[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=648416.msg8145688#msg8145688 date=1303024190]sorry Acn will soon produce the vice-president and the senate president and as for ibo,nothing for y'all.[/quote]I hope you choke on those words. Let me make sure I save this statement of yours.

So Igbos are not united?

Foolish tribalist. . .

So ACN has this much power over a people?

That the people would allow them to look the other way as PDP supposedly rigs. Wonders never amaze me. . .

[quote author=onye_ngbu* link=topic=648446.msg8145557#msg8145557 date=1303020794]Since yesterday when it has become obvious to many that igbo unity behind GEJ is becoming a reality, some of the notoriously bigoted nairalanders have been opening threads accusing igbos of bigotry.
It is obvious now that this election has shown everyone that igbo unity can be unrivaled whenever they really want to.

The question now is, is it fair to term igbo support for GEJ bigotry rather than unity?
Another one, is not obvious also that large number of igbo population in the sw and north is the main thing swinging this iminent victory to GEJ.
Again shouldnt this election be a lesson to anyone hoping to rule nigeria that igbos shouldnt be ignored especially now that it seems votes really count and we got the number.

Should we not all learn from this election rather create further divisions that is doing us no good.[/quote]Di njikere maka echi.

And that Kobojunkie harlot continues to be a big fool. She never sees anything good in the East and ridicules the Ndigbo specifically. I despise her and her kind.

Dumb arse woman.

Of course they did. The North has always voted along regional and religious lines ever since Nigeria gained its independence.

real4life:
Quite frankly this makes no sense to me

She never makes sense. Sometimes it is best to ignore her. She is notorious for her circular arguments.

^^^

The old East is dead. You can't say the SE vote was tribalistic, because Jonathan is an Ijaw, not an Igbo.

Alj Uche:
@bold

u are contradicting yourself

the must detribalised people in nigeria as of today are the SW and NE people

that is a fact

The poster of the comment made a lot of sense. And he is correct. \

If you don't agree, then attack his point instead of regurgitating the same garbage we have been hearing today.

real4life:
Has Jonathan won? This is news to me.

There were only two candidates that had any chance to win this election: Ijaw Goodluck and Hausa Buhari. Yorubas had a choice to make between these two.

The majority of them voted for Jonathan but many also voted Buhari. Fair game. But believe me if a son of theirs whom they LOVE was participating, 100% of them would have voted for him.

Jonathan will get some Hausa votes but Buhari may not get a single Ijaw vote. Big deal. If Buhari was the incumbent president it would be the other way round.

Bottom line; no tribe should claim to be less tribal than others based on this election.

Gbam!

Welcome home President Jonathan!

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=648416.msg8145304#msg8145304 date=1303014792]In similarities. . . .  would you say the northerners are similar to Yorubas than the Ijaws? Do Yorubas even SEE the Ijaws in political matters.

When it comes to tribal politics, you'd see Yorubas/Northerners either head vs head or head with head. It's those two groups. So one would have expected the Yorubas to feel more affiliated with Buhari.

Oh plzzzz. . . .  dont bring the Igbos into this discussion. I dont want my thread littered with unnecessary sentiments.[/quote]The Yoruba have never been united with the North unless you are talking about the Nigerian Civil War. That is the only time.

Yorubas have always been in the opposition.

Why do you think it took so long for a Yoruba to be president. Where were Northerners when Abiola's election became annulled?

Can you show me where the North and the Yoruba have ever been united? I can tell you when the Igbos have been united with the North though. . .

I remember a time, when people would say that the SE and the SS would never unite politically. But it would seem that the SE has been able to bury old animosities and get behind a minority from the Niger Delta.

The Ndigbo should be commended for supporting an Ijaw man. Especially, when the Igbo and the Ijaw have not seen eye to eye in the past. This is one small step in healing the old wounds that existed between these two great people.

And I see a brighter future for the Niger Delta and Nigeria in general.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=648416.msg8145290#msg8145290 date=1303014403]I'd say, as a muslim and a Northerner, Buhari was more similar to the Yorubas than GEJ (who is a minority, whose militants have disturbed Ondo state just months before this election). . . .yet the SW nation still voted for GEJ in large numbers.

If this was a tribalistic call, the SW nation would have voted for Buhari/Ribadu than for GEJ.

On FB, a Yoruba woman (NLer) asked ppl to vote for BB, the same Yoruba people told her off. "GEJ for change" "GEJ for anti-corruption" "GEJ for the Youth". This is not a tribaslistic call. This is our call for change.

Let me be real, I didnt want GEJ. But since I dont live in Nigeria to think my opinion matters to ppl that live there live, then I have to give in and say the majority opinion rules.[/quote]How is Buhari/Ribadu similar to the Yoruba? In religion yes partly, but that is about it.

The North has never been aligned with the SW in politics.

I don't know why the Yoruba should be congratulated over other Southern groups.

Why do people expect Igbos to support an Ijaw? Since many Igbos see Ijaws as saboteurs of Biafra. Igbos being able to unite and support a minority, is something that should be commended as well. Or is Goodluck Jonathan Igbo now?

If Dele Momodu is your example, a man who could not win in his own area, then your statement is non-started like usual.

The question we should be asking ourselves is would the SW have voted for GEJ if there was a Yoruba who was running president for a MAJOR party.

As sjeezy rightfully said, GEJ would have no chance if a Yoruba was running for president.

Either way, I am happy that the SW made the right choice.

No, GEJ would not have won without support from the SW.

No matter what people are saying on NL, there is a North vs. South dichotomy.

And the same would go if GEJ did not get the SE votes.

^^^

Yes, blame the Igbo. That train is never late.

Kobojunkie:
I already told you to spare me the bubble-headed retorts!

And I already told you to get a life.

Now stop crying and get over it.

Kobojunkie:
If Jonathan wins outright, it will go down this election that the Ibos/South Easterner are the most ethnically bigoted group in Nigeria.   

By voting for a non-Igbo? Try again. . .

I always knew you were a tribalist.

^^^

No what forget what I previously said.

Igbos believe that every man and woman is a king and queen. So get over it.

^^^

Mehn stop acting so womanly. Your feelings are hurt. 

Grow some balls!

Another Bomb Blast in Kaduna Kills Two, Injures Others

Kaduna – Two people were killed while several others were injured following a bomb blast at Kabala West in Kaduna metropolis on Saturday.

The incident, which took place at Jimmy Hotel, occurred around 7p.m.

The Kaduna Police Command, according its Deputy Commissioner, Ekeh Nwodibo, said it had arrested one person who was alleged to have planted the bomb.

He said the police had cordoned off the hotel while bomb experts had been deployed to secure the area.

Nwodibo also said movement in and around the area had been curtailed while the injured persons were rushed to the hospital.

The Director of the State Security Service, Mr Abayomi Zamba, also confirmed the incident in a telephone interview, saying two persons were killed while one was arrested.

Zamba said the security agencies were on top of the situation and appealed to people in the state to be calm.

It would be recalled that a similar incident occurred at Mando, a suburb of Kaduna on April 7. (NAN)

Alj Uche:
and what has rwanda got to do with this

do u know that most northerners risk there lifes to save southerners in riots both in the south and north

i bet u do not know that

The same goes for the Moderate Hutu who were murdered in cold blood by Hutu extremist, because they were saw as Tutsi sympathizers.

Like I said, it only takes a few.

Eddy Murphy couldn't have done better.

You all are a good people though. . . 

Nice owambes and you all enjoy life. There is nothing wrong with that.

Stop harassing young women. A real man doesn't do that.

Aigbofa:
If all Yorubas are these poor,lazy people, haven't you ever wonder how they get money to throw these big parties and marry more women?

We all know they borrow the money either from an Igbo or one of their family members in the diaspora.

SEFAGO:
The differences in average income (if any at all) are not large enough to suggest that "the igbos are collectively wealthier."  Infact where is the data again that claims such crap- link me to the thread, because I am sure thats where you got the ifno from- let me check the methodology for data collection.

Go to the National Bureau of Statistics and you will get the information that you desire. I prefer dealing with numbers, not Nairaland threads. At least you all can be proud that you all have more wealth than the North. However, Yoruba can learn a lot from the Igbo about spreading the wealth. You will never see an Igbo begging in the East.

It wasn't fair, because look at how young Northerners were voting. Something needs to be done about that situation.
