That is the quality of his support base. Those who are both heavily disenfranchised educationally and prone to violence. He knows this so he says words targeted indirectly at them, like... "dogs and baboons" This is the quality of his base. |
Former Senator Ben Bruce has said that you can rig votes, but you can't rig the public's mood. His tweet below: They announce your ‘win’ and it is as if a majority of the nation is in mourning mode. That ought to tell you something. You can rig votes, but you can’t rig the public’s mood. https://twitter.com/benmurraybruce/status/1100706527139295232

In response to Adams Oshimole mocking Atiku, Ben Murray-Bruce twitted: @Atiku has what it takes to fix the economy. Sadly, the elections were far from perfect and we are where we are now. I rather think someone like Adams Oshiomhole should direct his attention to the fact that the NSE has lost ₦400 billion since the election than in mocking Atiku. https://twitter.com/benmurraybruce/status/1101524059177828353

Damsyjay:Who told you the guy is Igbo? And who told you it is only Igbos that feel this way about the beggars? |
stephleena:I am not Igbo, and if you look at my post, I don't support many Igbo matters but this OP has been particularly... what's the word? Okay, let's just say that the things he splashed on here seem to be the product of foolishness that welled up in his heart |
Corrinthians:How have you come to the conclusion that the guy in the video is from the south east? How have you come to the conclusion that only people in the south east share the sentiment of the guy in the video? Don't you know there are literally hundreds of ethnic groups from Jos (plateau) to Delta to Akwa-Ibom Cross River, Benue, Bayelsa, etc that are not Igbos? If you are Nigerian, I don't think you know your country. |
Corrinthians:Have you seen this response to your post? stephleena:Or this one? chinchong:What is your constructive response to them? |
This is one thing the Igbos have been right about over the years. The uneducated northern populace follow what their leaders say, kind of like sheep. They don't question what they are being told or turn it over. Their leaders like them that way (uneducated) so they can keep on making them do their bidding. |
The truth is that it is seriously foolish to depend on other countries to administer justice in your domain for you. It is self-disrespecting, after you clamoured for independence. Look at Syria, and ask yourself at what point the international community stepped in. Look at Serbia and realize that it is at the stage where they had killed themselves very well that the international community stepped in. When things are like this as they are in Nigeria, they never step in the way Nigerians fantasize - at all. Like I said in an earlier post, as an adult, who cleans your catarrh for you? Don't you know that the international community knows that grown up boys and girls (and more so, adults) clean their catarrh for themselves? code151 awuf2008 ugoland2013 ofoltundeseun delishpot Shaev7 |
hisgrace090:Over the years, I have said that this is the reason why an Igbo man will never be president. Everyone already knows that he will say that he is smarter than the rest of us and that is why he is dominating us in the country. They need the votes of these people (Yoruba, Ijaw, etc) in whose faces they will try to rub insults. I can't see why they can't see that. Feels like a curse on the intellectual part of their collective mind, to be highly attracted to politically self-destructive positions. |
jaxxy:Nigeria is our own country. If we cannot enforce our own rules, who will do it for us? As an adult, who blows your nose for you? Who cleans your c_tarrh for you? |
As far as I am concerned, Buhari is not my president because I cannot accept the outcome of such a rotten and disgraceful process as my president. The results should have been declared inconclusive in many areas, given the crimes committed, until INEC gets down to the truth of the matter, which is that the APC lost in those areas. It is the loss that caused them to commit all the atrocities that led to the kind of embarrassingly false results in which the numbers do not add up, and which is now embarrassing INEC, the APC, and Nigeria as a country. I personally do not accept the product of fraud and a childish insult on our collective intelligence as my own president. As a country, we can do better than inflict upon ourselves the product/outcome of the horrors and crimes of last Saturday, on ourselves, as our leader. In any case, the shame both locally and internationally is just too massive to bear. |
FocusedDiva:But these are not verified quotes. No single credible source. Just graphics that anyone can create, put any text there, and add any face they choose. I used to do the same in order to tweet more thanb140 characters during the days when the twitter limit was 140. With a graphic, I can add as many words to the graphic and then tweet the graphic |
baliyubla:True |
If you have witnessed at least 3 presidential elections since the beginning of our current democracy, like if you consider this the most, or one of the most chaotic and disorganized elections in recent times. Share if you think INEC improved on the quality of the process by a notch. https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/INEC-3.png |
The mere fact that there are polling units were ordinary cannot go and cast their votes because of the threat of violence, is completely absurd. The political class has empowered thuggery and the thugs that perpetuate thuggery, such that it is the thugs that own the process. When the process that determines leadership outcomes within our country gets properly marinated within the devices of such thugs as we see grab ballot papers (maybe burn them) and chase voters away, what kind of country/society do we expect emerges out of that scenario? |
From the reports of violence coming in from several parts of the country, it seems apparent that the country failed to make progress on the gains of the improved elections we witnessed in 2015. There was violence in 2015, but there was improvement. The card readers were used. We expected the use of the card readers to be added into are electoral act, but for his own reasons, the president did not sign that bill. Now, it seems that soldiers get directly involved in the process, as opposed to what we saw in 2015, when the court ruled that the military must not get within a certain distance of any polling unit. I think one major difference was the commitment of the last president to respecting the outcome of the elections, as opposed to what most believe to be this administration's all-or-nothing approach to retaining power. Indeed, the process seems haphazard, and we seem not to have improved on the improvements recorded during the last elections (the Jega regime) even if that is what we all had hoped for our country, going forward. |
decatalyst:Please, can you point out where I used derogatory adjectives at you? |
dhuthraki:The prescription for electoral malpractice is not death so anyone who kills anyone on account of electoral malpractice has only committed murder. If the punishment for stealing in our law is not death, and you administer death unto a person because you think you caught him stealing, red handed, what do you think will happen to you? It is a highly disgraceful thing to come out of the mouth of a president. He is the first Nigerian president to vote with his words, for jungle justice, as opposed to the superiority of the law. |
The quality of the process seems to have deteriorated this year |
From the progress we made in 2015 to this deteriorated state of violence |
Sergioaguero:Compared to 2015, these elections seem to be more disorganised, and marred by violence. We were supposed to improve on the gains of 2015 |
I feel sad tat the reports from various parts of the country show a detorioration from where we were in terms of elections in Nigeria in 2015, to this low level of widespread violence. There was some improvememnt in 2015, it would seem. But I trust social medial over the next few days will bring to the fore, as it is already doing now, incriminating evidence against men with guns (and thugs) in these elections. A deterioration of the process |

cenaman:They were offering 5k for people to vote for them. Where they offering 5k for each casted vote to be destroyed or recounted in their favour? Unintelligent conclusion. |
somehow:However, provide proof that he was doing it then. I mean are you just saying this because of the moment, or do you have a verifiable source from which you got the information that he has been doing it since? That being said, what is not right, is not right no matter when it is done. |
somehow:We didn't know them. And it was still wrong then. |
132 vies after all this time? Try the "Autos" section and the "Car Talk" section. I think those sections get more exposure. |
If bubu wins this elections really, these people boldness will be totally astonishing. They will see his victory as a license to go amok |
360degreess:Very intelligent and eloquent. We are proud to hear him articulate his views very clearly and intelligently this way with the international press. |
LiveByNight:Zoharariel The bible warned about these people. The Bible said they would forbid people to get married. When you try to alter what God has made normal for a man by telling him to serve as a minister (from the young age at which he starts) he must say goodbye to sex, you can expect all these things to happen. God said go and multiply. They said don't marry. How will these things not happen? What we see in the public is only a tip of the iceberg, with regards to what happens behind closed doors, and the psychological pain and struggle these catholic ministers silently go through all their lives |
PythonDancer:The fact is that if all these things are happening on the el-rufai's watch, it means he has lost control of his state. He lacks the leadership that should see that these things do not happen. |
