judging from 1999 how many states did pdp controled? I want to focus and make my point on politics I can remember. Buhari contested how many time against a larger party pdp still did not win, just like every other party that lost against pdp. The reason is because they control a small portion of the state. Another thing is how influencial the party is. There are state controlled by a party not popular yet when it comes to presidential election they lose to the bigger party like Lagos State. Controlled by acn then and when it comes to presidential election they don't deliver rather pdp will go home with the larger chunk but when acn merge with other party to form a bigger party called apc today we can all see how they are delivering their party. Politics in Nigeria is dynamic. What favoured you yesterday might not favour you today. Edo, imo, and Ogun is a good example of no to godfatherism unlike before

You are muddling up issues sir.


What exactly is your point?




Mine is that the North is as diverse as the South.


Politics is about interests. The interests of the Berom, Tiv, Nupe, Bolewa, Bachama, Ebira, Igala and Yorubas in Kwara & Kogi aren't necessarily the same as the same as the interests of the Fulanis.

fIn the upcoming Presidential race, my opinion on why the Igbo man don't want to compete with the Yoruba man in any Presidential election is a result of who get the highest vote as far as Nigeria is concerned but the truth be it the election will be base on religion and not just truth

And as is stand the Igbo are full blooded Christian and that is part of their inheritance While the Yoruba man are more on the Muslim part

Majority of the north whom have a high concerntration of Muslim will not think twice in voting their own religious person


The Igbo man are being known by the northerners as a man minded business man and as a full blooded Christian.

Notwithstanding the northerners see the emergence of an Igbo man as an enemy because an Igbo pose a threat to their religion and the ethics involved, that's why the northerners will joyfully vote for a Yoruba man if fielded against an Igbo man when it comes to anything election

You have raised some points based on certain assumptions. Now let me ask you some questions;

1) Does it mean ibo candidates will no longer contest for the presidency because Muslims will not vote for them?

2) If it is true that Muslims in the North consider the Igbos as threats to their Interests, would they have changed this behavior after 2023 and replace the hatred with love , mistrust with trust?

Bros, I would rather have one person loot the country and enjoy peace , than have a thousand loot the country, but yet I cannot sleep well at night. Today's politicians are holding power over us, by using our names and situations to collect debts that we and our unborn generations can never pay in three or four lifetimes.

The military you are screaming about is the lesser of the two evils, because during their era , our country had a bit of relevance in the international community , and our level of corruptions wasn't as profound as it is today .

During that period, at least the naira had value ...and we could boast of something in terms of stability and economic growth . But now , our economy has dwindled into a cesspool of illicit debt that has sold us into confusion and abject poverty .

I agree than the military looted ; and I also agree that Obasanjo meddled in affairs that were corrupt and questionable. But let us not forget that this was done under a civilian regime ,which by hypocrisy, is meant to follow "diplomacy" in its dealing. And that includes the possibility of paying bribes( yes you heard me well...just ask Americans because they do it all the time) to pacify certain disgruntled individuals.

To make you understand, can you recall the Abekoya movement that was foiled in the military era by this same military leader who used direct force to confront those spearheading it ? Had it been the Abekoya movement was done in a civilian regime, the battle would have continue till date because of silly democratic institutions. This is a fact that you cannot deny : the military is still better than this rubbish we are currently practicing .

The Military rule was the greatest disasters that happened to Nigeria.



The military plunged the country to a needless war which still cause bitterness till today.



The military brought unnecessary and inpracticable unitary system which is weighing Nigeria down.



Military officers who had no experience in governance, no political manifestoes or the patriotic zeal became Heads of States and some were given States they don't know anything about to govern (as Military administrators) just to buy their loyalties to the Head of State and bribed them from making coups.







The military era was a period of political instability and represent a negative part of our political history that we aren't proud of.

rickyrex:
the ideology in politics been played in the south is different from the north. Northners play a single interest politics why south play a divisional politics. How do I mean? Northners speaks one language irrespective of different party they concluded on one table but south speak different languages and politucal party is divided across the south. 8 pdp governors and 8 Apc and 1 anambra apga. Of which apga is indirectly pdp. You can't expect all pdp candidate to leave their presidential candidate and vote for Apc cause his from the south. This system would have played better if it were those days pdp control large amount of the states but it can't be like that now cause both parties has places they are controlling now. South will be a hard factors for someone like buhari cause there's no form of unity

The myth that the North is one and speak with one voice is nothing but a myth.

In every election, different political parties win in different parts of the North.

In the First Republic, there were more 'strong' parties in the North than in the South.


In 1979 elections, The NPN won Sokoto, Niger, Benue and Kwara States, PRP won Kano & Kaduna States, Zik's NPP won in Plateau State and GNPP won Borno and Gongola States.

In the ill fated 3rd Republic, the North was divided between SDP and NRC.

In 1999 , the defunct APP won several States all in the North against the PDP.

usmexy1:
Scammers....Pdp primary election should not be organised in Port Harcourt.....

But why?

Asgard73:
Agreed ...

But different stakeholders... and interest.
Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigeria... absolutely nothing

If after 25 years as Lagos godfather ... the state still stink and dirty .. with absolutely nothing new or innovation..

What thenis he going to offer “NIGERIA AS A COUNTRY

NO DECIEVE YOURSEF

But Tinubu is not in PDP sir.


The topic is about presidential candidate of the PDP.

GardenOfGod:
PDP knows the game very well and they will present a candidate from the north
central who will beat Tinubu with a wide margin. It might not be Atiku.

And this candidate has no names, 14 months to the election?

Asgard73:
Will wish an Atiku and bola Tinubu on Apc and pdp for an experiment

Yoruba think Nigerians are all Yoruba ..

You never disappoint, this has nothing to do with Yorubas but I know you will bring Yoruba into the matter.

PrinceOfLagos:
Werey woman

But she raised valid points.

assent:
And what gives you the impression that I prefer Atiku? Is that one of the signs of deceptive sophistication?

You claim you are neutral, yet, your bias is visible to the blind. . Keep on fooling yourself.

Then start campaigning for your preferred candidate sir.



It's a futile attempt to think that you can stop other people whom you think are bad candidates from joining race or persuade other Nigerians from supporting a candidate you don't like.

louqas:
Yet you castigate people for making the same valid choice of not voting for Atiku.....you began to hate everyone who disagreed with your choice.... fake democrats only flaunt democratic credentials when it favours you but reject when it doesnt favour you. Democracy gurantees freedom of choice but in the ibomans dictionary everyone must follow his choice or they become enemies....

But I am not Igbo nau and I don't castigate peopple for making their choices

assent:
You are an enemy of Nigeria yourself. That's why you are campaigning for a drug dealer.

Please bro, start campaigning for your beloved Atiku and leave those who want to campaign for Tinubu to do so in peace.

PlayMaker14:
The fate that befall Godwin Maduka at the Anambra Gubers will befall Bobo Chicago....


Regardless, Tinubu for President 2023.

Who was Godwin Maduka and what happened to him?

garfield1:
Expatiate please.like Benue apc 309,000 pdp 340,000?

Yeah, something like that.

How many votes will 70% of Taraba translate into? Is it estimated to be 245,300 or 750,621?

efighter:
Igbos are the only tribe that thinks that a Fulani herdsman should be the next President if they (Igbos) cannot be. What a people!

Atikuchukwu the Cameroonian bisexual and US fugitive will never rule Nigeria

The Igbos feel their interests will be better protected with an Atiku presidency... it's a valid choice.
Atiku would have been better than Buhari.

RiceProducers:
Osinbajo will win Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom. The dynamics are completely different with Osinbajo

PDP will win Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States but APC may win Bayelsa State.

However, you need to know that 60% in Rivers is NOT the same thing as 60% in Bayelsa.

garfield1:
Osibanjo will win 70% of the south west,55% of the north east,60% of the north west,55% of the north central.
Atiku will win 70% of the south east and 60% of the ss...

In the north west,atiku will win sokoto and kaduna but will lose the other 5 states.in the north east,atiku will win Adamawa,taraba but will lose yobe,borno,gombe and bauchi narrowly.
In the north central,Benue,abuja,plateau and nasarawa is 50 50 but osibanjo will take kwara, kogi and Niger.

In the south east,osibanjo will lose abia,imo and ebonyi narrowly but atiku will win anambra and enugu massively.
Atiku will win rivers,bayelsa,akwa ibom,delta narrowly.. Cross river and edo is 50 50

In as much as this look fairly balanced, you need to improve on it by translating the % votes into numerical votes.

Areola14:
That guy they chopped off his penis is the main target... Cultist don't just attack any how, mostly on campuses... It's either the guy is dragging a babe with another guy on campus, or himself is in a hot argument with another rival... Because, I wonder why didn't they kill him, or brake his hand and or leg. Why his penis? They did that So that he will not continue to eat pomo again! That is the reason, I don't date all these campus ladies, they can destroy your life and move on with theirs...... And if I will do, I would make sure the lady make advances to me, not me imposing myself on her....

What will the student be using to fffuck nau?

The man is cursed for life!






He will need a prophet with strong annointing to conduct deliverance for him or alternatively he should go to Osun river in Oshogbo and wash his head at 12 midnight with a black soap from the Osun priestess to cleanse his body and soul.

Jandor, the man to set lagosians free from the shackles of Baba sope.

Your profile reads "Your trial never greater than Gods Grace" yet you're wishing your fellow man bad.

What is the name of the man and his party?

Asgard73:
Tinubu is a Yoruba god. His people worship him.

Honestly I don't understand why some of the Igbo youths on this forum are trying to make the 2023 election look like an Igbo vs Tinubu contest.

Out of the four posts opened on this forum by the OP, 3 was about campaign of columny against Tinubu while the other one was against Osibanjo.

muheeb01:
You people should stop,can't stop laughing tbvh...which kind topic be this,I think it's part of old age,this man should go arrest,let Igbo also rule



Check my signature and profile for what I know how to do best

How is Tinubu preventing Igbos from ruling sir?

So if Tinubu suddenly drop dead today, an Igboman will be made president?

DasaintHope:
If your position comes from a point of critical analysis, then with all due respect it's either you have a less than average IQ or you're simply suffering the side effects of bad governance. Either way I don't blame you, continuous denial of facts doesn't establish it as a lie.
Ciao.

Abusing people whose views are different from yours on the Lekki shootings doesn't portray you as a matured and intelligent person either.

JohnFGbegile:
useless brown teeth criminal.
Thunder scatter him there

You woke at 6 am to type all these?
























Eeeyah, you need to take care of your mental health.

assent:
And you are here codedly campaigning for a drug dealer?

You are still making the same mistake.


You can't win like this, by trying to paint a particular candidate bad but you can win by ACTIVELY participating in the political processess i.e join a political party or start convincing people to vote for your candidate.

assent:
So, opposing anyone is your own definition of hatred? You Hailers are pathetic.

Anyone who says anything you don't like is automatically guilty of hate speech.

And where did I say that?



What most of you don't know is that, you can't really change the political directions of your state, let alone Nigeria on social media.






Try to join a political party, attend their ward meetings, congresses ,rallies, campaigns and conventions.





At present , about 85% of the members of political parties are Okada riders, market women, artisans, unemployed youths, NURTW and thugs.

We need more of educated and new generation Nigerians to be part of the political processess.


People like Tinubu are well enrenched in the real political processess and only real political processess can defeat them. You can't achieve this on social media.


Irrespective of whoever becomes the president, he will still be influential and directly benefit from the presidency.

assent:
You don't vouch for them; you only codedly campaign for Tinubu

Do you know the meaning of campaign?

Point to just one post where I have ever said people should vote for one person ,that he will do XYZ or that he is this or that.

If Tinubu wants to contest, let him be. I don't need to hate him because you hate him. All of us can't be supporting just the candidate you support and all of us can't hate the candidate you hate

assent:
Any liar can claim to be righteous on a public forum.

What people like you don't understand is that abusing or causing a formidable presidential aspirant online will NOT stop him from contesting or cause his supporters to change their minds.

It will only appeal to those who already hate him like you.

And when this critism have an obvious tribal colouration, it may be counter-productive casting the aspirant as a victim of tribal hatred, causing his own people to close ranks and rally behind him e.g the strong campaign of calumny against Buhari in 2014 caused most Northerners to rally behind him.


Fortunately or unfortunately, about 70% of the voters aren't on social media. Most of the people on social media don't have PVCs, those who have hardly come out to vote.

assent:
Any liar can claim to be righteous on a public forum.

Pls post just one post where I canvass for people to vote for ANY candidate.


I don't take Nigerian politicians serious and I don't vouch for anybody.

I am a rational person who know that in a presidential election, there are bound to be plurality of opinions, preferences and of course sentiments. I accommodate divergent views and different shades of views.

I am totally against bullying people for supporting whoever they like whether the candidate is Jonathan, Atiku, Tinubu, Buhari or even the Devil.

assent:
Lolz. You castigated buruji kashamu for being a drug dealer, whereas you campaign for Tinubu, who is another drug dealer.

You guys are Hypocrites and liars.

I have NEVER campaigned for any politician.


However, I am 100% against limiting the rights of ANY citizen to aspire to any office. This is democracy.

ChangedMan1999:
Boy, enough of this nonsense

The boy carry Tinubu's matter on his head.
