omonnakoda: 100% true and we would hope some, always driven by sentiments and ego, would learn valuable lessons from this yet I seriously doubt this. The bottom line, which is also the commonsensical approach most Yorubas adopted, is that all major Nigerian ethnic groups need each other as long as we legally remain constituent parts of Nigeria with full power to determine who gets what politically. Jonathan was reminded of the danger of the ethnic politics he was playing many, many times by many, many Nigerians. Unfortunately for him, he was surrounded by many ethnic jingoists from the SE and SS with scores to settle against the Yorubas, like Clarke et al, who kept telling him he did not need to worry about the Yorubas and could get away with marginalizing, ignoring and even "punishing" them. The calculation was that GEJ should instead focus on throwing the 'a.b0k1s some 'Carrots' as a political strategy to secure his 2015 return to Aso Rock. What has now emerged, as the biggest lesson pragmatic folks will heed, is that a Nigerian President must not openly show disdain for any major Nigerian ethnic group while Nigeria remains a nation that conducts elections every 4 years that all ethnic groups are allowed to vote in. The misrule of GEJ is, first and foremost, the major cause of his loss and downfall. Yet some clannish followers of GEJ added to the magnitude of his defeat with how they instigated him against the SW. Because of a primordial search for vendetta, they all acted as if the Yorubas would not be allowed to vote and thus have their say when the time is right as some of us warned would be the case when the SE and SS ethnic protagonist were at their loudest hurling insults against the Yorubas daily while GEJ watched with tacit approval. Well, the Chicken came home to roost and GEJ and his gang of thieves are all going home or perhaps to prison. 1 Like |

otr1:Thank god someone with a basic knowledge of mathematics is here. If southwest did not vote for buhari, most of those votes would have gone to Jonathan. For example, in Lagos, Jonathan would have won by more than 1 million votes like he did in 2011. The slowpoke you were responding to does not know that Jonathan could have potentially had 90 % of the south west votes as it is NOT POSSIBLE TO VOTE FOR BUHARI AND JONATHAN AT THE SAME TIME. EACH BUHARI VOTE IN THE SOUTH WEST WAS A POTENTIAL JONATHAN VOTE WHICH TRANSLATES TO APPROXIMATELY 6 MILLION VOTES! |

softwareman:Jonathan lost because of that kind of reasoning. I've given up on PDP fans. |

It is simple IN THE SW AGAINST BUHARI in 2011 he was + 2.4 million in 2015 he was - 600000 That is a swing of 3 million votes No long analysis |

omonnakoda: Without SW,North nigeria is nothing. Take for instance, and from the last election SE/SE had no say...as both SW and North defined who won. Shekena |
