bukola,

the way to address a large influx of people into your region is to migrate enmass into their region, just so one of you can become a governor there?

not very clever is it

People are free to migrate to lagos, why are you panicking about it.

he is not even a yoruba but pretending to be one, the only time he posts is in relation to yoruba-ibo issues HES OBVIOUSLY IBO

@ commentors
I dont know why some think the SW is any different from the NC same thing, but theyre no outsiders in the SW to tamper with politics and religous lines so of course there is no drama NOW.

but i as a sensible person wouldnt be gov outside my region esp in an ethno-religous society such as nigeria- thats just asking for ethnic and religous killings.
NIGERIANS DONT BELIEVE IN ONE NIGERIA and its not a yoruba thing cause ijaw cannot govern edo state nether can yoruba, ibo urhobo. despite edo state being so mixed edo peeps have started using broken because there are so many ethnic groups that live in benin city.

[size=14pt] Apga has always had a candidate in lagos[/size] Remi Bakare- Adiukwu even had to change her name back to Mrs. Remi Adiukwu-Bakare

but anyway I dont see any difference between whats happening in jos and what could happen in lagos.

i kno to many muslims indignes of lagos + muslim in general who prefer a lagos muslim gov or atleast a yoruba, in all honesty Lagos ISLAND isnt capital anymore aswell as no military governance-

Muhhamed Buba Marwa,Ndubuisi Kanu,Ebitu Ukiwe, were military govenors of Lagos but it seems with the return of democracy the religous and tribal lines in Nigeria have heightened.

DONT MIND THEM some people CANNOT mind their business.

When Obasanjo was president and all the govs bar Tinubu were christians in the SW the CLOWN fulanis-hausas were doing the same exact thing asking why christians were Govs and not muslims

ibo-hausa-fulani = SAME THING TO ME!

ND- I KNOW for a FACT they like the whole settlers indignes thingy.

If not for it ND would have already been consumed by non niger deltans.

jason123:
I agree with some of your points however, I disagree with the regional party stuff. The reason is, I want the country to have a foundation of free education and health services and I think ACN would deliver that. The reason why they cannot do that now is because people from other parts of the country would come to the various states they control and run it bankrupt. Once the country has a GOOD FOUNDATION (where politicians would not be able to use the citizens since they are literates), then, we can start talking of other things but now, I would still support a Ribadu OR buhari/ utomi or duke ticket even Chime would do but NO to a tinubu or Ngige VP. MO!

ACN should control the west APGA east and ANPP north. middle bel niger delta split

If tinubu was to contest he would have the whole of the SW maybe edo and ATLEAST half of the north and middle belt, the states around the country will be split between other canidates. I guarantee it.

I see Tinubu like another Mko factor Ribadu cant be president and Buhari is OLD, too religous ( among the first  TO CAMPAIGN FOR SHARIA) why would any sane southerner want to vote him as president? Its alarming how much southeners support Buhari yet he doesnt believe in federalism or Secular laws.

Im nt talking of 2011 election but 2015-beyond

ACN just playing POLITICS

ACN knows Ribadu cannot beat Jonathan
ACN will not have alliance with Buhari/CPC- its impossible Buhari is the FLAG bearer for CPC and its Final
ACN know Jonathan WILL in in 2011- they just want to weaken PDP for the next election.

ACN seems to be building its base around Northerners AND SS/SE-

what better way to get support for future elections than to have a northern candidate with a VP from the SS/SE on the platform of a seemingly yoruba party.

If anything the NEXT presidential candidate in the 2015 or 2019 election will be most likely a tinubu or fashola type guy. All na politics.

BUT I WANT ACN TO REMAIN A REGIONAL YORUBA YESS!!! YORUBA PARTY. grass roots with the people of the SW.

These DU.MB southerners are the ONES WHO ARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR NIGERIA TO SPLIT.

Oba of yorubas in Jos- ALL DEM DON KOLO bastar.d!

I dont even feel sorry for any yoruba person killed in JOS.- same old story

If any person doesnt get it through their head that there isnt peace outside your region  PARTICULAR IN NIGERIA THAN youre a f. . . l .
Every year the same killings and death reprisals . SINCE 1960 so whats different? NOTHING

excanny:
That's not true. Yorubas usually dont asked questions when their folks are murdered. They prefer to let it slide.

far from the truth. We dont have time to be lookin after silly yoruba folks who are frolicking around Nigeria and are Mistakenly kidnapped in the SE/SS or killed in religous riot in the north. ANY SENSIBLE YORUBA person will stay in their OWN REGION. "OBA OF YORUBA IN JOS"- sounds soooo silly I can slap that id.iot myself.

Nigeria isnt even the type of country people migrate around and live peaceful lives. I would move to GHANA before i live in SS SE NE NW NC-

PhysicsMHD:
The right answer is clearly the repeal of all sharia related  laws or courts that contravene any other REAL law.

One cannot selectively apply "states' rights" when it suits one (to be able to enforce Sharia) against the provisions of standard federal law, which do not allow for the stoning to death of adulterers or the death sentence for adultery, among other things, but then assert that others cannot claim states' rights to 50% or greater derivation of proceeds from state resources against the current governmental arrangement. It's just power-drunk hypocrisy.

If the North wants Sharia, they MUST go for confederation, true federalism, or separation. Of course they won't do any of these.

hahaha lol they wont repeal any sharia laws, its southerners who cannot think past having presidency ONCE every 8- 16 years.

Even Ribadu, Buhari that southerners like have no interest in undoing sharia laws. Sharia is there to stay

Northerners will not repeal sharia law imagine the amount of deaths to follow Kai chai lai lai.
Middle belt will not let settlers  take their Lands and neither will NIGER DELTANS etc.

Minorities will not want to be consumed by Majority tribes the Edos urhobos and itsekiris dont believe in it, so of course the Major tribes will say HELL no. thats inevitable so the fear of domination by majority tribes is realistic.

In Warri Alone before Warri was even named a city sef urhobos are said to have made Itsekiris pay Taxes and rent land like settler do. can an itsekiri even win election in sapele HELL NO.

man presidency don blind southerners FULL

its crazy.

hahh that was funny tho

jay_getta:
I won't be surprised if BabaPupa is really Seyi, Tinubu's son. Because only a son could defend his father so vociferously as BaBapupa has done on behalf of Asiwaju!

hahah why dont you ask seyi instead of talking online?

theres no negotiations about what?

simple fact is if middle belt yoruba igbo niger deltans want to leave there isnt A DAMN thing the north can do about it. Kwara and Kogi can stay with the north -who fuckin cares afterall they can alway RELOCATE to the ODUA republic, like yorubas and ewe from Togo, Benin republic do, we dont all have to be in the same country.

breaking up is more realstic now that Abuja is the capital and not Lagos (yorubaland).

and MAJORITY of northerners dont believe in ONE Nigeria (they have their sharia law DIFFERENT from Nigerias Own) , so I doubt there will be any wars just the same terrorist clowns we have now in Nigeria.

Break up pls

Katsumoto:
You have started with your incendiary remarks; how do you mean by Yoruba muslims had mercy on their christian counterparts? So Yoruba xtians are at the mercy of muslims?

This is 2011; we do not need such remarks and sentiments.

hhahahahah
Obviously I was kidding. . . . about the mercy part.

1) Most if not all indignes Lagosians are MUSLIMS or theyre families were Originally muslims turned into christians. This is A FACT! INFACT SHARIA WAS IN MANY PARTS OF THE WEST, but yoruba muslims had mercy on their christian counterparts.

2) Yoruba people like it like THAT. We are not complaining so why are outsiders so into what yoruba people are doing in their states?

3) THE RELIGOUS CO-EXISTENCE IS ONLY THERE BECAUSE THE GOVERNORS IN THE WEST ARE YORUBA. If the govenor of Lagos state isnt a yoruba than I can GUARANTEE RELIGOUS and ethnic conflict.

For example- the young christian Lady that interrupted Muslim prayers at UI, If she was not yoruba all HE,LL would have broke out. or the Muslim who burned down some churches in ikorodu if they were not yoruba all HE,LL would have broken out and turned in to ethnic crisis OPC against Whoever.

Cause the fact is we ONLY co exist because we ARE YORUBA!

at the picture why tho?

The former president was sitting with former military dictator, Ibrahim Babanginda, Governor of Oyo state, Alao Akala and Gbenga Daniel of Ogun state when Fayose breezed into the reception area.

its crazy somtimes i think ibb and obj are playing games wit naija.

they never really disrespect eachother other than small comments but[b] are always seen together the next day.[/b] its very annoying.

cant trust both of them its like they are best friends or someshiot just playing politics wit naija.

ACN KNOWS IT CANNOT WIN IN 2011. its just playin politics

Buhari/ngige= no votes from the SW

Ribadu/ngige/utomi = no votes in the SW. as all the vps and even the presidetial apirants are not popular in the SW.
SW People wont vote for ACN in the presidetial election if they are unfamiliar with the presiden/vps- The name ACN means nothing if SW people dont know who the aspirants are.

infact ACN doing that is like giving more votes to PDP/jonathan.

igbobuigbo:
The last time I checked the same Atiku was selected on the basis of a northern consensus candidacy and not by the NE. Like MKO bragged in 1992, the SE can do without the SW votes. Somehow (DO NOT ASK ME HOW), the north holds the ace in our politics and if they support the SE, then its over and done with.

mko was a muslim so he won IN THE MUSLIM NORTH. middle belt and SW, bendel -thats all he needed. as for any southern christian not needing sw votes is laughable. See how goodluck jonathan needs sw votes for presidency SE will too. common sense

you think the north will support a non northerner over their own who is a non muslim at that? lol

Either way PDP is coming down FAST,

If Atiku emerges with an igbo vp Fine. If GEJ emerges with a northern VP fine. PDP will soon break itself. LOLZ.

wait to see how things play out Right now GEJ is my guy in 2011.

Buhari WILL NOT BE BETTER THAN GEJ.

SW and federalsim- we dont care about allocation or even presidency right now It seems the SS and SE have been blinded by presidency they no longer want TRUE FEDERALISM.

sbeezy8:
[size=14pt]Constitution review: Fashola, Akande, others renew call for true federalism [/size]

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola; National Chairman of the Action Congress, Chief Bisi Akande; and a university lecturer, Prof. Ropo Sekoni, have restated the call for true federalism as the National Assembly intensifies efforts to amend the Constitution.

All that SS and SE will not like this and that is COMPLETE utter BS they SE and SS WANT THE SAME THING THE SW,and Middle belt want- [size=14pt]which is federalsim and 100% control of their own resources and regional based Governments.[/size]

OIL IS NOTHING, its northerners who brought the rest of the country on its knees depending on Delta Oil how many average people in the west even know wtf govt allocation is before their Govs chop their Money? SW is fine without any silly Allocation,

SW want federalism, I would rather have free election and fair election, using our OWN resources than to throw any votes Away because what ever region will be mad over not winning an election get da shiot outta here.

any person that says ACN is a SW party ONLY is DRUNK out their minds

Atiku and Ben Obi were on its presidential ticket in 2007.

Ribadu is just as useless as utomi as well as Dele momodu and the Pastor guy. What ever happend to actually governing a state local government or something before wanting to run for president?

Nigeria. . . .

Tinubu and SW are beyond VP promises- all or nothing! Tinubu shouldnt even consider it.

if theres a SW person going for any position IT SHOULD BE PRESIDENT in 2015 or whenever. Fashola, mimiko maybe Oshiomolse hes from edo but half yoruba and muslim aswell hes popular in the SW too

As for people talking aboout being anti muslim muslim ticket they are very senseless - How does one expect any southerners to be united on the same ticket or two christians to be on the same ticket? Thats like saying NO SOUTH AND SOUTH presidential ticket. Why should southerner be FORCED to pick an hausa or a muslim from the north? When their MAJORITY sharia states wont vote for a christian anyway

Where do we get these silly rules from? Amuslim muslim ticket can win ANY DAY just as a Christian Christian ticket- as the country is HALF MUSLIM half of the country- willing to vote for it and probably a little more than half.

[size=15pt]states that will vote for a muslim muslim ticket- All sharia states(14) half of the middle belt(3) whole SW(6) + edo if adams oshiomole is on the ticket- He is muslim as well. = 22-23 states at the least  [/size]

bad news

atiku may only do one term but what happens when ANOTHER NORTHERNER comes after him and decides lets do away with zoning?

thats what happens balewa promised zik, shagari promised ekwueme but buhari took over, IBB promised Ubitu Ukiwe but replaced him with Aikhomu, held election mko abiola won, then Abacha took over, Abdulsalam along with ahkigbe etc. you aready know the story

im just thinking why do southerners keep falling for the same OLD TRICKS ARE THEY NOT TIRED?

atiku na ode he always talks about oil and foreign reserves, doesnt even mention non oil resources employment telecoms and federalism

excanny:
We might even get more if we play our 'victim' card very well and use it as our strongest weapon.

Disagree cause the majority of nigerians dont feel igbos are victims but creators of their own problems. You abuse fellow southerners & middle belters then expect them to vote for you. You form alliances with hausas- fulanis and expect southerners &middle belt to vote for you. You run with a vice president from the north and expect southerners to vote for you. Your main concern is looking for votes in SHARIA STATES - which will not happen and expect non igbo christians to vote for you. BY NOW IT SHOULD HAVE DAWNED ON IGBOS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR VOTES WHERE VOTERS ONLY CARE ABOUT RELIGION/ISLAM (North) esp the fact there law is islamic law.

Blazay:
OBJ(From the South-West) marginalized both the South-East and the South-South, so please let us hear word.
You lost your chances from 2003-2007.

aboki fool talkin stuupid as always, its funny how you say in 2003-2007 what happend to 1960 Zik, 1979 with ekwueme, 1985 Ebitu Ukiwe who was dropped for Aikhomu a SS person and 1999 with ekwueme again who was dropped for OBJ?

dayokanu:
How many Yoruba Politicians went for the Atiku show?

lol

ibb was even more sellable than atiku honestly.

lol either way it makes jonathans job easier.

this is funny when talking about stopping presidents

they talk of obj and GEJ

why didnt "we" stop buhari ibb abacha?
