Hear them: presidency is a democratic office and not a rotational position. This country is bound to collapse totally. These are the fools that propagated that presidency should return to the North in 2014. Now they have what they want, the story changes. These people think South are cowards, we will spell the language they understand for them very soon. The saboteurs like Femi Adesina, Lai Muhammad, Chris Ngige and that supreme court governor will find the heat to hot to bear. We are watching with keen interest
Well said.

The process of producing the next president should be settled democratically and based on the structure of each political party. I am a northerner and I like Tinubu to be the next president, but not on the basis of sentiment against the North
We in the south don’t want him. Their time is up!

I don't care about rotational presidency cos it is undemocratic but I'm happy because this will hasten the process disintegration cos the south will never agree for another northerner to be president.

On the issue of resource control see how they are making decisions as if the resources are generated in the northern part.

100% resource control is the way to go or Nigeria kuku divides.

Lagos population alone is more than that of 3 African countries combined and if Lagos uses all the funds it generates to develop the state, it will be a paradise.

It is now clear that the North has very hidden plan against Nigeria and the south.

They are talking of their population that is even causing problem to the nation.

LET THE SOUTH FRONT ONE CANDIDATE PLEASE OOOO. AT THIS POINT I DONT CARE AGAIN. TINUBU, AMAECHI, UMAHI anyone abeg
They are counting on using underage voters and foreigners from Niger and Chad to overwhelm the south in elections as well as rigging......that's why they don't want to go digital with our elections.

The way things are going.... Nigeria may eventually divide into North and South..... Cos the South Will vote massively for a Southern and the North will vote massively for a Northerner.

The North can't retain power beyond 2023 never,they are just making noise because if they try it,the kind of resistance they will face from a united South will be unimaginable.
16 years of uninterrupted Fulani rule?

breaking news, "Currently, We Have Two Sets Of Laws In Nigeria" -

We have the law for the North and the law for the South.

In the North, terrorists are called bandits, government negotiate with them and pay them huge amount of money for their terrorism.

In the South, unarmed freedom fighters are called terrorists, government arrest them and even kill them at will.

In the North, police don’t arrest criminals or extort motorists.

In the South, police arrest innocent citizens and extort motorists.

In the North, Islamic police (Hisbah) arrest Nigerian police for drinking alcohol.

In the South, police arrest vigilantes that drink alcohol and label them criminals.

In the North, Northern youths can kill innocent Southerners and no one will arrest them.

In the South, Southern youths get arrested for attacking armed Fulani herdsmen.

How will people believe in One Nigeria with these treatments?
God bless you bro

Good morning Southerners oh.
But how do some people think/believe that after what the North/Fulani has done under Buhari's tenure that they will agree to give power to the South so that they will do them their own back?
I taya oh! If na u, with u surrender power to tortured in returned? Them die there oh! Its urgly on the other side they won't want to be there

Actually they are right u can’t compel them because it’s not in the constitution, it has to be agreed upon, same way the North couldn’t stop Jonathan from contesting after completing yaradua’s 1st tenure and even contesting 2 other tenures, the 1 which he won and 2nd which he lost to Buhari.

Rotation is and understanding based on circumstances not on law. If u are objective they are right. That said it doesn’t mean they can’t agree with the south if properly discussed and pushed bt u can’t compel them.


2ndly and more importantly than even what the North thinks is the question of the unity of the south. Is the south really united now??

Will Igbo’s support a candidate from south west or will Yoruba’s support an Igbo candidate?? This is the big problem not what the North are saying. Lol
if only the two tribes can work as one for the benefit of all. Let's put the Yoruba man for the president and an Igbo man as vice President, or the other way round

Don’t think that mix will fly. South as president and also as vp. It’s like saying North as president and vp. How does that sound?? undecided

Buhari is a curse to the fulanis.obviously ,they are on panic mode.They are are simply confused,a fight between the fulanis and southern nigeria is what every igbo man is praying for. Just like them,we dont forget.

There is no problem if the northerners don't want the power to be shifted to the southerner let's everybody stay on his own very simple.
Re: Northern Elders, Groups Reject Southern Governors’ Position On Power Shift by Ugonna62: 1:21pm On Jul 07, 2021
From all indications Nigeria is having her last breath,.this shameless Elders are still living in fools paradise,your numerical strenght will be useless if the major pol.parties refuse to give their ticket to a Southerner in 2023.

A United South will always be a big threat to the North.
Quota system & Nepotism should also be abolished since we are practicing Democracy.
The North's ulterior motives are becoming clearer by the day.
my opinion too quota system and democracy does not go hand in hand. Quite hypocritical of the north to always align with what favours them only.

In a normal clime, there should be nothing like rotational presidency. However, the situation in Nigeria is peculiar. For the sake of equity, the presidency should come to the South.
Which of the South?
Re: Northern Elders, Groups Reject Southern Governors’ Position On Power Shift by duality(m): 2:33pm On Jul 07, 2021
All these nonsense is to pave way for a particular candidate that will protect the misdeeds of Buhari's government

Why won't they reject, when their Estate want to burn. North main source of income is politics and farming. So when you take politics from them you left them with just farming and farming can't find arewa spoilt children. That's why they don't mind North to burn but south or any part of West, south south and East to remain in Nigeria . When you watch them, what they talk about unity unity but won't show others sense of belonging. No unity in Nigeria and Nigeria belongs to North. South should either go for the president or division.
Re: Northern Elders, Groups Reject Southern Governors’ Position On Power Shift by mauchiz: 3:36pm On Jul 07, 2021
If they reject power shift, they should divide Nigeria.
North go your way, South go your way, middle belt go your way.

By now I think our so Called president will get to know that a president should be for every citizens not for a tribe. He taught by be the president he has become God that have power over all. Those Governors had proved him wrong.

I guess what happened 2015 about to happen in 2023. We will see if Buhari can do as Jonathan or make that order he wants to make if Jonathan refused by making heads to roll

A lot of problem on the neck of PMB coming 2023.
