Kobojunkie:

No, there was no low turnout at the polls in Lagos oo. I think as some have alluded, ACN reps at the polls may have advised people to vote PDP. I heard that on ChannelsTV yesterday, and again later on and it has been repeated again on here. So, you never know, it could have happened.

sbeezy8:

[size=13pt] I want to know why the low number of votes in the SW-

JEGA ANNOUNCED 15 MILLION REGISTERED TO VOTE IN THE SW YET bearly 3-4 million voted in all SW STATES PUT TOGETHER, ITS NOT ADDING UP[/size]

Ileke-IdI:

You and this theory too?
Ok, so what is your explanation for the other SW state poll result?

Ileke-IdI:



Please start from the beginning and not the middle.

I think you quoted the wrong person.

Ileke-IdI:

That was my earlier question:

1) If Tinubu had the ability to sell SW votes, how did he change millions of minds without the media or any mental force? It's simply impossible.

2) Not only Lagos voted for GEJ in millions, could it be remotely possible for Tinubu to change their mind? NO


GEJ was not the best choice, but I guess SW was content from last saturday and they decided to reward GEJ for a free and "fair" election. Possible expl.

The bolded is the first sensible thing u have said in this thread. . .

yea i imagine the ppl of the SW. . .feeling like GEJ can be trusted, esp for his free and fair elections

remember the president appoints the INEC head. . .and if we get someone else he can easily appoint a crooked character as INEC head and we are back to square 1

so yes SW and ACN voters voted for their interests in a way. . .hoping to win OYO and OGUN next week. . .

and keep all the SW states in the kitty in subsequent elections. . .

soloqy:

@ the highlighted part. Very untrue. Even in my polling unit, the ACN agents were disputing and voiding pdp votes like there was no tomorrow. Some of us had to come in and help the intimidated PDP agent to salvage valid votes that the ACN agent forced them into admitting that they weren't valid.

eldee:

You mean the part where you referred to the SouthWest as a nation?
I hope that's just a typo and not the tribal state of mind we always see here.

Kobojunkie:

I don't know. I do know, yes many planned to vote one way for NASS and another for The presidential elections, but the results so far do not make sense. Yes, I expected PDP to carry in some places but man, it is as if ACN had no chance at all. Even CPC and other parties had no chance. The level of defeat handed to ACN during the presidential election makes me question what I see.

Ileke-IdI:

Eldee, are you just looking for an argument? What has this post got to do with your first contribution?
The SW is not a nation again? Would SW tribes sound less tribalistic?

Ileke-IdI:

Hmmm. You and sjeezy are playing with the same ball here.
Maybe we'll be offered explanation for the low turnout of the SW voters and the almost too high votes for PDP. Why is Buhari/Ribadu keeping so quiet tho?

eldee:

Hehehe . . . come on, you know I love you.
You said I should read from the beginning (which I hate doing), and I did.

And for true Nigerians like us that see beyond ethnic divide, Nigeria is the nation . . . the South West is just a region, part of the nation.
Tribes is tribalistic too . . . stick with Regions, or the popular one . . . states??

Kobojunkie:

One thing I have learnt when it comes to Politics in Nigeria is to take what I hear seriously, and only discard it when I have sufficiently broken it to bits.

@Babapupa, @Sjeezy . . . the major Nairaland ACN reps on here are hinting at something possibly taking place behind close doors. . . that there is reason for me to take that and run with it until I get sufficient evidence to say it is not worth it. ROFLMAO!!!

I mean I heard this on ChannelsTV, and so many others have repeated the same . . . either they all watched when some people texted in on the show to say that or some of them witnessed it.

soloqy:

Please look for real ACN reps. Besides, how many people are card carrying members of ACN in Lagos? How logical is saying that ACN sold out to PDP (on the eve of an election)and over 1 million people decided to vote for PDP because of that. You must think very lowly of Nigerians to think that way.

Ileke-IdI:

Now I'm beginning to suspect. ugh, when do you think this whole thing will be cleared up?

Ileke-IdI:

hmmm. . . .thinking. . . .

Nah, I prefer SW nation Yoruba nation is more appropriate tho, but seeing that the SW is a huge mixture of Yorubas and Non-Yorubas, the SW nation will do. We need to stop using the savage terminology of our people as tribes.

Kobojunkie:

I am going to guess by the above that you have not been here a while . . . ROFLMAO!!!

I am sorry but no, I don't have to think lowly of Nigerians to know what is possible, especially from our past.

eldee:

Yep . . . we need to start seeing people as Nigerians instead, but that won't stop if you keep saying things like 'SW Nation' . . . for goodness sake a substantial percentage of Lagosian are from the South East 'nations'.

Kobojunkie:

I don't expect 'em to come out to say they did it. We will probably get hints from here and there and maybe someone will confess like months later, when he feels he has been stabbed or something by the group. lol

We now resort to fabrication and conspiracy theories to strengthen our positions.

Nice!!!!

soloqy:

its not logical to believe that Tinubu sold out to PDP a night before elections all the while, they were still accusing pdp of everything from ballot snatching to bringing the military to intimidate them.

soloqy:

So even assuming they had to tell everyone in Lagos to vote for PDP how could going to the papers and TV and shouting that PDP was planning to rig and that PDP directed thousands of soldiers to lagos, have helped that cause?

Ileke-IdI:

I already explained that in my Previous posts. Since the SW has a huge mixture of Yorubas and Non-Yorubas (Thanks to our open arms and tolerance level, then the  SW nation seems more appropriate.
USA has a large percentage of Hispanics, Africans and Europeans. They're not trying to change the country's historic name because they'd  want everyone  to feel as one.
You insult the Yorubas by asking them to abolish their identity in totality. We've taken our step towards one Nigeria (or one SW) as exemplified by the results. We do not need to forget the blood that runs in our veins.
