@Manugo, Buhari's tears was a ploy to incite his followers. He smelled his defeat and knew that the ordinary Hausa man has been brainwashed to think that they are being marginalized by the rest of the country. So his tears were meant to invoke passions in his supporters. And we saw where those passions led to. Some people are so insincere.

@ekt_bear, oh they won't go to their homeland, what do they have there? Look as an American on Huffington post pointed out, those with the violent brand of Islam claim to be peace loving when they are in the minority. The moment they swell in numbers, they do not hesitate to take up arms against their hosts. Same thing we see in Plateau, Benue and Niger. Dozens of Muslims in Niger state including an Imam was murdered over cattle dispute. Why? They opened their doors to their "brothers".

@Ivynwa, it is just funny. I know that things will never get better in this country at the rate these people are going. The CIA was right about 2015. Intelligence reports say that Al Qaeda is in the North. Who invited them? It is equally sad that the North feels more affinity to Niger and Chad than the Middle Belt and South. Really sad! But we must not keep silent again. We did for 38 years and nothing came out of it. A split is the best option, no doubt.

Oh Lawd, Tippy Top is just a silly Arrow. I am sure you find it hard to see beyond your nose. Poor chile. SPLIT THE DAMN COUNTRY, ABEG! Silly Arrow!

What the be intimate with are you doing up north if you hate them that much? Why not come back south and do some serious work rather than  servicing 70yr Alhajis.

Don't be stupid my friend. I don't owe you any explanation on why I live in Abuja. LOL! Almajiri lover! Besides, need I point out to you that Abuja is the Federal capital territory and the owners happen to be the Gwaris, eh? Please don't stress your pea sized brain on my account. I live where I please until we know the next step to take as a nation, ok? 

deadie:
Only in one section of Nigeria will a group of people wake up and in the name of politics, religion, or tribe head off to slaughter another group. Give them Buharistan where they can fully practice their desert religion, easily oppress women, practice paedophila and blow themselves up.

EXACTLY!!!

Better than me hiding in your stinking "hole" I tell you that.

Ewwww, you are so disgusting. People like you present a perfect argument for birth control. Why the fudge didn't your mother swallow you up. LOL! I am not even going to talk dirty with you.

Then the Brits left, and Pakistan left taking Bangladesh, but then  Bangladesh left Pakistan.  Just two years ago Indian and Pakistan were about to nuke each other over Kashmire. Who's laughing now? Hehehe!!!!

India is laughing real hard brother man. Check the level of suicide bombings in Pakistan and India and do your maths. SMH. Olodo!

Care to display your cache of arms in the impending doom you advocate? Get lost, "brave woman".

Aww struck some nerve, didn't I? Thought you were going to hide in your hole forever, spineless coward!

ekt_bear:
What is wrong with converting the koran into yoruba? What language should it be in? Arabic only

Who has time to learn to read arabic, lol

Maybe I should learn to read greek and aramaic to read the bible

Lol! Well we have been already condemned for translating the Bible to English. Umm, why do you think we are second rate humans in their eyes. Well, real change must happen. We cannot continue to be the ones at the losing end just because we believe in one Nigeria. People shy away from the truth, and that is why we have allowed the problem of religious intolerance to get to this dangerous level of bombs and terrorist style prison breaks.

It is annoying, really. Check the people on FB and Twitter calling for one Nigeria after mayhem is visited on either non Muslims or non indigenes, it is usually Northern Muslims or their apologists. They say all these and go back to their living room and agree that the South had it coming. Educate the Almajiris now? No, they pass the info to their imams to fill their head with nonsense conspiracies. And we are supposed to wait till eternity for change? It's crazy really!

@Tippy Top, please note that I don't care what you think of my views. As you have gathered from my posts, I find you very cowardly. So there, the animosity is mutual dear.  

"Is that true? If so, why?"

*Scratches head*, beats me o! I don't know myself. Maybe it just boils down to tribal superiority in the absence of Christians and animists to intimidate. When I was in Secondary school, my two best friends were Muslims. One from Bornu and the other from Kwara. These two hotties really couldn't stand each other. Me being a middle man got to hear from my Bornu friend that Yoruba Muslims are fake Muslims because they convert the Koran to Yoruba. Lol. What buffonry! I didn't tell my friend from Kwara state. Who wants a mini religious conflict in a boarding house in Niger State. Not I! I just love me my Yoruba people. They never allow religion dictate to their sense of culture. Unfortunately the North has lost its culture to Islam. That is why they never think outside it. Neeways, I doubt that Nigeria will work until we sit down and trash out these issues or simply part ways.

"I suspect he is Auchi. Muslims there has northern sentiments. Understandable"

LOL! Then he is delusional. Hausa Muslims won't even pray in the same mosque with their Yoruba counterparts. I am laughing so hard. Tippy Top honey, no biggie if you feel closer to the North than the much saner south. Ever heard of the word "migration". Lol, what a joke!

I have sindi Indian friends whose grandfathers opted out of Pakistan at the division of old India. If the majority want to go to the South, why should one man who loves his Northern masters hold them back? Jersey boy said and I quote

"Nothing this broken can exist for long no matter the force to hold it together."

It is  easy to talk of diplomacy when your family or friends have not been hacked to death by machete wielding religious miscreants.

@J12, now you actually understand the plight of those that have lost loved ones for the sake of this unholy marriage called "Nigeria". The North is a big problem. The so called moderates in their midst actually provide a cover for the extremists among them to hide. For how long will we keep dragging this malformed baby called the North with us. I have entered into brain racking arguments with non Nigerians who insult us based on the going ons up North. Every bad news comes from there.  If it is not Cholera, deaths to illegal mining, religious riots, it is something else. Please when next you advocate one Nigeria, give us valid reasons for doing so. You think I don't like diversity? I do. Just not when it comes at the price of precious human lives.

It is impossible for which Calabar and Ijaw not to join them? Didn't the last presidential vote pattern say something? Wait na, we dey look una!

@Tippy Top, please kiss the behinds of your Almajiri masters, and stop Nostrademousing. Lol! Which trouble sleep? Are you talking of the rest of the country that has been murdered, and their resources plundered by your Northern masters for 38 years? Come on son, grow some balls. Eishhh, shame! May the spirits of the victims of Maitatsine, Akaluka, Plateau, Kaduna riots, civil war, as well as those of Ken Saro Wiwa and his nine freedom fighters haunt you and your likes forever! AMEN!

250 nations indeed. LOL! The majority down South have more in common that the majority up North. So your point is moot!

@J12, when the time comes for each state or region to determine their future, you'll see the real face of the political "North". You think Abuja is North? Indeed

@Tippy top, I don't think there is a lack of sane Southerners who will fight back. Your useless ass can go and sit somewhere or even cower under the skirts of the women in your family. The silence of the South all these years should not be a basis for your idiotic gloating. You will soon bite your fingers, hare brainded, yellow hearted, lily hearted excuse for a man.

Whether the M.E advocated for a change in government or not is not the point. My point is that the internet is where revolutions begin. Encerrar?

@Tippy top, sugar why don't you call names? For your information, the last revolutions you have seen in the M.E started from the internet. It is a pity that you are just an apologist. Like Ezeuche said, truth hurts. If you don't like it, jump into the nearest lagoon. Note- I am not Ibo. Idiota!

@Ivynwa, honestly, everyone is tired. For how long will we continue to turn the other cheek? It is no longer funny. 38 years of believing in one Nigeria, and this is what we get. Intimidation? No way. You must speak to the violent man in the language he understands. Preaching Jesus and peace to people who cal you "kaffir" is just foolhardy.

@J12, we will have a sovereign national conference for every tribe and region to decide whether they want to go separate ways and in any event this happens, which country they will like to belong to. Note that Abuja is the homeland of the Gwaris, and they are well aware of the Hausa Fulani threat to take over their land. They can see from their brothers in Niger, Plateau and Nassarawa that the Hausa Fulani is not your friend once he and his brothers grow in numbers.

J12:
I concur with tippy-tops line of reasoning. Breaking up the country would cause more confusion and havoc. Rather we should advocate for a change in our governmental system.

Aww dear, would you rather we keep having innocent non Muslims being slaughtered like cattle. Lol. Some you really make me wonder. SPLIT THE DAMN COUNTRY. NOTE: I grew up in the North, have Muslim friends, have a Muslim god father who I take as my own father e.t.c. BUT, the reality is my godfather is in the minority of good Hausa Fulani Muslims. I am not anti North but I am incensed by the nonchalance of Northern leaders to the carnage they have allowed in their midst. I love the idea of Nigeria being a diverse nation, but the superiority complex of most Northerners is the biggest put off. Why are Middle belt Muslims or Yoruba Muslims not as volatile as the ones up North. ANSWER- A culture of humanity.

Abeg, I am tired of you people who have never known what it is to lose loved ones to "animals" in human skins coming here to advocate one Nigeria. My advice to you is this, offer one of your brothers or sisters to the Almajiris and then come back and preach the gospel of unity to the rest of us. Mscheewww. ABEG SPLIT THE DAMN COUNTRY JARE. As for those saying Southern Nigeria will have issues. I know this, there might be squabbles in the South when it becomes one country, but NEVER will we kill one and other for trivial issues like religion. From the Middle belt down South, we have humans. Remember the good Muslim who helped protect Christians during the last riot as reported in the news. Well guess what, he is not Hausa Fulani.

I don't care if you disagree with me, but the rest of the country is tired of calling a spade a hoe. Shikena!

jerseyboy:
@virgo,  Be careful in Abuja. That city is the next Sarajevo.

Thanks for your advice. Lol. We won't wait till that happens. The power of intelligence keeps you one step ahead of idiots!

It's amazing when I read posts from apologists on NL who see nothing wrong in the blood lust of the North. I just feel sorry for everyone of you making flimsy excuses why we should stay as one Nigeria. Northern Muslims are only interested in the oil and resources abound everywhere in the nation, but in their deserts. If they had half the resources of the rest of the country or the Atlantic ocean was in the North, your sorry asses would have been kicked out of the country a long time ago. Most of you don't know what is going on and why America is moving in marines into the country in considerable numbers.

Northern leaders with their not so smart ideologies invited Al Qaeda into the country, now America is not sitting down and letting a terrorist organization mess up with its fourth largest producer of oil and are doing what they can to protect their interest. The South on its own has become very SMART. Their eyes have been open to the Northern propaganda and now are going to unite to stop the menace called the North. The South will rather align itself with nations that have appreciate humanity despite their own flaws than with religious bigots and fanatics. Currently the North has seen that their plans have back fired and have since deployed their facebook and twitter soldiers to help diffuse tension. They have realized that it is no longer business as usual. Apparently, the fear of the loss of oil is the beginning of wisdom. Sorry pals, change is here. A knight for a knight, a queen for a queen, a bishop for a bishop, a rook for a rook, a pawn for a pawn, checkmate!

@Contracult, still not being able to send my petition. I can't find the slider,

It is amazing how people post arguments that border on the senile. If you have any shred of humanity in you, after looking at the pictures of those innocent Nigerians hacked down in their prime, you will understand the clamour for the modification/scrapping of the NYSC scheme. SCRAP THE DAMN THING. HUMAN LIVES ARE TOO PRECIOUS TO WASTE.

Only pathetic excuses for men hit women. I wonder why anyone would justify the actions of an animal. If you aspire to be a kick boxer or street fighter, simply pick an opponent your size. As for the poster, I think it is up to her to decide if her life is worth living or not. What exactly can an abusive man give you except black eyes and bruises. What kind of sacrifice will make you wait for your own death? You should leave while you can. He will never change. It takes a punch in the wrong place to earn you a spot in the obituary section of newspapers.  

Very funny conspiracy theories. I am waiting for more. GEJ needed scapegoats for sympathy votes? Nice!!!   

You can never miss "intelligence" when you see it!

Did I hear some of you say "revolution?".

At this point, we should understand the country we speak of. The idea is interesting because we have an unprecedented freedom as never before. But please with all due respect to my beloved country men, we are too freaking cowardly to have a revolution. Some people refused to come out to vote on Saturday from fear of being sent to early graves and you all think we can have a revolution. LOL!

Please let's all admit it, GEJ with all his faults has allowed us to grow wings. So as we fly, we should have the ability to look at what is truly on ground. Most of the warriors on NL will run away in the face of any drunk gun totting trigger happy policeman. It must be real fun to call for a revolution from the safety of their bedrooms. What a bunch of geniuses!

Princek12:
It is funny that I was thinking about the same thing when I saw this thread. If Buhari were president, I am sure his win at all cost mentality will motivate him to rig elections in his favor.

GEJ needs to be applauded. This is unprecedented in Nigeria's history, where Nigerians are clamoring to news outlets to watch the results of a free and fair election and shouting that they are making change through the ballot.

If you vote for Alhahi Buhari, he will revert Nigeria back to dictatorial, old-school, military-regime politics. Our voting should be guided by the maxim, "forward ever, backward never."

You are right about GEJ being applauded. In as much as we are in one of the most violent phase in the history of our country all because a group of people believe in their divine right to rule, I think GEJ has delivered on his promise of a free and fair election so far. As for those who say it is silly to applaud him because he is not the INEC chairman, I say amnesia has always been the biggest problem of Nigerians. Did IBB allow your votes count? Was the election of 2007 as free as the one witnessed on Saturday? Granted, there were allegations of ballot paper snatching, violence against electoral officers and the deaths of promising NYSC members (a sad situation), but over all we saw a better election than what we have seen in the past. If GEJ is clueless enough to stand back and let Jega do his job, then he is a very democratic leader. I'd rather have him than the "visionaries" with totalitarian style leadership.

With PDP losing seats in the senate and house of reps, we are going to see an active legislature that can challenge the executive to live up to its role. Yes, the man GEJ should be applauded. Not because we have reached the promise land yet, but because he has given us the power to choose our leaders, even to his/PDP's detriment.
