PoliticsRe: Tribunal Orders Service Of Atiku’s Petition On Buhari by bixton(m): 1:59pm On Mar 27, 2019
“An order directing the 1st Respondent to issue Certificate of Return to the 1st Petitioner as the duly elected President of Nigeria.

“That it may be determined that the 2nd Respondent was at the time of the election not qualified to contest the said election.

“That it may be determined that the 2nd Respondent submitted to the Commission affidavit containing false information of a fundamental nature in aid of his qualification for the said election”.

In the alternative, the petitioners prayed the tribunal to nullify the February 23 presidential election and order a fresh poll.



If PDP have a strong case as they claim with 400 witnesses they will not putting up such alternatives, especially alternatives 2, 3 and 4.
This just shows they are just trying to put up for media trials and nothing more.
All these INEC server, finger print forensic expert, etc, etc, are just a funny way to put up a case.
Is there any correlation between the INEC server and finger print gotten from the card readers to authentication/validation of votes as claimed by PDP?
It appears most of these fellows did not vote and are only trying to make fool of the populace.

Aventures:
Your analysis is great but a bit theoretical, if the floor is adequately reinforced, the volume of reinforcement should also be deducted from the overall volume you get. Also remember that at 6 bags per cubic meter for 1:2;4 is achievable at maximum compaction. Like I said the qty the guy used is a "bit" high no that it is crazily high. Such a Job should be delivered btw 280-300 bag max.
Judging by your parameters one can say such could still be achieved using 260 sound bags of cement.

If I get you right, what you are doing presently is the decking of your two flats of 2 bedroom. If that is the case, then 312 bags if cement in overall is a bit on the high side. The mix ratio he is using in a more reasonable term is 1:4:6 which is poor for decking. The common minimum standard is 1:2:4(1 headpan of cement to 2 of sand and 3 of granite) also from your statement it seems the guy is using hand mixing and lastly why is he casting in bits.
Good day Sir,
Please can you state like how many bags of cement will do the decking slab as the Op stated of about 288sqm neglecting the beams using the 1:2:4 ratio?

What is rotational presidency? When was it created? Well,the rest of the South isn't complaining about a northern presidency except the sw.
Eleven states in the south are ok with it.
The remaining six can keep groaning.
I guess you're part of the team that sat down to make the decision.

My brother this rotation of a thing needs to be written down, in life you trust no one, the North may not take it now but in future with the way their population is growing they will take it as theirs.

If it is written the South has no reason to beg support from the North wheever they want to contest for presidency.

If the SE is not given the ticket, the North will continue ruling that's the truth, because the east will surely support a Northerner. At the end the South loses, VP is nothing compared to president, even a Senate president has more power than him. What the South needs come 2023 is a president and not a VP.

Even the SW voted more for PDP than the SE in this election, some consider it greediness for West wanting a go at the presidency. The truth is we need an understanding down south fast otherwise, South is finished.
The SE is not yet ready for the presidential slot due to the way they play politics.
Just because its rotational does not make a section play one sided politics expecting it.
Let me give you a simple scene in Rivers State. Prior to Wike's emergence as governor, it is alleged that there's no PDP structure in the state even when the governor office is supposed to be the turn of the riverine area. You know what happened afterwards. This is just a state. How much when it comes to the number one office in the nation.


The office of the president is a game of chess where even the king and queen are even pawns.
Those who have the eyes will set certain machineries in place to be able to come out.

President is going to the North and APGA will field a Igbo/Hausa ticket in Lagos.

SE/SS will present a consensus ticket during ApC primaries just to humiliate SW.

Really the SS/SE will humiliate the SW? Not possible.
Except you're trying to mean they intend to humiliate some specific persons.
You need to understand the real politics of the SW first.

Give SE the slot for both parties. Is better that way.

This will mend the broken South alliance
This is for equity and fairness
It allows the South to actually sponsored a bill that should make it madatory for presidency to be rotated every 8 yrs. ( This is important bcus Northern population will continue to rise) this will help the future of South. We can continue doing our family planning in peace.
Don't take such statement too serious.
The presidency is rotational and needs not to be written.
These persons are just peddlers trying to seek attention.
Naturally its supposed to go to the East but as long as they barely played any significant impact in the last election it will move to the West. That's as far as APC will move.
The PDP will have to think of something, but fielding a northern aspirant for president then that will be their uttermost downfall.
PoliticsRe: North Will Field Better Candidate For 2023 Presidency – Shettima by bixton(m): 12:04pm On Mar 22, 2019
We are very far from 2023 and we are reading fanatical statements all over social media.
It's simply logical that rotation is between North and South irrespective of party.
If the PDP thinks it will field a northern candidate to run for president 2023 then they will be up for surprises.
All these drum beatings will not favour those with over zealous selfish interest.
All these greedy personal mischief makers will loose at their own game.
PoliticsRe: Supreme Court Decision On The Use Of Card Reader In An Election by bixton(m): 7:02am On Mar 21, 2019
Ratello:
This year there will be a change because it was the first time it was used in 2015 but this year the INEC chairman confirmed that it will be accredited as part of our elections and going by the provisions of the Amended Electoral Laws, it is a good stand to defend the usage of the card reader to authenticate the validity of results in case of legal tussles.
If you actually voted then you'll not be saying that except..............
The next thing to do would probably to tell the court and INEC to cancel the election, and that will also not happen because there's no fund to conduct fresh elections in this country.
All they are trying to do is come up with a strategy that was pre-planned but its actually not working, judging by the way they filed their case.

magicminister:
I don’t have all the details right now but PVC readers will play a huge factor in the outcome of Atiku’s accusation.
The pvc readers collate the data on voter Including their finger print which the forensic expert will cross check with thumbprinted ballot papers using one of the numerous softwares used to verify finger print. It’s actually easier than you think.

One fact though is that the elect is a sharp deviation from what we had in 2015,
Are you sure you voted?
How many persons can attest to the fact that any card reader used nation wide validated their pvc cards with their finger prints before actual voting?

Every previous election is a deviation from the present.
PoliticsRe: INEC Server Shows Buhari Lost 2019 Election - Atiku, PDP Claim by bixton(m): 7:06pm On Mar 20, 2019
nwanyionitsha:
We learnt that a lot of places in the north, the card readers were not used at all.
Remember, inec insisted the card reader must be used.
The same rules of allowing voters vote without the use of card readers didnt apply in many areas especially the areas of the opposition's strength.
That is part of the reason for the court case .
The card readers also failed massively in the areas of the opposition's strength and a large number of voters were disenfranchised in these areas but in the areas of strength of the ruling party, they were allowed to vote without the card readers.
The same thing happened in 2015 but Gej let it go.
That's what has been happening......
The case of the opposition does not really hold water and can't be said to be a firm one.
The opposition will have to show clear proof of where exactly is their stronghold(s) and not necessarily what people say on social media platforms.
PoliticsRe: INEC Server Shows Buhari Lost 2019 Election - Atiku, PDP Claim by bixton(m): 5:32pm On Mar 20, 2019
nwanyionitsha:
The card reader must read your card or your name must be on inecs list/eegister.
During the presidential, the card reader read my card,but didn't identify my finger prints (they only checked my thumb print). They had to manually locate my name on the register and i had to sign.
For the governorship, they tried all my fingers for prints and i think the card reader identified some of my fingers cos they gave me the ballot without the stress i faced during the presidential.
That's practically what happened every place though with slight different patterns as it suits the ad hoc staffs to speed up their work.
The nature and manner Atiku/Lawyers/PDP are putting up their case tells one that they are not even confident of what they are doing. They are only trying to point out flaws we already know which have been favourable to them times past.

Please I'm asking this for a friend.

To the doctors and health practitioners we have here, how can one end sleepless nights?

I met this friend recently (a girl actually) on a WhatsApp group chat. It was 1am and I was bored by what I was doing so I started replying to the messages in the group chat. This girl replied too and I jokingly asked her why she was still awake at that time, she didn't seem so comfortable to answer the question in the group chat so we went private.

She explained that for over 5 years now she doesn't sleep at night. I was moved cos I'm the type that value sleep a lot.

Please what can she do to start sleeping again? According to her, she has taken so many medications yet to no avail. What could be a lasting solution to this.

She is not my girlfriend please, I'm just concerned and trying to help

Your opinions are highly appreciated.
Thanks

In case I made mistakes in my grammar, please pardon me.
There's a history to every case. One ought to know it and be able to recommend the best means to resolve it.

He Then Said "in The Alternative,the Election Should Be Set Aside Based On Irregularities..."

NOTE : "IN THE ALTERNATIVE"

So Those Two Were Just Alternatives.That Is They Want The Tribunal To Declare Atiku Winner Or Cancel The Election.

Thank you my brother, with all this vast knowledge that many of these professionals give us online for free of charge. Although there are alot of good professionals out here that help to provide information for free, which we are very appreciative of their kind gestures. This is an advertisement for their line of services and that's how we compare their competencies. On the other hand, there are others that are here to rip people off of their hard earned money. Most of these bad ones targeted disaporates that have not returned home for some time. The good ones in my opinion compare their professional service fee to the ones that render services aboard. Many of them forget in this part of the world, the system is completely different, from paying taxes and levies through their professional licenses. Many of these professionals are held accountable for any mistake that may consume them and their professional licenses, or even often end up sitting in jail for years. I am not saying that any professional should be working for free, I don't mind as humans for professionals to charge extra 2-3% for their services. In most cases, some of these professionals after over quoting materials and still charge extra 25-35% above average and subcontract most of the job to those artisan, this is where I have a serious problem with them. Especially with my engineering background. Many of them may not know what we do for living aboard. They forget before many of us approach to enagage them, we have done our intensive research to challenge whatever numbers they submit for the jobs.
There are standard rates and there are subsidized rates based on percentages and I don't think it has anything to do with competition with professionals in the same field resident and practising overseas.
I think this discuss have been talked upon in previous pages and if I'm not mistaken in certain instances "Chekitaut" is known to mention 10% as professional fees for engineers. And he is known to work with some of the best and trusted professionals on the platform.


Can you kindly explain how you arrive at knowing charges are as high as 25-35% even when they have over quoted?
