edicolove: One funny thing though is that ACN folks keep claiming they were part of Jonathan's emergence. I live in Lagos so I really wonder at such claim. They never came out to vote during the presidential election. The figures are clear on that. The non indegines in the south west were the votes Jonathan got from there. Their claim is very funny and hypocritical. Truth is PDP does not need yoruba votes to win in 2015. If the yorubas don't change their strategy, they will find themselves completely isolated very very soon.

GAR3TH: One thing that makes me laugh about Nigerian politics is how people can not take criticism. Instead of tackling the problem, explaining yourself and damage control both politician and their followers will go out of their way to make the person or group who criticized them the bad guy. What is wrong with criticism, only in nigeria will the guy telling you not to hug the transformer be the bad guy. There is nothing wrong in tasking your politicians and holding them accountable for their actions, whether or not you support them or not. This is why nigeria is the way it is today, your politicians steal billions but yet you still vote for them next election because his from my tribe abi. nonsense, just look at how foriegn politicains are tasked by both their supporters and opponents everyday. Naija we hail thee.

Demdem: Once again, this is what the retardeen useless yarns has led us. After intoxicating himself with as much kai-kai as possible, what else again? He goofed big time, no doubt about that.

jason123: Edicolove, since when did the SW or any zone for that matter, lose control of her political destiny to non-indigenes?

jason123:
Hope you realise that it is wrong to insult your elders? Yes, GEJ cannot satisfy everyone but guy we need to take the chill down with the insults . . .

ilugunboy: Some retards and dunce and finding thief way into NL in huge numbers daily. Saying Yorubas did not count in GEJ run to Presidency is the height of either mischief or plain stupidity.

I live in Lagos and understand the politics of Lagos. Lagos is not being ruled by the Yorubas because they are more in number but because the non indegenes or other tribes shy away from the politics. My point is very clear. If you make the issue one of Yorubas against the rest of us, you will create a situation where non indigenes will begin to allign themselves against the Yorubas. This is not about insults or name calling. My warning is very clear and about facts. I saw a bit of that in the last elections. The ACN folks at my polling booth clearly told us during the presidential election that it wasn't their day and that they weren't really interested. They boasted that we should come back and see what will happen during the following weeks gov election and true to their words, they turned out en masse. I observed that in at least 3 polling stations.

The non indigenes in Lagos far outnumber the indigenes. Places like Surulere, Ketu, AJ, festac, etc are majorly other tribes. That many of them can speak Yoruba doesn't make them Yoruba. The truth is, if you want to criticize GEJ, by all means do. But when you create this situation where everything ACN peeps do is right and whatever GEJ does is wrong and you want to claim you are being objective or that you have Nigerias interest at heart, you are creating a divide that will come back to hunt you. And to think that everyone else cannot see your real agenda and motive is very delusional.

This church building issue is sooooo petty that it will really lay ACN out in the sun to dry, believe me. If you think Nigerians from across the country is really going to take this serious, then you have truly lost it.

edicolove:

Insult cannot change the facts. Did you notice the difference in numbers between the voters for the presidential and governorship elections? Can you explain that difference? Secondly, if the Yorubas had an agreement to supportt GEJ like some claim, why did Osun not deliver?

The fact is clear, the votes GEJ got from the south west were votes from the small number of Yorubas in PDP and the non indigenes who are[b] not necessarily PDP but did support GEJ then. [/b]

jason123:

I am not drawn to this whole church issue because, as you said, its too petty an issue to discuss about. There are somethings GEJ, as the president of the a multi-ethnic and secular country should ignore. Why reduce the office of the presidency to pettiness? There are more pressing issues than church matter and GEJ knows this.

You are talking about Lagos alone what about Ekiti? Did the non-indigenes also get to Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo and Ogun? Even in Lagos, have we had a non-indigene as a local government chairman? Yet, they rule Lagos according to you.

My point is, every ethnic group in the South voted for GEJ to be there. Just imagine for a sec that Buhari had won the remaining 5 SW states (since Lagos is taken according to you), will GEJ be there today Exactly. It was a combined effort not a solitary one.

stillme: I'm sorry for mr president. His fishermen are not helping issues. They think they are protecting him from criticism but not knwing that they are exposing him to more criticisms.
As matter of fact they have failed to know that GEJ is not a president of Ijaw,he is a president of nigeria.

alj harem:

and why did they support GEJ ? Bigotry or what ?

edicolove:


Of course I supported him because I needed a change from the majority rule that have ruined the country over 5 decades. You don't think that is a strong reason? Some of you lads have a false sense of importance really.

Get it in your thick skull. Hausa/fulani and Yorubas ruined this country for 5 decades. If you think I will be afraid to say that because you will call me a bigot, then you need to have a rethink. This is 2012 and we are very aware and ready now.
