COMPAQ:
He’s right actually. The literacy level plays a huge part in the elections in Nigeria. Do you notice that in areas where you have more literate people like the cities and townships, the choices made by the electorate are more sensible. That’s why you see Obi winning in Lekki, ikoyi etc.But once you go into the hinterland and villages, or illiterate parts of cities like shock, you find that the voting pattern is much more tribal.

Unfortunately this election has assumed a tribal nature. Atiku or Kankwaso in the North, Tinubu in the West and Obi in the east. Tinubu will pick some stares in the north due to some APC state governors and ditto Atiku in the west in Osun. Obi on the other hand may not pick any state in the north or West at all.

LeyeWrites:
Agreed. But a dog that dines with pig is what?

lansile:




But you said he would surely win before, what has happened? Is reality setting in?

Boyewu:
I'm very sure this will be the best result for Atiku in the entire South-west. Meanwhile Titi Atiku is from there

rolams:


He delivered all the 3 senatorial election ooo.

GeneralPula:


They sure did bro..

The votes Apc are getting are amazing..

LordAdam16:


It's the best. Tinubu won convincingly in Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, and Ekiti, although Atiku got 25% from all 4 states.

I expect Tinubu to win in Lagos as well. Labor will get their best outing in the SW here.

This one that Tinubu camp hurriedly released results in their stronghold.

Atiku and Obi are still sitting on theirs.

It is kind of the fault of our education system and the way the economy is set up

Educated people leave the villages and head out into the cities to look for work and other opportunitues. This leaves those who cannot leave because they are not educated enough.

The main parties build their structures and their support on the people left behind. And since these are the people that the villagers see...not the educated man in the city that may come home once in a year or sometimes in years....they win elections for their main parties.

I don't like it when people call them illiterates for voting APC and PDP.(I reiterate that that is a mistake...something that the Democrats learned the hard way in 2015, and even still make, and something seen to some extent in the UK). APC and PDP are sadly the only parties that at least give a damm. LP? Lord knows I used to live in the North. LP is not to be seen anywhere in the rural areas. If LP at least did some mobilization and came with some ideas that suit the rural areas, or even some of the educated people came home and ran for councillor, and suchlike, or even engaged in local activisim so that people could eventually see that APC and PDP are fake parties who just want power...maybe things might change. But it is hard work, and most of us educated people ain't got time.

LP is also not above using tribe and religion to to woo voters...plus a lot of the educated vote for all three parties on tribal and religious grounds.

At the end, politics in Nigeria is not about issues. I don't consider Atiku, Tinubu or Obi have anything new for Nigerians. At the end, they would just do what has been done year in, year out;;;;over subsidise, take loans to cover the deficit, find jobs for the boys and girls, and the rest of us will complain and grumble as we always do about 'corruption' and look for the next 'hero'.

If you're going to call people illiterate, be literate enough to know how to spell it so we don't end up considering you illiterate yourself.
