Nationwide disapproval indeed. Oh I forgot, the millions of people who voted for him are from Sudan.

alexistaiwo:
Voting in Nigeria is divided along the lines of the educated enlightened citizens against the educated illiterates mixed up with the stark unenlightened illiterates.

2019 elections just proved that the number of the latter outnumber the former by a whopping 100:1 ratio.

Please from now till 2023.
I am tired of praying and typing RIPs.
Nobody should tell me to sympathise with any troubled Northern states, they made their bed, let them lie on it.

And thunder any northern Beggar that will try and beg me for alms on the street.

My condolences for your loss.

I've wanted to stay away from this Igbo-Yoruba issue again, but I've been seeing some narratives that keep making my blood boils.

And the recent one has to do with how Igbos are 'taking over our lands'. And this is where I lost it.

Look, if you are of the opinion that Igbos are taking over your lands, whatever that means, I want to categorically call you a fool, and I don't care if your feelings are hurt.

I mean what the actual Bleep?!

One, whose lands exactly are they taking over? The ones you inherited or what? The ones you left undeveloped or another one? The ones you sold them at inflated rate or which one? Abeg shift base!

Instead of complaining about their encroachment, why not develop some balls and go and take over their lands as well? Why not offer them ludicrous amount of money for a plot of land and see if they won't sell? Why not leave your families and kin behind and go to a land you know absolutely nobody and settle their? Why not leave your comfort zone that you are not developing and not progressing in and settle down somewhere and grow?

I keep defending my race that we are not cowards, but when I look at this critically, we really are. We have no mind and balls to settle anywhere else because obviously, everyone is dangerous. We can't live in the North or the East because everyone except us is dangerous. I don't want to insult those who have lost lives and properties in intertribal wars in both areas of the country, but we need to peel our eyes back and see properly.

We are just scared. Yes, scared. Myself inclusive.

Scared of being adventurous. Scared of being away from our people. Scared of losing and starting again. Scared of competition. Scared of everything that other major tribes ain't scared of.

Two years ago, I went to a part of my state that I've never been to before. I never even knew the place existed. Guess who had the only mini market in that village? Yeah damn right. An Igbo boy. Not a man. A boy. He sells everything they want. I was amazed. I spent close to 30 minutes interrogating him. He was barely 20years old. Yes, I was scared for him.

And that's how it is in the whole country. The Igbos remain the only tribe in the country that are never afraid of going to new places to establish. If they fail in a business, they start another one. I keep seeing them everyday in my town, trying selling something new every time. Trying to make it despite the obvious hostility around them. Most of us who are complaining about them would rather buy from them than the Yorubas.

They keep going to places to create new things, and all we do is beef them. The first major supermarket in Ado-Ekiti, Okoli, was from an Igbo man. The current trending one, NAO Supermarket, is owned by an Igbo. The entire bank road of Ado-Ekiti was bought by an Igbo man in the late 80s and 90s, and he has been selling to all the banks in that areas since then.

And what are we busy doing? Shitting in our pants shouting "They are taking over our lands". Hehehehehehehehe!!! Fada Lawd! Our entire computer villages are littered with them. They move out and own shit! We...? We just sit our asses down and complain about how the money they use in buying all these are blood and ritual money! Hehehehehehehehe!!! Really?! A Yoruba man calling an Igbo man a ritualist! Fada Lawd!

Even the Northerners are setting up Shasha markets all around us, and where the heck are we and what are we doing in their own states? Nothing.

Let's grow some balls. No one will 'eat' us in Igbo lands. I served in the interiors of Anambra, precisely in Akpo in Aguata Local Government, in a community school inside the bush there. I trek daily inside that Bush for a whole bloody year, and no one ate me or used me for money. They gave me foods, they offered their daughters to me in marriage. They wanted me to settle among them. I know those who cried when I was leaving. I know those of my colleagues that settled there. I know of many Yorubas that established there and are making it, dammit!

#Sigh. I've never been angry like this in a long while, and now I'm exhausted. ����. Let's treat each others like humans first. Let's remove this tribal labelling. Rwandan has done it and is moving forward. Even Nigerians feel more at home in South Africa, the xenophobic country, more than they would feel with other tribes in Nigeria.

And if we feel all these aren't possible, then let's fucking part ways and establish our own separate kingdoms. But like my mum said "Take away the Igbos and see your community become empty".

Enough said!

Are you freaking retar.ded? Did I complain to you that anyone is taking over my land? You wrote all this drive to counter what I didn't say?
Why don't you simply educate me on what I responded to which is your assertion that Lagos doesn't belong to anyone?

buspid:
Where is that Johnnyessence that used to argue like a one-eyed man?




Pachukwudi, rushdie... i can't even remember their fake and inconsequential sobriquets again. Lol...


Defeat is better I swear, see how they all deserted NAIRALAND, where they gathered the highest number of votes for their Waziri Adamawa

They are in mourning right now.

VicHots:
I see Dino//Ekweremadu emerging the SP!...please tell me I'm not serious

You are not serious.

The wailers are back.

FFK is not a democrat. Imagine if this type of statement came from the Buhari camp, the shouts of "dictatorship" will be deafening.
You lost, deal with it.

Reno learned rigging from the devil. He knows what he is talking about.

kingthreatz:
Well, I still give it to Atiku. He won on Nairaland, Facebook and Instagram.
Many of his supporters were at home watching EPL and African Magic that day when everyone went to vote.

They saw those mammoth crowds in the north during the campaigns and they were still under some illusions that somehow they wouldn't come out to vote.
In hindsight, those pictures kind of reflect the results we are seeing right now.

Sore losers.

Amateurs.

How can secoudus be afraid to come second?

Secondus doesn't want to come second. Too late.

Asshurbanipal:
Your concern is to have something to gloat about.

Actually you are partly right. But it is not yet the time to gloat.

.

Earthquake2:
Your concern is about other people

You are not interested in the welfare of the nation? Mind you no matter who is president Igbos hardly suffer financially

My concern is for the nation, that is why I think Atiku shouldn't be president.

Let the wailing begin. In the coming days some will even threaten secession.

Generalnomercy:
Nigeria must have two presidents this time.


APC can't win this election..

It appears they did already.

namio10:
Nigeria Huge country?

What do you say about India, China, USA?

Continue to console yourself, instead of arresting the truth that Nigeria is not meant to be one country.

The richest countries in the world have no crude oil.

The truth is that in a country with almost 200 million people and about 2000 polling stations, if only a fews places were affected by violence it wouldn't change the outcome of the election.
Worst case scenario the election in those places will be canceled and conducted again.

Go to election tribunals and present your case. Nigerian politicians hardly ever lose an election.

HeyCorleone:
Man should be truthful.

What is "predominantly peaceful"?

Is it until they set the whole nation ablaze that you realise that it wasn't?

People rarely - RARELY - die or suffer attacks during elections in Europe and America.

Africa is just cursed.

Useless continent.

Nigeria is a huge county, cases of violence were reported in only a few places like in Lagos and Rivers.

LegalOpinion:
I am Yoruba and the truth is, No particular tribe can lay claim to Lagos.

Even amongst us, we are still dragging who owns Lagos.

You are not Yoruba.

Daboomb:
SAVAGE!
Lie-Pobs, ehn?

Lol, o to ge. Atiquit, Atisurrender.

Indestructible:
what is the meaning of O to ge?

Enough is enough.

For broda Bukky, it means end of the road.

O to ge.

What arrant nonsense! What evidence of rigging in Ekiti do you have?
You expect PDP to win just after Losing the governorship election?

StarUp:
With this result, how can I ever trust Yoruba people again?

When did you ever trust them?

Atiku will lose, he did put up a good fight though. The reality is beginning to dawn on everyone.

What battle exactly? He has just been condemned to political obscurity.
