Do you think minority Nigerian men stand a better chance of ruling Nigeria before any Nigerian woman(whether they're from the major or minor tribes)?

Barrack Obama made history few days ago by achieving the democratic nomination at the expense of women. Cheers,felicitations from friends and even foes applauded him. What have you learnt from that? If barrack could get a chance, what makes you think that minorities or women will not get a chance to rule Nigeria? Are we going to be fixated on 'no, women can never make it in this age' and let men hold the mantle over and over again. I don't know about you, but as for me, I'm sick and tired of men turning our economy and nation into shreds. I have a select few in mind but I'll really love to hear your 'she' nominees for presidency in Nigeria in the next dispensation.

Obama sucks!!!!!!!!!!

McCain all the way!!!!!!!

The change we need in Nigeria is not about gender, religion or ethnic
We need a competent Nigerian to be our president, man/woman where ever he/she may come from
Obama was nominated because he is competent and can rationalize his vision!
Being black is secondary, although it gives me this "feel good" sentiment

well said ! be it a "she" or a "he" it doesnt matter as long as the fella is compentent and willing to make positive changes.

Woman to rule a country like Nigeria??. . . .Impossible!

i don't want to sound pessimistic but i don't believe Nigeria will be get an Obama or Hillary for a least a 100 (oops) i mean 50 years

more like 900years!!
Its not that there are no Nigerians like that but they wont just allow them to get to that position!

Actually, I'm not concerned about gender when it comes to ruling Nigeria . I just want a leader that knows his/her left from his/her right.

Obama sucks or not, he's made history in an unbelieveable way. Personally i'm very impressed
and so are all his loyalist and supporters, to have won the heart of several Americans, even superdelegates despite being black. That's impressive!!! McCain is white so we aint expecting anything less than what he got. If McCain wins, good, but if Obama wins, i tell you that'll be the most dramatic American President. Anyway it goes, my heart goes with Obama.

It's not enough to have a leader who knows what is right from what is wrong.
All leaders we've been having knows what to do, they are neither kids nor fools.
What i think we need is a leader that's got a really good conscience, cos they
all know what to do but aint doing it.

Obama wining is a good thing but here in nigeria, its a different case.
We fight what we dont see but what we do see every day, we close our mouth. Its that how we ll get there?

You are right bruv, things are very different here.
