Dnt say dat... dis has nothing 2 do wit being a Southerner or Northerner. All we need is one who can lead Nigeria wit a Godly heart & d fear of God, be he Northerner or Southerner bcos, judging frm GEj angle who is a southerner shows dat whr one comes frm is nt what matters bt d individuals involved.
It is embarrassing that some Nigerians, especially the Southerners have not opened their eyes that the secrecy in the Presidency should be known by Southerners as much as the Northerners have known it. Since 1960 the North had ruled Nigeria 36 years, and all the establishments crumbled, for example:
NITEL (NIGERIA TELECOMMUNICATIONS LTD) Nigerians have no house telephones like in Ghana, Sierria Leone, South Africa, and the rest of the world.
NIGERIA POST OFFICE: The Postal systems and delivery of letters crumbled totally. Mails are no more distributed house-to-house in Nigeria.
NEPA crumbled. Nigerians have never seen steady electricity as exists in other African countries and the rest of the world.
This created the worst unemployment syndrome in the world. Nigeria where graduates roam about the streets, while fools, uneducateds and Mugu Mallams control the Oil Wells.
NIGERIA RAILWAY CORPORATION crumbled. Nigeria could not afford the Modern means of transport that is safe, haulaging (can carry over 500 to 1,000 passengers at a go, and jobs could be available in the Train transport, from Engineering, to Communication and Business Administrators and Economists to propel the industry. ETC. ETC. ETC.
It is only the Southerner/s Obasanjo for instance who tries to resuscitate these corporations but very difficult because the Mallams and Alhajis had eaten the bone-marrow in the fabrics of these corporations that to bring them to life remains a myraid.
Without a Southern President like Obasanjo, who forcefully privatized the NITEL, Nigerians wouldn't have telephone handsets, Glo, Vodafone, etc. today. NORTHERNERS WILL NEVER.
Tested Northern Leaders:
1. Tafa Balewa
2. Yakubu Gowon
3. Murtala Mohammed
4. Shehu Shagari
5. Ibrahim Babangida (IBB)
6. Buhari
7. Abdulsallam Abubakar
8. Shehu Yar'adua
9. Sani Abacha, etc. etc.
What SIGNIFICANT THING can we remember that these people brought to Nigeria?
IBB and June 12, 1993?? Killing of Ken Saro-Wiwa, etc. Buhari killings of innocent Nigerians, etc. Now Boko Haramists are even in Naijapals, etc.
Southern Nigerians wake up. Use your Vote wisely. In the South, we have gotten TESTED LEADERS WHO PERFORMED, at least in Lagos State: Governor Fashola, ex-Governor Tinubu, Ngozi-Okonjo-Iweala, Professor Dora Akunyili, while the good Northerner Nuhu Ribadu can wait to fill the post LATER because he is still young to wait, but NOW, A SOUTHERNER and NEVER NORTH if you want good governance in Nigeria.
TRUTH IS BITTER!!!
