Choi!!! It must have been the Omo-Agege effect for APC to kom out distant second in Central o...

Ibori is not in active politics again, so it's expected

What's happening in SE is disappointing to say the least, I mean each state edged over 1 million for voters registration o.

Do u have any idea about what's going on Delta south and perhaps North?
U know those places have always been traditional PDP strongholds, abi obi done decimate PDP too for there?

LP won Ughelli Urban with an intimidating margin. There was nothing Agege could do. Only the rural areas delivered some packets of votes to PDP & APC.

Results from South hasn't yet been revealed but LP leads in the two Isoko LGAs. We fear the votes from the creeks, but so far so good, we haven't seen any numbers yet.

LP is clearing North also with exception of Okowa's LGA. I doubt any of PDP or APC will get the required 25%.

OfoIgbo:
You have to know that INEC has systematically disenfranchised the SE.

Do you know that millions of SE PVCs are currently languishing in various forests and cesspits in the east, secretly disposed of, by INEC agents?

Anyway, there are 14 LGAs in Abia, so may be when results from the extra 3 LGAs are added, it will bring the final tally up by nearly another 100,000

Just know that the Fulani rulers of Nigeria, have over the decades made sure that votes in the SE are negligible. Hopefully when PO mounts the saddle he will change it, and ensure that PVCs are issued to every adult in both the SE and SS. Nigeria is in a serious bondage. People are gradually coming to the realisation of this fact.

I'm know the systematic subjugation, but regardless, the performance from SE isn't encouraging. Total PVC collected vs Total vote casts isn't UpTo 50%.

Abi has over a million PVC collected. Atleast, 500k should be guaranteed for LP.

Yamiriflathead:
What's the number of votes LP got in Delta state and who's currently leading now Oshare na?

OBI cleared all LGAs in Central. PDP and APC came distant third and second. LP won Ibori's LGA with a landslide. Results from Central should be getting to 200k+

But Abia could only give 150k. Very disappointed.

Turnout from South East is just too low. Look at the votes we gave LP in Delta/Edo yet these guys couldn't guarantee 800k votes from their end.

I hope Anambra doesn't dissappoint.

aremso:
no he knew notherners cant really turn out for obi so he has calculated well, if i knew obi chances are bright he would have worked with obi, results coming from the north are mad only God can stop BAT. with result from the north, obil will come 3rd over all

BAT isn't even getting the chunk of northern votes. Divide the so called bloc votes into 3 and tell me whether Obi's votes from SE & SS won't cancel them.

Obi is not coming third. Dead that talk and let us face the present realities.

tplayer:
Yeah, he though he had the SS in the bag and that even SE would be a battle ground for him and Obi, and he was ready for it, after all SE has a relatively small voting population.

After this election, no party will try the North to North power rotation again.

Unfortunately for him, SE isn't even a battle ground. It is a total annihilation. Even in SS, you need to see how LP butchered all units in my own zone. We all might just agree that Obi is indeed a force.

Lessons are being learnt and supremacist tendencies being cured. 😂

tplayer:
Wike was just showing political expediency.

He knows OBI can't win, that's why he's not supporting him.

He's supporting BAT cos he has a better xhance.

He took a big risk.

If Obident vote against his candidate in the Guber election, he is a goner.

darfay:
Ogaaa, I'm on ground here and I also voted. LP dey even win Alimosho, the only place they're loosing is Lagos island while ikorodu is still dicey. Apc is loosing big everywhere else from ikeja to ojo, amuwo, ibeju lekki, Eti osa. Na landslide

How many results from Alimosho have you seen? The win isn't landslide like we are getting in Delta, Rivers etc. Some manuvuers from APC could easily balance things up. I might be wrong but this is my own personal "observative" thoughts on Lagos.

tplayer:
I think so. 25% should be achievable.

Atiku na arrogant man. He killed his chances.

25% is achievable for him.

AA thought he had SS in his bag. Reason he failed to concede to any of Wike's demand. An arrogant politician isn't a wise politician. The southern caucus that he banked his hope on are paperweights.

You give and take in life. Already, lessons are been learnt, albeit in a tough way.

darfay:
They voted massively for obi but gave a slightly higher vote to whoever the pdp senate guy is.
Who is winning in warri

LP is sweeping every corner in Warri. APC and PDP are managing to secure the crumbs left. Neither of them will get 20% of the votes cast today in this zone.

I still fear that Omo-agege might throw in some surprise later.

darfay:
I hope Rivers people teach him a lesson come governorship elections.
LP is clearing the entire Lagos, their greatest undoing was not having enough candidates for all elective positions

I still believe BAT will take Lagos but I've adjusted my margin to meet with the present realities. Lagos is indeed a tough battle between LP & APC. Most results released are traditional PDP Strongholds. So it is rather too early to call. LP will come second in all SW state. A very big addition to Obi's emergence.

Wike is a politician. His anger was quit understandable but I was surprised with the way he is pulling support for BAT. He knew about the Obi wave but still went ahead to give BAT the needed boost to get the seat. He could have supported OBI and deprived PDP from getting anything from the state. A win win.

darfay:
Omooo
I'm following the results in isokoland and obi is winning every single polling unit with insane margin, he's getting over 400 votes in some polling unites. I called my cousin and there's already jubilation in my home town, too bad we aren't voting for our son at the Senate

So they couldn't deliver to Onowakpo too? APC seems to be ahead of PDP which is shockingly surprising.

gimakon:
You just day paint PO to be a bad person, reasons, i do not know why.
As you like am, PO will be next president of the republic. Grace of GOD almighty.

Maybe you misquoted the wrong person.

tplayer:
You're right.

People understimate Wike. He may be down but ain't out. Watch out for the votes in lesser-known local governments of Rivers State. APC won't win but it won't be a poor showing.

He should do better than Amaechi.

Wike is fighting for his political survival. He is pulling all his resources to ensure BAT wins.

With the results we have seen so far. BAT is sure of 30% while AA will struggle to get 25%.

Aiel123:
You're right. But Obi was the main cause.
Assuming it was btw Tinubu and AA,PDP will clear delta.
Even the north self no clear... Tinubu is fighting hard. Only Adeleke tried out of all the south PDP caucus.

If Obi wasn't in the picture, another Obi would have been created from any of the southern aspirants aside BAT. The North to North power rotation won't still fly.

Obi is the new Southern PDP in the banner of LP. The damages he caused AA won't be forgotten in a hurry. But was he selfish to have left? Nope... SE hasn't produced president for decades. They voted PDP for years and the party couldn't even reward them with the ticket.

Most of us are bias towards him because of certain injustices.

Yes, Adeleke is trying to pull some votes for AA but BAT is winning Osu with a good margin. Are you seeing what Wike is doing to BAT in rivers? APC might even come second in that state.

AA was totally boxed in southern Nigeria. 😂

Aiel123:
Strange...no
I was ready for anything.
PDP fall my hand big time. In central and Isoko axis LP is first with APC second. Ukwuani tried for PDP though,they stayed close to labor...

I believe PDP miscalculated and overestimated the importance of certain individuals. The lesson learnt by all party now is that they must at all stick to the NORTH & SOUTH power rotation.

North alone can't decide who governs this country. We can easily cancel each other.

Aiel123:
True.
Anybody can win...if this obidients turns to Agege, it's finished.

With what I experience today, Agege has a good stake in the Guber fight.

Don't you find it strange that BAT is outperforming AA in some zones in Delta? What I predicted wasn't what I saw. AA was getting very undeserving votes 😲

DivineT:
Who is winning delta central senatorial?

I've seen some results from Uvwie and Udu and it is a tight race.

garfield1:
What of ughelli

Obi is clearing Ughelli township. APC trailing at the distant back with the results I've seen so far. Results from Agege's stronghold can give APC a push, but LP will win the zone convincingly.

Aiel123:
I tell you.
Unless the south will come in handy ...na LP landslide victory.
Wahala dey for guber for delta..

Guber will be tough. Okowa's influences doesn't extend to South and Central. He should pray his allies won't betray him because with the poor performance of PDP in these zones, loyalties will begin to shift.

Central massively voted LP. Every corner, every unit, they turned up massively for OBI. Unless the Ijaws (South) come to the rescue, PDP might not even see %25. Onowakpo is delivering to APC massively. Even though LP is leading, he is bridging the gap.

Dafinone gave Amori close marking in Uvwie also.

famology:
It's the same pattern in Edo. LP dusting in most places except Edo north but my surprise is Apc coming second in most of the polling units won by LP.

With this trend, APC might come second in SS.

Aiel123:
Wetin my eyes see for delta today is unexplainable but not unexpected...
LP will win with landslide in Delta... unless delta south comes through for PDP ( Isoko seems to have fallen to APC)
Benue...I have known it already.
At this rate,PDP will come third in NC.

Oniovo mavor? It was a total massacre by LP. They flanked all corners. 😂

In Uvwie, PDP could barely get above 10 votes per unit. It will even surprise you to know that APC came second in so many polling units.

In my unit, they got only 2 votes while APC got 4. For the first time in history, PDP was relegated.

garfield1 is still "shocked" 😂 😂

WarriAproko:
he has lost the whole of delta central and delta south

Surprisingly, APC is coming second in most polling unit in Uvwie. The ones I've seen So far has been shocking.

LP gave a widdeeeeee margin 😂

garfield1:
Delta south nko

Nothing yet. I just left my polling unit.

PDP won senate in my ward APC came second. A close marking from Dafinone.

Divit:
Make una Dey use this una fake results Dey console una self till the real one steps up.
Sha Dey prepare to to learn to pronounce Atiku name correctly or to be humble beside tinubu government person coz one of these two is your president not Obi

Believe whatever you want to believe.

garfield1:
Where is that? Tinubu is beating atiku there

In Uvwie. Ward 10 unit 20.

From most units I've seen in my ward. APC is dragging second with PDP while LP takes a distant lead.

In my LGA in Uvwie

Ward 10 unit 20
LP: 75
APC: 04
PDP: 02

😂 😂

garfield1 I'm back. I told you I will be coming with my ward's result. 😂 😂

Ward 10 unit 20
LP: 75
APC: 04
PDP: 02

😂 😂

Still in doubt? Cc: darfay

garfield1:
Yes,delta will go to pdp narrowly because of delta south and apc should get 25% or more.the problem is aks

One of us will be right today. Getting ready to go to my polling unit.

Will give you feedback. I'm too sure of the OBI wave in these streets. DELTA will swing to Obi.

darfay:
There was a colonial document where the Erowha people of isoko south claimed to have never migrated from anywhere and were aboriginal to their current location (their esoteric speech might corroborate that) but they've suddenly jumped on the bandwagon of Benin migrants not to be out done by their neighbors.
Ife ties with okpe is laughable at best and might be a way to assert a distinct identity. I have always heard isoko people say that okpe people migrated from okpe isoko but again we cannot know for sure if the authenticity of these claims and yes ikiagbodo is one of the villages of olomoro clan

I hear they're currently protesting in warri, please y'all should stay safe

Amongst the Edoid groups, Bini was the only sub-tribe to build a flourishing empire, the rest were pretty republican. So it is understandable why they all try to establish some links with Bini.

It could be possible that Isoko and Urhobo ancestors both formed Okpe. My own clan pays homage to Isoko and Olomu. There was a lot of internal migration between Urhobo and Isoko. I only find it strange that all of a sudden, they all begin to forge an ancestral link with Bini while dismissing their internal origins.

As it is, we can't know the true origin of the Edoid people. We are only certain it is somewhere in Edo.

RedboneSmith:
Origins in Edo North does not mean that the current occupants of Edo North birthed the Urhobo. In the same way, the origins of Indo-Europeans from the Ukraine area doesn't mean Ukrainians birthed the Indo-Europeans.

In the deep time when these events and first migrations were happening, none of the modern ethnic identities Ẹsan, Afenmai, Benin, Urhobo, etc, would have made any real sense to the peoples of the era.

From a linguistic POV, an Edo North origin for all Edoid speakers remains by far the best theory in scholarly circles till date.

The Benin migrations which are very alive in oral traditions belong to the era of Benin imperial expansion, and those Benin migrants already found Edoid-speaking people on ground in Urhobo/Isoko and Ẹsan areas.

Do you know any research you can recommend to me as regards the Edo North origin of the Edoid people? I would love to look more into it and maybe update my historical knowledge.
