The guy did not even recognise non Yoruba voters in places like Lagos on his table.

As far as he is concerned they are all Yoruba votes.

And yet pdp won the south in 2015 and 2019.

Buhari had to rally in his own north to claim victory.
Look in the chart of registered voters released by INEC, do you see ethnic breakdown?

In 1979, Awolowo made Philip Umeadi from Anambra his running mate but SE didn't vote for him rather voted for Shagari from the North. Is this not called betrayal of the South? grin
They dont vote their own. They never do, always surrenders to North.

Every election year Ohanaeze will come out and warn that any Ibo who goes against their endorsement is a bast3ard, and the endorsements is always a non-Ibo. To top the caviar, Ohanaeze will promise that the incumbent will hand over power to Ibo. The biggest scam i ever seen. It happened with Obasanjo, they said Obasanjo will handover to Ibo that no Ibo should compete. Then Jonathan will handover to Ibo, dont compete with him. Atiku will handover to Ibo, dont support Buhari.

When Yoruba becomes President, dont compete with him....he is going to handover to Ibo. grin grin

This is all they know...dont compete, wait, its our turn and it will be handed over.

Your rant is funny. wink

And projecting your myopic imagination on me, and mouthing your gibberish as some kind of reality is the height of comedy.

You and I know that you created this thread out of fear following the new anti-south 2003 narrative coming from some northern mouthpiece in your party.

Does what you are doing now sound like "building bridges"?

Here is the reality though: as far as the South is concerned, PDP is the majority party and the SW is more like an opposition stronghold at the meantime.

So, pending any judicial interventions in the current outcome of 2019 election, the PDP will clinch power in 2023 by fielding a Northern candidate. The only way APC can counter this is to field another Northern candidate.

Thereafter, the only way for APC to get back to power at the center is to field another Northern candidate (like they did in 2015) or, try to field a Yoruba moslem and a northern Christian (as VP).

But you and I know that a Northern moslem will always win a Southern Moslem in the north, any day, any time.
I guess you failed to reflect on the three views and our attitude towards politics.

Yorubaland is our first priority! Whether we are the ruler, the opposition, or detached from the center, as long Yorubaland is thriving, nothing else matters. We achieve dynamism for Yorubaland through our political calculations. If our political calculations fail, which has happened before and we lost ruling, we have capacity to fold down into an opposition or a parallel government. We can handle any political outcome, whatever it is. The proof is there for you on ground.

The North lost out in 2011. They went into opposition. A part of the North has lost out in 2019, they will go into opposition.

Yoruba will compete and get 2023. Its your headache whether you join in the competition or surrender to North to champion your battle.

For your info no APC member with power to influence party direction has denied power returning to South in 2023. Babachir has no political value in his own state. Junaid belongs in PDP. So APC returns power to South in 2023.

pchukwudi:
Here is the harsh reality of the Nigerian politics - for any opposition party to take power at the center, it has to field a perceivably core northern candidate.

The north already knows this. And the selfishness and idiosyncrasies of folks like you only help to strengthen the northern resolve to clinch on power at all times.

The only possible way out?

Political unification of the south and the northern Christians.

But, your region, your very region may never get up to this, due to the fact that a lot of people from there owe their allegiance to the caliphate.

The final outcome? The status quo of northern domination.

In the final analysis, your current bravadoes are like that of
a brainwashed slave flexing his perceived superiority and sophistication to his fellow slaves.
The bold is not true. What does the North have that you do not?

You Ibos see government from one perspective only - the man at the top, the ruler! You fail to acknowledge like the Yorubas do that even from an opposition role a ruling government can be brought to its knees and forced into compromise to progress society.

If Christian North was that relevant for you why did your delegates from East pick muslim Atiku over christian Makarfi at the PortHarcourt primaries?

You have to ally with somebody to make progress in life. No individual is self-sufficient. No region is either. Today North is your enemy, tomorrow West is your enemy, next day South is your enemy. When are you going to make friends? grin grin

You make me laugh with your responses.

This your selfish line of thinking is the very reason the North will stay in power at the center forever - just like they did in the military era - until you guys either start using your heads correctly or the faulty foundation gets finally obliterated.
grin grin
Im not selfish. Its reality, sir!

You are accepting defeat when you surrender what is yours to others without a fight. Stop saying North will rule forever....dont you want to rule? If you do find allies to endorse your candidacy, instead of resolving your fate in the hands of North to fight your battle.

Please, can you kindly show - IN CLEAR TERMS - how the Yorubas paid their "dues" in the years:

- 1999
- 2003
- 2007
- 2011
- 2015
- 2019
Regionally, Yorubas have always preserved and presented SW as a political asset, and it paid off. We know of three possibilities in Nigerian politics-

1. As a ruling government
2. As an opposition government
3. As a parallel government

We have served in everyone of these capacities successfully.

From 1999 to 2003 SW was AD and opposition government.

From 2003 to 2007, with exception of Lagos, SW was PDP ruling government.

From 2007 to 2011, SW went back to opposition, AC.

From 2011 to 2015 SW was ACN, ran a parallel government to PDP.

From 2015 to 2019 SW was APC and in ruling government.

TonyeBarcanista:
John, in the event of the Speaker functioning as acting President, his Chief of Staff takes over the duty of the President's Chief of Staff. The President's Chief of Staff is a Personal Aide of the President and he has to step aside!

He has no choice
I love your first response on the arrangement that a mere absence from the soil on official duties does not absolve the President of his sovereign responsibilities, and that only absence of a personal nature, whether on the soil or not, transfers power to next tier.

On the response of the role of Chief of Staff however I would like for you to review it. Consider that they are all servants of government. President has personal aides and he has official aides. The position of a Chief of Staff is official - he is the executor of policies formulated in the cabinet. Temporary absence does not impact CoStaff.

In the event the president, the vp, sp will not return, and their absence is permanent, which gives room to the speaker first becoming acting, and then subsequently substantial president after oath of office, the Chief of Staff remains in office until replaced or substituted by the incoming.

Forget the above....

Modified!

Secretary to the Government is who I had in mind.

*Buhari is sending Fulani herdsmen to kill Christians.

*Buhari wants to Islamist Nigeria.

*Buhari is on life support.

*Buhari is not actually Buhari but Buhari is Jibrin Al Sudan from Sudan.


All that did not work and he won his second term,




Now the new story is

*"Buhari would never hand power to the South"

*Buhari has used and dumped Tinubu.

*Anybody who supports Buhari is a slave to the North but anybody who supports Atiku or Kwonkwoso is a patriotic citizen who is a friend to Nigeria.

Honor10:
what about SW field a candidate under APC and SE field a candidate under PDP, u are scared SW will beat u blue black? why are u all queuing under the north? I guess ur region is truly 5%
Ibo cannot win national election as a presidential candidate without Yoruba endorsement.

Go back to days of NCNC in the 50s and 60s. Its political base was Lagos. Get a list of the political mavericks of the NCNC, the ones that gave it success and you will see they were majority Yorubas, followed by people in what later became Midwest, and then Ibos. But after winning victories Azikiwe rewarded the Ibos above the Midwesterners and Yorubas. This is what led Akintola to make that popular broadcast warning Yorubas about Ibos.

Yorubas formed NCNC, formed AG, UPN, AD, ACN and now in APC. These were all very successful parties in their eras, either in opposition or in ruling.

Make a list of parties formed by Ibos and you cant find progress or popularity.

While Yorubas are eyeing Osinbajo as a legacy of Awolowo through his marriage and hoping he will run in 2023 so we can rally behind him.....in APGA Mrs Ojukwu, the legacy of Ikemba, was kicked out of Anambra and told she cannot be Senator because she is not indigene and told to go to Enugu. grin

Don't tell me that the party also have a say in all the nepotistic appointments grin grin grin grin grin

Just admit it, Tinubu has been used!

Someone like El-rufai will never allow Tinubu to preside while he's still alive!!!

Mark my words
We marked your words in 2015 that Yoruba will never be VP. Osinbajo became VP....and your words collapsed!

We marked your words when you said in 2017 that Tinubu's political career is finished and El Rufai is the new boss. Few months later we saw El Rufai visiting Bourdillon and bowing to greet Tinubu. Your words collapsed!

We marked your words when you said Buhari is going back to Daura in 2019 and Yoruba will suffer the consequence of outing GEJ. Buhari won election and Yoruba remains part and parcel of the party and administration. Your words collapsed!

Mr man, your words lack virtue. grin

He said in the spirit of fairness and equity but when you remind them of SouthEast they said with plenty excuses.

If it's about number then let the power remain the the north afterall it's a winner takes all but if you want to mentions equity and fairness then be ready to stand by what it means to the latter not when it favours a section of the country.
SE has not been fair and equitable to APC. Do you know the number of times Boss Mustapha went to SE and told you if you voted Buhari he will handover to you in 2023? You all mocked him and said Buhari cannot determine whether you become president or not and that you are determined to sack and return him to Daura. They already gave you the offer you mocked it.

I never knew Atiku didn't secure 25% votes in 7 northern states if not for the stat table.
That table shows what parties can expect regionally and how to zone for victorious outcome.

Looking at the 25% quota performance by the candidates, SW demonstrated itself as a serious partner attached to political progress.

this your statistics proves nothing. if it were to be to that only the southern part of the country that should vote without the north,we all know dat you people will loose woefully. your only comfort is Lagos and as we all know it's always a split vote Down there. you need d oda two southern region to achieve whatever you want to. the north can't give it to you,they won't won't leave theirs and vote for you
Your statement is an assumption of what the north will or will not do.

You will notice that my stats included parties. It is party performance by states and regions.
Politics is risk game and every party know this when selecting candidates. Yoruba is a political asset to any party. We are not a risk at all.

Here is what is almost certain -
APC will nominate a Yoruba in 2023 with a Northern VP.

If PDP nominates a Southerner it will be Yoruba , with a Northern VP.

Truth of the matter is if Nigeria distabilizes Africa will follow in its distabilization one form or another. Global powers would rather look away than condemn our leaders.

So lawmakers are getting ready to get a taste of a power bigger than them. In a democracy, party owns Assembly.

He knew what he was saying.
Many of them got there on their personal popularity and even bore the financial responsibilities of the campaigns themselves.

Why didn't smart win Dino, why didn't Ajimobi win?
It is mostly down to individual's popularity and spending prowess.
Election to Assembly is representative. If a party refuses to put its name (APC or PDP) on the ballot in Dino's constituency, how is he going to be in Assembly?

The party has contract with the constituency the candidate represents. Party can choose not to go into contract with a constituent, however popular its candidate is they wont go anywhere.

Look at Okorocha...he won but wont get certificate because party killed his victory.

It is lack of knowledge to say party did not contribute victory to the candidate's success.

Stop asking them the question because if you ask them a million times, they won’t have a response. They are all like a robot that is programmed to voice out the same rubbish from old to young. They accuse other people of what they have done again and again.

They were calling the Yorubas Fulani slaves until PDP brought out Atiku and they changed all of a sudden to Atikulator like if Atiku was Igbo.

In 2011, Yorubas voted overwhelmingly for Jonathan, infact he only lost in Osun State even as a PDP man considering the fact that ACN controls most state in Southwest.

In 2015, Jonathan still had a good showing even with Osinbajo on the ballot as our son. The result of 2015 election is maybe 58/42 in favor of APC, so where is the betrayal.

In 2019, even with the ethnic rubbish they all keep shouting, Atiku still got a reasonable vote from the Southwest, so where the hell is the rubbish betrayal these guys are shouting all time.

Stop trying to reason with them like they are sane, most of them are consumed with hate that they will never hold any reasonable conversation without spitting out the programmed rubbish hate and betrayal chant passed onto them by their parents.

Make they kuku divide this Nigeria make everybody leave Caz the hate by all tribes is too much and we forget we are all Africans. It’s so tiring that our enemies look exactly like us and I think the black nation needs to carry out a big research on why we can’t live together in unison without tribal fights.

It’s not only a Nigerian thing, it’s a general African problem and I don’t even think the coming generations will be free from it.
They have identified the word betrayal as a pressure button. Yoruba, instead of responding to it nonchalantly reacted emotionally.

If i call a strange number, i dont know who is at the other end. I dont even know if its a good number. If you pick it up you indicated to me the number is good. So now im going to keep it. When i have a product to sell im going to call and harass you. grin. If you didnt pick up when i rang it, i would think twice about saving it or ever calling back to it. Its a simple trick. grin grin

As much as i hate the disunity in South and also detest another northern president though am igbo,
i won't deny the fact that the south only has a slim chance of producing a president come 2023, only about 10-20% possibility of which would be placed 50-50 between SW nd SE
Many of you view North as one homogenous region but its not. They have division lines just like we do in South. You saw it creeped up in the just concluded presidential election.
