Hope deserves to be governor.

His Orlu senatorial zone is the largest but least developed in Imo state, due to inaction of former useless governors from the zone.

The Elite Europeans, who hundreds of Years Ago, hijacked what is now known as Christianity, summarized a supervised edition of the Bible, also created an Art of Proxifed indirect Leadership called Government.

What is called Gov in one art is called God in the other.

What is called Tax in one, is called Tithe in the other.

What Priest is to one, is what President is for the other.

Both of them, do not pay taxes. And are not answerable to each other, but collaborate.

Both are mind control tools and must function so. The Presidents need to Priest to drum into the mass consciousness the concept that, 'a man can not be a leader without the approval of God' and the sheep must be forced to accept.

While one controls the physical senses via instrumentality and use of PHYSICAL FORCES, the other controls the mind using MENTAL & SPIRITUAL FORCES.

Both Create and Problem and Offer Solutions all are efforts to generate as much Taxes and Tithes from the Mass of Sheep.


I have more I can write on this subject, but I want you all to know that Mbaka is the Mouthpiece of APC's inner cycle.

What he does is receive the inside information and use the instrumentality of the Priesthood to 'Announce' the Planned Judgement.

There is No Prophesy, but announcement.

Mbaka is a very corrupt thief. And I know this because I know things most humans do not.

If you want absolute Peace of Mind and Happiness; Do not have any Hope on Gov or God of Religions. Do all you can to have self-sustenance and survival without the need for money, but pile up the money anyway.

Do not pay Tithe or Tax. Do not depend on Armed Forces or SPiritual Forces for your protection.

Create a direct InterUniversal Consciousness Connection with the Divine Matrix and you are good to go. There fore, you will be untouchable. Even the forces will smile and get confused just seeing your body-soul complex.

The Supreme court should release a detailed white paper explaining how and why they came to the conclusion of having Uzodinma declared as winner.

I am from Uzodinma's town, he is a famy friend and was very helpful during his days as senator. Many of us from Oru, Orsu, Orlu are happy but confused at the same time. Mixed feelings. It was unexpected I must say. Even legal luminaries and SANs seem to be confused about the judgement too.

In order to make it very clear and unambigous to everyone, from laymen, to law students and law teachers, the SC should publish a detailed report and help Nigerians understand better, because every judgment is a law and sometimes sets a new precedence. Many cases in future will refer to this case as authorities when fighting their own matters in court.

The SC should do the needful and help to make Nigerians understand. Afterall, Man and Law are supposed to be inseperable.

THE IMO GUBERNATORIAL JUDGMENT - A PAINFUL BUT LEGALLY CORRECT VERDICT!

It is indeed a perplexing paradox: Hope Uzodinma may not have won the 2019 Imo State gubernatorial election, yet the Supreme Court, on the facts, was right in declaring him the winner of that election in law. The error was not the Supreme Court's, but that of Governor Emeka Ihedioha's legal team; and it was a crucially fatal error.

What happened was this: During the governorship election in Imo State, apparently concocted results, perhaps not having any basis whatsoever in reality, BUT SIGNED BY INEC PRESIDING OFFICERS, were turned in from more than 350 polling units, giving Hope Uzodinma of the APC an incredibly unassailable lead. When those results were transmitted to the wards collation centres, the collation officers, who had no power in law to cancel or reject them, rejected the said polling units results, and refused to collate them, thereby effectively excluding them from the total tally of the governorship result that was eventually declared by the Returning Officer. In the aftermath of the said exclusion, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Governor Ihedioha the winner of the election.

The exclusion of the results of those polling units was the fulcrum of the petition presented at the Tribunal by Hope Uzodinma. Ever since David Mark V. ABUBAKAR USMAN, and DOMA V. INEC, the law has been settled that neither collation officers nor a returning officer, has the power in law to exclude a polling unit result duly signed by the presiding officer at the polling unit; only the election tribunal possesses the power to cancel or exclude such a result. So, at the point of its presentation, Senator Uzodinma's petition was potentially viable, in spite of the apparent dubiousness of the polling units results on which it was anchored, there being a REBUTTABLE presumption of regularity and correctness, by virtue of both the Electoral Act and Evidence Act, enuring in favour of any result declared by a presiding officer.

The backbreaking and fatal error made by Ihedioha's legal team was not filing a CROSS PETITION fiercely challenging the integrity of the suspect polling units results upon which Uzodinma was relying, and praying the election tribunal to formally nullify the said results. Without a cross petition, none of the grounds under section 138 (1) of the Electoral Act for questioning the elections conducted in those polling units in which Uzodinma "won" could have been competently raised by Governor Ihedioha in his defence to Uzodinma's petition. This was the ratio decidendi of the old Court of Appeal decision in IDRIS V. A.N.P.P.(2008)8 NWLR(PT.1088) Page 1. In the recent Court of Appeal decision in ATIKU ABUBAKAR V. BUHARI, the Court of Appeal again invoked the principle in dismissing Buhari's contention that Atiku ABUBAKAR was born in Cameroun to parents who originally were Camerounians, and thus disqualified from contesting the election. Dismissing the contention, the Court of Appeal held that the issue was incompetent, since Buhari did not file a cross petition.

Ihedioha indeed did set up facts in his Reply to the petition rehashing the serial infractions that led to the exclusion of the results of the said 300 plus polling units. But that was legally not enough, in the absence of a cross petition. Besides, such renditions by a Respondent in a mere Reply or Statement of Defence are clearly incompetent. The reason for the incompetence was was made clear by the Court of Appeal in NATIONAL JUDICIAL COUNCIL & ORS V. HON. JUSTICE JUBRIL BABAJIDE ALADEJANA & ORS(2014) LPELR - 2413 (CA) Page 31, paras C - F, at ratio 3 thus -

"The law is that it is a plaintiff who by his statement of claim primarily nominates issues to be tried in a suit and which he relies on to have the judgment of the Court. For a defendant, it is only necessary to resist the plaintiff's claim on the facts pleaded. It is not for a defendant to set up facts which would convey that it is not just setting up a defence but setting up a new case of his own. He can only do so by way of a counter claim..."

Shorn of the legalese, what the above authority is simply saying is that since the issue nominated for trial by Hope Uzodinma was the unlawfulfulness or otherwise of the exclusion of the results of the 300 plus polling units by the ward collation officers, Ihedioha's defence was therefore necessarily restricted by law to showing that those who excluded the results had the power in law to exclude them. Without a cross petition praying for the nullification of those results, the law forbids Governor Ihedioha as respondent from raising the issue of the alleged serial corrupt practices and irregularities marring the said results, in a mere statement of defence; that was a new issue not nominated by Uzodinma as petitioner. Ihedioha, being a Respondent, could only have competently raised them via a cross petition, being a new issue not nominated by Uzodinma, the petitioner.

Tragically, Ihedioha's legal team forgot to include the pivotal cross petition. And in the absence of a cross petition, the Supreme Court was right in law, painfully though it may seem, to rely on the presumption of regularity and correctness enshrined by both the Electoral Act and Evidence Act in favour of the said results, and to reckon with them and add them up to the final result, since Ihedioha's legal team had woefully failed to effectively attack the results and rebut that presumption. For the Supreme Court, this was the legally correct conclusion to come to, having found that INEC had no power in law to exclude polling units results duly affirmed by the various polling units presiding officers.

Seems are very emotional, even when I was starting to think you are objective.

I did not say I am an APC member, neither am I even a PDP. I am from Orlu zone, a zone that is more like a 'born to rule' zone in Imo. Uzodinma put my close relatives in the Aviation sector when he oversaw that ministry as a Senator, so why should I be angry about his victory? I have benefitted from him. But should I throw away my critical thinking cap because of that like some of you do here? I am not illiterate!


I am a business man and and if there any policy, law, factor in my business that I do not understand, even if it favours me, I might feel agitated until I understand it wholesale. Understanding issues fully, gives me the edge to use it at my advantage. Else it might come around to use be used against me in future. That's the situation.

As a political pundit that you claim you are, you should explain issues without emotional rancour and with thorough objectivity.

I still maintain that even some hardcore APC members are still perplexed by the judgement. Take a tour around NL and read from your comrades like helinus on the thread below.

I guess you're a jurist. thanks for the piece by piece breakdown of the SC ruling.

the judìciary still maintains the guiding principle of rule of law. am happy.

however, from your analysis it is obvious that the independent national electoral commission cannot be trusted to conduct a credible ,free & fair election.

a collation officer rejecting electoral results duly signed by a presiding officer, a classic example of incompetence, bribery and corruption.

You're going all over the place trying to justify illegality and wickedness just because you want APC in the south-east!

The so called supreme court were acting out a script.....and considering how Buharis' gov't has bullied and harrassed them, it's more than likely they've been blackmailed into doing his bidding!

The supreme court is the leading judicial authority in the land, and are in a position to set judicial precedent on matters which have wide-reaching, national implications for justice and fairness! As it stands, they are the law, so don't give me that cra'p that their hands were tied and they were just following the law! I'm sure you've heard the saying before that 'the law is an ass'? What happened yesterday was a travesty of justice and lends credence to that assertion of the law being an ass!

Did they ask what reasons INEC had for cancelling votes from those units? They should have taken their decision based on the weight of evidence and proof INEC presented before them to back up their claim that Uzodinma presented illegally thumbprinted ballot papers! THEY ARE THE LAW and can make a ruling based on the facts before them...thereby following the spirit of the law and not just the letter of the law! Their pronouncements will now set judicial precedent, and in future, any thieving politician that wants to use the instrumentality of the state to rig elections will know that once evidence of said rigging is presented before the courts, he will be turfed out on his ass faster than he can say, 'hey...wetin happen?'

Fact of the matter is the judiciary is now in the pockets of that bigoted despot that calls himself president! They've been cajoled, threatened and bullied to do his bidding, so Nigerians should just wave goodbye to having a free and independent judiciary that can stand as a bulwark between them and executive lawlessness!

One morning,
Citizen Hope Uzodinma woke up,
by nightfall he was the Governor of a State.

Same morning, Governor Emeka Ihedioha woke up, hearing 'Good Morning Your Excellency' before he even took his morning bath, by nightfall, he was a regular citizen.

God, we hail thee!...........Dee! wink

Guy shut up na, enough of this foolishness you keep on displaying

1.When PDP was in power, they did exactly the same thing, and even worse.

2.Having said that, Buhari was voted on an agenda of change...and was supposed to be different. Sadly he is worse.

3.You Nigerians should just get rid of APC and PDP...and try someone else.
What makes you think APC and PDP members will not migrate to another party? What we actually need is change in system and we need a self sustaining system that works not dependent on individuals.
