Svoboda: People like you keep Nigeria down. The Economist wrote: "The country ought to be rich: it has huge reserves of oil, gas and other minerals, plenty of fertile land and a young population of go-getters. Yet Nigerians are poorer today than they were ten years ago and 40% of them survive on less than $1.90 a day. Nigeria is poor because of rotten politics and bad governance." You refused to embrace the most qualified presidential candidate of today because of your ethno-religious bias. 2 Likes |

"The President of Nigeria is elected using a modified two round system, to be elected in the first round, a candidate must receive a majority of the vote and over 25% of the vote in at least 24 of the 36 states. If no candidate passes this threshold, a second round is held." Based on the above and popular votes, it's a race between Tinubu and Atiku. |

When you see foreign media start reporting about a particular candidate just know that the west have decided who will rule Nigeria. Recall that Nigeria is still a British private organization (Royal Niger Company) and independence came with a condition (all commomwealth nations are indebted to Britain). One of the criteria for independence is rotation of power among the geopolitical zones (McPherson called it Unity in diversity). The west never let go of their colonies and they feed off these colonies while they milk the colonies dry they are also weary of total collapse because if that happens it gives Russia and China opportunity to come in and have influence over these colonies. Google past presidents you will see that they all visited 10, Downing street from Obasanjo to Yaradua to Gej to Buhari and that is where who leads the country next is decided. For Obi, the sentiment of the west For peace to return is for power to move to South East As enshrined in the McPherson constitution set up by the British for Nigeria. The west have shown their support for ipob, kept mute on Nnamdi Kanu proscription and they know the what they are doing. Obi became bolder after his visit to 10 downing street, so far he has been the only candidate to have been invited there (check history, the candidate invited to that office always wins and gets maximum media coverage from foreign media). Obi will win, the west will support him because a collapse Nigeria means trouble for them, they cannot cater for 200milllion refugees and neither can they allow Russia or China to come in and influence because that's what they do in conflict areas. WHY OBI AND NOT TINUBU OR ATIKU? They picked Obi for two specific reasons 1. Atiku and Tinubu are on their black books. Tinubu had a drug case with US while Atiku was on their corruption book. Even though both parties lobbied for plea bargains to cover up the cases so they can have their freedom and visa restrictions removed, the west know that if these two wins, relations won't be swift hence will push the country towards closer ties with Russia and China. 2. Secondly condition for independence was for power to be rotated. During Biafra war when it was military dictatorship Britain and America had no reason to be involved in the war until Soviet Union stepped in and supplied Gowon with the needed military hardware, out of fear the west joined the war to please the federal government and retain their influence. When civilian rule was restored, power was agreed to be rotated. 1999 other regions stepped down for south west. The two major party fielded candidates from southwest PDP Obasanjo APP Olu Falae South west rule for uninterrupted 8yrs. In 2007 it was turn for North PDP Yaradua ANPP Buhari Other regions stepped aside Unfortunately after 2yrs Yaradua died, the north wanted to replace him with their man to complete their 8yrs but that would have been against the constitution and would have angered the Democratic nations of the west so they allowed Jonathan to complete the term. When it came to 2011 the north wanted power back to complete their tenure but since power was already in South South it was ideal for Jonathan to run another term to make it 6yrs for south south but for the condition of just one term. In all these, south east was supposed to have taken their turn in 2015 but Yaradua death scattered the formula. When Jonathan completed 6yrs he wanted to go for another term to make it 10yrs for south south and that angered the west. They used their might to kick him out (not because of homosexual law) 2015 was supposed to be turn of south east but since the north were yet to complete their term, south east had to wait for north to go on. Buhari has completed their term and next is for south East. The western powers know this and they are backing Obi for it. After south East, power is shifting to either north central Or north east before it gets to South West again |
