God bless northern Nigeria!

Please, stop posting the pictures of Arab & Sub-Saharan hybrids here to represent the North. This is not you or the typical race of Northern Nigeria but in extreme minority. Almost 99% of core Northern population are jet black in complexion & belong to the Sudanese Nilo group of Africa.This is sick, as religion have destroy the minds of you typical Northerners so also the physical appearance of a lighter skin Fulanis have become the symbol of Northern beauty. Very sad indeed.

stop deceiving yourself with those Nigeriens and Chadians you see in the South...

Northern Nigeria is a giant of development!

If not for the south west and east let me see if you people would have have mouth to speak, giant indeed, when 95% are been impoverished.

North doesn't have problem with Tinubu as people have been speculating


North are only scared a southerner president might push for restructuring because they know the implications, their allies in Southern Nigeria coming up with Amotekun made them to be more feeling insecure because Yoruba sudden change in Amotekun establishment really made them feel imbalance politically, that's why you see some supporting south president and some against it. Tinubu understand northerners feelings hence is neutrality on Amotekun


As far as 2023 is concern, north is totally confused

"Totally confused"? Absolutely wrong.

What you failed to realise is that restructuring is only possible through the National Assembly where the North retains the clear majority.

Think again.

vote who you think is best for your interests....

i dont care if a igbo gets elected as president if i like the person....

Neither do I! I can't speak for Igbo people since I am not one. I believe what Igbo people want is devolution of power.

if North central support it, how is North the majority

I blame the naive south that allow grabbing of their respective areas to North


as far as I'm concern if a southern president want restructuring, he knows how to lobby the North central

unfortunately for Ibo people they cant even get vice presidency again because no sensible northerners would waste his or her money on joint ticket with national election failure specialist

National failure specialists?

Coming from someone whose region even when among the big three only came close to the seat of power in February 1976, 16 years after the union jack was lowered by the British following power lacuna caused by murtala's death. It will still take another 26 years in 1999 when the rest of the country decided to humour the emotions of June 12 before they came close again.

Meanwhile the so called losers, has produced both a civilian and military head of state, fought a civil war for three years and still come back to produce a vice president 9 years after the war. Their political machinery and clout would have given them the presidency in 1999 until the Jos convention happened and presidency was granted to the loud mouthed westerners on compassionate ground.

Even with their son as two time democratic president they stayed on the fringes until Goodluck chicken out after obvious robbery in 2015.
Yet they are all over cyberspace boasting about their political sagacity. You guys are the real chest beaters.

Ndiigbo produced a civilian President,Head of state, civilian Vice president,Senate President and many others before our noisy neighbours from the west. So what the hell are you chest beating about.

Niger? Nassarawa? Kogi? Ilorin Emirate?

Anyways good luck

I get am before no be property, in fact it should be a thing of shame if all you could still brag about over 50 years later is a figure head presidency under a parliamentary system with a prime minister in person of balewa, or head of state after treacherously betraying and killing other regions leaders (your political doom) Ekwueme that got a compensatory Vice Presidency was simply because Obasanjo needed to draw Ibos back to his pocket after what he did to them during civil war, you still brag of a failure of a war that saw your General flee like a coward to ivory coast and 3 million people starve to death, if that isn't foolishness then what is?

Now before you brag about 50 years ago, lets talk about this days.. Obasanjo a military 2 in command, Idiagbon 2 in command , Dapo Diya military second in command, Obasanjo military Head of State , Obasanjo Democratically elected President for 8 years , Shonekan Interim President , Osinbajo Acting President, Osinbajo vice President , Saraki Senate President , Gbajabiamila speaker of house, Dimeji Bankole speaker ... if you sincerely can beat all this then lets talk if not your are better argueing or braging to the minority

It is exclusive right of every eligible Nigerian to be president. Since 1999 all the 3 ethnic groups always have a candidate.

Do you even realise that the North West has a greater IGR than the SE? How do you think we are financing all these megaprojects and where do you think the billions budgeted to eliminate street begging is coming from?

And since over 95% of our crude oil is in the SS...what is the basis of your ridiculous statement?

For your information, the bulk of those Kano Projects, including the Longest Flyover in West Africa are state financed projects so don't fool yourself.

The North is stupid for saying everyone should have the right to run for office? I really am not familiar with this brand of stupidity you're alluding to.

For your info, a huge bulk of the North, including myself, actually want power to move south because doing otherwise would be at the risk of our national unity.

Stop being so marklessly presumptuous.

If you quote me again eeh thunder wey go fire you.

First of all, there's nothing like "South resources". Nigerian resources are what are being spent to secure the country.

Not that I support the terrorist rehabilitation nonsense.

Secondly, if power in the North couldn't stop cultism, ritual killings, human skull mining, suicidal drug trafficking and other insanities in the South then I doubt if anything (except good quality leadership from any region) can stop violent crime nationwide.

* Says El-Rufai Speaking For Himself

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) on Wednesday said it was not the exclusive right of the South to produce the president in 2023.

Speaking exclusively with Daily Independent, Anthony Sani, a northern leader and the outgoing Secretary-General of the ACF, said there was no national consensus on zoning that was binding on political parties in the country.

According to him, since Nigeria was practising a multiparty democracy, each political party was free to zone its presidential ticket to any part of the country.

“In a multiparty democracy, it is political parties that field candidates for elective positions because there is no provision for independent candidates.

“And if any political party, in its winning game plans, fields a candidate from the South and majority of Nigerians vote for him, so be it! That would be democracy in action.

“I say so because the president coming from the South is not a matter of right, considering there is no national consensus on politics of identity symbolised by zoning that is binding on the political parties.

“As long as there is no national consensus on politics of identity symbolised by zoning that is binding on political parties, it is not possible to shut out any region or zone or state from the contest for the post of the president.

“Recall when President Obasanjo wanted to force politics of zoning on the nation by bringing the late President Umaru Yar’Adua from the North after the South, he had to use political blackmail to shut out people like former Rivers State governor, Peter Odili, from the South.

“And when President Yar’Adua died, one did not expect former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest with Muhammadu Buhari in 2011 and 2015, in the spirit of zoning. But he did.”

Also reacting to the statement made by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State that the presidency should rightly return to the Southern part of the country, Sani said the statement was El-Rufai’s personal opinion and not the general belief of the North.

The ACF scribe said, in the last presidential election, even when it was agreed that the North should produce presidential candidates, a large percentage of presidential candidates that participated in the 2019 elections were from the Southern part of the country.

“In 2019, it was thought that the spirit of zoning would leave the field for presidential candidates from the North, but there were over 70 candidates, most of them from the South.

“This is testament to the fact that there is no national consensus on zoning that is binding on political parties with exclusive preserve to field candidates for elective posts in our multiparty democracy. That is why what Governor El-Rufai has said is not more than his personal opinion,” he said.

I would have said that Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) are bunch of very smart people if they had called for the abolishment of quota system and silly federal character charade in Nigeria. Until they publicly denounced quota system in Nigeria, they are bunch of ninnies.
