Buhari failed woefully in Imo state despite pulling over 100,000 votes. This is because he failed to secure 25%.

It's a known fact that Buhari failed in the South (SE, SS, SW). That's why his victory isn't a popular mandate. It's a regional mandate from the North wink. He needs to do sth about that when he assumes power.....a priceless advice.
What if by chance Jonathan's dollars had done wonders in the SW and he had secured enough votes there to marginally edge GMB and win the elections, would you have considered GEJ's victory a popular mandate? #JustAsking

Of course he never needed his WASC. Afterall, our previous leaders are hardly university graduates (with exception of Yar Adua and Jonathan) so it's not totally strange that we have a school drop out as a president. The world is aware.

Buhari's victory is not a popular mandate. He never secured massive votes from Nigerians. He failed woefully in the South East (couldn't even secure 25% votes there), failed woefully in the South South and won only marginally in the South West. He never got any massive votes from the South, infact he lost in the South.

Being an Igbo man/woman makes one a STAR by default in Nigeria. We are the centre of attraction. The HausaFulanis and their Yorubas slaves can't stop watching their backs even forty years after the war. God simply made us a higher specie. That's why we move like a Train with the speed of light. They can't simply fathom how we do what we do. Its the Lords doing and its marvelous in their eyes.

Doesn't it beat your imagination that forty years after the war and forty years of HausaFulanis ruling and ruining the contraption called nigeria the north remains the poorest region, with half of their population engaged in their best known profession, begging arms with leprosy hands.

Doesn't it beat your imagination that forty years after the war irrespective of all awolowo did to suppress the progress of Ndigbo after the war, Ndigbo lives in better part of lagos and eats well cooked three square meals daily while yorubas live in boys quarters and drink garri all day.

My advice to yorubas is this. If you so hate the Igbo man for being blessed, do what your father awolowo did; HANG YOURSELVES.

They probably also counted some 2.8m Fulani cows just to pad Buhari's vote numbers in the north.

He's not earned a mandate from true voters.

Theoretically speaking, if the people wanted GEJ to win, they'd have come out to vote for him.

Let's speak for people who actually voted. It was their will.

The ones that had the PVC didn't vote care for either GEJ or Buhari. It was not their will to reinstate GEJ either.

This issue of low voters turnout is beyond the elected (buhari) and the unelected (Jonathan). We need to build a participatory democracy!!! The fact that millions refused or were incapable to register is disturbing. Also, the fact that many registers voters refused to vote calls for attention. Many registered but could not get voters card, and many got the PVC but could not vote also. If our leaders really want Nigerians to vote, the process of registration, collection of PVC, voting, and electoral accountably should be made possible. Alas! In situations where even the political strata are dominated by untrustworthy domestic despots masquerading as democrats...the voters are reluctant. Most times, the candidates we are all arguing over are like choosing among the communities of man eaters like lion, tiger, leopard...

This man is wrong. Except for the divisive politics initiated by the PDP due to their money power, Buhari would've won more votes in the south east. Let's see it this way: south easterners always accuse Buhari of threatening to make the ungovernable, but this is completely false, this man has done nothing wrong, they're simply smearing his name because that's the only thing they can do to prevent him from cutting their supplies, and they have sowed that seed of hate inside you such that even if he develops Nigeria To be like Europe, you'll still hate him.

Finally, an abok.i, a nama rearer that some people consider great wink

Balarabe Musa is someone I respect very much but what he's saying holds no water...the June 12 elections had only 14million voters. 2011 elections won by Jonathan had 36million voters. If 2015 had 28million, it isn't buhari's fault. He's not the umpire and even the umpire will not point guns to people's head to force them to go vote. Nigerians generally are apathetic to elections.

A perfect example is the rerun elections in Imo state. Out of 144000 registered voters and 113000 PVC collected, less than 50000 came out to vote....

Now, whose fault is that?



Someone posts a comment and you wonder whether the person passed through school without the school passign through him

Balarabe Musa said Buhari has a mandate but not a popular one based on total votes cast and the % he won. You are here bringing up the number of votes in 1993 i.e. 22 years ago that MKO won by a landslide compared to Tofa.

Do we have the same population as 1993

Then you spoil your own argument by bringing 2011 when 8 million people MORE voted despite a lesser population and Jonathan had a greater margin and wider SPREAD. Surely you nor try at all angry

In 2011, GEJ polled 22m votes while GMB polled 12m votes totaling 34m votes.
In 2015, GMB polled 15m votes while GEJ polled 12m votes, totaling 27m votes. GMB had 7m votes less than GEJ in 2011 even though a lot more things were at stake in 2015

I wonder how low voters turnout a candidate's issue. He should have directed his bitterness to INEC even at that he wouldn't have been sounded sensible.
