Please...with this your see through juvenile instigation


Nigeria is fighting mighty hard to keep those 5 percenters. There seems to be a disconnect between action n words.

Calling a beautiful babe ugly hoping to hurt her feelings doesn't work guy. Why? Because she already knows what she is.

Don't let that go over ya coconut head
Re: The 3.29% Turnout At The Aba North/south Bye-election Is Worrisome by Sonyboom: 5:04pm On Mar 29, 2021
The reason is glaring to all.
Foolish ig os from Aba will rather leave their destiny in the hands of criminals like Ikpeazu n Theodore Orji to keep wailing like the lunatic they are over Lagos Yoruba n Tinubu affairs.


BluntCrazeMan:
In the Just-concluded Aba North and Aba South Federal Constituency Bye-election, out of the registered 496,628 number of voters in the Constituency, only 16,335 were accredited, constituting only 3.29% turnout of the whole number of registered voters in the Constituency.

With this, it just means that, even if the voters turnout is just 0.003% (or something like 35 people out of 759,456 registered voters), INEC will still declare their results like that.

It is really worrisome.

What was the reason for the Low Voters Turnout?

Was it Voter-apathy?
Or were they Boycotting as usual?

(This is a very bitter message to Boycotters.
No matter the boycotting, even if One Single Person Came out to vote, his vote will count, and whoever he voted for would win).

This happens when a senatorial district is populated by lunatic fixated on Lagos instead fixing their wretched land.

BluntCrazeMan:
Now, only 3.29% of the whole population chose someone for the whole people, and the whole remaining 96.71% of people will have to watch and look as things go bad (or good if they are lucky).

The answer to your question is the reason why Igbos are agitating for their own nation where they will be in charge of their leaders.........corrupt Northern politicians occupying Federal government of Nigeria always make sure the most corrupt Igbo politicians emerge winners in the Southeast......a clear example happened in 2019 general election, Imo state people elected their choice Governor Emeka Ihedioha, Fulani corrupt federal government used Supreme court to upturn Imo people's choice and installed a known fraudster Hope Uzodinma as Imo Governor who is now busy destroying Imo state.




Igbos have suffered so much marginalization in the hands of Hausa-Fulani and their Yoruba backstabbing collaborators since the end of the civil war in 1969.


You guys know the truth, but wickedness and selfishness will never let you guys confess to the truth, and that's why nature will handle you guys with time, just time.
Is it northerners that rigged in ebisike,abaribe or Ta orji?

We still have a long way to go with regards to election credibility and acceptability in this country, why will just 3.2% of eligible voters cast votes and INEC declare a candidate victorious. There should be a minimum voters turnout to declare a winner in an election.
True.I think the minimum turnout should be 25%

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”.

Oga,the law in that case did not allow for a recount or a fresh election.a recount could have been called for if the results or votes were null or voided or if inec provided result sheets.only apc provided result sheets,inec refused to provide their own and therefore according to law,that of apc will stand in the absence of contrary results.the courts got it right albeit controversially.

Inec job is subject to the courts.the courts have the final say

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

What if the third runner up was actually the winner but was cheated! This present senate is the best

Oga,the constitution gave the courts the powers to scrutinize or supervise inec which includes recounting of votes.this is not the first time the courts are doing this.it happened in edo 2008,ondo2008,osun 2010,ekiti 2010 etc....all inec decisions are subject to judicial review.read the electoral act...

Elections can only be cancelled if there constitutional two third requirement wasnt met or if there was massive violence,rigging or over voting which wasnt the case.moreover,the apc candidate never requested for a cancellation or recount....he claimed that his votes were under recorded or wrongfully collated and that most of his votes were not recorded and he provided evidences which inec and pdp couldn't controvert...

Even if it was 1% vote cast, my joy is that APC has been defeated. How could one be in Senate and expect people to vote for his kid bro to be in the House of Representatives? Is his family the only one qualified for leadership?

Nigeria security and legal issues are weak. As a citizen that wants to survive the current state of the country, e-voting is all I can ask for.

Not really my expectation. Every eligible person in dis country by now should have been identified with a special unique no. and must be the ones only allowed to vote by any means possible especially, through electronics means like internet enabled or any other means possible. Because of the insecurity ravaging the nation, eligible voters should be protected by all means necessary.
