MKO Abiola won the presidential election against a northerner but the election was annuled by Abrahim Babangida(a northerner) Olusegun Obasanjo came out of prison to become president,with the scheming of the north, ostenstably to compensate the south west for Abiolas.when OBJ was released from prison,the first person he visited was Babangida,what did they discuss,your quess is as good as mine.Obasanjo handed power to Shehu Musa Yar'adua(a northerner)who did not complete his tenure(as death took him away)his vice,Goodluck Jonathan,step in his shoes and took over as president,After completing his tenure,he could not break the jar,he was fustrated and pushed out of office by Buhari.Now Buhari has almost complete his statutory eight years,they've started their usual scheming to instal another northerner or their stooge as president,why is it so,why are the other region alluding to this political scheming. |

babyfaceafrica:They understand nothing more than anyone. It's a function of their control of the military post 1966. Power revolves around force. When you have the force to back up your political decisions and choices, others will gravitate towards you. 2 Likes |

The a Northerners in Apc has stepped down for southerners No complaints, no hassle .. south has gotten the opportunity Igbos should vote Pdp enmass .. to avoid stories that touch the heart.. I’m saying it clear .. and they’re abusing Same way I told yoruba that they’re about to sojourn in political widerness but they curse and insult Reality is here If igbos lose out of Pdp and Pdp win without igbo votes but south south .. igbos will become political orphans in Nigeria and inconsequential in Nigeria politics Atiku is the incoming Coming on my mention and abusing me cursing won’t change this reality The North has prepared and made in roads for Atiku .. south don’t have a united vote .. Obi will still come back to Pdp .. because he knows the truth that he can’t win in Labour Aboki for zamfara kebbi katsina jigawa sokoto no send Obi and they’re not on Twitter or Facebook they no Dey Nairaland Anyone telling you Obi will defeat Tinubu is lying .. anyone telling you Obi will defeat Osibanjo is lying .. anyone telling you Obi will defeat Atiku is lying All Na politcs .. Obi made fame in Pdp as Atiku runing mate and that’s all.. he’s decamping cost that fortune Obi is now seen here as IPOB candinate .. that’s the pure and honest truth Atiku 2023 Power to the people North 2023 Those Yoruba claiming power must come south Which south? 2 Likes |

They have two things working for them........ 1. MILITARY:- They are in control of the military, even para military. You cannot blow grammar for an ab0ki facing you with gun. 2. UNITY:- Northerners are more united than Southerners, they are very loyal to their leaders unlike the Southerners that are disrespectful and capable of betraying you any minute. |

They are united and unity is strength. The 2 big groups in the south, Igbo and Yoruba are not united , due to this the SS looks after its own interests. Until we learn unity and FAIRNESS in the south, the North will continue to call the shots 1 Like |

DOTian:How many SE governors supported Peter Obi in PDP? How many southern States did Wike Win? Please face FACTS, the south is completely divided. We are selfish and do not put the interest of the region before personal interest. Look at Orji Kalu playing slave to Lawan, when even the northern ACP governors have said it should go to the south. 2 Likes |

DOTian: Precisely! And they used that military force to tilt the political-economy in their favour, so much so that 24 years after the military left, it’s that same political-economy they’re still using to dominate the rest of the country in the so called ‘Democratic’ dispensation! But i reckon the key factor responsible for their cohesiveness and commonality of purpose is their religion of Islam! Their ruling elite use Islam as a rallying point to get their masses to think whatever they’re asked to do is for the promotion of Islam against the ‘infidels’ Christianity’ 1 Like |

1) I don't agree that north has always dictated political events in Nigeria. 2011 presidential election is an example. It was the turn of the north to produce the president to complete it is tenure under PDP's "zoning" arrangement but GEJ insisted and eventually had his way. 2) To answer your question as to why north dominates Nigerian politics: a) Population. North has relative advantage over the south in terms of voting population. b) Political consciousness. Despite the low literacy level in the north, political culture is deeply rooted in the psyche of an average northerner. This has to do with the leadership development process of the region. Even before the coming of colonialists many parts of the region had well developed method of administration with intense scheming just like it is practiced today. c) A population that is united by religion and culture. Most parts of the north were once under a single administration with a control centre at Sokoto - The Sokoto Caliphate. Islam was the uniting factor in this. d) Political patronage from the elites to the poor. Even before the coming of colonialists people close to corridors of power have always served as means of getting favour for the poor from the kings. Same applies today. |
