And you say your boycott was a success? .

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

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.

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

When has boycott become stopping an election from taking place ?

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

gidgiddy:
I was an APGA supporter before I became an IPOB suppporter. I said it here severally that I will be happy if 70% of my fellow Anambarians boycotted this election and my people did not diappoint.

The story across the board is the very low turnout of voters, a good indication that people massively boycotted this election. The boycott would have been even more successful had Nnamdi Kanu had time to campaign more in Anambra for election boycott before the authorities abducted him.

The rest of the figures we see is nothing but extensive "vote buying" and manupulation that produced the result where APGA can defeat the rest in all the 21 Local Govts. The entire election was monetised, even some who had planned to boycott elections started looking for their voters card when they heard that N5000 was being shared.

Im satisfied with the extent of the boycott, it was even higher than the 70% I hoped for.

Yyeske:
The same way you are obsessed with it, if not you wouldn't be commenting here

Yyeske:
War? Ndi Anambra proved that IPOB has no effect on their lives even after they were threatened with death, they still came out and told IPOB to go f..k themselves

denko:
Card reader my ass go and ask the function of the incident form. Don't post what do have much knowledge on. Thank you anyway.

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

oliviablog:

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

RETIREDMUMU:

falcon01:

Explorers:
Arresting a lot of people does not make you the best police force, having the least amount of crime makes you the best.

Jeezuzpick:
Agreed.

And It would be wonderful if it was an Igbo man who succeeded where others have failed.

Get this: I am Yoruba and it matters not who became president. As long as he/she gets the job done.

I was just yesterday telling a coworker, a Fulani man, that I think it would've been better had Orji Uzor Kalu had been Yar'adua's running mate instead of the Otuoke genius.

My opinion, though.

Jeezuzpick:
Guy,

It's not about Igbos supporting one of their own, but who appeals to other tribes as well.

If Igbos can put forward one candidate and do some maneuvering and alliance forming, they can actually produce a president.

The problem is that, unfortunately, Igbos will find it very hard, if not impossible to agree on one candidate they will all support unreservedly and peddle to other tribes including the Yoruba (yes, we Afonjas who you hate so much).

If all Nigeria agree to vote only for an Igbo, 1000 candidates will show up and each will believe he must be the chosen one. None will back down.

Here is the problem with Igbo presidency.
