Lmao! PDP are very happy, its Governoship rally not Presidential, they will vote for Buhari come febuhari. Dont even think of getting theire votes.

Am watching it Live in AIT... De crowd was there bcus of Abacha son, nobody mention or talk abwt GEJ, no Posters or Banner of Gej in de Campaign... Dey hates him... Everyone in dat campaign will vote 4 GMB in Presidential election... GEJ can't get 5% of votes in Kano... Even Igbos in Kano Hates him.

pendy79:
Why are you fooling yourself?

The event is PDP Kano state governorship campaign flagoff.

Can JonaTAN be in Abia and Kano at same time?

They could not even mention JonaTAN's name

No poster of JonaTAN, no banner of JonaTAN and your ignorantly deceiving yourself that Kano people love JonaTAN.

PDP is PDP!! The Presidential Election comes before all others, if the Governor wants his spot. .he's got to work for it!! His supporters are definitely GEJs

I was in Kano for a project & fell into the hand KAROTA (Kano state traffic authority) who caught me making call in traffic, they charged me 25k for it.
my observation is that people may vote for PDP in Governorship election but they will definitely vote for APC in presidential election.

I stand to be corrected.

I am definitely voting 4 GMB!

Alphaoscar:
Sir, you must finish this story by educating us the no of votes scored by the Great Zik.

Sorry bro, you are most likely to appreciate it if you find the answer by your little effort, that's why I left it blank deliberately.

In fact, your iddioticness nor get measurement. PDP dey there, PDP governor name dey there, PDP rally name there, GEJ na head of PDP. It means both governor for the party, the party supporters and the head head, GEJ na same? Ok, to you, when the preaidential election comes, the Kano people go vote for Buhari. Wrong. The governor would have decamped to apc if that is your take and thinking.

Nice speech coming from an APC supporter...even your APC Governorship candidate can't pull this much crowd. GEJ becomes President before Abachas son becomes Governor. .that's if you even understand what I'm saying. Watching your scanty rally going on in Makurdi now..kikiikiiikiii

zegbeye:
Yeye APCshit!...When the crowd in Lagos APC rally was less than expected,the APC foot soldiers defended it as being just a Governoship rally and now that there is a massive turn out in the state governorship rally in Kano,this same shameless people want us to believe it is because the rally is a governoship rally

Louislewis:
Can you people see crowd? A reasonable northern should count back and judge the achievement of their pasted leaders and compare with what they have been favoured with under this dispensation. Troubles in the north is never Jonathan's making, but, their brothers and sisters in politics, their brothers and sisters that have governed them; their brothers and sisters that are religious extremists. The power to stop whatever that is befalling them now, is within them if they believe and stand for the truth.

A reasonable person without sentiment and selfish aim should be able to ask himself or herself a question ever he or she was born, if he or she has seen...


* any school built in his name.
* any borehole constructed by him.
* Is there any record of scholarship awarded by him or for him nor through him.

* No single text book has been donated to any school either by him, for him or through him.

Ask your self this, if all these massive crowd that all of you sort out and glorify has jobs, do you think that they will be at a campaign rally at 11am in the morning?
If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolly turn up today in your neighbourhood, will go and watch them or not irrespective of whether you are a fan of their acting or their person? especially when you have every time in the world because you are unemployed?

These politicians are the celebrities in Nigeria peculiar way. Many people apart from those in uniform clothings who are paid to be there only came to see the people they normally see on TV, their tormentors.
Some will go home full of envy of the lifestyle of those they saw and become ever more determined to vote against them or remain at home on the election day.
Crowd at a campaign in Nigeria is down to high rate of unemployment, nothing to do, a free show, possibly something to eat or drink and some cases free T shirts, Wrapper and money may materialize.

I have never seen you ask this question when APC shows their massive crowd..

Where is kwakwanso when you need him. We Sidon de look?

@Louislewis. Pls can you stop spamming every thread with this same long cut and paste. Am sure you must at least has something to say by yourself.

You should say this whenever APC are flaunting the crowd at their rallies.
I can see you no longer bother hiding your bias.

Na this crowd go vote. . . or na INEC go vote?
How many bags of rice and bottles of 'kai-kai' GEJ carry go dia?

ASL33:
I have never seen you ask this question when APC shows their massive crowd..

Now you have.
Maybe you had been selective on what you want to see in the past, that why you never seen me ask such in the past.
I had the time to reply you now because am retired, so got all the time in the world on my hand. What is your excuse? It's 1.30pm.

They never know

I have taken time to go through that guys post, unfortunately he has succeeded in convincing people here to beleive all the stories he has been telling them. The town he claims in Orlu happens to be my town which is his NL name. Again he claims to live in London which is where I live. The family he claims although he has not mentioned them by name is a family I know too well. That guy is a fraud. Don't take him serious.

...there is no cause for alarm, this same crowd will stii be there when APC train arives..nor be money them de collect there?

Collynzo9:

Go and check my comments on the day APC was in Port Harcourt and Owerri in particular, you may have noticed that I have no time to support any Nigeria politician or party.
What I don't like is when they tell a blatant lies, I have to respond irrespective of the party but unfortunately PDP and clueless Jonathan had been running childish campaign, hence I tend to hammer them more than APC.
All my family are almost in PDP including a two time governor, a former Senator and a current Assembly member. It's not about party for me, unlike some of you. I say my mind because I got nothing at stake or anything to lose.

okeybig:
Massive turnout and this will send a serious message to kwakwanso and his cohorts who thought that kano state is apc private property

poor soul see the kind of TV u r still using in this 21st century!

and u r still shouting GEJ till 2019! by the time he rules till 2019 u will be living under the bridge!

pls pm me and text me ur account number (if u have any) so i can send u money to buy a TV! i mean real TV!


I mean it - am not joking!

ozeonline1:
...there is no cause for alarm, this same crowd will stii be there when APC train arives..nor be money them de collect there?

Exactly. The PDP rally in Uyo this morning had most people with numbers printed on their T shirts, that tells you all you need to know about campaign crowd.
When you arrive, make sure you number is identified and marked that you did come or .....

All these "crowds", whether PDP, or APC, na wah. It's just to say Nigerians like amibooooor very well. Still these crowds can't organize themselves after how many years, to rid themselves of a corrupt government since summer of 1966

Hmm... Yes, pdp get supporters in Kano-my state hence, GEJ. Yes, wheneva GEJ comes Kano for campaign he can gather more crowd than this! But what skipped OP's brain is, that KANO IS THE MOST POPULOUS STATE IN NIGERIA. True Or False?

Massive crowd.....however PDP supporters will be deceiving themselves if they think these people are in that arena for GEJ..

I had never told anyone including you where I come from in Orlu, unless you dreamt it. The last time someone asked me if am from Eziachi, I said am not, but I used it because my best friend at Bishop Shanahan College in 60s came from Eziachi, we both enrolled into the Biafra army the same day, fought in the same unit in Ogoja, where he lost his life. That where the name came from. So I don't know where you got your ideas from.

I had a weekend flat in London and don't live in London for the past 25 years.

I had never either tell you my family name or anything close to it and you will never know because Nairaland to me is a forum. That's it. So I don't know where you got your ideas from.
