The problem here is, they are coming out but the registration process is something else.

Did you see where the OP said in the area where he stays in the North that there is PVC registration center nearby?

But how can a whole local government in the South East have a single registration center?

To add to the suffering, a single machine?

Truthisunique2:
Igbos should come out and get their PVC in south east

Stop giving excuses of inec disenfranchisement in east, I am in Edo, we get similar experience but Edo number keeps increasing tremendously

Look at Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta that won't be voting apc yet getting good numbers so you can't give me the excuse of Inec doesn't want your non apc vote to count

Its really counter productive to be deceiving yourself that your majority is not based in your native region rather based in other people's region

How have that majority numbers change the voting block pattern of the region inclination

Obi is winning North Central. People think this 2023 campaign is between tribes, but it's much more than that.

As usual, most Northerners will vote on religious lines, and three candidates are there.

But Obi has the support of liberal Nigerians as well as majority of Christians. That's where the edge comes for him.

zionmde:
Exactly
2023 is not meant to be the usual politicking. Enough of all these stupidd politics that have rendered Nigeria cripple up to this day. Nigeria is in a sorry state and what is needed now is revolution, going away from the normal way of doing things

Kwankwaso can only harm atiku and tinubu's ambition because that's where they are hoping to get block votes from. NE and NW aside that SS SE are no go areas and NC is a free for all contest

2023 will be interesting. A battle between those who want us to Continue in this backward path and those who want change

Nigerian voters are all the same, whether those supporting PDP, APC, or LP.

maasoap:
The man himself has realised that Obi supporters have mob mentality and they are uncontrollable.
Most of them are just getting their PVCs for the first time, so they don't even understand that no voter should be coerced to vote for a particular candidate

Another endearing quality of a good leader.

One of the reasons why I want him is, the Judiciary will be given a free hand to function, just as a true democratic nation should be.

By empowerment, I mean starting with the provision of power and a proper transportation channel for good s to move easily.

wirinet:
With diesel at 900/litre, horrible roads and multiple taxation - both legal and illegal? Remember the SMEs will have to compete in terms of price and quality with SMEs in China, Vietnam and India.

We are saying the same thing.

Teenaira:
Every country in the world have both Macro and micro economic issues. Infact, the two economic indicators are twins. My brother, let's tell our self the truth, I have never seen a people so hard working like Nigerians. Our problems are more of structural, administrative and political. I am sure you want a better Nigeria, that is exactly what I want and many Nigerians.

See, Nigeria have population meaning we have a strong market. Meaning we have a big market for both products and services. Our service sector is a bit okay but we have a poor production sector because our environment is not in anyway supporting production. So we have a very poor production efficiency. EFFICIENCY is the most important concept in a free market economy. If we have the right environment to support production today, I can assure you most of our Igbo brothers doing importation will start moving to production. I don't want us to criminalise our brothers doing importation, they are not criminals and they are not undermining the economy, instead, I will want you to see them as being in the service sector. Everybody in the world would have wanted to invest in Nigeria because we have a BIG market but we got to work very hard to remove most of the structural, administrative and political issues. They are indeed the killer. There is no part of this country that is not endowed with both abundance of natural and human resources.

So I don't agree with Peter Obi, on the issue of importation rather than production. I am not an Igbo man but I know the Igbos are not in anyway undermining the economy, rather they are providing a service for which their is a big DEMAND. If the environment supports production, a lot of the importers will move into production.

Anybody who wants to be president must be ready and prepared to face all manners of challenges, there is no magic wand anywhere. The politicians are the biggest issues. They will promise heaven on Earth and then they will end up creating more problems, so the country continues to deteriorate. They are the one undermining the economy and heating up the polity. The biggest issue right now is that we don't have a country.

That's why I always say Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigeria.

Otherwise, he will know a credit system will not work in Nigeria's current state. The first thing is to empower SMEs and provide a conducive environment for them to strive.

Saintinoo:
Wait so car loans is our problem in this country? So the country should forget about investing in education, health, SMEs, power and first give workers car loans?

Are you trying to tell me that kidnappers and armed robbers and even Yahoo boys are gainfully employed and went into fraud and theft because they couldn't afford a car?

Production economy is what got developed countries where they are today. You can't have a proper functioning credit economy without becoming productive.

Nigeria has a macro economic issue, and not a micro economic one.

Teenaira:
You definitely do not understand what you are saying. Credit economy is the big difference between the developed economy and the under developed countries. If we can have a functional credit system, it will solve a lot of problems.
That your obi production economy is the dumbest thing anyone can ever say. Obi is only deceiving you. Tell me why are manufacturing companies running out of Nigeria. Anybody can produce anything but you must produce at least possible cost. Otherwise, you will not be competitive in the market. So the problem is getting the right environment to produce so that you have the best of efficiencies and not because people do not want to produce. So if production is profitable lots of people will go into production otherwise, even if government try to force people, they will still not go into production. That is a major pillar of free market economy.

We move!! We need only credible leaders in the party this time.

Kpam has done well in his constituency. I know he will get the support from his people.

Read my comment well. Then you will see where I mentioned "free crowd."

Truthisunique2:
Adeleke dey get pass these numbers when he visit each lga for osun

He is not contesting for president

Campaign never start oo. Just imagine the free crowd when Obi starts touring Nigeria. .

Smithkafors:
Nice one...... We are moving ahead!

Just imagine the useless comments above me.

Nigeria needs peace and togetherness at this crucial time of our history. But some stupid, useless, and nonentity fake supporters of Tinubu and Obi will not let us here word.

I don't think these animals above even have PVC. All they do is plant hatred among themselves.

Ortom still good pass that one oo.

kingmsookwagh:
Ortom of Benue state go drag am with am....

Na im be say both of them go drag for the position

uchaymart:
Please don't give Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's award to anyone oo.

My governor deserves it.

Sabi - ficate is coined from pidgin. You get the point now?

Analyst7:
Sounded like anambra accent of certificate

Why not have both of them?

Both of them na the same true.

Aurielfinizu:
The man is useless as Hope uzodimma of imo state

A very foolish governor. No meaningful development or project for 7 years. He is surely EFCC's customer after leaving office.

Totilopussylick:
Okezie Ikpeazu

A backward governor with no knowledge of what it takes to be a governor

The award for the most useless governor in Nigeria goes to ...

Somebody just typed his opinion, you qouted him with insults.

This is what happens in a faceless forum.

Acedude:
You are actually a fool! I hardly discuss politics on this forum. But this is the height of foolery. This picture is as far back as 5 years ago. Your brain has nothing else to do than to propagate fake news. Go run some errand boy!

It's time really

Those people don't support people simply because they are Igbos. A Rochas and an Osinbajo on the ballot box, South East will go for an Osinbajo.

Even if Obi starts messing up now, he will be bashed by the same Igbos.

That's why I love them. Anybody wey mess up go collect wotowoto, irrespective of his status. And that's why nobody can lord over them, unlike Tinubu in Lagos.

sammy329:
Imo state has 80 delegates and Rochas Okorocha an Igbo man had zero, use this as a free information.

Don't mind him. He forgot that Tinubu was a governor in Lagos, which is a single state out of 36.

He ought to be scrutinized properly since he's coming out for the most important position in the entire country.

Reference:
You can imagine what a so called citizen is saying.
Little care or thought about what the country and its hapless citizens are going through.....
Nigerians need many, many, many, more years over hot coals for such dross to be purged from our collective psyches.

If Peter Obi takes the VP position, he will lose 80% of his supporters.

Kwankwaso as flagbearer means all the presidential candidates from the three major parties are Muslims.

That's unacceptable!!

It happened in the past election, and it shouldn't happen again. Northerners are just greedy with power because population favors them.

They don't even contribute meaningfuly to Nigeria's GDP but they want to control the resources.

Realists:
If Moses (as) did not go to the mountain, The Mountain would have gone to Moses. Peter Obi should kindly take the VP slot, for the masses interest.

How about Owerri town? There is Okigwe too. Only 70,000 have registered so far in the entire state.

Common, you guys should make a better escuse than this.

okeysoninv:
most of bornu people are living in IDcamps in millions, thousands so it's very easy to reach. They no born inec staff well to move around in northern bornu. Or brinin gwari of kaduna state. So as it's happening here so it's happening there too..the difference is no idp camps in South East. But same time inec can not move around in orlu zone and parts of anambra State.

Why would there be fewer machines in the first place?

Billions have been given for this exercise where did it go?

I could remember in 2015 when I did my PVC registration, the machines were available for every ward.

okeysoninv:
the problem with the machines is national wide, you don't expect inec staffs to move into hinter land where their security is not guaranteed. Discard ipob , let's get south east working again. Or continue shielding them let's our zone continue burning. Thank you

I'm in Benue and the process is smooth here. Over 200 persons registered yesterday.

A friend of mine went in the morning and collected number 203. He went back by 2 pm and was able to register before 4pm.

I think INEC is bias here for people in the South East.

We keep seeing massive turnouts there, but why are they not being registered?

beylinko02:
This is so true. I am in AKWA IBOM and no where around to register FOR PVC. Can we make this viral and call the attention of well meaning Nigerian to this?

But they can move freely in the North? Okay.

okeysoninv:
you don't expect inec staff to move to a place where their security is not guaranteed.when ipob is still breathing fire .the problem with the machines is nation wide except if imo people will call EU to organize youth concert like the one in TBS and Abuja.

Look at your excuse. How about Northern region that is being ravaged by Boko haram?

Have you been to the East? Somebody who has been there and seen the massive turnout is telling you what is happening and you are doubting him.

This Nigeria is for everybody, remember that.

okeysoninv:
Oga, alot of ipob people in South East has vowed never to register and collect their PVC. So channel your grievances to ipob. Orlu zone has been the hot bed of ipob activity . They even killed some staff and people.blame the choas on ipob leave stupid marginalization by inec. The problem with the machines is everywhere in the country.

Let's hope so.

Eriokanmi:
I agree. The majority are Northerners but not all of them would support a particular candidate, mind you People are woser now. A region like southern kaduna is massive in pooulation and that's why they're trying to reduce them to size by always attacking them. They're a force to be reckoned with in the north.

Number of voters' manipulation is gone forever. Only what's on the inec server will be reckoned with as votes would begin to count right from the polling booth now

Someone can't also stand at the corner and be giving teens 1k each and march them to a closet to thumbprint on a ballot paper randomly as it was in the past anymore. Never again .

Exactly. The stress is too much in the South East, and I wonder why governors over there are not helping matter s.

I always laugh when they say South east doesn't have population, because I know they are lying.

I've lived both in the North and the East and I know the population difference is not as they have claimed.

bigpicture001:
Bro try to know why before. U sstart to insult a people you don't know thier. Plight... My elder sis had surgery and I was in the southeast for about 4days.. in her house young adults living with them went tto do PVC registration threes staright days without success... They all have. Up and said they won't anymore.. that the stress is. Not worth it...

That made me go straight to the local government and found. Out that in the. Whole of that local government, only once center registers this exceercise and the. Crowd is over whelming....

INEC knows this that is why dey decided to bring more PVC to the east.. if not for the outcry.. those 201 machines wouldn't HV landed.... My sister also confirmed that sh never votes, cuz polling units. Is very far away from that community if over 80000 people on election day same for all the. Community

Majority are Northerners. Moreover, those in power vover there can manipulate results to reduce the voting number of none indegenes.

That's why it's important to have the numbers in the South too.

Eriokanmi:
Those who registered in the north aren't all northerners. They're people from all parts of Nigeria, living there
