Tribalism

Dreal1247:
I DISAGREE WITH YOU.
NIGERIANS ARE A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE BEING LED BY LEADERS WHO HAVE PERFECTED THE PRINCIPLES OF DIVIDE AND RULE TO KEEP THEM DIVIDED,POOR AND UNFOCUSED.
THE STRENGTH OF NIGERIA LIES IN OUR DIVERSITIES.
ONCE A TRUE LEADER WHO LOVES THE PEOPLE EMERGES, ALL THE AGITATIONS WILL CEASE AUTOMATICALLY.

This one definitely need brain repairs

Put different animals in a sack and expect it to be still? You definitely don't know what you are thinking.
Nigeria is a state containing different nations, cultures and societies put together without firm discuss and agreements among the units and you expect to have peace? You have a problem.
Pls try and read history and compare other countries that have gone through this before to upgrade your knowledge

Thanks for listing it out, APC will surely deliver these projects after they win

kingthreat:
This is the way forward. Yoruba Politicians better realise that if they don't start helping their own and creating Yoruba competitions to Igbo businesses in Lagos, it will not spell well for them. A time will come Chukwudi Nwachukwu from Nnewi will contest for governorshipin Lagos and he will win and they best the Yorubas can do is rant and fight. Leaders better act now.

Which way forward?
Ibos want Biafra you refuse, Yoruba nation agitators wants a separate nation, you are castigating them yet you are crying Yoruba politicians

searchng4love:
85% of Yoruba markets must indeed return to the indigenous people of the region. Enough is enough of handouts but time for effective and efficient take over of our economic assets.... Yoruba nation must wake up within the comity of nations in the Nigerian State.

This post absolutely make no sense, you want to keep Nigeria yet you are comparing Yoruba section of Nigeria to comity of nations

One nigerianders are fools

I hope the op will drop the hypocrisy that affect many Yoruba. You and your leaders are claiming one Nigeria yet you refuse to accept the package that comes with it.
In Nigeria,every citizen have rights to live anywhere and vote or be voted for anywhere, even if it's the strategy to take over your land.
Call your politicians and obas to order, tell them to reject Nigeria in it's totality then you can have peace of mind that your land will not be taken over

If not, you will only have to envy Serbia over Kosovo

BluntCrazeMan:
Suggestions for Constitution Amendment/ Restructuring.


1. One Tenure of Six Years.

2a. One President with Six Vice-Presidents; one from each socio-political zones...

(2b. One Governor with Three Deputy-Governors; one from each Supposed Senatorial District)

3. Do away with the House of Senate.., but retain only the better-restructured House of Representatives...

This is the only option apart from breakup.
Let everyone govern themselves and only have external and monetary policy binding us together

HONESTFACT101:
Well I've said this before why must Nigeria copy the white mans democracy
Is our country not sovereign enough to create its own system of government ^{......signing out✈}

Try and read history, it's white man that gave you the country so you must copy white man's democracy

Why are you so infatuated with Yoruba land, are you an animal?

Which SAN say so? I can't believe I opened this rubbish post

They absconded with their seats in house of assembly, to where?

duro4chang:
Yoruba votes = LP, PDP and APC

To an Igbo man, my thing, na my thing, but
your thing na our thing.

Exactly how women behave, no wonder Nigeria give them in the back all the time

thebosstrevor1:
When Buhari was in power, Buhari and the fulanis were the scape goat of his 8 years in office, these literally led to a phobia of fulanis all over Nigeria.

Now that Bola Ahmed has won the presidency, Tinubu and the yorubas will be the next scape goat, it might not be to the level of what the fulanis received, but they will be blamed for every thing that will happen in his presidency.

If time is not taken, there could be a tribal war between 2 major tribes ( igbos and yorubas), the foundation of this war is already being laid on Twitter.

Foolish post
Like Ijaw people were scapegoats during Jonathan era. Abi this one no get sense

raumdeuter:
POL 501 Tinubu masterclass (Sparsky vs Fisher 1972)
To followers of Chess, The game between Sparsky and Fisher in 1972 was dubbed the game of the century

I will use some Chess analogies to describe this historic victory of Asiwaju Tinubu

The Tinubu masterclass


Opening move decided to go a conservative Sicilian opening

In 1999 he won Lagos State governor

In 2003 when OBJ deceived all SW governors and the AD to not float their candidate that they should support him and in turn he will ensure they retain their seat, Tinubu disagreed with AD leaders on that arrangement. tsunami swept all AD governors only Tinubu survived

Queens gambit declined

He left AD, formed his own party AC and he was the only governor
By 2007 to grow the party he reached out to Oshiomole offered him the AC ticket in Edo vs Prof Osunbor. Oshiomole lost
Atiku and OBJ got into a fight a major fight, Atiku was in charge of PDM he was the strongest Northern politician and as the heir to Yar Adua, OBJ used YarAdua younger brother Umaru to break Atikus hold on PDM
Tinubu saw an opportunity to woo a powerful politician and get on his good side, he gave Atiku a platform to contest the 2007 election obviously Atiku had no path to win. He made Ben Obi Atikus vice. They lost but Tinubus profile started rising
Short side castling

He sponsored candidates in AC all over Nigeria. He brought many politicians treated badly and denied a ticket into his fold e.g Ngige Akume
He brought Fashola a technocrat as governor but didn't hand over the political keys to him
Fasholas performance became the standard for ACN to campaign and win many hearts across the nation
Knight advance

Below is the critical part of the game which would have effect in the future

The criminal elections of 2007 conducted by Obasanjo which was reputed to be the worst election in Nigerian history handed Tinubu a huge opportunity
He found an ally in Justice Salami of the appeal court who was instrumental in restoring the Oshiomole and Fayemi and Aregbesola into power
AC grew into 4 states.
Open file Bishop

Mimiko of Labour Party who was denied the ticket was also in tribunal vs Agagu. Tinubu approached him to provide logistic support with belief that Mimiko will decamp into ACN. Mimiko won but declined to join ACN

By 2011 Tinubu spread beyond the SW approached strong politicians who were denied a ticket or chased out of strong parties but knew he couldn't take on the FG alone at this time. He was the 3rd force in 2011

Mid game starts with slight positional disadvantage

Buhari controlled all Northern states with his new CPC, Jonathan and PDP controlled most SE NC and SS states
CPC and PDP were stalemate here comes tie breaker Tinubu.
Buhari in his idealistic thinking felt he could do by picking Bakare a Pastor with zero structures. He didn't agree to Tinubus terms.
GEJ saw the opportunity approached Tinubu who tactically floated a dummy Ribadu and Fola Adeola(2 moslems who had zero political structures and were barely politicians) he knew weren't going anywhere. Tinubu stepped down all ACN machinery in the SW and allowed the PDP a free ride.
Now he has become a major power broker who tactically made Jonathan president without appearing to.
Knight fork

After winning in 2011, Jonathan started some aggressive moves to break Tinubu so he won't have to beg everytime. One of such moves was to make a SW Mulikat Adeola Speaker, Jonathan thinking was to raise a powerful SW politician that will be an alternative to Tinubu.
Tinubu knew this was an act of aggression on their gentleman handshake and he mobilized the ACN reps to reject Mulikat and support Tambuwal,
Counterplay sacrificed pawn to gain positional advantage

Buhari lost 2011 again and started crying on TV and was hopeless. As a man of strategy Tinubu knew Buhari was at his low and vulnerable point, he approached Buhari this time Bubu was more than willing
Tinubu started the cleanup of Buhari's image from a clueless out of touch military religious extremist guy to this misunderstood charming, introvert, gap toothed, strong man that Nigeria needed at this critical time to get rid of corruption and PDP indiscipline
This chess player goes into deep analysis and thinking

Thus APC was birthed with the plan to use Buhari's popularity with Tinubu's money and skilled politicking to push Buhari into power but this time Tinubu was to pick Buhari's vice.
APC also won over Atiku after he lost out in PDP and breakaway PDP governors. Atiku came into the convention ground hoping to buy the ticket as usual
Buhari has never done any real competitive primary in a party everyone didn't worship him. Primary ground, Buhari was stunned about how Atiku was about to steal the ticket right there with money . Until Tinubu matched Atiku dollar for dollar and Buhari won the ticket
Middle game management used knight to fend off offensive

This is where the game starts getting interesting..
Now the deal was for Tinubu ACN to provide the Vice.
Tinubu knew he was interested in succeeding Buhari. And giving a strong vice would build up the Vice politically over 8yrs and might build enough goodwill to succeed Buhari
This was Tinubu's biggest masterstroke. He gave Buhari an Osinbajo who was smart but has the political clout of a 13yr old girl. Osinbajo was a very safe choice, he was not popular nor charismatic enough to gather the clout to state Jagaban in the face
There were other options like Fashola and Fayemi but they were risky and could get ambitious and endear themselves to people
Buhari asked Tinubu for 3 choices, Tinubu returned with one choice an unknown Yemi Osinbajo who will complete 8yrs and have less to nothing in political power to challenge for the seat
Queen advance

Buhari won election and Tinubu is in a good position Nationally acknowledged as the brain behind the success, thus issues started cropping up, fissures grew in the hurriedly assembled APC. Saraki wanted more than he was offered and broke the party, Buharis packaging has now begun to fall off, the makeup was beginning to melt and the man behind the mascara was beginning to show and its not pretty, Tinubu was schemed out by Buharis CPC friends including Abba Kyari and ElRufai, Things were not going to plan
Should he pull out of the APC, blurt out or maintain status quo and reach out to enemies
The Queen beat a tactical retreat

Throughout Buharis regime, many party internal issues came up, Buhari stayed aloof, Osinbajo stayed on the fence but Tinubu dove head on into the murky waters, aggressively supporting his men, He got bruised in many places like Ekiti, Ondo, Edo, Kano, Oyo but he stuck to his men and was even rumored to be schemed out
Officer exchange, Sac Bishop for Knight

Comes 2022, Tinubu has broken into the ranks of governors in his party and showing loyalty to them in times of trials won him a lot of die hard loyalists like Oshiomole and Ganduje who will lay their lives for him
By now Tinubu had taken control of all the APC structures and wanted the party to go for a direct primary, Some felt there was no way they could match the network of Tinubu in a direct primary and pushed for indirect where only chosen delegates voted
Tinubu called upon his network of Governors and allies when Buhari wanted to anoint Lawan, they stood up and insisted it goes to the South. He won the primary
Rook to center, End game starts with significant positional advantage

Opposition started panicking, the were split into multiple factions Obi, Kwankwanso G5 and Atiku. Tinubu though weakened by many of the policies under Buhari including Cash swap, fuel scarcity, general insecurity, failing health, etc. His generals stood behind him like Allied forces stood behind General Eisenhower in the battle of Normandy in the final offensive against Nazi Germany. When the boats were rocking his Northern governors came out forcefully, He then found an invaluable ally in the G5 and Wike who was aggrieved from PDP and swore to neutralize Atiku everywhere. Late hour Wike declared for Tinubu, neutralizing an important state for Obi and Atiku
Rook moves to the 7th rank

Elections are conducted Tinubu leading and appears ready to make his checkmate move on May 29 when he is expected to be sworn in as Commander in Chief


You can see it was a gradual ascension filled with scheming which he lost some but won many
This man called Jagaban who many people do not like but smart people deeply respect
He understands politics. He is smart enough not to fight anyone dirty thus always leaving the room for reconciliation open, the power of compromise give & take, persuasion and when to use the power of money

Most times those who fight Tinubu can only do it on the pages of paper By the time you meet him, His humor, his slow thick voice, his offer he will give you, You most likely will leave him calm and ready to compromise

This write up is instructive, but I will say where he offered ribadu and adeola is positional sacrifice, you know, rook takes on c6 in Sicilian nadjorf

OdogwuMoney6:
Mine

dollar = N1,500
Fuel = N700 per litre
Bag of rice = N70k-N80k
Cement = N10,000
Local flight = N180k-200k
Price of bread = 1500-2000

Come back and quote me after four years if he eventually is sworn in.

Share your

You forgot to add, average monthly income = N1,500,000 to N2,000,000

You don't need to call him oloriburuku, he's only doing what his grandies had planned from zik to ironsi to ojukwu.
You only need to talk to awon omo ale like falz and macaroni to get brains

EmekaMD:
You must be delusional if you still believe Tinubu stands any chance as at now..

Where ia he gonna get the votes from?

Don't be deceived because he is leading now, that's because most of all his strongholds have been called already and he didn't do so well even with all the riggings.

Lets analyse

1. In Lagos as it stands now, Obi would likely win Lagos
2. Osun has been won by Atiku
3. Kano has been won by Kwankwaso
4. Kastina has been won by Atiku
5. Most of the Southwest states have all been called.
6. Kaduna is now obviously gonna be shared between Obi and Atiku

So tell me where Tinubu is expecting the magic to come from?

Tinubu is out of the race


Now you wonder why the APC camp is so quiet? Even FFK the Food prefect that never stops talking

You obviously don't know anything about Nigerian politics.
Tinubu has crossed 25% in 24 states and leading in overall population by voters. What more chances do you need

Shebi your father is useless, don't worry when you start having children and see what your father saw then you will be a useless father with useless children like you.

I wanted to curse the op for putting yoruba nation youths, but i keep my cool for another day. Yoruba nation can never support nigeria not to talk of peter obi. the op is a fool

Obi does not have any governor, any senator and only one or two house of reps, how does he want to win.

In virtual election

Vote4Obi:
If you're supporting APC or its flag bearer in this coming election, just have it in mind you're bringing curse to yourself and generations yet unborn. This includes all those that are supporting because they were paid to do so. Those supporting because Tinubu is from their region/tribe. Those supporting because they hope to be personally rewarded at the expense of hundreds of millions.

1. You know within you that Tinubu is not mentally and physically fit to rule Nigeria.

2. You know that APC has failed in all ramifications and deserve to be booted out just like PDP was booted out in 2015.

If despite all these, you choose to support or end up voting for Tinubu, then you will only succeed in bringing curse to your generation and those yet unborn.

You have zero reason to support Tinubu.
You have zero reason to vote for APC.
God won't forgive you!

You are a cursed person for bringing God into politics of a country that God did not have anything to do with

Can someone remind us when the different nationalities in Nigeria came together to agree to living as one nation?
Which year and on what condition?

TheChameleon:
Mynd44. You can understand what Tinubu actually said.

You guys with Seun should sanitize this forum.

Delete the thread and ban the OP for 10 years.

At least he will have more time to cry during the 8 years of Tinubu's Presidency.

I support this.
Do you know the number of people that stopped using nairaland because of the foolishness that goes on unchecked
