As we speak, neither Tinibu nor any fulani is on the ballot.

Peter Obi is my no. 1 choice, if he fails to get to the ballot I will vote for any reasonable Southerner but not Tinibu or any Fulani.

What I meant is that if its only Tinibu and a fulani person, I will sit at home.

Fair enough.

Wiseandtrue:
Any Yoruba that is not Fashola currently is not worth it!

These people you are rooting for are even worst than the Fulani you will not vote for!

While Buhari was saying that he did not make these electoral promises, was it not Tinubu and Osibanjo that packaged it and sold it to the masses

Especially Osibanjo, he entered buses, saying all sort of things, does he still use the bus now

Have you heard Osibanjo condemn any killings Same as Tinubu Their ambition is simply more precious than lives!

Who is rooting for Tinubu or Osinbajo?
In fact, I am not rooting for the west as a region to produce the next president again after 8 and 8. All I am saying is do other regions in the South have candidates at the fore with a popular platform like APC or PDP.

If they do not have then I will rather have a Yoruba as my president than another Fulani in 2023.

We are not slaves.

Penguin2:
Did Tinubu think about my loved ones before taking his decision before 2015 election?

This is not about Tinubu. I am not advocating for him. I am advocating for logic. Igbos should present their candidate so we can begin working for him or allow others from South come forth if they don't have a candidate worthy enough.

I will vote any Yoruba or Igbo or Ijaw or Edo or even Tiv from the middlebelt over a Fulani. That's the point sir.

ImmaculateJOE:
Evil is Evil, nothing like lesset evil.


I would rather sit at home than vote either Tinibu or any Fulani person.

Who is your candidate? You would have been reasonable if Peter Obi or Okorocha or Umahi was on the ballot but u ain't pushing anyone forth from your side.

A leprous man that would rather spill honey than safeguard it.

oyatz:
They have no candidate in both APC and PDP but are still insisting that the Yorubas must back out from the presidential race or support their candidate.

Sir, God bless you for getting my points. I was beginning to wonder if I wasn't communicating well.

VOICEofORIENTAL:
God bless you for this post! for me it's wicked for any Southerner to be thinking of another 8yrs for the north.MAY THAT PERSON NEVER SEE 2023.if the igbos can't get it let the Yorubas have it.ANY SOUTHERNER THAT WANT TO SELL THE TURN OF THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH FOR WHATEVER REASON,MAY THAT PERSON NEVER SEE 2023

Hate has beclouded their senses.

Penguin2:
Why didn’t Tinubu think about these things you enumerated in 2015 when he went alliance with Buhari, a known bigot with no educational qualification?

You guys were ready to vote for him even if he presented NEPA Bill as certificate.

Take a chill pill. In 2023 we are ready to vote even a northern slowpoke with Newspaper used to wrap Suya as certificate.

Maybe by 2031 we will now sit down and talk about Nigeria’s progress. But if we never learn our lesson, then the vicious cycle will continue.

Not everybody advocating logical voting rather than emotional one is a westerner. Think about your loved ones too before taking decision.

abobote:
Yes oo, I would rather vote Atiku instead of voting Tinubu

Why, pls?

ScamHunter:
In 2015, Yoruba exhibited treachery against the south. In 2021, they're exhibiting greed, so all the south will help them out. 2023 will either be an Igbo president or even Buhari can continue.

Yoruba backed Fulani in 2015 despite Igbo warning. Fulani turned around and started kicking Yoruba people out to Republic of Benin in continuation of a Jihad that Igbo officers stopped in 1966. Since Yoruba love Fulani so much that they so not mind going on exile for them, Igbo and the rest of the South will help Fulani achieve their dream of turning all Yoruba land to another Ilorin.

The futility of Yoruba imagination is their belief that treachery is sophistication. So the choice before Yoruba is between greed and concession. Only an Igbo president from southern unity will stop the impending exodus of Yoruba people. Back Igbo president and be safe or continue with your greed an go on exile. The choice is yours.

If I am in Nigeria in 2023, I'll definitely back a Fulani if there is no consensus for ALL IGBO aspirants from the south. Who will vote a Yoruba man in the south? Who will back them from the north? Lubbish.

Understand me pls. Who is your Igbo candidate? Under which party is he contesting? Definitely not PDP because Atiku and other Northerners have come out again. What have you done for the APC to claim the ticket? Would you be contesting under APGA?

These are my points sir

I have seen and read here and other media outlets some comments like: "I would rather support Atiku instead of Tinubu", "if the Southwest are playing smart the North should contest in 2023", "Yorubas are too greedy" and so on....

I want to believe that this sentiment of voting in another Fulani in 2023 is limited to a minimum percentage of our population in the South. How would you vote another Fulani because you want to spite Tinubu or the Yoruba people and then face another 8 years of hardship? Think.

Economic downturn, worse Hdi, higher unemployment, nepotism, all round failure should make you have a logical rethink if you aren't blinded by hate. Or is this just a scare mongering strategy to deter the Southwest from presenting a candidate?

If so, where are your candidates from the East and South because pdp has had there convention and aspiring candidates have bared their ambition. Non from the East.

If you are hoping of contesting under APC then you are being unreasonable and hopelessly hopeful. Why? You have been in the PDP for so long yet they didn't consider you worthy enough to allow you contest under their platform. So why would the APC of yesterday trust you with the mandate? Secondly, you never laboured enmass (I repeat, enmass) to bring the APC to where it is today, or let me say your region is not a major shareholder in the party to be considered as strategic and so deserves compensation with the party ticket.

I am not saying I will support Tinubu or Osinbajo or any Yoruba candidate if they will be contesting against any Eastern or South South candidate in 2023, but I will definitely support a Yoruba candidate over another Fulani in 2023.

A lesser evil is manageable between two evils.

Shebi when others were enacting anti-open grazing bill, this eediot dey condemn them.

abeg be your brothers keeper o jare.

tempest01:
The numbskull is still pleasing his masters by saying that open grazing is constitutionally allowed. If his interpretation of freedom of movement is freedom to trespass, encroach, murder, rape and destroy, then why is he complaining about security challenges?

In the south, open grazing is banned. If he feels it is allowed in the constitution, then he should accommodate the savages. We will see what will become of Kwara in the near future.

Well said.

LegendHer0:
Yeah you’re right. Using English will always give you a larger audience provided you are very good with what you do.

I only heard of Samspeedy from one guy like that and he’s not that popular within Nigeria. But he appeals more to the international space.

Emmanuela popular well for both local and international especially in the kid comedy genre. She’s just building up on the foundation that was set and that’s very nice of her.

One guy I like so much on YouTube is Kalistus, the guy is talented.

Samspeedy is from Osun.

agadez007:
these Yoruba people eh
below are the YouTube pages of zlatan and flavour,see the number of views there,in what planet does zlatan have more streaming than flavour
Compare and contrast

Pls this is not about Yoruba. He clearly doesn't know what he is saying. Just correct him with facts.

bahdpersona:
that's why he's songs always dies in the east

Be honest now haba. People all over Nigeria know flavour is a big musician.

Ekealterego:
This is very false. Go and check Flavour's Igbo music and see the streaming numbers.

I can tell you, most of them do not know Zlatan. I can tell you this for free... When you are just stationed in a place, you will think the world revolves around that place.
Don't get me wrong, Zlatan is very good.

Abeg no mind that one, no let am turn the thread to tribal affair.

bahdpersona:
prove it

Do the likes of Flavour produce their music in the West?

bahdpersona:
is there any music lover in Nigeria that doesn't know zlatan? I don't think so... Musics released in the south west will become popular in the whole country but songs released in South East dies there...

This is false.

Igboid:
Lol!
What is this?
He is Yoruba.
Only paternal ethnicity counts Biko.

Leave that confusionist jare.

Ekealterego:
It depends on what type of comedy too.. stand-up nationally is a dying craft... But South South and East (Basket mouth, Okey Bakassi, klint the drunk, Buchi, etc) were quite ahead of the West even till today.

However, when it comes to skit, I think the West are doing great but the East still edges it. No one does the numbers Emmanuella and Markangel does on platforms. Crazy clown was also one of the trend setters... but they still have Sydney Walker, Nastyblaq (Who are all easterners)

However, the West also have a lot of good ones like Macaroni, Tao etc. but I think some of them are limited because they appeal more to a region against people like Emmanuella that have a global audience for instance.

You have a point.

WesternOligarch:
E dey una body. They are confused because they don't recognize as Igbos....

Baba abeg make we leave tribalism this night. U fit correct without throwing shade at Igbo.

Ekealterego:
I think Flavour didn't relax, he just went a little bit more traditional promoting more of Igbo music than "national" music.... his streaming numbers are not bad considering the type of music he is making... I like the way he is promoting Igbo music globally.

Yeah. Flavour do more of traditional Igbo style now compare to before. He is good.

Igboid:
Chike is trying too. I liked his Roju and running into you.
Adekunle Gold has been on fire recently too, releasing hit track after hit track.
Nigerian music industry is now all comers affair.
To be honest, I think Yorubas just edged the secular music industry, while Igbos are far ahead in the gospel music sector.

True.

LegendHero:
Na Flavor I like pass. The guy get better voice and sings some cool music until lately when he somehow just relax.

What about Tekno? Them dey always Jam Tekno song wella for USA lounge and clubs. Even for places you won’t imagine self.

I like your honesty.

bigpriik:
What is identity without language?Burma is from ahoada an Igboid speaking clan in Rivers so by geographical identity he is Igbo..

Burna is Ijaw, and he said it by himself.

Igboid:
How has the west closed the gap on comedy?

Comedy is still well led by SS and SE.
Comedy I think of Elenu, Macroni and maybe Broda shaggy.
But SE has (Pragya, Sabinus, Aloma,Brain jotter, and many more)
SS has quite a long list o can't remember now.

Yeah. I meant there was not as many as famous comedian from the West as there are now.

WesternOligarch:
Largely thanks to IG and other social media.....it made entry into the sector very easy.

Yeah.

house10s:
soo nah to dey separate our selves we dey now shey soon all d awards go dey go one side cause dem b from one side.

Calm down, nobody is separating. It's just my harmless observation.

WesternOligarch:
It's not necessarily just about the language they sing in but their identity.....we actually have more south south guys in the entertainment industry that any other tribes than yorubas....

I noticed Westerners (avoiding to use Yoruba to prevent tribalism) have almost closed the gap in comedy too. Before, the South South is indisputably the champion in that sector.

LegendHero:
I like that Omah Lay. That guy get unique sound.

Just like Kiss Daniel when he came to the limelight. You’ll always know those kind of guys will blow.

Omah Lay will reach the peak if he continues in that pace.

Kiss Daniel is very good but he seem to have relaxed recently.

Muna4real:
There's no need for comparison please.

Not for comparison. Just to encourage the hard workers and to remind the complacent of its pace. Cheers.
