TheBizGenius:Now, excuse me. Let's be more reasonable, as this is a discussion forum. There's no need to subject your opinion or that of any other to tribal, party, religious or people sentiments. The issue has little or nothing to do with Tinubu. It doesn't affect him in anyway, neither is he the only elected official that the law applies to. He doesn't have any case of forgery, neither can any be proved or even raised as we speak. With all the media noise, none of his opponents raised a case of forgery against him. Reno Omokri that did his due diligence got convinced. So, it's not a Tinubu position, or a muslim position, or APC position or tribal position. It's an electoral reform, worked on by over 300 people elected from all the states in the country including the FCT. i rightly used VAR in my analogy because it is relatable. It's used to check cheating and mistakes before the end of the game. You don't use it after everyone has gone home and collected their cups and monies. As for athletics, you should understand that lab results can come out long after the competition, so the athletes and their federations are agreed on it. They test them before and after and randomly, especially the winners/medalists. for them, post-competition testing is especially important. Why, because performance enhancing drugs are most detectable after exertion. This is clearly different from a forged certificate that you should have checked out before elections. In athletics, pre-competition tests are easier to evade, so until such technology is found, they'd likely continue that method. Another reason is that samples are stored for up to 10 years, and as detection technology improves, laboratories can re-test them. It's an entirely different scenario from what we're talking about. |

advanceDNA:A president is a president na, whether elected or sitting i didn't specify. It simply makes sense to sort out those issues pre-election than after. No one is saying that you shouldn't sort out the issues or that you should forge documents. What we are saying is that there should be order and time for everything. That's why it's called REFORM, an attempt to improve. They've looked at the past and probably looked around other democracies. Democracy is about the will of the people, not primarily about courts. Tribunals are to try to make sure that the will of the people/majority prevails. They are charged with checking if there was cheating or rigging IN the election. They shouldn't be the ones to solve your past village problems. It is not bypassed but ordered/arranged. If you have a problem with the person you're contesting with, solve it before the contest begins. It's not new, too much or unreasonable to ask. No one has made fraud unchallengeable. You can challenge fraud at any time but there's a process. Again, a company depends on employment law and the employment contract. Which differs from place to person. Same way the electoral system depends on electoral law and contract. Some elected officials have immunity, some don't. If they do anything criminal, you can always use legal means to convict them. Like i mentioned earlier, it's not a new thing or Nigerian thing. Ask the US that most of us are following. |

advanceDNA:When i said forgery, i clearly explained it as an ACCUSATION. Accusing someone is different from conviction or disqualification. Point is, make your accusations before the elections, not after. Under the Constitution of the United States, removing a president is intentionally difficult to prevent political instability. That's why you'd hardly see them having awkward election cycles. In your company illustration again, both parties have usually agreed to verification and consequences. If there's no such agreement, the company can be sued, that's law for you. You can't sack people for whatever reason without compensation, except you both agreed. That's how the law works. |

advanceDNA:There's no bypass here, this same thing is obtainable in many countries across the world. Before election: courts may disqualify the candidate. After election, removal usually requires impeachment + court confirmation. Not just courts removing an elected official. Maybe the world is 'fraudulent', but it's the usual practice in many democracies. They call it balance of power, it's not a Nigerian thing. You must be aware of the US president being impeached twice and even convicted. He'd have been long gone in Nigeria. |

advanceDNA:It's not a company, it's a democracy with its own constitutional laws. Even in your illustration, you can't just sack people on contract except it is clearly stated and agreed by both parties. The law doesn't work like that in many places. Do your due diligence. Law has process, not jungle justice. |

advanceDNA:It's an issue of FORGERY, not that he's unqualified. IF you feel that his certificate was forged, go to court before elections. Don't bring up such matters AFTER elections. Disqualify him before the process starts. Commonsense. It's like saying VAR should disqualify a goal after the competition or World Cup, when the winner has gone home and collected all money and prizes, and everyone in the country has rejoiced and the whole world has reported it. In short, don't complicate things. Sort it out on time. This is not much to ask as we grow our democracy and reforms. 2 Likes |

TUANKU:i guess you should have asked on what basis or level. i was thinking in terms of scale. We could afford what the UAE built or started to build around that time. If we built our own Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Lake Towers, and Business Bay, The Palm Islands and the other artificial islands that they built, our own Dubai Metro, Al Maktoum International Airport, and Dubai Mall. If we added the same MW of electricity that the UAE added in that timeframe. Today, he'll be head and shoulders ahead. We have the population and the people, the weather and the geography. Qui sera sera. |

zyphr:Because they knew he wasn't a democrat and not an heir to the Abiola '93 win they were fighting/struggling for. The AD guys were like a continuation of the SDP/Abiola loyalists. OBJ was seen as military set, no different from the IBBs and Abachas and Buharis then. Took a while to convince majority of the South West to 'forgive' or connect with any of them. The SW resisted and suffered from military the most. From Awolowo to Fela to Abiola and the NADECO guys. Interestingly, by 2003, OBJ had his 'revenge' on the SW and captured ALL the states, except the last man standing's state, in his military-style do-or-die rigging machinery. The powers that be didn't see Jagaban coming or conquerable. Till date, they still continue to throw everything possible at him, but he apparently has God's backing. 23 Likes 5 Shares |
