Nigerian Presidential Election: Counting underway / fukkery underway

Why him?

Well for one he isn't one of these recycled leaders that we've been getting.

I personally would have liked to see Donald Duke but the powers that be had my man in court the entire campaign time. He's actually a politician that has a track record of progress.

 

[Kasgoinjail]

Why him?

Why not him?
I actually spoke to him and Seun and Yeni Kuti
Despite the Kuti family’s reluctance to get involved politcally because of how the Govt. treated them and their father, they actually honoured my request to have an AAC networking event at the Afrika Shrine because they see his potential.


He has been the most transparent in terms of how he has funded his campaign
He has addressed the plight of Biafra
And Human Rights, renewable energy, infant and maternal mortality along with increasing min. wage are some of his main points of interest.

Because he is not a tief he has no money to pay for security during his campaign much less pay for votes like the other two main candidates


He won his state (Ondo) people say he is too young but young people are Nigeria’s biggest resource

smh all these new political parties springing up like thirsty thots waiting to get paid

 

[Ake1725]

non political question.
looked this up and saw conflicting accounts.

Are there really more Yorubas in Nigeria right now than there are Black people in the United States combined right now?

There are over 40 million Yorubas.

Having Biafra right now I think could really jeopardize the stability in the East. It'll be Nigerian civil war part 2. Now way in hell the new Nigeria would allow this new Biafra to take the oil and go.

Dude stop it, they ain't got no squad and you know it.

 

[LurkMoar]

Shameful elections...

 

[LurkMoar]

abeg we all know how biafra part 2 will go, the yoruba and the north will team up with foreigners to destroy any hint of Igbo independence, stop advocating more death.

That's why I'm against it.

over 300 tribes forced together in an unholy union by the British, we probably will never succeed together.

This is false. Nigeria has a weak state and political class doesn't know how to create incentives properly.

In a Nigeria with a strong economic framework people won't have time for useless bickering and fighting.

This is why there's been a push to restructure the country to account for the regional differences. The South East is skilled in X then allow them to set a certain set of rules to govern themselves to a degree. The west is good at Y then allow them dominion for Y. So on and so forth. Federal government should play a lesser role in the economic viability of certain pockets of the nation.

But the issue is the Federal government wants everything to go through it. No room for compromise. Nigeria is a federal state being run as a unitary state.

Get in a right leader that fights the proper legislation and you could see very big changes. Nigeria needs a very skilled and tactical politician that can play both sides of the aisle but is focused on economic growth.

Once the nation get the proper framework to move, then it's be like a runaway train.

Useless So called eastern leaders had numerous opportunities to create their own lagos or abuja but they squandered all the stolen money on GARBAGE like building crazy mansions all over the place that are abandoned due to lack of adequate security, splurging overseas in places like dubai, london etc, what a waste SMH.

If you have a well integrated and economically viable South-Eastern bloc then it's easier to come to the federal table to ask for negotiations and concessions.

negative competition amongst tribes makes this impossible

 

[LurkMoar]

You think tribal division is bad just look at the religious division
