aljharem: You see how du.mb you are. He is your APC Member

You shouldn't expect him to know all APC aficionados on this forum because our names ain't on a payroll unlike you PDP supporters who are known to be paid agents!

Caseless2: ....

aljharem: Hahaha APC a year +

Ok who has govern Lagos since our democracy ? 1990 AD-AC-ACN-APC

Now Lagos is indebted of 1billion dollars out of 3 billion dollars total debts

YET Lagos has nothing to show for it

Not only that APC is now made up of ex PDP members. True or False

If at all you wanna compare the both parties, then compare the state the govern. E.g.

Lagos Vs Akwa Ibom.

Rivers Vs Delta

Edo Vs Bayelsa, and so on!

aljharem: My friend ! Stop being sarcastic, APC is no different from PDP.

How is APC not different from PDP?! PDP has been governing us for the past 15yrs yet they have nothing to show and you're here comparing it with a party of just a year +?! Hope, it ain't what I'm thinking though. Tinubu has truly failed us in terms of electricity. It's time for PDP/GEJ to rescue us.

Gbawe: I am wondering the same thing too. Of course we all know that the PDP failing to improve the abysmal power situation of Nigeria for 15 years, since 1999, is surely Tinubu's fault 100%. That Tinubu sef.

Who's Tinubu sef?!

The Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) who are
clamouring for a second term for President Goodluck
Jonathan may have excelled in their mobilization of many
Nigerians to applaud their goal. Their South-South rally in
Port Harcourt the other Saturday reportedly received the
blessing of over four million citizens of the zone who
demand that Jonathan should contest the 2015 Presidential
elections. Their earlier shows in the South-East and South-
West rallies were similarly impressive. They therefore
appear to have put the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a
joyous mood ahead of 2015. In fairness to the party, no one
can afford to despair considering the kind of figures that are
being reeled out from the TAN rallies.

There is also the latest revelation that different groups
supporting the President have soared from 3000 to 8000
according to Rufai Alkali Political Adviser to the President. It
is probably in order that PDP members are already rejoicing
over what they are seeing as the inevitable victory of
President Jonathan at the coming polls. One of such
optimistic members is my old classmate, Chike who tells me
every other day that their party is set for victory. Every effort
to draw his attention to the need for caution has been
rebuffed. Interestingly, he came out the worse for it for
ignoring a similar caution about being over confident
concerning the recently concluded Female World Cup
contest where Nigeria humiliated every opponent until the
final match in which she failed to fly when it mattered most.

Chike had confidently opined that Nigeria would win
because her No. 4- Oshoala was unstoppable. Alas, Chike
could not recover from the shock of Nigeria’s defeat in the
final match against Germany.

Regrettably, Chike is again getting over confident about
another contest- the Presidential election in Nigeria in 2015.
Is his party, the PDP similarly over confident? If
unfortunately she is, I just hope President Jonathan is not
because there are what can be called election craters on the
way to 2015 and they are many.

First, to count Jonathan’s support groups in thousands
without a fraction is suspect. How come the groups are
exactly 7000 while the number of groups awaiting
recognition is also reported to be exactly 1000 or were the
groups counted by the same people who always counted our
people during our controversial census exercises? If so, who
says the groups are not replicated and that some of the
members are not also members of even opposition groups?
Second, the members of the groups as well as some of the
people in the crowds put together by TAN may have been
rented- a common feature in Nigeria. At the same time,
some of the crowds could just be adventurers who are ever
present at every rally to see what is in there for them
making it dangerous for anyone to rely on the crowds. In
earnest, several segments in the crowds including the
transformation ambassadors themselves might not be
registered voters or may not have succeeded in passing
through the needles’ eye to secure the permanent voters
card.

Again, the typical TAN rally does not in essence add to
knowledge as what we hear there is neither new nor
different from the daily television slogans and jingles. The
rallies would probably be better if they are less predictable.

What is more, that the speakers at the rallies are mostly
ministers and top government officials as well as PDP
stalwarts reduces the level of credibility of the events.
Indeed, the rallies look like those television documentaries
which depict how great a man is by featuring his children
describing him as the best dad ever- whose father?

But none of the issues raised so far raised is as crucial as
the fear of the referee- the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC). Recently, the commission announced
thousands of additional polling stations in the country. How
INEC has shared them should tell the PDP that they are
probably rejoicing at the wrong time. Is the PDP familiar
with “gerrymandering”- a term which refers to the
manipulation of electoral constituencies/polling units in
such a way as to influence the outcome of elections in
favour of a political party? INEC says it has introduced more
voting units to reduce large numbers of voters in some
centres. That sounds good; but by which mathematical
formula did it arrive at giving one zone in the country more
additional units than six other zones put together? Is the
favoured zone the place where several people are migrating
to at this point in time, if not how can it deserve the chunk of
additional units?

Assuming INEC means well, can it guarantee what its often
compromised staff will do with this new device? After all, the
nation is yet to get the details of the manipulation by 2 of its
suspended electoral officers in Osogbo and Obokun local
government areas in the just concluded Osun governorship
election. In any case, while it is wise to ensure that no
voting centre has more than 500 voters, why is INEC
fantasizing to be doing something new? Was the pegging of
voters population at a maximum of 500 per booth not
achieved as far back as 1991 by the Humphrey Nwosu led
electoral body? Perhaps we need to warn that attempting to
change old familiar voting centre less than 6 months before
a major election is risky. It was tried during the 1999 general
elections and the result gathered by this writer as an
election monitor in Gombe State, was heavy fighting
between 2 villages-Galumari and Rilawa. The fight was in
connection with the re-location of the voting centre. Three
persons who were seriously wounded during
the fight were hospitalized at the Kumo General hospital.

The current contentious creation of new voting units and the
resultant inequitable distribution of the units should tell our
political parties that while rallies to mobilize voters are
expedient it is futile not to pay attention to moves that could
make the election a lost battle before it begins.

tomakint: Mere looking at him he looks highly unPresidential while looking at him deeply he has nothing to offer.... however for the beauty of democracy let him try his popularity and see how it goes. Aboki no fit rule me again that one is too sure.

I'm very much sure you won't be alive come 2015 when a Northerner would have been sworn in as the President of Nigeria.

It should rather be #INeedMoreCornToEat! !

Most of you bragging about your first class degrees should go to Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, and see how first class is being awarded to students. I went there recently to check accounting notice board for my sister-cousin, I was so surprised that about 85 names that were published in Accounting Dept, no first class, only 2 2nd class uppers, 73 2nd class lowers and 10 3rd class. I don't know how they did it though.

There are so many schools in Nigeria where you won't be able to make good grades in Nigeria unless you “block” your way out. I believe most 2:2 Graduates of Ekpoma can compete with 2:1 Products of most schools in Nigeria.

barcanista: bros we are talking of ebola not typhoid. It takes the grace of God for ppl to rill-roll with hiv victims not to talk of the hyped ebola

You know most hiv victims are still living with the virus, while this guy in question is no longer infected with ebola. So, the difference is clear. Like Sis. Berem said, fear is the major reason people are running from him!

Amanwulu1: it is alwaz gud to call evil by ias original name and not baptismal name. These were called freedom fighters by d northern elders d last time d fg came down heavily on dem wit d shout of Ihejirika and gej are commiting genocide. Today d elders are on d run n ihejirika is taged a sponsor. End shall never wonder. Kwankwaso is somewhr ranting. Well d end is in sight I blive God.

Who referred to them as freedom fighters?! Ain't it Bamanga Tukur (former PDP Nat. Chairman)?!

When Maigari was sacked and reinstated and was later impeached, I said it here on Nairaland that he'd also be reinstated, but many people never agreed with me saying he was impeached, not sacked until we were ordered to reinstate him back again. They should just allow this man complete is tenure for the sake of peace. The so-called new one has landed himself in trouble now.

The fear of Maigari should be the beginning of wisdom for these men!

I ain't a medical personnel. However, I believe he's viral free since WHO has already confirmed it. Why all this stigmatization?! They should all try and cheer him up joor. Nigerians and fear sha!

@Nigerianvenom, sometimes, it's better to rest when you don't have any meaningful thread to create. Is it mandatory for you to create threads everyday?! Even if y'all are e-mourners, there are still some sensible dudes amongst you who do not create unnecessary threads. Or, are those ones no longer at your level?! Sorry for you though.

I pray you get well soon. Trying everything possible to discredit the people's General, not knowing that you're even campaigning “for” him. Besides, PDP should try and get rid of these posters who barely make sense and employ new ones because I see them regretting it come 2015!

thwarrior72: But how many barracks do we have in bonu state alone?, while some state down south don't have, even one

Ain't you aware that Borno State is under State of Emergency?!

Davidoff2000: APC n propaganda. Always winning elections on social media.So pdp 89, 000 while apc has 5000 votes less. Elections to b held in 7council units. How do u cover a 5000vote deficit in 7council wards in a week.

APC has lost yet again...and apart from the osun elections, they hv neva won any election as a political party.

You see the reason I've preference for the men that ruled Nigeria in the 70s and 80s over these youths?! How on earth would a youth celebrate robbery?! We all saw the results yesterday and it was crystal clear that APC was leading. Even some National Newspapers confirmed it. Anyways, I do not blame you. I believe you're from a region why cheating is accepted or is believed to be a way of life.

If PDP should win this election, then Nigeria is in trouble!

barcanista: the ppl of Niger should reject this robbery even b4 the scheduled poll

If APC accepts this result, then they should be ready to lose the 2015 General Election. PDP being stealing since 1999!

barcanista: You don't know PDP and their magic

I just saw it now that 5 - 6 Polling Units Election has been scheduled to hold on the 6th of September due to reasons best known to INEC. And to make the matters worse, PDP is already ahead of APC with almost 4,500 margin. I would be surprised if PDP wins because it was crystal clear that APC was leading yesterday. PDP only won one Polling Unit in Minna!

barcanista: Kwankwaso lost 2003 to Newbie Shekarau all because Buhari didn't endorse him but endorsed shekarau. Kwankwaso won 2011 because his supporters supported Buhari 2011 and never supported pdp's jonathan. Kwankwaso supporters are first and foremost Buhari's supporters. Even the Kwankwasiyya movement will backtrack once GMB declares. I am sure the Kano HoA won't deny this. Should Buhari declare-it's over. He will win the ticket but for Kwankwaso political future, he shouldn't contest against him in the primarÌes or else the northern masses will see it as an affront and they wl change their luv 4 him to hate. There should be a concensus but whoever feels he shd try it out @ d polls should b allowed to contest in the primaries BUÞ will lose.

Sai Buhari
Sai APC

You've said it all. Kwnakwaso should try and support Buhari's Candidacy. Because with the way things are going, Buhari is highly respected in the North. His candidates always win any election in the North. He supported Umoru Tanko Almakura and he won. He's still the game player in Kaduna. If El-rufai behaves himself and enjoys Buhari's support, he'd become the Governor of Kaduna come 2015.

Buhari only needs a very strong APC guy from the South that can be able to garner atleast 80% of the votes Buhari would get from the North to become the President. I pray Atiku should remain mute till Buhari wins though!

barcanista: Who won the other LGA?
Pdp and rigging... What do they mean inconclusive? This is a shame from Jega led Inec.

I guess the OP is just joking. Why on earth would the cancel the election that's already been won by APC?!

barcanista: There is no fight. Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso should know that even his ardent supporters are in support of Gen Buhari candidacy. General Buhari remains FIRST choice, Kwankwaso is only an alternative should Buhari decline to contest. Even Kwankwasiyya Camp can attest to this. But Buhari haven't declared officially, once he declares, it is.....


SAI BUHARI
SAI APC

Kwankwaso for Minister of Power or Defense under the New APC govt in 2015

This' what I wanna hear from you. Kwankwaso is good though, but APC would never like to minus the Anti-corruption Crusader and go for Kwankwaso. He still needs to be monitored before he's considered for any position. If the Kano State HoA ain't fully in support of their boss, then he should also know that most Northern States wouldn't support him since Buhari is there.

I enjoin them all to do things in an orderly way because the National Convention is approaching. We don't want a consensus candidate; they should all go to the field. Because we wouldn't want PDP to cry more than the bereaved!

ITbomb: Abuja alone is having about the same number of polling units as the entire 8 states of the South East.
After we go dey here they shout say Aboki no get sense whereas dem dey plan ahead

So, SE States have become 8?!

chimoz: APC can't field a candidate because they didn't participate in the last election.its only political parties that participated in 2011 that will take part in the bye election.

Did APC participate in Niger East Senatorial Election in 2011?! How come they participated today?!

I'm with the PDP on this. How can you lead a “politically motivated” impeachment against somebody and still wanna occupy the vacuum your impeachment created?! It's not done. He wanna be a Governor either by hook or by crook. He should just go and enjoy the cash that was given to him for the impeachment of the Governor!

arent88: If u hav ever been to minna then u shld knw that the polling unit called ibb is a pramary sch nt even close to general ibb's house located at uphill.so stop spewing thrash

Guy, whenever you wanna quote me, pls quote me like a sane dude. Since you know it ain't even close to IBB's unit, why didn't you tell me in a plausible way?! Pls, behave yourself!

brownlord: I dey laugh you, go look that behind well make you com tell me if na egunje 50 naira ass be that, that girl na highway, na like assistant commissioner upward go dey browse that lady I dey see so

Lol... Na true sha!

brownlord: Lol, bros you know the level now, how ur end bro?

Just dey bros!
