You lot and empty threats are 5 and 6. Come 2027 now, it will be tears everywhere enough to fill thousands of Olympic size swimming pool.

Yes Yorubas will "learn the hard way" as you have been threatening for 100 years now while it is you and your folks crying year in and year out for decades now.
Don't mind them, they actually think people take them seriously. Tinubu government was bad to them even before he became president.
His government will still be bad even if Nigeria becomes the leading economy in the world under his watch.

Lessons have been learnt.

If atiku and Obi had ran on a single platform, your tinubu would not have been president.
Though I understand that it is irrelevant now, but facts are still facts.
Even with that, despite running with the party of the incumbent, and with the enormous funds behind him, it was a narrow victory for him, losing both lagos and abuja.
So if you think your candidate is popular, think again. He will probably win 2027. He has the power of incumbency and atiku /obi has not united on a single ticket to pose any serious challenge.

As for 2031, a yoruba VP victory is impossible. Any party that attempts that will lose woefully. I can assure you of that.
After 2031, Yorubas have no business or right to be president till 2071. However I have told you this thing before 2055 is not assured for the ibos if they keep playing the type of politics they play and electing the kind of leaders they elect. If you still insist on this nzogbu nzogbu politics, a Yoruba man can take it from you again in 2055. I am not an advocate of such a move but I am just warning you. 2039 is going to the SS. As for VP the idea of a Yoruba VP in 2031 is ridiculous, anyone suggesting such is either winding you up or delusional.

Again I advice you people, get your leadership right. It’s one thing for your turn to come, it’d another for you to be prepared. That it is the turn of the south or the Se does not mean the country will trust the stewardship to a clown. The SE have the worst set of politicians in the country. Sort out the caliber of people you elect to offic3 so that as they rise others will be comfortable electing them as president.

Opportunity must go hand in hand with preparedness. The reason why Tinubu will win is largely because when the time for the south came, the rest of the country is not comfortable with the person you have put forward to champion your cause…Obi. You blew the 2023-2031 opportunity because of the person you put forward.

In politics your opinion does not matter, what matters are the opinions of the people you need to cross the line of victory.

If you like listen, if you like abuse, ignore and continue walking the same path that has brought nothing.


You go for an interview, let’s say a visa interview, you queue, when your number is called, it is your right to be seen by the interviewer. The system has done its part by giving you a fair chance to be interviewed. However if on getting to the interview stage, you don’t have the documents required, that’s on you….you went to an interview unprepared…don’t blame the system. Interview over and the guy behind you takes your slot.

In the annals of Nigerian history, the presidency of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is increasingly viewed not as a triumph for the Yoruba people but as a cautionary tale of political betrayal and governance failure. Once hailed as a beacon of southern leadership, Tinubu's tenure has sparked widespread disillusionment across ethnic lines, with many questioning whether he is the last Yoruba to occupy the nation's highest office.



Prominent Yoruba figures have openly called for President Tinubu's impeachment, citing a series of missteps and alleged abuses of power. The Yoruba Youth Socio-Cultural Association (YYSA), representing the youth demographic, condemned the impeachment call from a faction of Afenifere, led by Oba Oladipo Olaitan, labeling it "despicable" and "unwarranted." YYSA defended Tinubu's actions, particularly his association with the Chagoury Group in the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, as lawful and in the nation's interest.

However, this defense is not universal. The Conscience of Yoruba Nation Group, another faction of Afenifere, criticized former President Olusegun Obasanjo's remarks about Tinubu's preparedness, suggesting that such criticism stems from envy and a desire to monopolize southern leadership. They argue that Tinubu's economic reforms, including subsidy removal and currency liberalization, have revitalized Nigeria's economy.



The disillusionment with Tinubu's presidency extends beyond the Yoruba community. Ijaw leaders have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the administration, particularly criticizing the handling of state affairs and governance. They have urged President Tinubu to address internal issues and have even challenged his authority, highlighting a significant rift between the federal government and regional leaders.

Furthermore, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Segun Sowunmi, cautioned President Tinubu against betraying his supporters, emphasizing the importance of trust and loyalty in political leadership. He warned that any perceived betrayal could have lasting consequences for the president's political future.


The question arises: Is Tinubu's presidency the last opportunity for a Yoruba leader to ascend to Nigeria's presidency? The widespread criticism from various ethnic groups suggests a deep-seated belief that the Yoruba have failed to deliver on their promises. This sentiment is further fueled by perceptions of betrayal, as many feel that the current administration has not adequately addressed the needs and concerns of all Nigerians.

International observers and human rights organizations have also expressed concern over the administration's handling of dissent and activism. The Yoruba Union, Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá, criticized President Tinubu for turning state machinery against peaceful protesters, a move they deemed hypocritical given his own history of activism. They have called for international intervention to address what they describe as "state-sponsored persecution" of activists.


As Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections, the legacy of Tinubu's presidency looms large. The widespread calls for impeachment, the accusations of betrayal, and the ethnic divisions that have surfaced suggest a nation grappling with its identity and future. Whether Tinubu's tenure marks the end of Yoruba dominance in Nigerian politics remains to be seen, but the current climate indicates a significant shift in the political landscape.

The question now is not just about leadership but about trust, unity, and the direction in which Nigeria is headed. As the nation stands at this crossroads, the need for genuine, inclusive leadership has never been more critical.

Bullshit.

Obi got 6 million votes in labour party.
The difference between obi and tinubu was just 2 million votes.
That's just the votes of one northern state.

They won the equal number of states despite running on vastly different political parties in terms of political machinery.

The last time tinubu supported a candidate that ran on a vastly inferior party called the ACN, he lost woefully.

What obi did in 2023 was proof of concept.
The pdp knows it, which is why they want him back by all means.

Tinubu got the lowest number of votes of any president since 1999 by percentage.
The vast majority of Nigerians are definitely not comfortable with such a character being president.

If obi and atiku can sort out the difference and run on a single ticket, they would be the next residents in aso rock in 2027.

Like I said you never learn. Obi as deputy to Atiku is not the same as Obi heading a ticket. The majority of Obi’s votes are ibo votes. He has peaked. Unfortunately for you and for him, you don’t dictate to those whose votes you need.

As I always say, beauty only matters if the object of your affection sees beauty in you. You can call yourself beautiful till the cows come home, you can’t define what is beautiful to me.
Again have a field day arguing, you have plenty of time till 2055 to see the light.

Please let me also state there is nothing that says an Ibo must be president. There are more than 400 tribes in Nigeria. If an Ibo never becomes president Heaven will not fall! You are not going to bully, agitate, protest or blackmail your way to the presidency. The presidency of this country is earned! It is a position of trust and goodwill, It is not a right! Is an Ibo man more Nigerian or more entitled to the presidency than the kalabari, ijaw, efik, andoni, anyima, igbira, urhobo, esan or ibibio who are just a few of the tribes from the south but have never led this country? After all you’ve been head of state twice!

As far as Atiku, I remember having this dialogue with you and I am sure you are seeing it play out. What I told you then is that it is not in the interest of the true power brokers in the North for Atiku to become president in 2027. You can do a history search and read it again. It is playing out before you. No sitting governor has joined Atiku, in Benue the state of ADC chairman, they are all defecting, in Kaduna of ElRufai they are all defecting. Atiku and Obi commited the biggest political blunder in 2023. It’s over for them politically. Even if they come back together they will lose. Atiku under PDP is different from Atiku in ADC. If you want to know Atiku’s true pull, look at his votes when he contested under ACN. He only got 8% of the votes. His votes in the last 2?elections were PDP votes not Atiku votes. They are not transferable to ADC just like he wasn’t able to transfer them when he ran under ADC! In the history of this country post 1999, substantial organic votes belong only to 4 people, Tinubu, Buhari, Obi and to a lesser extent Kwakwanso. Everybody else it is party votes that is propping you up. I have said it elsewhere on Nairaland Obi has more organic votes than Atiku.

You are clearly not a very good reader of Nigerian politics.

As long as Lagos still controls the bulk of the economy of Nigeria, any person in charge of Lagos revenue will still fund his way to the presidency or influence who ever gets that .

If you want all that to change , it is a massive and aggressive divestment to either Abuja or the east

redirecting financial gravity away from Lagos towards Abuja or, more importantly, the East.

This is what I’ve always told those campaigning for Biafra: you don’t win liberation by sitting at home.Boycott Lagos economically, channel your trade, investments, and innovation into the East and you’ll have your freedom without firing a shot. Focus on building the East, and soon, you won’t even crave separation the power will already be yours
This is our prayer in the SW.
Everyday I pray you lot carry your business ,trade and investment out of Lagos and let see how it goes...if the Igbo have the balls to do so
Your answer is as good as mine.

I do agree that Tinubu may be the last Yoruba president in Nigeria, not because of his corrupt actions and draconian policies but because of the complicity of the Yoruba people and the role they played in supporting the attrocities of his government. A typical example of what I mean is the comment made by seunmsg a yoruba man below and other comments/actions of the yoruba people in support of Tinubu's bad government. Nigerians from other tribes are watching and taking notes of who the yoruba people are, what they represent and their shared values especially when it comes to hate, tribalism, truth, justice and national inclusivity. Just like how Buhari's presidency exposed the hypocrisy of the fulanis, Tinubu's terrible tribalistic government will cause the yorubas irreparable national damage as no Nigerian from other tribe may ever trust or want to support a Yoruba presidency again after 2031 if Tinubu rigs the 2027 election successfully. Posterity will always be the final judge after all is said and done.
They are too obsessed with igbo to even remember that other 100+ tribes are observing.

Keep deluding yourself. Per the terrorist lunacy you SE lot and the maniacs up North have inflicted on our nation, Nigeria is now officially one of the most terrorised nation of the world.

The USA, UK and co will not hesitate to enter Nigeria if the sane regions like the SW and SS, seen as the good people out of a very bad nation, begin to be disruptive like you lot and Northerners.

You are both essentially socio-economically disruptive minuses to Nigeria right now while the globally treasured and valued regions of Nigeria are the SW, SS and NC.

Think about your real worth today to Nigeria, which is more or less zero, before you start fantasizing childishly about ostracizing the region, along with the SS and Middle Belt, that happens to be the only positive and uplifting thing about Nigeria today and for the foreseeable future.

Did we have Boko Haram, lakuwara, ISWAP, militant Fulani herdsmen and bandit plus IPOB, UGM, Autopilot etal, that you people and Northerners alone are responsible for, in the days of Azikiwe and Balewa?

You people just never think before you start projecting your malevolent fantasies as reality

The way some of you talk ehn...you make us question your education! So, how come Buhari is not the last Fulani president but in your estimation Tinubu is the last Yoruba president ? Oh, your mouth no reach there? Abi Nigerians will now ONLY vote a Kanuri, an Idoma or a Kalabari man?

I really don't understand them and their megalomaniac arrogance.

The SE and core North are the agents of terror, insecurity and socio-economic instability responsible for many nations of the world issuing monthly or even weekly travel advisory notifications to their citizens
about where they must not visit in Nigeria.

Somehow, in their warped mind, it is possible to sideline political leaders from the regions giving life and glory to Nigeria currently, so that the Presidency can be dominated by Fulanis and Igbos the world understands, based on cold facts available, are the most problematic and destructive ethnic groups of Nigeria today.

These 'projector' people are just a joke. They simply dream up fantasies and project it as reality with no respect at all for facts and reality on ground.
