This Is Why A Yoruba Muslim Can Never Be President by TylerDurden: 5:37pm On Jun 15, 2019
Abiola went against IBB's advice to pick a northern Christian rather than a Muslim.

This combination worked as Abiola won that election but will such arrangement work in today's present Nigeria?

Tinubu wanted to be Buhari's running mate but his own SW caucus kicked against it stating it will be highly insensitive for the APC to have a Muslim -Muslim ticket given the perception then (and up till now) that the APC was overwhelmingly composed of Muslim politicians seeking to oust a Christian President battling Islamic inspired insurgency in the Muslim North.

If the likes of Tinubu still insisting on running for presidency he will rather go for a northern Muslim as the northern Christians are heavily despised in the north. This Muslim Muslim ticket will not fly in the better south and Christian middle belt and you can bet the opposition will simply get a northern Muslim with a Christian southerner.


It is thus safe to conclude that a Yoruba moslem can never smell Aso Rock. A southern Christian has more chance of being President just like Obasanjo and Jonathan than a Yoruba moslem.

Learn to express yourself more intelligently. Anyone who reads your heading will conclude that Babangida advised Abiola to pick a Muslim running mate, but he ignored the advice and picked a Christian.

The opinion seems reasonable. The northerners will never accept a minority northern christian as representing them in government

The text was quite clear. It's possible that you didn't get the gist when you read the first time. It happens so there's really no need to antagonise the OP.

In Nigeria, one will be naive to assume there's anything not possible to take place. I'm sure whoever that has such ambition is also aware of these points you raised and damn well will put machinery in motion to achieve same.
You also did not put into consideration that wide scale rigging can take place. Recall that ALL security apparatus are firmly in the hands of the north, and if they see a good bargain to even support this agenda, the worst that will happen is social media rants and we'll leave it to God to judge.

I don't know what is wrong with yoruba moslems.

They were the first to run with a muslim-muslim ticket. Something the core north have never dared.

Again, they are planning to run with that ticket again.

I just pity yoruba christians.

There was nothing clear about his sentence as the OP said the opposite of what he meant and the poster you quoted rightly picked up on it and corrected him.

Currently it is more difficult for a muslim southerner to be president than his christian counterpart, however it is not impossible.

One thing you are all not taking into coignance is that power will have to go to the middlebelt soon and their is a good chance of a Christian northerner making it through. Eventually we have to get over all these stupid divisions we have in this country so our best hands can always have a fighting chance without all this silly suspicion.

I got the message the OP passed. He omitted a comma which made the statement somewhat ambiguous, I agree. But that's not enough ground to label someone as mediocre.

Your statement above lacks proper construction, but I read for meaning, not to nitpick errors. Should I also think you to be mediocre?

The dude would still have pointed out the error without being condescending.

Reading Nairaland today, I am always taken aback by how many are not good observers of events on ground. OP, Nigerians are changing in mentality and outlook. You confessed yourself Gbajabiamila won because of PMB backing. If a Yoruba Moslem candidate emerges with the backing of Nigeria's most important and influential kingmakers, then he will win. Simple. Nothing to overthink. Create the product, give it appeal and sell it to the masses via utilising the largest budget and on-the-ground influence. That is the Nigeria of today within which anything is possible.

How old were you in 1993? IBB couldn't handover to Abiola cos Abacha threaten to assassinate his family.

It had nothing to do with the ticket. As at 1993, Nigeria was sane, no boko haram, no religious crisis. Jos was peaceful, no herdsmen attack in the North, no kidnappers
