A Typical Foolish Unproductive Fight Nigerians Indulge Themselves Into

By Mr. A, in Vanguard Newspaper

I am seriously appalled by the claim that power belongs to the North and they will always determine who they permit to rule. This is my father's land too! Why should a section of the country arrogate power to themselves at the expense of the other groups? That is recipe for disintegration. In 50 years of Nigeria independence the North ruled for 38 years! The South should demand their own 38 years to be fair. Out of the 38 years that should be given to the South OBJ wasted 10 years and Jonathan is on his second year. This means the South should hang on to power for the next 26 years! Yes, that is the way it should be to be fair. If I were Jonathan, I would contest again in 2015! Southern politicians are so self-serving and lack vision and principle- they cannot reason beyond their noses. Enough of this nonsense! If the North continues to reason and act like this may be we should divide the country so the South can rule their own place. PDP may have put zoning in their party constitution but any constitution that undermines anyone's right as specified in the Federal Constitution of Nigeria is a fraud, indefensible and therefore null and void. By the way, what does the North contributes to Nigeria? Corruption, Niger-Delta, Boko Haram, terrorism, insecurity of life and properties everywhere? See what is happening in Jos and Maiduguri for God's sake! In the 38 years they ruled with absolute power what was the benefit even to the north let alone to the whole of Nigeria? For 38 years of their rule they neglected Niger Delta, kill their prominent sons and daughters! For 38 years they even neglected their own people giving them no education, public amenities and economic power. They empowered a few and left their populace in abject poverty and misery! Sensible northerners should not listen to them. In fact only a southern president can repair the damage these crooks have unleashed on the north! Look at the so-called ACF! How is the Middle-Belt represented in this communique? Just think of the map drawn by the late Orkar and you will understand better! The ranting is from a section of the north and not from the whole North as they are claiming! Sensible northerners better queue behind Jonathan because Nigeria is moving forward and not backward. Jonathan's presidency is good for us for at least one thing- breaking the strangle hold of the anti-progressive oligarchy of the north! Jonathan's winning this election serves a purpose larger than Jonathan himself. Let's dare them! Jonathan needs to win without them in order to free this country from these never-do-well bigots. Let them not support him-- they are merely shooting themselves in the foot. Nigeria belongs to ALL of us and we collectively determine our destiny
