STFU. People voting Buhari in the South South were heckled seriously. A couple of ladies in my PU in purdah were booed and taunted.

Voting on religious basis is not restricted to the North. Shouldn't we also excoriate all those Pastors in the South telling their congregation that GEJ is the 'divine candidate'?

You are sounding like a wrecked train these days. Its been shocking seeing you descend this way. The article mentions just Bauchi state, that is very far from your North vs South response.

I don't care what side of the devide you sit on, there just have to be moral red lines that shouldn't be crossed. Buhari looks very set to lose despite his appeals to the "faithful." Is that the kind of ugly politics Nigeria wishes for in these days of true voter representation? Please tell me what good can come out of bigotry, I know you can be logical when you actually try.

I haven't heard a single story about any religious person going from polling station to polling station in the South, preaching that people should vote along religious lines. I am 100% certain you haven't either.

Early results from the Nigerian Presidential election has shown ethnic and religious sentiments as voters polled for ther favourite candidates.

The two main frontrunners; the candidate of the Congress for progressive Change (CPC) General Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim from the the North is very dominant in the North with no sign of taking a single state in the whole South and Middle Belt, while candidate of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) and incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, a Southerner from the minority oil producing region is sweeping all the states in the South and doing considerably well in the Middle Beltan states, plus gaining strong in the northern states of Adamawa and Kwara.

. . .

BAUCHI:

Reports of violence in the Misau area of the state as irate youths burn part of INEC building in protest before accreditation began. There are also reports of persons going from polling unit to unit urging voters not to vote for an 'infidel', that is, the PDP candidate President Goodluck Jonathan. CPC projected to win state.

Do we really aspire to this sort of primitive politics? Haven't enough people died in religious riots, why bring it into politics?
This election is really a test of Nigeria's nationhood against sectional and religious bigotries. What side are you on?

10cirenoh:
There's surely going to be a run off between PDP and CPC, no two way about it. it's going between north and south now.

On NL, but not in the real World. There is very low voter turnout across the North:

[size=14pt]4:20pm: Kano records low turnout of voters[/size]

Written by Auwalu Umar, Kano Saturday, 16 April 2011 16:33

The Presidential election is recording a low turnout of voters in Kano compared to what was witnessed in last national assembly elections in the state.

Such cases were recorded in Sumaila, Garko, Makoda, Kumbotso and Gezawa. Other places included Shanono, Gwarzo, Karaye, Bagwai and Wudil. Low turnout of women was more pronounced in rural areas where one could not see their presence at various polling units as was the case last week.

Community leaders raised alarm via text messages to media houses over the development, saying the poor turnout of women in particular was a source of concern given the significance of the election.

In Wudil and Garko, community mobilizers had to go house to house to prevail on husbands to allow their wives to go and vote.

There are two conflicting reports as to the cause of poor turnout of voters in this election, according to findings by our reporter.

One of the reports have it that the voters were discouraged by the collapse of the proposed party alliance between Buhari’s CPC and Tunubu’s ACN. The other version of the report is that many women especially in rural areas thought they would only come out to vote without accreditation since they got accredited last week.

Beaf, don't be surprised if the results show a north-south divide at the end of the day.

I don't doubt they will, though GEJ's results will have quite a healthy spread. Buhari never even bothered to campaign to any sensible degree in the South. It has always been about "born to rule" vs the rest of the country. Yep, this election is a solid test of sectional bigotry vs national strength.

Yeah, CPC got out their dogs to publish fake early results. Can you imagine places in Bornu declaring early results when last time results had to be brought in by horse and donkey?
But let them play the game in CPC strongholds, even better, let them carry it through on the ground. It will make life damn easy! LOL!

johnie:
I think you guys should keep an eye on the results from the north to get a balanced view of events:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=648167.10;wap2

Lol!
CPC people are playing their usual tricks of telling lies and publishing false results. They are already raising serious suspicions on INEC's facebook page.
Imagine almajiri's trying to rig!

GEJ is getting bloodied in Bauchi and Bornu states tho. Some areas of Adamawa are tight, but Benue is in the kitty.

Lol! Check out Owo art an Benin art, check out their traditional titles. Dude, Ondo peeps are our blood brothers!

@topic

Jonathan has taken an early lead in released results so far.
He has strong leads in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun its an SW sweep!
More to come. . .

Rossikk:
Where does this man get the money to contest election after election?

Million dollar question.

The reason behind it was clearly the last race showed how important it is to have fresh tyres during the race. Obviously we would have a used option if we are doing a three stop. In the last race I only had two options I could use and then I had a new prime and an old prime. I wanted to make sure I had plenty of fresh tyres so we are in quite a strong position. I have got the options I just qualified on, a new set of options and a new set of primes and a very decent set of options again. Just tried to increase the chances for the race as that is where it actually counts.

http://www.grandprix.com/race/r842satpc.html

Very interesting statement from Lewis. He had a choice of two option (soft) tyres, yet McLaren ran him on softs (for the first stint only), after that it was strictly primes to the extent that old tyres were put on his car. He clearly had enough tyres for that race from his own words, that was also a commonly known fact from his tyre use during quali.
It seems McLaren are trying to cover a serious set of blunders by blaming the poor tyre strategy on Lewis blackspotting a set of options. lol!
If I recall, Jenson, Vettel and quite a few others did the same, so thats just the lamest PR that McLaren can reach for.

aigboeben:
Ndu-Chucks your comments about the south-south region is one that is full of biased and unnecessary venom. take note that Edo indigenes are not oil bunkerers because the state is not even an oil rich state. How would you feel if one refer to the east ( I suppose your region) as a group of rebels? Be careful how you say things.It is one Nigeria

East? ndu_chucks is a pure Fulani from Niger Republic.

I wonder what you would have said if instead on Anenih, it had been "Alhaji Mukarram al Mukhtar?" I bet as NL's ethnic chauvinism champ, it would the expected full and acrobatic 360 degree U-turn!

I like this Rambo version of Anenih!

Alj Uche:
then the pdp person that won SHOULD BE IGBO NOT YORUBA or i dey lie

since u are majority then rule a ward in lagos then

I VOTED FOR PDP IN THE STATE LEVEL AND VOTED FOR BUHARI IN FEDRAL

Was there a special ballot box for people like you to put sticks and stones in?
Just joking!

I pray that Nigerians will say a resounding no to such primitive politics with their votes today.

[size=14pt]I always knew Orikinla's version of madness could only be personal, now he has confirmed it is due to his inabilty to bond with his blood relations out of what seems like jealousy, to the extent that he actually sounds stark raving mad.
I really don't have the words to describe such depths of foolishness.

There is one more SS NLer that needs to confess, as well as a host of others who are bitter, because they didn't get to rob the country blind this time.[/size]

So, please lets ignore that.

[size=14pt]Let Us Come Together in Prayer No Matter the Side of he Political Fence You Sit On[/size]

After a hectic campaign that saw lives lost and friendships broken, let us meditate and reach out in friendship; to heal and to build.
Some might be atheists, others Muslim, yet others non-religious, all the same let us all join hands this once to move Nigeria forward with one accord.
More than anything, let us also remember the souls of those that fell during the journey; may their souls rest in peace and God give succour to those they left behind.

What better way to say thank you to our friends and hug our adversaries than enthral you with beautiful praise songs (Isoko, Ijaw and Uhrobo) from the Niger Delta. There are many more languages, so please feel free to feel in with videos from Igbo land, Itsekiri, Anang etc. Let us thank our fellow Nigerians.

This is a sincere prayer for Buhari's cataclysmic routing at the polls later today, and an end to the charade of his never ending candidacy.

He is the stick that was used to break the back of the hegemonist cabal and ex-generals, and destroy their deathgrip grip on Nigeria.
With him went Babangida, Abdulsalami, Atiku, Ciroma, Abba Ruma, Aliero, Tanimu Yakubu and other decrepit bats and vultures.

[size=14pt]Buhari According to Encyclopaedia Britannica (a true man of the forest)[/size]

[size=14pt]Insurmountable economic problems plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum prices collapsed in the face of expanding foreign debt.

"Buhari instituted austerity measures that caused severe hardship to the average Nigerian. In addition, political corruption continued unabated, with politicians escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in government money. In an effort to stop dissension, Buhari instituted restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists. By August 1985 even the military had had enough, and Ibrahim Babangida took control of the government. "[/size]

Buhari will also be remembered as a man of stones, who also attracted vast swarms of stone throwing types.

Poor thing, ready to die for a red eyed sharia zealot.

werepeLeri:
bAKARE IS FINISHED. wHERE WILL HE RUN TO?

He dug his own grave, "prophesying" and dipping his paws into politics through the leverage of SNG that has now disowned him.
Now he's going nowhere, but down. And what greater sign can there be than the way he was traded like a bag of garri between CPC and ACN in their miserable attempted alliance.

Moves:
And some pro Buhari people will want us to believe that Military Buhari is different from the current Buhari; ACN made required sacrifice to wrest power from PDP; asking for a VP position is even asking for too little in the scheme of things; All that was required was for Buhari to give a press public press statement to that effect in announcing the alliance. Problem Solved, but know either Buhari or his adviser or his VP was not willing to make such concession.

Tell dem jare!
Buhari is not in the least bit smart. Where in the World would he ever get a repeat of the sort of miraculous deal that preserved his presidential dreams in an alliance with a party that has govt representation that is 10 times bigger than CPC's?
That man is strange!

SNG says the "prophet" is dishonest and we know that the sharia hero is dishonest.
I guess you should change your weak slogan.

Bakare is a jobber.

Typical Hamilton . So Lewis is already throwing his toys out of d pram after just 2 races. Usually I would see this as nothing but hot air before contract negotiation, after all Vettel did d same at d end of last season. But Lewis seems very serious.

Dude, my speculation that Lewis was given old tyres was proven correct. I wasn't aware that Lewis himself had said as much.
In all my years of watching F1, I've never heard of a team that has done that, even brand new teams. I've always been a McLaren fan (from Mika Hakinnen, through Rakonnen to Lewis), but that was a real clanger; I would blame any driver for blowing their top, its also interesting how fast Martin Whitmarsh reacted to forgive Lewis and try to kill the story with PR.
