Let me indulge myself with your logic. would the Igbo have chanted TRANSFORMATION if gej was in APC (amala and ewedu party) with an Hausa running mate?

u see wat am saying.u could'nt anserw me coz u knw that change was'nt geniune one.it was laced with tribal undertone.but to ur question,if u had observed diz election from the Igbo perspective you'd understand that we are nt crazy for party bt persnality.dats y everybdy is crying for Abia result even though pdp is wining.ppl like Rochas would'nt even win one ward.

The joke is on you my friend because the ngige and okorocha that were heroes to Igbo suddenly became traitors, bast.Ards, efulefu simply because they had the temerity to follow the amala and ewedu party of Awolowo's people.

You're not crazy for party indeed. Answer if you can.

Which candidate will you vote for if APC fields him/her?

Under ACN in the same election that you yourself claimed Tinubu and other Yoruba leaders of ACN supported gej and asked their supporters to vote for gej against their own party's candidate.

When did ngige become a traitor? A bast.ard? An efulefu? Now reconcile it with the time APC was formed and then tell us how many elections ngige or any other APC candidate won since then in Igboland.

pls anserw me dis question.would the Yoruba have chanted CHANGE IF buhari was in cpc with an Igbo running mate?

I'm sorry but I would have to answer your question with a question, "in 2011, did Jonathan have a Yoruba running mate?.... If not so, why did the Yorubas vote massively for him?".... While you continue to think clannishly, I would love it if you can ponder on this my question. Please just try and put aside the tribal or clannish thinking for a second and observe the Nigerian society. Ask yourself this sincere question, "if you were not a Nigerian, with all you know, would you have supported Jonathan?"

I am a full blooded Igbo man but I totally supported Buhari because I believed GEJ failed in his duty as a president and C-in-C especially in the area of corruption, impunity and security. I strongly appreciate the fact that a good president goes beyond restoring rail transport. Any right thinking neutral person would have supported Buhari over a GEJ re-election; if not for anything, just for the sake of the obscene cases of corruption and impunity which was rampant and unattended to by GEJ. Even foreign countries supported the removal of GEj's government, I know you would assume that to also be a coincidence or maybe a result of APC telling lies and propaganda to foreigners?.. but you are wrong, foreigners would make their judgement devoid of tribal/ethnic/religious sentiments.

A little word of advice, we really need to stop this unnecessary blame game especially against the SW. The blame game is deeply rooted in senseless tribalism and clannishness and it will never take us anywhere. I was just reading a thread a moment ago where someone blamed the Yorubas for being the reason why Akpabio of Akwa-Ibom couldn't build the Ibaka Seaport. Such clannish reasoning only raises a needless paranoia which of course erodes our ability to think productively because instead of identifying the real problem and moving forward, we just keep blaming others for everything.

Just like I originally advised, try for a moment and assume you are not Nigerian, would you still be towing your present line of argument?

The same way gej was voted in 2011 then booted out in 2015 for non performance. Simple

Now, why should any person have a problem with that?

It is good to be a critic, we should never sit back as Nigerians and watch silently as our leader ruin us. Buhari is not my father and even though I supported his candidacy, I'm patiently waiting for May 29th to begin firing missiles whenever his crew misbehaves.

As for the issue of 'merit,' I can assure you that APC won on pure merit. Politics is a dirty game and the strategy in democratic politics is for the opposition to pick on the flaws of the ruling party and magnify them to gain sympathy from the people. That's what democratic politics is all about and that's exactly what APC has done but unfortunately, since Nigerians are not used to democracy, this very concept sounds strange to them. I do not agree with you that APC instigated violence to discredit GEJ; rather I would say the APC capitalised on the insecurity (which GEJ's government was too clueless to tackle) and they built their momentum on the failings of GEJ. This again is what is obtainable in every democratic society, you don't expect an opposition that wants to take over power to be clapping or cheering the ruling party even in the midst of glaring faults.

A majority of the things which GEJ's government and supporters claim were lies and propaganda turned out to be true. Continuously saying that APC used lies and propaganda to chase out GEJ is now becoming boring; can you please mention the alleged lies against GEJ which didn't turn out to be true?... GEJ's government just had too many obvious flaws which made the game too easy for the opposition. At a point I just had to conclude that it was either GEJ was cursed or he was under a powerful spell for regularly committing unforgivable gaffes almost everyday. Once again I challenge you to mention the so called LIES by APC to sabotage GEJ. Was it the govt carelessness in the money laundry case in SA or was it the way GEJ handled the accusations by Sanusi Lamido very poorly?... Was it the cases of glaring corruption which GEJ turned a blind eye to or was it the case of GEJ's insensitivity by attending a PDP rally and dancing in public less than 24 hours after a bomb blast kills over 100 innocent poor masses at a bus station?... Can you please take your time, think deeply (devoid of any sentiments or soft spots) and kindly mention any major allegations against GEJ's government which were truly false?...

You say Buhari and APC accused the government of committing a genocide against the north; now this is a really contentious one but let us reason this deeply. Do you really think the Army was not actually killing hoards of innocent people in the NE?... It is only a non-Nigerian that does not know the carelessly brutal antecedents of the Nigerian army or even the police that shoots people for just N20. In 1999, the army was sent in to quell the Warri crises, they annihilated every thing on sight including livestock. In the early 2000s, the army was sent in to Odi to quell an uprising, till today we still know the story of Odi and we dance to Timaya's 'dem mama' song oblivious of the sheer scale of genocide in that community. What about the case of Odioma in the same Bayelsa?... what about the massacre in Benue also in the early 2000s?...

From Nigerian history, wherever there is an unrest and the army is called in, it a well known fact that the Nigerian army instead of restoring peace, they enforce a tsunami thereby leaving the people of the area calling out to the government and international community for help and for compensation. With all these atrocities still in our minds, I wonder why the cry by some northern leaders against the brutality of the army is seen only with the microscopic prism of politics. Once again, every Nigerian knows the brutal antecedents of the army, so I wonder why you think the call to caution the army by Buhari or other northern leaders is a sabotage against Goodluck Jonathan. May you just pray the Nigerian army wouldn't ever be sent to your community, if that happens you will never blame Buhari for calling for the army to be cautioned.

Just like the Yoruba voted massively for gej/sambo against their own son too.

Truly there shouldn't be any issue with it.

Since you'll know there shouldn't be any issue with it, why are APC people making s big deal out of the fact that SE supported GEJ/Sambo of which none of them is Igbo?

This should be a case of live and let live. Don't point accusing fingers when there is/are similar issues in your case. Now all I want from GMB is performance and all I want from your APC supporters is to be objective and criticize when necessary and don't just create immunity for him because he's an APC candidate. Let his performance speak for him and no lie peddling.

wonders shall never end!!!

Who started the whole betrayal tag? Who started a journey through 'history' to show the Yoruba don't like SE people? Who went on a long journey of revisionism? Who has been screaming that the Yoruba sold the entire south to the north? Who has been calling the Yoruba 'slaves' for aligning with the same folks the SS &SE have ALWAYS aligned with all through the 55 years of Nigeria's independence? Who called their own sons 'traitors', 'efulefu' etc for joining the APC? Pls my friend.....don't make me laugh.

If GMB derails from the reason he won the popular vote, he will know its not for nothing that Yoruba produced the likes of Fawehinmi, Ransom-kuti's, Soyinka etc who have always opposed injustice and misrule by any leader be it Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo. The true opposition will start from the Yoruba e.g the lagos-ibadan press. You can count on that.

barcanista:
You guys should expect constructive criticism and opposition. This was same tactics used by ACN/APC since 2011. Pls get used to it. For me, I don't "wish" gMB failure but looking at his laughable laudable promises and his puppeteers, one don't need a soothsayer to tell him that he(GMB) is bound to flop.

He will flop for your. For.majority on Nigerians he will deliver better than Jonathan did.
No longer grammar, no fake Transformation.

theV0ice:
1st off, I lived and worked in the north for almost 8 years across 7 NW, NE and NC states and even met and married my wife there. So if you think you know them, I know them very very well too.

your initial post didn't take into cognisance the points I bolded in this your recent post. If you knew the bolded, why paint a picture that portrays the northern Muslim as being intolerant of every other tribe?

Gej got 309,057 votes in sokoto while GMB got 540,769 in 2011. Was it only Christians that gave him this vote?

How do you explain that in the same 2011, gej got 1,175,954 in abia while GMB got only 3,608? Does that not give us an idea about who is more close minded?

Or can this be more accurately explained by the PDP rigging machine?

Now if they are so free minded, why was there post election violence? Mind you, Namadi Sambo is their son and even if GEJ got votes from them in 2011, there isn't a big deal there. They might reasoned it as a win-win for them if either CPC or PDP win.

Now mark my words, with the current trend, there will never be a successful party at the national level without the Hausa/Fulani man either as a President or as a Vice President. In whichever way, their presence must be felt. They voted for OBJ because to them they were paying him back for handing over to their son Shehu Shagari. Mind you also, Atiku was the vice and an Hausa/Fulani. From then on till date, has there been a President/Vice without a Hausa/Fulani candidate? Watch and see this trend continue till you grow old.

Also, let me give you instances of them having the "born to rule" mentality. Election was conducted in my school for the post of VC and a Christian won. What happened afterwards? Was he sworn in as the VC? No. This was because of the massive protest both in and outside the school. Their lecturers, the supposed learned ones refused that it would happen. The illiterates/almajiris outside the school premises protested, threatening thunder and brim stone. Elections conducted at school level left the school filled with "born to rul"e both at departmental and faculty level. A well respected prof, a Yoruba man, in my department then, was campaigned and voted against (for the post of Deputy Dean) by same lecturers within the department, that pretended to respect him. Who did they campaign and vote for? A Muslim lecturer from another department. The prof eventually left the school and is now in Unilag. Most Christian lecturers, doctors/profs in my department then have left the school for schools in the South. Mind you, this is a school with huge number of Christians.

You're either a Muslim or you are deliberately lying to yourself about your experience in the north. Although even if you're a Yoruba Muslim, you must agree with me that during crises in the north, if you can't speak their language, you're a gonner..

Have you checked the Nigerian map b4? Do you see the space occupied by the Hausa/Fulani Muslim north? Any man that thinks he can win a presidential election in Nigeria without an Hausa/Fulani Muslim on the ticket is a comedian. Democracy is a game of numbers......the earlier you internalise this, the better for u.

Do you in all honesty believe a Hausa/Fulani Muslim can be elected a VC in FUTO in today's Nigeria? We are talking of the presidency here and history will always record it that gej got 8million votes from the north in 2011 & 3.4million votes there in 2015. I'll leave you to tell me how many votes GMB got in the SE in 2011 & 2015.

You're free to believe I'm a Hausa Muslim or a Yoruba Muslim.....its your call. To add to your consternation again, let me tell you that pretty babe I met and married in the north is an Igbo girl.

Islam has a violent streak but what is the solution? Shut the hausa/Fulani Muslim out of power? How do you do that in a democracy with universal adult suffrage? As long as we remain together, we MUST find a way to co-exist peacefully.

Gbawe:
GEJ and PDP fans, after the PDP lost the Presidential election, have unravelled as very wicked, vengeful, unpatriotic and evil enemies of Nigeria's progress. All they know is to insultingly join issues with other posters while never suggesting anything positive or progressive that can move Nigeria forward. Look at the chap who brought up my old posts, which predicted how Jonathan will fail, to discredit me. Yet he conveniently pretended not to see the part where, alongside my prediction of the problems GEJ would face, I suggested how Mr.President could prevent those problems ruining his Presidency.

Did GEJ do a single thing he was asked to do by progress-minded Nigerians? Big NO !!! Yet his fans can only attempt to discredit others while they fail to acknowledge that Jonathan brought himself down by leading for the elites and those who did not mean well for him while he turned his back on Nigerians as some of us warned he must never do. To be honest, I am really tired of GEJ/PDP fans and wish most can take up Afghanistan citizenship because they are really not useful to Nigeria.

Exactly Bro, it baffles me why a learned person will even vote for GEJ. GEJ was obviously operating from the wrong side of the coin, neglecting the masses and further enriching the cabals. If PDP had allowed our vote to count in the SS it would have reflected that indeed he failed even though he's our own.
I'm from Niger Delta and I support any honest, courageous and incorruptible leader regardless of his/her birth region, GEJ was the exact opposite of those attributes and never deserved to continue with our mandate.

Of course you're very correct. If not for the thugs unleashed on the populace by PDP in rivers state, the votes would have reflected that the folks there also wanted change. GMB wouldn't have won of course but he would have pulled substantial votes.

I am only going to address the bolded based on my earlier statement. The Christian who won the election isn't an Igbo/Yoruba man. He's a Southern Kaduna Christian and has every right as a Nigerian and as a Kaduna man to become a VC in a university in Kaduna state.

Also, I believe these past UNN VCs ain't Igbos..

Professor Umaru Shehu: 1978 - 1979
Professor Umaru Gomwalk: May 1994 - 1999

Thanks...I've learnt something new today

Gbawe:
If you are honest with yourself, you will see all I advised GEJ not to do, because it would be detrimental to his Presidency, is al he was interested in doing. Everything I suggested he does, revolving mainly around leading for ordinary Nigerians and getting them on his side, he rejected. Amosun survived and overcame a vicious political gang-up because he delivered for the ordinary people and they did not abandon him in his time of need. Did GEJ do that despite being a very lucky chap placed far above his station?

Did GEJ even show gratitude or lend a listening ear to all who agitated to get him sworn in when Turai Yar Adua hijacked the Presidency? What Nairaland can see with these post is proof I am totally about the progress of Nigeria to the extent I gave commonsensical advice to a President I did not believe in yet wanted to succeed for the sake of my Country. Perhaps you and others can learn from that i.e focusing on what matters most , which is the progress of Nigeria, rather than obsessing about individual leaders who come and go while Nigeria still remains.

Do you not see how I warned GEJ that he should not think his "divine emergence" is enough and he must match that with integrity, utmost bravery and unflinching political will before Nigerians start seeing through him thus losing him goodwill and destroying the whole 'goodluck' divinity Nigerians were obsessed with back then? Jonathan would have probably had a better Presidency shunning the Okupes and Omokris of the world to listen to the commonsense advice from ordinary Nigerians he chose to turn his back on.

Every test poll conducted saw Buhari winning by very wide margin, online poll conducted by Naij.com, NL, even the ones conducted by GEJ facebook handle, need I mention that of AIT . Okupe was advocating votes and support for GEJ on a programme (can't placed specifically) when his audience started chanting "change". GMB victory was written in the sky, moon, stars everywhere. Absolutely everything was reflecting a defeat for GEJ, GEJ was so clueless that he didn't realise his campaign team adopted image attacks strategy on GMB kept drawing more and more fans to GMB camp ( am an example of this, used to be a 'fencist'), I was forced to research about GMB, the result of my research made me love him and so rooted for him.

At least the PDP now knows how not to run a presidential campaign.

They'll be wiser next time

Gbawe:
I don't doubt this at all. I remember telling off one penniless fool who comes here daily to shout "GEJ till 2085" yet confessed he could not afford browsing credit and was reduced to using the internet at work to watch video contents. See the life of these poverty-destroyed rats who still continue to praise their oppressors?

All of them are now like FFK. Give them tasty fried chicken or Tantaliser take-away and "they will sing and dance for you" all night never mind that tomorrow they are still going to be jobless and drinking garri three times a day. Poverty na bastard sha .

I doubt if PDP will pay anybody to come and write stuff on nairaland or Facebook again. No more free cash flow, apologies to the accountant brethren in the house.
Don't mind the jobless bitter TANnoids. Incumbent party that couldn't even pony up a coherent campaign strategy, and still managed to steal + waste billions on nothing. Since Jonathan won without working for it the last time, he obviously thought it was always going to be sunny in California, where he and the good people of Naija were concerned

Once nobody is paying, everybody will reset back to their everyday drudge, and only come out for occasional pokes at the government of the day. Even that is doubtful
