I lost total interest in this article once you said the North is using herdsmen against the South.

This article is too prejud7ced and biased.

I am apolitical and neutral and speak from that point.

The North suffers locational disadvantage. The Norths "decline" also mirrors the decline of the Nigerian economy as well.

Yes, fulani herdsmen menace on South is a psychological war of attrition. An example suffix here. Over 80 bodies of kidnapped victims were discovered close to Fulani settlement in Abia state. In other words, they were aware of it but chose to remain silent.

Okwyjesus:


I think north is using SE brain, they may offer VP as usual. For me its presidential slot or nothing even if it's 4 yrs deal before power goes north.

Else Tinubu should gladly continue.

The North may likely allow Tinubu to do his second term and hand over to them as usual than going into a new alliance with SE but in politics anything is possible.

Odin13:


North that stopped Obasnajo .. and brought him to his knees to beg

North that gave ojukwu.. total surrender as an option and won it

Are still north till infinity

Plus your igboho minus your ipob..

They will still be your masters .. as long as Britain remains a country

Go and bail Kanu first.. thought he’s a Briton ?

Obasanjo was never supported by the yorubas, the northerners made him who he his........the SE and SS were busy foolishly following PDP up and down, in 1999 Obasanjo lost SW to olu falae, at a point tinubu was the only opposition governor in the whole of Nigeria, latter on it spread to other SW states and beyond while ibos were in covenant with PDP

Difrent:


Which i disagree.
Look Buhari has proved it twice and now PBAT. You don't need igbo votes to become president. it's inconsequential

It's inconsequential because elections are rigged,
In saner climes, with the strategic positioning of the Igbos in Nigeria, you can't win without their consensus, but that's a discussion for another day.

Now I see y'all love to brag about how strategic these Northern/Western Nigeria politicians are, and how the Igbos will never be President until the end of time.

But one thing I'm shocked no one is seeing,is that it's only the political elites/class are actually enjoying and benefiting. Apart of the bragging rights that supporters get that your tribes man is the president? What else exactly are you actually gaining or benefiting from your tribes man being the president.

Until you all understand that we are all being played by these politicians all over, then we will never know that we are actually the victims here.

Tinubu is breaking their stronghold very hard and they knew. The north prefer president they can bully like Jonathan but definitely not Tinubu.

On that they may shop for puppet

Sadwaste:
Northern Nigeria has been on a steady and fast decline both economically, politically and socially. The extent of its deterioration is so bad that it's happening within a generation.

Here are some examples of how the North has collapsed:

1. From the 1970's and up till late 1990's, Kano and Kaduna used to be the most industrialized states in Nigeria after Lagos. The textile factories, refineries, vehicle production, consumer goods, and agro processing etc have all closed down. Today, several Southern states have overtaken them. They include Ogun, Anambra, Oyo, Rivers and Abia states are now ahead of all Northern states in terms of industrial output.

2. There is nothing like One-North anymore. The middle belt states, particularly those with significant Christian population are no longer aligned with the North politically. They now either stand alone as Middle Belt or try to align with South.

3. North used to be famous for its vast agricultural output. The era of groundnut pyramids, cotton, hides and skin, as well as numerous cash and food crops is now gone. Sociopolitical upheavals and collosal insecurity has laid waste to it all. Many people are not even aware that some of the livestock and agricultural produce arriving in the South today are actually coming from other countries such as Chad, Niger and Burkina Faso.

4. Before, whenever North coughs, the entire country will catch cold. But not anymore, today, if they try to cough, others in the South will bang at the table for them to keep quiet. If they threaten violence, others in the South will threaten them with severe mutually assured destruction. Now, they can't threaten with military intervention/coup. They can't threaten with religious riots. The only method they're using now is fulani herdsmen but they too are receiving heavy push back in the South.

Tinubu understands this situation North has found itself, and that's why he is going all out against them without minding their feelings. Tinubu wouldn't have dared what he is doing to the North today, if it were still North of the 1970's to late 1990's. He wouldn't have dared install Wike as FCT minister. Neither would he have replaced Fulanis in strategic positions with Yorubas. At the same time, fuel is today far more expensive in the North than Lagos and most Southern states. He quickly humiliated and silwnced El Rufai before sending him on exile. Insults Buhari anyhow and is waiting to rubbish Atiku and Kwankwaso if they step out of line. Tinubu is Machiavellian, he is now using divide and conquer against the North by pitting them against MB and also against SS. Tinubu knows that Northern muslims are so unhappy that Wike is the FCT minister but he doesn't care. If they threaten Wike, militants and pressure groups in the SS will draw the battle line with muslim North. So, without having the middle belt on its side nor SS and Igbos, the core North has become isolated and Tinubu is now rallying Yorubas to go for their jugular.

Totally wrong. Tinubu is not going “all out” against the North. He is a leader who knows Nigeria is at death’s door. He is responsible enough to move bravely and uncompromisingly to avert our looming demise.

Tinubu is trying, regardless of whose Ox is gored, to do the right thing. Capitulating to the North, cabals and interest groups is what has gotten Nigeria where she is.

If the right things are done to rescue Nigeria and such affects you, to include the North, then learn to reform yourself to operate within a new environment where the interest of Nigeria is above that of any ethnic group or cabal.

Tinubu has already shown you and Northerners his thinking but you were not paying attention. During the Fulani herdsmen militia menace under Buhari, that threatened to destroy Nigeria, Tinubu advised the North to embrace scientific Netherland-style ranching that would make Fulanis educated, influential, productive and very rich livestock farmers.

Instead their feudal lord and master, in Buhari, announced “no going back on grazing routes”.

Do you now think Tinubu, with power to transform our nation with his powerful office, will tolerate that sort of regressive blackmail.

Tinubu is not “dealing with the North”. He is merely asking them to step up for their own sake and that of the existential progress of Nigeria.

Nigerians should back Tinubu and shame/reject those who want us to remain in the stone ages. If you understand what is at play you won’t be starting a thread like this one.

Okwyjesus:


Tinubu is breaking their stronghold very hard and they knew. The north prefer president they can bully like Jonathan but definitely not Tinubu.

You're giving North too much power they no longer possess. You think if it was in the past, they won't have forced Tinubu to remove Wike since?

You think if it was in the past, you wouldn't have started hearing rumors of coup or impeachment? Even religious crises?

Those were factors muslim North used to intimidate Southern leaders but they can't work now.

They're currently so bitter with Tinubu but they sulk it up in their closets. The occasional rants here and there are the few outbursts from their bottled up frustration.

North has collapsed, without those factors I mentioned above, they're finished. Tinubu knows this and he isn't even pretending. Their future is very bleak and the worst mistake they made was to support Buhari's impunity. Now, they have nothing to leverage on. They've become a huge deadweight on Nigeria and the rest of the country that is SS, SE, SW and MB knows already and are getting fed up with them. When you're in such unenviable position, you have nothing to fall back on.

Nah, that's your own simplistic opinion. Tinubu isn't out to save Nigeria as you put it. Rather, he is only interested in feathering his own nest. He is more interested in becoming a sort of emperor while elevating his tribe above others in Nigeria.

Being in full control of Lagos has made things very easy for Tinubu. Lagos by virtue of being the base of our economy, is the new "oil". Control Lagos, and you will be in control of Nigeria to an extent.

Except Lagos influence is drastically reduced, Yorubas may end up becoming the new "Fulanis" in the emerging Nigeria.

Decentralize everything in Lagos and ensure they're distributed to other regions like Abuja, P.H, Kano, Enugu, Kaduna, Onitsha etc. Tinubu won't be where he is today, if not for Lagos.

That Tinubu is a Machiavellian has never been in doubt, but the truth is, the average man on the streets doesn't care about the chess games played by the political elite. All they care about is their ever diminishing financial and economic power and the rapidly escalating cost of living.


At the end of the day, Tinubu runs the risk of losing everything he's gambling if he fails to sort out the economic factor

Sadwaste:


The core North has become endangered in the grand scheme of things. Tinubu gave them a Greek gift called Muslim-muslim ticket only to decimate them. Once Kwankwaso loses out in Kano and Wike humiliates Atiku out of PDP, then it's all over. Ganduje is a weak man and Tinubu is empowering him alongside other weak Northern politicians while sidelining the tough ones. Classic Machiavellian

By 2027, only Obi will be the only credible opposition left.

2elliot:
Don't be decieved by the north. They are in with Tinubu and the south west. The ethnic bigotry is an agreed one in their fraternity coven. After Tinubu, another northern bigot will continue like wicked Buhari. FFK has already confessed that the north and south west have build an undefeatable alliance. The north is only being quiet waiting patiently for their turn to unleash their demonic agenda.

That is North West because no North central and North east has never ruled Nigeria

Unfortunately, Nigerians behave worse than slaves. Performance or lack of, is never a criteria for winning elections in Nigeria. It's all about tribal and religious sentiments. The likes of Tinubu knows this already and that's why he cunningly decieved Northern Muslims with his Muslim-muslim ticket while shouting ronu to Yorubas. By 2027, it will be rinse and repeat!

You people and your redundant talk plus pedestrian thinking. Tinubu is extremely wealthy enough for his several generations ahead.

What nest, for a logical thinker, is a man of 70 who is extremely rich looking to feather? Buhari was broke when he became President so we can understand the allure of stupendous wealth, he now controlled as President, going to his head.

Not Tinubu who has always been rich and able to make money. His property portfolio is enough to make him richer than some small Nigerian States and I don't know how small-minded someone has to be to think same man spent so much time and effort, since leaving office as Lagos governor, plottinf to be President because he wants to "feather his nest".

Tinubu has had a private as far back as when Buhari was si broke he had to rely on stipend from political leaders who had goodwill for him.

You with the username of "sadwaste" has no allegiances or preconceived bias and prejudice ba?

We all have allegiances but the ability to think and talk objectively, progressively, and as critical thinkers seeking solutions for society always, is what sets us apart.

As an example, I want the best for the North and wish they would adopt the template of using the Awolowo model of aggressive development of human resources as a launchpad for the development of the region.

Yet, if Northerners prefer to listen to Gumi and Shekau because both are their ethnic and religious affiliate, rather than an Awolowo-type then I see no reason why Yorubas should go down with the North all in the name of "one Nigeria". There should be no pateonage or reward for those who dedicated themselves to doing what is wrong and regressive always.

Let a brave President give us all a governance model that will allow those who love progress to gain such without encumbrance from others. Tinubu is the only Southerner that can deliver that Governance model.

Argue with fact against my opinion but don't tell me the only southern leader with the bravery and support base to stare down enemies of progress is someone you can shame others away from supporting to follow a clown, coward and failure like Obi or the Dubai dweller who is never there when Nigeria is troubled.

Many of you are just prejudiced against Tinubu because of your innate bias. You have no factual justification , or proven history of leadership efficacy of all contestants, to argue any other can lead better than him.

To make Lagos fifth biggest economy in Africa and the only state in Nigeria that can self-fund herself na beans whereas Obi only took Anambra backwards, increased poverty rate and was in bed with genocidal killers?

Atiku, the Dubai dweller, is not even worth talking about. Overall, not had to tell who has jnprovressive allegiances. At least I am.backing a proven leader who has delivered while people like you want us to play Russian roulette with failures and reprobates like Obi and emptily desperate Atiku.

RepoMan007:
Empty junk. The north is the one running things in Nigeria.

The north owns NNPCL and only working refinery in Nigeria. Has better roads. The richest man. The food capital of Nigeria.

North is not running anything. It is the misguided opinion that they are, propagated by some hero-worshipping Nigerians and scaredy cats, that has made this myth resemble reality.

What exactly did the North do when Tinubu, unlike Jonathan, defined his Presidency as he wanted to include historically appointing a Southerner FCT Minister and EFCC boss?

The truth is that the North has always traded on the fear that they are a feared people , dominating the military and armed forces, able to create violent problem for Nigeria if they do not get their way. Imagine Gumi threatening Tinubu that Mr.President will not get a second term for making Wike FCT Minister.

Yet folks like you keep ignoring the fact that modern occurrences keep discrediting the so-called ‘North owns Nigeria’ charade. Remind me what happened over the food blockade the North convened under Buhari to punish the South.

Was it not the North that blinked first when their tomatoes were getting rotten without patronage from the much richer South?

Today, Lagos is the top business startup zone in Africa and the SW is essentially Nigeria. If the SW uncompromisingly down tools then what? Tinubu know the cumulative worth to Nigeria of the SW and other zones to Nigeria.

His actions are not to harm the North. His thinking is that of most progressive and well-educated Nigerians, that many are too scared to voice out, which is that we must stop indulging the North and help her so we help ourselves too. Nigeria can never be well unless the North is well or removed from our nation.

The North contributes a whopping 87% to the most poverty-stricken people of Nigeria. What kind of “owners of Nigeria “ is that. This is a region and people who need truth spoken to them so they reform for the better rather than take us all down yet we all indulging them and hailing them “owners” of this and that.

Southerners , especially, Igbos, ‘gaslighting’ Tinubu by saying he is harming and mistreating the North, just to cause disaffection for Mr.President because Obi lost, are too hateful and vindictive to appreciate how myopically harmful, anti-progressive and dangerous what they are doing is.

If the North, instigated by the likes of Gumi, gets riled up enough to start conduction pogrom on Southerners in the North I wonder who the biggest victims will be.

You with the username of "sadwaste" has no allegiances or preconceived bias and prejudice ba?

We all have allegiances but the ability to think and talk objectively, progressively, and as critical thinkers seeking solutions for society always, is what sets us apart.

As an example, I want the best for the North and wish they would adopt the template of using the Awolowo model of aggressive development of human resources as a launchpad for the development of the region.

Yet, if Northerners prefer to listen to Gumi and Shekau because both are their ethnic and religious affiliate, rather than an Awolowo-type then I see no reason why Yorubas should go down with the North all in the name of "one Nigeria". There should be no pateonage or reward for those who dedicated themselves to doing what is wrong and regressive always.

Let a brave President give us all a governance model that will allow those who love progress to gain such without encumbrance from others. Tinubu is the only Southerner that can deliver that Governance model.

Argue with fact against my opinion but don't tell me the only southern leader with the bravery and support base to stare down enemies of progress is someone you can shame others away from supporting to follow a clown, coward and failure like Obi or the Dubai dweller who is never there when Nigeria is troubled.

Many of you are just prejudiced against Tinubu because of your innate bias. You have no factual justification , or proven history of leadership efficacy of all contestants, to argue any other can lead better than him.

To make Lagos fifth biggest economy in Africa and the only state in Nigeria that can self-fund herself na beans whereas Obi only took Anambra backwards, increased poverty rate and was in bed with genocidal killers?

Atiku, the Dubai dweller, is not even worth talking about. Overall, not had to tell who has jnprovressive allegiances. At least I am.backing a proven leader who has delivered while people like you want us to play Russian roulette with failures and reprobates like Obi and emptily desperate Atiku.

Forget about my moniker, I just like the sound of it, nothing more.
The political leaders of Northern Nigeria made a choice years ago, albeit a very wrong one. They refused to invest in education, a key factor in enduring growth. They wanted to continue using their uneducated hordes to for their selfish interests but they forgot that free oil money will end one day. Today, oil earnings is no longer enough. They've suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation.

I agree that Tinubu showed guts against North but saying he made Lagos fifth biggest economy or whatever is pure nonsense. Tinubu only ruled Lagos between 1999 and 2007. There wasn't anything tangible on ground to show for those years. It's absurd to credit everything that happened in Lagos between 1999 to 2023 to Tinubu. The only major thing Tinubu did in Lagos is to make himself an emperor of sorts. With almost everything used by 200 million people domiciled in Lagos, even a dumbo will still rule the state and he would appear like he is a genius.

Saying that Peter Obi is a coward is laughable. A coward can't have the guts to deny moneybags and opposition who were in control of the house of assembly the opportunity to steal. A coward can't abandon a party like PDP to join an unknown party like LP and took them to win election! You've been too oppressed by politicians to the extent you developed Stockholm syndrome. You see politicians that are ruthless and wicked as strong while those that are compassionate as weak.

Again, without Peter Obi, it would have been extremely difficult for Tinubu to emerge. Because the entire East would have gone with North and such aliance would be too difficult to rig out.

In 2027, I would rather support Tinubu than support a Northern presidential candidate regardless. Except of course, they agree to back Peter Obi as president.

Charles Darwin's theory has started taking place in Nigeria. So, it's better to allow Tinubu or Obi to continue with it than allow another Northerner that will come and take us back like Buhari did.

no use style toast tinubu

omo ibo go on your need and beg

Oga you are understanding me upside down.
It is your bala bluu that should be on his hands and knees begging the Igbo.
Though I concede that he may not succeed in getting Igbo support, but he should at least try.
There will be too many willing tools in Igboland to use against him if he doesn't.
Nigeria is a game of tip tac toe.
That Fulani silence should really worry you.

The feeling is very mutual. lol
And yes, a Carmel would have to pass through the eye of the needle before the Igbo nation would accept an election rigger as president.
The "try" I used is a nuanced word in politics.
It is mission impossible.
Your bala bluu is standing on one leg in a tripodal country.
In Igboland we say that a one-legged man should not take the title of "Mr stability".
The Fulani are strategic thinkers and they see these things, and smiling.
Bala bluu is sitting on a keg of powder.
