The fight to take back from the north should not start and stop on Nairaland.....
I am ready to take this to the floor of the streets.
It also should not end at fielding a southern person, just because he or she is from the south!

We should also focus on service delivery, these politicians have really missed up our sensibilities, almost all of them are thieves I don't trust any of them .

All about the media as regards to 2019 is Buhari vs Atiku. On the sidelines we have names like Lamido popping up. My question is, why is the south not making any move towards taking the presidency come 2019.

We produce the resources, are more educated but sit back and let the north dictate the nations politics since 1960. This has to stop, modern politics is all about the media, and we control the media (both the regular media and social media), so what are we afraid of. I dare to say we must not choose btw Atiku(desperation) and Buhari (failure), let the south feed a candidate and rally behind him.

This my theory..... If we feed a southern Christian from SS e. g Donald Duke he has a good chance of winning

1. Both SE and SW would vote for him since he is neither Igbo or Yoruba(as both tribes prefer to fight than support each other)
2. He is younger comparatively.... So those clamoring for a youthful candidate would vote him
3. The middle belt would vote him if we can use fulani menace against the core north
4. He has a good track record as governor of Cross rivers
5. The Christians in the NE could vote for him still because of fear of the fulanis and core northerners.
6. Buhari would always gt the NW bt another northern candidate means the vote in the NE would be shared that gives a consolidated sourthern candidate the advantage.
7. Finally we control the Media..... That's one of the ingredients needed to win an election.

I beg all southerners/middlebelterns alike, lets put our differences aside, Lets show the core North they don't own this country, lets stand up and effect a real change..... The Northern Islamic block has being ruling for years with nothing to show for it...... It mustn't be another Northern Muslim.
In 2015 I supported Buhari
Come 2019 am not voting a Northern Muslim.....
It Mustn't be between Buhari or Atiku..... Lets support our own.... Thats what the NW does every time.... They only vote for their own(Northern Muslim).

COME 2019 LET US SUPPORT OUR OWN. VOTE FOR A SOUTHERNER...
I WILL VOTE A SOUTHERNER.

So its about Christianity no good character. U people still dont get that dir is nothing like meddle belt only north central.

Re: Must The Next President Be A Northerner? by eligibility: 7:08pm On Nov 29, 2017

It's very disheartening that we don't understand most politicians when it comes to seeking for power.
Have we forgotten the dissapointment we received from the most fortunate SOUTH - SOUTH candidate who later became the most unfortunate president ever produced in the history of Nigeria due to his reclessness in term of embezzlement.
GEJ would have been the best alternative to rescue the masses from the political imbroglio. In fact, GEJ must never contest for any election again. No more chance for taaahe south south.

Pathetically, OBJ too play along with ATIKU by lavishing our resources catastrophically because of Baba third term and over ambitious ATIKU life style. So, OBJ would have been the best candidate in the south west but he cannot . Let's south west forget the game for now.

Interestingly , we need to understand that second term is a political culture in Nigeria and PMB will still emerges if contested due to the strong alliance he maintains with JAGABAN OF AFRICA, who controls the SOUTH WEST.

Hopefully , the SOUTH EAST is another region of hope if Okorocha maintains his good rapour with the ruling class in APC and I sincerely believe the team work will yield positively.

My submission is OKOROCHA from SOUTH EAST as PRESIDENT in 2023 and AMBASSADOR ABIKE DABIRI from Lagos, SOUTH WEST as the Vice PRESIDENT.
I rest my case

It's easier for them to get biafra than to get presidency.

Correct, cos it just amazed me how they keep shouting Ibo President as if it's not by election, the North, and SW will continue to rule, even SS have a better chance of Ruling than ppl from poto republic. ..

They dont have the population, they can't build alliance, yet they asking for the Presidency to be handed to them on a platter of gold. ....

Re: Must The Next President Be A Northerner? by Reference(m): 7:20pm On Nov 29, 2017*

It is not about where the candidate is from rather how enlightened, responsible and efficient those who put them into power are at demanding results for their franchise.

Not until we see government as a business in which shareholders demand performance from the executives will we continue to be ridden like an ass. Ask yourself what southern politicians at all levels have positively done independently.

I asked several folks after the last polls how sure they were that they will get the so called dividends of democracy and the results was overwhelming. Almost every one 'hoped' the Buhari government would deliver and I was aghast.

You don't send your child to school and 'hope' he learns, you don't deposit your money in the bank and 'hope' to get is back when required, you don't pay for an international passport and hope it gets processed.

Yes you may hope your child passes an exam, you may hope your bank offers you a loan, you may hope to get your passport tomorrow morning but if you cannot distinguish between what is a right and a privilege in this democracy game, what is compulsory and what is discretionary, what is expected of elected leadership, then it doesn't matter who is elected, there will be scant performance and overwhelming disappointment.

Democratic values are like electricity in that it is current, volatile and dangerous. They are difficult to 'store', must be used at face value and remain invisible until a demand 'load' is placed upon it.

Those who say criticising government amounts to 'hating' may as well say hot oil hates on raw eggs. Who cares... I like mine scrambled....

Re: Must The Next President Be A Northerner? by PDJT: 7:44pm On Nov 29, 2017

I hereby encourage the Igbo Nation to stay far away from Nigerian Politics and focus on the economic empowerment of our people and development of our Nation. The restoration of Biafra should be our only political focus, anything less than that is a sheer waste of time. Let Nigerians continue to destroy their oyibo creation, they are calling a country.
There is political power, then there is economic power. Political power in all its “glory” has its major flaws and limitations, but economic power goes a bit further. I challenge any person, outside mental health institution to show me that group/tribe/Nation that moved from abject poverty to affluence in this world through politics.
My people stay away from Nigerian politics!

Considering that a few militants in the Niger-Delta alone were enough to bring the country to its knees, how long do you think Buhari would last in office if he had the majority of the south and the middle-belt against him? Nigeria is too ethnically and religiously diverse for such a thing to fly - it wasn't really GEJ's "peace loving" or "democratic" nature that forced him to give up office in 2015, and it won't matter how dictatorial Buhari wants to be in 2019 if he loses mass support, which is now happening even within his own NW home region, thanks to his woeful mismanagement of the economy.

The truth is that Buhari is a weak incumbent, clearly incompetent to deal with Nigeria's problems even if age and poor health weren't holding him back; he is the Nigerian equivalent of Jimmy Carter, a sitting duck waiting for a strong challenger to wipe the floor with him. The real problem is that the PDP still thinks it can get away with the same old "money and godfathers" politics that leads the same old thieves to the top, when it should be looking for a dynamic, young challenger who understands economics and technology, someone in the mould of France's Macron or Canada's Trudeau. Nobody in their right mind will vote for the likes of Atiku, Modu Sheriff and company, but that's all the PDP seems to be offering, almost as if they want Buhari to defeat them.

if it comes to that,the smart British who own this farm will wade in,find a way to address the problem an ibo affair,then like magic,the rest of the animals will start singing a familiar songs against ibos.
Any attempt to take away power from the north will result in a coup which the west will support.

How shameless of you for saying this. In 2011 when middlebelters/northern minorities delivered 8 states to the Southern GEJ, where were you?

In 2015 elections, Southern Kaduna delivered more votes to your GEJ than a whole Abia state (with Aba the most populated Igbo city). Wht a shame. Should middlebelters die for Southerners first? What has the south done for middlebelters to enforce a sense of brotherhood?
