You cannot draw conclusions about population based on this unless you refuse to be objective
Look at the number of BVNs

Telephone lines
NIN registration


Low turnout can be explained by apathy

BVN total is 56Million. 40 percent of the Population is Unbanked. lets call that roughly 40 Million. You can see that we have no way to justtify the additional 140 Milliom remaining people to be Children. Especially when see that some children already have BVN/bank accounts calculated in that 56Mil.

We are yet to see alot of totals o, All these people that are declaring themselves Inec chairmen. We are yet to see tallies in the SE, Rivers, Delta, Nassarawa, FCT, Benue, Kaduna, Taraba for the Presidential Election.

Obviously the numbers being showed by daily trust is quite misleading, PO is already at over 500k Alone in Lagos This honestly shouldnt be in the front page,

Make una dey take am easy before you guys create unnecessary tensions.

And interestingly I noticed PO was unable to attain a minimum 25% in all the SW states collated apart from Lagos. Also looking through pictures of Inec sheets from Polling Unit at different Posts, you will barely see pictures from PU in the SW apart from Lagos. So its either massively rigged in the SouthWest or the Yorubas really did Choose to rather Vote Tinubu or Atiku despite all their Noted flaws as opposed to Obi who has a proven history as one of the most prudent Politicians in Subsaharan Africa. This amounts to Showing signs of a very strong Tribal Divide in Southern Nigeria, one that out weighs common sense...I believe this was more of a rigging, Im hoping so.

Another thing to note is even though the election is marred with so much rigging and irregularities, one thing this BVAS has exposed is that we as a country is not as much in population as we claim. So politicians can only rig the elections based on the numbers of people that voted, thats why even with the rigged numbers we are reporting abysmal voting number nationwide. My guess is we are probably about 160Million in Population, our census should be really looked into and our GDP per capita should be increased to reflect this outcome.

I urge everyone who voted to shun violence as a means of protesting the outcome of election, it is obvious that the election was not credible, please do not allow your political emotions and frustrations to cause you to bring chaos to the general public, we are already going through so much as a country. Let the battle be in the courts.

Peter Obi did throw a power punch in the middle of nigerian Politics, its looking different nationwide, unknown people who bought forms for LP all over the country are winning elections, that is a bleeding cut to fist of the so called power holders in nigeria. I also Urge Politicians in the SS and SE to build on the newly exposed inroads PO has shown in communities in North Central and North East, and Parts of the North West. Communities that were usually overshadowed by the name North. I saw a thread of Polling Unit in a community named jerusalem in Borno State, where the Inec officials came without BVAS machine throughout all the wards. The most shocking part of the video for me as a Rivers man I would have never thought that a place was called Jerusalem in Borno.

We are becoming smarter, and knowing our country better. God bless us all and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This mans energy and work ethic is unparalleled.

I am completely emotional watching how this whole thing which was mocked in the beginning has grown to become such an enigma, Obi became the front runner. Obis campaign has exposed so much about the nigerian populace, call us what you want, the good people are still the silent majority in Nigeria. Nigerians just want a politician with a conscience, someone to believe in, in addition to our belief in our God as we struggle for life today and those of our children tomorrow.

As we approach the final days and hours I just want congratulate ALL OBIDIENTS on the journey thus far, Obviously if this man wins subsaharan African will experience the BIGGEST AFTER PARTY EVER, People will be partying for one straight week. I on one end intend to share 50K to 100 nairalanders, I will be opening a separate thread for this please stay tuned.

If Obi doesnt win, The man has sparked a new consciousness in Nigeria, one that every politician has taken note off that Nigerians will reward you for honesty. Nigerians will not forget you, if dont forget them while in office. Also good people of all tribe across nigeria have been emboldened to step up and participate in politics and not leave this all to the most deadbeat amongst us.

Thank you for standing up against our usual tribal ways, and looking at your mother/father/kids/friends/neighbors and your environment and daring yourself to say the truth. We cannot continue electing horrible people and expect positive results. We need politicians with conscience, Obi is a means to that end of Political emancipation that this country needs...

God Bless us All!

Absolute facts stated by AD

The mans childhood is unknown to no one. Man was a Drug Kingpin, indicted in america, used the proceed from drug dealing to become a politician, rigged his way to becoming the governor of lagos. When one of you urchins was trying to mock obi and asked for videos of obi commissioning projects, several videos was sent in a couple of minutes, when the request was turned around to be demanded from Tinubu, it took one week and only three videos was provided of him commissioning three roads, uptil now we never see anything else. It was in that thread that we were told with statistics from the lagos Govt that the lagos government yearly capital expenditure was in single digits until tinubu left office, not more than 9 Billion naira was spent yearly on capital projects, thats why we have no pictures of tinubu commissioning anything. because he did nothing. After he left capital expenditures jumped to 130 Billion and above yearly. Can you imagine how much he was stealing. Man claimed he made his first millions while working at Deloitte, Deloitte countered in response saying they have never had anyone with his name in their workforce.

With proof you have been shown that this man was an international criminal who did nothing for lagos, he is a brutal corrupt dictator, has been holding Lagos state to the Jugular, brought in the worst president ever known to nigeria just so that he himself can be president, as we write he is weak and sick, with numerous pictures of him pissing on himself. shaking uncontrollably and struggling just to stand or hold anything. Above all the man is very desperate to have absolute power he has no problem throwing the unity of the country under the bus. He is running when it is the turn of the igbos and has chosen a Muslim as Vice all to detriment of this country, so we can continue fighting ourselvers while him and his cabal continue to loot us. The Man has had the ear of the president and the hand of the VP for 7 years and he has done absolutely nothing about the current situation we find ourselves in.

owobokiri:
I have NEVER seen his husband in any serious Igbo meeting since his emergence in the Nigerian polyical scene! He has NEVER made any serious attempt to brandish his much vaunted Igbo heritage until he conspired with Atiku to snatch the PDP vee pee slot. I stand to be corrected though..

Infact, during the early stages of his tenure as the governor, he was deliberately trying to showcase his "Bendel" identity. Always in the news talking about the need to revive the spirits of the old Bendel. Everything came to scritching hault immediately Atiku tried to play him as the Igbo candidate for his Vee Pee position.

The former governor there at Asaba before him, Dr Uduaghan, an itshekiri man, had a better working relationship with Peter Obi than this one has ever had with either Obiano or Soludo. Uduaghan was always attending big events in Anambra,Okowa selsoms visits the East.

So when folks like Atiku try to score cheap political points by brandishing his "Ifeanyichukwu" name for political gains, they have to be reminded that at this stage of Igbo nationalism, this kind of fakery and fuckery won't fly..

You dont get to tell people about how to go about showing their igboness neither should anyone who is from igbo clan needs any ones elses validation to assert their igboness. What does that even mean? Was Okowa ever part of Igbo meetings in Ikaland? then he was in an igbo meeting, and pursing an Igbo cause, he doesnt have to come to Ebonyi or Imo state for your validation. Neither should he cut ties the Anioma people have with Edo state in former Bendel state for Gods Sake. As a matter fact Okowa pursuing the Bendel Aliance is all for the Greater Good of your people that is a Healthy Alliance, because that Alliance endears all the clans within that alliance to the rest of the general igbo population. Let me restate that phrase so that you better see how that is in your interest. An igbo group in Delta State seeks to rekindle old Alliance with Edo State, can you see how that connects to you now without Anioma in the sentence?

Another way to look at this is my people Rivers State in the name of statehood are calling Etche, Ikwerre , Egbema people etc as our Brothers, these are igboic clans, our association with them, their music and culture puts the entire igbo people on a soft landing with us and vice versa.

Most importantly we are all Black People in this country for Godsake, Whats the big deal with tribal Annotations. If I wanted to be a Yoruba Man or Hausa tomorrow All I need to do is move to a Big City in the South West, Change my Name and That of My kids born and unborn, adopt the language and culture, participate actively and positively in the community and keep mentioning that I am originally from another Big SW city, 20years from now I will officially be seen and known as a Yoruba Man and so will my children. This is how Asari Dokubo became an Ijaw Man, probably how tinubu became a Yoruba Man, etc. It is easy for us to love ourselves, if the Brits had forced us all to change language during colonization and banned indigenous languages, we would all be considered one people. Imagine how hard it is for people in countries with Multiple races like Malaysia, Singapore, Russia etc where a name and culture change can not turn you into the other race and yet they embrace themselves as Brothers.

It is well oh!

Everything sounds polished, Wishing him well. Please Infrastructures please, No Open Gutters, Side walks Rather, Give Awka a CBD.

We have you in our prayers Sir even though your comments on Obi at the point you made them were not well thought through and came off selfish as you failed to put the feelings of the same people you serve as a Governor before releasing your rant to the public. A good leader should always be cautious of words that could Stir negative panic or sentiments amongst their people. The people you tagged an Obidient Mob and Headless serpent are Nigerians cut across various tribes and ethnicity who are dealing with the brutal hardship of todays Nigeria, and see Obi amongst the other leading contestants as the only reasonable path forward. They are human beings, and as a Leader taunting an already injured populace in the name politics was wrong.

We know you mean well Sir, your people await your to tell your success story.

Ride on Mr. Solution!

Chinedu

Are you going home for Christmas?

Ahhhh...His favorite past time, calling everybody who disagrees with him an igbo name...As if that is supposed to be an insult. Mr Americana, You are in Africa, we all have African names, not sure what you are on about. What happened to your other monica leodeking, was it banned?

this will not make front page.

bonnyhope:
Obi is the best among them

I urge all reasonable Nigerians

This is another chance to get it right

Your brain lets you know that you are about to take what is not yours, cheating and stealing is something even a child would know is wrong without anyone ever telling them.

What is also wrong is intentionally encouraging or supporting a Thief or a Cheat or Bully. You are also committing the same Offence in the Eyes of God.

[b]Amongst the Top Presidential Aspirants Obi is light years better by every yard stick, Just imagine rather than the usual Stealing allegations, What we are hearing is complaints that he saved 85 Billion Naira(honestly an equivalent of over 300 Billion at todays exchange rate) or he is too stingy, on the other thread a commenter was arguing seriously about how Peter Obi could have remembered that he played football with Peter Odilli and he shouldnt be voted for based on this.

Nigerians have simply because of Tribalism forgotten that we are a country of dangerously corrupt officials who are out there to literally eat you alive whether you are related to them or not.

Peter Obi could have simply not moved forward beyond the PDP Primaries and this country would have already moved into a pathway to darkness because of greedy politicians who would rather sink this country for their selfish reason. Let no one deceive you, Tribalism is as dangerous as Corruption, Marginalization of any section especially a major section of our country is guaranteed path to our destruction. You may not like it but rotation of presidency between the zones is very important to our stability as a nation. Anyone trying to convince otherwise has sold their conscience.

In true spirit of One Nigeria, and the belief that NO one tribe in this United project is a Slave to another, We should all be supporting Peter Obi. If these other political parties were bringing out really outstanding contestants people like Amina Mohammed, or Adesina of AFDB Bank or Okonjo Iweala, then we can maybe think about it as whether it is worth it that a major Nigerian Tribe is being left out of the presidential contest but instead imagine the kind of Presidential Aspirants these people expect us to sell our conscience for. If truly BAT wins this election which is very unlikely the turn can only back to the south in 16years, this is going to be 16 years of tribal insurgency and restiveness coming from disenfranchised youths from that region, all so that a person with a resume like BAT can be president?

The screams of marginalisation and Bigotism against the igbos by their people is killing the morale of the Nigerian Project, tearing our acountry apart, chasing away Foreign Investments and giving this country an Overall Bad Outlook.

No single person who considers theirself a Child of God, or a Good Person who believes in fairness and Equity should be cheering or enabling any one or group who is behind this Marginalization of a Major tribe of our Country. We have to move beyond the history of the Civil War so this country can heal and an Igbo president is a good way to do that. Dont make your decision based on insult online posters because you want to purnish them. If the fact that Obi is a young, corrupt free prudent manager of money is not good enough for you, then vote him because of your that nice igbo neighbor, or customer or childhood friend or teacher or that Igbo policeman at the round about under rain and under sun, let them know that we are all in this together,

The fact that Obi is still running leaves the door of the possibility to right this wrong open, knowing he is a Prudent, Humble and genuinely good person is an additional icing on the cake.

This country is our only home, dont let Greedy politicians steal your conscience for a piece of cake.

God Bless us all

This is definitely political. Someone is trying to subvert the voice of the people from that area. It is one too many. And the Federal Govt is doing nothing. We know its not IPOB and their regular charade. Igbo people should rise up and start protecting inec offices in their region.

Your brain lets you know that you are about to take what is not yours, cheating and stealing is something even a child would know is wrong without anyone ever telling them.

What is also wrong is intentionally encouraging or supporting a Thief or a Cheat or Bully. You are also committing the same Offence in the Eyes of God.

While we are all commending this good man for not taking what was his, I wanted to use the same opportunity to inform you that amongst the Top Presidential Aspirants Obi is light years better by every yard stick, Just imagine rather than the usual Stealing allegations, What we are hearing is complaints that he saved 85 Billion Naira(honestly an equivalent of over 300 Billion at todays exchange rate) or he is too stingy, on the other thread a commenter was arguing seriously about how Peter Obi could have remembered that he played football with Peter Odilli and he shouldnt be voted for based on this.

God Bless us all

even though the twitters are from all nigerian tribes. You guys are scapegoating only one, na wa o. Abi na only igbo ppl dey suffer for this country? the tribalism on this nairaland is sickening.

The interview was barely 8 mins long. and void of the most important questions that nigerians are yearning for answers from him. Your typical political interview on channels or arise or his own tvc is about 34 mins to 1 hour.

BAT claimed again while reading his speech at chatam House that he was trained by Deloitte, even though that is not what he stated in his inec documentation. We know that Deloitte has debunked this claim of ever having an employee by that name. Why is BAT still pushing this false narrative.

How any reasonable person would want this man to rule a country that is already Badly shaken defies common sense.

And those who are praising Buhari for some of these election policies are yet to understand what I call the hand of Tinubu. Buhari has always been controlled by a cabal that is backing Tinubu. This new naira note, 20k withdrawal limit, are to make it difficult for opposition parties to have access to funds on election day, but off course that would not be the same for Tinubu, Here are some other Power plays by Tinubu since the election started to have the higher hand. APC presidential form increased to 100 Million, Cancellation of concensus candidate for APC, All serving appointees must quit their job if they are contesting presidency. Etc. The question is a man who had this much control over the president and has not been able to do any change our current problems, Why run for president??

Please stop all these tribalist horn blowing. This is what is making some nigerians think we are all in a competition to out do ourselves, thereby giving Politicians the opportunity to use tribalism to turn us against ourselves. If igbo people are so smart why is the igbo region inhabited by mostly people massively underdeveloped?
I bet you even the man who started this thread, if as a baby with everything you know about this world now, you were given the opportunity to choose a race and tribe and nationality I bet you would never look at Nigeria. Talk true!

No one nigerian tribe is better than the other, stop deceiving yourselves.

This is an Old news from almost 2 years ago, Will not be shocked if Mynd44 take it to the front page.

thesicilian:
One is an experienced politician with success at the state level, but also a drug lord with senile dementia

One is a business man converting public properties to personal assets and selling off the rest, but with some public service experience at the very top

One is an elderly man who thinks he's young because the other two are older, with no record of success at the state level and majorly riding on ethnic politics and the implied/unspoken threat of regional separation if not given the position.

It's being between a rock and a hard place.
When faced with such options I usually just walk away from all.

Dear Tinubu supporter,

What else do you need to be given as proof for you to understand that your candidate is colossal catastrophe?

The mans childhood is unknown to no one. Man was a Drug Kingpin, indicted in america, used the proceed from drug dealing to become a politician, rigged his way to becoming the governor of lagos. When one of you urchins was trying to mock obi and asked for videos of obi commissioning projects, several videos was sent in a couple of minutes, when the request was turned around to be demanded from Tinubu, it took one week and only three videos was provided of him commissioning three roads, uptil now we never see anything else.

After he left capital expenditures jumped to 130 Billion and above yearly. Can you imagine how much he was stealing. Man claimed he made his first millions while working at Deloitte, Deloitte countered in response saying they have never had anyone with his name in their workforce.

With proof you have been shown that this man was an international criminal who did nothing for lagos, he is a brutal corrupt dictator, has been holding Lagos state to the Jugular, brought in the worst president ever known to nigeria just so that he himself can be president, as we write he is weak and sick, with numerous pictures of him pissing on himself. shaking uncontrollably and struggling just to stand or hold anything. Above all the man is very desperate to have absolute power he has no problem throwing the unity of the country under the bus. He is running when it is the turn of the igbos and has chosen a Muslim as Vice all to detriment of this country, so we can continue fighting ourselvers while him and his cabal continue to loot us. The Man has had the ear of the president and the hand of the VP for 7 years and he has done absolutely nothing about the current situation we find ourselves in.

If you want to be throwing the tribal cards, it is now very obvious that tinubu has no chance of winning this election, This election is for the Yorubas to lose politically, Atiku has an igbo vice. If Atiku wins, the stealing with impunity continues and not just yorubas but the entire country loses. Peter obi is the better candidate by light years, his singular act of leaving 75Billion in Anambra state coffers after leaving has not been replicated by any other governor in the history of nigeria. Second to him was the late Yaradua at 5 Billion. PO retired all the Political Godfathers in Anambra and you can see how sanitized Anambra elections have been since then. Lets use PO to retire the cabal that is holding this country hostage, and from him we can advance to even better intellectual Politicians. We can set this country on the right path. You see people in Lebanon going to Rob Bank to collect their own money, a crisis that started with Bad Governance and the devaluation of their currency, as a matter of fact that is where we are headed as a country if we mistakenly miss the opportunity at good governance, Dollar is now 730 from 595 in june, Rather than coming to campaign for Tinubu you people should be out there protesting for your paymasters to wade into our national currency crisis .

I am a Riversman, we need our Yoruba Muslim Brothers on ourside to absolutely guarantee this victory. Let us take our country back.

Please let us all think, na we go still suffer am.

Obviously this is the right thing to do IG, these stadiums were not built for political Parties but for Nigerians to use. Stopping a rival Party from campaigning in a Public Stadium is very babaric.

Now thats why its said, dont just be book smart, be street smart. Soludo is lacking the latter part.

QuotaSystem:
They are warning you to build bridges first to avoid shutting yourselves out from the Presidency for the next 16 years (with the attendant agitations, self-inflicted marginalization and other opportunity costs) because of the obvious fact that an Obi win is a mathematical impossibility.



This can only be understood and appreciated however, if you take off your emotional lens.

The statement by the Coalition and that of Soludo are Clever by half and has the hand writing of people paid by the PDP over it.

Here is what is more factual.

This is not just a Tribal contest, there is more of a Religious and Geopolitical Tussle at stake after Buharis very Nepotic administration.

There are four very serious Candidates in this race. Three of them are Muslim, and only one is christian. Nigerian Population is split christain and Muslim 50 50. This is the biggest Factor.

Peter Obi is not just an Igbo man, the man is married to an Ibibio woman, from akwaibom, so the Akwa-Cross people are fighting to get their sister in Aso Rock as well, the Ibibio when combined with Efik and Egegham are one of the largest Minorities in Nigeria after the Fulani People.

Secondly alot of you Tinubu supporters keep saying that No Shinedu, or Emeka, will ever enter aso rock, forgetting there are alot of tribes in the SS, and Middlebelt that bear igboic names but do not consider themselves igbo people, those people are also trying to prove a point to some you who are cancelling their identity as nigerians by protest voting for Obi.

I am a Rivers Man, though some of our people might have their reservations when it comes to certain aspects of igbo people but at this point all of that has been thrown into the wind, Given everything that has happened in this very Nepotic Buhari Regime, We feel more as though we are fighting for the survival of our Identity and Religious beliefs, and the only person on the Ballot who would stand for us is Obi. I bet you that if you Polygraphed any Christain Minority tribe in the SS or Middle Belt, that is an Obidient, this will be one of the core reason at the bottom of their vote...I mean apart from the fact its easy to Like Obi and his simple down to earth quality, the man is quite endearing.

And finally this is an unfair fight between Obi, Atiku and Tinubu, without too much thinking Obi is 10,000 times better it will literally take a mentally unstable or extremely tribalistic person to leave Obi and vote for either of the two. I can bet even some of these very tribalistic people will not go out on election day and vote at all rather than vote for an impending disaster like Tinubu.

Nigerian Democracy is still young, dont be using CNN statistics of 100s of years Of Democrats and Republican Voters in the US to look at Nigeria. How old is APC? a party that has only won a full tenure of Presidency. There is nothing like traditional votes in Nigerian, its only vested interest. We are all new to this.

We are a very tribalistic, religious, poor and Money minded country, I am not saying this is right but that is how we choose candidates in Nigeria, if he is not from our tribe, then someone from our region, if not then religion, if not then someone that will pay us before we vote, or someone whose administration is likely to make us richer, Looking at this four aspects, with respect to the fact that three of the candidates are muslims, two of the top muslims are very corrupt and likely to plunge nigeria into poverty you can clearly see that Obi has no competition,

With less chances of rigging with BVAS, we will be finally getting to know the real numbers of votes casted per region in this election. Hope I have helped to clear that emotional lens you are talking about.

After stealing so much Buharis conscience could no longer contain him, he started releasing the few people that EFCC managed to put in prison. How can he genuinely claim to be blind to the amount of theft going on?

Over a 100K Barrels of crude oil per day stolen through illegal pipes controlled by powerful individuals in this government, under the watch of Buhari, the Petroleum Minister. That alone is 7 Billion naira per day using current crude oil price and exchange rate, after Obi made this known to the public, they pretended to be shocked, now everyone has gone mute...No arrests, No nothing!

Then add all the stealing Buhari is doing to steal from the little that is in the governments purse, One billion per day to feed imaginary school children, 1.9 Billion to Build train in Maradi Local Govt, Niger Republic, when there is no single Hospital in the entire nigeria that Buhari or Tinubu think is good enough for them to go to. the list is endless.

And some people are campaigning for APC?

With everything we are hearing about Nassarawa, one must say their people are very Politically awake and politically charged. Kudos to them. We cannot get good governance by sleeping on politicians.

Even if you dont know who to vote for, You as a living being you should know who to NEVER Vote for.

One candidate when we say please dont vote criminals, his people are offended, when we say dont vote old people, they get offended, when say dont vote sick people. they get angry, when we say please no buying of votes or rigging of election, they are pissed off, When we say please dont vote a candidate whose past identity is unknown the go bunkers. They are the true enemies of Nigeria, they want all the bad things a president should not be to be bestowed on a nigerian president.

Thortp:
You should resign Sir

My Brother,The thing just tire me oh, I am not sure if this man has been aware that he has been the VP this entire time, in the most corrupt administration EVER in the history of Nigeria, After stealing so much Buharis conscience could no longer contain him, he started releasing the few people that EFCC managed to put in prison. How can he genuinely claim to be blind to the amount of theft going on?

Over a 100K Barrels of crude oil per day stolen through illegal pipes controlled by powerful individuals in this government, under the watch of Buhari, the Petroleum Minister. That alone is 7 Billion naira per day using current crude oil price and exchange rate, after Obi made this known to the public, they pretended to be shocked, now everyone has gone mute...No arrests, No nothing!

Then add all the stealing Buhari is doing to steal from the little that is in the governments purse, One billion per day to feed imaginary school children, 1.9 Billion to Build train in Maradi Local Govt, Niger Republic, the list is endless. Mr VP if your hands are clean Resign! Your are not tied to that position, otherwise you are fooling no one, you are a part of the thieving gang of politicians killing us.

JAMO84:
If 36 million Igbo have PVC, what is the total population of Igbo?

My Brother, the Current estimates are between realistically between 45 to 60 Million . This country has never had a proper census. so its Just estimates. But even at that estimate it is impossible to have 36 Million Registered Voters. Realistically Maybe 20 Million, But their people usually have a lot of Voter Apathy, and get lazy on election Day.

Having said that, It is fair to note that Igbo people are more energetic about the prospects of an Obi Presidency. Personally this mans Tribe is not is none of My Business, Wetin concern tribe concern presidency, If Na Tribe, why my Beloved Bayelsa still dey like this.

It is only important to me its when I realize that if we skip an igbo president now then we have 16 years to deal with shock waves of a tribal inequity which can create more restiveness in the country. Knowing that PO is squeaky and polished is why I am with him,

I know you are not a PO supporter, I am just responding to you, someone would have eventually.

obviously...its a very sad sell to deaf, dumb and the blind

Amongst the Top Presidential Aspirants Obi is light years better by every yard stick, Just imagine rather than the usual Stealing allegations, What we are hearing is complaints that he saved 85 Billion Naira(honestly an equivalent of over 300 Billion at todays exchange rate) or he is too stingy, on the other thread a commenter was arguing seriously about how Peter Obi could have remember that he played football with Peter Odilli and he shouldnt be voted for based on this.

Nigerians have simply because of Tribalism forgotten that we are a country of dangerously corrupt officials who are out there to literally eat you alive whether you are related to them or not.

Peter Obi could have simply not moved forward beyond the PDP Primaries and this country would have already moved into a pathway to darkness because of greedy politicians who would rather sink this country for their selfish reason. Let no one deceive you, Tribalism is as dangerous as Corruption, Marginalization of any section especially a major section of our country is guaranteed path to our destruction. You may not like it but rotation of presidency between the zones is very important to our stability as a nation. Anyone trying to convince otherwise has sold their conscience.

In true spirit of One Nigeria, and the belief that NO one tribe in this United project is a Slave to another, We should all be supporting Peter Obi. If these other political were bringing out really outstanding contestants people like Amina Mohammed, or Adesina of AFDB Bank or Okonjo Iweala, then we can maybe think about it as whether it is worth it that a major Nigerian Tribe is being left out of the presidential contest but instead imagine the kind of Presidential Aspirants these people expect us to sell our conscience for. If truly BAT wins this election which is very unlikely the turn can only back to the south in 16years, this is going to be 16 years of tribal insurgency and restiveness coming from disenfranchised youths from that region, all so that a person with a resume like BAT can be president?

The screams of marginalisation and Bigotism against the igbos by their people is killing the morale of the Nigerian Project, tearing our acountry apart, chasing away Foreign Investments and giving this country an Overall Bad Outlook.

No single person who considers theirself a Child of God, or a Good Person who believes in fairness and Equity should be cheering or enabling any one or group who is behind this Marginalization of a Major tribe of our Country. We have to move beyond the history of the Civil War so this country can heal and an Igbo president is a good way to do that. Dont make your decision based on insult online posters because you want to purnish them. If the fact that Obi is a young, corrupt free prudent manager of money is not good enough for you, then vote him because of your that nice igbo neighbor, or customer or childhood friend or teacher or that Igbo policeman at the round about under rain and under sun, let them know that we are all in this together,

The fact that Obi is still running leaves the door of the possibility to right this wrong open, knowing he is a Prudent, Humble and genuinely good person is an additional icing on the cake.

This country is our only home, dont let Greedy politicians steal your conscience for a piece of cake.

God Bless us all

Shameless Cheats,...Thank God for BVAS...And to think of it some people printed this thing kept it full view of public to criticize? Abi those people were Blind?

Prof , you have been the VP for 8 years...in charge of FEC meeting...What have you been doing? Why havent you moved us from consumption to production?

The fact that Channels TV is giving audience to Asari Dokubo on TV is very bad, the man is stone cold criminal responsible for the death and destruction of so many lives and properties. I was living in Borokiri in the early 2000s when this Asari and his boys were waging war against Ateke Tom, they Killed a lot of people women and Children, destroyed a lot of properties, few months later when he was invited to Rhythm 97 Fm to come talk on the issue of resource control, the then Gov. Odilli personally called the station and stopped the interview from taking place, people were fired. It is sad to see this criminal being given any sort of audience, what a pity. The fact that he supports your candidate mostly means that your candidate is most likely rogue like he is.

Amongst the Top Presidential Aspirants Obi is light years better by every yard stick, Just imagine rather than the usual Stealing allegations, What we are hearing is complaints that he saved 85 Billion Naira(honestly an equivalent of over 300 Billion at todays exchange rate) or he is too stingy, on the other thread a commenter was arguing seriously about how Peter Obi could have remember that he played football with Peter Odilli and he shouldnt be voted for based on this.

Nigerians have simply because of Tribalism forgotten that we are a country of dangerously corrupt officials who are out there to literally eat you alive whether you are related to them or not.

Peter Obi could have simply not moved forward beyond the PDP Primaries and this country would have already moved into a pathway to darkness because of greedy politicians who would rather sink this country for their selfish reason. Let no one deceive you, Tribalism is as dangerous as Corruption, Marginalization of any section especially a major section of our country is guaranteed path to our destruction. You may not like it but rotation of presidency between the zones is very important to our stability as a nation. Anyone trying to convince otherwise has sold their conscience.

In true spirit of One Nigeria, and the belief that NO one tribe in this United project is a Slave to another, We should all be supporting Peter Obi. If these other political were bringing out really outstanding contestants people like Amina Mohammed, or Adesina of AFDB Bank or Okonjo Iweala, then we can maybe think about it as whether it is worth it that a major Nigerian Tribe is being left out of the presidential contest but instead imagine the kind of Presidential Aspirants these people expect us to sell our conscience for. If truly BAT wins this election which is very unlikely the turn can only back to the south in 16years, this is going to be 16 years of tribal insurgency and restiveness coming from disenfranchised youths from that region, all so that a person with a resume like BAT can be president?

But I thought BAT is saying he is 71?

I watched it. He said they couldnt make a down payment of roasted corn for electricity. In all Honesty I actually feel sorry for him, To come this far in life, Plan it all and survive it all, only for nature to be the stumbling block between him and the apple of his eyes. On the other hand, How are the people supporting this man keeping a straight face?

iwaeda:
Under saint Buhari

Buhari and The APC machinery has sent this country many decades backwards.
