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.

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.

With the cooked result produced from d SE bah. Who cares, the constitution only demand for 25% of 2/3 of the States. Cry me ocean.

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?

your mother's?

Ask ur fore fathers that used poly bags to pack their loads to the south western states to hawk matches on our street. Ask your father if u have one, how magnanimous Yoruba people are.

Re: Buhari's Victory, Not A Popular Mandate - Northern Statesman by Reference(m): 6:50am On Apr 27, 2015
Buhari the candidate was not the sole cause of voter apathy. It had much to do with the cumbersome electoral system, the overheating of the polity by both parties and the lack of faith in government as a whole as exemplified by the out going regime. Having said that Buhari has some doubts revolving around his persona particularly with the older generation who know him through and through and feel he will just not tick enough boxes by the end of his tenure.

However it is heart warming to see doubts arise. Hopefully they grow to dissent and evolve into solid opposition to broaden and deepen democracy in the northern polity similar to what happened in the west and less successfully in the south-south under OBJ and GEJ respectively.

Without minding that he hailed from the same region with the president-elect, Balarabe Musa, an elder statesman has said Buhari's victory in the March 28 presidential polls does not reflect the wish of the generality of Nigerians. He said an election won on a shortfall of 42 million registered voters isn't a reflection of the true will of the people. Only 28 million of the total 70 million registered voters took active participation in the election.

The national chairman of the de-registered Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), said, Buhari has a mandate but not popular, he therefore wants the president-elect to form a government which will comprise all political parties. The former governor of old Kaduna state said, the only fortunate thing about the just concluded polls is that Nigeria is not divided despite anxieties before the elections.

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

What percentage of the population voting makes a vote popular? 12% voted in 2011 even with 4million multiple registration which inec weeded out this year.

When next you wish to bleat on a public forum, at least get those who know to educate you. MKO Abiola had 8million votes in 1993 while Tofa had 6million. Nothing landslide about it but the political commentators didnt bleat about it not being popular because unlike you, they understood what a popular vote meant.

Concerning spread, if the goons who went on a shooting spree in the SS had been reined in by brother Jonathan and his enforcers, surely Buhari would have gotten more votes than what your ogas choose to allocate him. If also the desperate rigging witnessed in the SE which even APGA, a PDP subsidiary couldn't stomach, the results would have been different.
