Really?

I thought you were conversant with Igbo history...

saintohia: Please the Electoral body:

Swap Obiagu1,s nomination for Biafra rep,

Obiagu1 is not standing election, he has nominated Biafra Rep already,

I'll make the second nomination later.

PointB: Umunna,
I have gone through the links provided, and must say that some of the comments ranged from myopic, to ignorance; some are distasteful and indeed promote disunity contrary to our objectives.

But we must also agree with Okija_juju that since we have punished him in the past for these infrations, it would amount to double jeopardy to punish him again for them. Certainly it would be unfair to punish someone twice for same offence.

I would therefore maintain that only offence commited after the last election with any of the candidates' known multiple ids will be admissible in this matter. The electoral team will conduct further background checks on all the top contestants. We are encouraged to help in this effort by providing information on them.

In the case of Okija (aka Mad Cow), only recent information from Nov 2012 to date will suffice. Until further information Okija remains in the run. Further appeal may be directed to the Electoral Tribunal who reserve the right to upturn my decision.

PointB:

I regret to inform you we cannot swap nominations. It would be difficult to track or follow if everyone starts asking us to swap nominations.

FreeGlobe:
why are you taking these decisions by yourself? I thought we have an electoral panel/body/committee/whatever. why not take the matter to them to vote. We operate democracy here. You have made erroneous judgements in the past for us to trust you with another .

berem: for where? It was when i got married i started speaking igbo. I hear and write igbo but i don't speak fluently back then .no be my fault na! lagos life don enter my head.thank God am now perfect. So don't be surprised i don't know nada about igbo history.

Okija_juju: PointB.

on 2 of those threads posted, I plead double Jeopardy. You can't try a man twice for the same crime. 2 out of 3 of those threads are older than the last 2 Eze Ndi Igbo elections and I believe that you personally disqualified me based on my alleged comments that you perceived to be anti Igbo which I believe these comments were integral in forming those opinion. Those are in the past, Ojukwu has been buried and I have made my peace with him (Which is why I haven't really made any comments on Ay Ojukwu thread in a while.

Now on the "2 day blackout" thread.....

That comment if looked at fairly, isn't wrong and I didn't make it out of malice.

It's just how I feel on the issue.

manny4life:

Haha, understood. I think Igbo history should be taught to some people here, umm PointB, any books you recommend?

As for me, I always spoke with my parents who HARDLY EVER spoke English to us, so by fire or force, we learned to speak. Writing was when I joined NL, and it soon became part of me as of last year two years ago. Anyway, I'm almost in same boat with you...

Andre Uweh:
Nwanne, I know everyone you mentioned here. I was with the Emeakarohas last year in Kent, England. I have many friends from Umuezeala Nsu including the current Imo state APGA deputy chairman-UD Ejelonu.
Anwunno.

saintohia:



^^^^^^

What is the view of the electoral body on this?

I think there's a section of the constitution that says, if 1/3 electorate object to someone's nomination, such person would be disqualified?

Please the house should be updated on the number of people that've raised concern on the candidacy of OnlyTruth and Okija- juju.


.

PointB:

You are correct we have electoral body. The electoral body consist of the Electoral Commissioner and the Electoral tribunal. As I explained ealier to you, I am the current Electoral Commissioner. 9Ja_I_hail, Afamdever and Ujchief are members of the tribunal. As the Electoral Commisioner I have the mandate to take decisions such as disqualifying a candidate or not based on strength of evidence of breach of rule. But the Tribunal reserves the right to over rule or uphold my decissions.

If you noticed, I asked for either more evidence on okija's case or the petitioners should approach the tribunal.

Bottomline, I am not taking the decisions alone. By the way have you read the constitution. If you have not, kindly do so.

berem: If i wanna learn igbo history, i think Google can help me out right?


"yawns "..now am off to bed. ka chi fo!

9ja_I_hail:

I am in support of your idea, i just realized that those comments was made last year not this year and we have punished him for this same comments. it will be unjust to punish someone twice over one issue. PointB you can check your hushmail email id, i sent you a message when i noticed that the okija comments was last year and 2011.

Thank you.

manny4life:

Most of the info there can be quite misleading, I've tried that's why I need recommendation.

Good night.
