Buhari's coup on an elected civilian govt was greeted with cheers and jubilaion on the streets in the southwest. Awolowo did not even mince a word not out of fear of being imprisoned but because out of hatred and jealousy in losing out to Shagari twice in a row. A coup over a Shagari govt, was welcomed and viewed by Awo as an act against his enemy.
Wole Soyinka even welcomed the coup announcement by singing the same anti corruption song and even went further to justify the coup on the basis that the Shagari regime was hopelessly corrupt.

Funny thing is when the Buhari regime settled down their anti corruption crusade was waged in the south with many prominent southwest political holders and buerucrats jailed in Buhari's bias crusade.

Today, the southwest has the highest bloc of Buhari apologist in the south. They foolishly have been sold the corruption lie and Buhari sainthood and are bent on repeating history.

Greed is what I perceive from their alliance .

Tinubu is about selling the future of the yorubas for an oil bloc to his name .


They,the yorubas know that tinubu can't be trusted .

Not really....

Politics is performance based. What has GEJ done in the south west that they should come out to vote for him? Do you people even listen to yourselves?

What are his policies?

Look at the infrastructure.... Mention 3 Federal roads in the South west that is in good shape and I will name 10 that are horrible...

Electricity

Fuel price....

Trade...

Employment...

Security...

Religious intolerance...

Toutish allies

All these and threads like this where the people are insulted is what leads to the people turning their backs.

A friend and I took a tour of Abeokuta to Otta and Sango... The number of GEJ posters is amazing. It is almost as though he does not exist. Same thing in Ibadan.

Can you show reasons why they should vote GEJ?

You people voted APC in thesouth west, hold the office holders responsible for your woes, besides ,Gej single handedly faced the north, the next four years is for the south. If he faced the south first,the same people will be quick to call him bigot, as he faced the north first, same people call him clueless

And what gives you the guarantee that Buhari will perform?
Go and do an independent historical review on the Buhari regime and find out first hand how despotic and incompetent it was.

Don't you get this? People don't want Buhari, they just want GEJ gone. That is the problem.

You guys are not also helping. I just gave you pointers, what has GEJ done in those areas?

Hey, we ain't talking about the governors here yet. Open a thread for that. I just gave you pointers. What has GEJ done in those areas to deserve the votes?

Lagos-Ibadan expressway is a joke
Lagos-Abeokuta is mad
Apapa-Oshodi is not worth passing
Old ife road.
Ilesha road
Ogbomosho road

I can go on

Electricity has never crossed 4,000MW

When OBJ left office, we were generating 3,545MW. All the Goodluck administration can do is blame criminals? Are you kidding?

He focused on the North right? He can go there to ask for votes Na. How can you neglect people and come back to ask them to vote for you again?

Why do you think Alimosho Local government is angry at APC?

Another good example of how jealousy drives the average southwest man's politicking can be seen in no other person than Sanusi Lamido.

Sanusi has always been from the privileged class and for him to have suddenly turn social activist was suspicious enough. But the southwest in their ever Aluta Continua stance quickly alligned with Sanusi and used his blatant lies against the current administration to wage another round of attack on Jonathan.

This is the same Sanusi that was hell bent on breaking the Southwest hegemony in te banking sector which lead to the outright closure and takeover of southwest owned banks which will later be reassigned to Sanusi's cronies.

Most of those bankers from the southwest who lost their jobs are now rooting for Sanusi during his tussle for the Emirships and some how blame Jonathan for the hardship they now face.

When last did GEJ commissioned a Federal govt project in the SW.....

Show me one....

We will vote APC ....if APC messes up...we will throw them under the bus in the next election....no time for unproductive sentiments.

Federal roads are everywhere in the country and not only in southwest. Each and every part of the country got something's done,if you want more vote him in and you will see more.

If you ever bothered to read my first post here you will see how I detailed how the southwest in their hatred for Shagari regime were quick to celebrate and welcome Buhari's coup.

Nobody is asking you to vote Goodluck, but for God sake's , Buhari of all people?!

This is looking like 1984 all over again.

If the southwest is so on convinced by their own propaganda and lies about a Goodluck presidency then why are they not offering us an alternative? Why a Buhari?

It is the simple logic of "We have given you +4 years" given your party almost 16"years and you people have failed"

The people are weary of excuses and blaming everyone else for their incompetence so the want a change. The way the change comes is not their concern.

A lot of peeps on twitter are like "If we vote Buhari and he fvcks up, 2019 is not far. We change him"

Simple

The same bloody was a lot of people in Alimosho don't have much confidence in the APC.

Same logic. They believe the Goodluck administration has failed them so they want him out

I said this weeks ago and thank God someone has echoed it

I doubt Shagari's government was so corrupt

I believe SW controlled media painted that government bad in order to destroy it

This is the same tactics they are applying against GEJ but unfortunately for them, the Igbos are helping the SS fight back on Media with so much ruthlessness that their initial madness has be halted and about to be routed

Really
At emboldened.

Let us concentrate on the historical events that saw a Buhari welcomed and celebrated by the Southwest in 1983.

Every single gimmick and rhetoric has been dusted and recycled 32 yrs later.

Matisine riots is now Boko Haram which Buhari and the southwest used in 1983 to justify the incompetency of Shagari.

Today Buhari is campaigning to end the insurgents as he did back then.

The corruption rhetoric has never been louder maybe because the Goodluck and Shagari regimes were democratic administrations and as such freedom of speech and guaranteed critism allows this rhetoric to spread unlike in a military set up were any critism is seen as provocative and anti establishment and is thus clampdown on.

They concluded in a hurry because some people whom are aware that Rome wasn't and can't be built in a day decided to capitalize on their ignorance instead of uniting with the fg and explaining to them in details or the lay mans language.

The Yorubas know that Buhari won't achieve anything but they will follow Buhari because

2) they believe that power will return to them after Buhari

MY BROTHER , HAS ELECTRICITY NOT IMPROVED IN THE WEST? WHAT OF THE RULE OF LAW? 9 ADDITIONAL UNIVERSITIES, ROAD NETWORK...........LAGOS BEBIN . FUEL SUPPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHO DO THEY WHAT TO CHANGE? HOW OLD IS NIGERIA AS A NATION AND HOW LONG HAS GEJ BEEN IN POWER?

The south west voted massively for obasanjo's 2nd tenure. Now what did he do in the SW during his first tenure?

Tinubu is not a genius but a very good student of history. Today, the APC relies on the media to circulate their diversionary propaganda of hatred. Focus on the central govt and not my stooges in govt house; that bad road is Jonathan's fault, that good federal road was built by us; Dieziani is a thief, fashola could have done more if they did not steal our $20 billion dollars, etc.

The SW voted for Jonathan in 2011. He won every state except Osun
The SW were the main people fighting for him to be sworn in when Yar'adua died. Were they not jealous at that time.
What did they get in reward?
Emotional people always shun analysis for sentiments

Not all southwesterner supports buhari, as a matter of fact, buhari will loose southwest.

I think the cancellation of Lagos Metro makes him trust GMB to do great stuff in South-West.

Or the 75% of PTDF projects that GMB took to the North during Abacha's time.
Who would not be grateful to GMB for spending hours in Lagos traffic to & from work daily?

People like Buhari believe that the South (especially SW) should be slowed down to allow the North catch up.

Amazing how people cannot link the past to the present & future.

Was it jealousy alliance when they voted for jonathan in 2011?
