MrMcJay:



There were rerun elections in that Katsina and Bauchi and APC won both.
You are hoping on Pdp shaving off part Apc's 2015 results. Does Pdp have federal might?

Or you think Apc would be fanning Pdp while they are shaving off Apc's votes.

This is PDP's first general election without federal might.

By Monday morning, Pdp would be stark naked like a trainee olosho.

In a free and fair election, APC will get much less votes than in 2015. The electric buzz of "change & sai baba" of 2015 is gone. Even with Federal might, people are not buying "next level" mantra like they bought "change".

Buhari has clearly under-performed. More poverty, more unemployment, continued poor security, etc.

The only thing is that 4 years may be too soon for some people to admit they made a mistake in 2015. You know human pride.

For me I want Buhari to win. Some people deserve 4 more years of hunger, suffering, darkness, weak currency, ASUU strikes & poverty for their eyes to clear at leisure.

I only sympathise with the innocent victims like children, the poor & victims of ritual killings, armed robbery, Boko & herdsmen.

Gafar14:
Very educating write up. meanwhile, I am still wondering what qualifies General Muritala portrait to appear in Nigeria currency. Herbat Merculy, Awolowo, Azikiwe, and others whose portrait appear on different Nigerian currency are known as founding fathers of Nigeria.

He was head of state and died tragically in a coup. Ironically death makes a hero.

For me the only redeeming feature of MRM was that he planned to hand over to civilians in 1979, which OBJ kept.

To see the importance of that, Buhari as military head of state had no plans to hand over to civilians & IBB after 8 years of promises failed to handover to an elected president. Abacha was set to succeed himself. It took death of MKO & both local & international pressure under which Abubakar succeed Abacha to bring democracy.

Otherwise Murtala ruined our civil service/institutions. Under guise of fighting corruption he sacked our civil servants employed & trained by colonial civil service. Senior staff were Oxbridge & other reputable universities' graduates. Our civil service never recovered from it till now. Our institutions remain very weak.

There is really no need to keep up with these permutation because the elections are 2 days away.

However, if this is a true report and anyone paid these guys to work for them, then they should ask for a refund. You can imagine Buhari winning Imo and Akwa IBM states. I'm sure Buhari himself is only looking to get some sizeble votes there.

Consultants have a way of doing nothing and making you believe theyve done so much, by churning out beautifully colored charts.

My own prediction is very simple: if Atiku gets 40% of votes cast in Kano and 45% of votes cast in Lagos, Buhari is in Daura. The difference in the SS/SE will make up for the lead Buhari will have in other states with extra to win the elections.

Jigawa, Katsina, Kaduna & Bauchi are states where total votes cast hover around or surpass one million each. If Atiku can shave off some figures from what APC got in 2015 in a at least three of these states in addition to a decent showing in Lagos & Kano, the race will be very tight. SW states are generally tighter than the noise APC makes. Delta & Rivers if won by PDP same as in 2015 too, a run-off election between Buhari & Atiku could become necessary being too close to call or the courts may have to decide.

If the suffering masses of SW, NW, NC & NE decide to punish Buhari by even 10 to 15% vote swing, Atiku might just nick it narrowly. But being narrow, APC will rewrite results to win. Tinubu, Oshiomole & El- Rufai will never allow APC concede defeat.

Durchmann:
This is the 3rd post on front page with misleading headlines I've noticed in the last 24 hours.
Whoever is behind this isn't innocent in anyway.

Mods, do your jobs please. Do not take your responsibility here lightly.
People's lives are about to be defined within the next 72 hours.

When you say Seun and his mod goons are APC agents, they will ban you.

If they ban me I will open three more monikers and post more here.

Nairaland probably has only 250,000 people/accounts anyway. The rest are 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th accounts of same people.

Now APC they will blame Dame Pat Jonathan for it.

APC are violent thugs. They had to remove Oyegun the gentleman to install the short devil thug Oshiomhole.

If APC lose they will never accept like GEJ did.

Anyhow, APC are ready to rig and write fake results.

That is why they want to jam network on election day.

In modern times on election day, local observers should be submitting results as soon as they are counted. but is submitted that way, writing fake results in favour ruling party will be difficult.

Johnayoola:
so they should get prepare to fight bandit right?? re they military personnel, stop trying to be foolish my friend

The dimwit guy wants to play smart. He just exposed his low IQ the more. Don't mind him.

Franzinni:
well you don't is a no brainer... But NIGERIA deserves better..... BUDDY!!!

Majority of Nigerians do not. A few and innocent kids do deserve better..
If we fail to focus on issues but wallow in ethno-religious stupidity and those supposedly enlightened refuse to vote, then we deserve what we get.

Yeeyo:
Buhari go and rest Nigerians are tired of you, your brain is too weak 2 handle Nigeria

Nor Worry, he will soon return to his 150 gay cows in May. His cows have remained 150 since 2003.

Under normal circumstances, Buhari should be a pariah in the South West. For humiliating Pa Awo and Pa Ajasin alone is enough. But some SW elite want crumbs from Northern table at the centre.

But Ogun is still the home state of Pa Awo, Fela, Beko Kuti, OBJ, Kudirat and MKO. People who directly suffered under Buhari or indirectly through Buhari's hero Abacha. People with an axe to grind.

jchioma:
Suffocation due to lack of space...

Everyone wants to Atikulate for a better Nigeria!

The people have suffered too much hunger under Buhari. No wonder the rush to Atikulate. Quick recovery to them.

They will soon remove slow Baba from Asoro Rock.

Turaki rice will soon flood everywhere. Like Shagari rice back then. Before Buhari returned hunger with his coup.

Buhari: hunger courtier!
Slow Baba : next hunger level!

You mean Alimi and Afonja gang support their Fulani brother in a Funta Jallon mode. Big deal.

BabaO2:
No one takes UN serious again.
Contrary to their stern warning and stand, America moved their embassy to Jerusalem nothing happens

UN is controlled by the UN Security Council member countries. The big boys. Sudan is of no interest to them for example. Sudan is very careful when it comes to harbouring terrorists now.
If the big boys want to use UN to do something, they get their way.

With so many Muslim countries as floor members of the UN, a right wing American leader will always bypass all the condemnation of largely those countries in UN and go it alone on Israel. History has always shown that. Check history.

But in invading Iraq twice in the last 29 years, they got their way at the UN.

bastardmod:
Hehehehehehe.... Buhari's village people don dey serious for him matter. Lifeless tyrant.

When a leader wants to end up in ignominy, he won't listen to good counsel from both friends and foe.
See where Maduro is heading now.

Most people home and abroad forgot Buhari's mediocrity and bigotry and broadly supported him. They just had PDP fatigue after 16 years. Something normal in politics.

He has squandered the goodwill of discerning people in under 4 years. Only ethno-religious fanatics and those with vested interest support him now.
To end up at his age as a pariah will be sap. I hope Tinubu and his goons have a conscience.

Ok

DrGoodman:
I said this yesterday. Ss is the decider 

Atiku and buharri cancel each other out in the whole north = Draw game
SE cancels SW out = Draw game
SS votes for Atiku will score the winning goal

SE residents unfortunately do not come out to vote in large numbers. Nnamdi Kanu calling for a boycott is not helping. Considering how close this election will be, just 250,000 people in SE not voting for whatever reason can make a difference.

Nor be after people go use a fresh moniker to seek Nairalanders' help thus:

(1) "I'm a popular Nairalander so I am using a new moniker. My husband shows me no love. In fact am fed up with this marriage. He beats me at the slightest provocation. Even though I tolerate his having many girlfriends".

(2) "I suspect my wife is sleeping with her boss. He calls her at odd hours. She stops talking on phone whenever I walk into the room and says only yes, no, ok".
So make una nor paint too much rosy picture here o.

emezuo17:
. Mr analyst, what brought Buhari, Atiku and Obasanjo together in 2014 against Jonathan?

My brother. Maybe the guy thinks OBJ and Buhari were best friends. Buhari worked under OBJ and baba Iyabo knows him too well. Buhari destroyed democracy that OBJ worked hard to bring after Murtala's death. Taking Nigeria back seriously that we still have not recovered from.
OBJ only supported Buhari to punish GEJ.

He ended up punishing the Nigerian masses.

StupidInyamiri:
What brought Obasanjo and Atiku together is not the love of the country but the enemy of my enemy is my friend ideology. Buhari is their common enemy because he's fighting against corruption. The same with Bukola Saraki and the rest of Corruption-in-Chief.

Ehhhhmm. In 2015 when OBJ could not control GEJ and supported Buhari to spite GEJ, you dey hail OBJ back then o. You see how life dey turn.

ollah2:


If this is true then Oba Akiolu isn't only a disgrace to Yoruba land, race but also a disgrace to every king that has ever lived. They should kick him away as soon and fast as possible.

A big chair does not make a throne. The actual thrown is considered sacred and traditionally "sanctified".

In Benin for example the throne Oba sits on depends on the ocassion. There are different thrones for different ceremonies and no other human sits on them.

The OP saying there are three thrones ALWAYS is funny. Other big comfortable chairs next to the Oba are not necessarily thrones the King uses.

Nice

baby124:
Even US has the highest mortality rate for pregnant women in the western world. Pregnancy can be a very dangerous time in a woman’s life. So many factors can cause death.

True. USA is quite high (about 14 per 100, 000 live births) for a Western country. Libya, Kuwait & Saudi Arabia have lower maternal mortality.

But still like paradise compared to Nigeria (814 per 100 Thsnd l/b).

EZINNE1759:
yass!

Unlike those fans we feel they're entitled to EPL title, YNWA fans just enjoy the beautiful game. We're not glory hunters. We're steeped in Glory, so no biggie.

fakeprophet:
you will hardly see an Aboki man insult his own. but the Afonja-alimi tendency in some yorubas will not stop them from betraying their own.

you can see the campaign of calumny the Escobar of Lagos was throwing @ Obj today.

born slaves!

The North only cares about a Northerner capable of winning presidential election. Nothing else matters.
So they will refrain from condemning their own if both horses in the race are theirs.

No matter how likely Buhari is to win, surprises do happen and Atiku can sneak it. If Atiku does win ALL Northerners will quickly rally around him. That is political sophistication and agenda. Not the one SW people claim.

EZINNE1759:
Liverpool should make me happy today. I'd totally likeeet!

And we did.

amina88:
And you want Nigerians to vote in PDThief so they will finally sell Nigeria. God forbid

Out of respect for a woman I will address you politely.

Dan Etete was petroleum minister under Abacha. The hero of Buhari that Buhari said never stole.

Do not let ethnic and religious bias blind you and stop you from understanding what you read.

[s][/s] My People perish for Lack of Knowledge.... Principles Govern the Earth.. when u break a Principle, You sign up for the Consequence

Kikikikikikikiki.
So you consider yourself knowledgeable. From those mushroom universities or backyard theology schools or twisted money-making doctrine?

It's more like occult knowledge devised by man that has no link with God.

god of men.

hisexcellency34:
What if Buhari loses and refuse to concede defeat?

If he looses El Rufai and other cabal members will ensure he does not concede.
I hope one candidate wins fairly and cleanly. If APC looses by same margin as GEJ did, they'll NEVER concede. They will declare it inconclusive. Citing malpractice.

Thank God.
I would have thought Mikel is still good enough to play for midtable teams in EPL and top leagues in France, Holland, Germany, Belgium eye. Aside Bayern Munich and PSG.
Rushing to China wasn't a good idea after all. Unless he made plenty of pension Money there. It made him disappear from European football radar.

bedspread:
This is Serious .....

Reminds me of a young man who insulted a man of GOD based on Rumors and fake news...

These guy ended up having an Accident, that got him carrying crutches, hevthen had Another Accident while still treating the first accident .....

Nobody told him... He knew the Source of the calamities and came by himself to plead for forgiveness....

Jesus forgave those who crufied him, but your proud man of God relishes in the suffering of a fellow man. Is that your pastor using Jesus as his role model?
This kind of mindset is what makes people more and sceptical of so called men of God.
