Take for instance the last election that imposed Ya'adua as our president did the south took to arms and start killing northern in d south or destroy mosques even wen Ya'adua himself acknowledges that d election which brought him to office were fraudulent

Now the international observers with their reactions have scored this election more than 85% free and fare but still our neighbors in d north can not accept it cos the winner is a Christian from the south.

@EzeCanada: Seems u know very little about the demographics of northern nigeria. Plateau's population is about 70-80% indigenous christians, yes there are many ibos in plateau, but they are of course not up to 5%, Kaduna's population is also abt 45 - 50% indigenous christians, the same goes for Adamawa, Nassarawa and many other states. Even Bauchi state that is considered a core northern state has up to 20% indigenous christians. As such the Ibos played their part, but kudos has to be given to the often ignored but stratetigically placed indigenous christian population in the north!
@jchuckc: I have my facts. Do you have any?

Have you seen this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl5JSE1YrCs are proud of the manner (from the video) your president was elected?
I don't mind having gej nor anybody as d president as long as that individual was fairly elected by the people as opposed to the fraudulent method as seen in the video.

Congratulations to Goodluck Jonathan's victory in the elections. . .

OMgosh! Dude, first of all that video is about senatorial election, not presidential (and how genuine is the video?!)  Second of all, almost every Nigerian I know and the people they know, (I’m Ibo BTW) pretty much only talked about and voted for GEJ (It’s not even about PDP)and even international observers, who are good at concentrating on and bringing out negativity in Nigeria agree/saw that the election was free and fair, so save your breath cause there is no way you could ever convince people otherwise!
If anything, seeing  from this evidence http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2011/04/17/purefoy.nigeria.election.split.cnn?iref=allsearch  there was underage voting in the North!

This is a very narrow thinking. I know the video was on the senatorial election. But what makes you think the same thing didn't happen in the presidential election. But the video didn't confirm if PDP was the evil one. Neither is their anything that confirms the under-age voting in the north were for cpc. The essence is the show that the election was marred with fraud whether it is multiple thumb-printing of ballot papers or the under-aged voting.

You are quick to say the election was free and fair because our brother is the beneficiary of this fraud (I'm a southerner -yourba but I'll say the truth for the sake of posterity) and even feel proud that the int'l observers confirms it yet you say there were under aged voters in the north confirming only one part of the fraud (which could have been for CPC or PDP after-all PDP got the required 25% in the north where they were not expected to. Nobody knows whether this is not how they got it.). Doesn't that sound like you are talking from two sides of the mouth? I don't intend to convince anybody because around the world have been known to dance to popular tunes.

Our President has won himself another 4 years in office and inasmuch as I am unhappy about this I want to appeal to our brothers in the North to put an end to the senseless killings and destruction of private properties going on there.

Jonathan has not won fairly in my opinion. The figures from the south south, south east are so ridiculous! Some of these states had Jonathan getting over 90% of votes cast! I am highly disappointed at reasons why some pple voted Jonathan. Most of the voters I spoke to voted based on ethnic lines. I remember my uncle telling me that I should vote for Jonathan because if he doesnt get the presidency than it will take us another 25 years to get there!

Personally I have nothing against Jonathan as a person, I just think he
Getting 4 years is a very big mistake as he is not only clueless on what to do to make Nigeria work but he lacks the political will to make the necessary changes we need to see. I hope I am wrong though.

I can very well predict our next minister of Health in the person of Iyabo Obasanjo. Maybe Alams and Ibori will also be in the list too. Its also possible for him to bring in Thieves like Tafa Balogun to head the Police ministry. Time will tell

Olumogun:
I would have been surprised if JONATHAN did not win.
but the Saturday election did not represent the strength of the parties.
it is shocking that Buhari got as much as 12 million plus,
that man is worth praising.
