Gandollaar:
As I read the heading, bile filled my mouth!

Animals can't dash me human rights...Fela

Southernern leaders are dead tigers or even none at all

Unless the north gifts, nobody is permitted to take!

When will southern leaders push for strict electoral reforms that would give everyone equal opportunity and votes would count?

QuotaSystem:


Honestly I wish this whole selfish madness would just end. Its really a race to the bottom.

All I want is a good, God-fearing President for Nigeria & Osibanjo is a good man, but y'all need to turn down the hateful, derogatory rhetoric from the SW.

Asgard13:
POWER WILL NOT LEAVE NORTH 2023.

ALL THIS YORUBA PEOPLE SHOUTING POWER MUST RETURN TO SOUTH ARE ON A VERY LONG THING
YORUBA DISRUPTED THE SOUTHERNER IN POWER AND WENT TO BED WITH PATRON OF FULANI HERDSMEN
NOW THEIR MASTERD DON THROW THEM UNDER THE LORRY DEM DEY SHOUT POWER MUST COME TO SOUTH..

WHICH SOUTH?

THIS ONE SAYING TOP NORTHERS DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND POLITICS OF NORTH..

NA THIS PEOPLE GO MAKE TINUBU PRESIDENT? WEY DEM NEVER MAKE THEMSELVES

All we’re SAYING IS THAT TINUBU MUST CONTEST FOR PRIMARIES
OSIBANJO MUST CONTEST FOR PRIMARIES

NO EXCUSES
NO STEPPING DOWN
NO STORIES WHATEVER..

THIS YORUBA PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND..

See them discussing like .......

DEM THINK SAY NIGERIA POLITICS NA LAGOS POLITICS

IGNORANTLY SOPHISTICATING

myobjective:


What hateful derogatory rhetoric?
How do you even want the Yorubas to react when communities upon communities are being attacked by Fulani bandits in Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, Kwara and Ekiti?

The people of the north-west suffering from the continuous attack of bandits may not look at it from the prism of ethnic attacks and a bid to take over their land from them since there the Fulanis are indigenous to that land but the Yorubas don't have such a relationship with the Fulanis.

Everyone knows that without the Fulani issues, the southwest would never have risen to hate or push negative rhetoric against the north but instead of smart people like you to dose the tension, you keep on escalating the whole thing by calling us names and playing politics with it.

Everyone knows that the Buhari gov't have been sympathetic to the Fulani criminals and terrorist against the interest of other Nigerians. He has used the instrument of States to protect them while playing dead to the yearning of other Nigerians.

People wouldn't just take it and assume that everything is okay, just because the interest of an Osinbanjo or Tinubu is on the line.

I will rather have peace, be able to farm and travelled around and have an Igbo president than the prospect of being kidnapped in my homeland and on the road with a Yoruba president.

QuotaSystem:


With peace, understanding & mutual respect everybody wins.

But it is not in the interest of the politicians, especially the opposition, for peace to prevail. Therein lies the dilemma.

Hence they stoke tensions, people are rubbed the wrong way, emotions run high and they react - sometimes excessively.

To be honest, everyone is guilty for escalating the crisis because the amount of gloating and insensitivity when innocent northern traders were killed in Ibadan was highly inciting and blood curdling. I personally abstained from commenting on the herdsmen crisis for months because there was clearly a political angle to the issue, but the general reaction of the majority of southerners (particularly SW) to the Shasha incident put one on the defensive. It was an unfortunate incident and it is best we all bury the hatchet, put it behind us & forge ahead; shaming the wicked politicians in an altruistic effort to collectively create a brigher future for us all. Cheers.

Not really, I think it is just perceived as such.

The SW also thought there was no fairplay in Ebele Jonathan's dictionary.

The SE thinks the same of Buhari's dictionary.

Politics by nature, is a game of competing interests.

FriendNG:



Not only that. The southwest governor(s) encouraged the attack in Shasha market.

Rather than ending the crisis, they use Amotekun to shoot at innocent traders. That on itself is a state sponsored terrorism.

Hence Amotekun has portrayed itself (in this case) as an ethnic militia and not a community police.

Arewa1stSon:
Southern presidency is possible!!

But...

Dear south west... Forget anything presidency!!

Even if power is going to the south.... It will never be south west!!
You people have been canceled!!

Even if power is going to leave the north!!

It will be going to the south south!!


Just for the Records: Northerners in Oyo, Ogun etc were attacked, killed, properties destroyed and displaced in what was a planned ethnic attack.

No single Yoruba Leader either political or monarch came out to openly condemn this barbaric act.

we will never forget the killing of our innocent northern traders in the south west!!

Even most educated yorubas both online and offline justified the barbaric act!!

the NORTH remembers

Tell Tinubu that there's still time to form a political party that will bring the whole south together against the north!!

Atleast that will be a small challenge for the north... Than wasting his time and leter be kicked aside!

The north will never support a Yoruba into the corridor of power!!

Thank God that you people showed your hatred for the north on time....

I will even prefer an igbo man... My face to face enemy into power... Than a bloody back stabber!!

myobjective:


If you say that the Oyo state government didn't manage the violence well, then you have a point but to say he collided with Amotekun to kill northerners in an insignificant market, then that is being mischievous.

He should have acted on time to bring normalcy to the market but he never sided with anyone in his handling of the unfortunate incident.

FriendNG:


But are you denying the fact that bullet was fired and not by police officers?

myobjective:


No bullet was fired. Most of the destruction was done by hoodlums outside the market.

What I expect the governor to do was to deploy enough security men to the Hausa quarter in Shasha and be on the ground to stop the hoodlums from arson and harassing mostly northern traders.

FriendNG:

PaChukwudi44:

Buhari is the one in charge of the army and not the Governor.

Look at the way you are cowardly begging aboki because of imaginary presidency promised the SW in 2023.How many times have FriendNG apologized or try to give explanations for the thousands of southeners killed by fulani herdsmen?

nisai:
My sister, I tire.

QuotaSystem:


Several mistakes were made, and to be honest, anyone including myself would never tolerate being killed or forcefully ejected from my territory without some form of resistance. However, you're right about Amotekun abandoning their duties and true targets to callously start attacking innocent traders; it definitely gave the attack an ethnic colouration and was quite inciting, further fueling the crisis.

What anyone needs to do is take a panoramic view of the whole situation, one would discover that we're just being pawns on the chessboard of wicked, selfish politicians who are deliberately sponsoring & fueling the crisis for their political gain - either through chaos to frustrate the President or for their seccessionist/separatist agenda.

The only way to collectively win therefore is to forgive one another, agree to stop peddling divisive, hateful & derogatory narratives and instead give peace a chance, support a credible 2023 candidate that would consolidate on present gains and lead us towards the Nigeria of our dreams.

QuotaSystem:


Pure, unadulterated delusion of grandeur.

Any assumed obligation has been eroded by recent events, and I find it amusingly surprising that you all cannot smell it.

Right now, the SS, the goose that lays the golden egg, are in pole position to clinch the Presidency with overwhelming northern support. As much as I love Tinubu for his loyalty, his region can no longer be trusted to protect northern interests and that has always been the compass that determines our political bearing. Amaechi & Jonathan are the candidates to beat as things stand.

There are actions, then there are consequences.

Honor10:


Thunder fire u and your generation.

So, SW should allow your useless brothers to kill them finish because of presidency?

May Ogun wipe out your generation. Pls, go to hell with your presidency.

seunmsg:



The north is playing a game and it is left for the south to analyze the situation and turn it to her own advantage. With unity, the south can beat the north in their own game.

There is nothing wrong in Tinubu, Jonathan, Osinbajo, Amaechi, Umahi, Fayemi etc contesting for the ticket of APC. If Jonathan wins based on backing from northern hawks, I expect all other southern leaders to rally behind him and hijack him the same way northerners hijacked Buhari when he became president.

Once he’s sworn in as president, he should build a United southern coalition to ditch whatever agreement he had with the north and handover to another southern president. The north cannot make any meaningful argument for the presidency in 2027 so he will be justified. That way, we can even have a southern president for 12 years. The north will only end up playing itself.

SilverNorGold:
Good...

I will vigorously campaign for any of the following candidates:

1. Governor Dave Umahi.. (my favorite SE governor. He made my top 20 list of great Nigerians we should emulate..)

2. Goodluck Jonathan.

3. Amaechi.

4. Ogbonnaya Onu.. (patriotic, loyal and industrious)

5. Yul Edochie.. (My favorite Nollywood actor. He hates Buhari, that's my only problem with him. But eh, if I like you, I like you.. )

For equity's sake, power should return to the South, particularly the South East... If not, then South South..

Basically, any good candidate from the SE or SS will have my support. The North and the SW should not contest AT ALL... However, If the SW wants to contest, then the North, especially the NE and the NC, will also contest..

To avoid this, the North and the South West should go and rest and let the SE and the SS have their fun...

God bless Nigeria.

Why do you think that it's important to continue as one failed nation? enough is enough, The Yoruba will not stop killing the Fulani, We are just waiting for you people to start the revenge in the north then full cinema will start.

Speaktruth88:
The stupidity of the comments in this thread. The north brought in OBJ, same north voted in Yar Adua and GEJ the north voted GEJ over Buhari when GEJ started listening to bigoted fools the north voted him out.

Don’t forget it’s Southerners that removed zoning in their shortsightedness under GEJ.

Nobody will vote for SE president go and deal with your bigoted internal problems.

You will not win elections without northern votes. Bring good candidates and we have always supported.

Speaktruth88:


Please remind us of the fight you have been able to win by yourself. Don’t talk pass your power. You will sit on the sidelines like everyone else has done at various times in this country. If you like do NADECO or whatever modern variant you like, we will all continue to wear this one trouser. All this wailing no one can hear because the world has bigger problems than loudmouth Nigerians

myobjective:



The power is not with you.
If over push your luck too much you will find yourself with Niger and Chad in the same country, cut off from the arable land of middle belt tribes and the oil in southern Nigeria.
