If they answer, I'll buy fivealive for you

helinues:
You ran away the other time without disputing what you challenged me about

Why are you still mentioning.

Respect yourself

MemphitzDgreat1:
Stop foaming nansense from your mouth.... even the visually impaired knows that Tinubu is a massive failure. What are your thoughts on Reno's stance previously as he is now your hero is what we are asking you.🤡

helinues:
Have some shame. You were Bragging that day asking for what this government has done, I presented you with some and you ran away.

Stop talking and embrace some shame

MemphitzDgreat1:
See who's talking about shame🤡🤡🤡
Your hypocrisy stinks!!😖

helinues:
Okay why did you run away without disputing some of the government achievements?

Just tell us why and stop ejo wewe

helinues:
The rotation is between the political parties not Nigerians. Stop getting things twisted

Brahamimo:
"He has not been appointed into any political office "

Can u now see why he cannot be the president?
He lacks the experience.

Belurved1:
So why stressing yourself when you've already knew the system?

Godfullsam:
Yes, he lacks the experience to loot public funds.

That is why people like us prefer him to your experience looters

Quest7777:
Israel is a Nation, but Nigeria is a Geographical Contraption of diverse ethnic Nationalities.

Moreover what we have in Nigeria is Democracy.

Godfullsam:
What maturity trait do you want him to possess?

Leme help you:

He is not over aged

He has no pot belly

He hasn't been appointed into any political office and has not embezzled public funds.

He is not in the wanted list of any anti graft agencies.

emirate9:
do you know big big grammar have very little meaning unknown to the gullibles

isreal is a Nation so also is Nigeria full stop. and by the way isreal has 12 tribes, out of 12 how many dey become king
America pioneered democracy, one black man became president after how many years of democracy ?? one

PlasmaTV:
I agree with this.
Of all the rotation, Yaradua was a great leader while boo harry was awful.

Obsanjo was awesome while Tinubu is a conundrum that doesn't understand himself.

Character, leadership skills, empathy and common sense should come first before tribe or religion.

WizardOfNG:
Bruv, I have told you many times not to quote me. I Won't dignify your obdurate mischief-making with a serious response. Never.

Sowore said the country should be interested in a president who will run Nigeria better, irrespective of his region.

“If I have a good president in Nigeria who can run this country very well, I don’t care where he comes from.

He added, “Zoning the presidency to the worst character in the country is not going to make you get anywhere.

Zocalite:
Rotation president will be accepted if it's put into the constitution and among the 6 geopolitical zones

In the absent of that it's a fallacy

Sowore said the country should be interested in a president who will run Nigeria better, irrespective of his region.

“If I have a good president in Nigeria who can run this country very well, I don’t care where he comes from.

He added, “Zoning the presidency to the worst character in the country is not going to make you get anywhere.

Quest7777:
This is theoretically correct.
But in reality, we all know that in Nigeria, Ethnicity is far stronger than Nationality. So majority are OK with whoever that is president, provided he is from their tribe.

Since politics is a game of numbers, some regions will hardly smell Presidency except it is rotated.

So Rotational Presidency makes sense in Nigeria context.

WizardOfNG:
No disrespect but Sowore is a political dullard and this is the reason most Nigerians lost respect for him massively.

I don't do political correctness and make bold to say rotation between North and South must be sacrosanct because of the reality of Nigeria, and how her region and people prefer to live, which means a Northern leader is unlikely to ever lead in ways that can satisfy Southerners and vice versa.

Sowore is not even smart enough to note the core North believes in a welfarist system of Governance, like throwback communism, where everything and everyone is sustained by Federal government funding.

Whereas most region of the South are socio-captalist in leaning.

With how fundamentalist a lot of Northerners are, no Northern leader will ever gain power to then be overtly socio-captalist. He/she will never be allowed to lead in that way by Northerners.

Similarly, and by inclination, no Southern leader can force begging-bowl communism on most Southerners who believe in competitively bettering themselves, with education and "japa" plus business ownership etal, to thrive and gain the best things life has to offer.

We have essentially two very different and ideological dissimilar nation joined together like Israel and Iran for example where Ayatollah cannot lead Israel and Netinyahu cannot make decisions for Iranians.

Meaning it is best for power to rotate between North and South in Nigeria so both region get what they want till evolution does the rest to get all regions to independently attain the lives they wish to live. you cannot have capitalism in a socialist setting and you cannot suspend socialism every 8yrs

Sowore is just a glorified student Union leader and unintelligent populist who believes politically correct rhetoric makes him a more desirable leadership candidate. Nothing more.

He should go and have a conversation with the Hausa man below to see if he can convince him that Northerners will allow a "meritoriously competent" Northern leader to transform Nigeria as Southerners will want considering the animosity he encountered trying to get Northern leaders to see the need to educate and train Northern kids , with STEM, to develop the North.

ElSudani:
The solution is a weakened center and more power to the states. If you want to run down your own state then the people will know where to take their grievances.

Cromagnon:


Then why do they vote for him



So do south




Like which one
None of the governors or senators have ever complained about the socialism o




Do northerners not have capitalist businesses




All the south is begging oga





Not really

Cromagnon:
only violence can reduce centralisation

WizardOfNG:
Tinubu is already doing it without violence. The only issue is that a greater degree of decentralisation is needed to include State/regional policing etc as Obtains in the USA.

Quest7777:
12 tribes from same father, Jacob.
Tribe in this case does not refer to ethnicity, unlike in Nigeria.

[b]Sowore stated [/b]that Nigeria needs the best person as President irrespective of his tribe.

But do you realise that, to an average Yoruba, Tinubu is the best.
To an average Ibo, Obi is the best.
Same with Atiku to the average Hausa.

So the concept of "best president" is viewed from tribal perspective in Nigeria.

WizardOfNG:
I'll take only question which proves everything I said and proves all your question simply shows you don't know what you should.

You ask why do they vote for him.

Getting 33,953 vote in 2019 election (while the winner Buhari got over 15 million votes) and 14,600 votes in 2023 (showing Sowore has become less desirable in the eyes of the electorate) amounts to "they voted for him" ba?

Fact check me on the above that proves Sowore, due to his political immaturity and lack of political nous/intellect is a turn off to the Nigerian electorate.

No need for me to bother with your other questions since you think 33k votes in 2019 and 14.6k votes in 2023, when other candidates to include Obi contesting for the first time in 2023 got several million votes, signifies electoral endorsement of Sowore..

Cromagnon:
He's trying to
It won't work
Britain have the north mega advantage and they will not vote for it and south down have enough votes to overule

Cromagnon:
My bad
"him" meant northern leader or to lesser deny southern leader

You need some bites from north and south to win so you must speak to their ideology to some degree (I believe most ppl are socialist, North and South, black and white) lit hunger resets their brain to follow capitalists until they get spoiled and forget that govt starved them earlier and the cycle repeats

again my bad
So wore is inconsequential except I admire him demystifying the process of attempting to run for office

WizardOfNG:
Britain gets mentioned a lot but their control of Nigeria, to me, is more imagined than real.

Decentralisation of power and processes is inevitable

because if we don't initiate it willingly and painlessly, then we will be forced to embrace it very painfully and damagingly for Nigeria and Nigerians.

No two ways about it. With security , as a convincing example, decentralisation of our police force, to account for State and regional peculiarities critical to crime fighting and keeping Nigerians safe, is non-negotiable because nothing else can work.

Definitely, greater decentralisation of power and processes is our inedible and unavoidable future. The only issue is the pace of it's delivery.

emirate9:
[s] I guess the Father/jacob birthed them alone, and its seems you like your " english" upside,down

Oga tribe and ethnic are more connected, the later is just "broader" .... stop complicating "english"

If you can try open your eyes you will see most wailing against Tinubu performance are mostly those average Yorubas, market women, .. go online search

What are the IGBos doing asides making a jest of those wailing and warning their brethren to boycott any protest ... yet you dare have the temerity to throw your smelly tribalism in my face .. sho wa ok


Sowore said ... he is yoruba

what is chukwudi saying ?? [/s]
