Who your VP help?.

TonyeBarcanista:

Bro, this is one blackmail that can never move me.

Yorubas only recently occupied the Presidency for 8 unbroken years and VP for 2 years (and counting) of the 18 years of this dispensation. The North were begged to allow Jonathan in 2011 (which naturally should be their turn in the interest of equity and justice), while the Southeast is yet to produce a VP not to talk of the Presidency.

If you are fair you should be championing a northern Presidency and Igbo Presidency if you are for the interest of the South.

This is justice, Nigeria belongs to all of us.

nwabobo:


What did Yorubas erect to have OBJ as president in 1999?

TonyeBarcanista:
I don't agree. Having ruled the country for 13/years out of 18 years since the return of democracy, it will not be fair for the South to lead in 2019.


A North/SE 2019 ticket and SE/North 2023/2027 Presidency is very fair and give everyone sense of belonging.

The SW and SS must chill for a couple of years.

asuustrike2009:

Is anything wrong in having igbo as president and Hausa/Fulani as vice since you stand on equity and fairness? Na swell dem swell for igbo not to taste power,

TonyeBarcanista:


Atiku? hahaha... These men are funny!!!


Even your calculation CANNOT win 2019 for Osinbajo.

Ijaw is majority in SS, add Efik, Ibibio and other tribes of Akwa Ibom + Cross river will over swallow the people you brought out.

[s]NW + NE Christians are not even up to 30% of Northern population. If you remove the Igbos (who are campaigning for their VP brother), you have less than 20%. Kano state alone will take care of them, then add other NW + NE states.

As per NC, I hope you aren't hoping on Niger, Kwara and Igala people of Kogi state?

Where PYO may get block votes is SW but being a cosmopolitan state, the margin won't be massive!!![/s]

Expect block votes against PYO from SE...

Oga SuperS, it DOESN'T favor PYO

oluamid:


Yet, since 1999 the SW has produced the President for 8 years and SS for 5 years plus while the North have a combined 5 years and counting.

I hope you know that no matter what people say, the reality is that the North has ruled Nigeria for far longer than any other region and this also counts. Nigeria's political history didn't start in 1999.

Personally, I don't care which region produces the Presidency so long the individuals are competent or are seemingly so. I don't vote based on tribe or religion.

I repeat, nobody will give anybody the Presidency simply because it is their turn. Build alliances, mend bridges, and convince people. Don't expect voters to throw votes at you.

emorse:
I'm sorry but this is plain dumb. How OP conveniently omitted Babangida, Abacha and Abdulsalam from the list of northern rulers beats me.

COMPAQ:



Don't mind the idiot!! If he really wants to be fair to anyone, it should be to the southeast, not the North!!

The unfortunate thing though is that I can't think of anyone from the south east who could be a president! Maybe Soludo? Or that former FRSC guy? But he didn't do much in FRSC or as a minister for that matter.

When he was first elevated to the status of Acting President on 19 January 2017, Professor Yemi Osinbajo embarked on a tour on Niger Delta region. His entourage included Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Ikachukwu; Minister of State for Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, as well as the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs. A move seen as a welcomed development by the good people of Niger Delta who saw it as a new chapter to finding lasting solution to the seemingly unending Niger Delta question. Not one of the rhetorical promises made to the people of Niger Delta by Acting President Osinbajo was ever fulfilled or rather, is yet to be fulfilled.

Some of us, however, suspected that the Osinbajo was neither interested in proffering solution to the Niger Delta question but to start a clandestine move to build his political capital ahead of 2019 Presidential election having read his body language.

As Vice President and sensing that President Buhari is/may be medically unfit to stand for re-election in 2019, Professor Yemi Osinbajo shifted his attention to build network in the north all for 2019.

On Thursday April 13, he went to Adamawa state to acquire the title of "Jagaban of Adamawa Emirate". Only yesterday, he went to Cross river state to collect another traditional title in Efik kingdom, Ada Idaha Ke Efik Eburutu. For what reason if not political?

While I recognize that the Nigeria Constitution gives Yemi Osinbajo the right to contest for any office, including the Presidency, I must also state that his clandestine moves to succeed Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 is counterproductive to the interest of Nigerians and threat to the unity of our country, this is aside his sheer incompetency in public service since he assumed office as Vice President, Chairman of National Planning Commission and Chairman of National Economic Council.

This article is not to talk about his preference for employing only people of his Yoruba ethnic group as Personal Aides, all these are stories for some other time. This article is strictly about the injustice that his Presidency will mean to the rest of the country if we allow it to materialise.

1. HIS PRESIDENCY IS UNJUST TO THE SOUTH
In the history of Nigeria, the Southwest and Yoruba nation have led the country for a combined period of 11 years and 11 months; Chief Olusegun Obasanjo held sway for 11 years and 8 months (8 years as President and 3 years and 8 months as Military ruler) while Ernest Shonekan held sway for 3 months.

Meanwhile, the South-south only led Nigeria for only 5 years and 25 days through Goodluck Jonathan, while the Southeast has NEVER led the country in Executive capacity save the 7 months under the military reign of General Aguiyi Ironsi.

Under this present democratic dispensation, SW and Yoruba nation has led the country for 8 years and has been occupying the Vice President office since 2015.

The Southsouth led the country for only 5 years and 25 days and occupied the office of Vice President for 3 years through Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

The Southeast has neither produced the President nor the Vice President.

Being a multi-ethnic region, it will be highly unfair for one region and ethnic group to seek to occupy the slot of the South in the Presidency in 2019 irrespective of whether it is the office of the President or the Vice President. It will amount to injustice to the ethnic nationalities in the South save the Yoruba for Yemi Osinbajo to succeed Buhari in 2019..

2. HIS PRESIDENCY IS UNJUST TO THE NORTH:
Since the return of this democratic dispensation in 1999, while the South enjoyed power for a total of 13 years (SW 8, SS 5), while the north only did for 5 years and counting through late Umaru Musa Yar’adua (3 years) and Muhammadu Buhari (2 years and counting). If the status quo remains till 2019, the north will haul a meager combined period of 7 years; a far cry when compared with the 13 years that the South held sway.

It is both morally and politically just that the North be allowed to produce the President of Nigeria come 2019 for another 4 years period. We must realize that injustice is injustice anywhere. Allowing Osinbajo, a Yorubaman/Southerner to succeed Buhari in 2019 will only cause disaffection among those in the northern part of the country. There will be feelings of marginalization will crept in. This is a situation the country cannot afford to entertain at this period.

MY SUPPORT FOR NORTH/SOUTHEAST TICKET IN 2019
Nigeria belongs to everybody, it does not belong to a section of the country. While it is fair for power to remain in the north, it is also fair for the Southeast to be part of the equation after years of absence. The only way to allow justice prevail is for a North/Southeast Presidency in 2019.

This arrangement, I strongly believe will calm the nerves of the people of the Southeast, give the Igbo people a sense of ownership in the Nigeria project and a sense of belonging in the affairs of Nigeria.

The Yoruba nation has always stood for justice, I am optimistic that they will stand for what is right come 2019. I have no doubt in my mind that they will not oppose the aspiration of a credible aspirant from the northern extraction and an Igbo man to assume the office of the President and Vice President respectively in 2019.





May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

Sensual:


Shut up and let me school you

If I wanted to get business pms, I wouldn't have put my present signature there.
Some uncivilized Nigerians have no idea of personal privacy. How can you just send someone a pm without even informing the person by atleast quoting him or her and telling them why you wanna pm them. something like "hi you look like a good marketer tru your posts, I would love to work with you on some matters, can I send you a pm? "
Not only for business, even if you are romantically interested in me, that would make me respect you and agree to interact with you. There's nothing I like in this world more than orderliness and doing things in the right way.
It's annoying when guys are just sending pms without informing the recipient, so that she can prepare and look out for that, and that would make her like you instantly bkus you are doing the right thing.

And to show how silly some of these nairaland guys are, they still send pms without informing me even after reading my signature. And when I lash out, I'm officially a pompous b*tch

Imagine a guy telling me that he was just thinking of stuffing his d*ck into my mouth when he wanted to pm me
y'all are hopeless.
That's what you want me to waste my time responding to daily
If you want something serious with me(business or otherwise) you would approach me in a serious manner and that would make me take you serious.
There are a lot of nairaland guys who I've met on my short time here, and we're having a blast on WhatsApp.
So before you come attacking me, look at things from every angle.

Kathmandu:
Osibanjo is not making moves to contest for presidency so i don't see the reason behind this topic.


Osibanjo is not a politician that can muzzle out the North who are fuming under for another of their Son about to turn vegetable in Aso rock.


Tonye lets focus on watching this government and do the needful in 2019 instead of doing Nairaland Political Godfather now

DocHMD:


In yoruba tenure, corruption increased geometrically, Telecoms scandals, halliburton scandal etc.

In yoruba tenure power generation declined. Importation of I pass my neighbour generator increased geometrically.

Under yoruba tenure sharia law was created which indirectly created Boko haram that have caused loss of thousands of lives till today.

Under yoruba tenure, Naira moved from N40 to N150 against the dollar.

Under yoruba tenure, people go to aso rock to bribe in cash or kind order to get oil well and telecom license. Merit was thrown out of the window. Corruption was enthroned

I can go on and on. yorubas destroyed the country.

Amarabae:
boring propaganda dead on arrival.
The north desperately love a One Nigeria, after their tenure, they will shift it to the south east inorder to stop this seccession agitation.
I see a northerner taking APC flag in 2019 together with a South East VP.
Go and read the history of politics in this country or read about the emergeance of Shehu shagari as President.

Amarabae:
2019 will shock you! You think that the north are stupid?
Buhari will hand over to a North/SE candidates 2019 under APC to calm these agitation.
I knew you people sai buhari noise was very fake.

PapaBrowne:
This kind of Slavery!

And if the next Northern president gets sick or passes away in power, we have to bend over backwards again just so the power hungry North gets power again and the cycle goes on and on.
And the annoying thing is that if you recommend a middle beltan as President, that same North would fight aggressively against it.

Isn't it time we all realize that producing the president doesn't add any benefit whatsoever to the region the president comes from.

Jonathan was president for 5 years yet his home state Bayelsa didn't an extra kilometer of road nor did it get a single percent rise in its HDI as a result of his presidency. Rather, Benin Ore road was fixed, Abuja-Kaduna rail was built, and a whole lot else was done elsewhere. The South South as a whole benefitted too little.

Obasanjo was President for 8 years, Ogun got absolutely nothing. Visit Otta and you'd understand the paradox. The roads to Otta is terrible. Obasanjo rather focused his energies on the Niger Delta.

Then Katsina state. The state has produced the 2 northern presidents who have ruled the country for 5 years in the last 10 years. But not a single industry, not a single infrastructure project, not a single improvement in HDI.

Isn't it time we realized that what we need is restructuring this country along the lines of the six geopolitical zones and having leaders in the mound of Ahmadu Bello, Awolowo etc all leading thier respective zones competitively?

There is no reason why Osibanjo should be prevented from contesting if his performance is on point.
