@Musabayokanu, from your position, you want the NC to stand as a swing bloc? That's to say they should play the second fiddle to the south in an election, same thing you want to emanciate them from in the north.

The regions in the south are standing alone, how has that helped them in negotiating for their regions?
From Joseph Tarka, david mark to Bukola saraki, the NC has produced senate presidents. They have produced heads of state, and occupied every positions of importance.
What are you saying?

strykr:
Are you this obsessed with South easterners/Igbos. The article is talking about Northerners, the national assembly member that raised the bill was a Northerner. Every single person or thing mentioned was about not, yet you still found a way to bring easterners into the discussion. Is this not madness or what do we call it.

Igbo obsession is very real o. Didn't know Igbo love and care is this important to your lives.

I mentioned 'south' too. Abi na only una dey south? I highlighted east because they don't create space for outsiders or their businesses to thrive in their region. Besides, you are the ones adding northcentral aka MB to your secessionistic agenda. Why won't you be mentioned in a topic related to those you claim to love?

Didn't you see where an igbo man almost became the governor of kano state? Can you allow that in your region?
Rochas was hated and called alhaji and okoroawusa because his mom is from the NC.

U ngu nena?
but say it in a way it wont look like its our fault

lol! It's not your fault.

He's trying his best. Even the governor shared wheelbarrow one time like that.

No be only middlebelt, na upper trouser.

lol!

oga in democracy no room to complain, its all about the majority.

one'eh, daun jor! Ukpandebe! Msugh...

I'm not aganst majority, i'm only saying we have divisions everywhere.

Kyase:
You only see them showing concern only when election is approaching or they want to swing ..........
after election they call us all mallams, remembered the first time i traveled to one southern state, when they asked me of my state and I mentioned Benue, the next thing I will is "ooh Hausa"...............

Their hypocrisy smells to high heaven. How many of those southeastern states would allow a 'middlebeltan' to operate a business or filling station without being given a partner from the host community ? How many people have they employed from MB or are employed in the private or public sector in the south? They hate every northener but show love to northcentral/MB when they want to settle their scores with the north.
The SS and NC/MB are regions of minority tribes and they're my best regions in the country.

Look at how humble Obaseki's men now sound.
All this could have been avoided if they gave him the right advice and didn't mislead him.

Asgard13:
Oshiomole can’t be Apc Chairman till 2023

The odds are already against him... even before now

except if APC loses Edo state, but aside this reason, any other one oshiomhole will be removed for will cripple or break the party.

opportunes:
I am speechless...this man want to bring division among the middle belters

what division? The rep member sponsoring this bill should first address the division in his home state of benue due to monopolization of governorship of the state by Tiv to the exclusion of idomas without recourse to zoning arrangement, then we can begin to talk of division.

HornyTave:
Call it whatever you like, all we want is security of lives and massive development.

Kwara, Oodua land, is in NORTH central controlled by the Fulani.

dem don start.
Did he mention your tribe?

Farooq, this is a brilliant one.

Those in the south who hate the fact that the north has a common language and somewhat traditionally connected are the ones pushing this divisive agitation because the south lacks that identity. The tip of southern end is SS but such location in the north is called 'core north' depite mostly being on the western and eastern flank.
If your definition of middlebelt is based on religion, you have as many christians in the north as you have in the SE or SS. If it's about excluding muslims, fulani and hausa, then, you have more muslims in the middlebelt aka northcentral than christians and you have indigenous hausa and fulani in every state in the north or middlebelt.
The proponents of middlebelt instead of northcentral want the northern identity taken off, have they forgotten those in Taraba, ADAMAWA, GOMBE, YOBE, BORNO, BAUCHI, KEBBI, etc? Because to them middlebelt is about muslims exclusion and christian inclusion.
Muslims are in the majority in the proposed middlebelt, and won't be part of anything that stands to exclude them. Here the failure of the project begins.

The north is a bloc, the southern dividers should find something to get busy with.

I can't miss Wole Soyinka's Death and the king's horseman. Though a short read, but a powerful play in proverbial utterances.

No doubt, Yourubas have always been a good representative of the continent —especially under the rubric of intellectuals.

Congratulations to Mo and another congratulations to my dad; Prof. W.S (cap. Blood)

'cap blood' abi?

most arrogant people are from that region or live in that region; they talk anyhow and don't have respect for anyone. They call him leader, he calls them pigs, mad people and worth jack the dog more than ipob members.

What did Yahaya Bello do to deserve 2nd term? Abeg, leave this your one sided story.

internet does not forget. Check the threads before kogi election and the one where results were announced, you'd see that I never supported yahaya bello, and i'm apc.
Irrespective of the political party you belong to, i place performance over party affiliation.

propsvilla3:
Always trying to give one or two reasons to exonerate the president from his world wide acknowledged weakness.

at least, he's not weak with his wife.

espn:
Apc will go to court and accuse him of certificate forgery and claim he is not fit to contest...

sure!

See you, hiw wife would have made a better president sef

moderatedguy:
Ask Ortom and Tambuwal too

Tambuwal won by less than 200 votes and if wamako had done his homework well, a cancellation from one PU
would have thrown tambuwal out.

I don't think Ortom was their target. He was extremely divisive and sponsored attacks and then blame fulani and this method worked in his favor. It was a delicate situation that apc thought it was best to leave it before other things are triggered. You know ortom did nothing to deserve a 2nd term other than instgating crisis. Na dem benue people de feel am as ortom be na..

Even Awara apc gave a subtle support showed wike pepper.

what's going on here?


Buhari is a man sha. He's going to be the only president in recent memory who didn't allow his wife to rule us or have too much power. The people around the president should stop taking advantage of that to disrespect her. You no fit try Turai and PEJ like that.

thunder74:
This what we asked Ambode to do before they relegated him to backyard.

you people always lead people to their political doom.
Ambode would have been impeached 3 days after decamping to the pdp and would have lost all benefits he's entitled to as a former governor of lagos state. Ambode is smarter than most of you advising him then. Even obaseki will be cut to size on that day of election. Ask mimiko, Amosun, Rochas, Dickson, etc.

How true is this?
Decamping to PDP might not help him, but it's good to try his luck elsewhere.

All this could have been avoided if he hadn't listened to shaibu and other airheads around him.

Even the party knows obaseki can't deliver for the party when it matters and he's also killing the party at the grassroots. They've lost members HoA, HoR and senate. Buhari also lost edo under his watch;these are things being considered and that's why you can't compare him to yahya bello. Though he's a better guy than bello administratively, but yahaya bello is a better politician.

That's serious!

we said it on that efcc thread, people like yaki84 called us names. Okorocha won't be that careless to steal directly in his own name and account.

yaki84:
This wan no sabi read Na to carry party for head like curse. So ihedioha na efcc chairman now

“It has also been on the basis of these petitions written by the PDP government then led by Chief Emeka Ihedioha against Okorocha and the family, that the EFCC has been on the neck of Okorocha . I'd call u on a thread soon.
