Quite revealing though to be frank without these revelations, every grown up (mentally) knows that men like buhari with such grudges are not meant to rule a modern serious country.

Some said he's a fool while others claim he's senseless but one is certain, listening to this man gives you much insight into the problems of Nigeria ... The northern way of doing things has really set this country backward. We are a special country and must use a special means to reach our peak. If only equity and equality is enshrined in our nature , giving everyone a sense of belonging, what a great nation we would have been.

For some Southerners supporting all these nonsense cause of party patriotism or for some other reasons , I pity your life , that of your children , that of your grand children and even your great grand children cause as long this system continues , there will be disunity which will continue the chaotic situation of this country. I say hail all those northerners who have stand on the truth for the love of these country. God bless Nigeria

yoruba people are not interested in forming any southern alliance with you. There is nothing like southern unity and there will never be. I support nigeria disintegration though but you guys should stay your lane while we stay on ours.
Simple!!!

Don't think you get the gist, you don't need the alliance with other southerners but your leaders seriously need it to keep their boy in the prime position..

That was a lovely write up, very thoughtful and informative.. Haven't read such political opinion in a longtime so let me chip my own opinion .

Of a truth this is the status que in the mind of many yourbas esp the Tinubu machinery and let me say its not a bad thing to wish for in a political situation but the thing about these set of Yoruba leaders (Tinubu and co) is that they lack intelligence and over estimated.. Don't understand how they don't know that the SE and SS will be out for them in any political game from now on, cause the truth is this , the northerns understands politics and once they know the SW is all alone, they will not call them a threat.

Even if anything happens to Buhari, don't be surprise if they collide with the SE and SS to change the constitution to suit them cause SW wouldn't have much support to gain.

So my point is this , instead of Bisi Akande and other Tinubu's men crying foul, they should find a way to start reconnecting with their south brothers and thus have a solid weight to plead their case.

Bilulu, you can only score a goal only when you make attempts , if can push yourself through the muddy waters and come forward then you will be surprised what can happen in your favor.

I think the only chance of Ribadu winning the 2019 presidency is if the president does the needful and don't contest for reelection, thus annoiting Ribadu as his successor.
As for the second man, there is chance , I repeat no chance for 2019.

Who to support wud depend on the faces presented by the various political party. Don't forget we still have some part of 2017 and a whole 2018 to rediscover or for some politician to decide on wat dey want .. U talk abt a northern election but I don't see that happening .. I think a southerner wud take advantage of the loop hole created by buhari and the brick wall between buhari and the east .. Somebody must see the opening and utilise it. . remember ,u don't need the vote of everybody , u just need 2/3rd of the nation's vote

Dreams comes true, Trump became president against all odds so a Southern can be a president in that angle but history has taught us that such occurrence comes once in a long while.. I really think 2019 is a northern affairs

I beg to differ, I don't think atiku is the right man for the job. He had his chance and he scuffed it ..I dnt like power rotating around the same Pple of ex power holders.let us have fresh politician with a little genuine interest for the nation .. But in conclusion , atiku cant win a normal election if voters vote are to be considered . I doubt if he wud get anything from south ,east and west . ...

I share same opinion with you about a new face buy the political reality is that 2019 will be a northern affair, and the two biggest weights are Buhari and Atiku.. I have the opinion of men like the Emir of Kano( Sanusi), Ribadu , even the controversial El rufai running for the presidency in 2019 but all these are just dreams..

Always remember that Goodluck was a fresh face and look how he went. Let me also correct the impression that the SE or SS will not vote for Atiku, they will go for anything against Buhari and even half of the SW will follow suit... The level of nepotism exhibited by Buhari against the south does not have part 2, like I said earlier they will wait for their time to strike .

"I must confess that never in my life have I seen a potential president with such real knowledge of the problems of this nation as he does"


All, All, ALL Potential Office holders have a real knowledge of what's wrong, they always talk the talk and never walk the walk.

Atiku shouldn't be campaigning for the primaries of any party let alone running for the Presidency, we need new and fresh ideas and Atiku doesn't fit into that narrative in any foggy way.

You're right , most of the them probably have the knowledge but boldly stating the solution is another thing. Let me say this, Atiku is a northerner and standing on this action (Restructuring) is almost haram in the north, so for this one , he's a bold man.

There is something about elections in this country that most people don't understand, the candidates presented by the parties are the only choice of the people.. Trust me, most people that campaigned and voted for Buhari or Jonathan did so only cause its the choice available...

So if Atiku gets through that first phase and stands as the flag bearer of a party then the chase is on..

Perseverance , they said is one of the true character of a leader cause it comes with great faith. The mystery surrounding this man (Atiku) made me to start believe in the revelation of El rufai about his tango with marabouts and their prophecy about his ascension to the exalted seat..
Being an anti Atiku for many years, I have never seen him in such a position or opportunity as now to finally achieve his dreams.. With his steadfast campaign of restructuring and a well detailed plan of action, I must confess that never in my life have I seen a potential president with such real knowledge of the problems of this nation as he does..
This leads to the question, is this his time?? You can call him whatever name but if there is one thing I have learnt in this country , there is no saint but rather 2 kinds of sinners , the one seeking redemption and the persistent sinner. If he Atiku comes clean with the truth and maintain this campaign mantra(restructuring) then I for one think he will finally get his chance..

My permutation is simply , disintegrating Nigeria into federating units sounds appealing to the southern Nigeria and even some parts of the NC, coupled with his place of Origin (NE) , am sure he can get the meanful vote he need. My bet is that he will run in a new party and will show the effort to unify the country.. The truth is that most part of the country is fed up with this movie Buhari but many still hide behind this truth waiting for their chance to strike. Buhari will definitely run for 2019 using APC as the platform and this is when the trouble starts.


What's your opinion on this analysis?? Pls be rational and not emotional.

Hello, can I get a copy of that book pls . mail is bikenelson@yahoo.com

Thanks

All hail

[quote author=989900 post=53885713]The president is still alive, first wish him quick recovery and objectivity in tackling the Forex issue which is the bane of our present predicament .


I pray the president recovers but my write up was based on probabilities based on the status quo

FriendChoice:
This is just your own opinion. Nothing will happen if Buhari dies (God forbid), Osinbanjo will be sworn in as the President. While North will support him to complete Buhari's first tenure. Issues will only arise if he desires to contest in 2019 election.

The North's support of Gej thought them a lesson , once a president starts consolidating power , it can become difficult to control

Not praying for worst but as intellectuals, we must alway prepare for the worst case scenarios. What will Tinubu do if anything happens to Buhari, this is the real question on his mind. Knowing that he's a strategist , he's probably already trying to sort out the the next game. To the ordinary Nigerians with shallow mind , its simple, the acting president takes full charge but for those that understand the dynamics of Nigeria politics, they know there is real trouble ahead

The north will be all out for blood, they will never be bitten twice and will do everything possible to claim back the throne and their number one target will be TINUBU. The major problem with been very good anything is letting pride come in, pride equates foolishness and i think he made that mistake in not planning for unforseen contingencies. He turned his back on other southerns and even when he achieved his great height , he never look to make amends. There is this thing about shaking and encouraging the losers after a bitter game , this is what he failed to do thinking that the winner takes it all.

The drama I see that will be at play will be the swearing in of the acting president as the president but with a little time be impeached by the senate and this will be a combined forces of the North , SE and SS , making way for a powerful Northern who will made the VP to eventually become the president.. This I know that Tinubu knows and will be thinking very much what to do. Infact , it might be better for the Buhari to continue than his boy becoming the president and bringing war.

The acting president's move of touring the SS and SE shows he's a smart man. Already the game is beginning. Let me know your opinions

Sometimes I wonder if there is anything like true relationship in Nigeria , most ladies and guys are just into agreement, he gives money , she gives affection. The most annoying thing is that each party knows this, once you stop giving money, she starts drawing back or start opening her bad attitudes.. If you think yours is different, try not giving her money for awhile ..

The funny thing is that 90% of Nigerian girls will definitely move to another richer Nigga if the opportunity calls without even thinking twice about you.

If really Nigerians are sane , 2019 election will have men like Sanusi (Emir) as the president, Adesina (ADP President) as the Vice president and Peter Obi as the SGF... In 2023, Peter Obi could rise for presidency , Ribadu as Vice president and Fashola as SGF. With team as this , Nigeria will have a future cause these guys will bring professionally sanitize our polity.

If Nigeria is a sane country , the senate and House of Rep will be merged as one and only corporate dress code should accepted for the executives, legislative and judiciary, countries like China, Turkey, japan with longer history of culture and traditions had to adopt these dress code to be taken serious by the rest of the world..

If only Nigeria is a sane country, the push for regionalism will be stronger where each region will have a prime minister with power over the governors and each region will positively compete with other regions.

Can keep writing but I know its totally useless cause Nigeria is insane.

Kidnapping is not common here.. Just want to meet friends
