False. These are not pertinent to the case. Don't deceive people shanaka4u: If you are a lawyer, you will understand what that means. One it means Peter obi lacks credibility. U can bring his past action to show he could not have won the election based on the fact that he is a serious decampees and as such his party can't win. Again that a party that was just brought to limelight cannot win an election base on previous elections in Nigeria. That also some of his supporters may be not be favourable with decamping with him and as such he will lose votes. They will use that an compare with their own candidate who had been consistent. Those facts they quoted is in order in court. You may think that those statements are bear parlour facts but in reality they are cogent facts. |

All you said is right. If you check how policy is done, governments make policies and then use media to sweeten it into the masses. So regardless what this guy said the UK government would have done the same thing. But now he is a poster child for corroboration by them to say, "You see what we were saying? Even their people agree so". It's absolutely better to be silent nairalanda1: 1.India is affected by the policy too.
2.Validation my foot, really.
3.It is the CONSERVATIVE party...the party that in 1983 brought in one really strict law against immigration, and who have a home secetary that is so determined to stop immigration despite being an immigrant herself.
4.The truth is, the Conservatives will do what they have to do...because the alternative is that people would vote for far right parties like the BNP who would ban immigration totally....and I mean totally, and even expel legal immigrants in the country. |

The UK Government was already planning to limit immigration.
However, the guy's utterances gave validation to the policy.
Nigerians are not the highest or even second highest numbers in that wise.
You don't see Indians and other Asians who drive the highest numbers of likewise immigration in the UK coming to speak like this.
The UK Government is holding India's priced diamond, Other European countries drove slavery and all, yet their citizens don't discuss those to shine before a camera. Thy tell you to move on.
The guy could have just held his opinion with tact and moved on, since the UK Government had already decided, right?

(a) all the legislative powers, the executive powers and the judicial powers vested in the House of Assembly, the Governor of a State and in the courts of a State shall, respectively, vest in the National Assembly, the President of the Federation and in the courts which by virtue of the foregoing provisions are courts established for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja;
(b) all the powers referred to in paragraph (a) of this section shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution; and
(c) the provisions of this Constitution pertaining to the matters aforesaid shall be read with such modifications and adaptations as may be reasonably necessary to bring them into conformity with the provisions of this section. |

It’s not about “makes sense”. It’s about what the law says. If you want to change it, then you have to change the constitution. But until then, it is what it is. lhordspy: With due respect. Prof is a dull man.
Prof. Let me ask you. What is the essence of the election when all it takes to fail is 'not make' 25% in FCT?
It means even though you win the entire 36 states with 98%, and garner over 34billion votes across the states. Not getting 25% in FCT means another election of 300bn will be re-conducted.
All it takes is political actors without any road to victory or path to majority votes, making sure they block any body from getting 25% in FCT; by crook or hook. Because they know even 25billion votes cant save anyone.
All it takes is political parties focusing on FCT only and giving middle fingers to the other states. They can even try importing people from 36 states into FCT just to vote and scuttle the opposition impending victory
People like Sowore and others who know they cant win will just campaign only in FCT, bribe the residents and make sure the votes are split. Then we will keep repeating election till thy-kingdom-come without president.
As a Prof,e make sense? Is this logical? |

Thanks bro. I mixed the phrases. Terrific and hell Dybala11: Now you're mixing up his statement, he didn't say anything about "terrific time" in his statement. According to Merriam Webster dictionary, "having a hell of..." Means and have the following usage: 1 :used to make a statement more forceful e.g It was one hell of a good fight. He is one hell of a nice guy. 2 : very good e.g She's a hell of a player. 3 : very bad or difficult e.g We've been "having a hell of a time" trying to finish on schedule. This is a hell of a mess we're in.
The word HELL can be used to express both positive or negative depending on the idioms used, it refers to both extremities of badness and goodness. It all depends on usage. 😂😂
I pray that you understand this though, you can do a quick check of what I wrote it, having a hell of a time can also be interpreted as having a "bad or difficult" time bro. Confirm this before arguing. |

I didn't take a picture outside nileither did I see a figure, but I felt the deep peace and calm from the storm after my prayer to Jesus Christ, just like I believe some others in the plane too.

We are not there to know if she sleeps or not, what we measure is results! How many Nigerians have been rescued? Even if it 1, that's a starting point. It her job to deliver results, that's why my tax is used to feed her. Its her job to figure out how to go about the evacuation! Use the Nigerian influence she is expected to have built between herelf and the foreign ministry to bring our people home! And if you cnat do it, resign! Thats how its done in saner climes. No excuses for zero result! Yeah, even UK who you are calling now, when there is no crises, gives their citizens in foreign lands quick passport, travel certificate, security updates, social security, immediate response when they visit their consulate (not treating them like animals) - which one did Abike and co ensure happens for Nigerians on a good day? So during good times, you offer no value and in bad time you provide no succor, zero results. Who cares if she has not slept for 4 days? Their parents of those Nigerians have not slept for over 4 days too? She should be humble and do her job, Period! And we should stop all this excuses, it is setting the bar low! Tareq1105: For your information, she has not slept for 4 hours for 4 days now over this matter. She's been on TV and radio programs and social media explaining government challenges. Even UK hasn't moved their citizens bcoz airport is blocked.
We heard that Nigeria population is over 5 millions in Sudan. How do you want her to go about the evacuation in 3 days? |

We don't reward efforts, we reward good results! What is her result currently? 2 people rescued? 10 people? 20 people? Absolutely, no result! So we can't cut her any slack for coming out to rant. If she has rescued 10 people out of 5,000 trapped and then be assuring us that they are doing all they can under the circumstances, I for one will say give her a chance. But she is calling god and attacking people online for something she is being paid to do? Come on!

The idea that government officials don't report to their citizens is the biggest evidence of poverty in the Nigerian society. She has involved herself in matters regarding Nigerians in diaspora and she is being paid for it. Even if it is not in her power entirely, she could just say," We are working with the ministry to evacuate our citizens", after all they are the same government. And for you to support a public official "matching your craze" online, shows we also have a long way to go as citizens. 1 thing to bear in mind now is, "If your brother or sister or son or daughter were trapped in Sudan right now, is this going to be your response"? jahsharon: You will cry for long oooo.

That thinking is what she is paid for. She may not achieve 100%, or 50% or even 10% evacuation of our citizens. If she has been able to present 20 Nigerians out of 5,000, we would say at least something is being done and will understand, under the circumstances. But no, she is scoring 0 / 5,000 now and still insulting her employers online. And to make it worse, some citizens are supporting her. This is why Nigeria has never been better. It is time to take responsibility. We just never take responsibility for anything, and we don't do our work. This is the same woman who used tax-payers money to fly to the USA to watch Anthony Joshua's boxing march. If you pay taxes in this country, you would understand these.

I hope you eventually saw the effects of what he said. And historically, his actions and utterances have proven that he is bigoted. TBH, Sanwo tried, as a Nigerian governor today is seen to, but by the huge resources available to him, his performance has been sub-par. Now GRV s untested and has less experience and so that's an edge for Sanwo. They key issue here has been to allow everyone make those decisions freely and fairly with their votes. That's where all the angst against MC Oluomo and APC came from. It may have been a lose call between Sanwo and GRV with Sanwo winning if people were not threatened. Thisnis because Presidential vote sentiments were different from governorship, but the people had had enough and were going LP all the way. But the society is now heated up Dindondin: Calm down. He has debunked it. You see this election is very simple. Sanwoolu did well. Everyone knows. GRV's is a good guy too. Sanwoolu ll win his reelection and GRV ll come back in 2027. It's very simple.

If you had posted and claimed to be non-catholic, that would have been understandable. But for the benefit of those who don't know, the simple action of abstaining from meat on good friday is self denial on that day given that meat has been historically pleasurable to most humans. This practice is the baseline penance one can make during lent that as a Catholic faithful on a worse case scenario. The Church then came together way back and agreed for all members to abstain, as a message of penitenance in unison Now there are vegetarians and Vegans who naturally don't eat meat, what should they do? Its still the same fundamental concept of self denial on that day - They would abstain from their most representative desirable meal as part of the church's agreement as the body of Christ.
