Seun, INEC to take note of this comment.

SuperStriker:


You're a liar to say that Igbos don't have to 1m voters in the entire SW.

SuperStriker:


Thank God you agree

rahazaqa:
You were being sensible from the beginning until your 8th point, this same mistake all of you have been making. Do you live in SW? Have you ever voted in SW? How many Igbo dey vote for SW? Let's assume, the few Igbos in Lag will have gut to troop out to vote for Atiku, you think same will happen in Ogun, Osun, Oyo and the rest? I have voted in different polling units in SW and i have never met any Igbo person on the line. Even in 2015, they could not do anything to help Gej but you think you can do more for Atiku. Some of you even said Igbos represent 50% of the voters in SW. Wonderful.

Moreso, if Igbos makes up to 30% population in SW, then lets agree that other tribes like Hausa, Edo, and the rest make up another 30%, so you mean Yoruba does not make up to 45% of the population in SW? Wonderful.

danie09:
my point is most of those non yorubas will also vote for APC .but the decider in all geopolitical zones will always be the locals

Buterflyle0:


You still don't understand anything obviously.

He would focus more on the SW because he feels the SE is already his.

This singular SELFISH action from him would effectively mean the SE would NEVER get a shot at Presidency for another 16 years if not more.

My focus is not on the SW but on the obvious choice he has to selfishly make so he can shore up on votes from the SW which happens to have twice the number of voters the South East has.

Numbers is everything at the polls and he needs those numbers badly

Even though he would still not get the needed numbers, he still has to try.

PDP has been forced because of Buhari to field a northerner due to high northern votes. They will also be forced to field a South westerner as VP due to high votes from SW as against the SE.

I am a political genious so don't argue with me in this area. The choices are already well defined

SuperStriker:


SW votes will be split whether Atiku takes a VP from the SW or SE.

He should get a firm grip of the SE & SS.

NotJustOkay:


Don't mind the fools. How many non-indigenes vote in elections? why didnt they give gej 5m votes in the north since ohaneze claimed there are 11m ibos in the north? I'm a politician myself, we tell foreigners in our domain who to vote for or they don't vote at all.

ORIENTATION101:
honestly the way these online igbos hype themselve in yorubaland makes me confused like is it not south west that i was born and brought up.
one of them here even said out of 14 million voters here in south west 8 millions re igbos
bro i worked for inec in 2007 2011 2015 i cant confirm to you igbos voters re not up to 1 million.

you hardly see their names on the list for accreditations. just try and go round your state on election day with observers and confirm this. honestly this lies re ridiculous

ORIENTATION101:
i [s]telling you the fact the largest concentration of igbos voters in south west is lagos they re not up to 300 000.
i work for inec in 3 seperate election years 2007 2011 2015 only few igbos participate in election here in lagos.forget about nairaland noise here .
igbos couldnt save jimi agbaje after promising to upgrade eze ndigbo .[/s]

Daboomb:


Its NEVER gionna happen, mark my words and bookmark this thread till wednesday.

Eitherway, PDP will still lose the election!

Atiku would not make the mistake of picking his VP from the East. He hopes the Votes of the West will tip him over the bar.
WHY?
- SEast has small voting population compared to the West

- He knows the East does not really like the North that much and wont risk the wrath of the SWest


Even if he picks his VP from the SWest, can that person be more "intelligent" than Osinbajo?
The West will stil not vote for Atiku. he is a wanted criminal and the West dont tolerate such scumbags.

Will that mean they would vote for Buhari?
Thats a 50-50 because he is stuck with osinbajo.
A lot of S/Westerners will not vote for Buhari due to his Nepotism, support for the terrorist herdsmen and his fulanisation Agenda.
Ofcourse, the East too will not vote for him anyway.

Buterflyle0:


Please get your rant right before you toss it about. This has absolutely nothing to do with Yorubas. It has EVERYTHING to do with Atiku and PDP with the choices they feel would selfishly work for them

For the entire 16 years PDP was in power they had 4 inaugurations and at no time during these inauguration did they look the way of an SE candidate. The blame is solely on PDP and nobody else.

Now the same PDP is about to repeat another inauguration and also sideline those from the SE while fielding a northern candidate who would surely want to run for 2 terms. The blame is solely on PDP.

If they choose to give the VP slot to the SW are we to reject it? Why would we?

High northern votes forced them to field a northern candidate with the hopes of eating into it.

High SW votes would also force them to want to pick a VP from the SW. Whose fault is it?

The SE themselves only want to have an entitlement nature to everything. Align with those that can help you push your agenda of Presidency forward but your hatred would never let you all reason sensibly.

You cursed all other regions including the Fulani's and now karma has blessed you with a Fulani whom you are all now looking up to for scraps of VP to fall from his table the irony of life.

Play politics of trust and not disloyalty. Align and stop hating and maybe...just maybe the rest of the nation can learn to trust you again.

Stop blaming the yorubas we are not Nnamdi Kanu.

SuperStriker:
Sanchez01, your analysis is flawed and let me tell you why:

1. [s]It is common knowledge that there are millions of Igbos in the SW especially Lagos, there's no argument about this. The 14m voters in the region are not all Yoruba. Millions are Igbos. Check the numbers in the SW between Jonathan and Buhari in 2015. Also check the numbers between Ambode and Agbaje in the same year to confirm this.[/s]

2. Even if Atiku picks a VP from the SE, Yoruba votes would be split between Buhari and Atiku. Same thing will happen if he picks a VP from the SW, some Yourubas will still vote for Buhari. It won't make much difference.

3. Atiku cannot risk voter apathy in the SE & SS regions. If he makes the mistake, APC will quickly take advantage and run him over.

4. Many Yoruba are already tired of Buhari and the fraudulent change. There's so much frustration in the land. Many will vote for Atiku even if he picks a VP from the SE.

Oga u know nada
For u to think or insinuate that the votes of the sw are yoruba votes .it means you dont know Nigéria at all
The igbos are wildly spread in Nigéria with huge population in the sw n North.
Só u shud not take this statistic for granted.
I think the argument shud be focused on igbos vs yoruba n not sw vs se thats the mistake a lot of ppl n analyst are making.

goaldynman:
Why I don't want to dissipate my energy arguing everyday who should be picked the Vice President is that all these fake news are emanating from Southwest's Lagos -Ibadan Expressway Media propaganda trying to deceive and coerce Atiku to pick his VP from southwest! However, take the following points from me:

1. Even if Atiku pick his VP from southwest, it will not have any impact on the vote he will get from southwest. The southwest will still vote APC because they plotting to grab power as soon as 2023 instead of voting Atiku and wait a longer period till 2027.

2. If Atiku pick his VP from southwest, he will not get any vote from southeast and South-South! This will be the beginning of his failure.

3. If Atiku pick his VP from southwest, he will not get any financial support from southeast Governors and southsouth Governors. We all know the Southwest does not have any PDP Governor to support him during the election!

4. Southwest at the moment does not have any credible PDP member to be chosen a VP! Is it Fayose or Fani Kayode?

5. Southeast has been the greatest support of PDP even when southwest abandoned the party!

6. Southwest ruled the Country under PDP for 8yrs. So all these mundane talk that PDP marginalised them is arrant nonsense!

7. Virtually all those fabricating and peddling these fake news and calling Atiku to choose his VP from southwest are APC agents attempting to lure Atiku into making the greatest mistake of his political life!

8. Igbos residing in Southwest are monumental (about 30% of people residing in Southwest are Igbos) and will vote massively for Atiku if he choose his VP from southeast.

9. Southeast delegates voted massively for Atiku while southwest delegates voted for Tambuwal in anticipation of the latter making Fayose his VP!

10. Lastly, it is very wicked, selfish, greedy and evil for Southwest to be angling for VP position of PDP! Having ruled under the party in the person of their son Obasanjo; and their son Osinbajo having been VP for 4yrs now! Still they are plotting to take over from Buhari in 2023! Is southwest the only Nigerians in the Southern part of Nigeria? So to them, southeasterners are slaves and does not deserve any political post? This is sheer wickedness in high places!

SuperStriker:


I am not disputing that.

I am telling you that many Yourubas are willing to give Atiku a chance seeing the deplorable state Nigeria is currently in.

With or without a SW VP, Yoruba votes will split.

Fawklicant:


Ignore the small boy. Like he has any say. Mtscheewww!!!

Hotfreezer:


Bro, no need to let the cat out of the bag. Those who are kicking the SE about like a sagging scrotum know how worthless the SE is compared to the SW.

The truth is this: the SW has the capacity to swing election results and has been doing this. The SE on the other hand is very predictable and this predictability is a problem for them.

NairalandGod:
I was telling a friend some days back that no matter what happens, SE will always be the biggest losers. Even a baby will play politics better than them.

KanwuliaMama, how far?

Hahahaha the story is beginning to change

SE about to be MARGINALIZED by their lord and savior Atiku again

When a failure like Atiku is running from other failures in the SE then know that the matter is bad

2019 will be a year of immense laughter for PMB. Its a done deal

Bolustical:


So, who did the SW vote for in 2003, 2007 and 2011 Presidential elections? APC abi?

You people are just politically senile.

danie09:
then I will have to conclude you don't know much about the Yoruba's .they would have easlily swing towards kwakwanso ,tanbuwal or any other contestant with the exception of atiku and saraki and saraki for the obvious reason that he's desperate and not trustworthy. You can ask around most Yoruba's hate obasanjo with passion. And his only crime is that they believe his 8years civilian rule was riddled with massive looting and self enrichment and he neglected his region in terms of development and they also tag atiku to his sins cos they ruled together. Except only if atiku is ready to invest billions into vote buying .he might not get any tangible vote from the west and mind you all 6states are now APC controlled ..

NotJustOkay:


[s]You would have made sense if igbos were able to give Gej 1m votes in kano in 2015 since your population in kano is 4m according to ohaneze.

Voting population is diff from actual population. igbo voting population in sw is not up to 300k[/s].

Go and sit down somewhere. US DOJ has said clearly they don't have anything against Atiku in their prosecution list. Watch out how your paid master will be disgraced at the pools next year since he doesn't know when to quit.

Point out the lie wawa. How many millions did you give Gej in kano in 2015?
