ur head is filled with rubbish analogy. in your place how many how many south-east indigene are residing there?

You can keep hiding from the truth but as at today in Nigeria, Igbos are politically inconsequential because of stupid acts like 3% voter turnout in an election.
Put an Igbo man on the ticket and Igbos will give him the least amount of votes. That's what happened to Ikemba in 2003, OUK in 2007.

Now, only 3.29% of the whole population chose someone for the whole people, and the whole remaining 96.71% of people will have to watch and look as things go bad (or good if they are lucky).

The 96.71% that didn't turn out to vote are tired of a system that doesn't work.

Come to think of it, how have those who left more important things to vote fared? Yes, we are all in the same shithole.

That's what you get when people have lost hope in a dysfunctional system.

Niggar there is no fcking opportunity that is sweeter than the the dollars and millions you make by yourself while the useless election is going on.

Only confused and poor jobless people go out to queue for vote. What can a politician or Government do for someone who make between 300k to 400k profits in his shop daily?

Fck politicians and their evil Gunment

No matter what happens, no matter how you see it,, if we refuse to go and vote, we are still the ones loosing.
I don't know how you people are seeing the whole issue,for me not voting is not because am tired of the failed government or no conpetent candidate of my choice or the believe that my vote don't count in Nigeria political setting but rather, i saw one going out there to queue in the name of voting as one exposing his or her life to danger in the hand of those political thugs and hoodlums that can do undone to victimized their political opponent so as to rig election and i believed that most people that refused to go out there to cast their votes has the same fear as there's no security in the exercise.

In the Just-concluded Aba North and Aba South Federal Constituency Bye-election, out of the registered 496,628 number of voters in the Constituency, only 16,335 were accredited, constituting only 3.29% turnout of the whole number of registered voters in the Constituency.

With this, it just means that, even if the voters turnout is just 0.003% (or something like 35 people out of 759,456 registered voters), INEC will still declare their results like that.

It is really worrisome.

What was the reason for the Low Voters Turnout?

Was it Voter-apathy?
Or were they Boycotting as usual?

(This is a very bitter message to Boycotters.
No matter the boycotting, even if One Single Person Came out to vote, his vote will count, and whoever he voted for would win).

Oooinn, The hunger and frustration Is really doing Well...... grin grin grin

Not only 35% of voters in Lagos, Igbos are 99% of the voters in Lagos. grin
You keep shouting about Lagos while the SE is in ruins and desperate for good leadership. Is it a sin for you to have good leaders in the SE?

Less than 4% of voters came out to vote. Abia is seriously cursed.
The answer to your question is the reason why Igbos are agitating for their own nation where they will be in charge of their leaders.........corrupt Northern politicians occupying Federal government of Nigeria always make sure the most corrupt Igbo politicians emerge winners in the Southeast......a clear example happened in 2019 general election, Imo state people elected their choice Governor Emeka Ihedioha, Fulani corrupt federal government used Supreme court to upturn Imo people's choice and installed a known fraudster Hope Uzodinma as Imo Governor who is now busy destroying Imo state.




Igbos have suffered so much marginalization in the hands of Hausa-Fulani and their Yoruba backstabbing collaborators since the end of the civil war in 1969.

We still have a long way to go with regards to election credibility and acceptability in this country, why will just 3.2% of eligible voters cast votes and INEC declare a candidate victorious. There should be a minimum voters turnout to declare a winner in an election.

Had it been that the Voters Turnouts are huge, there won't be any room for rigging.

The above only applies under normal condition but Nigeria's case is abnormal. Even if we have 100% turnout of voters, Nigerian politicians will rig the result and not the vote.

I think the best thing to do is to have a minimum percentage that most come out to vote, that way the people seeking election will be forced to go out and campaign......It may even force them to have to work and do the right thing to get the votes they want....

It will also be a means for the people to register their displeasure...with the elected officials

1. Some of these registered voters are not around to vote.
2. An average southern Nigerian especially the Igbos have this mentality that the election has been rigged. So why waste your time to vote in 'already decided election' when you can channel that energy to other positive things.
3. Fear of the unknown. Do you expect people to turn out when the political environment is heated up already.

Re: The 3.29% Turnout At The Aba North/south Bye-election Is Worrisome by Asiri1991: 10:14am On Mar 29, 2021
I applaud the people for not coming out. Many died in Kogi and Rivers in a bid t fulfil their civic duties. Yet, it didn't stop the politicians from singing and dancing on Facebook and Instagram; nor did it stop them from donating money to Sokoto. Again, after the resilient effort of Ndi Imo to decide who became their governor, few persons sat in Abuja and impose a distant second runner-up on them. And you want the people to vote. My voter's card became invalid the day I got my NIN. Voting never worked, and will never work in Nigeria. I see how some persons are making it an Igbo affair. Good. One thing is certain, some other groups will one day opt for election boycotts. Time will tell.

Nnamdi Azikiwe even abdicated his position as President and allowed Belewa Prime Minister to be running the government just to show you how liberal Igbos were when Nigeria was in their hands.

Even if everyone votes, do our votes really counts in this country??. Especially under this present administration that doesn't give a damn about its people.

This is a wrong notion, if your vote doesn't count, how come they did not allocate the votes of those that boycotted the election to the contestants?

If votes don't count, why was Tinubu and Lagos APC jittery after seeing the result of the 2019 Presidential election? those that boycott elections are the ones destroying the country.

They have been voting for decades now yet no meaningful impact in their lives from these rogues.

This is not an election that concerned the North.
It is an election for Abia People.

So, if you can't trust your own people now, how are you going to trust them when Biafra comes?

Trust? Who said this is about trust? There are many people who trusted Buhari who regret today.This is about a broken unworkable system called Nigeria. It does not matter who you vote, Nigeria aint moving foward.

Nigeria is like a car with a dead engine, voters are people looking for the best driver for the car with no engine.

Read you can't, to even listen attentively for where; understanding go be rocket science.

The turnout is what is being talked about and not the population. You can see that from the number of registered voters that is if you have eyes.

Pray to God vehemently for the gift of understanding because you sincerely need it.
