Noted. Good enough, the internet never forgets. Hopefully, we will all be here to analyze how things panned out after the 2023 presidential election.
Abeg shif!..what is the worse that can happen?...the north will simply keep ruling and wrecking this contraption until she scatters..

Simple.

Who is crying against Islamization agenda ?
Who will suffer it most if the agenda finally works out for them ?

Who is crying against fulanozation agenda nd who will suffer it the most if they manage to achieve it ?

Which region believe its their resources thats finaning Northerners development nd want to be in charge of their resources ?

If power remain in the North till 2090 it takes nothing away from SW

All SW need is to focus on the industrialization nd agricultural development agenda.

Who asked his opinion? We know them from antecedents. Na only dem no vote Abiola but go vote Tofa from NE. We say make dem play their own politiks leave Tinubu alone, dem no gree. Na wa o.

quote author=silverbirdng post=79596717]Former National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and erstwhile Vice-Chancellor of the Imo State University (IMSU), Prof Ukachukwu Awuzie, has said that it would be difficult for power to return to the Southwest in 2023 going by power equation in the country.

According to him, even if the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, brings all the money in the world, he would not be the next President as the position will go to Northeast in 2023.

“Before, the Sokoto emblem was ‘Born to rule’; now if you look at the six geo-political zones in the country, the Southwest has served for eight years, South-south six years, put them together it isn14 years, they left Northwest alone another eight years with two years of Yar’Adua, which is 10 years, only one zone out of the three, the Northeast has not gone, North-central has not gone, the Southwest has gone, the South-south has gone, it remains the Southeast.

“Look at the number of years they have gone, South has covered 14 years; North has covered or will cover 10 years when Buhari completes his tenure.

“I don’t think they would allow the West, even if it is Tinubu, let him bring all the money in the world, the President will go to Northeast in 2023,” he said in an interview with Sun newspaper.

On the political situation in the country, Awuzie described it as wobbly, saying that sometimes it seems President Muhammadu Buhari is on holiday and detached from the problems plaguing the country.

He said, “We have a wobbling leadership, sometimes it appears to me that our president is on holidays, he has to take grip of situations.

“We are in a country you cannot go to bed with your two eyes closed, a country you cannot guarantee six hours of light, a country priding itself that we can produce 8,000megawatts when South Africa produces 30,000megawatts, you are talking of 8,000megawatts for a country of 200 million population, I think we have a long way to go.

“What I am saying is that the leadership should be more pragmatic, we must look at harnessing the best; our problem in Nigeria is that we are not using the best to drive both the economy and governance.”

Femolacaster:
I have nothing personal against this Tinubu, but some of his supporters hype him more than what he is,imagine somebody saying Tinubu made Buhari president?
Nobody over Hypes Tinubu it's crystal be contributed to Buhari's success the thing is that you guys don't want to accept it because of hatred. He did it back to back even when Saraki and Atiku left he still delivered. Kiss the Truth. If Buhari will give him the same support in 2023 the possibility of him winning is high. It's obvious South /South and South/East don't stand a chance against South west when they align with the North we just saw that few months ago in the Elections.

Igbos are really putting lots of energy into the plot to scuttle power shift to the south by 2023. Instead of pushing for an Igbo presidency, they are all out advocating for the north just to spite the south west. We’ve got news for you snitches though, we don’t give a Bleep about what you think or who you support. We are on solid ground to win the next presidential election and no amount of bad belle can stop us. You guys can keep wailing while we keep winning.
Who is the real snitch?

2015 still fresh.

The earlier you guys wake up, the better. The reality is that , it will take a long time before a southern can become president again. Be reminded that the power tussle is between APC and PDP. If APC decide to field a southerner , PDP will alway field a northerner, and That northerner will surely win cos north never abandons there own.


Simple permutation. Understand that it will take more than mere talk to convince SOUTHEAST and SOUTH SOUTH to vote for a southwesterner considering what happened in 2015

Igbos will never vote for a yoruba man kom 2023 whether christian or Muslim. You lots had better take the bull by the horn by adopting a Muslim/muslim ticket.. like elrufia did in kd. Say tinubu/shekarau or fashola/elrufia.. this is the only way yorubas can appeal to the north against a northern candidate ..
All of the propaganda you people are spreading won't fly.

Sifia pains have caused all these.


A Yoruba Christian and a Northern Muslim will be at the Villa 2023.

Then sniper would have been sold out.

In this case, when you talk about regions and then you will talk about the politics that will follow. I fear for Apc in 2023 because they might lose the federal power. If Apc should give presidential ticket to any other zone apart from north, then pdp has advantage because their flag bearer will come from the north, no matter the geopolitical zone, one is that northerners are not like any other zone in Nigeria where two brothers can fight over the position to the point of killing themselves. Immediately pdp give ticket to the north and apc to the south, the northern elites and the emirs will meet and seal a deal and make sure they don't lose out. It means power will still continue to be in their hands. Until other zones learn I think the north will continue to rule. It is worst in the east.
Re: Prof Awuzie: Why Tinubu’s Billions Can’t Help Him To Be President In 2023 by oyatz(m): 3:35pm On Jun 23, 2019
Most of the Igbos I have seen or heard are more interested in preventing a SW presidency in 2023 than achieving an Igbo Presidency.








Afospecialk:
Why is it that Igbo's leaders ar not concern about their failure to produce any credible leader capable of contesting for presidency since 1999 ?

Why is it that Igbo's leaders ar not ashamed of their incompetence to present any credible leader capable to contest for presidency in 2023 and 2031 ?

Why is that all Igbo's attentions and analysis is 100% focused on Tinubu chances in 2023?

I mean I hav never come across any Igbos leaders bold enough to mention any presentables candidates capable of vying for presidency in 2023 or 2031.

Must everything be on Tinubu or Yoruba chances ?

No igbos leader presentable for presidency ?
Re: Prof Awuzie: Why Tinubu’s Billions Can’t Help Him To Be President In 2023 by kayjay69(m):
Sensible comments devoid of tribal sentiments.

I'll give mine. I am actually praying and praying that APC fields a Northern candidate on the basis of what you just said. Cos quite frankly, unless rigged massively, it would be difficult for the APC to convince the average Northerner to vote for a SW candidate over another Northerner that PDP may likely field.

So I will be very very happy for both parties to field Northern candidates cos hopefully it will hasten the dissolution of this forced union called Nigeria OR it will atleast bring my people, especially the so-called power brokers, in the SW to support restructuring which will then bring us stronger regions and a weak centre. I have said this in all my previous posts and I remain consistent in regard to this. This is the only way we can achieve anything useful from our individual and collective existence. All of this politicking has gotten in the way of reasonable governance. We should be talking about picking the best candidates regardless of background, but because we are a forced union, we all must have these discussions and make do with the compromises that come out of it which usually means that the best candidate never makes it to the front row. How then are we supposed to pick good leaders who mean well? With this current arrangement, that will never happen.

Quorax:
First of all, the North has said no block vote after Buhari, that means you are on your own. The South East and South South will always speak with one voice.

A lot of people in South West will also not vote Tinubu but the probability will be higher if it will be Osinbajo. I being an Igbo person will rather vote Osinbajo THAN Tinubu and I am sure there other igbos that will do same...

Tinubu has too many enemies, believe it or not...

Also note that the North you are banking on to back you up may disappoint you if PDP field in Northerner in 2023.

Yes, PDP will want to get back to the center for sure...and they will do anything to make that happen. Did you see how PDP won some Northern states? The north Wil surprise you. Wait

Gbaja recently trashed Bago to become number four man.. Even northern reps voted for Gbaja in their numbers as against their brother Bago..

A man from Kano was Gbaja's campaign director. A PDP rep from Anambra seconded his nomination as speaker. Even Wike openly supported Gbaja against Bago.. So keep wailing while new alliances are being formed.

Make Una no go make alliances, dey wait to stop SW. E go clear for Una yes when Star Boy take over. Keep shouting Tinubu up and down till campaign start and you see Northerners themselves carry Starboy matter for head.

Igbos are advocating for a Northerner to succeed a Northerner in 2023 but Yorubas are plotting to be president in 2023 yet you are still blaming the Yorubas for the relegation you brought on yourself and still planning to bring on yourself.










Amah70:
Disunity brought by Yoruba who have ruled for 11 years, yet wants Yoruba to succeed Buhari. Now Yoruba seen to have refused recognition to rotation of power, as Yoruba action depicts that Yoruba don't see Igbo as one of the three biggest founding fathers of Nigeria.

The prof made some valid points but let me opine. The main reason why Tinubu or any southerner will find it very difficult to win peradventure he contests in 2023 is that there is great DISUNITY in the south


The disunity is so clear that even a blind man could notice it. There is a cold war between the southern region especially the south easterners and those from the south west. For an example in this forum one constantly comes accross words like AFONJA, BIAFURO, Biafra, TIFFNUBU, COWNU, POTOPOTO REPUBLIC, BROWN ROOF REPUBLIC, SKULL MINING REGION, EROSION RAVAGED REGION E.T.C are some of the words used by each region to insult the other.


The just concluded elections speak volumes. the SE and SW voted in opposite directions. The North knows this fact, so power will remain in the north beyond 2023 unless the south could bury the hatchet and unite
exactly my thoughts, and I have said it on this forum that the North will rule for another 20 years due to the lack of unity of purpose by Southerners.

Bro I must be honest with you it can not be possible. I'm of SE origin but I don't deceive myself bro it can't work.

Just look at the situation on ground then do the judgement yourself. It can only happen if rigging for SE happens and who will do the rigging, is it fulani man or Hausa or a Yoruba man that will rig presidency for SE? Bro it's impossible.

If it's by vote pls which region apart from SE in fact not even all SE will vote for igbo as president bro take it or burst it it's a fact. Yoruba can not stand on the queue to vote for igbo man because we've really insulted and abuse these people so much, Hausa/Fulani will never because civil war and how all their ex leaders were assassinated and all the assassinators are igbo pls check history, Edo can not because we regard them as nobody hurling constant abuse on them and calling them all kinds of names finally Kanu of IPOB killed it all in fact he buried it all with his stupid miscalculation and utterances so bro forget it unless *miracle*.

I know I have offended my people again because my post annoys them simply for my refusal to fall for nasty pranks and be filled with destructive ego but I don't give a bleep.
Finally we claim we are not Nigeria then why talking presidency in Nigeria huh

God bless

Yes sir, in Politics anything is possible.
There is no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.


Democracy hasn't been practiced in Nigeria for long that's why many assume that votes will only vote for members of their tribes.


In 1993 presidential election, Abiola defeated Tofa in many Northern States, including Tofa's home State of Kano.

In 2019, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila defeated Umar Bago in the speakership race.

Each time opportunity calls for Nigeria to unite and move forward, selfishness, tribalism, religion and hatred will destroy it. If Nigeria wants to progress and live in peace as one ,they must all work for igbo president. I am not mixing words on that.

Mr Man, support your Northern candidate and leave Yorubas to pursue their presidential ambition come 2023.


However, don'tn't call the Yorubas betrayers if your plan does not succeed.


In 2015, Igbos backed Project Jonathan, it failed but they blamed and hated the Yorubas for it.

In 2019, Igbos backed Project Atiku, it failed, they are still blaming the Yorubas (even though the SW gave Atiku more votes than the SE) and now plotting to scuttle the Yorubas' chances in 2023.

In 2023, if Igbos back project Atiku or Project Tambuwal and it fails, they should just keep quiet and accept their fate in good faith.
