solomon111: Btw,it's obvious beyond all doubts that the majority of christian northerners are pro-GEJ.
Though our voting pattern should mature beyond religious bias.

99/100:

The northern Muslim never voted OBJ. In their view he is a kapiri or an arne(a pegan or an infidel) and thus it will be a taboo voting for him.
Those elections were highly flawed.
@op, it is either u are being naive,ignorant or a hypocrite.

enigma_otr:
Speak for yourself man. Don't say what you don't know.
The last election was rigged in favour of GEJ. We don't give a damn who becomes the president here. Since my Governor is now in APC, I can assure you APC will win the next presidential election in my state. Believe it or not, that's the truth.

Obiagelli:
common folks who saw the tribal loophole and decided to take selfish advantage. I tell if a serious government gets power today, purge itself of corruption total and gets down to work, Nigerians will follow suite.

99/100:
99% Hausa/fulani and northern Muslims be it d Nupe-muslim ,Igbira-muslim etc vote on religion line. Are you also aware that Islamically, it is a sin for a Muslim to vote for a christian candidate against a Muslim candidate.
All this, d northern Christians are aware of.So blame them not if they vote on religion line as has being the case.

ilugunboy:

The bold is absolute fallacy.....which Yoruba Pentecostal church will campaign against Fashola on a ticket because he is a Muslim...mention one church that will do that ..just one? Living faith....? Redeemed? Daystar? Which one exactly do you have in mind.

The only way to dilute the SW votes with a Fashola on the ticket is pairing him with Buhari.

asha 80: self deceit...serious government is made up individuals who will explore any means legally(not necessarily morally) possible to explore the masses to explore votes....the country will not experience any meaningful change until the country restructures.

Obiagelli:
Sir what state are you from, we are also gathering data here. Thanks

dayokanu:

Are you a SW christian or who gave you the right to speak for Yoruba xtians.

I am a Yoruba xtian

Watch how all Yoruba xtians troop out to vote for our son Fashola or any popular Yoruba politician on the APC ticket regardless of his religion

The Yoruba who had no problem voting majority Moslems as their governors, Yorubas Moslem in Osun had no problems voting a xtian-xtian ticket for Oyinlola-Obada

Yoruba whether xtian or Moslems dont care for religion what comes first is our culture and heritage

PapaBrowne:

You have just reiterated my point. Everybody will happily vote a Fashola, but pairing him with Buhari on top of the Ticket quickly reminds people of the Muslim Muslim factor. Now if its not Buhari, it would have to be an ex PDP core northerner which most Yorubas would not connect with. PDP equals corruption. North stereotypically equals terrorism. That mix will sit most Yorubas at home.

enigma_otr:
Kwara.

PapaBrowne:

Yeah, that is the only plausible scenario but sadly APC has a huge problem where all its limelight fellas are Muslims except Fayemi. Thats why I made mention of the Muslim Muslim thingy. Be rest assured that if a muslim muslim ticket is attempted, you will be giving PDP a free ride because Pentecostal Yorubas are not voting a muslim muslim ticket...that you can be sure about. And they are a massive voting block. Infact they might present a protest vote against APC.

chukwudi44:

Don't mind these fools!! We are waiting to see how a muslim-muslim ticket will fly in these age of islamic terrorism

dayokanu:

You are not Yoruba and you are not a Yoruba xtian. I am a Yoruba xtian and I can confidently tell you that no single Church would campaign against a ticket that has Fashola

You are not Yoruba and cant understand. Yorubas dont care if almost all states now are ruled by Moslems or if Osun had a Xtian-xtian ticket in 2003.

Ray333: GEJ hav sympathy frm d majority of xtian northerners because i am among nd i bet u xtians in north wil beta vote gej over a buhari,tambuwal etc

PapaBrowne:

Dayo, you are a Yoruba xtian based in Texas or thereabouts. The Yoruba tongue speaking xtian who goes to redemption camp or Shiloh or MFm for convention every year has an entirely different outlook. He views the killing of Christians(be they igbo, birom, ijaw, yoruba) by Boko Haram the same way he viewed sanusi's actions on the banking industry: a grand design to Islamise Nigeria. Presenting a Muslim Muslim ticket will raise their hairs and would rush them out with protest votes for PDP.

papparatzzi2013:

It might work against then in other places, definitely not SW.

The question will be, what has the christian president got to show for his 6years.

Yes, buhari's profile might work against such candidature a little bit. But, I expect APC to field Tambuwal.

chukwudi44:

In this age of religious terrorism!! Bros better wake up and face reality!!

chukwudi44:

Even if you blow grammaer from now till 2015,it would not change the fact the religion/ethnicity will be the two major factors that will influence the voters choice of candidates in 2015.If APC should ever make the mistake of fielding a muslim-muslim ticket jonathan will not only win but will also record a landslide victory

dayokanu:

This is not Iboland where you are known for religious intolerance.

This is not Iboland that Islam isnt allowed to thrive. This is not Iboland where fellow xtians campaign on the basis of catholic vs Anglican

This is YORUBALAND and keep your bigotry to your side of the Niger

Obiagelli:
thanks, what is the general sentiments to Gej's government and how well will he do in 2015 in Kwara.

dayokanu:

I speak Yoruba tongue more than most people on this forum. I attend a Pentecostal church

And no single member of my home church or family have a problem with a Moslem Yorubaman

infact we(Yoruba xtians) can associate more with a Fashola, Aregbesola or Tinbu than a Jonathan, Peter Obi or Gabriel Suswan

How can fashola, Tinubu or Aregbe Islamize Nigeria or Yorubaland when they havent islamized their immediate family? These men sleep with xtian wifes daily, went to Xtian secondary schools, attend churches, have family members as xtians attend Redemption camp monthly celebrate xmas and easter as much as Ileya

You dont know Yorubas and you have no right to talk about them

Speak about your own people either as Ibo or Edo depending on which side you want to identify with today

Orlando Owoh:
It is obvious you don't know that difference in religion among the Yoruba doesn't create any tension. The governors and first ladies in the SW and Kwara State belong to different religions.
