The only geo-political zone that is hell-bent religious intolerant is the SE. Edo and Delta states are to some extent religious tolerant. In Edo north, for obvious reason(s) a place like Auchi will vote for APC.

abu12:


Chino u lied, north central state Christian don't bother about religion. Most of the family in north central states are mixed family, like SW. we are not religious bigot like SE

omenka:
A Fashola who banned the wearing of Hijab in public schools.... Please ignore the useless swine. They aren't worth a micro-second of your time. Let them keep all that Jonathan's scaremongering in the SE. The people of SW are damn too educated for all that nonesense. Fashola and Buhari can both be Buddhist Monks for all most of us care, as long as they can get the job done, we got no problem with what else ever.

arsetalks:
I don't think APC is even bothering with the SS/SE. We all know GEJ will clear the votes in those areas. APC only needs SW, the core north and some of the North east/north central.

[size=13pt]And if you think the Christians in the north will vote GEJ en mass then you are on a long thing[/size]. A good number of people in that zone have it in for GEJ. They believe his administration has a hand in boko haram or is deliberately not doing something to end the killing.

Buhari/Fashola ticket is a masterstroke that PDP seriously need to worry about.

Mogidi:


Two days ago, (Saturday) The Independent Electoral Commission declared Mr John Tiav of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), winner of the re-contested Buruku Federal Constituency seat in Benue.


Only 395 people bothered to vote APC in Buruku, anything lower than the quoted figure and the APC would have lost their deposit.

Bros elections are not won on the internet. https://www.nairaland.com/1956986/pdp-wins-buruku-federal-constituency#27280953

Please define religious intolerance, did wee not vote Abiola/Kingibe ticket? Have you ever heard of any religious crisis in the South east. The fact is that so much has happened to South Easterners in recent years in d name of religion that we can't afford to just fold our hands, wether we like it or not, religion is a serious political tool in dis country and every party must recognise that, in as much as I don't want us to mix religion and politics yet I can't just wish it away because it is deep rooted in this country. The most religious intolerant region in this country is the North. At every slight provocation they kill and maim our people yet you folks want to force down a muslim/muslim ticket down our throat, my brother if u re in my shoes you won't accept it. Lets call a spade a spade.

Pls i want u to answer this honest question:
(1) can northern Muslim vote Christian/Christian ticket
(2) why did Buhari in 2011 ask Muslim to vote only Muslim ticket
(3) If northern Muslim can not vote Christian/Christian ticket why should i as Christian vote Muslim/Muslim ticket?

Mogidi:
Christians in the SW may have been trampled upon but Christians in the North Central SS/SE have not been subjugated as the ones in the SW.
A Buhari/Fashola is a hint the SW and the North wants full sharia. We will not be part of it.

SamIkenna:



In the nutshell you're saying SW will vote for a ticket that has one of their sons in it - that is: if a ticket has their son they vote for it but if it doesn't .... they vote objectively. Now, you see why 2015 is 'the' year of reckoning? I guess I'm loving the stalemate: who will win, who will be declared, and who will lose.....This, indeed, will make a blockbuster.

Mogidi:


I don't think folks in SS/SE will contemplate having two muslim rulers. Why not two Christian rulers and then watch as dozen new boko haram movements spring up. The Northern/Muslim hegemony has been broken and long may it remain so.

emmasege:
I perfectly agree wt fashola as VP but not as him pairing up wt a northern muslim. The last time I checked Nigeria still had 19 northern states. Why is it so difficult to get a northern christian as d flag bearer? Simply because it's not about power returning to f north but to a Muslim.
Save for Gowons era, it's always been a Muslim anytime a northener is in power & a Christian anytime a southerner is in same position. For once, I'd like to see a northern Christian as president and a southern Muslim as VP. Nigeria belongs to all of us!

saintneo:
Let's stop deceiving ourselves.
Why can't we have Fashola contest for presidency? Why can't APC field a "performer" rather than a "pretender"?
If Buhari is genuine, then he should retire to the background just like other elderstatesmen; Gowon, Obasanjo, et al. APC should not impose Buhari on the people.

ISpiksDaTroof:
If Nigeria truly belongs to you all, you currently have a Christian President that's been there for 5yrs, before that, you had OBJ that was there for 8yrs...

It's starting to seem to me that Nigerian Christians are actually more intolerant than their Muslim counterparts than I previously thought.

Kinkale:
Laffing in spanish!! Seriously trow the recycled trash away.. Am from the south but won't object to a fashola and any oda southerner or easterner.. Let the north go and die.

anonimi:


Why is your ARITHMETIC so deficient
Jonathan has been president for five years

BTW, why stop with Jona and OBJoke when Nigeria has been in existence for 54 years?

ISpiksDaTroof:
54 years and Christians had no hand in its rot?

The biggest problem with yall Nigerians is your hypocrisy. Lies, burying your head in the sand and ignoring truth are your expertise.

ISpiksDaTroof:
The only people suffering are ordinary, poor people. Your fight should be against the Northern Political elite. What you're doing is like ordinary Ibos being punished for the since of Andy Uba, Nzeribe, Peter Obi etc

You need to stop being so hateful.

Omimah:

1. Yes. If, say, David Mark or T. Y. Danjuma (two strong northerners of the christian faith) picks any popular southern politician.
2. Give me the link.
3. Answer given in (1) above.

Mogidi:


Bros am not Igbo am from Edo state and as for being hateful, you couldn't be more wrong. Stating how marginalised the SW Christians are can hardly be described as hateful. You will recall I said in my post that Muslims wouldn't agree to a Christian/Christian ticket. Whats good for the goose is also good for the gander.

soroptimist:


You better save your energy from engaging people like Shigidi whose soul has no iota of objectivity

Charlatans like them for want of nothing superior to say will resort to stale ethnoreligious National Anthem of Sharia,Islamic agenda to paint a fantastic ticket of Buhari/Fashola bad

Yet we know that Fashola's wife of about 20years is a Christian and we never heard she was forced to convert to Islam

Mogidi:


Anenih's sagacity is renown in Nigeria but more so in Edo state.

It was through working with Anenih that the courts overturned Osunbor's reign, thus making Oshiomhole our governor.

Anenih has the staying power of Awolowo, the manipulative strenght of Babangida and best of all, the oral skills of Obama, you really need to be in his presence.

Anenih has surpassed Anthony Enahoro (the man who moved the motion for independence) as the greatest politician ever to come from Edo state.

There is no one like Anenih, he's a rare breed, Baba Anenih I hail O0oo.

According to Anenih, if only one person votes next year, that vote will be PDPs, let me not say too much.

Watch this space.

Your assumption on David Mark and T Y Danjuma is a mere illusion because the reality on the ground says otherwise, No other ethnic group or religious organization has clamorize about political post in Nigeria than Northern Muslim.
Yes Buhari asked Muslim to vote only Muslim candidate in 2003 (not 2011)
