APC has failed Nigeria. In fact, APC is strengthening corruption in Nigeria. Corrupt leaders at the helm of affairs.

It's important for road users to obey traffic rules, but Nigeria is a different place when it comes to obedience of laws, traffic laws inclusive, and LASTMA of Lagos are well-known for overlooking traffic offenders, particularly commercial bus drivers. Rather, LASTMA officials lay claims against innocent private vehicle drivers, and term the offence, miscellaneous, just to extort the driver without issuing government receipt. Simply, the rule of law should take preeminence, and a better society will surface. But for now, corruption takes preeminence in Nigeria.
The crime should be investigated and culprits punished.

The perpetrators MUST be penalized.

AT THE KOGI STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL
PDP Counsel: My lord the result sheet was filled before the election started.
APC Counsel: My lord, as the result was filled before the election started, this court has no jurisdiction to entertain pre-election matters.
Tribunal: As it is undisputed that the Ogoi/Mangogo result sheet (Form EC 8A) was filled before the election started, we agree with the APC that the issue is a pre-election issue, and PDP slept on its right for not instituting the action as a pre-election matter. The result is therefore valid.

PDP Counsel (addressing the press after the judgment): We will not take it. We are going on appeal.

AT THE APPEAL COURT:
Court: We agree that the result was made before the election started. So, the issue is a pre-election matter, and this court has no jurisdiction. Tribunal is right in its judgment.

Me: This is the level we have reached in this country. Courtesy of the recent decisions in Obi/Atiku v. Tinubu.

Politicians are taking Nigeria to the gutters, and sycophants are applauding. Politicians do as if there is no document guiding them.
The constitution is now rubbished by those who swore to abide by it.

If not for the existence of regular sham elections, Nigeria at the moment could be said to be under dictatorial rule, where the rule of law is useless.

The Nigerian Constitution and the opinion of sane people don't matter any more in Nigeria.
Independent National Electoral Commission is further going to lose its independence. We know that it secretly lost it at the 2023 presidential election. But now, the loss of independence is going to be stamped, no thanks to the federal executive and its rubber stamp Senate.
Unfortunately, in the next four years these people will come to us and give us N5000, 5kg of rice and a tin of vegetable oil to vote for them, and we will scramble to place our fingers on their party symbols on the ballot papers.
We are not ready to salvage Nigeria, as we applaud known criminals as our leaders.

Shameful actions of shameless individuals working against the people they call "well-meaning." I expect a probe of this Lamidi-Apapa and his cohorts in future. One day, his sponsors will leave office, and leave him defenseless against a thorough independent probe.

One day please! Just one day. Every guy should have at least five boxers. Wash the first and second before the sixth and seventh days. Colours of your boxers do not hide the dirt of the boxers.

When he registered, did he disclose that he was 16 years? If he did and the system (if that is how it works) accepted him, then the company has a question to answer. But if he did not disclose that he was underage or lied about his age, can he blame the company? Is he truly 16 years? Is he just realising his age after losing his money to a voluntary act?

I struggled to get my PVC as INEC promised free, fair and credible election. But INEC failed woefully in my opinion. INEC promised and deliberately failed to keep to its promise. Then tribunal put the icing on the cake by making INEC look infallible in the face of obvious fallibility and deliberate distortion. Why will people still rush to get their PVCs when INEC is still constituted the same as February and March 2023?

As far as I am concerned, the tribunal endorsed criminality. It failed to reprimand negative behaviour, but verbally reprimanded those who attempted to make Nigeria work again. It made INEC's despicable performance appear infallible. The tribunal made the youths, first time voters, and those who had lost hope in voting, seem stupid for believing in INEC this time. Unfortunately, if the Supreme Court does not change the narrative, Nigeria may not witness any free, fair and credible election going forward, of course not in 2027. After 2027, stooges will take over in the subsequent elections.

The goal maestro, Rashidi YeKing.

Nobody under the care of the government under any circumstance should be treated inhumanly. In there, WILL be innocent persons, while some who steal people's commonwealth will be outside claiming to be leaders.

So, what about the presidential election petition judgments that are scheduled for Wednesday? Hope it's not the more you look....?

A criminal act is a criminal act. Whether court declares it a crime or not, it is a criminal act. If so, a criminal (whether declared by court or not) should not hold exalted position like a president of a country. But wetin I know? The society will determine whether such a person is fit or should be allowed to be a president. This is me talking generally.

The justices, including the ones at the Supreme Court should do justice. The facts are clear to all. Technical decision is no justice to the people who went out in the rain and sun to vote for their choices.

Remove the bay leaf and the napkin

It is even demeaning for a married woman not to request from her husband. She is entitled to request, just as the husband is entitled to do same. They need understanding regarding mood, place, time and how.

Nigeria is going o. We may soon evolve to a type of government that is unknown. Even under the military, the court stood tall. But under civilian rule especially under Buhari, and now Tinubu, the court may serve as servants to the executive. Where do we go from here?

Assuming the hippopotamus was not causing havoc, I would have preferred it stays alive, and probably placed in a zoo with habitable condition. Anyway, kudos to the youths for confronting their fears. This tells us that when the youths have resolved to achieve a result (a good one at that) they can do it.

It's a shame that we all saw the video but the ruling party wants to blatantly scuttle any form of investigation. Nigeria don dey finish. I pity the youths and the children being born now.

These people do not represent the good people of Nigeria. Well, there is a difference between "Parties" and "Parities".

Why punish traders who had harvested their produce and hoping to make ends meet, all in the name of what? Imagine the baby crying, yet no pity on the poor child that was probably hoping to have his/her next meal from the mother's sales for the day. Assuming there is a justifiable grievance, I don't think that this act of destruction is justified.

This is brilliant. A genuine call for our youths to do well in their legal endeavors. Kudos to the Edo State Deputy- Governor.

He should wake up from sleep. The dream will end.

...but Chicken Republic did not sack her.....And philanthropists, like the pastor, cannot be fooled...

In a sane clime, he will be personally responsible for the cost of the private engagement. Who pays for the use of the official aircraft and the crew, his accommodation, etc in London?

meanwhile,

100K UP FOR GRAB !

Yes,you stand the chance to win 100k free of charge,and here's the simply task to do.

During the last proceedings at the tribunal,16 June 2023,one of the respondent lawyer crossing examining one of the witnesses claimed that INEC made a publication on 23rd February that they will no longer transmit results [ form EC8A] from the polling unit at real time.
Basically,they have abandoned the capturing of results using BVAS at the polling unit and uploading them to the IREV at real time.

Here's the link to the publication,
https://tribuneonlineng.com/we-wont-transmit-raw-figures-of-election-results-inec-chairman/

If anyone can show everyone of us an excerpt that corroborate that claim from the 23rd February publication,the 100k is yours !


It's simple as that.

Your time starts from now till January 1st 2024.

UPDATED !

Two persons have pledged to add 20k and 100k to it !

Now 220k is up for grab!

Sending people to travel like Gulliver to look for a non-existent document

Peter Obi is trying his best for democracy

But this is Nigeria the top most corrupt nation on earth

I don’t expect Justice from judiciary

Let the will of God be done

I share in your pain. It pains me too that justice is running away from the people of Nigeria, and those that manipulate the system are laughing at the people, and are saying confidently that "nothing will happen, Obi is wasting his time." The question then is, will this one still go the way of the manipulators of the system? Can justice have a rethink and come back to the people? I doubt it, but let's wait and see. If justice disappears into thin air, INEC should forget about luring us to vote in any other election; and the court (Election Tribunal and the Supreme Court) should know that the credibility of old has disappeared with justice.

Tinubu, APC and INEC's lawyers have just succeeded in wasting our day. They have stylishly eaten into Obi's time with their vexatious, time-wasting, and ludicrous objections. They want to get technical justice to ridicule voters that went out on 25 Feb 2023 to cast their votes. Let's see what the tribunal will do. If substantial justice is still dropped in the dust bin and replaced with technicalities (as usual), I wonder whether INEC can rally people in future to go out and vote.
