Last week when I was going to town, at APO round about ((Abuja), I saw campaign posters of Fayose seeking for Nigerians' votes as the president come 2019. When I got to town, some people confirmed that he was the one that even posted some by himself. That very night, I saw it in the news that he has officially declared his intention of becoming Nigeria's next president. I was not actually bothered because 'polititics is politics'. I had deliberations with different people ranging from 'can he win? Is he credible? Is he capable? What is his chance of winning? to can he deliver?' and so on so forth. But this evening, something cane to my mind about the adequate time for valid campaign launching period and during my research, I stormed on this piece:
On 30th July, 2014 it was reported by Festus Owete of Premium Times that new billboards urging Nigerian voters to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 presidential election had sprang up at strategic corners of Abuja against repeated warnings by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to politicians not to commence campaign before the stipulated time. This was clearly in contravention of Section 99 (1-3) of the Electoral Act which states that for the purpose of this Act, the period of campaigning in public by every political party shall commence 90 days before polling day and end 24 hours prior to that day. A registered political party which through any person acting on its behalf during the 24 hours before polling day procures for publication or acquiesces in the publication of an advertisement in a Newspaper for the purpose of promoting or opposing particular candidates, commits an offence under this Act and upon conviction is liable to a maximum fine of N500,000.

Now, my curiosity falls on:
1. Is this (culled) article right about the campaign timing? ie 90 days b4 election/polls as opening and 24hrs b4 election as closing
2. What's the validity of this act/law VI's a vis Nigerian constitution as it has been violated and rdped many times?
3. Does it mean it is ineffective because of the fine of 500k attached to it?
4. Is it invalid because of unavailability of evidences or our judiciary system is just too weak?
5. Does the act itself make any sense?
6. If atall it makes sense, the 90 days grace is too short I reasonably think; may be days why the politicians are not too keen for the law.election campaign requires a lot, and time.
7. Then, if it is a vahid law, why are they not prosecuting offenders even when it is obvious that people are cmitting this offence?
I believe our senior advocates in the house will be able to do legitimate justice to the aforementioned fundamental questions as av also been able to answer some personally as a lame man.... No bias for casual contributors please.

I will quickly dodge the first shot and push her. I will hold her b4 she falls, then, will carry her at my back. I will look at the direction of the shooter and take the other way round. I will throw her in the sky and join the lift. B4 she lands I would have carried her again in the air. I will immediately rush into the available car and drag the driver down, I will start the engine making sure her head is below the dash board. Then I will speed off.

Yes we can!


If she can take her own too after, why not, if not, you know the rest.

Dis one don drink finish com dey disturb us 4 NL with nonsense video. Wey d KANU for this video? The boiz DAT are wearing black after d gun shots went down, where were they b4? If those one could live after the gunshots and still escaped arrest, then that was not the day army invaded his house. Then. If that was the day, KANU had enough time and opportunity to escape through back door even without informing those mumunze.

atheist5:
yes,look at Europe people don't give a f4ck about god/gods yet their lives are 100x better

They imported modern day religion to us and they still believe in gods/God. Those who are more educated n knowledgeable than you in all ramifications of life. Jare e! Don't be dulled.

I warn people that weed and its smoke serve the same purpose, don't breathe whole you pass by.

FisifunKododada:
Nigerian society is too tainted with religious extremism for even the highly educated to function properly. If you are highly educated and you still believe Jesus walked on water/rose from the dead or Muhammed was a peaceful human being - then your education has failed you. The purpose of education is to promote awareness/consciousness. That's why if you meet the top scientists/intellectuals in the world, they tend to exude a zen like (or yogi like) quality. One possible reason for this is that they have reached a point were they are fully convinced that their ignorance far outweighs their knowledge. Only arrogant people say things like: "There is God." or "There is no God." The truth of the matter is nobody knows. And I mean NOBODY. Look at all the problems we have created in Nigeria because of people who are "absolutely sure" of the existence of a sky Daddy - Boko Haram, killing of twins; prosperity gospel aka spiritual corruption; killing of 'witches'; etc. Yet, the most significant consequence of our extreme religious belief is that Nigeria is a country of 180 million people, the vast majority of whom are AWAITING the end of the world. If you believe the world is coming to an end, why would you be FULLY committed to make your society a better place? Most Nigerians believe that this world does not matter because they are gonna START A NEW LIFE WITH THEIR SKY DADDY after the world ENDS. This is one of the most fundamental reason behind Nigeria's underdevelopment. So, until a sizable number of Nigerians are committed to creating HEAVEN on this Nigerian EARTH, rather than awaiting some sky Daddy to descend from the sky and save us, corruption and underdevelopment continues to no end.

If Ogun com strike you now, don't you think the elites of generations yet unborn will not believe in gods/God?

Terrorists every where wetin we go do na?

A human rights group, Advocate of Social Justice for All has called for the immediate extradition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra back to Nigeria.

The group said it was disappointed that the UK government was hiding Kanu, after he had caused the death of many persons in Nigeria.


The rights group was reacting to the shocking revelation made by former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu that Kanu fled to London through Malaysia.

The ex- Abia state governor had said, “Kanu was not taken away by the military. Kanu went to Malaysia from where he travelled to the United Kingdom.”‎

Reacting, however, ASJA said it was disappointed to learn that Kanu was hiding in the United Kingdom after illegally travelling through Cameroon and Malaysia.

It said the development was a clear indication that the UK was harbouring a fugitive from Justice and this was irrespective of him holding dual nationalism – Nigeria and the United Kingdom.


“The proper thing is for the UK to have allowed Kanu answer the treason charges against him in Nigeria before making any intervention,” the group said in a statement by its Executive Director, Asongo Venatius,.

ASJA said it was supremely irresponsible for the UK High Commission in Nigeria to have issued its statement seeking clarification on Nnamdi Kanu when it knew it was in cahoots with the terrorist leader.

He added, “The irresponsible behaviour became diabolic when the UK issued him an emergency travel document in collaboration with crisis merchants. This is the worst form of double standard ever.

“We are at a loss to understand what the UK Mission in Nigeria or even the home country stands to gain by mischievously sinking so low to aid and facilitate his sneaking out of the country. This is a disgrace to the government and people of the United Kingdom, it is a blot that can only be erased by the government of the UK flushing out Kanu and all other bad elements that are trying to sabotage Nigeria.


“If the UK truly believes in freedom, it must extradite Kanu, who is facing charges in a Nigerian court, so that those who stood surety to perfect his bail conditions do not end up in jail if he fails to show up for his trial.

“Even where the UK has decided to spurn the ties that existed between it and Nigeria, we advise it to revisit the ill-advised choice of backing a terrorist against the Nigerian state. “As the UK should have learnt from initially supporting ISIS terrorists, the attacks by these sick minds would eventually take place on its soil.


“The Advocates of Social Justice for All (ASJA) therefore demands that the UK High Commission in Nigeria immediately extradite Nnamdi Kanu to stand trial for his crime before his October 17, 2017 court appearance. Failure to do this will see ASJA leading Nigerians to occupy the UK High Commission’s premises in a manner it has never experienced before in any other part of the world.”

We know u r still alive, madam!

Pple can ask stewpeed question fa! Person wear eye glass, tshirt, jeans and ankle boots, and your problem develops. Do u want him to wear grass? Or he should wear agbada all the time. Is it your chest,?

Ezniteadin:
I am a believer in Jesus. Thanks for asking. Jesus saves. He can save you too

Born again or just a christian?

With this, pple no even remember our own terrorist (s) again.... SheKan.

Ezniteadin:
So, he is Christian because he is not a Muslim right?
See how Muslims define Christian
For your information, the face that a man was born in a predominantly so called Christian country does not make him a Christian
To be a Christian is to be a saved from sins, to be born again, to accept the lordship of Jesus Christ the SON of God
The same Jesus rejected by Muslims
A believer in Jesus will not kill God's creatures as Paddock has done.
He only live in America and did not tell you he was born again
To be a Christian is to be born again. Look around you they are not so many
You can be one by letting Jesus come into your life like Nabeel Qurashi

Uhuhnnn! Bravo! So y can now differentiate btw a Christian and a born again now? And so. Which group do u belong to o?

He was not a good christian
