"Just Because You Lost An Election" by Goodlyhrt(m): 9:07pm On Apr 20
I come across this type of comment here regularly. Especially when some APC sympathizers refer to Igbo or "obidients" . I don't think the people who make this comments really think things through before commenting.

Is it only Igbo people or obidients who lost an election? what about the Hausa people, atikulators, kwankwasiya all lost an election too going by that nonsense logic, so I don't understand why some people want to uphold the narrative that only obidients lost an election.

Fine we lost an election so we should not talk about the ills and misgivings of the present administration again, simply because we lost an election? We should all swallow everything bad the government of the day do in the name of patriotism?

You that did not lose "an election" what benefit or privilege are you enjoying from this government that the people who lost are not getting?

Is there any location where you can buy commodities at a cheaper rate exclusively for "people who won an election"

Idiotic comments like this make me wonder when we will get it right in this country.

We all lost an election when dollar rate is high, price of petrol is cut throat, prices of commodities are not affordable for the common man, billions in revenue and quoted contracts but nothing to show for it.

Fraud, lies and deceit in government. Questionable characters running the affairs of this nation.

In all these things we should all clap and lick their stinking behinds at once if not we are wailers?

What evidence do you people who won an election have to prove that things are better off with this present crop of leaders.

Are you satisfied with the mediocre results we get while spending a fortune.

We should be happy and applaud the government for Naira that gained slightly against the dollar while depleting our foreign reserve or stupendously borrowing to defend the naira.

I don't really blame the average Nigerian because the politicians have deliberately under-educated us creating an illiterate majority for their selfish interest.

A majority that will applaud and celebrate them when given crumbs.

Unlike a highly educated society that will question every Kobo spent, scrutinize the person of every public office holder and their policy and become a pain in their neck to even make occupying public offices unattractive and reduce the do or die affair electoral system we run in this country.

So basically, it's not your intention but you're doing it anyway. Then why float the naira? Why put us through all this suffering only to go back and be doing the same thing after things have become worst?

Is it that these guys don't think before making decisions? They removed subsidy and floated naira at the same time. Dollars shot upwards immediately and by the time they realised they had made a mistake and decided to go back to paying subsidy and supporting the Naira just as Buhari was doing, the dollar equivalent of the 400Billion Buhari was paying for fuel subsidy monthly has become over 900 Billion.

Now they're paying 600 Billion as subsidy. To get us back to the 200/lt we were paying before, they will have to pay the full 900 Billion plus. So tell me, why didn't these guys just continue with Buhari's style? They wanted to be different. Now see where it has landed us? Unprecedented suffering while subsidy is STILL being paid. Why then did we suffer? Why then did we have to go through all this hardship?

What's worse is that most Nigerians don't know the all what I've just said because the APC are masters of propaganda. They know that our achilles heel, our weakness, is tribalism. So they make you more worried about Peter Obi being a pretender, or Bobrisky going to jail for 6 months, and other frivolities, just to distract Nigerians from what is most important. Most people don't even know that they're SUFFERING FOR NOTHING! SUFFERING FOR ONE MANS FOOLISHNESS!!

Bola Tinubu, the least you can do is atleast own up to your mistakes and apologise to Nigerians. You owe us that much. A LOT of people have lost their jobs, companies have folded, people have committed suicide, marriages have ended, futures have been derailed and dreams shattered, all because you made a life altering decision out of the sheer euphoria of being sworn in as commander in chief. Baba, do the honourable thing and apologise to Nigerians. At least we can start the healing process from there.

Well, it is not about the election you lost nor the criticism. It’s more of giving a “NIGERIA WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE YOUR LEADER DID NOT WIN” ! A lot of you guys have chosen to be critics even when you have reasons to give accolades for little growths .

You are missing the point. Who wins or not, does not matter here.

In short I advocate that the electorates be more strict with their leaders from the process of selecting the leader to reactions to the kind of leadership being meted out to the populace.

Enough of mediocrity and settling for less alias being "Happy for the little progress" when we spend more and get very little in return. No reasonable person should be happy with how low the standard is.

When Obidients, and the more vitriolic ones on Nairaland are always Ndigbo from my experience, are mocking states in the South West or North that unfortunate incidents happen in by saying "they wanted to teach Peter Obi a lesson", how exactly should that be interpreted?

When Obidients, once more always the Ndigbo ones, till today still refer to President Tinubu as a Mandate Thief despite Peter Obi not once claiming to win the elections at the Tribunal or Supreme court, how are people supposed to react?

At some point, Obidients would have to learn to lose gracefully and then move on to plotting how to win hearts and minds of others for next time instead of the bitter, abusive and insultive posts we were regaled with post election, post Tribunal and post Supreme court decision.

I will repeat, all this nonsense is JUST BECAUSE THEY LOST AN ELECTION!!

PS: Not all Ndigbo Obidients behave in the manner described above.

Those who refused to move on from the 2015 election loss are still the same set of people disturbing our peace just because their principal loss in a contested election, someone who came third for that matter.

Yeah, just because some people loss in an election shouldn't make them to be wishing evil for the country, calling any development news propagandas and attacking those who believe in the progress of Nigeria unnecessarily.

Just because they lost in an election shouldn't make them to stop using their free gifted senses
