Kagd10: The Yorubas will show them the real owners. You've got Ipob doing whatever in your OSU region, you didn't bother to go there to liberate them but your useless Ipob self wanna come to Yoruba land to cause chaos, you will see fire!
I won't be surprised if true Yorubas disassociate themselves from your comment. I doubt if these thugs, and never-do-wells, strolling vagabonds who commit arson in dastard fashion represent Yoruba or yoruba worldview,
I didn't even know who GRV was until this week, no thanks to APC maliciously dangerous and divisive campaign of calumny against him. Now we are rallying voters for him.
FisifunKododada: Okay no vex. Is it 'primordial thinking' for a man to be denied elected position in Enugu because his grandfather is from Ebonyi? Yes or No please, no long turenchi abeg.
Yes, if that's truly what happened. Because Mr. Abiola is contesting election is Abia State, and no one is noticing him let alone raising 'Bala blu Bula ba' about it.
FisifunKododada: You accuse Yorubas of 'primordial thinking.' Yet, in Enugu a man cannot run for office because his grandfather is from Ebony. Please don't make me laugh. okoros are the most clannish people in Nigeria.
Don't be silly. Show me in that post where I mentioned Yorubas!
Faiththatworks: I guess having a high court judge,special adviser to a current minister, a very successful Nollywood star and so many successful people is a group of losers. P.s We are less than 80 people in my secondary school group. I guess Obidients feel making noise online and bragging is a template for success. God bless Nigeria
So we should come and brag in your bedroom? Cos I don't understand why you're so emotional over a group of 'noisemakers'. Can you not overlook noisemaking, Mr Nollywood?
Faiththatworks: Although I have made up my mind not to comment on the Election of the 25th of February again but I will make an exception today. Soyombo the real indigenes of Lagos State are very very very angry with the boastful, immature and uncouth language the Obidients have been pouring all over the media( online and offline). I was born in Lagos,had my primary and secondary education in Lagos and went to government school with the real indigenes of Lagos growing up. My secondary school education in Lagos State was in a boarding house in a far flung location,where having an ibo name automatically disqualified you from getting admission into the school. I was admitted because I had both ibo and Yoruba names. The Crux of my story is I'm in WhatsApp groups with my primary and secondary school friends and the feedback I get everyday from the group is disheartening. The indigenes of Lagos are very very angry with the loud uncouth noise of the Obidients especially those from ibo extraction. There's anger from imota to isale eko,from badagry to Epe,the people are seething with rage,even the educated ones are unleashing beastly articles about the occupation that's happening on their Homeland. The admin of my WhatsApp groups have deleted many inflammatory post in our groups to calm down nerves. Soyombo should know the mood of the real indigenes of Lagos is that of rage and anger to what they see as a hostile take over of their land. I pray Sanwo-olu wins with a landslide on Saturday,that's the only thing that can assuage the feeling of anger among those I have talked to. I will play my part by voting APC from top to bottom on Saturday. It's an error to keep calling Lagos a no man's land,there are people who call Lagos their state of origin,you must respect the feelings of these real owners of Lagos God bless Nigeria
You should have just maintained your 'dignified' silence instead of spewing this trash. You've just exposed your primary and secondary WhatsApp group members as among those who have not grown beyond their primordial thinking. No one who is truly successful is into this type of bigotry. You need to think deeply about whether you want to remain in such group that are populated by losers.
Obedient will not go away and are least concern with perennial noise making and empty threats every election period. We will vote our choice in Lagos State, and elsewhere. Miscreants, urchins, vagabonds, thugs, touts, who are not only the minority, but also in the same WhatsApp group cannot change or influence the will of the people. If you're coming to the poll on Saturday to make trouble, don't worry trouble is already waiting for you there. Lagos is part of Nigeria, and we all have freedom of choice and movement.
Obidients will be first to arrive at the polling booth. We dare you miscreants to stop us from voting.
DeOTR: They still use cash, no? If the need for cash arises, they have access to it, no? We want to go cashless in Nigeria, according to you, because printing new notes is expensive, but we ended up spending hundreds of billions printing redesigned notes. What's the sense in that? If going cashless is the objective, why not just scrap 500 and 1000 notes instead? You see why you can't defend this stupidity?
As I know it, there is cash, and the N200 has also been made available for use. I'm not sure why you are suggesting that there is no access to cash.
Maybe they should re-introduce coins as they are more durable and far cheaper to maintain.
DeOTR: Even in advanced economies, people can still afford access to $100 in cash daily, if they so wish. But here we are, in a third world nation having to buy cash with at least, 20% of amount of cash we want, just because someone felt Nigeria should go cashless in just 4 months. Anybody supporting this policy is certainly brain dead, at least.
Which advance country are you talking about? Advance countries use card and bank transfers, cash transactions are not popular.
nikky5: Lagos undoubtedly fell to the Labour party last Saturday Presidential election for very obvious reasons. Not all yorubas supported the presidential ambition Tinubu. Majority of the Yoruba Christians who formed the majority voted against him. It was not the Igbo votes alone that gave Peter Obi that feat It was indeed a wake up call to the APC because it was unprecedented. So many igbos were chest beating that they defeated Tinubu in Lagos was laughable. This never affected his victory in any way.
Anyone thinking of a repeat of that victory come 11th March, 2023 during the governorship election must be hallucinating. It's never going to be possible.
First and foremost, Sanwolu is a christian and greatly loved in Lagos. The Muslims also enjoyed his style of leadership and the great work he is doing in Lagos infrastructure wise. He will surely enjoy our bloc votes cos we shall massively vote for him. This will help him to continue the projects that he initiated to the benefits of Lagosians. Lagosians cannot experiment with an unknown candidate.
Another reason the Labour Party cannot capture Lagos is that it's candidate has come to prove to the yorubas that he is a mixed blood. There's a video that has gone viral showing that Gbadebo is a supporter of IPOB. We see him as a full fledged Igbo man who may support IPOB operation in Lagos. Besides, he does not know Lagos neither can he speak the Yoruba language. In all, he is a green horn without any experience to lead a mega city like Lagos.
CAN and the Ndigbo in Lagos has promised Sanwolu their full support during the election. Sanwolu has been very friendly with the Igbo community in Lagos and allows them to do their business without any hindrances. So, why will Sanwolu fall on Saturday?
Supreme Court's Judgement in 2008 Mandated a Candidate to Score At Least 25% in the FCT - Aondoakaa
The Supreme Court's Judgement in 2008 necessitates that a candidate scores at least 25% of the votes in the FCT, the word 'and' was interpreted as conjunctive. That not withstanding, the Supreme Court has the right to depart from its previous decisions if the justice of the case demands that - Michael Aondoakaa, Former Minister of Justice.
FreeStuffsNG: You really think I take outsiders like you on faceless forum like this serious.smh.
My point is that the innocent do not have to suffer in your sinister Igbo group agenda. Lagos will rather vote Sanwolu or Awori Jandour, not a Chinedu.
In the build up to it, innocent patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction who are tiny minority in Lagos deserve my sympathy.I have never seen my Yoruba show this kind of rage. You should ask your relatives in Lagos why no lp flag is flying around in Lagos and on keke unlike build up to the Presidential election.
There is no Igbo agenda.
On that day, Nigerians, whether Igbo or Yoruba, Hausa will troop out and vote their choice, and I believe they will vote LP just to proof a point that they are not moved by hatred. There is nothing clowns and fearmongers can do about it. So if you like, continue fuelling bigotry, hate, and fear. It's your liver, kidney, and other organs that will suffer the bile your spleen is producing. Igbos don't care whether you exist or not. They are not interested in your self destruct. You are infinitesimal in the larger population. Your rant starts and ends here.
Obi rather picked someone with same value as him as VP. Obi is not interested in your brand of moneybag politics. He can stand by himself, cos he's standing with Nigerians.
Given what we know with the benefit of hindsight, Obi made the right call. Obi is a man; no longer a boy!
None of the keke carrries lp flag again and it is not my idea of democracy but this is where your sinister Igbo group agenda brutish politics of hate, lies, ignorance, envy and bigotry has led my Igbo brothers and sisters to. These are ordinary guys ekking a living and have families to feed, they can never get the protection of any Lagos political class let alone from an outsider like Mr Chinedu.
Wisdom is profitable. Anti Igbo videos are just flying upandan on whatsapp platforms where the Yoruba are in the majority in an unprecedented mannner.
I honestly do not find it funny. You all caused this situation of jeopardy even for our patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction domiciled in Lagos.
See fear written all over your face. Sorry guy, I really feel for you. But your sentiment are only share by you. Patriotic Nigerians will troop out as usually to vote Labour Party, and more than that, they will defend their vote.
Igbos are the least concerns in your fear mongering. People are not scared of clowns anymore.
mach7: Wise men apply wisdom. Celebration lies in the heart of him who holds the title PRESIDENT ELECT and those who voted him to achieving that title. However, a lot of you Obidients are not wise, so what can I say??
Alright urchin. I have giving you enough attention, go and roll with your fellow election thieves.
mach7: The Muslim Muslim ticket went to the ballot and won across board winning 25% or more in 30 states of the federation receiving the acceptance of all Nigerians. As for your other comments, a word is enough for the wise.
You won and cannot celebrate? Anyway, I haven't seen where thieves are celebrating. So it's fair enough.
mach7: Inasmuch as I want us to heal from this elections, things are starting to take a very very dangerous turn.
First, things have taken a Tribal turn which is could lead us where we don't want to go. Obi was running a Christian/IGBO agenda and he had his reasons for doing so. But trying to make the victory of President Elect Asiwaju Tinubu seem illegitimate due to his unproven allegations of rigging is a recipe for disaster.
Secondly, boldly stating that you won an election when there is also a designated President Elect is giving room to Anarchy. Such claims can be made in a Court deposition and filed in a Tribunal, but to state on TV in a World Press Conference that he WON the election tilts towards sedition.
Thirdly, the comments of Chief Ezeife on ARISE TV this morning saying that President Elect Tinubu will NOT be sworn in and if by any means he is sworn in then there will be no Nigeria is a clear declaration of sedition if not even rebellion.
I hope Peter Obi is thinking things through and not letting his emotions or wrong advice of people close to him to lead him and his people to a point of no return.
As a final note, other parts/regions of the country are looking closely at what is happening and the truth is that the general opinion and assessment viz a viz the Igbos is not looking good. Another election will still come again and will they be trusted??
Let us think with our heads and not our hearts. It could be dangerous.
This election was largely free and fair and the wishes of majority of voters reflected in the results.
Let's not slide down a dangerous path.
Isn't it hypocrisy to ignore Tinubu Muslim/Muslim ticket and emilokan tribal rant to complain about Obi alleged Christain/Igbo agenda? So what agenda then was Tinubu promoting?
If you don't like Obi's position or comment, go and challenge it in court rather than directly fanning tribal bigotry you claim to be against. Which Igbo position is not looking good? What arrant nonsense is that? So we should keep quiet and allow blatant rigging to slide because we are Igbos? Mind the kind of trash you spew online.
FarahAideed: The low intelligence Obidients Movt took 6 million votes and literarily poured kerosene on it and set it ablaze despite all pleas by visionary people to make the see the following fact:
1.That this election should be used to first remove APC from power 2 . The Obidient movt would only end up wasting crucial votes needed to get APC out 3 The more work the Obidients put in the better for Tinubu campaign 4 .Peter Obi no matter how popular would not be able to get more than 7 million votes and that would not be enough .
The stubborn short sighted mob went ahead and as we predicted
1 They handed Tinubu the presidency on a platter 2. For the first time they allowed an unpopular candidate win the election with just 8 million votes , no Nigerian president has been elected with such low votes but thanks to the Obidients it has happened . 3 .They have destroyed Nigerias secularity by helping to enable a Muslim Muslim ticket. 4 . Because of this stupidity Nigerian Muslims will be leading Nigeria for 24 straight years uninterrupted.. Many of you might never see a Christian president in your life time again left for a miracle 5 .they have set Igbo national politics back at least 30 years .
I don't know why you're weeping. Sorry my bro.
But if the election were to be held again today, we will still vote Peter Obi instead of Atiku or Tinubu. Compentency before anything else, that's how to build a functional society.
We have no pity for PDP or Atiku. What is to say Tinubu's reign will not be better than that of Atiku?
NaijaCowFarm: I am not happy that Peter Obi did not win. There are clear fundamental factors that were so herculean to overcome the very moment LP/NNPP alliance failed. Now that Atiku is seemingly out of the way, it is time to galvanise the opposition towards 2027. It is going to be a marathon, so let us start now. There is no point wasting resources on election tribunal. With the capacity shown by Obi, 2027 is possible, but we need to do the following:
1. Not waste time and resources on election tribunal, but need to let Nigerians know of the brazen robbery APC governors and Wike perpetrated. If the PDP wants to challenge the results, let them do so themselves, without involving LP
2. Get real political structure for Labour Party across Nigeria. One reason we loss was because we did not have strong roots in the North.
3. Galvanise all elected officials to form a formidable force to take on APC, which is already reduced in strength from 21 to 12 states.
4. Peter Obi and LP should focus on the March 11, 2023 governorship polls. Obi should begin touring states LP won to boost morale of LP supports in the 22 states win high voters. Not waste resources in states like Katsina, Yobe, Zamfara.
5. LP leadership should begin talks with NNPP, progressive still in PDP and form a formidable party with structure, just like what ACN/CPC did. We need to start now.
Why do you think he cannot fight injustice while still building LP. Are the two things mutually exclusive?
deadie: You shipped 50% of the cars in Nigeria You funny die. So shipping used cars is a big deal? I ship cars, medical equipment e.t.c as a side hustle bro (see my previous posts for confirmation). My job involves sitting basically 60% of the time idle while I get paid.
I'm lying down on my bed laughing at him. He shipped 50% of the cars in Nigeria. Someone that probably cannot ship 5 cars.
Gabby84: The igbos could not see beyond their nose that if a northern Muslim is president Atiku this tenure it becomes obvious that a southern Christian should succed him by then Tinubu would have been old and out of the game that is the last Yoruba national leader. The only person who will want to rub shoulders with the igbos would be fashola but he is no Tinubu. Politics is not a game of logic but absolute interest. They played into the hands of those who sponsored obi. Reno told them Obi is been sponsored they rein curses on him. Well I would always say they are individually clever collectively foolish. Now more ppl would feel they can do without them politically. Igbos may not produce a president in this nation. Tinubu I know will divide them between the rich and the poor.
Even with your tirade, and the benefit of hindsight, if the election were to be repeated today, under same circumstance, we will still vote OBI. We vote competence, not crowd. Whatever happens we know we voted our conscience, so cry your own cry and leave Igbos out of your mouth.
Let me ask you this, why did you think the winner must have 25% of FCT, let's put constitution aside now since its confusing you
FCT is not a state. It a representation of the diversity of Nigeria. Winning it would be nice, but not winning 25% of the vote is frowned upon by the constitution. I posed a question about FCT to the ChatGPT app and this is what it came up with:
What if a candidate wins the majority votes, and 25% in 36 states, but fails to win 25% in the FCT. What happen, according to the constitution?
If a presidential or gubernatorial candidate wins the majority of votes and also secures at least 25% of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of Nigeria's 36 states, but fails to secure 25% of the votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, according to the Nigerian Constitution, such a candidate cannot be declared the winner of the election.
In this scenario, the election would be declared inconclusive, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would have to organize a supplementary election in the FCT to determine the winner.
It is important to note that the provision of securing at least 25% of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of Nigeria's 36 states and the FCT is a constitutional requirement that must be met for a presidential or gubernatorial candidate to be declared the winner of an election in Nigeria.
- ChatGPT
According to the Nigerian constitution, Tinubu will NOT be declared winner. The best he can hope for is a run-off. Atiku will win the run-off, and Obi will retrieve his mandate from Atiku.
PlayerMeji: So if there were 4 candidates that performed equally well and are winning states after states. then you will insist the all have to win 25% of the states in Nigeria to declare a winner?
Levels2: At this juncture, I need not to dragged with you further since you aren't ready to learn.
You don't know something and I'm trying to correct you instead you keep saying same thing.
Once Tinubu is clear president elect I think by then you will remember someone was correcting you then.
Enjoy your day
Correct who? When you understand conjunctive clause, then you can come back and correct me. Quoting Falana as if a Human Right lawyer is a Constitutional lawyer, let alone the Constitution.
Tinubu will NOT be declared winner. He did not meet the basic requirement. There is no winner, the election is inconclusive. A run-off will be required.
Abuja is not a must once you are able to get 25% from 24 state.
There's nothing like rerun in this election
If otherswise Obi eonyw have been clamoring for cancellation
I understand you are been centimeters but the law is very clear.
Try and make your research and stop dragging what you don't have knowledge about.
Abuja is a MUST.
The constitution said AND FCT. Until you remove AND FCT clause, you must meet the requirement.
I doubt if INEC will be bold enough to ignore this fact. So calm down and face the run-off. What are you afraid of? Afterall it's the mighty jagagban we are talking about. What's a run-off for him? A walk in the park.
