duality: You see the reason why I said that most Nairalanders speak authoritatively on issues they know nothing about? One reading the responses from that thread " https://www.nairaland.com/1411961/amaechi-others-float-new-party " will think the people responding are informed. rather they simply wallowing in their silly sentiments.

Lately, I rarely make comments on NL because it has been taken over by iddiots and kids. What do you expect from a forum where people are typing "1st to comment" and "10th to comment". It is so childish here these days. You just feel like you are talking with kids and illiterates. NL has lost its position as a major platform for debate in Nigeria and the MODs have even made it worse. Politics in Nigeria is very easy to analyse because certain facts are entrenched

1. North does not do opposition
2. Politicians are all selfish and would not jettison where they have good foothold to go somewhere else where they will have little influence.
3. Any politician that forms a new party is simply one that has lost all his powers and influence in the old party
4. Nigerians don't get carried away with cliches like APC et all. Nigerians follow powerful names, individuals, entrenched parties and regional interests. A combination of these factors will always determine the outcome of voting

The only thing that will make Amaechi form a new party or join another party is if he is finally expelled by PDP. And he wouldn't even fancy that because it will not make any difference to GEJ's hold on the south south. The south south will overwhelmingly vote GEJ in the next election, except he doesn't contest. 1000 Amaechi's will not change that. The south east will overwhelmingly vote GEJ in the next election, even if APC or APGA wins Anambra and Imo. Okorocha will not have a single influence over how Imo state people vote in the presidential election. The five governors gallivanting around in the north will not have any significant influence on the overall northern vote. Al Mustapha will probably have more influence than them.

And some people were sacked for being loyal to 'radical' Governor Amaechi?
Abeg! This election period don dey make me confuse. 2013-2015 is hot.

Compliance: PDP should reconsider her stand on the issue of Amaechi and these other governors...like Amaechi and some of the governors have pdp blood flowing in their veins...having them in the party will keep pdp strong. VOP, APC, atiku's party, APGA, accord, labour would actually break the ego of pdp so ts better to reconcile and get more geographical strength.

I enjoyed your post until I got to the bolded part. If president Jonathan was to be a northerner (and maybe a muslim), the governors you described as gallivanting around in the north would have been of less a danger to Jonathan's second term ambition. I don't think it will be easy for Jonathan in the north, should those five governors invoke religious and ethnic sentiments against President Jonathan - especially if he contests against a northern/muslim opponent. Not surprised Jonathan axed Odimegwu to get into the good books of Kwamkwaso.
