It was the same thing that happened to Ajimobi and led to emerging of Seyi Makinde. Other regions should embrace this

They just don't get it, that as a sitting governor, the party structure in your state is not your property and so can't be used anyhow, they are the foot soldiers, they are the grass root, they are the ones taking all the knocks while doing the job in a dangerous political terrain like Nigeria.
Did Okorocha succeed?.
Did Qmosun succeed?.
Did Fayose succeed?.
Did Ajimobi Succeed?.
I don't know what is wrong with people, Dickson worked in cahoot with PDP money bags in Osun to give the ticket to Ade dancer, despite protest from the runner up, and other interested parties, who insisted that the votes must be recount.
Dickson fled the venue, forgetting that Ade will be facing the ruling party, so many people did not vote thought they want a change in Osun.
The idea of Ade as their governor just doesn't sound good to them, PDP eventually lost that state.
Now in Lagos, the party structure said they don't want Ambode again, Tinubu had a choice to keep his party machiney and win Lagos or keep Ambode and sink with him, he choose his Lagos.
This is what Dickson could not do and Bayelsa becomes a walk in the park for APC.
The party is always bigger and stronger than any individual no matter how strong they are, PDP lost Abuja when half of PDP left and join APC.
I hope Obaseki is watching, you can't treat people who made you as nuisance, Obaseki played his game too early, he exposed himself and this is how he lost.

Grundig:
It appears only wike and to a lesser extent dino can go toe to toe with federal govt might and come out smelling of roses.

Kwankwaso and fayose tried it and failed.

Dino just lost the senatorial election, he is crying now, he said the results were changed.
Only Tinubu and Orji Uzor Kalu, challenged the federal might and survived.
Tinubu Battled Ob j for close to four years, this is what earned him the title "lion of Bourdillon ".

Kapilta:
please remove pa Awo from the thing abeg. Was it not useless zik that turn himself to slave for the north even when they didn't ask for his slavery service. He fought Awo for no reason when the man was only trying to protect his own, zik went behind him and align with the fulanis just to become a useless ceremonial president. Such a useless greedy fellow. May he rot in hell.

Nigeria failure started on him, even the north really do not want one nigeria, he forced it on them all for greediness so he can have lagos all to himself..

Such a useless fellow. May he rot in hell again, he's the major reason we are all here today.

Forgive Zik, Zik had a dream of a great Nigeria, he wants to rule, to bring this dream to reality.
He didn't know that dreams sometimes die first,, this is Africa white men may have lumped us together, can our minds and thinking be equally lumped together?, this is where Zik got it all wrong and why Yorubas will always see him as a sell out.
Since Abraham Adesanya, Yorubas have resolved to only carry only Yoruba loads and nothing more.

QuotaSystem:
1. The British met an organized people that had already developed administrative systems with emirs and their ruling councils which made it much easier for them to govern through the indirect rule system. This is documented in several historical books on the subject.

2. To suggest it was due to subservience is total rubbish. Sokoto fought several wars against the British in the 19th century and even defeated them in one battle. There is a throne (chair) sitting in the Sokoto museum to this day, which was gifted by the Queen of England to one of the early Sultans, and had the sculpture of a slave in chains at the top. The Sultan refused to sit on the throne until the sculpture was cut off from the shoulder up; another act of defiance from the sultanate.

Thank you, the British saw effective administration at minimal cost, this is why they adopt indirect rule.

seniormallam:
With this result I'm seeing from okun land, Yoruba's are the samething all over, trust them at your peril, Kogi people if I hear anything from you people's mouth again, enjoy whatever bello dished to you henceforth, somebody that is supposed to be thrashed like saraki, see this kogi people self, we in other states could hear your suffering and see your poverty when travelling by road to abuja.
Ogun kill you people there, yeye bello; kogi people are at your service, kill them All

Dino don loose the senatorial election?, this one that you are laying emphasis on Okun people, na only then vote for this Kogi election?

garfield1:
Am the greatest on nairaland.did i not say that bello will win two lgas in igala land? I have no rival in this forum

Guy your analysis is on point.

Chai Buhari got no chill, Ghana truck divers should fley their trucks in by EDO Air Force.

This is not looking good, what will Yinka Odumakin wail about?.

Wonderlabius:
. try ogbomoso mango you will never taste those mentioned above again.

Omo that mango na war, you can never have enough of that mango.

Twofoursix:
If you want to be rich don't go to school because the hardest place to get rich is working for somebody. We value money more than education. Most of billionaires we have today in Nigeria made it not by what they study at school.
For the fact that women are bad does not mean that they are not good. It just depend on which side you are viewing it from.

Of course Jack Ma, Bill gates, Mark Zukerberg and Jeff Bezos didn't go to school.
One thing I've come to appreciate about knowledge is that, you can't discuss what you don't know.

Johans1991:
Assuming this happened in d north. Children of hate would have made 50 pages by now.

Or Osun state, don't mind them, empty noise makers, they born like rats and spread them like virus on SW, come and see them in Lagos, especially when Dem just come back from VIRRAGE, after Klismas.

CAN of worms should just order Buhari back to Nigeria, how can Buhari visit the archbishop of Canterbury and suddenly a British ambassador converted to Islam?.
Buhari is on undercover operation to Islamize UK, before we say jack Mama Chalie, the prime minister and the entire house of commons will convert.
This is not looking good, CAN, FANI, association of Nigerian Christian bigots, BiCHOP Oledepo, I pray he still have that key to the gate of hell, all of you should stand up and wail, shout and fight as Christian soldiers you says you are, even though we know you all are NOT, do something o, Buhari must not Islamize UK.

Dikegodspower:
we the Igbo s don't hate youruba s..
but we hate the way the allow themselves to be use by the northerners.
the day they stand up to defend sowore,,we the igbo's will have a second thought.

You don't even know Igbo history, if you Know how the north had always describe Igbos as the beautiful bride, you won't be here yearning opata.

kettykin:
now this where the problem is, the same Awolowo that was the previous year begging ironsi for his freedom after being incarcerated for treason now became an exterminator once released from jail against biafrans, the same man that was jailed without resistance became a hero once out of jail against biafrans

Biafran army wants Lagos and you expect Awo to be nice and cozy with Igbos, are you alright?.

Rada rada, how many votes did Sowore got from his root at Ilaje Ese odo of Ondo state?.
And some people are expecting the totality of Yorubas, to stand up and start fighting for Sowore, did Yorubas send Sowore to go and take advise, that have now landed him into trouble?.
We shall see Sowore when he gets out, if he ever gets out, lesson it would have be better for him, not to have contested that 2019 election, than to become a bad looser by declaring revolution, what was he thinking?, is he mad or what?.

SalamRushdie:
Nigerians truly don't even know the Job of Legislators , they leave their Local govt Chairman , leave governor , leave minister of water only to end up blaming a law maker

So why is a law maker collecting constituency allowances?.

Omoodua007:
Idc what happens to Niger delta
You had NDDC ministry of Niger delta 13% derivation and presidency
You ought to had built more prosperous cities than South west
Instead ijaw was trying to establish itself as a dominating force smh

They stole everything, one of their SINNERTOS, collected mobilization fees for 300 contracts without executing even one of those contracts.

Ken4Christ:
You are as dull as your leaders. If he is really interested in you, he should also ensure that the price of local rice is regulated. People are already facing untold hardship and you are making them pay more for a poor quality rice.

He should also ban importation of refined fuel which is what is actually consuming the bulk of our foreign exchange.

He should also ban importation of keke na pep which is making India rich and Nigeria poorer by loss of foreign exchange.

He should also ban products like cooking stove and many other things that can be produced locally.

This government I repeat those not have your interest at heart. A president whose daily budget for refreshment alone aside foodstuffs is N68,000 will never feel the pains of the people. Yet people are starving in our IDP camps.

His budget for transport for 2020 is 750 million for local traveling and 1.75 billion for international traveling. And minimum wage of 30k is difficult to implement.

If this was Facebook, I would have blocked you. I can't stand people who can't reason rationally.

Eat local rice and stop all these stories, if government cannot pay 30k minimum wage people can get jobs in the private establishments.
But when private establishments are not allowed to flourish by smugglers, na to dey cry for 30k sure pass.
While people who hawk drinks around here saves 2k daily, idle capacities in government office are crying for 30k, radarada, your life is what you make it.

ChiSomtoChi:
The last time I checked the Action Group leader was very happy that the Akintola and his group has been killed because they wanted to plan a jihad on 17/01/1966. If not for that 15th Jan coup, millions of Yorubas would have lost their lives in a Jihad. Ask Ademoyega about this. Ask Col Nwobosi about this. Watch his video.

Nothing wey man no go read for nairaland, Akintola wanted to plan a Jihad?, Akintola an Aare onakakanfo of Yorubaland, who's name is SAMUEL planned a Jihad?.

murphyibiam15:
even war torn Libya is still number 1

Libya is even ok, at least they can still fall back on the old glory of the Ghadafi era, what I don't understand is the presence of Cape Verde and Ebola ravaged Congo on that list.
Any list that doesn't include Ethiopia, Ivory coast and Nigeria is a sham.

Grinding machine is far better than 4liters of kerosine

kiiiiki....you go lament tire....

once nigerians focus on something,then its over....

btw,op,your sayin is not right....
europeans are too busy with their own wahalas than to care about you....

Its deeper than you can imagine, did you know that a CIA agent confess to killing Bob Marley?.
He confessed on his sick bed before he died, that Bob Marley's lyrics was awakening black conciousness all over the world and DOGS needs to do something about it, so the assignment was given to him.
He pretend to be a entertainment journalist, and begins to follow Bob Marley about, he bought a canvers and laced it with a poison, and present to him as a birthday gift, Marley put his legs in the canvers and develop sickness.
Bob Marley's sickness was diagnosed as cancer of the lungs, because Marley smokes ganja " weed ", but Bob Marley was actually killed by the CIA.

Litmus:
People reading your article will never know how close you are to the truth. Using the term "White Devil" does not help since it makes you seem dogmatic and conspiratorial. Anyway, Nigeria’s 200 million population is not as important as Nigerians believe in the way Nigerians believe. Nigerians mindset is what they fear. Nigerians mindset is what makes Nigeria unacceptable to the controlling influences you are describing. Free trade Zone will eradicate it because Nigerians are now more easily influenced because of the concerted efforts of the past decade to demonise them. The average Nigerian now no longer recognises any good in his self, state, culture, place in the world, and is always ready to discard what he has in favour of inferior ones of others. With the old Nigeria mindset gone, Africa is lost to the cult of West’s narcissism which is often expressed on alter of consumerism. Capitalism is a monster created by the West. Like an insatiable furnace, it requires more and more shoved into it and by far its greatest fuel is black inferiority complex.

Wa gba iyi.
Nigerians, cannot see beyond food and enjoyment.

Ken4Christ:
By then, his aboki brothers should have made enough money doing rice farm. Why do we think Buhari has no rice farm also?

Did anyone stop you from owning a rice farm?..
Did the government place a ban on rice importation, bring your rice through the ports and pay the duties.
Buhari is even too Nice closing the border against smugglers, i will order a shoot at sight on them if I have such power.
A country that cannot feed itself cannot grow, farming is the only available option to people who have no skill or education, you want farmers to produce and and end up selling at loss?.
The foreign rice that you prefer, the people who produced them are not related to you are they?.
Eat Nigerian rice, produce your own rice too, we go buy and chop am.

awoluyi:
Almost all the comments concerning borders closure focus attention on rice and nothing else. Should everything be about stomach?
I remember Fela's record, "Jęun koku."
Intelligent and thinking people would have looked at the positive sides of this policy if there are any and at the same time highlight temporary hardships the policy may impose on the citizens.
It is unfortunate that some people are
checking their blood pressure on 3rd November because of what they will eat on Christmas day (25th December ).
Haha!

Why do you think this country is backward?.
All that Nigerians know is food and enjoyment
Anyone who tries to get them to think, plan and save becomes an enemy.

With which structure?, who stopped Igbos from contesting the presidential election?.
Obi Ezikwezeli and Kinsley Morgalu are both Igbos, did the Igbos voted for any of them?.
Ok on which party?, I hope it's not on a terrorist Islamic party like APC?.
Can the Igbos win an election without the votes of the Muslims, the Yorubas, the Fulani, the Hausas, the Almajiri's and so on?.
Their sure bet is on PDP which have already zone the presidential ticket to the north, if they get the ticket from PDP, they might have a chance.
Unfortunately for the Igbos PDP is a bussiness organization, they will not risk an Igbo candidate, they know it will be a hard product to sell.
So vice president sounds more like it, provided Atiku is not going to be the flag bearer, Atiku cannot win an election in the North, but PDP will still give him the ticket because they want his money.
Igbos should just strategize for the position of the Senate president from the APC, and gradually work their way up, to the presidency.
I shouldn't be the one telling them this, they are supposed to know better, they burned a lot of bridges, but that doesn't mean the bridges are irepairable.
This is a ten years plan, they better start working NOW, 'cause I don't see APC loosing power at the center anytime soon.

obiekunie2:
defenThats not what am saying sir. i said it will affect all Nigerians but we from the south will suffer it most and the christians in the north. my reason for saying that is because majority of the security personnel heading our top most security post are muslims from the north and u and knows that an hausa or fulani man will rather warn his muslim brother to desist from saying things against the government then he will free him.

but u knows that if they arrest a southerner or a northern christian, they will show no mercy.

You better don't post what you can't defend, even that rubbish you post, is enough to get you a visit from KGB if you are a Russian.
Southern Christians?, the only people that's after the Christians are your Bishop, G.O's, pastors and so one who are using jazz to exploit the ignorance of the sheepies, thereby destroying their lives.

AntiBalaka:
When the north finish dealing with you , you will begin to blame Igbos for your continued folly.

I know tinubu will pull out from the APC to run under a quickly arranged Yoruba party with alliance with weak northern parties .

The disgrace he will get at the polls will be extended to every oyoruba as it will be testament of how Yorubas will be rejected nationwide .

Soapy tears already?.
Cry me an ocean.

AntiBalaka:
The north can survive restructuring .

It is only the SW that will collapse in debt and penury if Nigeria is restructured .

It is no secret that same useless SW got the highest bailout from the FG.

Osun got 40bn four times more than Kano state.

The north is no longer the parasite?, now it's the SW.
South East governors did NOT share this sentiment of yours.

AntiBalaka:
[s][/s]

You are spewing jargons.

Since 1999, one politician has always aligned with the north and that person is tinubu

Tinubu will be at the forefront castigating Obasanjo .

Tinubu has supported 3 northern candidates (Atiku, Ribadu and Buhari).

Look at that result sheet again and you will see that Olu Falae ran under an alliance platform with APP - a northern party.

You goats need to stop projecting your angst in Igbos.

Falae lost in every state in the south and north. He only won in the SW.

Why blame Igbos for your loss?

Yoruba NEVER blame Igbos for any loss, it's Igbos blaming Yorubas for voting Buhari and Yorubas are only making reference to the 1999 election, that Igbos cannot CONTINUOUSLY vote against Yoruba interests and expect Yorubas to continue to play maga.
Falae won three states in the North, go and look at the result again.
The 1999, 1993, 1983, 1979, and previous election results speaks volume.
We can't ignore our friends in the North and allign ourselves with those who don't wish us well.
Bye.
