More than 30k live listeners.

Corn people are secretly tuned in to that space and are diligently listening, including Tinubu and Dele.

He came to learn how to administer a country from the owner of the mandate he is temporarily sitting on. Now I understand why PO, in answer to a question, said, “I can't say it here”.

Any state Government building cement factory in this age just dey play

Including those building non-economically viable sea ports "upandan", hoping to sabotage federal seaports in its domain to comatose down the line like they did the refineries.

I'm sorry to ask, are you this paranoid.
You mean CIA doesn't murder for fun? This is even what has been verified over time.

You mentioned f35 the jack of all trade- do you even know f35 is still riddle with a lot of teething problems? And even euro fighter, mention an western fighter jet inclusive f22 they're not some kind of alien tech they'll ask be shot down. Stop glorifying shit.
You sound like something who is battling with inferiority complex. Though Nigeria is nowhere to be found when it comes to tech but the is due to our bad character and foolish leaders

You see why I normally do not engage Nigerians in meaningful discussions. Most of you are ill-informed, unnecessarily emotional and uncouth. It really doesn't cost much to think, or research before typing nonsense.

From a population of claimed 47 million people living in southwest Nigeria (Wikipedia), of which 62 percent are Muslims, according to punch newspapers, 18.8 million are multidimensionally poor.

Let's calculate:

18.8 million multidimensionally poor South westerners
- 11 million multidimensionally poor Southeasterners
= 7.8 million more multidimensionally poor South westerners than there are in the Southeast

Togo's population is 8.6 million people.
Benin republic is 13 million.
This number of people living in poverty in one region of Nigeria is significantly more than half the population of Ghana at 32 million.

A man's house is on fire, instead of pouring water on the fire to douse the scorching embers, he busies himself with catching rat and mice. And we wonder why Nigeria is not respected by even a failed state like Niger.

Constitutional legal authorities in Nigeria have acquitted and discharged this man of all the spurious charges the northern Nigeria rulers falsely levelled against him, let's not even mention his inhuman and illegal rendition from Kenya. It remains to be seen whether Tinubu is as lawless in power as his predecessor.

Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, unconditionally, now.

Penguin2:
Well, you know it’s fake because you are tech savvy.

The Almajiri in the north won’t know that.

Neither will those in the rural areas of Western and Eastern Nigeria know that it was a poorly photoshopped picture.

What they will see is a picture of Peter Obi and Simon Ekpa.

That’s why it is very pertinent and imperative that it is not allowed to take root.

Absolutely. This further buttresses the argument that the people who have hijacked Nigeria's rulership today, know they are illegitimate, shameless, and retrogressive, and will stop at nothing to perpetuate their chokehold on the citizens of this country.

We'll keep our eyes firmly trained on the judiciary, even if we know they are a part of the rotten system.

smallrincowis16:
You mean obliterate? Are you dreaming?

How many nukes do you think can destroyed a nation? And but to mention the fact that the state even border like three to four NATO countries.

Do you know that only tactical nukes of US are in Europe? , I mean the one that can only be carried by aircraft. How many nukes will scale through air defense to destroy Belarus? Before retaliation from Russia and massive nukes from both artillery, jets and short range missiles in Belarus that can wipe most of the Baltic state

Oga, it has always been said that it is better to keep your mouth shut than open it and confirm one's emptiness. Germany harbors the most contingent of US nuclear weapons in Central Europe.

France is a very potent nuclear power, United Kingdom will not be outdone in this discipline as well. They all possess very effective delivery vehicles, e.g., Submarines, Nuclear capable frigates, land launchers and of course, Bombers, and fighter aircraft capable of delivering satellite guided missiles armed with nuclear warhead.

You hear F-35 and Eurofighter Typhoon, and you think these technologies were developed to play ping pong or what?. No surprises from people who live in a country that only struggled to purchase the so-called super-tukano single engine turboprop.

May I remind you that the aircraft is made by Brazil, a country Nigeria was at par with 2 decades ago. Your airlines are now queuing up to purchase Embraer airliners made by the same Brazil and sold all over the world. Nigerians and inferiority complex.

May I ask, what is it with you all obsession with a dictator who murders as a hobby?. Belarus is nothing. Finland and Sweden will effectively shut it down militarily, and don't believe all the nuclear saber-rattling scares anyone, this is that battle where no one goes out victorious. Putin & co know this much.

smallrincowis16:
Which article 5 man? Everybody is running from world war, your still entrenched in your fantasy.

The recent drying strike on Moscow by Ukraine, do you know how many times US denied involvement?

What part is your problem:

1. Ukraine sent attack drones to Moscow?
2. Ukraine had the audacity to attack who has been attacking them?

TheBillyonaire:
IMF does not have any other job than to be monitoring Nigeria.

What a spy network.

They are your creditors, therefore should keep steady eyes on you and your shenanigans.

The coupists patiently waited for Buhari to expire to Daura before striking. They knew he would've further wasted our scarce resources in defense of his counterpart's failure in Niger. They also know Tinubu is a weak president, battling for legitimacy, therefore harmless to them.

And we are spending billions building a railroad for these useless nitwits.

gidgiddy:
The people who wail the most over sit home in the South East are those who are not even from the South East

They're not crying about the injustices that birthed the situation in the first place. They are wailing and blackmailing the victims of their crime because the money they will share to the center, accruing from VAT etc. has diminished.

helinues:
Someone asked me are SW people happy about this contraption? My sincere response below

How developed is SW to have been thinking about seceding from Nigeria now?

How many African countries are we friends with?

Having a new country means both international trade and regional trade would be suspended for years, it will take years before your currency can be accepted outside your country.

Forget about making direct international flight from your new country for years.

A region that is yet to be self sufficient but wan secede, no be Sudan making be that? Are the leaders of the new country going to be from Jupiter abi na still same current Nigeria politicians?

I'm told SE meets all those requisites SW lacks at the moment. They are willing to brace the tides regardless, what's your problem with letting them go?. You also want the same for SW when the circumstances is favorable, abi no be so?.

Is it a coincidence that Lagbaja's first engagement is invading SE communities and threatening middle belt indigenous people to disarm?

Mangu people will be first class phools to heed that Lagbaja. If you want to de-militarize, go disarm the Fulani first.

More than 300 persons have been reportedly killed, and about 80,000 persons were displaced from 11 communities

The Chief of Army Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja, has warned residents of troubled Mangu Local Government of Plateau State to submit all illegally acquired weapons or risk being killed.

The army chief warned on Saturday during a meeting with representatives of ethnic and other groups held at Pilot Primary School in Mangu town.

More than 300 persons have been reportedly killed, and about 80,000 persons were displaced from 11 communities in the area since clashes between farming communities and pastoralists in the area started in late April.

The meeting was attended by representatives of the major interest groups in the area, including the Mwaghavul Development Association (MDA) and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Jama’atu Nasril Islam from the area.

The meeting, according to the Nigerian army, was part of the continued efforts to find a lasting solution to the crisis that had engulfed the town and surrounding communities.

During the meeting, the army chief advised residents of the area to submit all illegally acquired weapons or risk being killed.

“We have youth carrying illicit small arms and light weapons all over the place, here in Mangu and the entire state. If you have your children carrying weapons. Call them to order as quickly as possible. Collect those weapons from them and submit them to the military. If you don’t do that, they will get killed, and they get killed, there would be no compensation,” Mr Lagbaja, a major general, said.

“So, collect the arms from them and warn them. The government has the charge, the responsibility to organise, train and equip and maintain the military, which is in the hands of the government. And the government has done that. The law does not allow you to hold military weapons. Report your problem to the appropriate channel, ” he added.

Mr Lagbaja further drew the attention of the residents to the effects of violence on the children’s future, adding that with crisis, their children will not have the opportunity to become leaders of tomorrow.

Representatives of the Mwaghavul and Fulani communities explained some of their differences.

“If they agree that we are peaceful people, they must be responsible that there must be some outsiders. Because so long as we don’t tell each other the truth, this will continue. If my dear brother, the chairman of Miyetti Allah, is telling the truth, he must reflect that in action,” Joseph Gwankat, National President of MDA, said.

“All Fulani herders in the area of Ampan and Mongul district have been chased away. I don’t know where they are at the moment. If what we are saying is true, what have the Fulanis in these areas done to deserve what they have witnessed? I am the leader of Fulani in the LGA; if something happens in some of the areas where Fulanis were chased away, who should I call to investigate? We have to stop this. It wouldn’t take us anywhere,” Bellow Shanono, MACBAN chairman, Mangu, said.

Special Operation

Meanwhile, the army chief has flagged off a special military operation codenamed ‘Operation Hakorin Damisa IV (4)’ to end the killings in Mangu LGA.

Over 300 troops were deployed for the operation.

While flagging off the operation at a stadium in Mangu, Mr Lagbaja reminded the troops to ensure that they operate by the rules of engagement. He charged troops to “respond to distress calls from communities and also give feedback so as to build confidence and trust.”

“Whoever is carrying a military-grade weapon or any weapon at all, you must recover those weapons from them. You must not take sides; operate by the book you will not run into trouble.

“You must work, and you must work effectively. We must see the result in Plateau. This violence must not resource; you must stamp it and stamp it out completely once and for all,” said Mr Lagbaja,

Nigeria is a joke!.

mysticwarrior:
You are completely under suppositions cooked up in your imagination.

Says a minion who is struggling under the heavy weight of fuel price. No be your fault, na cheap data give you mouth talk. Ewu!.

Vladimir Putin is not stupid enough to allow forces under his command or allied to him to set foot on NATO territory. That automatically triggers Article 5 of the NATO Charter, and the consequences are better imagined than experienced.

I've said here in the recent past, and I'll say it again, if it comes to an armed conflict between Russia and NATO, Russia will come out a very diminished entity without Vladimir Putin at the helm. If he goes nuclear, Russia will be history and the rest of us will feel the pain.

Lotanna2:
I am just trying to show you that the constitution didn't make fct mandatory if not they would have still specified so.

Section 134 numbered it well.it said

1) have the highest votes
2 spread in two third of the federation.
Now if fct was compulsory,they would have made it as a third directive.pdp in their petition knows that is why they created a number 3 provision

You're wrong.

Lotanna2:
The governor of fct must have 25% at any time

We refuse to fall into your vacuum. Always consult the Constitution, and if you disagree, encourage your representative in the National Assembly to seek an amendment, or appeal to the courts.

Lotanna2:
The person that must appoint fct minister must win there or must still have 25% in a runofff,don't you think?

The constitution already settled what has to happen in the event of a runoff.

lexylaw09:
The people living in Abuja are more equal than other Nigerians in fact they have golden heads, dick, and fingers unlike other normal people across across the world. In fact they come with two heads

The Framers intended the FCT to be a litmus test that must be passed.

You can ask your representative to advocate for an amendment to the Constitution to reflect your stated sentiments, but as of February 25, 2023, when the election is concluded, the law is that a candidate must have received at least 1/4 of the votes cast in 2/3 of the states of the federation and the FCT to be declared president.

Penguin2:
I told some guys here about a week ago that the section 299 that Tinubu lawyers and supporters are hinging on to argue that the FCT is just another state in Nigeria, only referred to the administration of the territory and did not preclude the place of the FCT as one of the provisions that must be satisfied before a presidential candidate is declared.

They argued with me then, but I’m happy to see my argument incorporated by Obi lawyers in their written address in response to Tinubu and Shettima at the tribunal.

Questions for determination:

1) If the FCT is a state (in the sense canvassed for by Tinubu lawyers and supporters) why was there no governorship election in the territory on March 18, 2023 when the rest of Nigerian states had their gubernatorial elections except for those whose election have been staggered?

2) In the 1979 constitution, the condition that a presidential candidate must satisfy before being declared a winner was to “get highest number of votes cast and 25% in 2/3 of the states of the federation.” No mention was made of the FCT which was Lagos then. The question therefore is, if it was not intended that a presidential candidate must score 25% in the FCT, why was that provision attached in the 1999 constitution? Why didn’t the requirement just end with “… and score 25% of votes cast in 2/3 of the states of federation as it was in the 1979 constitution?

3) Since the FCT has no elected governor or mayor, the president appoints a minister to administer the territory on his behalf. Does it not make sense, therefore, that the framers of the constitution intended that the man who will appoint the administrator for this territory MUST have at least 25% approval of the indigenes and residents of the territory?

The truth is that like is popularly said, the law is a bitch. It cares not about your sentiments and biases, it will serve justice by letters and spirit of the law.

Tinubu did not satisfy the constitutional provision to be declared a winner which makes his declaration null and void.

Bingo na Tinubu supporter. Abi you no see say him wear dat useless Tinubu cap?

DesChyko:
Obi presented what INEC has in court?

In the past, you've claimed to follow a long list of election tribunal cases. I'm being led to believe you may be muddling them up and confusing one for the other.

He does not deserve that benefit of the doubt you're according to him. Garfield1 is intentional in his quest/assignment to plant doubt in the minds of those who believe Tinubu stole the election.

The idea is to debase their minds from possible public revolt in the event they muscled the Judiciary to do their bidding.

The half-truths you read here are intentional and intended.

Tinubu will lose at the PEPT. The nationwide euphoria reverberating from that commonsense judgement will send a clear signal to SC on where Nigerians are headed.

Tinubu will quietly vacate the villa in that instance. In fact, this is the reason he is yet to take up residence inside the villa.

Folks, pay attention to the constant in all the submission of Tinubu's bullhorns. It is very easy to decipher that all the bleating coming out of them is from the same pot of rejoinders handed out in their WhatsApp group. They are working out of a template.

They are under instructions to spread the falsehood you have now come to know them for. In fairness, they've gotta do this. What else should they do in the presence of a well oiled petitioner team, when all their attempt in cohorts with INEC to frustrate their petition failed. Please feel sorry for them, they too have to feed. Nigeria hard.

One of the revelations of this trial is that their lead attorney, Mr. Olanipekun is a bloated phony. All talk and no substance. Personally, I am very disappointed, seeing as I had hoped for an intellectually charged legal contest.
