One wonders, what is the consideration for the support Goodluck Jonathan enjoyed from the southeasterners, mainly Igbos in his first term and his reelection for the second time.

Gooduck is from south, at the conclusion of his tenure, the power will shift back to North, this will be for another 8 years. The power will then come back to the south, but at this period, South East may not be able to get the support of the co- southerners to emerge presidential candidate. The opposition will even start from within the Igbo themselves. This will pave way for a south westerner to emerge with likely support from the north.

on the other hand, if Buhari wins , the story is the same. it will have been a little easier if igbos support the candidacy of buhari, and wins, tendencies are there that the north may throw their weight behind Igbo candidate. But as it is now, the fate of the igbos are is hanging on the balance.

The 2015 elections is not about Ibos or any one tribe for that matter. Please get serious about your country, Africa and mankind for that matter and get out of the stupidity business.

Idleness

Keep dreaming, I said so because, in all your calculations you didn't include the will of God. or did you think GEJ( a minority) would have been a president on his own accord?. Let's focus 2015 for Subsequent elections will be decided majorly by God

Elections is not a tribal issue, so if you don't have a better business then go and register for jamb and try and attend school so u can be able to help yourself in future
