Nigerians are better people than you imagine. The Abiola example is relevant because his death is an essential foundation stone for this democracy you are enjoying. When we see a good detribalised man the majority embraces him. Buhari, in winning the North Central and south west has shown he is broadly acceptable across religious and tribal lines. Lagos has igbo commissioner and party spokesman and has had igbo councillors, and commissioners from all across the western region. The heavens did not fall. People appreciated their performance in office. Watch for the next round of elections as the true strength of APC is revealed in the se and SS zones. (now that the police and army have to deal with a new reality).

We're on different pages. Comparing the politics of the 90s to what we have is Nigeria today is as disparate as trying to familiarise military and civilian rules in all ramifications.
I'll prefer it if you hammer home with something recent.

Puppet vs The Man..
The puppeteer decides.

This has some truth in it.
However, it wasn't achieved by the said 'Governors'.
There seemed to be a lethargy towards this years election which affected the turnout for both parties.

Yep! That's the 'Goodluck' about it.
He has graduated.

Hmmm.. Good move making peace.
But this is Nairaland.. One shouldn't mistake it for reality.

Supported.
The bloodshed will do us no good.
If only Tompolo and others can bear sacrificing their juicy contracts..

ayindejimmy:
Not with Buhari campaigning for Osinbajo.

Hehehehehe.. You seem very optimistic. Anyways, my comment was made from analysing the current political climate and preferences. If the scenario you stated is possible, we are yet to see it. So, it'll be a reference point in the future.

ayindejimmy:
you sound like the type that feels ..as long as its well with you the whole world can perish for all you care.
I'm comfortable too but I can't stand the pain and poverty I see on people's faces everyday. I always wush I can change their condition that is why I embraced #change

Am I that kind of person? Guess you need to inquire from Nairalanders who have lived with me long enough. As to this cause, call me the type of person who is very observant so as to recognize a lost cause from a distance but still gives my support and learns not to dwell too much on it when it eventually becomes a lost cause.
I didn't lose a thing so why should I be overtly bothered for lending credence to a lost cause?

MEN YOU ARE SO VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY STTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDD AND DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

PLSSS GO BACK AND RE-READ YOUR POST AND SEE HOW SO VERRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTUUUUUUUPPPIDDDDDD YOU ARE!!!!


BLOODYYY STUUUUUUPID NAIVEEEE FOOOOLLL! WHAT YOU GUYS DID TO US WILL SOON CLEAR IN YOUR EYES THEN YOU WILL START BLAMING THE HAUSAS AND YORUBAS WHO UNDERSTOOD THE "IMPORTANCE OF POLITICAL RELEVANCE" FOR YOUR SELF INFLICTED PROBLEMS!

Shhh.. Quiet. We never really stood a chance. I'm a statistician and this is what we do: Inference. Perhaps you are the naive one, and understandably so because you can't see beyond your nose. APC was democratically bound to succeed judging by the weight of their supporters. If ever PDP won, it is only possible through rigging, a feat that doesn't need my vote to work out.
So don't sit in your 'safe zone' and post trash about what I do to stay alive in my residential area. #EOD.

Change2015:
Facts are good. Abiola a yoruba beat Tofa, a Kano man, in the north and south. Go look it up!

I'm talking 21st century, you're backdating. Has it always been this way?

Beadex1:
this when politics is termed a dirty game..to me it is the most powerful fraternity in the world..embedded with secrets

Spot on.

Beadex1:
well that is another question... And i pray Mr president spills this out before leaving the office... I am very optimistic that he knows the source

Even if he knows, he can't say such. The strength of Nigerian politicians is the volume of secrets you know and how tight you keep them.

It was politically motivated if that is what you mean.
'By whom?' remains the question.

Battle with care.

WTF??
Come on, General.
Giving excuses is hardly what we expect from you, not after the pressure that was heaped on the President and certainly not after Boko Haram have been driven to the fringes of Nigeria.
Just do it.

Senseless rambling.

Cool.
Looking forward to election results in Imo, Rivers and Lagos states

The price of separation is quite expensive to pay

helinues:
I disagree with you on that. In reality, Hausa prefer Yoruba to Ibo, Yoruba prefer Hausa to Ibo, Ibo prefer Yoruba to Hausa. The question is will the Ibos work together to buid a new Nigeria?

Are you telling me that I prefer Hausa to Yorubas or that my people prefer Hausas to Yoruba?
You really need to see underneath the 'smiling' faces of that businessman to uncover the shrewd composition of his decision making factor. The issue Ibos have with Hausas is their religion. But ordinarily.. Forget every ties between the two.

I know the Ibos would do the best thing favourable to their kinsmen. And people make societies which form countries.

First, let me dedicate 'Thunder with six packs' to any id.iot who contravenes the stipulated SE/SS only.
Next, we must stick together politically and forget the SW. They are unreliable.
Finally, we must show solidarity to our own the same way the Northerners show solidarity to their own. Irrespective of whether we won or not, nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing you're always welcome at home, even as a reject outside. I loved how the igbos in Ojo, Festac and Ajegunle ensured they backed PDP. It speaks volumes about the unity underneath the 'mind your business' attitudes.

You get time o.
It really baffles me when people make a priority, 'usernames' with words and a photo as proof of existence.
Like seriously??

Love GEJ #NoHomo

helinues:
Sentiment apart, I am from South west, though never had any regret about the election results cos we support the cause we believe in. But what if Yoruba stand as a president and also Hausa present a candidate, who will Ibo support?

Ibos will support the party that fields their brother as a running mate which will most probably be a Northerner. The SE and SW hardly work in tandem.

IamZinah:
Main concern here is tuition, as am typing this, students in Czech Republic got their studies terminated. Even if there is provision for work, it can;t cater for Rent and Upkeep and also there wouldn't be enough time to study. Also in the UK they have just 20 hours per week working permit.

It's really difficult.

Please how can I get this to the FP

Try to modify your first post to contain enough information about your mission. Then quote names of moderators like lalasticlala, ishilove, Obinoscopy, e.t.c. Those are the few I know. They'll move it themselves. But your information should be quality.

It can't overshadow GMB's victory. GMB's rule is still the future while GEJ's actions are fast becoming past tense and what he'll be remembered with.
The only thing it showed is their difference in personality. While GEJ showed tolerance and willingness to accomodate, GMB lacks these, but these are of utmost importance in a democratic setting and must go with 'solid' decision making.

IamZinah:
Am in the UK, but I have friends under same scholarship in the US, Hungary, Canada and Czech Republic and haven't received allowance since November.

Okay. You should have included all these in your introductory post. Although you're less likely to get attention until May 29th, but there's no harm in trial.

Meanwhile, don't you have provisions to work over there yet? Or are you just concerned about the tuition?

None

I hereby invite MzJackBaueress and OREMUSSANCTUS here to kiss and make up or something like that.
They're currently at each other's usernames (throats) and the umpire (or peacemaker), omenka, is more of Maurice Iwu than Jega.
Perhaps they should just come in here and do their thing (whatever 'thing' means)

Employee of FG.

IamZinah:
Yes

In Czech Republic. And the government are supposed to be sending you money for tuition and upkeep every month but haven't done so since November?
