Now that the Igbo is at the receiving end they've come to their aid. That's how they saved baby(yosi)mama and biafrangirl when they tried to ridicule Buhari and his wife. Anybody who starts any wahala should be ready to suffer the consequences of the troubles he created.

ejibaba:
I doubt a Muslim will ever win Taraba state

You still have not jettisoned what destroyed the PDP.

tit:
this fool talks again!
How is he going to make governors declare assets apart from what is stipulated in the constitution?
Does he think he has power over the governors!

You got problem with comprehension or what?

cyberguy72:
APC lies and propagandas and God's grace have 1 thing in common :they are new every morning

What do you mean lies and propaganda? Who looks more like a liar between APC and PDP?

Sunnybobo3:
Did any of them come from Jonathan?

The voice of Jacob, .......

PDP won't just go quietly. They should know that their anyhow era is gone, forever.

Within the last hour, we received a very disturbing news that Alhaji Hamad Makama, the Returning Electoral
Commissioner for Taraba state, is refusing to release the Taraba South election results. He is alleged to have
collected N1billion bribe from Abuja, with a view to manipulating the results in favour of PDP, thus denying Senator Aisha Al-Hassan her mandate as the duly elected Executive Governor of the state.
Based on results collated by agents and independent observers alike, everybody knows that Senator Aisha Al-Hassan is the duly elected Executive Governor of
Taraba state. No amount of bribery and delay tactic by the Jonathan cabal can deny Senator Aisha her historic victory, and the electorates’ mandate.
Alhaji Hamad Makama, be informed that your name is already in file. Your action is considered a war crime by
legal experts. We will therefore leave no stone unturned in making sure that you show up at the ICC!
We urge all law abiding Nigerians, especially the good people of Taraba to remain on vigil until this treacherous
gangster releases the full results as recorded in every Polling Unit in the state.
May God save Nigeria and Nigerians. Ameen.

Those power brokers who pick the winners have moved to APC of course.

If you remove the title of APC and take another look, what is the difference between it and Obasanjo's 2000's PDP??

Not much. Only real difference is Tinubu

Add the masses too.

ajalaolanr:
the card reader changed.

True. Maybe the PDP saw that, hence their kicks against it.

omenka:
Card reader and publication of figures of PVCs collected. That's what.

Yes, true that. From now on we'll be having elections that are truly representative.

Sunnybobo3:
GEJ is the father of a new democratic Nigeria. He promised free and fair elections and he has delivered same.

Military takeover?
Interim government?
6 weeks BH war?
Buhari doesn't have 'certificate'?
Buhari, Tinubu, Osinbajo documentaries?
Buhari's cancer?
Capital of Nigeria and Central Bank moving to Lagos?
Military intimidation of APC bigwigs?
Asari, Clark, & Co.?
OPC?
MASSOB?
Chatam House anti-Buhari protests?
There's no way Buhari will rule this country - Okupe?
Card reader rejection?
etc. etc.

There's nothing they didn't try. It's just that the fight is bigger than them.

Thank God we have people like OBJ, Falana, Shehu Sani, Solomon Dalung, the progressive press, the Nairaland progressives, and well-meaning Nigerians hellbent on changing a system that is running the country aground.

Gabrielsylar:

GBAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't know about PDP pre-card readers.
Gbam!!!!!

Rose2014:
U made some good points. On my part, I have elders in my family so I understand idioms and proverbs when used however when an Oba(from a supposed sacred throne) swears to Allah, licks his finger n raises it, while threatening genocide, his stance is no longer proverbial

And you believed in this age that there's an Oba whose office is regulated under the constitution that can herd people and push them into a water. Better believe it, the lagoon is a cultural reference applicable to anybody (not just Igbo) seen to be working against the interest of Eko.

Do you believe this view also? The general belief in the north was that nobody hated them like Ojukwu, but it's on record that he had a child with a northern woman, and even left an inheritance for the child.

Life is discovery. We "may" all be wrong, you know.

hucienda:
President Jonathan has indeed set a precedent for politicians across the divide not only in Nigeria but in Africa as well.

Congratulations El-Rufai. Great Sportsmanship Yero.

President Jonathan hasn't set any precedent. There's a Nigerian adage which says, 'By turning a bigger fight into a joke/play, you may save your life.'

What have they not done to turn their fortunes around? Some fights are better turned into a joke, my man!

teemanbastos:
u must ave been in dreamland all dis while
el-rufai's victory was Not Surprising

Not surprising? Maybe in the new dispensation! In the old PDP, 20,000 people may vote and a 'winner' may emerge with 150,000 votes.

Rose2014:
Maybe you need to watch the video again
Oba wasn't referencing anything o
He even swore to Allah sef while threatening Lagoon genocide

The Sovereign may here and there use a little whip to keep people in line. But largely it was a cordial gathering with laughs and even singing.

Honestly, we always fall by literally translating what shouldn't have been. You know the Buhari's, 'Dogs and baboons soaked in blood' is still viewed by many to mean to shed blood, while in all sincerity it only means "a hotly contested race."

If we don't understand other people's tradition and ways, it's better to ask them. My inability to understand, for example, the Igbo personality always makes me to have an open space, though I may argue insistingly, in the hope that the other view may be seen.

Honestly I never gave El-Rufai a chance. The PDP is known for declaring whoever they want as the winner. What has changed for the PDP?

The reference to the lagoon swallowing all those working against the interest of Lagos is a cultural thing. It shouldn't be taken literally as somebody trying to deny others life. The Obas and people of Lagos have used and will continue to use the phrase. So, why is it an issue when the Oba reminded the Igbos of the cultural ethos and metaphors of Lagos.
