Yes man

If the South East Politicians can't compete to get the ticket, nobody will fight for them to get it.

Ekwueme contested against Obasanjo, Onu contested against Falae

Okorocha contested against Yardua and Buhari.

P1PrinceKT:
But 1, Christianity is also a major tool in South
Secondly Pidgin language is widely spoken there too. .

I think you're yet to find to find the problem.

There is strength in large numbers

barbstee:
You said it all

As a matter of fact the hausas are minority

However, It'll very hard for the whole South to unite

leksite120:
A lot of those commenters don't even understand what he's saying well.
The major reason why they're unified is two:
(1) Religion
Islam is a major unifier among the North unlike South which has diverse religion especially in SW therefore making it easier to speak to their ideology and since most of them are not educated, they get easily manipulated.

(2) Language
Hausa language is commonly spoken even among non-hausa in the north which makes this another major tool in uniting them. In opposition to the major claim that Hausa is the most populated tribe in Nigeria, I somehow disagree, Hausa is just the most spoken language

That's the major reason it's easier for any region in the North to fortify their goal for each other cos they see themselves as one. The two Northern president came from the same region and even the same state(Katsina) and none of them made it a fuse. Meanwhile, it'll be a problem in the south.

This is how it should always work. We should compete among ourselves in the south , then the highest bidder get all our support, but in a case where one person is docile and he's expecting the other to submit to him for no reason is absurd.

Naturally, everyone should earn it and we should do as if we don't know each other, but for the fact that our neighbor(North) keeps using the unity card , we have to buckle ours too just for formality and our goal sake.
Meanwhile in the real sense, we're not in any way the same, we're totally different, and that's the bitter truth . Our culture and everything is completely different

Kingpin1000:
The only man correct in this political saga is OUK.
South, GEJ + OBJ= 14 years.
North, UMR + GMB = 10 years.
For their to be equity, the north must complete their 4 years.
Anybody saying it should come to the south should be specific ( SouthEast) or forget it.
Southwest cannot blackmail us with southern presidency qhe they are fighting for themselves. Infact Tinubu confessed he installed a Northerner against a Southerner and He now wants our support.
Let the North complete their remaining 4 years then we can tell about the Southeast not even southwest or south south.
Before you start thinking from your anus am from Rivers state.

mrvitalis:
South is not divided just greedy ...a simple zoning agreement can't even be respected and you want to blame the north ?

Yorubas and south south are to be blamed

If southern governors had insisted that it's the turn of south east who born north

Atiku even offered to step down if it was zoned to south east but wike said no ...stop blaming north

Blame south south and south west politicians

totiamiyu:
I personally take a few steps backwards when the subject is politics.

But nonetheless, this is more of a vivid fact than politics.

The North has a high voting power born to immense cooperation, population and above all agricultural productivity.

I see no reason why any right judging person would back disunity in Nigeria. If the North could decide to hand over presidency to the South. That shows a true respect for federalism.

izombie:
Igbos have been sounding this warning from the onset. The south is just a tool for the north to use or discard as they deem fit or necessary. Let's forge our own country or fight the north together but the south west said no because of promise of presidency. Nonsense, we must remain in nigeria and continue drowning.

Perfectbeing:
This is one problem I have with the Igbos. The fact that they never agree to a fault.. To them, out of the over 250 tribes in Nigeria, they are the only ones not at fault..

They forget it was one of them who stopped Awolowo's mandate to insert a secession clause in the constitution. They forget they were the first ethnic group to cause a coup. They forget they were the first people to wage war on an ethnic group and forced them back into one Nigeria. They forget that in the history of the country's election, they are the only none Northerners that have supported the North more times than others.

They are the good people in the story and everyone else is the bad person.

leksite120:
we're not really bond by Christianity, SW has many Muslims too.
And a major factor you should look at is that, Islam as a religion itself unifies people, Islam has same ideology mode of life and even has its own culture unlike Christianity, Catholics has different values from Anglican and pentecostals and so on.

mrvitalis:
If south can't compete they should not cry when north rules for 50 years straight

mrvitalis:
Ok your point ?
Don't agree to zoning in the south and watch north rule for 200 years Igbos would make sure of that

farouk2much:
Obasanjo 8 years South
Yar'adua 2 years North
Jonathan 2years South
Jonathan 4years South
Buhari we should assume 8 years North
South has ruled for 14years
North 10years
Nobody should come and be telling us the
Northerners has been ruling the country

Perfectbeing:
My point is visible to any thinking person.

How will me agreeing to zoning to the South change anything?

Parachoko:
It is Igbos that can't compete. Don't say South, say the South East.

mrvitalis:
Go n compete na stop saying southern presidency state your region

coputa:
We have three major ethnic groups in nigeria:HAUSA,YORUBA AND IGBO.The yorubas and igbos who are the major tribes in the south could not unite the other groups together,instead,they submitted themselves to be used by the hausas to betray one another,especially the yorubas due to their cowardice of imbibing the islamic religion,this led to the annexure of one of their state( kwara state) by the hausa/fulani expansionist.The igbos are a bit better,for their bravity in repelling islam.

Before you start thinking from your anus am from Rivers state.

Parachoko:
I'm a Southerner from the South South

I will support a Southerner, Tinubu to be precise. If Tinubu does not get the ticket, I will support whoever get it between Osinbanjo and Amechi.

mrvitalis:
And when they lose to lawal support Peter obi then

coputa:
Has islam unite the yorubas(the ethnic group that has the highest number of muslims in the south).the yoruba muslim hates the yoruba christians and vice versa.

Parachoko:
With this una hateful politics, you think I will support Obi?

The same una wey dey talk say if Ibo man can't get it, the North should continue? As if anybody is stopping Igbos from contesting.

I'm from Rivers State, and I saw how you guys were rejoicing because Wike lost to Atiku, I will rather support a bandit than voting Peter Obi.

The North should rule for 1000 years rather than an Ibo or Peter Obi becoming the president.

Two can play the game.

mrvitalis:
Support na ...if u like from bayelsa that's your business ...u have one vote play for your interest let's play for our interest

Rivers man supporting tinubu

leksite120:
The Yoruba love themselves not even because of religion, it's because we're family. You don't expect me to hate my siblings or parents just because he's in another religion

Parachoko:
Yes, I'm an Ijaw man from Rivers State and living in Lagos State.

I'm with Bola Ahmed Tinubu 100% just the way Shettima a Kanuri man is supporting Tinubu. Okowa from Delta State supported a Fulani man from Adamawa.

I will never vote an Ibo man neither will I vote Peter Obi, it does not matter if a cow rules for 2000 years
