Every bonafide adult that meet the constitution requirement is qualify to be president.

Aconomist:
We have all seen what a disaster Geoduck Johnathan (the first president from the SS/SE) was. And most of the governors and politicians from the region are hardly better. While the North is a big problem, we must also admit that the SS/SE is not producing politicians qualified to rule the country.

"Compelled to vote with food items or 200-500-1000naira"? So, if you "collect food items or 200-500-1000naira" for your vote, you would say you were compelled like someone put their knee on your throat and made you "collect food items or 200-500-1000naira for your vote? Is it not more true that you sold your vote for a pittance?

They don't just "know many are wretched". They make many wretched so you would be compelled by as little as ₦1000, which is why smart people go out and compel people to vote for them with something better, like a road or a library or less taxation or clean a swamp or protection or even $1000. That, after all, is the essence of voting, to elect people you trust and that mirror your values

Forgive me, but I truly can't understand your attitude to the right to vote that we fought for with blood but I guess you are free to sell your vote for "food items or 200-500-1000naira". Its probably illegal but who cares really, it's your vote. But when you now get say, bubu, and resort to moaning that he is not feeding lazy fuqs, I hope it is remembered one did oneself when one collected "food items or 200-500-1000naira" for one's vote.

First,I have not voted before and I don't plan to vote.
Also, compulsion doesn't require "putting knees".
It only requires something irresistible.
Furthermore, it's not all about smartness.
If a selfish or/and greedy person shares 1000dollars, it's more likely that he/she will embezzle more than twice the total amount that was spent on all voters by hook or crook.
Wickedness doesn't make anyone competent for leadership.
Lastly,I don't believe in promises made during campaigns but I prefer a convincing plan that is clearly stated.

Eastern Nigeria produced Jonathan

Nigeria is built on a tripod of North, West and East.

East ——- Jonathan
North—— Buhari
West——- Next President

Jonathan is he from the east?

Aconomist:
I consider Atiku somewhat qualified compared to someone like Goodluck Jonathan. Atiku is corrupt, but at least he can communicate and has a clear economic strategy to float the Naira, land reform, reducing recurrent expenditure, etc.

Who told you floating the naira is Nigeria's best interest Mr. Aconomist...?

Is Atiku not from the same North that you claim has a big problem. Just tell us you're are a propagator of Atiku's candidacy and we'll understand

What criteria do you have in mind so as to quantify the qualification of SE\SS to produce a presidential candidate?

SaintBishop:

No! He is from the North

Bro south-south does not exist outside the goofy and so-called Niger Delta. When they want to cheat the people from so-called Niger Delta, they cajole them with south-south. But when it comes to how the national cake should be properly distributed, they lump them into East without the courtesy of qualifying the East.

I was wondering too why they are lumping the south east and south South together, reeks of mischief. Like I said, no matter what they say .. the current thing being considered is south east presidency, not Igbo presidency and there's no south South in it.
All this lumping na to bring in Amaechi from the backdoor

loopman:
No! He is from the North

Jonathan is from the south south not east, you yorubas should allow the igbos to rule this country, you are not the only ones in this goddamn country.

Bro, Chibuike Amaechi, who has publicly proclaimed himself Igbo is okay with me. However as Minister of Transportation, he has failed so far to bring the goodies home.

Obasanjo is from Lagos, not Ogun state. Let’s maintain the energy

Your entire reasoning sounds upside down to me but I'm certain its my fault.

If you can not resist having sex with an unwilling person would you claim you were raped too?

"If a selfish or/and greedy person shares 1000dollars, it's more likely that he/she will embezzle" indeed, with your permission however, since you collected payment and they charge interest. Perhaps it is you the receiver who should just have been wiser?

Wickedness definitely doesn't make anyone competent for leadership, but when the competent do not vote or challenge to be voted for, they lack compassion and allow the wicked to be the leaders. If kind and compassionate refuse to vote to fill the posts, wickedness and incompetence will fill it for you and through your inaction you validate the rule of the wicked and incompetent.

Lastly, you don't believe in promises made during campaigns but you prefer promises of a convincing plan that is clearly stated. I suppose you mean clearly stated when campaigning is over or yet to begin. lol.

Hell, you will daily increase in Wisdom because great things are ahead of you.

Like I said Jonathan is from the south not east,he's ijaw not igbo.

juman:
@bolded
You are wrong.
Why must it be a politician?
There are uncountable number of non politicians that could be better leaders across the country.

There is possibility that non politician that interested could be better president.

If you are talking about non-politicians the list is endless. But Nigerians are too stupid to vote for a non-politician. And it is hard for non-politicians to get the financial support to run a campaign.

This is why Nigeria is a zoo. Herdsman and illiterates as president.

SaintBishop:

What is the meaning of Azikwe in ijaw ?

Nigeria is a tripod of North West and East

Jonathan already used the Eastern Nigeria turn

Eastern Nigeria cannot take two turns before Western Nigeria

You cannot be shouting SE/SS when it suit your purpose and then separate SE from SS when it suit you...let’s maintain the consistency

Multiple exchange rates is even more prevalent in a floated exchange rate system.......controlled exchange rate mechanism is best for Nigeria.........

Na me u they ask? Go and ask Baysela people what is the meaning of Azikwe, and btw azikwe is a nick name given to Jonathan by igbos azikwe is not his name.

I am not even from the east i don't understand what you mean by when it suit your purpose. Whatever that crap is i don't really care but come 2023, it is the turn of the east or south south to rule Nigeria, you yorubas need to take 10 thousand seat back you are not the only ones in this country.
And for your informantion, Nigeria is made up of North, East, west and south south

The bold part shows not only how foolish you sound, but how also ignorant and hypocritical

Nigeria is actually made up of NORTH and SOUTH!! If you want to break that down according to Nigeria founding fathers constitution, its is Northern , Western and Eastern regions

Show me the constitution that recognizes Nigeria as North, West, East and SS

Too many ignorant fools on this platform sha

And you are more stupid for calling Jonathan igbo,it is only a dumb slowpoke that will call an ijaw man igbo, such pure stupidity

Just the way you people see anyone above the Niger River as Hausa, anyone East across the Niger is Ibo


You are not wise and can’t play this je game better than your masters

What do you mean by 'You people'? don't drag me into your stupidity habeg, my people are all aware that not everyone from the north is hausa, we have non- hausas/fulanis who are actually from the north,
only m0rons and dead brain nincompoop will think otherwise.

From your own dumb logic then it is safe to say African is a country since most Westerners see African as a country. Is African a country?
Like i said before, it is only a dead brain m0ron that will think otherwise.

You are masters of ignorance nothing more!

HellVictorinho:

Great questions are ahead of you.

As in, if even I myself do not get off my ass and become deserving of your vote? Then I must be very stupid indeed for not taking advantage of there being nobody, and if I check the payscale for the job I might have changed my mind, but of course that's not what you mean by "deserve".

Nigeria has millions of people and some will always say one candidate or another deserves their vote since we do not all use the same standard to determine who deserves to be voted for. If I do not find my ideal deserving person then I can at least ensure by my vote that my most undeserving person does not win.

The recent US election is an example. Trump is most undeserving as far as I am concerned, while Biden is not ideal. It's rather easy to vote for the lesser of two evils, don't you think? If I don't, is it not I who gets to live under 4 more years of magastupidness? Why would I desire to be so irresponsible for 4 years of my life?

See my current ideal person for next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria here. Last time I checked he ain't even thinking of running.

Exactly.
People like you don't mind voting because you feel someone must be there.
What if there is no public post to be occupied?
The issue is that the people that enhanced the creation of Nigeria also enhanced the probability of wicked or/and selfish people making up whatever government.
It's a foundational matter.
Furthermore,it takes more than "I want to run" to occupy a public post.
Also, the fact I didn't vote doesn't mean I shouldn't state other facts.

HellVictorinho:

Martian please! This sort of generalisation gets my goat up especially when based on a thoughtless assumption. What you ask above is like saying I would go and vote under Abacha or Gowon when there was no public post to be occupied. Does anyone give you the opportunity to vote "if there is no public post to be occupied"?

Basically, you are insulting buda by claiming buda has no brain!

HellVictorinho:

The above makes even less sense. Who "enhanced the creation of Nigeria" with the probabilities you mention above? Is your vote not meant to "enhance", or at least, mold Nigeria as you wish? Do you really see yourself with your one vote as so powerless you might as well not use it?

HellVictorinho:
Furthermore,it takes more than "I want to run" to occupy a public post.

Indeed it does! Ordinary local government chairman I'm still failing to run, but the local government library that I do run is a start. As is said, a journey of a thousand miles starts with me voting, or something along those lines.

HellVictorinho:
Also, the fact I didn't vote doesn't mean I shouldn't state other facts.

No one is telling you not to state other facts or to vote even. Just that whenever I hear you moan and wail about Nigeria from now on hell, I'll see you as a "don't even vote moaning wailer".

Level up would be encouraging others to vote. Level up further will be encouraging others to vote for you instead of the useless incompetent corrupt people they will vote for without you if you'd be any better, that is. Foundation though is ensuring people understand that their vote is an expression of their will. Don't use it, no will, and you get to suck on everyone else's will. Yuk!
