Your women are all over the north doing prostitution to afford a plate of rice and bleaching creams

If your in Abuja, come to wuse zone 1 let me show you apartments full of nyamuri women doing ashawo and escorts in the name of they came for studies

WorldRichest:
This is the nonsense that Goatluck Jonathan caused. If not for the Almajari schools that Goatluck established, this poster will be on the streets of Southern Nigeria begging by the roadsides like his brethren

Biafra was an unqualified evil in minority lands. They just plundered the place, raping men and women. They looked down on us. We were nothing to them. Many of them still look down on us today… otherwise, how do you explain this so-called map of the new Biafra that still includes minority lands? Who told them the Isokos want to be in Biafra? Have they asked your people?

They imposed Biafra on minorities. The Ibos were thus engaged in two wars – fighting against big-time Nigeria and fighting against small-time minorities. The minorities were massacred by the Biafrans. A place in Sagbama in Ijaw land even has a festival celebrating the fact that they survived Biafra, and there are few other places like that in minority lands.”

Biafra soldiers also invaded kalabari, they raped their women killed several chiefs and started chasing them out of their own land while bringing their people their people to come and reposses people's properties.

They said that the oil belongs to them. All these while, their men were fighting along with them. Kalabaris were staved, killed, beaten etc all because they decided to join d biafrans. Till today,June 21st of every year has been set aside as a remembrance day for what they went thru. They call it "Go to Niger"

these are just few atrocities Ibos committed against the Niger Deltans. Stop trying to spin it around and pin it on northern Muslims for your selfish political survivor

What do you think about this

Walahi baka ma san mai kake fada ba! Ba mamaki Kai arnan Arewa ne ko kuma PDP card carrying member!

Arewa mu zabe PDP!! Tir! Allah ya kiyaye. Bamu zabe Atiku ba, sai wani arne GEJ!

Bauchi can vote for GEJ for all I care, but definitely not the core north. PDP sun gama mulki a Nigeria In Sha Allah

Bala Muhammad yana maku aiki a Bauchi ne?

Malam, left to me zan zabe Jonathan a 2027 elections over Tinubu. If Bala Muhammed(Bauchi Governor) should decide to contest with Jonathan as his VP knowing he will take over in 2031 that's a great arraignment for the PDP.

We(northerners) can vote for good leaders irrespective of tribes, but definitely not Peter Obi! Obi is not an option and will never be!

You can't sell us fraud and try to blackmail by playing tribal card. If you were serious, you could have given us Umeh, Okorocha, sullivan etc

You want us to vote a candidate that made elections a religious war?

I asked one of my female colleagues from Anambra state, why is it before PO came out for presidency, there has not been 1 person that commended him as gov? Every comment I came across SM were negative? She started stammering and trying to find foolish excuses, I had to just cut the conversation short!

You want to white-wash him and make him a saint and you expect us just to role with it because SE/Ibo said so!

tomorrow if Ikpeazu decides to contest for presidency, Ibo will eulogize him and make him the best thing since sliced bread

mrvitalis:
That's Nigeria's problem... What Nigerians are facing is nothing compared to what we igbos have faced

When una ready u would all vote for good leader irrespective of tribe

His not a northerner, no core northerner will say this nonsense!

wegevv:
Northerners can be funny sha. After supporting the incompetent Buhari for 8 full years you now want to brand PBAT’s administration a failure after one month lol. You’re now proposing bringing back GEJ who no get mind to stand up to the northern cabal like Tinubu or Obi can.

I supported Obi during the election but I’ll fully support Tinubu over any Northern leader in a similar mould to the incompetent Buhari or any southerner who would be a stooge to the northern cabal.

Nigeria needs independent minded, pro-growth and business leaders after the last 8 years of illiberal non-progressive nepotism

Wanga maganan da kakai akan gwanda GEJ ba tsari da tunani kwatawata!!

Lokacin GEJ, 90% mulkin sa en kudu ne(nyamurai da Niger delta), wana ya ba Arewa kuma duk arna ne. Kaje ka bincika

Yanzu en Arewa muna da 11 da cikin 23 wanda Tinubu yar appointmenting! Mai kuma kake so?

Ba yarda zamu bar musulmi mu zabe arne walahi

Errrm... I am from Kano state... to be precise I am from Dala Local government in Kano Municipal...... Attack me constructively please.

God forbid! Allah ya kiyaye.. Your either Ibo or northern Christian quote, don't be shy habibi!

astana1:
To a certain extent, I am receptive to this as a Northerner. Having endured Buhari and now Tinubu, I believe Nigerians are ready to give Jonathan another chance at the presidency once he has hopefully learned from his time in office (2011-2015).

Another Ibo attach by force, are you guys suffering from inferiority complex or what? because I don't understand this desperation!!

90% of GEJ appointments were Niger Deltan and Ibo, so thanks for your advice but we don't need it%

for your information, 11 out of 23 appointments so far are northerners

You are either Ibo or northern Christian, no core northerner will say this nonsense

rano1:
Goodluck Jonathan should be supported by the North in 2027 election so that he can complete his tenure for the presidency, complete the presidency being in the south for 8 years and give Ibo people(given his lineage) and the wider South-South a sense of belonging. If PDP want to get back into power, Jonathan is their best bet in 2027(One-term candidate!!)

I based this argument on the following reasons: As a Northerner, I cannot support Peter Obi as I feel he is too clannish for me to support given his previous antecedents in the 2023 elections. Secondly, I believe Nigerians will be fed up with the Tinubu administration as the cost of living increases over time. Furthermore, I believe the following reasons will be to Goodluck's advantage:

Experience and Stability: Goodluck Jonathan has previously served as the President of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015, providing him with valuable experience in governance and leadership. By electing him for a second term in 2027, the country can benefit from his knowledge and stability, allowing for continued progress and development.

National Unity: One of the key goals of any democratic nation is to promote national unity and inclusivity. By having Goodluck Jonathan as president, it can help bridge the gap between different ethnic groups and religions, including the Igbo people (who feel marginalised). This sense of belonging and representation can contribute to a more cohesive and harmonious society. So many people are not happy with the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC.

Economic Growth: Goodluck Jonathan's previous tenure saw some positive economic growth, with Nigeria experiencing an average GDP growth rate of over 6% per year during his presidency. By giving him another opportunity to lead, it is possible that he can build on his previous achievements and further stimulate the economy, benefiting all Nigerians.

Political Stability: Transitioning power smoothly is crucial for political stability. By allowing Goodluck Jonathan to complete his tenure, it demonstrates a commitment to democratic principles and upholding the rule of law. This can inspire confidence in the political system and contribute to a more stable environment for future leaders to assume office. It will also increase the sense of belonging of the SS and the SE

A Balanced Power Distribution: By having the North take over the presidency in 2031 after Goodluck Jonathan's tenure, it allows for a fair and balanced distribution of power among different regions of the country. This rotation of power can help address concerns of marginalization and ensure that diverse perspectives and interests are represented at the national level.

A changed man: Goodluck Jonathan's previous tenure as president has provided him with valuable insights and lessons, allowing him to enhance his leadership in a second term. With improved governance skills and institutional knowledge, he can address past challenges and implement effective policies. Jonathan's return to power would bring about collaborative leadership, inclusive decision-making, and a strengthened focus on economic development, all contributing to national unity and a better Nigeria.

I think as we approach 2027, so many people in the PDP and in the North will be open to this argument. Majority of Tinubu's votes were from the North(63%). If he looses Northern support he will not get re-elected. This argument will get stronger if Tinubu decides to run a biased Administration as he will quickly loose the Northern support.

If Goodluck should decide to run he will win easily and defeat Tinubu based on the above permutations.

Please say this again without tears

UNDFTD:
Jagaban, the first drug-dealing selected President of the Zoological Republic of Animal Kingdom!

Ibo are suffering from inferiority complex, they think abandoning their language and speaking queens English with a fake accent, makes them woke and civilised. That's why bleaching is also rampant!

They envy others speaking their native language because they have tactically lost and abandon theirs

Alright

yarimo:
he said it by himself he doesn't want any appointments from the new administration, infact he said the only thing he wants from APC is for the party to let him name speaker house of representatives. And today his candidate emerge speaker house of representatives from Zaria Kaduna state

What makes you think that? So you think Tinubu will ditch him?

senatordave1:
He isn't interested in any post

What about El-Rufai?

senatordave1:
While tinubu cabinet will be peopled or dominated by technocrats,politicians especially ex governor's will also be accommodate with less sensitive and strategic portfolio...

Ganduje:,Among the ex governors,he was the most loyal and hardworking to tinubu.even if tinubu intends to make kwankwaso minister,ganduje must be compensated.minister of FCT will be fitting.

Lalong:having lost out in the senate and sgf race,he will take the lone ministerial slot for plateau.fct,special duties,trade and investment,humanitarian etc will fit him.

Wike: I feel he would nominate someone to take rivers spot plus several other federal posts meant for rivers or him and Abe will be ministers.works,interior,niger delta will be fitting.

Bagudu: though he failed to deliver APC,he might get a ministerial slot in agriculture,fct,trade etc

Amosun: he has a chance but with osobo close to tinubu,it is a tall order.

Oyetola: tinubu will surely give him an appointment though it might not be ministerial.specisl duties,national planning will suffice.

Badaru abubakar: he will take the ministerial slot for jigawa.fct,trade,water resources etc

Ben ayade: he has a slight chance as minister of state, environment,culture

I voted for Tinubu and I'm glad I did!

But you can't insult our intelligence by trying to justify appointmenting his kinsmen, while admonishing Buhari for doing same. It's outright hypocrisy!

Grayoso:
I don't care what you think. Tinubu knows what he is doing. That will soon be obvious to most Nigerians who don't appreciate that not everything can be stated publicly.

Lol leave the fool! Nigeria is full of hypocrites. We don't hate corruption and nepotism as long as it benefit our religion and tribe

Almost all head of state/president practice nepotism as some point, but people cherry pick who to insult

Ttalk:
I disagree with you that Buhari set the precedence for nepotism, rather nepotism was enthroned into our body polity by Azikwe when was the president, and further stamped by Aguiyi Ironsi's military rule.

Check the records of appointments given to Igbo as against other Nigerians during those periods.

Lol so it's justifiable for Tinubu to appoint his kinsmen in all possible position because they are "competent". But it's wrong for Buhari to do it because you decide who is competent or not

Bro, let Tinubu appoint his kinsmen as he dims fit, after all Buhari did it too.. But don't insult our intelligence or justify it with this competent bullshit!

Grayoso:
@OP.

I can relate with your thinking. Buhari was a President who shocked Nigerians because of his overt and condemnable favouritism towards Fulanis he never never hid.

Tinubu is very different. A Liberal man who wants the best for every Nigerian and understands, like Awolowo, that teaching a man to fish is the best approach to leadership rather than giving a man free fish alone he has no tools or capacity to catch himself.

I personally think Tinubu ,unlike Buhari, is not pursuing any ethnocentric agenda but merely going with the best Nigeria has to offer. If his appointees are from a particular ethnic group and some Nigerians want to argue with their deployment, then let them fault the record of those individuals.

For example, Buhari chose a charge and bail lawyer as AGF, in Malami. Tinubu, always aware of the need to use the best to get the best results, will not do such.

Even if he deploys a Yoruba then expect that Yoruba to be a qualified individual, above reproach as a distinguished and top level lawyer, fitting to be be AGF.

Not a dubious and undistinguished nobody like Malami whose appointment is an insult to the reality of how Nigeria parades the likes of Femi Falana, Fashola, Akeredolu, Agbakoba etal as very distinguished law practitioners.

There was nothing fair about Obasanjo's appointments, that's the lie you love to tell yourselves because his a fellow southerner

95% of northern appointments were giving to Christians, even in states that they were far minority

Emefiele was GEJ CBN gov, Soludo was Obasanjo CBN gov.. So what's wrong with Yar'adua using Sanusi as CBN gov?

DoTheNeedful:
Nepotistic tendency is subjective. It depends on who you ask. Just looking at the bolded, I could tell that you are either from SE or SS. The reason being that a lot of people believe that Jonathan's appointments favor the SE and SS very significantly.

The last time appointments were fair was under Obasanjo. Even the late Yar'adua that a lot of people almost canonize today because he died in power gave most of his appointments to the Northerners to the extent of giving CBN position to Sanusi, a fellow Fulani man. Southerners have mostly been the CBN governors since 1960.

I would have written enough rebuttal, but I know I'll just be wasting my time since you perfectly know what your doing and the narrative you want to push!

This is just another anti-north, hateful and antagonistic opinion the south love to have

There is no difference between the appointments Buhari made and the one of GEJ, both followed the same pattern

While Obasanjo's appointments were more widespread, 95% of his appointments from the north that make Muslim majority were Christians

TokunboCarsOnly:
I am not a fan of President Tinubu, and I am not sure I will ever be, but on the recent development especially his sacking of some persons and appointment of others especially people from his region I support him on this.

Buhari set a very dangerous path as president. He will go down in Nigeria presidential history as the man who introduced, enthroned and established political nepotism. Buhari disregarded federal character, he didn't give a damn about the outcry that followed his lopsided appointments. Everywhere was Fulani that most Nigerians thought he wanted to fulanize Nigeria.

From security agencies, to state house staff, custom and immigration, airports and seaports, anti graft agencies and NNPC. Even CBN leadership was not speared in his evil appointments. It was clear Buhari wanted to set Nigeria on fire if not for public restraints. A few reasonable Northerners called his attention to such injustice but the emperor Buhari never listened.

He forget that life is turn by turn. He forgot that what goes around they say, will come around. He succeed in enthroning nepotism and after eight years he bowed out, today he is in Daura and he feels no remorse about his actions. If wishes were horses, Buhari would have still held sway over his appointees from his Daura home. Unfortunately, wishes are not horses.

A new sheriff is in town and interestingly, the new sheriff was properly taught by Buhari how to run a tribal presidency, he is now reciprocating the same footsteps and it appears some Northerners are already feeling uncomfortable. Infact, recently, someone said to me that the way Tinubu is removing Northerners, that he may have issue with Northern cabals and I said cabals my foot. Where were the cabals when their son intitiated this demonic pattern of governance?

No reasonable Northerners should even say a word in condemnation of Tinubu Yorubanization of power. Personally, I will not fault him. What was Buhari thinking when he did the same? Oh, that when a Southerner becomes president he should worship the North and dash them all the positions again like Buhari did? Hell No!

The evil of tribal appointment has come to stay and the last we had it fair enough would be under Jonathan. So bravo Tinubu, on this nepotistic tendency, I stand with you gidigba. Let every region forever fill their own people. Kudos to Buhari for teaching Tinubu well.
