What can Ijaw do? Lol, Ondo state is totally in the hands of the omoluabi. The governor is Yoruba, the deputy is Yoruba, all the commissioners are Yorubas, the civil servant is Yorubas, even ileja local government chairman is a Yoruba man. Yoruba is the official language of commerce and instructions in the local school, in fact, Ondo state is a typical southwestern state

Ijaw own the oil in Ondo state, there are other tribe in Ondo like Ilaje related to Yorubas and Izon related to Ijaw. Ijaw and Ilaje own Ondo.
Ilaje are Yoruba not a tribe on its own. Ondo state is a state of different Yoruba group that are not of OYo stock but that doesn't make them a distinct tribe from Yoruba.

And this one has found a way to ass lick buhari. Buhari fans don't disappoint. Whatever the situation..good bad or ugly his balls must be licked clean. The writer addressed nothing but simply tribalised the whole thing. You are justifying these attack because you think most of them are IGBOS. Come out clean..wave your tribalism card high.
Hatred will not kill us in Nigeria. Neither Zambia or Malawi or Zimbabwe spun the ethnic card..but us the supposed giant are not even speaking with one voice. We are looking for an Igbo or Yoruba to blame.
Trashy epistle.
Don't mind him. I just wish the same guy will be a victim of such attack.

I am apolitical and believe Nigeria will never work with this structure, therefore I don't vote. But my reading of political landscape, it will take miracles for Yuroba to win in 2023 due to following reasons.

1 The North feel buhari is a failure and didn't make required progress expected of him and they want have to have it again to make up
.

I am in agreement that the current structure will not work but those items you listed bellow are just your personal opinion.
To start with, the North doesn't decide anything. Nigerians will decide who will be president and any individual vying for the position will have to build bridges among the different stake others across the Nigeria. irrespective of Buhari performance, the elite in the North will like to keep power if they can

2 Atiku actually won but was rigged out.
We can't be that sure that Atiku actually wins the election

3 Ss felt SW betrayed them by supporting the North.
The southeast and West never had any agreement in the first place, the southeast have been sabotaging Yoruba since Nigeria was created, the mere fact that we both live south pf the River Niger doesn't mean that we both share the same political views.

4 SE feel it's their turn , Obasanjo took
yuroba turn
.

Rotational presidency is between south and North and not between the six geopolitical zones. Yaradua was from Katsina in the northwest and Buhari is also from the same state and region, when presidency is zoned in principle to the south, all the 3 zones have the right to vie for the position.
5 Middle belt feel SW kept moot while killings were on.
This is your wishful thinking

6 PDP zoned presidency to North and it's still powerful.
This is in material to south west chance of producing the president. provided they can win the APC primary and keep the major stakeholders happy they will have the upper hand

7 With the above, there is no way a SW candidate can win a Northerner in 2023.
A nutural person analysis.
Your opinion

And what tribe is Sani Bello? Is he not a Hausa man?

Are Hausas the majority in any of the zones that they should be representing Niger east and Niger north when the governorship goes to these areas?

Do you know that if Niger state is divided into 3 today according to the geopolitical zones, a Hausa man can never be governor in any of them?

Yes, power will go to Nupe next, but that does not mean that Hausas did not rule Niger state for 16 years in a row, when they do not even have 1 single LGA in which they dominate. But Nupes with 8 LGAs cannot do this! Gbagyis with 7 LGAs are yet to produce a governor. So what are you saying?
Yes, you are right, but who is a Hausa man? The true Hausa are so few in Niger state that the few around are settlers from the northwest. Sani Bello is not Hausa but an ethnic minority from the Niger east that has lost his ethnicity to the Hausas due to their closeness to kebbi and other northwestern states.

The real losers are the gwari, i usually feel for them, they have lost their land to the Hausas settlers, they have lost leadership position in the state to Hausa. Somebody like David Umar would have been a wonderful governor but he will never get that position because of his religion. Even gwari have been taught to hate on their brother due to religious difference, I think education is gradually changing their views now.

Very great submission. The only part I disagree with you is the Kwankwaso being attractive to northern minorities. Maybe muslim northern minorities but not Christians. Kwankwaso is a known religious bigot.

Atiku is the only northern Muslim who is attractive to northern minorities cos he is detriabalized and not a religious bigot.
I mean to say " he is not even attractive to northern Christian minorities"

I always enjoy your post here, you comment always come with great insight.

Atiku is the only Muslim northerners that have the muscle and popularity to win the presidency

candidtalk:
Anyone who knows the North will understand that If Buhari was like GEJ, i.e weak and unprincipled, then the entire South will be starving today because the North lives on nothing but government patronage. Buhari has been measured and fair even as many hate the man to the extent they fail to see this. People will be shocked that things will be much worse under the likes of El Rufai, Tambuwal, Kwankwaso and other Northerners who will simply not be able to keep their greedy brothers at bay.

The North needs saving from itself and I think only a focused President can help to wean them off the self-destructive shackles they have imprisoned themselves with like the Almajiri system PMB bravely wants to do away with.
I am Yoruba and I will always support Yoruba presidency but let us tell ourselves the truth, Jonathan was a million times better than Buhari. In fact, is the worst democratically elected president we ever had in this country. He is completely daft and lacks the most rudiments skill required to lead a country. If not for the religious bigotry nature of the Muslim north and the selfishness of Tinubu and ACN of the southwest, Buhari will never have been elected president of Nigeria.

The feudal system is what is killing the north, the elite in the region is to be blamed not the common man in the street, the elite has used a combination of poverty, illiteracy, religion to completely destroy the family structures of average core northerners. They will continue to do vote slowpoke into a position of authority if we continue to practice the centralized system of government.

El rufai is an ethnic bigot that is very egocentric, no one can trust him with the power he will always bite the find that feeds him. Atiku brought him into the limelight but he later betrayed him, he will still betray Buhari if given the mandates. On his own, he doesn't have the money and popularity to run for president.

Tambuwa is a lightweight, he can't even win the primary of PDP.
Kwankoso has the popularity but doesn't have the money and popularity outside core North, he is attractive to even the northern minority not to talk of southerners.
Atiku is the real deal, he has the money, popularity and he is generally accepted in the middle belts and southern Nigeria, he can also divide the vote in the core north since Buhari is not running.

The game-changer for the Yoruba will be to present a progressive man like Fashola and reach out to the middle belters, SS and south-east.

I personally will vote for a Fashola or Atiku.

This is exactly how it will play out. In 2023 they will align with Igbos to win again which will anger the SW. By 2030 the igbos will want to have a shot at the presidency which the north will not support. Then the north will again align with the SW to win again. By 2038 the SW will want have a shot but what will play out by 2023 will play out again and the north once again aligns with the SE to win it. In all the scenarios the disunity among the southern region gives the north the president. SOUTH PUT YOUR HOUSE IN OTHER FOR NIGERIA TO MAKE ANY HEAD WAY.
Politics don't work like that, it is only on this page you see people bringing their personal sentiment to discuss politics. You speak as if, all the Igbos, Yoruba or North speak with one voice.

The core north can't hold on to power, such a practice will most likely lead to disintegration Nigeria. For any political party to convince the majority of say, south westerners to vote for a party, they will need to appeal to the common man in the street, either through propaganda or vote-buying, in reality, whoever has the bigger pocket and propaganda tools will most likely win the election.

The core north normally votes along the religious line. Provided you can get the religious leaders in the north on your side, you will share the vote with whomever you are contesting against.

The north-central also vote along the religious line and the Christians in the region will always vote against any politician perceive to be of pure Hausa-Fulani political leaning.

Southern Nigeria votes based on tribal and how well you can sell yourself in the region.

In summary, it will be down to money, propaganda and how many of the religious, traditional rulers and political elites you can have on your side

Hmm, leave them. I am just watching the likes of happney65 and Candidtalk.

Do you know that Hausa-fulanis is just like 5% of the population in Niger state? Yet they produced 2 governor in a r ow and are about ruling the state for 16 years on a stretch, something which the Nupes & Gbagyis who are the majority in the state cannot do!

How do they do this? By jamming the heads of the natives.

If not for TY Danjuma, Fulanis would have taken over Taraba state by constantly jamming the heads of Jukuns & Mumuyes against each other.

Even in Plateau state where these people are an inconsequential minority, they still manage to jam the indigenes' heads against each other for favourable positions.

Yorubas will learn their lesson openly very soon, if they are not careful.
Stop overrrating Hausa-Fulani.
Talking about Niger, I am very conconversant with Niger state politics, I have been living there all my life. There is zoning in place between the three geopolitical zones in the state, namely, Niger north (kotongora and environs, Niger east ( zone B: suleja and Minna) and Niger south (zone C: Nupe zone). Though, the Nupes are the overwhelming majority but decide to allow for zoning to allow for peace and unity.

In 1999, Kure a Nupe man was the governor, he rules for 8years. In 2007, it was the turn of zone C and, Talba (who was born in Minna, with gwari mother and Hausa father ) contested against a gwari Christian in the person of David Umar, he won simply because he was a Muslim. Religion always plays a part in Niger state politics, not ethnicity.

2015 was the turn of zone C and the region produce 2 candidates in the person of Sani Bello and Nasko. Nasko won and he also won reelection for the second term. I am assuring you coming, 2023 a Nupe man from Bida will be the governor.

Talking about Niger state, the Nupe dominate the state from civil service to academics, judiciary, health etc. Niger state is actually overwhelmingly dominated by the Nupes.

you guys always scare potential builders with your quote.

so 20m can't build a house with moderate quality finish, at least something adorable. Cost of land is not inclusive o...and yet 20m can't do anything quality even if it's moderate level?

These houses I see at Ajah that goes for 35m, yet the finish is moderately fine tuned not too high class like having Victorian chairs or some Gold plated shiny interiors.

I think you are exaggerating tho!
One reason I don't like coming to this thread to read stories, it can be discouraging.
No one is exaggerating anything.
In this clime, 20m can't build you a five-bedroom duplex, it is as simple as that.

The problem we have in Nigeria is people planning to do what they can't afford, a simple five-bedroom bungalow with moderate finish can even be done with 18m, but extending that to a duplex may be problematic.

I just read about three pages of the thread with argument on whether or not 13m would complete 5 bedroom duplex.

Don't get yourself confused and cheated. Walk up to professionals to seek advice.

So many factors influence the completion cost of a construction project. With the nature of economy, and if you will use quality finishes prepare 18-20m
No matter how poor the quality of finishing is, 18-20m will not give you good duplex in any path of Nigeria.
Carcass alone will cost you about 13-15m, while the most moderate finish will also as much
