DaddyFreeze2020:
HOW 2023 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WILL PLAY OUT

1. South South is locked down for Obi
2. South East is locked down for Obi
3. South West is shared between Obi and Tinubu
4. North West is shared betwen Atiku, Obi, Tinubu & Kwankwaso (if the latter doesn't step down for Atiku)
5. North Central is shared between Obi, Atiku & Tinubu
6. North East is shared between Atiku, Obi, Tinubu & Kwankwaso

Gbengaolowe32:
It’s very obvious from my own view to avoid insult from any fellow Nigerians, you will discover that PDP without WIKE, IKPEAZU, ORTOM, MAKINDE Is already DEAD on Arrival. While Tinubu has been going up and down shouting Emilokan everywhere, almost relocate to North and have all his men doing serious work to Unite Christians and Muslim in order to achieve his own self ambition Peter Obi is busy touring the World and making his ambitions known to the World and the Country entirely to the extent that you could hardly see someone whom has never had about the slang Obi-dient He was in North last week and on Monday I heard he was in Southwest In Ile Ife and a lot more while ATIKU deed to his former BOSS and people perception about the Name ATIKU is FRAUD and this keep hitting hard on him because the allegation was made against him by his then Former boss and he can’t dare come and counter him then. He lives in Dubai and only come home almost every 4years to vie for presidency when he never made himself available in the country to know the masses problem but he want to rule. Let wait and see 2023 is going to be a great lesson for the Wicked ones

Until then it's all story. I am disappointed in the Dangote oil refinery project. It has been postponed more than 4 times. Why can't they just stop lieing and once it is done then they should tell us not stories all the time. It was to start operation in Q3, 2022
PoliticsRe: Dangote Refinery Must Be Nationalized On Completion by majole: 2:55pm On Aug 30, 2022
JewsAreSatanic:
That rent seeker made his money from scuttling the corridors of power like a rat that he is.

Every factory, plant he has under his portfolio was gifted to him free of charge reminiscent to how Jew rats got hold of Soviet corporations on a dime and will later become the oligarchs that plagued Russia during the disastrous Yeltsin years until Boss Putin arrived and chased them out to London, New York and Hellaviv. Today the richest demograph in London are these Jewish oligarchs.

Dangote refinery was built from scratch with full govt subsidy be it in special subsidized forex access where he had a special forex window that saw him paying far less than the average Joe to how the govt has waived import duties, taxes on equipments and machinery for his refinery. Even Lagos State govt subsidized the land allocation to him and he paid next to nothing for it.

Normally you idiots will say there is nothing wrong in govt granting Dangote subsidies but know that Dangote has personally seen to the blocking of licences to other potential investors in the downstream sector including that of modular refineries.

Dangote not only benefited from an unfair playing field with govt subsidy but he has also worked tirelessly to block investments in building refineries by other investors.

Dangote is a monopolist and from every indication the govt owned refineries are not working despite huge amounts invested in their turn around because Dangote wants only his refinery to operate in Nigeria.

He sited his refinery in Lagos for a variety of reasons but one major reason was to take over the west African market while getting crude at a highly lower rate than the prevailing market price.

Any sane govt that comes in place should nationalize the Dangote factory.

Peter obi will clearly win benue.majority here are Christians and hate anything fulani.obi will have 60%,tinubu 25% atiku 15%.
Obi will win the fct with 40%.tinubu and atiku will share the remaining 60% equally.with plateau being a Christian dominated state,obi might just win depending on where ex gov and ex convict dariye supports.if he supports or joins labour,obi will win plateau.as it stands pdp has no senator in plateau.their only senator istifanus gyang from plateau north has joined labour.therefore plateau north which is mainly berom who are fierce Christians will divide votes.plateau central will go where dariye wants while plateau south save for langtang will go apc.obi should gave 40%,others share 60%..
With Christians making 55% of taraba,obi will do well here.the people are tired of pdp and gov Darius.if gen t.y danjuma supports obi,he might just win but this is not certain....

IamAtikulate:
All APC 21 Governors worked with Oyetola, a sitting Governor and he still lost to Adeleke who has few PDP governors working for him.

The BVAS has taken away the Governors rigging power. The masses now have the power not over-rated governors.

Tell me how Ikpeazu working for Tinubu will make APC win? Will he tell Abians to vote for APC and they will follow him foolishly?

If Tinubu who just won APC presidential ticket couldn't convince his own people to vote Oyetola, his core loyalist, is it a Wike, Ikpeazu or Ortoms that will tell their people to vote for a Moslem Moslem ticket?

Like Reno said, nobody campaigns for Tinubu without sounding stupid.

Shascky33:
Judging from the trend so far, the 2023 election is a 3 horse race between Atiku Abubakar, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Peter Obi. I used the political developments in all 36 states including the FCT, people's opinion and news developments. Atiku was second to Buhari in 2019 and so far will inherit the votes of nothern youths.
Asiwaju will sweep the southwest and garner votes in the north but won't do well in the south/south and south/east.
Peter Obi will sweep the south/east and south/south, put up a fight in the north central.
The result below is in percentage.

NORTHWEST: PDP-45. APC-25. LP-10. NNPP-25.
NORTH/EAST: PDP-50. APC-30. LP-10. NNPP-10.
NORTH/CENTRAL: PDP-35. APC-30. LP-30. NNPP-5.
SOUTH/WEST: PDP-20. APC-55. LP-23. NNPP-2.
SOUTH/SOUTH: PDP-30. APC-17. LP-50. NNPP-3.
SOUTH/EAST: PDP-20. APC-8. LP-70. NNPP-2.


Obi will do well in the north central because of christians in plateau, benue, nasarawa and fct, while kwara and kogi are for Tinubu.

I saw this all over the internet concerning largest Nigerian Tribes.


Truth be told, Igbos are not larger than Ijaws in population.
You see Ijaw everyday but they dont carry it on their heads �. Reason Ijaw controls the whole Niger Delta the way they like and all Niger Delta groups cry � out saying Ijaw marginalize them and lord it over them.
Only Cross river state have over 15 tribes Akwa-Ibom have 5.
Where Ijaw occupy in the Niger Delta is as big as Igboland.
Ijaws are in more than six states and all Ijaw areas share perfect boundaries with each other but were unjustly balkanized into more than six states.


8 Largest Ethnic Groups In Nigeria


Nigeria has been referred to as "The Giant of Africa," due to the large population and distinct economic achievements in comparison to countries that surround this land. Nigeria is found in West Africa and borders Benin, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger. Nigeria is a fascinating country; in the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, there are over 500 ethnic groups and over 500 languages spoken! Explore the eight largest ethnic groups in Nigeria below:

Hausa

The Hausa are the biggest ethnic group in Nigeria. With estimates of their population reaching 67 million, Hausa make up approximately 25% of the Nigerian population. The Hausa culture is homogenized, meaning, throughout Nigeria, the Hausa culture is extremely similar. Hausa are known for raising cattle and other stock, growing crops and trading. Hausa are also recognized for practicing Islam as their main religion. Being the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, Hausa have always been some of the main players in Nigerian politics since Nigeria was granted independence from Britain in 1960.


Yoruba

Individuals who designate themselves as Yoruba make up approximately 19% of the population of Nigeria, making them the second biggest ethnic group in the country. Yoruba are usually identified as Christian or Muslim, although a lot of Yoruba still uphold traditional aspects of their ancestors' religious practices and beliefs. This ethnic group upholds many cultural traditions, including music and culture festivals, traditional Yoruba art, and conventional architecture. The Yoruba culture has historically relied on large populations in a centralized location and an Oba (King).

Igbo

The Igbo people of Nigeria make up approximately 17% of the population. They have long been opposed to Sharia law in Nigeria, with most Igbo identifying as Christian. Igbo society, unlike the Hausa and Yoruba, is non-hierarchical and not reliant on a centralized society. The Igbo are an essential part of the oil trade in Nigeria's southeastern region. In 1967, Igbo fought with the Nigerian government to achieve independence. This was a two and a half year battle in which Igbo people were subjected to brutal conditions, many starving to death during this time. Since this war, Igbo have been reintegrated into Nigerian society; a lot Igbo still feel marginalized by the status quo in Nigeria.


Ijaw

The Ijaw live in the Niger River Delta area of Nigeria and constitute around 14% of the population of the country. The Ijaw have historically had tensions with the rest of the Nigerian population. The lands in which the Ijaw inhabit are extremely oil-rich. This is bittersweet for the Ijaw people, as oil exploration has subjected their land to ecological vulnerability. Mismanagement of these oil revenues has kept a substantial amount of the wealth from returning to the Ijaw community. Goodluck Jonathon, the Prime Minister of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015 identifies as an Ijaw, and his election to the highest office in Nigeria was a proud moment for Ijaw people.

Kanuri

The Kanuri people are found in northeastern Nigeria. Their population is believed to be around 4% of Nigeria (approximately 4,000,000). The regions in which Kanuri live are largely impractical for outsiders to reach. Kanuri people are predominately Sunni Muslims. Boko Haram, an Islamist insurgent group in the North of Nigeria, are mostly of Kanuri descent. This group seeks to express many of the Kanuri grievances towards the Nigerian government. Although the Kanuri culture is rich with tradition, Boko Haram are using their lands as a base for operations, and innocent Kanuri people have been subjected to violence and Sharia law.


Fulani

Since the Fulani War (1804-1808), the Fulani people have been intertwined with the Hausa of Nigeria. This is largely due to intermarriage and Fulani living among the Hausa population. Fulani and Hausa together make up approximately 29% of the population of Nigeria. Fulani adopted Islam early, and a large section of the Fulani people are recognized as excellent Islamic clerics. Along with the Hausa, Fulani people have also been a dominant presence in the sphere of Nigerian politics since independence in 1960.

Ibibio

The Ibibio, mostly found in southeastern Nigeria, have a rich oral history passed down through generations. These people have lived in this part of Nigeria for several hundred years. This ethnic group numbers approximately 4.5 million which is equivalent to 3.5% of the population of Nigeria. Ibibio people in the region also inquired (with the British Crown) to become their own sovereign nation within Nigeria (pre-independence). Today, Ibibio predominantly identify themselves as Christian. Ibibio has an amazing artistic culture, most known for creating intricate wooden masks and carvings.

Tiv

The ethnic group known as Tiv are well known for their agricultural produce and the trading of this produce. This is one of the only sources of income for the group. The Tiv people all trace their ancestry back to an ancient individual also named Tiv, who had two sons. Some Tiv people identify as Christians, even less as Muslim. The traditional religion of Tiv, based on manipulations of forces by humans who have been entrusted by a creator God, remains strong within the Tiv populace. Tiv only make up 3.5% of the Nigerian population, making them one of the smaller ethnic groups within the country.

Other Ethnic Groups In Nigeria

The remaining ethnic groups in Nigeria make up 12% of the Nigerian population. These groups include Ebira, Edo, Gwari, Jukun, and Igala, to name a few. The middle belt of Nigeria is well known for its diversity, with many of these remaining groups living in this part of the country. Although Nigeria is rich in her diverse ethnicity, many of these groups mentioned above live segregated from others. Most ethnic groups in Nigeria have formed illegal vigilante or militia groups, protecting their interests from other groups within the country.

1 Hausa 25.1%
2 Yoruba 19.0%
3 Igbo 17%
4 Ijaw 14.0%
5 Kanuri 4.0%

It's difficult to have a non_bias analysis about Nigeria by a Nigerian. IJAW 14% says who? That is for every 100 Nigerians 14 are ijaws, that's absolutely INCORRECT
