Johnthum:
am beginning to like Northerners. Governor El-rufai really favoured Peter Obi walahi. I advice my Igbo brothers to form alliance with the North.

As we can see, South South betrayed Peter Obi, but the North rescued Peter Obi.

South West is our enemy right from the formation of Nigeria. So, forget about South West, they hate Igbos with passion.

I urge my Igbo brothers to start Loving Northerners, as for me, I've decided to marry an Hausa lady.

God bless Hausa
God bless plateau State
God bless Governor El-rufai 💯

'South South betrayed you?' It's no longer Yorubas. Where's the written agreement? I really pity South South.

Katcall:
you are wrong. 25% in 2/3 of 36 states and fct means you must garner 1/4 of votes in 24 states and abuja

You just repeated what I said above. English is really making things hard for us. Try to interpret into your local dialect.

Good reply to OBJ open letter.

We all know how elections were conducted under Obj with some States declaring millions of rigged votes. INEC should just do away with lots of unused PVC, let real people that are affected re-register again; there're lots of rot under Obj's government. For a president to even say 'election is do or die' I'm yet to get over such. As far as Nigeria is concerned this election is the best; cheating and rigging is reduced to the lowest minimum.

The truth is that Obj doesn't want another Yorubaman to govern Nigeria except only him.

There are lots of devilish incitement going on... the government should arrest all the inciters, particularly the fake pastors, that refused to pray but acting god to their unsuspecting and deceived congratulations.

Trollronaldo:
you will not listen to the INEC commissioner. You will be putting your won interpretation.

You must get 25% in FCT. The constitution was clear on this

This is the reason will need to interpret everything into local languages. English is so problematic for some.

This is just grammar. In every context, whether in nysc, census, etc, Nigeria division is referred to as 36 states and fct. If they now say something (24) in 36 states and fct, that means if you won in 23 states + fct making 24, then you're qualified because fct is seen as one of the states(36+1=37 federating units). It doesn't mean fct is a mandatory or compulsory.

Egoat:

Point is that.
Popular opinion has it that one needs to win 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states abi? And the 2/3 of 36 states is 24.
If FCT is recognized as a state then 2/3 of 37 states is 24.6 which is not a whole number.
Then it's possibly safe to say 2/3 of 36 states and FCT is 25 states and not 24 states as commonly believed.

felzokugo:


These ekiti so called christains wch you claim all voted for tilumbu(a moslem) most hv been possessed by d evil spirit sent to d herd of pigs by Christ.

It's only in Lagos some brainwashed and 'woke' slowpokes are seeing religion as a factor, average Yorubaman elsewhere isn't concerned about religion.

Urchinpainer:


Now I believe that Igbos are Benin share something from the ancient times.

They belong to each other; even in Biafra.

Omon605:


Obi will likely win North Central as it stand

He can't win Kwara, Niger, Kogi for sure. Nassarawa not sure. Only plateau sure for him and Benue is contestable.

grandstar:


I wish the emboldened was small comfort.

You may be right that Obi may get the 25% needed in 24 states. But he will still have a poor showing up North.

How is Peter Obi faring in the states below? In Kaduna, he will win lots of votes but thats only in the Christian dominated Southern part. The results from Muslim dominated parts of the state which determine who becomes governor isn't voting for Peter Obi. From the few results I have seen, its as though Tinubu and Atiku are digging it out there.

In other parts of the North like in Bornu and Yobe for example, the votes are for the APC.

Again I ask, How is Peter Obi faring in the states below?

kano
kaduna
sokoto
Bauchi
Katsina
Zamfara
Jigawa
Gombe
Bornu
Yobe
Kebbi

Anyway, na God dey feed person and no be man (Psalm 146:3-4)

He can't get 25% in 6(NW) + 3 or 4(NE) + 4(SW) + 1 or 2(NC). Only Kaduna, Lagos and Ogun 25% sure for him in the NW & SW.

Slippy:


Is not total votes that cancel but the differential. If Obi scores a landslide in the SE you might have to adjust your calculations.

Regardless the landslide in the SE, Obi and Tinubu votes will cancel out one another in the South and North Central, this election will be won in the core North.

seborrhic:

You don't use results from few polling units to arrive at the conclusion of election results.
The results he posted seem authentic.LP has done pretty well but APC has a formidable structure in Lagos that only a strong alliance btw LP and pdp can dislodge.
Obi may do very well in Lagos,but unfortunately may not defeat Tinubu in Lagos.
LP may likely win in Abuja

Tinubu is actually a good politician, knowing fully well that many SW youths, endsars people, majority of the Pentecostal churches (against Muslim-Muslim), haters of Buhari's borders cloture, scarcity of fuel and cash and other bad policies, Osibanjo indifference, Obasanjo and Ayo Adebanjo supporters, PDP Dollars, the 'wokes' and the rest like other minority groups in Lagos and SW would be against him;
He simply held on to the northern APC governors that helped him win primary election. His pally with wike is also top notch as wike already made up his mind to help both the two southern candidates.

In lieu of the above, big respect to Tinubu and associates if APC wins.

INEC, Rigging has started already!
Nnewi votes stand cancelled!

Every other place people waited in the sun without getting their PVC. After the collection date had expired, disgruntled INEC officials in the East and Ugm start releasing undocumented and stolen PVC to the youths to distribute.

I don't know about any law in the land that permits undocumented PVCs to be distributed by the youths other than INEC officials. INEC should release uncollected PVCs in other places to the public then.

This is rigging already.
INEC in many areas refused to give the PVC to their owners after waiting in the sun for several days; case study: Obafemi-owode, Ogun.
Now they threw whole stuff to the bush in Anambra so that people could still distribute after INEC closing date for collection of PVC. This is systematic rigging by INEC in Nnewi.

Certainly!

You came in drove to a place, where less than 10% was Lagos colony and the rest Western region both belonging to Yorubas. The next thing only Igbos are shouting is, ’Lagos is no man’s land’, ’a slum’ and they want to dictate what happens there.

These same Igbos ran away from Lagos during June 12 crisis and would not tolerate an Ebonyi person in Anambra or Mbaise person. They are very divisive and I want the ’wokes’ Yorubas to learn from Rivers people that know these people better and already put them in checks. They go to Ghana and other African countries to do these their nonsense but they were immediately checkmated. Only a foolish Oluku would clap when this same people call your Oba or land name and refer to you as Yoruba Muslim or Christian.

Their nonsense are tolerated only in Yorubaland and those forming wokes without plan to leave any legacy or land/culture to their children and grandchildren are supporting them. One was even beaten his chest on the other thread that, 'they, Igbos would drive Yorubas away from Nigeria;' and the mods are seeing those rubbish. Forgetting that you can never help yourself or community by being liberal in the midst of tribal people that surround you in a country like Nigeria. They want to destroy your own and keep their own. They wasted their own federal allocation and question yours.

Everyone is from a place, a tribe and shall remain forever and if you don't want that you and your house are lost forever. Regardless the results of the elections, some stuff needed to be corrected. Hausas have large populations and settlements all over SW, some run into centuries before we even know Igbos, but I have never seen them calling our land 'no man's land' or slum. Likewise, I have never seen Yorubas calling anywhere in the north, east, south 'no man's land'

We think we're wise but no, we're not. All our forefathers understand our foundational problems reasons for independent and republican constitutions of the 1960 and 1963. True federalism, this Ironsi suspended just because Igbos dominated everything federal then and imposed unitary system logically. Till today, any Yorubaman thinking he's from Anambra and could do as he likes there is deceiving himself, likewise igboman forming such in Lagos.

Justice Chukwujeku should also bar INEC from using transport unions in other states since they all have close relationship with politicians and state executives.

Better still he can order inec to bring in Anambra transporters to distribute materials in Lagos.

He's trying to create crises and frustrate the coming elections. An appeal by Lagos park management will throw this emotional judgement under bus.

Really disappointed in these guys Seun Mynd44 and co. They left lots of fake news against Tinubu, APC and the suffering masses but when you counter these online mobs your comments disappeared. Highly biased mods here.

michlins:
and his old time core supporters hating him

But the man Buhari doesn't care about you and your opinion

Enjoy your hero, Buhari and don't wail again.

Coolsperm:
Tinubu is the major cause of this currency problem, Tinubu stole money Tru bullion van during last election

You post this everywhere and people only laugh at your effort since what you typed has no meaning; only Obidient would have done this... Just listened to yourself, 'he stole money tru bullion van...

Buhari should have done this Naira redesign some weeks to his re-election in 2019 instead of forming a super cop or economist now. In the process suffering millions of masses with loosing obidients and cabal's Atikulators, his newly found lovers hailing him.

Atiku's efforts and that of cabal will only divide the country.

Ipobidients don't really hate Buhari but Tinubu. Buhari and Emefiele are their greatest heroes now.

People are out for some evil plots without consideration for the masses. The most idiotic among us are the jubilant obidients who think the pains people are going through now would favour them. Only Atiku can benefit from this since cabals want a fulani to replace Buhari, another fulani.

Just look at how Paul of Psquare was ranting about paying 70k for 40k, moreover, he's paying for visa to Japa without participating in the elections.

Benbellamor:
The order of the supreme court is Not a judgement but 'an interlocutory injuction'.... as it stands, neither the police Nor the Army are served any cerified true copies to that effect.....moreso, CBN was not invited before the interlocutory order.... The president Veto carries more weight sir

We are not in a state of war or a martial law declared and constitution suspended, so every authority still obey the Supreme court's....

There will be more confusion until we go back to Republic Constitution of 1963. What we have now is like military constitution; unfortunately, civilian president cannot arrest the governors. We're heading to crisis or state of anarchy and the governors are there to protect the interests of their citizens against that of Buhari and Emefiele, who in his failure to become president is now backing his compatriot Okowa and Atiku.

They think they can stampede everyone to submission. Why not go and remove the Rec yourself? After all you asked him direct question why your people didn't get their pvc and he gave direct answer. Moreover, you can bring Onitsha, Anambra transporters' union to come and distribute election materials in Lagos since only you get craze for head.

In language Fulanis are just like other Niger-Congo groups in West Africa although they seem related to Berbers and Tuareg; they've got little Nok in them. They probably had there origin in present Senegal. Unlike Hausas who are Afro-Asiatic and other tribes like Kanuris and those in Chad who are Nilo-Saharan, the Fulanis are different and could have come from mixture of several origins. If you study them well, you will understand the only thing uniting them are language, culture, religion and behaviour; not always physique or look.

It's only in Nigeria someone like Emefiele would remain in his job. This is a total failure and both the president and Emefiele are behaving as if nothing happened.

Why must a sensible CBN changed the 3 highest denomination of our currency the same time? Why not ₦1000 first before ₦500 and ₦200 respectively? These people know very well that there are less than 6% bank account holders in some states; so how would cashless policy work in a country like Nigeria? It should have been a gradual process....

Why mopping up these money without quick replacement to a certain extent? I still wonder how a CBN would take this step without anticipating this situation we find ourselves putting in place problem solving mechanism to resolve these unpalatable experiences Nigerians are going through.

What should be paramount to everyone is the way forward and penalties melted out to all public and private persons involved in inflicting this pain on Nigerians.

Aregbesola now!
