Lol, it will always be the same alaye.
Voting is being convinced and civic responsibility.

Either manual or electronic.
Once you're not eager to vote you won't vote.
Everybody hope for a sane environment to vote. with e-voting u will know that politicians are mere servants.
they know this and thats why they keep kicking against it

Most of you lack sense......that was how you ignorant educated illiterates misinterpreted Buhari's 5% statement in the US in 2015 as Igbos being 5% of Nigeria's voters.......ignoramuses forming sophistication.



What INEC means is that out of 100% population of registered voters, only 3.29% came out to vote.


Just as Buhari's 5% meant that out of total 100% vote Buhari got, that just 5% came from the Southeast region to him......not that Southeast is 5% of total voters in Nigeria.


Even common sense ought to tell you that Igbos are even much more in number than Yorubas if not same. Every state you go in Nigeria, there is at least 5000 Igbo voters.......and Igbos alone make up at least 25 - 35% of total voters in Lagos alone.

Ever since I've been voting there has never been rigging and violence in my constituency.

Do,you mean all constituencies in south east all have rigging, violence and no sane environment to vote?

SE traditionally has the lowest voter turnout in any election. The last election, the SE gave Obi the lowest number of votes. Since that time, Atiku has never stepped his foot in the SE.

That is part of the reasons why no one is considering SE for 2023.

A by-election took place yesterday in Aba, South East Nigeria for a Senatorial seat. The registered voters in the constituency is 496,628 but only 16,017 votes were cast.

Someone just became a Senator with 3.29% voter turnout.

People have lost trust with the failed Nigerian system due to the Genocidal evilness of the bloodthirsty killer #TyrantBuhari. God Destroy this bloodthirsty killer! Ilahee Ameen!

Not only 35% of voters in Lagos, Igbos are 99% of the voters in Lagos. grin
You keep shouting about Lagos while the SE is in ruins and desperate for good leadership. Is it a sin for you to have good leaders in the SE?

Less than 4% of voters came out to vote. Abia is seriously cursed.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


Even if everyone votes, do our votes really counts in this country??. Especially under this present administration that don't give a damn about its people.

This is the reason why rigging is easy in Nigeria... Low turnouts and availability of blank ballot papers...... There is rigging everywhere even in advance countries but high turnouts and high valid votes makes the rigging invisible.... In Nigeria low turnouts and high number of invalid votes gives them more room to manipulate results

Have you heard of IPOB & ESN before?
They are responsible for the low turn out.

They have enlightened the masses. The people now know that the sham & scam called elections, can NEVER better their lives.




BluntCrazeMan:
In the Just-concluded Aba North and Aba South Federal Constituency Bye-election, out of the registered 496,628 number of voters in the Constituency, only 16,335 were accredited, constituting only 3.29% turnout of the whole number of registered voters in the Constituency.

With this, it just means that, even if the voters turnout is just 0.003% (or something like 35 people out of 759,456 registered voters), INEC will still declare their results like that.

It is really worrisome.

What was the reason for the Low Voters Turnout?

Was it Voter-apathy?
Or were they Boycotting as usual?

(This is a very bitter message to Boycotters.
No matter the boycotting, even if One Single Person Came out to vote, his vote will count, and whoever he voted for would win).

Have you ever asked yourself why rigging works in Nigeria??

It's because there are plenty of unused ballot papers (which the riggers at the Polling-units would use for their multiple thumb-printing).

And also, there are low voters turnouts (which the dubious Collation officers would easily convert to whichever value they want).

Had it been that the Voters Turnouts are huge, there won't be any room for rigging.
You lie , you forget that there is a big insecurity in the country and it is a dangerous journey going to pulling unit to cast vote and if we go by your analysis politicians will hire thugs to destrupt the process , putting people's lives in dangerous situation , then when you here election is coming no body will advises you whether to go out and vote or not
