leksite120: This guy is from the so called North,ad you think his analysis is one sided. You people fail to understand the North. The North Muslims don't have the numbers they claim, atleast we saw it 2011, where they all voted Buhari and he lost by 12 million votes, if the South and Northern Christians are united, the Northern Muslims will not smell presidency again. The North noticed this, then they reached out to Tinubu and Ameachi to break the South votes. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

In Essence Obi and Jangabandit are losing and Atiku is going to win. Atiku is going to win South-South including Edo the Obidients are happy about. Win in Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia. We will leave Anambra for them and our man Obi. we will just get our percentage and move. Win in Oyo, Osun and Ondo. Clear the North Central convincingly. Win in Kaduna , Kano (not by a wide margin), Katsina, Sokoto(convincingly) and either of Kebbi or Jigawa. * North East will be an easy ride. Wake-up, there's no Buhari again. It's Atiku against a Lagos champion and a good man who will be our Economic minister(Obi). You're in Lagos, you're shouting Obi will clear SE. Don't go and vote in your states oo. North will move sharpaly |

Buddha3:Lagos State is the highest voting state in the south for obvious reasons. And account for Atleast 50% of the total votes of the South West. But some people are mistaking it for Tinubu votes. Osinbajo of the apc lost his polling unit to pdp in lekki in 2019. That says it all. 3 Likes |

CSTRR:in Nigeria election, 4 regions are mostly dormant. SS SE, NW, NE. There are two regions deviod of nepotism. SW and NC. Now go back and check. Jonathan won all these regions. Also note 2011 cases of rigging was overly possible cos of no card readers hence the reason states like anambra were all having million votes. 1 Like |

babayinka77: I like the last few lines that assert the fact that without restructuring nothing good can emerge from this tired process of elections. For those who believe Peter Obi as being the best candidate (and perhaps rightly so) the fact that 'the system/structure' has to push him to 'play the religious card' just to gain traction/traffic shows that successful leadership is just a mirage. For if he gets there by this fact/strategy he will have to rule/govern by this strategy and poof goes all the lofty ideals/ideas. They will all have to be sacrificed on the altar of religious expediency. For you cannot train with cats and then act with dogs, it won't work. Nigeria can only progress if we collectively and simultaneously agree to surrender our armoury of sentiment to kill with finality all mutual suspicion that has led to mutual destruction the past 60 years. We need to start true ISSUE based politicking indeed. 1 Like |

On point analysis, i have said said it over time,the south and south east have the strongest voting strengths and their voting patterns have remained same over the years, i see nothing changing in this election. If obi can get up to 80% vote from south south and south east, with 40% vote from the north central, he might likely win the election, don't allow anybody to deceive you ,northern votes are for Atiku and kwankwaso,go to BBC hausa Facebook page and confirm for yourself. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Re: The Misconception About Votes From Northern Nigeria by efepeppereski: 8:42am On Aug 01, 2022 |
I am happy this is coming to light. I keep telling people that we give too much credit to the core North. Those guys cannot decide who will be the president of Nigeria all by themselves. Anybody that can win SE, SW, SS, and NC can become president of Nigeria without NW n NE. I am still surprised why the middle belt align with the core North without benefiting anything politically. The simple issue is that the South does not votes due to voter's apathy. Not the South, even Christains. If everyone votes according to their faith, Peter Obi will win this election before 12:00 o clock on election day. There are about 10 states in the SS n SE that are nearly 100 per cent Christains. In fact, there are more christain majority states in Nigeria than Muslim majority states. There is no single state in Nigeria without indigenous christain population. I hope this Muslim Muslim ticket will galvanize Christains to come n vote in 2023. This Muslim Muslim ticket is a slap on the face of christains in Nigeria. APC took the christain community for granted because christains don't vote. They will never try fielding a christain christain ticket because of that is a sure guarantee for losing an election. 1 Like |

Oghene1st: I laugh at South low self esteem, the North don't have the numbers when you remove Christians vote from the North. We saw it in 2011. The North Muslims won't smell presidency if the South and North Christians vote in one voice. |

[quote author=Omicron007 post=115258506][/quote] ur analysis about north is nothing but a big lie. 1stly who made Obasanjo president?. Northerners!.since 1999 PDP has a good political party structure in the north or in Nigeria atlarge.When Buhari was contesting it's only masses that liked Buhari but almost all the northern governors are in PDP and they are always working for their party victory at elections,thats the major reason why Buhari is contesting and failing till 2015 when some PDP governors work out and formed merger with APC. All of you internet analyst your eyes will clear after the election because by then you will all understand what's called party structure because Peter Obi is going no where!!! 1 Like |

[quote author=Omicron007 post=115258506][/quote] Your analysis is cut out of reality and it is flawed. Maybe because you want to cede it to Obi. But listen man. In 2011, the election that Buhari lost to Jonathan, Buhari lost Abuja, Kogi and Kwara as swing states that we could still count as part of the North by virtue of demographic designs. Gej had about 58.9% in Abuja, 71.17% in Kogi and 68.7% approx in Kwara. Gej even went ahead to win Nasarawa in a landslide form and plateau about 72% then Taraba about 61%. He also won Borno about 77%. Whereas the rest of the votes were shared by Buhari CPC, Nuhu Ribadu ACN and Sekarau of NNPP. Whereas Jonathan went ahead to clear all the Southern votes. Among all the aforementioned states, the only places Buhari had tangible votes were Kwara 20%, Kogi about 23.5%, plateau and Taraba 25.2% and 34.9% respectfully. Don’t let me forget that Buhari had 40.0% in Nasarawa. All the southern states(south south, south east and south west) he lost woefully. The highest he had in those states was Lagos maybe 9.2% or so. Yet Buhari had about 12 M Votes from the core north excluding Borno. And he had just about 360k of the south. Remove 360k of the south from the votes and make a calculation. Voting strength is indeed, without equivocal doubt is in the core north of Kastina, Kano and Borno and others. We can’t shy away from that fact. Politicians make their calculations very well before elections by and large it can favorite them or mar them. It will take a 7th wonder of the world miracle for Obi to win the election. 2 Likes |

Kano, Kaduna and maybe Katsina are the only States you have that number, while in the South, Rivers, Cross River, Lagos, Anambra also have that number.

Re: The Misconception About Votes From Northern Nigeria by Vote4ObiDatti: 9:14am On Aug 01, 2022 |
The writer is absolutely right! North does not have the four aces as they've been trying to portray. The middle belt that used to vote along with them have increasingly detached itself in recent times. Looking critically at the voting pattern map, one can easily deduce that the areas that hitherto voted for Atiku are now firmly behind Obi. In other words, Atiku no longer has any base except he moves to secure new base(s). This situation has now directly pitched him against Tinubu and maybe Kwankwaso i.e. if he eventually contests without dropping for others. Here is the demography of the likely voting pattern next year. SS, SE, Abuja, and Christians in Middle Belt and SW are overwhelmingly going to vote for Obi. Nigerian workers too regardless of ethnic or religious considerations will also want to vote for Labour Party. SW, particularly the Muslims, parts of NW & NE will vote for Tinubu. Aside Yoruba Muslims, no other demography will vote Tinubu overwhelmingly because he would definitely share votes with Atiku & Kwankwaso (if he doesn't withdraw from the race) in the core Muslim parts of NW and NE. What these statistics mean in essence is that while Obi has his support base firmly in his hands, Tinubu and Atiku on the other hand will have to fight with each other and should there be a stalemate i.e. the two of them checkmating each other in NW and NE, then Obi automatically has the advantage. With the momentum Obi's movement is gathering, there is no doubt he would eventually hold the entire SS and SE on lockdown and same will happen with Christians of the North, especially as Bachir Lawal and Yakubu Dogara continues to create awareness in the region. If elections are held today, Obi will likely win. To worsen the predicament of his two main rivals, he continues to gain in popularity while the others continue to lose grounds. 1 Like |

[quote author=Omicron007 post=115258506][/quote] Thank you for this. It is a true write up....this is the absolute truth. Some mischievous people have been trying to change the narrative use fake cooked up propaganda but the truth will always prevail. The south has upper hands. Just imagine how the game will change if the SE&SS overturn voter aparthy and their hug e communities out their zone votes in mass. The truth will show. They know this that is why they start the discouragement of southern voters during registration and using propaganda of imaginery northern voters strength. In all every region needs each other to win so no region should be feeling more important. 2 Likes |
