oladahunsi: I got a job with a school recently and I did a month training by the school based on the job. I wasn't paid salary, please is there a polite way of asking for the salary?
In the course of the training you should have asked if you would be paid or not. For now tactfully ask the Head about it.Good Lucky!
delzbaba: A farmer has expressed shock and surprise at the odd looking yam he harvested on his farm in a tiny village in the southwestern state of Ekiti earlier this week.
The odd looking yam which could be described as something from a horror movie looked more like the left hand of a giant of some sort, while some people were rebuking and forbidding the odd shape, some elders in the village stated that it could be linked to the practice of some settler farmers who allegedly use water from the mortuary used in bathing dead bodies to water their plants for bigger yeild, what do you think.
. Stop magnifying trivialities and trivializing magnitudes. This is just a case of coincidence!

Wannabenz: I married a virgin(21yrs) sex use to hurt her at the initial stage but she's getting comfortable as days go by...so we normally do one or twice a day and it's good so I'm not complaining.
Recently I noticed that after every sex, she'll fall asleep faster...as in deep sleep. I also noticed that most times that she wants to sleep, she'll initiate sex maybe for her to feel better and sleep.
I'm hoping it's not a medical issue.
It is not a medical issue. You can Google it too. Search why do people sleep after sex.Men and ladies can sleep after sex. Sex is like work that involves your whole system. If it done especially early night it enhances deep sleep for many people. So yiur wife is as good as perfect on that .Please keep on enjoying each other sexually!
Mummyfour: Students from far and near went to their different jamb exam centers to write the mock exams today.
The exam was supposed to be in two batches. There was a batch A that was slated for7 am and candidates were expected to have been seated by 6:30 am, then there was the 9 am batch and the candidates were also expected to have been in their centers by 8:30 am. I actually took my daughter to the CBT professional test centre at bwari FCT not few metres away from the JAMB head office here In Abuja, that was her center. It was an annoying situation when even as at 12:30 pm the candidates that were billed for the 7am exams had not started.
Parents that were waiting for their children became apprehensive and couldn't just understand what the delay was about. Most of the children had not eaten and some parents had actually done drop off with the mind of coming later for their ward.
Most of the children that had been dropped off, had no money, phones or even food because they felt they could endure whatever hunger until after the exams.
At about 12:40pm, 3 coaster buses drove into the centre and the staff and security personnel at the centre began to direct some of the children to get on the buses. In the process, some parents raised alarm and began to shout even as they wondered at the rationale behind such action. At a point some of the children that had seen parents yelling at them to get off the buses, quickly did.
Meanwhile before then, no body not a even staff came out to address the waiting parents as to what was really going on, and when parents asked them, all they were told was that network was slow thereby affecting "thumb printing", for 6 hours?
It was at the point when parents were yelling at the gate that the Registrar of Jamb drove in with 3 Hilux trucks of security men armed to the teeth.
He grudgingly stepped out to address the parents because they compelled him to. Before then, parents had begun to look for snacks and drinks for their children who had started complaining of hunger. They kept on coming to the gate to talk and complain to their parents, because they were not in the exam hall, but under a makeshift tent. Some were even feeling sleepy and tired after staying up late to read at night.
The Registrar with every sense of pomposity told us that we were breaking the law because we came close to the gate to give our hungry children food and drinks. It's not as if they made any provisions for the children o.
We were even expecting him as a father to sympathize with the children and beg them for understanding being their fault that their systems were not working.
When he said that, all hell let loose. Parents began to scream at him out of anger, because we were expecting some kind of explanation or even apologies. Instead he told us that we should not have come close to the gate.
I asked him how we would have been able to pass on the food items to our children, and that if they had done the right thing, there would not have been any reason for parents to come close to the gate. At that question, he began to ramble and tell us stories of network failure and all those annoying lies.
He subsequently told us that the second batch were to get on the buses and go and write the exam in jamb office.
A parent asked how the children will come back to the original center they were posted and he swore that the buses will bring them back
To cut the story short, the exams actually started at 3:45pm and ended at 5:30pm.
And the shocker we received was that those children that were taken to the jamb office had to trek all the way back to their former center, except for those that their parents took them their with either bikes or vehicles.
I don't know when we will get it right in this country. Ordinary mock jamb in FCT.. So how would it be in other states and local government areas?.
It keeps getting worse every year. And those children came out of the center broken, dissolutioned, and frustrated. You could see the children that were all fired up in the morning, and ready to do justice to the Mock exam, coming out very cold and troubled.
I have said it, let us go back to the days of shading with HB pencil abeg It's not worth it. We can't seem to get any thing right in this country. Ordinary computer based test?
However I noticed some discrepancies in the result for Rivers State and decided to probe further. Again I used simple random sampling and multistage sampling to ensure that every polling unit had equal chance of being selected. I used a sample size of 198. I got the sample size using the formula:
Sample Size = S/(1+S/N) Where S = z2*p*(1-p)/e2
And where z is the z-score which is 1.96 for a 95% confidence level p is the population proportion of those who voted in Rivers State which is 15.6% e is the margin of error which we take as 5% N is the population size (total number of polling units in Rivers State) which is 6866.
The result is mind boggling.
RESULT So after collating the results sheets from randomly selected 198 polling units, APC got a total of 4637 votes, LP got 8129 votes, NNPP got 47 votes and PDP got 3578 votes. So LP (and not APC as we were meant to believe) got the majority of votes followed by APC, then PDP and finally NNPP. Infact LP got more than 50% of the vote such that if you combine APC and PDP votes its still less than LP’s votes. This corroborates Peter Obi claim that he got 50% of the votes in Rivers State.
This means LP won more than 12 States (13 States or perhaps more) and APC won less than 12 States (11 States or perhaps less). With this result, I begin to wonder if there are other States with this kind of glaring discrepancies.
Caveat: Whether the results from IREV is authentic or not is a matter for another discuss. My focus was just to use the results I saw on the IREV Portal.
. Appeal Court in Abuja n 2023 ruled that IREV data are secondary so they hold no water in proving cases of election.Oyetola vrs Adeleke 2023. It may interest all of us that IREV data are the premises on which many electoral petitions are based now. Can we see why AC has while trying to solve one problems created another thousands.? Will the judgement pass the litmus test at the SC? Time will tell. Each time I read elections and see IREV I quickly remember AC judgement saga on it.
Zonefree: He should use his powers to disappear and land inside the bank's vault and collect his money. If he fails to, he should be arrested and detained for constituting public nuisance.
. He just creating an undeserved attention for himself. A confused and frustrated man!
It is longer new that the Appeal Court aiiting in Abuja set aside the January 27 judgement that declared Oyetola the winner of the state 2022 election. The three man panel led by Justice Saibu reinstated Gov Adeleke as the winner of the election. The judgement has raised some dust in the judiciary even among the Osun indigenes. The judgement for now is sacrosanct and can only be tested at the SC where another seven man will evaluate the Tribunal anfy the AC judgement. I have asked some of my people online on legal provisions guidind elections in Nigeria now vis a vis revised electoral laws in the face of the AC judgement. When perusing the electoral laws,I have found the following for our discussion and considetion: Sections 47, 51 and 64 of the Electoral Act 2022.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Section 47 (2) of the Electoral Act 2022 stipulates that ‘To vote, the presiding officer shall use a smart card reader or any other technological device that may be prescribed by the Commission, for the accreditation of voters, to verify, confirm or authenticate the particulars of the intending voter in the manner prescribed by the Commission.’ And in the case of Osun Governorship Election, BVAS was deployed.
“Section 51 (2) of the Act further stipulates that ‘where the number of votes cast at an election in any polling unit exceeds the number of accredited voters in that polling unit, the presiding officer shall cancel the result of the election in that polling unit. ‘
“And in resolving dispute as to election results, Section 64 (6) outlines the steps to be taken, including obtaining ‘data of accreditation recorded and transmitted directly from each
polling unit where the election is disputed as prescribed under section 47(2) of this Act ; and (d) the votes and result of the election recorded and transmitted directly from each polling unit where the election is disputed, as prescribed under section 60 (4) of this Act.’ All these were the materials pleaded before the Tribunal and were transmitted to the Appeal Court. But the learned Justices said the voters should be added .
Again, look at the issue of data from INEC’s back-end server. Ahead of the 2023 Governorship and State House of Assembly elections, INEC in its affidavit to the Court of Appeal, which was granted, says the accreditation data contained in the BVAS could not be tampered with or lost, as they would be stored and easily retrieved from its accredited back-end server. Yet, last Friday’s judgement stated clearly that nobody can rely on accreditation data from the same INEC back-end server. Obi and Atiku rely on BVAS back end data which cannot be manipulated unlike Voters register as the basis of their petitions. The questions are : 1 Can the AC judgement survive the test at the SC? 2 What will be the hope of all those in APC PDP and LP who have filed petitions on our various last elections on the basis of BVAS back end report? What are your opinions. I wish all of us a happy discussion!
N3TRAL: There's no contention here. Even Atiku's and Obi's lead counsels know they have no case.
If we no ginger clients to file cases in court, how litigation lawyers go take chop?

ebukajay184: 5 Men Burnt To Death For Allegedly Trying To Steal Tricycle In Onitsha (Graphic Photos)
Five men were burnt to death after they allegedly attempted to snatch a tricycle operator of his tricycle in Onitsha, Anambra State, IGBERETV reports.
The incident occurred at old Nkpor road, close to the headquarters of People’s Club, in the commercial city of Onitsha on Saturday, March 25, 2023.
An eyewitness said that the suspects allegedly tried to steal a tricycle from the owner in broad daylight when they ran out of luck and were caught.
“Mob who gathered after the men were rounded up, refused the advice of some people to call in the police. They first started by striping the men naked and beating them up, and eventually, some people brought old tyres and fuel, and they were set ablaze. It was a very bad sight today, and everyone watched and supervised, while the men burnt to death,” he said.
Emenike Obinna shared a graphic video from the scene with the caption;
Painful deaths! This is becoming in our society because of the conception that if they are handed over to the police they will be released on bail to their "promoter" .This is agonising!
Tha African footballer of the Year Africa never produced. Kanu was an Attacking mildfer.Okovha was a midfielder.Kanu could score more than Okocha...Both Papilo and Jay Jay complemented each other.
I have this issue I'm dealing with which seems to be taking ages now.
There are these stubborn black spots in my face which refuse to go after using different antibacterial creams yet the spots are still much visible, will have to wait till dark before I go out.
Help! , its really killing me slowly as well as demoralized me. Even my confidence is no more there as I typed this.
jesusjnr2020: Who Appointed Satan The Ruler Of This World?
This is in continuation of a thread I made last week, where I said not all leaders were appointed by God and proved it with scriptures, especially the teaching of Christ. Yet there were some here, including Christians, who strongly disagreed with that position and were arguing because they believed all leaders were appointed by God.
Hence this is to illustrate how erroneous that idea of theirs is, because if they indeed believe God appointed every leader, that means they also believe that Satan was appointed by God as leader of this world, because they can't possibly believe that all leaders were appointed by God but at the same time not believe that God was the One that also appointed Satan to rule the world He made in the beginning.
Then imagine teaching believers to consequently subject themselves to Satan's authority, because all leaders were appointed by God... wouldn't that sound as heretic and antichrist as they could possibly come?
That's how glaringly false and ridiculous the idea that all leaders were appointed by God is, because the God who created the earth and everything in it had never on any occasion appointed Satan to rule over everything He made in the beginning.
It was never God's plan A or plan B up to plan Z for Satan to become the ruler of this world.
The only person God intended to have dominion and to rule over this world was the man He made in His own image.
That was the plan of God before He made man.
Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
[And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
That was actually the concept of God making man, to rule over His creation, so after God had made man (male and female), He officially appointed man the leader of the Earth and hence gave them charge, authority and dominion over everything He made in the beginning, to actualise His plan for making man.
Genesis 1:28 (KJV)
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Therefore it was man that God appointed the ruler of the world He'd made and gave authority over it, never the devil.
God bless.
Read 1John 5 :19 Satan is called the ruler of this world. Satan even showed Jesus the the world and asked him to worship him so that he could give Jesus.Do yiu give what you don't have to a person? On another occasion Jesus said the ruler of this world ,Satan, is here and he has no hold on me. Who gave him the power ? It all Satan in the GARDEN OF Eden till the time of Noah . Additionally Rev12 from verse 1 shows Satan and his demons are now controlling the world.
BluntNigerian: In a recent Blog Post by Mark Essien (an ICT Expert), he explained (in details) the whole experiences he had while he was doing the IREV Collation.
One of the things he wrote in the article suggested that Peter Obi’s team of lawyers made good use of his collated results..
. Appeal Court in a case of Oyetola and Adeleke 2023 declared IREV back end server report is a secondary data and cannot be used to prove overvoting.The same thing is being used by Obi now. Let use see the opinion of SC on the matter. In my opinion IREV data is more reliable than primary data that must have been manipulated at the poling units.Thus the introduction of the BVAS in our elections.
Samdolly: This is it, let me use this analogy. If you are yo prove overvoting reliance should be more on the voters register and the bvas machine that was used for accreditation, the server report though useful is a secondary source.
So if you can't prove your case to the satisfaction of the court, it doesn't matter if the respondents are negligent or weak or what they present or not in as much you can't prove your case with the necessary evidence stipulated by law. The onus to prove is on the petitioner I.e Oyetola in this case
. Ok appreciated! I appreciate your opinion and analysis too. The next stage is SC now! Let await their conclusion on it too. You enduring patience in analysis is remarkable. Kudos to you!
fergie001: The Appeal Court did not place Voters Register above the BVAS, the Court only said it is essential. As long the accreditation process follows both and they are both in our different laws, it is only okay that both go through same process.
It is not just the Court of Appeal saying, it is in our laws in the Evidence Act 2011.
In law, the Primary evidence is of supreme value (it is the best evidence). 1st report - server report given to Oyetola in July (unsynchronised) 2nd report - server report given to Adeleke (unsynchronised) 3rd report - BVAS Machines physically tendered before the Court with all the data in it (PRIMARY DATA) 4th report - Final Synchronisation gotten from (3) above.
The SC will not say otherwise, like I said in the morning as long as server reports are subject to human and network issue, it's a problem... See SC in Wike v Peterside
Again, on what premise did the tribunal ignore the other three reports.
Primary Data.
The BVAS machines were physically tendered before the tribunal and reports accurately submitted by INEC (i.e. 4th report). Oyetola's lawyers didn't challenge it in their final written address.
Whatever data is on the BVAS machine is the primary data, anything that comes out of it, backend server or so is secondary.
There ordinarily shouldn't be, this is what the EC8A (Statement), Voters Register & BVAs is expected to fish out.
Hear Oyetola's expert witness:
Isiaka Olanrewaju testified that he is an expert, who had operated several electronic devices, including BVAS, before, and was aware that an electoral officer might fail to submit the data imputed into the machine or that if the network was bad, the data submitted would not be successful.
Has he not supported the INEC staff's position? Did this witness bolster Oyetola's case?
An expert should be able to furnish the court with scientific analysis that will allow the Court to form its independent judgement otherwise it is valueless and worthless. (SC in Ogiale v. SPDC, 1997)
The Court of Appeal restored the supremacy of the BVAS that's why it based its judgement on a completed and synchronised Report.
SC in Okereke v Umahi (2016) by Justice Chima C Nweze JSC [u]Furthermore, PW8 an official of INEC who testified on subpoena on the application of the appellant admitted that Exhibit GP45 (the Card Reader Report) was an incomplete document, as data from some polling units had not been uploaded to the INEC data base as at the time the report was made. The document was therefore unreliable and lacking in any evidential value. Again the Tribunal rightly rejected the report and the Court below was right to have affirmed the rejection. On these findings alone, the petition was bound to fail.
It was for these and the more elaborate reasons well marshalled in the lead judgment that I dismissed this appeal and affirmed the decision of the Court below. (This was in 2016)
In this case, the INEC still testified that it was an incomplete document that was handed over to Oyetola, any difference? The same Justice Nweze will be on the panel, so do you think it will make any difference?
It is improper for a court of law to enter judgment for a party on incomplete and inconclusive facts or evidence. A party ought to place all relevant facts before the court to assist it to arrive at a fair and reasonable conclusion (Justice Okoro in Adim v NBC)
. Good and appreciated . 1st report - server report given to Oyetola in July (unsynchronised) 2nd report - server report given to Adeleke (unsynchronised) 3rd report - BVAS Machines physically tendered before the Court with all the data in it (PRIMARY DATA) 4th report - Final Synchronisation gotten from (3) above. Who used the priamry data in his defence? Adeleke or Anababa? In the presentation of Anababa ,he himself agreed that there are errors in the report he had .In fact he claimed it was 1000. As for Adeleke statistician he agreed that what he had had errors.Under cross examination it was oroved that it contained many errors supporting overvoting. What is the reconciliation? Unschhronised report was used to declare Adeleke .Same was used to challenge and prove overrvoting. Even the so call synchronised reports generated after had discrepancies. Additionally.reports from BVAS sent to INEC server were first generated and sent to the Server through the BVAS. So another ones computed by INEC generated from the results sent online will replace the first ones. Finally I still believe there are irregularities in the judgemen and the SC will determine the way forward. However it must be stated that BVAS is designed for accreditation and to check the excesses that accompany manual one., Results sent online with accreditation reports are weighty too since it formed the basis of the Adeleke's declaration.
Samdolly: Well I have not read the full judgement but the court didn't invalidate BVAS. The court said that evidence from the Bvas machine itself is primary evidence. This is quite different from reports produced from inec back end server which is secondary evidence.
The thing is in a tribunal, the petitioner must prove his case and the judges can't use the weakness of the respondent as bases for their Judgement.
So this is it, you can't prove over voting with a secondary evidence while neglecting Bvas Machine which is the primary source of evidence.
Moreover the voters register is also a primary source of evidence, so to prove overvoting you should have relied on the Bvas machine itself and the voters register. Not the report from Inec server which is usually updated or synchronised
. Thank you.But did the INEC produce any primary source from the BVAS machines to any of the parties involved in the case? Did INEC lawyer Anababa have a copy of primary data? How do you access the priamry data? PDP only opened one or two machines before the Tribunal ? Is that the primary data? The postion of electoral laws is clear on accreditation through BVAS. There can be manipulation of voters register as witnessed in the past but BVAS will show the real accreditation inputs .No wonder the marriage between BVAS and accreditation is lifelong as described in the Electoral law In my opinion AC has cooked a food it cannot finish. Adeleke was declared winner based on the inputs put into the BVAS. Oyetola accessed the input to prove overrvoting as accessed and produced by INEC ..Which data can we get from just opening the machines twice before the TB as demonstrated by PDP? SC will look into the anomaly.
fergie001: This judgement is sound and I do not think it will be overturned.
. My concern iin the judgement are:. 1 Emphasis is placed on the voters' register at the expense of BVAS acredutation even when it is stated in the electoral laws that BVAS is sacrosanct. That is the Appeal Court interpretation. Supreme Court will decide.2. The Appeal Court is of the opinion that primary data from the BVAS is better than the secondary data..The questions are: 1 Among the four BVAS reports given to all parties in the case which was primary data? 2 On what basis was Adeleke declared as winner?Primary data or secondary data? Was there any demonstration of primary data at the TB apart from opening one or two there and that was all? That is the interpretation of the AC. The SC will evaluate it soundness.3 . While people talk about uploading of results at the poling units, are the results uploaded primary source or secondary source? Must there be differences in the results and accreditation generated from BVAS, primary source or secondary ? The AC judgement is respected but I hope strongly that the sanctity of BVAS will be restored at the SC and a better interpretation of thorny issues will be given.
press9jatv: exactly barrister fergie001. You are very right all this while
The judgement of AC is sacrosanct. As their lordship pleases.Let await the final pronouncement on this matter at the SC in May.. Then all the extant judgements will be be reevaluated!
helinues: A good manager won't allow one nonentity to be costing them.
Arise Tv missed so many live coverages during the campaign because of unprofessional journalist Rufai Oseni.
The new government might decide not to patronize Arise Tv they can even deny them of some important live coverage
Rufai Oseni should make research about his current supporters. Where are those who they supported in the past?
. Yiu are right in your conclusion. The truth is All of them including the manager Charles from Delta are supporters of Obi. My concern is in journalism there are various ways of asking questions. 1. Many People in Nigeria believe your party failed ....2 Yiur party failed.....Which is acceptable in journalism? No 1 . The day iread all their profile and I found out they did not study journalism I decided to look at them as quaks in journalism. However because of the romance Abati had with the PDP in Jonathon era ,he appears to be better and more refined than Oseni.Indeed Arise TV is sad for all their hopes are dashed .May their cries and sandness over BAT victory last forever!
The subject of contention is that on his EC9 form for the 2022 election: he appended in his own handwriting; Ede Muslim Grammar School, Ede
The affidavit for the 2018 & 2022 election issued by the school reads: Ede Muslim High School.
This affidavit was issued on May 22, 2016 and was exactly same as in 2018. The only difference is that he has higher qualifications now but did not change the Ede Muslim Grammar School he appended in 2018 & 2022.
This is the reason I boldened these lines:
To prove false information in a document requires more than pointing out errors or mistakes or incongruities or discrepancies in the document or asserting that the document is forged on account of the errors without more.”
Forgery is a criminal offence and must be proven beyond any reasonable doubts. How can you say he forged when the Principal admitted the errors and even WAEC certified.
garfield1, senatordave1 can help with Agi v. PDP or APC v. Obaseki. It is contradictory to say he forged then say he is qualified. Once forgery is established, he stands no other chance.
Even in situations where a Governorship candidate makes inconsistent statements in Form CF001/now Form EC9 and such candidate is nonetheless qualified to contest the election under the provision of Section 177 of the 1999 Constitution, he would not be disqualified to contest the election.” (SC per Clara Bata Ogunbiyi JSC in Agi v. PDP)
No, in seeking a declaratory relief the onus lies on the petitioners to argue on the strengths of their case and not on the weaknesses of the defendants.
It is interesting that File D (Adeleke's 2018 docs) was admitted by Fagbeml to be a primary evidence whilst not admitting that the BVAS machine is a primary evidence, that's lawyer-like.
The Principal & even WAEC were called up in that Appeal Court judgement that the Justices refused to entertain.
FORGERY AND QUALIFICATION CANNOT GO TOGETHER.
I am not trying to link both cases, but let me ask you, are you aware that as we speak INEC have not finished uploading results of the Presidential election conducted how many weeks now? You can go to the IReV and confirm!
The BVAS is in the spotlight now.
As long as uploading, transmission or whatever to the backend is prone to human and network error, it becomes an issue.
Now, there are 4 reports. 1. The one issued to Oyetola 10 days after the election (INEC said it was unsynchronised)
2. The one issued to Adeleke the following month.
3. Physical inspection of the BVAS machines, and front-loaded reports.
4. INEC own finished or synchronized report which somewhat tallied with 3.
Using abductive reasoning, which will you go for? The reports front-loaded to the backend or the Primary evidence of the BVAS machine?
Why did INEC challenge the judgement (BVAS) at Obi's request be vacated so as to allow for the Governorship Election?
Samuel Oduntan, Adeleke's forensic expert said there was over-voting in 6 PUs. What was the discrepancy? He mentioned the Wards, majority of which were in Ede.
Justice Shuaibu asked Fagbemi, did you challenge the report of the forensic expert? He said NO.
You failed to remind us that the Presiding Justice, Shuaibu also asked Fagbemi if a Judge should not read up judicial notices and report but rather dwell on law reports issued by the appellants.
Simple, the tribunal judges refused to admit the Court of Appeal judgement because according to them, the law reports submitted by the defence lawyers was not marked original or certified, that's why that question was asked Fagbeml...
To the signature issue of "I agree", we will wait and see. From the disposition of the PJ, I think it will be ignored most especially as it doesn't involve higher Courts.
This is my humble submission....
. You cannot imagine how happy I am with your submission! Thank you ! I want to ask : What is the basis of Adeleke declaration as the governor? APC BVAS report or the ones generated after? If it was unschhronised report which do you think Oyetola would use to challenge and prove overvoting? Adeleke s statistician cliamed there were 6 discrepancies but APC gave him more instances in the report he was analysing. INEC lawyer at the Tribunal Prof Anababa agreed that there were discrepancies in over 1000 poling units.All these were contained in the majority Tribunal judgement. Can we not agree with the conclusion of the majority judgement that " even the afterthought "Schronised " reports did not even agree with one another as they contained errors in support of overvoting. Additionally, Fagbemi cross-examined the staticician and he proved. overvoting .This also is contained in the majority judgement. Page25 . As for the presidential election, the INEC never said results were sent immidiately after voting.So the Body can continue to upload the results till 2026.As for Osun election, results were declared by INEC and forwarded to the INEC server immidiately Same results used to declare Adeleke were acessed by Oyetola. Whose faults? In my opinion it is INEC who generated four reports for same election which contradict one another . Can we now blame the brains behind the majority Judgement for using the report used to declare Adeleke as winner which Oyetola used to prove overvoting?
Felabrity: To forestall any loopholes in the judiciary ahead of the 2023 presidential election especially if it lands in the courts, loyalists of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu have began subterranean moves to remove the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Tanko Muhammad.
Pointblanknews.com authoritatively gathered that the strategists are relying on the playbook that saw to the removal of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, in a bid to re-enact similar script.
Incontrovertible sources revealed that the recent leaked letter by 14 Justices of the Supreme court to the CJN is a step in that direction.
The source further stated that this move was also geared towards paving way for Justice Olukayode Ariwoola who is the next in line in the event of Justice Muhammad’s exit as the CJN.
“Series of events will lead to his (CJN’s) removal according to their plan. Like in te case of Justice Walter Onnoghen, an issue which doesn’t seem to have serious consequences, will eventually snowball into his removal.
“This Will pave way for the CJN’s replacement with the next in line, Justice Ariwoola who they (Tinubu’s strategists) feel comfortable with should the 2023 presidential election go another way which is not favourable to them.
“That way, they don’t begin to scramble for who will judge the case in their favour. So the move to oust the current CJN should start now” the source explained.
Pointblanknews.com recalls that in a leaked petition, 14 justices of the apex court accused the CJN of abandoning his responsibilities and diverting funds meant for the running of the Supreme Court.
Among the issues raised by the justices are accommodation, vehicles, electricity tariff, supply of diesel, internet services to justices’ residences, training for justices and epileptic electricity supply to the court.
They accused the CJN of receiving their demands without acting “after several persistent requests” to hold a meeting which was finally held on March 31, where a welfare committee was set up.
fergie001: I believe this forgery issue is wrt to an error on school testimonial which bear Osun instead of Oyo state. It also has to do with the name of the school.
For the principle of forgery to be established: the person alleging forgery must prove the following:
-the existence of a document in writing. -that the document or writing was forged -that the forgery was by the person accused -that the party who made it knew the document in writing was false -the party alleged intended for the forged document to be acted upon as genuine. (SC in Kashim Imam v Ali Modu Sherriff)
Now hear the Appeal Court Judgement in 2019:
“In any case as the Principal of the School and the custodian of the school records, he is in the best position to say that the school leaving testimonial which he identified as issued from his school has errors in it or not. If he says so, as he has done, that there are lots of errors on its face, he must be believed and Exhibit PL6 (AA2) the statement of result, his affidavit, the WAEC confirming affidavit and the accompanying Ledger (Details of results) show that it is reasonable to believe him. Errors or mistakes in the contents of a document cannot be treated as false information as the 1st and 2nd respondents characterised the errors in the testimonial in paragraph 16 of their affidavit in support of the originating summons. To prove false information in a document requires more than pointing out errors or mistakes or incongruities or discrepancies in the document or asserting that the document is forged on account of the errors without more.”
“Be that as it is, such errors are of no moment because Exhibit PL6 and the West African Examination Council (WAEC) confirming affidavit and Ledger show that he satisfied the requirements of Section 177(d) of the 1999 Constitution and is therefore qualified to contest the election of Governor of Osun State. As held by the Supreme Court in AGI v. PDP (2017) 17 NWLR (Pt. 1585) 386 at 454 – 455 “Even in situations where a Governorship candidate makes inconsistent statements in Form CF001 and such candidate is nonetheless qualified to contest the election under the provision of Section 177 of the 1999 Constitution, he would not be disqualified to contest the election.” The appellant gave the statement of result PL6 to the 4th respondent to show he sat for the West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE) in May/June, 1981 in Ede Muslim High School Ede. There was no need for the argument that he can only be issued certificate if he passed certain subjects. He submitted the statement of result to show that he attended secondary school and wrote the secondary school certificate examination.” (Agim JCA as he then was)

For the BVAS, it will be interesting, because it will serve as a plank for the litigation by Obi & Atiku.
. Your opinion is respected. However in 2018 qualification was the issue not forgery. In 2022 it is forgery not qualification. It may interest all of us that Ede testimonials he used in 2018 is different from what he used in 2022. The onus lies on the defendant to prove the allegation against him. by calling the man or woman or institution that issued the document. Additionally the constitution recognised "why the document" was forged.Both majority and minority judgement established forgery. So what is the judgement on forgery? On BVAS ,INEC used it on Osun election and results were uploaded to the back end server IRV.In 2023 INEC used BVAS for accreditation but for the technical reasons the body did not transfer the results to it server at the poling booth.The only difference is transmission..So both cases in my opinion are not the same. My question are will AC reject the BVAS report used to declare Adeleke as winner which Oyetola used to prove overvoting? What will be the standing of the AC on BVAS reports given to PDP ,INEC laywer and Adeleke statistician which all of them contain discrepancies and overvoting? They all even agreed to overvoting in them? Unshronised reports have overvoting .Schronised reports have overvoting..Will the AC not apply abductive reasoning by accepting only the " unshronised" report used to declare Adeleke as the winner which Oyetola used against him.? On technicality of second judge who only signed the judgement, Justice Shaibu asked Ikpeasu SAN if he understood the significance of "we" used in the majority judgement and the relevance of the name and signature of the second judge. Ikpeasu only answered by saying it should not be so. Until I am proved otherwise the judgement today will favour Oyetola!I submitt
This morning, Ayo Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, appeared on Arise TV and engaged in a heated discussion with Oseni Rufai.
Rufai had questioned Fayose's attempt to justify the illegality that occurred during the last election by referencing a recording of Fayose allegedly planning to rig an election in 2014. Fayose became angry and retaliated by bringing up Rufai's bus case with the police.
When Rufai tried to clarify the situation with the police, Fayose accused him of being partisan and claimed to have warned Rufai's colleague, Ruben Abbati, to caution him against getting personal.
Despite the tense atmosphere, the interview continued, with Fayose defending Ahmed Tinubu's mandate and boasting that he led the people of Ekiti to give him their votes.
When Rufai attempted to explain that he was only doing his job and was not partisan, Fayose became agitated once again, and it was only through the intervention of Ruben Abbati that he was calmed down.
. ARISE is the worst TV station in Nigeria with assembly of dregs of journalism it has for its programs. I watch TVC ,Channels AIT etc they all know how to cordinate programs even if they have the parties they are supporting. However the day I found out most of them are road side journalists without training in journalism I began to look at them and their mediocrity. Thank you Fayose for silencing them! I know the station is in pain and its pains and those of their journalists will last forever!
. The issue settled and decided upon by the supreme court is qualification not forgery.The TB ruled on forgery not on qualifications... Additionally we will see how what was used to declare Adeleke as winner and used to prove overvoting by APC as TB declared will now be upturned by the AC.Logically impossible!
