Anytime I see u pple mention "19 northern states"...😅
You are deliberately being obtuse here. D last election clearly showed that there's a difference btw north & Central. We voted against APC cos we get sense pass North. If not 4 rigging, there should have been a run off.
Obi was never going to win that election because it was clear he won’t win any state in the 19 states of the North and at least 5 states of the SW.
That was 24 states he was never going to win.
Atiku stood the best chance of beating BAT. And he could have easily done but PDP’s traditional bases of SE and SS were depleted.
There was only going to be one winner.
I gave Atiku small chance in my scenario 3 because I wasn’t sure how loyal party members of the SS and SE were going to take Obi, but it wasn’t the case as we saw later, making it easier for a BAT victory.
On rigging, every single presidential election since 1979, there have been some rigging.
All, bar, maybe, 1993. When NPN beat UPN and NPP in 1979 and 1983, when PDP beat AD/APP in 1999, beat APP in 2003, beat ANPP and AC in 2007, the CPC and ACN in 2011, when APC beat PDP in 2015 and 2019, there were rigging.
Was it enough to tilt? No
The worst rigging in Nigeria happened in 2007, but with ot withour rigging, no way Buhari’s APP was ever going to defeat Yaradua’s PDP.
Was there rigging in 2023? Yes, mostly by APC and LP in their supporters’ strongholds (people don’t take bullet for Atiku - he never had that loyalty, that fanatical support base!).
Did that tilt outcome? As it was in 1979, as it was in 2007, it doesn’t tilt outcome.
Presidential election is not HOR election!
This thing is not about wishes or preferences, it is about reality of Nigerian system.
Again, I can never agree with jungle justice no matter the reasons. If you want to teach anyone a lesson, go to Mahmood Yakubu. He’s the only one that your presence and anger can terrify. Stripping a ballot snatcher naked to teach INEC a lesson makes no sense to me!
The real criminals are feeding fat in Abuja!
The recent expenditure of N60 billion for the purchase of SUV vehicles for about 400 legislators is a continuation of the troubling trend in our nation today. We have continued to abandon the critical areas of development measurement while expending scarce resources on needless
Zakir Naik came to Nigeria and started declaring our institutions “Muslim.” Called the sultan the “head of state.”
Now he has told all his extremist followers that anyone who lives Islam in a Muslim state can be killed. We warned you people about this man

When ND militants where kidnapping oyibo, we were laughing then they came for us. Jihadists have been killing Christians but so called 'moderates' have been indifferent. If a ram is being slaughtered, it should bother d cow. If jihadists succeed, even so called moderates will
I have Muslim friends who slept in the bush for 3 days because after the Islamic extremist were done attacking the Christian’s in Jos, they faced the Muslims from the west and middle belt who weren’t radical enough. One of them is my mutual, he will likely see this.
@usuflasa@masurge7@biffamna Well you might not actively kill or support these religious killings perhaps you are among the majority who are indifferent towards the existential threat that has enveloped northern Christians. Silence and indifference is tacit support.
In February 2006 Muslims in Maiduguri killed 17 christians including Rev Father Matthew Gajere only because a newspaper in far away Denmark made a cartoon of Their Prophet Muhammad. They burned 30 churches and 5 Hotels.
These are the same people accusing Israel of genocide.
