Still A Southern Presidency? by Vboot1: 5:21pm On Sep 16, 2023
Before the 2023 election there was so much fanfare about the Southern unity and demand for power to move to the South. Along that was a demand for collection of VAT by state governments, championed by southern governors to further the course of the so-called southern unity.

Through dedication,hardwork and anti-party activities by some southern governors power shifted to the south. Just like the VAT one region is reaping the benefit only. We've seen lopsided appointments never witness before not even by Buhari, where one tribe is exercising control over the economy and all revenue generating agency of the government and almost half of lagos have been emptied into Abuja, this is not healthy for our democracy.

Even Buhari that favored the North(NW NE NC), also favored the SW and in return, Southwest people heavily defended brazen nepotism because they were benefited from it. It's somehow surprising to see same Southwest justifying the present Tinubu nepotism with Buhari's government, the Buhari's nepotism you heavily defended and supported? One region is taking what 6 regions should take, at least Buhari shared his among 4 regions excluding the SE snd SS.

Prior the presidential election Sanwo Olu was all over frolicking with other Southern Governors, immediately the presidential election was won things changed, a propagandist, tribal and divisive electoral winning strategy was implemented where other tribes were targeted, lynched and disenfranchised from exercising their constitutional right to vote in a state where they live and pay tax. So much for Southern Unity.

The same people that preached southern unity are those that connived to take power away from the South under Goodluck Jonathan and it was called "Political Sophistication" okay. The other South should also apply the so-called "political sophistication" in future elections, because it seems it's only peanuts you'll get from this Western government, you guys were played.

My questions for Southwesterners is when northerners start their games against Tinubu's presidency who will stand with you, or you guys think they won't? Study all Southern Presidents and study where their opposition came from. Obasanjo was able to withstand Atiku and his people cus he was a retired general and he had fellow Southern support including North Central, when They came for Goodluck Jonathan he had Eastern support and North Central too but Southwest betrayed the South. So when they come for Tinubu Southwest will be standing alone, don't expect the so-called Southern unity you did trampled on different occasions

Lastly, we are on a wrong and dangerous trajectory, this winner takes it all kind of governance we practice won't take the nation anywhere but will cost problems in the future and if care is not taken history may repeat itself.

Happy weekend!

I believe that Nigeria's chances of success are severely hindered by the prevailing tribalism among the three major ethnic groups. This type of mindset is detrimental, and unless addressed, Nigeria may continue to face challenges. Even if an Igbo man is a saint and exceptionally qualified to lead, a Yoruba person might still harbor reservations solely based on ethnicity.
Tribalism is undeniably a significant problem, with the Yoruba people being the major contributor. Perhaps, considering the possibility of allowing each tribe to pursue its path separately could be a solution, as it appears that a united Nigeria is currently facing insurmountable challenges.( Make everyone answer his papa name)
The love for one another for south can't work, and things are getting worse every day. People in the south dislike each other even more than they dislike the Fulanis.
It will never work.

You Ipob Obidient Igbo are just lamenting all over SM like fools.

In 1999 who were those that clamoured for presidency to come to the South ?

So you Igbo that claim you don't need appoint from drug brain are still the one lamenting the most. Why not wait for the Northerners to start wailing before igbos start wailing on their behalf.

I understand you are labouring in vain to breed division among the Southwest n North but every Nigeria can see through the deceit by you Igbos

So you igbos that were rejoicing that Tinubu as been sidelined, igbos that rejoiced when Buhari declared someone can not sit in Lagos n be dictating what happen in Abuja is the same foolish souls that now claim Yoruba benefit from Buhari ?!

If I may ask does one need to be brain dead or exceedingly foolish just to be and obidient ipob Igbo.

Tell me what work you contributed to making southern presidency happen? Yorubas( not all) vote for Yoruba candidate = bigotry. All Igbos vote for Igbo candidate= not bigotry

Election is over as Tinubu claimed and grabbed victory by force, so discussing election and pre election matters is a waste of time what matters now is what Tinubu is doing with his presidency.

I don't know you but I would agree you are smarter than them! People like you should be state actors; you have the mind of a true statesman.
Nigeria will never get well with unelectable presidents like balablu

But the south west benefitted heavily from Buhari's administration, the southwest alone got 30% of key appointments and you all defended Buhari vehemently. Why now accusing Buhari of nepotism?

Re: Still A Southern Presidency? by kokoA(m): 8:52pm On Sep 16, 2023
To be fair and neutral, I really don't see anything wrong with this provided the people being appointed can deliver. Anybody given a new position no doubt would prefer to work with those he/she is already familiar with over the years, you don't expect me to work with people that I don't know, it will take us time to understand ourselves. Buhari worked with people he knew before he became president, Tinubu is doing thesame.
