Bros, be honest. Is there any need for that his post. This is nairaland and anyone can contribute to any thread. Why is contribution from others labelled derailing of thread, too bad.

he did not even read the write up b4 he commented o

atlwireles:


It's well, things happened for a greater purpose. The next chapter has started already, without this election, I doubt if it were possible.

Ritchiee:



you are welcome but as much as I love Jonathan, he played the tribal politics and the North capitalised on that..as I said...the big question... how does the South come together politically?a million pound question...

frodobee:


Mr Mynd you are arguing for and against. You said Nigeria cannot be regionalized- a good point and he countered it, and then you came up with this point qouted. Can't you see in the quoted that there is bias for regionalism in your post? Also, according to history books Nigeria witnessed massive growth during the era of regional govt.are you going to disprove or shed more light on that?

WaffenSS:


Nigeria is geopolitically divided as it fits the narrative of the moment. Sometimes there's just north vs south, sometimes its north, south, and east, and so on.

The military dictators of whom you gripe about have only 3 from the socalled core north. The rest were from the north central (or middle belt, when convenient).

Our political history has always laid the failures of political leadership on the heads of the military rulers, so when democracy came about in 1999 we thought that finally we've got the chance to make things right.

Its 2015 now, and we've been running a democracy for16 years. In those 16 years, the south has ruled for 14years.

14 years is more than enough time to put so many things right.

So the failure of this democracy, these wasted 14 years, these endless series of social, economic, and political problems are rooted in southern misrule.

The perennial whipping boy, the "aboki", should not be held responsible for your perceived woes.

Its now up to you to convince us how GEJ was a blessing to the south (or ss/se, as is the trend now) beyond the morsels of federal appointments you find so insulting.

Well...Did Rochas really loot his state dry or these are just some accusations borne out of sentiments? I would want citizens at this moment hold on to the anti-corruption crusade of GMB and ask for an all encompassing probe of everyone who have been in government recently. If Rochas or anyone is found guilty they should be punished accordingly and our monies retrieved. It is something that can be done, it just needs the voice of everyone and not all this ethnic jingo going on here and there. Question is if Goodluck won this elections will we still be asking for all these? It all looks like subtle escape and amnesty for all those who just looted the country dry.

@Whynotthetruth, this is a beautiful, thought-provoking masterpiece you got up there. Ab initio, there was a Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria. The Colonialists saw the coming disintegration from Northern Nigeria especially the likely rebellion from Northern minority and as well saw the strong cohesion from Southern Nigeria and something needed to be done. Hence, the story of how Nigeria became an artificial creation of the British by perpetualy creating the Northern Hegemony over us all.

AhmedMustapha:

Same way nobody will ever be President without permission from the South. It's a two way thing so stop playing the victim card.

IsraeliAirPilot:


Dont mind the hypocrite. He is a fool. The same person that was telling SW how they will vote for Jonathan

werey

Whynotthetruth:


Maybe true...but states like Anambra has been in opposition since 2006...

Whynotthetruth:



I wish this was true but not at all...they only need the little spread of 25% in less than 5states from all southern states...It's really pathetic and painful to see oneself playing second fiddle in one's country...

Whynotthetruth:



Imo state notwithstanding it's an oil producing state has been banned by CBN from further borrowing because they aren't credit worthy again.... Compare them to their neighbors Anambra that has more development projects with no single debt at all and yet not an oil producing state....Nobody will hold him accountable because he's APC hence ordained saint and his atrocities swept under carpet...

ENDTIMES:
Your write up would have been wonderful and timely if you published it 3 or 4 years ago to open up Jonathan's eyes and that of the so called south southerners "chopping money with him".

They say that charity begins at home but Jonathan began his own in the North.

With all the effort made by Amaechi's administration Port Harcourt still remain a slum because the state was really in the dark ages under Odili who focused more on sharing money to a few instead of developing the state.

I don't blame anybody for the woes of the east/south because even in a football match if you are awarded a penalty and you decide to shoot into your own goal, the referee will record it in favour of the opponents.

The last five years would have been a great opportunity to redress a lot of wrongs down south but Jonathan and his team of coconut heads including Orubebe (that has disgraced his family for eternity) decided to throw it to the dogs.

What did Orubebe achieve as a Minister of Niger Delta? Go and see the sham called east/west road without bridges in perennial problematic junctions like Rumuokoro and Tank junctions in Port Harcourt.

Only for Orubebe to come on international television and add insult to the injury we carried for 5 years. Jonathan's administration was a complete nonsense for the ss and se and nobody caused it for them. They (together with PEJ that lacked complete public decorum and seemed uncontrollable) brought it upon themselves.

I earnestly enjoin all Nigerians to pray for Buhari's administration to better the nation even if his charity begins from the north.

Whynotthetruth:


Thanks bro...Let it echo to the heavens that we are no more at peace here...that its either restructuring of this country is undertaken or it becomes to your tents O Isreal !!!

Of course doing a man's thing in your life without romance is an absolute failure.

Real men keep their women beside them and still win wars.

Whynotthetruth:


Truth be told, confab didn't arrive at that conclusion but they did quasi-restructuring of the country...which most representatives of the north were against...Remember, the mandate to them including those in PDP was to protect the interest of the North not Nigeria...Coincidentally, the confab report was pro-nigeria but anti-north...So what again do you expect them to do if not to kill the report...how do you kill the report easily?...Get Jonathan out of the way...With this they restrategized and keyed into Jagaban's thirst for national influence....

nigerdeltaa:
Nobody will take you serious except you take up ARMS

after1:


He was not complaining then, the SW didnt attack him for his analysis of how they will vote. But the hypocrite and chamleon now wants a discussion of only SS/SE on nairaland, he can go do that in his forum. I hate hypocrites and double mouth people. You cant see me attack the Op or one dearpreye guy, cos he is not an hypocrite even when he is attacking and calling the SW slaves recently, he is still better than double faced people.

Truckpusher:
Of course all options are on the table but you can only take up arms with solid arrangement else they will pull out the rug under your feet and you're so fuccking down for many years.

We've got to plan well , a watertight plan before anything unless we are deciding to go the matrys way which also commands respect as long as you're willing to go to war with everything at stake and ready to lose it all or win some but at what price?
I rep diplomacy and politics.
Don't fight at home alone or when your kinsmen and passerby aren't anywhere close to you , just in case the tides changes against you.
