The thing is not that he was granted bail, we know na so the case go pass die. Are you a lawyer? That 500m wey he go pay as bail, who get am as I thought bail is free apart from police station own oh.

The N500m will be held in trust by the courts. If he jumps bail, he will forfeit the N500m to the federal government and will be most likely re-arrested. However, if he doesn't jump bail, he will get the N500m at the end of the trial. The money has nothing to do with police or police authorities.

47c3ee:
This man murderer 14 people and he has been granted bail just like that

This is exactly how lawless Nigeria can be

There’s nothing about lawlessness here . The 5 offences he’s being tried for are bailable offences .

Making bail does not mean he’s being let go . Baba Ijesha made bail before he was eventually sentenced to prison for rape

Segedinho wetin dey happen for edo na ?

I watched one lawyer read this same thing you just posted and he was saying the bolded means the FCT should not be treated as a state. He said that portion says "as if it were" which implies that it's not

To be fair to him, he said the political leanings of a lawyer will determine his interpretation of the constitution

This here is the crux of the matter !

chrisooblog:
Supreme Court has already made a pronouncement on the 25% FCT Issue. In 2003 when Buhari dragged Obasanjo to the election tribunal one of the prayers by the Buhari legal team was that OBJ shouldn't have been declared president because he didn't win 25% of FCT during the presidential election of that year however the Supreme Court ruled in favour of OBJ saying the FCT is also considered a state meaning if you get 25% in 37 states counting the FCT you're good.

Even logically are we saying if somebody gets 25% in 36 states he won't be declared the winner because he didn't get 25% in FCT?

Aondoakaa mentioned 2008 in the interview

afrodoc2:
Do you have a link to Aondoakaa’s or interview or to that 2008 Supreme Court judgement?

I would be surprised if it’s true cos it makes no logical sense to give FCT voters inordinately more power than state voters.

One thing about these our electoral laws is that it seems our lawyers are either running a scam or are incompetent.
Why do we keep drafting ambiguous laws that are always open to various interpretations?

raumdeuter:
If Aodonkaa said that and presented evidence then he must be on weed

This will mean that you can win all 36 states but as long as you don't win 25% in Abuja you cannot be declared winner? That doesn't make sense

So there's no need to campaign in all the states just make sure your opponent doesn't get 25% in Abuja and he will never be president

Unfortunately, neither me nor u is in a position to say the Supreme Court was right or wrong . It’s only the Supreme Court that either stand by it’s previous decison or overrule itself on that matter .

Creed 3 is out here on cinema though
Nihilistjnr, Ibime

Blueraydick na boxing movie, a very badass one
Try watching it in VR i wanted to love boxing but nah not my kind of sport.
Watch 1 and 2 fess

I’ve watched creed 1 and 2…. I don’t think I will be really interested in watching the 3 sha. I think boxing is not my kind of sport sha

TrebleChamp:
Peter Obi has filed his case challenged the fraud called election. I don't believe in the Judiciary anymore, it would be interesting to see how they give Judgement based on the real results on INEC Irev portal. No Nigerian President has ever been removed by the court, but their is always a first time for everything...

I’m also very much interested in the courts particularly the final Supreme Court judgement on this election matters . I really want to to see how the judgement will pan out.

Recently the former AGF Aondoakaa was on AriseTv and he insisted INEC erred in declaring Tinubu the outright winner of the election because in 2008 the supreme made a pronouncement that the winner of presidential election must obtain 25% in the FCT. It will be interesting to see if the Supreme Court still stand by this decision or it will overrule itself on it.

I guess we don’t have any other option but to watch and see how things pan out sha

Yahoo boys boys don start their own

larride:
Dino claimed there was over voting in Ekiti when he challenged the result.

It turns out that there was under voting sef and not overvoting as he challenged.

PDP is just grasping at straw.

Yeah I know . Na only Dino really complain about the result in Ekiti and his complaint has since been quashed . I’ve not really seen any evidence of rigging in Ekiti.

I don’t know why people on social media are moving mad about the result in Ekiti that is normally an APC state .

Itsrm:
Last night, I was having this conversation with a PDP member who is the youth leader of the area I live and raised some of these issues

In his own words, "whatever you have to do to make INEC announce you the winner just do. We will deal with court cases later"

I guess that's what they tell themselves during their meetings.

Dem don show us say INEC na the new kingmaker in town, either we agree or we go to court.

NinjaXmetahuman:
Oga o

How did the op conclude everyone commenting on the Twitter thread are OBIdients ? For all we know , it was Dino a PDP spokesperson that challenged the result of the Ekiti presidential result .

I’m interested in how the Op of the nairaland thread drew his inference

iamoyindamola:
I no they take him serious since I corrected him twice on his fake circulars
I just conclude he's idle looking for avenue for people to drag him

Just a look at the dashboard picture of the person who broke the news can easily point it out to anybody who knows Lagos well that the bridge the person is driving on is Carter bridge and not Eko bridge . That’s descending the bridge at Idumota .

I just hope they verify some of these things going forward in order not to mislead a whole lot of people .

nihilistjnr:
How on earth were INEC planning to get away with this shït?

This isn't even a case of hiding the electoral results behind the opacity of internal procedures. You guys published the raw data yourselves but called a different total score.

What was the plan? Omo I'm seriously confused

That was why I had problem with INEC chairman hastily announcing the winner of the presidential election without listening to complaints of different parties contesting the results based on the form EC8 results they have at their disposal .

I chose not to engage APC supporters here and outside this thread who kept on saying parties should have raised issues at the local and state level collation . It’s always sweet when such recklessness like INEC displayed favors u…. U won’t care whether anybody’s waling is genuine or not .

Just imagine INEC uploading results on their own portal that is in contrast with what they announced ? How will anybody ever trust INEC again to conduct any kind of credible election ?

As far as I’m concerned , they can as well announce the winners of the governorship election at 6am on Saturday before voting starts sef . We don leave am for dem to choose our leaders for us .

iamoyindamola:
And his oga will be shouting gaslighting up and down

This was why eko bridge was closed
Now my question is the job for sanwoolu or buhari to repair

I just decided not to comment yesternight and allow Larride have a go at him . Initially I wanted to ask him if he was in Lagos but the moment I saw Larride talk about him being resident outside Lagos , I just understood he was being misled by people like him outside Lagos posting unverified news .

As at Friday the bridge was still closed and no visible improvement/repairs work has been done . So I knew instantly the news was fake.

iamoyindamola:
How una they know all these people sef

lol. Na by following Lagos politics

iamoyindamola:
She wan use her papa name campaign na

It didn’t work for her in 2019. Pepe riro won her when she still dey PDP

iamoyindamola:
There you go

Oh, she’s the daughter of the immediate past Ayangburen of Ikorodu . Wonder why she still restrained her father’s surname tho.

But she no too try for Labour Party for the presidential election sha. LP no see good scores for her LGA; Ikorodu. I just hope that want to bet on GRV are seeing these indicators sha . Make dem no go out money for game wey don cuts before e start

iamoyindamola:
Them wan carry us go where we no know

I just find it odd that nobody has talked about the deputy for GRV like people have done for Funke

larride:
A princess

What’s her name ? I’ve not really heard much about her nor see pictures of her like that if her principal

Abeg who is GRV’s deputy designate ?

Melvyn11:
Breakfast go reach the entire family.

After Okowa chop breakfast for presidential election , his daughter is currently pleading that Deltans vote her in for state house of assembly

So like this una don use legal battle retire our own elder statesman

Never thought our own 50 year old keyboard elder statesman will be retired by a mere legal battle threat

Both of the Warring parties are probably serving bans currently . The fact that their posts were cleared off suggests that .

obainojazz:
Some people actually carried their stupidiiity internationally

Some of them are dumb naturally ; with or without the Obi movement , they are dumb .

kingBolton:
Cancelo's exit was also a shock.
It's one thing to be technical good and it's another thing to be technically good and also confident in your own ability, when i watch zinchenko play, he combines the two. Top signing for you guys.

I’ve always loved Zinchencko from his early days at city . I always see him as a 10 mandated to play LB. It was the same feeling I had when Saka was playing LB for arsenal .

No matter how u hide a diamond in dirt, it always shine through

kokaneprodigy:
One of the biggest strengths of any body managing people is to have a good and solid succession plan. Value your team however make them “see” for themselves that no one is indispensable.

Apples and oranges. Guardiola has ego issues and it’s obvious ; it doesn’t have anything to do with man management .

Donjazet2:
My suggestion is that Labour Party should transition from a normal Nigerian political Party to a R3VOLUTIONARY Political Institution with a single mandate to Cause a Radical National Transformation in the country - nicknamed the Overhauling Party.

LP should study other R3VOLUTIONARY Political movements across the world and bring such level of politics to Nigeria.

The new LP senators and HOR members should not be "OH YES" Members in the National Assembly.

They should never get into that pressure of building toilets in their Constituencies... No. Legislators are not elected to build infrastructure but to hold the executive accountable, make laws and interface between the citizens and the government. They should focus on doing the job of a legislator and put pressure on the executive to build and maintain infrastructure.

Labour should have a functional Political Education Directorate - PED.
The political education directorate shall be responsible for indoctrinating new members with the ideologies of the party. Political ideology is lacking in Nigerian politics. People join the "winning party" or the one they think can win. Enough of that. Every member of Labour Party should go through LP's political school, subscribe to their political ideologies and be able to evangelize the same ideologies to others. Everything LP stands for including Manifestos should be established on the party's ideologies - not solely on candidates personal desires/ideas. Nobody should be allowed to run on the platform of LP until they have gone through the LP political foundation School.

The Labour Party should have huge control over its elected officials. If you win an election on the platform of LP, you cannot suddenly become more powerful than LP. The Party should charge a compulsory percentage of the salaries of her elected officials which should be paid into the party's account monthly.
This will discourage Political money gamblers from running on the party's platform.

And lastly, labour party should hold rallies quarterly - not just during election campaign seasons.
Labour Party should be seen on the streets campaigning for a better Nigeria, protesting against bad government and relating with the common Nigerian on the street. The chairman should do house to house visits once every week. It should be on his weekly routine to visit at least 5 Nigerian families every week, interact with them and document their experiences.

To be the game changer, Labour Party can no be just another BIG PARTY like PDP and APC... No. They should organise a Diaspora political interface where Nigerians in Diaspora can help shape politics in Nigeria for the benefit of Nigeria.

Labour Party can do so much starting from now until Peter Obi reclaims our mandate through the courts.
Copied.

Most of the points noted here are not practicable in a democracy like Nigeria .

1. Labour Party has just 6 senators out of 109 senatorial seats in the National Assembly while they have about 34 out of 360 seats in the HOR. If these members choose not to align with other members in the respective houses who are members of other parties; they won’t achieve anything in the house for the next 4 years . Nobody will give the bills they sponsor any reasonable consideration and they will end up not effecting any serious change . So yes, they will just have to make do with being “OH YES “ members while trying to build working relationship with other members of the house .

2. Mandating people to go through “LP’s political school “ will only mean the party will die a natural death . In fact, the party needs political aspirants more than the aspirants need LP. If u go to areas like Northeast and some parts of Southwest where the party has no reasonable foothold and u mandate people to go through any political school, they will just avoid the party like a plague and it will never grow beyond the level it is presently .The author seem to be getting carried away with the media frenzy surrounding the Obi-Datti movement forgetting LP is first of all a political through which different politicians in different states and localities hope to use as vehicle to actualize their dreams for the people they want to represent . If they try to force any ideology on people , they will help populate parties like YPP, SDP, ADC where such people will be forced to move to.

3. Charging political office holders money monthly will never work ; even if does it will be counter productive . Here is why : There’s no law either in the Nigerian constitution , electoral act or the party’s constitution that makes provision for such charges on the income of political office holders under the party. If LP decides to then amend its constitution to mandate people to make such payments to the party’s account monthly , it will only push members to dip their hands into the cookie jar; something we criticize APC and PDP house of assembly members for daily .

Look at it this way, u remember the NDDC off ur mic saga right ? U know the members of house committee on Niger Delta affairs have their hands serious dipped in corruption such that when Akpabio began naming names they had to shush him ? If the party takes a chunk of a LP house of assembly member’s income , they will have no choice but to make the shortfall through other means like receiving bribes for overseeing projects/contracts awarded by the executive and the whole corruption cycle continues . Nothing changes !

4. Lastly I don’t think political parties should be on the street protesting . It doesn’t look good ; let’s say there’s something like ENDSARS and u go there to find out it’s just LP as a party that is protesting it. It will make room for the ruling party to dismiss such protests as lacking merit . They will just see it as a party trying to take control of government through forceful means instead of the ballot box . Just one executive order and the party can even be deregistered ; the party leaders charged for treason and things will go south .

In order for labor party to consolidate on the success it has achieved thus far, it requires serious strategic thinking and not just 90% emotions, 10% thinking .

Things just hard anyhow

Make march 11th come jare make una everybody vote for who dem wan vote for make we rest .

kingBolton:
I am still wondering how and why pep allowed zinchenko to join arsenal. His technical quality for a left back is world class.

Guardiola is one proud moda4cker. He believes nobody is irreplaceable; na that him ego go still end up to be him albatross .

Just look at how he let Cancelo too go recently .
