Well, what we are practicing in Nigeria is never true democracy.
We have too much ethnic sentiments to practice true democracy.
The larger ethicities will always overshadow the others, and the South-West
and North-West have learnt to collaborate together better politically than the other
mostly because these two are the cradle of the Hausa and Yoruba people.
They bound by more than just geography, they also have almost same religious
sympathies.
The Hausa people will rarely ever want to collaborate with the Igbo man politically
because they have almost nothing in common. They both despise each other.
For us, the minority in the North-West, we can only watch from the sidelines.

That would have been possible last election not now!



SlavaUkraini:
The South East now have a chance to produce a Vice President if Peter Obi will team up with Atiku Abubakar in the upcoming election....

Only that Alliance can defeat Jagaban

If Peter Obi contest alone, he will lose

If Atiku Abubakar contest alone, he will lose

When Atiku Abubakar is done with his Presidency, then Peter Obi can become president.

Just watch as Obidients will disagree with me on this..

That's a big lie...

You guys really care, that is why you guys voted overwhelmingly for Peter Obi in the last election
Igbos have always voted overwhelmingly for our preferred candidate since 1999

Is obj, Jonathan, atiku or yaradua an Igbo man?

Since 1999, two zones have never produced a President or Vice President. Meanwhile, others have had their turn at the top:
What of since 1960. Besides south east is out of the equation. They can't be trusted with the presidency.

Bulshiit... Atiku is from Cameron. He does not have the interest of Nigeria at hand. PO should run alone with kwankwaso as VP or one good northerner

They will say this doesn't matter.

And no marginalisation .

The people of North Central are even more marginalized in my opinion. Power always comes to the North,but they are always ignored.
The people of North Central are only good for bringing massive vote's,but not good for rulling the country.
In my own Opinion, power is never served or rotated just like that, you have to work for it through strong political inclusivity. Every zone is qualified but you must work for it. You can not just hand over a country to someone with no capacity to will elections through peoples support. OBJ and Jonathan were dashed the presidency and we saw how they performed.

I am a stunch Obedient from the South East, but I totally agree with you. If not for ego, that's the only political calculation that could defeat Tinubu.

I support Obi though and I support what you've just said but a random Obedient believe Obi cannot be Vice to Atiku and the truth is one without the other cannot win against Tinubu. If Obi and Atiku had ran together in 2023. They'd have had more votes than Tinubu.

Chukuka grin
Why una wan remain slave to the fulani for life? grin
What happens to Obi as president and Atiku or any of his nominees as VP?. Or that ticket cant win? Cant Atiku and other northerners support Obi against Tinubu? Is it a crime for Atku to support Obi presidency despite Obi without Atiku structure in 2023 pulling over 6 million votes. What happens to Atiku, El Rufai, Lamido, Kwankwaso, and all powerful blocs in north behind Obi? U feel that alliance will still not defeat Tinubu?
Make iboes free themselves from PDP and fulani since 1999 bro. The asslicking too much

As for South East, the hate is real. They believe they are too smart to be given the president. You want one Nigeria,but you don't want a section of Nigeria to be the president,what an irony.

We all know the truth,but we will all pretend that it's not the truth. No region has monopoly of rulling. Nigeria should give sense of belonging to every region and you will see peace and progress.
Usual emotional rants. No region has the monopoly of rulership and it has indeed gone round 4 regions out of 6 in 25 years. Those who haven't gotten it should look inwards instead of crying and turning to emotional blackmail. Haven't you noticed that doesn't work?

That force can threaten Tinubu and push him off in a free and fair election except otherwise but Obi will not want to come 2nd,that's the problem, he would have used the vice president position to gather and gain momentum for the future president he seeks.

In South-South the same person was the vice president and later president. He truly made history for himself.

God bless Jonathan!! 🙏
Just unfortunate he became Vice President and later president with limited experience; and they took advantage of his naivety.

Any party that chooses SE/NC and NC/SE Should be the party to contest against each other.
And such party is what voters should look out for during the election.


PNP .... SE for President/ NC for Vice President
VS
FNP .... NC for President/SE for Vice President

If Nigeria is divided into six equal parts how is Benue, nasarawa, Abuja, Kwara not southern Nigeria.
Re: Since 1999, Two Zones Never Produced A President Or Vice President by Front0lane: 9:16am On Jun 24, 2025
Was this why Ojukwu ask that the winner of the 1993 presidential election MKO Abiola to be killed ?

MosakuAW:
The structure of choosing President in this country has been wrong from the beginning. The military choose the president for us in 1999 by wanting the power to go to the South West to appeal of losing out with MKO. Since then, all the political parties now have zoning in all electoral position.

The same thing with educational sector in the country. During my University admission in 1999, I scored 240 in UMT, I was not admitted but someone with 210 from Kogi, Kwara and Benue where admitted before me because my state of origin is Ogun state. Kogi, Kwara, Benue and some norther states were considered as ELDS (Educational Less Developed State) which is insane.

Naija is gone unless we do away with tribalism, religion and favourism and accept competence. Forget which ever zone that rule last, whoever is competent and from any zone shoud govern the people.

When next power is to go back to the North,let it be the North Central.
That's a lie from the pit of hell. Children of nowadays dont know Nigeria history.
(A) North central has ruled Nigeria many times before
1. Yakubu Gowon- 8 years in office- Plateau state
2. Ibrahim Babangida- 8 years in office- Niger State
3. Abdulsalam Abubakar- 1 year in office- Niger State
Several of them have been VP including Idiagbon etc and senate presidents.
(B) The North east produced the first ever PM Tafawa Balewa and Vice President, including Senate presidents, Speakers of HOR
(C) The South East has also produced two presidents in Nnamdi Azikwe, Nigeria first president and Aguinyi Ironsi. Igbos have also produced VP in Ekwueme and several Senate presidents.
So where is the marginalisation?
