The 2023 general election is close and there's no doubt that each individual has a reason(s) why they are attracted to a specific candidate or party. It is your undeniable right as a human being and as a citizen. What I've observed is that most people, especially on social media do not have what it takes to sell/market their candidates. More worrisome is the fact that many do not know how to it.

In my opinion, marketing your party candidate is akin to a trader whose trying to convince a potential buyer to purchase an item from him or her. Generally speaking, before a seller can convince a customer to make a particular purchase of an item, that seller must know the value or importance of the items he is presenting to the potential buyer. In fact, even after you've presenting the item and speaking convincingly to buyers, there's no guarantee that they will purchase the item. So, as a seller, do you now insult them?

Not everyone will support your Tinubu and Atiku. As a Peter Obi supporter, I clearly understand that he won't get a consensus from everyone, so should I be provoked? It makes no sense at all. If you want us to vote Atiku, sell his credibility to your audience. Same goes for Obi and Tinubu supporters. And if someone challenges or counter your point with evidence, simply acknowledge it and modify your campaign strategy.

God bless you sir. 2015 general election was the genesis of all these nonsense.

favor914:
We know when their discuss doesn’t align with your Ipobian ideology?

What's ipobian ideology please? Well whatever that means, I really don't wanna know. I'd suggest you at least try and know what led to my response before castigating me with such label.

Charly68:
Honestly if Nigerians can trust Tinubu and vote for him,he will raise first class future leaders for the nation. I say this judging by his style of leadership.. IBB tried to do same but he messed his works up with June 12 1993 debacle..he would have been a living legend today .

That is one of things I think he is capable of doing. On the contrary, he is getting old and his strength is gradually leaving him and might not be able to see that true as a result. Besides this is Nigeria and I believe he must have to negotiate his way in and out of the presidency. Can he be bold enough to wrestle the born-to-rule mentality from the northerners and restructure the nation for the better? He can but not not in the twilight of his political career

Fahdiga:
We supported Atiku in 2019 because there was no better choice before us then. Buhari was a monumental failure and there's no way that any sane person will vote for him the second time but alas he succeeded in rigging himself in.

Comrade there are cèrtain kinds of people u ought not to quote on this forum. They are irrational, lack comon sense and tge ability to reason critically. The guy u responded to is one of them.

We Nigerians called him an ineffectual buffoon, a drunkard, nonentity and all sorts of derogatory names. He jettisoned for what they told us was change. Look at him now and look at us. The difference is clear.

The sad reality remains that they the politicians will tell you that Muslim muslim ticket is not bad inasmuch as it delivers progressive governance, but the extremists will look at the composition of the seat of power and feel they are in control and free to do whatever they please. Just as we have seen in the past when a soldier will tell citizens to their faces that he will shoot them and nothing will happen.

DominionGreat:
Finally u just proved to me you don't have single sense and you are a certified zombie.

All the Minister's were replaced from the state the previous resigned from.
Or you expect them to replace a Rivers Ministerial slot with a Jigawa man abi?

U need deliverance Vulture grillers

Bro asides his usual mischievous nature here on nairaland, I honestly thought that guy was learned. His submission shows that he is one of those educated illiterates fooling themselves on this platform. Take him serious at your own peril

Coldie:
Yoruba people should stop attacking igbos over Tinubu alot of us igbos are willing and ready to support his presidency.

Comrade it's quite a show of shame. Take a look at the first page and you will be disappointed at how it degenerated to anti-igbo banter. For me, buhari's presidency and the bad state of the nation was so avoidable. We collectively kept him away from the presidency since 2003 knowing fully well that he has nothing to offer. The good thing is that even those who supported BAT to give PMB the extra 3 million votes in 2015 still buy filing gas and diesel for 800 per liter.

zinaunreal:
May all your children look like Tinubu ... FOOL

That's actually a blessing, comrade

Still looking for where the reporter introduced himself. Why the rush to brand him an igboman?

Issues such as this expose the kids and unintelligent ones among us here on nairaland. Education in Nigeria is a scam indeed. It is only morons that will say ika is an ethnic group.

APC took under 7 years to sink Nigeria deeper than what it took PDP 16 years to do. If internet fraudsters were only 100 in number before Buhari and his band of crooks came to power, they are about 1million now.

Bravetunde:
Theivenubu is too wrong for nigeria.
He is old, tribalistic,sick,corruptt, entitlement mentality,hates ss/se region,jujuish, local,and I just hate theivenubu.

BAT can be anything but tribalistic.

SARSCoV2:
Same was send in last 2 decades when some lots were winning online polls, it didn’t change the result. History will only repeat itself.

Not bothered a bit! The actual reality is so clear.

I will rather refer u to the 2022 electoral act. Have u also heard of electronic transmission of votes? I am not debating your history lessons, I am only asking you to look up and feel the winds of change

gentlegenius:
Well... That is because Nigeria is not a sane country. here, the insane fools are much more than the enlightened ones.
Which side do you belong?

I believe that's a rhetorical question cos we both know where he belongs. Stockholm syndrome on the beat.

SARSCoV2:
Online winners don’t win actual elections. The records are not hidden and still littering Google.

Yes thats true in Nigeria because online voters dont actually have pvcs. They do now and it should bother u.

helinues:
If you guys could get it wrong then without learning a thing from what might have led to the loss, same thing could also be inevitable this time.

Now, SE are indirectly scheming themselves out of the 2 major political party in Nigeria. Should Obi's presidency fail, Na O.Y.O politically be that

Those who refused to learn from the past learn in hard ways

Dollar is 610 in the SE and 150 in other parts of the country. We will start getting it right the moment we learn that it is the rich vs the poor, the political class vs the masses. Kudos if u belong to the political class keeping the masses in perpetual poverty. However, if u find urself in the other side of the divide and still proud of ur actions, it's a pity but try not to pull back others who dare to dream big and reach their potentials in life.

SARSCoV2:
History has it that whoever wins the online polls, loses the election.

History also has it that voter apathy has been responsible for that. The recent pvc registration tsunami should worry u. People are now willing to substitute their smartphones for their pvcs.

QueenOfTheCoast:
it's very sad seeing people treating politics like a competition that one group must win irrespective of the consequences.
Nigeria politicians have made us think that election is an inter tribe/religion competition but at the end of the day when the suffering that comes with electing crooks comes, it selects no religion or tribe.
Today all tribes are suffering from insecurity. no place is safe in Nigeria and no tribe is safe.
today the hardship is being suffered by all tribes and religion.
today all Nigerian University are grounded no tribe left out or religion.

So why can't we rubbish these tribalism and elect competent hands since the effects will be enjoyed by all too.
time to ask ourselves this critical question.
these old crooks have been playing this game for ages and it has been working for them.
time to put a stop to it.
enough is enough.
a new political order must rise or else criminal politicians will sink us.
God bless us all.

Don't bother urself trying to convince him (I am very sure that it's a guy behind that moniker cos a lady can't be that insensitive). At least he agreed that Nigeria is in a mess. What he has failed to understand is that the person he is rooting for has never in the past 7years agreed that Nigeria is in a mess. What problem will he come.to solve if he never believes there is a problem in the first place? 2023 is about the sensible Nigerians against the foolish Nigerians, Patriots against tribalists, good vs evil

michlins:
name one mega factory built by APC in the last eight years. How many MW did they add to the national grid in the last eight years? The four refinaries that were promised, where's one.

It's not by making big promises,do what you can and lay the foundation for many more to happen.

The ECA which Jonathan was crucified for has been completely depleted and still no single infrastructure to justify it and our Naira is at all time low. You can not purchase anything more than $50 on the internet right now

Baba stop quoting bots. Even zombies don get sense las las. Which reasonable individual will come to a thread where a billionaire business man is complaining of high cost of production without knowing that he is indirectly warning us to expect more increase in cost of basic goods? Save ur energy and debate with humans and not programmed bots

Beverlyjean:
Shey Tinubu is the saviour of SW with his economic wisdom... y are other APC States in the SW struggling

The same reason why abia state workers are struggling. When will u people understand that it's not about the east vs the west or the north vs the south? It's about the political class vs the masses. politixs and leadership in Nigeria is the worst in this world. It's all about their pockets and they dont care about the masses

i am most satisfied with the way peter obi is changing the electioneering landscape with his issue-based approach. This will help make elections in nigeria about visions, competence and deliverables rather than tribalism, nepotism, religion and patronage.

Hypocrites everywhere. The year 2023 will be about the good vs the evil. My only prayer is that the Almighty visit us according to the choices we make.

Mccullum:
You forgot to mention that of Peter Obi too, there's no saint among them! Nigerians just need a very brilliant democrat and administrator.

Yes you are right. Nigeria needs a brilliant and VIBRANT Democrat and administrator. Plesse note the emphatic stress

Watch out for the emergence of TINUBU.

Politics in Nigeria is patronage-based.

Permesso:
This is what they should be doing, if residents of other igbo state's where Ipob are causing Nuisance step up against them, by now they will get it hot hot that they're not needed anymore, rather than doing this, Anambra residents are singing praises for ipob, obeying sit at home.
They should be killed and chase out of the Orlu, the only place they have stronghold and camp. Goodnews!

Its obvious you either didnt read the post or comprehend the content of the message. Wahala dey o

It's obvious that BAT is being targeted. But the man is a colossus. Only a consensus candidate can make BAT not to emerge as APC's flagbearer. All these political leg overs does nothing to BAT's ambitions at all.

WideMouth333:
Buhari has shown that no matter how settled or how much you feel you are this or that secured, a wrong leader with a few wrong policies can wreck you beyond your wildest imaginations...
Your business/career prosperity is largely dependent on your leaders.. ask God for forsight to pick the right one. We have seen what a wrong one can do.....

tinunbu should never in his life smell that seat....

we should all vote massively for a younger president just like peter obi....

peter obi will give Nigerians new fresh hopes.....

i can assure you 100% of that ....

cheers!

The powers that be will never allow that happen.

Subsea:
They kept saying GEJ sold crudeoil for $90 dollars as an excuse but now Buhari is selling $115 dollars for over 6 months now

It is either they have jumped ship and queued up behind the next calamity-in-waiting or that BMC itself, was created to facilitate the transition of power to their paymasters. Either way, they are enemies of a progressive Nigeria.

We no longer hear from zombies who used low crude oil prices for PMB's abysmal performance.

Reality3080:
regardless of ethnicity?

Even ikpeazu,umahi,kalu all have different candidates

U better softly dey lie to yourself,pdp will not give its ticket to someone whom apga is controlling his state

Yes, regardless of ethnicity. You have to be based abroad to understand that phrase.
