southern military generals shud better get ready to topple dis vegetable govt b4 their northern counterparts overtake them

abiambo:
2 things caught my attention...
1) the gains of democracy since 1999... this is coming from an apc chieftain... it's the first time in 3 yrs that there's been any acknowledgment of gains in the 16 yrs of pdp rule
2) the summary of this piece is simply "let osinbajo take over constitutionally " ... the whole gist was presidency is corrupt and behind the stress the president is facing , Baba is disappointed with them et al, this isn't 1993 when Hausa deposed a Yoruba to take power and if it does happen it'll turn chaotic

Rilwayne001:

Tell bubu to resign. He doesn't need to die in a post that doesn't belong to his forefathers

Rilwayne001:


Yes. So when did they start causing mayhem? Who armed them? Jonathan O yes, to diminish the northern population. Smh

myobjective:


Who made you spokesman for the North?

What have you done for the North in any capacity to give you the privilege to be Northern Nigeria ambassador?

The North is a complex region with more than 100 major ethnic groups of which Yoruba is one ( aka Kwara and southern Kogi), only North-west (aka Hausa Fulanis) can't decide who becomes president of the federal republic of Nigeria

Mandeyy:
I feel like this is a way God is punishing d North 4 their years of misrule and wickedness to d South as a whole. Don't be surprised dat ur calculation may still work against them, cos God may be angry with them. Anybody they put there may certainly fall sick. They shld leave Southerners to rule 4 now, since God may have rejected them like Saul. It might not be all about stress of his office or age, but it cld be God's anger against d North. Afterall, is Mugabe not above 90 and still ruling, but God's anger may likely catch up with him (Mugabe) soonest if he doesn't resign.

FriendNG:


Your calculation is wrong. The north allow OBJ to rule for 8 years. GEJ for 6 years. Do not be among the ungrateful.

Mandeyy:


My bro, it's even the North that is ungrateful. Where are the revenues coming from? Do u want to tell me that u Northerners would have taken it easy with the Southerners if the oil is from d North?

ALTERNATEID:
Baba Akande is very funny. The proper thing to do for an elder statesman of his caliber is to ask the president to resign instead of calling for prayers for him. The president is obviously no longer fit to continue in office and calling for prayers instead of resignation is just putting it lightly.

aolawale025:
Instead of granting interviews, why didn't Akande just visit aso rock. Like he went to London the last time

GOOD ACTOR!the old man said he dint see buhari in his grandsons wedding he WEPT..LAYA!
As if you ad ur partner tinubu dint know right from the onset that sumtin like this will happen..Upon all the warning other region gave u guys u refused to listen thinking tinubu or ur popet osinbanjo will take over if he dies.
Yes this is not 93 ad we are in an Era of constitunalism ad order..So u want osibanjo to take over based on our constitutional arrangement baa?Sorry sir,I support the northerners in this case,if there's anarchy let it consume u guys first.
Am advising ibos to do there calculation well this time around by remaining silent make all this cows nogo use una settle fight..

We live together before the oil boom. So what's your point. The oil was dig by the wealth of Nigeria (non oil but agriculture).

The oil is not for Niger Delta. It is the commodity of the Nigerian state itself. Just like Shiroro and Kayanji dam (Hydroelectric power) is for all Nigerian. Which is from the north.

FriendNG:


It is not all about Nairaland. Why not advice Sunusi to contest and receive the shock of your life. Northeast is Yoruba igbo i guess . Even in the northcentral he will lose. Niger, Nassarawa and jos will be with north west decision while half of Kwara, kogi amd benue might vote for him.


So Kwara is north. Rilwayne001

myobjective:


We live together practicing regionalism where each region uses money gotten from their region to run their government while the central government was in charge of mining. The oil wealth belongs to the Niger delta and the exploration was done by multinational companies, The Nigeria state ( mostly illiterate Northern junta ) don't have the foresight to develop anything, they only give the right to foreign companies and their friends to explore this oil.

FriendNG:


The north was civilised and more literate than the south get your fact. Literary doesn't mean how to speak English. The north have it own Ajami education even before the white man.

It is the knowledge of the north, that made them think let's invites the white to explore this oil with the collective wealth of all region not Nigeria Delta.


Kanji dam is an Hyfroelect project that was built over a river that is a natural boundary between southwest and North, it was built by the Nigeria state and generate a paltry 300 megawatt, compare that to numerous thermal plant in Lagos alone.


Shut up. Kayanji dam has nothing to do with southwest. It is between northern Nigeria and republic of Niger. The dam is generating 760 megawatts contrary to your lies up there. It supplies electricity to all major cities yet known of the northerner has ever raise an eyebrow. You're here clamming oil.

smartty68:
Lol! Nigerians ain't in disarray, they're just wishing him well...

But he feels power is something taken by force or a birth right that must be inherited...

What he needs now is to resign and rest...

Because Naija is like a nagging woman(LOL) - if you're not strong enough you can't rule it

Bubu is over 80years old

Humility017:


let him start buhari tenure first
you will begin to see the northerners becoming uneasy
engaging in series of negotiations with him just like the time of GEJ
you know... what? he will do Nigerians lot of good should he choose not to contest because his reign will be filled with blood of innocent souls...
another GeJ scenario may likely play out...

Chikelue2000:
dear Bisi whatever, y can't u n co tell Buhari to step aside

maclatunji:



And then start wailing when the issues get resolved, you cannot be wishing others ill and expect to progress.

myobjective:


Nigeria need to be restructured, the amount of uncertainty we get the moment a serving head of state is having health issues or incapable of performing his duties us alarming. A number of uncertainties that also surrounds transition from one government to another are also very high. A true federalism and decentralization of power from the hand of a strong central government to the states or region will help to curb these power mongers and help to developed the nation

Mophasa:
The ineffectual vegetable should tow the path of honour by doing the needful and save Nigeria from further confusion
