MayorofLagos:


[s]Yorubas are not stewpid! Even those that voted Jonathan today know that Lagos is APC command center. Having a PDP Governor creates counter purpose and the risk might force the party to relocate to a more friendly state for its command seat.

You the foreigners may not have the brilliance but Yorubas are already calculating that and assessing the risks and I promise you that Jonathan backers will vote Ambode so as to align Lagos with center and concentrate its already accelerated status to a higher scale and political jockeying.

Example, lobbyists wanting contracts or looking for policies in favor of their cause might not go straight to Abuja to see government but instead come to Lagos to get audience with Asiwaju. Adding to that, the VPs home town is just few kilometers away. The entire axis of Lagos - Ogun is about to see surge in business visits and political summits.

Voting Agbaje will upturn that. Remember to consult a Yoruba person to give you risks and assessments before you vote. You dummy!

Vote Ambode![/s]

Why would i hate igbo nau?
Everytime i see word Igbo, I see Chinyere....and I love that word like I love Chinyere.

I think we need to be very careful abt d result we post. Why is it only north,west and middle were posting d poll results since? Av neva seen any reasonable result from d SS and SE I fink dey av a very bad agenda. I fink we shldnt dance to dia tune. Dat aw APC does in 2011 by pasting all d poll results from d opposition states. PDP can easily guess d margin and do d manipulation.
Seriously I dnt see y APC won't win dis election even in 2011 GMB managed 2million+ votes talk-less of now dat 75% of d masses were behind him. #GodblessNigeria

The way jonathan divided this country now is sickening! Buhari has got a lot of work to do!

For the first time in my life, I felt very ashamed to be a Nigerian! Could you imagine that, in my polling booth, All Yorubas Voted for the APC, while all the Igbos voted for PDP! Even though Buhari won in my Unit, I was very upset in the voting pattern

Buhari really got work to do, when it takes over in May!

MayorofLagos:


I like these inputs.

However, you guys forget that Jonathan turned out that way because his administration was layered with Ibos. He himself declared proudly they are pillars of his administration. All the scandals in his administration were all in cabinet office with an Ibo at top.

Jonathan was not the nemesis....his pillars who were all out to avenge Biafra defeat brought us to this point.

You guys are quivk to dismiss and overlook.....while Ibo perch and wait for opportunity to pounce and assault.

What they did in Jonathan administration is no different than the way they destroyed the nation in the 60s. We need to get away from no "victor no vanquish" attitude and repose for a true democratic spirit of "winner takes all".

What you guys said is good and altruistic....only if the people it is meant for share in the belief of team spirit....and not superiority!

Demdem:


Results sheets were not available on many places in ss se. Most results weren't counted at the polling unit neither was results countersigned by party agents pasted as required by the law and that explains why u hardly see anyone stating publicly the results of their individual polling units as against what is applicable in other regions. Rivers, akwa ibom, Imo are particularly pathetic.
The only consolation is they still can't exceed their registered voters.

MayorofLagos:


shut da fvk up!

The Ijaw nation are blinded at moment and cant recognize their nose from their ear. When the cloud clears and the hood come down and they take stock they will realize their mistake and regret entrusting their son in a cocoon sorrounded with Ibos. You ruined Jonathan's administration.

Ijaws did not Bleep up Jonathan administration, Yorubas were absent in his administration, the Hausas did not do it.....Ibos drowned him in scandals and bad policies.

The best of his cabinet ministers are Yorybas. The worst of them are Ibos and the cabinets that brought repeated disgrace and controversies and divided the country along ethnic and religious lines are headed by Ibos.

Recount how you all stood in for Stealer Oduah? How about your support for Ihejirika's biased and disproportionate staffing of command posts with Ibos?

How many should I quote? Did Peter Obi not cause divisiveness when he accused Fashola of singling out Ibo in his policy of reuniting destitutes back with their homeland and family? Even Ohanaeze jumped in and cried tribalism.......and the nation found out you were not singled out and it wasnt tribalism.

Gbawe, Nduchucks, Superstar are responding in a spirit of forgiveness and brotherhood. I like their response.

It just happens that I have studied Ibo from afar and near, off line and online and I am not convinced you have changed from your convinction, whether perceived or real, that you are superior to everyone else.....and in all times!

When you loose in the political battle to assert your superiority over others someone need to come out and rub your loss in your face....rather than accomodating you with forgiveness.

That person that will rub your loss in your face and deflate your swollen ego is Mayor of Lagos.

I say it again without remorse....shut da fvk up!

Jarus:


I just hope we will have enough gap in NW and NE to make up for the miracle "turn-out" and handwritten results that region will declare tomorrow.

chukwudi44:

Ode when Buhari wins it becomes free and fair but if it is GEJ,it suddenly becomes handwritten baa? Better get ready to join your almajiris brothers in protesting because GEJ is definitely winning this

Mynd44:
The NW and NE is representing too. Buhari is getting block votes. I only worry about states like Plateau and Nassarawa.

Kwars and Kogi are also tilting APC

Mynd44:

And you had to insult him right?

Smh...you do realize that the electoral period will end right?

Afam4eva:
Why are people coming at the Igbos for voting Jonathan. As much as i've never been happy with the way Jonathan is perceived as the best thing after isi-ewu by Igbos, i don't think it's anyone's business who they vote for. They have been accused of tribalism and you ask yourself, is Jonathan Igbo? Can merely changing one's one's name to an Igbo one curry such favour? Why is no one talking about the fact that majority of Northers and Muslims are voting Buhari? Why is it that Buhari is the default candidate for any Northerner i see? You should be even be happy that a handfull of Igbo guys on here have supported Buhari going against the backlash from their fellow Igbos. Abeg, you guys should cast your vote and park well.

Btw, i'll prefer a Buhari to a Jonathan anyday but i'm indifferent.

dazey:



What do you mean by Buhari really got work to do, when it takes over in May? stop dreaming because buhari can never win this election keep on spreading fake results we are waiting for the real result on Monday it we shock you with your fellows liars then you we know that election are not won by spreading propaganda

chukwudi44:

It is not all about winning states but rather margin of victory. Buhari might win more states and yet lose this election. While GEJ is getting 30-40% in supposed Buhari's stronghold can he do same in the se and ss?

Turnout of voters will be another key decider

chukwudi44:

He was been hypocritical and that puts me off

Mynd44:
I have bad news.

Seem Nairaland member and CEO of Nairabet Otunba Akin Alabi is losing. He contested for a seat in the House of Representatives Egbeda/ Ona -Ara Federal constituency in Oyo state.

People simply voted Buhari and thumb printed the rest for good measure

safarigirl:
Afam the Igbos deserve all they're getting...bery tribalistic lot

Their only grouse with GMB is that he's Hausa and from the North and they've refused to let go of whatever perceived wrongs that were meted out to them by the North during the civil war. They'll rather vote an incompetent dolt than even the most competent man from the North. If that's not the worst form of tribalism, I don't know what is

It's times like these that I'm ashamed to be Igbo, we can never move forward like this. It's really pathetic what we have been reduced to. I've never supported Jonathan and I never will, but Igbo people keep dragging this country down with their pettiness every single time. What kind of bitter souls carry a grudge from almost half a decade?

safarigirl:
what party did he contest under and what's his moniker here?

Mynd44:

I think people are coming hard on the SE cos they wonder why they always seem to vote PDP even though they don't get much in return in terms of government making avenues to improve the lives there.

It is also interesting that the APC did not expect to win any state in the SS and SE. These zones were not even factored in.

They have always said they intend to have a majority vote and the necessary percentage in 25 states (19 Northern states and 6 SWern states)

Afam4eva:

I've always wondered same but could it be that they think Jonathan has given them much more than any previous government have. What he has done for the SE may be measly but it's definitely better than what previous government have done combined. It doesn't really matter why they're voting for him. What matters is that they have a reason (even if it's not good enough).

Scatterboss:


He only gave you guys more appointment. I think Obj did same or little in terms of the appointments as well.

Mynd44:

I disagree. Remember during the Subsidy protest the SE almost sat down and watched? I just think the SE is tightly PDP even to the extent that they will rather vote PDP than Ojukwu.

It is not about tribe but party affiliations

Afam4eva:

Igbos have been voting for Hausa/Fulani candidates since time immemorial, so i don't think it's fair to say it's because Buhari is hausa/Fulani. Didn't Igbo vote massively for Yaradua?

if you say Igbos are tribalistic then what will you say about the hausa/Fulanis themselves who will vote massively for Buhari.

One thing i realized is that Igbos tend to vote for people in power. If they voted for an Obasanjo massively over Ojukwu that they so revere, how can you call them tribalistic?
