Nnamdi cownu right now be like : look at the fools I suffered for chai I laboured in vain.

bluefilm:
What the eff is this with all these igbo connection?

Someone should please remind this atiku that the 5 percenters do not count politically in this country.

Even if all the 5 percenters vote for him, it will still not take him anywhere.

Nbote:
Na dis kind thread ZonBs dey gather like flies on top shit... Make una save una strength till presidential debate abeg...

profeazy:
I won't have voted and I would have cause fight in my compund on election day so no one goes to vote. We will all end up in police station.

Colourich:
Had it been he didn't pick Peter obi, igbos will be reluctant to vote come next year. They are underestimating our votes and they think because Atiku's wife is Igbo, he has Igbo's vote locked down whether he picked a Yoruba as a running mate or not

NwaliE01:
Now we the Igbos are regretting this. Most people doesn't have pvc because they were busy with IPoBS protest forgetting that oppourtunity like this will come.

franchasng:
if Atiku had picked Adesina, or even Fayose, Igbos will massively support him.

Igbos vote mostly based on personality perception more than tribe or party.

Atiku should go back and correct his VP pick.

I will message him, he should not listen to some greedy Igbo elites who Igbo people don't follow.

Igbos don't vote based on who some political elites endorse just as Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas do.

Atiku must change this choice to stand a greater chance of defeating Buhari because he can't afford to lose this vital election o, I feel like crying already

Unik3030:
how many Igbos have PVC n even in the north do u think the northerners want to have something doing with anything Igbo?n d SW will prefer to have a VP other than obi an Igbo man

franchasng:
They are that horrible na, u don't know before now

They are ready to exhume Abacha and vote for him so long as he picks a Yoruba as VP!

Most of their actions since 1966 is mostly to spite Igbos.

They are so scared of Igbos to a fault lol.

Atiku should have given them the VP slot knowing fully well that Igbos would vote for him whether he picked an Igbo person or not!

All Igbos want is a secured, thriving Nigeria devoid or marginalization of any tribe, with a level playing ground, Igbos will always lead economically

praise010:
How old are you?

What work do you do?

fk001:
If this news is true,then Atiku has made the biggest political suicide.


He has shot himself on the foot.


Congratulations President Muhammadu Buhari in advance.


NB: I am Neither from SW nor SE..

gare:
Mods Una try banning me, I am back well and fine, I must speak my mind if una like am or not, Back to issue, he knows better not Concede, if not the stories of others that refused to concede will be his portion.

Philistine:
Patching of potholes is now a project....Buhari really fall hand sha!

Nowenuse:
The South-west is overrated.

Yorubas do not have a strong voting power.

Only Yorubas + North-central votes is enought to cause a major damage.

At the end of the day in Nigeria at large, no single geopolitical zone can win an election on her own.

As powerful as the North-west seems in votes, they and the North-east combined could not make Buhari win elections all the past times he tried. He needed the South-west and North-central to win in 2015.

gidgiddy:
Gwa onwe gi Eziokwu

It's got nothing to do with Buhari or anybody. It doesn't matter who gets elected, Nigeria is heading nowhere because it does not work as a nation.

Since nothing is working, what is the point of voting?

Other African countries like Morocco, South Africa, Botswana and Algeria can boast of 24 hour light, motorable roads and portable water.

What can you boast of as a Nigerian?

You can boast that you voted? Don't make me laugh

MetaPhysical:
The parties zoned their presidential tickets to North, not to Yorubaland. The issue between the candidacy of Buhari and Atiku should be spearheaded by Northerners. We can take side based on our interest in the VP position and its succession but we should not be at the forefront of the debate on who between Buhari and Atiku to rally behind, at least not at this point when we don't even know who Atiku will pick as VP.

Where are the Fulanis in Nairaland, does it matter to them who wins? Of all people that should be worried about the outcome of election Yoruba should not even be in the list. Look at our region, everywhere is APC. Compare with other regions. We have a political heirarchy in place that is more successful than the political success in the center. No one can win Presidency without seeking our favor, therefore we ought to sit back and relax, not agitated and in front of a war. The North and the East should be the ones at each other throat over whether Buhari succeed or Atiku succeed, not Yoruba at all.

Please heed and chill out. Allow Ibo to put anything and everything they want on the internet. If it bothers Fulani they should respond, if not they should allow it. Wetin concern us? Anyone between Buhari and Atiku that is interested in winning must show to us why we should support them. Let's stop behaving like Ibos, they don't have the numbers and therefore must make noise to be noticed. We have the numbers and no need to be noticed with noisemaking.

Gboom:
The way these jobless ipobs yoots are supporting Atiku shows that their initial struggle for succession was never genuine.
If it was an Ibo man that is contesting I would have said they are being pacified with presidential ticket.

It is worthy to note that even if it is an Igboman they will still not support him like the way their fathers supported Shagari instead of Azikiwe who was their own in 1979 and 1983

I hope those who claim the Economist is credible wont call this APC propaganda

The Economist called him a wheeler-dealer sef

For those who do not know what this means, A wheeler-dealer is a person who makes deals in business or politics in a skilful and sometimes dishonest way.
