Some unfortunate that some animals don't know the meaning of boycott.

When has boycott become stopping an election from taking place ?

gidgiddy:


If you going to go back in history, go further back to when Ojukwu fought for the presidency.

The number of votes Ojukwu got for APGA in Anambra alone is twice what all the 37 parties in the just concluded elections got. More than a million Anambarians came out to vote. Personally, I dont think up to 100,000 people came out to vote in the last elections, the rest were just 'monetised politics'

The boycott was a big success and low voter turnout is the main proof, not the result sheet. Anyone can manipulate result sheets but the near empty polling boots we all saw do not lie. The Anambra elections is a good start.

Im all for a total boycott of elections in the SS/SE 2019. Something has to change in this country and it wont change by voting.

I am so sure that Buhari will not get up to 10000 votes in the East in 2019.

Oga leave story.


BEFORE BOYCOTT:
Total Votes Cast in 2013: [/b]442,242[b]
Total registered Voters 1,770,127

AFTER BOYCOTT:
Total Votes Cast in 2017: [/b]448,771[b]
Total Registered Voters 2,158,171

And you say your boycott was a success? .

tk4rd:
You support Boycotting of election too.??

tk4rd:
Boycotting of election is not the best option..
It is suicidal..
In the 2011 election, Anambra state gave Jonathan more that 1m votes.
In 2015, it was far less than 400 thousand votes.. And Buhari won, and that was just that.
Now, you want a repeat of 2015.??
Or you were thinking the Igbos really voted in the presidential election in 2015.??
It was boycotted.. They opened their shops and minded their businesses,, after-all, the candidates were all clueless..
And here we are.. We are all suffering it now..
And you guys are here talking about another boycott.??

HiddenShadow:


Yes I support boycotting of elections until we have human beings in power.

Yyeske:
That was the most important factor which was proved on the 18th of November

eduj:

yes the boycott rate was high, but I don't see the gain to we igbos if it happens come 2019.After all, it was low voters turnout in the SE that enabled buhari to win

Yyeske:
Continue consoling yourself, you were among those who said there won't be election and Anambrarians will boycott it, now ndi Anambra came out in large numbers, you've started talking of percentage.
You should be bowing your head in shame this moment, most of your comrades are already deactivating their accounts but you are still here with no shame.

Cyynthialove:

so population don't increase abi ?

we re talking of 4 years ago ooo, u re still on almost d same figure. Smh

tk4rd:

BEFORE BOYCOTT: 24.98%

AFTER BOYCOTT: 20.79%

Nigeria does not work as a nation, no matter who is power. Even if the president or Governor is from your village, you will still be in a Nigeria where nothing works and there is no progress. How the Hausa see Nigeria is not how the Igbo man sees the country nor how the Yoruba man sees it. We are all too different and all we have done since 1960 is to fight each other. We have had 57 years to test-drive Nigeria and it has been a disaster. Others we started off with such as indonasia, Singapore and Malaysia have all leaped far ahead of us, we are still at the stage of looking for who will give us water, light, good road and federal appointments.

The only thing keeping Nigeria together is Oil. If it were not for it, this country would have broken up long ago.

All the voting our parents and Grandparents did, where did it get them? Where is getting the present generation? No point.


So anyone who wants to have control over their destiny and better their situation has to opt out of Nigeria and one way to emphasize that is to stop participating in the electoral process of Nigeria.


Personally, I think that Igbos can do a far better job of managing and developing Igbo land if they get their own separate country. Nothing in Nigeria ever progresses

4% difference? That's all the threats could achieve? Anyway congratulations on your 4% boycott. So now that you have successfully encouraged 4% more of the population to boycott elections, Biafra must have been declared by now. Because I recall them telling you on your radio that "the world" is just waiting for you to boycott elections and they will grant you Biafra

Una mumu nor dey do?

tk4rd:
Think about what you just wrote above..
You mean you would sit at home, and the bad ones would go out there and vote in their mates.??
And yet, you would still be at home, and be waiting for the bad ones to vote the good ones in.??
If that is the case, then, prepare to wait till forever..
The Good ones will always suffer loss in all the elections, just because people like you were at home waiting for the bad ones to vote them in.
...
Think about this again.
Don't be brainwashed please.

5) ipob is inconsequential in real Igbo affairs and their influence is grossly over estimated

with only 20% of
registered voters voting, you still say ipob is inconsequential. The joke is on you.

So the most important factor for you was Ipob and not beating APC with all their federal might? ���

I keep asking again and again..
Will the practice of "not participating in the electoral process of Nigeria" opt the Igbos out of Nigeria.??
Are there no better ways of passing this message across.??
...
I want to know if the best way of passing a message across to someone who is oppressing you, is by staying indoors and waiting on him to notice you like as if he ever cared.
