Crowdboom:
Please, can Lucky still recontest if possible win this governorship election?

If no, I suspect other senatorial courtesy zone play a good politics with the south

Sheggy13:
Of course. Lucky's case is exactly same as that of Jonathan who took over after Yar'Adua's death in 2010, and was allowed to contest twice - 2011 and 2015. Jonathan has set a precedence already for that.

monex:
Monday Okpebholo has two date of birth in his biographies online. One 1962 (62 years) and the other 1970 (54 years). none of that makes him a youth

TheCeasar:
he's just a ward chairman

FiftyFifty:
The way you talk, I doubt if you've ever been to the North, the core-north. You use the data from Wiki when it suits you and when it doesn't you tender an "apology to wiki".

So Hausas migrated from Sudan but the same Sudanese speak Arabic. The few Hausas there found themselves there due to the journey to Mecca for pilgrimage.
You alo said the Hausas came through "Tripoli route" If you are coming to any part of Nigeria from Sudan you have no business with Tripoli which is far north, you head westward pass Chad and you're in Nigeria. Geography is added to your problems after history.
Churches in plateau uses Hausa in their service just like I told you that the Birom people uses Hausa language even among themselves. You don't know all these you're here presenting yourself as an authority in a subject you're obviously oblivious of.

Kanem Bornu is in the south of Hausaland? Lol. This is embarassing to you, wallahi. Kanem Bornu is in the east, take note.

You shy away from a answering this simplest question: Before Islam came to Hausaland, what what was the language of the original inhabitants of Kano, Zazzau, Katsina, Daura, Kazaure, Gumel, Gusau, Gobir, Rano, and Mafara among others? Waiting for your answer.

The Fulanis, you said, came to Nigeria from North Africa, how come there's no any country in northern Africa that speaks Fulfulde, or they just decided to migrate all at once, and in millions?

Nupe people are largely in Niger, Kwara, and Kogi states; Kwararrafa is the Jukun side of Taraba and Benue states; Kanem Bornu was Borno, and some parts of Yobe states; there was never the trace of Kanuri, Jukun, and Nupe in Adamawa so who was the inhabitants of Adamawa, or it was just a plain land?

Politics in Nigeria comes with its peculiar intricacies, it is not always a determining factor in this regard. Late Abu Hashidu was a Governor in Gombe in 1999, he was Fulani. Inuwa Yahaya, the current Governor is also Fulani. Gombe, like some states in the North has a negligible percentage of indigenous Christians, there's therefore an unwritten agreement to always give them a Deputy Governor's slot except where they misuse the gesture and provoke the Muslims like in Niger and Kaduna that's where they will lose that opportunity since the Muslims can win any election without them. In Gombe, just like in Adamawa the relationship between the two faith is cordial, so? This further exposes your ignorance about the north and its politics. Another example is Taraba which is a Muslim majority state (I know you'll argue but try and have a heart-to-heart discussion with anybody from Taraba and he'll tell you), another pointer is that from 1999 to date, two out of the three senators representing the date in Abuja have always been Muslims. That tells you all you need to know. Why they are not been governors is a topic for another day. Also, from 1999 to date all the governors in Bauchi state came from one senatorial zone, is Bauchi south senatorial zone more populous than the northern and central zones? Still, consider this points, Jonathan is from Ijaw tribe, is Ijaw among the major tribes in Nigeria? In the recent elections, Tinubu lost to Peter Obi in Lagos, does Lagos belongs to the Igbos? Same Tinubu lost to Atiku in Osun, yes Osun, not Adamawa. What is this telling you? Northerners pay more attention to religion than tribe. That's the reason they voted for Abiola in 1993 and Tinubu in 2023. If you're a Muslim, you can easily contest and win an election in most parts of the North. Shekarau governed Kano for 8 years, he was a minister and a senator but he is originally from Borno. The immediate Governor of Bauchi M A Abubakar is from Kogi. I can go on.

There is no point educating you about Shehu Uthman Danfodio. If you lack a basic comprehension of a simple geographical and historical issues, I doubt if you can understand that one.

Khallicopyro:
Baba no go talk put. I think he likes Obaseki

TheCeasar:

TheOgaBoss:

The ward 7 chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo State, Mr. Bright Ehigiamusoe, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP governorship candidate, Barr. Osarodion Ogie, hails from ward 7 in Ikpoba-Okha local government area.


Ehigiamusoe said he dumped the PDP to enable him work for the victory of Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC candidate in the forthcoming election.

According to him, “I issued Ogie his PDP membership card in Ikpoba-Okha. Today, I am supporting Monday Okpebholo for governor.

“The APC candidate and his deputy are youths. We will work deliver them in Ikpoba-Okha.”

scholes0:
How do Fulanis dominate Taraba? looool
There is no state Fulanis dominante and they do not consistently emerge as the state governors. Give one example if it exists.

scholes0:
Yauri, Darazo, Ibbi etc are not Fulani words.
Also, that some of those local governments were named after Fulani people or words from Fulfulde does not necessarily mean that the fulanis are the majority demographic in them. Case in point is Sardauna which is dominated by the Mambilla with the Fulanis there being a minority.

Virtually all the places you have listed are highly multi ethnic and diverse.

Kukutenla:
Rubbish!!

forgiveness:
I didn't discuss Gomba state with you bloody twister. What I discussed with you is Adamawa state. Focus.

slivertongue:
I don't say you should believe me and disbelief scholars but interrogate some of their claims that's if you have superior information or knowledge. Every ethnic group in Nigeria had one form of movement or the other. Those movements ended centuries before the arrival of Dan fodio and his jihadists. Hausa is commonly spoken in the North but most of the Northerners have other tongues distinct from Hausa. Inter marriages have also affected native tongues especially amongst Muslims who hardly retain their tongues even if they are of the same tongue.

Anselemchi:
It's rather d reverse Igbos are in kogi, not d opposite,

slivertongue:
Ethnic communities existed in the North before Hausa traders reached the North in the early centuries and settled there. Hausa is a trader language while Fulfulde is an invaders language. Islam in Nigeria greatly relied on Hausa language because those traders who came through the Tripoli route were Muslims and spoke Hausa. Most Southerners like the Op believe everything taught to in GST class or read in some revisionist text books.

forgiveness:
Which infos? Show ut here bloody liar.

IfnobeGod20:
My brother, are you a law court to have decided that there is no case? The case has gone to court, let the court decide that his suspension is null and void because it wasn't done by lawful excos. Is just like saying, the impeachment of Shuaibu wasn't done by authentic member of the Edo House of Assembly, then, the impeachment is null and void by mouth. I am sure many impeachment had been done in this country in wrong ways but it was through court that they were reversed and not by ordinary mouth, the way you want it to be or agitating.
The case is already in court, he should go and fight it out that he was removed unjustly or in short he should not do anything about it and let us see what would become APC in the months to come, if APC will still allow Ganduje to function as her chairman.
You're particular about the authenticity of those that suspended him, when you're not a law court.
How wish APC just abandon the case and let us see something.

forgiveness:
I don't know why you are trying to portray false information here. You're wrong. Fulani are not the largest group in Adamawa though they conquered the place and installed an emir just like Ilorin having an Emir but it doesn't negate the fact they are minorities in Kwara state just as they are minority in Adamawa state.

slivertongue:
The issue with you is that you argue what you have little knowledge about. Adamawa is a non fulani state though they may have the top elites but the population are non fulani. Gombe State is same

slivertongue:
see reasoning abeg. Adamawa is a fulani name but the inhabitants are outrightly native people. fulanis are spread across Central and Northern Gombe but there are other ethnic groups there
