MansoryMX: We can’t have North retain power while it’s the turn of the South. The war beating like a drum in this country is inevitable come 2023. The stage is already set. I only pity a lot of here shouting Atikulate. Some of y’all will die in the next civil war.
Lol. Atiku Abubakar succeeding president Buhari is a catalyst to activation of the now dormant separatist groups in non-Fulani areas of Nigeria.
Nigeria's fraudulent political structure is at the gross advantage of Atiku to exploit in the election. Atiku's far north has spurned all attempts to change the skewed and lopsided political structure created by northern military dictators to favour Arewa far north.
Too much boast and verbosity. Who knows tomorrow? What if Jandor wins the guber election? After all, time has passed when Bola Tinubu used refusal of non Muslims in Lagos State the opportunity to register to vote, as his tool to control Lagos politics.
Lagos State of nearly 20 million people would barely produce 2 million votes at every election before now.
Agbegbaorogboye: Well, what I'm pointing out is that even with the imbalance, the North do not hold the aces as you assume. They still need one zone drum the South to meet up with the requirement just as the South also needs just one zone from the North. A United South is not beatable by the North and vice versa. So the imbalance is a myth. While state creation may have been carried out largely by the northern military establishment, it is important to also note that most state creation were product of agitation. Unlike the US where the states existed before US did, states in Nigeria are products of Nigeria. That's the major difference
The 36 states and Abuja political structure is a product of Northern Nigeria's military dictators, NEVER product of Nigeria. The product of Nigeria at independence is the three regions that formed independent Nigeria. Can you please name any criterion or criteria used for creating the 20 new federating units in one region - north, and 17 federating units in the two southern regions? Is there any other country in the world where soldiers, worse, soldiers from one side of a country, created the country's political structure and process, and the creation by military fiat lasted as long as Nigeria's? Finally, what do you think makes far north Nigeria resists political restructuring of Nigeria, if not for the fact that politicians of the far north understand that the 36 states political structure of Nigeria was skewed and lopsided?
Agbegbaorogboye: Interesting. I am not an Atiku spokesperson first of all. But let us bear in mind the South truncated the zoning as you claimed by voting Jonathan in 2011 despite the insistence of the North that it was still their turn after Yaradua died in office. Secondly, if we are to go by your analogy, the North should cry foul at independence since they got only one region while the "South" got two. The North was disadvantaged in terms of regional numbers then. How did it end? How did the North end up getting the central power to their side at independence? The answer will tell you why there cannot be equal number of states. That's besides the fact that even if states were to become contiguously delineated along tribal lines, the North will still have the higher share because there are more tribes up north than south. So what is your panacea to achieving balance in number of states between North and South?
Was there anywhere I mentioned that states should have been created on tribal criterion? No. What happened in state creation in Nigeria by northern soldiers can be likened to an unimaginable situation where a group of soldiers from the south of the USA took over the US government and divided the large states in the southern USA into say, 4 states each, but divided the smaller northern US states into 2 each, assign equal number of Senators to each of the states, supervise a Constitution that makes a US presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 2/3 of the total number of US states, as well as most popular votes before declared winner of US presidential election. That way, the south of the US largely decides who wins any US presidential election, as well as command the political process of the US.
LeoDeKing: Watch how illiterates following one 3rd class olodo who doesn't even know what green energy is all about, start "explaining" climate change.
Ask them to re explain themselves, they will rather get back with trailer load of insults and curses. Make una no worry, Nigerians will soon tell you clowns election is about choice, not about curses and empty threats.
But who are the Nigerians you have in mind? It's like you believe that election rigging will place Tinubu on top of us all as president of Nigeria. It's rig and die this time. Let me relate it to the blood of the dog and the baboon threat of your APC principal.
That poisoned Holly Communion speech must have come from an extreme Islamists. Guess why Tinubu accepted Shettima the Boko Haram sympathizer as running mate.
Agbegbaorogboye: A Tinubu supporter is posting this news to discredit Atiku. Do you realise this news will actually play to his favor in the North?
Let it play to Atiku's favour. Atiku succeeding president Buhari is a recipe for final disunification of Nigeria. Atiku knows that the lopsided political structure of Nigeria created by northern soldiers to favour Arewa is what he wants to exploit to become president, whereas the political structure was what necessitated zoning of the presidency between the north and the south of Nigeria starting from 1999 after 20 federating units were created by northern soldiers in one region - north, but left a meagre 17 federating units in two regions - west and east of Nigeria that formed independent Nigeria with the northern region in 1960. No other country except Nigeria ever used land mass or population figures as criteria to proliferate too many new federating units in a region with larger land mass or population. There should have been equal number of states between the three regions that formed independent Nigeria. A presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 states apart from winning the most popular votes, before declared winner of Nigeria's presidential election. This is what Atiku wants to exploit, after the southern regions have cried for years for restructuring of Nigeria democratically, but resisted by Arewa.
Murder of Deborah in Sokoto derived from the practice of Islamic Sharia criminal justice system. Atiku Abubakar was Nigeria's super VP when sharia mongers led by Sani Yerima, the then governor of Zamfara state, introduced the outdated punishment in sharia criminal justice system in the 12 northern sharia states. Atiku could have stopped Sani Yerima then. But Atiku looked the other way, acquiesced. Atiku was placed on PDP ticket as well as Shettima the Boko Haram sympathizer on APC ticket by the Talibans of Nigeria to continue with subtle Jihad against rest of Nigeria.
officialwdhtv: Peter Obi who is contesting against me lives in Lagos. I returned that state to law and order and rule of law. Peter Obi lives there. Atiku has property there - Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
Eastern Nigeria was the most peaceful place in Nigeria a few years ago before Islamists hiding under Esn turned the east to a place of insecurity, after they promised that the east would be made worse than the NE.
From all indicators, Tinubu must be happy for what his fellow Islamists did in the east of Nigeria.
Peter Obi shouldn't have time to reply a Tinubu who is suffering from Parkinsonism which affects the brain. Lagos is a cosmopolitan city built with the money from all parts of Nigeria. Loads of people from all the ethnic groups in Nigeria live in Lagos.
pinkPUSSY: Tinibu is such a fraudulent character that should never be trusted!!
Modified: I think some urchings supporting Tinubu are having problem with English language
Go and check the meaning of "Recant"
Tinubu's supporters are senseless. If not, who in his or her right senses would support Tinubu suffering from speech defects from Parkinsonism to be his or her president?
Amb1045: Obi for president. Gumi is fighting for an interest of common man in the northern part of the country. I am not trying to justify his negotiations capabilities with bandits rather as a man when you hit the bed rock of life you will find a way to uplift yourself reason I don't attack APC or PDP people that much. Most of them has hit the bed rock of life(reason you see people supporting a tribalistic criminal like Atiku and a verified sick drug lord like Tinubu) they can do anything to survive same as bandit.
But few of us that still believe in integrity will still do the right thing at the right time. It's now boils down to us to convinced others to accept the best option instead of putting their personal interest first. Let's us come out and vote obi/datti for a reform Nigeria
In bold. Sheik Gunmi understands that the absence of a true federal governance system in Nigeria is the root cause of Boko Haram and its offshoot - the banditry phenomenon.
Did she present the honours to Tinubu in Nigeria or in London, because Tinubu is believed to have been flown out of Nigeria again for medical treatment?
seunmsg: I can bet Peter Obi got the advice to call for the arrest of Tinubu’s daughter from a mad man from upper Iweka.
But wait o, is this the same lady Peter Obi supporters have been telling us that she’s 68 years? How’s this pretty young mama 68 years? Truly, Na mad people dey run things for Peter Obi camp.
Tinubu's present wife and Tinubu's daughter, which is older than the other? Monkey de work, baboon de chop. All agberos who have been working for Tinubu for years remain poor, while Tinubu gets brand new wife and gets richer.
lhordspy: Accuses her of coaxing traders who failed to attend the women's rally in support of her father, Bola Ahmed Tinubu's presidential rally to pay fine.
Oracleforce: Tinubu and Atiku are friends and colleagues expect Obituary Pthief who.isnone of the Ipob piglets crew Nyamiri....idiot
Stinking mindset is not helping you and Tinubu. Tinubu, Atiku and Buhari formed the APC which has reduced Nigeria to be a country harboring the largest number of poor, hungry, most terrorised and most indebted people on earth.
Weyrey US and EU still dey use Coal as Energy sources, they wouldn't issue Africa or middle east nuclear power lisence yet talk about climate change policy
I only beg Zombidiots to please listen to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Colloquium, the 13 years different episodes and see reasons we need this man at this critical time.... His policies have been outlined a decade ago with update everytime
.
Remember that during his presidential campaign, MKO Abiola consistently asked for reparations to Africa from Western powers because of slave trade. If it's true, as Kperogi posits, that Tinubu wanted to challenge Western powers over Climate change matters, Tinubu is a beginner. Western powers don't joke over climate change policy. He will see but will never enter Aso Rock as president of Nigeria.
successmatters: Dementia is a very wicked illness, what about using "poisoned cake"
Who poisons a holy communion?
How can a rat eat holy communion that is always sealed?
"Thousands of bags of oil" Farook Kperugi, come and defend that one? Old people should be remanded at old people's home.
Not every old person. Whenever Obasanjo speaks today, one can see he is healthy and makes sense all through. Obasanjo is assumed to be older than Tinubu. Tinubu is sick with Parkinsonism, has speech defects, therefore, deserves to be in old people's home.
Great speech by a known doer. Not like the speeches and unfulfilled promises of 2015 by the trio of Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku in APC. Nigeria now harboring the largest number of poor, hungry, most terrorised and most indebted people on earth, is the outcome of the trio's speeches and promises of 2015.
Tinubu and Atiku in APC made similar promises they made today in the north, except Tinubu's promise of completing gas pipelines from the south to the north.
Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku APC conspiracy in 2014 has made Nigeria the country harboring the largest number of poor, hungry, most terrorised and most indebted people in the world.
