Chidibe212:
Please sir, Abuja is not a state. FCT is not a state. Let's assume you are from Benue state and FCT (which I believe you know the full meaning) is moved to Benue State, kindly note that Benue will no longer be regarded as a State but a Federal Capital Territory. Thanks

Who said Abuja is a state? In a previous Supreme Court ruling, Abuja FCT has been for the purpose of elections only regarded as a state. Like I said earlier, this is the reason why Obi is considered to have won 12 states when in fact he won in 11 states and Abuja.

OredoPikin:
it is what the law says bro

they are not special rather the law made abuja so.

after the current case in court, u can go to ur representative at the national assembly to move the emotion for its amendment.

as it stands now, abuja is considered special because its the FCT and its expected u get at least 25% there

Pure nonsense, the constitution doesn't grant any special privileges to residents of Abuja especially in terms of voting.
Abuja is only giving the status of a state to protect the rights of the residents to participate in the voting process just like other Nigerians.
Obi is considered to have won 12 states even though he won 11 states and the FCT for this reason.

OredoPikin:
you are still not getting it.

you must have 25% in FCT and 24 other states.
having it in FCT with 24 other states is not enough
having it in 36 states without FCT is also not enough

Why not just go and write English and Mathematics and forget about other subjects before seeking admission in University?

You are not explaining why it is not enough to win in all the 36 states in Nigeria and still not win because you couldn't get 25% in the FCT. Are there more Nigerians living in the FCT? Are the votes in the FCT more special than the rest of the country?

OredoPikin:
hello sir

read the write up again?

if u buy maggi without buying salt, you have not delivered the message you were sent, vis-a-vis

if u like have 100% in FCT without getting the highest votes cast and meeting 25% in 24 other states, you have not meet the requirement.
if u also like, win all the 36states without getting 25% in FCT (which is not even possible), you will have to go for another election in FCT

that is what the law says
it doesnt have to make sense to u

Why not have the election in the FCT alone then? What is the purpose of having the election in the 36 states?

tesppidd:
24 States and The FCT.

In Nigeria, FCT is never written or spoken of, as a State.

If it were, then the law would have been stated simply as "in 24 States".

Am not a Tinubu supporter but honestly my own interpretation is 24 States are required, with or without The FCT.

I hope I am wrong anyway.

Your interpretation is the most logical since all votes carry equal weight everywhere in Nigeria.
Any other interpretation is absurd.

He didn't, and all Nigerians happens to live in Osun, Lagos and Abuja.

Too many brainless posts on nairaland.

Wizman.

Stoplying:
Ukrainian agricultural products are of very bad quality, do not buy them, do not consume them, they are not good for your health.

You are talking nonsense. Ukraine produces high quality grains for the world market.

Allisgud:
If I have my way I will raise Chinese Nigeria children by marrying a Chinese or Japanese,those people brain are hot always about technology

Nonsense, their countries just take science and technology education more seriously. They don't have a different brain from anyone else.

emapeteum:
Great fit, but where is the hoisted flag? Academic achievement, for a black man, is a personal achievement and has no effect on society as a whole. Is this the season of praising our tribal men and women who are having a first-class, where most of these first-class products lack the wisdom to contribute positively to the development of society? After tearing GWR, is now the era of the best jamb score and first-class.
Nations are celebrating true contributions to solving societal problems in which a few of them are awarded the Nobel and other prizes, but my countrymen are celebrating kids with acquired knowledge simply to outdo other tribes whom the writer of this news is trying to achieve.
Nigerian musicians, because of their originality, promote the image of Nigeria more than these so-called first class where the writer claimed the Russians hoisted the Nigerian flag as if that solve the security and economic issues Russia is currently facing.

You got it all wrong. Some very successful countries are actively courting brilliant people like this young woman by giving them residence permits.
We need all the top notch engineers and doctors and scientists we can get, and they are very very important to the development of the country.

AlexBells:
You talk about building empire when the British saved your ass from 16 years war, rather than fight the british you fell like a pack of avalanches, yet you were envious of Benin Kingdom, Ekumeku resistance fought the british for over 30 years and we won indirect rule but you were totally subjugated with your so called empires

You didn't win any indirect rule. The British on their own decided on how they will rule the colonies. Try not to garnish your arguments with lies.

LyfeJennings:
That woman should be dealt with
What nonsense!
If she had actually gone to celebrate that festival, I am very sure it won't end well

Under what law or constitution? Some of you just come online to display your ignorance. The right to practice your religion is not limited to any particular religion.

I stand with Asari Dolubo, let the Ibos go.

Charlie boy, Oby Ezekwezili and the rest will have nothing to say about this. Bunch of hypocrites

Sweetrosie:
Op you're a liar...igbos are going nowhere,we wanted to go but not now, it's already too late.we are going nowhere.


You see this one Nigeria, we must enjoy it.

You must leave because we knew all along that you had no intention of leaving in the first place.
Biafra was just an instrument of blackmail and it is no longer potent as it used to be.

[quote author= post=124229344]Name them here, when others dominants the companies in your region[/quote]Name what? So, suddenly you can no longer read even after someone posted it for you here?

[quote author= post=124229107]https://snfltd.com/about-us/

Even if is an Indian company 99% industries in the state are owned by Igbos unlike west[/quote]Indians and YORUBA to be precise. 😆 lol

[quote author= post=124228615]These are Anambra products[/quote]Hehehe, some of the companies are even owned by Indians and Yoruba. You are so pathetic.

The same folks who came out sounding sanctimonious during Kemi Adeosun NYSC certificate saga are now up in arms in support of JAMB forgery.
God is great.

Remii:
this is immaterial and not connected. they are not saying that she is not brilliant or could not have scored the mark, but she didn't at this exam.

Ogbon yin a ma po si loruko Olorun.
Spot on.

As much as I would like him to be warned and not fired he is most likely to going to lose his job.
It is not within your capacity to comment on behalf of the company.

LegendHero:
It’s sarcasm.

Don't mind me.

Lutherblaq:
if he knew he has no idea about the presidency then why did he contested,

and for your information i did not say or write any word close to I AM INtELLIGENT in my comment so Bleep off and never jump on mentions kid!
this my last warning.

He is implementing his own ideas which is being applauded by sensible people all over the world. What are your own ideas? Stupid tantrums?

festacman:
I don't understand this. What about the other candidate Umeh Nkechinyere from Anambra State that JAMB certified as scoring the highest? Why is she not being celebrated or given scholarship? Why is everybody focused on this girl with doubtful result?

People focus on her because she cheated and continues to defend it.
She is trying to steal what belongs to Nkechi and that is totally unacceptable.

LegendHero:
They are exercising their constitutional right to protest. Even if the lion kill 1000 people in France, the government should not stop free speech and freedom of movement.

The people should just raise the French flag up and the Lion will just waka pass them.

If they protest for 30 more days, UN will take over the country.

#EndSARS
#EndFrance

You are basically ready to thousands of people to defend your right to protest violently?
Though your right to protest doesn't include violence.
You are one of the most reasonable folks around here, why this sentiment?

Lutherblaq:
Mr President, with all due respect you have absolutely done nothing, with all you have done since you resume office as our leader you have been acting worse than the ex president buhari.

[b]“We cannot afford the kind of
carnage that followed the last
protest. Right-thinking Nigerians
know this. This democracy and
freedom of expression rhetoric is a bone in the neck. The powers that be kuku know that we don’t have a democracy so why pretend and let a few trouble makers ruin the common good?[b]

Since you have better ideas why don't you put them forward here and perhaps it will get to the president.
What a load of nonsense.
Folks will just come here and type some dumb hyperbolic nonsense and think they have said something intelligent.

ImmaculateJOE:
Trust Me, Ndigbo will fly this young lady abroad where she would get the best Education....

Modified
For those quoting me, Jamb is the only culprit here, whether you not Young Mmesoma scored 362.
Its not her fault that Jamb had technically issues..
Many of them are tagging me tribal bigot, but they look away, when many Yoruba's here in this forum called Ndigbo all sort of names when the news first broke out..

Yes, I'm backing the Young Mmesoma simply because she is Igbo, if you aren't comfortable with it, jump in the closest lagoon. Nitwits.

Did she commit the crime on behalf of Ibos? Folks like you are the real problem of our country.

1sttimeangie:
This had to be done. We will never progress with subsidies. N443 billion was bugeted for fuel subsidy 2023, thats just 6 months, how can we continue like that. You can take away subsidy using another subsidym, it doesnt make any economical sense
Is it going to be hard, yes! but we will survive this and hopefully the monies would be used for viable projects that will benefit all.

People who doesn't support subsidy removal are only interested in kicking the can forward so the country can eventually go bankrupt and when that happens guess who is going to be blamed for it.

Reminderz:
you're the only one who commented right... you see that OP up there, is just a self proclaimed clown 🤡 we all know here.... she's just heartbroken, frustrated and lonely...

shey na only men dey get sick or na only men dem dey abandon? your last statement where you said a man and a woman should treat themselves well is the ultimate point because a man can still treat a woman well and end up being abandoned as well... most times, due to the fact that women are unpredictable is the reason why some men marry more than one wife to avoid bullshits like this in the future, at least if one leaves, one will stay...

and please, a man marrying more than one wife and taking care of them and the kids is not an act of irresponsibility... it's not the same as sleeping around or having side chics... in fact, it shows he's disciplined... as long as he carries out his responsibilities...

OP, go and heal yourself, men are not the cause of your problems, you're solely responsible for the choices you make in life...

There's still no guarantee that you wouldn't be abandoned especially if you are a nasty human being.
One wife or ten wives, just be kind and considerate to people around you, that is not weakness.

Kingsnairaland:
Russia and US are never the same. While Russia has no hegemonic tendencies or ambition or seeking regime change elsewhere or have a bloody foreign policy, The US is the opposite of these. US alone has been directly or indirectly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths since 2001. The world hasn't had peace since WW2 ended and somehow, US seem to be the devil killing that peace.

Russia since WW2 ended has never stepped foot or interfered with any country's affairs uninvited. Those Georgian and Ukraine situation happened which points fingers at one devil - the US. Why is the US constantly lobbying these countries that have been at peace with Russia since the beginning of time?

Even the Finland bordering Russia that joined NATO recently has never had any issues or dispute with Russia since WW2 ended yet you're trying to make us believe Russia is devil and US the savior right??

And talking about the US, why would a country that has no enemies bordering her or seeking to invade/destroy her be needing a whooping $700bn defense budget if not to create chaos and unrest all over the world? They have hundreds of military bases around every nook and cranny of the world defending against God knows what and looking for troubles and creating provocations here and there but somehow, Russia is the bad guy.

Mtchewwww.

Russia doesn't have hegemonic tendencies? You guys are sometimes funny. The annexation of Crimea, the invasion of Georgia and the current invasion of Ukraine are what exactly?

Such naivety.

Dialpad:
I have a strong feeling that all the posters above me are from a particular region of the country.

They drink petrol for breakfast that is why they wouldn't stop crying over subsidy removal.

Absolute bunkum, isn't ironic that the same folks who supported Emefiele in making it impossible for Nigerians to get hold of their hard earned money are now suddenly empathetic towards poor people?

Hypocrites everywhere.
