Politics › Re: APC State Chairmen From Northwest Endorse Ganduje For Chairman Position by DoTheNeedful:
Racoon:
Gandollar bullion vans gravy train have started going round. Instead of them to distance themselves or asking him to go face his criminal trial, they are here boldly endorsing a crook seen stuffing his babanriga agbada with wads of dollar bribe? Later these bastards will tell gullible Nigerians they are out to fight corruption and drugs?
DesChyko:

Godsonkemz:

Your state governor might even be more corrupt than Ganduje. He might not even be the most corrupt governor in Nigeria. Perharps, Obi might have stolen more State funds in Anambra than Ganduje in Kano. However, Ganduje committed the biggest sin of all: don't ever get caught especially on camera. He will always regret it.

PS: If you think that Ganduje is worse than an average Nigerian governor regardless of the political party, you are part of Nigerias problem. Ganduje's sin was to get caught on camera.
Politics › Re: Tinubu Built Lagos But Refused To Build Nigeria by DoTheNeedful: 12:13pm On Jul 25, 2023
able20:
During the just-concluded presidential election, APC's agenda and slogan were " Tinubu built Lagos, and he will build Nigeria ".
With the above-mentioned slogan, Tinubu and APC attracted sympathizers.

Nigerians today are suffering under Tinubu and are calling on the so-called Jagaban who single-handedly transformed Lagos from a forest to a big city to help transform Nigeria
He claimed to have built Lagos after 8 years in power. He's spent less than 2 months as Nigeria's president. You can only pass an objective assessment of him after 8 years in power as Nigeria's president. You Obidients sef undecided.

In USA, a poor man's room cost $400 per month which is 320,000 naira per month. I agree that people are suffering in Nigeria at the moment, but it doesn't make any sense to compare cost of living in Nigeria with that of US or any advance country.

It is the panel that will determine if Peter obi has proven his case or not ...They are not going to sentimental about it ...I will admonish you to wait for the court verdict ...when people without knowledge if law keep saying one had not proven his case one begin to wonder if a carpenter can conduct medical examination .

Apc is hoping to win based on technicality...but is left for the panel and ultimately supreme court to decide. We all know this matter will get to supreme court irrespective of whom won at the tribunal .

Everyone saw how laughable apc lawyers have been ...saying if tinubu us denied the opportunity it might resort to anarchy...but they forgot that abiola thT won free and fair election was denied and nothing happened to Nigeria....The world is watching to see how the court will consider such argument...such argument is only meant for comic entertainment
MadamExcellency:
The honourable SANs should stop making a mess of the legal profession.

25% in Abuja is not fiction.
Certificate forgery is not fiction.
Forfeiture for drugs and money laundering is not a fiction.
INEC posting different figures for Rivers State in IREV and announcing different winners and results is not fiction.

Peter Obi got more votes from one LGA of Borno State than what INEC recorded for the final State result is not fiction.

The world is watching. You can't win on technicalities any longer when the stakes are high.
shortgun:
“Order 22 Rule 5 of the Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019, which is applicable to the proceedings mandates that “a written address shall…contain…(c) the issues arising from the evidence for determination,”

Technicality SAN, sorry sir, the tribunal won't fall for your antics anymore.
The judges said earlier the tribunal will consider all petitions on their merit and not on technicality.
Everything in Obi's petition was captured in his final written address.
cheesy grin
A lot of you Obidients are hypocrites. So, Obi trying to disqualify Tinubu based on Shettima double nomination or forfeiture of over 30 years is not technicality? The fact is that if the whole arguments were to be made only on substance, it would mean that the petitioners would show the court that they actually won the election which they have not been able to prove.

Politics › Re: Peter Obi Failed To Show He Scored Majority Votes, INEC Tells Court by DoTheNeedful:
A lot of Obidients thrive on conspiracy theories, lies and misinformation. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous elements are feeding on these weaknesses to grow their social media and YouTube following e.g. NedMedia.


We have been telling them that Obi didn't prove anything in court for the court to rule in his favor. He has not been able to show the court the number of votes that he was deprived of, the number of votes to be subtracted from Tinubu's and/or Atiku's votes. He has also not shown how the non-transmission of the votes electronically has affected him. If you are familiar with court judgements about elections in Nigeria, you would know that these are usually the things judges base their decisions upon.

I can bet with everything I have in this world that the court will not deliver victory for Obi, maybe a rerun at best. The very intelligent ones among the Obidients know this and that is why they are looking into disqualifying Tinubu based on other technicalities like the so called Shettima double nomination and so on.

How do you prove in court that BAT has dual citizenship? With what evidence? The document that you are relying on is being challenged here by BAT's lawyers. Is the purported passport certified? Based on the Evidence Act, it cannot be used because it is expired. Expired document of any type cannot be admitted as evidence in the court of law. Also, Olanipekun is contending that PDP smuggled the passport issue into the petition through the backdoor after the 21 days period for filing election petition had expired.

It will be dismissed. Law no be for everbody o. If Law was straightforward like some of you make it seem, people will not be paying lawyers millions to defend them. They would just be defending themselves by quoting the constitution like you are doing. grin grin

optimusprime2:
To be honest, all Olanipekun did in 87% of his defence was utilise legal technicalities.

Unfortunately he was not able to counter most of the petitions against B.A.T with any evidence.

If the court decides to judge the case by the merit of evidence, you do realise Olanipekun will be shamed, because he actually could not defend B.A.T.
With all due respect, I see those of you hammering Olanipekun for winning based on technicalities as hypocrites. If Obi and Atiku wanted to win their cases based on substance, their arguments would be largely based on showing the court that they got the majority of the lawful votes cast. Rather, the are trying to void the election based on Shetima's double nomination, a forfeiture of over 30 years, 25% FCT, Guinean passport and so on.

The fact is that the petitioners are looking more at getting Tinubu out of the way using technicalities too. Let's be honest here.

By the way, it takes an extremely brilliant lawyer, with years of experience and legal depth to win cases based on technicalities.

Oga intelligent, the only employed nairaland member that is not underemployed, weh done!
As someone that reads widely & going by your bolded statement, since my expired passport doesn’t nullify my citizenship does that mean your revered SAN of 32years meant that his client is still a citizen of Guinea?

For the records, I really do not care who wins in court.
If the work of a lawyer was that easy, people would not be studying law for 5 years plus 1 year at law school. You still have problem understanding my previous post. Olanipekun is not deliberating on Guinean citizenship at all. He's telling the court to ignore the so-called evidence all together, because the purported passport was obtained from the internet, not certified, and expired. Even if the passport belonged to Tinubu, it has no probative value in court because it has expired.

I will not engage you in any argument about Tinubu's Guinean citizenship, because his lawyers are not even debating that. This is one of the reasons people pay brilliant lawyers millions (in dollars sometimes ) to defend them.

The problem with some of you is that you don't read widely and you don't digest information properly before jumping up and down social media displaying your ignorance.

You think a jobless or underemployed person like you know better than a man that has been a Senior Advocate of Nigeria for 32 years? Olanipekun is arguing technically about the admissibility of the so-called evidence. The expiry date of the passport matters here because based on our law and the Evidence Act, no expired document is admissible in the court of law. There was never a place, both during cross examination or in the final address, where Olanipekun said that the expiration of a passport implied nullification of citizenship.

You are not honest with your response. We were all here before elections. This hatred did not start after Feb. 25. They wished APC gave the presidential ticket to Lawan sef instead of Tinubu. The hatred is real.
Politics › Re: “Tinubu’s Nomination Is Invalid.” APM Tells Tribunal As It Closes Its Case. by DoTheNeedful:
Obidients who mostly claimed that Wole Olanipekun like to win court cases with technicality and not substance are the ones trying to use every technicality to get Tinubu out of the way.

One thing is clear, Obidients hate Tinubu with passion. They just want him out of the way. I thought this was about proving that Obi won. If Obi actually won, I pray that he's declared as winner by the court. The way I am seeing things, Obidients just want Tinubu out for reasons best known to them. Most of them would prefer Atiku to be winner to Tinubu.

The defense is poor because it misinterpretes the issues raised by the petitioners. If Olanipekun does not know what he is defending he should ask Livy
Can you state the issues the defense misinterprets? I spent over two hours carefully reading it and I can't see the misinterpretation. It carefully handles all the points raised by the petitioner. The only area in the defense that doesn't impress me was that of 25% FCT. Every other area was spot on.

What did he say about tinubu drug forfeiture ?
He addressed the drug issue from every angle possible, and contested even if it were true, it happened 30 years ago. He quoted the constitution where it says criminal conviction could only prevent you for 10 years. I think he gave the best argument against the drug forfeiture. The weakest argument was against 25% in FCT in my opinion.

In all, Wole Olanipekun and co did a great job. I am waiting for Obi's lawyers.

Shamelessness @ it peak. A question I wish to ask the APC and the criminal Organisation filled with shameless institutional election riggers, that with the incongruent results on INEC data base, the overt denial of results issued by it and the general conducts in the shambolic 2023 presidential election does they think they have a moral conscience?
Oketupa is a clown, a twitter lawyer. He sounds more like an activist than a lawyer. According to the argument in the final address, which I also read in the electoral act, IREV is not the primary material for collation. More importantly, IREV is third in hierarchy and it's not even the last resort. In other words, the electoral act preempted the failure of IREV. The police copies are the documents of last resort for collation. So, if IREV failed totally, what happened to proving irregularities with the police copies?
Politics › Re: Peter Obi/labour Party Vs Inec/tinubu: Respondents Final Written Address by DoTheNeedful:
This final address is mentally stimulating. There is a reason why Wole Olanipekun is the best lawyer in Nigeria when it comes to election matters.

That man is brilliant! The address tackled the petition from every angle possible: etymologically, logically and legally. The address, even for the case of argument, assumed some of the petitioners' arguments and still contests the legally and the logicality of those arguments.

Mehn , people are good in this country. I hope LP's lawyers will impress me too.

We need to move on from this Mmesoma's case. I knew from the get go that she was lying. I rarely could totally trust any teenager even s/he is my daughter or son. Many teenagers could do what she did. My only problem was with people, who without knowing her personally, screamed blue-murder and defended her ruthlessly because of tribalism. That was very shameful! This story would not have escalated up to this level if not for those shameless people.

She studied Law.

Instead of saying congratulations and moving on, some of you would just find a way to minimize other people's achievements.

I am tempted to agree with Reno on this.


I am very disappointed in the manner most of our Eastern folks defended the Mmesoma girl and labelled anyone with a contrary opinion a tribalist. They defended the girl, not because of they had evidence to do so, but because of her tribe. At some point, I wondered if none of them had brothers/sisters, nephews and neighbors who sat for the same JAMB so that they can compare their slips with Mmesoma's. Unfortunately, only Mmesoma wrote JAMB in the SE undecided.

If you defended Mmesoma, ask yourself if you would have given the same defense if she was Hausa, Edo or Yoruba. It is the same way many Obidients are defending Obi's purported stolen mandate with little convincing evidence. I see a very strong correlation between Mmesoma, her defenders, Obi and Obidients.

The average northern person except off course their elite, wants Peter Obi. Only raccoons like Gandollar and El Rufai associate with Asiwaju.
You know nothing about law. Unfortunately, ignorant people like are very vocal on the social media space. In law, the burden of proof lie with the accuser, not the accused. Besides, did Obi/LP prove anything with the boxes they brought to court? They only came to show the court that those downloaded IREV copies were blurred. It wasn't that they came to prove that they got X million votes and INEC assigned them 6.1 million.

I know some of you Obidients are desperate for Obi's victory, but the law doesn't work on sentiment. Obi/LP have not proven anything concrete in the court.

Fewer witnesses in defending this court case clearly indicates that LP and PDP petitions and the evidences provided are watery.

Penguin2:
Hmmmm!

See, I feel the judiciary is boxed to a corner.

Their integrity has never been more questioned like it’s being questioned now and I feel they must have some compulsion to salvage what is left of their image.

Everyone knows that Obi won the election. Or for some of you who think otherwise, at least you would agree that a lot malpractices took place.

The only reason it’s in contention whether anything will come out of the courts is just because of legal procedures and technicalities. Apart from that, it shouldn’t even be debated whether the courts will declare Obi winner.

Again, don’t forget the EU report which cast the election in bad light. The judiciary is further boxed into not upholding the election or risk inflicting an irreparable damage to its image.

Considering all these therefore, with the facts laid in court so far, I see a rerun, not runoff, where all participants would still participate.

I feel like Tinubu is already envisaging this and that’s why he has been extending hand of friendship to people like Kwankwaso, and packing appointments to Southsouth to try to get the people of the region to his side.

But I won’t be surprised if Tinubu is disqualified.

Just like I still won’t be surprised if the election is upheld (highly unlikely but this is Nigeria).
Saying everyone knows Obi won the election is a bold claim. It depends on who you ask. Many Obidients try to paint Obi as the only Messiah to save Nigeria, and think that everyone see him that way, hence your claim. Elections in Nigeria since 1960 have always been driven by ethnicity and religion. While many people voted for Obi, many more voted against him.

I agree that there were many irregularities in the election. However, how do you prove that all the irregularities favor BAT? The EU report claimed only 31% of the votes are properly counted. How do you prove that all computations favored BAT? Until Obi can prove his case beyond all reasonable doubts, everything peddled on social media is just hearsay. That is how the law works.

Before we all try to blackmail the judiciary, we should know that judgements are given based on incontrovertible facts and evidences which Obi's petition have not been able to provide. In the Western world we all try to quote and emulate, their judges would rather let a criminal go scot free if they can't prove his crime than punish an innocent one. Our judiciary operate in a similar way. The judgement of the PET will be given on the strength of Obi's evidences.
Politics › Re: INEC Closes Its Case In Atiku’s Petition Challenging Tinubu’s Election by DoTheNeedful:
It's funny how the LP and PDP are sensationalizing the proceedings of the court without looking at the substance. What dominated the LP and PDP social media space yesterday was that INEC witnesses failed to show up in court. Whereas, an INEC witness showed up in court against the petition of the PDP, he provided the AWS cloud-trail log showing that there was no human intervention in the so-called technical glitch that occurred on the election day. INEC also showed publication they made before the election informing everyone that they might not transmit results electronically.

The way LP and PDP supporters made it seem on social media was that INEC was finding it difficult to defend themselves and their witnesses could not show up because of that grin. The only witnesses that failed to show in court yesterday were the ones that were supposed to testify against LP, and they will be showing up today.

I hope when the court give judgement in favour of the status quo, some of them would not come out to say APC bribed the judges. The opposition are giving the whitewashed version of events in the court. Their lawyers are playing to the gallery, always addressing the media and making outlandish claims.
