Have u ever heard of something called 25% of votes cast in 24 States before? Surely not because if you had, you wouldn't say the rubbish you just posted.

Also, maybe jonathan knows something you don't that made him postpone elections by 6 weeks to enable him go on a begging spree in the SW

This man is great. He always says the truth, no matter how unpopular it is.
In fact, he is the most honest northern politician in this country. Forget Buhari, Balarabe Musa is the deal.

mumu go an vote bulala be must then..my president will surely be ur president come may 29..tanoids indomie brains

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.

Spot on! Or as some will put it. Gbam!

Balarabe is a mmad old fuul with baboon nyash4mouth,he shld register his useless party & contest & see if he will poll 1000 votes,is it a beans 4 a man 2 pull 11milln votes with a 4mnths old party?who can be more popular than that?puck 25% GMB is our prsdnt he is unstoppable haters shld go & hang.

what d Bleep is wrong with you? Aldershoot n u.s war collect where places where buhari went for military training. Those are not schools where j get normal education....

Millions of Nigerians do not even know the meaning of the word illiterate. smh

You that knows, why not tell us?

If they ask you now, you'll say an illiterate is someone without a certificate abi?

Indeed everything is wrong with you

Balarabe that is talking should revive his dead party,contest an election and see if he will win.despite all igbo hatred for buhari there diff groups have started demanding this that FCTminister ,there elders have being visiting despite there open hatred for the man b4 the elections. for the person commenting saying igbo leave in the best part of Lagos and yorubas in quarter keep deceiving your self do u have statistics for hpuse andland owners in Lagos
.keep deceiving yourselves.igbo always claming to richer than every other tribe yet they can neither stay in their region nor develop it always running out yet clame to have developed this that.always claiming to be richer and better than other yet when report of crime in Indonesia Malaysia china come we know who is always involved 80% of the time

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 . He needs to do sth about that when he assumes power.....a priceless advice.

i am sure you are bereft of ideas that is why you open your mouth wide to speak gbosh( rubbish). If it was a regional mandate then GMB would not have won the election because votes only from the north would have left him defeated!

kropotkin2:
your mother's?

Do u have one?

ShowYourCertificate:
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.

Lets even assume GMB dropped out. Do know how many world leaders are school dropouts? Do you know how many business and global leaders are dropouts?

GMB didn't fashion the constitution you know? Take your grievance to NASS my friend

You try since Buhari is now Okorocha and has rule Imo state before. By the way are you not aware that APC rigged massively in the north ? Again was Buhari harassed anywhere in the south ? but happened to GEJ in the North ?

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.

like those igbo guys selling gala in lagos go slows and ur girls doing 'ashewo work' in run down hotels.Na six triangle meals indeed.Osu self dey talk,yeye dey smell.

I think you re wrong about some things,how do u expect him to have a 90% win when a sitting President also contested in the election who was dolling out the dollars from the federation treasury? what made you think those that didn't vote ain't for Buhari since he doesn't have the power to influence the sharing of PVCs like the president does? and as for IMO se ss I can tell it to u that even with ethnic and religious sentiments existing in those region just like the north, many wanted Gej out but they were suppressed by the power of the presidency just like the situation in Rivers..but anyways the die has been cast and whether popular or no popular ,we all know the winner and the decision of the people remains .

Lol, why are u answering for me

An illiterate is someone who puts words into another persons mouth....Lol.

And who says if all 7illion people voted in the elections more than 50million wont vote for buhari. A good reference will be how people were jubilating in all parts of the country. This includes both voters and none voters who would have voted buhari. So wht are they saying?

If by now you pple have not come to terms with Buhari's victory, then u are free to go on exile or jump into the lagoon.

When I consider the tears being shed by APGA today and the resounding victory of Okorocha, I am obligated to discoubtenance the results of march 28 in the SE and SS

Yeah, because buhari should have swept 100% of votes everywhere as the anointed "change" Messiah he is....

Does sw have 24 states?

A presidential candidate can win an election n yet not get 25%; votes in d south west.

Yes woooh! Balarabe Musa, and you to your IMPEACHMENT AS THE FIRST AND THE ONLY IMPEACHED GOVERNOR IN THE HISTORY OF KADUNA STATE was also a POPULAR MANDATE >:

But you will accept the ones from the north?

HE lost woefully in the SE and SS because elections in those places were a sham. Imagine when almost all SE and SS states with the exception of Edo had an average voter turn out of 75% meanwhile the average voter turn out in the North was 48%. Think of what would have happened if Kano, Katsina and Kaduna decide to inflate their figures in GMB's favour. Nigerians should be objective and not come here to waste your mb spewing gibberish

ShowYourCertificate:
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.

Read your comment again especially the bolded part.

How does living in another mans land make your own homeland better.

It would have been better you didn't include it at all or you rather refer to Enugu or Anambra.

Better indeed for your mind.

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...

Our democracy indeed needs to improve.

Regional electoral college result does not determine popular victory.Regional victory is determine in slides. If he has won all regions, it will be termed landslide. Popular vote is determine by numbers of people (voters) a candidate wins.
In country of 170 millions. Eligible voters unknown.
Registered voters 70millions.
Voters only 28millions.
Buhari voters, only 15 millions.
Jonathan voters, only 13 millions .
Buhari only got 8.8% of total population.
Buhari only got 21% of registered voters.
Buhari got 53% of total votes cast.

You cannot claim popular mandate with 8.8% of population, or with only 21% of registered voters voting for you.
Buhari victory is marginal at best from pre-selected voters by Jega.

agabaI23:
But you will accept the ones from the north?

My friend, when I remember that a whole prof lost his ability to read numbers when it came to results from rivers state, then I'll trust the results from the north more.

When I remember that no single result from a single PU was known or released by INEC for almost 3 days from most of the SS and SE states, then I'm inclined to believe the results were being cooked.

When I remember the extreme violence in the SS yet rivets state having 75% voter turnout, then I an obligated to disbelieve that result

Could he have won if he didn't get 25% in any SW state as he didn't get in 2011?

izu777:
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.
