Northern Nigerians can eat their cake and have it if they are prepared to lose to President Goodluck Jonathan and support him to contest the 2011 Presidential Elections.  Continued stability and the exploitation and exportation of crude oil to sustain the country is coming from the Niger Delta.  Jonathan is their own.  If he is supported to become President of Nigeria, even  for one term, it would reassure the Niger Deltans who have been robbed and raped by the leadership of this country who have exploited the oil resources without  compensation.  This is a chance to let this people control their resources for a while.  There is so much clamour from the North about this.  I would recommend to the North to be prepared to lose to the Niger Deltans so that they may be able to win back power in this country.  I say this because I have the feeling that if we win against this beautiful Niger Delta opportunity, we would lose this country and all the goodies we have taken from that part of Nigeria.
