South Africa’s Constitution bars people convicted and sentenced to more than 12 months’ imprisonment, without an option of a fine, from holding public office. something that can never happen in Nigeria 19 Likes |

That is what is supposed to happen to that useless Tilubu, a fraudulent star that came in through back door and destroyed everything that was there before he came in. And some animals especially from South West are still supporting him . now everyone looks forward to receiving palliatives that would never come. 13 Likes |

God1000: CRAP Pls, tell us one person who has been convicted of a felonious crime in Nigeria is still allowed to run for the presidency. Just one pls.... Plus every country is different with different laws. Even here in the US, Trump with all his charges is still allowed to run for office. Even if convicted he can still run for office. this is what the US Constitution says: The U.S. Constitution does not explicitly prohibit a presidential candidate from running for office while under indictment, or even while serving time behind bars. Eligibility requirements for presidents state only that they must be at least 35 years old, be a natural-born citizen of the United States, and have been a resident of the country for at least 14 years. You can even be a convicted criminal in prison and still for the office of the Presidency in the US. Trump is going to be a test case. What is happening in the US right now is worse than anything I have read about anyone in any African country. But the sane clime crew are always quick to say it can never happen in the "sane Climes". Has anyone run for president from prison? Just over a century ago, Eugene V. Debs served as the Socialist party's nominee in 1920 while he was imprisoned for speaking out against World War I and convicted under the Sedition Act. Debs ran as a free speech martyr and collected about three percent of the vote, which was about 915,000 votes. 9 Likes 1 Share |

In Nigeria's case, the seating incumbent that was involved in heroin running, electoral robbery, identity theft, forged certificate, possessing dual passport, parading illicit cash for vote buying was validated by the same court. 6 Likes |

In Nigeria you need to have a criminal record. Either you are a coup plotter, or a prisoner or a convicted drug baron. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

YesDaddyTill203:crap how? Name one former president in Nigeria that has been barred from running for election by the court, they are too big and more powerful than the system itself. Ordinary invitation by EFCC, they will not honor it 1 Like |

What kind of constitution are Africans running abeg... After ruling for two tenures and handing over to a democratically elected government, you want to come back to Rule the country. Imagine Obama coming back to contest American presidential elections |

Greenbirth:SW people supported Tinubu to help save Nigeria and pave way for Ndigbo to become President in the future. Don't be surprised if Tinubu invited Obi to become his Chief of Staff in 2027 |
