Anything to defend APC govt. You shouldn't be surprised.

I don talk am before and I will say it again ; Politicians/elected officials/ leaders will continue to misbehave/misgovern us so far there continues to be a large number of intelligent people available to rationalize their irrational actions and inactions. 🤦‍♂️

For the sane minds and those who still have a shred of conscience , this is the video from the scene of assault against the Uber driver by Policemen and LNSC officers


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEvUW-zqwt8

Lagos state government appealed the 5m compensation awarded against them and the police because they claimed “ there’s no evidence of torture “

Some people ehn , if heaven and hell dey true true , dem go give some people o Geepeee tank of petrol and their own matches to go start their own hell fire at a new location on judgement day

User09:
Is Sanwoolu a party to the suit?

Is Lagos State Government the Nigeria Police Force?

There are actual legit grounds for an appeal which is a legal right by the way.

You do not have to play to the gallery all the time. The NPF should be making the payments not SanwoOlu

Who be this one again ?

Una go just dey form nonsense pseudo intellectual upandan nairaland and somehow ur ilks think u are making sense .

If u had taken time to follow the story from inception u would’ve known the guy sued Lagos state government headed by Sanwoolu, LNSC, Attorney general of Lagos state and Nigerian Police . The 5m compensation was awarded against these parties .

Just last week Sanwoolu was on Nigeria Info 99.3fm and he paid lip service to the fact that his government has compensated everyone that was negatively affected by ENDSARS protests and resultant violence meted out to people by state and non state actors . No be everything be agenda , the lawyer is calling out Sanwoolu’s hypocrisy for refusing to settle and that’s that . U can choose to be blind to the hypocrisy on Sanwoolu’s part, but u can’t drag everybody to follow u get partial blindness abeg!

Sooner or later , people will ditch the courts and go back to the ancient methods of sorting issues through fisticuffs .

Imagine Lagos state appealing this court judgement despite all of us watching the video and seeing how the guy was dehumanized on live video . Lagos state is claiming there’s no evidence the guy was tortured

Anyways sha , if na me be the Uber driver ; irrespective of what the court judgement is, that LNSC guy wey rough handle me that day must collect .( It May take weeks, months or even years but I will definitely trace him and he will get what’s coming for him )

Apart from the fact that he's an Online Landlord.

I have an issue with him bringing children to the world while he's still suffering.

His wife just gave birth.... Omooooo

That one na typical elegbon adugbo behavior .Dem go say the pikin go bring wetin he go chop from heaven

Nezzjnr:
People wey be Landlords no dey loud am.

I felt pity for him though

I don’t pity people like that ; they feel they are doing a good job talking down on other people online . Sometimes u need to wonder if God is delaying their blessings cos of the kinda e veil thoughts in their minds.

Imagine a man without owing 1 centimeter of land thinking like him; only God knows whether he won’t do more than rent increment sef if indeed he owns lands and houses . Like increase house rent because because u and ur tenant don’t agree on the same political ideology ?

Nezzjnr:
Nekwe Landlord

The guy is very funny sha

See how he stylishly used the words “ we can never sell our house ….. we are increasing our house rent for all Igbo living in our house “…..🤣🤣🤣

He obviously doesn’t have money to buy one bag of cement or one paint bucket of sand, yet he dey use plural possessive pronoun “our” , to count himself amongst those that matter in the scheme of things .

What shall it profit a man to use pronoun possess wetin he no get offline, only to resume begging online ?

The lawyers claim that the 3rd judge not writing an opinion but signing the previous opinion was thrown out though

The author of the Twitter thread u posted obviously chose to major in the minor and gave a report that appears the PDP counsel was just wasting his time and that of his principal .

I just felt it was necessary to call ur attention to the fact that the few excerpt of court sessions that make it down to the internet may not always tell the full story of where the judgement is swinging .

raumdeuter:
News filtering from politics section claims Oyetola won case 1

On issue of Bvas court ruled in favor of Adeleke

Now to Supreme court

The court ruled that Oyetola was unable to prove the allegation of over-voting against Adeleke .

I remember ur post here few days ago when u were analyzing the argument of Ikpeazu(Adeleke’s lawyer) and Fagbemi(Oyetola’s lawyer ). By this judgement It’s clear the subtracting of Adeleke votes Ikpeazu challenged worked out well in his principal’s Favour . At least we’ve seen that Ikpeazu didn’t go to the court to play to the gallery; he sure knows his onions.

raumdeuter:
The report I am seeing from Osun Adeleke tribunal

Fagbemi vs Ikpeazu shows that the lawyers Adeleke are using probably are just playing to the gallery and they know they have no case

They are claiming the 3rd judge signed but didnt write an opinion.

Looks like Adelekes lawyers just came to court to troll

afrodoc2:
it should be renamed The Long List. Like you said it was initially good in the first few seasons but after a while the list kept getting longer and longer, and the twists became too tortuous. James Spader is a very good actor though.

You hit the mail on the head ! James Spader got the show going ; I think it’s his fanstastic acting skills that made most of the people still watching it to continue up till this point .

Ibime:
How the blacklist be?

Blacklist make sense at first, but I later got disinterested when it got too long and dem refuse to finish am.

It’s an FBI-themed series about a criminal that is on their most wanted list who walked into one of their offices and offered himself up for arrest . He was using the FBI and was helping them as well to solve high profile crimes .

plat0:
Vikings
Godfather of Harlem
Blacklist
Silicone valley

It's only Silicone valley that is on the list I'm yet to watch.

Donjazet2:
The person mocking nigerians for their loss is far away from the consequences of his shenanigans.

He did the same thing in 2015 and 2019 when a lot of people too warned of an impending disaster with buhari, he danced on the alter of their sorrows. Turns out their aspersions and apprehensions were well founded, the country got worse but of course the person who mocked them relentlessly for feeling a sense of doom was no where near the site of disaster.

Today, history repeats itself. In the face of unfair electoral practices, broad daylight suppression of the people's will and widespread violence. An unfair electoral process marred by chaos and an impending feeling of doom for the direction of this country, he laughs and mocks again.

When or if shit hits the fan, he would be exempt from the consequences and move on to supporting another disaster as far as his primordial sentiments are satisfied. As far "our son" wins. A tale of wickedness. A tale of condescension. A tale of arbitrary stupidity.

But u were also a BUHARIST in 2015 and 2019 na Don J 🤷🏼‍♂️

Shebi na ELECTION Chimaroke lose , why is he behaving like say na ERECTIO.N he lose ? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Did Okowa's daughter win her State House of Assembly election?

Can we be tagging the supermods to any post that appears to be tribalistic going forward? At least to restore some sanity to the thread

Since we know the report button doesn't really hide such posts

chrisooblog:
As it stands LP only looks sure of winning one state in the governorship can we say we overestimated the Obi wave?

cc izzou, blueraydick, flint, larride, istrm

Look at it this way; Labour Party was formed in 2002 and has participated in 6 general elections till date(2023 inclusive). By far this is the most successful election Labour party has ever participated in. They won 40 seats in the national assembly as at the last time I checked (6 senators and 34 reps), Their members won state house of assembly seats in different states in such a way they've not done in the past and it's looking likely they might win one governorship seat not forgetting they won 12 states(Including FCT ) at the presidential election.

All of these have never happened since the inception of the party until the Obi wave happened.

To answer ur question, I do not think the Obi wave is over estimated in any way

Olowunl01:
Respect Sir.

The system wins again, now the governing elite have succeeded in dividing the youths whose unison had them running scared with tribalism, now who holds them to account? Bro start working on your JAPA moves jare...

Baba, Dem no dey tell person.

Amoto94:
Don J set the precedence on this thread by being aggressive on those who chose to support other candidates then other Obidients egged him on by saying you can't be normal by supporting APC thus setting the stage for attacks and counterattacks. Now, people are trying to douse the tension something that should have been prevented long time ago

This is not true ! If people didn’t call Don J out, why do u think he keeps on directing “I told u so “ posts to izzou , Emaprince , disstroy and myself for putting down some of the tribal
Themed posts he makes here ?


As much as I don’t fancy Tinubu’s candidacy and what his political orientation represents , I’ve had course to put down posts from Don J tagging Tinubu a tribalist where there’s scarcely any evidence that proves that . I remember izzou also tackling on the alleged post 2019 election targeting of Igbo’s from an informed point .

Those displaying tribalist tendencies today have it ingrained in their DNA before now. They just couldn’t help themselves when Don J lighted the match . Make una no dey make excuse for bad behavior .

The election has come and gone Haba! Make una leave tribal bigots offline and let’s discuss something else na. Politicians wey use tribe and ethnicity divide voting population of their opponents (on both sides ) have moved on from the election.

We should do better .

[color=royalblue]It was really pathetic to see educated people peddle and make decisions based on roadside rumours

I grew up in Amuwo Odofin, largely dominated by other southerners. GloriousGbola even said in his full close, he is the only non- igbo.

Yet, i have never seen an Igbo man battling for Baale or Council of chiefs. Even in Igbo dominated areas like Ojo, Ikotun, na Yorubas dey control both the traditional rulership and political.

But a Twitter link was the sinister plan to hijack Lagos

I shame for wetin my eye see today[/color]

U know why I find the whole argument unnecessary and not worth it ?

Las las if GRV wins, Mr Kayode Salako (the husband ) will definitely have goodies coming his way courtesy of the new governor in Lagos. On the other hand if Sanwoolu is voted for second term , Mrs Foluke Daramola-Salako will have good things coming her way courtesy of the governor . Whether supporters of both candidates fight online or offline; their one family is secured .

Like now wey Sanwoolu win, when Foluke is going to solicit the state governor for donations for any of their phony NGO’s me and u no go dey there . When they make profit out of the non-profit organization, na she and her husband former Labour Party chairman go spend an together . Dem no go call us make we come chop inside .

All those stories of somebody taking over somewhere is bullocks . Politicians just dey finger people brain based on their personal bias and dem dey get desired response .

You remember Ade Dosumnu who contested against Fashola that year ? I remember watching ACN campaign in Lagos that time and he was called a thief live on camera that he stole when he was in NPA and all that by Tinhubu and the man didn’t come out to deny it ( and it sealed his fate particularly amongst people who were looking at voting someone with integrity ) I recently read the man had decamped to APC and he said it feels good to be back home( or something like that ) . I just smiled 😁

For clarity sake ; Kayode Salako was the chairman of Labour Party in Lagos before he resigned while his Wife nollywood actress Foluke Daramola-Salako is a card carrying member of APC in Lagos state .

The husband was the flagbearer of LP in his constituency; Oshodi Isolo and also the Labour Party chairman in Lagos state . He resigned his position and when asked by pressmen what informed his decisions he informed them it was the need for him to concentrate on his election which necessitated his resignation .

Now the wife being a card carrying member of APC comes out and makes an allegation that Gbadebo having won the Labour Party governorship primaries “removed” her husband from being the chairman and didn’t stop there but “took all Yoruba house of reps tickets in Lagos state and replaced them with Igbos “

Now the question that begs an answer is who is lying between the husband and the wife ? I really do not know if u ask me, but we need to be mindful of the following points :

1. It makes sense for a man who is the party chairman and also a candidate in the election to face either the chairmanship or the election he’s contesting in.

2. There is no evidence to suppost the wife’s claim that all Labour house of reps candidates who are igbos were replaced with Yorubas. Someone share a list of the candidates here and most of the names on it are Yorubas . Even Sunny Ade’s son (whose father is Yoruba from Ondo ) won the house of reps election in his constituency that is even dominated by Igbos .

3. The new chairman of Labour Party in Lagos Pastor Mrs Dayo Ekong is Yoruba herself replacing a Yoruba man in a Yoruba state .

4. Kayode Salako after he resigned his post as Lagos state chairman was elevated to the position of Special Adviser on Lagos Affairs and Liaison operations to the National Chairman of the party. He promised to continue to work for the good of the party .

Make of the above whatever u can .

Much ado about nothing !

GloriousGbola:
i will just post this here

Is there any credible news agency that reported what this person is saying or it’s just the person’s perception of what he/she believed happened in Kenya ?

MY OBSERVATIONS FROM THE JUST CONCLUDED 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS ( NB: These are my personal opinions ; I am responsible for what observed and not how u decide to comprehend it )

1. INEC is not one organization that is headed by an impartial academic as most people had hoped . Going by what we read online about people’s opinion on INEC and interactions offline, most people want to see INEC as that electoral umpire that prosecute elections without fear or Favour to any party, group or stakeholders ; unfortunately that has not been the case.

While the presidential election had people screaming the name of INEC’s chairman for declaring results that were not confirmed to be fairly accurate , the state government elections have been worse . We’ve seen even worse from state REC’s and how they just act like their job is to announce a winner irrespective of what is uploaded and submitted as results provided the number of real voters don’t exceed registered voters in the BVAS. We’ve seen instances like this in Rivers and I also watched video of GRV showing AriseTV correspondents how obviously tampered results were uploaded on IREV portal and same result was announced by the collation officers . He further showed a video of a Lagos house of assembly result uploaded as governorship result and same was announced as authentic result .
It appears different people at INEC are working at cross purposes from the chairman down to the Ad-Hoc staff on the field . Everybody get him one agenda .

2. The electoral act 2022 didn’t do much as regards vote buying ; what it did was only
change the final beneficiaries of vote-buying from the common man on the street to INEC Ad-Hoc staff, REC’s and CO’s. Bar Bauchi , we didn’t really see incidents of vote buying by politicians directly from voters . Instead, we saw pictures of remit sheets being mutilated by presiding officers , enough us of correction fluids on already declared/signed results and Returning officers declaring results that contradicts what’s on IREV portal.

3. The IREV portal introduction appeared to be for decorative purposes . There’s no form of control whatsoever on the part of INEC to vet what’s being uploaded there and how it goes further to impact whatever result was eventually announced . We’ve seen pictures of people in bathroom being uploaded there , letter of complaints being uploaded there and worse . There were reports of results being uploaded on the portal even before voting was half way in some areas. A form of control would’ve made such incidences almost impossible .

4. The electoral act as good as it looked on paper gave enough room for our politicians to come up with evil mechanizations worse than the electoral offences stated in the electoral act. I went through the electoral act briefly and discovered voters suppression and intimidations were not really given much thought by those who drafted the act. I guess the politicians studied it too and were glad to have found out how easy the act makes things for them. Going forward , all politicians need to do is just employ non-state actors to intimidate those they perceive as will be voting their opponents , cut down their votes as much as they can in the opposition’s territory/home stone and they will be coasting home to victory no matter how tiny the margin is. We saw it happen majorly in Lagos and Rivers; trust me other states will learn from these incidents and things may not necessarily get better .

5. People seem to conflate Peaceful elections and Credible elections to be one and same. Unfortunately in Nigeria they are not one and same . An election which recorded the lowest rate of deaths from election violence can be termed peaceful; yet a peaceful election where voters’ choice are suppressed ; would-be voters are intimidated and systematically disenfranchised is certainly not a credible one. When the people cannot be allowed to take part in the process of selecting who rules them, then it is hard to address such election as credible ; this is because democracy is supposed to a be a government of the people , by the people and for the people . A government in a democratic settings derives its legitimacy from the Will of the people .

6. Politicians learn fast and going forward elections might be as peaceful as they have become due to the incidences that happened this election. A politician in lets say Rivers or Kogi who saw how his/her loyalists were disenfranchised by the powers that be will not fold or her hand next election.This systematic disenfranchisement of voters was first used on Nurudeen adeleke when a rerun election was ordered we saw videos of how people people were beaten by thugs loyal to his opponent and forced to go back home if they were t voting him. Guess what happened when he contested the second term against the same person? He perfected his own rigging machinery and he’s a sitting governor today . He beat them at the game.

7. Lastly , Nigerian politicians do not have a religion and not really answerable to any God except to their own self interests . I’ve seen Twitter post of Chimaroke claiming he was removed by Igbo patriots , priests and the church . A religious person would not blame his constituents, priests , elec for sacking him; instead he would accept it as God’s will. We’ve seen people with different religious interests bandie together to win elections .

FFK has been one of the most vocal critics of APC as a party in the past; he’s been acting like he’s the last hope for the Christian faith and was seen going from church to church sometimes in the past. He’s called APC an Islamic party out to Islamize Nigeria ; but guess which people he joined to continue for another 4 years and on a muslim-Muslim ticket? APC !
Na common man get religion, not the elite
