Parachoko:
Which loan is that? Tell is the name of the loan the National Assembly approved lady week

Read again

I said about last week.

Like two weeks ago

EKONGKING:
It's seems entire Nigeria is catching cruise along with Hilda .

It's unfortunate the last record holder from India did not even get 5 percent of attention hilda is getting from Nigerians.
I asked my Indian collegues ,they are suprised this competition exists in records and that the previous record holder is Indian.

Na so Nigerians dey spend energy on irrelevant things or things that don't have real implications for their lives

For example, they were mute about last week when the national assembly approved CBN unappropriated loans to the FG . Loans that will take generations to repay.

BRIMBRAM:
Sign that their mental sickness of delusion is gradually getting cured.

Gradually

But be prepared that it may take more than eight years to cure very few of them

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?

Don't mind the dull man

Penguin2:
How many times has the courts ordered the Federal government to release Nnamdi Kanu? Did they obey the order?

Before international pressure got Elzakzaky and Dasuki released, do you know how many times court ordered their release? Were those orders obeyed?

It's wrong for anyone not to obey a court order. That's my point

cktheluckyman:
Which court order made Apapa LP chairman?

I'm not interested in this. Read my posts well

Court orders are meant to be obeyed by everyone, whether individuals or government

Penguin2:
I can decide not to obey court order. The only thing that would happen is that I will suffer the consequences later.

About court order suspending Abure, did that court order declare Apapa as chairman?

I'm not interested in Abure or whoever

I'm interested in the law and its sanctity

Again, you can't and shouldn't decide not to obey a court order. You have only two options: obey the order or challenge it.

It's the law that makes the difference between an orderly society and a jungle.

Again, disobedience of a court order in itself is a crime. Know this

Penguin2:
What started out as a minor distraction in the Labour Party leadership is snowballing into something unintended all thanks to the press.

But what is really the true state of affairs? Who is the authentic chairman of Labour Party right now?

To help our understanding of the situation, let’s take this analogy.

There are processes to everything in life.

Osinbajo is the Vice President, and the next in line to the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; in fact, it’s his unopposed right.

But if by this evening Buhari can no longer be found, can Osinbajo just wake up and declare himself President because he’s next to Buhari? The answer is a big no.

Osinbajo must wait for some legal encumbrances, like the president not transmitting power to him while he was traveling, to be cleared first. In this case, the senate might have to invoke the Doctrine of Necessity like they did under Jonathan.

After that is done with, then Osinbajo must wait for the Chief Justice of the Federation to swear him in as President before he can now start laying claim to anything.

It is the same thing with this Labour Party leadership tussle.

After court asked Abure to step aside, the next thing to do would have been to call a NEC meeting of the party where the party will decide to either obey or disobey the ruling depending on their interpretation of the legal implication of the ruling.

Now, if they decide to obey the ruling, it is still NEC of Labour that would choose or rectify new leadership for the party pending the determination of the case in court. This never happened.

Apapa and co just barged into the Labour National Secretariat and declared themselves the new leaders of the party without recourse to NEC or any constitutional process.

Compare it to Osinbajo holding a press conference to declare himself president without being sworn in, because Buhari can no longer be found. You know the consequences. It’s treason.

It was the season of MKO Abiola who declared himself President after the 1993 election was annulled. We all know how he ended.

So, in life there are processes that must be followed before one can legitimately lay claim to anything.

As of today, Apapa is a meddlesome interloper, an irritant in the Labour Party that would soon be consigned into oblivion never to be reckoned with forever until his end on earth; he and his co travelers.

You can't decide to not obey a court order.

You're wrong there

The comparison with the VP is also wrong because no court order is involved. The comparison to MKO is also irrelevant

LegendHero:
I think you are correct.

That’s why he invited professionals from Amazon Web Service to tell the court how the server malfunctioned because of the long numbers.

INEC did not know the tsunami of Obi. They do not expect a single canid star will have over 3 trillion votes.

Exactly

LegendHero:
He actually won Plateau by 1 trillion votes.

They need to present all this evidence in court too so that the Appeal/Supreme court can just declare Peter Obi the winner asap coz if they subtract 1 trillion votes from the current Tinubu votes, Obi would be the winner.

Mpukumririi overdose is really bad. Buhari should do something about it asap.

He won't Plateau by 3 trillion votes and that's why the servers petered out because the figure was too long for the servers to process

Firstorderwizard:
Tunubu has a very bad case which the recent Supreme court judgement has made worst ( those that have legal eyes will understand)
His only saving grace is technicalities unfortunately, the case is too water tight to be dismissed by technicalities

Tinubu will win this

Comedian

PoliticalUpdate:
Not many have really sat down to deliberate over the inconsistency of Tinubu's age. A few years ago, Wikipedia banned Tinubu's profile on its platform for several submissions and altercations on the age of Tinubu. What kind of man won't know his age - a public figure at that, and we are expected to trust such a personality? His deputy from 1999 to 2003 is Kofoworola Bucknor is 84 years today and baba is claiming football age. In Political leadership it is rare to find a leader having an assistant that he/she isn't quite older than or around same age grade. I don't know what philosophy would make someone like madam Kofo and Tinubu political accomplices - if they had not by privilege associated in the past.

Ask those old enough in 1999, they will tell you that Bucknor was older than Tinubu and it was a fact well known then

Alake as the Lagos Commissioner of Information even referred to her then as a "sinking, crying, old grandma"

Also, check very well and you would see that many Nigerian governors have had deputies senior to them in age. It's not new.

Propsvilla:
Imagine Supreme Court removing this Man that has over performed within short period of time. The judiciary should not allow themselves to be used as a willing tool in the hands of the evil politicians. They are the surviving Institution to uphold our democracy.

What has he done and achieved that amounts to performance?

IyaebeTheGreat:
Oyetola should rest. Adeleke will soon decamp and that's all we need. Oyetola failed Asiwaju and we don't work with losers.

Decamp to where?

INTEGRITYA1:
Adeleke will still win at Supreme Court, Oyetola will be pacify for National Appointment.

Oyetola was relying on Tinubu intervention to reclaim the seat, but Tinubu have already said he's a President to both APC, PDP, LP and all others, in fact Tinubu said he's a Nationalist and President for all. As a result he(Tinubu) won't take side.

Please remember this position of the verdict goes in favour of Oyetola

Penguin2:
I fear they might use Osun case to set a precedence that would be used to help Tinubu’s case.

And I say this because Osun case is the first major case since BVAS and IREV became legal instruments of INEC.

Where do you think the judgment will swing from the proceedings in court?

In favour of Oyetola

Jones4190:
I am still curious as to why Bishop John Onaiyekan did not request that the Chief Judge of Osun State postpone the swearing-in of Governor Adeleke, given that his election victory is being contested at the tribunal and now at the Supreme Court.

The problem of selective amnesia is one of the major issues facing Nigeria. It is disheartening to see senior citizens in the country taking sides with certain political parties during critical moments of national interest.

This is wrong and must be widely condemned.
Hopefully oyetora will reclaim his mandate tomorrow

It's not selective amnesia that's worrying them, it's naked bias and uncontrolled emotional outbursts

I say amen to your prayer. The clock ticks

blacksam01:
...with the return of the president elect from his medical trip in paris...he went straight to his mansion in Abuja nd 24hrs latter parked into a far smaller house in the compound of defence headquarters...

Questions now is what is tinubu doing there..at his mansion and as a president elect, he is due for a well equip nd good protection by the dss nd police...so why is tinubu mischievously lodging at yhe defense headquarters...

my guess is that he wanted to get closer to the chief of defense staff nd influence his decision to support him ,since as it stands, that is the only arm that can stop him, little wonder, the army chief after about two days of his sourjoun there...

what we shld b careful about is that the military chief usually have rivals in rank with its folds, if we thread dangerously nd allow our military top brass to get involved with politics, then that is danger as it unfolded in sudan recently...@ sudan just two politically instigated generals are cause fight every...

president buhari dhld call his chief to order nd order tinububout og the defense HQ, if he need more security, he shld b accorded more..but not mess up the military with money nd politics, i forsee tinubu never ever leaving power, instead using the military to extend his stay

Lamentations of Labourers (LOL)

Tntsi:
Senators know that OBIDATTI tinubu is not a constitutional president.
They know OBIDATTI has a water tight case.
They know a presidency that has no constitutional backing is an illegal one.

They know OBIDATTI is coming..

Lamentations of Labourers (LOL)

RamseyKush:
Crack in the wall😂😂
Not everyone prefers tinubu 😅
So it shouldn't be a shocker if he isn't sworn in on may 29.

Lamentations of a Labourer (LOL)

richie240:
Your question is patronizing. It's like me asking u if taking meat from ur neighbor's pot without his consent is good.

Whether it's right or wrong for a human betraying u is a no-brainer, it happens. Na how u respond to d betrayal go determine how 'mannish' enough u are.

My response was not about the victim of the betrayal or how he took it.

It was a response to someone who justified that taking the meat was good

Make you dey calm down understand issues

richie240:
Be calming down, inugo.
Even The Great Master Jesus Christ was betrayed by his buddy.
Na human nature be dt.

It's not about human nature. You're not the one to tell me that

The issue here is if it's right or if you would be happy about it

muykem:
Frustration, regret, disappointment, anger, annoyance, vexation, bitterness, exasperation have become Obidients order of the day since after this election. I have never seen or imagined people so disillusioned .This is the first time ever, we are seeing candidate claiming of winning election without project his own results. You said there was rigging in Lagos, Rivers and Akwa Ibom. Remove all APC results in those states and added it with Peter Obi votes, he still fail.

I'm now convinced that those people are sick!

GeneralPula:
Lol..

You don para

It's true nah

Many of these things are easier said than experienced

Try and experience exactly what Osinbajo did to Tinubu first before you judge

GeneralPula:
I personally don’t see anything wrong with him contesting against tinubu..

I pray that someone who is to you what Osinbajo is to Tinubu will do the same or similar thing to you

Amen

I don't know why all governments since 1999 have not been able to reform the police

What's the problem?

The immediate and remote causes of this kind of problem should be determined and resolved.

The incoming government should take note that the policing system must be reformed. It's as important as power reforms.

If you remove insecurity and power problem from Nigeria, there will be massive creation of employment and many young people will stop Japa. Many will even return to the country.

Is having a state police the solution? Is it about the conditions of service? Or recruitment process?

Again, the incoming government must be determined to solve the problem

successmatters:
A win for Peter Obi from the tribunals will mean a fresh start for Nigeria, all those politicians that are older than Nigeria would have returned to their village meetings to advice the younger generation instead of making a fool of themselves and ruining the lives of the poor youths.

It's not a crime to build hope on top of nothing

BIZNess123:


After obi was soundly, roundly and totally flogged at the poll by his Lord tinubu the jagaban...he still went to the court to challenge the victory.. the Cain obi will be flogged with this time is still been prepared from bourdillion

They asked tortoise when he will return from his journey and he answered "until I'm disgraced"

The delusion of the losers will soon be topped with disgrace
