Is This Picture An Accurate Representation Of The 2023 Presidential Election?

MilesLamar:
Winner was announced and no body celebrated, Now are the 8 million people that voted for him? Are they too shy to celebrate their victory?? God help us.

CilicMarin:
Okay, we have heard. Now let Peter Obi frame them and put in his house as the Certificate Of Return from the INEC.

Ndi Ara! Clutching on anything to feel good.

Fahdiga:
Tinubu forced himself on Nigerians.

deji17:
Yes o.
Like the story of Jehosaphat in the bible, the enemies faced and destroyed one another.
Add Obi and Atiku vote in this last election, you will understand how God came through for Tinubu.

*AN ELECTION...*

An election that has turned Lagos from APC to another party other than PDP;

An election in which El-rufai could not deliver Kaduna;

An election in which Ganduje could not deliver Kano;

An election where Labour Party won in Nassarawa;

An election where atleast 7 popular incubent governors lost their bid for the Senate despite spending massively, to "nobodys" who barely spent anything;

An election where an Okada man and a driver have been reported to have won a seat in the Federal House of Representatives;

An election where the son of a nobody has finally been able to become somebody without the help of anybody;

Yet, you want to rubbish that election?

Because we didn't reverse it all completely?

How do we not see that THE CITIZENS have won already?!

How can we not see that the will of a people has prevailed over established political "structures"!

How can we not see that this is a MASSIVE win for democracy, and then plan to build on this even if the overall result doesn't fall as desired?

How can we not see that this is indeed the first election that the voice of the people has really mattered and has officially killed the age long narrative that *votes don't count*?

Shouldn't we start to celebrate this massive win for Nigeria;
Knowing it's the beginning of massive things to come?

Knowing that something has shifted and true change beckons?

Will blood on the streets be the only indication of change? And what guarantees does that offer?

Do we not see, that what happens from here is the most important thing?

Do we not see that how we build from here, is what matters most?

Do we not yet understand that anger is NOT a strategy and doesn't exactly produce the right result, but it is only an emotion
which, if channelled postively, should birth the right strategies?

Do we not yet see that we have achieved for the first time what has been impossible since the rebirth of our democracy in 1999?!

Are we so blinded by unguided passion that we will rather throw out the baby with the bathwater?

And cannot see that a massive thing just occured?

How many of you calling for blood on the street, is truly ready and willing to shed his/her blood?

Have we not checked history?

Have we not seen that those that died for change still did not fast forward the process of change?

For change still happened completely, ONLY in the process of time.

Can we therefore not see the massive step we have already taken?

And for those shouting, "The violent shall take it by force";

Did you not read your reference completely to understand that violence is the language of KINGDOMS and not DEMOCRACIES?

What exactly do we want?

Outside of the bandwagon mentality and somewhat unguided passion, have we truly defined what we want?

Every election Nigeria has had from 1999, with the exception of NONE, has been marred with protests, disenfranchisement of voters, and violence of massive proportions!

This election is not different, neither is it unique in that regard!

Some of the "tipexing" and "record changing" we have seen, which gives us the illusion that something monumentally wrong happened this time around, has actually been happening in much worse dimensions since 1999.

The only difference which we can't seem to appreciate is that for the first time, we have now been given a system in BVAS, that will shine light on whatever happens in the backend, and therefore, for the first time in our democratic history, the average citizen has been given eyes behind the scenes!

What a WIN!!!

All of this, therefore, makes this
election, the "closest" to CREDIBLE, or if you like, the closest to REALITY that we have ever had!

The pointers are littered all over the results we see!

We must really learn to separate things and not muddle them up with emotions.

We must be sincere enough with ourselves, to know when we have stopped fighting for our country and are just now performing for our individual egos and straddling the lines of arrogance.

If there be any grievances as would legitimately be expected, should we not then go through the established legal framework to address same?

NIGERIA HAS WON!

This election shows that much!

This victory, however, is a continium;

And in our lifetime, we will enjoy the fullness of it!

Fut9ure:
We now see exactly where the problem is in Nigeria
North is really not the problem of Nigeria

But the South west

They are taking advantage of the fact that north and south east are not in good terms due to the war fought in the past to continue romancing the north
I'm from the South South( Edo to be precise)

The only affirmation I want now is for INEC to come out and say that the elections did not go on as they promised Nigerians it would, and that it was riddled with wide spread violence, ballot snatching, voter intimidation, vote buying, and technical glitches to name a few.

Buhari is a monumental and collosal failure. He promised a free and fair election for posterity, but we forgot who he truly was.
Buhari and his demonic party APC used Nigerians to play out a perfectly scripted Chess game.
...Hoarded the currency, deployed military on the eve of the elections to make us let our guards down, starved our engines of fuel, and to crown it all, make his party members accuse himself and some party members of sabotage. Also he ensured his party lost in the state we did not think they would, to fly the narrative of a free and fair election. Yet the same evil people ensured they grabbed the needed 25% in those states.

The Perfect game plan.
Alas! We sparogatively trusted the untrustworthy!

Wickedfacts:
On behalf of the APC family on Nairaland I sincerely want to thank these 2 supporters of His Excellency, President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Special thanks to Peter Obi for going the extra mile to gather dumb, senseless people and ensuring they didn't vote Asiwaju's opponent.

Obidients, you were played

Softmirror:



TO THINK TINUBU WILL NOT WIN LAGOS STATE IS PURE ABSURDITY.

THEN, WHAT ABOUT EKITI? THE AREA OF EMPHASIS HERE IS, DESPITE EKITI BEING A MAJORLY YORUBA CHRISTIAN STATE. APC IS WINNING.

Djele:
Fake news, we are not going to any APC court. The youths are coming out for revolution.

bro4u:
Nigeria is gone if PO doesn't win- I'll be ashamed being called a Nigerian in an international gathering.

jieta:
We have been surviving: if agbado win we will survive even if atiku win we will also survive. Who would have thought that we will reach this stage with what buhari and APC are throwing at us.

ROYH:
So, I've been using this pc for quite some time now apart from the back up that it does not have, everything else is working perfectly until last year around June when I discovered that it's enter button and some other 2/3 buttons ain't functional again but since there's screen keyboard, I don't necessarily bother much about it as I can still be managing it.. So it wasn't in used as I do use it frequently again, so there's nothing to worry about until around December last year that I wanna use it and it started displaying this BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND

I don't know what's wrong with it maybe it's software problems or hardware.. Please any solution would be highly appreciated.

Ilaje1:
You guys should stop this misinformation. Mimiko won because he was popular in the state, not because LP was organized. Mimiko took his party machinery from AD to PDP to LP then back to PDP. Reason LP died in Ondo state when he left with machinery. The emergency people that joined him in LP are back at either PDP or APC. His time as a gov was really bad, alas people saw that he's not the messiah they have been waiting for. So they left him, reason he's politically useless now. Now he has moved to or he founded Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).

it's okay to do this to steal votes from southwest.
A lot of Yorubas are voting along ethnic lines, you can trigger religion there to steal more votes from BAT.

This is not going to effect Obi's voting block in the north, southsouth and southeast. The ethnic bigots who are Christians in southwest need to see a reason not to vote a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

If someone is already biased for ethnic reasons, you can bring him back for religious reasons
