Gabbriell:
I mean Kogi central candidate (Ododo) has more population compared to the candidate from West central (Dino).

I am talking about the voting strength of the zone based on the number of people their representatives (Ododo and Dino) can pull.

So my comment is on the ethnicity of Western, Eastern and Central candidates (Dino, Muri, Ododo).


Majority of votes in East will go to Muri

Majority of votes in central will go to Ododo

As for West, Dino can only get majority of votes from Okun people. Places like lokoja and others will be shared with Igala having upper hand followed by Ododo. This is what I mean.

If majority of votes in the East goes to Muri and he still shares from the West, I don't see how Ododo will come close to winning.

Of course. It's only in Nigeria manufacturers will increase their prices and at the same time, reduce the quality and quantity of the product, and standard organization will look away. Only in Nigeria.

Warri is somewhat like the capital city of Delta state. Asaba is just a figurehead.

Gabbriell:
Which payback?

It seems you don't understand the ethnic divide on ground.

All the votes are going to be scattered along ethnic lines. This gives Bello candidate the most advantage because he will also be hoping to cancel out most Eastern votes through election violence.

As for the west, population is not on their side compared to the East and Central. Bello has also planted other party there to take parts of Dino's votes.

Kogi west has more voting strength than central o.

Bloody nose!

Hope you know it only takes majority votes and 25% win in 2/3 in the LGA election takes place for a winner to be declared.

If this particular LGA is a stronghold of an opposition candidate...it's a blow for that candidate

The APC candidate can't win in a free and fair election in Kogi state.

Coolsat:
Ikwere people in Rivers state rule the most but not the majority. Just be patient you'll understand better in no distant time.

Hope the LP candidate and sdp candidate are slugging it out well in kogi east and Kogi west respectively. You all will learn the hard way

Please spare me that crap.
The APC candidate is a goner without rigging.

Coolsat:
Nothing like prefilled results sheet, if you understand what's going on politically in kogi state you'll know Ododo of APC is favoured to win this election.

Ododo has no single rival from his region(Kogi central) while others have two to three rivals slugging it out in their region.

The region with the least voting strength? Dey play.

adioolayi:
The funny thing is, if you don't accredit and vote...it means election no take place.

Few places where elections took place will be counted and winner declared.

APC strategy is to weaken their opposition strongholds.. frustrating them not to vote

You understand the format. The same thing happened last election there.
Disenfranchise as many voters in the opposition strongholds as possible, while you get almost 100% turnouts in yours.
I think we need to do something about this stuff. A winner must not be declared if election didn't hold, even in a single unit, because result sheets are not available.
God knows I hate Bello and everything he represents.

Bello have started the format he used four years ago.
If nowhere else, Tinubu should allow fairness to all parties in Kogi state. APC must not win that state by any means. People in that state need to breathe abeg.

There has never been a person of another tribe attacked in Igboland since the world began. If you plan to hold an event to stage an attack on reno, we will all be watching.

An INEC chairman should not be having this kind of conversation to start with.

Whynotthetruth:
He didn't fail O'level like you failed common sense...


NASS won't spend extravagantly if they knew Executive isn't buying such madness...

Tinubu is buying Yacht and NASS is looking for 160M SUV but you aren't bordered because you've no brain to understand that they're mortgaging a future you don't seem to have

Sense is far from you. I pity you if your own future is at the mercies of Abuja politicians. Sorry, I decide my own destiny.
So in your stupidity, you think the President decides how the NASS spends their own budgetary allocations?
He even said "if the President is not buying the idea".
No be when the NASS sell the idea to you?
Obi still thinks it's the state settings where he can decide not to hold local government election for 8 years.

searchlight:
Who make their budget? If it is not on their budgetry allocation they might add it the next year as long as no one influences their budget.

The truth is that the executive can't control their spending because executive are wasteful as well.

Imagine president official care is Toyota Highlander, and the ministers are using Toyota spider, how dare the executive demand for Prados?

The truth is that in the ZOO no one cares about the low life animals. All they are there for is to wreck the remaining part of the ZOO.

I don't have problems with you calling Nigeria a Zoo o. If you are in the country, that makes you an animal too.
What I am against is the lie by Obi that the NASS won't buy the vehicles under his watch. That's wishful thinking and an evidence he doesn't know how things work up there.
If the President decides to be using Toyota Hilux, nothing stops the NASS from using Bugatti, if it's within their budget for the year.
I've always been of the opinion that allocations to the three arms of government in any given year should by law be pegged to a small percentage of our recurrent expenditures and the annual take home of any politician, including the President, shouldn't be more than 100 times the minimum wage.
Unless we legalize the amount beyond which they can't spend, every other thing is nonsense.
They prepare their own budget and the President has no power over how they choose to spend it. They are not under any obligations to emulate the President frugal lifestyle either.

searchlight:
You really don't have Sense. So if law makers signed to have one private jet each in order to discharge their work deligently, Mr president will ascent to that? I am asking for a friend who is supporting the ZOO government

Head dey pain you.
The law makers are free to buy private jet as a gift for themselves if it's within their budgetary allocations.
Or you want to tell me it's Tinubu that dictate how the law makers will spend their budget?
I'll take you seriously when you're ready to prove to me beyond reasonable doubts that the law makers took any permission from the President before ordering the vehicles.

micodon:
Insulting people when you don't know jack. Whatever the legislative does, the president has to sign for it to become law

Does the legislative arm of government have it own budget? Yes or no?
If your answer is yes, is it the President that dictate how they choose to spend their budgetary allocations?
There you have your answer.
And no, the President doesn't approve national budget. The final approval comes from the legislative. You're free to prove me wrong with your facts.

jmoore:
No, it is Osama Bin Laden that approved the budget.

You see the consequences of going to pluck mango in the bush while government classes were going on?
So the President approves legislative arms budget?
If you can provide a link where I can read more on how the executive approves (as against propose) any budget of any kind, I'd be happy to learn. Thanks.

MyMouth:
Igbira people! Smh
No be una fault, na Audu way die cause am

I'm Yoruba and I'm not even from Kogi state.
I've seen most state's voter register and I can confidently tell you that that of Kogi East is fraud to be honest.

jmoore:
You that passed government, why did Tinubu approve it? Is Tinubu a lawmaker?

Is Tinubu the one approving budget now?

KOGI ELECTION IN FOCUS....
BVAS mean business.

Summary of Registered Voters in Kogi State as released by INEC

A *Kogi Central* 474,554

B *Kogi East* 952,369

C. *Kogi West* 505,731

*Grand Total* 1,932,654

Most of the almost 1 million voters in Kogi East are ghosts.
In a free and fair election, they can't actually have 50% turn out. What the core northerners did to inflate their number on the register nationally, is exactly what the Igalas did in Kogi. They're no more than 700k actual eligible voters at most. The only figure closer to reality is the one from the West.

Peter, the last time I checked, there's separation of power in the federal system of government, abi you failed O'level government too?

Skyview01:
If Obi wins, PDAPC will become PDAPCLP.

LPDAPC rather.

It's practically impossible. There are too many hotels in Owerri alone. Unless the government deliberately wants to go broke, they can't possibly book "all" the hotels in Imo.

Indelibleage:
God bless the reader to the end.

There are tithes and there are offerings commanded by God in the scriptures to be given or paid into the sanctuary. Since the questionnaire asked about tithe, let me say this:

How much is what they called tithe? Tenth part! Supposing one earns a thousand naira a day, the tenth part is a paltry sum of an hundred naira while the remaining nine hundred naira belongs to the tither. If the person worked for let's say 22 days in a month exclusive of Saturday and Sunday, his total take home for those number of days would be 24, 000 naira. Guess what, the amount he's to give is just 2,400 naira.

What then is the tithe given used for? Some pastors and founders of churches are not working (originally they shouldn't work). Since they are consecrating everything they should have given to a secular work into the work of God, one wouldn't expect God to come down and bring currencies of the nation where the church is resident to the pastor to take care of his needs. Remember people (congregants) had been asked to bring their tithes to the sanctuary. The pastor of that sanctuary is the representative of God (mind you, not His assistant or deputy), He has mandated him to collect it on His behalf. Out of it, the pastor will take care of the sanctuary if the cares are minor. Those assisting the pastor in one area for effective delivery of God's mind to the congregants also would need be taken care of. This includes transportation, calls, repairs, fuelling of generating sets and many others. The pastor too is a human that has a family and children. Out of the tithes collected, he's to eat since he's not engaged by any other.

From the account of Hebrews 7:4, 5 (Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham), we can see the narrative.

On the question whether the pastor is to pay tithes and his family, hear this. None is exempted from paying tithe to God. Why? As citizens of this country, we're all expected to pay tax even if you're the president (although some do defraud the nation). If Levi who was asked to collect tithes later on also paid tithe why won't the present day and his family pay it? Supposing the said pastor is engaged with other secular activities and he earns a living with it and the pastoral work is just on a part time basis, he too would pay tithe. His family members are to pay too.

Conclusively, if we look at what God requires in tithes giving, we will discover that the amount is too insignificant to defray from. God just want to see how grateful we are to all He does for us daily. How much do we pay for being alive to Him? How about the freedom we have, victories and many other things God is giving us daily? The air we breathe in and out daily, if I'm correct, to get oxygen in the hospital today, one will pay about 35k per day or so. This was freely given.

So, if we pay tithes, we get more blessings and enjoy more of God. If we don't pay, we enjoy but the day it will count or be required from us, it will be too heavy to pay o. Let's pay so that those whose survival is linked to it would also have a reason to thank God.

God bless everyone that read this and a happy Sunday.

Refrain from lying please.
Even Apostles of Christ have their own professions apart from being Ministers of God.
I believe you've read it that Paul made it clear to a church that he's a tent maker?

I laff at the developers' region's IGR..

oops....they are busy developing other regions

Ogun: N120.6bn is 6.06bn more than the combined IGR of the whole South East of 114.54bn (1. Anambra: N33.97bn; 2. Enugu: N28.69bn; 3. Abia: N20.11bn; 4. Imo: N19.34bn; 5. Ebonyi: N12.43bn).


Developers...How market


Oya REMOVE Lagos:

SW without Lagos: 257.1bn > SE 114.54bn







Oya Multiply SE IGR by 2 = 114.54 * 2 = 229.08bn

SW without Lagos: 257.1bn is 28.02bn more than Twice of SE IGR 114.54bn * 2 = 229.08bn




OYA remove Lagos and Ogun State:

SW without Lagos & Ogun State: 136.5bn is 21.96bn more than SE 114.54bn

You too like vawulence.

Opposition cases will eventually be dismissed.

Magnoliaa:
In all honesty, you don't believe the past presidents knew what to do and wickedly or ignorantly decided not to do so? 😂😂

I believe everyone has a good intentions but later realized governance is not 2+2 when they finally got a shot.
Fighting insecurity to improve food production might sound good on twitter, but is it that as easy as ABC and Tinubu has not pronounced insecurity as gone the same way he did subsidy?
You actually think he loves to see people dead and suffer?
For God's sake, Peter Obi was a governor in Anambra state and we all know the state should have been Nigerian Dubai if wishes were horses and he had all the power to make everything happen.
Position of leadership seems easy only to those who haven't held any of such before.

obiekunie01:
oga!

peter obi's plan to tackle insecurity will be effective within 5 months!

the legalization of state and local govt police in addition to federal police and very active civil defence combined with no nonesence action from federal government will end insecurity, kidnapping, armed robbery and many criminal vices within a space of 5 months!

The President unilaterally legalizing local government and state policing? Seriously?
And you honestly think the past Presidents knows the right thing to do but wickedly decided to do the opposite?
I want to believe you're talking from a point of ignorance.

TheOldGods:
Nobody is talking about the big Elephant in the room, which is lack of electricity. This week I've spent 58,000 naira on fuel for my generator for work, that is full tank for alot of cars every week, and the car owners are complaining, what about us that need Electricity to work. I barely get 6 hours of electricity, I tried buying solar, but the conditions are too much, turn off this, turn this on, don't use this bulb. Mehn, plus I can't turn on AC while working. Since my work is from home I decided to buy a laptop worth 1million here on Nairaland (thanks to Nairaland )just to ease my work, atleat I get 4 hours of break in severe heated room with my laptop.

How else can someone survive in this country with this low electricity, is there any state that is better? Or is it a must I have to travel to another African country just to get simple electricity to work. My generator just went off and my fuel gone, that why I came here to rant. I'm going to buy feul at 615 naira per litre

Cc;

Mynd44

You don't want to use solar because of conditions, but can spend 160k on fuel? You sure say you get sense like this?
I acquired a solar unit of less than 800k in February (dedicated solely for work. Connected only to my work Space), and I've never started my generator since then. The last fuel I bought for my generator is still almost 10 litres left.

This country is just messed up.
Nobody sees the little ways they're contributing to the rot, but quick to point fingers at the politicians.
What do we call this one now? I mean, The President of the NFF, making an official payment in a foreign currency to another Nigerian in this same country! And we're talking about how the value of Naira is falling?

Diplomas are legal and official documents everywhere in the world, forged diplomas however are not legal nor official anywhere in the world.

Certificates are never official documents anywhere in the world. Even in Nigeria, you can't get a reasonable job just by showing them your certificate. They'll still have to go confirm you actually attended and graduated from the school. I only gave my employer my matriculation number. They never asked for my certificate. I've not even seen the shit in two years.
Have you even seen any university that accepts your certificate as a requirement for post-graduate studies, even in Nigeria?
Your undergraduate university will have to mail them your transcripts instead. Nobody cares the grade written on that pieces of paper you carry about as certificate without seeing your transcripts.
But do I expect people blinded by hate to know this? Definitely no.
