May God bless you. You have spoken my entire mind. I need to connect with people like you so that we'll start building a new set of young leaders from the east that can see and control things differently for our region in the nearest future.


thank you. GMB was not popular they voted based on tribal and religious sentiment not based of capabilities, I hate talking tis but at this point, I ma weeping for Nigeria ...it hurts that in this ICT age with smart cities initiativex and e governance some dudes are talking 2 square meal a day.

I hate this country, feel like staying on my own. bunch of unintelligence parading as rulers. I am ashamed to fly out again with my passport.....




Let's be sincere,the north voted buhari because he was their own,not because he had any better programme that GEJ.
The west voted Buhari simply because of the Osibanjo/Tinubu factor. Afterall,buhari has been contesting since,why didn't they recognise him as the change all this while.
I ask an ardent yoruba Apc supporter if he would have been clamouring for this change if Buhari had chosen Rochas or Ngige as running mate,he never answered.
Its all tribal.
Last note: let's pray that Apc learns from GEJ and provide a level electoral playing field to vote them out when they fail to perform(though I doubt).

There is no reason why Nigeria should continue being a united country when we now place ethnic interests over competence and performance. The yorubas have supported with the hausas to return to the status quo of their born to rule. I don't expect any democracy dividend from a buhari presidency for the masses because Buhari didn't even present a manifesto. All he did was sell his ethnicity to his north while the yorubas did for their region.
Jonathan has done more for the north than any president from the north and yet tribalism defeated him. I want to ask all igbos to boycott this government and prepare for the next election with awareness and tribalism. Igbos should make sure that they are not shortchanged in the upcoming census. There is no reason why katsina should have more population than Anambra.

Enough said!
Buhari has the opportunity now to change the past and history, change injustice and bring equate to all part of Nigeria and develop it without favorisim or nepotism or bias as a leader, like we have witness in the past. Days ahead will tell us if he is a Nigeria president. GEJ, saw agric in the North and he help them develop it. Only if Buhari will develop the country accordingly without sentiment and in line with the peculiarity of each zone, becos every places in Nigeria needs development and developing the country in a same pace and carry every person/group along will send a new signal to the ss/se of Nigeria. Time will tell offcourse.

Despite the fact that I supported GEJ, I commend the outcome, despite the rigging( from both sides), I believe this was truly the will of the people, see as many were rejoicing.
The greatest legacy of this election was GEJs congratulating Gen Buhari even b4 final result came, infact it was unAfrican. I was analysing global news about this election and I noticed that the world were shocked, they were expecting us to by now killing ourselves, but lo rather there is peace. Let it be known that Nigeria has passed another milestone. We did it with ebola now this election.
I salute Gen Buhari, he must hit the ground running because he has a great task ahead for him to fulfill the wishes of his millions of supporters and cynics that are at the corner waiting for him to fail.

As for we Igbos we need to do a soul searching, we really need true and visionary leaders not the contractors we have today. We need to banish the past wound of the war and learn how to relate with other ethnicities, we have a lot to learn from them, though we have our unique strength they also can learn from us.
Finaly I think the unique features and attributes of each ethnic group is great for this nation, it is just that we have not known how to rightly apply it. God has brought us together, we are African brothers. So let us embrace peace. Dalu

Not just tribalism bro, it's a victory banked on ignorance. (illiteracy wins knowledge because the knowledgeable are few) Trust me, any developed nation has seen that Africa can never move forward.

Buhari's idiat machine, I was trying to explain to the person I quoted, the reason boko haram was able to grow to this level was because northerners was sympathetic with them and shielded them from security men from the beginning, and I used ND as example if they decide to take up arms and fight the government while the masses shield them nothing the government can do except repeating the Odi massacre.

Ve accepted d victory of our president elect as a victory for d people, I wish him d very best as he prepares to take Nigeria to a greater height. No president means evil for his or her country, buh it takes will and determination to put tinz right.
Ve read so many threads on politicis section and "change", I wish ma country d best buh d quetion we must ask ourselves is how real is d change?
If d incumbent president is from d north and he's not performing to expectations, will d north vote in favor of d southerner rejecting their broda?
It is so funny wen as Nigeria we must form alliance between regions to be able to win election, and I hope dis won't affects our future elections wen d north will contest against d south west, and d SS and SE will support d north so as to get back at d west.
It is reasonable to understand dat d southwest re educated enough to vote for change, buh d average northerner sees it dat dey re born to rule and so regardless of anytin, dey will vote for dem person at d expense of "change".
I wanna believe and pray buhari leads us well, am not expecting much buh he shld be able to lay d foundation of a better Nigeria.
Only future will tell, how many Nigerians really want d change, like I always say we deserve d best far more dan where we re now and I will be most grateful if d general performs better.
D voice of d people is d voice of God.

I am not blaming a man from Niger Delta. I am blaming Mr president because its the job of the president to protect all Nigerians. How would you feel if a terror Islamic yoruba group started killing yorubas and the president of Nigeria fails to protect you and your family? Would you be happy if your daughter and her friends were kidnapped from her school and force into slavery while the president jet out to party the following day like he don't care.

Why did the south south and south east vote jonathan, is it not based on tribal sentiments.

how can you accuse people of the very sin you commit everyday and still committing.

but the post didnt say why IGbo will never rule, I gave answer to why igbo are not interested in presidency for now...when they are interested in presidency they will get it, trust igbos and their aggressive way of doing things...igbo are just seriously interested in having the biggest economy in Africa which is Nigeria and west african economy and from the look of things they are not doing badly in that aspect ..after considering that the North have the highest level of poverty and iliteracy yet they have been ruling and take yoruba that produced obasanjo and shonekan yet they have the highest brown mud houses in ibadan and ogbomosho then having the highest touts and omo nile in the whole ASfrica ..that made igbo to focus on economic path and group economics is what they practise

we can just let boko haram bomb North the after we do the clean up which we will be paid, that is the African Jews.I am not losing sleep over GMB-GEJ madness all I am interested is how to ensure my proposals get approved and how I can have a business In ghana and Lagos....so that is igbo


jews are not in power but they rule by proxy and igbo are good students of jews

you even said the east should be told to practice tribal politics, please don't make me laugh. as the east ever practice any type of politics apart from tribal politics.
