The reason for not printing pictures on the Nigerian ballot is simple.

In the Nigerian electoral law, you vote for a party not a candidate. That is why Rotimi Amaechi could be the governor despite Celestine Omehia being the candidate at the time of the elections in 2007. Same with Yahaya Bello.

What happens if you put someone's picture and another person is later declared by the court as the valid candidate of the party? That's why it's laughable when people make puerile statements like we are voting for personalities not parties.

Nigeria does not have 100m voters. 2019 elections had a total of 82m voters while only 27m votes were counted. Even with an additional new voters of 11m in 2022 to the voters. 100m wont come out to vote in 2023. Max will be around 50-60m in 2023

So are you saying they should print less than the registered voters? That is grounds for cancellation of the elections.

Ballot must match registered voters. Whether they come or not is irrelevant.

Totilopussylick:
A whole Zambia currency is higher than Nigeria currency

Nigeria's currency is higher than that of South Korea, a country that has Samsung, Hyundai and LG.

The nominal value of the currency is irrelevant in economic analysis.

No wonder Buhari was able to deceive you people.

How are those companies unknown? Also, most of them are offshore companies that have been doing business with Nigeria for years.

He is making an attempt to revise history when he was not there and some of those who saved the country from another possible civil war at that time are still alive.

This is not right at all. He was not there and he should be sensitive to the families of those killed in that coup that led to the murder of our late Head of State, Gen. Murtala Mohammed in cold blood at Ikoyi.

I completely object to this attempt at history revisionism. He is not an authority on this subject at all and should never be quoted.

Murtala Muhammed led people to kill in cold blood. Like many soldiers of his time, he deserved his fate.

Obi local government

Igbo amaka...

Igbos are passionate at what dey do

She is Eggon not Igbo.

The bandwagon mentality these days is disgusting.

Many just went to his twitter feed to insult him without first reading his commentary to know or understand what he said.

How often do you see a race where all finalists hit their personal or season's best at the same time? Even some of the athletes were surprised at their own time.

Akoi grace in the mud

SeaTrade:
Yemi alade refused to travel for a show that's probably going to pay her good money and sell her seemingly dying career more overseas because some expendable band members were refused visa?
I am shocked that you of all people can be this naive.
What's stops her from continuing her trip and hire more band hands in CA and use a few days to rehearse?
Stop this kind play abeg.

It doesn't work that way. There won't be time for rehearsals and the performance would not go well. Yemi Alade's music is highly performance oriented. It's not just a question of getting instrumentalists like say Wizkid would do. Her performance would be off if she uses a crew she has not practiced with

How Peter Obi fans cannot see that they are basically 2022 version of Buharideens is beyond me?

Imagine someone saying Obi didn't lie but only made a false claim.

Peter Obi and his penchant for giving figures that are utterly wrong.

jaxxy:
why didn't they state how much coke was found on her. so we know if she's a dealer or a user.

It is clearly stated there or you dey use free basics?

This will come in useful next year if Emi lokan wins. In the camp, you may have to use firewood though. Just before you fight Boko Haram, you will need to share one cob with your bunkmate.

Rccg started a political affairs division, all of a sudden they are neutral because Osinbajo was embarrassed at the APC primaries.

Ibcrown:
Who get INTEL??

Atiku sold his shares in Intel to BAT.

As election don dey near abi.

That road is terrible.

When rain falls, it's like armagedon

The5DME:
She's probably broke. Can't remember the last time I heard any of her songs on radio, or watched any of her music videos.

Not her.

Her crew members.

She is the most popular female Naija musician on YouTube.

Wrong headline. Artistes normally travel with their crew members. It's not Yemi Alade that was denied visa but her crew members. Faced with the possibility of having to perform a capella there, she had no option than to withdraw.

Nigerians and false patriotism.

You are saying Ukraine is in a war. What do you think Nigeria is in?

WatchYourSix:
It's against fifa rules to present an agent...??
Abeg go and sit down

You obviously don't understand what us going on here so I won't insult you unless you choose to further your stupidity.

In order to get part of the agents fees, Osimhen lied that his in law was his Nigerian agent and then got the money back from the in law.

If it's not against fifa rules, Osimhen should have disclosed to Napoli and the main agent that not only is the said agent his in-law, he is also going to be collecting the fees. Let him do that and you will know if it's against fifa rules or not. He would be fined and suspended.

Someone like you will later go and accuse Nigerian politicians of being corrupt not knowing the many ways you support unethical behaviour.

If Osimhen had done this with a sharp third party, he won't get a single cent back and he would have no legal recourse.

WatchYourSix:
So becos he used his brother inlaw as his agent..his brother inlaw must take all the money.... ?? It's always an opportunity for these players to make more money...many footballers use their family.... why the brother is trying to claim its his money is what indent get....did he do any agent work?? You were givem 13 million just for dropping your account and you being greedy ....if dem.no call you will you be there....he could have called any body
...

He could have called anybody. So why do you think he called the in-law? Because he understands it is an illegal and unethical transaction and he needed to use someone he could trust in order to get the kick back. If he had called someone else, the person could have kept all the money and there is nothing he would have been able to do legally.

Besides, this is not the first time Osimhen has basically duped an agent.

As it is, he is definitely going to face enquiries on the matter.

WatchYourSix:
It's not the same....goverment are not sharing their money...its money of the masses......project/ infrastructure money meant for the nation

This is 100% victors transfer deal....how can u say Victor is not entitled to money involved in his own transfer deal....

.which work did the agent do that he's claiming wages??

He gets a sign on fee.

The intermediary fee is actually not for him and it is against fifa and uefa rules to do what Victor has just done. If it was legal, he would have used himself as the agent.

WatchYourSix:
Was there an agreement between osimhen that the person he present as agent must collect a particular percentage....

Footballers do it....no big deal

It is against Fifa transfer rules.

He has double dipped and gotten a share of intermediary fees which is not allowed.

triplek2000:
mumu you too go school . check the meaning of in-law first .
person wey never marry no get in-law .

Lol, pick up a dictionary please.

People married to your relatives are your inlaws.

You don't need to marry to have inlaws.

TheOgaBoss:
probably be fined, not stopped from playing football.

Actually, he can be banned or suspended if he doesn't pay the full money since the in-law was the agent on record. The in-law can also be fined for acting as an unlicensed intermediary.

It's his own blood sister making the allegations and all he could say was such a trite response?

akinremiayomide:
This one no dey ever comot 12yrs at all

When did you ever hear she was 12?

She was 11 last year. You can do a quick search to confirm instead of confusing her with Regina Daniel.

There was no such rule when Atiku did this.

BAT's people are gasping at straws.

Tinubu is undoubtedly the most corrupt politician in modern Nigerian history and is not in a position to even accuse someone of breaking rules.

Fahdiga:
So you believed the fake news? I thought you are smart.

It's not fake news.

It was in the Pandora files.

Go and verify.

So he made a pager?

That's not an invention

Fahdiga:
Peter Obi is the only candidate that has no skeleton in his cupboard. Nigerians loves and will overwhelmingly vote for him.

Is that why he illegally opened offshore accounts and offshore entities in the name of his daughter?
