There are two types of probability - mutually exclusive events and independent events.

In probability theory, two events are mutually exclusive or disjoint if they do not occur at the same time. Turning left or turning right is an example of mutually exclusive event (you can't do both at the same time). Statements involving mutually exclusive events are connected by "or."

However, independent events are those events whose occurrence is not dependent on any other event. This involves two events which have no effect on each other. When two substatements are connected with "and," each of the substatements is independent of another.

Independent events don't influence one another or have any effect on how probable another event is. Other examples of pairs of independent events include: Taking an Uber ride and getting a free meal at your favourite restaurant.

A statement that contains two independent events will have two substatements connected by "and."

What the constitution says:
There are two (2) conditions for determining a winner of a presidential election:

1. A presidential candidate must secure the highest number of votes cast at the election

2. He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT.

Conclusion

Since the second criterion, according to Nigeria constitution, for a presidential candidate to be declared winner is a statement connected by "and," therefore it consists of two independent substatements. A candidate must therefore secure at least 1/4th (25%) of votes cast in 2/3rd of the entire 36 States of Nigeria (that is in 24 states). Also, the candidate must also secure not less than 25% of the votes cast at the FCT.

If, from the federation account, you want to share ₦10 million to all states of the federation. I believe the money would be shared equally to all the states and FCT and not the states sharing ₦10million and FCT getting ₦10million.

Armaggedon:
deceptive analogy. If asked to share 10 millions in such a way that a minimum of 200000 naira will go to each of at least 24 states and the federal capital Territory, can you exclude the FCT?

Sangoamadioha1:
If, from the federation account, you want to share ₦10 million to all states of the federation. I believe the money would be shared equally to all the states and FCT and not the states sharing ₦10million and FCT getting ₦10million.

Sangoamadioha1:



My analogy says share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and FCT, would you share the money amongst the 36 states and FCT or you would share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and give ₦10million to FCT

Sangoamadioha1:
I[b]f, from the federation account, you want to share ₦10 million to all states of the federation[/b]. I believe the money would be shared equally to all the states and FCT and not the states sharing ₦10million and FCT getting ₦10million.

Sangoamadioha1:



My analogy says share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and FCT, would you share the money amongst the 36 states and FCT or you would share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and give ₦10million to FCT

OfoIgbo:


But both the Appeal court and the supreme court of Nigeria have ruled and affirmed the meaning of the 25% of the Abuja votes.

Tinubu is done for

Sangoamadioha1:



My analogy says share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and FCT, would you share the money amongst the 36 states and FCT or you would share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and give ₦10million to FCT

DesChyko:


Like he said, deceptive analogy.

The statement was not the whole but a portion of the whole to at least 2/3rds of a first entity and a second entity.

Sangoamadioha1:



The bone of contention here is, if the law says 36 states and FCT makes up the federation, does that grant FCT special status in the scheme of things.
Now use this to analyze my analogy.

DesChyko:


Like he said, deceptive analogy.

The statement was not the whole but a portion of the whole to at least 2/3rds of a first entity and a second entity.

ItooWorWor:


Which second entity?

Sangoamadioha1:




That guy is confused, i don't believe he knows the issue on ground.

ItooWorWor:


Second entity means Abuja is not part of Nigeria according to him.

Sangoamadioha1:
If, from the federation account, you want to share ₦10 million to all states of the federation. I believe the money would be shared equally to all the states and FCT and not the states sharing ₦10million and FCT getting ₦10million.

SenatePresdo:


Shared Equally?

As all the states have shared Governors and state Assemblies Equally, why is it that FCT doesn't have their own share of having a Governor?

The fact remains that FCT and other States are not of the same value.

Sangoamadioha1:



So educate me on how the money will be shared.

Sangoamadioha1:



My analogy says share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and FCT, would you share the money amongst the 36 states and FCT or you would share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and give ₦10million to FCT

AntiTerrorist:
If the bolded is the instruction, FCT will get nothing. Your analogy does not tally.

@masseratti, do you know more than SANs and Professors? How many of them do you have in your family?

Sangoamadioha1:



My analogy says share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and FCT, would you share the money amongst the 36 states and FCT or you would share the ₦10million amongst the 36 states and give ₦10million to FCT

Now use this to analyze my analogy.

ItooWorWor:


Which second entity?

DesChyko:


I can see you can't distinguish between this and these so I expect it'll be quite a reach to expect you to understand the meaning of entity as a word. 🚶🏾‍♂️

ItooWorWor:


You are confuse.

TheFactMan:
The fact$$$$
1. On realizing that Buhari was not going to allow him rig the last presidential election and that the election permutations was not in his favor, Tinubu rushed to the Saudis, IOC and UAE to report Buhari.
2. He Tinubu showed the Saudis and IOC the doctored PO conversation with Oyedepo. He accused po of going to advance Christianity in Nigeria and should never be allowed.
3. He assured the Saudis and IOC of his commitment to advancing Islam in Nigeria starting with his mu mu ticket.
4. The Saudis and IOC summoned Buhari, instructed him to ensure that BAT wins the election at all costs.
5. Buhari that was not supporting BAT changed his mind. First he showed his supporters whom to vote for by publicly displaying his ballot paper.
6. He instructed Yakubu to return BAT at all cost.
7. He Buhari knows that BAT was not the best choice for Nigeria that’s why he has been going around asking for forgiveness. People may not know why.
