What spreadsheet are you using?

tonididdy:
1.6m PVc
But only 500,000 turn up to vote.



I think voting should be enforced. Many persons collected their pvc just to open bank accounts.
Na we be our own problem

Australia has mandatory voting.

Don't vote there, the law will come for thee.

Nigeria needs that kind of law

Mr Symington is the son of a very distinguished American politician.

Unlike his pa, he is a career diplomat

And Jesus couldn’t safe him? Nawa oo

Jesus allowed it so that people will cry and in their crying vote for local leaders who would enforce strict building codes..

Kpene:
Obi: Alhaji it's me. You have not been picking calls. Alhaji you are busy abi?

Atiku: Obi I have been on the phone some American diplomats. They want to know what happened.

Obi: Oga, how far with the North na... I don't like what I am hearing. I thought you ....

Atiku: Obi we are doing well. We are not doing badly. we shall win Insha Allah!

Obi: Oga, I have delivered the southeast. I have done my part. I told you.....

Atiku : Well done Obi. But you know your zone is buttered bread. It is not like this my zone where I have to confront this man whom they see as a god .

Obi : Oga did you say buttered bread? Buttered by you? Oga you see my people say....... after a race the miles are counted. Oga I told you we were wasting useful time and money in Dubai. I told you ...... Everyday... blueprint.. blueprint... blueprint!

Atiku : Obi what are you insinuating? Haba! These elections are not over. The prophetess said I would win. I trust her. Bishop of Winning told me same thing ......I trust them. Apostle also told me I will win. ........

Obi: Alhaji, so did they tell you you would lose Yobe and Borno woefully? Alhaji I don't know why you made me enter this trouble.....

Atiku : What trouble is that? I made you my running mate. Other people wanted it. you should be grateful. Did I collect Kobo from you?

Obi: Alhaji I am a businessman. If you knew you weren't ready you should have told me. Didnt you tell me you will win Adamawa easily. That every worker there is your employee? So why are you struggling to even win your state? Its embarrassing Alhaji. Where are your workers Alhaji?

Atiku: Obi look Obasanjo is calling me. The last time he called me he was shouting on me on the phone. I don't want to take his calls again. That is a man wh couldn't even win his local govt area for me talking to me like his houseboy. Was I supposed to rig the elections?

Obi: Alhaji I warned you about all these people. Look at that bigheaded one from Kwara who didnt allow anyone come near campaign funds. These are the people you relied on Alhaji. A man who couldn't even retain a senatorial zone his family has possessed for 40 years.

Atiku: Obi honestly I am shocked. Wallahi.....

Obi: Alhaji beg no vex oo. What happened to all that our crowd in Kano? I told you when you guys were kwankwasying up and down. I told you not to trust these people with red caps. They were the people that told you to keep me out of the north. Now what did they do for you?

Atiku: Obi wallah you are right...

Obi: Alhaji I don't know what to do know oo. I am a businessman. I don't want these people to put their eyes into my business oo. Please call Bishop Hassan Kukah and General Abdusalam. Tell them to take us to the Villa. So we can tell this man it was all politics and he may forgive. ......Let us go and congratulate him ooo

Atiku: Obi! It's too early na. We must keep hope alive

Obi: Which hope?... Hope from northeast or hope from Kano and Kwara? .........

Alhaji if you wont do it, n'aha Chineke, I will call Buhari myself and congratulate him. I cant come and sink with you. I am still young oo.

Very funny, but hope still dey. PDP did do well in the SW

tossie101:
Atiku fluffed, he is slow
all forces were against GEJ, he could have won if all the people who is backing Atiku now backed him then

Atiku disappointed me, he watched election got rigged under his nose.. By his brother

GEJ could have won if he and the PDP had put the party branches in Nassarawa, Plateau and Benue in order.

Then there were states like Kogi and Benue that were sure bankers for PDP then...but went to APC because their governors were not doing well...(not that that their succesors are doing better...see Bello of Kogi).

Also, there was the siege mentality in the camp...then incidents like the phone call a certain Tambuwal got from a certain someone in 2012.....

DuxofMen:
Civil servants don't like Buhari's government because he's not allowing them to steal. They blocked all the avenues for stealing in the civil service. Not an unexpected result.

Abuja is a civil service town. TSA has made things more difficult. No money for extra fun. Of course....

But personally, I don't think that's the whole story. The PDP senator representing Abuja is very popular for example...and has been there for a while. PDP is on ground in most parts of the FCT. And the FCT is in the middle belt....

introvertme:
This explains why buhari even has a chance , after plenty talk online nobody go show when it's time to vote.

SS

Exactly

I'm hearing voter turnout in SE ,SS was low.If it had been higher...if all their accredited voters had turned out...Atiku might have had a bigger chance.

Okuda:
nitel was and ha been of no relevance in nigeria since the advent of GSM. selling it or not, they were basically not doing anything. continie with your lies. only you Atiku come this world for he first pursue yoyr papa npw na you he come for...iranu

The person you quoted is right.

I remember back when GEJ was privatising the DISCOS.

PHCN workers were holding daily prayer meetings against the thing. And yet at the end of the day,most of them lost their jobs.

I'm not surprised NNPC workers voted against Atiku. NNPC sold...a good idea by the way...means job losses. THat's part of the reason why so many Nigerians don't want NNPC sold.

jayloms:
The level of insensitivity some of you lots display here leaves one totally amazed. It's quite pitiful that a lot of those who have suffered directly or indirectly from this administration lacks the electoral power to sack them from office. If you must be partisan, at least do so with some level of sensitivity to the plight of others who, for them, this could mean life or death.

Even if Atiku won...so long as oil prices don't rise above $140..that's the magic number...the economy would still be bad.

In January 2015...Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, was already prediciting and prophesiying that the economy was in a bad way...whoever won. By then, oil had been dropping for 7 months.

Yes, Buhari should have appointed cabinet ministers, and yes, he should have hit the ground running. But even if Buhari had appointed ministers the second he took the oath of office, nothing would have changed.

And if oil prices had gone up under Buhari...yes, things would have been better, but that does not make our economy good.

Our economy runs on whatever the price of oil is. And we are producing oyel for 200million people (compared to Saudi that produces 5 times more our output and has 20million people...that's why they can live the good life).

Where Buhari erred was that he kept on wasting money on things like subsidy, trader moni, etc. Then he did not set up a sovereign investment fund for all the savings we were doing (the Saudis learned that lesson after their economy lost $150bn in one year...without corruption, stealing etc...)And he should have sat down, told Nigerians the truth that we are a poor country, and also he should have cut excess in the National Assembly and civil service.And he was not aggressive in taking loans for power....and for heaven's sake...forcing DISCOS to charge for power below production cost? No wonder we don't have light.

And Atiku wont have made things better. Apart from selling NNPC, he had zero to offer Nigerians except some vague promise of 'jobs' And he was even planning to spend far more on subsidy....which would have drained our reserves.And let's be frank...PDP is responsible for the mess we are in. GEJ threw away billions he should have saved...not that things would have been better...but if he had saved, we would have had a better buffer. And you want to vote those people again?(And how can you shout , rightly...at Gandollar, Amaechi, Tinubu...who most definetly has some issues...but we cannot prove it.....but keep quiet about Atiku's pending issue in the USA...)

Anyway....as I write...it is early days. Atiku or Bubu might win. But whoever wins...Nigeria is in trobule. And the blame goes not to the parties but to people who laugh at candidates like Sowore, Moghalu.,Onasanya, etc...and go and vote for old men and women of all tribes who have nothing new to offer...except N100 for our hungry bellies. That is taken from our own pockets.

Victorious1000:
Mahmoud is not fit to be the chairman of INEC

Why does he need 3 days to collate results

I believe prof Jega announced the presidential results of 2015 in just one day

No, Jega started collation on Monday, continued on Tuesday.

Mosesm:
Wrong! How many parties can filed candidates in US and UK? Do t they practice democracy there?

US and UK too have a large number of smaller parties...

US
Libertarian party.
Reform Party
Green Party (environmentalists).

In the US, however, whether you appear on the ballot is largely determined in most places by the States).

UK

Liberal Democrats
UK Independent Party
British National Party
Loony party.
Scottish National Party
Plaid Cymru
(UK runs a parliamentary system...where the Party with the highest number of seats in Parliament selects their Party leader as Prime Minister...who is then invited by HM the Queen to form a government.

And some of those smaller parties cannot be written off. If there had been a change in the system of doing things in the last election...UKIP could have been the second largest party in the UK parliament. Honest)

And don't get me started on Germany that has about 20 other parties apart from the CDU, SPD, Die Linke. France is another one.

neezar:
Omo Inec should scrap all these mushroom political parties

What's YES party??

Seun work on your server please

Actually, back in 1999, INEC won't register any party that did not have representation/offices in all the 36 states and Abuja....that's how we got PDP, APP(now APC) and AD (now APC).

But the late SAN, SAM Gani Fawehimni went to the Supreme court and got a ruling forcing INEC to throw out the 'have representation in all states criteria on the grounds that it was not in the constitution (Uncle Gani had been trying to get his party NCP registered and INEC had turned him down)

So, as a result, by 2003...we had 50 parties. It's gone downhill from there.

hucienda:
SE & SS cannot do it all.

If trends continue like this, APC don win. The north won it for Buhari. No help from the south - SW virtually cancelled itself out, SE & SS not enough to surmount the numbers from the NE & NW.

The conscious effort at militarization, voter suppression et al makes this election one of - if not - the worst election in the country's history. But hey, who cares?

In 2023, the only way the PDP will reclaim Aso Rock would be for it to re-present another northerner.

2023 is the year of the South.

I expect a big fight between the SW and the SE over who gets the top job.

I doubt any Northerner is coming in 2023. That's why Atiku ran now...and did not wait another 4 years. This was his final chance.

Buhari has won this election

I said that he who wins the Middle Belt, wins the election. Nassarawa was my 'red line'. And it looks like Bubu won there.

Unless Kogi, Plateau and Benue and Taraba can do something for PDP (I expect PDP to take those states...). APC is guaranteed another 4 years.


Anyways....I know that we Nigerians better start putting pressure on our leaders, instead of doing follow follow...because, let's be frank...PDP and APC are not the answer.

Kingsley10000:
ATIKU will win


who wan bet?

make we send lalasticala 50k each,anybody wey win go pocket 100k

So you want us to dash Lala our hard earned money?

Remember that he just has new addition to his house....

hansomb:
President Buhari wins Nasarawa with eight LGAs, Atiku Abubakar clears five

Buhari has won the election. Nassarawa is where it is at.

Honestly, I don't believe this....

Okay....

We are gonna miss many clowns in this coming senate; no dancing clown, no monkey on the mango tree, no caged donkey

Rumor has it that Igodomigido is coming back....

dhuthraki:
This is an interesting one

If you have lived or visited the Zaria area...that zone is an APC zone.

There are PDP supporters, but they are not good enough numberwise.

Ehiscotch:
But she lost for being honest and speaking the truth about what is going on.

The PDP is really a chop I chop party; no progress no infrastructure; just share the money and let everybody eat till there is no money to share.

Actually, both parties are chop I chop parties...PDP and APC.

In a way, it is the reflection of what the followership wants. See how Saraki and Sowore were blocked and asked for 'something small'.

He has been elected

What of Zaria

Sabon Gari covers a large part of Zaria metro area.

Jayson1:
Is this Kaduna North?

Mixed....Sabon Gari is in the northern part of the state (essentially the LG that covers most parts of Zaria city to the west of the ancient Zaria city, while Zangon Kataf is in the South...to give an example.

KubwaBoy:
Seun, Lalasticlala, Myndd44, Dominique............ Please give us election result updates instead of roads and aircrafts that have been hitting the front page since

INEC has said that updates come tomorrow.

So till then

Oblongata:
That was the beginning of flights in Nigeria. .. many decades later the country can't even boast of an airline.

Because Nigerians want cheap airline.

One of the things that wrecked Nigeria airways was the refusal of many Nigerians to pay excess luggage costs.

Am sure if we set up an airline, people will insist on flying at 10000 per flight because we are an oil rich nation.And when the airline fails, ..

ezkimow:
So who should they pray for?
BTW are you righteous?

You are looking for someone who will make you comfortable. You are not looking for God.

Look for God, and all else would be added

On channels a few minutes

It was to be expected.

The thing is...if we had gone ahead and spent money introducing electronic voting...results would have been out by now.

But such is life.

We could have had an electronic voting system...similar to what has been used in the past for national ID system among other things....

Mizwisdom:
It's obvious Atiku has won but these riggers won't announce it. God will prrvsil. All Christians must do all night today, we dhwll prevwul

No Christian should be praying for the success of PDP...or APC.

Christians instead should be asking why we Christians ,since this democracy started....have not made a difference.

Christians have been corrupt, have been stealing, have been supporting bad things, and all our Christian leaders have not been Christlike in their leadership.

And you want us to replace one form of corruption with another one.

We Christians are the reason why Nigeria is in a mess. We want to be comfortable. We don't want to be righteous. So, praying for a corrupt Atiku to win is just as bad as hoping a Buhari would win.

Time we stood for righteousness...or God will keep on allowing things like economic hardship and crisis to disturb us until we repent.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
Matthew 5 vs 13

See you at eleven am tomorrow...

SMH

As I saidupthread….we could have had electronic voting in 2006. Some guy from india came to the National Asembly with a simple system that had been used in Brazil and Venezuela, and was not that expensive.

And our National Assembly rejected the system.

Of course...some Nigerians too would be suspicious of the system....it could be hacked...but at the same time...we know results fast.

I wished I could see Seun's face right now

Seun is already allocating some millions for the Bentley, another few millions for the Rolls, another few millions for the Learjet,and some more millions for the Lekki and Banana Island mansion projects...plus the one for Abuja...
