This analysis is very presumptuous. First of all, this is d first time in our history when a huge number of our electorates are fixated on a candidate not a party, hence there is no data to support this claim. I'm more afraid about these election postulations because they have the potency of unrest should they not match the actual election results.

More importantly, based on data, the SS and SE predominantly are PDP strong holds, they control the structure and resources in such areas, it's not going to be a walk in the park wrestling the PDP hold in these states. If you postulate that Labor party will split the votes, that is comprehendible but an outright win will require a lot of hardwork.

Based on previous elections, the turnout in the South East is very poor, a cumulation of 3 states in the South East can't match the voting power of rivers not to talk of Lagos and Kano.

This election will be decided in the north, the north has experienced a reduced occurrence of unrest especially in the NE, it might translate into an improved election turnout. By the way this election is going to be the most financially induce one in our history.

The race is still too close to call.

Even your own submission is more muddled than hers.

In your first paragraph, you claimed that a "huge number electorates are fixated on a candidate not a party" and ended up saying that there's "no data" to buttress her assumptions.

How did you get your own data to come up with the "huge number" in reference?

Then you went on to submit that some zones in the south are controlled by a party, and concluded that it would be difficult for another party to wrestle control.

How do you people reconcile these seemingly distorted views in public space?

Hope you know this?

It's a lie! Buhari still lost Benue, plateau and I think nasarawa.. what made him president t is winning SW

You should be sure of what you are saying instead of thinking.
You should understand what middlebelt means in the Nigerian political context.

These are what you can quickly google before typing rapidly based on emotion.

Buhari won the core north in 2003, 2007 and 2011.

The disgruntled PDP states with the middlebelt votes joined with the southwest vote gave him an edge of 2 million in 2015.
Kwara, Niger, Kogi, Kaduna, Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe were all strong PDP states before 2015.

That you are contending this is an indication that you do not understand what you are saying.

Meanwhile, Benue was won by Buhari in 2015 by 54%
Samuel Ortom was practically elected governor of Benue State in 2015 as an APC member.

In the southwest, Ekiti was lost to the PDP,

You don't have understanding.

The core north voted for Buhari three times without the votes of the Middle Belt - in 2003, 2007 and 2011.

He lost three times.

It was ONLY when the Middle Belt and the southwest joined forces with the disgruntled PDP in 2015 that Buhari won with 2 million votes.

BOKO HARAM is Kanuri not FULANI.

Boko Haram headquarters is in Borno State.

Boko Haram is an Islamist/jihadist.

Obasanjo has summed up the whole idea.

Islamization and Fulanization.

The two are one and the same.

Officialgarri:
The anchorer of that news is a Igbo. She's an Igbo lady who don't even know other candidates except Peter Obi.

Maybe, maybe not.
But an "anchorer" is not the editor of the programme. The editor is responsible for a programme not the presenter.

A Yoruba later was promoted to a senior position in CNN Africa only a few days ago by the way.

You should be worried about the message in this graphics. You should not act unconcerned. Trying to shift the blame can only make you feel good. It won't make the issue go away.

It is good that you are sweating up and down to verify accurate numbers.

This is a good development for our country.

Many of you people believed the APC tales when they claimed that the price of oil was over $100p/b for 16 years.

Pastor Kumuyi has been trying lately to unfetter the members of his church from unnecessary dogma and traditions of men, which had made his congregation shrink and unappealing to the younger generation and therefore not having any future sustainability.

He is trying to untie them from dangerous beliefs that they had previously assumed are the manifestations of holiness, but which are mere human standards.

But in doing this, baba has sometimes got more people confused than before. In this case of women covering their head in the church, it is clearly written in the scripture he quoted (1 Corinthians 11:5). So one wonders what exactly is the trouble if an usher demands that a woman should cover her head at the entrance of the church.

Maybe prophecy is not general, giving that prophecy is a gift for a select few, which makes it exclusive, but can anyone enter the church and not pray? The rest of the verses in the chapter explained the whole issue clearly (from 1 Corinthians 11:6).

Pastor Kumuyi should be careful in throwing his church into confusion. The younger generation that he is trying to attract are even the ones that need biblical guidance from their entitlement tendencies. They should not be indulged to create their own rules.

Baba should know that it is not everyone that will be comfortable coming to the church. There is nothing wrong in women covering their head in the church. Christianity is accepted by faith.

Imagine.
This same Abacha that Tinubu claimed drove him to exile.

What a hospitality worthy of emulation.

Did you not read your Bible?
Is food your reason for going to church?

Do you not have food at home?

Even though the church makes provisions for people struggling financially in their food bank, in order to cater to the soul as well as the body of members, but should this now be something for show?

Even on the occasion of the Holy Communion, everyone is required to eat from home to avoid complications (1 Corinthians 11:34).

The implication of this needless show is that you are likely to go to a shrine or some other ungodly places as long as long as food is being served. You make yourself vulnerable to heresies and false teachings that way.

Thirst and hunger for spiritual food instead. And work to be able afford your own food.

The reason to go to church is to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. The church of God is not a restaurant or an eatery.

“It is written,” he said to them, “’My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’” - Matthew 21:13

There's no other reason than political considerations. They prefer a political crop like rice because it is the staple of Nigerian masses. You know, wasting money on rice would earned them praises from the press than cocoa, coffee, oil palm and others.

Consider how much they have wasted on rice while chasing shadows. All the cash crops that earned Nigeria solid foreign exchange were abandoned because they wanted to stupidly compete with Thailand, India and America in rice production.

You people are just unnecessarily disgracing yourselves over nothing. Lagos is Lagos.

Lagos has attracted millions of people since the colonial days till this day. The major attractions of Lagos are the sea port and the airport located in the city. The colonial masters built the seaport in Apapa and linked it with the railway to carry goods to the North. They also developed the airport in Ikeja, which served as the major gateway for international travel for a long time.

While many other airports have been developed, which allows people to travel out of the country without the necessity of going through the airport in Lagos, not many seaports have been developed, which still makes Lagos a major commercial hub of the country. The seaport serves as the transit for export and import. It only makes economic sense for financial institutions to have their headquarters close-by to service their numerous customers.

As a former colonial capital and later the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria, key military and defense institutions were sited in the city by the Nigerian government. Major army, navy and airforce baracks are situated in the city. Educational institutions established by the Nigerian federal government are also in numbers. A federal university in Akoka, many research institutions in Oshodi and so on and all of those things have made Lagos what it is.

All the major highways in Lagos were developed by the Nigerian government. Apart from Abuja, which became the Federal Capital Territory in 1991, there is no other city/state that the federal government of Nigeria developed as much as Lagos.

Even till this day, the federal government still financial substantial part of the projects in Lagos. The Lekki Seaport is part financed by the federal government, the rail lines are part financed, etc. The FG is also a guarantor for the heavy loans being used for some of the projects as well.

With all the already made major infrastructure in place, Lagos is the easiest state for anybody to govern. All a governor needs to do is maintain refuse collection and manage traffic. The Nigerian media would praise the governor, because Lagos is the home of the media in Nigeria.

The media don't hold a Lagos governor accountable for corruption as much as they hold other state governors. The only way a Lagos governor can see the wrath of the media is when refuse litter the streets or when the traffic situation becomes unbearable, such as the Apapa gridlock. Otherwise, you won't read anywhere that a Lagos governor did not provide amenities.

Go back in time and check how Nigerian media praised even the military administrators of Lagos during the draconian regimes of the military. The last guy that was there before Tinubu was Buba Marwa. He was the darling of the press and Lagosians. Tinubu did not know his left from his right in the early days of his government. Lagosians were quick to compare his lackluster performance those days with Marwa's, which was not a match.

LegendHero:
Bro Tinubu will win the SW with nothing less than 75-80% of the votes.

That 75% is the lowest amount he can get. The indices are already appearing, go into the heart of Yorubaland and take stock.

Aside Lagos where Peter Obi/Atiku will get some votes (which will be divided between them both), Peter obi wont see 30k votes in any SW states up to Kwara.

30-50k votes mean you count 50,000 heads that will go and thumbprint for him in Ekiti for example. I wish him best of luck if he thinks he can get that.

But I’m sure Atiku will perform better in the SW than Obi because there are PDP structure that will want to go to Abuja and they will want to mobilize for him but they will be too few to make much impact.

How do you people make this analysis?
Do you base your calculations on some luck or hope or or rigging or what?

What gives you guys this kind of mad audacity to make wild projections this way without any scientific bases?

Do you know how evil APC is? Do you assume the juju will still work like that?

APC just recently got terribly defeated in the home state of Tinubu himself. Does it says anything to you? That was not even the first time. The last time was a daylight robbery that Buhari himself admitted that they won by remote control.

APC did not even win the presidential election in Ondo in 2019, despite all the suppression of votes and INEC's postponement of the election by a week.

Many of those governors in the north are on their last term, should it not say something to you? The northwest governors had even called for the replacement of Shetima by one of them - apparently to get their total commitment. In any case, will they rig again with the new INEC method? Time will tell.

The only way the APC candidate can win this election is by massive election rigging in connivance with INEC. And that would be a very disastrous thing for the country.

Elections should normally reflect the mood of the nation. If human nature is taken into consideration, no living things gravitate towards its predator if given a choice. Humans are the highest living organism in this world. When given a choice, nornal Humans run away from predators to avoid destructions and death. Only people in bondage don't have any choice. APC is currently a predator party in Nigeria - From west, east, north and south.

Are these 75-80% voters in South West not part of the destroyed economy? Are they not the same people who cannot send their children to you again? Are they not the people who are being killed in their farms on a consistent basis while the APC presidential candidate and his supporters accuse them of making those killings up? Are they not the same people being owed salaries for many months?

People cannot even eat food. Is it not just this past week that a young man committed suicide because of financial difficulties in the same South West?

Young men cannot even get married again. Thousands of school leavers are not doing anything. Youths are now more attracted to internet scam than ever before. Increase in ritual murders is indicative of people's desperation.

Are you saying South West people are blind to all these and would reward these plagues with 75-80% votes?

Democracy is beautiful when it rewards good deeds with votes and punishes evil and satanic performances of political parties with defeat at the polls. When parties do well, it shows immediately on the wellbeing of the citizens. Businesses thrive, lives are prolonged, people proper. They eat good food. Get married. Raise children. Serve God. None of these can be found in APC record for 7+ years.

When the party cannot be held accountable but becomes boastful as if they own the citizens, then disaster is not far from that polity.

APC is configured to be evil and satanic. No one is allowed to criticize the party and the evil policies. No party member is allowed to show any grievances. No member, no matter how highly placed is allowed to offer any suggestions. Journalists are not allowed to ask any questions or write opinion, they are punished with fines. Protests are suppressed.

This is not the kind of record that should be rewarded with a presidential win.

Will they use the Holy Bible to consecrate Charles? Will those sacred Christian anointing rites be part of Charles' coronation by his imperial wokeness, the Archbishop of Canterbury?

Till will tell.

But isn't Dangote Refinery supposed to solve all Nigeria's oil troubles?

It's concerning how no one is even mentioning that project again. Not long ago every officials of this government and all their clowning ignorant followers were quick to tell the world that Dangote Refinery would magically improve Nigeria's revenue profile and shore up the value of the naira.

What's happening guys?

If this woman was a Nigerian, someone somewhere would have put her age at 145 years, if you refer them to the age of her first child, Charles, at 73, they would not be bothered by that.

And there would not have been anything like mourning her death. The family would have announced her passing in bold graphics as a Celebration of Life.

Ilekokonit:
Part of it is also because in the UK, men have become terrified of approaching women for love lest they get accused of harassment and so a LOT of women make do with intimacy gadgets and some even wear Remote Controlled Vibrating Panties
that have a potent motor such that when they press the remote's JOLT! Lightning button, it delivers to them 5 seconds of jolting vibration that courses through their body and in some cases they may even fall off their chair.

That is the reward human beings get for trying to rebel against God's order.

Goke7:
Will she has said this if osinbajo their personal person was the apc candidate.

I expect a denial soon

Is Osinbajo sick?

ArewaNorth:
Why are u dogmatic by always accepting nonsensical opinions. The same idiots that cook this conspiracy against Yoruba abt ill health of Buhari are the same saying the same nonsense against Shettima. I now start believing the "pull down syndrome of some Yoruba people". These are surreptitious sabotage to campaign against their kin.

Should Nigeria risk such sectarian crisis and ethnic tension and mistrust again because of just a single individual's personal ambition?

Were you not around when Buhari spent over 100 days in hospital in the UK? Did you forget what Nigeria went through?

Nigeria was literally on fire with sectarian killings in many parts of Nigeria. Buhari had to be brought back to Nigeria briefly before going back to complete his treatment. Did you forget how many people died during that ethnic tension?

Was it worth it? Even Buhari himself said he had never been that sick in his life. Was the crisis that the sickness created worth it? Of what benefits were the loss of lives and property? What unity did it foster? Had it not further deepened the ethnic divisions in the country?

Tinubu has spent months in the different hospitals in Europe and America recently. He doesn't even say he is not sick. He knows he is unwell. The APC northern governors know he is infirm. If anything happens to him, would it be out of place to reach a reasonable conclusion that the APC northern governors were working to a certain end?

Must anyone tell any human being that this country is too fragile to take that kind of risk again? For the ambition of just one individual?

Is this even a difficult thing to fathom?

Shetima openly declared that he would be in charge of security of the country; knowing fully well that it is the job for the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

No one has refuted that statement till date.

But the foolish Galatians don't have any problem with that.

Well, it is obvious that Tinubu's lifelong ambition is just to be called president, even for a minute.

"Things are returning to normal in Nigeria, the worst has passed." - Alhaji RaufuLai Mohammed

LZAA:
Then you don't know who kukah really is
Kukah has never and will never be a sell out
CAN have no dealings with tinubu on his ticket
He is OHO

You don't want to know what Tinubu is capable of, do you?

Someone that blackmailed a whole party, APC and the president of a country to get his party’s ticket.

Father Kukah should return his money in public. The donation is already compromised. Anything done with the money is already tainted.

Christians should stop accepting 'gifts' from people who do not mean well for the faith. Christians leaders should stop bringing 'gifts' from people with political motives to the church.

Once you accept someone's gift, your judgement is already compromised. You cannot be objective anymore. And the 'gift' portrays you as needy. You can't collect someone's gift and offer any objective criticism, it makes you look ungrateful.

You did not do anything in any corridor or any corner. Maroko 'takeover' from indigenous inhabitants started by the colonials and continued in the 1960s with sandfilling and reclamation from the ocean.

The previous government of Alhaji Lateef Jakande built the road to Epe. It is still the same road that you people put tolls.

The demolition of Maroko and the displacement of its residents was an emotional topical issue throughout the military regime of Babangida.

Your government did nothing in that place. Everything you are claiming is entirely private. It would be good if you showcase what exactly your government spent the huge IGR on.

Maroko Evictees Mark 25 Years Of July ‘90 Massacre Over Lekki

Validated:
Do you think CAN is made up of poor imams? How much is Tinubu going to give:
Pastor Adeboye
Bishop Oyedepo
Bishop Okonkwo
Pastor Kumuyi
Bishop Kukah
Bishop Ibiyeomi,
Etc. You think these are poor men?

Financial inducement works in many ways. Many times it doesn't have to be billions of dollars. Flight ticket here, funeral condolences donation there.

You should know that some of these pastors lack discretion. They don't know what constitute bribe and would even walk into the trap of a chronic bribe giver like Tinubu.

Under the guise welcoming everyone to the church, some of our pastors accept money from any type of character. Father Kukah is mentioned in this report as a beneficiary of Tinubu’s money. Tinubu did it knowingly and already expecting him keep his own side of the bargain.

You can see that Tinubu and APC don't regard Christianity much. You can already sense that they deeply believe that Christian leaders are like commodities that they can purchase. They started by literally RENTING charlatans and gave them cassock to appear in their show. Then they have followed up aggressively with actually paying money for settlement.

hotseat:
The credibility of CAN would be at stake should they succumb to this shenanigan being put forward by Tinubursted and his Islamic adventurists and conquerors.

The Abiola days are since long gone!

The reality is that the issue of religion has become a critical part of our democratic process and those who say it doesn't matter are simply playing the ostrich.

If the Mu-Mu ticket is allowed to stand, Nigeria would have become a full fledged Islamic country.

CAN and indeed, all non-Muslims had better be mindful of this fact, lest they live to sing the nunc dimittis in the years ahead!

CAN, trade not your birthday for a mere pot of porridge, the Esau way!

Nothing short of Father Kukah publicly refunding Tinubu’s money will redeem their image at this point.

They are quoting Tinubu’s donation to Kukah's charity as an evidence of their deal. And you can see that he and the new CAN leadership are showing a level of acceptance. It's a kind of quid pro quo.

If they are this bold to openly mention monetary transactions between Christian leaders, then you shouldn't doubt what they have done in secret.

The report indicates that money has been paid to some people to soften the stance on rejection of anti diversity and anti-Christian ticket.

The ambiguous, incoherent response of the socalled CAN spokesperson at the end of the report is also indicative of monetary transactions happening between the socalled Christianleaders and Tinubu.

The people behind the socalled settlement should know that they won't be spared when extremists are killing Christians.

Father Kukah should be reminded that his Catholic priests are currently being abducted left right and center everywhere. Imagine collecting money from these people and repaying it back as ransom in multiple fold and blood.

How much have they paid you people? How much is the blood of the Christians worth?

You should remember that there's nothing done in secret that would not be made open. If as a candidate, they have started paying you to keep quiet, what will they do if they get all the instrument of government?

They already see you as not worth more than money. No principle. No allegiance to the Christian faith and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Your allegiance is to mammon.

The blood of the Christians being slaughtered by the extremists will be upon you all. The blood will be upon your generations.

Very loose woman still looking for customers among her child's teachers.

Very wicked party.

Mr. Spokesman cannot even be consistent.

Yesterday, "Tinubu is a godfather. He is even a good godfather, just like Awolowo, Saudauna" bla bla bla.

Today, "Tinubu is not a godfather again. He doesn't have the power to remove any godson. Only Lagosians can determine electoral outcomes."
