Nonsense!!! Nobody will pay anyone 250 million dollars to be a body double .. How much does it cost to shoot an a list Hollywood block burster? Instead of us to concentrate on how to send devil Buhari back to Daura see what we are discussing

Ab0ki shut it! Is it by force to share the same country with you people? The Zoo is the only place on earth where Muslims are ready to go to war just to remain in the same country with infidels. It doesn't make sense

OSU outcast spotted. Are you confused or plain ignorant biko

Last time I checked, you are the ones that begged to remain in Northern Nigeria with your Ab0kis after they gave you a quit notice to pack out...

Gallant as ever . Meanwhile face your Bia.fraud headache and take instructions from your brilliant brother...

NonsoWow:
Biafra is getting closer by each passing day. All that Igbos have to do is boycott the 2019 general elections and after 3 months, Israel will send in troops to liberate biafra. I understand that that is the condition that Israel gave to Kanu.

TRUE TALK.

Definitely, not only Bauchi State, but every nook and crannies all over the federation, where hardworking, honest and sane Nigerians live.

Let's go there....... FeBuhari 17th 2019

QuotaSystem:
To put it plainly, apart from Taraba, Benue, Plateau & Nassarawa States, President Muhammadu Buhari is poised to sweep the votes of the remaining 15 northern states, for the following reasons:

1. The "Amana" factor.

A lot of southerners often wonder the basis of the cult-like following PMB commands in the North - the reason is not far fetched.

The Hausa-fulani people in particular, place a huge value on the concept of "Amana" (trust/to hold in trust), a value which Buhari's track record of integrity (whether disputed or not) is clearly aligned with. Despite media propaganda, most of these people who are more politically informed than their average southern counterparts, are aware that not a single charge of corruption has stuck on their revered PMB, amidst corruption allegations among his cronies. Atiku loses massively in this respect because of his track record of corruption (BPE, Haliburton, $16b power scam, unexplained source of wealth etc.) which presents him as an untrustworthy leader to most northerners.

Furthermore, PMB's seemingly north-centric agenda regarding appointments, infrastructure projects (roads, rails, ports) and focus on agriculture assures most northerners that their interests would be well protected under his administration, in contrast to Atiku who is perceived to be likely to make concessions and appeasements to the East whose support he is mostly riding on going by recent trends. Atiku also loses big in this regard.

2. The South Eastern VP Factor

If Atiku gives in to the clamor for his running mate to emerge from the East, then he stands to lose massive votes from the core north for obvious reasons.

Firstly, the deep political antagonism and anti-north stance from Igbos, which has characterized the national space and been amplified since the defeat of Jonathan and rise of IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu and their hate speech, will deeply hurt Atiku's chances because not only will it mean the North would be taking the extreme bigotry, insults and political antagonism from the East right on the chin with no consequences, it would also mean the possibility of an Igbo successor to Atiku - a people known for their contempt for Nigeria's unity and secessionist aspirations.

In addition, a SE VP will also cost Atiku significant SW votes - a sub-region with the second largest number of registered voters (14 million).

3. The Boko Haram Factor

In sharp contrast to the generally held notion among some in the south that Atiku would sweep the NE because it's his home region, the strides recorded by PMB in the fight against Boko Haram heavily neutralizes that effect. I am not talking about social media noise, but the perceptions of people directly affected by Boko Haram activities and are experiencing a gradual return to normalcy since PMB took office.

Yola (Adamawa) for example, Atiku's own home capital, has experienced peace since PMB's onslaught on BH like they never saw since Boko Haram emerged under the past PDP administration - this was formerly a ghost town that used to suffer deadly BH attacks daily with dusk-till-dawn curfews, which has since been lifted and attacks reduced to suicide bombings and guerrilla attacks on soft targets, which are reducing on a monthly basis. This was a state that had several LGA's under Boko Haram's rule during PDP's administration and the people aren't quick to forget the corruption that marred the fight against BH in Dasuki fashion.

Maiduguri is back to it's bustling state with dozens of NGO's providing humanitarian services to help with the ongoing rebuilding efforts, people are now free to watch El-Kanem FC matches in the township stadium, and trans-border economic trade (mostly fish) is gradually being restored. The return of the Chibok and Dapchi girls also adds points to PMB's profile in the sub-region. If by God's grace the FG is able to secure the release of Leah Sharibu then that would be a hat-trick. I personally spoke to a "Kube" (traditional hausa cap) dealer from Borno recently and these were the exact sentiments he expressed as he professed support for Buhari's candidacy.

Final Note

It is very valid to permute that the votes from the 4 excluded northern states (Benue, Plateau, Nassarawa, Taraba) will be shared by both candidates as federal might will play out (both parties will rig anyway). With 19 million registered voters in the North West and 10 million in the North East which are largely homogenic, it is safe to say anyone who loses these key regions has lost the 2019 elections. With another 14 million registered voters in the SW which is APC's stronghold and Atiku's slant towards choosing a SE VP, his campaign team should be very worried.

Note that this is not to say Atiku will not record a sizable number of votes from the Northern States, but the ratio will pale in significance to Buhari's potential landslide victory in the region. - Q.S

gidgiddy:
East Timor was once a part of Indonesia. But East Timorese wanted to be independent of Indonesia. So they boycotted all elections, went on street protests, used civil disobedience, agitation and other means to demand a referendum from the Indonesian assembly. It wasn't easy but eventually, Indonesia didn't see the point of holding people who have shown the want to go their way and granted East Timore a referendum. East Timor voted for independence in the referendum by a majority and in 2002, East Timor became an independent country from Indonesia


The same thing applies with Igbos and Nigeria. If Igbos repeat what East Timor did by boycotting elections, civil disobedience, mass agitation, street protests, a time will come when the National Assembly will grant them a referendum. It will not be easy but it is achievable just like East Timor.

The simple ideology here is that nobody can hold someone against their will forever

Unekwunice:
Jonathan Paid for all those things

Of course he did lol.

Jonathan even paid the contractor extra to ensure the completion is delayed till he is booted out of office right? .

tuniski:
That is a walk over!

PDP Has won that already. Kwara Is now Fully pdp.

highqueen:
Lol, okay.
Thanks.
At emboldened, is it culture or religion? Cos, their Christian counterparts hardly wear this, also, Yoruba Muslim ladies cover their hairs; So, I'm of the opinion that it's more of a religious thing.

Corrinthians:
Why always South West?

My bigoted and hateful heart as a pdp fanatic is deeply saddened by this news.

TheGreenLand:
You even have time replying those wailers.
They only read the headline alone.
Replying thise guys is a waste of time most times bro.

deboysben:
Lol e don happen


Our nairaland zombies have just received a bloody nose blow from their slave master
Some will even desert this thread like a plague

They were happy about Wike without knowing there head are being used.

The truth is Tinubu can't give buhari the full support he received unlike 2015 election. 2019 election go sweet die.

Corrinthians:
Only Bubu's EAR was cloned. Kanu.

Rotflmao!

Then someone supported by saying "igbos are the wisest people blablabla.. ".

WTF!

Corrinthians:
CilicMarin, I doubt you've seen this! Them say na only Bubu ear dem clone.

Please confirm from Mazi Supreme Leader if the zeros in my bank statement can be cloned? Not the whole thing...just the zeros inside

knightsTempler:
It is a fact that no adult human has yet been cloned. BMC deliberately introduced that word CLONE into the mix to confuse issues. Those who started the Jubrin or Jubril of Sudan story surely knows what they want. Get Buhari and his minions rattled, sweating and uncomfortable like someone walking on eggshells. Yes, they are achieving their set goals. President Buhari has gone all the way from Nigeria to Poland to explain to the oyibos that he is not dead o. That he is not a clone o. That he is the real McCoy o. That he is not made in Taiwan or made in Aba. That this Buhari sitting before you is the made in Daura one. Now tell me how else to get your traducer pinned against the wall if not like this?

And to all those pathetic twaddlers who like referring to others as gullible, maybe I should remind you that this is an election period. Anything goes now in Nigeria since your display of crass gullibility in the past four years. In this Nigeria, you guys believe that a former minister returned $90billion dollars to the coffers of government, yet your government keep going all over the world with cap in hand begging for loans to finance projects. Is it not in this same country that a former Central Bank governor alleged that crude worth of Nigeria's four years budget was stolen in one year. Did you not believe and amplified these idiocy? Did you not believe that subsidy is a scam and that it did not exist? Did you not believe in a so called body language in the running of government. Today you still believe in the lie that change begins with you even when your leaders receive the best medicare outside the country while you make out with the sham here. There is no idiocy from this government you consider too demeaning. You are ever ready to lap everything up. How dare you refer to others as gullible for daring to back the president up against the wall in an election year? The joke is on you. Karma is a brutish fucking bitch. Mehn! I'm so having a big laff here.

Lol, is 'pinning to the wall' with an illogical theory for a couple of months worth another 4 years in political wilderness haunted by Python dances and stagnation in infrastructural development? 4 years that is very likely to turn to 12 when the loyal SW takes over in 2023?

So now only an ear can be cloned ? Can't they then clone Atiku and ship him to the U.S so that when he is arrested, the original will still be chilling in Nigeria carrying out his campaign?

This quoted post is exactly why it has been concluded that the main reason easterners (promoters of the daft Jubrin theory) are and will remain political featherweights is because they rely on petty emotions rather than brains in taking political positions

Sai Jubrin till 2023

goshee:
because APC, the dullard and zombies have monopoly of propaganda? the zoo and her animals are funny.

IkennaDavid1:
And I thought some people here were intelligent..

Atiku never said Buhari was cloned neither did he accuse the president of having a body double, he only stated that the presidency should be focused on clearing the air and addressing the issues surrounding the FAKE BUHARI story instead of wasting their time and resources to fight him...

Poor IQ fellows everywhere

CilicMarin:
Bait

Sahara Reporters want to draw out Obasanjo to react...

Sap0:
OMG!

I'm from osun state, I can tell u authoritatively that APC will loose in osun in the presidency.

Sap0:
