To me zoning is nonsense, I'd have preferred it goes on competency and merit even if it happens to be from one tribe I'd really not care just the problem that is to be tackled is to bringing good governance to the populace.
This is just my personal opinion and may not be conformable to other people's idea.
U have 12 million voters from north who would only vote a Northerner ...u think zonning is not important I just laugh at southerners forming smart ...

If the election was between southern Nigerian fine we can end zoning but with north ? Na

North would vote a northern goat over someone like peter Obi ...u think they watch debate?

Thank God you are a northerner. I am Yoruba, go and tell your people that you are all useless and you are gonna contribute to Nigeria to break up faster.

You are everything wrong with Nigeria, no education, no good economy, you are parasites, religious intolerance, Almajiris all over, you are the source of every wrong in Nigeria.

You will use your hand to divide this country and you will turn out to be like Niger republic with the highest refugee ever known to mankind.

Useless people always wanting or be choked on power.

Tell your people that you cannot survive this last stretch of power grab coz the resultant effect will be the breakup of this nation once and for all.

When the Presidency was with the South, the North were crying and banking on Zoning Formula. But, immediately power returned to the North, they are now saying "No more Zoning or rotational Presidency.

The North must have done 8years by 2023. Hence, Presidency must return to the South. The South also have Competent and qualified people to sit on No.1 seat 8n Aso rock.

After Buhari has finished his 8years plus 2years of yar'adua, a fulani man will still be nursing ambission to contest and rule Nigeria again?I am not in complete support of zoning but at the same time we should also know that when a king is born in a community another king Is also born in another, my yuroba brothers should wake up and understand that is longer time to think selfishly is time to think collectively that is the only time southerners can have a say in Nigeria.

I support you brother.

It’s time to put the north where they belong. They should be subservient to the south coz we have been bankrolling them since 1914. We give them every resources they need and yet they think themselves as some sort of invincible being.

Thank God the Yorubas are getting woke, they will hear it soon.

Zoning is unconstitutional. Let whoever that want to contest come out and test his/her popularity. In the past election I have seen different tribes contesting despite the zoning adoption by APC and PDP. If the youth truly controls the block votes, let's organize a convention and decided who to put in power. I am ever ready to serve in any capacity for the struggle of youth emancipation.

You better believe it!

South must get sense by force..

Only in your dream. Igbo's kind of have a hate and love relationship with the Hausa-fulani due to their seated inferiority complex but we Yoruba see them as an equal partner in the institution called Nigeria. No one is born to rule, all men are born equal but some men might have sold their right to aim for the top job due to the hate and cowardice.

Yorubas will always aim for the top job and when we can't get it under any fair arrangement we will opt out of the union.

Zoning is an integral part of every multi-ethnic country operation a central system of government. We will only do without zoning if we can do away with federal character, revenue sharing and when we have true resources control.

The north wants to eat their cake and have it, they hardly contribute anything to the revenue they partake in sharing yet no one is complaining, they get top jobs in the civil service commission due to federal character, no one raised an eyebrow but when they perceive that they have some advantage due to massive illiterate population that they can easily farm vote from, they are now shouting no zoning

Because it's the turn of the Ibos, Hausa politicians have all agreed to ditch the zoning principle. It was a PDP thing anyway, it's not written anywhere in the constitution, but we all know it was the only thing that kept Nigeria together after the murder of MKO Abiola.

I blame the south east though, they haven't built enough bridges. The only Igbo politician who has consistently built bridges and maintained communication with other power-blocs has been Orji Uzor Kalu, and even he has favoured the north alone and he lacks a robust political structure across Igbo land itself, his homebase.

2023 will be a contest between the south west and the north, en-bloc. Count the Ibos out because Nnamdi Kanu is a pussy. Considering the deep south, Goodluck Jonathan has shown plainly that he is not a politician with the way he crept away into obscurity, post-2015. Wike is bold and he has consistently shown promise, but he needs a heavier & wider 'military' backbone to be able to spit in the eye of the power of incumbency. Jonathan is well positioned to provide that backbone because he still has a lot of favours due in from the creeks, from when he reigned in Abuja.

Himself and Wike could synergise to blanket the Delta with their loyalists and, at the minimum, wrest a much better deal for the core south now that the tribal beast we know as Federal Nigeria is severely weakened from its engagement with Islamic State. But the question is, does GEJ have the courage?
All this plenty rubbish is to what? Malign SE so that SS will rule.you are pathetic,we in SE don't need your presidency we want out of this rubbish contraption,so you SS should go and test the waters with SW and North let's see how strong you guys are.Beans

I don't believe in any stupid unity of this nation, no single Yoruba man should believe the unity of Nigeria, the north needs Nigeria to continue to exist and project power, we the people of southwest don't need Nigeria, it is the Nigeria state that needs us.

The Hausa-Fulani should never be in any position to dictates to rest of us because they hardly bring anything to the table.

The question is, is zoning constitutional? If yes why did other tribes contested last election? I will definitely not support any candidate from the north by 2023 but I can't discourage them from contesting cos it's their constitutional right. Power is not given it must be taken! Don't just sit at your comfort zone and expect other tribes to just support you for the same ambition they are also interested in. It doesn't work that way bro! quote author=myobjective post=82705318]

Did any of the major party present any southern candidates? That us the question you need to ask yourself first.

Did any major southern heavyweight politicians talk about jettisoning zoning in the last election? But when you have people like el rufai a member of the ruling party scheming and coming out publicly to say there shouldn't be zoning, then you should know the handwriting on the wall.

As much as I hate to say it, the South is a slave to the north. Hate it or love it, they got you guys exactly where they've always wanted: divided south. It's very correct to say they own the country: they call the shots as they please. Nigeria is just so F'd up! If we decide to jettison zoning, these guys up north still got the numbers to turn things in their favor; and if we choose to go with zoning, the SW & SE will still continue exchanging political punches while the north, yet again, clinches power. The big Question is: what is that one thing that can unite the south? Once we understand that question, and are able to answer it, we will crush the north with all her shenanigans. Alas, SWners are just waking up to the game the north is playing; But, it's better late than never!

Southwest is not just waking up, southwesterners have always been in opposition to the Hausa -Fulani, our founding fathers know that Nigeria will never work if we don't have seni independent region for every ethnic nationality.

Coming back to your question, nothing can unite southern Nigeria because, to begin with, there is nothing like southern Nigeria. We have the Yorubas in the southwest, the Igbos in south-east and south-south and some ethnic minority in the nigerdeltas, these groups are as different as day and night.

The question is why should we united when we can all go our separate ways or live in our different semi-independent nation under one united Nigeria

If you know much this Nigeria have kept the Yoruba nation down, you will know it’s better we stand alone than to remain in this union coz it’s just plain rubbish.

Is it about the oil? What exactly is Nigeria giving us? Pre-1967, the western region was the strongest and richest region, we are the most developed with sound education and courageous leaders.

Pre-1914, we are already established, the missionaries first entered through the west and we already had Lagos port established since 1913.

Since we’ve been in this union, things have been going worse and the Yoruba nation is now at par with those that dare not measure to us in terms of intelligence and development.

We have Ondo with the crude oil (5th or 6th oil producing state), arable lands.

We have Lagos with the economy and seaport.

We have Ogun with the industries and some Crude oil.

We have Oyo with the landmass where agriculture can flourish.

We have Ekiti with the professors and arable land for agriculture coupled with Osun state with its mineral resources.

Check the IGR generated in this country, the bulk of the non-oil revenue and VAT is from the SW.

Tell me why do we need Nigeria. Is it’s because our politicians are trying to eat the oil money to their advantage? Are we not going backward instead of advancing? Is it not time to call for the breakup of this nation for an independent entity now?
