Exodus Of Igbos: Implication For GEJ by san316(m): 3:27pm On Mar 24, 2015
I have observed recently that a lot of people, especially igbos have been leaving their states of residence to probably the east. this is majorly due to the uncertainties accompanying the forthcoming elections. many igbos in my neighborhood and even around my work place, there is mass movement of people out of Abuja.

The question is: Since igbos form the bulk of gej's supporters how will they be able to vote when they have left where they registered for elections? There are many hausas I know who are traveling but their journey is for the purpose of voting.

So all the igbos screaming GEJ till. .. how can you vote gej when you are far from your polling unit?.

To me, I think INEC should make the PVC universal in such a way that wherever you are. you can vote for your candidate.

Just remember this talk when you bring out your figures- number of actual voters on the 29th. A lot of people are leaving the north in huge numbers so the numbers to vote there has been greatly decimated. It doesn't matter who those who left would have voted for, it matters most that the actual figures of voters be counted correctly.

And as per the making the PVC universal, I have thought towards that line previously. It will make enough sense

How many Northerners in the East compared to Easterners in the North?

Northerners are natural travellers. when they leave the east, it is because they are going to vote. but the igbos don't travel that much. only business takes them out of their States .

Though I would have preferred them to remain and vote Jonathan but Igbos travelling out of the north is a loss for Buhari because their votes have already been mistakenly counted as Buhari's by those doing election permutation and analysis.

For example, if out of the 4 million votes in Kano, 1 million belongs to Igbos and other southerners many of whom have travelled or won't come out to vote on that day due to fear, it means that the 4 million Kano votes allocated to Buhari by analysts has already been reduced by 1 million and that is where his loss begins...

So the northerners in the east are there for tourism and not business?

No statistics to confirm that, but there are many northerners in the east.
The slight difference is that the northerners did their registration in the north while Igbos do theirs wherever they find themselves.

One thing I love about the card readers is that there will low voter turn out in the north cos the igbos won't be intimidated out while northerners will use their slots to fill in votes for buhari. Moreover, so many igbos are staying back unlike before, the entrance of soldiers have given them confidence

I have families in maidugri so stop all this ur rubbish talk. Infact, it is only my dad and mum that is based in the east, all other of our families are in the north and they are not coming back. They are also telling us that they are going to vote on election day
