buzo 1: There is always a saying, its not abt the times you fall bt its about the way u rise. Buhari has fallen yet he's still rising. Abraham Lincoln in USA failed but he did not allow dat to disturb him. Today, he is well celebrated in USA, so will Buhari in Nigeria, when voted for. Think Twice when writing ur comment don't follow the multitude o. Cheers |

emiye:You are not sincere brother, you conveniently put it in a contest of nort-South divide, yet Nigeria stands on a tripod, while two legs of the tripod has ruled for many years between them, one was left out. Since independence in 1960(53 years), the Igbo has ruled for only 6 months! Is that not wickedness? If you are honest as you claim, then you will support Igbo presidency and not play to the gallery. |

dayokanu:FALLACY! What swing votes are you blabbing about? The fact is that Igbos have a bigger voting block than the Yorubas, the Igbos make up over 95% of the 5 south east states, one half of Lagos state, 4O% of Abuja, 1/3 of Kano city, and equally has considerable population in many other states of the federation. The Igbos largely contributed to the success of GEJ with their block vote! |

dayokanu: I de laugh like obasnjo.Was Bakare not buhari's running mate in the last elections? Why didn't the yorubas vote for him? Dayo you really amaze me with your sentimantal analysis.You really believe yorubas make up 80% of lagos? Have you heard the popular saying "lagos is no man's land" how do you think that came about.Lagos like Kadunna is too cosmopolitan and the chances of any of the presidential aspirants securing more than 60% of votes there would be very slim.You will just have to hold me to my words and if it pleases God to keep us alive, we will both reanalyse the results of the 2015 elections in the light of this statements. I know one thing for sure,the lagos I live in is definity not up to 70% yoruba population |

chukwudi44: Most Yorubas in Lagos live on the mainland, while the Island areas are definitely more populated by non-Yorubas. |

chukwudi44: Bakare is a nobody in Yoruba Politics who cares about what Bakare says? I repeat Yorubas make up 80% of Lagos VOTING population who do you think go to polling booth to vote? Do you think the big men in Lekki, VI Ikoyi even have a voters card? You mean those big men in VI, Ikoyi and Lekki would stay in the sun to register or vote? Election day for them is the day to watch TV and relax with the family.. na the indigenes mainly that do the voting because they are the ones connected with the Grassroot and know the contestants. They probably knew Fashola while growing up and have much vested interest . Go to any election center its mainly the market women, mechanic, drivers, students and generally the low income people who do the voting Check lagos votes and compare the numbers that come from Alimosho Agege LGA with those from Eti Osa, FESTAC and those places havent you heard that during Census or elections Some ibos travel back to their region to be counted and vote? 1 Like |

Afam4eva: You guys are just speculating. Nobody really knows the tribal distribution of Lagos. Yeah we are speculating but do you think anyone with half a brain would say Igbos make over 40% of lagos Population? I have asked them to fill the gaps below How many percentage are South South people? (Edo, Delta, Calabar, Rivers etc) How many percentage are hausa who dominate Kiosk, Suya, Okada business? How many percentage are middle belters And How many percentage are Yorubas Fill in the gap please And If igbos are that much how come they have never been in elective posts |
Re: APC: Fashola, Oshiomhole, Okorocha Tipped As VP Nominees by Afam4eva(m): 8:34pm On Mar 12, 2013 |
dayokanu:I don't personally think Igbos make up 40%. That's just astronomical if you ask me. I think to be on the safe side, i'll say they're anything below 29% and below. Hausas have large populations in specific places where they ply their trade but are no everywhere like Yorubas and Igbos. Igbos can be found in every nook and cranny of Lagos and also in places where they're known to ply their their trade. To be sincere, Igbos are very much in Lagos. Yorubas are probably somewhere between 40% to 50%. While Northerners and southern minorities make up the remaining number. And btw, i don't know why you keep bringing up why Igbos are not in elective position in lagos as if that's how it works in NIgeria. As it stands now, even if Igbos are 80% of Lagos, Yorubas will most likely still produce the governor. Go and ask people in Plateau why Fulanis have not produced the governor of that state despite their population. |

chukwudi44: The level of ignorance displayed on this thread is quite nauseating.people are here counting states as if we are operating the american electoral system.All nigeria requires is majority of total votes cast provided you score 25% in @ least 24 states.A candidate can win in majority of the states and still loose the elections.All this talk of any zone been more important than the other is rubbish.With this reply, i will go an sleep for 10 hours non stop. So some people are still thinking right? Counting states no be small thing o, see as dem dey arrange all dese figures since morning, i jus dey wonder. I opened an old thread of 2010 and saw what people predicted there i.e before Yaradua's demise, i couldnt help laughing yesterday. None of dem even predicted GEJ will ever make d presidential seat. They were all talking opposite of wat is happening now as if a prayerful person swore against all the comments there. The point is dat as we make all dese speculations based on our diverse wishes, one shouldnt give himself much headache, cos d future is 'very' pregnant. |

Since independence in 1960(53 years), the Igbo has ruled for only 6 months! Is that not wickedness? If you are honest as you claim, then you will support Igbo presidency and not play to the gallery. I am so concerned about the quality of governance from whoever is on the presidential seat than to put premium on the region (s)he comes from. What tripod does nigeria stand on? When Nigeria was amalgamated, was it not Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1914? Wont the country be celebrating 100 years of it next year? If you are talking of Yoruba, Hausa-fulani , igbo, then you are so wrong to call it the tripod, they only make 62% of the total population. the other tribes making roughly 40% are they not Nigerians ?. I am a Yoruba Christian man, but will gladly vote a buddhist , igbo, hausa or whatever man who will deliver sustainable development to the country. I am pointing out the situation that by 2015, the south would have ruled for 14years out of the last 16 years, not because i really care about it, but because i am aware an average nigerian man like you (northerner / Southerner) painfully have sentimental attachments to things like that. 2 Likes |
