It does not work anywhere else except southwest. Noone is stupid enough to have one person to control an entire area.

So what we see now is corruption free?

Buhari supporters are mad

ManirBK:
Wetin poverty no go do!
Atiku supporters don't "actually love him, they only need his Pounds!
Buhari will surely beat Atiku even before 7 pm of election day!

Buhari brought more poverty to the land in just 3 years of leadership. People are tired, especially with blaming everyone for his incompetence. I don't like Atiku, but I'll vote for him over Buhari anyday. Even if a goat is running against Buhari, I'll vote for that goat. People are tired

Even if other tribes are outside their homeland, majority are still at home. That 14m is probably 60% of eligible SW voters by the way. So what are you saying? The fact is that even if other tribes are in the region, their voting strength is not significant when you consider the region as a whole. There are also Yoruba’s in SS and the North. But when the regions are looked at, it is at the majority impact of votes and how they swing. SW is the most unpredictable zone and you must perform or the vote against you. They are not blindly loyal to a party but to performers. This forces candidates to try to bet against their unpredictability. They could also vote based on interest.

You don’t realize that Atiku would have promised delegates from several zones many things. The shocker Wike and other PDP stalwarts got, where do you think most of those delegates who voted for Atiku cape from? Probably NE and SW. so all these promises and calculations have probably been done before his emergence and winning the presidential primary. I am sure Wike thought he had the SS and SE votes down for Tambuwal.

Yoruba votes are very predictable as of late. SW votes wherever Tinubu tells them to vote. What transpired with Ambode shows that. He was continuously praised by yoruba as the best governor in Nigeria and the second Tinubu said otherwise, Yoruba did as well. The same way we've seen yorubas say on this site repeatedly they reject pdp simply because tinubu says so. Even with Osun defeats your comments on they vote based on performance. We are all aware majority of Yoruba will vote APC because Tinubu says so hence the focus for SW should be on the non-indigenous as he does not control them as he controls the indigenous. The votes from the non-indigenous would be counted as the SW zone, again that's a fact. I highly highly doubt SW delegates are the contributing factor to Atiku win. The North, SE and SS voted for him as well. If I remember correctly there was even an article about SE votes towards his winning PDP presidential slot. Wike has no strength on influencing anything, I don't know why you deceive yourself that he does. Anyway, the unpredictable zone right now is middle belt hence, I keep emphasizing he should focus on gaining their votes rather than wasting his time on yorubas. The middle belt has always been the deciding factor in every presidential election.

If PDP is smart, they should seek out ipob leaders and get them on their side. Promise the referendum, promise to find out what happened to kanu, promise and do something because if what we witness during the sit at home is right, neither the governors or ohneze controls that zone. ipob does and if they ask for an election boycott, they will do it. They did it in 2015 and ipob didn't have as much supporters as they do now. It'll be stupid not to use their popularity to pdp advantage. We need that zone to vote out the lifeless one. Promise them something because right now, ipob have lost complete faith in Nigeria and they have a control on ibos meaning pdp loses the votes of ibos in se, ss, north and sw.

If you want your region to count, you can move back there. Stop moaning abeg. The fact is if you live in SW your vote will count under that region. If your mission is to influence SW electorally by moving there then maybe in another 100yrs and by then you will have been absorbed. More hinterland Yoruba’s move to the cities daily than non Yoruba’s I hope you realize that.

By the way SW is at least 85% Yoruba. You also forget that SW has high populations in Kwara and the North too. Especially Kaduna but we don’t even factor that in.

The truth is SW has the highest population in Nigeria. Hausa comes second and Igbo third. Hausa and Fulani are two different tribes and should not be counted as one. The north also has a lot of minority tribes within.

Yoruba’s are majority in about 7 states in Nigeria. We are talking 85% and above. Most states don’t have that. Yoruba population is very high. Because we don’t shout does not mean we are not there. If a Yoruba person who they believe in should run for presidency, then you will witness the PVC registrations shoot up and the number of voters will Suddenly spike up! I don’t care for PDP or APC. In fact I may vote for Oby sef. Just thought I should educate you.

Yoruba people please stop changing the story when it benefits you. A minute you mock non-indigenous that live in your zone while saying you people wouldn't leave your area because it's the most developed states in Nigeria, even though that's a laughter on your part. Now, you claim you're everywhere. Pick a side and stay there. Even if you claim there are Yorubas everywhere and let's agree to that, there are more Ibos in every zone than yorubas and that is a fact. Nobody that sincere can even deny that

Now, who's arguing there are more non-indigenous than indigenous in Yoruba zone? Did I say that? What I am saying is that 14 million despite North, SS, and SE has a high number of their people residing in SW and counted in that 14 million shows that Yoruba voting strength is not as high or significant as they claim. Neither do Yoruba influence how the non-indigenous in SW votes despite your people claims here hence, the marginal differences of PDP and APC votes during 2015 in SW was not that high. The highest voting blocs of Yorubas is SW just like the highest voting blocs of ibos is SE. Unlike SE, the SW number includes non-indigenous, again that is a fact.

In Kwara and Kogi, we've witnessed how the SW yoruba have significantly attacked and insulted the leaders of that side from your group that would have influenced the voting pattern in that area. Do you really think Saraki and co yorubas joined APC to insult repeatedly would even allow their area to vote in the same pattern as the party that's repeatedly tried to damage them and equally organized protesters to throw things at them? Do you honestly believe such will happen? Let's also not forget that if we use your argument against the hausa/fulani, both states have minorities that are significantly high in a population who may or may not vote the way yoruba in that zone votes.

As for the Northern minorities, yes that's true but just like ibos in ss votes the way se votes, the minorities in north votes the same way hausa/fulani votes. The only swinging factor is middle belt and considering how buhari have treated the antagonist against them, I don't see many from that area joining in the Arewa wagon this time around. Atiku can win with or without Yoruba vote.

I really do not care about who becomes the president. Both aren't even worth any of the mandate but right now, until I leave Nigeria, I'm with anybody that's against Buhari. Atiku would be extremely stupid if he chooses a VP from SW. Very stupid. If he does, the ibos will boycott the election and not vote hence an easy win for Buhari. He should focus on those who can contribute voting rates on all region. To become president, you need a significant percentage from all region and ibos are the only set scattered around to do so compared to yorubas. The ibos have more electoral vote than Yoruba and that's a fact. Unlike Yoruba, the Ibos votes are in North, SW, SS and SE. The Yorubas though have electoral votes in SS and possibly North, there's more ibos there than yoruba. I'm from SS, I've seen more ibo here than yoruba so anyone saying Yoruba can win anything for anyone clearly do not know Nigeria.

Even we do the math and compare both
SE has close to 8 million.
SW has 14 million
Unlike SE, the 14 million of SW includes non-indigenous. The fact that SW only has 14 million despite the inclusion of North, SE and SS voters included, it makes you wonder what is the actual number of yoruba votes.

Let's say the VP slots go to Yorubas, there is no guarantee that Yorubas would even vote for Atiku but there is a huge guarantee that the ibos will not if he does. Therefore, Atiku would lose ibos votes from SE, not only that but also lose the ibo votes of SW as well and despite the arguments and fights with SE and their SS brothers, the Ibos in SS votes wherever SE votes and they boycott whatever SE boycott, therefore, he equally loses the votes from ibos in SS. If Atiku handlers are here, tell that man it is a very very stupid idea to omit those who have more voting strength than those who none of us are even sure what their percentage of voting strength is. Very stupid idea. Why does he think the people pushing him to pick a VP from SW are all APC supporters? He should think about that first.

For him to win, he needs the vote of middle belt. I don't know what deceives Yorubas that they are the deciding factor in the election. They have never been. The government of Nigeria did not start in 2015, I don't know why that tribe keeps deceiving themselves that it did. Even GEJ won and lost because of Middle Belt. His focus should be Middle belt and not Yorubas. Even if all Yoruba votes against Atiku, as long as he wins some middle belt, SS and SE, he'll win.

The best person for him to pick as VP is Iweala. She's the best of both worlds because she'll cater to both SS and SE. She's from SS and she's ibo so the ibos wouldn't see anything wrong with if the VP position goes to a non SE. Also, those of us in SS wouldn't see anything wrong with either because she's from our zone. Both his stronghold gets a share. Plus, his dark cloud is claims of his inability to travel all over the world due to claims of corruption cases waiting for him. She is a buffer on that considering her immense reputation worldwide. The respect he lacks from world leaders, she has. Iweala is the best choice for him and I hope he is smart enough to realize that.

prolog2:
they are Edo as shown in all precolonial maps.
The truth hurts, deal with it !

The Igbanke have repeatedly stated that they aren't Edo nor do they speak the language of Edo people.

H

Visa of course. I'm already seeking Canadian visa. I hope they approve it soon

ayokellany:
Compare to what your father of democracy did to imposew Fayose on Ekiti state, I will say this is the best we ever had.

Read my last comment because I'm not going to repeat myself.

obailala:
Democracy dead?.... Was there ever a time it was alive in Nigeria?.... Can you give an example of a timeline when Nigeria ever had a functional democracy?

Oh! how come so many people just noticed this recently simply because the 'deadness' isnt favourable?... Could this be self inflicted amnesia?....

2015 election was free and fair. APC preached change, not the same corruption. Instead what you brought was worse than before. It's sad you people preached change but yet continuously compared your act to the past. Was your party voted to continue the same act or were you voted in to make an improvement?

Enice:
just because APC won?

Are you saying what transpired is actually democratic?
They lost an election and declared it inconclusive. The rerun of the said election, people were initimdated, a police officer was videod refusing a man to vote, only those with white handkerchief, those who's vote were bought were allowed in, among other things.

If you like listen to my advice. If not, continue staying.

Iamgrey5:
What is sad is how you wrote a whole epistle filled with gibberish and emotionally charged incoherent nonsense over an election that has little or nothing to do with you.

You write as if your region is faring any better than the region of the Yorubas, or if governors from other political parties are not owing workers salaries.

I dear you to submit a state under any political party in Nigeria that is light years ahead of other states.

The last time i checked, many people from the oil rich south south region of Nigeria are complaining bitterly about poor governance. Yet, this is a region that has always been under the control of PDP since 1999

We may have been complaining of poor governance but there's no state in SS where our future have been severally destroyed by any of our leaders. Every damage currently in SS by our leaders can be easily fixed with the right leadership. None of any state in SS is severally indebted and have inability to pay it off like states in SW. None of SS leaders owe years of salary and had to be begged repeatedly for payment before they actually paid like in SW. During the last recession the area that complained the most and even had neighbors stealing from eachother was SW but I digress, who am I to judge you people. I don't care what happens to you people. What ever suffering you continuously bring to yourselves, that's your headache. Enjoy your poverty

For anyone who still believe democracy is still alive in Nigeria, it should be clear to your eyes it is not. With what happened with the Osun election, it should be clear to your eyes that APC now controls INEC. Stop wasting your time asking people to collect PVC and vote. Please everyone seek visa and leave. For Godsake escape to a better country. Even other African countries is better. There are several African countries we can get into without Visa. Nigeria is a failure. There is no chance of it ever improving. If you're smart, waste your time seeking visa or citizenship of other countries instead of wasting your time collecting PVC to vote out a dictatorship party. We live in a dead country. Escape while you can because it's is now obvious Nigeria is on the slope to become the next North Korea.

Megatrix:
He wasn't weak, he simply chose to do the right thing

And that right thing is why we are in this mess. A dictator and his party was let in. I respect my elders so I have nothing but respect for GEJ but he was weak.

We knew that's the result even before the rerun. Who didn't know the reason the Saturday election was deemed inconclusive was to give APC chance to rig itself in. Even the rerun, they provided a video of a man refused by the police to go in and vote for Godsake.

I pray my Visa gets approved. I need to leave this country. I have to leave this country.

Iamgrey5:
I see a lot of people who often taunt Yorubas with the famous 'Osogbo backward city rant" are getting increasingly emotional about the election results.


What can be the reason for this change of attitude, I wonder

What's sad about this event is you Yorubas thinking this will anyway impact others. That your region election is rigged to the mass is full daylight of all Is a thing of pride to you people and a spite to others clearly shows you lots claim of educated is far fetchedd. Anyway, it is you people they'll go back to owning years of salary. Let any Yoruba complain of that again and I hope tunder fire that person before it happens. What a joke. Every day Yorubas proves their educational value is lower than what they say.

PassingShot:
You are a complete F00000L raised to power 1000!

For the last attempt at educating you, that coward named Kanu could have traveled out of UK with his British passport to another country where it's easy to use fake documents to enter Nigeria.

Walahi, you are a complete DUNCE!

More illogical rubbish from the one who believes he has high IQ. Idiot your attempt to make logic of your ignorance is Illogical based on transaction that happened during that time.

If Nnamdi Kanu entered Nigeria with fake documents, the idiots we have in FG would have used that opportunity to expose him instead they said he entered Nigeria without any passports, not Fake, but NO documents.

Also, If he entered Nigeria with fake documents, How come there was no such documents on him when he was searched? The only thing found on him was his real passports.

You're so much of an idiot that you cannot even keep up with the information of what you are talking about. Funny the dunce is calling someone a dunce. Similar to how you decieve yourself as someone with high IQ. I suggest go back and re-read the articles of each transactions that occurred at that time and reducate totally before making attempt to get into conversation of the subject talkless of getting an argument about it.

You are an idiot. Whoever lied to you that you have high IQ played a joke on you.

We're low in everything since Mr. Integrity took over

PassingShot:
You keep proving you're not intelligent.

I only stated that he didn't use any of his British and Nigerian passports. He must have used some forged documents to come in. Go find your low-level mates to engage.

Yet you believe you have high IQ. Britain is not Nigeria where security is weak. He wouldn't have been able to pass through Britain with fake documents nor would he have gotten in to Britain with fake documents especially since, thanks to Isis and other terrorist groups, securities have increased massively.

Also, why wasn't he arrested with the the fake documents? Why wasn't the fake documents exposed if such existed? Please stop talking. You keep exposing yourself as ignorant. Don't describe yourself as high IQ again

PassingShot:
How did he enter Nigeria without his British passport or the Nigerian passport?

There lies your answer.

And this is the man that believes he has high IQ.

Have you ever traveled international or even cross to Cameroon next door?
It's impossible to enter a plane and cross another border without a passport and it's highly impossible to cross international airport without a passport.

The accusations that he entered Nigeria without any passports is the illogical propaganda Buhari and his members came up with. Which was exposed as what is was propaganda when Nnamdi went to court to try and retrieve his passports held by the government, which they denied.

Please do not ever use the term high IQ to describe yourself again

Of course.

Buhari cannot read. I heard that from a friend who's dad is a politician. He signs papers without knowing what's in front of him. Only few bothers to read it to him.We have a president who is actually illiterate for real

PassingShot:
Ask this loquacious THING to provide evidence of his claim, he will start attacking you like a rabid dog that he is.

Only people of very low IQ take this mentally deranged guy serious anyway.

You believe OUK but yet call yourself high IQ. Oxymoron

PassingShot:
Couldn't it be that he escaped through an already identified exit while a siege was being laid by the security?

If he was indeed taken by the military, wouldn't at least someone see them take him away? In this era of super technology?

And how did he get to London since the FG are still holding his passports. FFK claims are more credible than OUK considering all the events that transcribed.

Ikenna0b:
He knows he's in London. I thought before he claimed he was in Cameroon. Another APC buffoon said he was in Ghana. Tomorrow now, another one will claim he's in South Africa. I wonder how APC politicians keep knowing where Nnamdi Kanu is yet have not made attempt to get him back or arrest him. Ironically enough, only they seem to know where he is. Not his family, not friends, not his group, heck not even other party's politicians, only ironically enough them.

The stupidest thing of it all from all this whole nonsense is that the Dullard and his cabinets forgot they took ALL of Nnamdi Kanu's passports. I wonder how he keeps going around this countries and now international without any passports. Nigga must have turned into a bird and grew wings.

Anyway, I'm not shocked. This slowpoke knows the illiterates they control so I expect the idiots to masterbate on the story. One, two, three, idiots do your job and don't disappoint us. Oya masterbate

APC does not think. Even when it's crystal clear the propaganda is stupid they'll still try to spread it. Did you see how they said they reduced poverty despite UN already reported 8000 Nigerians get poorer per day. What will sound stupid to us comes out right to them. The average Apc and BMC are illiterates like you said.

They are finalizing on how to perfect their corruption. Thieves

Racoon:
And while Kemi Adeosun & Abdurasheed Maina were well aided by the same APC government to escape justice Nigeria is a costly joke.

Hypocrites is what they are
