Is there anything wrong in people casting a block vote someone they supported? Buhari concentrated his effort in the northern votes. He breezed through the southern ones knowing very well that he had no foot soldiers or structure esp in the SS/SE.
To make matters worse he visited most of the SE states towards the end of his campaign making the people believe they were an after thought. How do you expect such people who already have misgivings towards him not cast votes against him after such a treatment?

About the North, do not forget that the PDP have governors in the North and have structures on ground. The gov of Katsina state is GEJ campaign coordinator for instance so it is not out of place that the PDP amassed reasonable number of votes there. .


There is nothing wrong in those figures. You needed to have spoken with anyone in the SE to have understood the mood.

Beaf:
The election has been done and dusted. GET OVER IT!

We know those that didn't vote GEJ and are BITTER. See dem:

The Returning Officer, who spoke on the circumstances that led to the cancellation of the election in the area, explained that agents of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Accord Party, AP, forced him to announce the Accord Party candidate as winner in the election characterized by irregularities penultimate Saturday

.
Did you read the link?
This has nothing to do with the presidential election in my opinion.

How could a PDP agent force him to announce an accord party candidate a winner?
BTW the result was cancelled according to the write up. So what's you grouse?

goggs:
I agree with u 1000% buhari didnt seem to care about the southeast and south south. he should have concentrated their, meet ohaneze,make concessions, massage their ego, sell himself as a pan nationalist. Maybe adopt an Igbo middle name (chinedu will do just fine). Politics is all about give and take, and convincing your opponents that you care about them genuinely

Sanusi advised him not to contest based on the fact that he does not understand give and take in democracy.
Because he refused to make concession to ACN, that was why the alliance failed.
He insisted on his party being the platform and as well producing the president and vice. So selfish in my opinion.

goggs:
Since this has become more of na ma broda in faith, tongue or region, Taraba, Benue, Plateau are states in the North likely to go to Jonathan.

With wat I am seeing Jonathan doesn't even need the results from these states to win

The results from Benue, plateau and Kogi have are already known and GEJ have them under his belt.

The only result not known to anyone last time I checked is Taraba!

Sweet T:
They are adding up all the SE numbers so they know how much it will take to put Buhari over the top. Boy o boy, Ibo people has shown the north Pepper over the jos attack. Payback is a mother4cker!.

Even if they give all the votes in taraba for BB, it won't change nada.
But considering that BB won only in sharia practsising states, a state that had a Rev as a gov may not lean towards him.

And BTW, Buhari did not do much in the south which was a wrong calculation. He has the core north in his boxer pocket I wonder why most of his parties were there.

Do you know how many times Goodluck went to Lagos?

SU2011:
I saw this on BB fan page and i couldnt stop laughing.

"Gen deserve rest. i think he shd render his service to the country in another way, however, i stand on my point that pastor didnt do much beside talking. no effect in his home town Abeokuta. i work there'

I asked that question after the NASS election. What was the point of choosing someone without political infuluence jsut because of religious reason.

The same mistake MCcain made

what is holding Taraba's result?

ayinba1:
Stick to the topic. There are other threads celebrating GEJs win. Again, a people deserve the leaders they elect. But the people who voted BB definitely do not deserve GEJ.

Team BB. Chin up. We came together regardless of our differences. Yes, I am sad at the way things turned out because I really hoped and prayed for a better Nigeria.

Jobless graduates! No university admission after high school! lack of basic infrastructures! It may have taken 1-2 yrs to see changes with BB, but as it is now, Hmmmnnnnn,  

I wait and watch.

6 new federal universities would help in that direction.  Don't worry GEJ will not disappoint you.
Do not forget that Nigeria belongs to us and we should all join hand together putting our differences behind to make a difference.

Long Live the Integrity group (minus BB)

goggs:
One of the reasons Buhari lost alot of votes is that many non muslims especially in the North (minorities) see him as a leader of the faith. having suffered a great deal from intolerant and violent people masquerading as muslims, many minorities in the north are fearful of him even though he represents the squeaky clean leader they crave for.

Tried as i could, i couldnt get many of my folks to vote Buhari. I, unfortunately, felt bad when some hausa boys in my polling unit in Kubwa, Abuja were talking tough and making it sound as though the voting (for CPC) was war against non muslims. I really, really felt bad. Then I got two text messages forwarded urging a vote for CPC representing as a duty for muslims. that was the straw that broke the camels back. I promptly thumb printed for Ribadu (ACN).

I felt bad afterwards. I should have still voted Buhari and not be swayed by such childish sentiments. Only God knows how many of us faced this dilemma and capitulated.

We may have lost the best man due to these factors. Anyway, any man Nigerians choose as president will be my president and will join any lawful action(s) to make the nation move forward and  also make him accountable to us

Aww good man

you are a cheeky fellow, i sense an air of gloating  . Condolences to GenB (I guess thats who you're  refering to as Gen peanut) not sure who 30 day shred is, (all this coding gan!) pele o! lol

I am so innocent. I do not gloat at all. The man of God preached against it today.
By the way your guess is as good as mine but I don't believe you do not know baroness 30dayshred. Come on. E no go commot for my mouth

Well done my friends. Bless you all.

ziccoit:
Stop telling lies. S[b]top misrepresentation of facts. Stop religious bigotry. Stop sectionalism. Stop fueling ethnic enmity. [/b]We don't need this type of sand brain in the new Nigeria. I don't know where you are from. It is obvious you don't know anything. Don't say what you don't know. The first law of politics as well as fundamental human survival is "if you don't know the game, don't play"

All these from you ziccoit? Today is surely Sunday.

Thats surely sweeter

Happy sunday my people.

My log

7km running
70 bicycle crunches
60 seated oblique twist
20 push ups lazy sunday


Well done babs and Hour G

Some people are afraid of starting some procedure that does not kill. HG I am not talking to you anyway but there is no point postponing the evil day.

All

I think it should not border you when the weight refuses to move down further. It is better it goes down gradually and you are able to maintain it than rush it down and gain it back. Continuity my friends! keep at it bu do not forget to increase your challenges a little at a time.

[size=20pt]BTW can someone extend my sincere sympathy to General peanut and baroness 30dayshred. Losing is not easy

Look guys I am not being sarcastic here. Win or lose you guys won. I love the spirit. I enjoyed the cooperation. I will advise you to keep this group together.

The labours of our heroes shall not be in vain
Well done guys.

Sweet T:
I mean seriously?? C'mmon! How in the hell did PDP get 1 million votes in Abia and Anambra states? You mean to tell me that an Ibo man will leave his Okrika  clothes and fake goods shop to go line up for hours just to vote? Hard for me to believe that, unless an Ibo man he's being compensated for it i don't believe it. And by the way there are not up to 1 million adult age Ibo guys left in all of East combined, they have all relocated to Lagos to sell Okrika clothes and fake goods. INEC c'mmon, let's be real here.

This is the problem we have in Nigeria that is worse than corruption.

beeke:
Buhari started rehearsals for that show of shame since last two months so am not surprise at all

Buhari reduced himself to a tout just to get a sympathy vote but he is in for a rude awakening

85percents of Nigerians dont want any military man either on uniform or baba riga

say no to ex military man they are all wolves in sheep clothing OBJ is a case study

He should have reserved the tears for today!

^ I agree with you!

[quote author=prof.femi link=topic=647931.msg8147925#msg8147925 date=1303053180]I have to say that reading this thread has been very entertaining. Despite what some of you think, most people here seem to be well-informed. Some just seem to allow their strong views about the issue get the best of them.  

A point needs to be made though. What if I told you that TODAY, the biggest problem Nigeria faces is not power or education or whatever. Its the real risk that we will ALLOW ourselves to become so hopelessly polarized that no one can ever rule us effectively.

Believe me, every one of the major candidates has strengths along with scary weaknesses. It is true that the basis for some people's votes are questionable (ethnicity? religion?) but its also true that it is their vote! We also hear all sorts of stories about rigging and under-aged voting.

Was the process perfect? Certainly NOT. But has it generally been okay? Come on! you've got to agree that there are really few surprises so far.

Anyway, to get BACK on point: WHOEVER wins this elections, lets all get behind him. I promised myself this very early. The truth is, none of them can do it unless he has our true support. Whether we agree with others on whether they rigged or voted "rightly" or whatever or not, lets realize that the true test is not how well or logically we can vote, but how well much we love our country; how united we are ready to be.

With so many smart and energetic Nigerians in this house (and elsewhere in the country), it is insulting to believe that the change we want can only happen through one man who (whichever one) comes with baggage.

Lets applaud a generally good process but more importantly, buckle up to make this country great.

God bless my country![/quote]You are sure a prof and I love your objectivity. You are right on the money!
