For one to be admitted into the faculty of Law you must have 5 credits and ENGLISH language. . That's even if you have 8A in all the subject and fail to credit your ENGLISH language you will never be admitted to Law faculty or department. This is simple. 5 credits and ENGLISH. That's you MUST CREDUT ENGLISH to be admitted to Law Faculty. Go and check.





quote author=samdemmis post=122625804]If 25% of vote in Abuja (FCT) is solely required to win presidential election in Nigeria, every candidate will just focus on winning more than 75% of FCT vote. Let’s look at it from this angle: if a candidate wins all the 36 states with majority votes but failed to secure 25% in Abuja, is the candidate a winner or not? During Obasanjo’s regime , it has been declared by the court and constitution that Abuja has the same status as other 36 states. The constitution is not ambiguous. [/quote]

The Constitution by that section granted Special Status to Abuja as the Federal Capital Territory even though it may still be interpreted as a State.

As long as Tinubu did not score 25% in Abuja, he is an illegal President Elect based on the constitution. Reason most world leaders are not congratulating him.

In WAEC You have 9 Subjects and for you to Gain admission in LAW FACULTY you must CREDIT FIVE SUBJECTS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE .If you credit 8 subjects and FAIL ENGLISH you won't gain admission into Law faculty. Is the same thing with 36 state and a territory. All are SUBJECTS but ENGLISH was made mandatory. Likewise states are the same but ABUJA was made mandatory to be sworn in as a PRESIDENT In NIGERIA you must secure 25% of of 36 state
and Abuja .

I believe u brought this cos of the confused interpretation by some on what the electoral law stipulates. From what u posted, it is obvious the territory is not a state, if it were a state u would have have correctly said 37 states... Why do we allow simple English to get us confused?
For example, let's use a class of 9 boys and 1 girl. I may say for u to emerge the class-rep, two-thirds of the 9 boys and the girl must be willing to give u half portions of their daily meal. Now this does not mean that for anyone to emerge, they must get two-third of half the daily meals of the 9 boys and half the daily meal of the only girl. A girl is not a boy, so u don't expect me to say 10 boys, that is where the AND comes in. The right interpretation be same as if I assume the only girl is a boy and say two-third of 10 boys or two-thirds of the 10 students. In the case of our country, "AND" there shouldn't confuse anyone, it is only so cos FCT is not a state and that is the only way of accommodating the entity (FCT) into the grammatical expression.

well done with this clarification @rtdCivilservant

so whether minimum ¼ OR ⅔ OR 100% of the class boys (AND the girl) consented to the meal deal, balubalu agenda was unequivocally & serially repealed by the FCT..😩😩

(AND the girl) means that whosoever brokers the major chunk of her meal becomes her choice, NO minimum percentage applies unlike the boys; but even still..

NO deal for balubalu

Agreed a girl is not a boy and further agreed ordinarily fct is not a state but the supreme court of Nigeria has already ruled years ago that fct must be treated as a state in all respect..And it is the duty of the supreme court to give a final interpretation to any law in Nigeria.

Let me ask you, if this situation is reversed and your candidate Obi met all other criteria but this Abuja 25% imbroglio is brought against him by Asiwaju, would you have said all you just said?

On the forfeited sum in the US, much as I believe Asiwaju owes no one explanation for a case as far back as more than 30yrs prior but for posterity, I'll tell you that US law has no place for plea bargaining in narcotics if you're found guilty of the act. No one talks about Atiku's US criminal case, no one talks about Obi's Pandora case, none talks about Obi's UK detention and the basis. It's all about Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu!!!

Please show your workings. Anyone who shows very clear workings and gets the answer has solved the 25% electoral requirement quagmire that is confusing many people.

the first question is non of the above( option E) because 25% 0f 100= 25 so 25×36 = 900 and 25% of 120= 30. So adding both entities up u get 930 as ur final answer which is not in the option.

For anyone to be declared winner it is not mandatory that the candidate must score 25% of the votes cast in Abuja(FCT) provided the candidate is able to ganer 25% of the total of 37 entities.

But the law doesn't state so. The Word "must" is included in that section and it precede the requirements, so whatever must apply to the 36 States must apply to the FCT.

Why are we twisting simple English upside down...

Please show your workings. Anyone who shows very clear workings and gets the answer has solved the 25% electoral requirement quagmire that is confusing many people.

1) Minimum employees for recruitment.
A recruiting firm advertised for a job and people from 36 States and a Territory applied. The recruiting firm was tasked to recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory. If there are 100 people in each of the States and 120 people from the Territory, what's the minimum number of people the firm should at least employ?

To determine the minimum number of people the firm should employ, we need to first determine which States and the Territory qualify for the 25% requirement.

At least two-thirds of the 36 States and the Territory is 24 States and the Territory. To qualify for the 25% requirement, a State or Territory must have at least 25 people applying for the job (25% of 100 applicants).

Therefore, the following States and the Territory qualify:

24 States with at least 25 applicants each
1 Territory with at least 25 applicants
For the States with at least 25 applicants each, the total number of applicants from those States is:

24 States x 100 applicants per State = 2,400 applicants

For the Territory with at least 25 applicants, the number of applicants from the Territory is:

120 applicants from the Territory

The total number of applicants from the qualifying States and the Territory is:

2,400 + 120 = 2,520 applicants

To determine the minimum number of people the firm should employ, we need to take at least 25% of the total number of applicants:

25% of 2,520 applicants = 630 employees

Therefore, the firm should at least employ 630 people.

The first question's answer is 630.
A quarter of 100 is 25
Two-third of 36 is 24
24 * 25 = 600
A quarter of 120 (territory) is 30
600 + 30 = 630

Check the constitution again....no body is confused. You are the only one confused because this is the first time its happening in our elections.

Since 1999 all president elect won 25% and FCT, except this 2023 election.

In this case thats why FCT is considered a state. Its in the constitution, thats if you know where it is written.

Dont get it twisted, it was same with Washington Dc in the united states of America, but now their votes are as ordinary as every other states.

Unless you concluded Falana is aslo a confused lawyer.

Why not give FCT same 100?

You will calculate for the next 8 years, anyways...

The answer is 630 in both cases (questions).

The use of 'and' indicates that the FCT shoul be taken as a seperate entity. The same calculation you could use in a computer AND logic gate: Both criteria at the two sides of AND must be satisfied to give the desired output. Hence, 25% in the FCT is required.

If the constitution intended otherwise, the clause would've been 'with the fct inclusive' or any other similar clause.

Larryndelaw:
Abuja to be Special status. So you are saying the votes cast in Abuja is special than the one cast in your village or people in Abuja ar special than people in your village. Do you know the constitution says that every vote cast in the country are equal ? Pls stop your nonsense by making Abuja to be special

it's not special status. It's the condition for winning election.

We have 36 states but you only need 25% in 24 states.

Does that mean those 24 states are special? No, it is only the condition.

Including Abuja as a requirement is nothing special but only inclusiveness just as the other 24 states.

Did you see the word "including" in the Math problem given?. The word "and" simply means that FCT is to be counted too and not excluded because it doesn't have all the elements of a State. The purpose of that provision is to ensure that FCT residents are not disenfranchised. It is actually crazy to say that for anyone to be President of Nigeria, he must have 25% in any particular place. Think about it.
