Can you help me find out why FriedBurger banned me till 2106??

Why did Seun employ one with "Burger-Brain" as a Mod??

He has unbanned you, and he gave this message: "There should be a mistake somehow somewhere. Sorry about that"

Please forgive and let go. cheers!

PointB: It has always been like that - Nigeria politics. There is nothing happening now that is new. Even if GEJ were to leave power and the Hausa/Fulani (core North) take the reigns, eventually power will drift back to the South, and history will repeat itself. Baseline argument remains that Nigeria MUST change, must restructure. This can't be achieved by doing business as usual. Was it a risky strategy for GEJ to break bond with the 'mafia'? Yes! Was it the right thing to do? Certainly Yes!

Now what Nigerian's need to do is to stand by him, and support him to break this yoke need to reposition the country's fortune. But sadly, most are not seeing the bigger picture, they are carried away by propaganda fuel by ethnic hatred and intolerance. Fortunately, there are those who are willing to stand by him to help him navigate periods like this. And we say again, this too shall pass, and GEJ will remain till 2019.

This makes a lot more sense than your initial argument. This is Nigeria politics and some things don't change overnight, but through a long, carefully well thought out plan. Like it or hate it, the North seems to be ahead of The South in planning and executing well thought out strategy. Reason I laugh when people think the Northerners are illiterates and unwise.

GEJ made a lot of miscalculations, he narrowed his base and support to the East of the Niger and trusted only lightweights from other parts of the country. He cannot also play the North Vs South card, because while breaking away from Obasanjo, he also burnt the bridge to South West. If only he had maintained the alliance he had with Tinubu pre-2011 while breaking away from OBJ, before Buhari/North made an alliance with Tinibu, then it would have been easier for him to play that card.

A day they say its too long in politics, so anything can still happen and change in Nigeria political equation before 2015. But if the present status quo remains till 2015, then GEJ should forget the Presidency. There is only one card he has left to play as rightly put in the article, "If I cant have it, I will break the whole damn thing", Even that wont be easy but that it is easier for him to achieve that than win presidency in 2015.
