Monitoring events as they unfold, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) noted that “the problem of underage voting was widely observed in many polling units in Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Plateau, Nasarawa and Taraba states. In Gombe State in particular, it was reported that irate youths attempted to lynch the Resident Electoral Commissioner and some journalists present who tried to intervene. Source: Vanguard

This shows that the Northern population is dwindling. They hired thousands of underage almajiris yet they couldn't match the mammoth population in the South.

Yet they are making noise.

They are the only people who have the right to cheat and are born to RULE.

Hahahah! Southerners should also be demonstrating against this blatant under-aged voting, no?

There is no dwindling here.
The north never have the population in the first place. When real, accurate, and scientific census is taken, you'll understand why populations naturally thin out as you approach the desert.
In Nigeria, au contraraire, as you approach the desert states of Kano, Katsina, Gombe populations double and triple those of the forest Edo, and Imo states
True democracy will expose all these lies, and that's another reason for their riots.

Coupled with the fact that they migrate and never go back unlike Igbos who migrate and still keep in touch with their homeland. An hausa man born and bred in Aba will identify himself as a Northerner but will never relocate to the North. If he stays in Aba for example for over 30 years, he becomes Dan Aba; if he lives in Ibadan for over 30 years, he becomes Dan-Ibadan and so on. All those DanSokoto, DanJos, DanKano , Dan Benin, you hear are just migrants.

I hear you, but that's not always the case. I know 2 Hausa families in Enugu who still maintain the links to their ancestral Kano. The difference was that unlike the Igbos, the Hausas had no restrictions of worship, business, or social lives in Enugu.

Has it occurred to you people that the underage voters above were organized by the PDP and that those underaged folks were the ones responsible for the unbelievable showing of Jonathan in places from Adamawa to Sokoto?

Wasn't madam goodluck seen chanting Umblerra in those places?  grin

I know this is so ridiculous!

I mean what kind of a government allows underaged children and kids to vote in the elections. . .

Only in Nigeria can one see this happen.
