@beaf

Yes, those child voters are the one who got the Goodluck biscuits, and that was how they were lured out to vote. A friend in the North said most of the underaged kids mostly voted in PDP strong areas. And dont make it sound as if GEJ wasnt the REALLY desperate candidate here. If he had lost, im sure the whole of Nigeria would still be burning courtsey of his militants folks.

@poster: valid points raised here. the truth is that, why would a region reported of mass rigging and electoral fraud during the NASS election be left unprobed? Most of the election in Bayelsa and Delta are been currently cancelled. And theres serious reports of rigging sprees all over the SS and SE. Shame I come from that side .

Lagosboy:
Well , the dynamics of Nigerian politics have changed forever!!

I agree that the SW has done well by voting out the rougues. What was more pleasing to me was the SW elections were largely free of the sophisiticated rigging in other regions. It gives me hope that younger ones can win election without a god father if they have the clout, money and brain.

If CPC can get 3 to 4 states in the north on saturday and develops these statesin 4 years the other PDP states wil fall like a pack of cards.

A New dawn  - like the one in 1999,2003 or 2007

abeg i tire for new dawn -  i rather have darkness  - at least it is real reflection of things

Atiku will come  and offer New dawn in 2015  -  you know Nigerians are very fickle  

it is still insanity to expect good to come out  -    GEJ true actions is already been reflected  -

GEJ sacked a internal minister not based on any issues relating to the internal chaos or country matters  but the sacking was based

on

internal partly ramblings.

karl max:
Yes elections was rigged,
Yes election was not free and fair it was rigged by CPC(Coup Plotters Congress) and the proof was all over foreign and local media they rigged and broke the law. By using child voters!!!!

Gbawe ati Lagosboy,
you guys have transferred our discourse here?
El-Rufai is an extremely intelligent man but he needs to tone down his hot headedness.
That ANPP/ACN comment was too simplistic, childish and unexpected of a political figure.
Why will GEJ cut a deal with ANPP?
I know he is a inept and a bit dull but not that dull.Is he?
What will ANPP offer him?

Gbawe:
For supplying an article based on what El-Rufai said? Anyway what El-Rufai writes below is the part worth reading IMO. El-Rufai , IMO , speaks the truth for those who live their lives using tangible logic and real evidence that can assist almost scientifically accurate deductions. No successful person , at least not any I know, rely on 'goodluck' and a belief in miracles that leads them to disregard facts while maintaining that things will have a different outcome to what the real facts point out is likely to happen.

First of all, I am not divided along ethnic/religious lines - muslims/christians, north /south

Am from the north but I hate fulanii and kano people , I don't hate christians nor southerner in General

Am sad now I voted for Buhari he lost but that's okay I accept all the results except in Kaduna - iv lived there for 8 years and I can say GEJ didn't get up to a million there not even half of a million, but typing this using my blackberry can't help matters so its off my mind

But what's in my mind is that am young very young compared to other people here - am not part of those underaged voters if that's what you are thinking  Graduated from High School last year so u can guess my age but I care about my future and I should be and am scared I want to be in a Better country than what it is now if I graduted from Uni though I believe Goodluck would help am sorry to say he can't do the change we need, he would bring change of course but now what we should get,

You see, its beyong my imagination how PDP controls Nigeria sorry Owns Nigeria Governorns, National assembly and the Presidency in the last 12 years it was a pity what they did to our country , 

They are corrupt, very we all know that they don't help us our educational system,health sector is in rambles now GEJ would fix that but he can't do that much I have to say Corruption is there, and he can't fight corrupt - the money he spent on his campaign is stagerring
Now to fight corruption he has to step on toes, big toes he can't he can't --- the mouth that feed him ( sorry for the --- I forgot the quote )
He has to get IBB,OBJ to show an example to people but he can't remebber he said IBB was his mentor, OBJ is his GodFather, Annenih is close to him, PDP is corrupt and he is part of them he can't fight them basically he can't really fight corruption, 
So in budgets, we hear contracts and approval but the money would be ,  Well gone to private pockets ,
Please to Nigerians here, not to diasporans how do you like the police? Huh ? Corrupt people but money are allocated but it gets missing what happened to former IGPs of recent history, balogun,sunday ehindero and mike (iv forgoten his name the one before the one before ringim - took a loan didn't pay back that help destroyed the bank, the police are paid little salary but we heard over N1 Trillion was to pay the salaries of government officials who do not perform, a policeman with his family- wife children, food school fees, e.t.c should finance that how , ? Am sure Jonathan can't stop paying high salaries why he is part of them and the fellow pdp people wont allow him to do that,  Greed is bad really , 

So this write up is getting long so let me be short hencefort, GEJ would help Nigeria and make a change but he can't relly do that pertaining to Corruption for example and is one of the bane of Nigerias dewvelopment as we all know that but what iis beyond my imagination is that people wouldn't care about the country,state thay wouldn't vote for who is better or who they think is right but would vote along ethnic/religious lines this is evidenced in the north where people voted for buahari well and in the south where people voted for jonathan because he is part of them,I.e from the relion and region this is very sad indeed, a thred here was to congratulate Igbo and Yorubas for voting Goodluck not congratulating change if they believe Goodluck would bring the much needed change , simply is it that Nigerians don't want change ? Well most people don't but I do , 
I regret the violence in the north, but the violence isn't the answer. The northerners should know that they were not born with the presidency neither is their right, , 
I wouldn't blame anyone but the PDP government for this well rhetorically if they didn't win this wouldn't happen  but let me be serious here, those people creating havoc are almajirai and some illetraties unemployed poor people now to my understanding you are using your phone (smartphone most likely) or laptop,desktop to view this and that isn't affordable to those guys which means you are not that poor (even though I am. ) so no one here would join those crazy people, because you have a future, job or something you can hold on to those guys don't if they have jobs, or have some little money they wouldn't do such , would a banker,teacher from the north do this ? No because at least they have job and money so unemployment is really the cause that's why no body here on NL would join the fight even a northerner like me, because like me I am in school and they are not so if we have a president who can provide jobs many crisis like this would be avoidable ,

Am sad not for my region but for my country, remeber US said nigeria would disintegrate into two by 2015 I don't want that personally I do go to the south to enjoy what I don't get in north I don't want a visa to do that yes maybe am selfish for that reason but I just don't ,

But like Abraham Lincoln said "a house divided against itself cannot stand "

--
I hardly create threads, I know I will receive some bashing but duhh
And can I create a thread about US in this section without getting it moved? I have an interesting thread I tell ya .

Bye,  Much love to my southerners people and my northerners

Chrisbenogor:
The SS was just looking for an opportunity to punish the west and produce their own

gadogado:
what people are saying is that gej could not have possibly won with the margins he won by not that the win is disputed per say, but him winning 40% of sokoto votes is somewhat hard to believe.

DaCreative:
Ok, even if the alleged deducted 40% is added back, GEJ still won using my calculations as follows:

Buhari's current votes is 12,214,853

Let x equals the 40% (i.e 40/100) deducted

60/100 = 12,214,853
40/100 = x

Cross multiplying

X  =  8,143,235

thus 12,214,853 + 8,143,235  =  20,358,088

GEJ's votes is 22,495,187 which is still more than 20,358,088.


So da old man should just accept d loss and try again next term,  and stop being a bad Looser!!!

deols:
Oh GoD, where did these people come from? The presidency should consider taking education seriously. Adult literacy classes should henceforth be accessible to all. The first lady should be made a patron and be registered as the first student to encourage the populace.


NO INSULT ME OOOOOOOOOOO. .lol
