OlujobaSamuel:
the list is close to perfection, also I don't see an igbo ruling this nation anytime soon, however if there is any tribe from the east that is not of igbo extraction(seriously doubt there is), such might be pushed to present a president to pacify and fulfill whatever zoning arrangement there is in any party.

yeah, the igbos need to put there house in order and squash those thugs calling for biafra. if they do that they might have a chance

With the current economic realities in which majority of states in the country cant pay salaries, perhaps its past time we considered a new a new strategy: put a hardcore capitalist at the helm of affairs. And who better than the countries biggest capitalist! Here are five reasons why Aliko Dangote should be Nigeria’s next president.

1. Efficiency: Some of the country’s biggest challenges include corruption and bureaucracy. For a man who turned a small trading firm he founded in 1977 into a multi-trillion naira conglomerate, managing one of the most bureaucratic nations in the world should be an interesting challenge.

2. Popularity: any Nigerian home or abroad who has access to any form of media be it radio, TV or the internet will most likely know who Aliko Dangote is. With that sort of popularity selling him as a presidential candidate would be easy for any political party.

3. Spotless: in a country where almost every popular person has one corruption scandal or the other, the man has managed to keep a image clean. In fact, the only scandal he almost had was when a certain Miss Sylvia Nduka was rumored to be his girlfriend. An allegation in which both he and the lady in question denied.

4. Business minded: no disrespect to president Buhari, but he needs to upgrade his financial intelligence. To spend more money, you have to first diversify your income stream. The school feeding program, 5000naira for the poor amongst other liabilities without having a long term financial sustainability plan for these programs will end up doing more harm than good.

5. There is no one else: the main opposition party, the PDP is struggling with internal crisis. It doesn’t look like they will be producing a president anytime soon. The ruling APC for now doesn’t seem to have any electable presidential material. A presidential material with popularity and the political muscle to unite the country, and most importantly one with no corruption scandal seems to be lacking in the country right now.

PUSIDRILA:
9- Igbos

nah, our next president after Buhari will be igbo

sunnywinter:
Lol .. But they might be people who have solid plans and acheivable goals for Nigeria who fall into these categories. Discrimination against different sorts of people will keep holding us down for a long time to come.

yes that is one disadvantage of democracy, sometimes good people just cant convince enough people

It is a bit unfair if you live in a country and you are being told you cannot be President simply because you belong to a group that is politically unattractive. The constitution may not necessarily be a barrier, but your countrymen and women will just not vote for you. If you belong to any of the following categories, you may never be president of your country.

1. The Atheist
One of the fundamental values of Nigerians is the believe in God. Being an atheist is a major hindrance for any one with dreams of occupying the AsoRock. However, even a non practicing Muslim or Christian will have a better chance.

2. The Traditionalist
Sequel to the atheist, a traditionalist can’t be president of Nigeria also. According to The CIA World Fact Book, over 97% of Nigerians are either Christians or Muslims. This overwhelming majority will simply not allow anyone who isn’t one of them to be president. While a hardcore traditionalist does not have a chance at the AsoRock office, a Christian or Muslim with some traditionalist ties might. A traditionalist here means people who still worship traditional African gods.

3. Women
This will be a lot controversial, but there are two major reasons why Nigeria can’t have a female president. African tradition doesn’t view women as leaders, it views them as supporters and people who should be respected and protected by men. Secondly, almost half the countries population is Muslim. Islam is explicitly against having a female as a supreme ruler and that simply means it will be near impossible for any major political party to sponsor a female presidential candidate.

4. Jehovah’s Witness, Shiites and other religious deviants
First the Shiites; they are deviants from mainstream Islamic believes and values who constitute less than 10% of the global Muslim population, and in Nigeria, they are less than 3%. They have extreme views such as “the Prophet was killed by his wives,” and in extreme cases some of them reject the Qur’an saying it was doctored. With these and other extreme views will make even a moderate Shiite unattractive for the AsoRock Villa.
Jehovah’s witnesses are a Christian minority who believes that the end of the world is near and that only their members will be saved from being damned. Some of them have extreme views such as “don’t get blood transfusion even when you are sick and dying.” Nigerians may be conservative and religious, but they just won’t vote for any religious deviant.

5. The Liberal
If you ever want to be president, and you are asked in an interview on your opinion on same-sex union, condemn it, use words such as “it’s disgusting” and “it should be a punishable offense.” The harsher you sound, the more conservative you’ll look. Nigerians love conservatives and hate liberals.

6. The Celibate
In proper Nigerian culture, not having a spouse means you are incomplete, irresponsible . Celibacy may be acceptable in other cultures, but in Nigeria it isn’t.

7. The Ex-convict
The likes of former President Obasanjo and Senator Shehu Sani are political prisoners, so they can be excused from this category. But ex-convicts, in the likes of Bode George and James Ibori will have no chance at ever occupying the AsoRock Villa. In Nigeria, once a criminal is always a criminal.

8. People with bad reputation
Imagine a Femi Fani Kayode contesting for president. Or a Doyin Okupe seriously campaigning to be President. These men will be seen as more of jesters than they will be considered for the countries number one office. From corruption scandals to baseless arguments on Twitter has made these men completely unattractive for any party to sponsor for the country’s presidency. This category also has to include everybody that has been arrested on corruption charges.

This op is yarning rubbish, its like nairabet chop his money and he's now looking for who to blame, those boys don't look any older than their opponents stop hating another mans success so ur bet tickets can win

If our government won't place economic sanctions on South Africa, i think its time we do it ourselves by boycotting South African businesses. No more ShopRite and simply replace ur dstv with startimes decoder, port from mtn to glo to send a message to their government.

If you have faith you can move mountain. GEJ till 2019..

justi4jesu:
Pdp the winning Party.


Dedicated to the Hero Goodluck Jonathan(Man of Peace)

dude are u in tune with reality at all? It says pdp lost the governorship seat, speaker also lost his bid for reelection they only have a consolation prize of having a slim majority in a house they've dominated for 16yrs. What's d pdp now winning?

Goodnews, can't wait for clueless Jonathan to finally leave office so these bokoharam guys can finally get crushed.

Jonathan have pafuka. Meanwhile GEJ also suffered a heavy lost at Obasanjos PU, he also lost at Bode George's PU, he didn't win a single PU in entire ilorin metropolis.. These are the latest casualties for those who still think there is a miracle that GEJ can pull off

The clueless one is being scammed since 2000BC

Firefire:
Absolutely.

Both men perform wonderfully.

GEJ has in-built Leadership Qualities

really? Then the cluelessness he is exhibiting where did he acquire that from? Or he has both inbuilt?

PDP are going to need alot of rigging to win this election. Change must happen... Gombe should be an easy ride for apc

SPINA101:
Aboki mentality illiteracy at it peak.

no they are venting their anger at a failed government just like new York police turned their backs on their mayor at a funeral. Or are they also illiterates in new York?

Wash off bad luck from your towns and villages, wash off cluelessness and corruption, wash it till it becomes spotless.

bright007:
i am a graduate of Uniben and i know the value of education. Hence i cannot vote for an illiterate who has refused to come out and tell me how he is going to solve Nigeria's problem if elected?

you are dumber than most ppl make you believe, and the clueless guy you plan to vote for what is he doing or what did he promise you he'll start doing? Dumb bimbo!

SeverusSnape:
So GEJ is not Among?... That's an exemplary leader there.
GEJ all the way...

he is not among cos he is so corrupt there is no record of his official salary

Dead man talking...instead of them to give up and avoid this eminent show of shame that is just days away they are there yarning dust. Dutch courage is allowed

Am positive if she had kept that money she would have been nominated for a post of a minister by now just like obanikoro. A wise man ones said... Try lying for a change,,its the currency of the world.

We've had looter presidents, we've had clueless presidents only God knows why he cursed us with a clueless looter president this time around

Eghosakelly:
GEJ's victory or loss is in the hands of nigerians and isn't subject to what america or other foreign countries think about him. GEJ's government refused to legalise homosexuality and has criticised US in some other issues and that's totally acceptable. That's a very strong legacy of this government. Nigerian leaders can't be pushed around by these western countries irrespective of our developmental flaws.

Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar Japan are all American stooges the ones that aren't Syria, Russia, north Korea look at what these countries are going through if you can't fight them and win why not join them its the way the world works bro

I don't like the Americans and the west, but the truth is you can't fight the whole world and win its impossible, well GEJ has sinned against God and man his cluelesness has earned him global disgust, so if the Americans will help us get the change we want I say there should be no permanent friends or permanent enemies only permanent interests
