Well the South-South got it despite the Niger-Delta challenges and the north (east to west) isn't peaceful either but it does not stop their push for power. So to say leaders of eastern extraction should first handle local difficulties of national origin before aspiring for the leadership of this country is a bit disingenuous.

The North has led this nation proportionately more than the South and through all its challenges producing some decent leaders and some very ugly ones. It never shies away from power at the scent of it.

Tell me a region in Nigeria that has allowed a couple of miscreants, in the guise of self determination, to shut down economic activities, thereby plunging women and children, in their thousands, into unwarranted hunger?

Please, do not compare this to the militancy in the South-south... the militants didn't go about maiming people, in the towns, for flouting their orders, including maiming artisans and burning commercial motorcycles.

The worse of it is the glaring capitulation by the governments of the region. You see government officials unbranding and masking their vehicles in fear....no clear action to fix the situation, and restore the people's freedom and livelihoods.

All over the North East....Yobe, Adamawa, Borno.... thousands of formerly displaced persons have returned...and many are still returning to their homes and farmers.

You see Gov. Zulum boosting the people's confidence, even in the face of the challenges.

Do you hear of Ebubeagu anymore? You can't allow IPOB to call the shot in your region, and expect people to entrust the presidency of the country in your hands. Did Sunday Igboho shut down the economy of the South-west? Tompolo and Asari never tried that in the South-south..

Mind you the South-south got the Presidency by providence...not preparation. And we all saw how it ended. Preparation is necessary even with providence. Both are important.

Take your time and study politicians from the North and South west....you will see a deliberate effort at building capacity and sustaining dominance in the national polity....you see the Tinubus, Osinbajos, Fasholas, Fayemis...with real national influence.

Where are the governors of the SE who governed at the same time as Tinubu? We still have so much to understand about leadership in the South-east and South-south....so much!

Starz825:
I have always said this and I will say it again...
GEJ can never become the president of Nigeria again in his lifetime...

Not for any reason other than the fact that he has just 4yrs...
Even if the north plots to use him for four years so that they can get back in power quickly...the south will blatantly say NO..

Any presidential candidate of the south south ,south west or south east will always want to use their 8yrs completely....

Nobody want a candidate with a four year tag on his head ..

4-year tag or 100-year tag. Jonathan can't govern Nigeria again.

He is incompetent. Forget all the media hogwash, no Northerner will support Jonathan into power again.

The media guys must write. It is their job. They have bills to pay.

This whole presidency thing will begin to take real shape after APC convention.

The few certainties, for now, are that the next president will come from APC (not with projects such as the Second Niger Bridge, Ibadan-Kano Railway etc, already completed and commissioned), and Buhari will play a huge role in who becomes the next president.

The person wey go be the next president just dey look us dey smile...I think I know the person sha...e dey the current government.

alsudan:
Today it’s Jonathan, tomorrow Osinbajo, Next tomorrow Fayemi, another day Amaechi, then even Thiefnibu of all people.

PDP should borrow APC one of their competent Presidential Candidates.

PDP wey don die....


Mtchewww.

naptu2:
Right, let the negative comments and attempts at derailing begin.

Bro, see quality projects...very commendable!

Where are governors from the South?

El Rufai na my man anyday.

Bellfun:
When Peter Obi and the likes are already positioning themselves for the VP slot?

Give them VP slot for what?

Maybe, they are referring to the PDP.

'cos in the APC, the SE does not deserve the VP slot.

If the Presidency or Vice Presidency is to come to Southern Nigeria, the Yorubas should take it.

I am Igbo, but Ndigbo are not prepared for national leadership.

Imagine, common IPOB shutting down the entire economy of our region...where is the region's leadership?

Umahi wants to be president. Isn't that laughable? What is Moghalu's firm position on IPOB? What about the elusive Anyim?

How would all these 'mediocres' solve serious national challenges such as infrastructural deficit, unemployment, banditry, insurgency, dwindling income etc, when all they could do is keep mum on the activities of IPOB?

IPOB kept people in their homes for four whole days without any action from the state governments....this is shameful!

No Igbo man should talk about Presidency for now. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Not even in Borno did it happen, even in the heat of insurgency.

MALIGNANTGuest:
We never ready.
The day we go ready, na that day our redemption go start.

Places dey for Naija wey clean like that....if not cleaner.

Na we be our own problem... everybody dey act like craze, yet we want the country to good.

blamingthedevil:
Useless PDP and hopeless politicians... hope they did not enter Buhari train to Abeokuta, so that they did not dirty the train with their smelling baggages.


Obasanjo the most useless father of them all...

1. Withheld Lagos funds
2. Did nothing about Lagos Ibadan Expressway, while Buhari is almost completing the project
3. Did nothing about Lagos Ibadan railway , but Buhari started work on it 2017 and completed it 2020, (a space of three years)
4. Did nothing about Apapa -Oshodi- Ojota Expressway, Buhari almost completing it with PPP arrangement
5. PDP commission Second Niger Bridge on paper, But Buhari came and the bridge is almost completed
6 . Sixteen years in power, PIB was not passed by useless PDP, Buhari did wonders with it. .it is now law.
7. East West road was abandoned by PDP after stealing #200billion, Buhari is now completing the road
8. Enugu-Ontisha abandoned by this idiotic PDP , Buhari is now completing it with Sukuk Bond
9. Warri- Itakpe abandoned by this motherfucker PDP, Buhari completed it.

People will avoid your post like a plague 'cos you spoke the truth.

Na dem sabi sha...Buhari, as far as I am concerned, is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria, at least over the past three decades.

PresidentAtiku:
Tinubu supporter. Jonathan did because Yaradua died

Akuko!

And after finishing Yar'dua's first term, as constitutionally provided.....why did he insist in running in 2011? And in 2015.

Where were you Christians then?

helinues:
Only if this could solve the soot hazard in Rivers state

Self inflicted hazards you mean....

Shey na their oil...they will face the full consequences of their actions in years to come.

The environment is not what could be toiled with.

Something has to be done first.

ignis:
I am also from Anambra state, Aguata LGA to be precise. I can categorically say you know little or nothing about Peter Obi and his achievements.
Hatred and Sentiment have probably blinded your short sighted eyes.

You are from Aguata....for real? In what state did Peter Obi leave roads in your LGA after 8 years....I mean roads across Uga, Isuofia, Ekwuluobia....to other connecting towns such as Igbo Ukwu, Awka Etiti, Ichida, Nanka etc .

Do you not know that virtually all roads constructed under Peter Obi have gone terribly bad?

Have you travelled through Amaokpala, Awgbu and Umuawulu to Awka?...and across different other parts of the state to Onitsha?

Who spends such huge amounts of money on roads only to have them ridden with potholes in less than 8 years?

Did he keep Anambra's fund, amounting to several billions, in his Fidelity Bank or not? Is that what a good leader should do? Does this not amount to breach of public trust and a conflict of interests? See...these seemingly little things matter so much in leadership.

Leadership is about trust, verifiable track records, strength of character and consistency of standards. We are talking of the presidency of one of the world's most multiethnic and multicultural sovereignties....and not that of a Town Union.

People only talk about religion and tribe for a sense of belonging and equity for all groups....not in the sense of quality leadership.

Abeg, leave Peter Obi matter..look for another person.

PresidentAtiku:
Buhari= Muslim= 8 years

Tinubu= Muslim= 8 years again?

And we are clamouring for power shift to the south. Why not also power shift to another religious ?

NEVER

Instead power remains in the NORTH than to go to another southern muslim

Who sabi you?

Obasanjo and Jonathan are Christians and did 14 years...like back to back.

Did anyone die....abeg, carry your religious pettiness shift.

Who religion help?

ignis:
Peter Obi is smarter than the smartest man ever in your entire generation.

Do you think everyone comes from a shitty family as yours?

He is so smart yet couldn't leave a legacy as Anambra governor.... not one.

Not even someone with just First School Leaving Certificate as governor would save billions of his state's fund in a financial institution in which he has significant stake...that is your model of a smart person....mumu!

I am from Anambra state....and I make bold to say that anyone who gets elected as governor rode on the people's respect for the memories of the late Ikemba, to do so.

Obi didn't become governor on merit. What are his antecedents?

He is the smartest person on Earth...let him declare and vie for office of President and let's see if can win his Anaocha LGA.

That's Africa for you. The man who get rich without any traceable history or source as to how, is deemed the smartest...

I can't blame you...you are just one fool out of a countless number.

AsampeteNwaanyi:
e pain am ooo
how far incoming cofnor Andy Uba

I am an Anambra man.

Who is Andy Uba?

He will never rule Anambra....

No mind them....dem just dey ginger.

Viraltrends123:
He visited 4 times

You dey mind them?

Shey them say e don die?

Viraltrends123:
You guys will always complain, those that built the infrastructure, weren't they employed, or if there is work, shouldn't be road to go to your work of place. Someone built your brother a house, he praised the person, but you are here complaining why he did built house only, without giving him job or money

You dey mind them?

Their brains are twisted..

Is it possible to build schools, bridges, hospitals etc, without engaging people, either temporarily or full-time?

Even after construction, no be people go work as doctors, nurses, gardeners, teachers, cleaners, security guards etc, for those facilities?

They are just so pained.

jneutron4000:
Are the projects in Rivers state and Akwa Ibom, Federal projects or state projects? I am talking about Federal projects not states projects mr man. What can you show for 16 years of pdp in power at the Federal level. Federal projects under APC administration far supersede that of pdp miserable 16 years despite the fact that crude oil was sold at the best price under pdp.

Please, just leave PDP...

It is a very useless party with no positive footprints at all.... except for their legacies of impoverishment, darkness and corruption.

ignis:
Infrastructure and projects, meanwhile the state is facing heavy insecurity.

Misplaced priority.

So, they shouldn't build infrastructures because there is insecurity. Where is no insecurity? Tell me.

How do you create jobs without making capital investments?

As a matter of fact, there can't be a surer way to enhance the economy than improving infrastructures.

I guess Peter Obi is your mentor...you sounded as distorted as him.

Seunosewaismad:
well, the name 'buhari' is synonymous with
"chaos" . Zoo

Make e be...

If visible projects scattered all over the country mean chaos....so be it.

We like am like that.

coldFLARES1:
I would tag with your nomination: Chukwuemeka Chikelu, for me, dwarfs all others in delivery.

If not that this is an open debate...there won't be any need comparing Chikelu with others.

Chikelu is in his own class....

Ndigbo should look for that young man, as he is our surest bet for the presidency.

I don talk my own.

He is sellable to every part of Nigeria.

Schooled in Maiduguri, humble, highly efficient and a decent gentleman....yet resolute.

Ttalk:
What Ohanaze cannot do, Jonathan has done for us

The same way he built the 2nd Nigeria Bridge and other infrastructures for us abi....

Everyone knows Anyim is going nowhere.

Ojukwu sef no fit win one state for the entire South East....e come be Anyim wey dey always sleep.

Emeka Anyaoku dem don old, and no get interest in politics. People like am for be our best cards...

I don't know where this young man, Chukwuemeka Chikelu, is sef...these are the Igbo Presidential materials.

Not Anyim Pius, Orji Kalu, Peter Obi, Dave Umahi, Kingsley Moghalu...you can't sell the candidacy of these ones beyond the Niger Bridge....Jonathan just dey deceive himself..no be me.

Rickmann:
Jo


Oga, Stop being tribal..
Any little thing here y'all go on the defensive.

It's no news that jungle justice is also practiced in the southwest and north. So its a Nigerian thing and not Biafra.

Never mind my tone. Nobody has ever known me to be tribal. I am Nigerian.

I can't continue to live with the reality that this is actually happening in my state.

It is terrible....you are right. However, the spate of this unsightly occurrences in the SE / SS regions are worse.

Sergio104:
..

Are we actually talking about the same man or am I missing it out??

Obi is way afar from who he packages himself to be in the media...

We sabi dem wella....you no go know...trust me.

What reforms did he put in place in Anambra?

Did he conduct LGA elections in 8 years?

Where did he keep the billions he saved for Ndi Anambra? Fidelity Bank right? Does he have a stake in the bank? How significant is his stake in the bank? The roads he constructed in Anambra....how far?

What were his landmark projects?

I dey wait.....

Sergio104:
Indeed nothing you can do for a man will satisfy his unending insatiable greedy desire.

infact.....bad leaders is what we need as African so that we can have that our complain in full. you are telling me that after your analysis of Peter obi's era as the governor....... you didn't see the actual meaning of true leader.


Then something is really wrong.

Imagine...

What analysis are you talking about?

I asked you to name his landmark projects, and you come here to say meaningless things.

If Obi is the kind of leader you take him for...he wouldn't even agree to run for office with someone like Atiku?

What sort of government would they have run?

Leave talk...name Obi's legacy projects in Anambra where he served as governor for 8 years? Since you know Obi and Anambra more than myself.

Sergio104:
Peter Obi my choice

The man is tested and trusted.

forget unnecessary propaganda against him. The way he handled the "Godfatherism menace" in Anambra is still a hundred question to be answered. And upon that propelled Anambra to the Zenith

Propelled Anambra to where?

Abeg, make we hear word....

I am from Anambra...and I know every goings on there.

Almost all the roads constructed under Peter Obi are in terrible states now. When did he leave office? Just 8 years ago.

Can you name his landmark projects

Sergio104:
Peter Obi my choice

The man is tested and trusted.

forget unnecessary propaganda against him. The way he handled the "Godfatherism menace" in Anambra is still a hundred question to be answered. And upon that propelled Anambra to the Zenith

Tested? How?

He was governor of my state.

Peter Obi is not good enough to be president. I have met him one on one.

The man knows next to nothing about Nigeria, plus he can be really petty. He isn't detribalized one bit.

rooftops:
He said he gave one million dollars to his church, money wey dey go back to am. Why he no give fatoyinbo church

That is to tell you that lying has levels...

Lai Mohammed dey learn where this one dey.

GoodHardDick:
After cashing out massively!

See arrogance!

We no go blame am na....

When our people dey mumu follow dem...

DannyXpress:
If we must continue with APC, then this man should be our best option.

Well what do i know

Fashola will do Nigeria good.

I do not need people running to Daddy GO when they should be finding real solutions.

GeneralOjukwu:


They are good but can NEVER even be on the level of 1994.

Yekini Amokachi Finidi George in the attack

Okocha, Oliseh, Adepoju Midfield

Thompson Oliha or Chidi Nwanu as Libero

Okechukwu, Iroha, Eguavoen at the back

Rufai in goal....

Only Moses Simeon can make the substitute bench. We never got a 9 like Yekini, a 7 like Finidi or a 10 like Okocha. No one close!

No be lie my brother!

These ones no reach 5% of the '94 squad.

I only see one bankable player in this current team....Moses Simon.

That's my only guy!

Zombies have been making a mountain out of this molehill since yesterday as if MNK made a taboo statement.

Jesus is the father of Christianity but he was never a Christian himself.

So, zombies, Zukwanike...

It is only a stupid, stinking drug addict that would bring the Jesus analogy into this subject.

Who is Nnamdi Kanu sef?
