I am clamouring for the North to retain Presidency beyond 2023 because of these four major reasons.

1) Actions has Consequences: In 2015, a section of southerners betrayed their region by teaming up with the North to snatch power from one of theirs based on performance but couldn't deny the successor, who failed woefully, a second term because they are hoping to reap from where they sowed thereafter, forgetting that you can't sow Orange and reap Apple.

The Edo no be Lagos scenario comes to mind. You can't team up with outsiders to ransack your home while expecting them to treat you nicely afterwards.

2) Unity: If power remains in the North in 2023, it will unite the South (SW,SE and SS) and caution either of the geo-political zone about betrayal which I earlier stated. Presently, the SW will never support an Igbo man for presidency, citing insults and emotional blackmail which they themselves dish out to others including the North.

3) Greed: If power must return to the South by zoning then it should go to South-East which has never been there before. The SW has had their turn under OBJ, SS (My region) has tasted it through GEJ though not fully.

If our SW brothers wants to argue that power is taken and not given, I wish them well in their endeavors to go and snatch it from the North and stop blackmailing Northerners to return it South where they will use religious affiliation it has with the North to sideline others and grab it.

4) Tenure: If you follow the timeline of the presidency since the return to democracy in 1999, you will discover that the North is being cheated. The South (OBJ - 8 & GEJ - 6) has been there for 14years, whereas the North has done 10 (Yaradu'a - 2 & Buhari - 8 by 2023). If we are talking about equity and justice then the North should continue in 2023.

Reasoned discuss is welcome but I won't fail to treat unreasonable ones the way f**ls are being treated.

I don't expect likes for this post because truth is always better and my South West brothers dislike such.

Proudly a South-Southerner.

Edited: Our SW brothers should simply say power should return to SW (because that was their agreement with the North in 2015) and not that power should come back South which includes them, SE and SS because when they made the agreement SE and SS were not there.

3) Greed: If power must return to the South by zoning then it should go to South-East which has never been there before. The SW has had their turn under OBJ, SS (My region) has tasted it through GEJ though not fully

Your opinion actually

That some people don't have balls or play their game right to contest the presidency doesn't mean you should discourage those who are interested.

2011 election has kuku been wiped out from some people's memory and calendar.

One man's food is another man's poison.

A moving train is unstoppable

flokii:
@OP I'm 100% sure you're Igbo..


FYI, nothing will unite South (SW,SS, SE) as you erroneously claimed in your writeup. It's getting clearer that we share nothing in common in terms of intelligence and tactical thinking.

You and your household can keep being slaves to the North but we in SW will take a shot at the presidency and win. You can bank on that.

Another day another IPOB lament
No we will not gift Eboes the President
The SW and SS have enough confidence to compete and in
2023 we will have a president from the SS or SW

Every day create a new thread to vent your impotent frustration

Let me explain it to you like this

Whatever happens inside your head stays there . It IS NOT REALITY

YOU DO NOT have the power to determine what will happen just to recycle the frustration with new impotent threads that have no impact on reality

sharpden:


In 2011, you had no national appeal just like the way Buhari, who didn't have same until in 2015, kept on winning the North without being declared winner of the nationwide exercise.

So throw that angle away, your votes then couldn't stop the moving train, if it did, Atiku who was ACN candidate in 2007 should have won the race na.

So you call betraying your zone strategy?

sharpden:


I am frustrated

helinues:


I am actually struggling to get your point.

When Yaradua was Incapacitated, which region led the restoration of GEJ from VP to President?

This same GEJ was supported by SW for his first term election.. Where was the word betraying then.

After GEJ winning, all the promises he made to SW, he refused to keep them which made SW political leaders and Obas to pay GEJ a visit to discussed their concerns. Were they not locked out by GEJ goons?

After the locking out, there is a particular tread still active on NL which SW was mocked.

How then do you now expect the region to support someone who made false promises to them in his reelection?

More over this is politics which is about interest. And the same interest gave birth to all the projects been done by this administration in SW.

Btw, this same GEJ that some people are still bitter about has moved on after the election lose. GEJ, Madam Peace and majority of Bayelsa people supported Lyon of same Apc who ousted him from power.

Nobody is interested in politics of bitterness, that some people are still wallowing in 2015 election lose shouldn't be our headache

sharpden:


You are free to think about my region, that's your right which is not correct.

If nothing will unite South then you guys should stop calling for power to return to South, say power should return to SW and you people should stop begging for unity by spearheading the coming together of Southern Governors.

Oga the North will retain power in 2023, the highest you can do is Japa.

aribisala0:
You are voicing your impotent hatred

Key word = IMPOTENT

It has no effect on reality

Take this to the bank

come 2023 we will have a president from either the SS or the SW and you will be spectators

sharpden:


Oga the SE led it through Dora Akunyili who blew the alarm, don't think we have short memory.

What you played in 2015 is not politics of bitterness it's ours that will be described so abi? I hope you guys are not forgetting the Edo no be Lagos scenario?

GEJ has done what? Are you in his mind to know he has forgotten about the betrayal? Well you are free to vent your frustrations but mark it down, SW won't get to that seat in 2023.

flokii:


You're doing yourself, not me actually..
I have no problem with the North safe for the religious extremism and insecurities plaguing them there. Infact Buhari turned out to be far better to SW than a Southerner GEJ who with support of Igbos, marginalized Yorubas and even retired majority our people from federal service.

The North will never support an Easterner to win primaries not to talk of being presidential candidate so the earlier you realize that you're on your own, the better for you.
Next time you will connect your tongue with you brains before making negative and insultive statements about other tribes in Nigeria and Nigeria itself. "Zoo" presidency now dey hungry you.. ehnn look for animals to vote your candidate as president of zoogeria.

sharpden:




Ofcourse truth is bitter and I don't expect you to accept it.

You think Karma isn't visiting? Go and collect the power from the North na and stop shouting power should come to the South, simply say power should return to South West and stop speaking as if SW, SE and SS are united in this.

cktheluckyman:

Who exactly is the nobody who is not interested in your so-called politics of bitterness? You yorubas assume everyother person to fools

Oh it's now SS and SW, the same SS you betrayed in 2015?

helinues:


What is this thread all about if not @ emboldened. Express it as how you like na for free.

Same GEJ that has been seen with Buhari and OBJ severally.

Before Akunyili raised an alarm, how did she get to know? And after her raising the alarm what role exactly did she play in making GEJ the presidency.. Our memory still sharp oga Ade

You don't need long epistle to pass your bittered opinion.

You can summarize it like since we igbos can't have presidency because we have been relegated to 4th class citizens, yorubas too should not get it

If wishes were horses everybody will ride
