let's do a quick calculation, by what I'm seeing, each bundle of #500 should be a hundred thousand and I'm seeing an 18X10X20 (I.e LxBxH) arrangement (Not certain). So the amount should be 18*10*20*100000 = #360000000 or there about...
360 million by my rough calculation, not even up to a billion.

is there no stipulated period that INEC should wait in case of appeal but issuing certificate of return to the other party

Samtoby:
Your problem exactly How many post av u see me supporting Buhari or Aisha on any of the post here??.. Besides my comment is on youths supporting this leaders not politicians...

Last time I check Saraki is APC, including his deputy.. yet u are crying that APC members are not probe? I don't know much on politics but the PDP members that are probed are not in office, yet Saraki (which is Senate President for crying out loud) and his deputy are still in power, yet they are being probe. I ask again, what's your problem??

Why is defeat so hard for you to accept?? PDP lost an election which is more than a year old and your heart still bleeds?? Why am I even surprise, your so called supporting party can't overcome the defeat either, so it runs in the party..

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, to vacate office immediately for submitting false information to his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, for the party’s governorship primary in December 2014.

Justice Okon Abang in a judgment on Monday ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately issue a certificate of return to the plaintiff, Uche Ogah, who polled the second highest number of votes in the primary.

Uchechukwu S. Ogah is a Nigerian oil magnate, entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist. Ogah is the President of Master Energy Group, a conglomerate with over 15 subsidiaries and interests across a variety of industries.


In 2014, Dr. Uche Ogah, rejected the outcome of the Abia State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary held in Umuahia.

Ogah, who came second in the contest with 103 votes, claimed that the exercise was fraught with fraud.

Ogah said there was no credible and proper accreditiation of the delegates who participated in the primary, giving way to admission of non-delegates to vote in the exercise.

“I know there was no formal accreditation and people were given tags just to go and vote. Everything in Abia is fraud; why? Everything, from beginning to the end,” he said.

This is where Name Checker Association of Nairaland is needed, not the usual tribe bashing threads.

All the dates of purchase coincide with the time Goodluck Jonathan became the president of Nigeria.

Well, Goodluck Jonathan's destiny was to bankrupt Nigeria!

How can contractors work for three years without being paid? They must be very charitable to have done so....Jonathan has really been dealt many punches of blames, but this one is certainly a weak one.

Cash is over 2.05tr NGN in Nigeria alone.
NGN =204,888,835,727.55 bn
Usd = 9,275,363,504.76 bn
Gbp = 5,992,803.01 m
Euro = 314,649 k
204,888,835,727.55 +1,845,790,000,
000+1,719,934,464+70,796,625 = 2.05tr NGN.
I can now see reason why the names can't be released. We will mob Jonathan and his minions.
This doesn't include houses or aircraft.

Truth be told, corruption skyrocketed under his watch,
The only thing commendable about his tenure was the peaceful transition.
If need be he should be probed, his hench man Okonjo Iweala admitted no money was saved to the National Reserves.
His kins men on Nairaland should admit it, no need for sentiments. With the little population, in comparison to other states and the 13% derivative formula Bayelsa should be a nice destination, for investment and a hub for South South, but their leaders have WASTED the resources. ND Avengers ask your leaders where your money went to...
The Time for all States to Develop its resources has come...

LONG LIVE NIGERIAN YOUTHS!

Businessideas:
You have started empty boasting again. Just few days ago, an Ex Chadian president was jailed. Abacha did same to Gen Obasanjo, Buhari jailed Alhaji Shehu Shagari and heaven didn't fall. Remember, President Buhari said, I belong to Nobody. He will be arrested and you will blow up pipelines as usual.

Lalasticlala ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Day don break for EFCC HQ

"The spokesman for the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation in 2015, arrived the EFCC in a police convoy" Imagine tax-payers money in mis-action

1. IGP Solomon Arase should query the Team that escorted him to the HQ, if he was not arrested.
2. "He was invited by the anti-graft agency over an alleged N840m he received during the campaign." Did he come with his cheque book to issue refunds?
3. How many lawyers arrived with him?
4. When is his boss (Jonathan) going to be invited for an interview sef?

modath:
No matter how great the Laws guiding conducts of citizens are, if the "interpreters" of said laws have "auditory block ", the pronouncements will never go the right way!

Where in the world would an individual be granted lifetime injuction from investigation let alone prosecution for corruption as is Peter Odili's case with EFCC... Having a supreme court judge as a wife is a "blessing"..

Quakertellicus1:
The summary of the article can be encapsulated here...



What they don't tell you is that loosening foreign exchange controls works....for a while. If we are not earning enough forex to replace the forex lost by the loosening of the controls.....we could enter a state where our savings account is drained down to zero....and we are left with no option but to take a big fat IMF loan that would take decades to clear off again.

And we should also not forget the massive devaluation of the naira that would result...leading to marked increase in prices....and inflation.

The article is just a big and unnecessary advert for loosening the controls. While at the same time it pretends that there would be no side effects of loosening the controls. Bad economics...bad article.

The first pix got me laffing why the tin open mouth like that na

obajoey:
but banks have not started closing before their usual closing time now, network operators have not started sending messages to people that there wont be newtwork tomorrow due to fuel issue. And you said this is worst?

bloodyBLOGGER:
One of the major problems wrong with Nigerians is that we forget easily. This is the reason why hardened criminals and looters in the past can easily come back and contest for public office to the extent of winning. It is so sad that some people, mostly youths who are the leaders of tomorrow are going about with the slogan "#BringBackOurCorruption". They say they want the last administration presided by Good luck Ebele Jonathan back in power cos they can't stand the current fuel scarcity amidst other challenges that I believe the Nation will breeze through in due time.

This brainwashed blind bats who love to view things ethnically are quick to forget that the fuel scarcity experienced towards the end of the last administration's tenure was really unbearable compared to what we are currently facing now. Then, major sectors were shutting down, from telecommunications to the media, from aviation to banking. Nigerians were literally cut off from the rest of the world during that period. A period in which getting a bus to the bank to withdraw money was difficult cos buses had no fuel. When you manage to get to the bank, you are told you arrived late cos they close early due to shortage of diesel. Was the power sector any different?

Take a look at the pictures of fuel scarcity events that took place in the last administration below and tell me that Nigerians didn't make a good choice in voting them out.

This story is heart breaking. I can imagine how much pain the families of the deceased kids will be in at this point. I hope they find it within themselves to bear the loss with dignity. Shit happens in life.

Also—I am reminded of a similar incident— which occurred around 2002 in Enugu.

Two kids, while playing one hot afternoon entered an old bus which belonged to a panel beater and was no longer in active use. While inside, they shut the hatch and remained stuck for about 2 hours until they suffocated—as a result of inhaling chemicals stored in the bus .

When they were later found, a mob which had formed quickly torched the panel beaters workshop and beat him until he fell into a coma. The bodies; yet to be retrived. People waited for police to come. When they finally arrived, the first policeman who opened the bus was knocked out cleanly by the fumes from the chemicals. The other officers stayed clear until —I think Officials from UNTH—arrived the scene with proper equipment.

Now after proper analysis of the events leading to the deaths. It became clear that the Panel beaters only offence was stocking a controlled substance which he had the right to do. Only then it was too late. Workshop gone, left eye gouged, Clients cars torched. The crowd made a wrong call that day, a call that no collective feeling of remorse can make recompense for. Whether to the bereaved families nor to the Panel beater; whose life changed forever that hot afternoon.



Police will investigate this matter and get to the root. Make no mistake, Nigeria police works.
