Corruption in APC is fighting back

Nigeria is Africa's largest economy but we Nigerians can't see how this affects us positively

And there u have it:

“Though it dismissed the application, the apex court refused to award cost against the Applicants.

However, a member of the apex court panel, Justice Centus Chima Nweze, disagreed with the lead verdict and gave a dissenting opinion that allowed Ihedioha’s application.

Nweze said he was satisfied that the judgement that declared Uzodinma winner was entered in error.

He held that the apex court has a duty to in the interest of justice, set-aside its decision that was given in error.“

You're incorrigible. Not because you're not smart, but because you're partisan.

If the reverse had been the case, would you be siting the position of one judge amongst others?

The SC can't approbation and reprobate .

CanadaOrBust:
Imo is not comparable to Bayelsa and Zamfara. Disqualifications are common in politics, per those states.
But in Imo the SC in broad daylight, unabashedly and
blatantly rewarded clear cheating and forgery that even kids can tell is cheating and forgery. What does that say about us as a people? It diminishes each and everyone of us. How can u teach children about not cheating when they can see for themselves that the final court in the land rewards cheating and forgery??

Also, at the very least, it greatly reduces your ability to have a say in who governs u because it allows for any ruling party to “win” any election it wishes, (all they have to do is obtain INEC documents and write any result they wish - which the SC must accept by precedence of this case) which will inevitably lead to a one-party country.

There you have it

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander?
People can't reject you at the poll then you run to court to have the winner disqualified so victory can be given to u.

Pdp did not met the spread in both Zamfara and Imo. But the SC gave them sa leeway.
If the SC dares to review their Imo verdict (which is highly unlikely) it'll be a precedent for countless frivolous review appeals. I'm sure they don't want that

Gforce2015:
So, my comments about supporting the ban on Okada has suddenly become a childish talk.
Come to think of it, every wrong notion always has some reasons behind it despite its adverse effects on the populace. for example, street trading also have a reason and justification irrespective of how it been carried out

So, in your opinion, the ban on Okada wasn't proper, despite all the obvious reasons given by the lagos state government. In fact, your brain needs an overhaul.


See bolded from ur comment.
I hardly rely ppl whose quotes are laced with insults.
All u need do is to tell me ur reasons. It's only those without points that usually resort to abuses

Lemme ignore ur childish rant and ask.

Mention 2 reasons they gave,
And I'll give you 4 good reasons why okada should stay for now for every 2 you mentioned.

That's why the State Assembly couldn't speak against the ban on Keke and Okada.
Those ppl have been bribed and we the people did nothing.
They took away commonman's source of livelihood and means of transportation and gave us no option but to go and die And we acted as if nothing was taken from us.

A mega city with no
Constant power
Metro line
Good roads
Citizens provide their security
No public water system
No good schools

All newspapers in the country are also watching and many have noted what a travesty Imo is. I don’t see how the SC can let the judgment stand and still look Nigerians in the eye:

The following is from the actual summary of trial materials as presented in a major reputable newspaper.
Pay special attention to the bolded.
———————————————-

That Supreme Court Magic Judgment
This Day (Lagos) 17 FEBRUARY 2020

... According to summary of trial materials, no ward collation agent was called to show that at the collation center results were brought from the 388 polling units where the alleged exclusion took place...

The petitioner, rather called 28 polling unit agents who came to identify some of the results tendered by the petitioner from the bar. All the electoral documents were tendered from the bar and thus dumped on the court without anybody giving evidence correlating the contents of the result forms with the tabulation done by the petitioner himself.

Each of the 18 polling unit agents under cross-examination, manifested ignorance of the contents of the documents and never convinced anybody of being present in their claimed polling units...

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that NO RESULTS WERE GENERATED from those polling units as elections in those polling units were cancelled by presiding officers as a result of violence, over voting, snatching of electoral materials, etc. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stated that any result from those polling units presented by any of the candidates, in this case, the petitioners, must be fake.

When confronted with the purported result sheets tendered by the petitioners, each of the witnesses admitted as follows:
i. The names and signatures of the Presiding Officers are not well found on those results.
ii. The names and signatures of other party agents did not appear on the result sheets, neither could they mention even one party agent of the other political parties in those booths.
iii. The result sheets do not contain the total number of ballot papers used and number of ballot papers unused or invalid. The scores of political parties are not clear on the face of the documents.

Based on the above, it appears the Supreme Court was desperately working to an answer in favour of the ruling party... and the only opening to do that was to accept the fictitious results of the 388 polling units willy-nilly. And instead of doing substantial justice on the matter, it ended up delivering one of judiciary's greatest infamies which even a kid learning arithmetic can see through. The judgment turned logic on its head, rewrote the basic universal laws of arithmetic and did grave and substantial injury to our democracy and the power of the people to choose who governs them. With this judicial precedent, the Supreme Court has inevitably rubber-stamped political rascality and the judgment could shape our democratic future.

The court has widened the opening which politicians exploit and manipulate to get into elective offices. All one needs to do is to stay somewhere, maybe in one's room, probably with one policeman or so, write one's own results, submit to INEC for counting and if it refuses, don't worry, bid your time till you get to the court. With supreme arrogance, the final court of appeal will recognise the results as legitimate, credible and authentic and pronto, you will be declared duly elected.

...Even more perplexing was the fact that in some of the polling units, voter turnout was more than the registered voters. How is this possible?
In Uzodinma's result sheets, there was no voided vote and only two parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC participated and were reflected in the election results of the 388 polling units. Yet, 70 political parties participated in that election and were all reflected in the INEC declared results of other polling units all over the state. ..,Does it mean that other parties such as All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Alliance (AA), etc., did not participate in the election in those 388 polling units contrary to INEC's results in other areas of the state?
Why did the result sheets reflect only two parties when so many parties participated in the said election? Apparently, Senator Uzodinma concocted those results that fly in the face of the basic laws of arithmetic and common sense between the PDP and the APC after the fact that the PDP had won the election and he only scored his party a vote figure higher than the PDP vote. The corollary to that is that if it was any other party that was on the cusp of victory, Uzodinma's results would have been between just the APC and that party! Yet our almighty Supreme Court glossed over all these fundamental anomalies in Uzodinma's result sheets which had been rejected by even INEC... and accepted same as authentic.
A further assessment of the result sheets of the disputed 388 polling units showed that the said units are all in the Orlu Senatorial Zone where Uzodinma and the candidate of the Action Alliance Ugwumba Uche Nwosu come from. So even if the 388 polling units were concentrated mostly in Uzodinma's ancestral home, surely, Nwosu who emerged second in the March 9, 2019 election in Imo State and was backed by the incumbent governor at the time, Rochas Okorocha, his father in-law, must have amassed some votes from the units. But these votes were curiously missing, for the simple reason that they forged the results, and very badly at that.
Furthermore, Uzodinma of the APC scored an average of 98% of the total votes cast in the 388 units, whereas he scored an average of 13% in the remaining polling units in the state. How could this be? Why was it that it was only in these 388 units throughout the state that the voter turnout was either more than the registered voters or achieved 98 to 100 percent of the registered voters? Please note that emphasis is NOT on the number of accredited voters which is usually far less than the number of registered voters. Uzodinma's fake results validated by our Supreme Court defy reason. The pattern of the results from the disputed 388 polling units clearly shows the improbability of such an occurrence. And on the basis of the testimony of one policeman, and 28 discredited polling units' agents who gave contradictory statements at trial, the Supreme Court accepted the results.

In declaring Uzodinma governor of Imo State, the Supreme Court simply annulled a valid mandate freely given to an individual and transferred it to another person who came fourth in the election.

You ppl are ridiculous

Did Pdp win the election in Bayelsa?
Yet the SC jettison the people's mandate regardless and gave victory to the loser.
What happened to, " The candidate is only a representative of the party?"
Ameachi never contested but was given victory because his party won and he was the legitimate candidate of the party.
SC will not reverse it's verdict.
Since you people accept the Bayelsa and Zamfara verdict where Pdp clearly lost the people's mandate but was given victory, you ought to accept this too

Liverpool have lost to Atletico Madrid, struggled to beat West Ham and has just been spanked senseless by Watford since that Irish Manchester United supporting 10 year old boy wrote a letter to Klopp asking him to stop winning games. �

MRcocaFanta:
Even as we speak, we have not even started preparing for it

We don't even have standard quarantine facilities.

According to BBC world news this morning, what we have now as a facility can only contain 100 people.

You can imagine a country of almost 200 million people.

Isn't that a shame.

It's adequate. That center is only for Lagos.
The virus is not from Nigeria or even Africa. We only have one carrier presently.

cjudy:


Are you sure you have gotten all of them because from analysis, the Uber driver would have get in contact with over 30 passengers already and even the 30 passengers might have got in contact with atleast 5 contact each excluding family members.

The mistakes happened at that airport.
I blame the useless government for this.

Stop creating unnecessary apprehension just to get likes .
First the symptoms of infection takes two day. You can only be infected by a carrier. The Italian is the only carrier on record now.
So all they need now is to isolate all those the Italian had physical or close contact with

GidiWoodsMan:
discos rushed to buy because they thought it was free money like the old nepa

Is it not?

They now charged far more than what Nepa was charging
More people are now paying electricity bills unlike Nepa era
And we are being given less power.

So these people are definitely making more

You've made the right choice .

Now, go to Jumia and search redmi note 7 and 8
One of them should be with that range

But how can someone be a senator and still contest for Deputy governor?

Only one day left he would have been sworn in

READ MY LINE AGAIN

It's up to Wilder to have the 3rd match whether Fury wants it or not.
Wilder's trainer said they'll activate the clause after the match.
It's only logical that Fury will get the bigger pay. Even Fury said he knows Wilder will activate the 3rd match clause. And he'll be waiting

Imagine Deontay Wilder closing out Black History Month by getting his ass whooped by a white man.

The ancestors are disgusted.

Don't bring twitter racial comments here

Most blacks supported Fury.
Even Mike Tyson

Kingkezie:
WHICH KIND REMATCH AGAIN
THIS WAS A REMATCH OF THEIR FIRST DRAW MEETING.
IT WAS OBVIOUSLY STATED THAT THE WINNER OF AJ vs RUIZ WOULD FACE THE WINNER OF WILDER vs FURY.


QUOTE ME ANYWHERE, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER REMATCH OF WILDER VS FURY AGAIN. FURY HAS UNIFIED THAT TITLE, THE NEXT MATCH WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO IS AJ vs FURY
FURY WILL ONLY GO BACK TO FIGHT WILDER IF A LOT OF MONEY IS INVOLVED.

There is a clause of a 3rd match

Wilder came with his right hand, Fury came with a plan snf and the rest was history

Expert17:
Fury go kill joshua

Not b4 he did u.

New meme is in town

I knew it.

Our politicians should stop this trend of losing and election and running to court to win the election.
Power belong to the people. And when the people have given their mandate, on who's mandate do you want to rule even if you get a verdict too.
It's a recipe for disaster
This practice is inimical to democracy. And the Supreme Court and Political Parties are to blame

I'm sorry if your IQ is too low to comprehend my comment. Lemme help you with a clearer analogy.

Has Sniper done more harm than kitchen knife?
Does that mean govt should control it?
Anything is a weapon in the mind of a desperately determined fellow.
It's all in the mind

The school authority lacked emotional intelligence.
In such situation, the parents of the boy should first be contacted. Then, they should find out if the boy had history of misdemeanor

I think its high time these organophosphates e.g sniper are controlled. People should not be able to buy it at will.

There are a thousand ways to commit suicide

Tonyspecial:
Sniper has done more harm than good

Sniper did not kill him.
He killed himself with Sniper
Get ur facts right

Lucky dude.

Everything just worked for him.
