Anambra1stSon2:
Money deposit and credit in banks show how economic activity are fairing, some states where indigenous industries dominate tax low unlike states where foreign companies dominate, state like Anambra, Abia are dominated by informal sector unlike Lagos, Rivers, Ogun, FCT and Oyo control by formal sector IGR doesn't measure economy

Not exactly. There is a reason nobody uses this as a metric.

Money can go move a society and none stays in that society

IGR is not a measure of economic progress. Stop parading ignorance. GDP per capita is the correct measure of economic progress. IGR only shows how the people are taxed. It's a very popular quote that no government can tax itself into prosperity. Heavy taxation is never an economic progress.

As much as this is correct, it is not completely true

The way to grow your Per Capital Income (PCI) is to grow your GDP and this can only be done with funds. The government has to make sustainable developments into the various sectors. The government also has to support small and medium scale businesses and attract large scale ones.

How can any government do this? by spending. By building more roads, more rails, more sea access, electricity etc. And this is where IGR comes in.

If a state has an IGR of 10 Billion, how can such a state build infrastructure to develop the economy?

IGR is also a show of how much economic activity is going on as this is why taxes are paid in the first place.

the CSU depositions are dormant until the deponent comes to court and testify. INEC should have been a party at the deposition proceedings in the US

I said this earlier and someone was arguing with me. If you cannot call the desponent to testify in court, it is mere hearsay as it is assumed that the respondent didn't have a chance to ask questions thereby not defended his/herself. The deposition itself is merely a waste of time if it was not in open court.

As for this

criminal matters have to be proved beyond reasonable doubt.

forgery being a criminal offence have to be proved beyond any doubt else you are just playing around

Nonny95:
Look at this mod. A deposition gives more insight to a witness statement.

If your affidavit is yes and your deposition is No, then you're not saying the truth and in law, that's where Principle of Orality’ in Litigation comes in.

Actually no. If the person or institution isn't giving the testimony in the court of judgment, it raised the issue of hearsay hence reasonable doubt.

Nonny95:
You're okay like this?

One is a letter and the other a deposition under oath.

To you, which is stronger in law?

Stop believing everything you read on twitter.

One is a sworn statement, the other is a deposition.

The problem is that the judge himself has raised the issue of reasonable doubt

That isn't APC's official twitter page
