christopher123:It is good idea. But that is only if you people are ever united to pursue that front. Let me educate you little about the North perchance you may learn some lesson. Aliyu Babangida of Niger state is from Sokoto state by origin. Shekarau the former Governor of Kano state is also from Sokoto. In the North, there is nothing like state of Origin so far you are from the North. They are accomodating to others; that is why they have the highest number of 'imigrants' from other parts of the country- Ask why the Igbos in the North would rather die there than leave for his home land. You may want to argue that but i dont care. Do you have any of such qualities in your tribe?Permit me to take my leave as i am in celebration mood right now. Thanks. |

eyeview: Please keep that sentiment aside. Yorubas are the most de-tribalized set of people who vote based on competence and not they way you are painting them. If that is not the case, do you think Jonathan will have all the votes he had from the SW?. Yoruba are not bigots. We are not blinded by tribalism. All your rant should be directed to the poeple from your southern part of the country. In 2011, when Buhari contested, Pastor Tunde Bakare was his running mate, did Buhari win because of Tunde Bakare despite him being a Yoruba man?. Yorubas votd enmass for Jonathan. We did not see Jonathan as a non-Yoruba man. We saw him as the person that was competent for the job. And in 2015, the same Jonathan we thought was competent was discovered not to be up to the task and he was booted out. Your Jonathan got millions of vote from the SW and millions from the North as well. Please tell me how many vote did Buhari get from your SE/SS. Not up to 500K. Now tell me who voted based on tribalism?. You are just a kettle painting pot black. It's high time you do away with your tribalism and embrace the wind of change for the betterment of the country. 1 Like |

It's called politics, and we're gradually coming of age in it. My deepest respect and love go to the SE people for their show of love during this elections; of course not forgetting the Akwa Ibomites and the Rivers people. |

FreeGlobe:The main reason GEJ lost isn't because of the north because the north you talk about also voted Buhari in 2011 but he lost. GEJ lost because both the middle belt and the south west that supported him massively in 2011 got sick and tired and withdrew their support and this was because of 2 things: 1. GEJ's unparalleled incompetence which was obvious to all and sundry (both foreigners and Nigerians alike) 2. The fact that even though his incompetence was so glaring, the people of the SE and SS could not for a second see any single flaw in him but instead, chose to insult the sensibilities of others for daring to complain. If anyone wants to talk of tribalism, then I must say the SE and SS took tribalism to a ridiculous and senselessly provoking level in the past 4 years all because of a support for Jonathan. Every tribe has a bit of tribalism in them but it becomes really obscene when you come out in full public glare and scream about your support of a particular person SOLELY because the person is of your tribe. Only the northerners have been known to exhibit this indiscretion in their own tribalism but they can be forgiven because 95% of their population are stark illiterates. I cant say the same of the southerners though because we are quite educated and enlightened. I remember vividly the case of the aviation minister who was unfortunate to be caught red handed in some fraud. Up till now, many Igbos do not think there is anything wrong in what she did and they go further to even insult the sensibilities of everyone else by publicly declaring that she should be freed SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE IS IGBO. For the first time in my life, I felt really embarrassed being from the SE during the Stella Oduah saga. For once, people need to look inwards and stop blaming others for every single misfortune. This particular attitude of blaming others for every single misfortune (even those caused by an act of God) also played a pivotal role in losing GEJ the support of the SW and MB who voted him in 2011. |

when people say igbo lose election you ask how, Igbo never lose, the losers are south south, they lost credibility, they lost their mind and they will lose their oil well and environment. Since 1070 igbo never ruled but it has not stop igbo from been the most educated tribe, it has not stooped igbo land from having the highest income distribution, it has not stopped igbo land from having industries ranging from ICT and car manufacturing, it has not stoped igbo from having the biggest online trading firms like www.slot.com, www.wakanow.com, www.PTVphones.com and biggest onlie blogs making million employing igbos such as linda ikeji, bella naija..it has not stoped igbo from progessing one thing the lack of president did or is doing for igbo is that it made them understand that they do not have any body to depend but on their-selves and brain with God been on their side... look at how the Yoruba and Hausa are bragging, that it what presidency does to them, it gives them wrong sense of fulfilment and achievement while their problem such as high level of touting, pverty, omo nili mentality, almajirism and polio and illiteracy looms around since north have presidency have they produced likes of chimamanda, chinua, elechi amadi and other global known literary giants ..the answer is big No, yoruba managed only Wole soyinka thats all. You can see what dependence on politics and governance can do to some region. The same way dependence on oil never impacted on Niger delta, the best thing depend on yourself KEEP SAYING WE ARE APC...LET ME KNOW IF APC Will buy you that car that you will drive, buy you that great perfume or put food on your tables....

FreeGlobe:Ppl are free to chose who they support... And why should you term that "tribalism"?... So wen and if Jonathan wins,it is competence an patriotism but if buhari wins,its tribalism? Let me educate you ...in Nigeria power is between north an south.buhari ,as a northerner can either go with south easterner ,or south westerner.. Having tried the persons of Chuba Okadigbo an Senator Ben Obi previously as easterners ,he decided to try pastor Tuned Bakare an yomi Osibanjo ...as westerners an finally has succeeded... So how do you blame him? It only takes a child to say that the north an East are political foes...far from it.,the first republic was the marriage of north an south east in form of Tarawa belewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe,the second republic was also between She hu shagari and Alex Ekwueme...but some ppl were too myopic to belif in a propaganda that buhari,a northerner can not work with the IBO...an the few wise amongst us like Rochas Okorocha and Chris Ngige were seen as enemies. We were busy supporting a dead horse in person of Jonathan whose only project in the East was commissioning of architectural master plan of second Niger bridge so blame our zombie leaders. |

I know it will take a while before d igbos swallow d bitter pill down their throat,honestly I empathize with you guys.But u guys shouldn't forget so quickly how your candidate gathered a whooping 22million votes,was d SE and SS votes that amounts to that? No! The SW was not blinded by tribe when they abandoned their son(Tunde Bakare) and voted for a SS and northerner as president and vp respectively but its convenient to accuse us of being tribalistic now abi...shebi Jonathan has turned d SE to paradise that is why u guys are crying more than d bereaved,igbos better situp and go back to d drawing table and charter a new and reasonable path politically or else...cos no region can lead d nation without d help of d other regions.WAKE UP! @FreeGlobe |

christopher123:Oh my goodness! Richness and development is a relative terminology. A man who drives that truck on the street of the North is contented with what God has provided for him far more than even a billionair from the East. I am not asking any government to come and give me a car. What i ask of government is freedom,security and enabling environment for hard work to thrive. It is your little knowledge of the impact of government policies on any kind of business that makes you think that you are not perturbed about the presidency. You may have to go and ask all the moribund companies simply due to bad govt policies on electric power supply . Socialization is when you integrate your self with the reality of your environment. But i am sorry, you have not yet embrace this simple definition. |

Let's be truthful here; The North voted Buhari not because of his manifesto or agenda but because he is their own. Call an average Northerner and ask him to name any agenda of Buhari that appeals to him,he would be looking at you like a m.oron. So,Buhari and Osibanjo emerging as the president and vice president of this country respectively, wasn't because their competency or accountability but because of the tribalistic and fanatical altitude of the North and West. #Bittertruth. 2 Likes |
