Nice attempt.

Few points:

(1) Bola Ige said the Yorubas are about 50 years more educationally advanced than the rest of the country. This plays a part in the level of "awareness" and lack of ignorance. What am I trying to say, The yorubas are SMART and will ask themselves WHO IS THE RIGHT CANDIDATE! So I insist that they will not follow one party like a bunch of sheep led to slaughter. They will think for themselves. So your party analyses falls apart when you assume because Accord, SPD or LP say so. . lol

(2) Unfortunately Ethnicity and "What has he done for us" still plays a part in Nigerian politics. I say "unfortunately" because the choice of a leader should not be about what he did for ME but what he did for us. That said, most Nigerians still feel that way. Bros, go to the streets and feel the pulse. THE YORUBAS feel very SHORTCHANGED by the GEj Admin. You ca take that to the bank!! And they intend to reciprocate in the elections. . which takes me to point (3)

(3) The Osibanjo effect. This is one of the reasons why Amaechi or Oshiomole did not emerge as VP. Of course the main reason is that Tinubu who is the brain behind ACN and the APC merger had to have a "stake". But because they knew they needed a yoruba vote, they made sure the VP is a YORUBA man! You don't seem to consider this in your analyses. The OUR SON effect (Which GEJ is banking on in Rivers/Delta/Bayelsa) is going to work for Osibanjo, at least to an extent.

(4) The last point I will raise is the OPC/AFENIFERE angle! Wait let me laugh. .

This is where you ruined your analyses!!!

The influence of OPC?? Afenifere?!!! Bwahahahahaahah!!

In fact, I won't say much on this except, have you seen the OUTRAGE that has met the current VANDALISATION/PROTESTS of the OPC in Lagos!!! I personally know over 50 people who have switched sides simply because of this action!! Big mistake to think the HATED OPC will get GEj any votes. Wait let me laugh again. .

The problem with APC supporters is that you guys hate truth because your party thrives on lies and propaganda. Did you just say OPC and Afenifere have no influence in SW? Wait till 28th of March.

Again you said you know 50 people who have switched because of OPC vandalism, what a big lie from you. Well, I also know many people who will never vote anything APC in SW because of their violent and "agberoism" especially in Lagos.

Mind you, I'm Yoruba(Balogun) is my surname. I, my wife, Igbo neighbours, many relatives, many friends, most of my church members are voting GEJ. I reside in Satelite lagos. I agree more with the OP. GEJ will win SW come 28th of March. Enjoy your propaganda, lies and self deciet while it last.

Just watched Patience Women rally in Edo as three princes who were hitherto in the APC decamped to PDP. More boost to GEJ, thanks to the postponement.

Labour party also had a massive rally for GEJ today in Abuja. Ride on GEJ.

Jesusloveyou:
u are dreaming,so u are depending on aliyu to deliver niger for gej,even if aliyu and ibb are contesting with buhari,they wil stil lose,d same way pdp and shekerau of anpp loss to buhari in 2011,no body in d north can deliver his state for gej,even mu'azu cannot win his local govt.

GEJ does not need to win in all Northen states, he only need at least 30% in core North. He won Adamawa before and will win it again. Northern elders have backed out on Buhari, only some over zealous South West youths under Tinubu's spell are bent on following him to failure.

Like Aliyu said, If North had presented Kwakwaso it would have been better. They know Buhari can not survive 8yrs.

Tinubu and his stooge Osibanjo are on their own now. Thought Oyegun said 5 PDP governors will join them before 14th of March, bunch of liars.

Buhari and APC can have Nairaland, twitter, facebook and bill board victory, come March 28th the real winner GEJ will emerge.

Aliyu is one of the brightest politician in Nigeria. He will deliver his state to PDP, quote me anytime.

Morethan ever before victory is sure for GEJ. A lot has happened in his favour since the postponement. Truly, he is God's anointed.

Only fools will believe this gibberish. A sitting president whose chances of being re-elected is good will propose Interim govt and then propose 200b to Tinubu to become VP is so absurd.

Tinubu and APC are never in want of lies. Each week with new lies. A party built on lies is bound to fail.

Fayose stated the obvious. Tinubu and Ameachi can continue their social medial propaganda while GEJ engage in grass root politics.

Northen elders have already abandoned Buhari. Have you heard anything from them in a long while?

APC may win Lagos but Rivers is surely for PDP. When GEJ wins Jimi's campaign will gain huge momentum as GEJ will come to Lagos to campaign seriously for him. I can see Ameachi and Tinubu crying already.

dustmalik:
If this is indeed true, then Fashola would be right to blame GEJ for the robbery, taken into consideration that the redeployment of Police personnel because of GEJ's visit was most likely the reason why the bank robbery was successful. The bank robbers knew that GEJ's visit would make it easy for them.

What a foolish reasoning. GEJ has been visiting Lagos since he became president, when he came to campaign with other PDP governors, senators and other v.I.ps that requires huge security how come aremed robbers didn't take advantage of that. His visit on Thursday was a low key visit to the Stock Exchange. SS and military are all he needs. Note, the president is not protected by police but SS and Military.

Fashola is loosing his common sense everyday due to his Tinubu's to loot.

PassingShot:
Jonathan the incompetent leader at it again. under him, Nigeria has rewarded criminals more than any other president in our nation's history.

Should we allow Jonathan to continue for another four years, more nonentities like Tompolo, Asari, Gani Adams, etc. will spring up and lord their wishes over us. Soon, living in the jungle will be better than living in Nigeria where political thugs, militants and touts will determine how refined, educated and well trained Nigerians live their life.

Give Jonathan another chance of four years at the presidency and watch how all government institutions collapse. Give him another chance and see how militancy is applauded and rewarded at the detriment of entrepreneurship and sound education. Allow him another tenure and see how God-fatherism determines who gets a job more than ever in our country.

GEJ is everything that can be wrong in any human being.

Shut up your moth there. If the story is true, are the beneficiaries not Nigerians?
Contracts in Lagos are awarded to Tinubu and his croonies, why are you not crying about that.

How come nobody is complaing about Northerners owning over 80% of oil blocks and wells in the Niger Delta.

In Nigeria politics, the party in power awards contracts to its supporters.

I just watched the chairman of Labour party, the 4th largest party in Nigeria as he declared the adoption of GEJ as the party candidate. I think it's game over for Buhari. So many things have changed since the postponement. Take a look: List of parties who have adopted GEJ.

1. APGA
2.SDP
3.UPN
4.Labour party
5. Accord Party
Etc.
Endorement:
Afenifere and almost all Obas in SouthWest.
OPC
Ohaneze
Tricycle and Motorcycle Operators nation wide.
Market women
PFN
Ijaw nation
Nollywood
Sports Men and women. Their rally was great last Saturday.
Etc.

Boko Haram being decimated.
Patience reaching to women nation wide.
Foriegners with PVCs being arrested.
More APC members decamping to PDP.
More people from GEJ stronghold getting PVCs

GEJ has gained more momentum while GMB hyped campaign has greatly dwindled.

APC and Buhari really pained! Whoever endorse or support GEJ is paid while Buhari supporters are patriots.

CAN/PFN endorse GEJ Ameachi said they got 7billion, no proof. Reason why many christians will vote GEJ. These pastors have influence over millions. Oyedepo, Ayo, Chris, Paul Adefarasin, Catholic, Anglican.

Afenifere and most Obas in South west endorse GEJ. Now you're saying they 750m. Your eyes will clear soon enough by March 28th.

Can APC give us list of major endorsement and adoption by other political parties for GMB? None. They have lies, propaganda on social, print and TVC. Deceiving themselves and the old man.

Of course you have. You promised to commission the Lagos -Badagry express road light rail by 2013, till now half of the work is not yet done. No single state owned train in Lagos after 16years of you and Tinubu ruling.

In Satelite where I live, roads are terrible, no single street light or traffic lights. No drainages in many street. You Fashola is the big liar.

I have lost respect for this Tinubu's stooge. I regretted voting for him in 2011.

It's an obvious fact.

Why didn't Buhari nominate his vice president himself but gave it to Tinubu? He wanted to be the vice in the first place but was rejected. Jonathan did not allow Obasanjo to nominate his vice(Sule Lamido), GEJ beat GMB here.

In 2011, Tinubu and co gave a condition to support Buhari. Guess what the condition was. That Tunde Bakare write a post dated resignatory letter as vice should CPC wins.

I tell you this as a well informed person of Tinubu's antics in Lagos. Nobody occupies sensitive position in Lagos without oath taking.Hence Fashola could not disobey him.

Why did APC make all presidentia apirants sign a document that should they lose they won't leave the party? That's just the base level of the witchcraft in APC. People should be at Liberty to associate and do otherwise but for the OATH OF SECRECY and LOYALTY, the APC members especially in SW will stay put.

Tinubu is evil.

christopher123:
I never knew that we still have some reasonable Yoruba left . I thought tinubu pocketed all. Maybe its because your in satelite town that has large igbo that has influenced you


May lord bless you


A bottle of beer on me

I tell you friend, my decision to vote for GEJ was not influenced by the Igbos around me. There are more Yoruba's on GEJ side now than before. Not all are deceived by the propaganda and social media illusion. In fact, there is a renewed determination to stop the over bearing influence of Tinubu in South West.

Thank you friend, together we'll return GEJ cos he's the best we have among the aspirants.

Fashola thinks everyone in Lagos is Tinubu ass licker. They'll be shocked come March 28th and April 11th. He says GEJ has not performed meanwhile the light rail and ten lanes project on Mile 2 to badagry that he started 7 years ago is not yet completed. He bragged that by June 2013 it will be commissioned, now he's singing a different song.

How come Lagos has not conducted Local Govt election that ought to have been conducted since october?

I live at Buba Marwa road, Ijegun satelites. The road and drainages are terrible.
I'm Yoruba and resident of Lagos, I and my family, neighbours in a block of six flats are voting GEJ and Agbaje. Most of my friends and church members are doing same. Tinubu and Fashola can go ahead with their misfit puppets(Buhari and Ambode).

1toRtoiSe1:
Shame on guardian, shame on PDP.....buhari vindicated.

I hope you and those who liked your comment are well?

Buhari vindicated or you and fellow APC liars should bury your head in shame.

APC is redefining lies, deceit, desperation and violence. Even satan is jealous. Shame !

APC is really pained that most Yoruba monarch are solidly behind GEJ. Why won't they any way. Support Buhari who has contempt for monarch. Remember Buhari embarrassed 2 royal fathers for visiting Isreal without his permission.

If APC believe GEJ's visits to the monarch has no electoral value why are they wasting their time on it.
Meanwhile Buhari is in London meeting with ghosts who will come to Nigeria to vote for him. Does that have electoral value?

Jonathan's performance in 4years dwarfed Obasanjo's performance in 8years. So it's not about performance or non performance but some greedy and selfish fake yoruba leaders(Tinubu and co) fighting for their pocket. The real Yoruba's are for GEJ. Afenifere, Obas, market women and youths are for GEJ. I'm Yoruba, I and my nuclear and extended family are for GEJ.

Lagos/Ibadan express way dualisation is ongoing, OBJ did not do it. Several other multibillion naira road projected completed and ongoing, power plants etcs are there for all to see.

GEJ will win SouthWest come 28th march. Quote me after the election.

Chanchit:
Very funny, you guys just hate anything that sounds like truth. OPC members in the whole of Nigeria, what is even whole, we OPC only exist in SW and they are now defunct, so saying 6m OPC would vote for GEJ is laughable, Gani Adams just wants to get his own share of the 21b. Lest I forget, how many members does Faseun's version of OPC has 12m I guess.

Does it really matter if they are 2000? Fact is that OPC endorsed GEJ and if not all majority will vote GEJ, that's all. It really hurt you guys that the real Yorubas, not some fraud(Tinubu and co) are supporting the best candidate. For your information, even Oba Akin-Olu of Lagos is solidly behind Jonathan though he's supporting Ambode for Lagos.

I put it to you that you are not a member of 0PC. Pls don't lie to your conscience.

yibomustgo:
Gani is talking rubbish. We are not more than 18,000 in number. I am an OPC member and I won't be voting for Jonathan. Most of us won't be voting for Jonathan. Gani is on his own.

What a LIAR you are. You're not OPC member. Tell me your zone, name of your leader, last time you had zonal meeting. I will burst your bubble now.

Any OPC member knows there is TOTAL allegiance to the leaders. Oaths are taken before being empowered. Real OPC don't rebel against leadership.

Chanchit:
Lol! If GEJ get sense, he would know that OPC members in the whole of Nigeria are not more than 6,000.
Word of advice, keep your looted funds for rainy dAys, you are fighting a lost cause.

You're really pained.

Even if they are just 6,000 as you assume, it's a plus for GEJ and a huge minus for your Buhari.

If they had endorsed Buhari you and your lots will shout it on the rooftop, you'll call them patriots. But for abandoning your sick hero they are bribed.

Oh lest I forget, have you watched the video of the rejection and booing of Buhari in company of Amosun by Ogun states youths? Google it.
Come March 28th reality will dawn on you guys. It's not about social media, not by likes and shares on Nairaland.

automaticcars:
[s][/s]

Nonsense from a deranged lunatic.

You're really pained.

LGA elections in Lagos ought to have been conducted since Oct. Have you asked your oga Tinubu about it?

Is the confad report to be dumped in a waste bin?

Why do you APC angry children exhibit your anger even to your former ally? To you people anyone who supports Jonathan is bought but for supporting your Buhari he or she is patriotic.

You guys should be honest and sensible at least once in a while.

Shame on Inec Shame on APC. Thought Inec said it was ready before 14th of Feb and APC crying foul all over. Imagine the millions that would have been disenfranchised and the embarrassment it would caused the nation.

APC does not have the interest of this nation at heart, just bitterness, anger and vengeance. Their evil plans is failing already.

Illegal immigrants with PVC in the North being repatriated.
Boko Haram being dealt with.
More GEJ supporters getting PVC, more endorsement.

Their (APC) stand against the postponement will make them lose more supporters as is happening already.

Aprime:
Oh no, now they are advertising what they've done to the masses...

But you don't have any problem with Fashola and other APC governors spending who will do a project with 100million and spend 500million on media publicity. Access 57 on LTV and TVC. I have a pal who works in a media outfit where APC governors pump in millions monthly for show case.

Yes, the masses need to be aware because the "hatred" for Jonathan is not about non-performance as no previous administration has equaled him.

If you want to criticise be objective, counter the achievements mentioned.

Is Nigeria's economy not the largest in Africa under Gej? Even Osibanjo cannot dispute it.

Do we not have 14 new universities and 127 Almajiri school? Buhari did not build any. Obasanjo built only one in Ogun owned by him.

Has GEJ not restored RAIL system. If you're below 30yrs you probably have not seen or use a train before. Thanks to GEJ, you can now use it.

Is our ROAD better under him or not? Most travelers and transporters know this and will vote massively for GEJ. But for those who do not leave their cities, yes ADVERT is necessary.

Ride on GEJ, those who are with you are so many more than those who are against you.

It's not about social media illusions of APC

Osibanjo should enjoy his one month fame while it last. His children, wife and mother too. Yeye dey smell.

laurentunt:
What About The Muslims, Hausas, traditional Worshippers, Are they Not Going To Vote In this Election

PDP has solid structure across the nation that cuts across religious divides. Koro in Lagos is a muslim and has many supporters. Sule Lamido, Niger state governor, Ribadu, the list is endless.

Wake up my friend, even the US tipped GEJ as likely winner.

itetemi:
dey deceive una sef, which endorsement........................................and still after tearing membership card, they still wan go prostrate for obasanjo.

A man rejected by his own children and wives. He's useless to his family and the nation. In a sane society he should not open his mouth.

He's more of a liability to PDP. A man that could not deliver his ward. He's no more relevant in PDP, the frustration is making behave like maniac.

APC have employed some angry youths to dominate social media, they have some twitter lords on their payroll, Omojuwa, the Ovation man who contested for president under NCP and others on twitter giving them false impression.

Their social media agents have multiple accounts, on Nairaland and others. But when you talk to real people in market places, buses, and on the streets, majority are for Jonathan.

Take for instance:
the national union of Okada and Tricyle endorse GEJ.
Market women endorse GEJ(food stuff is cheaper and always available, you can't lie to them about this. Thanks to Agric reform, train and good road).

Afenifere and OPC endorse GEJ.

Nollywood endorse GEJ.

CAN/PFN endorse GEJ. Oyedepo, Ayo Oritsejafor, Paul Adefarasin have influence over millions of christians.

Ohaneze endorse GEJ, that guarantees 80 Igbo voters for GEJ.

APGA adopt GEJ
SDP adopt GEJ
UPN and others adopt GEJ
21 sitting governors and guber aspirants
Senators and reps, ministers and their aides, advisers and aides
Council of Northen former councellors endorse GEJ
The odds favour GEJ.

Come March 28th, the illusion of social media victory for APC will fade away.

These are incontrovertible facts raised by the writer. OBJ is a frustrated ex-leader beefing GEJ for his sterling performance.

Nigerians, think, think, think. The good works of GEJ are glaring for all to see. Don't be blinded by religious, regional or political hatred. GEJ is the best for now.

26 out of 31 guber candidates in APC are ex-PDP members, lol! What has changed about them, just the name. Who is fooling who?

Nigerian youths should THINK, THINK, THINK. I'm not a PDP fan but will vote and canvass vote for GEJ and Jimi Agbaje. GEJ is miles ahead of GMB in every good way. Education, age, achievements, etc. In Lagos, we need freedom from the over bearing influence of Tinubu and his ganstars.

God bless GEJ, GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

It baffles me that Nigerians and the media still give this big fool attention. I've lost respect for him cos he deserves none. He's the only former head of state talking carelessly, to even think he's a PDP member.

Has he apologize to Gej and Nigerians over the "missing" 50 billion dollars?

What about the 1000 snipers being trained?

He's heating up the polity cos of his ego. He wants to go down as the only Nigerian president to have stayed in Aso rock for 10yrs, Gej is contesting that with him.

If he accuse Gej of corruption he is worse. Jonathan's performance dwarfs everything he Obj did in 8yrs.

Now he's trying to claim hero. Opposition now refer to him as a saint. Smh. APC loves anything and anyone that criticize and potray GEJ bad, shameful.

Obj beef for GEJ cannot stop him from winning. His endorsement for Buhari is useless. Obj that cannot even win his ward, lol.

Come 28th of March, those of us who believe in the transformation agenda of GEJ will vote for him, God willing, he'll win.

egift:
“I believe the President’s fear is particularly motivated by whom he sees as his likely successor, that is, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. I believe people would have been telling him that Buhari is a hard man; he will fight corruption and he (Jonathan) may end up in jail if not in the grave. I think people would have told him that sort of thing and he is not the only one afraid of Buhari.”
- Chief Obasanjo.

Even if you do not like OBJ, one thing you can agree is that he is not afraid of looking truth in the face and speaking frankly.

And where will he Obasanjo be sent to? Obasanjo is the biggest problem of this nation. A useless elder statesman. He talks carelessly. He'll be disappointed come March 28th when Nigerians who still believe in Gej despite all the lies and propaganda coupled with the land mines of Obj fails.

The main problem of Obj is that he wants to remain the only Nigeria to have occupied Aso rock for ten yrs as head of state. Jonathan is the only person contesting that with him now.

Obj has no honor, no shame. Has he apologised for raising false alarm about missing 50 billion dollars? What about his 1000 snipers. He's an idiot that need to keep shut like his daughter Iyabo said.

berem:
PDP and their useless propaganda. How far can they go?

This is not propaganda but how our politicians play with us.

Do you know that Bakare in 2011 was asked to write a post dated resignation letter as one of the conditions before Tinubu and Obasanjo will help Buhari win in South West? I listen to the audio, it was a press conference made by pastor Tunde Bakare himself.

Tinubu is not satisfied with his loot of Lagos wealth, he wants to loot the federal. Why did he abandon Ribadu in 2011? You know he sold out to PDP. Now you know why Ribadu jumped ship.

If the conditions given by Tinubu is not granted he will sell out again.

It's bad politics our Nigerian politicians both APC, PDP and others practice.

I have no doubt about the genuineness of the report. I listen to an audio of press conference of Tunde Bakare's experience in 2011.

Buhari was given a condition by Tinubu, Liar Mohammed and Obasanjo that Bakare should write a post dated resignation letter as a condition for their support so he can be replaced by their person among other conditions.

This Tinubu and co are bad people, they don't mean well for this country.

Collynzo419:
Olusegun Osoba just destroyed his own political career with his eyes wide open. All because of greed

Go to Ogun state, nobody reckons with him anymore and he destroyed his son's political career as well. SDP in Ogun state is as popular as Apga is in Lagos state. From Abeokuta to Ijebu and all across Ogun state- it is Sai Baba- confirma.

The endorsement pain you o. lol.

keep deluding yourself with social media polls. Your eyes will open come 14th of Failbuhari.

drshrewd:
yeah, i agree with this article. GEJ is far more superior to Buhari especially in stealing matters after all stealing is not curruption

And Buhari said, "Abacha is not corrupt, he didn't steal Nigeria's money".
