lol don't mind op, either of the candidate winning US election will not affect a thing in naija. Infact the more things changes, the more they remain the same. It really annoys me when I see Nigerians analysing a sane country election.

They should be more concerned about their very sick disgusting country. Look at Biden with 70m votes, in an atmosphere free of ballot snatching or widespread electoral violence and malpractice. Same cannot be said of naija.

Far from truth Electoral college goes with population of state, if Nigeria operate Electoral college Kano and Lagos will always determine who win the Election. The political riggers will concetrate on that two state.

What Nigeria needs is the UN veto votes pattern. In this a graduate vote should be equated to 10000 illiterate votes. By so doing, you can undo Kano.

You cannot get that with this Nigerian system, the 1999 constitution is our biggest problem and it was from the military.
They gave more power to North West and they are using that to hold Nigeria hostage.

How was more power given to the North West?

The dominance of Arewa is simply due to her unity which enables her take formidable political positions. The day the NW & NE stop being united (like the SW & SE) will be the end of Northern overriding influence and that day is never coming.

Here is what you don't understand.

The North West have 7 States with 21 senators etc. Highest in the country.


The South East have 5 States with 15 senators. The lowest in the country.

How Can Southern Nigerians make change?

Population indicate much of what electoral college a state would get.

But electoral college system is archaic and outdated
With time Americans would throw it away.

Bros if this is not corrected we will continue to get it wrong. I know it cant be done but I tried to pick out a fundamental reason why we will never get it.

That is.....

The number of electoral college votes is proportional to the population of that State. It wouldn't change a thing.

Until, we have a proper Population Census, we cannot begin to talk about Electoral College Votes.

The educated North will vote in line with educated Nigerians and in that case we will all vote someone that we all embrace the winner no matter where he comes from. We will no longer vote because he is Muslims or Christians. Neither would we vote because he is north or south.
