I won't mind voting for Rochas Okorocha.

Definitely not my better choice. If you want the status quo to continue, then vote for okorocha.
He is a de-traibalized Nigerian anyway who would certainly play well with the currently established powers.
What I have in mind though is a departure from the norm.

ElsonMorali:
Sorry. Not going to happen in a billion years. Whoever we shall vote for shall have to merit it and not because his parents hail from a part of the country.

Let's stop being silly for once.

Other democracies vote in people because of their capability some sorry dudes are coming to canvas for votes for a region.

Nonsense.

Nigerian politics is already tribalized. You need a fresh start to start something more progressive. And to only way to get a fresh start is when stakeholders are satisfied and have trust in a system.
A yoruba candidate can never get the support of the south for now even if he/she is the best candidate? Why? The need for Justice and fair play.
And the only bloc that can create a progressive electoral system that would influence the rest of the country is the south for obvious reasons.
The north will not do that for you.
So there need to be political equilibrium in the south before anything happens.

PassingShot:
The sect is not banned but the IMN group and its gathering and procession. It doesn't stop any Shiite from being a Shiite or from practising his religion.

Evil always supporting evil. Why not adopt them as you adopted Dasuki?

Nonsense!

Evil Supporting Evil really?
What is more evil than oil-money funded soldiers blowing off the brains of fellow citizens on the streets because of difference in ideology? You are sick.
Sunni muslims are responsible for a majority of Nigeria's national security issues. Surely, we can find one or two groups there to ban.

olapluto:
fa fa fa foul.
None of these will have my vote!

That is your problem, doesn't change the current reality.
And from your post history and ideological view on politics, I am not surprised.

Address issues based on facts.

The group has been outlawed and any procession embarked upon by them is an illegality. As such, security agencies can lawfully disperse them with minimal force.

I know you guys are wired to support anything and anyone having issues with the government of the day even though there is no sense in doing so.

Iran CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO NIGERIA under PMB. That much was told their president by Buhari himself the last time he tried to interfere.

You world-views are very delusional.
Besides, why should a whole Sect of islam be banned and not the other?
The Sunni muslims have constituted the greatest damage and danger to Nigeria over the years than even the shittes. Why not ban Islam totally?
Afonjas sef and the way they think like paid lackeys. Sometimes I wonder if fela was truly from there.

Other Honourable Mentions from the SS include Pat Utomi, Henry Boyo, Donald Duke.
Men, maybe not world class, but infinitely suited for the presidency than Buhari.

olapluto:
Name that Igbo politician or likely candidates and their merits. If they deserve to be voted for, Nigerians will vote for them. We are more rational than you think.

I don't think Nigeria has any world class presidential candidate that I know of, but in terms of being better than buhari I think they are quite available.
Peter Obi- Vey efficient and Lean govt, frugal with emphasis on Maximizing generated Resource, and with a Good Economic Sense.
Willie Obiano- Still watching Him, but he Seem to have a good head on his shoulders when it comes to utilizing resources, progressive ideas. and citizen welfare. Anambra state has increased salaries to workers even in the midst of recession, with increase in IGR.
Sullivan Chime- A bit sickly last I heard, but he is decent with respect to Nigerin standard. Enugu's best governor till date and probably the reason why the state is one of Nigeria's most habitable places.
The above candidates just need a decent Vice president and you get an infinitely better pair than what you currently have.

That is the probably the only way to start anything that resembles southern unity.
A Yoruba presidential candidate will never be accepted by the South as a test-run project for southern unity, and the fulanis up north will always checkmate you.
And Buhari himself is nothing close to world-class or ideal, so finding someone better in igboland shouldn't be that much of a big deal deal.

Tunami:
i like you for one thing, you say the truth sometimes. But this is this the question i have for you. If it was buhari and tinubu that were in this gathering will you criticise them as you did here? Cox i believe all of them are the same polithiefcians.

nah. He wouldn't .
He is an afonja suffering from a severe case of Stockholm syndrome.
Worshipping Buhari that is currently decimating Yoruba political relevance, though one of the best decisions buhari has taken.

buchilino:
WEN IT COMES 2 FUCKING AROUND, I AGREE, THEY'RE NUMBER ONE. BUT GUY SO MANY OF OUR GALS DON'T RESPECT DER HUSBANDS.

Disrespect is a general thing nowadays.
Have you heard of feminism?
But Feminism though is not an excuse for the man to be fuccking around like an animal and that is where Igbo men have the edge.
They respect the sanctity of marriage more .

Yeye People.
Sophisticated my foot.

buchilino:
GUY 4GET, DIS HAS NOTHING 2 DO WITH TRIBE. WE IGBOS MAYBE WORST.

Igbos are probably one of the best when it comes to marriage atleast in Nigeria.
Yoruba people don't know what marriage is, with their philandering men spreading their seed everywhere claiming ''Yoruba demon'', as if they are the only ones that see women.

MayorofLagos:
Isn't it true that Tinubu just displaced and dislodged the almighty PDP?

What were you looking in other parts of South to allow that to happen?

When has Yoruba ever campaigned for trust?

Tinubu did not displace anything. The north did.
He merely latched onto the opportunity.
Now that the north does not want to displace APC, how does he intend to override them?. With how many Yoruba votes?

MayorofLagos:
In democracy the party bloc is the voice of the people, it is tribal! The life of the voice is sustained through the management and evolution of the party.

The ruling government in a democracy is a surrogate of the party platform that got it elected. The government and its offices is therefore an outlet for the voice of the party, and by extension the people, to be heard.

Buhari was put in government by APC....he didn't get there on his own. His government must balance on one hand, the statutory call for independence, and on the other the evolutionary and continuity of the party....

He risks bringing his party APC to end of life prematurely if he neglects to understand the intrigues of partisan politics.

What is APC without TINUBU?

All the resources needed by APC to sustain and evolve is congregated in Tinubu.

Buhari has the decision but it is a good discretion of a leader to identify and acknowledge resource and minimize risks, otherwise he would keep making bad business judgement over and over. We already see evidence of bad business judgements from this government. They are distancing from resourceful input and acquiring risks.

Tinubu has proven time after time that he is transformative and sustainable, whether in majority or minority. He can displace and dislodge APC from ruling faster than any other person in Nigeria can.

Aso Rock should take note! Arewa Elders should take note!

Yoruba stand firmly behind TINUBU!

No, he cannot. That would mean tinubu has control over votes in other parts of the south and the middle-belt which he doesn't.
You are delusional. Nobody trusts your people, not even Buhari

Iceberg3:
as tho ur warped opinion matters anything.. As they wished for others,so shall it be unto them..the gallant nigerian army/air4ce even navy and mopol should kill them all...i say KILL THEM ALL..Kudos to the gallant soldier bois,send the bastards to their 70 virgins in waiting in aljanahjagbanjantis....
Gud job to the naija army,anybagga that constitutes a threat to national peace,blow his/her/its/their bloody brainwashed heads and brains up...sai baba.
anybody that gat a problem with that shud go to ozumba mbadiwe,lagoon de there..

That is why your army would always remain a third world incapable outfit that it is.
Which sensible nation would want to partner with such army?
You talk of national threats, but your army cannot stop real threats from powers like Egypt, algeria, Ethiopia and co. Your army is good at killing civilians but weak among its own peers.
Btw, Karma is Real. We would soon read about your own story at the hands of the army on nairaland, and everybody would brand you a threat to national peace that deserves what he got.

WTF happened here?

They are not even ashamed of admitting tinubu is their god-father and lord.
YES, we know he is, but atleast have respect for your citizens who voted for you instead of showing them openly that you all are serving at tinubu's pleasure.
Every region has god-fathers but only the SW displays theirs in full glare and without shame, no wonder oyegun is furious.

tdayof:
They have Russia surrounded but it's not as easy as it looks.

Russia has one of the strongest A2AD.
It's not about how many fighters you have. Russia obviously isn't sleeping.

Am not pro Russian. I'm just stating the obvious.

Ofcourse, I know that.
Russia's impressive air defences and their impressive nuclear armaments is the reason why they have not being invaded yet.
Even china cannot pull the shitt Russia has been pulling and get away with it.

Armaggedon:
But i hear they will soon resume talks

Russia has just rolled out s-400 systems in Syria and stationed their airforce permanently there. I doubt if there are going to be any talks after that.
The US has sworn to get Assad removed, unless Russia is already to backpedal there is nothing to be said.

Armaggedon:
this is not what you think. Nato member countries maintain different levels of relationship with Russia. Dont just think Nato will be all out in case of conflict. Again the global wave of global terror is not getting a deserved response from obama administration. So even though russia seems to have gone a little bit to far in aleppo, many still believe they are doing the right thing in syria. The current onslaught in alleppo was provoked by the death of syrian forces killed by us airstrike during ceasefire, fuelling speculation that US directly back the terrorists.

As for war, US is in political transition and nothing much can be done till a new administration comes.

The pentagon has war-gamed any potential invasion of Russia with and without NATO. And NATO involvement is needed as a direct proximity staging site for any invasion of Russian mainland The US has over 700 military bases and presence in most international waters on earth, so I am sure even without a joint NATO project, they have Russia as surrounded as possible.
Yes, Obama has not being forceful as I would like in dealing with global terror but saying the US sponsors terror is just[b] UNTRUE[/b]. Yes, the US may have made mistakes but never as a direct intention for terror.
Hilary Clinton will win and her foreign policy thrust is already clear, which is why the Kremlin is skirmish. They would rather prefer Trump.

Kelechi iheanacho or Alex Iwobi should get her digits, since the beautiful Igbo girls are marrying footballers nowadays.

Ojukkwufrank:
The accursed dingbat is pouring smelly spits as usual. You have no job but your scam activities online, you were exposed and truly have no shame. You will be caught soon and spend the rest of your pathetic life behind bars. Devilish being.

Nitwit with a subzero IQ.
Show me proof of your assertion, you ghoul.
Let me even humour your degraded intellect- Show me proof of where and what I was exposed for, shameless oluwole smear artist.
You are living in a poor country, surrounded by afonja fraudsters, and you are accusing someone infinitely well-off than you of fraud. That is how your ancestors and ethnic leaders smear upstanding characters from other parts of the country.
Despicable louts.
