Only the fool will allow religion to decide who should be voted into power. Being religious doesnt make people good except being rightous and God fearing.

To my own opinion, the north used the power of unity to vote for their own; what will you call it if they have voted enmasse for GEJ?

Majority of People in SW were just tired of PDP failed manifestoes for the past 16 years and GEJ made it easy for them due to his 2nd term ambition which led to PDP break up. PDP will never forget GEJ, it was his action to run for 2nd term even if the party faithfuls and supporters had to leave the party that made GMB to acheive his dream. GEJ is a true transformer, he has unknowingly transformed Nigeria's political atmosphere. Nigerians are now having confidence in INEC.

Its rather unfortunate the way some of us think, have u forgotten so fast how jona was gallivanting from one church to the other ably backed by so called CAN leaders, what was the message he wanted us to believe. Was it the same hate campaign that was spread in ss & se that made GMB to perform woefully in that region. Then come to think of it, was it the same infidel campaign that made most of the northern state governors to deliver for PDP. Guys enough of unnecessary sentiment david umaru defeated the incumbent gov. Of niger state. In a well dominated muslim senatorial zone. Guys think deeply the nigerian nation was just tired of PDP. Simple

The North, especially the Northern Muslims will be the last race to vote for a Christian as a presidential candidate in this country, this claim will soon be evident when APC present a Christian as a presidential candidate, worst still if he is from SE/SS.


We cry xenophobia in South Africa while we do worse here in Naija.

Naija Sha!

thefakestan:

1. Same subsidy APC is saying has to go, Labour is already threatening and the reduction to 97 naira didn't take a month! Not even up to 2 weeks.
2. He should have allowed the street protest boil to a "revolution " like in other Northern states?
3.
4.
5. What pitched Jonathan against the Tambuwal? Wasn't it because he wanted a south west speaker but the North and Tinubu ganged up against your own sister?
6. A promise that wasn't on video? Did Buhari not promise never to engage in Politics after 85? Did Buhari not promise never to contest again and cried after he lost in 2011?
7. 15 people died, a Sad event that I'm sure the president wasn't aware such recruitment was going on until tragedy struck. But to increase the number to 22 is appalling!
8. The last time I checked Diezani was the Minister of Petroleum, from the highest oil producing country in Africa, top 10 in the world, OPEC chairman and Gas association president also, If you expect her to catch BA flight to Paris and switch to Delta Air to attend a meeting in Houston and return same day to Dubai, then check yourself, Why didn't Buhari use public planes during the electioneering campaigns?
9. The judiciary needs reforms and GEJ showed he didn't want to interfere with the Judiciary and that kinda led to his downfall, He probably should have meddled with it like OBJ.
10. Alameiyesegha was framed by OBJ because of his fight for resource control and other "sins" the man is still so popular in Bayelsa if he should run against even GEJ, He'll win hands down!

11. Judiciary.
12. If you'll say to me that power hasn't improved @ all, then you are probably living in another country, where I am, we are guaranteed over 14 hours of electricity daily, is that enough? Probably not, but it's a huge jump from the OBJ era!


Thank you.

Pic showed voting pattern in 2011, you can see they didn't support him in 2011. Till infinity they won't support others.

with the aid of traitors in the south they got the number required to swing the elections.. At least the 'CHANGE' card cannot be played twice.. By 2019 I'll see what they will use

babestella:


The northerners played the "infidel"/religious card first. It was all a tool to get power back.

it is not a news that northerners has been playing religious sentiment,but if GEJ performed he will still get the vote of other regions e.g southwest,North central where he failed woefully,mind u Jonathan even play more than religious card,also tribal,ethnic sentiment and a lot propanga like name calling and his wife.....or what will u say to VP.sambo that campaigned in the north that APC want to christianize Nigeria ? people that voted Jonathan especially in the east ans south south,is it not on religious,tribal and ethnic sentiment that made them voted Jonathan because if by performance Jonathan should not ve Upto 30% vote in all region of this country...... guy no matter how u want to paint it Jonathan failed more percentage of Nigerians and reason they voted for change!

Please read this and tell me the presidential election was about competence.

We in the north will take over from Jonathan – Farouk Aliyu
on may 15, 2013 at 8:00 am in news
Facebook Share Twitter Share
By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, North
The face-off between the North and Niger Delta campaigners for Jonathan’s re_election in 2015, deepened yesterday with a former member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Adamu Aliyu, boasting that the north would remove the President through their enormous voting strength and not through the barrels of the gun.
There has been a wide gulf between ex-militants and northern groups over the re_election of President Jonathan in 2015 although he has not yet declared interest in the said election, claiming to be engrossed in the development of the country for now.
While the former fighters have threatened to make the country ungovernable if Jonathan is not returned in 2015, the north has stated that they will not support him for jettisoning the zoning arrangement, which would have retained power in the region after he might have served out the remaining term of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua.
Addressing a news conference in Abuja, Aliyu, a former minority leader in the House of Representatives, expressed regret that Jonathan had allowed his kinsmen to insult and intimidate the rest of Nigerians because of his re_election bid.
Describing himself as one of those who fought for Jonathan’s Presidency with the Save Nigeria Group, the Jigawa State politician wondered where the likes Asari Dokubo and his cohorts were when opposition mounted against the President’s inauguration as acting president.
In the conference text entitled, “Ungrateful President and his people”, Aliyu chronicled the different selfish actions and utterances by Jonathan since taking over the mantle of Nigeria’s leadership to show that he was more interested in the welfare of the Ijaw than other Nigerians.
Angered by the actions of the President, the northern politician pointed out that unlike in 2011 when the people of the area rejected their own and voted massively for Jonathan, they would reject him at the poll in 2015 to teach him a lesson that a Nigerian leader should not be sectional or tribalistic in the administration of the nation.
“We in the north will take over from Jonathan through the ballot box and not through the barrels of the gun as some elements threatened recently. By the grace of God, we shall take over from him,” Aliyu boasted.
“We call on President Jonathan to dissociate himself from those who are beating the drums of war and to call them to order so as not to truncate the democratic governance in Nigeria, which all Nigerians fought for.
“We know that it is only the President of a country that can boast that nobody can arrest him and nothing happens. But now, some people are threatening the law enforcement agencies and the National Assembly to dare arrest them and see what they will do without the President saying anything.
“As at today, we are all Nigerians and the President has the responsibility to treat us as Nigerians. But we are worried that he has kept mute over those planning genocide, hatred and destruction of lives and property because of their selfish interest.
Reminded that Chief Edwin Clark had corrected the impression created by Dokubo’s statement that there would be war if Jonathan loses in 2015, Aliyu flayed up, describing the Ijaw leader as one of the problems of Nigeria.
According to him, Clark has not done as much as he has been doing to bring about peace and unity in Nigeria.
Turning to the threat by militants that they would stop their oil resources from flowing to all parts of Nigeria in the event that Jonathan loses out in 2015, Aliyu stated that the oil resources of Nigeria belonged to all Nigerians and not an exclusive preserve of the Jiaw or any ethnic group.
He said, “We in the north believe that the oil in Bayelsa or Delta belong to us in Jigawa or any other state in the north. We shall therefore do anything humanly possible to defend that our oil in Bayelsa or anywhere else in this country.

it is not a news that northerners has been playing religious sentiment,but if GEJ performed he will still get the vote of other regions e.g southwest,North central where he failed woefully,mind u Jonathan even play more than religious card,also tribal,ethnic sentiment and a lot propanga like name calling and his wife.....or what will u say to VP.sambo that campaigned in the north that APC want to christianize Nigeria ? people that voted Jonathan especially in the east ans south south,is it not on religious,tribal and ethnic sentiment that made them voted Jonathan because if by performance Jonathan should not ve Upto 30% vote in all region of this country...... guy no matter how u want to paint it Jonathan failed more percentage of Nigerians and reason they voted for change!

Everyone played all manner of cards for this election. The fact is that even if GEJ had performed, they will still vote him out.

deletrue:
Tanko has said it all. I have said it. Look at Alrufai, look at Dino, look at many riif raffs elected under apc and then check Nuhu Ribadu. Al Rufia who with Obasanjo awarded all the Abuja planning to himself, Forcefully took away all the allocated lands from their rightful owners, resell all of them to friends etc is elected today as a governor. All these individuals put together can never be an inch match to Nuhu, yet he is down because he came under GEJ and pdp. Any way, whether we like it or not, there is nothing like one Nigeria. Some people can pretend, look the opposite side, there isnothing like one Nigeria. If we like, let us continue to force ourselves together, one day, just one day. It will happen and it will be desertrious because we have continue to force ourselves together and a point will come when the Nigerian system cannot comfortably stay together ans then will explode and turn into pieces. Rubbish country.

I dont think your presence in this country is for good. People need to watch out for the likes of you... E-warrior

What southern agenda will that be. Until the South comes to be identified as one. The North will always rule. Have ever heard someone from the North identify himself or herself as from North East, or North West people as we do in the south.To them they are all Northerners. In the south, we are either from SE, SW, SS or Mid West. Until we build an identity that we are one, I am sorry to disappoint you

The SW is the major problem we face in our the Southern region.. All they care about its their own and not ours.. the three southern geopolitical zones can come together and form a strong ally but an average Yoruba man will tell you that he is a Muslim and that he has trustee in the north.. The just concluded election just opened our eyes, by 2019, you will hear a new song from the Southern region..

rexbuton:

with the aid of traitors in the south they got the number required to swing the elections.. At least the 'CHANGE' card cannot be played twice.. By 2019 I'll see what they will use

Come 2019, power will still remain in the north but maybe under PDP, no one knows yet. Let's wait and see, God keeping us alive.

Ayus34:

thank God the guy only talked about what GEJ did for the notherner.....so tell me what he did for the people of southwest,because my vote was base on his performance for my region and the place I reside that directly affect me as a Nigeria but unfortunately he performed poorly.....so do u expect me to vote him
GEJ to me is a failure in all governance index!

This statement is why GEJ is no longer the President. This is the truth. My brother from the SS/SE we can either deny it or run away from the truth. Facts a stubborn things

Biased comments like this one should'nt appear for public digestion. Where was this clueless Tanko when the alleged north he is talking of voted, massively, for both OBJ and GEJ in previous elections. Or he wants us to believe that it's now that the north started heeding the. Imam's. sermons. The inability of Jona in tackling the insurgents, handling his corrupt officials, the stupidity of his wife and to robust and well organised campaign stragedy of the APC contributed to a large extend to failure of PDP.

babestella:

I have always made it clear that by 2019, we would love to see an Igbo man in power assisted by someone from one of the ethnic minorities in the middle belt or around Gongola state. If the core north refuses to accept that, then the Nigerian project has failed. And the entity should be burned down.. At least the north has been in power since 1999 either as president or VP.. In 2019, they should go on holidays

MugabeRobert:


Don't mind them.

2010 I was in a bar in portharcourt when yar adua died, you needed to see the celebrations. People declaring free drinks to commemorate with Jonathan and celebrate yar adua's death.

2010, we from southwest supported Jonathan with save the Nigerian group, the likes of Prof. Wole Soyinka, Tunde Bakare marched bare footed to demand the release of Jonathan from Turai's kitchen where he was busy cooking tuwo.


2011, we voted en mass for Jonathan but what happened afterwards?

He took the north and ibos as ally. He went and declared that ibos are the backbone of his administration and yoruba leaders are rascals.

Arthur Eze, ibo political leader said they don't want ewedu and amala party and don't want to have anything to do with children of awolowo and Jonathan was foolishly cheerleading him.

He starved us of any reasonable position in throughout his 6 years in power, he fought and ridiculed OBJ, the hand that fed him and single handedly picked him as vp.

Aside that Jonathan was too clueless and daft, he was also delusional to think bribing Obas in southwest or relocating to Lagos will make him win southwest.

GEJ didn't huniliate OBJ half as much as iyabo and gbenga did

The only way buhari can change Nigeria is to work with the NASS and re-structure Nigeria through the collapse of the states and local governments to regional governments and let the regions break up the LGs as they wish

Each regions should have full control of their resources contributing a fraction to the center for running security forces and the National assembly and judiciary and other key federal agencies

This way there will be rapid, simultanoues growth and resolutions of the problems plaguing Nigeria, which have lingered because Nigeria is improperly structured

If the "strong" OBJ couldn't do it...forget it

Hehehehehe, the APC you see today is 70% PDP.

The issue is that it was done b systematic rigging, which they used with the help of Jega, something i'm sure they'll perfect by 2019,

Since they'll have the military in their pocket and as they've shown, they'll leave caution to the wind, and force in down ur throat like it was done in Lagos and other states.

Under age voting?
Almost 100% PVC distribution in almost all the Northern states even the states fighting against Boko Haram where a lot of people have left their states?
Jega and APC wanted to hold elections on the 14th of February even after admitting over 20 million PVC was yet to arrive a week before the initial election date?



The truth is that the North will continue to Bully the remaining part of this country, they are united by religion and anyone that goes against what they say or think, is an infidel!!!

In 2019 if the APC decide to field a Candidate from the SS! Or somewhere else

PDP will field a Northern Candidate, or vice versa.

The North has 19 states, the South has 17, If u add any other region to them SS, or SW or SE then it's game over.m

rexbuton:


Because GEJ made a mistake that you and I may have made too... When you were a student if you lived on campus and wanted to run for an elected post would you see the need to campaign in your own room? or in your own block? GEJ wanted to return by all means, probably then he would develop his south but then he misread the game. He thought we were all brothers down south, that we would stand by him for his last stand. He focused on the North thinking they were the only people to be appeased but he didnt know that we had real fifth columnists down south. Like you said, he didn't do anything in your area, and that is a very valid point. He trusted you, thinking you could read beyond the news, thinking you could read his mind but he was wrong, he was a novice.

We southerners are angry at Jonathan because he did not correct the imbalances between north and south. If the north had massively voted for Jonathan and we in the south voted him out, it would have been more comprehensible and easier to take. Not the fact that the ones he trusted played the Infidel card on him.. so sad

We must learn a lesson from the sad tale of GEJ, no group is expendable. And the Hausas are not our rulers. Nobody has the birth right to rule

so is this Ur valid reason he should fail to perform for good six years.....because he expect me to wait for 6yrs after neglect. ....because he want to appease the north?he should ve leave the income of the region for that same period so that he can be busy with the north,not rubbing peter to pay Paul.......and also please get it clear Jonathan is and will never be my brother,I'm a yoruba man to the core,while he is an ijaw man....we ve nothing in common,and nothing like one south unlike the north.....so my loyalty is not to him,cox d south cannever and will never be one,so let address ourselves as one Nigeria for the main time and if the one Nigeria cannot work.....let the separation begin and we can see ourselves as neighboring country. .....I can't be one with a tribe that will not respect my culture!

Utter rubbish.

Patience Shepo Jonathan incited Northerners against Jonathan with her thoughtless, idiotic, bigoted and tribalistic rants........


Jonathan's clueless, corrupt and incompetent ways ultimately incited Nigerians against him...

So, blame Jonathan himself and his wife...

maybe he should ve performed and they still vote him vote then we can discuss base on that.... and mind you posterity can never be voted out!

deen4real7902:
Ok it is wrong for them to tell their members to vote for buhari but it is right for oyedepo and other pastors to tell their members to vote for jonathan?

liers like should be banned Oyedepo has never one day said vote GEJ carry your hating somewhere it is not needed on this forum

modath:
Same way the southern MOGs incited the SS, SE and SW against Baba.

The nine universities were supposed to be compensation for the BH massacre,economic downturn, facilities delapidation .... etc abi ??

God will help you people to see that Jona's undoing was his ineptitude and lackaidasical attitude to burning national issues and not any grand conspiracy.

The north have always voted for GMB, the only change this time is the NC and SW who swung the pendulum.

my dear don't mind this people that write base on their own sentiment because they refuse to see far.Let us start from the issue of religion,I think PDP or christain started it first.The persons of CAN president,Oyedepo and others who sees Buhari as anti christain.They never see Buhari as a candidate but as anti christ. Likewise the people from SE and SS,they see jona as a son,brother and family in christ.So if north announce a day to the election they tried their own and it works because of the support from SW and NC.What people forget to accept is every Zone except SE and majority of SS don't like Jona again.In 2011 SW and NC and some people from core north supported jona but reverse is the case this time around. In SW both the christain and muslim voted for GMB because of change and it reflected in the governorship and national assembly.The issue of religion should not be brought to jona's failure rather they should look at issue base that is what make them to loose.

janus05:
Despite the efforts of President Jonathan to seek the friendship of the core North by extending a reasonable size of projects to them, he was hated, hunted and turned down by these same peo­ple during the presidential elec­tion. What exactly happened?

Well, the people (core North) have been incited against Jonathan a long time ago. Even the educated ones were not fair in relating to his achievements in the region. They had made up their minds that Jonathan is anti-North. And whatever he has done, he remained an­ti-North. The fact that he sited nine of 12 new universities in the North in order to assist in bridging the educational gap that exists between the North and the rest of the country did not matter. The fact that he introduced the Almajiri schools which would reduce the number of young peo­ple who go about doing nothing but beg­ging also never counted to them.

In fact, somebody this morning, as we were discussing Jonathan, insisted that Jonathan was only busy sacking North­erners from federal establishments. But when I looked at the number of ministers and northerners in key positions, I real­ised that this very influential individual, who should know better, had made up his mind not to be objective about the issue. He was not prepared to listen to anybody. So, some people had made up their minds. The fact remains that there was this high level conspiracy against Jonathan, such that whatever he does, it would have been very difficult to con­vince people to abandon their already concluded opinion about him.

For instance, I was made to understand that a number of the members of the tra­ditional institution and influential clerics and university people, they all ganged up to spread one form of propaganda or the other against him (Jonathan). And this propaganda has already gone down deep into the minds of the people. The Friday before the presidential election, virtually all the imams in the North made a simple appeal to their congregations that when they go out the following day to cast their votes, they should make sure that they did not cast their votes in favour of an infidel. Just in one or two words, the campaign was finished. So, the follow­ing day everybody was charged to go and vote against an infidel. Who was that in­fidel? Jonathan. Even the Friday after the election, I attended a mosque where the imam was offering thanksgiving prayers to God for getting rid of an infidel.

Still, on this topic, what about the PDP members who also failed to rise up to defend their own and their party?

That is not my problem today. My prob­lem is that we in the far North have acted out the script of Gideon Orkar. We have opted out of the mainstream of Nigerian politics and I am waiting for the time to come when we would realise the conse­quences of our action.

When you say that you people have acted out the script of Gideon Orkar, what exactly do you mean?

Let me put it this way. This country is a country which is equally divided between Christians and Muslims. Where a Muslim would not vote for somebody because he is a Christian, then there is a problem. It may not appear immediately but there is a long time predicament that would one day appear because when someday it is the turn of a Christian to vote for a Mus­lim, surely this thing happening today would boomerang.

I can now say with confidence that if all Northerners are wicked they will surely remain one Goodman. If all northerners are bokoharam there may be one lifer and that may be Tanko. Tanko knows the truth will also hurt hself but he chose it. Therefore, I say Tanko deserves five emirs' respects. Including respect of emir of kano and sokoto.

I completely agreed with you. In 2011 the coalition was there. Just look at that election map. Jonathan could have seen that he didn't need the North to win but he lost it.

Good ! I love this.. This was what I didn't want to be the first to say.. We are not brothers, the one Nigeria gist is a tale for housemaids..
It's only sad that you're just saying this now, instead of far back in 1999.. My people back in the south are illiterate and cannot see beyond what's fed to them on newspapers and radio.. They still believe the one nigeria dream and would still vote your brother in the next elections.. I know things are not quite different in the east too
Jonathan failed everyone south of the Niger and if I were his brother, I would flog him.. But nothing spoil sha.. He's outta there and your brother is there now, even if he's in assistant slot he can still swing things..
But i will make it very clear to you that this elections have made things very clear to Nigerians, that a new era of ethnic nationalism has been born, where everyman would decide his own fate.. In 2019, the Yorubas would want power back, I hope they have sufficient numbers because the day the Youruba man goes to meet the Igbo man for votes, it would be similar to the rat meeting the cat for a matchbox.
The prospect of a stronger alliance with the North is very appealing, but you know your tribe cannot do that without the south being put in play..

I can see that you are not a numbers man. So i am going to try and help you out. Add the whole middle belt, along with your so call Gongola state to SE, and SS.

Add the SW to your equation then you might have a chance. I know this is not what you want to hear, but it is the bitter truth.

Also mentioned any country where this type of decampees are record in the world? What the hell is wrong with your brain region? The entire west, except Ekiti. Have you had or seen that kind of election? Tell me if GEj was the person WHO killed Jesus Christ that only one state voted for GEJ in the entire west. What about the north?

Why cant we southerners just call ourselves as one like the Northern people do? Why does it have to be SW/SS/SE. We are southerns we have more than 75% of things in common, but we allow the 25% in differences to cloud our judgement. That is madness.

You guys just find a way to say my mind.. I said these months back and people were saying that we were wishing Buhari death , now here is a youruba man saying it.. Unfortunately, in modern nigeria, no none is ruler and no one is king maker.. You have a valid point being a stickler for numbers but at times the measures are different. 1 + 1 is not always 2..

I think u didn't know history. ....I can tell it to Ur face that the east has never support the west before and after the civil war....infact the same north u guys are rejecting today has been Ur political partner even before independence and reason Ur lord ojukwu was compensated with a ceremonial post.....even Ur warlord supported shagari and babangida....so I don't understand what I mean by seeking political assistant from you,the relationship that has never and will never exist? this will be the only time in history that a Yoruba formed party aligned with a northern party and Ur party was also invited which u refused because of Ur hatred....while azikwe aligned with NORTHERN PEOPLE'S CONGRESS,awolowo was satisfied with Action Group....so I didn't see the alliance u re talking about.....thank God same Nigeria u are tired of today,azikwe brought us into this mess despite awo going against it and even qualifying it with a mere geographical region and even suggested any aggieved region should be allow to separate without war through our constitution which Ur same son azikwe objected far there in UK,before ojukwu saw it and fought a senseless,unplanned war.......brother go back to Ur history book and not what Ur aggrieved father is telling you!

yorubas!
