Nigerian elections have always been "the battle of the best rigger". Every party is involved in rigging, na who rig pass na him get mouth.

Buhari is a religion in the north, followership is not hinged on money, rather strong religious beliefs rooted in core cultural values. At this time, I don't think there is any politician in the entire country popular enough to defeat Buhari in a national election. Discrediting his performance, government or persona to sell votes will only work in the south and not the north especially the core north who have the numbers.

I will tell you this, the results of this election have empowered Buhari to become the most powerful power block that is bigger than Obasanjo and Tinubu after 2023. Tinubu could not salvage the PDP onslaught in the South, including his South West but Buhari dominated the core North for the 2nd time, this time against a fellow Fulani. If Buhari chooses to become a godfather after his tenure which is not in his nature, Tinubu and others would have to give up the machinery of the party if they want to remain in the winning party. After his tenure is over and ensuring APC succeeds him, I see Buhari going back to Daura to continue his modest life and away from the bright lights of politics.

If he chooses otherwise? then others should just pack their bags or they would be relegated to the doldrums of the party.
This is why I called Buhari a one man MOPOL. Where was the Kwankwaso when Buhari was singlehandedly pulling millions in the NE/NW region with CPC and ANPP. Their loyalty to him is unalloyed. However votes from the NE/NW will never be enough to win Nigerian elections this is why the idea that any party can plug and play any Northerner and he will win by default is sadly mistaken

I think beyond Buhari's popularity the PDP are also reaping the fruits of their bad governance from 1999-2015 at the Federal Level which in turn affected the number of states they controlled at state level. Especially in the North Central which Atiku should have won by more convincing margins.

This is why the APC need to be very careful! If they don't deliver this can very well be their fate in 2023 and at that point it wouldn't matter who the opposition present.

Buhari is not a one man mopol... The rigging machinery of the southern bloc is what he's riding on this time around.
Lool. Which of these two parties aren't rigging? Abeg leave story for Jimi Solanke. Atiku won with less than 35k votes in his own state. His STATE!

Most SW people don't trust Atiku and the only reason he unconvincingly won some states there was due to the terrible performances of APC Governors. The two states that would have made a difference for either candidate (Lagos, Ogun) their residents no comot come vote so what next?

If a Northerner is on the ticket of the 2 major party it will be hard for him to lose but I think the Northerners will chill for 2023.

And let the South slug it out. Wike will be a good choice for PDP

PDP have to realize that their Southern strenght is in the SS and only when they get a SS man on the ticket can they get good numbers

Logically I will say PDP should give Wike or Duke the ticket, SE will never vote APC regardless so You get 2 regions APC and PDP

But knowing them, they will probably give the SE and the SS will stay aloof again like this one or even worse
Nigeria is still divided as hell. I strongly doubt any region would allow the other to rule 16 years uninterrupted. This is why I believe anyone fielding a Northern candidate for the next election would fail pretty badly

I agree and bear in mind that PDP's only ticket to relevance was the SS/SE axis. But for those states PDP as a party would have faded to extinction. They would be phoolish to not insist on their rights this time.

The SE have endured some marginalisation too but that is mostly as a result of their political miscalculations and bad alliances. They aligned with PDP for the longest time but were never carried along at Federal level.

Make we dey look. The last 2 elections show most of the votes are up North. And Almajiri no dey like to vote Southern candidate, so if Dem want win, they have to go to the North. That zoning shït only applies to a one party state. Once you have a 2 party system, it's about which party can outdo the other, and the best way to ensure that is to field Northern candidate against Southern opposition. I think Wike is likely to win PDP ticket. If APC field Yoruba man, a 3rd party will emerge for a Northern candidate.
It goes beyond just numbers and is more about the personalities contesting. Else why is the gap between Buhari and Atiku so wide?

I guarantee you whoever they field will not get Buhari's numbers in the north for starters. Secondly no election can be won without assistance from the Southern part of the country so forget the almajiri side. Any candidate the North fields will get zero cooperation from the Southern part of the country

Buhari is the most popular candidate the North ever presented and he lost twice to OBJ and GEJ. Whoever presents another Northerner in 2023 would lose badly

I think the fact that two Fulani men competing also played a role in voter apathy from that region. A Kwankwaso cannot pull the crowd Buhari pulled. Forget those frauds! This election has showed that Buhari is a one man MOPOL. And if Buhari could lose an election to a Southerner then the others don't have a prayer

You're joking right? Tinubu that purportedly wanted VP slot in 2015?

APC will never field Osinbajo in 2015. Otherwise PDP will trump them with a Northern Muslim candidate. Those almajiris up North don't care about your zoning arrangement.

Someone who.is both Buhari and Tinubus boy and who ticks the same "northern" and "integrity" credentials, and is.also sellable to the South is Ribadu. He is the one Buhari will likely handpick, and he is already a Tinubu boy and acceptable to Western structure having run for ACN in 2011.
APC will not field Northern candidate in 2023. Unless you want the party to scatter! PDP will also return to South else the party will scatter as well.

He really posted this. LeBron grin grin grin grin
I don't think any self respecting Basketballer who doesn't want to be or isn't a lackey would want to play with LeBron. When KD said it it sounded like he was hating whereas he was just spitting facts.

He's all about his stats and individual accolades at this point. If your team wins he would get all the glory, if they lose you would get all the blame. There is zero incentive to playing with LeNomad

grin grin grin grin And they were even seeing themselves in the playoffs automatically. Take Lebron out of that team and add a healthy Kawhi, they'll be at the lowest 5th on the standings. But now we can see how much help their goat had in Cleveland, it's always someone else's fault. Now em' don humble baba for west grin grin grin grin
Lmaooo I told overconfident LeNomad fans that the Western Conference is a different animal. Even hopeless teams like the Grizzlies and Pelicans without Anthony Davis would go out of their way to make sure the Lakers don't make the playoffs

The Finals record stans and fanboys like Nick Wright would finally be able to shut up about Kobe missing the playoffs even though he had a much weaker roster.

I also don't want to even hear anything about LeBron's injury either. They are 4-7 since he returned. Losing to the Pacers sans Oladipo, Grizzlies sans Gasol, Jackson Jr, Pelicans sans Anthony Davis. So in total the Lakers are 23-20 with him which is hardly exceptional

Where is BarthramLeStat? He must have seen the future.

That was the problem. All these APC SW governors that were supported to power by Tinubu, once they got there, they started trying to be godfathers on their own. They think by whipping up sentiments that they are against Tinubu their problems will be solved. while neglecting the grassroot

Akeredolu made it his agenda to fight Tinubu at all level, He was the one who supported Oyegun and argued Oyeguns case while Osinbajo argued Oshiomoles case

In theOndo APC primaries, Akeredolu selected 2 APC senate candidates loyal to him, he wanted to replace Borrofice because Borrofice was for Tinubu. Imagine AKeredolu was writing APC national to cancel Borrofice nomination and accept the other 2 nominations he made in other places

As it turned out Borrofice was the only APC senator that won

Akeredolu forgot that he had no grassroot support and it was actually Tinubu who brought him out in 2012 and sponsored him against Mimiko

No wahala Ondo guber election in next year and as long as Oshiomole and Tinubu are there, they will work against his second term
My people are from Ondo. Na pankere they will use to chase Akeredolu away. He is making Mimiko look like Obama

These guys have been put in a very difficult situation by a phocking Spanish plonker. They are professional footballers and they understand that team spirit must not break; especially not at that crucial time. The drama had already unfolded. It would be less of drama to ask Sarri to stay calm and sort stuff out later, than it would have been if everyone had intervened and forced a £72m club asset off the pitch.

Stupid Kepa should have seen with seconds that he was putting his teammates in a difficult position. I do not bloody care what may be going on behind the scenes, but there is no excuse for what he did. If I owned the club, I will terminate his contract tonight. Even ex-pros that have been in very divisive dressing rooms are all saying they have never seen that.

He also, as a professional, should have seen that he was setting himself up for a great fall. Once he did that, he needed to save all 5 penalty kicks. And then he needed to score 3 himself, to remotely stand a chance of putting himself in a position to atone for 30% of the sh1t that unfolded today. I do not bloody care, even if the most incompetent manager was managing the team, you cannot humiliate a manager like that in public. He even had another chance to correct his mistake. He could have gone to the manager at full-time, in front of the cameras, substituted himself without condition, and asked Caba to replace him for the penalties. Only then can he come now and claim that it was all mistaken. It would have been believable.

But now, he crossed the line. He is a phocking fool and down-right insane person, to even think that he could provide a genuine explanation for that moment of madness, and utter disrespect to Manager, Club, club image and fans.

Today was the day people should have been praising the manager for listening, playing conservative against City, making intelligent substitutions and nearly winning the game in the process. Instead, this goat stole the glory.


I really hope Roman gets involved in this directly, and give the order to terminate this guy's contract tonight, citing insubordination and bringing the club's image to disrepute.

Phocking Nitwit!
Honestly if Kepa is not benched at least 3 games and fined a month's wages Chelsea should not be taken seriously as a football club. This is bush league stuff

It speaks to the rot and just a sheer lack of a chain of command at the club. You can't get away with undermining your boss like that in any other field of endeavor. The attempt at papering the cracks by both parties at the end of game just speaks to the laughable state of Chelsea right now

Even Christian Chukwu does not deserve this disgraceful behavior by Kepa today

And on le'veon bell, do you really blame the guy? He's looking to get paid in a position that has a short shelf life. It was extreme, but really? You franchise tag the guy and use him for the work horse that he is. More mileage on the body..he almost always has the most carries in the league. Good for him on taking a stand...more power to players controlling their destiny
I don't blame Bell for anything, same way I don't blame the Steelers for not betting on a guy who has been suspended TWICE and is also injury prone. The franchise tag is essentially about buying time till you can settle on a deal.

Of all skill positions you must know that the Running Back is the easiest to replace that is why James Conner came in and easily matched his numbers. That's why CJ Anderson came off the street to match Todd Gurley's production. Successful teams never overpay the Running Back

Am off topic here. Did you know Hines was very critical of ben and even mike Tomlin?
Hines didn't say what everyone else hasn't said which is Big Ben shouldn't have criticized Antonio Brown on live radio but I heard those comments he made. Those comments are not justifiable reason for his subsequent actions. Skipping meetings, skipping on the team and having your agent call Mike Tomlin on game day?

Biko let that TO 2.0 leave the Steelers and go with his baggage. Of all the actors in this film only he and Bell are the ones without Superbowls

Btw did you hear what LeBron said about his Lakers teammates? Yet LeBron stans are defending him. He questioned his fellow professionals dedication to the game of basketball. That is far worse than anything Big Ben did.

. I think we have all established the fact that ab is sick in the head right? Right! What am saying is that big Ben contributes to the dysfunction in that locker room. Like a whole lot. The open criticism of drafting Mason Rudolph comes to mind and a lot of things that we have been hearing. The Messiah complex is at work in him.. that ain't no leader to me. And u(franchise) putting all your chips on a soon to be 37 year old qb is unwise...
But others have played with Big Ben without complaint. Hines Ward, Jerome Bettis, Santonio Holmes, Heath Miller. Why is it only Antonio Brown that is having issues? There was no dysfunction till guys like Bell and AB became stars in the team.

If someone was coming to a team to take your job I doubt you would be smiling about it. Even Brady was not smiling when Belichick was grooming Garoppolo to replace him. That was quickly resolved because Brady had direct line to Robert Kraft

American football might be a team sport but the Quarterback is the most important position. I daresay you would need a Messiah complex to succeed at what you do whether humble or overstated. Like I said earlier no team would side with a diva receiver over a QB that has brought 2 Superbowls. Even the Giants are still loyal to Eli Manning who has been useless for 4 seasons never mind a Big Ben who is still producing

First and foremost what did Big Ben criticize? A play! Not his work ethic, not his professionalism when he was having issues with the team, and as far as I know it's the first time he ever said something publicly. There is nothing Big Ben has said that justifies this rubbish behavior from Antonio Brown. It's one thing to want to leave it's another thing to do everything in your power to try and drag down your trade value to a team that chose you over guys like Sanders and Mike Wallace and paid him twice!!
