The report just states that the ads contravene state laws on such ads but it doesn't state the particular law(s) being contravened.

This clarification must be done for transparency sake ( who am I kidding?).

Veterans and Professors Emeritus at rigging who have over half a century of combined experience in the dark arts of election rigging

a seemingly intellectually bereft manually-operated individual with a somewhat relatively fair reputation, corruption-wise surrounded by Election Rigging 101 and Electoral Fraud 205 students.

That is why buhari is asking for another 4yrs..when he came to power..jonathan had already created economic sabotage,war in north and..a lots of low key participation had been done.

All these things that you have attributed to why the current administration need another term still persist. The only difference is that they have all thrived better and blossomed into much bigger matters than they once were in the previous administration.

An attempt to accept your argument would imply accepting the potential reality that this current administration might shift constitutional goal posts to allow them spend more terms of promises and shadow-boxing with corruption. All in the name of finishing their so-called change process.

It is too dangerous to gamble with even if for the future of our children alone.

In this regard, your argument is only an insult to our sensibilities as a nation of intellectual progressives.

But is it not a fact that the Naira has remained stable for 1 year? I'm not a fanboy, but you have to admit this is true. Even when oil was rising in previous administrations, Naira fell in value. How they do it is another question, but it has been stable, unlike any other time - and that helps investor confidence. Seeing that your investments won't just lose value in six months because of depreciating currency.

My son used to be between 5th and 9th position in a class of about 60 pupils then he started sliding term-by-term gradually to 12th, 16th, 21st. . . till he got to 35th!

Then he got to 45th and maintained that position for 1 whole year and his teacher told me to commend my son because he's been able to maintain being worse academically than about 75% of the class because, it could have been worse.

It's even embarrassing to be typing this. Gosh!

Nice one

NwaAmaikpe:



Donald Duke is someone I consider a friend.
He is an intelligent young man with a proven track of excellence in leadership.
His personal life is also a reflection of the great standards he sets for himself.
His proficiency in the Saxophone and his knowledge of Jazz paints him as a multi-tasker with a healthy worl-life balance.

In as much as Nigeria will be best with a leader like him at it's helm of affairs. The time is not now.
This battle is for the swift,
This race is for the strong.
This is also a battle that must be won if the war will be won.

Donald Duke is not that man to win this battle considering his electoral strength in the core-North who are programmed by default to vote based on ethnic and religious sentiments.
Only Atiku has the speed, the strength and Northern political clout to win this fight.

So a vote for Donald Duke is a vote lost to Atiku and a vote for Buhari.
We must eliminate vote-splitting by not considering the featherweights if Buhari must be sent back to Daura.

Even Donald understands this.
You should too.
Please do not split your vote by voting SDP.
Let's unite and vote Atiku so that we can send the dullard back to Daura.

Interesting

I wonder why, with all our fancy education, wisdom and experience, it's so admittedly unfathomable that the challenge nay, fear of millions of tele-controlled northerners voting for fellow northern candidates who clearly will perform poorly relative to others can't be surmounted.

I think the quoted piece is a truth but IMO, another truth though not apparent, is that there's a way bring the so called tele-controllables to understand and appreciate the reality on ground. This project will cost time, intellect and money. But, it is a possibility.

It's a good step to identify the problem but the next move must be to fashion out a solution and keep evolving it until the problem ceases.

The central piece in the quoted text is this: "the time is not now".

Nice one but

I think the most important question will be if he'd leave quietly like his predecessor if he loses.

Also, I'd like to know what GDP and HDI targets were set in his 1st term and what plans are on ground to improve on those figures in his second term if he wins.

I'd ask why year-on-year school enrolment figures aren't growing and what measures will be put in place to stem the tide.

Power, Health, Law Enforcement, Housing, Security and capacity building for conducting credible elections at all levels will also be inquired about.

These were my exact thoughts!!

Kwaraption stew

RM should goan sit down abeg

(1)

As elicited by the league boss, for various reasons in the La Liga, teams play home matches outside of their home towns/cities so it's not a new thing.

(2)

Here in Nigeria, we were intimated of this development long ago so RM can't comman start trying to make us believe that they weren't informed.

(3) Is RM the only other team in the league? If they're the only ones against this wonderful development, they should just goan sit down and fasten a seat belt on while at it

funlover1:
It's obvious the the idiott who wrote this was sponsored by Hashim and the erstwhile chairman of ANN

We all know that Hashim who is a former PDP chieftain and former governorship aspirant in kwara state was sponsored by PDP to scatter ANN

Nonsense!

I want to liken this situation to the one in which King Solomon in the bible once found himself:

Two women were claiming ownership of an infant and one of them agreed at the wise king's suggestion that the baby be cut into two and a half given to each woman.

These petty squabbles could be addressed internally by the party. If a party member flouts a party rule, there are provisions in the constitution of the party to address the misdeed. Nowhere in the constitution does it suggest that it should be publicised, especially because of the long term ripple effect that it will have on the party.

Let's assume that these allegations are truthful, there's no point in dragging the name of the party down with the erring member(s). They should be penalised, executed, excommunicated or whatever their constitution prescribes accordingly.

These reports smack of an interest aimed at bringing down the fledgling party.

If the allegations aren't truthful, there's at least, one big mole in that fold.

Either ways, someone's dead serious about killing the ANN. And that person isnt doing badly.

" . . . It's the Christians . . . It's the Muslims . . . It's the northerners . . . It's the southerners . . . It's the civilians . . . It's the military . . ."

What if it's just external forces tickling our nervea, stoking our fires, just to create division and orchestrate serious conflict, you know, some propaganda campaign, for their own benefit?

Anyways, what do I know?

Even if all the terrorism in this world was concentrated on next year’s elections, it can never measure up to the amount of rigging (and its effects) being currently planned by the powers that be.

Interesting thread

Good time to begin to show what the incumbents have been doing (or ignoring) or just waking up to do to score political points.

Also a tenable template to use in building a benchmark for aspirants (incumbent or not).

After roads and transportation, probably run others on health, waste disposal, water supply, education, security, power and housing

Because, these are supposed to be the primary elements of government and not where leaders are from, what party they belong to or or who they’re partying with or fighting against.

noamchumsky:
What about kpomo, chichin, etc

What about them? What are those tho

Because of the complete reversal in progress made by the fashola administration in the following areas,

Lawma
LagosHoms
LSWC
Roads Maintenance
Street Lights
Hospitals
amongst others

He doesn't deserve a second term but
Removal of VIO from roads and clipping the wings of Lastma is the best thing he did for me

I hia you

If Donald Duke says he wants to legalise prostitution as a means to alleviate problems stemming from stress and and possible heart attacks, Daddy Freeze will still find a way to link it to pastors, tithes, offerings . . .

Impunity at its peak

Itohan11:
What is the business of cpc with the way private companies run their businesses? Or is multchoice owned by the Federal government?

CPC should please help Nigerians by prevailing on Electric Distribution companies to reduce charges.

Last month, when SLOT refused to refund my money over the fake spare phone batteries that they sold to me, it was the CPC that helped me collect my money to the last penny.

Agreed, focus should be on other more important issues but individuals directly affected have to report the matters to the CPC or else, they will linger. Even this case probably started with private complaints before it snowballed into a court case.

We can rant and rave all day on our keyboards but, until we start making demands at the right quarters, the status quo will persist.

I wonder what ever happened to TSTv.

Flaming thunderbolts and flying shjt !!!

I miss snake posts tho.

Lalalee, how far nau

Cool stuff

[/s]Legislatures[s] Legislators jumping through windows is not new, as it was in 1962, so it is now!

I noticed that, in both cases, there were policemen right in the thick of things doing practically nothing.

I'm just wondering exactly what the policemen stationed by that gate in the more recent pictures are doing. As in, what could the instructions from their superiors have been?

"Secure the gate and ensure that it's not stolen"?

If only Fela was alive and kicking today, album go don full by now

In the last dispensation, they used these guys, amongst others, to railroad the opposition

And then they banned them and unleashed the police on them.

It's less than a year to elections and now this.

All I can say is, stay woke.
