Today, Babatunde Raji Fashola delivered a powerful presentation to the Abia State Executive Council members.

The retreat, organized by Alex Otti, centered around proficient governance, with Fashola as a prominent speaker.

Dear OBIdients, Alex Otti knows Fashola’s capabilities and he did not hesitate to bring him to the retreat.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi was seen at the wedding of an APC Chieftain's daughter in Kano, where he struggled to get a plate of rice.

Something very INTERESTING is happening with the Atiku/BAT’s case in the USA.
A lot of people don’t really know the details but I took my time, went through court documents, did some more researches and brought you a summary.

WALK WITH ME!

So, Atiku’s case in the USA is perhaps the most IMPORTANT part of the electoral Jigsaw puzzle on qualification of BAT for the following reasons:

- One of the constitutional requirements to qualify for election as president in Nigeria is to be educated up to at least the school certificate level or its equivalent.

- BAT listed and submitted Chicago State University (CSU) as the only school he attended on his INEC form EC9. This satisfies (or is equivalent to) the requirement of the constitution.

- Atiku’s US case aims to lift the veil on the foundational documents BAT used to qualify for and gained that admission

- Yes, you guessed right. Documents like transcript, biodata, WAEC result, testimonial from previous school (s) etc.

In summary all such documents that laid the foundation upon which BAT’s subsequent qualifications were built, if they exist, are covered by that subpoena Atiku is in court for.

- If it is confirmed that BAT’s foundational educational documents belonged to someone else i.e a female and that he appropriated someone else’s identity to gain admission into CSU, it would mean that ALL subsequent qualifications built on it, will collapse like a pack of cards due to identity theft/fraud.

CSU will have no choice than to withdraw any certificate awarded to that identity if they are properly petitioned.

- It will definitely become an international scandal (imagine the headlines : Nigerian NARCO Bagman President also guilty of Identity theft)

- On the home front, with the international collapse of his CSU certificate and exposure of the fraudulent foundational documents, he will fall short of that sacred constitutional requirement of being educated up to school certificate level or its equivalent, as there will be NO evidence to prove otherwise (He go explain tire 😊)

- The courts won’t need to ask any questions. From what he filled in his form EC9, he already submitted that he had no other qualification. If CSU certificate fails then he is AUTOMATICALLY deemed as not qualified in the eyes of the Law.

- An international scandal of such dimensions would force the Supreme Court’s hand. If it becomes a notorious international fact that BAT does not have a WAEC/School Cert result or it’s equivalent, they’ll have no choice but to apply the constitution in its strict sense to DISQUALIFY him.

- This is why TINUBU is FIGHTING SO HARD through his Lawyers to prevent this records from being released to the Atiku team

He does not want the Nigerian people or the world to know that HE DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM WAEC QUALIFICATION or ITS EQUIVALENT! and that the documents he’s been parading belong to someone else!

- Atiku is a very ‘wicked adversary’ 😂

He wants to help Nigerians solve a TRANSGENDER mystery.

He will do this by dragging A BAT from the Darkness of Nigeria’s murky politics to the LIGHT of international embarrassment.

#AllEyesOnTheJudiciary

Spy360:
You are outdated. Go and study the SC judgement on Osun. BVAS is an integral part of the election and is in fact a primary evidence.

Besides, let me ask you, why did INEC issue IREV to LP as certified and true copies of form EC8AS?

Spy360:
I wish you had taken the patience to read through. You are right to say that IREV is secondary source of data. If I may ask, what is the primary source? Secondly, if that source is disputed, what would be used for verification? We are back to IREV.

Now according to the SC judgement on Osun, upload to IREV is a key part of the electoral process because it takes place at the PU in real time. Also according to INEC guidelines as empowered by the Electoral Act, collation of results must be done after verification from IREV.

Hope this reply isn't too long.

Spy360:
This is exactly what APC lawyers expected. They know that the tribunal would require evidence polling unit by polling unit and witnesses called for each polling unit in contest. This is an old gimmick.

So Obi's lawyers decided not to contest that he won but that the process was flawed. If he said he won they would ask for witnesses for each PU, but if he says the process was not properly done, he only needs to prove the process.

How did he do it?

First, he proved that non upload to IREV as stipulated by INEC in its guidelines was a violation of the process. He then brought evidence of 18000 blurred results issued to him by INEC as certified true copies. He also brought 10000 LP agent copies to show that those blurred results were manipulated to reduce his votes and add figures to Tinubu. Those results show that he won two more states (Rivers and Benue) that were awarded to TInubu, thereby increasing his to 13states plus FCT and reducing that of Tinubu to 10states only.

By doing this, he left the tribunal with two options, that if they consider the elections as flawed, then they will order for a rerun. If they consider it as compliant they will now have to recount the votes that are disputed. If the latter is upheld, the only evidence of Election Results before them is what Peter Obi presented showing that he won.

So Obi does not have to prove he won, it is left for the tribunal to decide who won based on the evidence before them.

Personally I feel they will ask for a runoff between the person with the highest votes and the person with the highest states. It will be between Tinubu and Obi, that is if Tinubu is not disqualified.

You wonder why Atiku is going to US courts to prove Tinubu's forgery? He knows that he will not contest unless Tinubu is disqualified.

If justice is truly upheld, Tinubu must be disqualified. There are six reasons he should be disqualified of which he cannot escape all:
1. His invalid nomination (failure to appoint a vice president within 14days of Masari's withdrawal)
2. Shettima's double nomination.
3. Forged certificates and fake NYSC
4. Perjury (he said he had no other citizenship but he had Guinean citizenship)
5. Dual citizenship
6. 460k dollars forfeited for crime

SenatePresdo:
Funny thing is that the average wage in America is far bigger than the average wage in Nigeria.

But our politicians are richer than their politicians, and its because suffersticated morons have chosen to draw us back far More than any region in Nigeria.

I was thinking illiterate majority of Northerners were the ones holding the few intellects hostage in this country, never knew the brown roofers are worst.

No wonder poverty reigns supreme over there that they can't afford to renovate their Houses after building it the time Rome was built.

Stupidity will cost your progress.

JOemmy:
Judgement that fashola have since written my expectations are not high until the tribunal judges do the right thing.

ebufa:
Did you actually follow the case at all?

ANNIP:
There is time for everything under the sun says the Bible.
The much awaited judgement of the PEPT is just around the corner, nearer than you could ever imagine.
Brace up as It's expected to come like a tsunami from Tsammani & the other judges. Never in the history of Nigeria has any case attracted so much followership and interest from Nigerian.
Its something that has not being heard nor seen in Nigeria before, Whichever way it goes the judgement is expected to be the first in History of Nigeria. It is coming like a tsunami.
While the petitioners have a strong case and are therefore expecting Tsammani's Tsunami to scatter the incumbent, the respondents are believing it has never happened before in Nigeria and therefore Tsamani's tsumani should be deferred. They even begged that if Tsammani's
tsunami is to happen let it tamper justice with mercy by choosing which of the petitioner the respondent wish to rerun with. Am surprised they don't know how tsunami operates, it comes without notice, without consideration, without pleading, without incumbency factor, it comes unexpectedly just like it did on 28th Feb 2023( presidential election day) where structureless tsunami cleared all the well structured party.
I see Nigeria erupting into celebration when Tsamani tsunami comes; It could either way, the mandate thief may erupt into celebration for the first time since they stole if it goes their way. Be sure to expected avalanche of celebration and Jubilation if the judgement comes the way of the Mandate owner.
Tsammani's Tsunamic judgement is coming just as God's judgement day is coming. Brace up Nigerians.

The writer Uche Okwukwu is an Ikwerrian so I guess you did not read well

Nice2023:
On the issue of NYSC,there is no law that says u must have NYSC before u can become governor,senator or what have u,but the major thing we should not do is submitting fake certificates.

The court does not joke with forgery no matter who u are,hence the reason why I feel that the current governor of Enugu state is a goner.

attackgat:
Barrister Uche Okwukwu is an Ikwerre man from Elele, Ikwerre Local Government. He is also a former Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo. When former Governor Wike denied being Igbo in 2020, Uche Okwukwu wrote this open letter to him which was widely publicised

The statement attributed to His Excellency, Barrister Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State was shocking. He said an illustrious Igbo son, and I believe he was referring to the Honorable Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, was only claiming to be Igbo to further his ambition of becoming Nigerian president come 2023. Wike further disclaimed being Igbo himself.

Agreed, Wike has the right to hold any view so far as it is within the ambit of the law and not counter-productive. He can define himself in any manner he deems fit. But Amaechi, who holds the traditional chieftaincy title of ”Ochi Ariri Ikwerre,” meaning the Defender of Ikwerre in Times of Difficulty, also has the same right to see and define himself as Igbo. Wike does not enjoy the prerogative of determining himself and at the same time defining others.

Amaechi was former National President of the National Union of Rivers State Students, NURSS. He was former Speaker of Rivers House of Assembly, Chairman of the Conference of Speakers in Nigeria, two-term governor of Rivers, Chairman of the Governors Forum of Nigeria, GFN, and two-term Minister of Transportation. He is the first Nigerian to be appointed Minister of Transportation and first Ikwerre to be appointed full-fledged Grade A minister. As an Ikwerre, I am proud of Amaechi. As an Igbo, I am also proud of him.

Coming from the humanities, Amaechi is conscious of history and social anthropology. He said, “Look, I’m Ikwerre. But I’m also Igbo.” By so saying he did not in any way stop any Ikwerre from presenting himself as non-Igbo. Such an Ikwerre who denies his Igbo identity would have to explain himself to the gods.

Amaechi’s assertion of his Igboness on the BBC should not cause anyone a headache.

The Ikwerre Is Igbo

It is important to state for record purposes that historically Ikwerres fully identified themselves as Igbos without suffering harms. Chief Joseph Wobo, member of the Council of Chiefs of Eastern Nigeria, clearly stated he was an Igbo. Nobody can dismiss him as he defended Ikwerreland in colonial Nigeria.

Sir Jackson Mpi, first and last Ikwerre to be conferred with Knight of the Order of British Empire, OBE, by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1960, identified himself as Igbo. From the ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo, Sir Mpi worked tirelessly for Igbo advancement.

Dr Obi Wali was the first Ikwerre PhD holder, senator and university lecturer. He was also the only Ikwerre in the 1978 Constituent Assembly where he was selected one of the 50 Wise Men that drafted the 1979 constitution. The great Dr Wali identified fully with his Igbo heritage and was gruesomely assassinated defending it.

Okogbule Wonodi, first Ikwerre registrar of any university, first and only Ikwerre poet and Paramount title Holder of Eze Ohiaemeru. Ohiaemeru, where you have present-day Comprehensive College in Borokiri, was his ancestral home before the British vacated them between 1913-1923. Wonodi remained a respected member of Nzukor Igbo and Ohanaeze Ndigbo till the end of his life.

Patriot Emmanuel Aguma was former Mayor of Port Harcourt. As Principal of St John College, Diobu, he was the first Ikwerre to head any college. One of six pre-independence Ikwerre University graduates, former administrator of Port Harcourt Province in the defunct Peoples Republic of Biafra, first Ikwere minister in 1979, Aguma remained a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Emmanuel Oriji was a respected local government administrator, traditional ruler, a commissioner in old Rivers and core Igbo nationalist. The immediate past Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Isaac Wonwu, is an illustrious Ikwerre son from Elele. He is known to assert his Igbo identity. Equally valid, Chief Jackson Womenazu from Rumukrushi in the Evo Kingdom is a member of the Elders’ Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

In colonial documents, written when Igbos had no capacity to influence anything, Ikwerres also defined themselves as Igbos. When Ikwerre leaders presented their case before the 1957 Sir Henry Willinks Commission, Wobo declared that Ikwerres were Igbos and Port Harcourt to Onitsha was Igboland.
The cream of Ikwerreland have asserted their Igboness. Most illustrious sons and daughters. Tell me any Ikwerre whose CV can match those of Mpi, Wobo, Aguma, Wonodi, Dr Wali or Amaechi?

The Ikwerre: Space and Survival

We must resolve all outstanding issues occasioned by the military-inspired partition of Ikwerreland as war booty. Our irreducible stand includes:

One, Ikwerres are Igbos and Ikwerreland is so important to the Igbo that they will never take any step to destroy Ikwerres or toy with their destiny. In geo-strategic terms, Ikwerreland is the tongue of the Igbo race to the sea.

Two, we are aware there are plans to landlock the Igbo nation. These plans are rooted in history. My brother and personal friend, Wike, should not be a crusader for such plans because it will be resisted with the sword as no nation will allow itself to be landlocked. All legitimate, moral and spiritual means available to Ndigbo would be used to resist the excise of Ikwerreland from the larger Igboland.

Three, “Obigbo,” means “Heart of Igboland.” It is the right name for that Local Government Area, LGA. “Oyigbo” means nothing and was never and will never be the name of Obigbo. The British met local people on ground who said their world was called Obigbo. Any researcher can go there and verify for himself. None should be persecuted for calling Obigbo its original pre-civil war name. I, Uche Okwukwu, call it Obigbo and I have no apologies for that.

Four, “Ohiaemeru” is the original name for Borokiri. It was the British who removed the indigenous Ikwerre population there before declaring the place Crown Land between 1913-1923. Equally so, “Igweocha” or “Diobu” is the original name for Port Harcourt. We must set the record straight. Five, demographically and historically, Igbos constitute the majority in the Niger Delta. Wike’s idea of the region is flawed considering that nine states make up the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, namely, Imo, Abia, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Ondo and Rivers. It is absurd and unacceptable stating that Umuagwo is not in the Niger Delta but Ogoja is. Be that as it may, there is now a statutory definition of the region manifest in the NDDC Act.

Any definition that excludes the Igbo from the Niger Delta, or tends to disenfranchise them from the privileges thereof, is unacceptable. This is because there were plans in the past that destroyed any benefit coming to the Igbo. Boundary adjustments were carried out to remove oil-producing areas from the former East Central State.

Six, in terms of ethnicity and language, Igbos are also in the majority in Rivers. It is fallacious that there are no Igbos here. Igbos are here because Ikwerres are Igbos. Ogbas are Igbos, Ekpeyes are Igbos. Etches are Igbos. Obigbos are Igbos. So no one can talk about Igbos coming in to cause trouble. Igbos are peaceful. Rivers is our home, and we are its autochthones.

Seven, Binis have no cultural or historical link with Ikwerres. We worship different gods, have different market days with different monarchical structures. Our Kingship is not from father to son like the Binis. Our kingship is based on gerontocracy where the oldest person assumes leadership. What brought us together was the 1914 amalgamation. No pre-colonial or colonial record has it that Ikwerres migrated from Benin. The post-war purported claim that Ikwerres are Binis is parasitic, defeatist and self-hate.

Eight, Ikwerreland is heavily garrisoned. Two million Ikwerres in four LGAs are tightly sandwiched by two naval barracks at Iwofe and Borokiri; two army barracks at Port Harcourt and Elele; air force base in Port Harcourt and an army shooting range in Igwuruta. Large swathes of land were appropriated for the building of the international airport, University of Port Harcourt and its teaching hospital, Rivers State University, Ignatius Ajuru University, Nigerian Television Authority, Area 1 Seaport, etc.

We believe in the unity of this country but the Federal Government should dismantle the military formations and return their locations to land-bereft inner-city Ikwerres. Our burgeoning population has no living space and this could lead to the Oromo experience.

Why is Wike denying his Igbo roots?

Wike is an illustrious Ikwerre son. And for emphasis, he is an Igbo man. A kettle might call itself an electric kettle, but it remains a kettle. Wike will do himself great service to forget the purported prejudice of the past and assert his Igboness. You don’t deny your own roots because they may not be there anymore when later you need them. All those who deny their people have always regretted it.

Jbleenk:
The steps Tinubu is taking is what any sensible person who knows his onions would take in light of situation we find ourselves in Nigeria.

A country who spend 90% of her revenue to service debt can’t continue servicing electricity, fuel, fx etc else it will implode.

IamKizzbrown10:
Many people have happy, fulfilling, healthy
romantic relationships without having sex
with their partners.

It ultimately depends on
your personal beliefs, physical desires, and
the nature of your relationship.

There are many reasons why people don’t want to, or don’t, have sex. However, this doesn’tmean that the relationship will be unhealthy.

And it certainly isn’t a sign that your partner
doesn’t love or value you!

This is my humble opinion though, tell us what you think nairalanders?

I just clocked 40 year old and I feel as if I have not done well for myself. May be because I had always set a standard, hence my high taste and expectations.


Now goes the question,as a Nigerian,what achievement do one expects from a 40years old man irrespective of his education?

"No one has come to say what is in IREV is different from the EC8 " how can you? if it's different from the one in the IREV, when you can't even access the content in the IREV blurred sheets, tpexed, changed e.t.c

Which yeye hacking, what they planned for with billions of naira , glitch ko, glitch ni! part of the plan is to counter the possible hacking is develope technology to save the data in multiple forms and developed anti - hacking mechanism , and besides we were told , immediately you conclude election, snap it in the presence of everyone , with the score known and transparent in the presence of everyone with video evidence but they deliberately stopped that , so what's the essence of the the technology being signed into law if you are just sighting hacking on the d - day , you shouldn't have budgeted for it and signed it into law , at least send it first and if they hack it ,we will all see , of course agents have their copies, the national assembly results were transmitted immediately , so why such dubious excuse? Anyway let's see the calculation hopefully the ec8 will tally.

yinkkus:
IREV was simple but they messed it up , let's think positive and forward not this olule rubbish.

IREV was not complex ,. It can be used easily and transparently but was not deliberately used.
