Most of you lack sense......that was how you ignorant educated illiterates misinterpreted Buhari's 5% statement in the US in 2015 as Igbos being 5% of Nigeria's voters.......ignoramuses forming sophistication.



What INEC means is that out of 100% population of registered voters, only 3.29% came out to vote.


Just as Buhari's 5% meant that out of total 100% vote Buhari got, that just 5% came from the Southeast region to him......not that Southeast is 5% of total voters in Nigeria.


Even common sense ought to tell you that Igbos are even much more in number than Yorubas if not same. Every state you go in Nigeria, there is at least 5000 Igbo voters.......and Igbos alone make up at least 25 - 35% of total voters in Lagos alone.



Most of you just went to school and be looking at women's ikebe, no single brain angry angry
Igbos makes up to 100% Lagos population. In fact, na dem be Omo onile.

Ipob bureau of statistics with their mindless numbers. cheesy

It shows only one thing. People are tired of the political system of the nation. If am there. Believe you me. I won't vote. It's even risky standing on queue to vote. No motivation, nothing at all. You're not sure if your vote will count. If it does, the elected person will later turn against the people that voted them in. Tuaaah naija.

Who is to say that they will not use the supreme court to overturn the wish of the people, and because it is the supreme court we can't do anything about it.

We are the problem of ourselves. We have power to change things in our hands but we will not do it just because of some bad thoughts.

However I congratulate the winner and I also commend the people of Abia for standing against oppressor and family company which kalu is trying to turn APC to in Abia state. Very greed man.

Same way okorocha failed to imposes his brother in law on us in imo state.
Son in-law not brother in-law, and you make claims of being an Imolite.

People have been voting since 1960 and it got them no where. Nigeria is simply not workable

People are tired of voting. Its not voting that will anything in Nigeria, only a revolution will change things. We can only hope that it wont be a violent one
You're entirely wrong. A revolution will still end up installing Nigerians as rulers, someone must rule.

The problem of Nigeria is Nigerians. So our only solution will be colonialism or at best neocolonialism.

This is a not too good outcome from the people of Abia state and the East at large.

I am also from the East. But then, I would not support the idea of not coming out to make your vote count regardless of the failed political system we have in Nigeria.

If we must clinch this National power come 2023, I guess it is high time we change our orientation towards politics.

It is part of our fundamental right as Nigerian citizen to vote.

People are too busy pursuing money to care, while their state is being ruined before their eyes.

And it's just a microcosm of Nigeria as a whole. Apathy is part of us

in a country that the third runner up can be declared the winner out from the blue ?.... Everything is fundamentally wrong with Nigeria. even those that are votes for what do they do ? especially the senate... they don't do any project ... they are just rubber stamp for the presidency
That one still baffles me.
The Constitution gave INEC (and only INEC alone) the power to count votes.
Even if they counted nonsense, the best thing that the courts would have done is to request for a re-count of the ballots, or at worst, cancel the whole election and order for a fresh election.
I just can't fathom the reason why INEC didn't take that Imo State case serious, on the grounds that: “Supreme Court Did Their Job For Them and went ahead to count votes”.

It's the same INEC that has the sole powers to organise the Referendum.
And therefore, we're still expecting less than 5% turnout at the said Referendum because, in Igbo Land, we don't trust Nigeria and everything that has to do with Nigeria, therefore, we don't trust INEC too.

FBIBOT:


This is the reason why rigging is easy in Nigeria... Low turnouts and availability of blank ballot papers...... There is rigging everywhere even in advance countries but high turnouts and high valid votes makes the rigging invisible.... In Nigeria low turnouts and high number of invalid votes gives them more room to manipulate results
You're very correct.

You lie , you forget that there is a big insecurity in the country and it is a dangerous journey going to pulling unit to cast vote and if we go by your analysis politicians will hire thugs to destrupt the process , putting people's lives in dangerous situation , then when you here election is coming no body will advises you whether to go out and vote or not
So, the 3.29% that went there to cast their votes, they have all died??

The 96.71% that didn't turn out to vote are tired of a system that doesn't work.

Come to think of it, how have those who left more important things to vote fared? Yes, we are all in the same shithole.

That's what you get when people have lost hope in a dysfunctional system.
Please, is there any solution??

I don't know how you people are seeing the whole issue,for me not voting is not because am tired of the failed government or no conpetent candidate of my choice or the believe that my vote don't count in Nigeria political setting but rather, i saw one going out there to queue in the name of voting as one exposing his or her life to danger in the hand of those political thugs and hoodlums that can do undone to victimized their political opponent so as to rig election and i believed that most people that refused to go out there to cast their votes has the same fear as there's no security in the exercise.
And once they know that the button to press to get you off the Polling-units so that they can multiple-thumb-print your ballot paper is FEAR, they would employ the fear and win you over.!!

Have you ever asked yourself why rigging works in Nigeria??

It's because there are plenty of unused ballot papers (which the riggers at the Polling-units would use for their multiple thumb-printing).

And also, there are low voters turnouts (which the dubious Collation officers would easily convert to whichever value they want).

Had it been that the Voters Turnouts are huge, there won't be any room for rigging.
