who are rich!??

Thomthom:
Naso una talk am last time say certificate no matter, see how the country dabaru

Those that have the certificate, the professors, doctors and PhD holders, can you show any proof of how their respective leaderships has been better?

This is getting ridiculous and very very st*d.

what use is primary or secondary school certificate when
we are talking about service delivery.

primary school cert out live its importance once you get into secondary school and
you secondary school cert outlive it use once get into university.

the focus should be :
-> does he/she have the skills to perform the task?
-> for evidence: where did the individual acquire the skill-
definitely not in primary or secondary school.

how can you see a graduate and you are asking for his primary/secondary school certificate

it's like asking a PhD holder to prove s/he attended tertiary institute.
or
asking a 15yr-old to prove he was once a 10yr-old

this is the reason we keep losing talented individuals to
foreign countries especially in tech.
Because of this nonsense certificate worshiping, you see a very season techie losing a job to an individual who has no
experience and whose only qualification is a cert and his so-called prestigious school.

modified:
we just like barking at rocks in this country.
This is how they will go an ask a minister of economics during screening to sing national anthem instead of asking tactical an technical questions relating to the field.

SHINJA:


Shut up bloody head slamming mohammadian Terrorists..

what is this thing?

common get back into the filthy hole you crawled out from.

Come out when you find sense down there, till then stay of my mention.

Tragedy this is, my condolences to the families and relatives of the deceased.

Just look at the comments above and you will know Nigerians are dark both in heart and soul, irredeemable.

If this had happened in a Christian dominated region now, they'd be saying Islamization, Christians are being attacked blah blah blah, where is the so called CAN and the International entities that are always quick to print news about Christians being killed in Nigeria.

We need to realize that the so called foreign bodies that always take interest in religious stuff in Nigeria are just looking for a way to course conflict in the country so they can come in disguise of fighting to religious freedom and course havoc.

There are almost as much Muslims as there are Christians in Nigeria.

The day we realise that criminals, terrorism have no tribal or religious affiliation/inclination that will be the day we start start solving our insecurity problems.

Bro, seriously, if you look deeply into your writeup, you will discover really that something is wrong with you upstairs

why don't you take a look in the mirror, you'd see someone with the description you just gave.

4reala:
Na wa o, killings everywhere. This apc should just pack their load and go. It's like bubu is a curse

Must you and your kind always be this stup!d.

is it the government that is committing the atrocities.
how do we intend to have a better country when everybody is pointing fingers and never want to take responsibilities.


hey I challenge you and any of your like to mention any country/state or community that has good security and I'll show you it has nothing to do with their government or their security personnel.

If their is any lingering crime or crises in any society, just
know that the people of that society are involved.

That criminal, cultist, fraudster, assassin, terrorist etc are well known in their communities for what they do and strangely are even loved and adored, that's as long as they are not on the receiving end off course.

So what?!

Because she's a corn seller mean she shouldn't have any of these qualities?!

your kinds are the reason majority of young ladies feel they don't need to hustle once they have certain qualities.

They begin to feel too big to hustle, every thing should be provided for them.

Mrpojj:

So sars officials are all retired and at home now?

Let me give an example; If a company decides to desolve it
marketing team, will the company still enjoy the same benefit a marketing team will bring simply because the individuals are still in the company?

the answer is NO.

it is not the individuals it's the unit itself,

the best that should have been done would be to review the SAS code of conduct.

This is bad

Soldiers should be bigger than this, this is the police duty.

Soldiers should be rare to see around,
they should only be called at last resort in critical situations
not in things like this.

This should be the police job


Funny how no one wants to admit that crime rate spiked after SAS was dissolved. Every one is living in denial.
The police became completely toothless.
OK na.

I always believed there is something shady about ASSU demands, because every time their demands seams different the deaper you look.
one moment they tell they are fighting for students the next another.

I am in support that UTAS should not even be considered by FG otherwise the whole idea of IPPIS will be defeated which is a single payment mechanism for civil servants.

if they feel it has issues, they should recommend a fix not
float their own.

what is to stop other sectors from coming up with their own system if ASSUs is granted.

It's not even as if all the lectures are of any use to students,
98% of lecturers either don't know/update their course or
lack teaching skills or even both.
Students do 100% of the work themselves, the only thing lecturers provide is the course syllabus.
And their excuse is always that they are there to lecture not teach.

when I take online courses from various universities, I always wonder how good Nigerian students here will be if we had these kinds of lecturers. with well-structured curriculums and lecturers that know their courses into-to.

As a student myself, I can tell that the only thing taking students to class is attendance and impromptu tests,
nothing else cos there's nothing to gain.

Stop attendance and impromptu test and how many students will bother going to class.

If ASSU care for Nigerian education system they should start by fixing it from inside.

- retire aged lecturers
-relieve the incompetent ones
-do regular lecture all supervision during lectures
-devise stringent standards for lecturers
- and many more.

Even if FG gives $500tr today, it's still the same shenanigans
and 20yrs old course materials they will still do/use.
people easily blame graduates for not knowing their course well but leave out the lecturers

THE ELECTORAL ACT 2022: KEY CHANGES AND IMPACT ON THE 2023 ELECTIONS

On 25 February 2022, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the 2022 Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law, after months of withholding assent. The 2022 Electoral Act (“the new Act”) repeals the Electoral Act No. 6, 2010 (“the former Act”) and is intended to bring innovations to the regulation of Federal, State and Area Council elections in Nigeria.
As Nigeria approaches its 2023 general elections, the enactment of this law has come at the right time. This article considers some major changes introduced by the new Electoral Act and the possible implications of these changes on the upcoming elections.
MAJOR CHANGES INTRODUCED BY THE ELECTORAL ACT 2022

1. Financial independence to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

The new Act establishes the Independent National Electoral Commission Fund, wherein payments from the Federal Government, investments made from the fund and other aids and grants shall be paid to enable the Independent National Electoral Commission (“the Commission”) to perform its functions. Furthermore, the Act stipulates that election funds due to the Commission for any general elections are to be released not later than one year before the next general election.
This provision grants financial autonomy to the Commission, as it may now receive funds for the conduct of elections directly as opposed to getting funds subsequent to vetting by the Ministry of Finance as provided under the former Act.

2. Extension of Timeframe for Publication of Election Notice
The new Act provides that the Commission shall, not later than 360 days before the day appointed for holding of an election under this Act, publish a notice in each State of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory stating the date of the election and appointing the place at which nomination papers are to be delivered. This notice is to be published in each constituency in respect of which an election is to be held.
This is in contrast to the provisions of the erstwhile Electoral Act which provided that the Commission should publish this notice not later than 90 days before the date of election. The effect of this extension of time is to give the Commission more time to prepare for the election and also give the political parties no excuse as regards the candidacy and the partisan and propaganda politics that comes with choosing a candidate and preparing for a campaign.
However, for by-elections, the new Act retains the same provision as the old Act, as the timeframe for publishing a notice stating the date of by-elections is 14 days.

3. Encouragement Of Early Party Primaries
Under the new Act, political parties are mandated to submit the list of their sponsored candidates who have emerged from valid primaries conducted by the party, not later than 180 days before the date appointed for a general election. This is in contrast to the former Act which prescribed that this submission should be done not less than 60 days before the date of general elections. The change in the timeframe to submit the names of party candidates from 60 days to 180 days makes it compulsory for political parties to conduct their primaries early enough to meet up with submission of their list of candidates at least 180 days before the general elections.

4. Extension Of Timeframe for Campaigns by Political Parties
The new Act provides that the period of campaigning in public by every political party shall commence 150 days before polling day and end 24 hours prior to that day. This is different from the provisions of the former Act which prescribe that campaigns shall commence 90 days prior to polling day and end 24 hours prior to that day. The impact of this provision is the extended time given to political parties to disseminate their campaign messages to the populace and the corresponding extended time for the electorate to decide what party and candidate would receive their votes.

5. Provision for Central Electronic Voter Database
The new Act provides that the Commission shall keep the Register of Voters at its National Headquarters and other locations, provided that the Register shall be kept in electronic format in its central database, in addition to being kept in manual or hardcopy format. Under the former Act, this Register was kept in manual or hardcopy format only.
This provision is laudable as it will promote transparency and effectiveness in the Commission's record-keeping and in tracking the number of registered voters who will be voting in the upcoming elections, thereby curbing illegal voting by non-registered voters.

6. Revision of Definition of Over voting
Under the new Act, 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. “ Number of accredited voters” refers to the number of intending voters accredited to vote in an election on the election day. Under the former Act, it is when the number of votes cast at an election in any polling unit exceeds the number of registered voters in that polling unit, that the Presiding officer shall cancel the result of the election in that polling unit.
Based on the provisions of the new Act, ‘overvoting' would mean where votes cast at a polling unit exceeds the number of accredited voters and not the number of
registered voters as provided in the former Act.

7. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)'s Power of Review

Under the new Act, the INEC has the power to review the final decision of the returning officer in respect of questions of unmarked ballot paper, rejected ballot paper, declaration of scores of candidates and the return of a candidate, within 7 days of the decision, and return where the declaration was not made voluntarily or was made contrary to the provisions of the law or the guidelines for the election. Under the provisions of the former Act, the decision of the returning officer was only subject to review by an election tribunal or court. However, it appears that under the new Act, the election tribunal or court can still review the returning officer's decision, but the Act is unclear as to whether this is to be done after INEC's review or can replace the INEC review process totally. It is the writer's view that this should be after the INEC's review.

8. Exclusion of Political Appointees from Acting as Voting
Delegates or Aspirants Section 84 (12) of the new Act stipulates that no political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the Convention or Congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election. This means that political appointees must relinquish their positions before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate.
This writer considers this provision positive because it will bar political appointees from using their influence in contesting for elections and prevent them from remaining in the helms of power for longer than they are supposed to. This in turn leaves room for fresh candidates with no prior political appointments to take up appointments, instead of recycling the same old candidates. This provision has, however, proved very controversial, and has been the subject of criticism and denouncement, with even a Federal High Court declaring it unconstitutional and directing the Attorney General of the Federation to delete same from the new Act. The last has not been heard about the controversies on the constitutionality or otherwise of section 84(12), as the National Assembly has vowed to appeal the decision of the Federal High Court.

9. Death of Electoral Candidates
The death of a candidate in elections had generated lots of bickering among political parties and politicians in the past under the former Act, leading to cases in our courts. To cure some of the mischief in the former Act, the new Act provides that where before the commencement of polls a candidate dies, the election shall be postponed and shall commence within 14 days of the candidate's death. Where a candidate dies after polls, but before announcement of final winner/ announcement of final result; the implication is that the election will be suspended for not more than 21 days. Where the election is for a legislative house position, the election shall start afresh and the political party whose candidate died may, if it intends to continue to participate in the election, conduct a fresh primary within 14 days of the death of its candidate and submit the name of a new candidate to the Commission to replace the dead candidate. For gubernatorial, presidential and FCT area council elections, the running mate shall continue with the election (as the new candidate) and nominate a new running mate.

10. Technological changes in electoral process
Under the new Act, the use of electronic devices such as smart card readers, electronic voting machines and other technological devices, is allowed in the accreditation process for voters and in the general conduct of elections. Furthermore, the new Act provides for electronic transmission of election results in accordance with the procedure determined by the Commission.

CONCLUSION
The Electoral Act 2022 is a laudable effort to keep the Nigerian electoral process up to standard with that of other democratic countries all over the world, more so as the country approaches the 2023 general elections. It is only hoped that the provisions of this Act are judiciously implemented to enable Nigerians enjoy the exercise of their political franchise before and after the 2023 general election

leaving ABU in Kaduna for something that happened in Sokoto,
common, this is either fake or stupïd.

say this is true, given his/her level of education is this the best thing to do, as an educated person.


As sad as I am about this issue, it only show the hypocrisy of Nigerians, and the so called religious saints/leaders.

For years we've seen and read of mob actions and jungle justice in Nigeria, cultist killings, but no fuse at all from the so-called religious leaders and the saints-every one is now claiming to be.

We never had this kind of tension, but because religion is now involved they are all talking.


So it's ok if Christians/Muslims to kill and burn themselves but not by the other religion.

So without religion you are all just barbarians, and don't have any atom of humanity.
What a shame!!!

I think I'm in the wrong universe

They too should all be arrested and jailed for life with their clients, nonsense .

soul2:
Can you see now, later they will be blaming Buhari. Majority of them now might be Ibos, Calabar and Benue people

why are you like this

OK, this has gone too far, can we all just stop these ethnic insults.

Is this how we intend to build our nation.

This guy is the epitome of a betrayer.
All the years of his injury and his very poor performances
yet the club still had faith in him that he will become good.


now that his injury woes are behind him and the club needs him more than ever, he betrays them.

At a time the club is in grave dept and poor he is asking for €700,000 per week, even Messi wasn't paid that much.

this referee no well at all.

I will you end match 89 minutes.

even with stoppages and var check wet he suppose add time sef he no add


how that ball take be penalty sef

It use to happen to me when I was younger.
I use to know this things even b4 I was born, initially it came to me like in dreams, it's as I grow and heard my elders talk about the past that it began to feel like i was there somehow.
I new things a few seconds b4. it became frustrating knowing what will happen but not remembering till it's too little too late

There are people using this fuel subsidy scam to enrich themselves,
obviously, these people are going to do whatever it takes to ensure fuel subsidy is not removed.

It a shame, those that will benefit from it in a long run are the ones used to kick against it.

talk of the oppressed fighting and defending their oppressors

hiring a coach who had never won a spoon in is career.

A coach who's teams have always been below average no matter the squad he had

And you hire that person to come and coach a squad of winners, players who combined have won everything in football. where will he start from? what can he tell them?

how can you have a squad like PSG and you are playing counter-attack football?

counter-attack is for weak team's who can't match their opponents.

PSG on the other hand have the players to control a game from min 0' through 90'

Ancceloti was the best possible coach to command this squad

Just look at the propaganda

I guess the atomic weapons America have scattered across the world and the deadly weapon America have been producing all this while is for child's play.

when America build deadly weapons, they say it is to protect Americans, when other countries build theirs, they call them war mongers. My pain is that my country Naija is no where to be found in this military revolution
