Diss.troy made some solid arguments but he used ugwu and efo riro spoil am. He could have stopped at there's trade, diplomatic and political ties that binds Russia and the Zionist state. And even historically Ashkenazis are by majority Khazarian converts to Judaism many centuries ago when the Khazarian state fell apart they dispersed all over Europe
He didn't spoil anything jare, it's just normal banter that's making his opps latch on the vegetable line.grin

We are all educated here and we all know vegetable is not just ugwu or efo tete. The vegetables could be cucumber, zucchini, etc which they export to other countries na

Constitutional disempowerment of state electoral commissions

While the Constitution places a premium on democratically elected local government under Section 7 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended, it fails to provide safeguards for institutional autonomy for the institution tasked with giving life to its aspiration of democratically elected local government councils. The following constitutional pitfalls significantly undermine the ability of SIECs to conduct credible local government elections:

1.Operational control of SIECs by governors: Section 204(1) subjects the power of SIECs to regulate its procedure and confer powers and duties on any officer or authority to the approval of the Governor. By this provision, the Constitution fails to insulate the SIECs from executive control. This constitutional mishap emboldens state executives to manipulate SIECs and influence electoral outcomes. Electoral commissions are required to be independent so they can enforce guidelines and rules of procedure without bias. Unfortunately, state electoral commissions can’t operate independently because the Constitution does not guarantee administrative independence. In contrast, Section 160(1)of the Constitution protects the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by stating that INEC’s powers to make its own rules and guidelines shall not be subject to the approval or control of the President.

2.Lack of financial autonomy: Electoral commissions thrive where access to election funding is guaranteed. Financial autonomy facilitates planning and insulates the commission from undue interference from external actors. SIECs are financially dependent on state governors, as Section 121(3) excludes them from institutions funded directly by the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the state. The lack of financial autonomy makes SIECs susceptible to control and manipulation. SIECs face significant uncertainties regarding their funding as they rely heavily on the discretion or benevolence of the Governor to release funds for election management even in cases where the state legislature has appropriated the commission’s budget. Typically, SIECs receive funding only to conduct local government elections, and in the period between elections, they lack resources for necessary pre- and post-election activities. In instances where funds are allocated, they are often released merely 90 days before the elections, making it challenging to deliver credible elections. In contrast, INEC’s financial autonomy is secured through Section 81(3), which places it on the first-line charge of the Federation’s Consolidated Revenue Fund. The 2022 Electoral Act mandates the release of election funding one year before elections.

3. No constitutional timeframe for local government elections: The Constitution is silent on the tenure of local government councils and the timeframe for conducting elections. This loophole is exploited to dictate the tenure of local government chairmen and councillors, including justifying the arbitrary dissolution of local government councils. SIECs often release election timetables based on the Governor’s body language. A defined constitutional timeframe for local government elections is necessary to ensure consistency and fairness.


4.Insufficient qualification criteria for SIEC members: The only constitutional requirement for appointment into SIEC is non-membership of a political party. While this is a necessary condition, it is grossly inadequate. Other conditions essential for election administration, such as unquestionable integrity and competence, are excluded in Section 200 of the Constitution. INEC appointments require non-partisanship and unquestionable integrity, a standard that should also apply to SIECs.
@Theflint1 I think this piece written by Samson Itodo just shows a state governor has almost 99% grip on a state electoral commission as far as LGA election is concerned

Theflint1:
Depends on who'd be in charge of the elections, whether it's INEC or RSIEC, and who's in charge of RSIEC when the elections get conducted.

From what it's looking like, best courts can do is call for fresh elections.
It is the State Electoral Commission that always conducts the LGA elections.

nihilistjnr:
This thing is too simple.

If Russia uses even one Nuke, then NATO will not wait for Putin to decide of he wants to do them next or not. They will immediately send nukes to Russia, probably within minutes of confirming Russia's launches.

Putin will knkw that NATO will be making preemptive strikes on him, so he would want to make preemptive strikes on them. This means that Russia cannot just decide to send Nukes to Tel Aviv or Kyiv alone - it's just not an option. The package on its way to Israel must hold something for US, UK, France, Germany etc.


Meanwhile all those guys will have last man standing instructions to Nuke all the other places too.

The simple analysis is that the first person to use Nukes can only do so if they are sure there can be absolutely no possibility of retaliation, or that they are ready to for everything to turn to ash

That's the meaning of mutual assured destruction.
I marvel at how he likes to make simple stuff sound very complicated with several paragraphs. Something that is very simple and straight forward.

So Russia will nuke Israel and USA, France and the UK will fold their hands hoping and praying Russia is only interested in nuking Israel while they will be spared?

That was why I said his bias is making him analyze what sooths him. cheesy

The judge tried to be clever. He didn't outrightly say they shouldn't conduct the election. He said RSIEC did not comply with certain provisions of the law in setting the date for the election and because of that, INEC shouldn't release voters register to them till they do the needful.

More like, I'm not stopping the election. However, you must do A and B before you proceed with the election.

Fubara however has decided to proceed with the election in spite of the judgment
Las Las na court go decide the eventual LGA administrators in the state.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 6:15pm On Oct 03, 2024
Itsrm:
The election will hold as planned and the already written results will be published. Wike and his men will try to invalidate the outcome of the election in court based on Fubaras refusal to obey court judgment asking Risec not to proceed with the election. They will attempt to prevent allocation to those selected local government chairmen using the court.

The protest is what I really don't understand. The whole idea is stupid.
Maybe the protest is just for optics.

But can the courts stop an already scheduled election from holding when there's no major breakdown of law & order or something serious happening?

LordAdam16:
Futurism is a fascinating subject.

You're correct that the world "as we know it today" will end. Not the world itself, but our current civilization.
But again, spend enough time following the works of experts in the field and you'll realize there's a significant divergence between the pop-culture alarmism and the for-now hypothetical possibilities.

For instance, the global telecommunications backbone is nuclear-proof. It crisscrosses the oceans.
Less than 60% of the world lives in cities which will bear the full brunt of the attacks.
It is unclear how long the nuclear fallout and winter will last. Alarmist modeling did not hold well to the Kuwait fires.

So it pays to regionalize the effects. Were Israel to be the subject of a nuclear confrontation, it will cease to exist, not just in the form it is today, but as an habitable parch. Why? Because it is small.

New agglomerations will form in current rural areas that will expand to become the cities of the future.
The clock will roll back 200 years in terms of population density. But technologically, we might only go back two decades from Day Zero.
Europe will be the worst hit. But every other continent and Africa especially will have a new map of population concentrations.

You can look this up independently.

The hyper-wealthy all have bunkers in New Zealand and sparse locales for a reason.
When the exchange starts, they'll head to their bunkers.
When it stops, they'll emerge and hold the keys to technologies (they'd preserved in archives in their bunkers) that'll put them at the top of the pyramid in the new global order again.

And if we somehow return to the Moon or establish a Gateway space station sometime in the next decade, the dangers of a nuclear exchange to our species will decline by at least a magnitude.

-Lord
The problem with ur analysis here is that you tend to assume that whatever country nukes Israel out of existence would survive . And I think it is your bias against Israel that makes you think such country would also not be in ruins because it is a bigger country. Israel has allies, powerful ones who would nuke such country out of existence as well.

The bottom line is there is no winner in an all-out nuclear war. All those talk about hyper wealthy heading to their bunkers and escaping the fall out of a nuclear war would not even happen.

There is a reason why any form of nuclear weapon has not been deployed by any country since 1945. Everyone who is in possession of nuclear knows what comes after its use now that more countries possess the technology.

LordAdam16:
The world will not end.

Read this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_holocaust#Likelihood_of_complete_human_extinction

Russia's sabre-rattling is to scare NATO from intervening directly.
Using nukes in Ukraine is last resort.
As fallout will affect the Russian homeland and the current areas of engagement have large population of ethnic Russians.

I say the State of Palestine is inevitable because Israel is checkmated.

Its Samson Option as articulated by some of its proponents (Israel does not officially state its parameters) clearly elucidates that at the risk of suffering a resounding defeat, Israel will send nukes at population centers around the world. David Perlmutter and Martin van Creveld specifically mentioned targeting European cities. I can imagine updated guidelines will include population centers in China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Australia, even Nigeria, et cetera.

You all cheering for them have a target on your backs.

They do not have the arsenal to take on so many objectives and still be able to turn all of Russia into radioactive ash.
Which means there'll be survivors. Across the entire globe. The world will not end, but Israel will. Furthermore, the level of hate that'll be directed against the Jewry will be biblical, cosmic, and consummate.

This is why the Israeli Right's insistence that they will never allow a State of Palestine is delulu.
It's only a matter of time. And so the civilian deaths are needless.

-Lord
What he is saying is if Russia uses one nuke, then it will lead to NATO members using theirs which will surely lead to all out nuclear war.

It simply means the world as we know it today will end. Yes, there would definitely be survivors but a lot of (if not all) countries will cease to exist in the form they are today. It is not just Israel or Ukraine that will cease to exist.

Forget that thing. You encounter women everyday. A woman really has to think really low of you to assault you as a total stranger, and it's based off what she's seeing - your look and your composure.

30 minutes aboard a public bus was enough for her to sum-total she could slap his head (especially how defensive Africans are about strangers touching our heads) and get away with it.

She saw a bîtch-boy and smacked the empty head accordingly.
Anybody seeing him making mouth online everyday would think he would at least raise an objection to being assaulted by a complete stranger (at least in the most respectful way; since now he's talking about having home training).

Guess what he did?
