To the joke section please!
The southerners are advocating for more births to match the growing northerners and you are outlawing a major source to the realisation

Wise girl.

Eziachi:
In the same Africa in 1983 NPN riggin machine told us that SHAGARI beat NNAMDI AZIKIWE in Anambra state for instance, so based on your theory Anambrarian so much love Shagari over Zik since you vote person and not party and that why parties like ANC is irrelevant in South Africa and Jacob Zuma won the presidency because he was so loved by South Africans.

I will remind all of you this particular theory of personality over party tht sold so well in this election soon rather than later.

We will all be alive and well to analyse the theory very soon my brother.

I have heard it over and over: "We voted for a personalty and not the party", like the party will not have any influence on the personalty voted.

Eko Ile:
That didn't happen, it was nothing but a sidewalk rumor and fabrication.

Peddling rumor to prove a point is not good for our you, me and our public discuss.

Btw, is it possible for 13 million registered voters to switch sides and still ignore the polls by staying away and refusing to cast their votes for anybody? You mean the 13 million registered voters all over the SW called each other and planned the whole thing overnight?

Get it Eko Ile, Lagosboy has answered your question over and over. They stayed back because they were not mobilized. Mobilization is key in every election. And this is why some are accusing ACN/Tinubu.

OP. let me help you with the link. He spoke to BBC News.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13126971

You'll also find the audio on the link.

Gen Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner, told the BBC the violence was sad, unwarranted and criminal.

Some of the rioters have been alleging ballot-rigging, but the former military leader said he wanted to disassociate himself and his party from the clashes.

"In the last 24 hours, there has been a spate of violence in the country: this has included the burning of churches and is a sad, unfortunate and totally unwarranted development," he said in a statement.

"I must emphasise that what is happening is not ethnic, religious or regional."

Seun:
When and where?  I'd like to read what he told them.  Thanks!

On BBC.

His main rival, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner, told the BBC the violence was sad, unwarranted and criminal.

Thank you dear. Its 8.56am here.

Can I have something nice for breakfast pls?

why are you angry? who/what upset you?

I also think 2015 belongs to a new set of National political leaders.

I would be surprised to still find the likes of Obj, Aninin, Buhari, IBB, Ciroma, Danjuma, Edwin Clerk, Ekweme and the likes in active politics by 2015.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=649066.msg8159142#msg8159142 date=1303166900]CPC will be dead within 4 years. Buhari is not a planner or nurturer. If he has a fruit tree outside of his house, it has probably withered away due to neglect  [/quote]I think you are wrong. If anything CPC has just become the core North 'ACN', even though I would have wish it turns out to be a national party. Some of the governors that will be elected on Saturday under its platform with the likes of El Rufai will most likely drive it forward. Remeber in 2006 not many people know there is a performing Fashola in Lagos. 4 years is such a long time in politics to make such prediction.

mbulela:
you pick ACN form??
are you ready to prostrate at Bourdillon mansion?

Am surprised as well. I thought he will be among the younger generation that will take over and build CPC into a more formidable national party.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=649668.msg8158848#msg8158848 date=1303163688]This is a joke right?  [/quote]How can it be a joke? Did Buhari call for violence in 2003 and 2007 after his loss?

Princek12:
Use your brain and use facts to support it. How can you say the south would have resorted to violence like those Almajiris if GEJ had lost. For 38 years, Northerners have rigged themselves into power. How many times has the south resorted to these barbaric acts after their candidate lost an election?

My dear you are the one that need to check the facts. Electoral violence has never been limited to any region of the country since Independence. Pls read up.

I tried as much as possible to refrain myself from posting on this thread, but the more I read a number of posts here the more I feel pained about a good number of us.

It does not require a rocket scientist to know that there will be pockets of unrest/violence here and there after the election no matter the outcome.

If Buhari has won am sure SS will be boiling as we speak and I wonder how many of us will hold GEJ responsible as we are holding Buhari responsible for this violence.

I am not against GEJ calling on Buhari and all other people of influence in the North to reach out to the troublemakers, but beyond that, what other measures were taken before and after the election to forestall peace?

This is a period we all need to refrain ourselves from making comments that will only overheat the situation. All these name callings is not the solution if anything it portrays many of us as equal to the almajeris we blame and condemn.

some of your pictures are old pictures, are you sure of what you are posting?

This is barbaric, totally uncalled for and makes me sick. I just hope it's photoshoped

Lagosboy:
You are looking at politics from a southern perspective. You have to look at it as well from a nothern perspective, ACN is labelled a regional party for a reason of which it is true. Ribadu needs to be accepted in his base for him to have any political success , this is the reality. Once you have a base you can form any alliance you have. Ribadu might be better of if he joins buhari now as he will have acceptance in the north , this is the reality. Northern politics is different from SW politics, they are miles apart.

+1

Gbawe:
I am with you on that one and that is why I wrote above that :
Much as I like and respect Buhari , what I write above was his weakness IMO . I[b]f Ribadu, Fashola, El Rufai and other progressives can join hands to practice modern and cutting edge opposition politics[/b] then the PDP , if they continue to mess up , will surely go in 2015 . Jonathan won because many saw him as a good guy in a bad Party.  4 years of "business as usual" leadership from GEJ will make it easy for him to be dismissed if the opposition has not been asleep and disunited . Folks will drop the "good man in a bad Party" illusion with 4 years of poor leadership from GEJ.  

Man mi , you are from the SW . Why not join us in the ACN? I plan to run for office in 2015 myself . I accept some of your criticism of the ACN but it is the best platform in the SW right now and it can be made better if progressive folks continue to strengthen the ideological backbone of the Party.

I really desire the bold but I doubt there will be any serious merger among the Northern and Southern progressives anytime soon. Not the way ACN is presently structured and managed by Tinubu. I agree he is a necessary evil for the emancipation of the SW. But imagine a situation where your political ambition in ACN is only feasible if Tinubu and not majority of the party members approves it. Also I doubt other progressives from other zones will want to touch ACN as it is. Not until it is clear ACN does not stand for Asiwaju Congress of Nigeria. Mind you I am form Lagos SW.

And may I remind you that the dream of one progressive party did not start in December 2010. What happened to all the merger talks/meetings? Why was it not possible for Falae, Buhari, Bafarawa, Utomi and Tunubu to agree to work together? How are we sure the same reasons will not stop any future merger talk? IMO, the personal interests of  some of the key progressives members still override our collective national interest. I wish am wrong but I see the status quo remaining for a long while.

I wish you and lagosboy well in your political career and I hope with time we will get to know each other better.

I wish that Ribadu bounces back. I really wish.

OMG! So sad!

I wish to congratulate every member of this group and appreciate your time, energy, efforts, money and other contributions we all made towards the actualization of BB2011 dream. For the 1st time in my life I found a reason to campaigne and give my personal resources towards a campaign and I have no regret whatsoever.

The presidential election has come and gone, we have had our say and majority have had their way and I congratulate Jonathan and his supporters.

It was Aldous Huxley that said "Each country gets the leader it deserves” I believe Nigeria deserve Goodluck Jonathan. Whether for the right or for the wrong reasons, time will tell.

Let me end with a quote from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, with the words of Cassius to Brutus:

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings"[/size]

jennykadry:
I say so queen. 6months is enuff time to fall inlove even a month sef. I don't believe in all this fb/internet dating without actually seeing the person and calling it love.I will tell you a story. I knew my husband for months,  wasn't interested in an intimate relationship with him and wanted just friendship. A kenyan friend of mine I remember back then was the one that even opened my eyes to the fact I might be inlove with him but haven't realised it yet. Lol I'm actually the type that if I don't like you ,i do not wanno see you talkless of agreeing to go out for a cup of coffe/cappucino.  I used to go out for a ''cuppa'' with him on platonic level . There was a time he did not call me for a drink for weeksss and I wasn't happy about it, that was when it kinda like clicked that hey I might really ''like'' this guy. Anyways when he finally called and we went out one day, that was the day I sat down and really took a good look ar this guy and I asked myself. . . . . . what the fcukkk was I doing when i told this guy I only want it to be platonic?''  that day I believe was was the day I really ''met  and talked with him'' and realized that I was inlove with this guy but never realized it.

What i'm I trying to say,6 months is enuff to fall inlove with someone even enuff sef to propse, it does not take a year to fall in love.

Yeah I remember! hmnnn memories! I still remember what you did to me after that meeting, I was dazed! Twas like; 'was this not the gurl that was asking for a platonic thing?' Did I tell you I ran back to the coffee shop to find out if they put anything special in your cup of cappucinno that day? Hmnnnnnnnn good memories.

Yes we got married in less than 6 months after that meeting and she had my 1st baby 4 months after. Dont you dare ask me when she conceived. . . that is personal.
