Dave, congrats! He actually performed as the Governor of Ebonyi State.

Ben Ayade is a big disgrace! He was beaten fair and square. A good riddance to a megalomaniac clown with an over bloated ego.

Racoon:
Hehehe! They will all go down. EFCC, ICPC, DSS etc should all get ready to host Ben Ayade after his tenure
Like Yahaya Bello, Ben Ayade was given a privilege on a platter of gold but he grossly abused it.

You are wrong, Atiku won Katsina by about 6700 (489, 045 vs Tinubu's 482, 283) votes.

Benwallt:
Tinubu has won Katsina fair n square.
He won in 21 out of 34 local governments. Cry on boy.

Ideke (Okey Ezea) is actually a good and self-made man. So, expect a good representation from him.

Chimaobi302:
Funny enough, I voted this man and I'm just hearing of his name today...
😂😂😂 Obi got him covered

Why would Peter Obi suffer? He is neither poor nor your typical Nigerian politician that depends on state largesse to survive. So, no matter the outcome of this election, Peter Obi will be remembered as the man who single-handedly elevated the status of the Labour Party.

Ikinternational:
He will really suffer.
Poor Peter, hope he doesn't jump

Which sad day? Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi deserves the humiliation. Besides being the worst performing chief executive the state ever had, yet Mr. Ugwuanyi still wants to return to the National Assembly. Note this dude was formerly in the Red Chamber before spending almost eight years in the Enugu Lion's Building. Greed should have limits.

themosthigh:
Sad days for Enugu state

This write up is quite incoherent and dumb...the earlier you guys jump off this MNK/Biafran moribund train, the better for southeasterners. Despite the glaring hitches here and there in yesterday's election, there are still some discernable progress.

cocoduck:
Yes Peter Obi won landslide in many areas, but it is not enough to win, because the voters do not determine who is announced winner, it is those who do the collation that do. Right now as you read this, the Zoo rigging machine is on a high gear, and there seems to be nothing Labour Party officials and voters can do about it. We warned you not to validate the election, by participating, but you sturbornly did. Because of Peter Obi we forgot about MNK. 8 more years of slavery. Good for you, Tinubu will ruin the Naira more, me I buy things from the zoo and export them to where I am to sell at a higher price, if Naira becomes weaker, it means I buy goods cheaper in the Zoo. In other words, more money for me.

Honestly, I don't understand some of my countrymen. Do these folks enjoy the pervading poverty in the country or what? It's mind-boggling that a sane adult is not only comfortable with the mindless looting by Nigerian politicians, but is also hailing and supporting them for the plunder.

shomutuski:
I am a Yoruba full fledged but I say to you today that you are a blatant retard! Honestly this election has no bearing on my life currently and wont do nothing in changing my fortunes as I am good already but i ask you today cant you think for yourself? Do you honestly think tribalism will help you? You are piss poor, no hope for redemption , probably old as hell with no job but you think yoruba winning will help you?

Its so sad that even with internet you are still not exposed, look deep inwards and see the truth for yourself.

To further buttress existing court rulings on technicalities:

“In Ikpeazu v Otti 2015 18 N.W.L.R. Part 1490 Page 47 at 71-72 per Oseji JCA (as he then was), the Intermediate Court stated succinctly that “In all election matters, the use of technicalities merely helps to shut issues in controversy. Once it is agreed that election petitions are in a class of their own, the handling of the matter too, must take a form devoid of legal technicalities that tend to leave the litigants more confused”. I submit that the Supreme Court majority judgement in Machina’s should have been decided on the merits of the case, rather than a perceived error in procedure. See the case of Jim Nwobodo v Onoh 1984 1 S.C.N.L.R. 1 Page 195 per Uwais JSC (as he then was) where the Supreme Court stated thus: “It is the duty of the courts to hear them, without allowing technicalities to unduly fetter their jurisdiction”.

SmartyPants:
A plethora. This is the googleable one:

Salawu Ajide v Kadiri Kelani (1985) 1 NWLR 248 AT 269, Oputa J.S.C, on the need for truth to prevail in order to ensure justice is done poignantly cautioned that “justice is much more than a game of hide and seek. It is an attempt to discover the truth, on human imperfections, notwithstanding. Justice will never decree anything in favour of so slipperyj a customer as the present defendant/appellant” on this note, our courts have admitted that justice and truth are on the same ticket and that in doing justice the courts and all ministers in her temple, that is lawyers and all other stakeholders, must strive at discovering the truth regardless of legal technicalities”.

However i will update this post when i have time to find the appropriate leading authority.

It’s confounding that a well-educated guy like MannaBBQ is unable to see beyond party affiliation. Can you imagine that for seven years, this dude kept on shouting our Darling Daddy at every opportunity here despite the dreadful havoc President Buhari was unleashing? Nauseating.

BigYash:
Even this one still dey talk.. old layer urchins Formal number one zombie.. I hope you got the change and next level they promised you o.. If not en,just know say you be big ozuor,if you are still supporting the said failed party that promised you change

Abeg, no mind the guy. Sometimes, I wonder how these folks reason.

mrvitalis:
Why can't Yorubas support obi since he is more popular down south and equity demands that too

Haba, these folks want the money pipeline to remain open.

onuman:
But why Tinubu’s handlers have not told him that he has mental and physical health challenges, and should step down from the presidential race, is baffling.

The OP is a closet Tinubu supporter; so his pseudo analysis belongs to the trash bin.

Penguin2:
This is so intellectually debasing that I couldn’t finish it.

Imagine you saying that Peter Obi will “slash” PDP votes in Southeast.

What that means is that you don’t believe Obi is winning Southeast and you also believe PDP will still get considerable votes from Southeast?

I give up on some of you.

It's expected that a thief will rally round a fellow bandit

BeardedmeatR:
Kalu God punish you and your entire family for this nonsense talk. Criminal!

Simon Ekpa is delusional. I don't blame him for feeding fat on the ignorance and stupidity of some of my Igbo brothers/sisters, but setting the whole southeast on fire is where he is pushing his luck too far.

mycar:
The Guy is a sponsored fool, All these while Nnamdi Kanu is been in the prison, what has he done to get him out, No election in Igbo land, and he thinks that will stop the net government from emerging?
APC government is using him. he said that peter obi supported IPOB under ojuku wheras Ojukwu contested for election and also stated that biafran case is dead and buried, hence the then president Goodluck Jonathan gave him a state burial under Peter Obi.

Nobody takes him serious

The death of this lady is quite unfortunate, and the husband apparently has an anger management issue. However, the way bloggers are feasting on this incident is so sad.

It seems the late Ogochukwu had a pre-existing health condition (see the link below for the referral letter from the Niger Foundation Hospital) that is largely responsible for her death.

https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/clmz4yjx3jeo

Nonetheless, her husband by physically assaulting her in the past should quietly bear his cross, and seek restitution with his children and in-laws.

Lee99:
Very unfortunate event, I always tell guys, don't listen to the words of a woman that is pissed off lest you want to kill her, always ignore, had he walked away she'd still be alive and they'd have continued with their dysfunctional marriage, tough titties for the man, if he gets a good lawyer tho he can bag manslaughter and be out with 2-3 years

It’s shamefully embarrassing that this blood-thirsty Ihordspy is my compatriot.

Sweetplum:
I came here to look for you. As usual, I m not disappointed.
For a man to just support evil. It shows the kind of person that man is.

You are very correct sir; religion is not really the reason for the poor leadership we have in Nigeria.

qwertyboss:
This is where you get it Wrong!
Buhari doesn't represent Islam neither does Tinubu or even Atiku.
They all represent their self-interest.
I am a Muslim and I prefer Jonathan's regime than Buhari's government.
Please keep religion out of this

Many politicians are self-centered, but Buhari detachment from the events happening around him is unprecedented in the history of Nigerian politics. I doubt if his family members could count on him showing up when it matters most.

brain54:
I don’t think it’s about tinubu…


That’s just buhari’s nature. Man is just aloof…


As you said yourself I wouldn’t want to have such an associate in my life.

Jeez, this Simon Ekpa guy is actually a confirmed megalomaniac. How did this clown conclude that 70 million Biafrans support his "No Election" mantra in Biafra land?

naptu2:
Simon Ekpa @simon_ekpa

The IVD guy is a complete idiot.

Neddstark:
Within 3 months of his wife dying guy has already tattooed the name of another woman on his hand. No respect for his dead wife. Sorry, that guy is shit and should be investigated for his wife's demise.

Please, stop misleading the public! There is a difference between state and local government allocation; the latter was withheld by OBJ.

leisuretym:
Lagos didn’t receive federal allowance or allocation throughout the tenure of Tinubu but Tinubu did well, no state can do that in Nigeria apart from some few oil producing states

Obasanjo intentionally withheld Lagos state allocation because he wanted them to port to PDP and support him but instead Tinubu created LCDAs and generated fund for all his projects internally , he made every LCDA self sufficient and they were remitting little to the center , which is what Nigeria need today, every Local government should generate income with their resources and be independent



Cons and Pros

His approach would have been superb if well monitor and regulated with do and dont instructions to his men on the field.
It’s the excessive of their activities that resulted in huge numbers of agberos in Lagos today.
Everybody want to collect money for government, it was only ambode that properly regulated the process and reduce agberos but they revolted against him and kick him out.

It's quite apparent that Arthur Eze has zero political sense. No wonder he keeps failing in his bid to install one of his lackeys as the Anambra State governor every election cycle. At this stage of his life, Eze n'Ukpo should take it easy, otherwise umu-azi will take him to the cleaners

festacman:
By boldly making this statement, Arthur Eze has proven himself to be politically ignorant.

4 years are a looooong time in politics. PDP is not anybody's property nowadays. Even Tinubu had to fight like a wounded lion and shouted himself hoarse with "emilokan" before getting his ticket in spite of 'promises and agreements'

These guys with their jejune permutations are jokers! It’s quite surprising that up till now, some people are yet to understand why many Igbo people, irrespective of the state of origin are rooting for Peter Obi. First, folks like me, who are not from Anambra State are enamored by his accomplishments as a governor. Heck, Peter Obi, single-handedly changed the political trajectory of Anambra State! Secondly, Peter obi’s lifestyle that is devoid of the usual razzmatazz associated with an average Igbo (Nigerian) politician is a breath of fresh air. I can go on and on… The overwhelming support Peter Obi will receive from the southeast will shock many people.

tungamaje:
You seem not to know Igbo people very well. Do you think any governor or politician can control or direct people on who to vote like maloo? Forget any politician delivering' for anybody. People are rooting for Obi in Igboland because he is better than others. So forget about Nnamani, Igbos won't mind him. They are only eating Tinubu

It's very obvious that Thisday is trying very hard to achieve two things with their fake 2023 presidential election projection; (1) Discourage the Obidients; (2) Give a glimmer of hope to the Atikulators. Nonetheless, this is generally an exercise in futility.

The write up is full of crap.

CaptainFM1:
Una go just type lies that can't be proven!

Do you know what N2million multiplied by 500,000 students is?

That's N1 Trillion naira. (About $2.4B)

If he's philanthropic enough to give that kind of money on education alone,....he should be among the Forbes top 10 richest in Africa.

Prof. Soludo seems more like a first-class con man . By the time this brouhaha dies down, his reputation is going to take a serious hit. See the link to the recent article about Prof. Soludo by Sonala Olumhense below. I was shocked and speechless. Indeed, Nigeria is a huge crime scene.

https://punchng.com/when-the-anambra-governor-speaks/

AsomughaChuks05:
It is really paining some people that Governor Soludo is a first class Professor while Peter Obi is a third class trader who is going to lose the election like Soludo predicted thereby solidifying Soludo's reputation.

Cock and bull story. If Tinubu is serious, he should sue David for defamation immediately.

No worries then, Prof Soludo should go ahead and post the Part 2 of his diatribe.

Is this a joke or what? Damn, if this is true, then Nigeria is a huge crime scene.

There is no doubt that Prof Soludo is a very intelligent man, but he is so self-conceited. Prof. Soludo will gain nothing but ridicule from strutting around with the “I am smarter than my peers” attitude. The path he is treading now is what cost him second tenure at the CBN. Will Prof. Soludo allow lightening to strike twice? Time will tell.

festacman:
Soludo is an world famous intellectual. It's a gift from God. There is nothing anybody can do about it.

This guy is the most unscrupulous moderator I have ever seen here. Jeez! He should provide data for all the states so that we can make an informed performance analysis. Even with what he presented, you can see that compared to the huge revenue-receiving states, the absolute poverty index for Anambra is not as bad as Soludo was projecting.

Felabrity:
there are 14 states from the list he posted, 7 of them have a higher percentage than Anambra

He didn't even share the full 36 state stats
