If Wike has common sense, he would have noticed the barrier posed by the 5-states-only political structure in the southeast which puts any presidential aspirant from the southeast to a disadvantaged position.

Tinubu supporters will think this is video game.

They don't yet believe Tinubu is OTP, it doesn't seem real yet. Denial stage.

But the events of the coming months will help them accept reality.
Hard to understand how any ordinary Nigerian living in Nigeria can still support Tinubu to continue beyond May 29, 2027 to preside over Nigeria.

Ofunaofu:
APC under Tinubu has deviated from the ideals of its founding fathers and has become a baba sope political patronage machine fused with drug cartel mentality

Imagine spending so much, buying nomination and expression of interest forms, engaging party members, and even winning a primary, only to discover that your name was never uploaded by the party hierarchy as a candidate.
Party hierarchy want to eat their own.
Because they didn't receive bags of Naira when the primaries were going on at the local level.

Wonderful.


"We don’t hold primary in our party. We pick those that we want to pick. The claim of a winner of a primary is false” -------APC Secretary.

Not even in a Banana Republic could party leaders pick candidates like this.

Corruption. He wants aspirants to storm his home with bags of millions of Naira as bribe to be picked as candidates.

Repost 👇

Thank you for this thread. Let me repost this
There has been so much confusion over the reportage of this issue and I am so disappointed in the media. It is not electronic voting, it is ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION of results. They have tried to use this confusion to mislead people with e-voting. Is it this NASS that did not allow diaspora to vote that wants to give electronic votinghuh They should start with electronic voting at the Senate first instead of relying on voice vote but these guys we have there now can't. They can never because you can't give what you don't have. Honor is not sold in the market neither is you calling yourself distinguished distinguish you from any cowardly behaviour.

The media is doing a bad work in not reporting the issues properly. I have seen people like Reno mislead the public about the issue. The SP too has said some things when he talks down Nigerians the usual way. Nigerians do not vote electronically, the people are saying cut the amount of manual intervention you have in collation.

The election process is like this:
1. You register to vote.
2. You get your PVC
3. Before election day, you see your name Ong the list of registered voters
4. On election day, you register to vote (this is called accreditation) where the PO confirms that you are on the list of registered voters and it is not someone else
5. You cast your ballot secretly.
6. The PO counts the votes, that IS, ALL the paper you voted for, then writes the results.
This is where Nigerians want the results to be electronically transmitted.
7. This result is announced and a copy normally should be posted for you at your PU
8. The PO takes the counted result that was signed by the party agents and herself to the collation centre

This is where Nigerians saw the magomago. This is why you see the APC guys boast of polling agents. We should be ashamed of ourselves that we need too many people to count votes in 2026. Let me not distract from my essay. Check the quoted post I have below.

There are two collation centres. There's ward collation centre and state collation centre. It is at these places counting magic happens. You see all those things the Professors do on TV? They are only counting LG results for each state. They are also checking if there were any other electoral issues that can lead to some results not counted or cancelled.

What INEC promised at the last election is that with Irev you can see your PU result live. You can even audit the election result for each ward and do your own counting for the LG. But the APC and their abracadabra manipulated your result. So while you were counting after step 5, they saw the live results, did their own counting and gave you the figures they wanted. That's why INEC announced results of the election at night. That's where you saw numbers changed at Irev portal. If party A had 12, they put 6 in front of it and made it 612. That is why the Irev portal had glitch. The glitch was the fraudulent excuse to tamper with the result, change it and have their own numbers. They had to delay the loading to iRev portal so you won't be able to dispute the results. Only a thief at night steals it, snatches it and runs away with it to announce that the white they stole at nibjt is now Ariel clean in the morning.

With electronic transmission, Nigeria will reduce massively how much money we spend on elections. Our elections are only expensive because people simply want to cheat, QED! It's a bloody waste of time recruiting so many people just to count numbers, shey we no de shame? Chai


For those of them that bring that useless video of Elon Musk not trusting electronic voting, please read below. They intentionally omitted the part where US does not conduct its election like ours. They work on trust because from birth you already have an ID and government knows when you turn 18.
Millions of Nigeria Diaspora votes would have been more transparent than votes cast in Nigeria.

Why would some section of Nigeria continue to refuse Diaspora Nigerians to vote while the Akpabios in the Senate watch?

Politics › Re: Electoral Act Amendment Bill: NASS To Reconvene Over E-transmission Of Results by onuman: 1:01pm On May 31
Akpabio's Senate has Transfer of votes, not E-transmission of votes in its Electoral Act.
If the Electoral Act remains with "Transfer," not "e-transmission," that amounts to sticking to the outmoded and fraud-prone system of manual transfer of votes.
Akpabio was on daylight robbery with his explanations.

Use of modern method of conduct of election can only become a controversy in a country led by fraudsters.
Insistence on E-transmidsion of votes should have been massive in that NASS. It is tha most modern system to avoid election fraud in countries that want to move forward.

*STOP INSULTING NIGERIANS: An Economy That Works Only in Government Speeches Is a Fraud*

By Chief Akinwumi Akinfenwa

Let us stop pretending.

Nigeria’s economic crisis is no longer about policy mistakes or reform pains. It is about official dishonesty — the deliberate promotion of a success story that millions of starving citizens know to be false.

This government is not merely out of touch.
It is talking down to a suffering population.

*THE BIG CON: WHEN STATISTICS BECOME A WEAPON*

Nigerians are told the economy is improving.

Who exactly is improving?

Certainly not the trader who can no longer restock goods.
Not the civil servant whose salary is dead on arrival.
Not the graduate roaming the streets jobless.
Not the family skipping meals.

Yet, government spokespersons speak with confidence — GDP growth, easing inflation, fiscal discipline — as if numbers alone can cancel hunger.

This is not leadership.
It is economic propaganda.

*LET US BE CLEAR: POVERTY IS EXPLODING*

The World Bank estimates that over 130 million Nigerians now live in poverty. That is more people than the population of many African countries combined.

The government’s response?
Denial. Dismissal. Deflection.

Instead of emergency action, Nigerians are given excuses.

Instead of accountability, they are given lectures about patience.

This is moral failure at scale.

*REFORMS WITHOUT RELIEF ARE REFORMS AGAINST THE PEOPLE*

Fuel subsidy removal.
Currency float.
New taxes.

All implemented with brutal speed — without safety nets, without wage protection, without food security.

The result?

Transport costs exploded

Food prices went out of control

Small businesses collapsed

Purchasing power evaporated

Yet government officials still have the audacity to say “the worst is over.”

Over for who?

For politicians on allowances?
For contractors paid in dollars?
For elites insulated from market prices?

*TAXING POVERTY IS NOT GOVERNANCE — IT IS VIOLENCE*

Only a government detached from reality would increase tax pressure in an economy where:

Real incomes are falling

Unemployment is endemic

Informal businesses are barely breathing

Taxation without prosperity is state-sanctioned extortion.

No serious nation taxes its way out of mass poverty.
You grow production.
You create jobs.
You protect citizens.

Nigeria is doing the opposite.

*THE MOST DANGEROUS LIE: “SUFFERING IS NECESSARY”*

Nigerians are told suffering is inevitable — that pain today guarantees prosperity tomorrow.

History disagrees.

There is no economic law that says reforms must destroy lives. There is no justification for policy brutality. There is no excuse for indifference to hunger.

When leaders ask citizens to suffer while they remain comfortable, the social contract is broken.

And broken contracts do not heal with speeches.

*THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ARE ANGRY*

Not because Nigerians “don’t understand economics.”

But because they understand injustice.

They understand when:

Markets say one thing

Kitchens say another

Government insists everyone is wrong except itself

Anger grows when truth is denied.

Silence should not be mistaken for acceptance.

*A WARNING, NOT A THREAT*

No society survives indefinitely on denial and deprivation.

When governments ignore hunger, hunger eventually speaks. When leaders dismiss pain, pain eventually organizes. When legitimacy collapses, statistics cannot save it.

Nigeria is approaching that edge.

*THE BOTTOM LINE*

An economy that looks good only in official narratives is not recovering.
A government that argues with poverty data instead of fighting poverty has lost moral authority.
A leadership that demands sacrifice without protection is unfit for trust.

Nigerians are not asking for miracles.
They are asking for honesty, empathy, and relief.

Until then, every talk of “turnaround” is an insult —
and Nigerians are no longer in the mood to be insulted.

That one made a political choice must not amount to kidnap of one's offspring;

Think of best solution. Think of Oduduwa Republic.

A teacher is a special person. Beheading a teacher is supposed to load public outrage, march on the streets. But as Goodluck Jonathan aptly put it: Nigerians have gotten used to killings. Islamists want to take total control of Nigeria.

When President Tinubu sent Nnamdi Kalu to Sokoto prison, the headquarters of Sokoto Caliphate whose prince, Sani Yerima of Zamfara state, started the adoption of unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system in Nigeria, the evidence that government of Nigeria supports terrorism fully emerged.
Boko Haram, armed Fulani herdsmen, bandits and mass kidnappers for ransome are all gunning for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws

I can see you are confused which one is Ekwulobia - Orlu expressway, that road was single land it was Soludo that dualized the road from Uga to Amawbia
You don't know that Awka-Ekwulobia-Ideato-Orlu-Owerri road was completed before Buhari coup of 1983, except a bridge across Orashi River that was not done before the Buhari coup. The road remains unused since 1983.
The road was meant to be the shortest between Awka and Owerri.

3. Ekwulobia-Uga,
