[b]Delivering the judgment, three out of a five-member panel agreed with the APC that the suit at the trial court ought not to have commenced via an originating summons since it contained allegations of fraud.So I've not been able to get fulls details of the Lawan-Machina case , but I got the excerpt above from Punch Newspaper's reporting of the judgement and Machina's camp reaction. As I guessed the Supreme Court in its usual manner has used technicality deny a man who won an election(primary election in this case) what rightfully belongs to him. Machina obtained senatorial nomination form, contested in the primary election and won. Then his party APC at the die minute submitted the name of Lawan as their candidate for the Senatorial election despite Lawan not participating in the primary election. Machina then goes to court and claimed that APC fraudulently substituted his name for Lawan's despite the latter not participating in the primary elections. Do you know what the supreme court did? The Supreme court in it's lead judgement knocked off Machina's case on the premise that if Machina claims his name was fraudulently substituted, then he should've called witnesses to prove the allegation of fraud instead of only filling originating summons. ( For educational purposes, this is what originating summons means: Originating Summons is one of the ways of commencing action in courts. An action commenced in this manner presupposes that the facts are not in dispute, and what is being asked for is interpretation of a document or law.) Summary of all this is that the case was knocked off on technicality basis. The danger of this kind of precedents is that u can get away with anything in Nigeria provided ur lawyer can persuade the Supreme court to knock off a case against u on technicality basis. |
GloriousGbola:There's something seriously wrong with the man called Muhammadu Buhari. They just sold dummy to us with the "Mr Integrity" tag |
Theflint1:There's everything wrong in appointing Ur goons to positions. It leads to conflict of interest irrespective of whether they are qualified for that post or not. Nepotism will always make u lower the bar for that family member and this will always affect the morale of others who aren't related to u but work with u. (Especiay if it's not a family business u are running) |
Itsrm:Is it propaganda too that Ikpeazu's candidate lost the rerun? |
Itsrm:Is it still a beer parlor gist? Ayu said, “We have resolved problem with Governor Ikpeazu and he is coming back. Two days ago, he was in my house because his candidate lost the primary.”https://www.nairaland.com/7557636/ayu-ortom-nowhere-go-ikpeazu Ur guy Wike just carried these guys go place wey dem no know. Now everybody dey fight their personal political battle on their own. |
So this is the recently famous Tunde Sabiu that has been giving El-Rufai and his goons sleepless nights. I did a little search on him and found out the following : 1. Tunde Sabiu is the 34 year old Buhari's nephew who works as his private secretary . He is the son of Buhari's neice; Hajia Halima who passed away in 2018. 2. Tunde Sabiu is not Yoruba like his first name suggests , rather he was named Tunde after Buhari’s late trusted deputy during military era; Tunde Idiagbon. 3. Tunde was not known to have any corporate work experience prior to Buhari winning the presidential elections in 2015. In fact , Tunde was known to be a recharge card seller in Kaduna pre-2015. He holds a degree from Bayern University 4. Buhari being his usual nepotistic self appointed Tunde Sabiu as an assistant director in the Nigeria Intelligence Agency(NIA) , a decision that attracted serous grumbling in the intelligence agency considering the fact that the post he was elevated to would at least cost u 16 years to attain if u joined NIA as a graduate without any prior work experience . 5. Tunde Sabiu has been at loggerheads with Aisha Buhari for a while as they do not see eye to eye on a lot of issues . In fact, Tunde Sabiu was at the center of the shooting incident that happened in the villa between Aisha’s aide and dem Tunde’s . During COVID-19 Tunde Sabiu travelled to Lagos in the presidential jet and when he came back he was expected to Self-isolate ; a call which Aisha made but fell on Tunde’s deaf ears thereby worsening their frosty relationship .(I guess this explains why Aisha was sharing El Rufai's video recently and Ajuri saying Buhari was wrongly advised/fed incorrect info) 6. It is believed that even service chiefs have to see Tunde before seeing the president . Some even believe he's the one man who is privileged to see the president when he wakes first in the morning and the last to see him late at night before bed.

Jodera:Oil dey Ur head! Of all languages, u choose to speak facts only. |
Customers dey queue, new notes dey inside vault dey collect AC. Nothing to see here, just bankers playing their part in the artificial naira scarcity crisis.
|
nihilistjnr:I think he was clear when he said Some LG Chairmen, hence why I asked him to mention one of them he knows. |
Nezzjnr:Mention one LG chairman in Lagos that u know is from the east. |
A001:The unfortunate thing is u will always see an average Nigeria readily defending such things due to their political leanings. I remember how some people were defending Akaredolu's appointment if his own son in his cabinet. Smh |
Things dey happen for this country sha

I'm interested in reading the facts of the case of Lawan & Machina. I will like to know on what authority the supreme premised their judgement. I remember one of the good things that was celebrated concerning the new electoral act was that it eliminates the issue of a place holder obtaining a ticket on ur behalf while you contest another election. As it stands it appears all that has gone to the gutters now. It appears the new electoral law will not achieve anything aferall. |
Wahala wahala wahala !!!

TrebleChamp:Those commercial banks are out to frustrate whatever good intentions CBN has about the whole naira redesign . Most of their oga at the top have political affiliations and they know those political patronage can be eroded if Buhari and his CBN succeed in preventing vote buying in the general elections . They are just typical Nigerians who will put their personal interests above public interests. These are the same bankers that made available dollars to APC and PDP aspirants during their respective primaries while the common businessman/importer was finding it difficult to access FX for importation . |
So I read Folarin Balogun is eligible to represent Nigeria , England and USA at the international level . He was given birth to in America by Nigerian parents and was raised in England 😳 |
mostob:I understand bro. I’m just happy that for a long time people are seeing us in Europe next season even before the league gets into half . We had fallen off for too long mehn. |
mostob:If anybody told u at the beginning of the season that we would only have lost 2 games and drawn 2 out of 20 games played thus far, would u believe ? We’ve won 16 out of 20 games bro! Except u are under the illusion that we would go unbeaten this season, I think we should cut Arteta and the team some slack. The matches we lost/draw were matches our players tried their best it wasn’t enough . |
raumdeuter:The problem with total population as a metric is the fact that the 2006 census figures were obviously inaccurate . A census that claimed Kano has more population than Lagos state is totally unreliable for any analysis. I remember one of the good things Tinubu government did which I will always credit him for was arranging for the state government’s survey side by side with NPC’s back then. The NPC’s figures claimed Lagos state had a population of 9m but Lagos state population survey that same year put Lagos’ population at around 17m. Religious factors in places like Kano allowed them cook figures up north . If a northerner claims he has 4 wives all of which have their faces covered and u as an enumerator goes to his house for counting , u just have to take his word for it cos u wouldn’t insist u want to gaze at them eye ball to eyeball . The population figures is neither here nor there |
This is me right now

Itsrm:. I just saw another video on IG of sterling bank Ado Ekiti. They've had 6m worth of new notes for 2 weeks now and they’ve not disbursed any since then. These banks who have the cash have been hoarding it for reasons best known to them, hence the reason why the cash has been scarce . |
iamoyindamola:I hope he does o. At least make we collect 3 points |
This Emerson Royal useless gan. |
johnjunior39:Me sef dey Hope say dem go dey useful just this once and their useless keeper no go give city free goal |
Na strong head go kill Guardiola |
City don collect ![]() |
I learnt this is 278m being hoarded by a commercial bank while their customers are being denied access to cash (I don’t know how accurate the figures are tho) . https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoSXK48pabI/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= |
raumdeuter:I think the basis of this analysis is faulty for the following reasons : 1. You used total population of each states as denominator . The total population includes minors who are not eligible to vote , ex-convicts who cannot vote or be voted for under Nigerian law , elderly people/sick people who are incapacitated, eligible voters who weren’t able to register to vote due to one reason or the other , and finally those who actually registered to vote . 2 . The number of eligible registered voters would be a good metric since those are the people who actually are allowed to vote by law and took a step by getting registered to vote and their data is available in the public space . 3. Oyo is not the most populated SW State but Lagos , hence u used convenient sampling technique (which is a non-probability sampling method ) while picking Oyo state as a against stratified sampling technique( which is a probability sampling method ) u used for Anambra state . |
raumdeuter:I think the way to go is as follows : 1. Select a particular election year ( probably 2019) 2. Get a list of registered voters in all the SE states and a list of actual voters in all the SE states. 3. Get a lot of registered voters in all the NC states and a list of actual voters in all the NC states . 4. Divide the number of actual voters by the number of accredited voters in each geopolitical zone and multiply it by 100 to get the percentage of actual voters to registered voters . 5. Compare and contrast the percentages to know who where the rate of voter apathy in each of the two zones. |
Itsrm:Personally I think that Osun election should be cancelled outrightly by the courts and a fresh election ordered . An election in which 185k votes was cancelled out of about 778k polled by both APC and PDP is definitely not a credible one. Both parties are beneficiaries of a fraudulent electoral process; just that one benefited more than the other . |
Theflint1:I was a presiding officer in the 2015 elections and I know for a fact that the card readers then had a list of all voters accredited through the card reader . For those who had valid PVC’s but for some reasons their fingerprints weren’t read by the card readers , there was an incident report form that was filled with their details . So at the end of the day if u add the number of those accredited through the card reader and the incident report form , it must not exceed the number of registered voters for that polling unit . Now I learnt after subsequent elections the process has been modified , incident report forms had been phased out and now only BVAS are the means of voters accreditation . It is said that the BVAS are capable of transmitting list of accredited voters and voting results in real time as per Osun election . So what I’m saying is if that was in place in Osun and still the whole thing still got messy, INEC owes us an explanation of what what they will do differently between now and February 25 cos if the kind level wey happen for Osun happen nationwide , the election might become inconclusive and politicians of different parties who have spent good amount of money would not hesitate to unleash mayhem with the help of their political thugs o |
