ALFADOS:
how can a state house of assembly member of the same local government that the said ballots paper weren't sign won his case in which his election took place with the governor same time and his ballots paper were signed and the governor own are not signed. What sort of election process is that one?

Hmmm.

Ododo, Diri: INEC issues Certificates of Return to elected Govs, Deputies.

On November 11, Ododo (APC) and Diri (PDP) were elected Governors of Kogi and Bayelsa States respectively.

This one Yahaya is showing his big head everywhere.

Yes we know it's more or less his third term by proxy, but he should stop shoving it in our face!! Dammit! 😡😡

Hmm. The young Buhari was unexpectedly clear and articulate in his speech.

. . .and handsome

Chai. So sad. May he RIP.

Melezenawii:
Why are you crying

Because it's sad?? 🙄

Oh really?? This happened while Tinubu was still in Saudi?? Kai this is a slap on the face

I read one article of a lady raped by a barber here on Nairaland and I was shocked.

People were saying she wanted sex that's why she allowed them to be together in a room... she must have enjoyed.

Rape apologists better get cured of their stupidity here. You MUST get explicit consent. If you get to the West, they might give you the right medicine for your illness.

Ask Ba aka Oyinbogoju who got 40 years to Life in Prisonment.

Out of curiosity though, what exactly does that (bolded) mean?

Baby do you want to F**k
Yes hon, I want to f##k.
Okay sign here

I can see a lot of comments claiming it's consensual sex gone wrong.

Well, It's possible, and to be honest I suspect the fairly light sentence was in recognition of that fact.

But let's look at the issues:

The lady might have agreed, but from legal standpoint, her inebriated state precludes her ability to give consent, and the man should have recognized that, and let her be.

Then we consider the context: it happened in a female restroom. Let's be clear, a female going to a male toilet might be overlooked as a mildly amusing, but vice versa is a grave crime - signs of a pervert, and fits the rapist tag.

Then of course you cannot discount the race issue. With all these, the odds were heavily against the man.

The reason why Nigeria is the way it is today is because people don't get punished for their crimes. Your brother squandered 2M on betting, instead of you guys to allow the owners of the monies handle him, you decided to pay. What does that tell him? He's told that for each time he messes up, someone is on standby to clean up his mess. You don't know the monster you're grooming. I have a brother like that. He's 35 and doesn't think of anything other than betting. If someone is at the point of death in the hospital and you give him money to take to the hospital for treatment, the money is gone. He rather have that person die than for him not to play. For ten years, I have been saying he should be allowed to face punishment for his crimes, even if it means him going to prison or getting killed, but my parents will say it'll bring shame to the family. Today, they are the ones looking for him to take him to prison. He has become a thief, a fraudster, and a mad person. No thanks to bet9ja. Almost ten years after graduating from school, no meaningful career, no business, no wife, nothing nothing. Sadly, it doesn't even bother him as long as he has access to play. Most of his mates are doing fine for themselves, some not very fine but they are putting in the work. But him, it must be bet9ja. He's destroyed every single relationship he has built from birth because of what he has done with their money. Yet, this guy has not been to prison once. Continue to pet your brother you hear? E go soon shock una

Simple advice, take your brother to prison now. For everytime you clear his debt, you're grooming a monster.

Hmm. No be small thing. This betting issue . . .

The most hated governor in the history of Imo state suddenly got more votes than all the presidential candidates in the 2023 election

So?

This is a state with about 2.2 million PVCs collected. Yet just about 30% came out to vote.

Lol. This result is even more shocking than that of Imo.

SDP predictably put on a strong show, leveraging on their numerical strength in Kogi East

However the biggest shocker is obviously Dino. Yes there might be rigging and all, but the gap is quite embarrassing to say the least. Even his native Okun people largely rejected him

Tbh I wandered about it myself. That he couldn't even win his own LGA is pretty telling.

*scratches head*

I don't understand. Is Yahaya contesting for a third term?

Me thought the APCs candidate was Usman Ododo, so pray why the F is Yahaya being congratulated??

yarimo:
What happens to the constitutional sections that say candidate with majority of valid votes cast shall be declared winner? You guys will just type rubbish in the name of I have created a thread also

Bobloco:
He will be declared winner irrespective of what he garnered from those Lga's as long as he scored the highest number of votes.

The supreme court rendered those sections of the constitution irrelevant in their last ruling just because an individual.

Una go just dey open mouth waaa.

Quite embarrassing, to say the least.

Okwyjesus:
I don't like Bello and Ododo but Dino don't have anything to offer

All three have nothing to offer. It's simply religious and ethnic politics at play

Naija I hail 🥺🥺

Pepperdemisback:
They are all on NL and Twitter chest beating. How many of them travelled down to vote? Where did Charlie boy vote? They showed themselves coming from abroad to vote in Lagos, how many of them came?
Even the ones at home were afraid to go out, 153 people voted at a polling unit. Na Lagos dem dey go fight for polling units.

That's the challenge.
I mean just take a look at the gap between the registered and those eventually accredited.

See Owerri west for instance: of abt 140k registered, barely 16k were accredited. No, this is bad.

You may or may not like PO, but really cannot fault his claims.

The level of blatant profligacy by the Tinubu admin is sickening to say the least. This is the height of the proverbial middle finger to the Nigerian people.

In such astonishing display of hypocrisy, he's pleading with Nigerians bear in these very trying times while he and his team continue to luxuriate with such brazen, to-hell-with-them abandon. Haba 🥺

But the real sad fact is when it is time for elections, you see them all tropping back to base.

Honestly some of these govs are so shameless

justified007:
Akeredolu should be the number 1 on this list. He's never been to his state in months

Like seriously. Particularly disappointing given his status as a renowned lawyer. He should know better than this

Akeredolu is number 1

The profit we are talking about here in in Naira and because Naira lost 100% of it's value during the perod, they havent really grown by so much in Dollar terms.


To see a good picture, you have compare their performance last year with that of this year in DOllar terms

But transactions were done in naira, so it really doesn't change the fact they made gains.

Ukum Local government has never experienced peace since the regime of former governor Gabriel Suswam. He empowered those guys with arms and encouraged millitia in that area. As a typical unlearned and a majority of uneducated people who were exposed to gaining power through violence, they embraced gun violence as a way of Life.

This act gave rise to people like the late Gana and a host of other people. Rivalry between groups then took a course in that area and to calm down the violence has been a major problem. Efforts were made by past government to cleanse those people of guns but it is too late. If a 10 year-old child warns you and tells you to very careful, please do because the next may be your death. They don't do childish Aye or eiya or whatever cult rivalry, what they know is how can you shot a gun. The same Ukum people recently kidnapped a serving commissioner and killed a former chairman that they kidnapped alongside the Commissioner.

The worst part of it is that, as soon as the government comes after them, they 'run into the bush'.

Ukum is where we have the largest Yam market in Africa. They produce the largest quantity of yams in the whole of Nigeria. They are so rich because of the yam business but majority of them are uneducated (they didn't go to school because they farm yams, sell and make money) and got exposed to modernity during the government of former governor Gabriel Suswam. Because of the so much money they have, buying guns is not a problem to them.

Amnesty has never worked because someone who has 5 guns may surrender 3 and keep 2. Or surrender 4 and keep 1. And because of what they did to Gana who was killed after surrendering himself, they no longer trust the government. The best that has worked so far is the government killing gang leaders. And it will surprise you to know that a member of a gang will derive joy in being the leader of gang to be killed and then they boast of 'even the government is looking for me'.

Only God can help with the situations in Ukum, Katsina-ala and Logo governments. But the worst is Ukum Local Government.

It didn't really start with Susan. Right from Akume, state govs have used the young men to do thier dirty work.

Chai. This man should have been Nigeria's president

Na wa o. 27k for afang??

Gbemisola Saraki is more beautiful
