if the number of registered voters in pulling units where elections are cancelled are more than the number which PDP use to win, which is likely, then a rerun is inevitable

Re-run can only come into the picture if there were polling units where election didn't hold at all,or their results cancelled.
I haven't heard of any so far

seanfer:


No Party yet.. There will be a re-run between APC and PDP

There won't be any re-run. Both parties have 25% of the vote in 20 local governments. The party with the highest vote, no matter how slim, wins this.

Meritocracy:
If we are talking about nysc for graduates to disqualify them, what about ssce failure serving senator who never graduate and want to occupy the same position. I think as far he get minimum qualification specify in the constitution he's good to go. Meanwhile that part of the duty of Saraki and Dogora who are been paid with tax payers millions every month but couldn't screen nominee effectively and want to rule the nation, legislatures are just there doing nothing.

The NYSC Act is in the Constitution.
So, for any graduate, its provisions are a must.

Undisputably, Peter Obi.
Followed by Obiano, though he can be confused at times.

its enough time for personal development, exploration and to build my business...would be expanding my consulting services by end of this month

You're already a graduate with your HND.You can run as long as you like, but you can't get out of this. Like it or not, you must fulfill the requirements of the law or end up like Kemi should you find yourself in any public office.

slyfoxxjoe:
oga you're the one with poor logic. I have cousin's born and raised in UK who do not want to hear anyone refer to them as Nigerian. And they are not Nigerian. They are technically British with Nigerian heritage. Learn the difference. 90% of people in the US can trace their heritage to another country..that does not make them Citizens of that country..they are AMERICAN citizens. They may be eligible for citizenship in some of these counties if they had a parent, grand parent or in some cases, great grand parent born in that country but they actively have to want it, and apply for it just like Kemi had to apply for her Nigerian citizenship. It is not bestowed on you by force..are you guys really this thick in this forum?

Does this your.......doodle make sense even to you?.
No use wasting time on such a basket as you

Daboomb:


I understand that you are tempted, that is a sign of foolishness because as an Idiot, you are not even sure what it means to be an idiot.
Tell me, is Kemi a British citizen by Birth (she was borm in the Uk an dlived all her life, schooling up to University level, till the age of thirty five (35) in Britain?

Between her being British Citizen and being a Nigerian citizen by "parentage", which one superceds which?
Some of you are just educated illiterates that run around quoting a constitution you cant ven interprete.
STFU and stop jumping into conversations beyond your level of thinking.

Not only are you an idiot, but you define stupid.
Kemi is a British citizen by soil of birth and Nigerian citizen by right of blood.None supercede the other, hence both countries constitution/citizenship law recognizes dual/multiple citizenship.
She is a citizen of both countries and is subject to their laws and privileges.She can't enjoy Nigeria's privilege without being subject to its laws. That is basic knowledge.
I wonder why I waste valuable time trying to educate a nodcock such as you.

slyfoxxjoe:
lol I dont think you understand what you posted bro.. you are not a citizen until you claim citizenship. How can you say a person born and raised in UK is automatically a Nigerian citizen because his parents are from Nigeria? Is it by force? Ok What if the person doesn't want? Will you force Nigerian passport on them? Having parents from Nigeria only means you have a right to claim Nigerian citizenship if you want and the process will be faster for you. But going through that process is still a form of Naturalization. Kemi did not claim a Nigerian passport until she was 34! that is more than old enough to make he a Naturalized citizen of Nigeria mahn. She even needed a VISA to enter on her previous trips to Nigeria..why would a citizen need a visa? Lol..abeg think again mahn.

A prime example of Nigerian illogical logic.
You do not get to claim what's already yours by right. You only enforce it perchance that right is questioned or threatened.
Saraki was born and educated in the UK. I've not heard it said he first had to 'claim' his Nigerian citizenship.
Citizenship by birth,like human right, is inalienable either by right of blood or by that of soil.

Daboomb:





You people should just STFU! Bad-belle people

The Manager of visionScape is British and he is employed in Nigeria by the Lagos State governmrnt ....... Show me his NYSC Certificate?

Kemi Adeosun is a British Citizen, she never stepped foot into Nigeria until she was 34yrs, she never schooled in Nigeria as well.

If you say it is because she has nigerian 'roots' then that is not in the law of NYSC,

She does not need an NYSC cert to be a Finance Minister, just like the M.D/CEO of VisionScape.
That she is above age, that she is a 'foreigner', that she never stepped foot or worked in Nigeria before her NYSC-over-age, all points in one direction - She does not need the cert nor fall into the category of those who does.

Even that she approached NYSC staff and they gave her a "Certificate" whicj turned out to fake, IS NOT HER FAULT.
That she presented what she was given by NYSC staff and it went through screening by so many Govt agency, including the NASS and the DSS, is not her problem.

Take it from me, she was just "acting her Britishness" by resigning honorably, as they do in britain whenever your name is mentioned in connection to anything scandalous (We all know the typical nigerian will not resign and we have had and still have many of them, including currently sitting Senators, Presidential aspirants, Governors, e.t.c).
All these noise about jail term will fall flat on their face because these laws does not apply to her. She is Britico.
At best, see her as an expatruate, exployed by Nigerian Govt, on the same level as the CEO of VisionScape.


NB: This post is not personally directed at you, l just used your post as 'reference' to all and similarly silly post of same vein.

I'm tempted to call you an idiot, but.....
Section 25 of the Nigerian Constitution clearly states that if one of your grandparents or one of your parents is a Nigerian when you were born, then you're a Nigerian by birth.
So, even if you were born in Lebanon or Afghanistan, so far as you have a parent who was a Nigerian when you were born, the requirements of Nigerian laws shackle you.
How the hell do you think all these Fulani and Hausas from Niger easily identify as Nigerians?. It's cause your constitution's native community clause (Section 25 (1)a) made it so
Kemi's parents were both Nigerian when she was born.

PDP reps at loggerheads with APGA governor in Anambra, over party tickets. This is all APC has? Odiegwu

The Nation....... APC ragsheet

wirinet:


But Peter Obi was chief Executive of a state for 8 solid years, so why was he unable to implement all those ideas he is pontificating now. What stopped him from saving his own share of allocations when Okonjo Iweala suggested it? Did he need Okonjo Iweala, before he can save his own share of the allocations.

Theory is sweet in the mouth, practicals is the difficult part.

You should shut up when you know nada about a person.
Who do you think set Anambra state on the path of prosperity, if not Peter Obi?
During the worst of the recession, while your governors were borrowing and paying half salaries or none at all, Anambra was not all cos of the solid foundation Obi laid via savings and investments.
That's something nobody in the current administration, whether at state or federal level can deny him.

fiizznation:
What are you saying young man? The man is 100% guilty. Why do you think he doesn't want to leave the NA and wants to be the senator representing his constituency all his life? The immunity he enjoys is the only thing that has stopped EFCC from apprehending the criminal. I'm telling you this because is the truth. Anytime he leaves the NA, I bet you, he will be arrested within 30 minutes.

There is no immunity for any legislator, anywhere in Nigeria.
You zombies like throwing up baseless accusations,hoping that one would stick.If you, your party or your government in power has any evidence of wrongdoing against Ekweremadu, take him to court asap.You took Saraki to court,after all, and he wiped the floor with y'all.
Take Ekweremadu to court, or just shut up.
BTW, he has not always been a legislator. He started his political career as a Local Government Chairman, served as SSG before becoming a Senator.But then, facts are a difficult thing for zombies like you. You live in a world of lies and alternative facts, after all

Mosesm:


Thanks for the clarity. So a minimum of 73csenators are required to be present to impeach him. 2/3 of 73 is 49 senators. Crookola is a go.

2/3 of 109,which is 73.
Not 2/3 of 73

Ikpewe:
WHAT ABOUT OTHERS THAT WERE NOT THERE.

Even if they were there,wouldn't have matterred.
57 is absolute majority out of 109,what's left being 52.
To impeach,you would need a minimum of 73.
Not all senators need be there,if they had up to that 73.

Ikpewe:
HOW MANY SENETORS VOTED FOR SARAKI TO BECOME THE SP

57 Senators elected Saraki,an absolute majority of members of the house

frowland:


That is not possible, the law did not emphatically say 73... It says 2/3rd of the members.
To form a quorum in the house you need 1/3rd of the senate. To impeach a senate president you will need 2/3rd of the members.. not 73.
What is your definition of members? Are you also adding those that are yet to be sworn in as also members? even the dead as also members?

Ere you keep confusing yourself, read Section 48 of the Constitution to know what constitutes membership of the Senate.

Butterflyleo:


Let me show you your stupidity using images since English is your bane.

Find the attached which is the entire power generation available based on generating stations.

The chart does not include Kaduna and Azura which are 215 and 459 mw respectively.


Let me see just how smart you are .

You keep showing at every turn how hopeless your case is.
From your posting, total INSTALLED capacity equals 5046mw,not actual generation. No power plant in Nigeria generates 100% of installed capacity,this is common knowledge.
Now,assuming without conceding, all are at 100% generation capacity,5,046 + 914 - 215 - 459 =7,000?
Only in Zombie world

Butterflyleo:


Working hard for your LMC pay by the end of the month I see.

How is it that anything written in real pure English your hatred would never allow you see it nor first pause to understand it before typing in confusion as you ipobians so enjoy doing?

Kaduna power plant has been in existence since 2017 with an output of 215mw already installed.

The two turbines are not a part of the already installed and tested 215mw.

How did they know it was 215mw since 2017 if they are just testing 2 turbines now in August 2018?

When I call you people dummies you will say you are being insulted.

Anyway sha by their levels of understanding and comments we shall know them

Not only are you dense,but intentionally obtuse.
Kaduna has been in existence since 2017.That's last year,in case your faculties can't think that far.
It has yet to produce anything.
In the words of your zombie chief "....while Kaduna is bringing 215mw,2 turbines are already being tested."
Calling you an idiot is an insult to idiots out their.Your IQ being much lower than their own.

Butterflyleo:


Are you this foolish?

He mentioned the figures for AFAM, AZURA AND KADUNA but did not mention that of the two turbines.

BEDC showed that the generation is actually not 4000m but 4040.74 mw.

The intelligent question you should be asking is what power output is expected from the 2 turbines being tested now?

I wonder how any of you passed exams when obvious things are so easily missed by you

So this idiot didn't know the two turbines were the Kaduna 215mw project?.Apologies to the real idiots out there.
It's there,as plain as the wart on your face, in Bashir's tweet.
Who do you this thing,biko?.Abi na generational curse?.
Howbeit something written in plain language a primary school student would understand becomes such a chore for you?.

Let me break it down for you in such simple terms,hopefully something will sink in in that dense mind of yours.
Expected from Azura is 459mw,from the two turbines of Kaduna being tested 215mw,Afam 240mw.
459 + 215 + 240 = 914mw,which is why he said 'roughly 1,000mw'.Although, his approximation is wrong,as all things zombieish,but even allowing him the 1,000mw instead of 900mw,ow does 1,000mw added to 4,000mw equate 7,000mw?

Butterflyleo:


You are too dumb to understand projections.

In theory it has moved to 7000mw but not yet in reality.

The turbines and other sub stations he mentioned are already active.

Are their own power generations meant to be sent to mars? They are meant to be added to the national grid so he is totally right when he said power generation has moved from 4000mw to 7000mw because the additions are ready to enable that move.

I doubt you even know what English is not to even consider you scored F9 in it

The new stations and turbines are expected to add 1,000mw to the grid whenever it is they come online.So,4,000 + 1,000 = 7,000 in zombie world.
Not only are you comprehension-challenged,simple arithmetic is way beyond you guys.
Chai!

Butterflyleo:
Those twitter users and others who have typed above me all scored F9 In English.

He used words like expected to add , is bringing, there are two turbines READY TO GO,

He now ended by saying IF WE ADD THESE THREE......

He is talking about what the additions would yield and not that it was already at 7000.

The BEDC simply confirms his first position of 4000mw.

Make una go school all of una go dey disgrace una self everywhere.

"Power generation has moved from 4,000mw to 7,000mw"
You see why we keep imploring you stay in school and learn something?. At least,basic comprehension.
You really define dense,I swear.

Tolexander:
I love the lecturer's concept of teaching. Give a little demonstration, not just talking and dishing out materials

Exactly
And he was teaching them culture shock and gender issues

Butterflyleo:
I have always maintained that a simple majority of 55 senators and above can get the job of impeachment done and saraki removed.

This man just spoke my entire mind on this impeachment saga

Egads!
Did you even read his article,as flawed as it is?.
Since you have comprehension problems, let me sum it up for you.The writer,in his opinion, believes a majority of 55 senators can reconvene the house,without Saraki's say so,in order to approve INEC budget.He stated clearly,several times,that 73 are needed to impeach Saraki.
Comprende?
Now,get back in class and stay there.

BTW,for you guys calculating which party is majority and which is minority,take Joshua Dariye out of the equation.Legally,he's no longer a Senator. The Constitution and laws of Nigeria bars a convict from holding public office.
It's now left to the Senate leadership to declare his seat vacant,soon as they resume and get round to it.

Butterflyleo:


I should be asking you what the word MAJORITY inserted there while deliberately omitting ALL and ENTIRE means to you?

You really should get off nairaland for a while,enrol in and put in that effort in a night school.
Your lack of basic comprehension cum reasoning,not to talk fail in simple mathematics, is to say the least very appalling.
The clause is 2/3 majority of members of that house.The word majority doesn't stand alone,any JSS student would have told you that.
Now back to my question,what makes the 'members of that house' as pertain to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?.
In fact,giving you more rope to hang yourself, in giving your answer to above question,quote Section 48 of the CFRN,1999 as amended.

Butterflyleo:


This is why you will keep scoring F9 in English.

I keep telling you legal language is not to be given English interpretation.

If it were so it would have been given added words like ALL or WHOLE or ENTIRE or ENTIRETY.

However it stops as simply saying votes of 2/3 MAJORITY of the members of that house.

If it was a simple English sentence we would not be here talking about it and we would not need the courts to interpret it would we?

Stop sniffing that thing you are sniffing so early in the morning its clearly bad for your brain

One simple question,let's see if you can comprehend and answer correctly.
What makes up membership of the Senate?.
Asked differently,what is the composition of the Senate?.

U are not getting me! An indigene from SW is also among the winners.

PaChukwudi44:

exactly what I tried to explain to him.2/3 majority is not same as 2/3 of the majority.The dude is simply beyond redemption

I wonder what they're taught in school these days.
Even grasp of basic comprehension eludes him.
Not that I'm surprised,the jellyfish has existed millions of years without a brain.So,a son of man or two may fall through the cracks too.

Butterflyle0:


Stop being deliberately ignorant.

The constitution says 2/3 MAJORITY of the members of that house.

NOTE THE USE OF THE WORD MAJORITY

It did not say 2/3 of the members of that house.

Stop deliberately excluding the word MAJORITY

You keep showing yourself as a product of 'free education'.
I didn't exclude anything.Anywhere,any day,2/3 is a majority compared to remaining 1/3.
The text said 2/3 majority of members,not 2/3 OF majority of members.
Get back in class,and this time stay there and learn.
This will be the last I respond to you. You continually show yourself obtuse and unwilling to learn,even though you're a paid shill.I can see you're not a sharp tool at all,not to talk of being the sharpest in the shed

PaChukwudi44:


bROS YOU SABI BOOK JOOR

Lol.
The CFRN,1999 as amended, may be flawed,but it's not 'rocket science' reading and comprehending it's explicit provisions.
I remember the days of arguing over Falana's contention that the administration can appoint Magu to full chairmanship of EFCC without going through confirmation. The zombies were out too,hailing the man and asking if I were a 'SAN' to know more than him.
Till this day,Magu is still acting.
Same rubbish we're now getting from Sagay.
If a man be in APC,he's a new creature.His brain are passed away,his intelligence become mush.
