They denied zoning the presidency this time. All cannot be well again. Northern military dictators used state creation to engender citizens inequality in Nigeria. The lopsided political structure necessitated zoning of the presidency between the north and the south beginning 1999, until this year when zoning was killed because it's the turn of the SE.
alanto: I don't know how I'm able to do it but men, I'm mostly always able to tell when something seem right. I remember the year I fell in love with Ronaldo, he won trophies and personal awards. When Kendrick Lamar made Good kid, Mad city. I told my friend men this guy is pac reincarnation except he also have this feel of being a 2 Pac 2.0. Me and my friend laughed about it, I get him to listen once in a while when we chill but then Kendrick Released the masterpiece "To love-vendor A Butterfly" Long story short the album got 13 nominations and won 4 grammies in one night, you need to know how that made me feel. The most grammy nominations was held by Michael Jackson whom had 11 nominations. Story of Chance The Rapper was another, he went ahead to win 3 grammies in one night. My ex complained that I bore her with Chance music.
Now this brought me to BAT. I fell in love with BAT in 1999, there were different malicious attack on his person, I was very young but it kind of felt weird, there was this Cartoon I saw in Alaroye at the time, they wrote "Mo lo si ilewe Toronto" This was when they were dragging his school certificates with him. As a teen what I loved was how he stood his ground and fought everything, the way we love actors in movies, then he went ahead to perform well as a governor. I have a family member that benefited directly from Jigi Bola, he got his cataract fixed and he got glasses.
One more thing I learned yesterday to this morning is that power is not handed out to anybody. You fight for it if you want it. Whatever comes out as the result of this primary Tinubu fought a good fight. And I love it. I send love to all of you Tinubu lovers and haters alike.
God bless all the region, religion, and people of Nigeria. God bless Nigeria. In our time we will see Nigeria become great. Amen.
alanto, Tinubu fan?
But alanto's online campaigns for Tinubu amount to demarcating Tinubu.
JohnBullMySon: I wonder why you guys just keep on shading yourselves. The truth here is that, if the south remains divided, power won't come down. It's as clear as daylight.
No southerner can win Nigeria's presidential election if northern region supports a northern presidential candidate.
In 2023, Igbo shall vote Peter Obi;
Yoruba shall vote Ahmed Tinubu,; Hausa/Fulani/Tiv shall vote Abubakar Atiku. None of the candidates shall win. The emerging stalemate shall lead to political restructuring of Nigeria. Buhari can't succeed in using the opportunity of stalemate to continue or to ask for Fulani-led military coup. The way Tinubu successfully challenged Buhari, even insulted him to bend to Tinubu's desire, is an example of how weak and vulnerable Buhari is.
The Opc and Amotekun in ikere Ekiti intercepted two trucks loads of fulani.
According to Ekiti trends on Twitter, they were alleged to be transporting arms hidden under grass sheets.
They are Libyans, not Fulani. How can Fulani want to kill their fellow Nigerians, especially, Yorubas?
No southern Nigerian has had the gut to say the truth that adoption of unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws by political and religious leaders of the 12 sharia states, brought Boko Haram to Nigeria.
bennybuhari: good news. seem the bandits are also celebrating Tinubu's win
Islamists showing pepper to all in Nigeria.
See how two Muslims are to contest next year's presidential election for one of them to succeed another Muslim. In a Nigeria nearly equally divided between Muslims and Christians.
Waterangel: Who ordered end sars shooting and killed unarmed youths? Who tried escaping from Nigeria during end sars? What was pursuing him? Who installed a Northern dictator to the detriment of his Southern brothers (Remember there is One North) but who always betrays the South), The rumors of yesterday should be an eye opener to what will be by next year. Whatever you sow you shall reap, Shalom!
Atiku all the way!!!
Wrong.
One Atiku in charge of Nigeria is worse than 100 Tinubus in charge of Nigeria.
Jashub: You're just living in delusions . Where were these "youths " in the last elections? Why didn't they come out then ...why now? Mtchww. Better do yourself a favor and stop aligning with clueless people who don't know what they want in life
Lol. For your type, it's the Almajiris and the street urchins that have clues.
Sorry for this Lord Lugard one Nigeria dumping of people who want to remain in the dark ages forever together with people who want to advance to modernity fast
JEWELofHELL: https://twitter.com/atiku/status/1534531661051871235?s=19[/quote]Nigerians have another 7 months to think deeper. Think of how to get rid of PDP and APC from governance. There are hardly any differences between PDP and APC. Both parties have made Nigeria to become the country with the highest number of hungry and poor people, with hardly any electricity supply, and saddled with the highest level of insecurity. No normal person will vote APC or PDP during the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria.
Corporate2020: They said he is vengeful, yet his political sons and daughters are more than the population of some local governments in the South East because they are all in Lagos holdups selling Gala and La Casera and sleeping under bridges built by Tinubu's boys.
A vengeful political godfather will not have so many sons and daughters in high places.
Check out the real vengeful man, Olusegun Obasanjo, how many of his political sons and daughters can you mention if he even has any?
Foolishness is thinking that APC party primaries is the presidential election proper.
blancsn1: Youth that are yearning for Lagos template across Nigeria so wretched igbos like you will desist from escaping from your Igbo state on drive to Lagos to slave your miserable souls away.
Dirty. In and out. Who can live under the same roof with this one?
seunmsg: Shine your eyes and see the logo, the First Lady is Batified.
Batified for what?
Batified to continue with no electricity supply in Nigeria.
Batified to continue to continue with excess borrowing for Nigeria from foreign powers.
Batified to support Islamic sharia criminal justice system in the northern states, thus legitimize Boko Haram which says that it's fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.
Batified to continue with ASUU strike, Western Education is Haram.
No, because APC is a conspiratorial political party aimed by braindead persons to deprive infrastructural development in the southeast. But once any part of a country is deprived of infrastructure, it badly affects the rest of the country.
I expect many of them, mostly from the north, to move to pdp to support Atiku.
But the period Atiku Chaired the wedding ceremony of Buhari's kid was when the plot to make Atiku succeed President Buhari started.
Only that the Tinubus of the SW APC couldn't see. If Tinubu SW APC had not thwarted zoning at the beginning, northern presidential aspirants wouldn't have emerged. Without zoning, no Tinubu, Okorocha, Osinbajo, Obasanjo, Jonathan, Umahi, or any presidential candidate from the south, can win presidential election in Nigeria if the north is massivy supporting a northern presidential candidate.
The Northern politicians are stylishly throwing their support for Atiku
South doesn't exist. Tinubu SW APC underlined the fact that there is no southern region in Nigeria. What we have is Western, Eastern and Northern region - like ir was at the formation stage of Nigeria in 1960.
Patriotic9ja: Turn of who? [b]You don't want to work but [/b]want to chop. Weaklings
In APC: You have worked hard to reduce electricity generation from 4000MW in 2015 to less than 1000MW today.
You have worked hard to use APC to bring insecurity to intolerable limits all over Nigeria.
You have worked hard with APC to make Nigerians become financially indebted to foreign powers like never before. You have worked well to use APC to have universities remain closed all over Nigeria.
KUDOS, Hard worker. You are working harder to throw Nigeria into chaos.
Una go bring charlatans as presidential candidates in the two largest political parties and try to use government machinery to force a win for one of the candidates. Igbos will observe your foolishness and will decide not to vote. You tell yourselves that you are politically smart.
Lindseyrd: I still disagree with you sir.Jonathan is a southerner and won almighty Atiku and Buhari in the north.You need two of the major ethnic groups to win in Nigeria.The only reason we are giving this undeserving credit to the north is because of lack of political cooperation between Yorubas and the Igbos.There is no way Igbos will vote Yoruba if you had Hausa and Yoruba on ballot box
Igbos voted Obasanjo when an Hausa was on ballot.
Igbos voted Abiola when an Hausa was on the ballot.
Igbos voted for Yar'Adua at the right time.
Igbos don't vote from ethno-religious considerations. Instead, Igbos retire to their homes if there is no reasonable candidate to vote for president.
Lindseyrd: I respectfully disagree with you sir.There is no region that can produce the president of Nigeria on its own.There has to be cooperation with one of the major ethnic groups.The Eastern Nigeria always allied with the North to produce the president.This is not because of the love they have for the north but to spite the Western Nigeria. I honestly don’t know of someone that wants to reap from where they did not sow.Why did the Igbos want to get a ticket of the party they don’t belong to! They have forever been voting PDP since 1999 and not found worthy by their slaves master to fly their flag. The Yorubas understand how to manage the northerners on the basis of mutual respect.The cry out recently by Tinubu was to remind them about the respect.Yorubas did in APC what the Igbos couldn’t do in PDP.
APC has given enough reward to Tinubu SW APC- Vp for 8 years, president Buhari placed Tinubu's boy, Fowler, in charge of Internal Revenue Office, the 2nd money spinning machine after crude oil in Nigeria, APC built the first standard gauge rail lines in the SW, but none in the old SE region where Nigeria gets its major revenue from; President Buhari placed former Lagos State governor to man 3 largest departments - Power, Housing and Works. Tinubu with his SW APC wants excess reward now asking for presidential seat after President Buhari. How is that going to work?
Addme: Now you see that you need the common sense more because you should know it was Abiola effect that brought about two Yorubas leading the two parties in 1999. So when you are ready to answer my question,I will engage you more but for now no time for time waster.....
.... so what brought about Yar'Adua becoming president after Obasanjo, if not consideration for zoning?
Abiola effect or not, fact is that after years of north ruling through military dictators, Nigerians acquiesced to zone the presidency to the SW through having a Yoruba to succeed north's Abubakar Abdulsalami.
Lindseyrd: You’re talking as if Atiku is unbeatable.He is a serial loser!Norther is very much beatable in the North,as long as you have a candidate that they are comfortable with.Abiola beat Tofa in his ward.
Abiola contested when Nigeria's political structure has not become as skewed and lopsided, as it is since 1996 after Abacha did the last state creation.
A presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 states, before proclaimed winner. A northern presidential candidate supported by northern politicians can easily win 25% of votes in all the 19 northern states, then scout for 25% of votes in 5 southern states to be declared winner. It's most difficult for a Southern presidential candidate to win 25% of votes in 24 states.
