I was at the mechanic's before the election in 2015.
I was sat with a few other guys who came to fix their cars too.
We got talking about the coming elections.
I showed them my voter's card: I asked how many of them had one.
None.
I asked the mechanics.
None had a card.

I asked those selling spare parts & batteries, the vulcanizers, etc.
None.
Most (if not all) were Southerners.
I asked the Northerners who sell water, sell bread, tea & noodles in the shacks close by.
They all had their cards.
Even the guy who cuts nails & shaved beards had!

The Northerner maiguard had.
The Big Man house owner didn't.
I was with a friend yesterday & he said a Northern Senator told him in his constituency, he collected the cards from INEC & distributed them to their owners, using okada riders.
How many Southern Senators can do that?

The North is VERY DELIBERATE about politics.
The South is not.
In the North, we register. We vote. We stand in queue for hours. We will vote, no matter the discomfort or inconvenience.
We go even carry underaged voter's join!
It's DELIBERATE!
We don't take chances!

The south is filled with educated & ajebutter folks who don't like stress.
They can't stand in the sun for hours just to vote.
"Time is money!" they say.
"I can't spend 2 hours in the sun just to cast one ballot! When I was in the UK & US..."
Meanwhile, the North is cleaning out.

At the end of the day, total Kano voters is 3m, Kaduna, Sokoto, Katsina, Borno (even with Boko Haram!) have over 2m each.
Enugu, Edo, Ogun, Ekiti, Anambra, Rivers, etc will have 300-400k each.
And the south will scream, "they rigged!"

And in 4 years time, wash, rinse & repeat...
