Please stop saying this. Tinubu didn't slay any tribe. He's for all. Hausa/Fulanis contributed to his victory likewise some Igbos.

which Igbo?

Elibaba1:
Shettima is coming to kill . He did it with his Bokoharam boys. Tinubu might not be spared. Shettima is an evil man!

thats what your pastor told u right?

D same pastor that told u Tinubu will not become president

AbdulMagaji:
Nigerian youths, we would never get it right again in any election.


Nigerians where deceived by INEC on BVAS stating that it would transmit the election results to the INEC server from the various poling units.


What did we get..



A manual collation of the results at ward levels, with correction fluid littering all over the result sheets.



Some youths are smiling simply because of tribal affiliation, while some are in a deep state of mourning simply because all hope is lost.





Once again, the choice of the more progressive Nigerian youths have been truncated, squashed and trampled upon using Dollar bills.




Were are the leaders of tomorrow? I ask




Where are the youths?


Our grandparents are obviously robbing the future off this country.


No job after years of university..



No marketable skill because they cost money.


Youth of 40 yrs are scared of picking our girls for marriage simply because our girls have resorted to befriending our political -grandparents for survival.



Single mothers are growing tremendously!



Because of poverty among the youths, many are scared of starting a home.



When you look at an average Nigerian youth, all you see is hunger and anger.




For how long would this continue? I ask, is it till we get to 70 yrs?


ABI POVERTY NO DEY TIRE UNA?

WHY DO WE PREFER TO SUFFER IN THE MIST OF PLENTY?



Prostitution is now self- employment


Yahooo is on the rise so as to meet up and not lag behind..



Nigerian youth! I would ask again! , When would you become the leaders of tomorrow as promised? If paraventure you survive police brutality.







Nigerian youths please wake up now and take back your country!




Gen. Gowon and Buhari became heads of state in Nigeria before 35! , The later is still in charge of leadership in Nigeria.



Please wake up youths and take over your country!

u igbos shouldn’t shout betrayal ooo cos nobody will join u in this

U are just bad losers

We are expecting u to go back to Biafra or death anytime from now

joyd200:
Your analysis is incorrect. Both South East and South South vote are incapable to guarantee Obi's victory?

The Truth is Obi is an impatient political. Again he lacks understanding of Nigerian politics and democracy: Nigerian democracy is a game of number form through parties merger and alliance in all geopolitical space of the country. APC for instance is a party formed by ACN (SW), CPC (NW), ANPP(NE), APGA(AP)+New PDP + PDP Spoilers (e.g., the G5 and faceless spoilers).
If the SE understand enough politics, Obi should have been patience to work with Atiku/Obi Ticket. He would hv finish tenure as VP and become president after Atiku. Atiku will never forgive Obi, mark my words. As an opportunist, Obi joined LP without structure (at least for rigging), adequate finance, experience and even presence in core rural areas, where the major votes come from. Now, he has not only personally lost but wasted the Igbo chance of presidency in 4/8 years time after BAT.
SE can still control the damage by merging PDP with APGA, and other small 13 political parties. Then project Soludo/a strong Northern Muslim to contest against Tinubu in 4 years time. Otherwise, SE would have to wait till 16 years when the North do 8 years after BAT. What a penalty to pay for Obi's impatience, Wike's greed (wanting to be president, when SS, i.e. Jonathan, already did recently, and lastly, Atiku's pride and dependency on using religion and tribalism to ascent to power.

Tinubu used them and beat them all.

I will vote a soludo n kwankwanso combo but not against tinubu

Probably against any candidate, we will make Igbo president possible in d next 8 years if igbos don’t go back to Biafra or death n start insulting us for 7 years only to come back a year to election n start hailing us again

Aaoauxin:
I'm new in this forum.... but truth be told if Tinubu is people choice, where are the people celebrating him... By this time in 2015 we no hear word. Every where scatter...... You people celebrating Tinubu's victory should hit the street... We want to see you guys... The nation is actually moaning....

your new account u mean?

Fut9ure:
Reason why I said everyone should share this message

So that posterities will hold yorubas for making us lose this opportunity

y are u blaming Yoruba again
U igbos only voted your son n Yorubas voted for all

Tell me if any outsider won just 1 state in the south east?

But obi won many elsewhere

HEBEI:
Tinubu was an excellent politician, but I repeat, 'he is not fit to rule this country now.

I voted Obi and I will vote him again if given another chance under the same circumstances.

I am not a fan of Obasanjo. Whatever condition that we find ourselves in this country today, Obasanjo laid the foundation. His government spent billions of dollars on electricity to put us in the perpetual darkness we found ourselves today. He took election rigging to an ignoble hight. Who does not know about the incessant political murders that characterized his government.
When people, especially easterners glorify that man, I laughed.

Buhari led the worst government ever, but he achieved what Obasanjo and Jonathan could not do for the igbos- the second Niger bridge.

I laugh when I see igbos celebrating obj endorsement

People don’t like him in Yoruba land n he’s of no political value, as a matter of fact people will never go for any candidate he endorse

I said it many time here that even obj daughter n cousin lost election in front of obj house for u to know the people don’t like him at all

U can see as tinubu won obj polling unit despite endorsing obi

Fut9ure:
We now see exactly where the problem is in Nigeria
North is really not the problem of Nigeria

But the South west

They are taking advantage of the fact that north and south east are not in good terms due to the war fought in the past to continue romancing the north

That devilish mentality and snake like nature will stop one day
Look at adeboye that led a protest during Jonathan era kept mute
South west got no reason to claim anymore that they are the most educated...this election open their yansh well.

The four major contestants were from the three major tribe
So it means we the South South are the one to choose the most suitable for Nigeria without biased because they are not our brothers
And we chose choose obi but due to tribalism the South west refused and supported a man who is sick mentally and physically...national anthem was going on he wasn't Aware

If you can't handover your daughter or sister for Marriage to a sick old man with dementia not physically and mentally fit. Some one not aware of his environment but still you want to support same man to head 220 million Nigeria at this point of our critical situation then may you and your family know no peace


If you are emotionally attached to your tribe, religion and political leaning to the point that the truth and justice becomes secondary consideration then your education is useless, your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments. You are liability to man kind

Everyone should retweet and save this so that our future kids will know that at some point in the history of Nigeria we were caught in between the Devil( tinubu, atiku) and redemption( obi)
But the South west spoilt dragged us back because of tribalism

Every sane Nigeria should look at this and read a meaning to it
1) Tinubu political party and administration is ruling but he was unable to win Abuja where them sit down put
2) his own state of origin osun. Even a twelve year old will win thier own state yet he was unable to win

3) all development in lagos is attributed to Tinubu and he is regarded as the father of lagos yet he was unable to win

Nigerians should put on thier conscience and see that tinubu was rejected completely by Nigerians

I'm from the South South( Edo to be precise)

mikelopez this is u

Omihanifa:
There nothing like master strategist anywhere, this election was rigged and tinibu knows it.

You guys should stop hyping never do wells.
In a sane society can an electorial umpire go against it own rules?

it takes proper strategy to rig

OneCandleAway:
These people don't know Tinubu.

Once he has the federal power, believe me he doesn't even need the north like that. He is not Jonathan that was cool. He can easily challenge the north if they want to be stubborn. All the crooks he surrounds himself with will so loot. Look at lagos, if you know how much is being stolen in lagos state. So far they are remitting Tinubus commission he won't talk. His own is steal and share to his subordinates.

it’s a shame u igbos can’t groom your apga into a formidable force, it’s not even well known in d east but here is apc that came after apga

Apc started as ac n later acn then did something great to become what it is today

Shame no dey catch u

TrumpDonald2:
😂😂😂😂

A congratulatory message that was begged for or maybe paid for

na your own wahala b dat


How far but u igbos said they won’t swear in tinubu cos of Abuja

like1:
You wey no wail you get cash for hand? Abi Nigeria for wailers and non wailers are different? .

Even MORE wailers are financially doing better than non-wailers and living better lives than non-wailers.

We wailers just want better because we know we should be doing better

no b una support d policy cos u believe it will hurt tinubu

Vickho:
mandate wey Dem steal for your papa house?
bastard

so u igbos will now wail for complete 24 years cos after tinubu 8 years another northerner will take over for 8 years

chinedu

Nobody will insult i if u come out straight

U are igbo

Like seriously there’s one thing very annoying about obi supporters n if they aren’t careful it might put some of them in trouble

It’s like they have all been programmed to believe tinubu is coming to kill them, that’s what u hear from them in different places they talk.

Two annoying scenarios have happened here today

The first one
Imagine we all went to eat at a restaurant, 3 men were talking about election on a table n from their conversation u know they are friends n they had election bet, 2 was supporting tinubu n one peter obi, they we’re having their discussion without insulting anyone.

One girl on another table that doesn’t know them n they don’t know him just said “na u go suffer am”……..na so one man from d 3 guys just stood up n told the girl

I have been a millionaire in my 20’s n now I am approaching 50, I am d ceo of this n that n I have this n this n I have never been a politician so what’s your problem. The man was so annoyed that it took d intervention of people there to calm him down, the lady couldn’t even wait to finish her food before she left………even d man supporting Peter obi among d 3 friends was angry but he just had to caution himself


Same thing happened here not quite long, d same line of “na u go suffer am” is the same thing this girl dropped when she’s doesn’t even know d people discussing

It’s highly annoying

Imagine another one saying here that Igbo man will go back to his business or work after election, so na other tribes no get work or business?

These people are highly annoying

It’s like they are intentionally looking for ways to get people angry

Philgafauto:
Black man and fellow Nigerian, know this and know peace that there is no GOD.

Tinubu has proved himself to be more powerful than your so called God by gaming and cheating and all these prophecies that he won’t be President is a lie.

I supported Donald Trump and I was hurt when the democrats cheated him out and I was believing in prophecies that one God will stop the inauguration of the fool Joseph Biden. The so called God did not help Donald Trump’s supporters and no God will help Obidients. In this case, Tinubu is God because he has defeated the institutions in Nigeria.

I was born a Christian but I don’t go to church again because there is no God. Nigeria is now an Islamic country because Muslims are more serious than the so called Christians. All your GOs are criminals who have adopted mercantile Pentecostalism and have forgotten about the Christian values of the founding fathers of the United States which is primarily that a Christian family must depend or rely on a Bible, a gun, and strong national institutions—not a f*cling pastor, prophecies or a church.

All the men of God running churches in Nigeria are frauds who have fooled Nigerians for years and now we are about to be an Islamic state. Even though religion is an opium and there’s no God, I feel Muslims understand political control more than Christians. They don’t rely on just God. They also kill to advance their interest.

So called Christians need to reevaluate their values and stop depending on any sky daddy and take their own future in their hands. And always remember the American brand of Christianity: The Bible, Guns, education, and strong national institutions.

Bleep any sky daddy because it doesn’t exist!!!

There'd be no need because I know Tinubu can NEVER be Nigeria's President.

My only concern is the coming revolution not even the drama of INEC

mr revolution

How far

With this, a rerun is inadvertent. But only two may be in the rerun: Tinubu and other. Other will be known when all the votes are counted.

Faber:
Expect Obi to be in court telling you he won the elections, both in Rivers, and met in 25% in many states and was rigged out....omoh Obj will drag INEC like tiger gen.

But in a situation where what you said plays out, all Obidients will deliver Atiku massively.

Something is telling me, INEC will declare Tinubu President and leave all man to go to court

inec already made it clear that they will announce a winner n anyone not comfortable with it can go to court

Everfrank:
Congratulations to our president elect. May your days as our president be more fruitful than they have ever been. May God give you the will and strength to pilot our nation to greater glory.
We beg you to be humble and magnanimous in victory.
Show them love despite the hatred they showed you.
It's a prophesy coming to pass:
That the most hated among the presidential candidates will emerge winner.
Congratulations Bola Ahmed Tinubu- the Jagaban Borgu.

if inec never declare am never rejoice bro

Vinnie2000:
Be Jonzing urself!

Tinubu who depends on Rigging can NOT be President, Ok?
Try a Better YorubaMan!

And I will advise you to go Sleep oo!
Don't do Night Vigilante job for NOTHING oo!

U aren’t even trying to align with reality

PointB:
Oya na, go and conduct governorship, and local government election in Abuja since it's just like Abia. What are you waiting for?

no b me write this one ooo

Just read d last 3 lines n note “statues of a state”

FarahAideed:
Totally wrong interpretation ..If it had the status of a State it would have similarities in constitutional look and feel to any of the 36 states and the electoral act would have no need to stand it out as a distinct parameter ( 2/3 of states and the FCT)

I guess u know better than falana?

mirexxx:
See what truly happened behind the scenes.

so they had all these n still forget to win in Abuja

Even u self no believe this

Coldsperm:
I hate doing this and have kept silent all these while. But don't insult me when you see this message. I am not saying it to make you happy or to make you sad. Firstly I am an Igbo man but my best friend is Yoruba and a Muslim from Kwara state. Bookmark this post and always have it at the back of your mind so that if it happen, you will say that one guy said this on Nairaland. Now hear this fellow Nairalanders " Tinubu will never rule Nigeria". God bless we all.

many igbos like u have already started celebrating tinubu victory

FarahAideed:
There has been so much narrative and counter narrative trying interpret what the electoral act meant when it said a candidate must get 25 percent of of 24 states and the FCT in order to be eligible to be declared winner of the Presidential election.. Different lawyers have been called upon to translate the phraseology and interpret the it as regards the intent of the writer ..seasoned SANs like Femi Falana have interpreted it to mean FCT is part of the 24 states required but others seasoned SANs seem to think we need the supreme court to interpret..This would be good but we know the Nigerian Supreme are not infallible as records would show ..

Well my name is Farah and I have a gift of being able to look through data no matter how presented and sift out the substance and fact...please note I am not a Lawyer but I would attempt to interpret this to the best of my abilities ..Let's start below

The Clause:

He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT
He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT

My Interpretation:

First we have to define what 2/3 of states of the federation mean ... Nigeria has 36 States and a distinct Federal capital territory which is not a state as it lacks any accompaniments that define the constitutional Nigerian state which are :
1.A State must have a State govt
2. The state will have its own distinct legislature ( House of Assembly)
3 . The state will have its own Judiciary
4 . The state will have a Local Govt system in place ( LGA)

Going by any of these constitutional definition it's clear the FCT is not at all considered a State by our constitution as it does not have a

A .State govt system in place

B .Does not have a State Legislature in Place

C . Does not have a State Judiciary in place

D ..Does not have Local Govt ( LGA) system in place

E .does not have an elected head of state govt .

Going by these parameter it's clear the the conjurers of that clause saw the FCT as a distinct and separate entity from the 36 Nigerian states and as such wanted the 25% require to be met in a distinct or stand alone manner when it came to the FCT ..

So my interpretation is simple :
To be declared winner of a Nigerian Presidential election a candidate must get 25 percent of 2/3 of the constitutionally recognized states and an extra distinct 25% in the Federal Capital Territory Known as ABUJA .

read d last 3 lines

Those who wrote it know better than u

LocalStandard1:
I don't know if the post about Falana saying 25% in the FCT is not a requirement is true but if it is then someone needs to go back to school real fast and immediately.

The law says a candidate will be said to win "if they get 25 percent in two third of the States and the FCT.

"two third of 36 is equivalent to 24 states." But the FCT is mandatory cause it is not a State, it was never a State but a federal government territory. The and word is not an optional word but a mandatory additional "conjunction"(note the keyword). "Father and Mother, not Father or mother.

If the law says something most happen in all 36 States and the FCT, it simply means the FCT is mandatory, not an option. Same as 24 states and the FCT. If I say "bring me 24 apples and the green one", you do not bring 30 apples and say the extra numbers substitute the green one. You don't! This is law, it's also simple English. And English and the law doesn't bend over night to suit one person, I think.

The real question is who goes to run-off now that all the candidates have fallen short of the lawful requirements, yet all three have still met two of three requirements?
