Hello All:

Yes, the people spoke and Nigerian democracy is the winner. APC's absolute mastery of the North is a playbook to be studied on ethno-politics. But one must hand it to Tinubu, the King Maker, who dribbled his Southwest as the  strategic decider.

I am curious to also know Buhari will vote on African issues at the UN. On Boko Haram, now he has the chance to prove an alternative wipe out.

Ms Evelyn Joe! and Hi everybody in USA now especially our Washington DC Metro area.I am in Nigeria now and blogging from my bedroom and it is 10:46pm here on Election Day.As a democrat I believe Nigerians may have spoken if the trend holds.I am however not sure Nigeria will be better off without President Jonathan finishing up.He may not be the smartest and best president for Nigeria but as one who was an adult and contested National election as Alliance for Democracy(AD)National Secretary Candidate as it was called then on National Secretaryship slot,President Jonathan brought Humility and One-of-us-aura to the Presidency.With him it becomes like in America where any child no matter the Parentage-Social-status could be an Obama.How about that for a Nation of 'Big-Men'in everything African-wise.We will miss Jonathan if the trend holds as results are announced and I/Nigeria will miss a Humble Man ever to hold such office in Nigeria of our time.

I pray we will keep getting better and this is another major sign and we hope that Uncle Bola Tinubu whose wife is a Senator after him will not over-throw Buhari for our First-Lady President.Sounds Good Too!Tinubu is a great guy and Strategical in political permutations.I had quite a good insight when I ran for Alliance for Democracy(AD then)now ACN.
Say hello to all our Yahoo and blogging heads.

Ms Joe,

As someone from South-West, I can assure you that Jonathan's poor performance was more of the factor than Tinubu, in South-West's votes for Buhari. This election was different from 2011 in that Jonathan had a record with which South-Westerners could judge him. Being a minority Southerner was the sentiment that earned him S/W votes in 2011. And you should not forget that Buhari's running mate is from South-West. Many factors therefore "dribbled" South-West votes to Buhari including efforts of APC leadership from South-West which includes Tinubu. It is an exaggeration to say Tinubu or Tinubu factor "dribbled" South-West votes to Buhari.

Hello Dokita:

What does it matter if the best team lost? Brother, is is not a game of sentiments or love affair based on fine attributes. What about humility? It is not mutually exclusive when paired  with strategic agility or governing - when a stand must be taken based on principles. 

Buhari won and he is due credits. Now, let us see whether the North will be as loyal to a Yoruba candidate when his time is up.  That would be a better gauge of the "merger." For now, it is over. 

Enjoy your stay in Naija.  

MsJoe

No one will miss Jonathan. Clueless is not strong enough an adjective to qualify it . I have watched him at close quarters for years. It is not possible to see anyone who has ever worked with that can hold him in high esteem, at least in private.

He is a washout as far as leadership is concerned.

Ms Joe,
I don't expect North to be "as loyal to a Yoruba candidate" if the Yoruba candidate is of Jonathan's caliber. Buhari has what Nigeria needs at this time (incorruptibility, discipline etc) hence the support he got from SW.

It is interesting that someone of Inno Chimah's exposure ignores Jonathan's six years' performance and wanted him re-elected on sentiment.

Evelyn, The North is a natural ally of Yoruba. They get along very well. Both are communities steep in traditional values that tend not to accept others easily-Aloof.
