Beaf na very CORRECT guy.

A true son of ND who has refused to be bullied by the BB gang diaspora branch.

All these mallams think they are smart.  yeye people .

They called it a plan against PDP, when actually it is a plan against a southerner becoming president. If actually it is a plan against PDP then why are they not initiating this through the parties the northern aspirants represent?  I dey laugh.

The first merger produced atiku and he was disgraced. This one will not be different

Alj Uche: why didn't you [size=15pt]added[/size] borno to your list

why is jega allowing GEJ to use him like this

With all these kpooaas , it beats me how people like you still have the effrontery to abuse patience Jonathan

texazzpete:
To be honest, it's even worse to see any educated person supporting GEJ and the PDP by extension.

Its even more pathetic for educated people to forget that the likes  Amaechi  and sullivan chime ,  two governors whose achievments stand toe-to-toe with fashola are PDP governors.

It is even worse to  refuse to see that a sizeable chunk of those that call themselves opposition/progressives are former PDP members that have contributed in the rot we now see.

My friend forget this "dont vote PDP"  line. smart people are looking at the candidates irrespective of the party, because fundamentally there is'nt much difference between all the parties.

We are now shouting ACN because of fashola, what some people are now asking is , what happened to the 8 wasted years of Tinubu's administration.

Jakumo:
Rusher 14 please don't RUSH to conclusions about whether the incumbent president could possibly be worse than a known Islamist extremist and mass-murdering tyrant with a sadistic streak as wide as all outdoors, an ingrained characteristic so eloquently demonstrated by the brigandage of Ayatollha Buhari-Bin-Laden's hired election hoodlums.

If you are indeed an Izon man, then I ask that you consider the half-century that elapsed between the time crude oil was first EXPLOITED beneath the soil of your ancestral homeland, and the time your home-boy Johny B. Goodluck ascended to power as the FIRST president with blood ties to the swamps and seas from whence petroleum, Nigeria's life-blood, springs.   When you visit Nigeria's capital, Abuja, look at the signs of affluence around you, and note how starkly they contrast with the dying creeks and islands of the Niger Delta, where oil spills and gas flaring have reduced an entire people to a vanishing species in their own homes, by poisoning both the waters they fish, and the land they TRY to farm.

Considering Nigeria's upcoming electoral choice between an expired and terminally ill ex-military tyrant, Ayatollah Buggari, one one hand,  and an Izon, Itshekiri, Urhobo or Ikale tribesman on the other, the choice for Nigeria's next president must, in the interest of lasting PEACE, reflect both an overdue acknowledgement of the role crude oil income has played in Nigeria's chequered history, along with a resounding REFUSAL to consider inviting the Demons of Nigeria Past into ANY role of political significance, for as long as they waste precious oxygen.

Thank you so very much.

Dont mind that  confused rusher guy , an impostor laying  claim to IZONESS. May be he  needs lenses to see how Buhari  ayatolla treated his people in the very recent past when he headed PTF.  42% of all PTF projects went to the north west region where Buhari hails from and one confused boko-haramish arewa dude comes to a forum like this to talk nonsense.

Dumb people who will not ask simple questions and the source of stories are out to hear the next "GEJ gives 120 billion naira to win Ekiti".

Any negative allegation about GEJ needs no questions, and needs no evidence. People just refuse to engage their brains and ask simple questions.

People have not stopped to ask who this Joe igbokwe man is and his interest in this elections. N10 billion ko, N100 trillion ni.

With all this noise , some people will commit suicide after GEJ wins clean in this coming elections.

blink182:
He's an Ijaw man, squandering free money is what they're good at. I even believe he's modest probably by the time he comes back through rigging he'll show his full true colour

Will you stick to issues here and stop this childish rant? So what do you say of Yorubas in lagos that live in one room face-me-i-slap-you apartment getting loans to organise OWAMBE?

;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d i still dey laugh

jabbok:
Avoid the truth @ your own Peril! Sai Buhari. Buhari Ebeano!

you are wrong, on the contrary its at the peril of your entire lineage. Just tell me why over 40% of all ptf projects in 4 years went to Buhari's north west then we can start talking. rubbish.

Abu-Maryam:
How much have you been paid to come and post this thrash ??

And how much have you been paid to ask this foolish question?

^^^^^^^^^^^
Thank you.

noblezone:
- Buhari was the Chariman of Abacha's Petroluen theiving Funds.
- In Anambra State, we did not have any impact of Buhari's acheivement during the Theiving Funds.
- Did you say to promote justice, equity, tranparency and fairness? I laugh in WAZOBIA. Buhari is a tyrant, who used the gun given to him to protect the law, to trample on the law, jailed journalists for writing the truth.

Avote to Buhari is a voite to tyrany.

Good point. see below:

The truth is that Buhari ran a clearly lopsided organisation with its plethora of consultants concentrated in the northern parts of the country. This issue of disparity in project execution was one of the reasons critics of the Fund kicked against it. The imbalance in PTF distribution of projects and award of contracts is so glaring when one views the North-West Zone against other zones. The South-Eastern Zone is worst hit by the lopsidedness of the Fund in projects selection and execution.

For example, contracts awarded by PTF in the six zones as at December 1998 revealed that the zone made up of Jigawa, Kaduna Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara state grabed the lion share of all the four projects. Road rehabilitation 27.42 per cent, Education sector (NHERP) 34.82 per cent, Education sector (HEMPP) 30.64 per cent. Health sector 55.37 per cent, Food supply 60.54 per cent. This is against zone , made up of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo State, having 5.34 per cent, 4.04 per cent, 10.57 per cent, 6.53 per cent, 4.02 per cent, respectively.


Also Zone VI, made up of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo Rivers, state had 8.07 per cent 19.48 per cent, 13.77 per cent 13.26 per cent 5.57 per cent in same order. Even zone I made up of the six western state Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo Osun and Oyo States did not fare better when compared with the zones in the northern states. The injustice of PTF in the case of Lagos is particularly more disturbing, when it is considered that Lagos is the economic nerve centre of the country.

Buhari can only be president in Arewa republic . Dreaming to grow the GDP annually by 10% when he will not even have 20% of our current opec daily output is really laughable.

A lot of people have not considered how dangerous a united SE and SS can be. I just dey laugh, somehow i feel abokis still have some sense in them and will do the right thing , becuase "born to rule" no go work dis time o.

On a lighter note Buhari knows that Tunde Idiagbon was the man running the show for him then, hence he decided to pick another Tunde Bakare. yeye mallam.

timbuk two:
@ beaf

either way, whether it's 100% 60% or just 10 people, it's a non-issue. i don't think the nuances of our OIC "membership" is deserving of a place in the list of this country's top 100 biggest problem. what we should be talking about are the candidate's positions on corruption, power, economy, blah blah blah.

using religion to manipulate the masses (as you are doing here) is a tactic loved by bigots and fundamentalists. are you actually scared of Islam? do you hate really just hate Muslims? why do so many of your posts play heavily on racism, tribalism and hatred? are you actively trying to incite fear and anger in your fellow Nigerians? such a shame.

will you shut that mouth of yours if you have nothing to say? Its only christians that are admonished not to consider these things. Turn it around and present a "zionist" and tell the abokis that it doesnt matter.

If you dont know this country enough , improper handling of religious matters can jeopardise everything---- power, corruption etc.

manuch:
DORA has the uper hand cos its a apga governed state.

I also understand women are planning to vote for her massively. But Ani okonkwo has actually done well and has the cash to fight this election.

monkeyleg:
Its a shame, that the typical Nigerian, including some on here have quickly turned this whole election thing into North Vs South. It should be about issues and policies of which the most damaging of all is corruption. Really if Nigerians can leave sentiments aside and focus on issues, there is really no basis for considering Goodluck, absoluetly none. But as usual the typical naija fella is politically lazy

This is my problem with most of you. On the one hand you say people should look at the candidates and vote wisely, and on the other hand you seem to be saying if you are considering jonathan then you politically lazy. And i ask how?

The main item Buhari says he is bringing to the table is a corruption free Nigeria and people have started asking why PTF was not corruption free, and if a relatively small organisation like PTF could not be managed, then how will he be able to manage the entire nation.

You are saying tribe should not come in to the equation and may be you are right, but people are asking why 42% of all PTF projects went to Buhari's NW region ?

Abeg vote you own and allow others decide for themselves.

jason123:
After calling them rascals?? Yeah, some of them have a right not to support gej!

Some guys need to go back to school. Can you post the actual statement of GEJ and explain how a supposedly educated folk like you came up with your conclusion?

Nice analysis.

I however noted the following which you somehow did not factor into your analysis

1. In kano you seem to be ignoring the shekarau effect. He will have a good showing here and most of his supporters are those that would have voted for BB . This alone would change the predictions in the first run.

2. You have given too much votes to BB and Ribadu in the SS and SE. i tell you these areas will be cleanly swept by GEJ.

3. Using the 2003 Buhari performance may not be correct becuase you seem not to have considered the deficit structure of CPC in a National election. ANPP was a much bigger,better structured party and that affected the final polls.

Jarus:
Even Jonathan himself will not say that.
You obviously know nothing about voting history and current reality in Nigerian politics.

Well may be you are correct, but lets not lose sight of the OP's message. The opposition is set to shout "rigging" when GEJ wins however the reality on ground suggest that GEJ is the candidate to beat.

People talk about northern votes as if the north is just one region. Buhari CANNOT get 25% in 24 states.

Kano and Kaduna are very strategic in making or hurting Buhari's chances. Shekarau will definitely act as a spoiler in Kano. Shekarau's votes in kano will come from voters that ordinarily would have voted for Buhari. To GEJ, "if the votes dont come to me then let them be split".

In kaduna GEJ will make atleast 40%, because Sambo has to fight the battle of his life if he plans to suceed his oga. In the End about 50% of the NW votes that buahri plans to get wholesale would have be fragmented.

GEJ will win NC, and NE will be split between GEJ and BB.

SE and SS will go wholesale to GEJ. You already know the winner except something drastic happens b4 the elections.

As an unrepentant GEJ fan , I must confess i felt really bad when i learnt PDP had pulled out of the debate for lack of structure by the organisers. However seeing this show by three men eyeing the post of VP  brings it clearer that the PDP was not wrong afterall. The questioning by the organisers was not even proper. The channels Guber  debates I have watched are miles ahead of this useless charade.

Secondly the candidates more or less gave speeches akin to manisfestos in SUG elections in schools. The HOW of the matter was not addressed, and as usual oga pastor did not "disappoint" . I STILL DEY LAUGH.

Kenny_G:
But the point is they didnt come up with anything other than the usual banal about how dire the last 12 years have been, at least convince the populace that they have thought long and hard about how they intend to reverse the fortunes of the nation

spot on.

@Danjohn

Nice analysis. I feel a complete thread should have been opened for this anyway.

I however noted the following which you somehow did not factor into your analysis

1. In kano you seem to be ignoring the shekarau effect. He will have a good showing here and most of his supporters are those that would have voted for BB . This alone would change the predictions in the first run.

Gbawe:
I hope you have not joined the ranks of the fans of GEJ who prefer casual deciet , always, in place of calling a spade a spade? This was the flag off (beginning) of the ACN Presidential campaign in the Northwest. It is not a "rally for the entire NW zone" as you erroneously write.

Ok I don hear, but did you see this at all:

It is expected that all the governorship candidates, Senatorial, House of Representatives candidates from the seven North-West states will today receive their flags from the National Chairman of the Party, Chief Bisi Akande

When people leave very glaring facts and try to play smart with logic , i just laugh.

rebranded:
you must be a child to be talking this way, its sad the way you PDP supporters think. .u will all surely reap all you sow!

If asking someone to back up his claims with facts is what makes me childish , then I don hear you. Hope say your belle  don sweet?

9ijaMan:
In case you fail to know how to do a simple math calculation, 30% of 6 million is 1.8 million. The crown at your benefactors rally at TBS are not even up to 5,000 and you claim that GEJ will win 30%. Even in your dreams, GEJ can't win 5% of Lagos votes!

I suspect you dont know the capacity of the TBS, do you expect the 1.8 million people to show up at TBS? I am simply making it very clear to you that the crowd at TBS has little or nothing to do with the votes GEJ will get from Lagos . QED

Eko Ile:
This is no about claims, it's about your mindless stupidity?

Do you have a different meaning or expiratory date for support? Is the governor not a GEJ supporter? Did he not rallied support for GEJ? Have the Governor changed his mind and is no longer supporting GEJ?

Do you have expiratory date for support?


Please take your idiocy and stupidity elsewhere, you're trying too hard, but you sound very very d/umb.

So if the governor supports GEJ, that should translate to ACN not being able to fill a capacity stadium of MAX 50,000? Expecially when the rally was for the entire NW zone?

In Kano state, the Deputy Governor of the state, and also a Governorship candidate of the (ACN), Alhaji Abdullahi Tijjani Mohammed Gwarzo mobilized his teeming supporters from the 44 local government areas of the state to attend the rally in Jigawa.

It is expected that all the governorship candidates, Senatorial, House of Representatives candidates from the seven North-West states will today receive their flags from the National Chairman of the Party, Chief Bisi Akande.

9ijaMan:
I dey laugh o! Can you see how smart you are. Your GEJ came to Lagos to campaign and you are confirming to us on NL that people were not aware. Hmmmm.
GEJ is not just any candidate, he's the incumbent candidate for crying out loud sake and you are so engrossed in you blind love for this unpopular candidate that you even fail to see the truth!

How dumb can GEJ followers really get?

I am  smarter than everyone in  your entire family tree.

And you think you were  smart for saying that the crowd at TBS does not come close  to 30% of 6 million.

My problem with a lot of you that lay claim to be progressive minded is that  you seem to be  saying  " democracy is about freedom of choice, but if you choose this candidate then you are dull or have been bribed" Then I ask where is the  freedom of choice?

9ijaMan:
Apparently the scanty crowd in TBS represents 30% of the over 6 million voters who registered in Lagos abi? Keep deluding yourself. GEJ will be whitewashed in Lagos, even if he releases all the criminals in kirikiri to help him do the election rigging.

So what percentage does it represent? How many people even knew GEJ was coming to town? So those that went to TBS are the only people that will vote?

Eko Ile:
Don't bother me with your stupidity unless you have a different meaning or expiratory date for support.


Your silly and childish nit picking is really annoying, you are free to see your way out of this thread if all you have to contribute is this mindless and pointless distractions,

My friend dont be silly. This is a public forum and if you make claims you must stand up to defend them with facts. If a report of 23 Dec relating to PDP primaries is what you relate to as a recent happening in March, then must be the biggest JOKE around.

10cirenoh:
I am not being funny, you think he's going to make 25% in all the SW states? that's a lie, SE and SS i agree, but not SW bro. even in Kaduna, he won't make up to 25%, believe me.

Which state is he going to win in NE? which 30 states is he going to win 25% from? just list them and lets analyse.

1 million Tinubu's can not stop GEJ from getting atleast 30% of the votes in LAGOS and for other SW states like ONDO were MIMIKO is working for GEJ it will be a clean sweep.

And why will GEJ not make 25% in Kaduna, do you know what you are talking about at all?

For NE GEJ will definitely win Taraba.

Eko Ile:
And this is a state where the Governor [size=25pt]just[/size] rallied support for Jonathan,



Jigawa governor rallies support for Jonathan

http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/5656907-147/jigawa_governor_rallies_support_for_jonathan.csp

But why are you so full of falsehood?

you posted a dec 23 news as something that just happened. And how does rallying PDP delegates for GEJ during that presidential primaries relate to this?

^^^^^^^^^

When people are called up to defend statements they make, all sorts of tactics now begin to show up. Enjoy.

Eko Ile:
Was financial inducement it involved?

You stated that the crowd is different from the ones that have been financially induced. I have not said they got any inducement, but if you categorically stated that there was no inducement of any form, then I simply asked how you came about that conclusion.
