Seriously, the analytical prowess of the current Nigerian youth is at an abysmal low.

If Aljezzera analyst says the escalation of crisis in the North is to reduce the voting power of the region, the resultant reduction of voting power is not a function of the numbers of thousands of people that are killed; it is the fact that hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of resident citizens are being displaced; they have no house address anymore neither do they have permanent place of residence.

So tell, how will would hundred of thousands or possibly millions of these people vote? Is it a displaced person they have no residence that will have polling booth to vote?

Then there is the issue of paralysing fear that has already being instilled in the minds of the people. These people have witnesses horrifying terror firsthand. Many people will be afraid of going to polling booths because they will be thinking, definitely, this terrorists will see this as an opportunity to strike.

So it is very true, the ongoing crisis, if continues till next year will definitely decimate the voting power of the North.

bia let me tell yu small history.
when buhari was the head of state,
do yu knw that his 2nd in command,idiagbon was the one controlling buhari and ruling nigeria ,uhm,
we heard more of idiagbon the 2nd in command,did this and that,
than buhari who is the head of state..
Bros,i no wan yan yu much.
jus ask your papa or ur mama wetin happen that time..
no vex o,no take am personal ,jus ask them,
afta that ,quote me..

I don't need ask my mum and dad. I was old enough at the time...

......Idiagbon controlling Buhari is another fiction of people's imagination. The fact was Buhari and Idigabon were of like minds and there was perfect synergy between them.

Idiagbon was more heard of because he had the unflinchingly support and trust of his boss.

Saying Buhari was under the control of Idiagbon really is very silly.

emmysoftyou:
buharis' facial countenance looks like someone yu can control and handle wel with wisdom..

Anyone that thinks he can control the Genera needs to have his head examined. I'm sure Tinubu entertains no such dreams because he knows who Buhari is. Buhari has been on the National Scene when Tinubu was still in primary school.

I didn't believe the news before, but with thee press release, now I do.

Are these the youths people are saying should come and take over. Sycophancy have already reached the universities. If GEJ gets a second term, before end of his four years, sycophancy would have reached the Primary and nursery school.

PVC tinz.....

this oyinbo don dey kolo small small...... na who dey fund this research sef....,.

Your pics doesn't prove anything. It does not prove that what they said took place didn't take place.

I think we should rather hear from OAU students, because I'm pretty sure you were not on ground.

........and the impunity and disregard for court orders, rulings and the rule of law continues.......

.....imagine we will see when GEJ gets his second term.....

....... hmmmn, before warned is before armed...

people please ignore this not nonsensical thread; do not diginify it with a response.

A thread of insufferable fo.ols....

......did any of you even bother to find out the ownership of the jet.......also some people are fighting so that Buhari gets APC WILL nomination even than Buhari himself......it was these people that prevailed upon Tambuwal to withdraw from the Presidential race......so you think a presidential aspirant like Buhari cannot have people that will charter plane for him....


......you people.. your desperation has made you to loose all sense of proper reasoning and logic..

seriously, Mr. Attorney in law has to explain himself. Nothing in the report by DSS mentioned fingerprinting at all.

So how was this man able to access information that DSS who are on ground were unable to know?

Or sir, are you merely speculating?

You are complete fool. Is it not advisable to keep quite when you know little about an issue instead of making mess of yourself? Were you not in the country when INEC informed the nation of the magnitude of multiple registrations discovered in its system and that many people were been prosecuted? If it was not a criminal offence, why were they facing prosecution? Were you not also aware that voters register in Lagos state was
B whittled down to 4.5 millions from the bogus 6 million used by Tinubu and Fashola to have their way in 2011? What did you think suddenly account for the reduction in voters population in Lagos in 2014? Was it not multiple registration and if APC was found by the DSS to be threading the same path, is it not a cause for concern? You are pathetic.

Bros, the name you're attributing to someone better fits you. What does APC Membership Register has to do with INEC Voters Register.

Membership Register is not for voting. Its for internal party administration. So if a patty decides to register one member 100 times, they are only messing themselves because the adverse effects of inaccurate data will be on the Patty and no one else.

So what is the concern of DSS with that. That data is private information of APC. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ELECTIONS. IS THAT SO DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO GRASP?

Friend, I am not in any way holding brief for DSS but my posts were centred entirely on facts in the public gare. Remember that the DSS did not set out to raid APC's registration centre since there was nothing suggesting the office belonged to the party. Lai Mohammed has not come out to counter the DSS on the absence of any inscription or signage indicating the office was theirs. So the security outfit acted based on petition and suspicion of clandestine and secretive activities taking place there. Their findings thereafter only revealed APC's connectivity and it's wrong for the party to blame DSS for the raid, after all, a search warrant was obtained to that effect.
Still referring to Osun State election, APC tried and still trying to garner public sympathy by referring to the number of people in their register as a pointer to their supremacy in Osun in terms of popularity and acceptability. If that election had gone against them, I can tell you that Osun would have been consumed in inferno. Juxtaposing that with this DSS discovery, what do you think APC will do if the number of people that vote for them in Lagos fall short of the number of registrants in their over bloated "register"? I can tell you it's chaos and that's one of the calls for concern. Elections in Lagos has never been free and fair and I am sure you know that.

The DSS said they watches the Center for 2 weeks, so therefore they know it was APC data center. And like I said, organisations don't go all out publicising the location of their data center to the world. You can be sure that in that area, there are several people that will know there is an APC data center there. Buts it not an information they want to advertise. Data centers a lot of times contain sensitive and vital information, that if destroyed may bring down their organisation.

Data centers don't have any interaction with the public. The data area not collected at the center. The center is meant for processing data into a computerised useful data base.

Oh you called the register a mere internal document of APC which does not have connection with 2015 elections? You are wrong. Have you forgotten how Aregbesola and Osun State chapter of APC boasted of their membership register which they used and are still using as evidence of their popularity and electoral success in the last elections? Do people of Osun need to begin to question such register? Is that themembership register APC is arming itself with to accept or a reject outcome of 2015 election? Is that why INEC discovered ghost voters of about 1.5 million voters in Lagos State register?

Exactly yes, it's a mere Membership Register and has nothing to do with 2015 elections, because its INEC Voters Register that is used for elections. And law courts don't give a damn about a membership register of any party, because as a party, you may put what you like there. So if the membership strength of your party is 2 million and you put 20 million, that is your private problem. noon e cares.

I am deeply disappointed with the kind of personality you are. Are you blaming law enforcement agents for carrying out their lawful responsibilities? Was it not explicitly stated in the release that DSS obtained warrant for the search. If the activities of APC were not clandestine, why did they not place an inscription or signage indicating the premises or office indeed belonged to them? Why? Since the party leaders had been pestering DSS to release any incriminating evidence to the public, is is not reasonable for the secrete service to avail the public of the findings of multiple registration for record purpose?. Wait for more possible revelations before justifying APC.

Data centers by their nature are supposed to be as private as possible. They don't have any business with the public. Why would any organisation want everyone in Lagos to know that the whole data of it's organisation is in particular spot. It's different from party secretariats and offices which are meant for interaction with the public.

Do you have any semblance of logical and intuitive reasoning in your system? APC had come out to tell Nigerians that millions of Nigerians had registered with them and that has formed the basis of boasting to coast home to victory in 2015 failure of which they will "form parallel government". If the premise of their projections and optimism is on a faulty foundation of multiple registration, don't you think APC will set Nigeria on fire if they loose next year and you said that's not the business of DSS? Common, apply some common sense, please.

Bros. stop embarrassing yourself. No one, whether INEC or the law courts gives a damn whatever information any Political Party's Membership holds. It is a private affair of the party.

its the INEC Voters register that the public and constituted authorities have business with.

After all most of do not have our names registered as of members of any polical party yet we can vote. Why? Because our names are registered with INEC. INEC register does not indicate anuthink like which political party a voter belongs to.

It is very disheartening reading some APC e-touts trying to defend a clear criminal case of multiple voters registration by the APC.
I have said it before and I will say it again here: APC is an assembly of disgruntled politicians who lack a clear cut political ideology but want to bully their ways to power at all costs.
However, I am confident that Nigerians are wiser than them and will not hesitate to vote them out come 2015.

Please what the hell are you talking about? Criminal case of Voters Registration?

When the the internal membership registration of APC becomes Voter's Registration? The membership registration data of APC is an internal party affair. Has nothing to do with INEC voters register.

I beg, go and get informed joor.

Zuria:
The party promised to form a parallel government if it fails to win the 2015 Presidential election...they didn't make any of such threat in the state elections you mentioned.

Most times, security raids produces new leads in investigations but if you don't see anything wrong in 1person registering 19times... You truly are a Nigerian

Please stop with the "distortion of truth". What Amaechi said was that IF the 2015 election is rigged, APC will not go to court but will resort to self-help.

Anyway, it was Fani Kayode and Doyin Okupe that first made this deliberate distortion, and every other PDP supporter then started carrying it.

Fani Kayode Okupe or even you are free to criticise Amaechi for what he said, but start by saying exactly what he said, not by twisting and distorting it so as to favour your own argument.

Also, I'm waiting for his editorial concerning the fiasco taking place at the Ekiti House of Assembly.

Or is the issue minuscule it has escaped notice?

And this says he practises journalism. His bias is so severe and obvious. With all his learning and knowledge, he has nothing to o say about the illegal siege of the Police Force on the National Assembly.

Another Abati in the making..... complete disgrace...

good morning

happy week to you guys

Please, soembodu please help me answer this question: I know I'm not an Harvard graduate like Iweala neither I've I worked in the world Bank.

They say they want to cut subsidy into half because of sharp falling in crude oil prices. The fact that crude oil has fallen, does that not automatically reduces the amount of subsidy necessary. Or was not the high price of crude a major cause for the high cost of subsidy.

very funny....not even worth replying.

I did write something...... then evidence of the corruption and impunity of GEJ Administration is there for everyone to see as it stinks to the high heavens.

you're just looking for who to take on one of you guys needless argument, in which no matter how what is said, you keep on twisting things....

.....for example, why do you need evidence that this administration is corrupt if you're not an hypocrite

I swear, I don't understand what all this obsession about Buhari is. You guys have already said he's a failure, that if APC fields him, it will only make it easy FOR GEJ to walk all over APC.

You guys that are rooting for GEJ, shouldn't this be good news to you? Why are you trying to advise APC to choose a better candidate who will make the task of winning the election more difficult for GEJ?

That is why I don't understand your obsession in trying to help APC get a better candidate? Or is GEJ not you people's man again?

That is why you pro Jonathan guys don't make sense to me.
