izu777: That Nigeria did not divide is because GEJ does not want it. 1, Lopsided and non-democratically created 36 states + Abuja political structure which favour far north continued to determine who emerged president in Nigeria's democratic elections since 1999 - that makes whoever emerged president not be the wish of majority of Nigerians from all corners of the country. 2, Six years of terrorist violence influenced the result of last presidential election a lot. 3, Too many eligible voters could not vote - for example, in Lagos state of over 15 million people, less than 1.9 million votes were cast; it is believed that the INEC machinery in conjunction with a political party leadership worked hard to disenfranchise to many people in Lagos. If Buhari resists political restructuring, perhaps, Nigeria may not be lucky next time. 2 Likes |

basilo101: Congrats to you and fayose for winning the least populated, poorest and smallest state in the SW. Long may you enjoy the 'wiping' but I wonder the relevance of your boasting to the crux of this thread? |

What Balarabe Musa meant was that a whole lot of registered voter did not exercise their franchise. Probably most of them ran away out of fear. There was massive migration prior to the elections. |

rexzqcom: GEJ lost the election by a wide margin. margin would have been wider if more people got pvc. recall the scanty votes in north east and north central states. Conceding defeat was the right thing to do by a sane person who lost election. |
