Politics / Re: INEC Explains Why They Refuse To Accept Admittance Of Documents In Evidence by DoTheNeedful: 7:12pm On Jun 02, 2023 |
Evermighty: Some of you are not intelligent. Is that Tinubu's real twitter page? You think he's worrying himself and tweeting about the court proceedings? Anyway, who am I to argue with people who believed Buhari was a clone from Sudan whose real name is Jubril? |
Career / Re: Federal Job Or Private Job by DoTheNeedful: 6:28pm On May 31, 2023 |
thelords4u: It's a terrible thing to be jobless in one's 40s with mouths to feed. I would recommend the FG job. If 95k is what is stated on your appointment letter, then your total pay will be significantly more than that. Before I left Nigeria, I was working in a federal government establishment. My offer letter stated 76k, but my take home after tax was around 108k. This was 10 years ago. 1 Like 1 Share |

I posted this in another thread! The argument about winning 25% in FCT is the most ridiculous of all the arguments being made by the opposition. It is funny that some senior lawyers who are obviously partisan are also making the argument. The FCT is just a federating unit like any other state in Nigeria and it's like a 37th state. For people arguing about "AND", I suggest you read Schedule III of the Nigerian constitution which nobody is talking about. It clearly use the same "AND" for the distribution of police commissioners to the 36 states AND the FCT, appointment of commissioners to the National Population Commission from each of the 36 states AND the FCT, appointment of commissioners to the RMAFC from each of the 36 states AND the FCT, appointment of commissioners to INEC from each of the 36 states AND the FCT, appointment of representatives to the FCC from each of the 36 states and the FCT, etc. These are exactly in the same spirit with having 2/3 of the 36 states and the FCT. In all the above cases, the FCT is clearly seen as a federating unit. As a result, it does not have a special status like some people like to make it, and it should be treated as a state. I see the court throwing out the FCT case. The best bet for the opposition is to prove that the election was rigged sufficiently enough to change the outcome of the election. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Crime / Re: 3 Sentenced To Death For Stealing Phones Chargers, Sandals, Power Banks In Ekiti by DoTheNeedful: 1:56pm On May 16, 2023 |
Typicool8: I understand your perspective. However, based on our existing laws, the judgement was well delivered. According to our laws, there is a clear difference between robbery and armed robbery. If I took your phone at gun-point or knife-point , I would be given a death penalty. If I snuck into your room to steal your phone, I might be given few months in prison. A politician that steals billions would be given a more favourable sentence than a Kingsley that took your 5,000 using knife. 27 Likes 3 Shares |

Politics / Re: Ministerial Appointment: Disquiet In Rivers APC Over Wike, Tinubu Romance by DoTheNeedful: 9:06am On May 12, 2023 |
Tinubu does not owe Rivers APC a pin. Wike will nominate the minister from Rivers. Rivers APC, under the leadership of Amaechi obviously worked against Tinubu and supported Atiku. Officials of APC in Rivers even said on camera that APC's win in Rivers was fraudulent. I agree that there was "wayo wayo" in Rivers State presidential election. However, it is not right for "members" of the party that benefitted from such to be calling the election fraudulent. 14 Likes |

tonywonder: The so-called prophet is just still pained about the last election. If Tinubu dies before May 29, Shettima would be sworn in. There is no way Atiku or Obi would be sworn in. According to our laws, it is the political parties that win elections and not individuals. Tinubu's victory is APC's victory. Therefore, if he's not sworn in due to death, Shettima becomes the president. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Depriest2020: This is not necessarily true. Cosmopolitan areas all over the world usually vote differently due to many factors. The voting pattern of New York in the US is different from New Hampshire. Similarly, the voting pattern in London will definitely differ from Lancashire. Since 1961, the Republicans have not won Washington DC (US capital), yet the Republicans have won more presidential elections than the Democrats in the same period. Voting pattern in a city depend significantly on the demography of that city. The ethnic composition in Abuja is different from Sokoto. While many people in Abuja might prefer Obi, an average Danladi living in a village in Sokoto might find him unattractive. Also, note that Danladi in the village will also have a different political view from Shehu (who is also from Sokoto and educated) who lives in Abuja. 2 Likes |

He also did weed and coca1ne. Yet, many of you would consider him as one of the best American presidents. Winston Churchill was a chain smoker too. Back home here, former president Shagari smoked a lot. Odumegwn Ojukwu , the late Biafran leader was an avid smoker as well. If you want to try football, Pep Guardiola, Ancelotti, Sarri are all smokers. Smoking doesn't make you less intelligent. Let's focus on issues. |

xevove2061: You sound like a tribalist yourself. You are still pained that your candidate was rejected in Lagos. Have you ever asked yourself why you wanted an inexperienced GRV to win? Was he better prepared for the position than Sanwo-olu, Jando or Funsho Doherty? Why were people from a particular ethnicity specifically interested in GRV? Was it because of Obi's endorsement? What is the track record of GRV? Answer these questions truthfully before you label other people as tribalists. BTW: Let the SE show the SW how not to be tribalist by voting an Ijaw or Urhobo man as Anambra governor. 3 Likes |

You see someone working this hard, yet you want to vote him out because your kinsman endorsed another inexperienced candidate with almost no work experience. If your argument is that Sanwo is Tinubu's boy, why didn't you support Jandor or Funsho Doherty? Funsho Doherty is Harvard educated and he's competent. Why GRV? 310 Likes 14 Shares |
Politics / Re: Grvâs Only Sin, And The Hypocrisy Of The Yoruba Nation by DoTheNeedful: 9:45pm On Mar 20, 2023 |
Vado2: The grouse of people against GRV is more complicated than most of you trying to make it. He is not the first politician in the SW whose mother/father is from other tribes. Governor Adeleke's mother was pure Igbo and he also speaks Igbo very fluently. Yet, people still voted for him as governor in Osun, a state that is a lot more conservative than Lagos. Governor Akeredolu's wife is pure Igbo and she has functioned well as the first lady. I tend to see people who believed that GRV was not elected mainly because of his Igbo ancestry as tribalistic themselves, because they are selective in what they choose to see. They ignore Adeleke, Akeredolu and some prominent Yoruba people who stood by Obi's campaign. What you should know is that if LP presented an pure Yoruba candidate, people would still have voted against that candidate. Rightly or wrongly, some Yoruba people see Peter Obi actively campaigning for a candidate in Lagos as an overreach. They believe Sanwo-olu was not performing badly too. Another point is that GRV also has a history of making snide remarks about Yoruba people. It's all over the place. Internet never forgets. This makes some people to even doubt if he had any Yoruba heritage. The election has come and gone, let's move on. Having seen all that has transpired from on all social media platforms. I can confidently say that people of all ethnic groups contributed to this bad atmosphere we have now. It would be insincere, tribalistic and hypocrital for any group to point fingers at another. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
