The president by default is the governor of Abuja so to speak. You can't be the head of a place if 25% of the people there didn't vote for you. It's like staying in a home you're not wanted. In the Nigerian Constitution, Abuja is unified state and the Federal Character is employed in most appointments and things done there. It's a state that binds all Nigerians together, hence the 25%. Note that the Constitution didn't state, anyone with the highest vote or 50%, it also stated 25% which is reasonable.

I really don't envy the judges in the tribunal
God bless NIGERIA

Going by your argument, any state a presidential candidate fails to secure 25% of vote cast there, he or she should not be regarded by the people of that state as president, even though he meets up with other constitutional requirements.
But the same you want Obi to be declared president of Nigeria even though he only secured 25% in 16 states and only secured majority votes in 12 out of the 36 states and Abuja!

Hedonisco:
Thank you, OP.

It's puzzling how there's some kind of elite conspiracy to deliberately complicate what should be a simple argument concerning this subsidy removal of a thing.

As as long as I can remember, I have argued that any talk about removing subsidy on fuel simply means that the government would be punishing poor Nigerians for its own inefficiency, incompetence and corruption. It's as simple as that, in spite of any laboriously long arguments our 'professors' want to make to the contrary.

1. Professionally and continuously audit the fuel consumption numbers and subsidy payments regime to plug loopholes.

2. Tackle smuggling of subsidised fuel across Nigeria's borders

3. Make sure that Nigeria's publicly owned refineries work at full capacity, and remove any bottlenecks that impede the creation of new small and large private refineries

4. Supply crude to these local refineries at rebated prices if possible, in Naira of course. Give the local refineries tax waivers where necessary

5. The DPR (or whatever its current incarnations are called) should be doing its job to tackle hoarding and manipulation)

Frankly I don't care if anyone says all of these are easier said than done. It's not rocket science, and if we can't do these, then we're buttressing the point being made about government's incompetence/inefficiency which the masses SHOULD NOT take responsibility for!

Frankly speaking, these are the truths we are all dodging away from.

Almaigaa:
Hope Gidgiddy no dey among them

That nairaland Ipob pig seamed to have escaped.
I so his lamentations over the death of those his unfortunate brothers somewhere.

SpecialAdviser:
How can you know he failed woefully when all the announced results were doctored by Yakubu for the drug Lord?

Was it yakubu that announced all the results from the pooling units?
Your Pandora Christian crusader intention was already a known thing to northern Muslim even before that tape that later exposed his bigotry to the glaring world.
Even in the next hundreds years, if Obi keeps contesting he will not win. It's likely that he will perform woefully even should he dare contest again.

gidgiddy:
These days, theres not much to smile or laugh about in Nigeria. Everything seems to get worse with each passing day. So when I came across this comment Simon Ekpa made on Facebook today, I appreciated the fact that it made me laugh. He said:

This is when Simon Ekpa represents terrorist Nigeria at the 2003 African Junior Athletics Championships games and comes back with Gold medals and Silver medal. The same government claimed today they dont know where he came from because no system working in a country called Nigeria



Had Nigeria been a civilised country, people would have been interested in knowing why this young man who once represented Nigeria and won numerous medals for it in sports, has since turned his back on the same country, returned the medals, and is today giving sit at home orders

Unfortunately, many Nigerians are not that civilised yet

I can see you laughing at your own foolishness like every other Ipob pig does every.
It's very unfortunate that Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa have succeeded in playing fool with the head of some of their fellow tribesmen. The extent to which these duo have succeeded in implanted hates your heads against other Nigerians is becoming unimaginable. Or how could a normal person in his or her sense accept blatant lie easily.
A mere look at the picture should have informed you that if the person on the picture was really Ekpa, then he surely wasn't representing Nigeria there. In an international sports competition of that magnitude, the athletes representing Nigeria would certainly be kitted in Nigeria traditional green white green jersey. He claimed the event took place 2003, meaning it's very recent competition.
But your being member of Ipob cannibal terrorist has blindfolded your reasoning ability.

Rossikk:


He did it for himself, not for Nigeria.

Tell me, is he also doing sit-at-home in his house in Finland?

Did you ask him?

Or is it just YOU he ordered to sit at home like his slave?

The picture even show that he was not representing Nigeria. In an international competition like that he should have been fully kitted in Nigeria jersey. Their was no any international sports competition that too placed as soon as 2003 that Nigerian athletics attended kitted not in Nigerian traditional green white green jersey.
His claim is baseless and as foolish as the mind of his fellow Ipob pigs cannibal terrorists admiring him here on nairaland.

SHiNJA4RMDWEST:
No one want to be close to a head slamming mohammadian terrorist..

They should stone him to death

But why are you Ipob pigs cannibal terrorists angry with the head slamming mohammadian for their rejection of Pandora fool Obidunce during the last election?

Jogs1900:

If Lagos is ranked as a city, No state in the south east is of standard to be ranked because they are all shitholes.All your so called city in the east are actually big villages.
In that report they ranked only Lagos and Abuja because they are the only cities they can rank in Nigeria

You really jagged that nincompoop by his jugular vein.
When places like Kano, Benin, and Lagos were booming with city lives, people living in that region were still using leaves as clothes.

YourMrBoo:
The ills of commissioning unfinished projects.

Because it was commission unfinished, it should be vandalized?

YorubaPrince:
Useless Fool!

who ruled you and that your buffoon father that gave birth to slowpoke like you.

jordyspices:
When is he going to Niger to walk around

But the Ipob pigs said he has already ran away to Niger.

These people can't stop measuring high in Drug trafficking, armed rubbery, prostitution, yahoo, cannibalism and now terrorism. Armed robbery was the majored valued norm amongst them before they added the other ones.
Let wait and see their people coming to their defense soon just like they did recently when one of their little daughter was caught for forging Jamb result.
Ndi "developers" can go to any extent to get rich.

Bubu4Sea:

Then why does the SE have the highest cutoff scores to schools?

The usual way. That one who was caught red-handed went for direct way. She and her accomplice never knew Jamb had moved ahead of their nefarious method. The other ones have escaped with their own because Jamb still lack capacity to detect their methods. Sometimes ago, Jamb couldn't detect forged results from results upgraded center littering in South East. Even though they knew something fishy like that was going on, the want of evidence to kneel the culprits prevented Jamb to declare the results forged. Imagine the controversies this latest one generated despite proves provided by Jamb. Had Jamb was not armed well with concrete evidences, who would have believed Jamb? The audacity of innocent exhibited by the Igbo girl and her co culprits was known not to the world. How could a girl at that age stitch to lie, defended her lies publicly? The deception was just too much. If not for her later self confession.
Therefore, It's just matter of time for all those manufactured results of examination malpractices coming from the East to be unearthed.

Who has been terrorizing the South East?
The answer to the above question is what the South Easterners themselves know but choosed to conceal it for reasons already in public discussion. Yes, the South East was made ungovernable for Buhari's government. The realities that has set in bequeathed the essence of the gathering. It's not obtainable nor reasonable to continue to hang the blame of insecurity on Buhari. Neither is the Fulani herdsmen excuses since Baba Buhari is no more there. The monster Ipob terrorists must now be called to order. I guess those were the discussions, the realities too.
However,would the South East leaders have courage to call the spade, which they deliberately used to call the folk, the spade by calling out their own sons and daughters terrorizing the region to stop? Like nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa must be caged for peace to return to the dot nation. What if the FG caged him today, will they not call for his releases as they have been calling for Nnamdi Kanu's released?
Maybe, the gathering is even to rename the attackers as Tinubu Yoruba OPC boys. It's my guesses too.

Bubu4Sea:
The South needs to breakaway from the North,the North is weighing down the south.

Imagine the South is tops in education,yet all the best jobs are held by the North

The SE in particular please prep for ur exit!

I know the SE will never bow and let their land be over run like Kwara.
Now Kwara belongs to another tribe will the indigenous people are subservient to the invader.

I trust the SE they will never be slaves

"Imagine the South is tops in education..."
Using results upgrading centers to always top in education.
Ogah, Jamb has exposed the secret.

SpatialKing:


So, is this an achievement too? 🤭🤭

Mention one Nigerian president from 1999 till date that wasn't made Ecowas Chairman?
Even the d*ll Buhari was once Ecowas Chairman
This is a norms for any Nigerian any president

It won't change decisions of the court..

A son of a palm wine tapper insulting our president. No one in your lineage has ever come close an inch distance to achieve what Buhari has achieved for him in life and I don't think anyone in your lineage will ever come close that distance in futures, even if one thousand generations are put into consideration.

Our Baba Buhari is back. 🙋
I can hear lamentations of the ipob pigs.
After the selves inflicted shame of the jamb results forgery episode in which they are yet to fully recover from, the Mallam Alhaji Baba, their last slayer before the Asiwajo alias Jagadan Nijera, Mallam Alhaji Ahmed Bola Tinubu, their present slayer just landed in the country, increasing the volume of their wailing.

basilo101:

Your refugees are still in Benin Republic

Not there counting days to be sent to slaughtering houses for drugs trafficking and fraud like some "developers" in Malaysia, China, Indonesia, etc

Supremos:
The continued incarceration of KANU by the federal government, despite order of the court of competent jurisdiction quashing the charges against him, is the reason why SE is becoming ungovernable. Tinubu should obey the court

KANU's vowed to make the south East ungovernable for Buhari's government led to his incarceration. It was same court of competent jurisdiction that set aside the order quashing the charges against him. The Ipob terrorists should let the court decides the fate of KANU. Their continue using terrorism to blackmail FG to free KANU will always back fire against the East.

Supremos:
I've always known you to be an imp. The people you mentioned are they your president and head of security operatives?. Ohanaeze has been calling for the release of KANU so as to that he can talk to this people, Obi has been calling for negotiation with the group, same as Oby and others you mentioned.

Which power so they have that you want to blame them?

That is it! When that hunchback albino pornster Nnamdi Kanu called those boys to carry arms against the State before he was apprehended, you people cheered him up. The FG went as far as smoking the Ipob terrorists supreme leader out of where he hid and called for mayhem against Nigerians, however all Igbos today are unanimously saying he should be free unconditionally.
By tomorrow when FG is able to pick that Ekpa from his hide out, the same Igbos accusing FG of doing nothing will start calling for his releases.
The easterners should stop their hypocritical support for the Ipob terrorists. Let Igbo leaders, traditional, political and business leaders call these their sons to order like the northerners did on issue of Boko Haram that we can hardly hear about them today.

AfonjaEkiti:


Go back to ogbomosho and leave illorin alone

If that will free afghanieastan from Simon Ekpa and his cannibalistic terrorists.

BentizilL:
Who cares about you being bitter or frustrated?? Is presidency an Igbo post?
There are over 250 ethnic in Nigeria, who cares about what you lots think?

Stop trying to rewrite history, Obasanjo beat Ekwueme silly in 1999... Ungrateful people trying to rewrite the history of Nigeria to favour their selfish ambition...

I tell you, there is not a bitter group of people in the world like these people. Twice Buhari offered them alliance by appointing them as his VP, but they rejected him each time. However, Buhari has to look beyond them to get his ambition realized by going to the Yoruba next for alliance. The chances were high that had they accepted his alliance, he would have supported them to succeed him. While they did refused to him support, after winning and becoming the president against their wishes they kept maligning his personality, his tribe, ethnicity and everything about him. The same treatment they are giving Tinubu and the Yoruba now.
The Igbo think that by threatening break up other Nigerians can just succumbed to their whims and Caprice easily. Very little thing, they would cry victimization. A 19 years age forged jamb results, an act which was supposed to be condemned by even foolish persons, but they successfully turned it tribalism, unleashing unprintable vituperative wards on jamb, its head, the institution for exposing her and very other Nigerians that stood against the despicable act

AfonjaEkiti:


We are yet to find out from our masters who tells us when to slam heads after sighting the moon

This has escaped Ekpa cannibalism.
Has Simon Ekpa free you for the day?
I heard that no pig dare moves an inch distance out of his/her room these days.

Ladiesdoctor:
EFCC under Bawa was the most clueless since it inception.
When Ribadu left EFCC, that was when the commission became children playground.

No! This case is that case of freeing people who have been stealing our patrimony with impunity.
We always complain of corruption by government officials and politicians, but each time attempt is made to deal with this issue, the same us, who are victims of these nefarious public servants will support them in one way or the other by denigrating the effort of the anti crime agencies.
Judiciary is one of the biggest problems in attempt to reduce corruption in our society.

They are all from the region which people are well known to the world as criminals.
Forgery, yahoo, prostitution, baby factory, cannibalism and now they are vehemently dragging to be crowned world number terrorists after being rated number ten.

Aurelius1:
But they can forge election results and induce underage voting.

Make Igbos try that one next time since forge jamb results don expire now. At least, with forge election results and induce underage voting, obi fit enter aso rock become presido like northerners dey do.

Akwamkpuruamu:
E no go better for Simon Ekpa, that abakaliki boy

Why calling Simon Ekpa;
Remember when we used to say na Buhari Fulani DSS boys dey responsible.
Abe na Tinubu Yoruba DSS boys dey behind it now.

Aurelius1:
No born to rule on the list. There is no they can even make top 100.

How could they have made the list while they don't do forge results, nor do they have results upgrade centers.
Anyway, servants must work harder to keep pace with their lords.

gragz8701:
Of course you will never find the North on that list.

Because there are no results upgrade centers in the north. Just a matter of time, we will learn the acts too. WAEC and NECO are our witnesses.

TERMlNATOR:
Why is the north poor?

Because north don't do drugs trafficking and fraud business like yahoo yahoo and arm rubbery neither do north women do prostitution nor offer themselves as factory made baby servers

Goodman2023:
.

She is innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of law...you should know this at your age

Jamb has revealed that her real score was 249 but not 362 as she is being claiming. It's not me that said she forged the result. Jamb which conducted the exams confirmed the forgery. What proves are you then talking about?
However, what benefits do you think jamb stands to gain for denying that she actually scored 362, if really that was her actual score?.

Goodman2023:


At least she doesn't sell human skull for a living, neither is she a suicide bomber like your sisters

But she is now a confirmed professional criminal results forger at her age. Unlike her elders, She wasn't lucky to escape undetected. . The next move would have been to either travel out in the name of furthering education with hidden drugs in her hand bag or start ashao business like the other chioma and ifeoma's in the name of being a celebrity who has received multiple awards as best jamb student.
Unfortunately, jamb don jammed her ambition.
