Why do you still think that you've a normal country under APC? You are free to play Tinubu's game, vote in the next election and see how it goes.. We will continue the conversation when the time comes.... hopefully you will understand better all I've been trying to tell you by then....
Fact is, we have a country regardless. We can either improve what we have or continue working to destroy it.

I prefer improvement, as I do not find it intelligent to be destroying my country and then blame someone else for my own destruction. And that's apart grom the fact that I will suffer first from the destroying I participate in.

But all that is beside the point. Don't vote please. It guarantees politicians who will give you your referendum will never be in power to give it to you.

You are free to vote if that makes you happy even when you know it's a hopeless exercise under Tinubu's APC government..... IMHO, no sustainable progress can be made until Nigerians push and actualize the decentralization or disintegration of the British contraption called Nigeria.....

Once a revolution takes place, the people will determine how best to go about organizing a national referendum....

citizenY:
So which instruments are you going to use to get your referendum? Or you have another constitition in your kitty?

I think that's the difference between us. Unlike you, I am not hopeless under any government because I do not rely on government for my food. I make my own progress sustainable by the sweat of my own brow.

Nigeria is a democracy, albeit imperfect, where Nigerians should push with their vote. And if you are hopeless under Tinubu, that's the more reason to vote him out, I'd have thought. But your antipathy to voting shows you are not hopeless enough for that at the moment, and you've settled for the status quo and just peddle empty meaningless words, which would most definitely guarantee Tinubu a second term and APC a fifth and sixth which might make you hopeless some more.

By then I hope Nigerians actualize and vote en mass or seventh and eight and ninth and tenth will surely follow with the hopelessness it brings to some.

As long as indigenous people can't exercise their consent over Nigeria's unity, you've no real democracy in Nigeria.... I will not argue with you any futher because it is only a matter of months between now and 2027..... You are going to face the same electoral sabotage issues from other Nigerians similar to 2023 once you vote due to lack of patriotism and national unity.... By the time INEC releases compromised election results, Nigerians like you who know better but choose to pretend not to know the root cause of their national issues will once again act surprised, complain on social media while Tinubu and his APC party rejoice over their massive victory.... There is nothing to gain from doing the same thing and expecting a different result....

You can exercise your consent or not for whatever and as much as you desire. It is of course unfortunate for you that no serious politician is campaigning against Nigeria's unity, but you can always become a politician yourself with a manifesto of disunity.

Just know that your antivote stance is what guarantees Tinubu's "massive victory" in 2027, since you refuse to vote him out. And INEC does not need to sabotage or compromise any result because you compromise and sabotage the process yourself by not bothering to vote!

Also note that you are the one complaining on social media here. And in my own opinion, you are the root cause for not participating in democracy and voting.

I am only making my opinion, I've nothing to complain about Nigeria that is not self-evident.... All we have discussed here regarding 2027 election will be put to the test overtime.... We may continue the conversation hopefully after 2027 election.... Thanks

You are going to come and tell me that Tinubu won in 2027?

Of course he will win! People like you are being too reticent to get off your ass and vote him out. So what should we expect apart from Tinubu winning?

Like I said, Tinubu's party will win again in 2031, and 2035 and 2039 and 2043 and will continue to win until you wake up and have had enough and decide to get off your ass and vote his party out. And until then, all I expect to hear from you is you wailing that Tinubu is taking food off your table and is putting in his own belly.

I don't know why you keep quoting me, I asked that we wait till after 2027 election and see if all I said is true..... Regarding what you said about voting, I don't support 2027 election because I believe what Nigerians need is a national referendum on the country's unity and not an election to install another pretentious corrupt politician as president. I've already told you this before yet you keep going round in circles.... You keep playing to the gallery even when you know the truth, Nigeria is a British creation, a contraption that has glaringly outlived its usefulness......

It's because I am amused at how you unreason.

You don't want Tinubu to win the next election but you can not bother to vote him out.

It's like you expect him so say to himself, "I have made truthera suffer too much. Let me stop by resigning".

I say, continue with your wishing and dreaming.
