let me say this on record
it is very laughable when i read people's comment on election boycott stating that it does not change anything

Now listen to me and take it into ur skull...election boycott will have major impact if possible grave consequences if there is no election, because the electoral acts states that u need two-third majority of accredited vote cast to win any political office

When that happens?there won't be a declared winner,which means that all the candidates will start going to court(case upon cases..i pity the election tribunals,they will be having a field day because it is going to be an infinite case,and upcoming cases of election boycott to be heard..which means some politicians will start losing interest)...what is the negative impact?the negative impact is that there is no winner and government activity will be affected or crippled.

Whereby there is no winner...the FG might use measures to appoint someone that will take over...which i know might not be feasible.and even if it works,it won't stay for a very long time coz the constitution did not demand such person to be in charge for a long period of time....such actions will still affect the smooth running of government in the affected states or federation

Now what is the end point?

the end point is that Nigeria will be exposed to the world that there was an election boycott by majority of people or some section of the country, which will be a point of debate by the congress of the United Nations why there was disenfranchisement or voters apathy of eligible voters

What will the UN Assembly be looking at or the matter of urgent discuss?

what is the remote cause of election boycott?what do the want?has that thing they have been protecting all they years working?how can it be solve?let's look for a solution that will be feasible to all and sundry so that there won't be any breakdown of law and order,Loss of human life as enshrined in the UN human right Charter.Chaos and Anarchy and to stop any Inevitable war or any political turmoil

And after series of discussion....you and I knows what is next?

To my humble conclusion i think IPOB is winning the war.

God bless us all.Amen.

buhari and his fanatics thinks it is all about guns and shooting people all the time, by the time the ideology behind election boycott comes to full light nobody will tell the world that the igbos have truly made a decision.
It is going to be gradual but the point will surely be made no matter the time it takes we must secure the future of our children children.

Can't deduce ur point Mr Man!

Two or 3 weeks ago, the opposition leader of Kenya, Raila Odinga, boycotted Kenya Presidential election. By boycotting the elections, Mr Odinga knew he was giving the incumbent president, Uhuru Kenyatta a clear victory.

However, Odinga knew that the boycott would take the legitimacy away from Kenyattas victory. So even though Kenyatta will continue as president, he will always be seen an illegitimate president who came to office through a hollow victory.


There is power in election boycott and I urge my fellow Igbos to use it. This is no longer about who come to power, some of us have been voting since the 90's till today, what has come out of it? Nigwria is still a messed up place. So what did we vote for? So one thief after the other can come in, smile in our face, cart away our money and in four we go to elect the next thief?

One thing I know as a proud Igbo man, I will never vote again in Nigeria. If someone gives me money to vote, I will gladly take the money but still not vote.

I urge ny fellow Anambarians to boycott the November 18th elections

OFE NSALA!

Opposition boycotted elections in kenya the other day,was Uhuru Kenyatta not declared the winner?
For your information Un doesn't care if you boycott your election or not.Nigeria is a sovereign state. How many times have Un and Us threaten Myanmar because of Rohingya crisis or even Dutere of Philippines because of the drug war yet nothing happened.
This is Africa and the only thing that can draw these people's attention is if they are tired of killings and selling weapons to you for fighting, they only come in in the name of humanitarian crisis. Every country is all about interest and profits
If you like boycott elections, someone must be declared a winner and will rule over you and there is nothing You can do than to groan.
Catalonia declared independence yet it didn't last up to a week because none of these countries in the international communities give a damn.
This is Africa and none of these countries will give a damn to your agitations if you are putting their interests or profits at stake!!!!

offcourse even if Kenyans see it's government as illegitimate will that prevent him from completing his full tenure? The only party That can settle that matter is the supreme court but yet they shy away from it.Election boycott doesn't work in 21st century. instead you are doing yourself

The truth is that there won't be 100% boycott. Many people will still vote even if there is low turn out. Remember Nigeria practise majority carries the vote. So no matter the low turn out, the person with the highest vote wins. It is only deluded person that thinks no single person will vote. Every political party has thousands of party faithfuls, plus another thousands that love the policies of their respective government, those are the people that will decide who win.

leave them to keep dreaming. if an irresponsible person win and start owing salaries or even tax people more,they will stil be the same people to complain but were karma will work is that they will still pay the tax and the person will government them for four full years.

you need to be enlighten about the required number of votes to win in an election

A candidate must have two/third majority of accredited votes and 50% vote cast

A situation whereby those eligible accredited voters that are meant to vote did not turn up or few participated in the election,which renders the two/third votes useless because they did not make up the required number of votes

it will be declared persona non grata and the law court will be asked to take up the matter,all the candidates will heed to court to jostle for their right

Hahahaha, keep deceiving urself. The last Edo state election is a case study, low turn out but a governor was declared. In fact, low turn out is not usually stated, what INEC always care about is conducting the election and giving the one with the majority vote the win. U people will shoot urself on the foot on that day. The majority vote will win, even if they go court , the incumbent governor and winner will still be in charge of the state till the court case is finished. And remember, no opposition has ever defeated an incumbent governor in the court in the history of Nigeria. So the incumbent governor will end up staying .

The op has proven he has reading disability lol. You get two run off elections then simple majority takes win. Check our my other thread if you want facts about electoral law.

(5) In default of a candidate duly elected under subsection (4) of this section, the Independent National Electoral Commission shall within seven days of the result of the election held under that subsection, arrange for another election between the two candidates to which that sub-paragraph relates and a candidate at such election shall be deemed to have been duly elected to the office of a Governor of a State if he has a majority of the votes cast at the election.

Mr Tortoise that can't comprehend intelligently about electoral laws what Run-off-election meant that two candidates that secured the highest number of votes by 50% or the highest number of votes will be reschedule to take the Run-off-election

whereby the number of votes of candidates is not up to 10% because of voters apathy...so u mean runoff election should be conducted to all the candidates.... Mr Man u need ur brain to be examine stop thinking with ur retina.

Lol still trying to argue with simple English right in your face. How intelligent of you Igbos. No you're adding words. It's pathetic you can't read. It says simple majority in 3rd election and your arguing.

(a) he has a majority of the votes cast at the election ; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the local government areas in the State

And you have understanding disability to know that run-off-elections are product of (a)Majority votes cast (b)Votes not less than one-third

so when section (a)&(b) are not in tandem or missing because of election boycott which will amount to little votes....so run-off-election should be conducted Mr Tortoise?

Lol still arguing with black and white words in face. You'll be the first to claim your a graduate. Lol your argument is so daft. The run off elections occur because they defaulted from previous requirements. During second run off. It's simple majority.

Only an an Idiotic Pig of Biafra couldn't understand this basic point. He's even asking dumb question because he can't read. Do you think the politicians, their families and campaign teams going boycott election. Simple majority of votes cast is all that's need. While your at home eating Nsala soup the election will be decided.

Look up word default in section 5. You don't need 2/3 majority. Keep exposing your ineptitude ipob. Show me in section 5 where it says 2/3.

(5) In default of a candidate duly elected under subsection (4) of this section, the Independent National Electoral Commission shall within seven days of the result of the election held under that subsection, arrange for another election between the two candidates to which that sub-paragraph relates and a candidate at such election shall be deemed to have been duly elected to the office of a Governor of a State if he has a majority of the votes cast at the election.

Anyway u can continue with ur asslicking.its good for ur health.

Seems the OP does not know the meaning of accredited votes.
Accreditation occurs on election day.
It doesn't mean eligible voters.

For instance, there may be 2000 registered voters in a unit.
500 may decide to turn up and vote, they get accredited and later vote.

Decision is based on 500 voters not the 2000.


You boycott at your own peril
