I didn't say your 1st paragraph was out of context but naive, stupid and quite insulting.

Yes, you clearly implied there was not even a single northerner in the entire north with the capacity to lead modern Nigeria.

Your post reeked of stereotype, bigotry and simply lack of intelligence - which makes continuing such discussion with an intellectually challenged person like you a complete waste of because lack the capacity to understand the finer points at hand.

I doubt if you are educated beyond secondary school level and definitely well below par to the Buhari you are criticising.

ItsMeAboki:
I find the 1st paragraph of your post very naive, stupid and quite insulting; it was as if to say that there are no intellectuals or competent persons among the millions of northerners capable of leading modern Nigeria.
If you truly believe that then I am sorry to say that you are an ignorant fool, who apparently mistakenly thinks that education or paper qualification is equivalent to intelligence.

We can all recall the last president who was a southerner and also the highest educated to date, a PhD holder; yet the most stupid, who along with his wife PEJ (also a multiple degree holder) successfully turned Nigeria into a laughing stock among the community of nations, with their several embarrassing famous gaffs.

If only you understood the true economic determinants of this country then you may not be blaming Buhari but GEJ who mismanaged our economic boom; squandering it and looting it with impunity; he literally participated in the stealing of the yesterday, today and tomorrow of many Nigerians.

The seeds of the witnessed recession were not sown by the present administration; that is why Buhari cannot provide the jobs many of you had trained for; because he has far less resources to do so.

Nonetheless he has tried to address this problem, among others, with some social development policies targeted at the very poor and less privileged e.g. Tradermoni for market traders and N-power for unemployed graduates; however, some of you are rejecting this opportunity and still insisting on plump white collar office job, out of either laziness or lack of creativity and capacity to adjust to today's realities; instead of accepting this lifeline out of possible poverty and real potential to owning their businesses and being their own bosses.

Some of those who grabbed this opportunity have already progressed ahead of the N-Power to the Next Level and on their way of being millionaires as well as employers in their own right; while those who have opted out are still there sitting on the sidelines waiting expectantly for that pre-meditated elusive cushy job and complaining 'Buhari no give me job' - presumably just like you.

With regards to appointments, I am yet to see any evidence in which the president allegedly breached any law or the constitution in favour of any region at the expense of another.

In any case, where he is deemed to have tilted more to a particular region e.g. the much touted defence appointments which is said to favour the north, he had equally tried to balance that by compensating the other with more appointments in another sector e.g. (until the resignation of Kemi, the former minister of finance) the president's entire economic team was up of southerners.
These allegations of lopsided appointments are largely baseless and mere propaganda; however, where there are exceptions the are usually extenuating circumstances for these.

Obi1kenobi:
I'm Igbo and that video is shameful. We cannot waste the next 4 years perpetuating the same cycle of bitterness and hate we've promoted the last 4 years. If that happens again, 2023 will be another disappointing year. Build bridges. Build alliances. Reach out to others. Make a reasoned case to be brought back to the fold of Nigerian leadership after decades of being ignored since the civil war. The same people who are targets of your hate today are the people you would need tomorrow. Biko, don't spend the next 4 years of Buhari's administration perpetuating this hatred.

That video and the reactions to it was disgusting and inhumane. It really cut me deep that there are psychopaths that think there is anything to justify treating a beggar that way. It is disgusting and if you think it is justifiable for any reason, you're a dangerous psychopath. If you don't want to give a beggar money, that is your damn prerogative and right. Hold your money. Ridiculing a beggar is morally repugnant and I couldn't imagine myself doing it. I've said this with brutal honesty, but many Igbos don't want to hear the truth. On cyberspace (whether Whatsapp, Facebook or wherever) Ndigbo since Buhari became President are comfortably Nigeria's number one peddlers of hate. Too much anger. Too much hatred. Too much bitter emotion. It is scary.

justtoodark:
i call bullshitt...things was very bad with jonathan....what are you talkin about....??

how come fee dee fee never had the idea to implement something like school feedin,npower,tradermoni....??

all they came up with was stomach infrastructure,practicaly makin all of us to beggars....

they build things and called it ultra modern that they themselves dont even use....

did you noticed that the word ultra modern disappeared lately....??

justtoodark:
if all the south unite and talk towards a direction,they would be to the north a match....

but igbos are busy insultin yorubas upandan....

if igbos would have built a bridge across the ol south,then their is no way northerners will filled 2 northern candidates....

i dont even think northerners carre if only southerners lead sef....

they already proved that with jonathan,although they have the numbers....

its the igbos always playin confused....today na biafra,tommorow na restructure,over tommorow na whatever....

wetdick:
i don't think so, people are getting wiser every day and any attempt to impose northern rule will lead to pure civil war which dangote and his allies wouldn't want.

i believe there will be rotation of power between the three ethnic groups because everyone now even the elites want an inclusive government.

justtoodark:
na nigerian goverment you are waitin for to implement that chinese system here....??....

forget it....

look....i know what you are sayin,but blaimin northerners for that is complet bullshitt....

you can either have more children too or be friendly to them to support you,what you should have supposed to do from the start....

Corrinthians:
It is just appalling. The traditional rulers in south east should call their subjects to order. This attitude we see them put up, especially online, might soon start bearing real fruits with substance.

I just don't understand the hurt! Would this be the first time someone loses an election? Why do they keep making the same mistakes time and again?

ItsMeAboki:
Yes indeed, they used the church and their media to poison the minds of gullible Nigerians against the president; they thought that fanning the embers of hatred along ethno-religious fault lines, using the herdsmen vs farmers conflict as a vehicle, especially in the middle belt would be sufficient enough to turn the political tide against Buhari - fortunate for Nigeria, they miscalculated big time.

The alleged Islamization agenda was a big hoax and in reality quite the opposite; because more churches are being built in the Muslim north than mosques in the Christian south - Nigeria is in fact in more danger of being Christinized than being Islamized.

justtoodark:
you cant imagine how many whites came to me complaining about arabs,chinese in europe....

i always tell them to make more children....

useless people....

mixed children my foot....mixed people see themselves as different type of people....they have no interest to join any side....

wetdick:
Oilypussy instead of complaining just tell the south to be strategic too.

Has they are borning more kids, you are educating your own southern kids. Nothing trumps an educated man with relevant skills in the 21st century

TheFreeOne:
Southern unity is the key to break free of northern domination. But majority of our leaders are greedy fools who keeps dividing us for their selfish interests.

Though i am yoruba but Nnamdi kanu is right on his stand for secession (though its wrong of him insulting other tribes) cos from the look of things northerners wont support restructing.

So if restructuring will not fly is it not better we go our separate ways?

Damsyjay:
insanity at its peak among ipob youths..they are still bitter over their loss

Herdsmen:
This one's no understand economic development..

Baba abeg just fight your corruption and go..

Elrufia go finish the rest..

Elrufia 2023..

Omoluabi16:
I disagree. I reject this.

SouthEastFacts:
We know this the moment this fools elected Buhari in 2023.

A Southern President in 2023 will never happen

SamNaijaboy:
Three reasons:
1. SW vote their conscience always. Note where the majority votes went to PDP: Oyo and Ondo. They were the ones that bore the issue of the Fulani herdsmen incursion the most. And they did not like it. Falae's farm was destroyed. Iseyin farmers displaced. And they saw inaction from Buhari over those incursions. That was a warning shot to the APC to stop the incursions into their land.

2. Some felt Buhari and APC did really badly with the economy and SW salaries and said they needed to vote him out. Someone I know in Ondo said "we made a mistake with this man, and we will vote him out. If Atiku messes up, we will vote him out as well in 4 yrs. Someday we will get it right". I expect APC to have challenges in Ondo and Oyo in gubernatorial election upcoming because the sentiments are bad with regards to the salaries plus (1) above.

3. Religious Leaders: Buhari was really de-marketed by the Christian religious rulers as some form of Islamization force. He needs to see this as a rebuke from the SW and bury the idea (and never resurrect it again) of cattle colonies for his Fulani brethren. That was seen as a way to spread Islam all over the south. Yorubas like live and let live. Don't force your lives (or cattle herders in this case) on others. Keep them in the North where they belong. Why all the movement by the way? Haven't they heard of irrigated ranches? The Northern governors can do that easily to keep them in the North. The Christians in the NC's cries resonated in the SW as well.
The religion bit was why Sanwoolu was chosen instead of Hamzat to replace Ambode, another Christian. Normally the Yoruba don't care. However Buhari is making the APC appear too focused on Islam and the leaders in the SW are quick to make sure that is not seen to be true in the SW.

Asshurbanipal:
Stop deceiving southerners. Pdp gave NE Speaker and presidential ticket yet they voted against PDP because their candidate have ideologies that are to advanced for the backward north. But you want a highly civilised yoruba tribe to support a feudal govt. Yoruba must redefine political interest and learn from SE2003 and NE2019. political "relevance" is not a political interest.

vision2050:
In as much i don't support Buhari reelection because I have my opinion that does not mean I lost my mind.

Nairaland is a forum full of tribalism bigotry, slowpoke and a lot of small children.

Igbo should not see Yoruba as perceive enemies, doing so we continue to cause disunity among us. Going by this election, sane Yoruba voted for PDP because we know Buhari fail in many areas, economy in shamble, hunger in the land and other evil atrocities done by Buhari Administration. But the election has come and gone, let look forward for the future, let forget about the past and look for the progress of our country.

Gabriel004:
Post picture from now till thy kingdom comes, buhari has won. And your obi will never be vp. Shameless slaves that abandoned their struggles for a Fulani master.

Dannyset:
This guy isn't getting the picture. You have been rejected by all and sundry. You will even lose before you leave the Tribunal.

Body camera ko, body count ni.
Lawyers already deceiving him. No be today video evidence is failing in court.

He should be reminded that his Intel license won't be renewed after its expiration in 2020.

WritePal:
Remember the prophesy from my pastor friend and prophet I shared? These are the fulfillment of the prophesy. Stage 1 and 2 have been fulfilled. Next is stage 3.

1. The 2019 Presidential election will be won by the PDP candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. -- FULFILLED

The videos of "how they won" are out and the international observers have them.Despite its cautious diplomatic-speak, the UK expressed reservation about the election. US has been mum. That's a big statement on its own. France, Germany and other countries that matter have been mum. Buhari is brewing extreme tribalism in Nigeria.

2. President Buhari will refuse to accept the result. He will contest it, try to manipulate it and continue as president. -- FULFILLED


3. There will be a little post-election crisis in Nigeria. -- IN PROGRESS


4. The reins of power will eventually be handed over to Atiku Abubakar and PDP will go back to the centre while maybe the APC returns to the opposition role. -- YET TO BE FULFILLED. STILL IN THE FUTURE.


Make no mistake, I DO NOT SPEAK FOR ATIKU. I AM A FEARLESS SPEAKER OF THE REVELATIONS AND MIND OF GOD.

BuhariAdvocate:
fake account user.

Gabriel004:
If you like, zone it to heaven. Atiku is currentlt cursing your race in his mind right now. Na nairaland likes una know how to gather. Hope all the likes you got from your fellow zombies have been added to Atiku vote and he has won.

FriendNG:
I am a northerner so get out.

FriendNG:
The north will support a Southwest candidate in 2023. Even though their outing was not as expected this time around, at least they contributed to the Buhari project better than any other region in the south.

If there is any reward for goodness is goodness.

BUSINESSARENAA:
It's high time Nigeria started using full electronic voting, it will reduce a whole lot of mess in the System.

5thElement:


Who are the we?

Anyway I won't yab Igbos here. I know there are many sane ones who voted against Atiku despite all odds. I salute them and I salute their courage.

As for you, their kinsmen chest beating online, I can only pity you guys. Seems you guys haven't learnt your lesson yet.

alizma:
before this election, if someone had asked to know why he accommodate those people, he would have said he was doing it for Allah but we can all see now that he was doing it for his personal gain.

Galaxyowerri:
You are now getting it twisted. Whether Tinubu or even the Pope of afonja decent, they will never win and SE/SS won't support such after their serial betrayal and mounting of shameful propaganda and lies that painted GEJ in bad light. Two can play the game, and for all we care, the North can rule forever! The funny thing is that North is very selfish when it comes to politics, thus with the massive rigging that ensured Northern votes alone was enough to win Buhari the presidency, they will soon put the SW where they belong. The first casualty is going to be Tinubu who they will undermine after Buhari's swearing in. Then a cabinet that will be 70% northern Muslims will be formed and after that, most projects will equally go north. The South has been rendered useless politically and each time any of the two major parties fields a Southerner, the other will field a northerner and boom, power remains in the North forever. The only thing they will be changing will be to rotate the toothless vice presidency post among the three Southerner regions
Tinubu is the most fuulish and gullible politician I have seen, and the fact he thinks himself to be smart makes is so funny.

BuhariAdvocate:
of course you're evil. For example they never inaugurate the President your people have started calling from recession, and when the recession break out they will start crying and blame the President they will not know its God that answer their prayer. Even in the bible God told the Israelites to pray for their Jerusalem. Nigeria is our Jerusalem we must pray .

5thElement:
Whenever your opinion matters in Nigerian politics, I'll let you know. In the meanwhile go some place quiet and think about this. The two times you've overwhelmingly supported a candidate, he lost woefully. Now, that's worth being sober about isn't it?
