East always vote opposite of south west why I think Dey see west at competitors and west don’t even see east at all as competitors

tunapawizzy:
So SE decided to go with Tofa
Why is it now suddenly a problem when SW decides to align with the North.
In the first republic too, Azikwe's NCNC eventually formed an alliance with the North's NPC against Awolowo's AG.
2nd republic, they still formed an alliance with shehu shagari.

Oh no, this reminder every June 12. My dear SE always playing on the losing side of history.
Funny how if SW says 1+1=2, SE will aggressively say NEVER. Smile.

Igbos were here voting others
But one time they are pressing for the position, we start hearing all manner of rubbish. Imagine it was an Igbo man that annulled the election, tribalists and bigots will never cease to tell the story anytime its election time.

did south east not go with obasanjo, against both olu falae and buhari?

loffyloffy:
Let me just answer one of your questions: "How's Babangida doing today?"

He's doing about as well as you'd expect any super rich former head of state with old-age health issues to be doing. He's getting the best medical care for his situation. He lives in his huge mansion in Minna and gets occasional political visitors. You could even say he put Minna on Nigeria's political map. If he were just an average guy, he'd probably be dead.

Basically, he's doing great.

Who killed Dele Giwa?
Who killed Funsho Williams?

The 1993 election was supposed to be our moment of true national unity. Look at those numbers. Abiola did not just win; he built a coalition that bridged the divide between the North Central and the South West. For a brief, intoxicating moment, it felt as though we had finally outgrown the regionalism that keeps us fragmented. But in this country, such optimism is often a dangerous provocation to the powers that prefer the status quo.

Meanwhile, how is Babangida doing today?

The once Almighty ruler who thought the world revolves around his pencil. The Minna archangel!

It makes me remember some great men alike who were silenced rather than good governance see the light.


The shadows that hang over our political history are long and dark. The brutal silencing of Dele Giwa in 1986 and the cold, calculated murder of Funsho Williams in 2006 were not merely isolated crimes. They were messages—sharp, violent reminders of what happens when individuals become too prominent or too capable of shifting the national narrative. We dance around these ghosts, but the truth remains locked behind doors that no one in power wants to open.

It makes me wonder if Abacha really stole that much announced. Maybe underrepresented or overrepresented. Or are other corrupt people hiding their own crimes under the umbrella of the late man who cannot defend himself anymore?

Just the same way more are waiting for others to be late then they blame them for everything!

By the way...

sweerychick:
that's because south south doesn't have a dominant ethnic group. Its made up of minority tribes and sub ethnic groups.. that is an off shoot of the 2 main ethnic groups in the south, Igbo and Yoruba.

South Southern Nigeria has always been the only neutral region in this country. We don't have any sentimental attachment when it comes to elections. We vote not because you're our brother but because we see you as the best candidate among the rest.
