You are not only dull, but you are also a political illiterate who ended up embarrassing himself in a bid to have a say in politics.
Sw never supported Obasanjo in 1999 and 2003 respectively.
You guys got stuck with AD that metamorphosed to AC and ACN before the alliance between ACN and CPC in 2013/2014, hence APC.
In fact, SW has been in opposition since 1999 to
2015

Osu illiterate. Chack 2003, 2007, 2011, 1993 results before saying what is above your brain capacity.

This animal is equating presidential elections to gubernatorial elections. Even PDP won all SW states in 2003 except Lagos. Google before embarrassing your ipob lineage on the internet.

Osu pig. Seems you left your ipob cave in 2015. Elections have been held in Nigeria since the 50s. Quit saying what you don't know.

SW supported Jonathan in 2011, Obansanjo in 2003, abiola in 1993, yaradua in 2007 and buhari in 2015 and they all won.


Kindly post a picture of your current location and let me post mine and let's see who lives in a cave between the both of us.


You are a dunce, its like the juju your mother used in holding your father to marry her by force is still messing with your brain.

1999 - Yoruba didn't support their own son OBJ. They supported one worthless Yorubastard that I don't care to remember his name and the bastard lost


2003 - OBJ rigged Yoruba votes


2007 - Yoruba and Tinubu supported Ribadu


2011 - Everybody supported Goodluck except northwest region, Yoruba support wasn't special because igbo , ijaw, idoma, etc supported Goodluck. And Yoruba were sidelined because they are useless

2015 - the only time Yoruba supported a candidate and he won and they still got sidelined because they are forever useless

What makes you think he isnt? dude you live in your SE apartment and have no idea what goes on here. From the NE to the NW, Atiku has always been hated in the north (Long before 2015). If you think otherwise then i challenge you to show me any proof that he is influential in the North like Buhari. I keep telling you people that its only Kwankwaso that can manage up to 40% of northern votes against Buhari. That is because he has a level of support unlike atiku


Sharap there Atiku isn't despised in the North. I have northern friends. And they are divided between voting Atiku or voting Buhari. Isn't that exactly what PDP wants? To split northern votes

Buhari knows he has already lost but he will also refuse to concede defeat.

He simply hopes to use INEC to announce fake results and use the Nigerian army to shoot protesters.

2019 will be very bloody because of Buhari's plan to use the army against the people's verdict.

People hearing you talk this junk will think no northerner is in PDP,yet Atiku,Kwakwanso,Makarfi,Tambuwal e.t,c are all PDP northerners...There is even a Honourable Lawal i know in Abuja representing a constituent in Kaduna,an in-law of buhari who decamped from APC to PDP some months back..he has won a senatorial seat and is now a staunch supporter of Atiku and PDP

Kindly speak for an inconsequential APC Talakawas like you cos there are northerners who support PDP and Atiku..

The 'Atiku is Igbo candidate' bullshittt is the trash you and your diuble-tongued Yoruba side-kicks coined on nairaland to cover up your acute pain,anxiety,and aprehensions at the thought of being denied your 30k BMC feeding bottle..

I can see the frustration written all over you. When you talk about kwankwaso you are talking about an ambitious person that is looking for presidency so much that he can join amy party and unless you want to be hypocritical as you ipoop people are known to be, you will see that i have always acknowledged that Kwankwaso has supporters even though i dont really like him much.
Since you want to be unreasonable i can help you. Who the eff are the easterners when we have okorocha? Its only namdi kanus urine drinkers that support atiku but real igbos want Buharigrin.

You ate right, there are some 20% northers who support atiku. Let them give him the presidency. Atiku is already an igbo candidate. You can drink detol if you like. He is already being percieved as such

Armaggedon:
Truth is one of the most difficult pills to swallow but it’s indispensible anyway. Some Igbos have joined the bandwagon without asking some important questions. Here are reasons atiku can never win 2019 elections

He is not what some people think.

It is obvious from his recent history that he is just as integrity challenged as every other politician we have always complained about. From the PDP to AC, then to CAN. From ACN to PDP then again to APC and to PDP. Such talks about a detribalized man shouldn’t be taken seriously cos aside the fact that no Nigerian is detribalized, most of the reasons his supporters give to back up their claims are also true about Buhari and even more. An example is the claim that he had an Igbo running mate in 2007, but Buhari has had two Igbo running mates. Also people claim he has an Igbo wife but they forgot the claim that Buhari has an Igbo cook, an Igbo pilot and an Igbo daughter in-law, yet his administration has been the most anti Igbo since after the civil war. If we can accept him based on these then we could have accepted Buhari even more in 2015. Moreover, we know that he has never been a fan of restructuring unlike the likes of late Alex Ekwueme, Bola Tinubu etc. He only started flaunting the word lately without spelling out in details the forms it will take and the blueprint to achieve it. Yet, some of our people seem to be swallowing it. Most northerners and westerners believe they’ll lose in an event of restructuring. Some have even spoken against it openly. Why are our people behaving like they sighned a pact with him? Why then should some of our people believe a northerner can disfavor his people to please us? Do our people think he will not need the support of the north if he dares win, and will not do everything including retaining the status quo to pacify them?

Incumbency Factor

Buhari has contested election several times and rejected the results. It is diffult to believe that a man who instigated post election violence in 2011 and has rebuffed several advice not to contest will ‘allow’ himself to lose now that he has INEC, police, DSS, military, civil defence and religion to use. These institutions are all headed by his kinsmen, including INEC. Again, Most PDP governors need these institutions commanded by the president in order to secure their second term and will likely cut underhand deals with Buhari to support him secretly. The fact that jonathan’s loss was a first time occurrence is what our people seem to have forgotten. Lightening never strikes twice in the same place. Ekiti, Edo, and Osun election have proven that Buhari now has power and 2015 free and fair election ‘mistake’ won’t be repeated.

IPOB factor

Igbos have been voting since the the end of the war but things have only gotten worse and worse. No jobs, no power, no security, no roads and infrastructure in the east. In fact many people believe that the east is under a de-facto blockade by the Nigerian establishment which atiku that our people ignorantly support is part of. As a result most Igbos believe that pressing for a Biafran referendum through election boycott is the only way to eliminate suspicion among ethnic groups which hinders development and bring development to our people. South east and south south are supposed to be Atiku’s stronghold, but Ipob has called for election boycott. They have come to represent the aspiration of the people of our regions in the last three yrs. If you doubt it, at least accept that they command the majority public opinion in our region which they have demonstrated through sit-at-home and protests. The truth is that the Igbos are beginning to understand that Biafra is better and voting is useless in Nigeria. A vehicle like Nigeria which is broken beyond repair does not need a new driver, it needs dismemberment and only political jobbers think otherwise. Beside IPOB, facts on ground show that most Igbos were already fed up and were not too enthusiastic about the last election involving Jonathan which resulted in low turn-out, how much more atiku a northerner. In addition, this is the first time the election boycott will favor buhari’s immediate ambition and he is likely to support it subtlety, all to atiku’s disadvantage and Biafra’s gain.

Ethnicity

We all know Nigerian politics is ethnic politics. Most Igbos fail to realize that all these talks about development during campaigns is hogwash. This is even why Nigeria can never develop. Jonathan lost not because of anything bad but because the north and west felt he wasn’t part of the anti-Igbo establishment and the increasing suspicion that he will upturn things. Buhari still enjoys cult followership in the north west, north east and some parts of north central because of his ethnic group and religion. Only a little change occurred in the last three and half yrs. He is only likely to lose in plateau, benue and kwara and win in all other northern states. Most SW states are already in apc and will vote him with the hope of getting the presidency in 2023. As a result atiku will find himself in a dilemma in choosing vp. If he chooses an Igbo he is in trouble, if he chooses a Yoruba, he is in bigger trouble. Notherners know how to mobilize the rest of the country with anti Igbo sentiment. They’ll label him a Biafran supporter if he picks an Igbo and what happen in 2015 will repeat itself. Does it surprise you that arewa youths support an Igbo VP candidate for PDP but not For APC? If he pick Yoruba, the remaining moderate Igbos will dump him and obey boycott in protest.
If he has chosen Peter obi as being rumoured it is worse still for him. Remember the 2006 massob killings in Onitsha, the ezu river saga etc. Obi is neither a force to reckon with in PDP nor Anambra politics, not to talk of Igboland in general. He never won a senatorial seat in for Apga in 8yrs. Besides, All the PDP heavy weights like Chris Uba, Ulasi etc are against him, which was why he couldn’t win his ward for PDP during the 2017 election in Anambra. Again, Obi has been at loggerheads with Obiano his successor who now tacitly supports buhari. It’s difficult to see how Obiano will support him.

Foreign support

Both US and UK supported buhari’s candidacy in 2015. While it’s clear they US no longer supports him there is no evidence to suggest they are backing Atiku.

Igbos should open their eyes and follow Biafra whole-heartedly.you can’t want to win in Nigeria and still want to get Biafra. You can’t eat your cake and still have it. It’s called hypocrisy . leave election for Nigerias cos nothing will change whether you vote or not. It may appear like we are losing out in Nigeria but with focus we’ll win.

ATIKU VS BUHARI; WHITHER TILTS THE PENDULUM?*

No doubt both candidates above are formidable in their own right, but let's look at their individual strength; *this is purely my personal analysis*. Though I would have preferred a Dakwambo or a Tambuwal, but when the desirable is not available the available becomes the desirable. *This is not about social media noise of SAI BABA but the reality on ground!*

Let's consider the following points; why Atiku has a better advantage.

1. Atiku and Buhari are both Muslims and full blooded Fulanis, so the Hausa-Fulani ethnic stock, won't be concerned on who emerges.

2. The Northern Elders forum will always go for Atiku. Recall in 2007/2011, when the Northern Elders chaired by the late Ciroma, was faced with who to choose between Atiku, Aliyu Gusau, Buhari and Saraki, they unanimously choose Atiku; check records.

3. Integrity; Atiku has integrity issues so has Buhari; Before 2015, Buhari was viewed as a saint and has cult followership, but since, he was given that opportunity, he has not been able to deliver anything meaningful. Change sermon has seriously depleted and doesn't ring bell anymore. Besides Intels, Halliburton & Siemens scandal, APC doesn't have much against Atiku.

4. The Caliphate and Emirate council have withdrawn their support from Buhari. Recall that the Sultan of Sokoto was amongst the first to congratulate Tambuwal during his defection from APC to PDP. The Emir of Kano has always been an Ally of Atiku and he has been vocal against the misgovernance of this administration. Go and Write it down, once the Sultanate and Emirate is against your ambition in the core North, just go and rest.

5. Virtually all Notable religious leader in the North is against Buhari from Sheik Gumi, El ZakZaky, etc. They have been going everywhere campaigning against Buhari, regretting while they voted against Jonathan.

6. Military Establishment from Danjuma, IBB, Abdusalam, etc are already scared that PMB will turn into full scale dictatorship if re-elected. Besides OBJ, who may reconcile with Atiku in the next coming days, they will prefer anybody but PMB.

7. APC is currently in shambles right now. Consequent upon the primaries which is still going on as I write. Aisha Buhari has cried out, Governors Yari, Bello, Amosun, Akeredolu, El Rufai, etc are threatening brimstone and fire. I don't envy Oshiomole at all. Almost all the states APC is in control are having major crisis resulting from the conduct of the primaries. Adams automatic tickets to loyal Senators has backfired. Okorocha just returned himself and his son-in-law as Senatorial and guber aspirants respectively. And so on and so forth. I see this challenges snowball into unmanageable monumental crisis.
PDP to my astonishment achieved almost 90% rancour free primaries! And they will reap abundantly from the APC crisis!

8. Atiku political foray started more than 30years ago. You can see how he earlier rejected PH as venue for the convention, but later accepted and beat Wike to his game. The reason Atiku has not won the Presidency is because he has never emerged the candidate of a major National political party; ACN then was just a regional party. *With almost a limitless and unmatchable financial war chest, he will deploy his financial arsenal, knowing this is his last shot at the Presidency* I doubt if any politician as prepared as him.

9. The average Northerner likes power so much, whether they benefit or not. They know if PMB wins he has just 4 years, but if Atiku wins he might have 8 years. *I tell you with their penchant for love of power they might tilt towards Atiku because of another 8years!*

10. Recall that Atiku inherited the late Shehu Yaradua political machinery the SDM; even in Katsina he is loved because of this relationship. Most SDM members in other political parties will work for him. The roll call includes; IBB, Orji Uzor Kalu, Tony Anenih, Kingibe, Ibori, Lamido, Aliyu, etc.

11. The business establishment like banks, conglomerates, oil majors, magnates, business moguls, captains of industries, Importers/Exporters, etc will go for Atiku any day any time, you can take that to the bank

12. Religious bodies are already frustrated with PMB; There is no major Christian denomination who supported PMB in 2015, who are still with him now. From CAN, PFN, Oyedepo, Adeboye, Lazarus Mouka, Mbaka, Paul Enenche, Sulaiman, Bakare, etc has abandoned the change project. *Atiku will win majority Christian vote and divide Muslim vote with Buhari*

13. The Academia and the Labour movement have not hidden the direction they will go in 2019; it's almost anybody but Buhari.

14. Atiku's greatest selling point has been restructuring, but PMB doesn't even talk about it. The Southern and Middle Belt leaders will mobilise support for Atiku; Ohaneze, PANDEF, Afenifere, Middle Belt Forum, etc. Take my words to the bank!

15. Atiku will sweep votes from the North East; the sentiments are rife that no North-Eastern individual has ruled this country as President before! He will whip that sentiments massively. Watch Atiku, his propaganda campaign machinery might be second to none!

16. Just like PDP propaganda machine pushed PMB to victory in 2015, I see APC making a bigger blunder than PDP on Atiku. The way and manner they have started attacking Atiku even before campaign proper will eventually, endear Atiku more to the electorates. Remember how they lost Osun in the first round of voting regardless of the avalanche of attacks against Adeleke!

17. Geopolitical zonal permutations; SS & SE is already a given for Atiku. Atiku has always been a darling of the SW, besides the fact, that his most popular wife Titi is from there. In fact in the just concluded PDP National convention, the SW voted for him en block. Afenifere has been on the fore front of restructuring. In fact Pa Adebanjo, Reuben Fasoranti and Olu Falaye have said Atiku is the only candidate to implement restructuring. Middle Belt and North Central will go for Atiku. With the likes of IBB, Abdusalami, Saraki, Ortom, Useni, Mama Taraba, Mark, Gemade, Jonah Jang, etc leading the charge. They all believe Atiku is a moderate. NE is gone because of the earlier stated sentiments. NW votes will be splited; if Kwankwanso, Tambuwal, Lamido, Datti Ahmed, Turaki, Markafi, etc all agreed to work for Atiku, PMB will win NW, but Atiku will pick serious votes there. *Recall Zamfara is almost gone with Governor Yari defection few days away*

Let me stop here before I start answering questions, I don't have answers for.

2019 is very interesting; Muslim VS Muslim, Fulani VS Fulani, Former APC VS current APC, North VS North, money versus more money. This is my veiw from daks.

From CAN, PFN, Oyedepo, Adeboye, Lazarus Mouka, Mbaka, Paul Enenche, Sulaiman, Bakare, etc has abandoned the change project. *Atiku will win majority Christian vote and divide Muslim vote with Buhari*

13. The Academia and the Labour movement have not hidden the direction they will go in 2019; it's almost anybody but Buhari.

14. Atiku's greatest selling point has been restructuring, but PMB doesn't even talk about it. The Southern and Middle Belt leaders will mobilise support for Atiku; Ohaneze, PANDEF, Afenifere, Middle Belt Forum, etc. Take my words to the bank!

15. Atiku will sweep votes from the North East; the sentiments are rife that no North-Eastern individual has ruled this country as President before! He will whip that sentiments massively. Watch Atiku, his propaganda campaign machinery might be second to none!

16. Just like PDP propaganda machine pushed PMB to victory in 2015, I see APC making a bigger blunder than PDP on Atiku. The way and manner they have started attacking Atiku even before campaign proper will eventually, endear Atiku more to the electorates. Remember how they lost Osun in the first round of voting regardless of the avalanche of attacks against Adeleke!

17. Geopolitical zonal permutations; SS & SE is already a given for Atiku. Atiku has always been a darling of the SW, besides the fact, that his most popular wife Titi is from there. In fact in the just concluded PDP National convention, the SW voted for him en block. Afenifere has been on the fore front of restructuring. In fact Pa Adebanjo, Reuben Fasoranti and Olu Falaye have said Atiku is the only candidate to implement restructuring. Middle Belt and North Central will go for Atiku. With the likes of IBB, Abdusalami, Saraki, Ortom, Useni, Mama Taraba, Mark, Gemade, Jonah Jang, etc leading the charge. They all believe Atiku is a moderate. NE is gone because of the earlier stated sentiments. NW votes will be splited; if Kwankwanso, Tambuwal, Lamido, Datti Ahmed, Turaki, Markafi, etc all agreed to work for Atiku, PMB will win NW, but Atiku will pick serious votes there. *Recall Zamfara is almost gone with Governor Yari defection few days away*

Let me stop here before I start answering questions, I don't have answers for.

2019 is very interesting; Muslim VS Muslim, Fulani VS Fulani, Former APC VS current APC, North VS North, money versus more money. This is my veiw from daks.

Armaggedon:
Truth is one of the most difficult pills to swallow but it’s indispensible anyway. Some Igbos have joined the bandwagon without asking some important questions. Here are reasons atiku can never win 2019 elections

He is not what some people think.

It is obvious from his recent history that he is just as integrity challenged as every other politician we have always complained about. From the PDP to AC, then to CAN. From ACN to PDP then again to APC and to PDP. Such talks about a detribalized man shouldn’t be taken seriously cos aside the fact that no Nigerian is detribalized, most of the reasons his supporters give to back up their claims are also true about Buhari and even more. An example is the claim that he had an Igbo running mate in 2007, but Buhari has had two Igbo running mates. Also people claim he has an Igbo wife but they forgot the claim that Buhari has an Igbo cook, an Igbo pilot and an Igbo daughter in-law, yet his administration has been the most anti Igbo since after the civil war. If we can accept him based on these then we could have accepted Buhari even more in 2015. Moreover, we know that he has never been a fan of restructuring unlike the likes of late Alex Ekwueme, Bola Tinubu etc. He only started flaunting the word lately without spelling out in details the forms it will take and the blueprint to achieve it. Yet, some of our people seem to be swallowing it. Most northerners and westerners believe they’ll lose in an event of restructuring. Some have even spoken against it openly. Why are our people behaving like they sighned a pact with him? Why then should some of our people believe a northerner can disfavor his people to please us? Do our people think he will not need the support of the north if he dares win, and will not do everything including retaining the status quo to pacify them?

Incumbency Factor

Buhari has contested election several times and rejected the results. It is diffult to believe that a man who instigated post election violence in 2011 and has rebuffed several advice not to contest will ‘allow’ himself to lose now that he has INEC, police, DSS, military, civil defence and religion to use. These institutions are all headed by his kinsmen, including INEC. Again, Most PDP governors need these institutions commanded by the president in order to secure their second term and will likely cut underhand deals with Buhari to support him secretly. The fact that jonathan’s loss was a first time occurrence is what our people seem to have forgotten. Lightening never strikes twice in the same place. Ekiti, Edo, and Osun election have proven that Buhari now has power and 2015 free and fair election ‘mistake’ won’t be repeated.

IPOB factor

Igbos have been voting since the the end of the war but things have only gotten worse and worse. No jobs, no power, no security, no roads and infrastructure in the east. In fact many people believe that the east is under a de-facto blockade by the Nigerian establishment which atiku that our people ignorantly support is part of. As a result most Igbos believe that pressing for a Biafran referendum through election boycott is the only way to eliminate suspicion among ethnic groups which hinders development and bring development to our people. South east and south south are supposed to be Atiku’s stronghold, but Ipob has called for election boycott. They have come to represent the aspiration of the people of our regions in the last three yrs. If you doubt it, at least accept that they command the majority public opinion in our region which they have demonstrated through sit-at-home and protests. The truth is that the Igbos are beginning to understand that Biafra is better and voting is useless in Nigeria. A vehicle like Nigeria which is broken beyond repair does not need a new driver, it needs dismemberment and only political jobbers think otherwise. Beside IPOB, facts on ground show that most Igbos were already fed up and were not too enthusiastic about the last election involving Jonathan which resulted in low turn-out, how much more atiku a northerner. In addition, this is the first time the election boycott will favor buhari’s immediate ambition and he is likely to support it subtlety, all to atiku’s disadvantage and Biafra’s gain.

Ethnicity

We all know Nigerian politics is ethnic politics. Most Igbos fail to realize that all these talks about development during campaigns is hogwash. This is even why Nigeria can never develop. Jonathan lost not because of anything bad but because the north and west felt he wasn’t part of the anti-Igbo establishment and the increasing suspicion that he will upturn things. Buhari still enjoys cult followership in the north west, north east and some parts of north central because of his ethnic group and religion. Only a little change occurred in the last three and half yrs. He is only likely to lose in plateau, benue and kwara and win in all other northern states. Most SW states are already in apc and will vote him with the hope of getting the presidency in 2023. As a result atiku will find himself in a dilemma in choosing vp. If he chooses an Igbo he is in trouble, if he chooses a Yoruba, he is in bigger trouble. Notherners know how to mobilize the rest of the country with anti Igbo sentiment. They’ll label him a Biafran supporter if he picks an Igbo and what happen in 2015 will repeat itself. Does it surprise you that arewa youths support an Igbo VP candidate for PDP but not For APC? If he pick Yoruba, the remaining moderate Igbos will dump him and obey boycott in protest.
If he has chosen Peter obi as being rumoured it is worse still for him. Remember the 2006 massob killings in Onitsha, the ezu river saga etc. Obi is neither a force to reckon with in PDP nor Anambra politics, not to talk of Igboland in general. He never won a senatorial seat in for Apga in 8yrs. Besides, All the PDP heavy weights like Chris Uba, Ulasi etc are against him, which was why he couldn’t win his ward for PDP during the 2017 election in Anambra. Again, Obi has been at loggerheads with Obiano his successor who now tacitly supports buhari. It’s difficult to see how Obiano will support him.

Foreign support

Both US and UK supported buhari’s candidacy in 2015. While it’s clear they US no longer supports him there is no evidence to suggest they are backing Atiku.

Igbos should open their eyes and follow Biafra whole-heartedly.you can’t want to win in Nigeria and still want to get Biafra. You can’t eat your cake and still have it. It’s called hypocrisy . leave election for Nigerias cos nothing will change whether you vote or not. It may appear like we are losing out in Nigeria but with focus we’ll win.

This is all heavy...

I can see your blood running high. Calm down and see if all your rants made sense even to the last dead brain ipob pig in your lineage. I just gave you a little history which you could never be able to know even in your next life.


Lol. Obansanjo rigged SW but he didn't rig SE. Yoruba and Tinubu supported Ribadu but only won osun. SW votes didn't matter but buhari won all core northern states. Your brain is highly damaged.
Osus are so delusional.


Afonja don't have the mental capacity to handle the truth.

...and so it came to pass. What changed? where are those online fools and political neophytes thinking they can liberate Igboland through the ballot? They should now swallow their pride and know that Biafra remains the only answer.

Unfortunately, Atikulation has rubbished the biafra agitation. Very few will take you serious again after the double speak from kanu and his eventual capitulation.

You are Smart, your analysis is on point devoid of sentiment.

The Igbos are typically not logical when it comes to Nigerian politics; their sentiments tends to control their decisions.

Any agitation for Biafra now is null and void because they actively participated in the electoral process and lost.

Did KANU support any candidate.?

Why is it that some Yoruba people don't think straight.?

KANU called off the boycott but never supported any candidate.
