I actually feel the Old East is coming back.

Look at how the Igbos are working with the SS minorities. We are actually championing their cause.

People need to realize the GEJ has united the East once again.

It feels great to be a GEJ supporter.

And finally someone who speaks the Igbo tongue is president.

Are you pro-Ribadu or pro-Shekarau or pro-GEJ? Just a random question for the OP.

THE AMAKA:
this thread is disgusting. if GEJ is elected, what unity will take place? people will still be battling igbo vs yoruba till death. i believe the only way to really unite Nigeria and clean it of its tribal bigotry would be to elect someone that is going to move Nigeria FORWARD. the Nigerian people have been filled with misplaced hate and anger due to bad governance/poor leadership since the day Nigeria came into existence. why would anyone sit around for another 4 years of people dying preventable causes, no power, corrupt higher learning institutions, no jobs for graduates, more looting, more corruption? etc etc etc. IMO, thats all PDP stands for. they are good for nothing. Nigerians are too worried about zoning and who is what and who is going to vote for who and who can win which state based on religion/tribalism. SMH. i don't know who is the best candidate, but GEJ is def NOT the man for the job. put all that tribal crap aside because that will get Nigeria nowhere. all these people saying "we voted for our northern brother, yorubas voted for OBJ, easterns will vote for GEJ because he is from there" are dummies cause its all crap. all those people that were elected, what have they done for their own people since its their people that keep voting for them? NADA. majority of them still live in abject poverty and Nigeria as a whole.
its funny that EzeUche is making all this noise, but he is nowhere in Nigeria. its easy for you because you come from the privledged in Nigeria and live here in America, so you dont suffer what the average Nigerian is suffering. as KoboJunkie rightfully pointed out, GEJ has had over a decade to improve the conditions of the people in the Niger Delta and he has done SQUAT. what makes you think he will do anything for his own people or Nigeria as a president? only fools will fall for such.
come 2013 and Nigeria has made no steady improvements, i won't doubt there will be a movement like Egypt.

REALITY101:
Not until you change you scary profile picture

ekt_bear:
How does this go along with democracy? What if a majority of people do not think that minority is the best person for the job? They should vote for him. . . just because?

In other words, zoning (which GEJ sought to destroy)?

There is a fundamental inconsistency here. If GEJ believes that zoning is dead, then is the alternative not people choosing freely who they want to lead them?

You cannot have your cake and eat it. If you keep zoning intact, then the SS can rule again once it is their turn. If you destroy zoning, then it becomes a free for all.

Onlytruth:
My point is that this election goes FAR beyond competence. It strikes at the base of our unity. Most folks here still don't see it.

Let's assume that Jonathan and Buhari are supported by their various sections of Nigeria; but Buhari has ruled before, and his section has ruled Nigeria for 38 years or so; why should Nigeria ignore someone from an area that never ruled before, and MAY NEVER rule again if he loses?

These questions are for those with brains, not oafs.  

EzeUche:
It is about time someone from the Niger Delta, become president. Only a Niger Deltan can fix the problems associated with that region, which is the most important issue that is plaguing Nigeria. Since the Niger Delta is the goose that laid the golden egg, it is only fitting, that a minority from that region produce the next president.

I am not an Ijaw, but I am in full support of GEJ, because I am optimistic that can solve the problems plaguing the region, more so than any other person running for president.

Onlytruth:
Again, if Bayelsa is in North West, can someone swear that we would be having this same conversation.

A dying Yar adua was busy plotting his second term in office, while folks were openly stating that there was no vacancy in Aso rock! LOL.

Onlytruth:
The Igbo say that "a man with scrotal elephantiasis can only deceive foreigners by covering his deformity with long wrappers, all kinsmen are not so deceived"b].

[b]If Bayelsa state supports Jonathan MASSIVELY (90%+), why can't I from Anambra state, if we are truly one country?

Onlytruth:
I would only back down, if I see GEJ approval in Bayelsa at less than 50%.

Only then would I accept defeat in this debate.

Bayelsean will vote based on tribal sentiments and you know this.

I see your points, and they are very valid!
However, I'm thinking about Nigeria as a whole unit.

If GEJ get's less than 90% of the votes in Bayelsa state; then I would start seeing the points of those who want to hang him because he is in PDP. Nigeria is much more than PDP. As some of you know, I am a sworn APGA man, but I'm thinking about Nigeria, so APGA has to wait.

Can you Northerners do the same for Nigeria? That is my question.  

Abu-Maryam:
In either way GEJ is a victim of been PDP member, in the past twelve years pdp have not offer anything good to Nigerians, now is a time Nigerians are looking for better hand that has more relevance unlike PDP, I bet you if GEJ will quit PDP things would have been another way. No matter how Good is GEJ as long as he is under thAt umblela i pity him,  oh you didnt see Fashola he shun the umblela while its raining. Nobody is polarizing choosing of Buhari within the content of ethnicity and bigotry. BB ticket is most will happen if we are to reach our dreamland, P D P is failure, shike nan

Abagworo:
People like you are part of our problem in Nigeria.Who told you that Jonathan's loss is because of being an Ijaw.He has failed to address the Ijaw issue and Nigerian issue as a whole.I lost faith in him on October 1st 2010 after he assembled retired criminals and called them MEND.

I[b] want Nigeria to work and that is what every right thinking Nigerian should want.Let the refineries really work,let the teachers really teach,let the police really secure,let everything be by merit,let's say no to bribery and corruption,no more sorting in schools,no more indiscriminate dumping of refuse,let us join the queue and wait our turn.All these are achievable only under one man.This is our chance to right all the wrongs of the past.

Let's help Nigeria WORK

Let's vote BB.

@Alj Uche

What did your brother Yar adua achieve in 3 years?
What did Shehu Shagari achieve in almost 5 years?

You think we don't remember these.

Jonathan is not even the president now, he is only serving out Yar adua's term, and inherited a lot of mess.
He has been reshaping policy and actually did some work.

Obasanjo was complaining that 8 years wasn't enough for him.  

You guys should speak the truth for once.

Thanks for understanding

_{N.b. . .Don't bother posting a reply to my comment cos I won't reply and I'll do exactly as I've said so if una like make una knock una heads for wall}

Yeah before Jonathan came to the helm of power YarAdua was making good progress with MEND and all Militants. But you can see now how backward we are with your GEJ in 11 months, only God knows how far back we will be if he wins Godforid.

What do you expect a Nigerian president to achieve in 11 months? Frankly!  

[]Look, most of you northerners are fond of saying that you love Nigeria, but you refuse to make the necessary sacrifice to see the country stay one. [/b]

[]You have only been out of presidency for a few years, and you are threatening fire and brimestone and conducting endless meetings and conspiring against a man from a minority tribe in Eastern Nigeria whose only "crime" is to want to serve his country as president. And you don't see how his people feel about that?[/b]

Believe me, a lot of folks supporting Buhari are those want want Nigeria to break up -some do it knowingly, while some do it unknowingly.

I cant believe that Bristol Sagamoron is a moderator?

How come?


And yes, we need a northerner as a moderator.


Aisha alone is not enough, we need Alj Uche

Do you think that Buhari can handle MEND? Do you think he is skilled enough to handle MEND?

Alj Uche

Can you help me understand why Nigeria's unity is threatened simply because the north has not tested presidency for a few years out of the 50 years of Nigeria's independence?

What about the East that has only tasted it now for just one year?

Who do you think would leave Nigeria in such scenario?

Gayigaskia:
The guy can't even unite the thieving PDP,how can he Unite Nigeria

Onlytruth:

Actually, if Jonathan loses this election, Nigeria may not survive it. If Buhari loses, nothing will happen. 

ekt_bear:
What evidence is there that he will unite Nigeria? Seems more like hopeful thinking.

Objectively speaking, he stands a good chance of destroying Nigeria too.

EzeUche:
There is hope for Nigeria. With optimism, we can move this nation in the right direction.
