The problem with the igbos is their penchant to be clever by half..

Igbos only use the word merit when they are dominating others but it's quota system when others dominate..

Look at the Super Eagles team,they dominate and call it merit despite their abysmal failure but they still find it okay. Let it be another Musa,Shehu or Sadiq then all hell will be lose..

They should stop hiding their heads in the sand.

What stopped your Musa, Sadiq and shehu from dominating Europe, call me 10 Hausa that play in Europe and I will give you 200 Igbo players playing top flight football in Europe, or Europe is Igbo land too?

You have no argument against the Igbo only hatred.

helinues:
Insensitive set of people will always be insensitive about situation like this.

Mos of you guys education is just wasted

No body is happy about this, thesame Yoruba people always laugh anytime unknown gunmen strikes in the East.

WesternOligarch:
Thé point is that tinubu being president or not won't stop ESN/UGM and Herdsmen from going on a rampage in the south east and Igbo presidency is a pipe dream and even VP una no go see.

Just see what you are praying for another person, and it is happening in your state today... Ondo comes to mind.

RIP to the dead, when these attacks is happening in the South East, Yoruba were laughing and rejoicing not knowing that the South entirely has been mapped out for attacks, it now reaching the south west.

I pray God heal the wounded and grant the family if the dead fortitude to bear the lost.

This man is so arrogant, he thinks it is his birth right to be a president and Nigeria owes him that, just like his supporters.

Don't worry, Buhari and the North will put you in your place.
time for Yoruba my foot.

Indispensable85:
Who be dis uncircumcised philistine? Don't ever come near my mention in your life. I distaste it when neonates come to my mention. Locate your colleagues please.

Don't worry by Sunday night or Monday morning, you will speak big grammar on your way to yabaleft, you and you god tilumbu.

Indispensable85:
Lol......una too funny. You think it's that easy to just come and say a name in the middle of the convention? He'll get the shock of his life. If he has somebody, this is the best time to say it not on the convention ground because it'll be too late.

E never clear for your eye, I will quote you on Sunday.

Indispensable85:
I said this yesterday. It's impossible for the governors to reach an agreement on a candidate. The reason is simple, there are too many interests within their rank. Ayade, Badaru, Yahaya Bello, Fayemi, Umahi are all contesting while the others are split amongst Tinubu, Osinbajo and Amaechi.

If Buhari continues with his hide and seek without mentioning a name, they'll all go to the field and slug it out.

You people fail to understand this, Buhari already have a candidate, forget what the APC governor's are doing, Buhari is hold the name to his chest, a day to the convention or in that day you will hear his name.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


I see why Tinubu lapdogs have been making so much noise lately. It is clear that Buhari and the Cabals anointed candidate will get the ticket. The same way Adamu was handpicked also.

I stopped arguing with supporters when I noticed that they know nothing about Nigeria politics. They believe politics in Nigeria is about alignment, politics for Northerners is all about interest.

Anything that won't benefit the North, they won't support, it's not about Buhari it's about the North.

Malory:
By this time next week Tinubu will be in SDP

Comrade Lower you voice. hahaha

kenzysmith:
If tunubu can hand pick even drug addict like sanwolu as governor i c nothing bad in buhari picking is own candidate. Afterall tunubu was allowed 2 pick vp,senate president,speaker, he also had d privillige to moue with bullion van wetin happen oliver ask for more!

Lawan was Buhari choice not Tinubu, Akume was Tinubu choice in 3015 which Saraki hijacked.

Corporate2020:
APC is not his part. His party is CPC after running from ANPP. Someone that Alli Modu Sheriff chased away from ANPP is the same solder ant that wants to face the Jagaban Borgu. Even Obasanjo who is Lucifer's cousin was caged by the Jagaban Borgu, not to talk about this breathing mannequin that does not know what is going on in his immediate environment again.

We are ready to fight dirty, and we mean it. We will fight the soldier any to a standstill

We can't wait to witness that fight, will be watching on 3D.

Basic123:
But I keep asking myself.

What offence did Tinubu commit that is making Buhari treating him this way despite the fact that he contributed 60% of effort to make him the president.?
when APC was formed ACN had 7 governors,20 senators, 80+ HOR members while Buhari CPC had just one governor and 3 senators.Tinubu sponsored his campaign both in primary and main election and also did the same in 2019.


I want a reasonable answer from a reasonable person please?..I want an intellectual discussion please,especially from a neutral angle..not from Afonja or Nyaminrin angle...Thanks

The simple truth is this, it's not about Buhari or Tinubu, they North doesn't trust those southern politicians. The reason why you see them bringing Jonathan up is because they have tested him and they trust him to some extent.

Forget what Nairaland political analyst are saying, North plays politics if hatred, if you are not a Northerner or if they won't benefit, they won't support you.

phineas:
Interesting times ahead. Sounds like he is about to endorse Osibanjo.A christian from the south is the right move at this time.

To promote National interest is to promote a southern side christian Presidency instead of a muslim muslim ticket. In a country such as ours this is VERY important.Its called ensuring diversity in the selction process

You people are funny, you have moved from Tinubu to Osibanjo... you think the North doesn't know that Osibanjo is Tinubu stooge?

Wait for another shock.

I Will never argue with Yoruba and Tinubu supporters again, I remember telling them this same thing since last year.

HomoSapiien:
Politics is a game of interest and you align your interest with a loyal and trustworthy person. Interestingly, could be that Tambuwal got offered a bigger offer from Atiku and had to switch. It’s not always about my person from the north as it appears.

Tinubu has shown he’s loyal and trustworthy, all those people he’s helped politically will be there to trust whatever bid he’s offering them should he get there, because they know he’s show a trustworthy trait politicians needs to ensure their political survival.

That is why I said you Yoruba people are funny, your analysis of Nigeria politics is funny, this is not UK.

The North will always support their own, if you like sell your father to them as a sign of trust. They will always support their own, watch out how they will disgrace Tinubu next week, I am not hating on Tinubu but that is just the Truth.

You people should try and travel more, see how these Northerners behave, ask your people in the North if Tinubu have any chance of becoming Nigeria president.

The signs are already there and only a blind man will claim ignorance if seeing it, you think Shettima and Kano state governor are ready to fight Buhari and his cabals and the whole North because if Tinubu? Their houses will be set on fire immediately by Kano and Borno youths.

See the North doesn't think how you do, to them every thing is about them, who ever Buhari lifts his hand wins the election, and Buhari does not like Tinubu nor the North like Tinubu.

In 2015, GEJ made so many northern politicans but they still betrayed him, infact, I was there when the former governor of Bauchi state Dr ISA Yuguda asked his supporters not to vote for him in the Senate race if they won't vote GEJ, but thesame Yuguda masterminded the downfall of GEJ in Bauchi.

The North will show you love to your face and on the eleventh hour, they will betray you. The North will never support any southern candidate unless they will benefit from it. And they have calculated and GEJ is the best bet, if at all they are to support a southern candidates.

Take your time, stroll out, meet a Hausa man in your locality, ask him about the election and if they will support GEJ or Tinubu, if he is sincere, you will get your answer.

HomoSapiien:
Obviously, Prof Osinbajo will be a piece of cake for Atiku to be eaten raw. This is all obvious because the VP has no issue based campaign achievement to campaign his way in. No matter what he’s obviously part of Buhari government and their horrible governance of 8years. Beside he’s a pastor and not a Muslim, how’s he going to fly his ambition in the north? Coupled with the fact that he has no political clout, neither is he widely known amongst the political elites, especially in the north. I’m sure APC will not make the mistake of fielding him.

As with the rubber stamped Senate President Ahmed Lawan, although a northerner, he’s not even widely known. We haven’t seen him display any political strategy. Also a part of the government with the most horrible retrogression in the history of Nigeria. More so, Atiku is more popular than him in the South and he has no political structure whatsoever anywhere aside the area he’s representing in the chamber.

GEJ isn’t even an option. He’ll not fly. Both the north and the south understands too well he’s a pun being used by the elites and Buhari cabal to achieve their evil aim of allowing the north take country through him for another 12 years (obviously he’d be their lapdog in his 4 years).

Amaechi is a joker.

Most election are won by strategy and having a structure that can push your interest in far remote village. Remove these two factors, popularity is a waste of time. And you know in APC only Tinubu has the two factors in large measure

Only Tinubu has shown the political strategy, enough to oust an incumbent president in 2015. I believe if Tinubu emerge and Buhari throws his support behind him, owning to the fact that Buhari still has some relevance in the north. And with Tinubu achievement in Lagos and his charm of always having the best minds on board. He’s go
ing to clinch the Ticket.

Yoruba people are funny, for those of you Yoruba who think Gandoje and few Northerner who are deceiving Tinubu really love him, see what Tambuwal did to Wike.

The North always support their own.

thebosstrevor1:
Bro, your qualifications has nothing related to sales.

Go online, check what the role is all about and learn from there.

I am not in the industry but i think you need an Engineering degree and something related to marketing to work in the sales and business development of a oil company.

Also you need experience to work in that industry.

Oga wetin concern engineering with sales and business development again?

Dsalvo:
This is why the SW is the only region the North respects and know they must defer to.

Just look at what is coming out of the mouth of a grown adult.

Considering it is folks like you who will averagely make up the calibre of politicians from your region, is it any surprise you suck at politics with your leaders like Obi behaving like spoilt brats and stressed women on a 'heavy' time of the month? .

Contrast with how the average Yoruba talks here to note that it is not a mystery you lot suck at politics and why no one has regard for you.

Cry me a river bro, I repeat, Buhari will impose Jonathan, North, Southeast and South South will vote for him. Let's see Tinubu and Yoruba popularity, Tinubu better have some guts like Peter Obi and quickly decamp to SDP.

Yoruba must be on the ballot.

MrMcJay:
The politicians in the North are not for GEJ Presidency. In fact, they are the ones fighting tooth and nail for Tinubu. They are doing this because they have vested interests and they know Tinubu is capable of taking care of their interests as he has a long history of doing so.

The people drafting GEJ into this race are those who can never win elections on their own. The so-called cabal are yesterday's men who were living on meagre pension before Buhari became President, Malami who ran away from Kebbi guber primaries, one recharge card seller in Katsina who got to Aso Rock became a billionaire overnight and some other electoral liabilities who can't even win their wards.

Bashir Ahmad collected his own wotowoto yesterday. With Federal might, he ran away from the venue of the primaries. Malami that is giving them legal advice saw failure staring at his face in Kebbi and decided to run away.

As it is, Buhari is playing defensive politics by hiding and shifting goal posts. All that has an expiry date, he will be forced to do for GEJ what he couldn't do for Malami, Bashir Ahmad and Co. It is not Tinubu running, it is interests running.

hahahaha Yoruba will not kill me with laugh. let me educate you on this, it was the northern governors that brought the idea of Jonathan as consensus candidate, Buni, Badaru and Bagudu are championing it, the only northern governor against that plan is El rufai, try and come down to the North and hear public opinion of these Northerners, every market, mosque, gathering, everywhere is Jonathan.

You think those governors that are deceiving Tinubu mean well for him? then you truely don't know the North. Ask your brothers staying in the far North, they have all concluded their plans, it's either a Northerner as president or they give it to Jonathan who will give them back.

Dsalvo:
100% correct response start to finish. Yorubas know their worth and will demand it. Yorubas have the leverage and importance to gain what they demand also.

Regardless of how some ascribe mythical political superiority to the North, the reality is that the North cannot go it alone, to do as they please regardless of serious damage done to others, without causing lingering resentment and political bad blood that will destroy a currently very fragile and divided Nigeria.

The North can never impose GEJ on the APC to the detriment of Yorubas no matter how desperate they are to have a southern stooge replace PMB.

GEJ will never ever be the candidate of the APC because the APC does not belong to Buhari and his minions. It is merely their franchise for 8 years.

We are already in the final year of the 8. The biggest fool in Nigeria is anyone, like IPOBians, who thinks many wont fight Buhari to a standstill to prevent him destroying the APC he will then be free to walk away from next year after creating a big mess for many .

Hahahaha cry me a river, North will impose Jonathan, North, Southeast and South South will vote for him.

Game over, the Southwest can keep crying.

[quoteth author=Alawode01 post=113215062]Asiwaju all the way, anyway, anyhow.but the truth must told, Nigeriansre need to shame cabals instead of praising them or hailing them,this very poor for our democracy process,it shows that they didn't have the love of masses,are to reverse as a country?.[/quote]Who are the Nigerians, North, southeast and South South will vote Jonathan. So leave cabals alone.

Zico5:
Jonathan, who kno that mumuism that the north want to use to sabotage the chance of South. Nigeria will never go back to Egypt. Let him go and rest. We don't want double faced man.

Is Jonathan from the North? If it is the time of South, Jonathan is also. southerner.

simplistical:
LOL, you sound really ridiculous, you mean good infrastructure doesn't grow the economy??. i don't blame you because you didn't enter economics class. please google ''infrastructure and economic growth''.

Hahaha funny, and how did restaurant, shopping mall and super market become infrastructure?

simplistical:
KK,
please what infrastructure did he put on ground while he was a governor......Road, bridges, schools, airport, stadium, market, etc.

these infrastructure is what grows a state economy. eg very good road and bridges in the city center will attract good shopping malls, good eatery, supermarket, etc, thereby creating more employment and human capital development

How does super market, shopping mall and entries create human capital development. You must be from Asaba.

I didn't want to join this argument but did you just say that shopping mall, restaurants will grow an economy?

You must be from one of the less industrialized States.

Nigerialabalaba:
U be olodo. Since 1999 until 2015, Lagos dey opposition state. Na die u go die if u rig for Lagos.
All dis grammer and twitter no go win u election. 2023 na BAT vs Atiku like 1993.
If u wan win election, go canvass from d electorates no go dey look for concussion.
Buhari no go support any lightweight APC aspirant wey no fit defeat PDP and Atiku.

Saturday is not far anymore, I will remember to quote you.

Reference:
Once again, Nigerians desperately trying to elevate individuals above institutions.
For in places where democracy as a process works properly, when you are 'defeated politically', particularly on account of misdemeanors or bad performance, you are done, finished, forever.

Here, to prop a failed structure the establishment won't mind raising the dead.... literally and figuratively speaking..... so unfortunate.
But I won't entirely blame him for this landmine he straddles, because we are yet to know the terms of the deal that spared him from an inquest after his tenure and that has made him a puppet on a string in the hands of this government..... so nothing will surprise me.

Quite unfortunate.
His stock continues to slide by the day.

Yoruba people will not stop amusing me, So Jonathan failed because a particular region who are desperate to rule the country again confirm him a failure.

And thesame people think that Tinubu and Osibanjo are the best candidates to govern Nigeria.

E go shock una.

Truthisunique2:
you are very naive, an average Yoruba man believe in singing his praise than seeing the true picture

The governor's sign paper or eulogies tinubu how does that mean they are with him

I can tell you for free even the governor's won't have say on any who is the next flagbearer, history is there for you

Whenever critical decisions are to be made in apc governor's are only used to hold acceptance meeting already taken by buhari

E.g when there was issue of zoning, cabal shared it and sent elrufai to confirm it, your akeredolu objected with other tinubu loyalist but it stood

When there was chairman fight, tinubu governor's asked for primaries but buhari saiid consensus and only gave his pro buharists governor's the task of selecting five names to choose from

Tinubu minority govs have never had say in the scheme of things

Oga leave these Yoruba people, talk from today to next year they won't agree, Saturday is just by the corner.

Nigerialabalaba:
Consensus na back door to give aspirant wey no popular d ticket and dat pesin go lose for general election because d main election no go be by consensus. Dat na why I support APC governors wey insist say dem no do consensus.
D group don see say dem no fit win because PYO na featherweight politician and if e no fit win ordinary APC primaries , shey na a candidate like Atiku e wan con face wey no go beat am silly. shiorr

Same way Lagos consensus candidates have been losing?

Don't even tell me that they conduct primaries in Lagos, because same Lagos primaries style will be used on Saturday if at all primaries will hold.

Ahmed Lawan/ Dave Umahi are Buhari choice.

inconsequential ipob yoot. But I think ameachi will be president?? What has changed.

Ameachi and Wike are the last two candidates an Igbo man will support, we rather vote for Buhari than those two.
