Add up all 5 states & you’ll be shocked who finished first in that subset of 5. That’s why he is President-Elect because he finished close 2nds in those states & a couple of others he lost. What is hilarious with this wailing is this is not the first time this winning template is happening in Nigerian political history in a 3-5 way race. Shagari won the the presidency with an even less % in 1979 than Tinubu in 2023. Of 19 states, Shagari came single-digit % 3rd in Lagos, didn’t get 25% in Kano let alone win but in many other states he was consistently 2nd.

Indeed the Atiku campaign spokesmen had predicted that was their path to winning this 2023 election as they were certain states they would lose, they would come 2nd. The only shocker was Tinubu ended up being the Shagari of this cycle.

You listed 5 states that Tinubu didn’t win but claim a candidate who came low single digit % distant 4th in 7 states the one who won. By the 6 zones, Obi didn’t even crack 10% in the richest vote-bank region of NW & barely hit 10% in the NE. By contrast, Obi’s SE was the only region the top-2 Tinubu & Atiku didn’t hit 10% of votes cast but the fact the total votes in the SE barely hit 2million & was a less than a 3rd of the total NW votes meant the SE ‘shellacking’ wasn’t as damaging to the top-2 as Obi’s 5% of 6.5million in the NW. That is why your boy came 3rd.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
A person that lost Kano, Kaduna, Kastina and his States Lagos and Osun and couldn't get 25% in Abuja wants to be President

Mr. Secretary of State, grow some balls and publish their names! I hope MC Oluomo, Hope Uzodinma and Nyesom Wike made the list though.

Meanwhile, I like the step the US is taking to punish some Nigerian politicians. Stupidity of the highest order is electing idiots and turning around to blame the West for destroying Africa.

I agree..Including all the yoruba kings/Chiefs involved in Lagos and SW too..they should be banned for putting fear in people and undermining the peaceful voting.

US should be transparent in this if they mean business, they should list the names of those they have banned. Nigerians should learn to ask questions.... Its not enough to tell us that they have banned some specific individuals. They should give us names

Lol, Obi fits perfectly with what US wants.

A semi-illiterate who has zero understanding of anything apart from buying and selling. With Obi, pushing the homosexuality agenda the globalists are trying to impose on other countries is slam dunk. And with vultures like Okonjo Iweala around him - that’s a perfect US puppet.

you are a two faced devil. Before taking this decision they must use satellite, drones and other sources to get their info. The courts in Nigeria are all for sale, In Nigeria Ekweremadu will never go to prison, in Nigeria Wike will never go to prison, in Nigeria MC Oluomo will never go to prison. Etc..
Now tell how you get justice if you are depending on Nigerians justice system.
America have the right to decide who goes out of their country and who comes into their country. They don't need any Court to do that, not especially from Nigeria where justice is for the highest bidder.

You are not intelligent enough for this conversation. Clearly just another half educated zombie.

2 wrongs do not make a right. In case you lack comprehension as most Nigerians note the word “wrong”. Because someone steals and the local police don’t do anything doesn’t give me the right to shoot he person. Ekweremadu got a fair hearing before he was sentenced. These idiots called America are not practicing what they are preaching. If a governor or president arrested someone tomorrow and locked them up without a trial, it’s these morons and hypocrites that will be talking about civil rights, human rights, right to fair trial etc. I am not saying the people they banned are guilty or not guilty, but who are they to pronounce guilt without a trial? It doesn’t matter who it is, they should practice what they preach. Clearly you do not understand how insulting it is to you as a Nigerian.


Finally, no matter the issues in Nigeria, every time you carry your family business to an outsider or an outsider intervenes in your family squabbles, reporting your father to his friends, reporting your mother to her friends, exposing family business to strangers to intervene, all you are doing is tarnishing the image of your family, in this case your country. The day you will understand the implication is when it comes time to marr6 and no one wants to marry you because of your family, meanwhile the people looking down on you have more problems but they don’t carry their family business to outsiders so no one knows.

What the US just did is an indication of how Nigeria is perceived. NO Brit, French or German citizen will be banned for the same allegations until convicted and before you say their Justice system works, it’s not about whether a Justice system works or not. It’s about the respect they have for your country and how you are regarded or not.

Good, this will pain them because USA is their heaven, all countries should place ban on our politicians and prevent them from traveling.

Nigeria is a sovereign nation... US with not so a good electoral system wants to meddle in
Nigerian democratic process, always acting like world police... They want every other country to bow, fidget at the mention of their name.

I just wish Jagaban will just ignore them and instead embrace Russia and China..

Allow court determine those that undermined Nigeria’s democracy, Fani-Kayode tells US

By Oluyemi Ogunseyin
16 May 2023 | 10:23 am



Former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Tuesday told the United States to allow the court to determine those that undermined Nigeria’s democracy.

US on Monday announced through the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, that it had placed visa restrictions on some Nigerians who undermined the 2023 general elections of February and March.

“The United States is committed to supporting and advancing democracy in Nigeria and around the world,” Blinken said.

“Today, I am announcing that we have taken steps to impose visa restrictions on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the democratic process during Nigeria’s 2023 elections cycle.”

Fani-Kayode while reacting said that those that have imposed a visa ban on some “selected Nigerians” for allegedly “undermining democracy” and “rigging elections” are perfectly within their rights to do so because it is their country and they can do as they please.

“We should loose no sleep over that because the Nigerian people, a great and sovereign people who belong to a great and sovereign nation, spoke loudly and clearly and made their legitmate choices during the course of a set of free, fair and credible elections,” Fani-Kayode tweeted.

“Wherever any of those elections may have been rigged or democracy undermined can only be properly determined by our election tribunals and courts after all the facts and evidence have been adduced, examined and determined and not by any distant and/or partisan foreign government or power.

“It is also my view that foreign policy which ought to be based on the principle of equality of nations and conducted on the basis of reciprocity, requires the Nigerian Federal Government to consider the possibility of doing the same to nationals of those that have implemented and announced this measure and issue a visa ban to any foreign citizen or member of any corporate entity or institution that may have indulged in undermining democracy or rigging elections in either their own or any other country in the world over the last 25 years.”

He also said that the irony of it all is that the President whose government has issued a visa ban on selected Nigerians for rigging has himself been accused of election rigging by his predecessor in office and millions of his fellow country men.

“The truth is that the world is becoming less tolerant of double standards, double speak, neo-colonialism, pseudo-imperialism, the hypocrisy and interference of big, rich and powerful countries, who believe that they own and rule the world, in the affairs of less rich and less poweful ones and the practice of what Lord Palmerston, Great Britain’s 18th century Foreign Minister impudently and arrogantly enunciated and described as the implementation of a ‘paternalistic foreign policy’.

“African leaders generally and Nigerian leaders particularly are not mice. They do not scramble and scatter at the sound of a gong and they do not quiver or wet their pants in the face of a gratutious insult, threat or storm.”

In the south west, the likes of Musiliu akinsanya aka oluomo mc and bayo onanuga should top the list.

Tinubu is heading for a massive collaspe. He will only be president of irapaji union.


Being a citizen does not mean you should stupid.
His citizenship was given, it could also be revoked.

Keep talking gibberish!
