tobtap: tafa balewa is not fulani..he belong to a minority tribe in bauchi,gowon is beron,ibb is gwari and abdulsalam is hausa.. i think nigeria dont need to elect a president based on his tribe but based on merit and what such have to offer

idumuose: Thanks for d info bro.I never knew IBB is Gwari and Gowon
Berom and Andusalami Hausa while Tafawa Balewa isn't Fulani
Thanks.

idumuose: Som1 posted here that Abdusalami is Hausa while Gowon
Is Berom.But I also know that Nupe is found in the
Majority in Niger state.Prof.Jerry Gana is also Nupe.
Ɣ☺u said the middle belt has had a shot at the
Presidency for 17 years but if Ɣ☺u add up those of Abdu
Salami's administration that lasted for 11 months,it
Will bring the total number of years that the middle
Has ruled to 17yrs 11months.
Thanks for d info.

Abagworo:

Tafawa Balewa is Sefawa, Gowon is Angas, IBB is Gwari while Abdulsalami is Nupe. The Middlebelt has ruled Nigeria most in number of years and time. IBB and Gowon had a total of 17.

Gamji007:

From what I have learnt here on Nairaland, there is no more Middlebelt. They have now formed alliance with the SS,as such, adding GEJ's 3yrs rule, we can conclude that the South South have ruled the country for 20 years.

@op, don't you think the Hausas should be given the chance to rule,since they have only ruled for 6months while the Igbos who are now part of the South south,have ruled for over 20yrs and still have their son Azikwe in power?

dontjealousme: Looking at the chat above, it doesn't take a genious to know that the next President should be Igbo.

iwonbaoko: With regard to Ibo president that won't fly, it is a settled issue that NEVER NEVER again can an Ibo rule Nigeria. That is a complete no go area. They are the ones that brought coups and tribal killing to Nigeria
Of course they will be allowed to contest in keeping with our constitution but Nigerians have decided NEVER NEVER to vote for an Ibo president. We all know this even a child still breastfeeding knows this so there is no need to heat up the polity. They can be president of things like MASSOB OMATA etc. Every Ibo man knows this too. Uche face your work oo!

IGBOSON1:

^^^Pray tell, when did 'Nigerians' meet to decide that an 'Ibo' can never rule this country? Or are you taking the sentiments of some Yoruba; some Hausa/Fulani and yourself as a reflection of the position of all 'Nigeria'?

And while you at it, can you enlighten us on just what 'one Nigeria' means to you; and your take on Nigeria fighting to keep Biafra in your 'lovely nation'?

Cheers!

From the south we can have Ijaw,Ogoni,Edo,Urhobo or Efik President no problems. Ibos should understand how Nigeria works.

Kponkwem:

Putrid, Ebola-infested smelly mouth. I am Igbo and so are my kids and millions of others and we must as of necessity have an Igbo President either now or soonest! Your inconsequential type are the reason why several forces are pulling that Nigeria does not last beyond the next five years.

iwonbaoko:

Nna how makate??
I can see that it is a subject that gets you very agitated and aroused. Please do not misunderstand,I am sympathetic to your plight as an Ibo chap and and Ibo peeps i.e your personal frustration and your group angst . Honestly I sympathize and if if were down to me I would seriously consider intervening. The truth however is that an Ibo man can not convince Nigerians to vote for him in significant numbers that is the bitter truth. In fact Nigerians would rather have a Ghanaian as President and you know that is saying a lot . Think about it any president of Nigeria needs to win 25% of the votes in 24 states now which states is this possible?? Let us be sincere with each other You guys should be content with your portion and stop trying to heat the polity

Now since you folk are quite fond of dispersal and do not particularly like Eboeland there is an obvious ready made solution. [b] Those of you in the Kano diaspora can adopt Islam and change your names to something like Ibrahim Musa etc while those of you in Lagos can become Muyiwa or Obafemi etc [/b]and then in about 3 or 4 generations if you are fully compliant then who knows.........
Certainly you don't expect Nigeria to have a President with a name like Sookoodi or Shinaydoo as if Goodluck is not bad enough. Please try and see things from our perspective
