Tribal Right to Presidency

ok seriously, what do people think here about those that espouse tribal rights to presidency as in "igbo deserve this, yoruba deserve that, niger-delta deserve this" Should the presidency be adjudged along tribal lines or by who's the best candidate for the job regardless of whether they come from under a rock? what are some of the thoughts on this?

dunno if this democracy quote applies. but I like am:

Elections belong to the people. It is their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.

I'm not a Nigerian but I've heard about the people from "south south" saying the next president should come from their area. I've been watching some programmes on BENTV and their comments should worry Nigerians a lot. I heard one of their members saying they'll form their own republic if they're not given the presidency. I think the best candidate should be given the job. Tribe should have nothing to do with who wins the election.
