Nigeria loves adopting all the Western bullshit But they should never bring this madness to Nigeria People must vote to determine their leaders, not some super important personalities that are not up to 600 deciding the fate of 300 million people 2 Likes 1 Share |

Notatribalist: It is needful for people to go out and vote because in most states, the winner of the state automatically gets all the electoral college votes in that state. So voting by people in most states is needed because it helps to determine who gets all the electoral college votes in those states 2 Likes |

dazzlingd: Hope you know that what works in other countries fails in Nigeria. If the electoral process that works in other climes still haven't worked in Nigeria then how will the electoral college work? A country were a 7 year old have a PVC? A country were a blind person have a driver's license? A country where snakes and monkeys steals millions of naira? A country where someone seeking to become its president has no first school leaving certificate? A country where a SAN becomes an erand boy to someone with zero intelligence? The electoral college will just become another quota system made up with dimwitted shenanigans just like the Nigerian national assembly which currently looks like a den of idiot's. 6 Likes |

Re: United States Electoral College Explained by shadeyinka(m): 9:02am On Nov 06, 2020 |
IamPlato:I agree with you. In the case of Nigeria, the vast majority of voters do not have an objective reason for voting in a Presidential candidate over another apart from ethnic or religious bias The electoral system could correct this when knowledgeable people who know how the economy and nation critical aspects runs. Hence, people who know about a ship functions and is navigated are allowed to choose the captain rather than the passengers of the ship. 1 Like |

Electoral College is too alien and complex for Nigerians to understand so I will break it down in local context for them to understand in simple terms using Nigeria regions as an example. Instead of the present system of presidential elections where the Kardashians of the North will just release astronomical figures to negate electoral lead to miraculously swing victory the way of their preferred candidate, they will have a fixed number of Electoral College votes determined by their number of federal representatives. So if Kano like, let them let cows and infants votes and churn out 10 million votes, all their preferred candidate will get is the Electoral College votes of the state. If I am being honest, this system would have been perfect for a multi-ethnic large population country like Nigeria. 4 Likes 1 Share |

tamdun: Keep dreaming: First of all, the number of allocated votes per state is determined by population, which means north will still retain its population voting advantage; secondly most delegates vote along with the majority vote cast in the state, which will again favor the north; lastly I cannot envisage any northern delegate going against the majority and the collective interest of the north, in the circumstances when you ppl continue to carry regional and tribal/religious politics on your heads as you do. |

byrron:There is actually some sense in it. If you were on a cruise ship, your ship captain is dead and you have to select another person to navigate you to the shores. 1. Would you advocate democracy to choose a new Captain (every passengers including the sailors have equal standing)? 2. If the general consensus was to use democracy. Would it be okay to choose by popular votes? Dangote may be chosen as the next captain because he has been good to majority of the ship's passengers! 3. Would you rather want the sailors of the ship to vote among themselves for the choice of a new Captain? This is one of the purpose of the electoral college system! It was actually designed so that the ignorant majority do no ultimately select who the President would be. 2 Likes |
