hopelink1: what do you mean , I am an engineer so lay low . You don't attack me by correcting my spellings . Go and slip

Will all due respect , your stupidity is nauseating.

Please, keep shut.

Is there a thing about being stupid and posting in support of PDP?

NewNigeriaMind: Define generally please. The point being made is, even if the policy has not fully yielded results, sane and sensible minda can see the potentials.

And waec data changes every year. what makes you think the student performance would improve next year and what are the chances the top states this year will retain the position next year.

Dont mind some of these block heads. Infact, virtually none of the Candidates who sat for May/June 2013 WAEC exam received the learning tablets. So how does a sane individual based the success of a tablet with the result of an exam that was conducted before the learning tablet distribution. I have no doubt the state govt educational reforms will bring about wonderful results.

Aregbe will surely be declared the winner, anything less than 500,000 votes for Aregbe is a kind of loss, since i know he will win , but i expect a landslide.

Laugh wan wound me o

datbay: This is not to castigate or throw blames. I watched channels TV this morning and was surprised to see how far away states like IMO and ABIA states are getting prepared to curtail the spread of the Ebola virus in their various states.While Oyo state which is less than two hours to Lagos state[b] is not putting any measure in place[/b].Going by the number of people going to Lagos from Ibadan and vice versa on a daily basis.Our govt in Oyo state must be proactive and not reactive.

The part in bold is not true.

I heard jingles on the radio, and symptoms of the EVD, and people with such should report to "wherever" in ibadan.

Unfortunately, i barely cared to listen properly to the "wherever".

My predictions:


roughly 800,000 voters will vote today.

Aregbesola will win with over 500,000 votes.



APC will be declared winner tomorrow afternoon.

That Enugu state deputy governor had better resign, he should not allow those shameless lawmakers impeach him embarassingly over chicken rearing

shegsky: See you, so,you are saying that Apc national chairman John oyegun is from osun state abi. I rest my case .

My bad !, i thought you are referring to Bisi Akande, the former chairman.

You cant blame the APC from moving its secretariat temporarily to osun state, the "federal might" is what PDP has, and what APC must be wary of.

I hope the official is not the one trying to force us to "drink zobo" with this incredible news

shegsky: See levels !why is APC national chairman in Osun at these time, while his PDP counterpart is in Abuja reading newspapers and zipping coffee.

One is from Osun state, the other is from Bauchi state.


Common sense no suppose scarce now.

I fear for we present youths, we barely now reason objectively and identify the truth, talkless of speaking the truth.

“The axe of impeachment should
descend on Elechi for
incompetence, gross misconduct,
reckless borrowing, loss of focus
and abysmal performance”.
Ebele said governor has imposed
starvation, taxation, deprivation
and victimisation on the people of
Ebonyi State, adding that for over
seven years, the governor has not
completed and commissioned any
single project.

How true is the 7 yrs and no project completed or commissioned ?

If that is true, then something must be wrong with the populace.

Good news .! I hate APGA and Labour parties thoroughly., they are a very fake opposition, and should be spat out, since they are neither cold nor hot. If you will play opposition, stand out and play opposition.

But, what we see is the biggest icons of these two parties (Mimiko and Obi) running under the umbrella when they think is convenient, i have said on another thread that such parties will collapse with a function of a short time, and it is playing out now. Much respect to Tinubu. All efforts must be geared to prevent a one party state in Nigeria.

The one and only sin is that he joined APC, any other reasons are counterfeit.

I remembered he was the best thing for the ibos from May 2011 - Late 2012, it was okorocha for president everywhere on this forum by the ibos, then news filtered in he decamped to APC, all of a sudden, he was a disaster for the people of Imo and was called a mallam, and a chronic underachiever.

idumuose: As usual,the putrid smell of the comment above bears your trademark.You sound bitter each time you post comments.

I understand the harsh economic condition is having it's toll on you ‎​​​​​ but sounding bitter and spilling all your sick bile won't solve your problems bro.

Harsh economic conditions under who?

OP, that is how it is done in civilised places.

I guess, prolonged absurdity has made many people call the normal , the abnormal.

I knew votes were inflated in the SE and SS region.

The best way to know is to assess the voters turnout in the local election and the presidential election 7 days apart

See wetin EFCC turn this man to.

SenseiX: the president wants Ribadu, the state leadership of the party feel they already have too much strong candidates and feel Ribadu will be a usurper, Hassan Tukur, Jonathan's personal friend is a close relative of ribadu from adamawa and so are many GEJ aides, in bayelsa,Seriake,was a featherweight but with GEJ support, he got the ticket ahead of stronger opponents, Ribadu's only chance is that the president wants him........

That is why i like the publicity the man is given at the moment, If he is picked as APC gubernatorial candidate, then wonderful news, he will contend against a divided PDP with lots of heavyweight with self interest.

TheImp: politically Ribadu is a featherweight, in 2011 presidential elections, GEJ won Ribadu 's ward in adamawa, he even finished 3rd overall behind GEJ, and buhari who was,2nd so the PDP offering him its ticket ahead of established and popular candidates like, Marwa, Gundiri is one he can't turn down, PDP has won every election in adamawa since 1999, even GEJ floored buhari there in 2011 so don't say what you don't know

If Ribadu is featherweight, PDP must be really dumb to be chasing a featherweight.

But, i know PDP is not dumb to be desperately chasing Ribadu.

SenseiX: the APC Is non existent in adamawa, Atiku is the only one left and his godson Boss Mustapha will be the party's candidate so Ribadu has to take the PDP option, also all the major political actors in the state Tukur,Birma,Dan Suleiman,Gindiri.Marwa, Boni Haruna are all in the PDP , there's nothing for the apc there, PDP has always won in adamawa and even when nyako decamped to APC, they won an adamawa HOA bye election defeating nyako's candidate with thrice his votes

You are underestimating the name of Ribadu in a local election.

defunct ACN gave a good showing at the last gubernatorial election

With results from the 21 local government areas in the state collated, a former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, has reclaimed the governorship seat he lost 10 days ago. The ruling Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate garnered 302, 986 votes to beat his Action Congress of Nigeria challenger, Markus Gundiri, who polled 260, 405 votes. The candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, Buba Marwa, was only been able to win 107, 564 votes. Mr. Nyako won 13 of the 21 local goverments while the ACN candidate prevailed in eight. By winning the majority of votes and 25 per cent of votes in two-thirds of the local government areas in the state, Mr. Nyako has fulfilled the constitutional requirements to be pronounced winner. Mr. Marwa, a former military administrator and presidential aspirant, was not able to win anywhere - See more at: http://www.premiumtimesng.com/politics/3679-murtala-nyako-wins-adamawa-governorship-election.html#sthash.QuOrdOxx.dpuf

Ribadu has more than enough to win with APC without all those supposed heavyweight.

But, the initial lie was he is set to move to PDP.

PDP should continue to woo and give Ribadu more popularity and clout needed, he will contest as an APC candidate, and the rest will be victory

Omisore is acting true to type. I have suspected he is a thoroughly empty barrel,


How can you be running away from a debate for the 2nd time running?



If anyone should run, it should be the incumbent

It will be a close contest in 2015, if it stays at Jonathan vs Buhari.

in 2011, Jonathan vs Buhari was like this

SW 58% of votes 5% of votes (poor voters turnout=33%)
SE 97% of votes 0.9% of votes (above average voters turnout= 66%)
SS 95% of votes 0,4% of votes (above average voters turnout= 68%)
NE 35% of votes 58% of votes (average voters turnout= 54%)
NC 62% of votes 31% of votes (below average voters turnout= 46%)
NW 33% of votes 60% of votes( average voters turnout= 53%)

In 2015
SE /SS is a lost cause for APC, most especially the SE, the APC will need to strive to mobilise its members enmasse to come out and vote and with party agents at polling booths ensure votes are not inflated at polling booths .
If the APC does its homework well it can get roughly 7-10% of the votes from SS, and 2-4% of the votes from SE.

NE. No thanks to insurgency, voters turnout might be low, or in some places, no voting. Adamawa and Taraba will be APC's weakest link in the region, If Ribadu's gets APC gubernatorial ticket and wins the adamawa bye election in 3 months time, then only Taraba will be the weakest link. APC stronger platform will be of help in 2015, and it can get at least 70% of votes in this region.

NW. For me, this is the biggest opportunity zone for APC and not the SW zone, as such more attention should be focused in this zone.

The campaigns must be massive and mobilisation needs to be great for improved voters turnout, with that a 75 -80% of votes is feasible.

NC : weakest link looks like Plateau and Benue state. States needing massive campaign kwara, kogi and maybe Nassarawa.
APC should get 45 -50% of votes in this region.

SW: This region is dicey, a vice presidential candidate from the region will boost the chances of APC. Buhari candidacy will be entertained with mixed reactions, a fashola candidacy as running mate will improve voters turnout. Since, APC still has stronghold within 4 states in this region, it will not do badly, but i doubt, it will soar, as some will expect.

APC should get 55% -60% of votes in this region.


Overall results: APC should win on total votes cast.

The real one
