Gradually but surely, we will get there.

We only need to find a way to unite behind a good course and a way to unite to condemn a bad course.

Did you expect BH to specifically insist that a muslim from the north should be president? Of course they won't state that. Or did you expect NDA to specifically insist that a South-South person retain the presidency? Of course they won't. But we just have to use our commonsense.

The uncommon common sense that could arrive at your conclusion out of so many possibilities.

Greedy Nigerians are the real problem of Nigeria.

And these thieves go to church and mosque every Sunday and Friday!

BrokenTV:
Am not talking about the Op, am talking about you, Did i tell you before that i did not read it.

Then it's correct to say you lack comprehension ability.

For clarity sake, my statement was "even if I swallow this hook, line and sinker ..." Pay attention to "IF"

CLASSMAN:
So more inconclusive abi? We are definitely back in time in this coubtry

The right way to go. Sooner rather than later, we all (security agencies, electorates and the politicians) will learn the hard way and always do the right thing.

A valid reason to reject them.

This is exactly what I said yesterday in this thread here https://www.nairaland.com/3248034/inconclusive-elections-new-concept-must

It is illogical not to expect inconclusive elections when we know that most of our elections are flawed.

I support INEC 100% on this as far as their are good grounds to declare elections inconclusive. The ONLY ALTERNATIVE FOR NOW is for a party with "better connections" to write results in connivance with some INEC officials.

DropShot:
This brief piece is in defense of the new but now very popular cliche “inconclusive election” by INEC.

Prior to nomination and appointment of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as the INEC Chairman, the phrase “inconclusive election” was not a regularly used narrative in Nigeria’s election terrain. As such, many Nigerians, especially those who support PDP, have not only voiced their opposition to the new trend but have also condemned it entirely, claiming that it’s a strategy used by INEC to favour the APC-led federal government.

Having taken a look at our past elections and different flaws that came with them, and compared to what the current INEC is doing by declaring some elections inconclusive, I have come to agree that the present INEC is doing our democracy a great service by declaring some elections inconclusive.

In all elections declared inconclusive by the present INEC, there were justifiable reasons for such position. These reasons included but not limited to:
1. Ballot box snatching
2. Use of fake ballot papers or massive thumb-printing of ballot papers
3. Violent disruptions by political rivals resulting in destruction of properties and life
4. Killing and maiming of electorates
5. Failure to conclude voting before darkness set in thereby disenfranchising some electorates
6. Compromised electoral officials
7. Other logistics problems

We all know that the above listed reasons are common occurrence in Nigeria’s elections and we have always had to contend with them since 1999. Records exist where many polling units could not participate in an election but election results were declared nonetheless; despite that many electorates were disenfranchised! There are records of how election results were written in the sitting room of some politicians, yet such results were announced as a reflection of the electorates’ wish! Surely, these two scenarios should have caused the elections to be cancelled or declared inconclusive.

What used to happen was that where some of the above were witnessed, the party with the upper hand, in connivance with INEC, had always been declared winner through doctored result! Is this what we prefer to having an election declared inconclusive with a view to remedying whatever anomaly was recorded?

The result of Imo North senatorial election re-run of yesterday shows that APC had 48,000+ votes to PDP’s 40,000+ votes and about 15,000 registered voters yet to cast their ballot. In the old order, either of the two leading parties, in connivance with INEC, will have just shared the remaining uncast ballots as they deem fit, and a result is declared in favor of the party with highest connection. But because the current INEC (and by extension the FG) is determined to make people’s choice count, the election was declared inconclusive because of shooting between supporters of PDP and APC. To me, that was the only sensible thing to do by INEC. The rescheduled election will afford the two parties checkmate any nefarious activities that may be in the plan of the other party. That way, rigging is significantly reduced if not eliminated.

The concept of declaring election “inconclusive” is also capable of frustrating election riggers, trouble makers, and of course their sponsors as they will sooner or later realize that creating chaos in the hope of benefiting from such act will no longer be guaranteed.

So folks, let us embrace the new notion of “inconclusive election” for the purpose of deepening the quality of our election and democracy.

Lalasticlala Seun Mynd44, do you guys think it's worth fp?

Engrpj:
Reports trending on social networks has it that Buhari might strip Buratai of his position as search for replacement intensifies.....

Which social networks?

How has commissioning of a project become a ource of wailing for the wailing zombies?

Make I run commot before hell is let loose.

Sylva and APC should forget about the last election in Rivers. By 2019 when Wike must have plunged the state into unimaginable debts despite its huge allocations, their eyes go clear that time.

BrokenTV:
So GEJ now did 70%, because your hypocrisy has now been exposed, God is watching you people, continue.

Did you read the OP? Read it again but very slowly this time.

STONEGEORGE15:
If GEJ was still the president, People won't excchange their kids for bags of rice. Lol!

If GEJ was still the president, Dasuki, Mettuh, Diezanni, Akpobolokemi and other thieves would have ensured Nigeria is already another Somalia.

Madam Gele even warned of the impending catastrophe we're witnessing now. Where were you?

nigerianvenom:
How did fund d project? From which budget? Be sincere to urself

tete7000:
Haba how can people who just passed budget provide counterpart fund for a project already almost completed. If I may ask in which budget was that funding included? Reason well abeg and no let unnecessary sentiment becloud your judgement.

Listen, 2015 budget was only signed into law just few days to GEJ exit. So, it was PMB that still had to do the implementation of that year's budget.

Yes, GEJ tried by doing about 70% of that project but more credit to the finisher of it.

ephi123:
You should be ashamed of yourself. Should your question be "has a remote chance of defeating PMB in 2019" or when will he wake up to his numerous responsibilities?? Inflation at its highest level but of course you won't care cos your pay check is monthly. Alainironu.

Why are you crying nah?

Awon buroda mi ti won nse aburo baami re nile ni o nbawi.

alade112:
To be sincere dz Abuja-Kaduna fast-train is Gej project coz d project is almost completed Unfortunately, he was kicked out Bubu is now the one receiving sincere compliments and praises. Anyway The money used on the project is neither Gej money nor buhari's cash.. What we need is an improvement that will add value to the Society . Dont tell me you will nt use the train just because it was built by GEj and inaugurated by buhari just bcoz u hate him

The project started in 2006. Funded largely by Yaradua and completed by PMB. Had GEJ provided the counterpart funding, he could have been the one to complete and commission it simce 2014.

Move on!

ephi123:
Well the stats are there for you to see, afterall Nairaland is a public forum that cuts across so such a high difference between the two options on the poll says it all.

Zombies unfortunately have not an iota of sense left, most unfortunate. Pele.

Aburo, you've not still answered the simple question I asked you but busy crying and wailing and cursing.

I repeat, who do you think has a remote chance of defeating PMB in 2019?

Stone?

Elose11:
My mother and grand mother are market women in Agbado market, Benin. They are not supporting the broom. So where did the ' entire Edo market women' come from?

When it's reported this way, it means the umbrella bodies. Not necessarily all market women will vote for APC.

ephi123:
From a recent poll, even a stone will defeat him. Can't believe anyone is still defending Buhari with his WOEFUL performance so far. Wonders will truly never cease.

If that satisfies your emotion, hold on to it.

In 2019, just bring out the stone to contest against PMB, shogbo?

Wailers and common sense, no be for this world.

Bari22:
Thank you gej for uncompleteness an incompetency, thank you Buhari for working.

Well said!

If GEJ was still the president, that project would have dragged till 2058!

madridguy:
You want dash me one?

You go accept granny?

truthspeaks:
Have u spared any wailer in ur zombeism. Now u feel wat it is to defend a murderous president. Pls tel him he z succeeding in d wiping out of benue Ppl n congratulate omenka too

Wail on boy!

madridguy:
I don hear you sir.

You get wife or you need one?

2sexynet:
jaybee3, hope you are reading this? In the light of events like this where the president will NEVER do a thing , one dropshot will come here to tell us that Tompolo should submit himself if he is not guilty so that his father will stop being brutalize or why we should accept inclusive elections as a norm.

I pity what will become of this remnant called a country.

Can you leave me out of your perpetual wailing please?

madridguy:
Inspirational.

Beautiful bride + Handsome groom= wonderful couple.

My head they swell now to marry but pocket is not smiling.

Chai

Abeg go marry joor!

IVORY2009:
Here comes, one of the government defenders

I state the facts as I see them.

This project was signed by OBJ, Started by Yar'Adua/GEJ and completed by PMB. Deal with it!

richidinho:
Godbless GEJ for giving Buhari something to commission after a year in office

The IB that couldn't even complete a single fg project in over five years, including this one?

hob:
I hope they invited GEJ sha



At least this was his project

A project started more than 10 years ago cannot be his project. Move on!

eleojo23:
Let's wait for 2019 and see.
If things get any worse than it is, he will not stand a chance unless he sprays some hypnotizing magic dust in the air and turn everyone to zombies. That is the only way people will vote for him again.

Again, tell us who you think has a remote chance of defeating him in 2019?

Difficult to come up with just a name?

eleojo23:
Sorry, Buhari has already voted himself out with his woeful performance.

Who do you think can defeat him in 2019?

Let no one come here to talk about tribe, name checking or any of those bull crap.

Please enough of tribal and religion bigotry here.

Was there a way UBA would have known what the money was meant for?

As far as there was no money laundering law broken, UBA has no problems.
