It's constitutional to bring party agents, I don't see why u are trying to make it a crime now.
Ur party can't field càndidàtes in so many states, that's structure.

LordAdam16:
If an intruder breaks into your house at night, you don't walk down the stairs to converse with him. You pick a weapon for the safety of your family.

PDP and APC are working their magic in their strongholds currently, while you're whining on the Internet. If you can't help yourself to win an election against undemocratic forces, how do you intend to help those who you made fantastic, unobtainable promises to.

In 2015, you were indifferent when the Kano REC and his family were burned to death, so that Buhari could defeat the incumbent. Obi relied on PDP structure in 2019 to get votes in the North.

Now, you have a problem with structure of criminality when it serves your narrative. All of you are not ready. I only pity the average folks who were hoodwinked to believe your postulations of grandeur that Obi's win was inevitable.

Ok, the electoral acts are wrong now because ur càndidàte couldn't provide agents for 2/3 of polling units acróss the country, u didn't talk about the càndidàtes they don't have to feature, I guess In a sane country, having càndidàtes on the ballot is poor too.

LordAdam16:
It is a problem the world over. Even in the US, in 2020, in Georgia, party poll watchers were ushered out of the collation center, then the windows were barricaded. And hours later Biden pulled ahead surprisingly.

The default nature of humans is to do whatever is possible to get their way. If they have to cut corners, they will. That is why the US has 100+ bases, 10+ aircraft carriers sailing the oceans, and all that. Tomorrow if we act stubbornly and go against one of their red lines, they'll cook up a pretext and take another swing at gun-barrel diplomacy.

Tinubu has been working towards this for 20 years. You are not going to expect him to entertain "saner clime" noise, when his ambition is well within his grasp. Even if he holds back, the likes of Oluomo who have benefitted humongously from his political capital will act on their own initiative.

The hallmark of civilized societies is being able to whitewash their barbarism. Believing otherwise is naïve. JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and UBS over the past few weeks have been decrying the shady economic data coming out of the US. Do you think the Democrats and Biden care? F*ck no.

Canada arrested, closed bank accounts, and seized donation funds of peaceful protesters with bouncy castles. They're stereotypically the politest people on the planet. Thinking you're going to change this country by getting everyone to hold hands, sing kumbaya, and hum mantras while sitting in a peaceful oasis; is how we consistently these horrible outcomes.

In any case, you wanted Tinubu, so I'm not sure why you're complaining. This is his trademark.

You guys will do f*ck all until 2031, then start complaining about PDP and APC, when things do not go your way. Play the game, then reform it from the inside. That's what Tinubu did in Lagos. Too bad he is an ethnic supremacist.

Obi should have taken the VP offer. If Atiku underperforms, he builds an image of being sidelined like Osinbajo. Then in 2031, he'll repeat Jonathan's 2011 landslide. But patience is a virtue that sounds simple in theory, but hard to practice.

Most of us here are doing fine. But before you know it 8 turns into 16, 16 turns in 24. Next thing you know, you're getting grandkids. And although they don't ask, you'll pretend like you don't feel some way about their Nigerian passports gathering dust while mothers are r*ped in the hinterlands.

JagabanBorgu:
But LP never had party agents in thousands upon thousands of polling units, LP don't have càndidàtes to feature in most states of Nigeria, that's the structure, those càndidàtes are what will influence votes in his favor outside the influence of social media.

seborrhic:
The typical Nigerian politician's mindset and the operating stereotype in Nigeria is that once they lose elections after contesting under a minority party,even if the party does appreciably well and wins some seats,is for them to go quiet till the next general elections,or decamp to the ruling party at the earliest opportunity.
The Labour party,primarily because of the dream that Peter obi brought,has done marvellously well in these elections,though it fell short of general victory.
LP is likely going to win significant number of seats in the senate and HOR and its presence would also be registered even in areas in the North it didn't do well.
That is why it's now incumbent on Obi not to do any of the following:
Despair and go quiet politically
Decamp to the ruling party or back to the PDP,unless to form a major alliance with it.
Allow the LP to become a voiceless,timid opposition,rather than the one that would hold the incoming government of Tinubu to account for its policies.The LP should become the active voice of the Nigerian people,lest the same pains and ignored cries people suffered under the Buhari government persists.
Obi should also start to form the structures of the LP using its elected members and ensure or find a strategy that ensures that those that won elections under the party, primarily due to Obi 's influence,don't decamp to the ruling party.
He should not become like an Agbaje who only becomes active during Lagos Guber polls or an Atiku for example,who only thinks and plans for the presidency towards the tail end of a government.
He should learn from what Tinubu has done and build on it,building structures, alliances,only that his own alliance should be with honest,determined individuals with the same mindset to grow the LP to a formidable force that will give the then ruling party a tougher fight on all fronts,come 2027.

adanny01:
I believe you understand my point but you have been running circles around it.

Hendrixky:
If Obi fails to win river state because of massive rigging being carried out by wike now then wike should forget about his political career


We South South and South East are going to kill his political career

adanny01:
Same here.

adanny01:
What is the opposite of educated? I am sure it's not minority.

adanny01:
My original comment had to do with outcomes of online polls Vs the real election.

You wrote this


What does this mean really? Looks like Obi is associated with educated Nigerians as you say. It's is also safe to say Educated people are aligned to Obi. What about those who are educated but are not aligned to Obi? What are they?

shizzle1:
you were also one if those that cheered him when he invited army to kill innocent Igbos in obigbo 2 years ago, not so?

adanny01:
What are you trying to say?

Is a retired professor who has relocated to his village and has no internet connection an illiterate?

In your own sense, every Nigerian who is educated must vote Obi and the illiterates vote for Atuku, Tinubu, Kwankwaso etc? How did you get that logic and where did you place yourself?

Are you saying those Tinubu supporters who are educated are actually illiterates?

maasoap:
I pray he does. Wike's lovers are now his haters.

CallmeTrinity:
And they came for him 🤣

sukkot:
And so there has been this coalition right from the start that power must come down to the south but yet in that agreement is still distrust of certain factions of the northern oligarchy which was further emphasised when PDP refused to give the igbo man the running seat for the presidency and instead gave it to the Fulani man Atiku and this single move stoked the fears that the northern oligarchs are not going to honour this rotation to the south mantra and so ever the master strategist, the Jagaban made the move to counter the election of Atiku for the PDP by reaching out to the disgruntled peter obi and telling him we can bring the power to the south but you will have to be a participant and the objective is to halve atikus votes by averting all the igbo vote away from Atiku without which all igbos would vote Atiku and he would easily coast to victory and the power would remain in the north. So Tinubu pulled the strings with the labor party and had them bypass protocol and install obi as their front runner for presidency ( who else could pull off this type of move but the Jagaban himself. No way anyone would listen to obi himself trying to take over labor party, he doesn’t have that kind of clout ) . And so they put heavy media machinery behind obi to promote him as the new igbo messiah and the job was done meticulously and is a success and has succeeded in sucking away all the igbo vote from Atiku and now it is a guarantee that power is coming south. All hail JAGABAN the master strategist and thank you Peter obi for your participation. The job is done

Minjim:
literacy is subject to personal interpretation.

Are you implying all educated Nigerians are active on Social media ?

Minjim:
There's a reason why everyone has one vote

garfield1:
Most opinion polls predict an obi victory.the most prominent and reliable are anap/noi and Bantu... Both predicted obi to win se by 80%,ss by 50%,a narrow win or sharing nc with tinubu and a narrow victory for atiku in ne/nw and a 60% win for tinubu in sw....

But if we look at it statistically,it is a tinubu win.ss and se voters turnout is 6 million.average turnout in ne/ ne is 13.5 million.if assuming obi has 4 mil out of 6 million votes in se ss and Tinubu scores 5.5 million out of 13.5 mil in ne nw,he leads obi by 1.5 million.let's assume obi wins nc by 500k,tinubu's lead is down to a million.let us assume obi scores 1 mil in ne nw,they are equal.it will be down to the sw where tinubu will obviously win by at least 2 mil vote margin.
In a worst case scenario,obi might have the highest votes and surely fail to get the spread.tinubu will get the spread and second highest votes and will go into a runoff with obi where he will obviously win as the north will vote tinubu even if kwankwaso and atiku endorse obi.

You still don't get it, do you? Any online poll you conduct today, Obi will always win, no matter whose timeline you conduct it.

If you recall correctly, in 2019, Buhari lost all polls, online and offline. In fact, when Buhari was pit against a Stone, the stone won with landslide.

Come Saturday, when votes start to trickle in from all over the country, reality is going to set in.

I expect to be insulted, as is now usual.

This is what the APC youth leader, Dayo Israel, said at a public youth debate.

Minjim:
Social media is mainly for the computer literate
There is a difference from being educated and being computer literate.
I'm on Social media and I didn't take part in any online poll.
Saturday will clear everyone doubt
