TheCabal: Only Rochas and Uzor Oji Kalu can stand a chance.
Both are well traveled and speak hausa fluently (if any spoke descent Yoruba.. even better). It would be easy to sit among northerners (muslim or christian) and feel among.
If Chuba Okadigbo had been alive. He would have my vote. Any bloody eastern who is not "cosmopolitan" can never be president.
Joe Ibokwe is trusted, he will proly make minister in 2019 but I don't see the presidency for him.
PS: I was told APC has 1 million registered voters in Anambra State as of last month, will update when I confirm
Yeah. Any caged easterner who has not travelled round the diversity of the nation cannot be a president.
ItsMeAboki: Not even him because he was complicit in the recent sit at home order and was involved in the discriminatory tribal profiling of northerners during GEJ's time; it seems he too is a bigot in the closet.
So you have no candidate in a noteshell. What of Onu the current minister of science and technology ?
DunceNLMods: This is tribalistic and partisan. All opinions count. The 12 million who voted against him are Nigerians with full rights. Law is not necessary. There is due process. State his health status then we take it ftom there. If that means Buhari resigning so be it He is very sick. Are you more concerned with Buhari's power than his health?
Do you love Buhari more than himself? The opinion of opposition will not matter except he is incapacitated.
Opposition will want him out even if he is 100% healthy.
DunceNLMods: Yaradua had stroke and was unconscious and people hid the truth.
Put aside power for once ehn. Abeg fear God. in 2019 don't bring Buhari bring a YOUNG healthy Northerner. So Northern people wont say Soitherners are killing their president.
BTW he does not have to be incapacitated. A terminal sickness like cancer or heart attack would be enough to render him medically unfit.
I am not interested in argument pls. Yar'adua was declared incapacitated when it is clear he is.
But Buhari is not incapacitated and cannot be impeached.
DunceNLMods: No, the doctor can say the status to the relatives who have a right to know. If he is the President we have to know his sickness.
If he can work and speak what is he staying in London for? Someone than nearly fell from breeze after landing in Nigeria in April.
No Sir. They cannot tell his relative without permission except in a case where he is unconscious and needed to be operated or so. Then his next of kin can give the go ahead 4 such operation.
baby124: Hippocratic oath applies to his Dr. Yea! But it does not apply to Buhari who is the president of Nigeria. He is to reveal to us what is going on. The country cannot continue with an acting president whose powers are restricted by an ailing president. He either come back and resume his job, or he tells us what is going on and resign.
I am not demanding for your opinion. But I am giving you assurance. No law can compel him to state his health condition, the highest he can tell u is "I am sick the acting president can rule"
Being sick is not equals to resigning
Being incapacitated is equal to impeachment not resigning bcux an incapacitated person cannot even resign.
15 million people voted him while 12 against him. Some people opinion cannot count.
DunceNLMods: This is silly and deceptive. He obviously cannot be deemed incapacitated if no one knows his health status which I SUSPECT has to do with blood cancer. We do have the right to know if he is incapacitated.
Stop lying. Honor the God you claim to serve for once. The God you say you will meet and be judged by when you die. Tell the truth.
Do you know the stage of being incapacitated as a president? Even if he is governing in a wheelchair he won't be declared as incapacitated.
Let me give u example of incapacitation. E.g paralysis, mental depression and disorder.
baby124: We have a right to know what illness he has. Buhari is no longer his family's property. He is Nigeria's property now as the president of the country. When we know what is wrong then we can decide if he needs to resign or be a ghost worker.
I am telling the rule. The only person that knows his medical condition is the very doctor that treated him.
Not even a colleague doctor can know his health except in a condition necessary 4 treatment.
The only person who can disclosed a patient health status, is the patient himself. This is the law worldwide. Hippocratic Oath Of Medicine
He can only be impeached if found incapacitated and we are not at that point. The man walk and speak.
baby124: We have the right to know and demand his resignation if they refuse to let us know. After all it is our money they are using to treat him in London. A lot of money too.
You have no right to know his health problem (diseases). You only have the right to:
1. Know he is sick and on medical vacation.
2. Demand his resignation if he is certified incapacitated by his federal executive council, personal physician and national assembly.
baby124: One thing you should have learnt from the MKO saga is that anyone can win an election in Nigeria! Even Buhari showed it. You just have to do a lot of ground work, focus on the issues and resist being drawn into tribal warfare!
It is true. Look at how Buhari did his campaign.
Watch his last campaign statement video. Even if you hate him, it will make u have a rethink.
"My experience have shown there is no Muslim Nigeria no Christian Nigeria, no northern Nigeria no Southern Nigeria. There is only one Nigeria ... "
"Being the leader at the time (military rule) I take responsibilities of those mistake and state again that before you is a converted Democrat who has submitted too and will continue to submit himself to a true Democratic process"
If they can keep the agitation, shun lies, shun hatred, shun propaganda. Embrace peace. Show oneness and apologizes for their past actions and words. I think they can get it but you know what? An Igbo man from Anambra is still fighting an Igbo man from Enugu or Ebonyi. No unity.
deedeedee1: i dont expect nigeria to live beyond 2019. And if it does, it will still be a matter of time before reality hit us. Like i said before, i will never vote an igbo as president. Better fight for biafra. Else, you are deceiving yourself. Igbo man can never become president of nigeria. It is just the truth. You should appreciate at least me for supporting biafra. There are many nigerians who wont support biafra, and also not support igbos presidency....which is bad. If you think igbo will rule nigeria, then try bring forth an igbo to run and let us see if he will win the west talkless of the north. Anyways, biafra is your hope. Fight for it.
Kyase: Arewa boys should take it easy haba their blood too dey hot, sha na TM work
Ojukwu boys ma no dey hear, una too stuborn, sha na ibo work.
Awolowo boy, hmm una own worst pass, stop the dey cause fight between Arewa boys and ojukwu boys, I know wetin una dey smoke sha.
Adaka boro boys, well what can i say, continue the bombing, but i no wan hear climate change or environmetal issue. I know say una the combine both ibo and TM that na why.
Middle belt boys, as we no get leader na, our own don finish, fulanis go use us to suya, i sorry for us pass. Gravas OZAOEKPE NairalandHowTo Tahrah sheddy411
Hahaha . Dino Malaye is north central leader. I used north central bcux 2 me middle belt don't exist to me.
Oxalic: @Ochejoseph. There are certain critical issues that are involved in the agitation by Igbos. The very first reason, as you have stated already, is the theory of 97% and 5%. This was a very unfortunate statement. Buhari shouldn't have made such a comment. The second reason, which again you have stated, is the silence of the FG over the murderous and criminal activities of Fulani herdsmen. As you have rightly pointed out in your write up, Igbos are not the only group involve in the agitation. The Middle Belt, Niger Delta and South West, are all clamouring for secession or restructuring as the case may be. The main issue is the right to life.
Let's not lie to ourselves. You're just giving yourself unnecessary excuses, what hit up this Biafra agitation was not and will never be Buhari statement about 5% and 97%.
The Igbo shows this hatred on social media b4 the statement, infact even worst before he become the president.
NubiLove: Igbos have to come up with a candidate that is capable of winning the north central and south west for that to happen... an Igbo candidate can NEVER win votes in the north west and north east.
Only Rocha's can get northern vote with Buhari support.
Going by the way they create walls instead of bridges. The only Igbo man a northerner can vote for is Rochas Okorocha with Buhari support. Because Rochas shows love for other region and shun the music of propaganda of marginalization, northernization or Islamization.
obiech: East and west They north are everly meant 2 b parasite...always have nothing 2 contribute
Jx imagine if nairaland was only filled with people from the north.........imagine how dead it would b by now... .with about two third of the comments having grammatic errors
The crap you typed above is both orthographically and grammatically a boo-boo.
It amuse me when an empty-headed ignorant arrogates that, being a southerners is an attestation of having a doctorate degree in English language or rather a certification of being educated.
Well I cannot diatribe you considering what the biased southern media have ill fed and brainwashed you with.
But take a relook of the rubbish you just type: Only then you will visualize you're nothing but more worst than product of pidgin English.
