With that method, the election won't be rigged.

I think this sentence will better hold if made more complete, like so: "With that method, the election won't be rigged in any effective way for such rigging to affect the final outcome of the elections as will be intended by the totality of voters."

Idiot since it have zero failures what is incident form doing there ?

Maybe because there's nothing like "absolutely zero" in life? The Zero thingy means it's expected that instances of Card Readers being unable to authenticate voters are expected to be very few indeed. But no matter how few, NO potential voter should be disfranchised.

Hopefully, the INEC gets it that near perfect.

ZombiePUNISHER:
Since the card reader failed in 2015

Why did the election stand

Maybe because it was miles better than ALL the elections before it since 1999 - mainly because of the use of the Card Reader technology during the election? And because it was adjudged both largely free and fair by most observers? Take your pick.

In addition, be rest assured that those phantom/huge numbers of electoral votes usually recorded especially from the creeks, will be seriously curbed this time.

In the meantime, good luck to all honest aspirants in the coming elections.

I can't remember the last time I came across a wise and truer words online...

I had initially praised the post and poster as well, but then had to backtrack, like so:

duwdu:
This is a fantastic post. Many thanks for outing this adage, ybalogs.

Edit:

After some 'googling,' I've come to realize that the concept of a monkey being unable to climb a banana tree, is just a myth and not true at all! Monkeys can and do climb banana and other palm trees with ease.

Those interested in the issue should read up at relevant links such as: https://www.quora.com/Can-a-monkey-climb-a-banana-tree

ybalogs:
WHAT AN IRONY OF LIFE?

Do you know that the only tree a monkey cannot climb is the banana tree. Paradoxically, banana is what monkey likes the most. This means that anytime banana is found in the hand of a monkey, it's most likely a gift. Hence the phrase "Who dash monkey banana?" was coined.

In the journey of life there are things you like but can never achieve unless you are given by God.

Therefore, it is not of him that willeth or of him that runneth but of God that showeth Mercy. May His mercy continue to abide in, and with you forever. Amen.��

This is a fantastic post. Many thanks for outing this adage, ybalogs.

That should be refer to as a great controversy. The Governor is pretending to please his boss.

Correct!

That Governor had since known that his application to substitute his name was rejected, yet he as recently as yesterday (Monday) still lied to his people that INEC "made a mistake."

You are mentioning politically worthless people and that's because you are ignorant.

Do you know that in 2011, Sokoto youths accused the Sultan of working against Buhari, threatened to beat up the Sultan and burn his Palace, he had to run out of Sokoto.

That's someone you're banking on to work for Atiku.

It's like you just started following politics last week.

Someone posted this on Facebook.


Just to jog some memories.

These are pictures from 2015.

They are pictures of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election campaign in Kano state.

As we can see - a massive crowd attended the show.

Of course, we know how the story ended. The man got virtually no votes in Kano.

So, to those of you who have been cavorting about the place because some bored Nigerians saw an opportunity to be entertained at some political campaign rally - sit back, relax and then take a chill pill!

Nothing can be more true. Good thinking; excellent post!

Teenage Nollywood Actress, Regina Daniels has Blasted President Buhari in an acceptance speech she posted on her Instagram page stating that she has agreed to become the Youth Campaign Coordinator for former Vice President  Atiku Abubakar.
She wrote

I'm Regina Daniels. Proud to be 100% Atikulated with Atiku Abubakar who is in the race to become Nigeria's next President. I accept my appointment as Youth Campaign Coordinator For Nollywood with humility and youthful zeal. Atiku is a youth-friendly leader who has assured that every 4 out of 10 of his cabinet will be a youth. It can't sure get any better.
The incumbent called President "Bubu" is a myriad of lies, inuendos, deceits, incompetence, tyranny, inability, inadequacies, glaring misfit and the downright collapse of the basic structure of the Nigerian society. The drift is brazen. The nation is at crossroads. The land bleeds from hunger and inertia. It's time to steer the ship away from caput. From Bama to Bori, Aba to Abuja, kaura Namode to Kaduna, the sky is gloomy.
Time for Nigerian Youths to join me and vote Atiku/Obi 2019 to protect our future.

Instead of obj to just sit and watch, he's just talking too much and losing respect...

Obj is beginning to look irrelevant...

OBJ became irrelevant couple of years ago already, actually.

The latest evidence that OBJ now feels himself irrelevant, was the way he got the press to cover him as he read his most recent drivel — sorry, letter — while he was seated yakata behind a large "Presidential" desk, obviously to make himself feel he's the sovereign President once more who was addressing the world press. LOL.

The man has become a pathetic version of the Odi murderer, Third-term-for-himself pusher, incestuous father, grand father of corruption, and a waster of our $16 Billion fund in one fell swoop — all rolled into one — just to mention a few of OBJ's legacies. Yet, he is trying to pretend to be on any moral high ground!

In any case, the man OBJ never won any local, regional or national election on his own accord at any time in his life.

This time around though, OBJ will eat his pounded yam as raw yam.

millions of people like you said even more in 2015 about buhari, that obj endorsed the wrong person. Whoever obj backs is always the president of Nigeria, from the 70s. Mark this one...

Your type of arrogance and chest-beating is worse than that of Nnamdi Kanu, for example. Anyways, na you get your mouth and legs. If you choose to pretend your legs are off the ground and always floating in the clouds, so be it.

Good luck!

Omotolatolulope:
Obasanjo is one of the problems of this country, both in the past and in recent times, this man has no iota of shame and hence has resorted to speaking from both sides of his mouth.

OBJ's word should not be taken seriously by Nigerians, he had the opportunity to make things better in his time but he blew the opportunity he had. The only thing he knows how to do is to criticise the government in power when they are not dancing to his tunes. What a shameless old man! The same person that told us Atiku is not worthy to become president is now falling head-over-heels for him. No shame! No integrity! No reputation whatsoever!

Truer words have never been written about the character OBJ. Well said, Omotolatolulope.

awelekiti:
you're right. Obj may not mean anything to us in the south west but he does all over the country and of course in the entire world. A prophet isn't popular in his country. He's a respected man globally. He played a great role in restoring buhari's USA and UK visa after he was banned for his stance on religion and ethnicity in Nigeria. That's what accorded him the opportunity of visiting the Chatham house in the UK shortly before election in 2015. Now, he's done it again on atiku, the next president.

Were you not the same poster beating your chest with gusto that Tinubu indeed fainted/slumped, was rushed to the hospital and was still bedridden? And when your lies were busted, you started rambling with your tail between your legs?

You've started making these boastful, bogus, unsubstantiated claims about OBJ's prowess again, abi?

Just kontinu, you hear? The political disgrace that will befall you and those you have those morbid sympathies for — including OBJ — post February 16, will not get Part 2. My statement is not a curse; it is just a pragmatic opinion.

Having said all the above, we shall be here to compare posts after February 16 - just under one month away, The Almighty willing.

Naruto87:
Have u all realised this?. The first four years he solidifies his position (like obj) and the next four years (when Buhari doesn't need friends) he will surely deal with all corrupt people like obj. That's why obj and his group of corrupt people are afraid of his return. Buhari isn't the best option but he is a better option than the alternative.

Good thinking.

Sirjamo:
He can write one million letter before February 16, it won't stop us from permanently retiring him and the useless thief he's trying to sell to us.

Its clear to even the blind now that Buhari is going to win the coming election by a wider margin than 2015, the likes of Obj are just preparing the ground for bitter wailing and wild allegations of rigging just to save face.

From the rantings we've been chocked with since 2016, one would think that Buhari will be stoned by the masses wherever he goes to campaign for second term, low and behold, we are witnessing the largest turnout and unimaginable show of love and affection for him by Nigerians all over the length and breath of this country.

The people are behind their President, that has effectively destroyed whatever lies anyone might be peddling, they are the real voters that will pass a referendum on this administration.

Well said all round, Sirjamo.

Shame on you, PDP paid per post nigga.

Buhari stated earlier that he won't show up for the debate. Why did Atiku go to the debate at all because he was already aware Buhari won't show up. He only pulled that stupid trick for his gullible followers like you.

Atiku knows he is no match for the people present at the debate, they would have taken him to the cleaners. He knows that, that is why he is looking for his fellow dullard (Buhari) to debate with.

His flimsy excuse can only fly for dimmits, they are so paper thin and can blow away with the wind.

Why are the majority of Nigerians dumb
Imagine all the presidents that won elections since inception do not attend debate before winning.

In a country like America that has so many smart people, you can never win if you avoid debates.

How can people that claim to be educated or smart vote for any of those two dumb men

Aren't you people ashamed defending stupid people You appear stupider when you do so.


Sowore for President.

Much as I agree with the principle of most of what you've written (and in fact gave the post a "like", I think you're here before your time. Try to espouse them again in the 22nd/23rd century - your views comparing Nigeria to the US in the realm of politics may just begin to hold some water.

But hey, what do I know?

Because kids took over this forum.....
Many of us decided to just watch and comment once in a while.....b4 2015 elections we know how this section was even with obvious support for PDP by the admin and rascal mods like Ngwakwe and Obinoscopy ..both ipob mods.
I am saying it again like i said before 2015, Buhari will win this elections and many people like Doraga and Saraki will receive shockers of their life. They will decamp again to survive.
Bookmark this comment!

Well said.

(The decamping thingy, though, will more likely have to wait until after the elections as far as the more prominent players are concerned. Even as politicians, players such as Dogara will lose a lot of face and the little influence they have left, if they decamp between now and the outcome of the elections.)

Hear Mr. Abubakar: "I regret that I will not be able to go on with this debate due to President Buhari's absence."

In other words, the other debaters already on ground are not worth your salt? That, combined, they're not up to the President in effect?

Is that not what Prof Sagay was saying exactly, and for which some people called for his head?

In any case, who told Mr. Atiku Abubakar that he is worth more than the combination of the other debaters already on the podium for the debate?

OEPHIUS:
We came here for a Presidential debate, not a candidacy debate, and I, Atiku Abubakar can not challenge or question an administration where the man at the helm of the affairs of the nation is not present to defend himself or his policies. After all you cannot shave a man's head in his absence. I do not believe in attacking a man who is NOT here to defend himself. As a leader and former vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, let me first apologise to all Nigerians, my fellow candidates and the moderator for the the APC Presidential Candidates absence in this debate. His non-appearance is a slight on ALL of us and our democracy.

Secondly, with all due respect to my fellow candidates, Fela Durotoye, Oby Ezekwesili, Kingsley Moghalu and to the moderator Mark Sugar and with apologies to all Nigerians here and at home expecting an interesting debate, I regret that I will not be able to go on with this debate due to President Buhari's absence.

I however challenge President Buhari to choose a date and time for a debate where he will be present and I will be there, hopefully with the other candidates as well.

Thank you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Atiku Abubakar
