thunder74:
On the 2nd day of March, the ruling will not last more than 2 minutes. It will read like this.

This case is further dismissed and the reason shall be given at a later day.

Do you think the justice did not know what they were supposed to do when they initially dismissed the case? Even a blind man can see what is going on.

I think u will be proved wrong. They thought they could just sweep the judgment under the carpet and everybody will move on. But now EVERYBODY IS WATCHING.
This is not like any other SC judgment in recent memory. In this case the Supreme Court, in broad daylight, unabashedly aided and abetted clear fraud and rigging that even an elementary school kid can see is fraud and rigging.

Psoul:
They will refuse to review it not that they don't know that the decision was a total mess, but because they want to discourage people easily seeking for a Supreme Court case review. That will make the Supreme Court to lose her Supremacy.

Which is more important: people asking for review (which SC can simply reject) or the integrity of the SC and judiciary? How can people still have confidence in a SC that aids fraud and rigging that even a child can clearly see is fraud and rigging??

Biafrarep:
Last Las, they will return Imo to PDP and give back Bayelsa to APC

But the cases are not comparable. Disqualifications, as in Bayelsa, are common in politics. Imo, on the other hand, is not like any other SC judgment in recent memory. In Imo the Supreme Court, in broad daylight, unabashedly aided clear fraud and rigging that even an elementary school kid can see is rigging.

That Supreme Court Magic Judgment
This Day (Lagos) 17 FEBRUARY 2020

... According to summary of trial materials, no ward collation agent was called to show that at the collation center results were brought from the 388 polling units where the alleged exclusion took place...

The petitioner, rather called 28 polling unit agents who came to identify some of the results tendered by the petitioner from the bar. All the electoral documents were tendered from the bar and thus dumped on the court without anybody giving evidence correlating the contents of the result forms with the tabulation done by the petitioner himself.

Each of the 18 polling unit agents under cross-examination, manifested ignorance of the contents of the documents and never convinced anybody of being present in their claimed polling units...

When confronted with the purported result sheets tendered by the petitioners, each of the witnesses admitted as follows:
i. The names and signatures of the Presiding Officers are not well found on those results.
ii. The names and signatures of other party agents did not appear on the result sheets, neither could they mention even one party agent of the other political parties in those booths.
iii. The result sheets do not contain the total number of ballot papers used and number of ballot papers unused or invalid. The scores of political parties are not clear on the face of the documents.

Based on the above, it appears the Supreme Court was desperately working to an answer in favour of the ruling party... and the only opening to do that was to accept the fictitious results of the 388 polling units willy-nilly. And instead of doing substantial justice on the matter, it ended up delivering one of judiciary's greatest infamies which even a kid learning arithmetic can see through. The judgment turned logic on its head, rewrote the basic universal laws of arithmetic and did grave and substantial injury to our democracy and the power of the people to choose who governs them. With this judicial precedent, the Supreme Court has inevitably rubber-stamped political rascality and the judgment could shape our democratic future.

The court has widened the opening which politicians exploit and manipulate to get into elective offices. All one needs to do is to stay somewhere, maybe in one's room, probably with one policeman or so, write one's own results, submit to INEC for counting and if it refuses, don't worry, bid your time till you get to the court. With supreme arrogance, the final court of appeal will recognise the results as legitimate, credible and authentic and pronto, you will be declared duly elected.

...Even more perplexing was the fact that in some of the polling units, voter turnout was more than the registered voters. How is this possible?
In Uzodinma's result sheets, there was no voided vote and only two parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC participated and were reflected in the election results of the 388 polling units. Yet, 70 political parties participated in that election and were all reflected in the INEC declared results of other polling units all over the state. ..,Does it mean that other parties such as All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Alliance (AA), etc., did not participate in the election in those 388 polling units contrary to INEC's results in other areas of the state?
Why did the result sheets reflect only two parties when so many parties participated in the said election? Apparently, Senator Uzodinma concocted those results that fly in the face of the basic laws of arithmetic and common sense between the PDP and the APC after the fact that the PDP had won the election and he only scored his party a vote figure higher than the PDP vote. The corollary to that is that if it was any other party that was on the cusp of victory, Uzodinma's results would have been between just the APC and that party! Yet our almighty Supreme Court glossed over all these fundamental anomalies in Uzodinma's result sheets which had been rejected by even INEC... and accepted same as authentic.
A further assessment of the result sheets of the disputed 388 polling units showed that the said units are all in the Orlu Senatorial Zone where Uzodinma and the candidate of the Action Alliance Ugwumba Uche Nwosu come from. So even if the 388 polling units were concentrated mostly in Uzodinma's ancestral home, surely, Nwosu who emerged second in the March 9, 2019 election in Imo State and was backed by the incumbent governor at the time, Rochas Okorocha, his father in-law, must have amassed some votes from the units. But these votes were curiously missing, for the simple reason that they forged the results, and very badly at that.
Furthermore, Uzodinma of the APC scored an average of 98% of the total votes cast in the 388 units, whereas he scored an average of 13% in the remaining polling units in the state. How could this be? Why was it that it was only in these 388 units throughout the state that the voter turnout was either more than the registered voters or achieved 98 to 100 percent of the registered voters? Please note that emphasis is NOT on the number of accredited voters which is usually far less than the number of registered voters. Uzodinma's fake results validated by our Supreme Court defy reason. The pattern of the results from the disputed 388 polling units clearly shows the improbability of such an occurrence. And on the basis of the testimony of one policeman, and 28 discredited polling units' agents who gave contradictory statements at trial, the Supreme Court accepted the results.

In declaring Uzodinma governor of Imo State, the Supreme Court simply annulled a valid mandate freely given to an individual and transferred it to another person who came fourth in the election.

What sort of people do they have in that Imo state anyway. Reminds one of their Assembly.
Marching in support of?? The worst Supreme Court judgement in Nigeria’s judicial political history.
Marching in support of clear fraud and thievery!

Ihedioha Vs Uzodinma: Civil Society Leaders Urge Supreme Court To Reverse Judgment

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, FEB 11, 2020

Leaders of civil society in Nigeria have asked the Supreme Court to set aside its judgment pronouncing Hope Uzodinma as duly elected governor of Imo State...

The group posited that the court erred in its judgment and faulted the process through which the apex court arrived at the decision.
In the statement signed by Dr Olusegun Awe Obe, the Concerned Leaders of Thoughts and Conscience in Project Nigeria, highlighted reasons the court should not have pronounced Uzodinma as winner of the election...

The group further stated that the court failed to reckon with the argument of INEC that had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that no results were generated from those polling units as elections in those polling units were cancelled by presiding officers as a result of violence, over-voting, snatching of electoral materials etc.

I tried several times to attach the supreme court judgement of imp state for everyone to read in other to ascertain who is saying the truth . Nairaland couldn't allow me attach it cos is such a large file. But you can download it and read again so that you stop deceiving people here. Is public document that shows the progress of the case from tribunal to appeal and finally to supreme court.. After reading it , you will appreciate the judgement given by supreme court..

First pdp claimed the result from 388 units where false. Apc tender the result with the police tendering their duplicate copy. Pdp rejected the result cos the said is not certified copy from the maker if the result. . You will also see supreme court response to the position of result being certified or not. The surprising aspect was when Inec refused to tender the result from that unit as promised. That attitude alone was suspicious ....Also take your time to read what supreme court said about the importance of police dublicate copy of a result ....They said it serves as a control mechanism to check fraud or alteration . Uzodinma provided result that tallies with what the police tendered ..,ironically pdp and Inec who are partners in crime has nothing to provide. Neither Did they deny there was no elections in those units. I wish the files are short , I would 've pasted it for people to judge who is saying the truth.

With due respect, u r still lying sir and u know it.
Just so u know, the entire judgement was uploaded here and discussed on front page.

The thing with people like you is that u forget there are also other sources people get info from besides u. it’s like u live in isolation. U entirely forget there are people who make their living digging up and analyzing these things.

These are two newspaper articles. One is from today.

This is why i will continue to say that a good number of Nigerians don't understand how court processes and procedures are done. First you approach the court with your prayers....Apc uzodinma told the court to declare him winner of the imo election on the ground that his lawful votes from 313 units were excluded for no just cause. Pdp prayers was that the result present by uzodinma was forged and not from Inec. The supreme court looked at the facts by asking pdp to present the authentic result f those units since they claimed that from apc is forged . They could not present any result. The supreme court further asked Inec to look into the result presented by apc to confirm if is forged but Inec confirmed that they result is signed by their staff and the police presented their own copy which tallies with what Apc brought. The judge's having since that Pdp and Inec are partners in crime decided to add the excluded result to the rightful owner ..,,that was how apc became governor. You cannot benefit from your mischieve....This is elementary law. The court is not father Xmas that will give you what u didn't ask for. As far as I am concern nothing will come out of the review cos justice was properly served.

With due respect sir, u r lying.
I have already corrected u but u keep parroting the same thing. Something that is all over the newspapers.
I don’t know who u think u r fooling.
Only APC signed the Uzodinma documents. Not only that, a mere cursory examination of the documents would show that they are obviously fraudulent. Not only were they full of ridiculous figures that exceeded number of registered voters, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties!

Also, INEC swore, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that they never issued those documents.
”INEC had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that no results were generated from those polling units... that any result from those polling units presented by any of the candidates must be fake.”
Respect yourself sir. You ain’t fooling nobody

VirginSearcher:
Just look at u.. the judgement was sound.. so 4th position is the winner, and every voter in the 388 polling units only voted for APC right? may God help u

(Actually Hope did give PDP some votes (see newspaper articles below))

This Imo judgment is waaaayyy out of bounds. It is not even comparable to any of the other cases. It is entirely the only case where the Supreme Court actually aided and abetted fraud and rigging!

A mere cursory examination of the Uzodinma documents would have shown them that they are obviously fraudulent. Not only were they full of ridiculous figures that exceeded number of registered voters, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, signed only by APC, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties!

Those are the documents a Supreme Court relied on to overrule all lower courts PLUS INEC in order to replace an 8-month governor with a 4th place finisher!

Consider the precedent set here.
How hard is it to obtain INEC documents, write any results u wish, keep the carbon copies, and destroy the rest??
Or is it that it is so hard to obtain INEC documents??
The ONLY way to checkmate that is to accept INEC’s word, UNDER OATH, that they never issued those documents!
Which is exactly what they did about the Uzodinma documents!

All elections have errors and shenanigans. But that’s why the bar for removing an incumbent is high. After all the games and maneuverings the umpire declares a result. It is VERY IMPORTANT not to change that result unless the documentary proof is unassailable and the reasons crystal clear. INEC declared Ihedioha the winner and Hope 4th place. That’s the baseline. They were not equal - one was the incumbent, the other came FOURTH! You don’t lightly change that.

(Remember these numbers exclude votes scored by the other 68 Parties!):

• Ruling is miscarriage of justice, say lawyers
• How apex court failed in votes computation

...The Guardian obtained a certified-true-copy of the record of the appeal filed at the Supreme Court by Uzodinma and APC...

On figure number 69 which shows votes cast at Eziama/Okpala (Umualum Village Square, Eziama)
total number of registered voters =492, whereas the APC scored 819 votes
and PDP scored 7 votes,
meaning 334 more votes than registered voters!

On page 22 of the record, at the polling unit 285 (Obudi/Aro, Central Assembly Square),
registered voters = 449
APC polled 780 votes
PDP polled four votes, leaving a total of 335 votes higher than the actual number of registered voters.

Also on page 22 of the petition, polling unit 282
number of registered voters = 591,
APC polled 586 votes
PDP nine votes, indicating a total of four votes higher than the registered number of voters.

Figures from page 79 of the record of appeal show:
Registered voters = 526
APC got 526 votes, while PDP was credited with two votes, indicating two votes higher than the total number of registered voters in the area.”

Imo Guber: How Supreme court erred in computation of results

*Declared more votes than accredited voters
*Failed to interrogate petitioners’ evidence
*Avoided mentioning figures in a written judgment

Facts have emerged that the Supreme Court failed to do a thorough mathematical computation of the results of the election but relied only on the wrong computations submitted by Sen. Hope Uzodinma to declare him the duly-elected governor of Imo State...

Both the EPT and the Appeal Court dismissed the petition for lacking in merit.

By relying on the faulty tabulation made by Sen. Uzodinma, the Supreme Court arrived at a figure of 950,952 total votes cast at the election, which is more than the total votes cast at the election totalling 823,743.

This gave rise to 127,209 excess votes at the election as affirmed by the Supreme Court, which all through avoided mentioning figures regarding the votes cast for the disputants or the total registered voters and valid and invalid votes in the judgment.

sunnyprof:
THE PROBLEM IN IMO WAS INEC'S INEPTITUDE TO DO WHAT ITS RULE SAYS. YOU EITHER CANCEL THE PROCESS IN THE 388 WARDS OR DECLARE A RERUN THERE ....... IT CANNOT BE A VACUUM!!

AGIAN, HOW DID PDP STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY MEMBERS EMERGE IN THOSE PLACES IF THERE WAS NO ELECTION THERE?

I'M STILL SURPRISED THAT INEC AND PDP HAD NO COUNTER RESULT FOR THOSE AREAS TO COUNTER UZODINMA'S FAKE RESULT HE PRESENTED IN COURT........ THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A GAME THEY DONT WANT TO EXPOSE, IT MAY TRUMP UP OTHER HIDDEN ISSUES.

BEING FOURTH IS POSSIBLE IF HIS VOTES ARE RUBBED OFf, but when brought in back can become first. The first result where Ihedioha led may in that case not be the highest, the higher votes were kept away without a word of cancelling them either.

IMO and Zamfara had the same case but INEC did the needfull by declaring a rerun in those inconclusive wards ..... and APC NOW HAD HIGHER VOTES, THATS WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN IMO ........ IHEDIOHA MIGHT HAVE WON THE RERUN, SO WHY HIDING IT?

With due respect sir, u r not thinking properly.
By far, the Supreme Court is the villain here not INEC.

A mere cursory examination of the Uzodinma documents would have shown them as obviously fraudulent. Not only were they full of ridiculous figures that exceeded number of registered voters, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, signed only by APC, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties!

INEC is the legally constituted election referee.
The same INEC swore, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that they never issued the Uzodinma documents.
”INEC had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that no results were generated from those polling units... that any result from those polling units presented by any of the candidates must be fake.”

Summary of events in Imo:


PDP massively rigged the votes in Ihedioha's federal constituency, yet Ihedioha did not meet the constitutional requirement to be declared winner.

INEC erroneously pronounced Ihedioha elected.

Supreme Court judges pronounced judgement based on arguments from lawyers of all sides, and based on figures before them.

Ihedioha now turns around and says: oh, Uzodinma presented false votes.

So APC should have sued on basis of geographical spread and save us this EMBARRASSMENT of a judgment!

As for the votes, u r comparing apples and oranges. INEC is the legally constituted referee. INEC had no problems with Ihedioha votes (neither did APC for that matter!)

The same INEC swore, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that they never issued the Uzodinma documents.

“INEC had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that no results were generated from those polling units as elections in those polling units were cancelled by presiding officers as a result of violence, over voting, snatching of electoral materials etc.
INEC stated that any result from those polling units presented by any of the candidates must be fake.”

Seriously most of u guys have become senseless all because of hatred for pmb. The simply question asked which none of u has provided an answer to, is what stopped inec or PDP from providing the original copies of results since what Uzodinma brought to court was forged? Someone brought proof, counter it with evidence, u re making noise. Is noise making evidence

Stop being obtuse.
How hard is it to obtain INEC documents, write any results u wish, keep the carbon copies, and destroy the rest??
Or is it that it is so hard to obtain INEC documents??
The ONLY way to checkmate that is to accept INEC’s word, UNDER OATH, that they never issued those documents!
INEC swore, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that they never issued the Uzodinma documents!

“INEC had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that no results were generated from those polling units as elections in those polling units were cancelled by presiding officers as a result of violence, over voting, snatching of electoral materials etc.

INEC stated that any result from those polling units presented by any of the candidates must be fake.”

Not only that, a mere cursory examination of the documents would have shown them as obviously fraudulent. Not only were they full of ridiculous figures that exceeded number of registered voters, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, signed only by APC, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties!

Staro:
Thank you

I am just vehemently against that Imo judgment not necessarily that I am for PDP or Ihedioha.
I mean, how hard is it to write on INEC documents and trash the originals. Now, by this judgment, the SC must accept those your documents, unless INEC can produce those originals that u destroyed!!

FrankFrenzy:
Bros, there's no LGA in Imo state where the number of votes cast was higher than number of registered voters. I'm so sure you are referring to number of accredited voters being less than the number of votes cast, and if that's what you meant to say, I will quickly have to remind you that in all the 3 LGAs in Mbaise, Ihedioha alone recorded more votes than the number of accredited voters for those locations (exclusive of votes cast for other party candidates).
This votes were validated with the use of incident forms for those concerned in those polling booths as against card reader based accreditation.
Let's cut this guy some slack, Imo belongs to all of us and no one is more Imo than the others, what we need in Imo state is good governance, name of the person bringing it or his geographical location does not matter.

Stop saying what u don’t know.
The following are from two of the most reputable newspapers in Nigeria not some political hacks:

(Remember these numbers exclude votes scored by the other 68 Parties!):

• Ruling is miscarriage of justice, say lawyers
• How apex court failed in votes computation

...The Guardian obtained a certified-true-copy of the record of the appeal filed at the Supreme Court by Uzodinma and APC...

On figure number 69 which shows votes cast at Eziama/Okpala (Umualum Village Square, Eziama)
total number of registered voters =492, whereas the APC scored 819 votes
and PDP scored 7 votes,
meaning 334 more votes than registered voters!

On page 22 of the record, at the polling unit 285 (Obudi/Aro, Central Assembly Square),
registered voters = 449
APC polled 780 votes
PDP polled four votes, leaving a total of 335 votes higher than the actual number of registered voters.

Also on page 22 of the petition, polling unit 282
number of registered voters = 591,
APC polled 586 votes
PDP nine votes, indicating a total of four votes higher than the registered number of voters.

Figures from page 79 of the record of appeal show:
Registered voters = 526
APC got 526 votes, while PDP was credited with two votes, indicating two votes higher than the total number of registered voters in the area.”

Imo Guber: How Supreme court erred in computation of results

*Declared more votes than accredited voters
*Failed to interrogate petitioners’ evidence
*Avoided mentioning figures in a written judgment

Facts have emerged that the Supreme Court failed to do a thorough mathematical computation of the results of the election but relied only on the wrong computations submitted by Sen. Hope Uzodinma to declare him the duly-elected governor of Imo State...

Both the EPT and the Appeal Court dismissed the petition for lacking in merit.

By relying on the faulty tabulation made by Sen. Uzodinma, the Supreme Court arrived at a figure of 950,952 total votes cast at the election, which is more than the total votes cast at the election totalling 823,743.

This gave rise to 127,209 excess votes at the election as affirmed by the Supreme Court, which all through avoided mentioning figures regarding the votes cast for the disputants or the total registered voters and valid and invalid votes in the judgment.

Esseite:
After reading the article... I can authoritatively conclude that Hope Uzodinma has no single defence and only pleading with the supreme court to deny Ihedioha justice.

Exactly!
The guy should just resign instead of walking around not only knowing himself that he is a FRAUD but knowing that everybody knows he is a FRAUD!

He also wants the SC to aid and abett fraud that everyone knows is fraud!
This Imo state case is simply waayyyu out of bounds. It is simply not in the same league with any of these other cases.

Even the SC said nothing about meeting “the required constitutional geographical spread of votes”. Because they know the numbers make no sense - the Uzodinma man gave himself 2 times the registered number of voters in some places!!

slivertongue:
the SC was wrong on IMO, the lawlessness of APC led to the loss of zamfara and bayelsa. IMO is not in the category of the latter

Gbam!!
Oga media director of Uzodinma, who do u think u r fooling with all these lies??
So why doesn’t INEC release the final tally of votes? (Because they don’t want to be laughed at!)
Why is the SC so avoidant of mentioning numbers to the extent of not even mentioning the required geographical spread??

Also stop lying, the clearly fraudulent documents were signed ONLY BY APC! Not only that, they were full of ridiculous figures that exceeded number of registered voters, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties!
That is what the SC relied on to overrule all lower courts AND INEC in order to replace an 8-month gov with a FOURTH place finisher!

Oga media director,

INEC swore, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that they never issued the Uzodinma documents!

Not only that PDP just recently won a re-run in the same area Uzodinma awarded himself 99.9% of the votes and over 100% voter turnout!

Admittedly all elections have errors and shenanigans. But that’s why the bar for removing an incumbent is high. After all the games and maneuverings the umpire declares a result. It is VERY IMPORTANT not to change that result unless the documentary proof is unassailable and the reasons crystal clear. INEC declared Ihedioha the winner and Hope 4th place. That’s the baseline. They were not equal - one was the incumbent, the other came FOURTH! You don’t lightly change that.

FuckAllTheMODs:
Well, PDP just recently won a rerun in the same area Hope got 99.9% of votes with over 100% voter turnouts!!

But that’s not even the point. The issue is the SUPREME COURT and the precedent set.

Consider the precedent set here (which lawyers will cite forever):
How hard is it to obtain INEC documents, write any result u wish, keep the carbon copies, and destroy the rest??

A person who receives no single vote can easily be declared winner and immediately replace the incumbent. All they’d have to do is present result sheets which the Supreme Court MUST accept no matter how outrageous and defective they may be, as long as no one can produce the originals!

Using that precedent, a ruling party can easily “win” any election, effectively removing any say u may have in choosing who rules you.
And that is what u r busy defending!

As u said, all elections have errors and shenanigans. But that’s why the bar for removing an incumbent is high.

Now tell me the sense in this reply if yours.

When you know that it's illegal for an election result to be canceled by the person that canceled the result after all the agents of the parties have signed on the result.

Again, it's a rare occasion for you to get 100% turnout in am election.

I won't honor your level of reasoning with a response again.
I can see you lie alot, I don't do insults or related acts.

As u can see, u r way out of your League. You have to resort to repeating a post of mine.
Also u r misinformed - only APC signed the Uzodinma documents.
See another previous post of mine below. Note the bolded.

The two cases are very different.
Disqualifications, as in Bayelsa, are common in politics. In Imo nobody was disqualified, instead it is a case of the SC aiding and abetting clear fraud and rigging!

Also in Bayelsa SC upheld lower courts. Whereas in Imo they overruled all lower courts AND INEC to replace an 8-month gov with a FOURTH place finisher. All based on clearly fraudulent documents that were not only full of ridiculous figures that exceeded number of registered voters, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, signed only by APC, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties!
THE CASES ARE NOT EVEN COMPARABLE!!

voltron14:
So you ban the ones that are genuine to discourage those that aren't genuine?

By the way, how far with Canada?

From US perspective it makes no difference. They’d all end up permanently in US.

As for Canada, just a matter of time

voltron14:
If that is the case, why are tourist visas still available whilst the immigrant visas, which are more likely to be legit, more likely to be scrutinised being outlawed for Nigerians?

Because if u ban tourist visas you’d unfairly affect the small number that are actually tourists and also cost US some tourist dollars.
Capisce?

voltron14:
Read what you just wrote.

Do you even understand the visa policy?

Yes I do. Nigerians consistently convert tourist visas to immigrant visas by not returning home. That’s the point!

Rgade:
@ the italicized..... that's a big no; no always read b4 commenting especially if the comment would be controversial.

@ the bolded....not really sure, same way the Yoruba were mostly taken to Brazil.

Thanks.
Maybe Bob Marley is even Igbo without knowing it!

voltron14:
Hardly anything to do with that.

If that was the reason, resident visas wouldn't be the focus but tourist visas which are still quite available for those who wish not to return home.

Ahh but u just answered yourself without knowing it. They know most of those tourist visas are actually immigrant visas to Nigerians. That’s why they had to be banned from regular immigrant visas!

FuckAllTheMODs:
Just read what you typed, you didn't read but you jumped to conclusion.
I enlightened you because it is good to share wisdom and knowledge to those who lack it.

Na yourself you defeat not me.
Go back to that thread(s) and you will see you agreed with my point(s).

You even tried to shift goal post in one of those threads by saying you don't know much about the state's politics but your friend told you about it.

U know full well I always win with clear reasoning then u folks resort to insults.
Here is my last post. Let me see u argue it.

damibjs:
Plz are u the @saynotocultisism DAT started this thread?? Am getting confuse...
Did u change ur moniker to Canadaorbust

I plead the 5th

voltron14:
Because he has a thing against black people, especially those who show ability to excel.

He wishes for the status quo to remain or even reverse to when only the European Americans held sway and dictated to the rest of the population.

Sadly, the average Nigerian cannot see beyond APC/PDP.

U don’t think it just might have a little bit to do with their being number one in scams and #1 in not going home when they go on non-immigrant visa!
