Looking at U.S. history, it is clear that there is no precedent for postponing a national presidential election, even in the midst of foreign or domestic wars. Moreover, the President lacks the constitutional authority to alter or postpone a national election; the election timetable is specified by statute of Congress as authorized by the Constitution.

This is for an organised society that thrives on rule of law. Our own society is governed by the whims of those belonging to the largest party in Africa unfortunately. Until this is #Changed , do not expect any thing better.

So, You are saying Nigeria and indeed Africa should try to emulate the society that thrives on rule of law ? ? ?












[size=18pt]So, Why the Fourk Do some AHOLES always condemn USA when U.S.A pitches in on our politics once in a while[/size]

Fool, throughout the duration of world war 2 there was no election.

This is why Franklin Rosevolt is the longest serving president in American history!

In every society someone must act to set precedent where non exist. I think that had to pen down Nigeria in the Guinness Book of Records.

The postponement, to me is not that bad so long as it does not tamper with the May 29 date.

Well let's hope and work towards the next election dates.

Wen wil nigeria stop been d 1st in evil part<all is in the time of gej

Firstly, all lies. Secondly, we are not US.

it is imposible in a sane society to have election date changed. but as for nigeria were d leaders see demselves as d master of d people, notin is imposible. d posponement will only end up tarnishing d alredy destroyed public image dwt jona has. dis postponement will b to jona disadvantage. #MATCH4BUHARI. #IHAVEDECIDED

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United states from March 4, 1933 to April 12, 1945.

A record total of 12 yrs, Roosevelt is the longest serving president of the united states!

He died in office.

His tenure spanned the entire world war.

Go and read up on history and stop believing that bastard Muslim shill Barack Osama.

Sorry to disagree with you on your assertion that "our society is governed by the whims of those belonging to the largest party in Africa"

Until we all learn to respect the law and abide by it, be objective and say the truth even if saying it will harm us or put us at a disadvantage, our society will continue to be govern by the whim of whoever is in power irrespective of tribe, religion or political affiliation.

In other word don't expect the change you are canvassing for because that change is still a long way coming, APC or PDP but one is a lesser devil.

By all means please vote according to your conscience but why doing so pray that God will be done.

Jonathan is a curse to nigeria.

If Nigeria is like US then ppl like Buhari would have withdrawn from the race.

Is it the president that postponed the elections or the electoral commission ?

Nigga are you saying we are experiencing WWII in Nigeria at the moment.
Now I understand why this insurgency was prolonged for a long time. Late Andrew Azazi was right afterall

There are clear indications that the election may not hold.
You may think that I'm speaking gibberish but nigeria is full of surprises. Anything can happen like football

So you are comparing WW11, a war that threatened the existence of a particular race and ravaged the greater part of Europe with an insurgency that occupies 17 lg? You are a big fool, sir, the biggest infact

Nigeria is a co-join ethnicity that is existing and thrives in an atmosphere of "organized disorderliness"

no definite date can ever be set in Nigeria without any exception

even if Nigeria happens to be Saudi Arabia, trust me going to Mecca for aaj will holds at different day and month every year

Most apc warriors belleves that GEJ is the author of everything in nigeria as if it was him that postponded the elections while he has no power to do so

Don't u think being reasonable pays a better deal than being intellectual? Intellectual conceit has plunged the whole world into chaos with large scale of atrocities being committed on daily basis. Man inherited the 'INTELLECT' here in the Gross Material World which should function as a servant of the Spirit to enable his Gross Material courses. But when man pushes his Spirit aside and thereby leave all decision and investigation to the Intellect which is bound to space and time, limited in its capacity to grasp and examine, the whole world must be thrown into ruin as we already have and witness today. Man should be spiritual according to his nature and point of origin, not intellectual! The Spirit knows "everything", both what's to come in hundreds of yrs from now. Therefore become spiritual and seek spiritual knowledge.
"MAN KNOW THYSELF!"

Who mentioned any thing about American soil here? I hat to disappoint you but America is not in Europe. Btw, WW11 threatened World peace and even shaped history. You don't compare that to Boko Haram

Thank God we're not America

In Nigeria the President lacks such power too or did he Postponed the National Elections by himself? Was he the one who announced it?

Think, Think, Think, don't be quick to conclude.

Nigerian constitution allows INEC to do as it pleases, Schedule and reschedule their timetable. If memory serves, Jega asked for the postponement of said Election since late last year to enable him and his crew prepare well incase a clear winner did not emerge and another re-run election is necessary to determine the winner.

Can there be election in naija without Military presence? So if the Military is saying they won't be present by February 14 what really can Jega do to protect all his staff from expected violence (a trademark of naija politics).

No Jonathan, no oil you say? Now that Jonathan is there, how has it freed you from the poverty that's hindering your intellect? How?

It is Official! Nigeria is 202 years behind USA.
