Thomas Sankara is the man on this list.

This man was a strong pan-african freedom fighter. He had a vision for Africans to break out of western control and manipulation. Something the whites couldn't handle and they organized his assassination.

MrCross:
This part got me laughing so hard>
"The entire pride of lions simultaneously stopped eating and charged at Ndiwane, who, in what was apparently a brief moment of lucidity, changed his mind and tried to get back into the car." Shey he wanted to form samson alagbara

Lol nor be small thing oo. Come to think if he had succeeded, his followers would have tremendously increased.

Religion is just the most powerful tool in playing with the minds of people.

GOOD MORNING, SOMEONE SHOULD HELP ME REACH OUT TO CLUB KONNECT & VICTOR OJENEALO BRAIMOH, TO HELP ME REFUND MY 2,000 NAIRA OR HELP ME USE IT TO FUND MY WALLET. I SENT THE MONEY YESTERDAY EVENING FROM MY ACCESS BANK ACCOUNT, TO YOUR ACCESS BANK ACCOUNT. PLEASE BE FAST. I CALLED HUNDREDS OF TIMES NO RESPONSE, I SENT MESSAGES TO YOUR WHATSAPP NOT READ.

Something similar has happened to me. That club konnect or whatever, their way no pure abeg.

SouthEastFacts:
I am happy you observed that. It is not possible.

Something happened.

Really? I think Igbos do not just take politics serious. Una like to make yanga too much. I heard that in some parts of Abia, voting materials did not arrive early enough and most of the voters went back home and could not wait.

And you won't believe that faraway in Southern Kaduna (in Jema'a LGA), materials were delayed till the next day (sunday) and people waited, just because they feel they must vote for GEJ. This was why many centres were cancelled in Southern Kaduna. Otherwise, Southern Kaduna people would have neutralized Hausa fulani votes in Kaduna state just as they did in 2011.

In Bauchi state, Come and see Hausa youths who sat down on the main roads, blocking all the roads till midnight against all security personnels cos they believe that their votes must be counted in their presence.

Igbos lack the ruggedness to compete with Hausa-fulanis when it comes to Naija politics. The SS is even the one playing much of the leadership role against Hausa-fulanis.

When we saw the votes from Delta & Rivers, we had some hope for PDP.

When core hausa states like Kano, Bauchi, Katsina, Kaduna were giving Buhari bloc votes in millions, come and see what Igbo states were giving.

I guess this guy's comment below justifies Igbos. Their businesses are more important to them than national politics.

The Igbos are very enterprising and independent folks. Is it that they do not take politics as serious as other parts of the country? (They'd rather focus on business). If so, then maybe those 2011 figures were just "cooked", but it became impossible in 2015 due to the card readers.
---
My question, then, would be - Is there any chance that the voters turnout in the SE will improve in 2019?

senatordave1:
In 2019,buhari as an incumbent would record more votes while reducing the votes of pdp in ss/se though pdp will win while inflating apc votes in the north,a tactics obj always used and gej used in 2011.i see the northwest giving apc 10 million,pdp 1 million.north east apc 5 million pdp 1 million.in the middle belt,apc 4 million,pdp 2 million,south west apc 3 million,pdp 1 million.ss/se apc 1 million,pdp 5 million.the staggering votes pdp usually recorded in ss/se were because they had the incumbent but that cant happen again.

Your analysis is wrong for the North-east and North-central.

Let me speak for my own north-central region first. Even in 2015, at the height of 'Sai Baba/changi ' campaign, Buhari was not able to win up to 70% in the north-central. It seems like you don't know that there are many die hard 'hausa-fulani interest' opposers all over the north-central. And Plateau state which usually has the highest voting turnout in the region is the stronghold!

Ask yourself why Buhari (APC) lost in Plateau & Nasarawa in 2015 even though both states voted APC governors?

Now in 2019 when many are already dissappointed in Buhari you still expect him to win in North-central? Joke of the year. The highest Buhari can get in north-central would be 50% (and this is if the Tivs decide to vote APC like they did in 2015, due to their jealousy of Idoma power in PDP through David Mark), otherwise PDP will sweep north-central with 70%. Not to talk of now that Igalas will massively go back to PDP because they want to remove that Ebira APC governor.

Pls don't just sit down and analyze politics of regions you don't know about. Find out from political savvy natives of the region.

Bevista:
Brilliant analysis, I must say. Provides some real perspective to regional voting patterns. I, particularly, appreciate the fact that you left your partisanship for a moment and dealt with raw data/facts
---
However, I slightly disagree with your view that the low percentage votes witnessed in the SE was as result of mere low turnout. My opinion is that it was due to the use of card readers, which reduced incidence of rigging. Yes, there was rigging everywhere throughout the country, but once accreditation is done with card readers, you cannot rig figures more than what is registered on the card readers.
---
In terms of turnout, the SS was the only region that exceeded the national average and that was due to some purported faulty card readers in many parts, hence the resort to manual accreditation. The national average was approximately 45-55% which was consistent with most regions, except the SS.
---
Come 2019, the PDP will definitely sweep the SS/SE region, but if card readers are used in all parts such that the turnout is consistent with the national average, then the absolute numbers the PDP will get will be much lower than what they got in 2015.

Are you sure about your 2nd and 3rd paragraphs? NW actually had a high turnout or eventually resorted to manual registration just like the SS.

The SE really dissapointed we PdP supporters in the last election.

Imagine a state like Abia state (with almighty Aba city) delivering only 380k votes. Northern states like Plateau and Kaduna (southern kaduna) axis even delivered more votes to GEJ than many core SE/SS states. Plateau state delivered about 580k votes while Kaduna delivered about 480k votes.

SouthEastFacts:
If you like vote for Buhari or Atiku, it will change nothing.

Have you seen the reason PDP returned the National Chairmanship to South South?

The real King Makers are SE and SS, but only when they are fully mobilized, if not NC holds it. NW only vote one side, hence they are held constant in every permutation.

Thank you for the analysis. Nothing but the truth. We need to propagate this write up all over, so that these loud-mouthed yorubas can see that their votes have no effect.

The people who actually have effect or creates the balance are we the middlebelters (northern minorities of NC and parts of NE).

In 2011, the NC and parts of the northeast heavily voted PDP (delivering about 8 northern states) and almost equally divided states like Kaduna & Gombe. In 2015, the support was reduced. If we had still voted like 2011, Buhari would have lost regardless of yoruba votes.

Yorubas keep on making mouth that they supported GEJ in 2011. Ask them with how many votes! No yoruba state (apart from Lagos with many non yoruba voters) were able to deliver up to 1 million votes for GEJ. But come and see states like Plateau, Benue and Kaduna (southern kaduna axis) delivering more than 1 million votes each for GEJ.

Why is everything about islam always problematic? Hypocrisy will soon destroy this religion and it's followers.

BabaRamota1980:
You were from North until they burst you, then you are from North Central....but when Fulani come to your village and el Rufai tell them thats their land then you will claim MiddleBelt.

Keep flip-flopping like karuwa. You belong with the right candidate, Atiku, the political prostitute.

Are you sure you are a mentally stable person?

Is the entire north the homeland of fulanis? Don't fulanis know their own states of origin? What kind of ignorant statement is this?

The middlebelt is officially north according to the constitution but it is different from the core-north culturally and geographically. Ignorance is a disease!

For real, who no like better thing? We all just cannot have our wish all the time.

Besides, since all the ladies want tall guys, who kom dey marry the short guys wey dey born more shortie dem?

Short and average height guys are actually more than the tall guys in Nigeria.....or not?
So, naija women be careful what u wish for.

chngebeginwthme:
LOL You seem don't get it, Thank God you said Northern Minorities meaning the Majority still determine what happen..

If you dont know, northern minorities dominate 9 out of the 19 northern states and have large populations in the remaining ones.
Hausa fulanis are not even up to half of the population of the entire north.

Hausa fulanis only manipulate religious divides to bring out a northern muslim majority. Even at that the christian northern population cannot be underestimated. So, forget it. Coupled with the fact that Atiku is also a northern muslim. The north would be heavily divided at least 60/40.

chngebeginwthme:
Divide North by who? I guess you don't know that kinda power and popularity Buhari control in the North.

Any Northern that stand against Buhari will be seen as anti North not even now that he was in Power..

Even when he was not in power Northern always stand by him..

With the peace in North East and his diversification into Agriculture that has giving northern power to Farm and make money you think they will go against him..

All Buhari need to tell the Northers is that if they vote PDP back to power, They will collapse all their business by giving license to IGBO to be importing rice and that will collapse their effort so far in Agriculture..

So bro watchout for how campaign will be run in 2019..

This is the mistake you guys make. The Hausa fulanis have a strong love for Buhari, but middlebelters and many northern minorities do not!
This was why northern minorities rejected Buhari in 2011 even when Hausa fulanis voted him.

chngebeginwthme:
So all the votes PDP got in 2015 from South West is no single votes? Don't worry i have said this before, 2019 will be North/SW against SS/SE..

No! 2019 will mostly be Divided north (hausa-fulani)/ divided yoruba. VS Divided north (northern minorities)/SS/SE

Omadachi:
The SE and SS are not good in politics.They are one way direction.If they want to vote almost 99% vote in one direction which is too bad.PDP has become a regional party.Is for APC to play their card well to be able to get 100% support of the north to win the next presidential election.At state level for sure PDP will win some of the APC control state becos they have not done well.This is my personal opinion.

And APC can never get 100% in the North. Maybe 100% in Hausa fulani areas, but never among we the northern minorities.

CrtlAltDel:
Nowenuse… hope you are intelligent enough to comprehend the above

If in your view it takes intelligence to comprehend the rubbish that life2017 wrote, then I think I fear the kind of education you and many other Nigerian youths have received. So sad.

life2017:
Nobody is saying Atiku don't have supporters in all the over 750 local government and over 250 ethnic group in Nigeria. For sure he has supporters in all just Like any other national politician. Buhari have thousands of supporters in the south east. At least he got over 150 thousand votes in the south east.

But what the people who tag Atiku as Atikuchukwu are saying is that it is very obvious at this point that the people who are more sympathetic and passionate atleast at the level of social media and southern Nigeria in particular to Atiku presidential ambition are mostly IPOB sympathisers.

The fact that you are a Northerner or even if you are from daura does not negate the Atikuchukwu tag

Just listen to yourself. What the hell is 'Atikuchukwu'? Out of joblesness, some people just wake up one morning to create a tribalistic nonsense tag of a very detribalized Nigerian like Atiku? You lots never cease to amaze me.

When will you guys grow up from this stupidity of petty tribal politics for God's sake?
It's such a pity for us to still have youths with this kind of reasoning.

realjoker:
where have you been nowenuse?
On your post.
coming from a long time Ipob sympathizer. You don follow your fellow liepod yoots join the atichukwu E-rats abi?, From Gejtill2019 to hero of democracy to a harden Wailing wailer, Fayose suddenly become your hero at a time before you realized it is biafruad or death then the tune changed to no lefelendum no erection before Atiku suddenly become your new Messiah.

Where have i been?, excuse me, i do not recall knowing you. I think you've got the wrong person.

I cannot descend to the level of your 'Igbo VS afoafonja vs Ipod vs Skull miners' kind of debates and insults.

Fake nonsense! APC plan to rubbish this convention. It shall not work!

Ogbeni, stop crying anyhow. Tell the whole world how Wike insulted the yoruba race!

Shameless old man, see how he has resorted to tribalism just to support his stupidity. This is the way many yorubas turn everything to tribalism in Nigeria. Shameless lots.

GoroTango:
Another IPOB miscreant forming northerner. Why cant you be proud of your origins? Nonsense!

Can't you see how shallow you reason?
Pls go through my profile and see that i have always been from the North Central since 2013 when i registered on nairaland!
Go through all my posts and see that it has always been about the north.

You think we are like you guys who use fake profiles abi? Nonsense!

There is a very big difference btw praying in tongues to God and speaking in tongues with a word to the congregation.

The latter is the type freeze is talking about which needs an interpreter but the former does not, as God you are praying to understands every language.

Shukuakukobambi:
He also won 5 states out 6 states in the SW in 2011 so what happened to you guys in 2015?

In 2015, we were deceived and swindled by Buhari's call of change which we later discovered to be fake! So, now that we have realized our mistakes, we will definitely correct it.

I have observed that many APC Zombies on nairaland are on a mission to tribalize Atiku's campaign by tribalizing it and Igbonizing it.
.....
I have one sentence for them. GROW UP FROM STUPIDITY AND CHEAP TRIBAL POLITICS!

Atiku is a whirldwind that is about to take over Nigeria. Atiku has a large support base in the North. Especially in the North-east and North-Central and myself and many others are part of this.
This support base is massively going to increase as soon as Atiku declares running for presidency.


Zombies, instead of you people to continue with tribalizing and religionizing politics, why don't you guys work hard and repackage your failed Buhari? Maybe we might reconsider him. However, with the look of things now, we are ATIKULATING!

Alariiwo:
Maybe when you stop focusing on Yorubas and think about every other tribe in Nigeria, Maybe then you Igbos will understand why you always fail in politics.

For Atiku to openly come out and condemn a system that favours North most, openly siding SS & SE in restructuring that will make North poor.. Your brain should tell you that Northern power blocs will reject him, even the average Northerner will reject him. Just like IBB and Abdusalam did recently.

But No, you lots don't think atal.. Everything to you is afonja. Just open mouth and spew trash.
Why Yorubas are far wiser and ahead of you in politics. Every Yoruba person understands this simple fact.

And for your info.. Northerners will never allow Igbos rule them. Their anti-Igbo song during ther "quit notice" saga confirmed this. They called Igbos unnecessary baggage carried too far. Meaning you are of no benefit to the North like Yorubas that have ports, commerce & Industry etc.

You have brain, use it to think

Hausa fulanis will never vote or allow an Igbo man rule them, but we in the middlebelt do not play such bitter politics of hatred against southerners.

In the middlebelt, we believe more or less in credibility and that was why we delivered 8 states to Goodluck in 2011 despite all the Hausa fulanis voting against Goodluck.

2019 will be very tough for APC in the North-Central region because it is very obvious that they have failed to deliver their promise both at the state and national level.

Not just failure now, but also disgrace. ..... From the distribution of wheelbarrows by the Benue state governor to the caricature of governance by the youthful governor of Kogi state whom many youths thought would be the face of quality leadership but were completely dissappointed. Plateau state is now becoming a shadow of itself compared to before. All round the region, no positive development, nothing!

OurMumuDonDo. APC get ready to vacate the NorthCentral come 2019.

The handiwork of Lagos-Ibadan express media. Propaganda and lies.

Atikulation 2019 on point!

Dsov2016:
truth. most naija do not know that our actions rub on other black people. if you ask any foreigner to name an African country they will always mention Nigeria. that's why I said that the failure is on the part of our idiotic leaders. in terms of foreign policy obj was the best among Democratic leaders. the rest onluly know how to steal money and disgrace themselves on media forgetting the world is a global village. only a visionary Nigerian leader would see that leading and uplifting this country will do the same for Africa. but prob is that the world powers would not let this be because they know what Africa is that's why they call it the new frontier remember the USA was once known as the new frontier that's why they have divvied us up, they are systematically colononizing us through our resources. this is the new age colonialism u can see it with what China has done to Zimbabwe, what India has done to S/A, what France is doing to other francophone countries. look at what they gave done to the ruling class. they convince them to sell their resources for pittance(bribe) and then make them invest it in their own economies and still tax them, so they are essentially getting our resources for free and even making money/duping the political elites. if Nigeria does not wake up to its role and end this disguised slavery we the younger generations will live to regret it. it would be similar to what happens in communities in Nigeria where the elders would sell all their land for money which would be spent leaving their children to become tenants or worse destitute

True, personally, i have lost hope in this generation of leaders. Things like this ought to serve as a clarion call to the youths of this present generation. For us to know that truly a lot is expected of us. We just cannot afford to fail our own children as our parents have failed us.

frenzyduchess:
does ecowas also allow harassing citizens of your host country or constituting nuisance of your host country or you are feigning ignorance of the other things I typed

As much as i am not in support of this. Our own country is the failure here. Nigeria is supposed to have a sort of camp or centre for these people cos most of them are refugees due to famine in their countries. ......But i dont think we have the right to deport them back to their country.

This is despicable. How cold and heartless. Sometimes you just wonder how the brain of a black man works.
It's such a pity. These abused teenage girls may never be able to live normal lives again.

Profusamah:
Get your facts right bro. Take for example the xenophobia case in SA ; most business owned by Nigerians were the target. The feel we like dominating them but when the have a problem, the remember us. Since the are so strong to attack us, let them fend for themselves.

The poster mainly focused on West Africa which i think should be Nigeria's primary responsibility.

South africa is doing well as a country and would hardly need the help or influence of another Black african country.

Besides, i don't think Nigerians were the only targets of xenophobia. East Africans and other fellow Southern africans like Zimbabweans and Mozambicans were also attacked.

frenzyduchess:
My thoughts exactly, first they are here Illegal, then they are constituting nuisance, they way they harrasse people to give them money like they gave you a job or something is very annoying, they will hold your skirt or trouser like its by force, they are not Nigerians, if they can't work they should be deported

Ecowas law allows all west africans free movement all over west africa.
