There’s nothing happening now that’s close to military regime. Let’s walk and chew gum. Avoid distractions too. Silly conversation to be bogged down by

Complaints about ‘micronations’ making the World Cup are crazy btw Haiti has over 12 million people Uzbekistan over 30 mill DR Congo over 100 mill And more A huge group of people who are finally represented, who earned it - if you cant get behind that, sport just ain’t for you

I actively supported and campaigned for Buhari/CPC in 2011. But I knew he was not going to win. Few weeks to election, I stopped to buy recharge card at a place in Ajah. I saw some guys - including one named Taofeek - discussing politics. I joined them. To my shock, none of them knew there was any candidate as Buhari. Few weeks to election. In Lagos. They didn't know there was a candidate called Buhari. They were of voting age. Meanwhile, Buhari was pulling crowds at campaigns in the North. And on some sections of social media (eg Nairaland). I had to pick my pen and write this article ar the time. An Adamu in Kano whose worldview is shaped by what he saw in Kano would have thought Buhari was going to win that election. But a Taofeek in Lagos didn't even know there was a Buhari contesting, not to talk of an Emeka in Ogwuashi Uku. You can't win a presidential election without national spread. If you use your own environment to judge, you are mistaking. This was also why violence erupted in some parts of the North after 2011 election result was announced when the Adamus used their environment to think that was how everywhere was for Buhari and felt Buhari was rigged out when the result was announced and he didn't win. This is also the problem I have with those that kept saying PO won the 2023 elections. There were places in Kebbi or Katsina where the mention of Peter Obi, few days to that 2023 election, they would ask you whether he was a footballer. People don't get these things. People use popularity within their immediate environment or social media to conclude presidential elections result. I am not your problem. I am only telling you how presidential election is won in Nigeria. You can keep insulting me.

It is obvious electricity will be his major reform after re election. We really do not have any more time to waste
