Section 134 of the Constitution provides as follows:

(1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election –

(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and



(2) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election-

Interpretation of the law is a not as straight forward as many people think.

Let me ask one question

Why do people use to say "We have 36 States in the Nigeria including FCT?"

This is simple.

Is 25% in FCT mandatory?
LoLzz.

What are we going to believe now.
Some said pdp won kastina

valicious1:
You obviously are uninformed. How many nothern states have tinubu won? Obi is seriously dragging Lagos with tinubu with a very tiny margin so the party ain't over yet

Stop disgracing yourself

Tinubu is performing better in the north than obi.
Obi should be more concerned about the results coming from north. He has won the south already.
Atiku is performing better in the North than in the south

Obi is performing better in the south than in the north.

Nobody is wining this election, there's going to be rerun

Omoawoke:
He can't get 25% in 24 states.

Northern states Bleep him up big time

Mehn, Dem kill pdp in Lagos oo

vhykeeytor:
LP wins Alimosho with over 9k votes difference

What's the update now, how many lgas remaining

Omoawoke:
Remove ogun and oyo from that list. It is not certain at all

He got 25% in Ogun right?

Omoawoke:
Obi is out of the race even if he wins South east with 7Million votes.

He is not getting 25% in up to 20 states, the northwest and north east bombed Obi and to make matter worse, he didn't get 25% in Ekiti, Osun and Oyo

Race is between Atiku and Tinubu

He can still get.
Don't be too confident

1. Enugu
2. Anambra
3. Ebonyi
4. Abia
5. Imo
6. Delta
7. Edo
8. Bayelsa
9. Akwaibom
10. Rivers
11. Crossriver
12. Plateau
13. Taraba
14. Benue
15. Lagos
16. Kaduna
17. Ogun
18. Oyo
19.
20.

As you can see, Obi is closer to the trophy than anybody else.

[quote author= post=121180096]SOUTHERN KADUNA PEOPLES UNION (SOKAPU) PRESS STATEMENT (23th February, 2023).

SOKAPU Did Not Endorse One Presidential Candidate

This is to clear the seeming misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the joint Press Conference of SOKAPU and Southern Kaduna Leadership Council (SKLC) on the direction that Southern Kaduna should follow during next Saturday's Presidential election.
For the sake of clarity, the two bodies reached the following decisions:
Southern Kaduna should not vote for a party whose candidate and his running mate are of the same-faith.
In view of the strong reasons in favour of both the PDP and LP in Southern Kaduna, we enjoin our people to vote for the Presidential candidate of any of the two parties.
For the National Assembly elections, our people should vote any candidate of their choice from any political party based on local peculiarities.
We believe the above clarifications will better guide our people to vote appropriately. We also hope the clarifications will enable our friends and wellwishers to better understand and appreciate our position or direction.
Finally, we are again calling on our people to come out in their numbers to vote candidates that have the inclination, desire and potential to concretely address their concerns. Furthermore, we are appealing that during the election, we conduct ourselves in the peaceful and brotherly manner that is the hallmark of our people.
Thank you.

Signed:
Awemi Dio Maisamari
SOKAPU President

NATO and Russia war? A war with Nato is an indirect war with Russia. Russia must have wasted a lot of military resources on Nato before they would take on America and by the time America start rolling out their MACHINES, lolaazzzzz

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Russia accused the United States on Wednesday of intimidation by sailing a U.S. naval destroyer close to Russia's border in the Baltics and warned that the Russian military would respond with "all necessary measures" to any future incidents.

Speaking after a meeting between NATO envoys and Russia, their first in almost two years, Moscow's ambassador to NATO said the April 11 maritime incident showed there could be no improvement in ties until the U.S.-led alliance withdrew from Russia's borders.

"This is about attempts to exercise military pressure on Russia," the envoy, Alexander Grushko, said. "We will take all necessary measures, precautions, to compensate for these attempts to use military force," he told reporters.

U.S. Ambassador to NATO Douglas Lute pressed Russia about the incident, warning it had been dangerous. The United States has said the guided missile destroyer USS Cook was on routine business near Poland when it was harassed by Russian jets.

"We were in international waters," a NATO diplomat reported Lute as telling Grushko during the NATO-Russia council meeting.

Despite what officials said was a calm and professional meeting, the public comments highlighted the state of tension that persists between the sides since Moscow's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea in March 2014 and its support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the NATO member states had, during the meeting, rejected Grushko's account of the crisis in eastern Ukraine, where 9,000 people have died since April 2014.

Stoltenberg said while there were "profound disagreements" over how to handle Europe's security, each side urgently needed to talk more and to use existing rules to reduce military risk.

Stoltenberg suggested revamping a Cold War-era treaty known as the Vienna document, which sets out the rules for large-scale exercises and other military activity, as well as telephone hotlines and other military communication channels.

"We have to use our lines of communication," he said. Russia's chief concern is NATO's biggest modernization since the Cold War, which is likely to include a military build-up in eastern Europe with a rotating, multinational force in Poland and the Baltics.

NATO says the plans are a proportionate response to Russian aggression following Moscow's annexation of Crimea, and the alliance had no forces in eastern Europe before the Ukraine crisis.

Poland and other NATO members in the Baltics worry about an increase in the Russian military presence in its Kaliningrad enclave, where Russia is positioning longer-range surface-to-air missiles.

NO AGREEMENT ON UKRAINE

The session of the NATO-Russia Council, which last met in June 2014, had been called in part to assuage Russia's concerns that it feels threatened by NATO. But core differences clearly remained afterwards.

NATO envoys had expressed concern about Russia's so-called snap exercises, where thousands of Russian troops carry out war games without any prior warning. "That is clearly destabilizing," a NATO diplomat said.

Stoltenberg said NATO members had rejected Grushko's description of the crisis in eastern Ukraine as a civil war.

"In the meeting, it was re-confirmed that we disagree on the facts, on the narrative and the responsibilities in and around Ukraine," Stoltenberg said after the meeting.

"Many allies disagree when Russia tries to portray this as a civil war. This is Russia destabilizing eastern Ukraine, providing support for the separatists, munitions, funding, equipment and also command and control," he said.

"So there were profound disagreements," he said.

Russia denies any direct involvement in eastern Ukraine.

THAAD will be deceived & defeated by the Russian Khibiny and the Krasukha-2 electronic warfare devices.

The Krasukha-2 mounted on ICBMs (Topol-M) or SLBMs (Bulava) from Russia will influence the brain of the fired missiles from the THAAD & change its target, which results in the missiles hitting false targets.

What I'm saying is; while incoming ICBMs from Russia approaches from the East, their useless & overrated THAAD will be firing interceptors at the West. U dig?

Lastly, lemme quickly tell you this; with these Russian electronic warfare devices - Khibiny, Moskva-1, Krasukha-2, Rtut’-BM, and President-S; No ICBM or SLBM can penetrate the defence of Russia. You can google these EW devices I listed above & read abut them.

Any war or confrontation between Amerika & Mother Russia will result in total annihilation of Amerika and her forces (Quote Me Anywhere).

Even old Patriot air defense system MIM-104D batteries shot down two Hamas UAVs during Operation Protective Edge in 2014 and later, on September 23, 2014 an Israeli Patriot battery shot down a Russian made Sukhoi Su-24 supplied to Syria which had penetrated Israeli airspace.

Appleyard:
Yeah. You see...i am not surprised or doubt anything about Russia when it comes to missile or rocket technology. The records are there to see. The S-400 is presently the talk of town, even among western circles. They still don't have answers for the S-300, and one can only wonder ''whats up'' about the S-500.. Stealth technology is beutiful, but its hardly a game changer, and when you consider that the S-400 is design to also defend against stealth, it further lend credence to the scary nature/possibility of the S-500 in relation to its capabilities.

These guys are gradually creeping us back to the arms race where Satan might be the only man with the last laugh.

S-400 a game change? Hello No!!! Ever since the history of man kind, there has never been a ''Super weapon'' . The super weapon is the mind of men.
All weapons are built to be defeated.

who made kokori a mouthpiece for the ss.

I wonder ooh.
who made Massob the mouthpiece of the entire south south region.

I have tried my possible best to enlighten some people here, I gave them an opportunity to sip from the fountain of knowledge but they refused.
But If you still think that the President is planning to steal our money by inflating some figures and miscalculation in the National Budget he presented openly to the Senate, entire Nigeria and to the whole world which everybody saw it both in home and abroad, in Apc, Pdp and even Kowa party - then feel free to go to the media and announce it and challenge it, in fact I ready to donate any amount of money to get it published and broadcasted in the media.

If you think that those who calculated the National Budget made some mistake by miscalculating our oil revenue money then please 'pm' / contact me @ 'jokay07@yahoo.com' cus I am ready to do everything humanly possible to get it broadcasted on the media.
THANKs!!!

Many people have started following Ben Murray Bruce on twittter so that thry will be able to copy whatever rubbish he tweets and rush to nairaland and paste it!! In fact many people have suddenly opened a twitter account cus of that!! What a shame!!

baralatie:
They are challenging the authenticity that 820 is the accrued revenue from oil as claimed by PMB
This is a different thing altogether

The mistake I made was to reply him. I thought my explanation would unyork his foolishness and open his eyes but I later see that No amount of tutelages can turn loose someone who derives pleasure from orchestrating ignorance at all axes.
Is it not funny to see some clowns challenging the structure and accuracy of a National budgets prepared by Ministry of Budget and National planning whic was presented openly not only to the senates but to the whole world to see and assess?
tell me, is it not funny?
If the president has the stealing our national money, will he do that by inflating figures in the National budget which he would himself present to the whole Nigerians and the media to see?
Only Ethernatruth believes that the President wants to steal our money by inflating figures in the budget- what a resounding stupidity cum ignorance.
Like I said, the kid needs to go back to school and resist for Waec.
Even my cousin in Secondary school was laughing when I showed him what that dummy posted on Nairaland.
I REST MY CASE!!

GiantParrot:
@ Jokay07

On my point 3, after taking a second look at your post, I see you actually addressed it. It is very surprising to me that government would claim that petroleum profit tax is non oil revenue. I can't see how that makes sense. I'd love to be enlightened on the rationale behind that. Saying other non oil companies pay tax is not a logical justification for why petroleum profit tax should be classified as non oil revenue. I'm sure that's self evident.

that could better explained under the tax system but i fink it's becauce the revenue is not generated from direct sales of crude oil

What is so complicated in that simple and little analysis? Truly we need to revamp our education sector.

EternalTruths:
You are still not making sense

Provide evidence of how much it cost to produce a barrel of oil.

You can't come online and quote figures without backing the figure with fact


If you say it cost $18 to get a barrel of oil, provide evidence of it.


I asked for evidence .




If you provide evidence of your figure from a reliable source, I will accept you are right.


Because the true figure could be $5 and not $18 dollar you quoted.

you could have used the google on your phone to browse and make researches about onshore and offshore activities in the oil and gas sector before you open a thread to spill the puss of your ignorance and illiteracy!! Take care, kid!!

EternalTruths:
You see why I regard you guys as illiterates


Buhari arrived at 830000 billion naira based on $38 dollar which you intentionally refused to calculate.


Now re do your calculation of what I highlighted blue using $38

You guys think we are illiterates like APC people

Now get as ass sitted on that bench, get a book and jot this analysis down.

4. Today the average cost of production per barrel in Nigeria is about[b] $18 per barrel[/b]. Actually some onshore field cost
are as low as $10 per barrel while some deep offshore and shallow offshore cost are as high as $25 dollar per barrel. Today more than 60% of Nigeria crude are from Offshore thus using an average cost of $18 per barrel
is realistic. Thus out of the $38 dollar per barrel price of oil, the net revenue to the govt is about $20 per barrel and the expected revenue to federal government from direct sales of Crude oil in 2016 is: = $20 x199naira/1$ x570240x366xbillion/1000000000= 830billion naira
From my estimation the Federal
government expected revenue from direct oil sales is about 830billion naira which is very close to 820 billion naira
estimated from federal
government.


If you still don't understand how we arrive at $20 per barrel, then you need to go back to school and resit for Waec!!

wirinet:
Are you guys (PDP) feigning ignorance or you are truly this ignorant?

So common sense tells you that the federal government would pocket the whole 2.2 million barrels by 365days by $38 by #200. I refuse to believe that you are not aware of how the FG and Nigeria as a whole earn revenue from oil, but just in case i will educate you.

The oil sold in the international market is not pocketed by the Federal government of Nigeria but shared between the oil exploiting companies and the federation using an agreed sharing formula (60:40) after production expenses had been deducted. Then the Federation's state which is 60% is then shared between the Federal Government, The 36 states and the 774 local government in the ration 54:24:22 (approximately). So this budget is the expected Federal Government expected share of our oil revenue, the states and local governments will also present their own budgets based on their own expedited share of our total earnings.

I hope you are wiser now.

I showed my little cousin in SS 2 about what the guy posted and he bursted into laughter. The guy is a living definition of ignorance!! Allow him to enjoy it!!

EternalTruths:
Multiply 2.2 million barrels by 365days by $38 by #200

You will get #6,102,800,000,000 trillionnaira

Multiply 2.2 Million barrels by 365days by $20 by #200

You will get #3,212,000,000,000 trillion naira




Tell me how come #860 billion naira


Buhari and APC can't scam me like you illiterates.

1. The Federal government budget is the Budget of the federal government alone. Not
the Budget of the country.
Thus from the Nigeria sharing formula, the Federal government takes about 54% of the total oil revenue accruing to the country
(Nigeria Federation).


2. Most of the oil production in Nigeria are JV and PSC. Using the JV template, Nigeria (the federation not Federal govt) only owns 60% of the oil produced and the Oil companies owns the remaining 40% of the oil produced per day . thus the 2.2 million per day, only is 0.6*2.2million=1.32million belong to Nigeria (The federation).
Federal govt share (Potential) =
0.54*1.32million=712,800 per day.


3. The actual average production per day is about 80% of the Potential production this is because of 20% shutdown for maintenance, unplanned shut downs, pipeline vandalisation etc.
Thus the Federal govt actual average production per day = 0.8*712,800=570,240.


4. Today the average cost of production per barrel in Nigeria is about $18 per barrel. Actually some onshore field cost are as low
as $10 per barrel while some deep offshore and shallow offshore cost are as high as $25 dollar per barrel. Today more than 60% of
Nigeria crude are from Offshore. thus using an average cost of $18 per barrel is realistic.
Thus out of the $38 dollar per barrel price of oil, the net revenue to the govt is about $20 per barrel. thus the expected revenue to federal government from direct sales of Crude oil in 2016 is:
= $20 *199naira/1$ *570240*366*billion/1000000000= 830billion naira
From my estimation the Federal government expected revenue from direct oil sales is about 830billion naira which is very close to 820 billion naira estimated from federal
government.
However, this is not all the federal govt get from having oil in this country. The oil companies pay company tax in hunderds of
billion of naira. But the govt choose to call it company tax
because other companies that are not oil companies pay tax too. However the company Tax of oil companies is about 85%
of their profit. Thus of the about 1.5 trillion naira expected revenue from Company Income Tax (CIT), Value Added Tax (VAT),
Customs and Excise duties, and Federation Account levies, about 50% of it are coming from oil companies.
Also another reason the govt is not getting much more currently from Direct oil sales is because of "Carry agreement" Most of the recent oil development and
investment in the last ten years on JV contract are mostly done on "Carry agreement".
Carry agreement is the contract between the govt through NNPC and Oil companies whereby the Oil companies provide all the
fund to invest in new field development (Instead of NNPC providing 60% of the cost),
and then the companies recover their money by collecting part of the federal govt oil share over time. That means some of the
oil that would have got to the Federal govt today have been collected by the federal govt ahead of time in the past. So they get less today.

I hope this information will cure your ignorance on this. Nobody is trying to dupe you. And you suppose to be wondering why you are the only one thinking about this calculation, well the answer is simple. It's because you are the only one chilling on the throne of ignorance!!
Apart from that, I can boldy assure you that with President Buhari - your money is safe!!
