PoliticsRe: Without Winning FCT, A President Cannot Be Legally Declared — Ozoani by COMPAQ(m): 3:21pm On Mar 02, 2023
basilo102:
Abuja is regarded as a state in the law but "and" is conjucive. Therefore 25% is compulsory in " Abuja state"
Exactly. I'm shocked how learned people are taking that 'AND' to mean must win Abuja!!

The 'AND' means must win 25% in 1/3rd of the 36 Sates and Abuja. Because Abuja is not strictly a state, the word 'And' was used to add it to that requirement. If it were a state, it would have been 25% in 1/3rd of the 37 states.

So a candidate would win 30 states, win 25% in all 36 states and FCT, but because he didnt WIN Abuja specifically, he wont be President!? How stupid would that be?

A rerun could happen 10 times and that could still be the same scenario. The guy might never win Abuja because the guy he's contesting against is from there.

APC won because they rigged the election.

Under normal circumstances, that is if APC and INEC did not rig the election. Peter Obi would have won in an almost landslide.
Atiku would have been 2nd and Tinubu a distant 3rd.

Check it, even with all the rigging, Obi still won lagos state.
I don't agree with this assessment. Many of Obi supporters are more youth and educated. But we tend to forget that the semi illiterate and full illiterate and those who vote on ethnic and religious sentiments still make up the majority of the voters.

Obi is not likely to have done much better than he did in the North as he had no presence there and no LP governor to push for him.

We need to realize that not all Nigerians are on social media. Social media is not a representative sample of the population. So all the overwhelming support for Obi on social media doesn't translate in northern states. It doesn't even translate in the hinterlands of SW states. Only Lagos which is by far the most online state with most of the youths.

And who is to say there was no rigging in the South East with LP winning above 90% in some SE states.

I think the result generally reflected the direction of the votes. The tragedy of this election is really that it's still being determined by the"masses" who really don't know why or what they are voting for, except for ethnic and religious lines.

My only regret is that LP did not field a heavy weight politician for the governorship election.

I never heard of that Rhodes Vivour until now.

Can you imagine if Otedola came out for Labour!?.

Lagos is ripe for a complete take over now.
Or Funso Doherty! Of the clips I watched of the debate, he was by far the smartest sounding.

PoliticsRe: Votes Spread: Tinubu, Atiku Neck And Neck As Obi Trails by COMPAQ(m): 9:28am On Feb 27, 2023
kponkedenge:
Vote spread indeed. After inflating Tinubu's poor outing and decreasing Peter Obi's figures.

INEC needs to explain how Tinubu who was soundly rejected and defeated by Atiku in his original home Osun State and defeated in his adopted home by Peter Obi, in Lagos...was able to win some LGA's in Akwa Ibom and Rivers.

They say charity begins at home..... If you can't convince your own people to vote for you, then that means you never won anywhere outside your home.
What exactly are you saying? If Atiku was able to win Osun, why couldn’t Tinubu win some LG in Rivers and AI?
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Presidential Election Results 2023: INEC Official Announcement by COMPAQ(m): 9:29pm On Feb 26, 2023
Treadway:
he will get 25% in Oyo for sure. Ogun not so sure.
Not likely. Much as I hate to say it, it looks like BAT will be our next President.
Obi is not likely to get 25% in sufficient states based on what I’ve seen so far. And his performance will be worst in the north where I don’t see him getting 25% in any core northern state. Even in SW, Obi may not get 25% in more than 2 states. Maybe only Lagos and Ogun.

Meanwhile, Tinubu will win most states in SW, some in the north and will likely get 25% in other states in the north that he doesn’t win due to influence of Buhari and other northern APC governors. Tinubu will also likely get 25% in some SS states.

If the winner of the popular vote doesn’t get 25% in sufficient states (which I think is unlikely, but a possibility), the run off will likely be between Tinubu and Atiku, as I don’t see Obis total number of votes being the second highest.

[quote author=Kobonaire4 post=121270712]Keep abusing the illiterates.

You are making the same mistakes that the Democrats in the USA made in 2016, that allowed Trump to win.

Democracy is about convincing people about the merits of your cause. Many of you city guys don't go out and do that.[/quote

He’s right actually. The literacy level plays a huge part in the elections in Nigeria. Do you notice that in areas where you have more literate people like the cities and townships, the choices made by the electorate are more sensible. That’s why you see Obi winning in Lekki, ikoyi etc.But once you go into the hinterland and villages, or illiterate parts of cities like shock, you find that the voting pattern is much more tribal.

Unfortunately this election has assumed a tribal nature. Atiku or Kankwaso in the North, Tinubu in the West and Obi in the east. Tinubu will pick some stares in the north due to some APC state governors and ditto Atiku in the west in Osun. Obi on the other hand may not pick any state in the north or West at all.

I hope you know only about 50% of Nigeria's production belongs to the government. The other half goes to JV partners.

So it should be 1,600,000*800*80*.5=N54,400,000,000.00

https://dailytrust.com/nnpcl-confirms-rise-of-oil-production-to-1-6m-bpd/
I hope this increase is real and not audio production? Cos different parts of govt give different figures. Don't be surprised by tomorrow NUPRC or NEITI will come and say Nigeria's production is 1.2mbpd.

However, to maximize the benefit of the Dangote refinery, we should be producing 2.5mbpd. So that the 600kbpd refined by Dangote and additional 100kbpd by PH refinery and modular refineries, which do not count to OPEC quota, will allow us export the 1.8mbpd OPEC quota and we earn the full value of our quota in USD.

I like Mikel too but I remember that year. I was nt surprise that Toure won it.

Where do you compare Mikel to Yaya Toure, Freekick, attack, defence, assist?

Yaya Toure could play as no. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10!

Please there was no basis for comparison.

There has always been politics in African football, but Yaya deserved it.

I was really disappointed in the Issa Hayatou CAF administration, dude was corruption personified and made sure Francophone speaking players goes home with the awards.

Eto'O
Drogba,
Yaya Toure
Adebayor

And a certain Kanouté


2013, a blistering season for Mikel, but he was robbed by CAF.
Mikel is not serious. He was not robbed of anything. How did he expect to win, a player who scores no goals, compared to Yaya Toure that was almost City's top scorer that season. That was the season where almost every time Yaya steps up to take a free kick, na goal.

No doubt Mikel was superb that season, but Yaya was also immense that period. The clincher was that Yaya was scoring for fun. Bottom line, football is about scoring goals.

And are you really about to argue with Eto and Drogba being the best at the peak of their powers?

Anyway Nigeria can win this year if Osimhen keeps scoring and Napoli wins the Scudetto!

I am looking at investing in hospitality business but I’m not sure if 60Million naira will be adequate to erect a 20 room hotel and event hall with a capacity of about 500 people max.

Cause of the paucity of funds, I’m looking to make it a single story building such that hotel will be on the ground floor while the top floor will hold the event hall.

Engineers in the house do you think this amount will be enough to achieve this? Pls let’s have your expert opinion on this. Thanks in advance.

ZombieSlayer1:
True, but my point is that if they can refine the crude, why isn't Nigeria doing same? We spend billions every day on maintenance of refineries with nothing to show for it
If you are looking at it from a business point of view, if petrol is subsidised at N165, while production cost is N400, then surely you don't expect the refineries to survive.

From a social point of view, even if you want to say we accept the subsidy, Nigerian government has a horrible track record of running any business. I make bold to say there is NO SINGLE business run properly by FG. I challenge you to give me one that has been run effectively for 10years straight.

Those are reasons why we cannot refine crude.

I bought fuel at 420 2days ago in Owerri and I bought at 450 this morning in Port Harcourt

And considering that Nigeria is an oil producing country, are we supposed to be buying fuel at such high cost?
Oil producing doesn't make much of a difference if you take away subsidy. There is a cost to finding oil, developing, producing and refining it. If you are an oil producing country the only benefit is you avoid shipping costs.

But funny enough, because of high cost of production here, it could be cheaper to buy crude from Russia right now, compared to refining locally produced crude.

There is nothing fantastic about cashless economy that we are not ready for. How are these same people ready to use GSM, but not ready for cashless. Its just a state of mind. In time, they will get used to it. Yes it can be hacked, but let's not over glorify that. If you take the necessary precautions, then you are relatively safe.
