[quote author=Perkins2018 post=81456969]There is nothing special about how northerners vote. The igbos vote exactly the same. It is left for you to present yourself to them. Abiola defeated a Kano indigene in Kano. Any southerner can be president if you win the south and the middle belt.
Am always bemused that Southerners can't keep to reason that precedent was set in 2011,united south and middle belt will beat the north in any election.
Papertrail11: If these northerns have a field day by relecting themselves the biggest looser would be Tinubu not anybody else cos you made a political merger that set Nigeria 20years backward.
Both The Igbos and Yoruba need a united front we have out own shortcomings yes, but if we are united we can do almost anything.
Our founding fathers who established zonning foresaw that in other for everyone to have an equal representation at the center power must be rotated.
Buhari is currently using Yaradua's slot, and its best he uses it and handsover peacefully.
On point sir... they have started already, let's see how it goes.
Stingman: But Buhari and APC are doing everything to make it happen.
It's unimaginable that the core north that contributes the least in national development, have all the positions in government, jettisoning Federal character and quota system they introduce themselves. How can they have NPA and customs...that should be left to SW, NNPC..that should be left to the SS..but still keep FCT? This is in addition to controlling all the 3 arms of government
It's absurd that Buhari and the cabal are not able to read the barometer of the temperature of the nation...
Party politics should not mean the winner takes it all especially in a complex diverse country like Nigeria. APC has no wisdom nor tact.
Buhari was so selfish with his appointment damn! Even Abacha won't descend so low on croynism and nepotism.... and the southwest kept quiet for a struggle they both worked for....too bad
osazsky: the old United or the new one that has bought almost every player on twitters,can this current team beat a determined lobby stars team,am not a Chelsea fan but d truth always sounds better to d ears,whoever runs this new man u is a white Buhari.i dont see that happening soon draw match
Zikora1000: Una see life? Ordinary protest, they sent Python dance to kill IPOB members and term them a terrorist organization but in the north , they are setting up business for ex bandits and patting them at the back for a job well done. U see north? North will not have peace until all almajiri s there are wiped out from the smallest to the oldest. Stop having children you cannot take care of. What's the essence of giving birth to future terrorists ? It's better you abort them than for them to end up as killers, terrorists and murderers.
You are 100 percent right. Northerners are very closet people interms crime and criminality when it comes to our national questions,my fear is that there no end in sight of this devilish politics unless the day igbos will trust the yorubas in the quest for southern inity.
midolian: Guy, you are only interested in arguing and nothing more. Nigerians were tired of the PDP for a long time before finally, God gave them APC.
I have stated clearly that the party deserves to be praised in some aspect, the people in some other... and most importantly, God that made it easy.
There is no point dragging this ish with you cos, apparently you are not from Kwara.
Don't mind the guy,he's an observer from afar....otoge was an idea that was fully ripe and would have crush any other party, even if such party had presidential backing.
The op is being liberal with his "Nigeria simply means “The Nigger Area” or “Land of the Black slaves” and his "River Niger simply means the River of Niggers or Negroes as you wish to say". I mean, is everyone simple like him thinking he can just fill other peoples heads with simpleness!
Negro, and it's variants neger and negar derive from various Mediterranean language words for "black", including the Spanish and Portuguese word negro (black) and the now-pejorative French nègre. Etymologically, negro, noir, nègre, and nigger ultimately derive from nigrum, the stem of the Latin niger (black) (pronounced [ˈniɡer] which, in every other grammatical case, grammatical gender, and grammatical number besides nominative masculine singular, is nigr- followed by a case ending, the r is trilled). In its original English-language usage, nigger (then spelled niger) was a word for a dark-skinned individual. The earliest known published use of the term dates from 1574, in a work alluding to "the Nigers of Aethiop, bearing witnes". According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first derogatory usage of the term nigger was recorded two centuries later, in 1775.
Just you imagine what he'd say if we had been Niggeria!
Which leaves his "black slaves".
Well, I'm definitely black. And to be honest with you, if you want a donkey of a human being, strong as an ox, can work from dusk till dawn on little resource producing wealth when well managed but pretty clueless on my own, its me.
I mean, go take a look in the Land of the Free and the Brave and you'd see what the sweat of my brow and the blood of my veins and my whole entire being when managed well built, and I talk Kunta Kinte managed, whip, chains, rape and all, to get that donkeyness in me to be resourceful! I guess you can't do that no more seeing as its 2019 and not 1700, and to be honest, the closest you get these days is paying me a decent wage for my donkeyness because, it's just about the best donkeyness in the entire world, and I've since evolved and don't work farm no more but digitally, disciplined and for myself.
Let in be known that I, buda is a black slave from the area that the Niger flows through. A very proud arrogant Nigerian. After all, its not like anyone but myself chain me!
Slavery is not my shame. It's those who enslaved that should be ashamed of themselves!
