Its time to pass a strong warning to other countries entertaining any thoughts of a coup that it won't be business as usual, by the way Russia unlike the USA are very pragmatic they won't interfere as they have interests in other countries in West Africa and not just Niger .

yarimo:
so UWAZURUIKE was also looking for appointment? You were smart and knowledgeable before 2023 election. I don't know what went wrong

MEGA4BILLION:
NFF is one of the most corrupt agency in Nigeria. It is as if they are not under the supervision of any ministry

taylor88:
Nigeria has the world highest unemployment rate on earth

Nigeria is the world poverty capital on earth

Tinubu left what he’s supposed to be working on and wants to spend billions of dollars to fight his fellow illegitimate criminal

You thief mandate another man thief him own mandate you say he should return his own while you’re holding your own tight

How can a thief betray his fellow thief

80% of Niger citizens are happy about the coup

So what exactly is Ebolas problem

If I talk now una go say I hate Nigeria and Tinubu

Bcuz if I type wetin dey my finger now everywhere go burst

We’ve hunger, security, livelihood issues in Nigeria and all Tinubu cares for is Niger

I no wan talk because e go loud

Hedonisco:
I mentioned that there is a technical difference between Abuja and the FCT. This technical difference is crucial, and is what concerned 'indigenes' need to study and familiarise themselves with the constitution about.

Then again, I have nothing against an 'indigene' being made the FCT Minister. What I'm concerned about, as I believe Dr Joe Abah rightly suggested, is the likely agitation that the FCT Minister position should become, by convention, their birth right. A Gbagyi man can be appointed as FCT Minister, but it shouldn't be seen as an entitlement or as a right. We know how Nigerians can be unreasonable with these agitations. This is a very valid fear because such an agitation would make nonsense of the very idea of a Federal Capital Territory as enshrined in our constitution.

An Abuja State could have been created for them, totally different from the FCT, so that they can 'enjoy' whatever perceived benefits that arise from statehood. Then again, it is mostly them that retain the council chairmen for the Abuja councils by convention which is a fair enough deal. I don't understand why they're going further to ask for the FCT Ministry to be ceded to them.

It is dangerous to allow this tribal entitlement 'na we get am' mindset creep into our FCT which is the product of Nigeria's oil wealth and the collectivity of Nigerians.

Hedonisco:
Clarify the basis for your question in the context of the discussion so that I'll reply accordingly.

Hedonisco:
Don't be stupid. FCT is already constitutionally designated as a Nigerian "no man's land" of sorts, that's why it is called the FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY. Don't be an illiterate barbarian.

I 100% support the Joe Abah. I can't stand the idiotic and unfair indigenous agitations that are rife in Nigeria. It is bad enough in Lagos where federal money and the collective effort of Nigerians was used to develop the land, only for a few insufferable so-called 'indigenes' (more correctly tribesmen) to start asserting ownership and insulting the sensibilities of others.

Imagine the FCT which is Nigeria's melting pot, developed with billions of dollars of Nigeria's money, shaped by ALL Nigerian tribes, now being claimed by some lazy members of a local tribe as theirs. Not gonna happen!

Let them agitate for a state to be carved out of Abuja (Abuja is technically different from FCT) if they are desirous of having their own state. Maybe portions of Abaji and adjourning areas - where they can have their own governor and senators and whatnot. But they can't claim FCT because the FCT constitutionally belongs to the Federal Government, hence to all Nigerians.

I don't like encouraging rubbish.

gerrardomendes:
You live in a country ruled by a criminal Yoruba man just because an Igbo man is not seen as being good enough to be president. What do you have to say about that. What's the difference between Coup d'etat and Ballot d'etat. Tinubu has taught Africans that power is not served a la carte.

Funflipper:
After his impeachment, he should hang his copycat khaki outfits in his wardrobe because the borrowed identity won't work for him anymore as his political career is now comatose.

pendragonbladgo:
Some here just talk any how....

In Nigeria, since we are not whites, is it normal for a woman of 44years to be single?
She can't live with a Man. Our Black tradition and religion enjoys women to be married!

Shetty is not fit!
She can't run a family so she can't run a nation. Nigeria is not a joke at the moment, it's a real business. Jonathan did such mistake.

Ebubu3:
it’s fantastically crazy. Thereby causing Labor commotion after the budget has been prepared and passed. Coming after the food has been shared to claim your meat was small. Why were you when it was being shared? You’ll now be stressing unnecessary students with strike.

Ebubu3:
i understand you. Same problem ASUU have. They’ll sit and fold their hands while new national budget for education is passed and education in the budget has very paltry sum, one of the least. Later midway into the year they’ll start striking. If they partake in the budget planning they can raise their budget substantially but no! They’ll be busy at that point sorting.

Ebubu3:
Why were these policies and modalities not set into motion by Buhari since 2021 so that by 2022 or early 2023, we will be reliant on CNG then fuel subsidy can be removed.

Why commencing this policy that as they said will be completed early next year ? Why put the cart in front of the horse instead of horse in front of cart? This thing should had been done and concluded before subsidy was removed.

Our misleaders like to suffer us. This is how they came about with new currency and cashless policy that they made no provisions for.


This is commendable but damnly late.

Unnecessary sufferings will be created.

PlayerMeji:
Which one precedes the other?

Election or Appointment?

Election come before appointment...so if you clearly show your utter disdain for me during the campaign, how would you expect me to make a pick from your choice men when I win.

Even a slowpoke will not do what you are saying...ita like equipping ones enemy that will fight him.

Jonathan did that and he paid the price for that!

Xscape1993:
If not for hunger....

ruggedtimi:
Why this bazoum guy no retire the presidential guard boss

Corn247:
Op right now

Franzinni:
I understand you point but I wonder is it not a government morgue? If they found that the bodies didn't have anyone to claim since why did they keep them so long? Let say they kept them for the duration of the case but through out 2020 the Lagos state and the nation denied any casualties, so you mean to tell me they had 103 corpses in thier custody all the while they were claiming no body died ?Anyway they try to paint it bros, it will still Ballance on magomago

Franzinni:
granted they are factoring the cost of keeping the bodies but if you want to be fair with it, how many times have they used people who are identifiable and claimable for cadaver in medical situations? Now the 103 people are unclaimed and unidentified so why dont they bow use them for medical research instead of a mass grave and then use the 61m to do something that is beneficial to the masses... The reason why is that they want to do what Nigerians do... Mind you those bodies were stored in government facilities so what is the billing for ? Are they not Nigerian?

Franzinni:
61 M .... These people have been moving billions so 60m to them is just like 60naira. Nigeria will never grow without a conscious focus to effect growth rather it will continue to be constricted by those we appoint to lead the way.

Kukutente23:
Which Christian leaders are those? You mean Christians are only in PDP and there are no Christians in APC?
I don't accept that at all. If that were the case, Obi will win only Christian states and we all know that did not happen.

flyingdutchman:
Not true. That account has been opened since 2010! And Ifeanyi Adeleke was a girl Abi?

farem:
No one can confidently say that Governor Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos state was around when. Governors Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode held sway.
His own style of road construction has defied logic. From. Isawo-Agric road, Igbogbo - Bayeku axis roads Demuren (ketu) roads and many more, one could point out one thing: GROSS INEFFICIENCY, INDIFFERENCE TO PLIGHT OF THE MASSES, WASTAGE AND GRAND CORRUPTION.
Roads meant to be fixed for certain speculated period are alarmingly left to lay uncompleted for as long as TIMES FIVE of the period.
Demuren toad was billed to be completed just for slightly above a year is just 30%done after about four years.
Agric - Isawo Road that should be constructed for almost the same period is 7 years and less than 35% completion.
One should not even talk about roads in Bayeku Igbogbo axis.
Pẹople are left to suffer. Resources are seen clearly been wasted.
Many Contractors mobilized are clearly incapable.

Below are the glimpse of what Agric Ikorodu people pass through everyday. These pictures were taken yesterday.
KINDLY POST THE SITUATIONS IN YOUR LOCATIONS TO DRIVE HOME THIS COMPLAINT

Mitsurugi:
Really? But aside the judgment didn't INEC itself vow to follow and enforce that particular guideline. It is sad how we allow partisanship eat into our psyche like this

PaellaPaella:
Those plastic boxes you saw in the court is what? and why don't INEC bring out their own too?

PaellaPaella:
Where is INEC copy? INEC FAILED TO PROVIDE THERE OWN COPY

DesChyko:
Did Wole and Sons read the written address at all? Even I didn't miss it.

hardbody:
This postulation only applies to criminal suits not civil matters such as election petitions. In civil matters, the courts look at the preponderance of probable evidence presented before it. The law is that judgment will be entered against that person who fails to lead evidence to prove its case in a civil matter. Stop misleading people with your half- knowledge.

XY23:
Lol. Let me try and understand your arguments for once. It is true that neither PO nor AA could prove they won the highest lawful votes cast. I read both responses thoroughly. But guess what? The 1st respondents couldn't prove that BAT did same. Why? the umpire (INEC) simply conducted elections and flew the evidence to Mars (figurative). They couldn't defend what they declared (e.g. EC38A for rivers). PO was able to prove however, that he won in Rivers and Benue (making a total of 14 states).

Now, the thrust of both petitions is NON-COMPLIANCE with electoral law. It has also been established that INEC guidelines are not rhetoric, they're backed by the law with which it operates.

Possible verdict: Rerun (unless the court feels such departure from the law is not substantial). The FCT issue will set a precedent, no need arguing about that. Whether BAT will partake in the rerun or not depends on the other issues. In all, let justice be seen to be done.
