Tinubu's northern vote in the mud

Flathead8:
Show me

So you don't know this? You believe that propaganda that one local government in the north has more voters in the entire south east? I laugh

Flathead8:
Lol what will BVAS do, make them vote PO?

Yorubas be like " the North love us, the north hate igbos" this attitude will return you to regional politics where Buhari recently pulled you out from

[quote author= post=121016597]Wait for BVAS[/quote]Apart from that, those votes were for Buhari and Tinubu will never inherit them. Buhari's ANPP ruled borno then to CPC and finally APC, Ogbonnaya Onu was party chairman then while Chuba Okadigbo was VP candidate. Yorubas were confined to their tribal enclave then before attaching themselves on Buhari to come up small. They will be sent back as Buhari leaves office. Meanwhile Biu in southern Borno has been overrun by Labour Party

PDP supporter don join fake news gang?

NwekereNdoki:
Igbos miscalculate and overhype Lagos sometimes.

I did the maths and i found out that investing in the east will give you access to bigger market than Lagos.

Here is how.

South South and South East has a population of 26 and 22 Milllion people respectively. If you combine them together that's 48 million people.

South West has a total population of 32.5 million people.

Now if you observe the attached map there are two circles I drew there. The yellow and the blue circle.

The yellow circle consist of what I call the economic catchment areas of Eastern Region. This catchment areas includes SS/SE and some parts of Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea.

As I mentioned, minus Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea, the total population of SS/SE alone is a market catchment area that's more populated than SW.

What this means is that citing an industry in SS/SE will give you access to more market than the market available in SW. Some of our Igbo brothers are always deceived that Lagos has the population hence the need for them to set up industry in Lagos/Ibadan axis. That's a big lie. Only Abia, Owerri and PH will give you whatever market you need to sell your product. And also, it is a known fact that most of these stuffs produced in Lagos/Ibadan axis finds their way into SS/SE. Example snacks and biscuits.

Now if these things still comes to SS/SE and gets consumed what is the sense in now going as far as Lagos to set up this factories when in actual sense if u set it in SS/SE you get access to more ready market and population. Now if I go further to add Equitorial Guinea and Cameroun you know what this means.

Now let's talk about the blue circle.
As you might have observed, Abuja is closer to SE/SS than Lagos/SW. Now if this is the case why do our people still think they should cite their bizness in SW/Lagos/Ibadan when they can cite it in SS/SE and get to the market in Easter NC, NE and Abuja faster?

I have contemplated on this and I honestly don't see the sense of setting up industries in this areas when at the end of the day your goods gets consumed more outside the region you set up factory.

Innoson is a good example that proves that setting up in SE/SS is more viable than SW. From Nnewi Innoson can easily sell to Abuja, NC, Cameroun, Equatorial Guinea, etc.

Let me reemphasize. SE/SS has more population and ready consumers than SW. SE/SS can easily distibute to Abuja, Eastern NC and NE easily cause of proximity than shipping from Lagos to these areas.

It is important Igbo industrialists lock down the economic zones and market of NE, Eastern NC, SS, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroun.

If we can successfully lock down this market, we can then scale up and compete to get other regions like NW, Western NC and even SW, then global markets.

Let's start with the market in this areas first (NE, Eastern NC, SS/SE, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroun).

It is important we build factories within SE/SS in order to stay close to these market and capture them. Proximally speaking, it makes more sense to build industries in SE/SS than building in Lagos/Ibadan. Most of the cities and states with higher Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) exist within our market region. LET'S BUILD INDUSTRIES CLOSE TO IT AND LOCK IT.

I know people will give me reasons like Seaport and the rest not functional in SS/sE that's why people set up there. Well i disagree.

We can still set up here and push thru our leaders that the available ports be functional, or even invest towards building and owning one. We need leaders in the SE to be more proactive in the next 4 years. it should not be about just building road and flyovers now. it is now an existential matter. They must push and float investment companies that will go round and see stuffs that hinders our productivity and see ways to invest in ensuring that stumbling block is removed. Akwa Ibom state is building a seaport, this investment front funded by all SE states can go and invest in it and secure the goodwill of the state and secure right of access instead of complaining and waiting for FG to wake up. FG is slow, waiting for them will make us waste precious time.

Thank God seaports are now in the concurrent list. SE governors can work with states like Akwa Ibom (preferable to avoid Ijaw wahala) to get concession to build ports at their coastal line. This port must not even be funded from the state covers of SE. Funds can be sourced from investors while the front runners will be the investment company set up by SE Gov Forum. I know this is what SEREDEC was design to function as. I hope we get to the point where we start having the conversation. SW is doing it already, buying and owning OML thru their investment front (Odua investment group).

It is important we realize that this time around, the next four years should not be about roads and flyovers. State governors can not develop SE within the shortest possible time. They must work with private investors which we have in abundance, but the brick wall has been trust and lack of passion from government.

Only one gov in SE has started going this route, it may sound surprising but it's Abia. As it stands, Abia State via EEC has now taken over Enugu - PH expressway and Onitsha - Aba - Owerri expressway. They will toll it and make money from it in the coming years.

This is what I pray to start seeing in SE.

Aba is more strategically located than Lagos

Penguin2:
Not massive enough considering how Shettima is hyped.

I can still see empty spaces everywhere 😏.

And why are they all wearing Asoebi 🤔?

Thank you. Nothing to gloat about in this picture

Officialgarri:
The one in Oyo . These ones aren't on twitter o. These are the real voters .

Obi hasn't garnered such a crowd in his entire campaign, even in the South East where he's from

Lol. Small venue

renderme:
But Buhari has stopped money politics and showing politicians pepper, how are they renting?

No massive crowd here

Nothing massive here

Dsalvo:
Lol. Obidullard in pain. It is a contextual example because Obi's camp are by far the biggest champion of fake news and outlandish propaganda.

Run along and cry to mummy because I mentioned your loser messiah who is the real and 100% proven coward.

Face the topic coward

Dsalvo:
Does it matter or do Nigerian politicians need to be taught how to play dirty? How many of Obi's endorsement have turned out fake despite been reported by various news sources?

As usual, the coward brings Obi into the matter and run away from people that carried what he term fake news. Afonja, who do una this thing

Dsalvo:
Yes that is the fantasy losers want to believe. The whole "God will deal with them" and Karma thing.

Yet all I see, decades in and decades out, is the children of the rich and privileged replacing their "greedy fathers".

The kids of El Rufai will be no different.
Want to make a change and deliver a more meritocratic Nigeria? Get involved, as some of us are doing.

Stop hyperventilating and cursing bitterly on the sideline as losers and over-religiously hopeless people do.

God does not do politics ala "Heaven hell those who help themselves". He leaves that to humans.

I don't even understand you again. Where are the children of Awolowo, ahmadu Bello, azikiwe etc? Do away with yoruba monarchist mentality

Dsalvo:
Fake news is for gullible elements like you that callous 'influencers' use to get their ways against others. That is my point. Yes we will all see how things go down after next week.

The question is, fake news by who? If a recognized Hausa media can carry such fake news then Tinubu is in trouble

Dsalvo:
I don't know how a normal human being who expects others to view him as intelligent can write so much garbage over what is likely fake news packaged for those who are illiterate and gullible. Why not even tell us they lunched El Rufai himself while he was riding an Okada?

Your frustration is palpable. Keep banking on 'alagbara' Buhari, with one leg out of the door of Nigerian politics for good, to lead Obi to Aso Rock.

Whether you people like it or not, Buhari is gone and the countdown has begun. He will soon be forgotten and politics will be about the future players still active.

For all the noise and messiah worship of GEJ, Amaechi, Osinbajo and co, before the APC Primaries, where are those guys today and who talks about them anymore? They are all yesterday's men and are done.

That is Nigeria politics but you're IPOBian and therefore cursed to never understand it. 😎😎

Yorubas have never been successful in national politics. You are the one who needs to learn the game. Until you understand that national politics is not a call for everybody to join you in fighting Igbos, you will remain local champions. Hausa media reported the news but you are cowardly shouting IPOB. You will soon find out the difference between buying corrupt delegates and winning the masses. Meanwhile, old notes remain invalid

Lagos State judiciary rejects old notes but Lagos State governor is deceiving you to collect it.

Mention one thing built and completed by Tinubu

This is the person Tinubu supporters are hoping to bring Kaduna votes

Exactly what we have been saying

Naira20:
Kikikiki... No one is spending Old notes here.
The deal is electronic transfer or buy on credit.

Everyone is his brother's keeper because we know what Tinubu wants to plunge Nigeria into.

We've adjusted since and we await February 25,2023 to retire Tinubu and this wicked politicians.

That said,

There's nothing like one North in this election.
This election is between Nigerians and the thieving politicians

They are praising the North for their inability to evolve and adapt because they want to take advantage of them to smuggle Tinubu into aso Rock

Any institution handed over yorubas, they will just ruin it.

flokii:
No cabal is bigger than the people... Asiwaju's chances just got a boost.
I say boldly that Northerners are some of the best pals of the Yorubas in Nigeria.. but for some disgruntled elements amongst them.

Adamu and likes probably thought El-Rufai, Ganduje and co. would go quiet while they hatch their plans but got the shocker of their lives..

However you want to view it, governors are CSOs of their respective states and are permitted by extant Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to maintain law and order in their states

Take it easy with the assliking

Yes, Nigerians are now united to vote out APC

oyin44:
The north believes that if the power is shifted to the south it would augur well for peacefully development of the nation

That is why the North will vote massively for Peter Obi

OsunOriginal:
Zombidients and the irredeemably corrupt supporters of Atiku want to tell you the north will betray Tinubu. This is the narrative that makes it possible for them to sleep at night. So, they want to keep saying it and selling it to others. Today, the governors leading the fight for Tinubu in the face of machinations and betrayal from the crooked Aso Rock cabal are northern governors. The most vocal voices on Tinubu's side today are from the north. This should send a message to zombidients even before the election.

Afonja cowardly slaves. Thiefnubuu is being scammed by the governors. The masses are not with them. General election is not primary election, you will soon find out the difference

These hired urchins should allow sensible people comment

ronalmagic10:
Ipbo rest na. Your crying is becoming too much boy

Deji is now IPOB. Mumu urchin

They will be dealt with if they try nonesense. Tinubu thinks he can always buy his way through

God doesn't come down from heaven to actualize his wish. He use humans to do that

FarahAideed:
We told you Buhari will end up killing the banking industry..I pity those supporting this nonsense policy ..Bankers are withdrawing their services 5 days to election

Only Tinubu is to be pitied here

Only in States that recorded attacks. Good one. Waste side how market

A vast empty land is wasting in Anam. Akpaka Forest GRA expansion could not continue along the Niger because no bridge over Omanbala at the confluence. One need to go as far as Aguleri before you can cross over to the other side. Soludo should build this all important bridge now to open up the northern shore of the Niger for onitsha expansion
