Federal Government must treat the issue of the South West with utmost caution. It is not a time to show bravado or strength. A wrong move may end Nigeria. This Government is not popular enough to fight NOW. SDM

Sammy07:
Very true.

Else history will repeat itself

Because it seems Nigerians don't usually learn from history

lamentor78:
I think government need to thread with caution, they need more of dialogue now, if they remove the few soldier in bornu to south west , Boko Haram will penetrate more and Bandits in Zamfara will increase

Grayoso:
If majority in the SW lose hope in Nigeria then nothing or no one will keep Yorubas in Nigeria. Even now I think the damage has been done and new and permanent fault lines have been opened in the relationship between the SW and the North.

Those who think using federal might to bully everyone will always keep them in charge should think and act carefully in relation to the SW.

Not a fan of Melaye but he is right on the money here. This is not 1997.

OfficialAwol:
No one treats a slave with caution!

Southwest was sold to the Fulani by a frog-eyed greedy idiot for a plate of porridge he would never have.

adekolaelect:
shut up slowpoke who asked you what you are saying ? Now that things has happened had Tinubu paid back the money he collected from north back to them ? If your brain remain in your head how possible for Tinubu to sell all south westerners if not we had interest in who we voted for then .can you tell us who is selling S S and S E that are decamping to APC party everyday now?

SuperBold:

The Igbos have been waiting for this moment let them enjoy it while it last because Nigeria go enter one trouser soon. The only thing holding Nigeria together is being threatened.

Nightalan:
Bantering with those nuisances from the East is not a priority now, they are not important enough to dictate the affairs of the country and should be ignored. [b]The focus is to drive the murderous Fulani elements from our forests. [/b]We will come back to una matter later or give you the same treatment.

valenu:
They don't teach history in school

vanbonattel:


They have the remote control to your tribe's mumu button. They can flog you all they want, and give any man from SW the presidential ticket, and you all will roll over to be flogged some more.

Grayoso:


That's why I said this is not 1997. Yoruba will not accept an OBJ-type from the North. We know this is their game with Fayemi who they think is a weak and controllable option to appease the SW and still keep them in general control.

Won't work. We want an independent-minded Yoruba like Osinbajo or BAT otherwise the born-to-rule North can keep the Presidency and bear the consequences of their need to always control the centre directly or by proxy.

The SW supported the independent-minded choice of the North in Buhari so the North should do same and stop plotting against Tinubu who has unanimous backing of SW political elites and power brokers.

If Tinubu won't run then support automatically shifts to Osinbajo or Fashola. No Fayemi-type. Not going to fly because we know the North wants a stooge Southerner, like GEJ or Fayemi, they believe won't rock the boat to their detriment and to the success of the South.

Too late because many now accept that the boat must be rocked or the South will continue to drift and wallow in under-development and stagnation with the North when we are capable of much more in a restructured Nigeria.
