Thirty years ago, this day, I queued behind the poster of MKO Abiola to exercise my franchise right. I had just turned 18 seven months before that election. Unfortunately, it was annulled by IBB before Humphery Nwosu could announce the result of the most credible election in Nigerian political history through option A4. The riots, uprising and tumult followed. Arthur Nzerebe's Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) did the dirty job for the incumbent military junta. IBB later "step" aside after appointing Earnest Shonekan whose interim national government was toppled by Abacha few months later.

Goodlady:
The movie is rated 6/10 by me. It exposed most trivos used by fake prophets.

I tell you, it's beyond a movie. I expected a backlash from the ranks of the pentecostals. Even the Aladura churches ( such as Celestial, C&S and likes) are not as brazen as some these new pentecostals

TemplarLandry:
We need to find our ways right with God in the body of Christ.

To everyone who is discerning, the movie exposes the fake prophets from the rank of the pentecostals in Nigeria.

It is not misleading in anyway

Oh Amechi!

Who would have thought a year ago that he won't be at the Eagle Square to say.

Righteousness2:
I sincerely believe amongst other things, that the major thing that sunk the titanic sink was the bragging of the builder or the owner.

It was reported that After building the mighty and famous Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the ship would be. in reply to the question, Thomas said, ”Even GOD himself couldn’t sink the ship”.
The rest we know is History.

Reminds me of a certain Brazilian big politician, Tancredo Neves.
He bragged During his Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Indeed He got the votes but he fell sick a day before was made the president and died.

We must Fear, reverence and Honor GOD.
When you begin to see yourself as God or that you have it all. You make yourself a tool for God to deal with. And when God decides to deal with you, you are gone.

The ALMIGHTY is a Jealous GOD and does not share HIS glory with anybody.

That could be through but it might also be because of John Jacob Astor IV who was the richest aboard the ill-fated iconic ship. He had opposed to individuals owning Federal Reserve Bank (American Central Bank).

When they give NANS leadership money, you won't hear pim again. Dede noise makers.

What's the problem with these politicians? Is it by force to rule?

Onyipk:
It was aired on NTA . Just Google it. I never needed the archives because I watched it live.
Use Oputa panel to search that would help.

I know it was aired on NTA. To put it in context, the testimonies of the duo ( Adisa and Diya) reflect that they were set up by Bamaiyi, Aziza and some other two who sold the idea of 4 points demand on Abacha, who had perfected plans to transit from military to an elected president. Diya has disdain for this and Abacha allegedly knew Diya was not on his side for such.

In the weeks leading to their arrest, Abacha had dissolved the cabinet...it was Bamaiyi that involved Diya on how to prevail Abacha to accept the demands. Making demands looked innocent but Diya did not know he was being set up. Why was Abacha passing handkerchief when Diya was begging. Why was Jeremiah Useni bent on airing the video where Diya was begging

Onyipk:
It was not a set up.
I watched the Abdulkareem Adisa you mentioned testify under oath LIVE in Oputa panel that they ACTUALLY PLANNED THE COUP.

This was after Abacha's death.

Please do not change history because Late Diya knew he did plan the coup.

Thank you

Kindly educate me more ...I will need a link to the video where Adisa said that. Its good to learn something new

mfm04622:
It wasn't a phantom coup!

They planned the coup and were arrested before the could execute it.

It was a phantom coup

Abacha for whatever reason set him up alongside Abdulkareem Adisa in a phantom coup. RIP

But the wounds were brazenly inflicted for just selfish reasons...how can such be healed except by the admittance of you stealing people's mandate.

APC is using second Republic NPN propaganda. Bayo Omoboriowo of the old Ondo State in 1983 general elections comes to mind.

The last of all, probably. Yorùbá traditional music going to extinction with the exit of the legends?

OmonnakOdapig:
Where exactly was he 1999, as lecturer of law Unilag before he was appointed as AG & commisioner of justice after Tinubu became governor. So you followed him with a Camera in 1999 to know if he voted and where he actually voted and what Time he voted. What if he was out of the country election week1999? . Besides even some people with PVC for one reason or the other,might decide not to come out on election day. Just as Wizkid was specifically attending a function in Ghana this particular last election.

How hard for you to get the drift?

OmonnakOdapig:
Osinbajo voted in lkenne Polling unit number 14 , february 25th

Where did he vote in 2019? It was his presidential ambition that made him transfer to Ikenne. Google is your friend to let you know where he voted in 2015 and 2019. Or are you a neophyte?

OmonnakOdapig:
Osinbajo voted in lkenne Polling unit number 14 , february 25th

That was his first time since 1999. Just telling you that should register wherever you have higher stake and interest.

Okorietitus:
Buhari lives in Abuja but goes to vote in Daura.
Osinbajo lives in Abuja but goes to vote in Ikenna.

But this idiot wants to die in Lagos than vote out that fool called Sheriff in Delta.

They are politicians who are representing their people. Can't you get it? When did Osinbajo transfer his voter's card to Ikene? He has always voted in Lagos. Why? Because he was living their and has his chamber in Lagos. Where will Buhari retire to? We surely need voters education?

N3TRAL:
Omoni Oboli dey craze.


Polling Unit no dey Delta State abi Delta State no need good governance?

I repeat that she's very mad.

Abeg INEC write una figures 😂

If there's anybody this olosho should vote against, its the donkey's stooge , Sheriff Whatever, in Asaba.

There's no difference between me and GRV except that he's stupider social media troll than me and I speak better.

Does she live in Delta? Many people don't understand that you have stake where you live and eke your livelihood. What gain if she goes to vote in Delta while her business is in Lagos. Many tribal bigots here. Before you come after me, I am a bona-fide Ẹ̀gbá ọmọ Orò, ọmọ Ẹbẹdí.

Blame it on MURIC. That Ishiaq Akintola has been clamouring for a Muslim governor in Oyo saying Muslim population in that state is greater than that of Christians. Some many intrigues in the last 14 days

FarahAideed:
There has been so much narrative and counter narrative trying interpret what the electoral act meant when it said a candidate must get 25 percent of if 24 states and the FCT in order to be eligible to be declared winner of the Presidential election.. Different lawyers have been called upon to translate the phraseology and interpret the it as regards the intent of the writer ..seasoned SANs like Femi Falana have interpreted it to mean FCT is part of the 24 states required but others seasoned SANs seem to think we need the supreme court to interpret..This would be good but we know the Nigerian Supreme are not infallible as records would show ..

Well my name is Farah and I have a gift of being able to look through data no matter how presented and sift out the substance and fact...please note I am not a Lawyer but I would attempt to interpret this to the best of my abilities ..Let's start below

The Clause:

He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT
He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT

My Interpretation:

First we have to define what 2/3 of states of the federation mean ... Nigeria has 36 States and a distinct Federal capital territory which is not a state as it lacks any accompaniments that define the constitutional Nigerian state which are :
1.A State must have a State govt
2. The state will have its own distinct legislature ( House of Assembly)
3 . The state will have its own Judiciary
4 . The state will have a Local Govt system in place ( LGA)

Going by any of these constitutional definition it's clear the FCT is not at all considered a State by our constitution as it does not have a

A .State govt system in place

B .Does not have a State Legislature in Place

C . Does not have a State Judiciary in place

D ..Does not have Local Govt ( LGA) system in place

E .does not have an elected head of state govt .

Going by these parameter it's clear the the conjurers of that clause saw the FCT as a distinct and separate entity from the 36 Nigerian states and as such wanted the 25% require to be met in a distinct or stand alone manner when it came to the FCT ..

So my interpretation is simple :
To be declared winner of a Nigerian Presidential election a candidate must get 25 percent of 2/3 of the constitutionally recognized states and an extra distinct 25% in the Federal Capital Territory Known as ABUJA .

This scenario was envisaged by Atedo Peterside about 3 months ago. He wrote letter to INEC and supreme Court ( I think) for the interpretation but there was no reply as at the time he was interviewed by Seun Okinbaloye of Channels TV. It is a banana 🍌 peel

Get your take from history book right. The first 3 chair - Akpata, Gubadia and Iwu were of southern extraction

Tareq1105:
There's no rerun anywhere. It's straight win by simple majority after scoring 25% in 25 states.

There is a challenge here. The president must also have 25% of the FCT...It is a banana 🍌 peel
