Politics / Re: Buhari Violating Federal Character In Appointments – Ekweremadu by Zikkyy(m): 9:11pm On Oct 21, 2015 |
tuniski: My source is INEC official results 2011 & 2015. If you don't have the official results, visit INEC website or use google. My analysis is not comparing PDP votes vs. APC votes. My analysis is comparing Bulgari's 2011 performance against his 2015 performance. What am contesting here is your statement that GEJ lost due to northern revolt. This would imply massive gain or increase in northern votes when compared to 2011 result. But the 2015 count does not reflect this. If you don't see PMB's 2011 performance as revolt by northern voters, then 2015 performance cannot be seen as a northern revolt because the difference between 2011 & 2015 count in the north is insignificant. Increase in buhari's 2015 performance from 12million to 15million is due mainly to SW & some NC votes. If there was voters revolt, it was from the South. Buhari won because GEJ lost voters across the six geopolitical regions, but Buhari's gain in vote count was mainly from SW. |

tuniski: I would advise you work with facts (as much as possible). It will help your argument. See below for the source of the 'revolt' you talking about.... Source of Buhari's additional 3 million votes 2011 vs. 2015 FCT - Increased by 14,000 NC - Increased by 651,000 NE - Decreased by 776,000 NW - Increased by 461,000 SE - Increased by 177,000 SS - Increased by 368,000 SW - Increased by 2,111,000 So you can see the source of the 'revolution', mainly from south west. Votes from north east reduced by 776,000. So you can that Buhari's victory was never the result of northern voters 'revolt'. |

tuniski: Buhari been getting good results in the North since 2003. The 12 million votes he got in 2011 mainly from the North. Not much increase in Northern votes in 2015. The additional 3 million votes for 2015 were mainly from Southwest & Middle Belt. Buhari did not win the 2015 election as a result of voters revolt in the North, he won because of voters revolt in the South (mainly SW) & Middle Belt! |

TonyeBarcanista: PDP loosing votes in SS if they present a northern Muslim in 2019 will not really be because of hatred for anybody, it will be because an SS man is not on the ticket (what i would call the 'our brother' factor). |

TonyeBarcanista: This is true, even though there will always be exception. TonyeBarcanista: @ the bit highlighted in red font, the average SS person will not vote PDP simply because an Igbo man is on the ticket. And you know why? it is because they don't hate anybody. They will assess the Igbo man the way they would assess a yoruba or any other tribe. TonyeBarcanista: You honestly believe the average SS voter gives a damn about sectional or national brands!! It's obvious you don't know your people. The average SS voter is neither PDP nor APC, cash and/or influence (personalities) determines the direction of their vote. 3 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista: I think you should consider performance. There will be no need for an election between PMB and Ribadu if PMB performs. It will simply be a waste of election materials and time. Benue, Kogi, Ondo, Ekiti, and other northern states you mentioned will not be voting PDP if PMP performs. I also don't see the incentive for the NC states voting against PMB with PDP also presenting a Muslim candidate. The problem is that you assume the NC states to be party loyal. Its also very possible for APC to lose 2019 if they present a non performing PMB for 2nd term (that of course will depend on the candidate presented by PDP). I assume we are not considering the benefits to be derived from being the existing holder of political office (incumbency). TonyeBarcanista: ...and you believe Ribadu has the qualities to oust a performing PMB in the North? |
Politics / Re: PDP 2019 Zoning: A Good Step In The Right Direction by Zikkyy(m): 2:44pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
TonyeBarcanista: PDP winning the 2019 election will depend on PMB's performance and presidential candidate presented by both APC & PDP. Your analysis here is based only on the assumption that PMB will fail. TonyeBarcanista: With a Northern candidate, PDP will loose votes in the SS. Your people in the SS will not really 'give a damn' about who wins the election between PDP & APC. 1 Like |

Lordave: ....maybe it's due to absence of candidates with concern for the well-being of Igbos.... Lordave: I agree. Lordave: This defeatist attitude is not good.

Politics / Re: Rumble In The Jungle As Corruption Fights Back- The Vanguard by Zikkyy(m): 1:14pm On Sep 03, 2015 |
TheFreeOne: Take an institution like efcc. Why would anybody consider it to be strong? Is it because the commission is effective in handling economic crimes? If the efcc is seen to be effective, the question is how was it achieved? Is it because we have angels working in efcc or is it because to do otherwise will result in sanctions? So who or what system ensures personnel continues to do the right thing by adhering to policies/processes? Leadership? Other External checks? Institutions are effective because people running them want to succeed or some external forces/regulators want them to succeed. So back to your question, to encourage strong institution means ensuring these institutions functions as intended and it's not just by empowerment. Effectiveness is most times a reflection of that institutions perception of the altitude of the ultimate oga at the top. So body language matters (for now). |
Politics / Re: Rumble In The Jungle As Corruption Fights Back- The Vanguard by Zikkyy(m): 12:08pm On Sep 03, 2015 |
TheFreeOne: Because you see the word 'strong', you probably assumed strong institutions are made of cement. That's so wrong. Institutions are managed by people and if it is effective it means you either have the right leadership or there is an effective external check or both. |

patmaine: Even without local car assembly, the part manufacturers can grow by making parts for servicing/repairs of automobiles. parts manufacturers will thrive producing parts/spares for maintaining the millions of cars on our roads today. It's not compulsory you have a car manufacturing plant before you make tyres, brakepad, fan belt, battery or engine oil. 1 Like |

barcanista: Are you saying we don't buy our cars for now but wait till the time government is able to bring down the cost of owning a car? The pocket plays a part in the buying decision of consumers. Increasing tariff on tokunbo cars will not make me buy a brand new that is twice the price. The auto policy is a very good idea (on paper) but i don't see how the goals will be achieved if the market is not taken into consideration. At current price, the policy (fully implemented) will bring pain to Nigerians instead of jobs. 1 Like |

barcanista: Mainly tokubo vehicles except for politicians and extra large contractors. We are talking about brand new cars. that's what the local plant will be producing. barcanista: It will create lots of jobs if we are able to consume everything that's produced. The volume of imported vehicles is about 60,000 annually (if am correct). The implication is that the volume cannot sustain more than two or three manufacturers. So i don't see the lots of jobs anywhere. You don't need local assembly to increase patronage of raw materials. It's even easier and better to start with the local production of replacement parts to service vehicles in use. barcanista: Focus on refining first. Impact of imported cars on foreign reserve is not so material when compared to refined petroleum products (in tens of billions USD). Refining will create more jobs, open up more industries (petrochemical, chemical, plastic, textile e.t.c). barcanista: This is based on the assumption that we can afford the cheaper alternative, but we know local version is not cheap. 1 Like |

Boss13: Thank you. "how do we get the average nigerian to buy these cars manufactured or assembled in nigeria"? This is why i say Nigeria is not ready for local assembly. The truth is that majority of Nigerians cannot afford brand new cars. So who is going to consume the output? Putting a credit system in place is one thing, can we afford the credit? do we earn enough to qualify for the credit? 1 Like |

barcanista: The auto policy as it is is designed to bring pain to Nigerians. We are not ready for it. Our economy just cannot take it. It makes little difference if the car is imported or manufactured locally. How Nigerians buy brand new automobiles (aside politicians and corporate)? I really don't see locally assembly making any serious impact if our economy cannot consume their output. Let the Government focus on areas that will impact more on the economy e.g. power, refining, agriculture e.t.c 1 Like 1 Share |
