Why are you not so smart?

The merger was 2014, we are in 2015 now, check your calendar.

They have used him to achieve their objective.

They have started frustrating him.

They sent him on a wild goose chase.

Buhari simply asked him to go and wait for him somewhere. Told him he was coming, waited in his residence till the selection process was done, then sent to your god that it's needless for him to come again since the whole thing has ended. Imam went ahead to say he would respect the decisions.

Your god was left to react so angrily and made inconsequential remarks about recognition or no recognition, as if his recognition count for anything. His town crier, Lai Mohammed, was left foaming in the mouth.

Tinubu is back to opposition. Starting all over again but this time without any coherent vision and with a handful loyal worshipers like you.

tobtap:

there is no self denial...tinubu was instrumental to buhari wining the election....u can jugde his success thru buhari political appointments... u cannot expect members of the national assembly to be loyal to tinubu...cos tinubu is not saraki Godfather neither is he the Godfather in a state like bauchi...my point is that u and article have not given any valid evidence that tinubu has lost anything...lawan and gbajamila are APC candidates not tinubu's....

NOBODY is Igbo political master. We are individually masters of our own fates.

As for the Fulani, "monkey dey clever be say tree dey". In Nigeria, the Yoruba have consistently played the role of the tree upon which the Fulani demonstrate their cleverness to the chagrin of other groups in Nigeria.
The last election proved that point fully.

They've already started playing dirty and the first casualty is the biggest Yoruba political gladiator of this era. Go figure....

mauriceju2:
Mark my word : the Hausa man can never never never never change Nigeria for good, it is not in their blood to do that, the day anybody will be able to bring Yoruba’s and Igbo together will be the day Nigeria will change for good, pdp cannot do us good and apc is the same with apc, look for a way to great a party that can bring Igbo’s and Yoruba’s together and you will see Nigeria change for good, Hausas does not have any power , their strength come from Igbo’s and Yoruba’s disunity.

omenka:
Yeah, I'm on leave. Do you have a problem with that??

This is the kind of thread that tingles the taste buds of ethnoreligious bigots like you and sadly, I'm not one of your type. If I don't comment, does that make the article any less interesting to you?? What exactly is your problem.

Let me repeat it for the last time, and I desperately hope it sinks this time no matter how impervious your brain is: I don't care the tribe of who leads Nigeria, what I care about is good governance.

Get that into your head dude, and stop following me around this forum. I'm not here for you and I believe you aren't here for me either. State your opinions and keep my moniker out of your bullucks. I am not interested.

Goodnyt, and go get something useful to do with your life.

And while at it, get yourself some good education mr "remindal".

To think that Tambuwal couldn't come out to endorse and aid Femi Gbajamila is heartbreaking. Femi was the ringleader of those that voted for him in 2011 , he even jumped fence for Tambuwal yet Tambuwal didn't waste time in visiting Dogara , the new speaker....Damn !!! Politics is cold.

Fulani oligarchy is back and recharged, ready to rule SW for the next 100 years, ie after Biafra has since seceded.

mcino:

Don't mind him. And Tinubu is not just an idiot and a pawn used by the Fulanis to get power back to the north? Yorubas are not the only people from the south that can play politics if betrayal. The single reason why Igbos supported Jonathan that much is simply southern solidarity and not because of the nonsense Azikiwe appendage. In the whole south, outside the Yoruba, Ijaws are the most antagonistic to Igbo's. If not for southern solidarity, why would we blink our eyes. Tinubu was able to convince his Yoruba peeps to see Igbo support for Jonathan from tribal lenses and viola, Igbo's were labelled tribalists for supporting somebody that is not from their tribe. After betraying the south, Yoruba's are now crying, when the head is already off. ...... Igbo's will continue to pay them back by supporting the Fulani's in humiliating them as a pay back..........

lokoloko84:
Other politicians like who?Why did not buhari,saraki and co team team up with these so called politicians before the merger.
Can you mention those politicians that are credible presently in SW?

Volksfuhrer:


It's easy to talk now with the benefit of hindsight. That period was a state of heightened fear and uncertainty. Many decisions were rushed, with untoward consequences.

For instance, Awo could not have toed the line of secession because the Yorubas were not prepared for war. In the last meeting Awo had with Ojukwu, he pointed out to Ojukwu about the unpreparedness of the Western Region. He asked Ojukwu for two weeks to consult with his people, after all he understood he could never force anything on them. Awo was still en route to the West when he heard about Ojukwu's declaration of the new state of Biafra! You see, there was no way Awo would trust Ojukwu, if he could not have Awo in confidence. Awo knew immediately after Ojukwu's declaration that Ojukwu no longer needed him, which effectively destroyed any further possible alliance.

atlwireles:


What is there to applaud, sorry I don't see it. The Fulanai political position is well known in Nigeria, there is no deftness and finesse involved. The fools willingly leading themselves into bondage is the tragedy needs explanation.

hansad:
Selfish Pursuits - all of them:

Baba Awolowo was promised by Fulani that he would succeed Yakubu Gowon. For that, Baba Awo advised Yakubu Gowon to jettison the Accord made in Aburi which was agreed upon by Nigeria and the rebel Eastern region in the presence of Internationale mediators.
The result was a nasty civil war that claimed nearly 2 million innocent lives, mostly children.

The kernel of the Aburi Accord was reintroduction of Regional government system with fiscal federalism.

Unarguably, the Southwest region, and indeed all parts of Nigeria, should have advanced by far with development, more than what they are today, if Aburi Accord was honoured.

abinsco25:
Fulani will always continue to rule us as long as the south west, south east and south south regions failed to be one.

buhari teamed up with the tinubu block to get what he wants......to buhari, tinubu is a means to an end.......

Fashola, fayemi and even some pdp members will only be too happy to displace tinubu

Shymm3x:


Lol, I understand the dynamics of their culture and mentality, from an historical POV - and I know how they operate. Heck, I told Eurobomber last week that they're just warming up with their vengeance. Seriously, who among the Nigerian elites doesn't fear them? Even the normal folks fear them, judging by the way their bororos (the pikeys among them) go around killing/maiming folks with impunity. The first law of power is to put fear in people and they've mastered it. Anyway, I honestly don't know how folks can be shiit-scared of people who bleed just like them, to be honest.

Unity in the South is a pipe-dream based on how the country was structured from the get-go. The overly aggressive and emotional temperament of Igbos will never be able to unite properly with the peaceful and jolly temperament of the Yoruba. More like a cat and mouse game. And that will always play into the hands on the Fulanis, the owners of Nigeria - with just basic divide and conquer strategy.

lokoloko84:
Maybe you should read my post again.
We will never have the so called gentlemen like politician's in the SW for a long time after the current ones.
Go and study the political history of South west.The so called Fulani cannot play dirty politically than a typical thorough breed Yoruba politician.

Menobista:
This is my first time on Nairaland and am happy to be here.

thotsofnaij:
You are missing the point in my post as to why the igbo's went with a side other than the yoruba side. It was because awo sowed discord and distrust between both sides. Read what I said and comprehend it. It is the truth and till date it has led to discord between east and west. In all his dealings with the east awo believed it was better to burn them so i can benefit from the north. Unfortunately he always ended up getting burned. Same with tinubu which I knew would happen and already is happening.
