Nigerians vote on
Saturday in what looks set to be
the first genuine electoral contest
since the end of military rule in
1999, one in which an opposition
aspirant has a fighting chance of unseating the incumbent President
Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan, seeking a second elected
term, faces former military ruler
and main opposition candidate
Muhammadu Buhari in a tense race
with an electorate divided along
ethnic, regional and in some cases sectarian lines.

A fair, credible and peaceful poll
would be a new chapter in the
often troubled history of Africa's
most populous nation, biggest
economy and top oil producer, a
past blighted by graft, secessionist movements, military coups and in
the last six years an Islamist Boko
Haram insurgency that has killed
thousands.

Buhari's top selling point is a belief
that he didn't steal during his
1983-85 presidency. Jonathan's
administration has been beset by
multibillion dollar oil corruption
scandals. Buhari's reputation as an army
strongman plays well with voters
critical of the government's failure
to protect civilians from Boko
Haram, highlighted when they
kidnapped over 200 school girls in April last year. The sect has been
routed in the past six weeks,
though it isn't clear if that will help
Jonathan win.

But as always in this nation of 170
million people, ethnic and regional
sentiments remain paramount.
Buhari is hugely popular in the
north, Jonathan, in the south and
east. That could leave the mostly ethnic
Yoruba but religiously mixed
southwest, centered around the
commercial capital Lagos, the
kingmakers. They voted for
Jonathan last time but since then Yoruba elites have rallied
decisively around Buhari.

This will be a credible election just like 2011 election

Power left in the trust of compassionate, merciful and legendarily reserved men is an ageless caution adhered to only by brave conscientious men...... I choose he who has reined his aggressive instincts in the most.

Let us all go out to exercise our franchise, come back home, and pray.


God Bless The King...

God Bless Nigeria...

God Bless You,
You, You & I.

2011 episode was the first contested presidential election.
The issue this time is that there is a greater tendency for violent outbursts than the previous (unexpected) one, as an aftermath of the bloody incidents and immoral campaign strategies employed by the contestants.

What made 2011 credible?When Amaechi ,Akpabio,Uduaghan ,Theodore orji,peter obi,their cohorts and south south militants were busy allocating votes to GEJ!
Why do u pple even feel Amaechi despite all travails with GEJ always sounds very confident about an APC triumph, curiously in rivers too where people think it wud a walkover for GEJ? Its simply because he knows how d almost 2m votes were procured for GEJ in 2011 and can circumvent same this time around.

I don't know what you're talking about. I need credible evidence: recordings, pictures, videos, anything at all to suggest that your claim is true.
If none exists however, I don't do hearsays, sorry.
