You see, the internet and social media is filled with a lot of stirrup, that is gradually driving emotional narratives that are far from the fact and the truth.

Lagos State has been at the center of political discourse in Nigeria, with various narratives being manipulated to sway public opinion. The need to examine some of these narratives and separate fact from fiction is key!

and ethnic bias is a common tool used to manipulate Lagos politics.
This narrative tries to pit different ethnic groups against each other and create the impression that one group is favored over the others. But the truth is that Lagos is a melting pot of different cultures,

The wave of rallies came at a frenetic pace while the antics of politicians and their supporters were on rapid display, leading to the much-awaited February 25.

I’ve seen a lot of commentary to the effect that violence and inconclusive elections in the 2019 cycle is evidence that #Nigeria is witnessing a democratic regression. I understand this feeling, but strongly disagree. #NigeriaDecides #Thread
This narrative is mostly driven by two factors: (1) the sense that 2015 was a watershed because an incumbent lost (this was a big deal!) and (2) the larger number of inconclusive elections in the 2019 cycle.
2015 *was* indeed a watershed. The introduction of the smart card readers made it much harder to manipulate voting outcomes than it had been in the past and helped Buhari unseat the then incumbent. That was a huge deal and a big positive for #Nigeria’s democracy.

2mrw, we'll have another episode of #NigeriaDecides. It'll be of huge significance for the credibility of international election observation. In many ways It's the 1st major test for Int'l #ElectionObservers since the fiasco of #KenyaDecides2017
#DomesticObservers will also be deployed all over the country for #NigeriaDecides. There are 119,973 Polling Units (PUs). Observers will not be in all the PUs. The goal, however, is to cover all 8,809 wards in the country. Tens of thousands of Observers will be involved in this.
One major reason for the inability to deploy #ElectionObservers all over the country is security. In parts of some states, including Borno (NE), Rivers (SS) & Zamfara (NW), it is impossible to guarantee the safety & security of both election officials & #ElectionObservers.

Since 2015, we had known that we were going to hold another general election in 2019. It is every four years. It is there in the constitution. We knew we would need ballot papers, ballot boxes, inkpads and result sheets. We knew the geography of Nigeria. #NigeriaDecides2019

This aircraft was to carry a particular group of APC to Edo state with cash, and they didn't come on the agreed time.... So the captain agreed to carry another APC group that was looking for an aircraft to katsina state,in the process,
the first group that this aircraft was waiting for came and the both group started arguing. This first group loaded the aircraft with 15 Ghana must go full of cash biggest size and four suitcases all with dollars and the aircraft nose up and hit it tail on the ground.....
I was invited to a political-risk assessment firm here in London and we studied diverse data around tomorrow’s presidential elections in Nigeria, and these are my takeaways from that attempt to predict Nigeria’s next President, between @MBuhari and @atiku:
#NigeriaDecides2019
#NigeriaDecides2019
Predicting Nigeria’s next President is tricky. It would’ve been easier if individual sentiments are indeed scientifically assessable. So it’s a frustrating and amusing attempt to ease the firm’s predictions of the outcomes, but I built my forecast on existing data and trends.
I shared that that the elections would’ve been a walkover for Atiku if Buhari had not advertised a certain ascetic lifestyle not in line with the mainstream elite fashion, and had thus long established himself as renegade member - an outsider among Nigeria’s political parasites.
With 84m total number of registered voters for #NigeriaDecides2019, there’s 15.3m increase from 2015.

2. Where we were:
Security was the biggest challenge for Nigeria before the APC came into office in 2015. The worst form of the insecurity that bedevilled the nation was the insurgency being waged by the Boko Haram terrorist group.

3. BH's reign of terror caused so much fear & carnage in Northern Nigeria including the Federal Capital Territory. There were also various militant groups & separatists. The IPOB as you will recall threatened & began a mobilisation towards secession. Niger Delta was not left out
Welcome to our #NextLevel Infrastructure plans. This is what Team PMB/PYO have is stock for Nigeria. In the next four years (2019-2023) Team PMB/PYO will:

2. In 2014, the GEJ Govt spent these sums on the following sectors: Transport (N14 billion), Agriculture & Water (N34 billion), Power, Works & Housing (N106 billion). Grossly inadequate, a lot of infrastructure projects were left abandoned and contractors unpaid. #NigeriaDecides
3. PMB committed to initiating & completing key infrastructure projects &demonstrated this through budgetary allocations & fund-raising & ensuring the plugging of leakages & cutting out waste, the government has been able to re-direct money into infrastructure & capital projects
The Presidential elections are upon us, February 16, 2019, is only a few days away. The mood of the country is bad. Personally, I feel things have not gone in the right direction. The Economic situation is terrible to say the least.
Has President @MBuhari done his job enough to deserve re-election? The big issues are unemployment, poverty, corruption, insecurity, poor quality health, and education etc.
