kotv:If you want your region to count, you can move back there. Stop moaning abeg. The fact is if you live in SW your vote will count under that region. If your mission is to influence SW electorally by moving there then maybe in another 100yrs and by then you will have been absorbed. More hinterland Yoruba’s move to the cities daily than non Yoruba’s I hope you realize that. By the way SW is at least 85% Yoruba. You also forget that SW has high populations in Kwara and the North too. Especially Kaduna but we don’t even factor that in. The truth is SW has the highest population in Nigeria. Hausa comes second and Igbo third. Hausa and Fulani are two different tribes and should not be counted as one. The north also has a lot of minority tribes within. Yoruba’s are majority in about 7 states in Nigeria. We are talking 85% and above. Most states don’t have that. Yoruba population is very high. Because we don’t shout does not mean we are not there. If a Yoruba person who they believe in should run for presidency, then you will witness the PVC registrations shoot up and the number of voters will Suddenly spike up! I don’t care for PDP or APC. In fact I may vote for Oby sef. Just thought I should educate you. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

We seem to have neglected the bigger picture ... As things stand today in Nigeria, that the majority will definitely vote for PDP will not even depend much on where Atiku gets his VP. Majority, including the SW, will vote against APC because it has not performed well. There is a national anger and a feeling of disappointment against the party. In fact, even if Atiku does not choose a VP, he will surely win. It's like The Nation + PDP vs APC = defeat for APC. Mark my word. I have no political leaning, but I do follow what is happening in my country. 1 Like 1 Share |

baby124: Yoruba people please stop changing the story when it benefits you. A minute you mock non-indigenous that live in your zone while saying you people wouldn't leave your area because it's the most developed states in Nigeria, even though that's a laughter on your part. Now, you claim you're everywhere. Pick a side and stay there. Even if you claim there are Yorubas everywhere and let's agree to that, there are more Ibos in every zone than yorubas and that is a fact. Nobody that sincere can even deny that Now, who's arguing there are more non-indigenous than indigenous in Yoruba zone? Did I say that? What I am saying is that 14 million despite North, SS, and SE has a high number of their people residing in SW and counted in that 14 million shows that Yoruba voting strength is not as high or significant as they claim. Neither do Yoruba influence how the non-indigenous in SW votes despite your people claims here hence, the marginal differences of PDP and APC votes during 2015 in SW was not that high. The highest voting blocs of Yorubas is SW just like the highest voting blocs of ibos is SE. Unlike SE, the SW number includes non-indigenous, again that is a fact. In Kwara and Kogi, we've witnessed how the SW yoruba have significantly attacked and insulted the leaders of that side from your group that would have influenced the voting pattern in that area. Do you really think Saraki and co yorubas joined APC to insult repeatedly would even allow their area to vote in the same pattern as the party that's repeatedly tried to damage them and equally organized protesters to throw things at them? Do you honestly believe such will happen? Let's also not forget that if we use your argument against the hausa/fulani, both states have minorities that are significantly high in a population who may or may not vote the way yoruba in that zone votes. As for the Northern minorities, yes that's true but just like ibos in ss votes the way se votes, the minorities in north votes the same way hausa/fulani votes. The only swinging factor is middle belt and considering how buhari have treated the antagonist against them, I don't see many from that area joining in the Arewa wagon this time around. Atiku can win with or without Yoruba vote. 4 Likes 1 Share |

kotv:Even if other tribes are outside their homeland, majority are still at home. That 14m is probably 60% of eligible SW voters by the way. So what are you saying? The fact is that even if other tribes are in the region, their voting strength is not significant when you consider the region as a whole. There are also Yoruba’s in SS and the North. But when the regions are looked at, it is at the majority impact of votes and how they swing. SW is the most unpredictable zone and you must perform or the vote against you. They are not blindly loyal to a party but to performers. This forces candidates to try to bet against their unpredictability. They could also vote based on interest. You don’t realize that Atiku would have promised delegates from several zones many things. The shocker Wike and other PDP stalwarts got, where do you think most of those delegates who voted for Atiku came from? Probably NE and SW. so all these promises and calculations have probably been done before his emergence and winning the presidential primary. Gbenga Daniels as campaign manager was not a mistake. I am sure he worked hard on SW delegates who can cut across the SW and North. Wike thought he had the SS and SE votes down for Tambuwal. His mistake was that he neglected other zones and the possible diversity within. You know the SW’ers within PDP we’re not happy for not getting the chairmanship. Another mistake by Wike. If he gave SW chairmanship, the VP slot will no doubt go to SE. The SE PDP members obviously have no strategy or goal. So blame them and not the SW’ers who probably saw a bigger opportunity and negotiated. 6 Likes 1 Share |

baby124: Yoruba votes are very predictable as of late. SW votes wherever Tinubu tells them to vote. What transpired with Ambode shows that. He was continuously praised by yoruba as the best governor in Nigeria and the second Tinubu said otherwise, Yoruba did as well. The same way we've seen yorubas say on this site repeatedly they reject pdp simply because tinubu says so. Even with Osun defeats your comments on they vote based on performance. We are all aware majority of Yoruba will vote APC because Tinubu says so hence the focus for SW should be on the non-indigenous as he does not control them as he controls the indigenous. The votes from the non-indigenous would be counted as the SW zone, again that's a fact. I highly highly doubt SW delegates are the contributing factor to Atiku win. The North, SE and SS voted for him as well. If I remember correctly there was even an article about SE votes towards his winning PDP presidential slot. Wike has no strength on influencing anything, I don't know why you deceive yourself that he does. Anyway, the unpredictable zone right now is middle belt hence, I keep emphasizing he should focus on gaining their votes rather than wasting his time on yorubas. The middle belt has always been the deciding factor in every presidential election. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

ORIENTATION101: In2015, Yorubas went for Ambode and Igbos led the pack that pitched their tent with Agbaje, and what was the margin of victory for Ambode? Thin hair victory of 100k votes. That is the delicate ethnic population pattern of Lagos. People should also look at the ACTUAL voting in 2015...SW gave Buhari 2.3million and SE gave GEJ 2.4 million votes. Food for thought. In any event, Yoruba has nothing to loose in this permutation. Osinbajo is already there. It is only Atiku that has got everything to loose. 3 Likes 1 Share |

So much that even the South west and everyone in Nigeria will benefit. How can they be talking about marginalization with out mentioning that a South westerner, Obasanjo was in power for 8 years and even wanted to plot for another 4 years extra. Are they saying Obasanjo is not one of them? |

These ethnic permutations are not necessary. Atiku/NOI is a good one already. Over 40% of voters in Lagos for example are non-Yorubas. Atiku will get at least 45% of the total votes in Lagos alone and over 80% in the South East. 1 Like |

The fight for who becomes Nigeria's president will be fought in the north. Because the southern part has already voted and polarised between APC in South West and PDP in South East + South South. The Yorubas are deceitful ,even if Atiku give SW VP slot they will still vote PMB so that in 4years time PMB will support Tinubu or his stooge as president instead of voting Atiku which will make them VP for like 8years . But there is a law sign by PMB on the tenure of a Vice President who govern with a president to be 1 term. So Atiku will do 1term. The south east is the rightful region for that Atiku VP position considering that the South East will not only deliver the South East for Atiku but they are across Nigeria and they all push more votes for Atiku. Atiku just need to win more votes from the North not south. Yoruba 6states are APC states already. South east has 5 states that will support Atiku South South 6 Will vote PDP. 11 south south +south east is greater than 6 APC states in South. Real battle is in the north. Should Atiku choose Sw VP. East will vote another party but not APC Summary this is why Nigeria needs restructuring so that during elections Nigerians will not be hating themselves 4 Likes 1 Share |

AyakaDunukofia: All yorubas voted Ambode and all igbos voted Agbaje leading to a difference of 100k... Lol, how does that sound in your ear. Who taught you set theory, don't be too naive with your poor permutations...so Agbaje had no Yoruba supporters in Lagos? I was only reading the comments but could not stand one with a dump analysis like this that I had to comment. Believe it or not, igbos have no political relevance in Lagos, most of them disappea to their villages during elections. The few igbos left plus the yorubas gave agbaje his votes yet he lost. 2 Likes |

TundeBricklayer: So far from this argument you are the most practicable cos you back your argument with facts. In fact so much that you don't even need to speak as your pictorial evidence has spoken VOLUMES for you. APC winning in north cos of Buhari is a northerner. Now that Atiku is there. He will share the votes there with Buhari. Atiku gets 60% from north, gets 40% from SW, gets 90% from SE, gets 90% from SS, gets 70% from middle belt. Congrats Atiku you're the next president of Nigeria with Iweala as your vice president. This is practical. 4 Likes 1 Share |

at this critical time I have said it incessantly, miscalculation from Atiku this time we silent him forever. no southwesterners will vote for north/east presidency not even PDP members in all southwest States because they will see it as political sideline against southwest having said that, if Atiku pick from southwest he must picked a popular, stainless, and a man loved from southwest. as things unfold when atiku pick southwest. as VP, 2019 is a win win for southwest and if atiku didn't pick sw as VP then their full support to APC can make atiku to go on exile with depression I saw restructuring in atiku manifestoes. write it down, atiku won't and can't restructure Nigeria even towards the kick start of his Campaign he would drop it as northerners won't vote for him 1 Like |

It took APC by surprise. They had to rally through the use of fraud to win the election. My point is all these projections are like Pre world cup analysis. Germany was the bookmakers favourite.
