The Person at the helm of affairs now will have no problem achieving this, except the people from these regions want to do otherwise. To me its no big deal.

Okay, o We shall see!

Exactly Y d APC will neva live 2 agree dat elections in those states are free & fair and concede defeat. They dnt only want all d states. They want d lubrication from d oil as well. But God Himself knows how 2 maintain d balance of nature. I'll simply call it d Rich Minority.

Ok no vex.
Now that am sure this isn't ur prayer.
Mabinu bikonu.

Another interesting Observation is that for the first time in Nigerian History the SS and SE will be playing opposition Politics, It will be interesting to see how they will play that role! I will be watching with my HD glasses.

It doesn't make any difference. After all we are looking at a nigeria that will not depend on oil production in few years from now. A nigeria beyond OIL is possible. What happens to the groundnut pyramid of the north and rich agricultural production of the north and southern part of the country like EDO, ONDO etc and not forgetting the social economic vibrancy of the south west. A Nigeria beyond oil is possible and I urge the incoming government to focus on that and I wish GMB/PYO all the best as they pilot the affairs of this great nation. God bless the federal republic of NIgeria.

I will also be watching how the North And SW alliance will play out in these government. Will conspiracy to wrest power from GEJ satisfy them and if so what next now that they have achieved that aim.

The hatred for GEJ seemed to have been the glue for this union now that GEJ has stepped Aside, I wonder what will bind them.

Will the union Survive the political ego of the party bigwigs and struggle for office?

Will Tinubu be able to pocket Buhari?

I dust my HD glasses yet Again, Interesting times are here again

I thought Imo state is also an oil producing state.

APC still controls 2 out of the 11 ss/se states after May 29, there is a greater chance, it will grow stronger than weaker in the two regions.

Does it make any difference?

After all no state has any control over their oil wells and the income there from.

Okay-o We shall See, Am watching the interesting politics that shall unfold!

Atleast if d want to marginalize them, they can use their resources and get what d want

You can't be too sure...naija politicians can change parties like them ladies change their bras..

it means they will loss 13% derivation. they are paid too much money.


the only way, they can escape been remove, is if the 10 state of western nigeria is removed..


they can block 2/3 vote.

Resource control!!!

Wont change a thing. The oil belongs to the Fed

So this is how much Gej's doings and undoings/ candidacy has divided us.

I am Yoruba and a Christian, I wholeheartedly and lovingly voted for Jonathan in 2011, Against buhari and all other candidates, I was particularly happy when Atiku lost to him in the PDP primaries; but Alas, his performance especially in the aspect of corruption/impunity made me changed my mind concerning him because I was disappointed. Now I voted against him just like every true lover of our nation's progress will. But what we get from mischievous PDP is inciting our brothers from SS & SE to believe their "brother" was betrayed.

This is unfair for millions of southwesterners and even Northcentral/ Middlebelt Nigerians that truly believed in Gej and was on His side to herald the fact that a South South candidate must be given Nigeria's support to rule Nigeria, and hence voted him(In 2011).

Our South East Brothers especially are really getting it all wrong.

It was never about the West backing a Northern agenda. They argue the West did not criticize Obasanjo.

The level of awareness now in 2015 is different from the level of awareness as at 2003 when Obasanjo contested for second term. The social media was not yet alive then. Facebook was created in 2004, somany of the other blogs and our flexible access to the Internet came latter too.

Even then(2003), so many people dint have access to independent news broadcast like Channels & others. How many people had Dstv then, MAJORITY were all stuck to NTA, and thus cannot be really informed on the wrongs of Obasanjo. I repeat again, the level of awareness now is different from then.

Let's not give the Devil a chance. With proper leadership, we All need each other. One of the biggest Deposit of Iron ore in the world(said to be better than Japan's own) is in Ajaokuta(Kogi state-North central), Somany food items we need and consume are most suitably grown on the savannah soil of the farther North(E.g, Beans, Onions, groundnut, etc), The West has the only suitable land for cocoa, the major survival resource of the largest and most successful French speaking African country- Ivory coast. Oil deposits was discovered in Lagos, but no adequate commitment yet from any of our government to conduct more research and expand our oil deposit base the way US did recently and they stopped needing our oil.

Gold deposit is in Ilesa-South West. Gold is the leading natural resource of South Africa which many of us run to en mass for greener pastures, Tin is in Jos, Coal is in Enugu, Oil is in South South, How many can I mention? We ALL Need Each Other.

I Pray God will give us Unity, and Proper leadership, which we Lack, Need, Which I Crave For, and which informed many Nigerians Political Choice for Change in the recent past elections. May God Almighty Help us. Amen.
