MAYOWAAK:
MUCH ADO ABOUT A POSTPONEMENT
Elections are shifted by one week. As expected, all kinds of tantrums are being thrown depending on the divide people belong to. Unfortunately, most "analysts" on social media hardly interrogate their environment especially when something does not favour them.
Let me say that this is NOT a political post even though it has to do with our polity. If your only spectrum of viewing this is partisan, please go to your wall and push your argument. Don't do it here. As a people, we love to eat omelettes without cracking eggs. When we don't get our wish, we throw tantrums like a child whose toys are seized.
I saw the postponement coming long before it happened. Not by clairvoyance or prophecy but by the chain of events. My only surprise was that it wasn't announced earlier. It would have been a miracle if INEC had proceeded with the elections as previously scheduled. A few things:
1. I am of the opinion that the postponement of an election on the eve of the election entails too much inconvenience for everyone who has prepared to vote. The postponement should have happened long before yesterday.
2. Having said so, this was a postponement that should have been expected by all a long time before now.
3. This is not the first time elections have been postponed in our recent history. It happened in 2011. Voting was already underway in some states when the elections were postponed. In 2015, we had a postponement due to "security reasons".
4. I would rather have a postponement, even though it is NOT convenient, than have a botched process fraught with too many glaring irregularities
5. With the spate of arson attacks on INEC offices and the destruction of voting materials, many people would have been disenfranchised if the election had been allowed to proceed
6. The violent attacks on the convoy of the Borno State Governor with attendant fatalities and the butchering of almost seventy people by gunmen in Kaduna State all in the week of elections portend too much danger for the process security-wise.
7. From the time that the National Assembly was dilly-dallying on INEC's budget which was not ed until late last year, it should have been obvious that this election was going to have hiccups. No responsible National Assembly plays politics with something as sensitive as electoral budget. More than anything else, I believe this laid the foundation for this postponement.
8. Anyone trying to make political capital out of this postponement is simply grandstanding and needs to pull back and think deeper. I listened to a radio programme this morning where representatives of the two major parties were, expectedly, throwing tantrums with one party blaming the other.
9. The postponement of an election is not a guarantee of victory or defeat for any party.
10. If postponement is the only means by which INEC can reasonably guarantee a smooth, free and fair process, so be it! Inconvenient but if expedient, we should simply accept the situation and look forward to the new dates. One week is not eternity. We will still vote!!!
At the end of it all, it is NIGERIA that must win these elections.

. All those plenty epistles yet you make no sense. If a whooping 4 years is not enough to prepare for a one day exercise then we're done for. You talked about election's materials being burnt, are such sensitive materials not supposed to be watched 2,4,7? Pls stop justifying incompetence.

Prophet Julius ~ Election postponement prophesied & confirmed....
Prophet Julius Ekweozor The Senior Pastor of Restoration Charismatic Ministries Asaba, prophesied the postponement of the Nigerian elections on 3rd February 2019 in a live Sunday service at the Church worship center the indoor sports hall of Stephen Keshi Stadium Asaba Delta State Nigeria.
These were His words. Pray for peaceful elections, let every plot to shift the elections be aborted. Watch the Video..

Check your signature and weigh it against what you are mumuishly going through at the hands of your friend and tell me how you came about that signature...
You can't say your mind to your friend over your property but you can come on here to pour out vituperations...like who cares...
How people live their lives to please people all to seek validation and acceptance still beats my imagination. I suspect its a function of age because at my age...I no dey use shame chop winch o...if I wan chop winch na him be say the thing hungry me well well.
You might think the guy cares about you, wrong...he only sees you as a means to an end and is using you for all you are worth before trashing you when eventually you decide to stay woke...
I drop cap for you

Meanwhile, Buhari sends his love through [b][/b] to all lovers of Sai Baba.
you really are ready to follow the lifeless one to his grave, let me ask you a quick question Mr rotten meat seller, after what we saw in Delta, Ekiti and Ondo do you truly believe buhari can take charge of his own life for the next 4 years let alone the lives of 200m people?

Fuji Star Legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall(K1 De Ultimate) dances on stage with Abike Dabiri as both of them shows Buhari 4+4 sign on stage.
The Nigerian Fuji musician, who is known for introducing the genre to the sounds of keyboards, saxophones and guitars and making the genre a danceable tune, that appeals to all age group, irrespective of tribe and background.
He was campaigning for APC yesterday with Abike Dabiri.

A lot of extremely stupiid people who keep looking at this country from their own high grounds.
Anybody who's able to make a comment here is not among the class of Nigerians that the VP is talking about.
There are tens of millions of Nigerians who have never gathered #10,000 in their entire lives.
These Nigerians do not have no smart phones,
They do not buy fuel for cars and generators,
They do not hang out drinking beer every weekend,
They do not have homes made of cement but wood,
They do not have electric coolers in fancy kitchens but cool with firewood.
They do not send their kids to school unless the government builds government schools around them.
Give these people 10k someday and see them worship you for life! Just try.
Give them 10k to put into their tomato business or their grinding business and see them pray for you.
And trust me there are over 50 million of such people in Nigeria.
. You're the most stupid to think the 10k really got to those people you just mentioned.

Watch how defenders and sponsors of these ritualists would come here to sing their usual lines like "they should take her to a psychiatric home" or "in saner climes she would be taken care of"
May thunder fire all of them, she didn't see plastic bottles to pick abi?? Her own madness has grade ba??
Don't be shocked when you see them defending these fake mad men and women after all those who patronize them didn't fall from the sky, and I'm certain many of them are on Nairaland
you're the idiot here, from what you read so far, what was her crime?

Nobody holy. no one is a saint. He without sin should cast the first stone. Even if Atiku and Peter Obi robs the Central Bank on camera, I will still vote for them.
Mercygist: Photos: Man Spotted Having Sex With A Secondary School Student In A Workshop (18+ ONLY)
Wonders they say shall never end. A man was caught on camera while having sex with a secondary student in a mechanic workshop. Click Here to See More Photos
Take it home, call all your friends and family together and watch till you all cum, since you have no reasonable thing to do with your lives except sex, sex and sex.
You obviously don't know the level of hunger out there, if parents can sell off their kids just to make ends meet what's a mere piece of paper to them? Knowing fully well that their votes don't really count.
Abeg make we hear word, what makes him better or different from all those petty thieves that are being set ablaze all over the country on a daily basis, did you see the number and the types of cars in his compound? Apart from being a politician what other source of income does he has? This people are the problems of this country. I honestly don't give a damn what they do to each other.
