That's very good of him. He has been constituting nuisance in the centre thereby ridiculing Nigeria in the face of international community. They want to win election with Northern candidate against popular demand for Southern president.

What popular demand? The rigging in Rivers and Lagos State is what you call popular demand?

More invalid votes than LP votes.

NwekereNdokl:
Keep deceiving yourself. E go clear for your eye soon

Are you high? Anu mgboko

You say lose as if you know who he voted. What if he voted LP?

The only thing Labour did was to handover everything to APC. See the house of reps results. LP and PDP combined was higher than APC but APC won.

Nazgul:
I want to ask a question...

If candidate A wins 9 states and gets 25% in more than 24 states.

And candidate B wins 15 states, has higher numerical figures but doesn't get 25 % in 24 states.

Who would be declared winner?

Neither

He changed his polling unit. It was at VGC last time.

osazsky:
u didnt do sampling in statitics..if from 1000 u arent getting vote i dont see u getting it from 100k

This is silly.

If the 1000 are from particular areas and none from others, how would it be representative?

Every Ali and their dog have become statisticians now, huh?

There are 176,000+ polling units. You have all probably not seen up to 1,000 of them. Too early to draw conclusions.

Sunnyski:
The total figures are not the same. It's rigged.
This polling unit should be canceled

Not everyone votes for all the positions.

Thought she usually voted at her father's place. Much smoother voting at Ogwashi than in Abia.

Nigeria is different from those countries. There are court cases to decide who the actual candidate is up till a week before the election. What happens if the candidate is changed?

CaptainFM1:
Pls tell me.

You people don't read.

Electoral college does not exist in Nigeria.

In the US, each state gets electoral college seats equivalent to the number of legislators (house of reps+senators) that the state has (based essentially on population) and whichever candidate wins that state gets the electoral college seats for that state.

Hilary Clinton had more total votes but not as much electoral college seats.

If Nigeria used Electoral college system, then states such as Lagos, Kano, Borno, Rivers, Katsina, Kaduna and Oyo will be must win as each states election will be winners take all. Obi will stand no chance in that scenario. States like Ekiti, Ebonyi and Bayelsa, no one will bother campaigning.

What are you writing na, you smoke weed ni?

Shut up and go read.

na2016:
It will be a rerun between the two highest candidates. A critical part to even look at is if the 25% in 24 states doesn't include FCT, what will happen? That may involve going to court for an interpretation.

Not the two highest candidates. The potential rerun is between the candidate with the highest amount of votes and among the others, the one who won the most number of States.

Also, the 24 States does not have to include the FCT. Shagari had 12 out of 19 and was considered to have met the conditions. You only need 24. If you have 23 States, then you can use 25% in FCT to meet it up.

You guys don't read the constitution, you just assume.

Go and read section 134 of the constitution thoroughly.

The runoff is between the candidate with the highest votes and of the other candidates, the won who most amount of states.

Below is the section 134 in its entirety.

Section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

and

No brother, it's the candidates with 1st and 2nd highest that will go for runoff, the is no mention of how many state you win in our Constitution. You can even win the election by not winning the highest number of vote sef, that's rare though, you only need to perform well in the States you lose and that's all.

You guys don't read the constitution, you just assume.

Go and read section 134 of the constitution thoroughly.

The runoff is between the candidate with the highest votes and of the other candidates, the won who won the highest number of votes.

Make sure you read section 134 before replying

success1smyn:
The constitution is very clear. The candidate with the highest votes without spread and the second highest votes will go into runoff.

Not second highest votes but highest amount of states won.

Hassanmaye:
Thank you

He is wrong, you are telling him thank you.

Workch:
there will be a rerun between first and second

Not first and second.

Rerun is between the candidate with the highest votes and of the remaining candidates, the won who won most states.

All this just to sell the money.

Bro I'm neither religious but masturbation has finished me. Right now I can't even keep a girlfriend or have sex because I'm suffering from chronic erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculations due to excessive masturbation for years. Once I insert my dick in a pusssy I cum within 2 seconds. Last year I stopped masturbating around July. I vowed never to do it again. I kept the momentum since that time till this year January and I just found myself masturbating again. I have mastuebated twice today. I feel so bad and worthless. I'm in my late 20s, an introvert who barely socialises. But the depression I have been battling lately also pushes me to masturbating. My whole life is just going in a direction I don't like. I even look so lean lately. I hate myself!

Masturbation does not cause premature ejaculation. If anything, it causes delayed ejaculation. Why do you think people prepare for sex by first wanking? As for erectile dysfunction, you have probably been masturbating to porn.

How do someone taking hard drugs channel it into something good?

For meth, Channel it into becoming a IndecentStar because the drug can make you hard for hours.

It will ven take 4 weeks before your money reflects "all things been equal". But with the crowd now it could take 2 months

That's for people paying above 500k at the CBN.

Those who paid below at commercial banks got credited within hours.

kevclin:
Obi is winning Taraba State & Adamawa State. Obi's campaign in Adamawa State was strategic. The zones he visited in Adamawa determines the outcome of every election in Adamawa State.

Una too like to joke sha.

Oya resign then.
