Don’t embarrass yourself in public.

Tinubu’s drug case is a criminal case. Criminal cases are never statute barred. It means it can be resurrected even in hundred years time.

Obi’s nomination is a civil matter that must be challenged within 14 days or it becomes dead and buried.

Lastly, in Zamfara, did INEC wait for one year before rejecting APC candidates?

Babamide:
If them start to dey burn INEC offices and kill their officials in the south east now, Una go raise mouth. You did not monitor primaries but you went ahead to publish candidate names and print ballot with the party logo. Criminal organisation

Penguin2:
Rest.

Obi was returned unopposed by voice affirmation.

So there was no need for voting by delegates.

But even if delegates voted, the presidential primary happened over one year ago and can no longer be challenged.

Tell your paymasters to try another thing.

THEGALADIMA:
You are wrong.

Sheuns:
AD is still alive as we speak. He left AD with some key members and formed AC. I thought it was AD that transformed to AC too, not until I saw AD campaign posters in 2015 or 2019.

I don’t dislike him. I only pointed an observation.

CodeTemplar:
So in all this, it is the obidient status that pained your lean brain?

SKIBiNSKI:
Yes, i agree. But what were American Embbassy staffs doing in the East? There are no Embbassies in the East.

SKIBiNSKI:
No American were killed, America has confirmed that none of their citizens were killed, it is just fake news.

MXrep:
The attack was on Monday not Tuesday. Secondly, to h3ll with US official, nothing special about them, thirdly, attack by criminal doesn't mean the criminal control the area. Dud any criminal set up any form of government like we have in Kaduna and Niger states? Criminal attack SW even more

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?

If u and that woman called Iyaabe have common sense,u should have done ur search and not listen to what people say online.

Liars...that woman most especially is a wild mouth. She talks before reasoning...typical of where she comes from.


Below is the list of Obi Datti legal representatives.

Tinubu's minions were waiting today to mock one of Peter Obi's legal team, Ikpeazu Onyechi (SAN) who's the lead counsel to Adeleke if he lost out to Oyetola but they are disappointed are hiding everywhere mourning in pains.

They have now shifted the goalpost to "hope u guys won't complain of bias when Tinubu is confirmed winner by the supreme court?"

I have this to say to them. As long as the judgements are based on merit and not "technicalities" as emphasised by the appeal court yesterday, Tinubu can NEVER win both at the appeal court and supreme court and Adeleke won on merit.
Same will be applicable to Peter Obi.
APC's only hope at the tribunal or supreme court is based on technicalities. They can't escape the solid petitions against them and INEC on merit.

You said Obi should go to court, he's in court already.
Goodluck to all true lovers of democracy. Goodluck to all OBIdients worldwide.

Tifnubudrugs:
You don't even know your left from your right, that's why can't even comprehend Nigeria's situation.

The coming months and years will clear you. The economy is already on the verge of collapse if nothing enduring is done.

Tifnubudrugs:
It is becoming clearer that eyeneck select is unfit and unqualified to rule Nigeria. He is an international drug lord and rogue. His entire family are so corrupt.

However, to stabilize the country and quietly ease him out, Osinbajo should take over from May 29. There is no way the drug baron will be able to win in court, considering the 5 damning cases in court.

If Osinbajo should be the interim government head, he will pacify yorubas, particularly the bigots who will not be happy that the drug baron was stopped. He will also ensure there is stability. The courts will now judge the case freely.

That's the only viable way out for this country otherwise, I foresee crises.

Pepperdem88:
This May is going to be very long for many APC supporters and non APC members who follow this evil contraption of a party. Brace yourselves because you will need it

Expect breaking new from the ICC against Tinubu. Expect fire works after then. Those who are laughing now will cry this month. What happened in 93 will play out like a movie with new twist in 23.
The record setters of 2006 in court are here again to make a new record in 2023. History is gonna happen and their is nothing the witches of Jagaban will do about it.

Johans2023:
protest is a right, and every Nigerian will protest since they do not vote for Tinubu.
Out of the 25 million votes, Tinubu manage to rig 8 million. What do you think the 17 million voters will say? Tinubu couldn't get up to 15% of the total vote cast yet foolish people like you are claiming that he got majority votes.
As it stand now 85% of Nigerians didn't vote for tinubu, how do you expect 15% to rule over 85%. Even during the military regime we had never seen Nigerians rejected a president like tinubu. Can the country move forward if 85% of Nigerians didn't participate in governance?
Anyways, some of you are so dumb that you don't even know what is leadership. Without the cooperation of those 85%, I swear this country will be a mess.

PoliticalUpdate:
I saw this morning on Track news the dates fixed for the hearing of the Election tribunal cases slated on the 11th,12th and 13th of May, 2023. Please I want Nairalanders to verify the authenticity of this news.
If it is true, then God's hand is at work. Because a prophet prophesied the date for the hearing to be 13th of May, and he spoke about who won the Election case - this was in the first week of March.

Emir8:
I'm a lawyer and I don't like replying naive children on this platform but let me educate you. No court has declared Buhari winner of the 2019 election. Atiku's case against Buhari was dismissed by both Court of Appeal and Supreme Court for lacking merit because Atiku based his case on INEC portal election results will INEC argued that it does not use portal for collation of results in 2019 election. So any presidential candidate of 2019 having a pending case can still claim victory.

Man, I have been on this subsidy thing for years. Initially, I was pro-subsidy, then in 2011/12, I read more and woke the 'ell up.



1.I support reducing cost of governance, always have. Subsidy spending is a big part of the heavy duty cost of governance. Has been since 1973

2.Subsidy removal is to reduce our dependency on taking loans.

Here is how it works. In 2011 dec, fuel was n65, and the landing cost/production cost was N99. If we kept fuel at N65, the landing cost being N500 or more as at Spetember last year, that means that subsidy cost would have jumped from N34 in 2011 to N434 by Spetember last year

Then add the fact that fuel consumption is increasing year in year out.

Where do they get the money to pay for subsidy? Budget. And at the end, if fuel was N65, the amount we would have been spending on subsidy would have eaten our budget, plus we would be taking loans to pay for the budget and other loans incurred.

The only way we can pay for subsidy is if every Nigerian above the age of 21 pays taxes of 40-50% of our income, and even then it may not be enough.

The problem with subsidy is, the cost of production is not controlled by government. Even when we were refining fuel in this country, our zeal to make fuel cheap led to us forcing the refineries to run at a loss....which is why they are all messed up.




The only way to build a refienry is to remove subsidy.

Subsidy means prices of fuel are set below the production price. When that happens, there are massive losses. The result...there isn't enough money to pay for refinery upkeep.

The subsidy paid is meant to cover for the losses. The problem is, we cannot effing predict how much the difference between the production price and the government price is going to be for a given year. Like for last year...government budgeted x for subsidy, only for Ukrainian war to shoot up prices of oil, and throw the whole budget into confusion. By July 2022, we had spent an equivalent amount of what we spent in 2021 on subsidy.

See the problem.


It is either we remove subsidy now, or we spend more than our budget subsidising fuel. This holds even if we close all leakages, get the exact amount of fuel we import into this country, or refine fuel at home. Refining fuel is borderline expensive, and selling it at a lower price is a nice way to sabotage domestic refining.
