UnimkeAk:


What are u trying to imply ?

Did Johnathan not give appointments from every region.

The SFG should go to the east.

Let the east 4gt about the senate.

APC can as well shove their appointments into their ass

With the rate of tribalism ; religious and ethnic bias,

Regionalism is the best thing that can happen to this country.

So tensions can go down.

The APC should be careful least the tear down this country.
Every zone must be carried along.
Like previous administrations.

pussyphilia:
Ekweremmadu should please decamp to APC!
He's one of the few good men in the PDP and enjoys great popularity in his state.

He should decamp!!! Even if he eventually fails to get the position of senate presidency, he can actually rebuild APC in the SE and lead the party from that region. Nothing wrong with him decamping because politicians have been doing that since and his own is not going to be different. After all, politics is about interest.

Tinyemeka:


My brother, that slogan "Change" was just a mantra. Short and easy to remember by gullible bumkums.

At least GEJ can go back to rest and collect his presidential pension monthly. The man is a simple man with simple needs.

He should be the happier one.

rusher14:


Cynicism and trolling are modern day cousins.

The sense in realising that it's business unusual goes beyond clichés.

Sowing seeds of discord simply to prove you know something most don't will always come back to haunt you.

Play your role in this new Nigeria.

CrazyMan:
The incoming administration should not use their victory to settle scores, rather they should use it to unite this nation.

Appointments should be made based on merit, integrity...etc, and not based on past grudges with a particular ethnic group.

Truth is Nigeria cannot move forward if we embrace a particular ethnic group and castigate another.

Buhari said it times without number that he's government is going into intensive restructuring of the nations power, academic, sport, agriculture...etc sector. And to achieve this, we have to be united and work together.

To those who said igbos betrayed the yorubas, you should know that this is democracy, every one has the right to vote whoever he wishes to vote. We joined forces with the south west in 2011 to install GEJ but he failed us. Unfortunately most south easterners preferred to give him a second chance rather than embrace change. It was their choice. The media should stop making it look as if we committed a great sin by voting GEJ.

To my fellow igbos. Well I've said this and I will say it again. Jonathan's administration was of no benefit to the south east. It only enriched a few of our leaders, but had no positive impact on the majority; its time we unite and embrace the new administration.

jpphilips:


Jonathan is a simple man indeed! in coming months, the real Jonathan will be disclosed to you.

Chimezie250:
So it's now a crime because we chose GEJ, election is all about choice, we made ours and must be respected, I m proud of my people even though we didn't win but they stand till the end, apc should focus more on how to fulfil all their electoral promises than igbo this igbo that, Nigerians expect them to bettered whatever GEJ did

mbulela:

We don't care where his appointees come from.
All we care is that it must not be business as usual.
Having said that, it makes political sense for regions that contributed to his victory to be rewarded accordingly as long as merit does not suffer. Next time, igbo politicians will stop being ruled by their pockets and simplistic calculations.

D southeast who voted for jonathan as a result of sentiments and hatred 4 d northerners nw feel dey shud b considered for a huge government post.

I'm nt in anyway tribalistic, but I think dey brought dis discomfort upon demselves

I jst hope baba will du justice to dis matter

As 4 Tinubu, only God knws d intentions of dis crook

sai Buhari

CR77:
Seen!

Happy Easter 2 Goodluck Jonathan my Hero

God bless nigeria

jaytee01:
I thought you guys voted GEJ so that he could handover to the SE.
Is that plan no longer feasible?

ArodeTsolaye:
Why are people laughing and saying nonsense?. The worst he can do is
1. Cancel all FG projects in the East.

2. Exclude Igbos from all ministerial posts as he did during his days in uniform.

3. Selectively witch-hunt and jail Igbo politicians with EFCC and protect his Hausa-Fulani brothers.

4. Make toxic economic policies against legitimate Igbo businessmen as he did while he was a former head of state.

4.Heavily Militarize the East of the Niger.

....and more

How this will make the North and the West better than the East is what i am waiting to see?

The future of Nigeria is pregnant. What it will bear we don't know.But i know born Survivalists (Igbos) will survive. Let's watch and and see.

spiralwedge:
I foresaw this situation since last year. I was angry that while progressives from all parts of the country were forming a merger of a substantial opposition to PDP, the SE was against. The SE rather preferred to be ethnic sentimental and funny enough, claimed GEJ to be one of his own... when obviously he is not.
The SE is holding Nigeria back. And that's the truth.
Back to topic, please give them IG post at best. Whatever is the case, let them bear the consequences of their action.
/lack of strategy/ unemancipation/ethnic sentimentality.

Seun360:



E go be you like snake in da monkey shadow. Igbos must face the consequences of their actions.

A guardian reader Arinze Nwosu says and i quote-

"No regrets rejecting the APC at the polls by the South East.

North West did not vote Jonathan in 2011, yet they got Speaker House of Reps, Defence minister, National security Adviser, Inspector General of Police, External affairs minister, Education minister, Chief Justice of Federation etc."

The immediate future will prove if the "equity, fairness and justice" we chorus in our anthems are just mere musical verses.

agurza:
eyya c as dis one dey console himself after using his anus to think before election. Don't worry Buhari is not like that. Face reality go and read more about Buhari.
