Paradox In The Southwest by Ikengawo: 8:05pm On Feb 09, 2011 |
I've noticed that the southwest are probably the most consistently progressive or 'better-choice' voters. not just because i agree with their votes a lot of the time, but because they have a long track record of standing against total scumbags (Obasanjo, Babangida, Abacha, PDP in general and so on) but outside of Fashola they probably have some of the worst governors in the union and easily the most chaotic/violent politics as well. why so? On thing about the East and North i don't like and in particular the North is the two regions are very willing to give a bad idea a second chance, but there's strangely enough less of a heated polity in both regions |

. Its in the blood! Sometimes, the citizens have to disagree with their leaders when things are not right. The principle is called AWOISM! |

^^^^ not in the north all the time we rotate the power positions evertime |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by jason123: 8:20pm On Feb 09, 2011 |
alj harem: The SW do not rotate. They elect the best man for the job. . Also, they usually use the Awoism principle to capture the yoruba votes. |

@OP Have you asked yourself what happened to one political party called AD? I give the region solid credit for gravitating toward one political variable – tribalism. |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by jason123: 11:52pm On Feb 09, 2011 |
Dede1: . . . how do you explain Edo state? Edo is not SW, you know? |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by Nchara: 11:54pm On Feb 09, 2011 |
@op Give me a break, pulis. The same SW that voted 100% for the scumbag Obasanjo (according to you) in 2003? Did Buhari not contest then? Why did they abandon him? They were against Obj in 1999 simply because his only rival (Falae) was also a Yoruba, the type of Yoruba that appeals to mainstream Yoruba. The SW is sophisticated in playing ethnic politics and that is about all. They are masters of the game in Nigeria and that is probably the only thing the SE needs to learn from them. |

Nchara: Why the beaf now?? and why did you bring the SE into this Andre, can you see what I am talking about? |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by jason123: 11:59pm On Feb 09, 2011 |
@ Andre Read the above post. |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by Dede1(m): 12:15am On Feb 10, 2011 |
jason123: Do not play dunce. AD did not win beyond Ondo State during 1999 election. However, the story was written differently in 2003 election because the son of the soil resided at Aso Rock. If you want to make Edo State part of south western region since Edo State emerged from Bendel State via Mid-western region which in turn was part of defunct western region, I do not give ratarse. |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by jason123: 12:22am On Feb 10, 2011 |
Dede1: Haba, were we quarrelling before? If ACN was a tribal party, I am sure the citizens of edo state would not vote for them since they would not want to be "suppressed" by the yorubas, would they? Infact, Chime is flirting with ACN oo! |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by Dede1(m): 12:32am On Feb 10, 2011 |
jason123: If I should go by you deduction in bringing ACN to this discuss, I would say the Edo State in voting for ACN also voted Action Group and UPN. |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by jason123: 12:35am On Feb 10, 2011 |
Dede1: I do not really know much about the past political parties. . . . so you win |

jason123:Jason123, what is going on here. Why do you enjoy referring every Igbo poster as Andre?. |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by jason123: 12:42am On Feb 10, 2011 |
Andre Uweh: No, I am not saying he is you. I just wanted you to read what he said since we were talking about comparing on the other thread. |
Re: Paradox In The Southwest by AndreUweh(m): 12:47am On Feb 10, 2011 |
jason123:O.K. I will comment 2morrow, am feeling sleepy now. |
