Who are the biggest loser of this year's general election.

MINE

Atiku: This was his best chance. But he was too stubborn to make deals and resolve disagreements.

Obi: Even after losing, he could have still turn his political fortunes around like Jonathan, by quickly congratulating President Tinubu, voice his reservations about the results and ask his supporters to do their best for Nigeria and remain patient for 2027. But no, it is all about emotions and hate.

Psquare: Those one could not hide their hate and tribalist tendencies at all.

Aisha Yusuf, Area Father, etc.

You're obviously in denail if you're resident in, or have people living in Nigeria. If you do, you'd have known the biggest losers.

Burob:
Na the fines we they wait for o.

Make the Atikulated Obidient Agbadorians know much they need to donate.

Guess what, ZERO cost.

I guess we would have to find a way to invest in CCTV in every part of Nigeria self.

My brother, they will invalidate its use in court. The shocker was the word "all".

It is not anticipated for a political party to appoint an octopus agent with tentacles in all polling Units. The witnesses brought by the Appellants can only testify as to issues only in their polling unit and not all units. They ought to have all agents testify and not what they were told because it is hearsay evidence which is not admissible." Iyang Okoro (JSC).

PS: Prof Yakubu was not in all the states of the federation. The lesson is that it would be easier for 1$ to be equal to #1, than for any political party to prove electoral malpractices in a presidential election.

na2016:
You are not serious! Didn't you read of most polling agents almost being killed for not insisting on getting a copy of the result, or for not wanting to sign the doctored result?

Actually, there's no need for banter. The use of technology in our electoral system has been foreclosed, howbeit unwittingly. Which incumbent would not prefer to collate results without recourse to IReV? Don't waste your energy arguing with insane people. The damage has been signed, sealed and delivered, and the people are the casualties.

Okwyjesus:
Case closed.

While this may not be an issue, the IREV IS NOT A COLLATION TOOL is not good for modern democracy.

"It is my well-considered opinion that the failure to transmit results to the IReV did not affect the election and this issue is resolved AGAINST THE APPELLANT" --- Inyang Okoro (JSC) 2023

I hope Agbadorians are taking note, so that they don't wail tomorrow. I surely know our desperate politicians are taking notes

Estello:
IREV Portal Is not a tool for collation- Supreme court

If INEC portal stops, it does not stop the collation

The non-function of IREV might reduce voter confidence

Justice Okoro Also said INEC has the right to choose the form in which they want to transmit results

"It is my well-considered opinion that the failure to transmit results to the IReV did not affect the election and this issue is resolved AGAINST RHE APPELLANT" --- Inyang Okoro (JSC) 2023

I hope Agbadorians are taking note, so that they don't wail tomorrow. I surely know our desperate politicians are taking notes

nairalanda1:
Hmm, so why did we waste money on it then?

To forestall future investment in election technologies, or at least acceptance of them. They just don't know it yet.

DaTruths:
Nigeria is under Siege.

Fasten your seatbelt, because it's gonna be a rough ride.

Tinubu is the worst thing to happen to an average Nigerian.

"The Appellants ought to prove their case of disqualification within the 180 days prescribed at the lower court. Consequently, since the lower court has no jurisdiction to entertain this matter, it follows that this (supreme) court equally do not have the jurisdiction to entertain same." Inyang Okoro (JSC) 2023

PS: Supreme court has bo jurisdiction to resolve issues if forgery which they affirmed was criminal. Win #1 for Agbadorians (den of criminals

Which side is Wike?

Definitely not your side, or the side of those standing on mandate or chanting new Nigeria is POssible. Don't worry, it takes an abstract level of thoughts to decode that.

After today, I believe everyone's problems, as well as those of their kinsmen would be solved. Obidients would know how to channel their energy, Atikulators would take solace in the fact that AA gave BAT a bloody nose. Agbadorians would continue to enjoy Renewed hope. If the new Nigeria doesn't favour you, sorry.

The Supreme Court has fixed Thursday for the judgment on the appeals by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party, Peter Obi, respectively.

The duo is praying the apex court to set aside the judgment by the presidential election tribunal which affirmed the election of President Bola Tinubu.

The Supreme Court’s Director of Information, Dr. Festus Akande, in a telephone call on Wednesday told our correspondent that the judgment on the appeals had been scheduled for tomorrow.

He said, “Tomorrow, Thursday, has been fixed for the judgment on the appeals brought by Atiku and Peter Obi.”

Lol. I will say it again.
The Nigeria they're cooking will be enjoyed by everyone who is unfortunate to either remain or raise kids in it. We will not know today, the extent of the damage state capture can do to a man who has no MEANS. Eyes will clear.

See them insulting themselves. Unless this generation choses not to procreate or do so outside the shores of Nigeria, your kids will enjoy the Nigeria that is currently being shaped. Guess what, the elites' kids won't be here to share their fate. The fabric of our society is being ripped apart by powerful men, and the unfortunate peasants are laying the foundation of a failed state for their kids unwittingly. What's Nigeria's national value as of today? America's is freedom, Britain's is security, what's ours?

accordadoga29:
Hehehehe

Nigeria will continue to exist but Biafra will never exist

Even the fourth generation after our generation will not allow Biafra to exist.

We are the colonial masters

See this one dodging the question.
The Nigeria that will exist by then, would be one your children will enjoy like you're enjoying now, say a loud amen!

The Nigeria most people are unfortunately helping amoral people to create today will be 'enjoyed' by their children and grand children. Time will distinguish the foolish among us from the wise.

Timothy89:
I don't know why they can't let this mud region go already, this tribe are big problem to this country

Foolishness is when you confidently averr that the 6 million votes PO got, came from the 'mud region', and that only those from the supposed region have a phone with Internet access. You guys won't realize how stupid politics of tribalism has made you. It is eating deep into your essence in a way that's rendering your education useless. Education is supposed to mean enlightenment. Go check what it means to be enlightened.

Nigerians. People who have never stood up for anything can't comprehend the cost. Go to the dark Web for example, and get things for free. Ordinary articles require paid subscription to access them. Obviously, many do not know what investigative journalism is. I'm even surprised he's not being 'bankrolled' as some myopic folks would have been quick to assert.

chenny360:
I'm pro Tinubu so far but all the rulings. and judgement ain't pure. Some of the judgement in favor of Apc shouldn't have being in a corrupt free society. But we're In Nigeria where majorities of shitty things goes.
Highest bidder if I must say...
Nobody holy pass.

For the first time, someone who understands and see beyond the temporal. My major gross with the judgement is how INEC got away with the travesty. If that issue becomes law, our electoral jurisprudence is gone for good. What does this mean?

God forbid BAT fails to perform, people would naturally yearn for a change. However, when the institutions that could guarantee that has been compromised, what then would be the fate the common man, especially those celebrating it today? It means Nigeria would be condemned to never function, it will be an endless cycle of impunity (cash-and-carry politics). By then, no amount of patriotism would stop the brightest of us from jumping ship in larger numbers, even if to African countries.

If one must be tribalistic or parochial, never joke with injustice because it comes around in full cycle.

TemitayoMark:
I would personally advice Mr OBI to take to this man advice because his supporters had already destroyed his chances of getting a win at the SC. Remembered that they already threatened the CJ way back when they claimed he went to the UK in wheelchair to collect bribe from Tinubu. So they are going to meet that same man at the SC. There is a lesson to learn from this that don't just accuse someone anyhow without evidence because that person might still be your only way to the top. Obidients, are you guys going to learn at all? I guess not.

Story, story story. The diagnosis must be comprehensive. What are you afraid of, that the SC will consolidate criminality? We are okay with that, at least there will no more assumptions about why Nigeria remains in shackles. Maybe you should follow America politics more to understand what solid institutions mean. So, if you drag a SC justice, he will then pervert justice? See your mentality.

Naijanascam:
Proceeding to the Supreme court is best thing that will happen to this country called Nigeria......

Some Records will be broken while new ones will be written either for the good reason or the opposite.....

PO the Rock

Exactly. That's what they hate to hear. We want a precedence to be established so that there will be no doubt in anyone's mind about the fate of this nation. They can reinforce the PEPC judgment if they want, but it will bring closure to all those who still believe in constitutional democracy in Nigeria. I wonder why they're so pained PO is going to SC.

gaby:
The matter just dey so confusing.

Haba

How does a country function with the judiciary being biased and holding everyone in equity to the same rule of law?

How?

When we make comments based on common sense, they will call us wailers. Court's CTC's are hardcopy documents. Assuming it was not, how did signature and stamp get on it? If it was indeed a scanned hardcopy, how did watermark and header get on it? The thing about the drama is, it will consume this nation.

We all need to come to reality whether we want a country or an animal farm (lawless entity).

asanausana91:
see fool, someone better than your father is telling you the truth and you are here opening your dirty mouth to talk rubbish. INEC will never get the trust they got in the last election.

It will actually take a special kind of effort to get the kind of participation in future elections like we witnessed this year. The worst part is that no one can be blackmailed again into voting think it is their non-participation that has not made Nigeria a great nation. Contrary to that, many of us have now made peace with the fact that Nigeria is not (and may never be) great because our votes do not count, not because we do not vote. Those celebrating will understand what this betrayal of trust by INEC will portend for this nation in the years to come.

Bestbrain123:
I think you are wrong, nairaland reflect nigeria, every move every words, every headlines thats our nigeria, so you shouldn't be angry when nigeria are expressing their feelings...

Unfortunately, you're right. It reflects everything wrong about Nigeria, especially the fact that majority of the people are not any different from the leaders. Self-interest trumps collective good.

I couldn't have said it better. Again, the very thought that Nigeria may NEVER attain greatness in this generation like those before it, sends shivers down my spine. It would be suicidal to be trapped in such a conundrum of a state because without a change in our value system Nigeria will NEVER be great. The day you come to that realization, something changes about your focus and actions. A young man that had an investment of close to 20M is almost like a pauper now because of foreign exchange policy. The comic praise-singers of governments online are those that think they have not lost or are not losing anything to Nigeria as it is being run now. Sadly, they don't know they're losing YEARS. Many are already condemned to live and die average.
[quote author=Ilekokonit post=125653034]You are very correct. 99.999% of Nigerians worship money and will bow down to any criminal in power when it is BLATANTLY obvious that our politicians have eaten and continue to eat their past, present and future and that of their children and grand children born and unborn.

Resees:
With what I have observed on this forum in the past couple months I have come to a conclusion that Nigeria will never never work as a team or as a country . Now the question is why are you all Yourbas, Igbos and the Hausas wasting your damn time living together? What is the point of all this? How long will this pretense go before una realize that this isn’t working or ever work? Yourbas will grow better if they have there own and the same thing goes with other region.. Splitting on time is the best thing for everyone ..

The more you people drag this division the worst this country gets and believe me you Nigeria like this will never never go past what it is at the moment.

Yeah, let them keep voting dark horses to spite each other, and then waste their productive years ruminating online. Life is measured in years. BTW 2015 and 2027 is 12 years. Many won't still have a sense of direction because they don't know how the 'society' can either be an enabling factor for EFFICIENT progress (not survival) or retrogression. I can count young people whose businesses have collapsed BTW February and now due to a retinue of bad policies (started with Naira redesign). Bad leadership is a product of consistent bad followership.

delpee:
Appropriate evidence would have been the copies of duly signed result sheets tendered by LP polling agents showing how he won the election. Simple and straightforward. Unfortunately, there was nothing like that. Law is all about credible evidence not sentiments.

Ok. INEC wouldn't need to certify them, right? And they also wouldn't pull up a surprise by presenting other duly signed copies? How you people confidently try to insult the sensibility of highly learned SANs baffles me. It clearly shows you folks are not aware of the level of decay in our institutions. There's no helping you see it until you become victims. While most of you see it as APC vs LP, these issues actually affect lives. If you agree that many African countries have left us behind, then ask yourself why? INSTITUTIONS!!!

They shot down technological innovation in election because of one man's ambition and people are celebrating. If that particular judgment stands, we will see how subsequent elections will be conducted and whether you'd be as coy and proud of Nigeria.

Don't mind them. They didn't realize it was only by $$$, the most formidable 'persuader' of mankind besides women.

As he should, and an action every true democrat shouldn't criticise him for (since we're not under military rule). At least to reveal what's left of the judiciary, as we've all began to see. In the end, the future of Nigeria lies with Nigerians.

[quote author=DesChyko post=125634307]Per verified Twitter User @omoelerinjare,



Take all the time you need to recover from Nigeria's maladministration and haphazard misinterpretation of clear legal terms. This is exactly what we are fighting to end. The choice to not air the proceedings but air the verdict is akin to the iREV architecture working perfectly for one poll and not working for the other on the same election day. An attempt to not look so stupid.

One thing Peter Obi had always maintained is: "The journey will be long and hard". He's been there before. He knew what it took to dismantle the criminal structure he met at Anambra, pre-elections and after.

Then brace up people, we're switching gears and heading for the long run. It isn't over until it is over until you concede 😎 #GodBlessPeterObi #A New Nigeria is POssible.

onumadu:
YES.
How?
Nigerians don't like to "put body" for things they want to see happen in Nigeria.
For a tiny fraction of what Nigerians have been put through, many nations had conducted revolutions and put in place the system they want.
That is exactly what happened in France, Britain, US, Russia, China, and even some third world countries where there is sanity.
In Nigeria here, people choose (yep) suffering because of tribalism instead of standing firm to resist evil.

Do you know how many wars European countries fought between the middle/dark ages to the renaissance/enlightenment, to first and second "world wars"?

What do you think those wars were about?

Today, Europeans pray FAR LESS (or not even pray at all) but they get almost everything they want.
They have decent societies and our people (that pray everyday) die in the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean sea trying to get there.

Europeans "put body" for what they want, and the rest is history.
That is why they (Europeans) and even Asians, don't respect us.

It is not our "leaders" fault. It is OUR fault.
God finished his work and said they are good. The rest is up to us.
Whatever we allow on earth is allowed in heaven. Period.

I only know there's a strong force of subjugation at play. People think their minds are still theirs when it comes to issues of national importance. I mean, people sing the praises of their oppressors as if they've never had an essence (value system). We have seen this trend since 1999. They don't realize they're doing a great disservice to their future and that of future generations, and ultimately their nation. Another thing I've observed is that if you're not greedy of personal gains, you won't lose your mind. I think those are the only right thinking people in the country now, and they cut across all tribes. Unfortunately, they've become too insignificant to make a difference.
