Same way it happened before and after Osun elections, abi? Thought your people said it was IPOB members that were supporting Adeleke, and he would be beaten black and blue at the polls.
Don't worry, the Supreme Court will overturn that useless result.
Oga, Nigerians are wiser now.

One thing i hv come to realise is that blackman is too discriminating and tribalistic.
Reno omokri and ffk should stop instigating and insinuating Igbos.
Even we Igbos discriminate against other tribes, especially the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba.
back home, we discriminate against Enugu and Ebonyi, calling them so many derogatory names.
they should spare me that tribal bullshit.
To the best of my knowledge, hausa/fulani are the most accomodating and honest tribe in nigeria.

The Conspiracy of IPOB pigs To Sabotage Nigeria, Matters Arising.

1. Ipob's manipulated & cunningly collected $ 5000 dollars from the suspect Atiku Abubakar, as a means to buying arms and funding for their proscribed association (ipob).( see punch news paper.)

2. When other delegates from North,Central and South West where avoiding the suspect due to his investigation by USA homeland security, and inability to set foot in USA but ipob's deliberately met him & a price was negotiated from $10000 down to $5000. (See Harlibuton case CNN.)

3.ipobs believe if the suspect wins their will be so much looting of state resources that Nigeria will go bankrupt, which will make it impossible to pay security agencies their wages, from that position ipobs pigs can strike and deal with Nigeria with a single blow, just like Boko haram did during GEJ government, when more than 19 LGA where under the terrorists group, as salaries were owed, zero motivations & out of date military gears. Budgets for arms were looted, by PDP government. ( see The nation)

4. A situation where the suspect wins under PDP come, 2019. And the looting continues as predicted, due to the weakness of the state. Ipobs pigs will annex south south to Biafra land for their economic benefits, i e oil. (Ibid)

However Even after they cede , just like south Sudan. Biafra will indulge in civil war, because they lack central authority in their political culture, there are villages with less than 100 peoples scattered around with stubborn kings, instead of village head, which is an ember for the fire of war ( Enugu ipob will never bow to Delta ipob). During the civilwar their refugees will become a liability to Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

However the civil war of 1967 caused high rate of illiteracy amongst them, apprenticeship in spare parts, plumbing materials, armed robbery,vote selling, internet fraud, adulteration of food items, ritualism, fake drugs, hard drugs mule's, prostitutions & other vices became the new schools of today.. Hence any civil war will make them loose the little level of progress they have now.
These illiterates who happen to be the majority of ipobs pigs that have refused to travel out of south east for national integration, are the foot soldiers of any fanatic, that calls. A case study Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a, wanted fugitive by the Nigerian government, has brain washed many of these illiterates, that pogrom of hausa/Fulani was done in Aba,Enugu, Onitsha and other eastern towns.

In summary PDP are whether knowingly or unknowingly agents of the devils that want to end the political entity called Nigeria. Its high time necessary actions are taken irrespective of any blackmail made by the medias supporting these unscrupulous elements for our National interest and development.

Till then Supreme Court Justicee..

Kids everywhere!

Oga, INEC Chairman has spoken. He understands the Electoral Act more than your talkative party chairman. The courts cannot rule against INEC in this regard.
Deal with it!

Quality20:
Why not 2019 to 2027?

Sorry o, it was a mistake.

CilicMarin:
Only a fool would think APC as a ruling party will be denied the right of presenting candidates for a whole state...

Fools everywhere!

Let them present and win. Election petition tribunal will handle the rest.
PDP will rule Zamfara from 2019 to 2027.

Story for the gods.
INEC Chairman understands the electoral act more than APC Chairman. If INEC has said APC does not have candidates, it's a settled matter. Any ojoro by APC that gives them victory in Zamfara in 2019 will be overturned by the courts before the end of that year.

PassingShot:
Afenifere that has not effected any political change in the SW since 2015 trying to stay relevant.

In 2015, they supported GEJ, he lost.

All the parties this group has supported against Tinubu-led APC in the SW have always lost since they parted ways.

2019 is the last battle to rescue Nigeria from the "owners" of the country.

Meanwhile, OBJ cannot even win his polling booth in any election in the SW. Such is his political weight.

Be wallowing in your gradiosity.
Middle Belt votes won the election for Buhari in 2015 not South West (which gave him only 55% votes). We already know where the support of the Middle Belt is swinging at the moment.

The economy only crumbled because of the collosal amount stolen by the thief and his forty brothers over 16 years. The non thief has only refused to pad it like the last buffoon we had preferring to face the hardship now rather than mortgage the future of our children like the THIEF and his 40 brothers have done

[/s]

Rubbish!!!

What business has Buhari ever managed in his life? Someone that could not grow 150 cattle over 30 years, is it the complex Nigerian economy he can manage?
No foundation, no business venture, no educational qualification... Nothing whatsoever.

1stCitizen:
At the end of the day he will still end up in an election tribunal for the next 4 years.

Atiku is like an Evans who made money through kidnapping and established some legit business and created jobs. He could not leave kidnapping in spite of the money he made. Atiku cannot remove his eyes from the treasury.

Buhari is not a thief. Atiku is a successful THIEF

I will rather have a man who will steal from our treasury and invest it into the economy thereby creating jobs and giving opportunity to millions of Nigerians than someone who doesn't steal, has no idea on how to improve the economy but rather crumbles it.

Beremx:
Buhari and APC will keep crying at the emergence of Atiku. It's like a shocker to them.


This is just the beginning!!

I am happy you let wisdom and commonsense prevail finally. Some of these BMC guys know Buhari is a failure but they keep supporting him against their consciences. They are worse than beasts.

Bolustical:
Isn't it surprising that those who castigated Yorubas for being a VP to Buhari are the one fighting tooth and nail to get the slot to Atiku.

Same region who tagged Yorubas slaves, for supporting a 72 year old Fulani herdsman are now the one asslicking him.

Suddenly, they have-

Realised that VP seat is important,

Forgotten Atiku is a Fulani,

Forgotten Atiku is a Muslim,

Forgotten Atiku is 72 years old.


Hypocrites.

Oga, the issue is mainly about Buhari. He's the worst president Nigeria could ever have had in a democracy.
Igbos don't hate Fulanis and Muslims the way you think. There are probably more Igbos living in the Northwest alone than all the Yorubas living outside Yoruba land, and those same Igbos have a fantastic relationship with those northerners.
Forget about all these social media nonsense. What plays out on social media doesn't reflect in reality. Some of the people that come here and shout Afonja, Fláthead etc have friends across the divide in real life.

now those ewudu oil mouth wont come here and spill trash on how pdp is sponsoring Ipob,



as for 2019,these will be no voting in east even if pdp make Mazi Nnamdi Kanu their vp.



God bless ipob and all lovers of freedom.

My dear, you can never have Biafran referendum the way Nigeria is structured. It is IMPOSSIBLE. Restructuring is the very first step before referendum can be possible. You need a regional government first, then momentum can be built from there. When there is a regional government, all political leaders can become easily aligned towards forming an independent state.
All the countries that have made attempts towards getting a referendum in recent times ran regional government for example, Scottish referendum (from the UK) and Catalonian referendum (from Spain).
So my dear, if you guys truly want Biafra to be made possible in this generation, support Atiku. When his government comes into power, it will be easier to restructure the nation. From there, referendum will become easier.

Pls how can I volunteer for Atiku

I love Atiku so much. If he's picking an easterner Okonjo-Iweala is his best bet. She's has south south, south east and serious international appeal. I mean she's probably the most influential female in Nigeria. If he decides to go with southwest, then Jimi Agbaje seems like a very credible person even though he's contesting for Lagos. Even if a goat had won this PDP primaries, I am ready to vote for the goat. Enough is enough. I was rooting for either Atiku, Saraki or Kwankwanso. Saraki didn't lose a thing. He will still go back and continue excelling in the senate. I like most of the PDP contestants, they seem very youth friendly. Also Atiku should go and lobby Kwankwanso very well because it has been proven that Kano is a major vote decider in Nigeria and Kwankwanso has Kano in his hands. Anyone that wins Kano is the next president. Osinbajo in my honest opinion is a very good man, he's not a politician but he's a good technocrat with good leadership qualities. Unfortunately he's paired with an olodo.

Kwankwaso doesn't have Kano really. Buhari has a very strong following there, and has aways been winning Kano since 2003.
Buhari must go anyway.

Congrats Atiku
Congrats PDP
Congrats Nigeria

GoTV:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, The viral video of those young girls and boys showed that the church has failed. Instead of preaching salvation and condemning immoralities, our churches and pastors are interested in preaching prosperity, tithes and offerings. Every message is based on financial returns for churces and their criminal G.O'S. Cases like this are predominant in the south despite the high concentration of churches. How many muslims will you find partaking in such immorality? Muslims girls are well groomed, covered in decent dressings yet we Christians see their ways as primitive. When organizations like Muric lambast we Christians for our hypocrisy we ignore the message and begin to demonize Islam. Even though I condemn rape, events like this makes me ashamed of being a Christian. In my next life i will never join Christianity

You're not a Christian but a Muslim. Stop these irritating pretense.

BilliBaron:
As if, if the catholic wanted that land today It won't be given to them. Anglican is too small for catholic in igbo land. If you know you Know.

That's not true! Catholics are more populous but Anglicans are potent too especially in Anambra. Ọgụ ụka in Anambra by Catholics has always been covert not overt to the point of forcefully taking over properties of Anglicans. They can't do it.

Kahujadekadura:
.
If you like grew up in Jamaica, that one is your own problem. When Mbadinuju and Etiba was governor of d state; what is their achievement if not looting our Money and squandering our money on Anglican cathedral.

I know there has always been ọgụ ụka in Anambra State. It started right from the time Christianity entered Igbo land. It shouldn't be so.
Catholics have always been dominating in all areas. Any attempt that might have seemed anti-Catholic were just little attempt to see if a possible balance or equity could be restored.

Awol1:
How did you get land close to the Basilica for Pete's sake?

People will just be looking for trouble.

If it's close to the Catholic Cathedral, there's every reason to believe it belongs to Catholic Church.

But aside that, the security guys that chased you guys away didn't say they were doing it to clear road for the Catholic Church.

Why can't all these anti-Catholic riffraffs get Catholicism outta their mouth?

But in sincerity, Igbo Catholics are among the most bigoted Christians in the world, especially those from Anambra State. To get a civil service job or even have any case sorted out for you in any government parastatal in Anambra without being a Catholic is very difficult. Anambra Catholics have been suppressing every other denomination right from time. I know this so well cos I grew up in Anambra.

Ambode CANNOT make it, but the outcome of this will affect Lagos APC votes.

EggSauce:
I'm not dissing anybody but I said this when osun election was declared inconclusive and igbo people carry am for head that... Average igbo person as alot to be bothered about in their than poke nosing on whatever happens in South West... They call northerners cows but u need to visit Kano and see their flyovers or visit katsina and see their Good roads... I will repeat myself again... Every right thinking igbo person should face their region and hold their useless governors accountable for their chronic under development than coming online insulting other regions better than them

The term chronic underdevelopment CANNOT in any way be used to describe Igbos. You can only make that statement because you haven't been to the East, or you've only been to a few places.

In terms of roads, I can assure you that Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi have very good state roads. The federal roads may not be good, but most of their state roads are fantastic. Several threads have been created in the recent past about Abakaliki roads. Enugu state has very fantastic rural roads, while Anambra has one of the best road networks in Nigeria at the moment. I can't vouch for Imo and Abia.

As for housing, Anambra people have one the best quality of houses for residence in Nigeria. Even in the rural areas, there are so many amazing houses you can only find in urban areas in many other states. Same applies for most other South East states apart from Ebonyi.

Education: The South East has been the most successful region in WAEC for the past 7 years or more. Even in unity schools exams, JAMB, and different educational competitions, the South East has always done marvelously well.

The truth is that in all indices of development, South East has been one of the most successful regions in Nigeria. The only area SE is lacking is in critical infrastructure (especially Federal) which underscores the accusation of marginalisation often peddled by Igbos.

Travelling they say is part of education. Until you travel round, you can't make an objective assessment of other regions. You can't stay in your state in the SW and think you know all Nigeria. Travel more, meet more people in real life not Nairaland and exchange ideas. Meet corps members (for example) who have served in other parts of the country and get a picture of what life is like elsewhere, if you can't travel.

madridguy:
Wailers jumping from thread to thread over this matter should face their satanic party and leave our party alone. If you're pained over the latest development, sign the embattled Governor into your FC.

As for those people screaming PMB cabals want to slice Tinubu into size are just wasting your time or you are kids in Nigeria politics.

As it stands today, PMB need Tinubu more than Tinubu needs him.
Ambode can be stubborn but he should ask the likes of Femi Pedro, Fashola, Obanikoro to mention few. You can do gra gra but you am damn sure you will take the humble pie last.

How does Buhari need Tinubu? Does Tinubu have any other choice apart from supporting Buhari? Buhari doesn't even need Tinubu's influence to win (if he's going to win, which is very likely though). Those who will vote Buhari in 2019 will vote him on his own merit not based on Tinubu's support. Moreover, Buhari has access to the national purse now, so he can bankroll his campaign unlike in 2015 when he depended on Tinubu and Amaechi.

NB: I am not by any means supporting Buhari. Just stating it clearly now. That I admitted he will likely win 2019 doesn't mean I am supporting him.

raumdeuter:
This tantrum throwing just showed he lost control

He was goaded and he cracked under pressure.

He was the one to attack SanwoOlu first, A person in control doesn't crack

I think at this point Ambode is done

He may lose the fight, but APC will hear from Lagos electorates. Buhari knows the damage it will do to his votes from Lagos and that's why he's supporting Ambo. Tinubu is in a big mess. If Ambode loses the ticket, Jimi Agbaje may just be on his way to becoming the next governor of Lagos. If Ambode wins, Tinubu will lose his grip on Lagos despite an APC government in power.

WisdomFlakes:
I don't care about Tinubu, APC, PDP, or whatever. But it seems some of you PDP guys are more concerned about Tinubu fighting Buhari than how to win in 2019. The same wrong focus made PDP lose Ekiti and Osun. Instead of strategizing how to win you are waiting for Buhari to fight Tinubu to give you all an edge. Continue and goodluck.

The statement in bold is a big lie. PDP lost Osun cos of the massive rigging APC did in the rerun. We all saw the difference between the conduct of the main election and the rerun. Let's not forget PDP wasn't even expected to put up that kind of fight considering that APC is the ruling party in Osun and at the national.
As for Ekiti, Fayose was owing salaries and at the same time making too much noise. He had federal might to deal with, and don't forget Fayemi isn't a newbie. He's a past governor so he actually stood a good chance to win (assuming he even contested against Fayose himself).

AllTheWayUp:
The end has finally come for Tinubu
Buhari and his fellow Aso Rock Cabals have finally gotten the opportunity to deal with Tinubu and render him politically useless and inconsequential

The biggest loser after Buhari's 2019 win will be Tinubu. Buhari will cut him to size. Head or tail, Tinubu is in a mess. As a matter of fact, whether Buhari will win or not (though I think he will win), he doesn't really need Tinubu's support to achieve that. After his victory next year, he will never need Tinubu's support again. He will make sure Tinubu is finished as far as national politics is concerned. If PDP wins, Tinubu will equally be dealt with. Either way, he's a goner!

vedaxcool:
You can see the problem, rather than encourage people to build their structure you expect a man you hate to suspend his political rights just to please you and other PDP goons who cannot even vote in their PDP primaries. Bros first participate in your PDP primaries.

Oga, this has nothing to do with PDP. in reality, if Ambode wins APC ticket, PDP won't stand a chance in Lagos, but if Ambode loses, PDP will stand a chance (if there is no rigging). So you see, it actually benefits PDP that Ambode is denied the ticket.
We're talking about being sincere to ourselves. You claim APC has returned power to the people by adopting direct primaries, but you praise them for selecting one candidate ahead of that primaries and mandating others to step down for that one candidate. How is this different from the indirect primaries of the PDP? It's even worse!

vedaxcool:
Read what you wrote and ask yourself whether you truly know what you are talking about. You said everyone is supporting Sanwo... Please is the essence of politics not get the support of the people? You simply don't understand what you are talking about.

Sanwo is popular because the top hierarchy of the party is supporting him. As soon as Tinubu picked him, everybody else had to fall in line. From there, they started mobilising grassroot support for him such that anybody against him is seen to be against the party. That way, the party hasn't provided a level playing field for other aspirants. Why should Hamzat be made to step down? Why should Ambode be asked to step down?
I am saying that before primaries, there should be a level playing ground for all aspirants. The candidate who is the most popular among party members should get elected. After that, everybody should team up together including those that lost d primaries to support that candidate, not that you select a candidate and mandate others to step down, then you turn around and say you're doing direct primaries. What's the essence of direct primaries again when you have already narrowed your candidates to one? Even if a goat is that one candidate chosen, it will still poll enough votes to qualify it to stand for general elections. So while claiming you're doing direct primaries, technically, you just did selection of candidate by the party leader(s).

vedaxcool:
APC has began a process that will restore power to the people, this is why compared to PDP it is a far more preferable to choice.

Which power is being restored to people when party leaders and other politicians within the party already adopt a candidate ahead of the primaries and work towards their emergence? Why should Ambode and Hamzat step down for Sanwo-Olu and why is everybody supporting him? Why is Ganduje a sole contestant? Nobody else in Kano APC is fit to contest the ticket?
You see that you guys are just deceiving yourselves.
