If only my boys had won their rescheduled game against Nasarawa Utd...


Hello everyone, Good to be on this forum. I can interact with pple that share similar interests.

Welcome bro

Good decision bro, giving 4 years to another party at the federal level is worth the try. 16 years for Pdp, why not 4 years for APc?

taiocol:
Nigeria Professional Football League champions

Malaika in the 2015 Caf Champions League

Borgou FC of Benin Republic.

Nice.

SirShymex:
You can't remove the bread and butter of Nigerian politics a la religious and tribal sentiments, from the equation.

Both are wired into the psyche of the average Nigerian. And that's the sad truth.

This will surely change with time.

SirShymex:
I just checked the 2007 election - and it was between two people from the North.

Evidently, that isn't a good yardstick to measure his popularity in the South and Middle Belt.

Meaning, people in the south voted for him massively in 2007 when he contested against someone from his own region unlike the religious and tribal sentiments that took over 2011. remove religious and tribal sentiments from the equation, you'd see he is sellable and not a damaged good.

2015 is evidently going to be different because alot of people are now shunning religious and tribal sentiments that hasn't taken us far in this country unless the yardstick you use in knowing who is sellable or damaged are religion and tribalism.

MudRaker:
You can spill any crap you chose to yarn in your desperate attempt to see your Ayotollah general monkey blood become president but don't lie about solid facts.

Even you dunces in Osogbo did not vote for him. You chose another ab0ki.

I don't glorify people like you with long sermon, you are not more christian or southern than I do so keep your tribal /religious childishness to yourself

SirShymex:
Damaged goods in this context doesn't mean infinitely/perpetually damaged - it just means he's damaged among certain electorates, and nothing can change their minds about him.

Anyway, let's use the 2011 voting pattern, since it's basically a battle between the two candidates:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/world/11/nigeria_election_toggle_maps/img/nigeria_elect_624_2011_6.gif

2011 can't be used because that was the era.religious and tribal politics because worrisome, and let's use previous elections before then to judge.

SirShymex:
Bruv, that's just one region, and obviously he appeals to them. And any Northerner going against GEJ will definitely pull the same votes in that region, based on how ethnocentric and religious Nigerian politics is.

However, has he ever won in the Middle Belt and South? That's what I'm alluding to.

Anyway, I hope they play their cards right this time with the campaign. Nostalgia is APC's holy-grail, and they have to ride it, since this is the right clime to do that.

He was rigged out against Yaradua In 2007, not only northerners voted in 2007 na.. Google the voting pattern of 2007, he won votes in the south na.

I just disagree with your "damage" and "not sellable " terms used to describe him. I know thousands of southerners voted for him in the south both in 2003,2007 and 2011, damaged goods won't even become a flag bearer of any party.

Check records na.

SirShymex:
Bro, I don't listen to people - I observe and study things by myself.

The APC primaries were just a facade - they already picked him before that. And the Igbo guy had no chance, based on how the party is. All the noise about his candidacy were from Igbos, who hate the party and have no presence within the structure, however want an Igbo person to be the flag-bearer. Classic Igbo mentality - eating your cake and having it at the same time.

Also, the 12 million votes came from a particular region. And based on how ethnocentric Nigerian politics is, just any Northerner going against GEJ next year, would garner the same number of votes. I was alluding to the swing states/areas, in the Middle Belt and South, where the man failed woefully during that last election. Some of his utterances, especially when it comes to religion and violence, are just the best. So, they have so many tools to pick him apart, for smear campaign and character assassination. Then you have got his age...and the fact that he has been part of the system since the 2nd republic.

Anyway, based how woefully GEJ has performed, he has big chance, if APC can keep harping on nostalgia and make that the nucleus of his campaign. Folks love nostalgic feelings. However, if they party had been wise enough to build a young and vibrant Northerner, during the 4-year window they had - making inroads into those swing states/areas would've been much more easier.

That's just my 2p.

Have you forgotten he wasn't the only northerner that contested in all the elections yet came second behind the ruling party? in 2007, he won squarely against Yaradua but was rigged out. Yaradua accepted that the election was rigged in his favor.

A damaged good won't come record in all election (Presidential) since 2003 knowing fully well that he's not the only contestant from the north, he should be coming last in all election if hes damaged as you claim.

Salutations at Naijababe, and wish you the best in your union.

The N..ipples theory looks feasible and realistic

SirShymex:
Understandable. Hence I'm not really a fan of the guy.

APC and the North had four years, yet they couldn't build a young and vibrant Northerner - shameful. It's about PR, and eloquence, you'll woo folks. Same way Fashola has wooed everyone.

The guy is damaged goods, to be honest.

Anyway, they need to keep harping on nostalgia, and let's see if Nigerians will buy it. You know I don't like GEJ. He's a terrible leader, and anyone will be better than him.

Damaged goods yet floored all the younger contestants in APC during the primaries including Okorocha

Damaged goods yet have been consistent with each election with progressive number of votes, his 6 months old party won 12 million votes while a younger Ribadu couldn't even gather 1 million votes.

Bro, don't listen to those who hate the man for tribal and religious reasons, let them tell us why he's not sellable yet comes second all the time after a rigging incumbent govts.

aguiyi:
since when did oversight amount to goofing, na wa o for APC supporters o

Oversight indeed, why didn't you say you missed it rather than coming up with the usual derailing statements?

aguiyi:
see them aggressive party members, why are you guys in APC always having hot body and responding to question with anger

, rather just accept you goofed, you're here derailing. disappointed.
