Mehn, its been ages here..😁😁

What Do you think about the 2023 Presidential elections?

What do I think? I think what everybody thinks na 😅. Its the time once in 4 years where we come to choose who Leads to the greener or browner pasture or nowhere at all. But frankly, it is one occassion we have to just choose one person synonymous with between the devip and the deep red sea.!

Have you gotten Your PVC?

No, not yet though. Sometime ago I tried aplying for it, it seems the site was down and since Then I never try am. But I have resumed my intention..hopefully I get it before the next time - the next 4 years!

Who are you voting for and why?

Ah, dont let us start this one here o.
Anyway,IF I get my PVC, my vote is for Jagaban and no other person. The Why?s are much. Pls I am not saying he is a saint or a messiah, infact none of the 3 major people are! But one of the reasons is that this man has been active in the political space,, way back to the 80s he has been in the shadows learning the way of politics and all. You don't have to be on and off. So I believe he has the sense to do things. I have read the history of Lagos and how he paved way for the structure which everyone loves to roll with now. By the way, among the structure is how he gets his money too but were the jobs still done? Yes. But he still gets his ccut? Yes..
wo, this is enough jare. By the way, I know some thing about thatPDP man too o. Mafo!

What other issue do you think we can talk about?

There are thousands of issues o. The issue of vote buying, underaged voters .. Ah yes, the former is manageable but that latter is what I detest. I am like if we want to fight, lets fight both legallay and underwise but still within the range of sense..and through those that can make their own decisions. Even in war, there are ruLes guiding how they kill each other...can you imagine?😅 There are weapons they don't use..ABBL

Ps: Being a governor and doing well does not mean he'd do well as president. They are very different thing!!

For Bakare sef, being a successful pastor and manager of his church does not mean he will successfully manage Nigeria!

Ah okay.
I'm just going to wait for other people to show up 😅

Make I go wait for sidelines first 😅

No way Steve...speak your mind here o🤩...this na our able naija guy, I wan hear your original opinion ..no sidelines, come inside jare🤣🤣

Omo 🤣🤣🤣

Na my PVC I wan make he talk for me oh 🤣🤣
I'm enjoying the takes tho

Funny you 🤣🤩

Sidelines like observer. That could be too delicate for our democracy. Do the do and talk the talk 🤣🤣😂

I agree

1000000%

Ahahah. Come forth!!

The 2022 election will be a mess, don't kill me but I don't see anyone fitting in the three, choosing the lesser evil isn't a solution and it is still all politics.

People feel like the youths will gather up and vote for Peter but I laugh In Ijaw, the youths aren't that unified; check even when there was endsars.

Also, most likely Atiku might win; bite me it you don't feel like that but its my opinion based on certain things.

Now about voters card; I am one of Nigeria’s problem because I don't have one, tried to get one but they frustrated me to a point that I gave up.

Who would I vote for; the lesser evil, peter obi, why? Tinubu is old man that shakes and feels like it's his turn, Atiku, another old man who is scared enough to delete a tweet.

I don't want any so i would go with Peter, let's see what the east can offer I guess ; that is my reasoning.

People feel like the youths will gather up and vote for Peter but I laugh In Ijaw, the youths aren't that unified; check even when there was endsars.

You are right here I see so many youths campaigning for tinubu..like that man is too old to rule over 150 million people...but then everyone is entitled to vote for whoever they think is right.

Voters card want to kill me stress tried registering online still nothing.

Asin imagine someone that couldn't open paper ruling us, it's crazy.

Omo, maybe they want to frustrate us so we can't vote.

Person wey no fit stand alone dey compete to rule plenty people wey durable ment or malaria..lol
This country na joke aiswer

A big joke oh

He's too old? 😜😢
When he literally put the person who is ruling us..😒

leave voters card, use your school ID card jare.🚶

😂😂💔💔

Abi wetin you think?

Voters card want to kill me stress tried registering online still nothing.

People eyes don open that people wants it.
They are opening more branches sha, no less stress
Please try and get it oo

Now about voters card; I am one of Nigeria’s problem because I don't have one, tried to get one but they frustrated me to a point that I gave up.

Babe, you don't have any? How will you then vote peter Obi?🤔

Abeg o, infact I carry God beg you sef 😀, go get am by all means and vote the lesser devil🤣🤣

I saw what happened to people yesterday trying to get their cards...it cannot be me 🙄

Chaiiii
This babe don give up on this 🤩🤩

But I perfectly understand you...the waiting and the whole drama of getting the card can be frustrating.

However, the day I did mine, I went with my baby and the officials considered pregnant women and nursing mothers by attending to us almost immediately...I spent less than 30mins over there in Lekki

They try....

I am not taking chances

Oh my! And you must not carry the baby enter sun o

I fit get issue with anybody way complain of bad government without voting

Like you go change am for anybody straight up, abi? 🤣

If possible 😂

I hope you wont find another house to live in..

🤣🤣🤣 dis your ijaw laugh wicked gan

What are the certain things that makes you feel Atiku will win?
The only upper hand Atiku has for now is his party PDP. Naive people will choose the top opposition party to remove the current ruling party because they have failed. Aside this, Atiku has nothing else to offer us.

Here's what I think; I might be wrong oh
Buhari doesn't want Tinubu

Peter obi is in a weaker party and to be honest, regardless of all the bruhaha, there is a lot against him and even though I hope he wins, he might not.

Atiku seems like the one who isn't in the midst of so much to me oh but let's see sha

Buhari doesn't want Tinubu ke? Did you watch their primary election? You think all those other candidates that came to act like good sons and daughter willingly stepped down. Alot has gone in the background that we don't know of but that won't have been possible without buhari's mad input.

Tinubu, a king maker says its his turn to rule maybe by birthright and as it seems, there is no stopping him unless nature or forces higher intervenes.

Who knows sha but the insight I have through people I know that are close say otherwise.

Bro one thing is, even if Buhari does not want Tinubu, IF!.... Bubu does not have half of the influence Tinubu has on the party members.. A man that when some Northern guys wanted to usurp the throne of being a National Leader such that it won't exist again. Baba went low-key.. traveled to see some people and men were silenced..🤣

Buhari doesn't want Tinubu

No, this is hilarious. You do not want a key person out of those that put you there? The only thing is Buhari just did not want to publicly say anybody's name o

It's politics, he doesn't have to want a key person who put him there.

For me, I think that aside the age syndrome, Tinubu is a very corrupt man, siphoning our monies for personal use. He us called the richest landlord in Africa and no one can pinpoint to his source of wealth.
For Atiku, he is another bug thief. As the manager of Nigeria Port Authorities, he swallowed billion of dollars to his personal purse, remitting only a few amount to the federal government.
You have made a right choice by picking Peter Obi. I think that's when the cap fits.

I truly don’t care about any of them but I guess we have to choose; Peter isn’t better either

For me, I think that aside the age syndrome, Tinubu is a very corrupt man, siphoning our monies for personal use. He us called the richest landlord in Africa and no one can pinpoint to his source of wealth.

Bro, I agree 100% o. But does Tinubu and the structure producing the subsequent governors deliver one of the best governance.. for me, yes! That is just one of the reasons why I believe say even if he is gonna chop money, he go still deliver!@! He be like goat 🤣

And for the source of money, its you that did not know o..iTS POLITICS!

Politics here is of bitterness and winners take all. That Timubu was able to stabilise Lagos where he created wealth to himself and established social vices doesn't make him a messiah.
Half the lands in Lagos now belongs to him.
I respect Asiwaju as the administrator, he has been able to hold political sway in the state ever since, even as ex-governor, more because he has a skeleton in his cupboard.

For Nigeria to work, we need more than cheap popularity. We need someone who has a track record of public office transparency.
None other has it, than Peter Obi

Of course, I am not saying Tinubu is tranparent but I do not think Obi can win with that party he is..if he were on pdp Then e feel sure for him.
And that is why I dey root for jagaban against Atiku..the latter na correct bad man that his oga then -OBJ- confirmed it..😅

Jagabam and Atiku are right friends, and co-bad-men.
Choose a better person instead.

I agree they are bad men..

Is like Peter Obi is the better option of the lesser evils 😅 where is this country going to really?

Well sha, I'm still thinking and finding inspiration to go do my voters card 😂

Hmm. So, you don't have a PVC? Please, do and go and get your PVC and let's lift Nigeria out of this mess.
Na beg I dey beg....

😂😂😂😂😂
I'm working towards it, I will try my best 🤣

Please, your best should be good enough to produce a result.
Tell your friends to tell their friends that their PVCs matters a lot.

Wetin we dey lift? My hand dey pain me oo 🚶‍♀

Another thing I know is Nigeria itself needs a strong person to rule.. not one gentle saint per se.. And I can say IT again, that the Presidency is coming from either of the two parties.. I bet you know those parties!

I am looking beyond the winner in my argument.
It's unfortunate that the wring person would win at the end of the day, beginning with talks like this.

We all know the truth, only that we shy away from it on the grounds of ethnicity or religious bigotry.

I am looking beyond the winner in my argument

Oh, i get your point now. If this is it, then Obi all the way o.
One thing I do not like is, like you said, how people make some political decisions based on ethnicity - nepotism.

That has been the problem here. It would amaze you that the northerners may vote for their person, Atiku.

Don't give up on Nigeria just yet.

I am not o.. but if I get the money, i am outta here..😅

Ahahah🤣🤣😂. For me, Naija is home, elsewhere is a market place.

I thought they closed it even???

They did? I don't know o

Me I don’t know too oh

You don't want @starstrings01 too?

It looks like you think Peter is the lesser evil. Hmmm. I wish he would win so we can confirm it

😂 Starstrings can come na and omo this election is so scary, I feel like a mistake could do a lot.

Mama, there is no choice than the lesser evil... The good cannot reach to that point without being cut off. And the youths? We are joking - Twitter is our life not poiLitics. And as long as the universe exists, a youth can never be presido except you'd like Gowon!

I hope I didnt not indirectly coroborate that Obi is the lesser evil o..😅.. Well, its your view though. That man is another case entirely. He should have stayed in his former party and kuku wait till his turn. Well this is Nigeria politics, he will definitely come back in the next 2-3 years!

😆 so you feel like he would not win; you see your life

The party he went to has no structure yet.. LP will just be building themselves now when some have started more than a year ago.. And an individual don dey plan since the 20th century..

He should have stayed there and lost honorably like Wike. Now, if Wike decides.not to take the position of running mate with Atiku, Wike will.most.likely be the next choice next time.by pdp...Obi may have to start over..

All in all, na politics anything feel sup but not Obi winning with that party.

It's fine
If everyone has your ideologies, it's no wonder they keep voting parties instead of people.

Well, i am not in support of voting party instead of a person.

Omo i know peter obi has his own lapes ooo, but at least he his the only person that has ruled and he have seen, he was one time Governor of Anambra, others we haven't even tested their leadership

Anything way go make us miss Buhari
God abeg🥺🥺🙏

When he ruled he didn’t do anything special so I heard.

Who
Peter obi?

I'm no from Anambra but people there even testify
Like i said, people go still complain

I am hearing a different thing oh

People will always talk
Moreover there must be bad side of someone

I could say the same thing for Atiku and Tinubu you know

You have not tested their leadership..it may be because we were younger then. Wait were you old enough during Obi's time? 😅😒

BTW the others have been in a political position too before o

Lol
Omo Tinubu is sick and old
Did you watch the primaries?

Wasn't Bubu sick..?😅

What did he do???
Travel always for medical check-up

I dont know o.. I am only trying to say na sick he sick like Bubu too

I no get time to dey watch primary cos I already knew the person wey go win am

Make I dey observe
Don't really do politics like that

This 2023 election no be observing something o, kilode?🤩🤩

This Nigeria sufferness no dey tire you ? Abeg hustle get ur PVc let's go cast our vote Jaree

E kuku don tire me...
Tried several times in getting it the stress it comes with wan kill me still I'm yet to get it
I don tire

Why una dey give up like this on getting this pvc?
I no like am ooo 🤔

For Gods sake, let our vote count no matter how structured in evil and non transparency nigeria has become, just a try plz ok? instead of sitting on the fence complaining, lamenting and murmuring for the hardship we face here in Nigeria , my thought though !

Oya we move..
We are getting this PVC and voting.

Correct guy👍

Lol, this one na serious political women

But i support you oo
If all the hive naija members can even vote in their various states

I am damn serious babe
It's good Nah abi?

Yes oo
I support you
If nothing pain me this Asuu strike pain me reach marrow

Are you still in that school of thought? I think you need to come out of it. Else, it will be difficult to bring change in government.

Your vote counts.

That's is why the politicians come to the polling booth to bribe or buy your conscience.

Please, go get your PVC and on the day of election, vote your.conscience and not the stipend.

Lol
I would have to get it one way or the other even if I don't like politics...
Voting is my right.

You got the jeck now.

This is a serious matter
We can only choose to enter from frying pan to fire or from frying pan to freedom.
I am not supporter of any political party or develop special love for any of the candidates but as regarding the voting process " e be like we go vote by track record, APC and PDP don show us shege, make we try bring that change wey buhari no fit bring. Remember say me and you still dey house because of ASUU strike wey PDP and APC no fit handle". My candid advice goes as follows get your PVC but don't sell your vote
Remember lekki toll gate genocide, if you sell your vote then we will witness even worst than that. Vote for change , vote for governance , vote wisely. Those old men doesn't care about me and you.
Thank you
I cum in peace 😂😂🚶🚶

If you want to vote by who has the best track record...for now, tinubu is still the best among all of them. Tinubu during his time has lagos state governor revived her economy and made lagos the commercial hub of Nigeria. Though I see him as a king maker whose greed wil cost him

Peter Obi.. yes is young and well educated. Man when I watched him talk about Economics during the last election debate I was thrilled but the truth is Peter Obi's track record is not enough to bank on. His time as governor of Imo state has nothing good to show for and like @khaleesii said even the youths are not unified enough to have one voice. Peter Obi has also shown lack of structure with his electoral team.

For crying out loud, he had 3 years and more to plan his presidential campaign. Why did he suddenly move to a shaking party with little influence at the wrong time. His uncalculated move will cost him alot.

Atiku, for me cannot deliver us. These guys are madly rich because there are certain lapses in the country and if they try to make it better it means they are going against their own pocket.

Do you think after spending so much to get there they will suddenly forget that?

The candid truth is everyone contesting right now regardless of their party are all the same.

They are all the same, tinubu might have a good track record but he is too old, Nigeria is a property that should be passed around.

All these silly people have ruled before, we want someone different abeg but since we have just three, I'll choose clueless Peter over old and entitled Tinubu.

Is tinubu really too old? Is he the oldest presidential candidate in the world?

Health is not on his side I admit but tinubu has more ruling capabilities than the rest.

The same man that pulled APC as a dying party and made it stand out. Tinubu is more politically inclined than every other candidate and if he truly wants to change the country he has the resources to.

He is old abeg, we need young minds not people who feel like it’s their right to rule a country, how can we be leader when the older is letting us

Ma @khaleesii no young man, I repeat, no young man has the capacity to deal with a local government sef.. One, do we have the political knowledge of things from 1999 upwards? No. Na Twitter, IG we only know..

Apart from that, there are people who are in the queue already.. people who already have the influence et al

This is the silly mentality that they have given to you, maybe you don't know anything but a lot of us do know.

Let's not have this conversation at all because it is unnecessary.

The old men that know where has it gotten you?

Yes o, during the time of ACN plus CPC And one other small party like that. He had the sense enough to create a portfolio as the National Leader instead of being a party Chairman.. That man is too wise 😃

After he will start traveling weekly and spending on his health
Make dem make am Nigeria God father😂 he can give advises if he thinks he has ruling capacity

They all are the same!

They are all the same... We literally have no good candidate for presidency as it is...it is going to be a long 8 years again of backwardness and it is just sad

Maybe it's all part of the bigger plan. Maybe we need to go back for a while to cleanse out the odd ones.

Me sef don drop motivational speech🤣🤣

yes. i agree with you, but who then should be banked on? Tinubu? did you watch APC primaries speech?

Omo I did o....

He literally doesn't have any plans for the country..he just knows that it is his turn and that's all that matters

🤣🤣 the kingmaker suddenly wants to be king out of greed.

That's where he shot himself in the leg. He should have just remained a background player

I guess he wasn't making as much...dont know what they need money for again in this life

Thank you.
That says it all

Mehn I watched it for a while before I stopped. It felt like they were all reading from the same drama script.

So annoying. Nobody except Osinbanjo sounded nice

As much as Tinubu has a record of receiving Lagos, u underneath he was working for his self enrichment.

How Do I mean?

• The tax collection company belongs to him
• He has sold nearly all Lagos properties to himself. The Governor house at Oyikan Abayomi drive in Ikoyi was transferred to himself. The one at Joel Ogunnaike in G.R.A Ikeja, same thing.
All the lands in Ibeju-Lekki, Lakowe and part of Epe now belongs to him.
To say the least, this the problem that all Nigeria leaders have had from 1960 to date.
It is not the right way to lead. Yet, people are seen everywhere around town, celebrating his emergence.

Suffering And Smiling Nigerians

its a pity man

Omo💔
I want make person bring bad report for obi😂

Bro, you dey spit the truth. For those supporting Obi, they can try but he no feel enter. They can come back next 4 or 8 years.

Though I see him as a king maker whose greed wil cost him

Concerning this, if you get some in-depth history on his time as governor, I wont say na greed, well it is..but what he does is something like creatine companies which his ministries will outsource work or projects to and maybe increase price BUT the companies deliver the projects no matter what!!

Peter obi was the governor of Anambra and his record were good
Omo i no hear anything about Tinubu and even tho he did, his old he should rest.
You mustn't be president
Anybody candidate from APC i no like am😂😂, they don't spoil their government

That is even if our votes will count..lol
No be naija we dey?
But then the best move is getting PVC and voting

Our votes cannot count until we have a proper census data powered by advanced technology.

I mean who can guarantee our votes counting when we don't even know the amount of people capable and registered for voting. There will always be rigging unless we have structures the counter them.

Aiswer fam

I heard there might be electronic voting sha
You can't vote twice

But i sha know anything can be rigged😂

Omo make we go vote first
Why the Northerners always win because they take voting very serious than us(southerns)
And they win

Are you sure the northerns
are the one voting themselves...
untitled.gif
Just saying...lol

Who dey vote nah
The truth is that they take voting seriously, if you can watching on TB voting, you will see
We southern feel less concern about almost everything and na we e dey affect pass.

Imagine my mum saying i might not vote, they will shoot
I tell am say i go run comot for house before she know😂😂😂

Lol
You mum is trying to take all necessary cautions..lol

That kind thing
I told her she will follow me to vote oo
Make all members of my family go vote

they take it more seriously than we do? Yes but no.. them plenty pass us, plus underaged voting et al

Exactly
If our vote doesn't count why do they bring more people like children to even vote

If south, east and west join together
We fit acheive something
Although the west may not fully be for him

Cos it counts in rigging..they need votes to rig na..

they need votes to rig na..

How tell me your vote doesn't count??🤔

Who con be freedom ni because I no dey see anyone.

Correct person , so in summary peter Obi na the good road, every other mates na snipers🤣🤣🏃🏃🏃🏃

No be only good road, no body be good road abeg.

Is it not the same Peter obi I hear they are trying to remove as candidate in his party, we can't have only one good option for Presidency naw

If Peter obi steps down what will no happen?

Hmmm...
Well, till then...for now, he is still the man in the picture 👌

I hope he is truly what everyone sees him to be..i really hope so

We can only be hopeful for positivity, however, I will just have an open mind to whatever comes out of it because human beings cannot be trusted 100% but for now, and what we are seeing in him, he has Nigeria's welfare at heart if only he won't fall our hands if eventually, he becomes the president

I am not supporting neither peter obi besides i never mentioned anybody's name, all i meant was that it's time for a change in government, PDP and APC disappointed us over the years.

Bro, to be candid na only from those two the president and most governors go emerge

Good road wey en no fit construct for en state and people🤣🤣

Make good road go siddon abeg

You have a point bro. Our eyes don see shege for APC and PDP hand. The ASUU strike, the killings in the country and how it is been handled, the LEKKI MASSACRE and a host of other uprisings call for a drift in choice of political party to vote for.
But more seriously is that we have a solace of a lesser evil in Peter Obi.

exactly
you understood everything

Omo see ehnn this 2023 election get as e be looking at it so far no candidates is right for Nigeria.

And about the PVC I tried getting my PVC but then stress won't let me
Tried registering online but still yet it not working out..
The queue,the stress and all will make you lose interest
We move though I just pray and hope it gets better

I think it the high time people start voting for individuals and not parties it has always been pdp and apc and still these parties
candidate brings nothing but harm.

If it left too me I'm not voting for anyone of them because all parties candidate are not right
But then we need to decide according to what we have I would rather vote for Peter obi than atiku and tinubu that has lesser consequence

How all apc aspirant decided to step down for tinubu still baffles me
This politics ehnn e no ever de clear..lol
And how tinubu plan on ruling Nigeria with his health no clear sef...lol bunch of clowns
God we've had enough already spending Nigerians money on individual health
Since President yara dua's regimen to buhari own now people want to vote for tinubu so we spend all Nigerians money on his health..

I laugh in French...lol

See the thing is that no matter how much we say vote for people, it wouldn't work, Nigeria has already been structured and it will take a lot to change it.

If you hear people talk you would even know, people aren't ready for that change.

Las las make them sell the country plus us give elon musk

Yeah it will take a lot
I tell you it like some people are not ready for the change

Free meeoooo prechidi🤣

Hahahahaha
I don't support Biafra sef
I just want a better Nigeria

The change we need is beyond getting a better president...we need change in all sectors
That house of representatives itself need change
Those old ones are doing nothing but harm
Person dey count vote for primary election jumped from 79 to 100 lol
You De whyn me?
Lol
Na those set of people wan count over 150 million vote correctly...
I just dey laugh...lol

Exactly, the structure we have alone does not permit scrupulous people from getting there. They are either cut short or initiated..

Exactly my point

Please vote, then you have the right to say you voted
We don't take voting seriously that's why the north keeps winning
Let nobody influence your voting sha
Vote who dey your mind, but do research

Sometimes the voting sef no de count no be naija we dey...

I'll definitely vote though but then we need a better voting process to keep the vote accurate.

If our vote don't count
Why do politicians buy votes from people

My own is as far as we are using ballot boxes to vote in this 21st century....the election is not fair so I won't even bother myself cause it will be rigged

Because I don't get it with all our tech bros and women in tech in this country, we cannot create a digital voting system, that shows result instantly like jamb score but we want to be counting 1,2,3...79,100.

Omo it is crazy.It is going to be a terrible election..as far as I am concerned and I won't even stress myself as it is

Who says the tech bros have not done something fitting already? Fela durotoye during the last election fought for this cause but shey we dey hear the matter again?

Shebi we Nigerians like to dey copy Western culture? Have you ever asked yourself why they have never for once spoken and truly adopted the western technology used in voting in all their travelling and wasting Naija money around?

These guys know what they are doing. Nobody will choose a system that will take him out of power. Nigeria politics is first more about personal gains and party interest.

Nigeria politics is first more about personal gains and party interest.

I totally agree.

But can we not speak up as we did during end sars, is everyone really comfortable with the whole balloting method, it's our right to want better voting options naw and nobody is saying anything even the whole voters card is not necessary becaus as far we have NIN and maybe a confirmation that can be done online to verify we age-old enough to vote then we can vote.

Because the whole get a PVC idea I don't even understand when the method to get it is as tedious as the country itself

Even the end sars matter sef and the culprits that were involved we no dey hear the matter again 😫

That's the sad thing about us. We think the media is our friend but truly they ain't.

The idea of using PVC is old and not effective anymore but like I said, these guys knows what they are doing.

That media is another thing entirely. Only a handful of them are scrupulous enough.

Our media is under the Government's control and they can't really function properly unless they want to risk sanctions.

AIT and some TV channels tried it and they got served hot hot

Yes, na only Arise tv dey get the balls most times. Others na grass under the elephant.

During the primary apc election, they jumped from 79 to 100 while counting...lol
Do you expect me to believe over 150 million would be accurate while counting with ballot boxes...lol
Funny
This country na Cruise...lol
Bunch of people deceiving themselves

Serious cruise.....who counts papers these days...na wa

Will the tech bros create it themselves or did they refuse to do it if INEC brings it up? 😃

They do not just want something that cannot easily be shaped to what they want.

My own is as far as we are using ballot boxes to vote in this 21st century....the election is not fair so I won't even bother myself cause it will be rigged

Even online can possibly be rigged
Let's play our part first
That what matters right now
If we keep the mentality it won't count, then deprive ourselves the right to choose a good government

As E Dey Hot 🔥
"Voting in Nigeria"

What Do you think about the 2023 Presidential elections?

Hmmm, I think it's gonna be hot!!! The truth is that since APC is still in power, it takes the grace of God for that power to be shifted to another. However, many Nigerians really need this shift of power including me whereas the fans of Apc and co wouldn't want the power to be taken away from them. So like I say, it's gonna be hot like fire. It's that time Nigerians should take action through their vote and decide who will bring the original change we have been hearing for ages. It's that time we should all leave our comfort zone and go cast our vote. Enough of complaints about the Nigeria Government, have we done our part? Let's forget if our vote will count or not and just do the needful and watch things unfolds👌

Have you gotten Your PVC?

Big YES, I have gotten my PVC and updated it a few weeks ago, ready for the 2023 election. In fact, I wrote a post about it the day I updated mine...this is how extent I am serious about encouraging people to do the same hopefully, for a better Nigeria.

Who are you voting for and why?

I will be voting for Peter Obi

At least he is a good man with a lesser evil record unlike...

Tinubu, who is old and unhealthy to fit the task, or is it Atiku that can't stand his words (deleting his view on tweeter) but rather allow himself to be controlled by noises around him.

I rather Vote individual and not a party, come 2023, enough of PDP and APC, I am going for a new brand considering majorly the aspirant, his personality, and not necessarily his party.

Like your concept. Voting system is changing over time in Nigeria. People vote for personality and not political party.
For now, Peter Oni is the man to beat.
I may not be as politically popular like the Tinubus and the Atikus but believe me you, that guy get vision wella.

Wow, you are just on point bro👌
If only we can avail ourselves of this election, I am optimistic about the result. Many are complaining about how frustrating it is to obtain their PVC and give up so quick but then, it's better to wait for 8 hours and get it rather than suffer for more 8years

Point blank.
This goes to show how politically disenfranchised the people had been before now.
It's fine that our political consciousness is waking up.
Right (8) years is a long time. Everyone should gear up.

Now is the time!!

I hear you sir 👍💪

But sadly the president will emerge from either APC or PDP

How sure are you.?

You sounds so sure🤔

Everyone knows it na.. SHey labour party that we do not even hear of them till Obi went there...to Jagaban that has been planning this for decades or Atiku who had been in the space from 1999 contesting?

Its glaring, my dear 😁

Hello my country people, how ona dey?
The killings for the country now, election self matter so 🙄

What Do you think about the 2023 Presidential elections?

It should be cancelled, who dey with me?
Make all of us rule each other, share the country money, burn aso rock down then live as many Nigerians (nor be only one Nigeria 😏)

Election that people are not even safe to give the vote that they will still rig and put who they want there 😑 this country is messed up in that aspect abeg.

Have you gotten Your PVC?

Not yet and honestly, no reason because I'm super lazy to do so. Like what a friend of mine said, I nor go vote with am if elderly person nor follow me 😂 I nor wan die for person matter nau.

Maybe if it was an online thing, the election for sweet 😏 well sha, let's see how it goes.

Who are you voting for and why?

Myself, who go vote for me? 😅 But that na if you nor agree with wetin I first talk sha, make them cancel the elections ooooo 😂

I'm just looking at those people that wants to vote for Atiku, normally the man suppose don dey care house (E don too old nau) 😂 Abi we wan repeat wetin happen for Burahi regime wen he nor even know wetin dey happen for our country? 🤦‍♀️

untitled.gif

We no fit rule each other for here oo. That's even when the matter go even worse pass. Even with leaders we no get ourself shey na when we no get at all things go soft.

The issue is our leaders have forgotten the true meaning of leadership. Leadership is service not the other way round.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don talk my own, make Nigeria go e own, make Nigerians go their own 🤣
Make we just dey like that, na the same thing

🤣🤣🤣 so if Nigeria go en own which nationality you go con be? Anonymous or 'I prefer not to say' abi😜🤣

I prefer not to say 😂

It should be cancelled, who dey with me?

Mama don vex.. Chop knuckle jareuntitled.gif

😂😂😂😂😂

@vickoly and @B0s, please come and tell us your view about voting in Nigeria as e dey hot🔥 😅

but guys oo

Let's even leave this presidency candidates they are not the only one we should vote for, we have local govt chairman, Senate, house of rep these people too are as important as voting in a president...

Light, security in our immediate environment is first local government chairman before governor self or President..

But if only we even know who they are..presidency election has blindsides us small🥺

AH true o
Those ones are worse. Wo, Nigeria get loads of issues that only a martyr can solve

Good morning guys!
The PVC matter done change levels ooo. Frankly speaking, you vote counts oooo.

If you know what is good for you, go pick your cards from the INEC office.
These politicians have started bidding for unclaimed cards, they will use it to vote on behalf of people who are indifferent about election.

Tag me in ☝️

Sadly voting in Nigeria is not about our PVCs and votes but about Money and power and pertisan system
The upcoming election will decide our fate as Nigerians but alot of ignorant youths and uninformed adults don't care about this
We need to look back and compare the past Nigeria and the present Nigeria...
Do we want to continue like this, an average Nigerian cannot survive in this economy, companies are fleeing from Nigeria, inflation rate is in the highest in the history of Nigeria, Education is undervalued.. I can continue counting....
Election is a time when we rearrange the table but sadly, the so called men in power controls this table... Does our vote really count? The just conclude APC primaries is a vivid image of how we are in this country
Either our votes counts or not, as youths let's vote. We have been recycling the same set of leaders overtime, it's time to try something different..
The decision we make now will determine our fate as Nigerians!

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. Our greediness, selfishness and despiration is the reason why we are here today

Happy weekend, am glad to be here again

What Do you think about the 2023 Presidential elections?

It's going to be a tough o one, the aspirants are are strong, but na God get power pass 🙏

Have you gotten Your PVC?

Sure, since last election sef

Who are you voting for and why?

Peter obi obviously, not because i am am igbo but because he is the right out for the job.
Industrious and can handle our financial problems.
Imagine what others said when they were asked
Tinubu wants to be president because it's his own
Then Atiku because he has be failing

Omo we just need God now ooo
E no go funny for the next 8years

If we say our votes doesn't count, then why do politicians buy vote???
I need answers from anyone

You have stated the obvious my friend. I live the fact that you have your PVC.
Talking about a sellable candidate, Peter Obi us the guy that has a vision for our dear nation.

Obi wants to make Nigeria a working nation.
A producing nation.
He wants to reduced the cost of running the government.
He wants to upgrade our schools and ensure the universities are well funded.
He want to live government and be able to work on the street without security.

That's the right man for the job.

Peter Obi

Exactly
I prayer everyday is that he wins

Action and prayer would see him through. As much as we pray we should also sell his candidature to the world.

Sell what???
5k for 8years.....
If not for anything for being at home 4months as a result of this Asuu strike, i can never

ASUU is another reason Peter Obi is the most preferred candidate for 2023 presidential elections.
Why would the aspirants be spending $25,000 per delegate to win a primary election while students of higher institutions have been at home since March, 2023. It is an aberration to say the least.

Bro, we should all know more than this na. Wetin concern delegate with ASUU?

It's February 14 oo, they no get conscience at all

and Atiku or BAT won't say the same thing?😒

This guy don chop money for Obi😂

He is just the candidate for the work. Else, Nigeria would be further plundered.

Yes, I agree.. But the party he is in aint going to make things work more thsn those 2. i bet if he had won with Pdp, he go win!

The party isn't the problem but the electorate.

Yes,our configuration to elections has been re-wired to the bad side over the years.

Well, I am not disputing the fact that Peter Obi is a lesser evil compared to others but I don't think he can get there. Maybe he could later but now he does not stand a chance.

Talking about some people saying he left.money in the treasury. A lot! Yes, we agree. But couldn't that money, atleast some of it, be used to do projects and some other useful things. My view though.

That's the true
His chances may be slim
But let's play our part by voting
Hope you have gotten your PVC

Yes..even though I will try and get PVC. If i get am, I no dey vote for Peter Obi 😅

I no tell you make you vote for am ooo
Choose your own candidate you think is right
