea made it to Jericho so also with this generation,time will tell.
My take is that they are filled with so much hate especially for the Yoruba I cannot see that happening for 30 years.

Like I said earlier and at the risk of repetitiveness

Your points are crystal clear and rock solid regardless. They contested against the SW in 1999. They supported GEJ in thwarting zoning in 2011. They can only fool themselves.

In 2019 when Atiku and Buhari (North) were frontrunners, did they not still present Moghalu & Oby?

Nobody is ceding any presidential ticket to the SE. Especially not APC.

Well, anybody is free to contest and test his popularity in 2023.

It is not an exclusive right of any region or person to contest.

So in 2023, Nigerians will look at the options presented to them and will vote accordingly.

Till then, stay calm, Farabale.
From *we* to Nigerians. Glad you have finally given yourself some sense.

Now you know, Nigerians haven't decided anywhere that presidency will remain in the North. You allowed your emotions overrun your senses and made a spectacle of yourself.

Think before you talk next time.

Yoruba Elders Meet Jonathan To Complain About Marginalisation - Smh

Written by Leon Usigbe, Abuja
Friday, 26 August 2011

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan met with a delegation of the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), led by Major-General Adeyinka Adebayo (retd), in the State House, on Thursday, as the leaders complained about being left out in the top six posts in the countr

aljharem:
this people are funny u know. Just i thought this people want to eat there cake and have it again

they all voted for ACN thus they want regional government ie fedralism

yet they still want the advantages of being in the mainstream politics

abeg make them go sit down angry

when it is time they should go meet tinubu there master
Afam4eva:





[Al_harem has spoken the truth. You cannot eat your cake and still want to have. PDP controls the center.So, states that will benefit from the center are PDP states. They should go and meet Oga Tinubu if they feel marginalized

This is a rubbishhhh post. You said the pdp zoned the presidency to the south, right? Now, last time i checked, igbos and ekwueme were part of the south in 1999 and had every right to contest for president. The hausas were sympathetic to the yorubas because they killed abiola, kudirat and jailed obasanjo. So what's the issue here? Was ekwueme not supposed to contest or what?
Why do you people keep asking the apc to zone their presidency to the south west? Why not use the term "south"? Why south west and not the whole south? If it's zoned to the south then any igbo man has every right to contest.

Never is such a long time.
The primary place where you can make any change in this life is in your own mind. How do we optimize our diversity?
We do not really talk to each other except to quarrel and threaten when we should be dialoguing and negotiating
I think if Nigeria is to amount to anything we must first understand ourselves.
The Eboes are quite easy to understand. Historically they never evolved any form of political organization or administration beyond the clan level . So historically they are not prepared for modern statehood .
I agree with them in the sense that Nigeria cannot go on as it is and so to that extent the presidency is not the real issue rather the issue is what do we have in common as "Nigerians" if we cannot find that commonality then they are right that we must break up.
We all have to make compromises. There are many in the core north" who act as if they won the Biafra war and so can impose their will on the rest.
That may work with 1 or 2 million not 50 million people. We must have a federal structure with resource control similar to what happened in the 60s if not we will never progress no matter who is president.

The Eboes are bitter about the civil war and other Nigerians have their different issues with them. The way I see it we have to find a way of compromising and reconciling but this must be based on truth and justice. Sadly many Eboe politicians and opinion leaders are very dishonest but this is the same in the North. I am biassed but of these 3 groups the Yorubas are the ones that do not seek to dominate anyone
The Eboes as a group are politically immature and so do not think strategically before acting . The contemporary Eboe world view is that they lost the Biafra war because of the Yoruba and this clouds their objectivity.
On the issue of presidency there was no reason for Eboes to vote Bashir Tofa who even lost in his home state of Kano .They did it out of hatred for Yorubas and then they tell themselves Yoruba hate them. A kind of Stockholm syndrome
The reason the SW want one Nigeria is very different from that of the North. The North does not think in terms of contributing but in terms of receiving with a strong sense of entitlement. I am sorry to say this but The north as it is today is a liability to the country. This can change in 20 years if education for girls particularly is prioritized and child marriage stopped.

The core north as you call it think very strategically but I am sorry to say it is the wrong strategy. It is not a strategy of human development but rather one of Islamism( i.e political Islam) . There is no country in the world where Islam (or Christianity) has brought economic development. The core north has to accept that Sharia has to go. If that does not happen then the country must break sooner or later. We have Islam in the SW but it is not the same as Islamism.
There are many in the North who like to kid themselves that it is just a matter of time before they achieve their Islamist aspiration

One thing we fail to realize is the extent to which our existence as a nation depends on European powers and the US. All we need to do is look at Syria,Libya and so on.
It will not take these powers 1 year to break Nigeria up into warring ministates while they drain our meagre resources
Hating each other therefore as attractive as it is is no solution. We must compromise,dialog and AGREE on a Nigeria by consensus.
I am in favour of dialoging with Eboes but not allowing them to rewrite history

The issue here is the claim that in 1999 presidency was zoned to the SW and the SE supported it and so now the SW should reciprocate and allow the SE to get the candidacies of both APC and PDP in 2023

Are we in agreement that this is UNTRUE
Ekwueme was entitled to contest and no one protested then

Now some are saying if SE are not given both tickets the sky will fall
We only mention this to prove that it was not zoned to the SW as many FALSELY claim.
Yes I agree that the APC presidency should be open to contest in the South but some people are saying it must be the SE only because the presidency was zoned to SW in 1999, a lie.

The south west has never demanded that APC should zone its presidential ticket to the region. Our position is very clear; the two leading political parties should zone their presidential tickets to the south.

Igbos on the other hand are the ones insisting that APC must zone its ticket to the south east or else, they will support a northern candidate on PDP platform.

2023 presidency belongs to the south and every zone have equal right to present candidates for the office.

We have heard the likes of fashola say that apc and buhari will zone the preaidency to the south west in 2023 if you people support buhari in the last election. And it's all over here in nairaland.
