Ethnic minorities endorse Jonathan’s re-election raquo; The Guardian Nigeria

ngrguardiannews.comA GROUP of ethnic minorities, mostly from the North, has endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection bid, saying that his ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presents the mix of minority-majority presidential ticket that contemporary Nigeria should support. The components are operating under the auspices of Nigerian Ethnic Minority Rights Movement for the Actualisation of Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidential Ambition in 2015 (NEMRIMAG), with headquarters in Jos, Plateau State. blogspot.com The movement took exception to lumping all Northern Nigeria together and tending to ignore the precise interest of the small groups among the larger ones, noting: "The time has come for northern minorities to develop an understanding of their political power. It contended that Nigeria could remain a strong and united nation if all ethnic groups enjoy fairness, as "ethnic and religious conflicts in Nigeria, especially in the North, are indicative of the quest by minorities for independence, empowerment, identity construction, and the fear of the majority of losing economic and political power, and cultural dominance." There is no ethnic group in Nigeria that is a minority but to the best of my knowledge in my over 60 years of age ,hence I don&#8217;t know where this theory of dichotomy among ethnic groups comes from .The fact is that Jonathan introduce such self centeredness principle just to win sympathy from low minded persons to kill the coexistence nature of the country that has been there even before most of them were born  People of doubtful origin claiming Nigeria should stop this form of foolishness and let the country move forward and have the expected progress.I am a Yoruba man and I love all my Nigerian men and women hence Edo ,Ijaw ,Nupe and Tiv we are one in Brotherhood. Distorted message. Would anyone honestly say there are no ethnic minorities in Nigeria??. Why then are there major ethnic and linguistic groups? In a bid to disparage Mr President, some people will go to any length to stand logic on it&#8217;s head. It is APC tactics to turn truth upside down for the sake of their desperation for power. The more the lie the more I hate them. If they seize power, they will be telling Nigerians complete lies. No single truth from their mouth. The shame is that they claim to be educated, most of their supporters are educated illiterates, which is deliberate deception. ..Expect more Non-Phantom groups like this to create a fake-momentum so they can attempt to rig the election. The number against Jonathan in Northern Nigeria is 35,000 &#8211; that is the number of dead people every tribe, religion, class, minorities or majorities that have been needlessly slaughtered under Jonathan&#8217;s watch&#8230;.as recent as December he cancelled training of Nigerian soldiers to counter Boko Haram&#8230;so he clearly failed all Nigerians but he failed Northern Nigerians &#8211; across the board &#8211; in a sadistic, psychopathic ways&#8230;&#8230;I did not think it was possible again to re-unite Northern Nigeria post Balewa given what have been going on&#8230;Jonathan have managed to achieve Visit this blog Yohaig.ng monumental task of uniting Northern Nigerians again through the operations of the Boko Haram militia that was needlessly launched to genocide the North. So expect 95% vote for Buhari from the North. The 5% is to allow for margin of error. &#8230;And he has lost all Nigerians by being a mafia don only interested in converting our resources to his own while leaving everyone, including his home town people stranded and exposed to slow death through destitution. _________ Now he is running around from pillar to post, looking inside-shoe, inside-cooking pot (like Fela would say), in palaces, in holy places, everywhere for something that he has lost already and he know sit &#8211; and it is human nature to run around when you loose something you never valued. Kind of like, when you loose someone who loves you and you could not love them back or worse return it with hateful actions and abuse until s/he moves on or God recalls her/him. Jonathan killed the love Nigerians had for him and God is leading Nigerians away from Jonathan&#8217;s abuses and hateful actions &#8211; this could be because of 35,000 Nigerians killed in the North+ other victims of insecurities in the land, or too much pretensions of being christ-like while breaking God&#8217;s laws (something that is now trivialized as corruption) or causing so much pain, destitution, destruction in the land or simply because God has answered the prayer of one sincere person (that is all it takes, one person &#8211; God always answer the prayers of the oppressed wether they worship him or not &#8211; be they muslim, christian or non believers. God created them and whenever they cry to him against oppression he answers). So in the final analysis, if Jonathan likes, let him sit in Aso Rock or even pretend he has won the next election &#8211; God has decided to enthrone for Nigerians new leadership who love them back ! &#8230;everything else is details&#8230;.and that is why the whole world is rejecting Jonathan and his co-traducers because he who is rejected above the heavens would have no acceptance on earth. Olutayo, you do not know the experiences of some of us, the minor tribes (though we are more in overall numbers) in Nigeria. Yorubas, Igbos Hausas, and Muslims maltreat us administratively. Fulanis have been killing us without cause in Benue, Plateau and Southern Kaduna with no respite from the Fed govt. Indigeneship observance protectrs our rights but the NASS want to remove it from the Constitution. They want to create Grazing Reserves by forcefully taking over our farms and giving them to Fulanis. The Emirate system in the North is lording Islamic authority over many Christian communities. Tribes defeated in the Dan Fodio jihads of the early 18th Century are still being treated as slaves. you may wish to contact me on [mailto:mbnations@yahoo.com mbnations@yahoo.com] for more info. Thanks. Sec. ASOMBEN. Before you indicated interest to rerun for the election Nigerian unanimously endorsed you as their favorite candidate that is why only one nomination form was printed just for you.Sir the entire ethnic groups in Nigeria says welcome as the president of Nigeria again.And we commend you for all the beautiful works you have done for our dear nation .#GEJ4Naija GEJ has touched the life of every Nigerian, majority or minority that is why he gets all their endorsements, GEJ has so far displayed his love for every region, tribe and ethnic nationality in Nigeria #gej4naija The PDP led-government has shown how much they want to carry Nigerians along, irrespective of ethnic differences. The President having come from a minor group gives Nigerians an equal take of the polity.#GEJ4Naija I can feel the minorities in the North seeing this election as being between those killing them and the one protecting them. As Nigerians celebrate the defeat of Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen raised their operations in the Middle belt killing and burning down houses of minority natives. This endorsement has long been in their minds and I bet Buhari will seriously lose among the ethnic minorities
