those who want to stay away are free to do so...

if my memory serves me right, the highest percentage of voter turn in Nigeria is about 42%...

so people not turning out in numbers won't be anything new or revolutionary except of course voter turnout is less than 10%... now that would be an eyebrow raiser...

but forcing voters to stay home should not be permitted...

Of course, intimidating or forcing them to stay away is a No No.
But if the voter apathy is less than 10% as you said, then the politicians may sit up and take the masses seriously next time.

No refelendum no erection in biafla


They should just impose one aboki on that their flat heads as administrator jare

Believe, I will be happy if an Aboki gets there. Maybe, then the Igbo leaders will stop playing the ostrich.

ivandragon:
I think they have, whatever relevance they have now is the momentum from the early part of the agitation when the group was putting its message across in a fairly intelligent & fact based manner...


the moment they started insulting other tribes/ethnic groups, boasting, issued threats & turned kanu into a tingod, the struggle deviated from its noble trajectory...

The bold. That was Kanu. But concerning this election, I think the masses should stay away. It's high the political class earn the respect and admiration of the masses.

EricIyke:
Am not an IPOB member but that doesn't mean I shouldn't support them.
I won't sabotage nor betray the struggle, its all stage by stage.
Lets try this one first and see.
I don't wanna be among those that castigated Nnamdi Kanu but never came up with any other strategy or idea.
Have you not been voting for years?
We've been voting but nothing has changed.
We've tried voting, it didn't work, lets try boycotting.

The man you are arguing with benefits from the current government. So it's in his interest to see that his principal wins.
But like I said earlier, this election should concern the political class, the political jobbers, their families and friends. They should go out there and exercise their franchise. Afterall they benefit hugely from skewed system.

Stella, you and your family and friends and associates can go and que up and vote next Saturday. The same with your political rivals and their families and friends and associates.
It's high time you guys labour for the booty of office.

ivandragon:
ipob are contradicting themselves & the relevance of their struggle has been corrupted...


if you are agitating from a society where your rights & freedoms are valued & respected, why then are you threatening others who have a different view of things?


or is it a matter of 'my way being the only way'?


you claim to fight for freedom, but you don't want others to be free...


ipob should just take a back seat & reinvent itself...

it has lost relevance & is now under the influence of miscreants...

I agree with you, that they shouldn't force or threaten anybody who actually want to vote. But saying they have lost relevance is far from the truth. Enugu LG election should have corrected that impression.
To the topic, I am of the opinion that it's high time the political class and the family fight amongst themselves for who should rule or not. Let the masses take a back seat while those who benefits most from winning elections go out there and vote in whomever they want. Maybe things may actually change.

Whistle way dey scatter Brain. I love Nigeria.

Will like you guys to provide links to your site. News about Abia is so scanty.

This is a beautiful thread, please don't derail it. You can open a thread and make your accusations.

Partnerbiz:
Yes you pay all.

After expiration of your tenancy, you will now pay what they call mesne profit.

Mesne profit is equivalent to rent.


Btw, put yourself in your Landlord's shoes ooo..
u no wan pay rent abi?

You were the only one that mentioned Mesne profit. I was already thinking that Nairalanders are daft.

Back to topic.
A landlord does not run a charity home. So any day spent in his premises is meant to be paid for and no court in Nigeria will ask a tenant not to pay. Mesne profit is the money you pay to your landlord for the duration of your quit notice or while you are in court trying to get more grace period or while looking for another place to stay.

mgbadike81:
I have been voting all my adult life and the condition of Anambra state and Nigeria have been getting worse instead of better. this times around, I'm boycotting because I can't continue been a fool for the benefit of polithieficians like Obiano,Peter obi,Tony Nwoye,gej etc.

Let the political class and their families vote this time around. maybe things may be different.

Kai. this man mouth ehh

The sad thing is that some people will still defend this madness.

All of you posting pictures are silly

BUHARIjubrin:
So we should clap for him

He made his money from nigerians so its common sense if he spends it on Nigerians .

Non-indegens and Muslims better look elsewhere cos the money is not for you.

Reason small with your brain now

naptu2:
Nkoyo Ibori?

The same thought crossed my mind.

jusRadical:
From the Facebook comments, you will observe that only muslims are indirectly supporting this madness.

You dey mind them. Next now they will tell you that it's a religion of PEACE.

whateverkay:
As far as I'm concerned this might be consensual. Trust any female at your own peril. No Emir will force anyone into marriage let alone an underage girl. Islam frowns at such and propagandas like this are peddled by IPOB group who are known to be enemies of Islam.


Before you quote me, the thread says 17 yrs old girl

IPOB must be the new Devil in town. Blame it on IPOB.

Ogbu mma anaghi ekwe mma ga ya n' azu

DCONE1:
it is not compulsory to wear hijab .

Never said it was compulsory. But the Muslims make it seem as if that is a mark of a devout Muslim.
Guess the rich must be reading a different Quran.

Looting on end. Sai Baba

I was beginning to think that these people have born again overnight.

Am yet to understand the hatred some people have for Saraki.

I was beginning to miss this fellow

I have never seen this lady on Hijab. Neither have I seen her sisters wearing one.
She is beautiful though.

The decay in government establishment will dismay the even the devil.

NeeKlaus:
Kalu Orji? Of all Igbos? No wonder he has been running his mouth upandan and sucking up Buhari's stool.


If this guy can be President, then Okorocha will definitely be Vice President. These two will just connive and sell us to Ethiopia.

Ethiopia na country. He will simply ask Dangote to make a bid and fiam! Nigeria is sold.

Boycott or not, someone will emerge winner. But what those advocating for boycott are saying, whether they vote or not there isn't going to be a change in the way things are done.
Thus, let's boycott this election, and let the political class slug it out among themselves. In simple terms, let the best rigger emerge winner and take all the bounty.

Unik3030:
if u like boycott election n even everything till thy kingdom comes, all I know is that election will hold n a winner must emerge simply because the aspirants must have relatives and well wishers who will come out to vote against all odds. all I see here is an advantage for apc to rig using federal might n install another okorocha in anambra state n that will surely frustrate all ipob agenda in anambra because the new apc governor must satisfy his paymasters. so who is d looser? is it d fg or d igbos?

Believe me APC... Winning the Anambra tuber polls will be a wake call to Igbo political class, to start thinking more about their people's interest.

Initially I didn't support this election boycott of a thing. But then, whether the masses vote or not, things are not likely to change. So let these guys boycott the elections and let the political class struggle among themselves for who will win.
Maybe, just maybe, things might change. I will even be happy if a Party like APC.... wins in Anambra so that Enugu, Ebonyi, and Abia political class may know that their people's interest really matter.
It's just shameful that the Nigerian Army will lay siege in Igbo land and non of the leaders will ask questions.

The way these guys lie ehn.
