MrEverest: GEJ Built substandard universities that would churn out Graduates who would end up unemployed, we don't need those new universities, all we need is for him to fund the existing ones and provide jobs and Grants for Graduates, not the mumu Youwin that is only benefitting a few pple. He revamped the Agric sector.....where is the food on our tables Sir? No light in my Area for 5days!! the amount of Almajiri schools that he constructed cannot accommodate the number of almajiri children on the streets of d North!! There have always been trains moving from Lagos to Kano even during OBJ's regime. Our Naira has turned to tissue paper, We that are into importation now spend more to purchase from overseas. Nigeria is the Largest Economy in Africa!! B4 nko? is our population not 3times of SouthAfrica's own?! is it not a shame that we were behind them in the first place? The only things I can commend GEJ for are not Economic or Infrastructure based, they are Social issues which he's not really directly responsible for such as the freedom of Information bill and the way elections conducted under his regime have been conducted. Fayemi congratulated Fayose, The losers congratulated Obiano for winning their elections, it shows Democracy is evolving in Nigeria!! But he just got the Basics wrong!! 3 Likes |

with the way gej and his handlers av been able to perfect the politics of religion and ethnicity, everybody is ready to play along. this is going to be an own goal for gej.90 percent of the More than 80 percent northerners who are muslims will vote Buhari. 90 percent of the 50 percent Yorubas who r muslims will vote Buhari. the same will happen to the christian south south and south east who will vote gej. on ethnicity, majority of the northerners will vote their own as they did in 2011. While the same happens in the ss and se. Majority of the yorubas will vote Buhari cos they av their own son on the ticket. Moreso, as gej has relegated the zone in the scheme of things. coming to the non sentimentalists, its going to be based on performance and each candidates stance on corruption-which is d bane of our development- this where the 50 percent Yoruba christian voters will be shared. Here, Buhari will win majority of the votes. now do the math. buhari is d next President. 3 Likes 1 Share |

queensmith:That is the sad story of Nigeria. Normally, people that live in glass houses ought not to throw stones but again not in Nigeria, Mr A will embezzle state money as much as he could then if he falls out of favour with Mr B who presumably holds the ace, he will jump into another party & immediately assume the garb of a self righteous good man while condemning Mr B as a corrupt person. But your statement in bracket did put my mind in state of flux simply because I see you as being objective. Don't you agree that GEJ deserves our support based on performance?? |

MrEverest: if I hear! I don't even live in Nigeria I am feeling the suffering of Jonathans reign! E don reach that level I'm not lying! Did you read where I mentioned that london underground is 100years old? Nigeria is behind! We are an oil producing country with one of the biggest reserves of oil! Nothing to show for it!!! Look at Dubai! Producing a fraction of the oil we produce! It's ridiculous! I look at Nigeria and I see its potential, the government are doing soo much damage and people don't even see it. Soon Congo will rise above them while they remain forging statistics to fool people. 1 Like |

It wil surprise u guys that gmb wil not get up to 5% of southeast n south south votes. 4get al d noise. The only people that wud vote 4 gmb is rochas n his family, and then amaechi and his family. Apc wont even get up to 20percent vote in edo. And i have to also say this,d reason most yorubas are voting 4 buhari isnt because jonathan hasnt done to well, its because they feel jonathan is using igbos more instead of them n this scratches their body in envy,n also because of osinbajo. Deep down dey know this,but they will nt always want to admit.u free to insult me but thats d truth. 1 Like |

Nigeria is getting highly urbanized so there is no point using geo political zones alone in determining the elections.The elections will be decided in the cities. I will leave out SE, SS, NW and NE out of this analysis. I will concentrate on swing state cities (please don't use the word battle ground states, it is very shallow). The cities are in the SW, NC and in Abuja and we have mainly businessmen, government workers, large corporation/bank workers, universities et.c.. These states don't have a big tribal axe to grind as in the SE, SS and NE and NW. Please don't forget there has never been a composite northern candidate like Buhari, the man is both Fulani and Kanuri from both sides of his parenthood, which is an unbelievably powerful combination. Also Jonathan casts a profile that an Igbo person, a South South person and some Efik/Ibiobio groups would readily identify with. So back to the 'neutral' cities, the following broad demographics are clear. Young Urban fresh graduate workers Young urban established professionals Young urban self employed Middle aged graduate workers Middle aged established workers. Middle aged self employed. This is how I see it playing out in these cities e.g Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Jo's, Makurdi, Abeokuta, Benin, Ondo, Okene, et.c Young Urban fresh graduate workers. Buhari 70%: Jonathan 30% Young urban established professionals. Buhari 60%: Jonathan 40% Young urban self employed. Buhari 35%: Jonathan 65% Middle aged graduate workers. Buhari 80%: Jonathan 20% Middle aged established Professionals. Buhari 55%: Jonathan 45% Middle aged self employed. Buhari 40% : Jonathan 60% This is Jonathan's big problem. The voters who don't have the capacity to like him are many. NW, NE and parts of SW. The voters who like him are few - SS, SE and parts of NC and For the people who are neutral (not undecided mind you, just neutral) he has annoyed the gentle hard working struggling city dwellers through unbelievable corruption in government, weakness in fighting insecurity and kow towing to billionaire traders masquerading as industrialists. 1 Like |

datibo: Imo State and parts of Ebonyi don't follow stereotypical Igbo tendencies. The Anambra commercially driven political tendency which has driven SE politics for long has always been actively resisted in the region even now more so. When you say 5% for Buhari you are putting your own emotions into things 2 Likes |

Honestly there's no way GEJ is winning this election free and fair. I have never been in a gathering of Yoruba that majority are supporting GEJ. As a matter of fact, there are many gatherings that you won't find one GEJ supporter and if it happens its 1 out of 10. When people say GEJ will win SW, I just wonder how. SW voters are voting based on the failures of this government. Osinbajo is just the icing on the cake. GEJ knows he's in trouble in the SW is the reason he keeps coming back 2 Likes |

kokoA: I'm so impressed by your submissions. Dont mind Jonathanians/Tanoids. That is their modus operandi. They erroneously think this election is a christian vs muslim OR North vs South thing. When you show them otherwise using superior argument as a Buhari supporter, they then resort to insults depending on where the person is from or the person's religion. If the person is from the east, they will call the person a bastard, an efulefu (or whatever), If the person is from the SS, they will call the person a bastard, a bloody traitor, slave to Hausa-Fulani, If SW, they will call the person Hausa-Fulani slave, If a christian northerner, they will call the person stupid and unwise, that muslims have been killing them, yet the person cannot see that and hate them in return, If the person is from NC, they will call the person stupid and unwise, that can't the person see the rampage of the Fulani herdsmen, If the person is a core Northerner, they will call the person Bokoharam, terrorist, etc. Those guys are a big problem to this country. Whenever they want to do their political calculations, it's only divisive and hate comments you'll be seeing from them. That... All christians in the North will vote for GEJ, that christians among Yorubas will vote for GEJ, that Benue and plateau guys that has suffered in the hands of fulani herdsmen will vote for GEJ, they will never tackle issues about how GEJ has performed, and this is the reason why he'll get votes! They always ironically claim APC/Buhari supporters are a hateful & angry people, but they themselves exhibit an alarming and chronic hateful, vengeful and vile disposition. Just observe them in discussions both online and offline, whenever they hear Buhari, they will start foaming in the mouth and start wishing him death and sicknesses and start expressing shock that anybody is voicing support for him. They will even go to the extent of saying: -even if he wins, GEJ should not hand over to him. -GEJ should rig himself in and they will back him. -GEJ should postpone the elections further. ...and a host of other unimaginable statements that will ultimately lead to a state of anarchy. By God's grace GMB will win this election and it will pass the msg across that it is time to put ethnic and religious sentiments behind us in choosing leaders. 1 Like |

datibo: Senseless comment. Why are the Yorubas not pained that Lagos has consistently been using an Igbo man as the commissioner for economic planning and budget for the past 15 yrs? We don't care! It is performance we vote for, not myopic and primordial ethnic/religious sentiments. 1 Like |

This Nigerian politics is very interesting. People are just sitting down and imagining eldorado for their own political side without even injecting a dose of reality. |
