Niger State, Kaduna State, Plateau State, etc were all PDP in 2015, did it stop the Hurricane from sweeping them away?

Okay, let me bring it forward, Kogi State, Ondo State, Rivers State and Ekiti State were 100% PDP Just last... Can you still call them a PDP state today?

They are many politicians in Kwara State waiting on the wing to wrestle power from Saraki but have never been supported from the Above...

Saraki may still win next year, but every other others positions will be shared in the state. Bookmark this post...

@SuanusBlog

The Ekiti State governorship election is scheduled to hold this Saturday. Although there are many other political parties participating in the crucial poll, political observers agree with ease that it is certainly a big battle between the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the main opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC. Interestingly, Gov.Fayose is not contesting yet he has over-shadowed the candidate of the PDP who enjoys his ‘episcopal anointing’ and is his current deputy, Prof.Olusola Eleka.

The election is very important to the APC a much as it is to the PDP. For the APC, it is about restoring hope, dignity, political and economic sanity to the state, welfare of the citizens and enhancing development in all facets of the state. The PDP mainly believes in CONTINUITY; Gov.Fayose good works must continue.
But at the end of the day, a winner will emerge; will it be the APC or the PDP or perhaps any other party through a surprise win, Suanu’s Blog in this piece examines why the APC stands a huge chance of emerging victorious.

1. To Restore The Dignity And Pride Of Ekiti State: The emergence of Gov.Fayose and is party, the PDP since 2014 has brought more shame and distain to the good people of Ekiti state. Good governance appears to have been completely thrown into the ocean while mediocrity continues to be celebrated. Gov.Fayose has brought governance to a humiliated and embarrassing him. More so to an extent that it becomes a national embarrassment with people from other places asking how come Ekiti people decided to settle for that kind of character despite the huge intellectual prowess and collection of responsible citizenry. Gov.Fayose has unfortunately also transferred that strange mentality to his learned deputy who could be better described as his puppet. Apart from those who share some toutish mentality with Gov.Fayose, many other Ekiti people are more concerned about seeing a generally responsible leadership in the state instead of the roadside-pomo-eating politics and other shameful unending dramatic episodes that have been emanating from Ekiti State so far.

2. Experience: Dr.Kayode Fayemi of the APC is not only learned but an astute administrator with sufficient experience to fast track development in Ekiti State and provide good governance to its people. He has been there before and some of his enduring policies and those whose lives were impacted positively still long for and are excited about his second coming. On the other hand, the PDP candidate has almost been deep in the pocket of Gov.Fayose that without the direct leadership and remoting of his boss may simply push the state off the leader.

3. The South-West Factor: The geo-political region has an enduring history with the progressives to a reasoning extent. And some political observers are of the opinion that regional socio-economic development will be better enhanced if all the states are under a singular political party aligned to the presidency. Interestingly, Ekiti State appears to be the only party in the entire South-West that isn’t experiencing the broom revolution. The South-West may simple deem it fit to completely align with the APC intoto in a bid to promote absolute brotherliness and even development across the region. This may eventually throw additional favours at the APC.

4. Federal Might And The Special Interest Of Buhari In Ekiti State: The use of so-called federal might isn’t new in the politics of Nigeria. It played a major role in the 2014 election in Ekiti State and is expected to repeat itself in 2018. Pushing aside all sentiments, many persons would agree that the emergence of Ayo Fayose as the Governor in 2014 was never because of his perceived or alleged popularity but the huge role the Jonathan presidency played. He was given almost everything he needed to seal his victory even ahead of the election. Fayose had the Central Bank of Nigeria in his pocket, He was the commander of the Armed Forces of Nigeria in Ekiti State then and the commander and dictator to the Independent National Electoral Commission in the said poll. It was on all these that he rode boastfully to victory. Expectedly, if the current presidency hands over all these to Dr.Fayemi, then the election is as good as being over. Many people believe that the battle ahead for Fayose is lost already, chiefly to natural law of justice, karma; whatever a man sows, that he shall reap. Many people believe that it is time for vengeance and Fayose will be served the same meal he enjoyed in 2014. If these perfectly play out, then the PDP will have to preserve more tears to cry, more strength to protest and increased mouth to complain. More so, a president Buhari that has previously shown not enough concerns in elections in some states previously has obviously expressed repeated interest in his party taking over Ekiti State. If you remember Fayose has been doing to Buhari, then you will perfectly understand Buhari’s special interest in snatching the state for his party.

5. Poor Development: Ekiti State has recorded a very low level of development in the past three years plus of the Fayose government. Gov.Fayose appears to have been running the state without any clearly mapped out plans or blue-print. He instead prefers and believes more in stomach infrastructure than physical infrastructure. He prefers to share 200 and a tablet of rice to the people than empower the people economically to a sustainable level or provide needed infrastructure that will support commerce, industry and enterprise in the state. Those who want to see a shift in focus from Gov.Fayose’s politics of massive under-development will certainly look elsewhere and may not support his preferred candidate. Without mincing words, Ekiti State seems to be the most infrastructurally deficient state in the entire South-West region and many concerned citizens of the state appears quiet interest in changing that narrative.

6. The Defections: Gov.Fayose’s high-handedness and exercise of supremacy against other members and chieftains of his party; especially in the state has swept off many of his loyalist, allies and party men and women into the APC. While PDP has recorded no major addition in terms of defection to its fold, the APC has harvested many key players from the Fayose camp and since politics is a game of number, no one can take those defections for granted. The more defections into the APC, the lesser the votes and supports for the PDP and this has been a major blow to the desperate plot of Gov.Fayose to have his stooge replace him.

7. Stomach politics: Before now, many persons have seen Dr.Fayemi as an elitist politician against the grassroots nature of Fayose. However, this seems to have changed after the 2014 election. Fayemi appears to have learnt some very important lessons and have followed suit in giving his people what they want and how they want it. He has been seen showing the queue of those who share food items, money and other items at various times to the People. And during the election this will play a key role. Ekiti people and their loyalty may just be for the highest bidder to a very large extent. It can be recalled that just few days ago, his campaign organization chose to provide free fuel to motorists in the state, an act that was later replicated by the PDP. In this election, the Fayemi now may be entirely different from the so-called Elitist Fayemi; if Fayose gives anybody N500 and a tablet of rice, Fayemi may give such a person N5000 and a full bag of rice. And if this plays out, your guess is as good as mine as to where the pendulum will finally swing.

8. The plight of workers: Workers have been the major victim of the Fayose government. It is alleged that throughout this year, no civil servant or pensioner has been paid in Ekiti State. This is despite the huge sums of money collected by the Fayose government in terms of Bailout Funds, Paris Club Refunds, Internally Generated Revenue and federal allocations. If Ekiti workers decide to reshape their career destinies and vex their anger on Gov.Fayose and his candidate, then it will go a long way in truncating the hopeful victory of the PDP.

9. The Dry Purse of The PDP: The loss of majority states by the PDP in the 2015 elections has hugely affected the exercise of financial might by the party. This will certainly have an effect on the availability of funds at the disposal of Fayose for the elections. Apart from Gov.Wike and few chieftains of the party especially those with presidential ambitions, the financial contributions other governors and leaders of the party may make towards the Ekiti polls for the PDP will never be as before. Add this to the fact that many of its governors are already saving money to execute their own elections next year. Many presidential aspirants may not even wholeheartedly support Fayose’s candidate because of the so-called presidential ambition of Fayose. To show how serious this is, this is the first time Nigerians saw an advert from the PDP not begging for votes but for money to support its candidate in Ekiti State. More worrisome is the fact that Gov.Fayose may not empty his personal funds to deliver Prof.Olusola as he recognizes that he has a life to live outside the Ekiti State Government House and more battles awaiting Him to lose his immunity.

10. Unity of the Party: The ability of the party to unite all the numerous aspirants that contested its governorship primary election is an indication of the possibility of clinching the state on Saturday. The PDP had just aspirants, yet they lost one and retained one. If all the aspirants work in support of Dr.Fayemi, then the victory will be facilitated and enhanced.
How all these will turn out to be on Saturday lies in the votes of the good people of Ekiti State.

US Court Dismisses Biafra Suit Against Nigerian Government

Publish Date: Jul 26 2018 4:32PM

A District of Columbia (DC) Court in the United States (U.S.), has dismissed the suit filed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) against the Federal Government and 15 others seeking millions of dollars compensation.

The group, through its plaintiff, Godson M. Nnaka and his lawyers, is also seeking payment of 40 per cent of the $550 million Abacha loot.

Respondents in the suit are the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, Director General of the State Security Service (SSS), Lawal Daura, former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase and his successor, Ibrahim Idris.

Others are governors of Abia and Anambra states, Okezie Ikpeazu and Willie Obiano.

IPOB had filed the case against the defendants in the U.S. court, alleging rights violation, torture and killing of its members, who were on peaceful protest at different times and locations between 2016 and 2017.

The trial judge, Dabney Friedrich, dismissed IPOB's case for lack of jurisdiction, saying officials of the Nigerian government enjoy foreign immunity.

The case was filed by counsel to IPOB, DC Attorneys, Fein & DelValle PLLC, while the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, retained the services of Anthony O. Egbase of (AOE) Law and Associates to represent Nigeria.

IPOB had alleged that the respondents conspired and agreed to kill Biafran civilians in order to crush Biafra and terrorise them.

According to them, government officials engaged in extra judicial killings of Biafrans, tortured and killed peaceful protesters during the Biafran Patriots Day parade on May 30, 2017.

PDP is taking BENUE, PLATEAU, KWARA, KOGI 100%. Yahaya bello, the governor of kogi is an egbira man, a minority in kogi and has been terrible to igala who are majority and kabba where Melaye comes from. They will rather vote an igala man back to power via PDP than have egbira bello return. Nasarawa didn't vote for APC in 2015, and you think they'll vote them 2019. I have lived in middle belt all my life, don't argue middle belt politics with me

Just for my own education, what was your take or expectation as to which parties/candidates would win the governorship and presidential elections in 2015 in Benue, Plateau, and Kogi states?

(No pun intended; I just want to put your current analysis in a proper perspective, your 100% hyperbole notwithstanding.)

earthrealm:
any hands on experience with this battrey less CC?.
how does it work?..does it mean that when the sun is covered by clouds, the equipment its hooked up to might stop working??

No hands-on experience here, as yet, but I think I've followed a hands-on user of the unit well enough to be able to provide some informed view of my own, as follows:

It depends...

- First, let's remember that, "Batteryless operation" does not connote the unit cannot be used with batteries; it can, and normally too. So:

- If there's complete cloud cover such that the voltage from the PV array is not at least 1 volt (say) above the set system voltage, AND neither grid power nor sufficient battery backup voltage is present, then the CC part of the inverter won't be able to manufacture power, and the inverter gracefully shuts down.

- If there's complete cloud cover such that the voltage from the PV array is not at least 1 volt (say) above the set system voltage, AND there's no battery power connected BUT there's grid power, the system simply switches to grid power, as with a battery-based grid-tie system, (just to run loads, but without the feature to push any surplus power back into the public grid whatsoever.)

- In all other conditions, the unit will operate as per the power supply priority set with a usual battery-based grid-tie Inverter-cum-CC combo. (Again, just to run loads, but without the feature to inject any surplus power back into the grid whatsoever.)

--------

BTW, people, I'm noticing the feature of the subject batteryless-operation inverters to take power directly from the PV array, without the power first having to get stored in attached batteries. That, I believe, helps stave off some potential power losses in the system.

I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to be able to say such a feature is not already present on some other off-grid/battery-based grid-tie inverters, but I'm liking the feature very much.

So you think the Omoluabi and Yoruba intelligentsia are dumb enough to vote Atiku back in? Lol.

Was it not one of you opposition members that paid the now busted Cambridge Analytica a whopping $2 million to carry out a false islamisation propaganda against PMB? What more wouldn't be done to ensure the propaganda continues? You think everyone is dumb enough not to see the politics behind the killings? Issoryt.

Aside all these, enough measures are being put in order to contain your excesses in the now fully APC controlled SW.

That's the issue, actually... your world view is quite different from those of the majority of common voters on the streets; so one can understand why some of us always feel perplexed with results that emanate from nation-wide elections.

Some of us simply base our analysis and expectations on wrong political premises.

Enice:
how? First of all, these states are landslide state: kano, kaduna, kastina, sokoto, borno, jigawa, bauchi, kebbi, niger, and zamfara. These states are 60 percentile states: lagos, ogun, oyo, ekiti, ondo, osun, nasarawa, adamawa, edo and gombe. While the rest states are 25-50% states. PNB already have 20 states in the bag. Or don't you know that PDP is now a regional party, controlled from the SS and supported by the SE.

With regards to the forthcoming presidential election in 2019 and even as things stand, yours is the most realistic/pragmatic view I've seen on this forum this far, TBH.

Good thinking, Enice, and well done.

Hello bro... my mxq pro got briked.

Turns on but boots to recovery mode ( where you see wipe, reboot, clear cache etc...)

When I try to reboot it comes back to the recovery screen.

Any help?

The ability to boot to recovery is actually a sign that the unit is still healthy - sort of.

I suggest you:

1. Run all "Cache" entries on that recovery menu, then reboot to System. Hopefully, that clears your problem. If that doesn't work, and you're able to get back on the recovery screen, then, as a last resort:
2. Run something like a "Factory Reset" (it may be part/subset of the "Wipe" entry) on that recovery menu, then reboot to System. Hopefully, that returns your device to its pristine state. With this method, all your user-installed apps will be deleted; and there's no guarantee all your data won't be deleted in the process as well, though, so be aware.

If the above do not restore your device, then post a snap shot of all pages of the recovery menu screen here, so people may be able to help further.

Good luck.

I really wish you could tell us the particular location where the thugs shot at people and snatched " ballot papers" as you claimed, i've not even heard of where ballot papers were snatched before it is the box I know they normally snatch at elections. . If you can tell us the ward, unit, local government with enough evidence, video then maybe you will have a point. When Fayose used to share 2000 APC used to share grammar , when Fayose used to share rice and 200 APC were there castigating it saying that is not democracy which is fayose definition of his grassroot strength and NOW APC decided to use his tactics, the same formation, and fayose was outsmarted. See let me tell you. You don't go into election believing the peoples love for you is sure when they are all hungry. Fayose is owing 6,7,8,9months respectively and he didn't pay JUST one or two months to the election. I live in Adebayo, Ado - Ekiti. That's ward 9 unit 7 at Late chief Olora house. Kola and Kunle Elesin (PDP) shared 4000 on Friday night. These guys are known here. They are my friends. PDP shared 4000 a night to the election. On the day of the election, APC shared 5000-10000 and their own strategy was, Vote for APC, Before you drop it in the box show it once you do that you get your money. Majority collected PDP's 4000 and ended up voting for APC and collecting APC's money too. PDP didn't monitor the people they gave 4000. On ballot papers snatching you mentioned , There was a case of APC thugs that scattered a box at Ado community. That's d only video of where they disrupted the election. At the end PDP still won there. Pride, arrogance killed fayose in this election. His domineering personality killed him. There's no top PDP politician that worked for the party because they don't have a say . this is what happens when you are the governor, deputy, speaker, party chairman , commissioner and you don't share responsibilities and duties. ONLY lere could talk under his government. And finally, to your sorry ass, most voters went there looking for fayose on the ballot papers. He was busy telling them to vote for him. It will shock you to know some people didn't know he's not even contesting. Lesson: PRIDE kills and at times you have to face your battle head on. bully the bully and fear go catch am he will lose the battle. - On this election, there's no case !

Please hurry up and pack your speakers.....there's vacancy in Nnamdi Kanu's former cell.

Each ward has a coalition center where all the units results are tabulated in the presence of all party representatives they are surly involved in the process and they get to sign and pick up a stamped pink sheet .
If PDP feels results are being manipulated they can always take these sheets to court but the sad truth is ‘ in Ilejemeje (iye ijeshamodu) APC won with a very slight Margin.

Let’s be sincere with our self’ every PDP member including Fayose had this air of authority that Ekiti belongs to PDP sometimes over confidence is not a good thing.
