Because I don't want to waste my vote, he won't win, because PMB will contest, and if he do, he will win...

Besides I prefer Tambuwal.....

Yes The North is parasitic on the South ..That is a fact .It is not a matter of failed leaders.Just that the North brings nothing to the table and has a strong interest in the status quo.

The issue for me is more than changing president but whether we want to continue as one Nigeria.

The fact is Nigeria can only be held together as it is now by force. A wedding at gunpoint. How long can we continue like that.

The problem then is the parasitic north needs to give up its appetite for oil money and start thinking of what to contribute

Let us start practising true federalism and not wait for a resident to transform the whole country. Let the component parts transform themselves
Do you imagiine this herdsmen thing can continue indefinitely?

The issue is not the presidency but federalism
Please keep telling yourself that. Majority of states in the so called south are also parasites and bring nothing to the table example I gave you like Ebonyi where the governor is vehemently against the restructuring. Propose a change of status quo and what over 70% of states from the so called south fight it withal they got.
Personally I wish the country would restructure on whatever ground the oil producing states want it. I know my state can make about the N4bn on food produce we bring down south. we'd simply put a 500% levy for every produce transported down south. and let's see which is more important, food or oil.

The whole regionalism was the idea of the north in the first place, because we knew it would be the best system for everyone.

The southerners seized power and abolished the regional government we are in a mess today and you are still blaming the north.
Getting a president that would make things work is more realistic than achieving restructuring from nowhere.
None of your so called representatives in the legislature has proposed a bill towards amending the constitution to restructure Nigeria in to federation units but you are here ranting. How is the country going to be restructured by continuing to rant online that north are parasites?

It's actually the opposite, he wooudlnt win if people like you have this attitude and never vote for him.
Also it's more honorable to vote for the best candidate even if he doesn't win than not to vote or vote for wrong candidate. Your conscience would be clear.

Let's hear his manifesto.
Lets know his true backers.
Let him express his motive.
What is his economic blueprint?
Let him state his position on critical national topics.

We should be wary of supporting just anyone for emotional reasons.
The lack of all these is precisely the reason why I don't support him: he hasn't bothered to share any specifics of how he'll do things differently, just the same vague generalities about being "detribalized" and "fighting corruption" that everyone else spouts at election time. Unlike certain low-IQ types who fixate on tribe to the exclusion of everything else, I don't really care whether Sowore is from the same village as I am, or even if he's my first cousin by blood: what I want from him are concrete things like what his economic philosophy is, what specific steps he'll take towards decentralization, how he'll reorganize policing, what he'll prioritize spending on, how he plans to raise funds for his programs, etc. It's good that Sowore doesn't have the dubious record of someone like Atiku, but as Buhari has shown, good intentions aren't enough without plans or a coherent ideology of governance.

PMB is not the problem, the corrupt and dubious people he puts in charge are.

Naah that's not an excuse Sir. We could have voted for GEJ again na in 2015. The sole advantage of democracy is that we get to replace under performing leaders periodically.

PMB will have his second term..... It's settled, others can Come on board then.

Thank you sir for that wonderful input. I agree with you. Let's wait and see (a) the party he joins, (b) the people he brings into the campaign (c) his manifesto and plans for the country's problems. However, I'd rather support him with hope that he might do better than continue to support this directionless administration.

OK if you say so.

I doubt you are a bigger fan to PMB than I, but I believe the cabal has taken over everything, he has little knowledge about what goes on not to talk of doing anything.
But let's hear from you what makes a continuation of this administration the best choice.
Do not shoot yourself on the foot. Who is the cabal, what are there names? How did they come about? You see it enough reasons you want to be seen as not not supporting Buhari but do so without apologies. Don't append such fallacy as cabal etc. Something you can't quantify. Like I said, I have loads of reasons to continue with PMB so also do many. But when one log into this forum, one will think PMB has not even increased the foreign reserve at least. And maybe people like you base their wavering believe on comments here emanating from some of the worst illiterates and ignorant lots on this forum.

That they get likes doesn't me it's the right thing.
Like I said, anyone can challenge me to a debate on why I should support PMB in 2019. In that debate I will vomit my reasons. But dem fit? They prefer to type jargons and get likes from fellow illiterates.

First of all I do not support or not support him .I will listen to him first but I will like to challenge the logic of your position.

Firstly Yahaya Bello is not the first Youth to rule in Nigeria
Tafawa Balewa was

Ironsi was 42
We had Gowon reportedly 29 when he became Head of State
Murtala Mohammed Must have been very close to 40. Obasanjo was 39
Buhari was 45
IBB was 41
Yar adua was 56

Shagari was about 55


Fashola was 44 when he became governor
Amaechi was 42
Akpabio was maybe 45

Should I mention that Buhari was Governor about 10 years before he became Head of State .
Diete-Spiff must have been in his 20s when he became governor of RIvers state.
and they all failed
no be by age

So factually your argument is wrong


Logically too let us assume that factually you are right and say we gave Yahaya Belllo who is a youth a chance and he failed.That leaves 35 other governors who are supposedly not youths. Have they succeeded? The premise of your arguent would imply that the NON_YOUTH governors are doing well.Is that so? My argument would be let us have 18 non-youth governors to compare 18 elders before drawing any conclusion .

Factually however the truth is most of our leaders have been youths when they took office.
In fact Buhari and Obasanjo are the only ones who have been over 60

The main problem with Sowore is TRACK RECORD and politicaal experience .

He is Yoruba.

Yorubas are not the only ones in the country.

Others know how to rule too.
Is anyone stopping others from contesting?
