DeOTR:
There's no where in the constitution that states a candidate must win the FCT to be declared the winner, no?
Section 299 or is it 290 already instructs us to treat FCT as though it's a state in the federal in constitutional matters.
Sticking to allegations of rigging would have been the best best for Obi, banking on an ambiguous section of the constitution.
They'll use the ambiguity to knock your case out. The Constitution in stipulating the requirements for election as Nigerian president states in Section 134(2) that a candidate must (a) have the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja. Clearly, it appears that the Constitution creates two hurdles that ought to be crossed by a candidate before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) can return him or her as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.There you have it, you can rest now and stop the noise. |

There's no parallel between your comparisons.
It would make sense if English was not really considered to be a subject in the same way FCT is not like the regular State of the federation.
English is a subject, just like every other subjects. Saying 5 credit passes in 5 subjects and English language would mean a pass in English language is required.
However, FCT doesn't have the same similarities with other states of the federation in terms of administration and other things. There's no state attached to the name FCT name, so it makes sense to say 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states and the FCT. Section 299 would go ahead to say the FCT should be treated as if it's a state of the federation in constitutional matters. Going by your assertion, Since FCT is not a state which is rightfully so because it doesn't have a Governor neither does it have representatives in the Senate and House of Representative which makes it DISTINCT and DISTINGUISHED hence the stated 2/3 of all states AND fct. The AND clearly represent an addition to the 2/3 require to win which the APC didn't meet up to. The APC didn't win the FCT (Mandatory English Language) which means they cannot be declared winner. Period. |

We Edolites and other tribes have seen so much tribal wars between Yorubas and igbos, and we so therefore urge the igbos and the yorubas to fix a date and fight this war, we wan check something. I can bet my balls that the igbos will trash and Rubbish the yorubas, as the Yorubas have always known for chest beating and thereby lack balls to fight. Give it up for hausas and igbos! These are the only tribes we Edolites respectful so much in this country. Yorubas should follow suit and declare a war against the igbos, and not merely chest beating online like the modafucker above me. No modafucker should quote me! Edolite wey no sabi the history of him tribe  You better ask your parents the history of the Edolites and the Yorubas, dem suppose teach you for school na, better still Goggle it |

The man must be rolling on the floor in his chamber right now. Laughing so hard at the med!ocre petition filed by Labour party.
If you know wole Olanipekun so well, you will know the court will be done within hours barring any ceremonial adjournment just to make the sitting look atleast a little bit solid.
Chief Olanipekun, SAN, OFR, CFR that made A!T of partisan Raymond Dopkes! ' crawled on the floor and begged for their life' claiming it was the 'dev!L's work' when Tinubu through Wole Olanipekun slammed a 150Billion naira lawsuit against them for defamation in 2016 on this same 'druglord propaganda'.
When was the last time you saw A!T, a pro-PDP media house ran any anti-Tinubu campaign on their station during this electioneering period? They were quiet all through the campaign period, unlike before; Olanipekun put them in their place.
I wont be surprise if after this case is done and dusted, Tinubu will also drag Labour party to court for CHARACTER ASSASINATION & DEFAMATION . ( Dem go slam 300billion lawsuit against Labour party, and you obidients will just wail and cry about it for nothing. And i hope you dont cry: 'government suppression & oppression' then.)
Ar!seTV too should be prepared, let the dust settle first. E go reach everybody, dem go learn by force. Will Wole Olanipekun go to court to rewrite the clearly defined constitution? For you to pass WAEC, you must pass 5 subjects, and English language.
For you to win Presidential Election, you must have 25% in 24 states, and FCT.
They say that FCT is a state, is English not a subject??
If you get 8 A's in WAEC and fail English, you failed.
English language is to WAEC what FCT is to Presidential Election, una go dey alright Las Las grin
The key phrase, "And the FCT"
If FCT is a state, why would they have to add the conjunction, and?
They gave it an exclusivity, hence the ANDUrchins are not intelligent enough to understand the above that why you see early jubilation in their camp of ignoramus. He who cries last cries the best Premium tears loading for urchins |

| Politics › Re: Atiku Abubakar Files Petition To Challenge Tinubu's Electoral Victory by Electorate: 12:43pm On Mar 22, 2023 |
akingangan:
Tinubu the master strategist will now get in the mud with Atiku and Peter Obi.
Watch as Peter Obi's scam of investing government money in personal business is officially dealt with.
Watch as Atiku's appropriating Nigeria's assets is brought forward.
Tinubu was just an accountant
World leaders that admitted to use of drugs include Obama, Bush, Boris Johnson and many more
Tinubu is such a genius.
He could have given countless responses when the hateful campaign of Peter Obi kept using the drug case to campaign and discredit Tinubu.
He literally gave them the silent treatment such as is advised when a court case is going on to avoid self-implicating.
Defense
1. He was not convicted
2. He was not found to deal drugs, he was an accountant that was likely paid with drug money from a client
3. You cannot stand trial for the same offense in two courts in different countries.
4. Out of Jurisdiction - If a crime was committed it was not in Nigeria and no court had prosecuted him for that in Nigeria
Now
Tinubu himself said he was a security doorman in Chicago while he was a student at Chicago State University.
It is very likely that he had acquaintances that would have used his service. This was Chicago in the 70s and 80s!
Redemption
After that, he worked as Accountant at Deloitte the number one accounting firm in the world,
He has been a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
He has been Governor of Lagos state
He has been Freedom Fighter who fought the military to bring democracy to Nigeria
Tinubu's house was blown up by the military and that is the reason he does not have old pictures.
He was penniless at some point and granted asylum to the UK with a Visa on a piece of paper(Not a Passport)
For Peter Obi to have added the drug case to the presidential petition is just spiteful.
Peter Obi has cases to answer about
1. The people that were killed in his state whose bodies were dumped in Ezu River while he was governor which led to Endsars (Ironically Endsars supporters were brainwashed to become his supporter as obidient movement)
2. The money he took from Anambra and invested in his private business making beer
3. The Pandora paper which shows his tax evasion as a sitting governor hiding money in Panama All this your beer pallor analysis when you ain't a lawyer, you think lawyers are daft? You forgot to add Watch how all Tinubu's deeds will finally be exposed, that will be the uppercut after this petition. The proof of his conviction and forfieture of drug money alone knocks him off and makes him ineligible to run for Office of President. The proof is everywhere even his lawyers cannot defend that. You can continue to type long epistle to defend Tinubu online (you are working for your pay) but sadly he cannot win in court with this very strong case. TINUBU CAN NEVER BE NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT, THE LAW FORBID HIM EVEN BEFORE THE ELECTION, THE GODS ALLOWED HIM TO WASTE THE MONEY HE STOLE FOR THE ELECTION. |

| Politics › Re: U.S. To Place Visa Restrictions On Individuals Who Undermined Nigeria's Election by Electorate: 9:30pm On Mar 21, 2023 |
theforemost:
The Yoruba Nation hasn't been paying attention and I think it's our one weakness as a people.
We need to be very thankful to Olódùmarè for his mercies and to our ancestors who didn't break faith with us as we foolishly did with them.
It is too bad.
We proudly [ FOOLISHLY ] call ourselves liberals and we are ready to accommodate anything, even those things that openly hurts us and threatens our very existence.
A current example which we accepted is the Peter Obi's cleverly packaged saint-image which tried to bamboozle us into a grand Zionists agenda.
Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour is another and we will still not learn!
I was just going through the lineage of Chinedu this morning only to discover very funny patterns.
Do you know that the VERY FIRST VIVOUR to appear anywhere in Lagos YORUBA LAND is Garnett Vivour?
Garnett Vivour is the GRANDFATHER of Olawale Rhodes-Vivour
GARNET WASN'T BORN ANYWHERE NEAR LAGOS!!!
Garnet Vivour's FATHER [ William Allen Vivour] was born in Sierra Leon and his GRANDFATHER [ The one who was the freed slave, Vivour ] was born in the IGBO TOWN OF OPOBO.
William Allen Vivour had Garnet Vivour in or around OPOBO.
The town of OPOBO is a coast town of IGBO LAND which, even against all their pretences, is still Igbo land till this day.
1. Garnet Vivour only migrated to Lagos, as a FULL IGBO MAN, around the late 19th century.
He settled down to marry Sarah Rhodes de Vivour [ strange name ]. Sarah herself was a descendant of freed slaves called SAROS in Lagos, people who settled in Lagos not too long before Garnet.
2. The union of Garnett and Sarah Vivour got the FIRST PERSON WITH YORUBA NAME in 1910.
That was the man who later became Justice Akinwunmi Rhodes-Vivour.
3. Justice Akinwunmi Rhodes-Vivour marriedbMajorie Enid Walker [ another strange name ] and they both got Olawale Rhodes-Vivour [ The SECOND PERSON WITH YORUBA NAME ].
4. Because BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, Olawale Rhodes-Vivour had to look in the direction of IGBO LAND to get NKECHI
He didn't marry her but their union brought who is today and suddenly called Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
Nkechi took "Gbadebo" away and raised him in ANAMBRA in every inch of the culture, traditions and ways of her Igbo people.
He was known by the name Patrick Chinedu until recently.
By ALL INTENT, PURPOSES AND COMMON SENSE, Chinedu is an IGBO MAN.
Chinedu's PATERNAL AND MATERNAL FOREFATHERS ARE IGBOS.
5. This particular Chinedu obviously can't speak Yoruba but speaks Igbo perfectly.
He naturally got married to IFY, an Igbo lady from neighbouring Abia state.
He openly IDENTIFIED WITH IPOB, an organization said to be amongst the first 20 DEADLIEST TERROR group in the whole world.
He openly endorsed the ENDSARS MOVEMENT, a movement that got the full support of No. 1 HATER OF YORUBA NATION, Nnamdi Kanu, and he actively participated in the action to destroy Lagos. That destructive action was supervised by the IPOB and cost Lagos State TRILLIONS OF NAIRA IN LOSSES.
He is on record to have severally and openly expressed HATE SENTIMENTS THE AGAINST YORUBAS.
He picks out our most revered Chief Obafemi Awolowo of all Nigerian Politicians to ridicule on National TV.
He identifies with KNOWN ENEMIES OF YORUBA LAND e.g Olúségun Obasanjo, Bode George and Ayo Adebanjo.
He is running for the Government of Lagos State laying FALSE CLAIMS TO YORUBA ANCESTRY.
It shouldnt have been a problem for us to have even an Igbo man of full Igbo ancestry as Governor of Lagos inasmuch as he will be picked, sponsored and elected by the YORUBAS OF LAGOS.
We do these things as gestures of Goodwill in Yoruba land.
BUT THIS HEDIOT IS GETTING DIRECTLY SPONSORED BY THE STRUCTURE OF IGBO ZIONISTS AND THE IPOB AND RELYING HEAVILY ON THE IGBO POPULATION OF LAGOS TO MAKE HIM GOVERNOR OF LAGOS.
Now, that is a gregarious insult on our sensibilities especially coming from a man whose ancestry is rooted in Igbo land and who hates so much.
Even the blind can see that Chinedu, just as Giringory Obi, is a ZIONISTS PROJECT ACTUALIZE THEIR AGE-LONG DREAMS OF CONQUERING LAGOS.
But some of my Yoruba people are so [ FOOLISHLY] liberal they can accommodate anything and so blind they can't see the clear danger in this scheme.
Shouldnt we be lamenting the collective stupidity of our people ?
But we won't allow you fools destroy us by your foolishness.
We will STOP this current threat and we shall IMMEDIATELY BEGIN MOVEMENT TO DISCOURAGE FUTURE TRIALS BY SAME FOOLS ON BOTH SIDES.

As long as igbos are Nigerians and pay tax to the Lagos state government it is their right to be involved in Politics just as it is the right of the Yoruba woman that just won Abuja Senate seat.

Hello ! Pidaa what is life if not death.
In life on earth you are dead to 97% of things u shud live for . But In death you are alive to 97% things ur soul is happy to stay dead for ( only if u aren't programmed, those who are programmed ie Religious ones aren't noted as creatures of the universe According to supreme forces )
Coming to ur Ignorance about death
A wise human gets more wisdom and knowledge associating with the dead 100times over than communicating with the living ,
Holy trinity don't want u to know this , u will call me evil but in death ur spirit shall seek me out to give u full knowledge but!!!!!!!! All I see is pure ignorance in your comments, you cannot see air but you believe it exist yet you question the existence of spirituality because you can't see or experience it. The joke is on you, somethings are meant to be hidden and won't be revealed to people like you, God made sure it stays that way, only the privileged few (the chosen ones) will experience God's powers and see revelations.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)
1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.
2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.
3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.
4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.
5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.
6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.
7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.
8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.
13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.
14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.
15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.
16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.
17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.
18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.
19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.
20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.
21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.
22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.
23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).
24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.
25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.
31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID..
TAKE AWAY:
1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.
2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years
3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.
4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.
5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.
6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.
When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.
You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

Some people still dont get this. Maybe because they are very new to Nigeria politics or first time voters.
During the Presidential campaign. The candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi exploited and explored our diversity, he capitalised on our religious differences in particular to instigate hate among the the two major religion we have in Nigeria. CAN, PFN turned themselves into a political group. Especially General overseers, they turned the altar into a political stage to preach politics and propagate hate against Muslim candidates.
Peter Obi's victory in Lagos during the presidential election wasn't just from the igbos alone but from 'some' brain clouded, emotional religious sentimental yoruba christ!ans who were sold with the Jihad bullcraps. After the victory, instead of building bridges, extending hand of friendship with the yourbas that voted against Obi, making them reason by drawing them closer and also at sametime solidifying the alliances with yorubas on their side already, that voted for obi. The southe@sterners, feeling pompous and inflated came with the campaign of 'taking over lagos' . .. They ran twitter spaces, host interviews aided by their propaganda media house, AriseTV, scribbles and tweets were churned out about how they will sack all the obas and takeover the whole place.
How can you expect the yorubas who sided with you against their tribesman, Tinubu in the presidential election to feel about it? Happy that you want to takeover their ancestral land and mock them with it in return, just like you use the word; 'Afonja ' consistently to make mockery of our loss in Ilorin.
Sanwo Olu victory was not as a result of tribalism. The yorubas fought together as one again, and they won. Different yorubas from different religion, political parties, and across all board left our differences asides at the corner, came together to 'rescue ourselves'. (once bitten, twice shy)
At first it was cruise, then it became aggressive, now it is uncontrollable.. Cant even be tamed nor can they reason well. It is all noise, zero thinking and strategy. The Obidient movement is turning out to be a curse to Peter Obi and the hardworking innocent igbos who committed no crime but paying for the sins of the headless mob. Shut up, There are many threads here on nairaland that proves Peter Obi has been attending church services across Nigeria even before he became Governor. You on the other hand is a well known tribal bigot worse than a racist, a pray you witness racism to have a feel of what I am talking about. Racism and Tribalism are two diseases education can not cure.
