That’s why o laughed uncontrollably when some people come online to beat there chest that Buhari must return To daura

It’s not by chest beating

It’s by voting strength

In democracy the majority have it all

Those numbers show why some regions are important and some are insignificant.

Any smart politicians will rather go for a region of 14m votes than the region of 7m

Your kite will lose air when you realise that about 70% of Lagos votes are non-Yorubas. A realistic analysis would be to exclude FCT and Lagos from the ethnically created Zones.

1 if the total of the south east is that figure

You want to tell me that you are the majority in our land

That’s delusional to think such

Then you should have installed your people for the kingship of Lagos

You should have been the governor of Lagos

I swear some of you people will never learn

Keep laying a solid foundation for rigging.
What about multiple PVC in Kano?

70% of Lagos is non yoruba yet all governors of Lagos have always been yoruba, all deputy governors, senators, etc. Have always been yorubas maybe those 700% are actually useless electorally

The day Yorubas in Anambra do headcount and discover we are 50% of total population, we will sack your Obi and his Igwes and install Karimu as your Oba. From that day forward girls will earn rights of inheritance and osu will be free to own land. It will no longer be permissible to eat human meat anywhere in Anambra.

Fvck yall! You own 70% population of Lagos and you are locked out of your shops indiscriminately...

Whoever told you I am an Easterner? Nigeria has about 520 dialects and about 300 tribes and peoples. Ibo/Igbo is just one tribe.
Lagos is a diversely populated State my friend. That other Nigerians have not taken interest in this should not boost your bloated ego.

So if SE is so insignificant why is that that APC have been begging them for votes using every blackmail they can think of to decieve them into supporting that worthless party?

You have to be extremely stupid to think only SE wants Buhari out? How much buffonry are you APC rats. Of all the people repeatedly attacking APC on the media are usually a mix of all tribe but No, to you tribalistic, backwards ass party the only names you tribalistic ass, hateful ass filled party deluding yourselves as "patrotic" sees are igbo names.


Oh and let's not forget how much of a contradicting dumbass*** una are. Aren't you the same fools constantly narrating to us how Igbos are all over that your Southwest region yet you're the same fools using a figure that includes the same Igbos living in that your region as justification of where votes go. Seriously how brain dead are you people? Do you lots ever use your damn brains or are you born without ones? Stop repeatedly contradicting yourselves. You all sound extremely stupid with each post.

Oh while I'm at it, the fact only mere 6,334,707 difference between SE and SW says alot.

My friend, ancestral thrones are respected for what they are . ancestral and that is all there is to it. World over, it is so. For example aboriginal tribes of The Mi'kmaq. The Maliseet, The Innu or Montagnais-Naskapi Indians, The Inuit, Métis and Non-Status Indians retain their ancestral thrones. This does not make them larger or egoistic as 'Omo nile' we have down here in Nigeria. Things are changing fast my friend. The world is moving fast. Ethnic politics is dieing world over. At the rate you are selling your land and moving to Ogun and Oyo, soon you realise Lagos is owned by visitors or those you term 'Land Grabbers". Kiss the truth!!!

SS, SE, most NC and the Ijaws, Ibos and other groups living in SW votes. What makes you think Buhari will win? You're not even confident he'll get all of yoruba votes. The last election, almost half of Yoruba voted against him. All this attempt to force ibos to vote for Buhari is getting desperate. They said no, leave them alone. They don't want or support the lifeless one like any sane person.

This is the much reason why, no Presidential candidate takes them serious. They only gave Buhari 5% votes in 2015 yet, Buhari won the election.
Na so so mouth them get, the only region with the lowest electoral value.

Yimu. Dey dia dey deceive yourself. Talk is cheap. Lagos will always have a Yoruba majority thanks to its geographical location (completely surrounded by another Yoruba territory of Ogun, which is also bordered by another Yoruba territory, Ondo). There will never be a short supply of Yorubas from surrounding territories to perpetually ensure and guarantee that its dominant ethnic integrity is protected, never -- the Yoruba language and culture has demonstrated over time that it is just too stubborn and resilient to be displaced by foreigners ( not even slavery could wipe it out).

Secondly, for as long as Yorubas continue to hold the political and administrative control of the state (it's not by mistake that they have both the ruling APC and opposition PDP leaderships in their pockets), its Yoruba character and dominance will remain intact. E.g, In Dubai, Foreigners outnumber natives by 3-1 ratio yet they know their limitations while the city is still essentially Islamic/Arab in character (they don't even interfere in the territory's politics, even though they are landowners). It would be much easier for foreigners to displace the Emiratis than for non-Yorubas to displace Yorubas from Lagos. But hey, it's not a crime to dream.

raumdeuter:

Lol. Leave them make dem dey deceive diasef. Bottomline remains that the non-Yorubas in Lagos are merely pawns in the hands of the Omoluabis for the purpose of realizing their political objectives, irrespective of the political party involved. For as long as neither the ruling APC nor PDP are controlled by the non-Omoluabis, either way they choose to vote (be it for APC or PDP), na the same Yoruba interest naa ni. i.e Yoruba leadership in PDP will use their votes in the state to realize their own political objectives, while the APC will also do the same.

Until they can influence or succeed in seizing control of the party leaderships of either or both of the ruling or major opposition parties in the state, they will remain tools in the hands of the Omoluabis to further their Yoru-centric interests for Lagos coz last last, na Yoruba men both parties go present as party leaders, governors, and deputy governors for the state. That is all their votes are good for in Lagos -- electing Yoruba leaders.

Did you consider the total numbers of the non indigenes PDP in Lagos? plus the total numbers of indigenes in PDP.

The kind of analysis you see online when an illiterate in chief ( Buhari ) employs younger illiterates to oversea his media trash online. The fools up there won't even reckon for once that there are igbos in the said Lagos. There are also middlebelters of which we have seen there, series of protests against Buhari and his marauding Fulani murderers and also people from south south. Very importantly also are genuine Yorubas , both Muslims and Christians who would do everything to see Buhari out of aso Rock. From the analysis of these heartless few you would think any aspirant in time past has ever hit 70% votes from Lagos state , safe for mko who got much more than that...

Boy, stop deceiving yourself inugo? Igbos have the single largest voters of all ethnic groups!! When you add the 8 million Igbo voters in SE with the 3 million Igbo voters in Lagos and other SW states plus 5 million Igbo voters in SE it will give you a total of 16 million Igbo voters in the South alone!!! By the time you add the Igbo voters in FCT, Kaduna, Kano, Jos etc in the North then you will discover that Igbos have well over 20 million voters spread across the country!!! Which ethnic group has up to that?? Continue consoling yourself but remember that this is digital age and Igbos are well educated and enlightened do unlike before when we usually vote independently, today Igbos vote en bloc to any person or party they believe will protect their interest. Except Igbos outside Igboland won't be allowed to vote which is not possible then using SE number of voters alone to base your argument is infantile, unintelligent and pedestrian
Igbos gallant my brother

Igbo people with Lagos comments on NL is getting out of hand. You are the only tribe that gives yoruba headache over their land. But I want you guys to know that this present yoruba generation that will lead yoruba race will not accommodate you guys like our father and fore father's did. Igbo continue with claiming Lagos with yoruba but put that in mind that coming yoruba leaders are the you see on media and the are aware of what you guys are doing. Don't say yoruba are tribalistic. It will happen but in a matter of time. Fact ����������

You people are only deceiving yourselves by throwing up regional figures, which people have 14 or 7 million voters? The reality is that Igbos have the single largest voting block!! With 8 million voters in the SE plus 5 million voters in the SS (Igbo residents and indigenes) pus 3 million in the SW, Igbos have a total of not less than 16 million voters in the South alone!!! By the time you add Igbo voters in the North then you will discover that Igbos are the largest voting block in Nigeria!!! Times are past when we used to fragment our voting, we now vote en bloc and any candidate or party we decide to support will automatically get the 25 across states with a total tally that should give him a headstart on the total votes!! It's myopic and mischievous when you guys keep trumpeting number of voters based on regional figures, that doesn't make sense at all unless you are saying that Igbos outside the SE won't vote. The singular reason why the SW votes always seem to be divided is because of large Igbo presence that always neutralizes yoruba votes there!!
Lol, the joke is actually on you guys but I know within you all, the truth is glaring to you all but you will still come out in the open and try to change the narrative to suit what you want to believe even when it flies in the face of sound logic and reasoning
