Make ihedioha's lawyer just arrange 60 milla come court tomorrow

The more they waste the time of the court, the more the court fines increase.

No country's Supreme Court ever reviewed judgement on election matters like this.

CanadaOrBust:
All newspapers in the country are also watching and many have noted what a travesty Imo is. I don’t see how the SC can let the judgment stand and still look Nigerians in the eye:

The following is from the actual summary of trial materials as presented in a major reputable newspaper.
Pay special attention to the bolded.

That Supreme Court Magic Judgment
This Day (Lagos) 17 FEBRUARY 2020

... According to summary of trial materials, no ward collation agent was called to show that at the collation center results were brought from the 388 polling units where the alleged exclusion took place...

The petitioner, rather called 28 polling unit agents who came to identify some of the results tendered by the petitioner from the bar. All the electoral documents were tendered from the bar and thus dumped on the court without anybody giving evidence correlating the contents of the result forms with the tabulation done by the petitioner himself.

Each of the 18 polling unit agents under cross-examination, manifested ignorance of the contents of the documents and never convinced anybody of being present in their claimed polling units...

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had in their reply to the petition disowned those result sheets and averred emphatically that NO RESULTS WERE GENERATED from those polling units as elections in those polling units were cancelled by presiding officers as a result of violence, over voting, snatching of electoral materials, etc. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stated that any result from those polling units presented by any of the candidates, in this case, the petitioners, must be fake.

When confronted with the purported result sheets tendered by the petitioners, each of the witnesses admitted as follows:
i. The names and signatures of the Presiding Officers are not well found on those results.
ii. The names and signatures of other party agents did not appear on the result sheets, neither could they mention even one party agent of the other political parties in those booths.
iii. The result sheets do not contain the total number of ballot papers used and number of ballot papers unused or invalid. The scores of political parties are not clear on the face of the documents.

Based on the above, it appears the Supreme Court was desperately working to an answer in favour of the ruling party... and the only opening to do that was to accept the fictitious results of the 388 polling units willy-nilly. And instead of doing substantial justice on the matter, it ended up delivering one of judiciary's greatest infamies which even a kid learning arithmetic can see through. The judgment turned logic on its head, rewrote the basic universal laws of arithmetic and did grave and substantial injury to our democracy and the power of the people to choose who governs them. With this judicial precedent, the Supreme Court has inevitably rubber-stamped political rascality and the judgment could shape our democratic future.

The court has widened the opening which politicians exploit and manipulate to get into elective offices. All one needs to do is to stay somewhere, maybe in one's room, probably with one policeman or so, write one's own results, submit to INEC for counting and if it refuses, don't worry, bid your time till you get to the court. With supreme arrogance, the final court of appeal will recognise the results as legitimate, credible and authentic and pronto, you will be declared duly elected.

...Even more perplexing was the fact that in some of the polling units, voter turnout was more than the registered voters. How is this possible?
In Uzodinma's result sheets, there was no voided vote and only two parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC participated and were reflected in the election results of the 388 polling units. Yet, 70 political parties participated in that election and were all reflected in the INEC declared results of other polling units all over the state. ..,Does it mean that other parties such as All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Alliance (AA), etc., did not participate in the election in those 388 polling units contrary to INEC's results in other areas of the state?
Why did the result sheets reflect only two parties when so many parties participated in the said election? Apparently, Senator Uzodinma concocted those results that fly in the face of the basic laws of arithmetic and common sense between the PDP and the APC after the fact that the PDP had won the election and he only scored his party a vote figure higher than the PDP vote. The corollary to that is that if it was any other party that was on the cusp of victory, Uzodinma's results would have been between just the APC and that party! Yet our almighty Supreme Court glossed over all these fundamental anomalies in Uzodinma's result sheets which had been rejected by even INEC... and accepted same as authentic.
A further assessment of the result sheets of the disputed 388 polling units showed that the said units are all in the Orlu Senatorial Zone where Uzodinma and the candidate of the Action Alliance Ugwumba Uche Nwosu come from. So even if the 388 polling units were concentrated mostly in Uzodinma's ancestral home, surely, Nwosu who emerged second in the March 9, 2019 election in Imo State and was backed by the incumbent governor at the time, Rochas Okorocha, his father in-law, must have amassed some votes from the units. But these votes were curiously missing, for the simple reason that they forged the results, and very badly at that.
Furthermore, Uzodinma of the APC scored an average of 98% of the total votes cast in the 388 units, whereas he scored an average of 13% in the remaining polling units in the state. How could this be? Why was it that it was only in these 388 units throughout the state that the voter turnout was either more than the registered voters or achieved 98 to 100 percent of the registered voters? Please note that emphasis is NOT on the number of accredited voters which is usually far less than the number of registered voters. Uzodinma's fake results validated by our Supreme Court defy reason. The pattern of the results from the disputed 388 polling units clearly shows the improbability of such an occurrence. And on the basis of the testimony of one policeman, and 28 discredited polling units' agents who gave contradictory statements at trial, the Supreme Court accepted the results.

In declaring Uzodinma governor of Imo State, the Supreme Court simply annulled a valid mandate freely given to an individual and transferred it to another person who came fourth in the election.

You just don't understand, or don't want to understand the issues at stake here.

This is an election case.
Perhaps the PDP candidate must have rigged election more than the APC candidate, but the time to argue those things out was at the lower courts.

The Supreme Court does not add or subtract votes to or from any candidate once the vote counts arrive live before the Supreme Court judges.

Above all, no country would have its Supreme Court judges humiliated by desperate politicians. This is not a do-or-die affair, not judgement on capital punishment. So it's hard to see a country's Supreme Court sitting on appeal over it's judgement that is not on capital punishment..

Racoon:
The Imo case is clear case of judicial injustice hence a culdesac the supreme court must redeem itself from.

Has the Supreme Court of Nigeria ever upturned its judgement on election petition?
So how would the former Imo governor think he is going to be treated differently to destroy the Supreme Court of Nigeria? This is common election matter, not a capital punishment matter.

Yankee101:
So fulani first and fulani last?

Let's kuku divide the country

Nonsense

Ha ha ha.

Those who the gods want to kill, they first make them mad.

Fulani may alas lose foothold even in northern Nigeria.

When death wants to take a dog, the dog stops to perceive the smell of excreta.
Death is knocking on Nigeria's doors, that's why cattle and forceful settling of Fulani all over Nigeria has not stopped to be at the forefront of Buhari govt.

chatinent:
Obasanjo, could you restructure it? Shut up, you ugly man!

Obasanjo couldn't restructure Nigeria politically. And no civilian leader can.
Why?
Political over-representation of Northern region through the undue large number of 20 new political units created in northern region by northern soldiers who left only 17 new political units in the two southern regions of Nigeria.

Land mass or population figures are never used as parameter to create too many new political units in a larger or more populated region of a country formed by different regions.
After the last states were created by Abacha, there should have been equal number of states in the three regions that formed Nigeria.

There is supposed to be more number of states in the two southern regions than the number of states in the one northern region which formed independent Nigeria with the two southern regions in 1960.

tsephanyah:
Good one from OBJ. Also we should figure out what you did to Nigeria with PDP members for 16 years... I hope your daughter av forgive you for what you did to her mother, because of that bimbo. And ur shameless character of infidelity.

When were you born?

Obasanjo conveyed a National Political Restructuring Conference, but northern Nigeria with some Moslem people from the SW region botched the conference.
GEJ govt same.

It's time for: "to your tents O Israel" in Nigeria.

mmb:
When the going was good.

Galadima later saw that PMB is not the type who can unite and lead NIGERIA to prosperity, but PMB is willing to lead Niger Republic to prosperity.
So Galadima backed off.

This one below is yet to learn.

Opposite - so long as this came from Lai Mohammed.

The group asked Buhari to immediately resign from office following the rising spate of insecurity and poverty in the country.



http://saharareporters.com/2020/02/27/nigerians-protest-against-buhari%E2%80%99s-government-canada-over-insecurity-others

Protest against the fraudulent factors that brought and keep a Buhari as President of Nigeria.

The factors are the rogue political structure of 20 new political units (19 states and Abuja) created by northern soldiers in one northern region, but 17 States in the eastern and western regions that formed independent Nigeria with the northern region in 1960.

It's like one gave rise to 20, but two gave rise to only 17.
Land mass or population figures are never used as parameter to create too many political units in regions of a country formed by many different regions.

The political representation from the 20 political units in north largely controlled by Buhari's Fulani gave excess political powers to the Fulani.

valentineuwakwe:
could this be real or just another mere formalities

Police in Nigeria do not obey the orders of the IGP.

SARS will still operate and kill at will.

Human life is worth little in Nigeria - a standard set by the armed forces of Nigeria.

I see a fresh election taken place.

To be financed by who?

Lyon and the other man are both from Bayelsa. Let one of them be governor, let the other be shadow governor. It's a question of four years.

Review of Supreme Court judgement is a new road to anarchy in Nigeria.

Supreme Court Judges are expected to be awake when they pass judgement.

Which one be review Supreme Court judgement?

Chai. Even flyover?

When did flyover become an achievement in Nigeria, even for a President to commission?
Nigeria gone down low.

Which East? The one I stay & travel or another one. Look, I'm not an Igbo, but note that if Muslim were really many this isn't news then. Why should u publicize this if it were really many. For ur info, Muslim z very minimal, maybe less than 2%.
Any statistics diff from these naa scam

Less than 0.00001%.

ThatFairGuy:
Where are those miscreants on nairaland that always brag of Igbo 100% Christianity

Any Igbo Muslim is no true Muslim. He or she must be looking for MONEY from one Alhaji from Arewa northern Nigeria.

IGBOS NOW EAT PORK MORE THAN BEEF.
IGBOS RESIST ISLAM MORE THAN ANY RELIGION.

Muslim found in Igbo land makes headline news.

Implications? Igbos have no business with Islam, and shall never have.

TheChameleon:
Islamization of Biafuro

You are a One Nigeria so long as Crude oyel flows in the Niger delta.

Biafra has no business with forcing Islam upon people.

In fact, new agitation for restoration of Biafra took off when your 12 northern Nigeria Sharia states adopted unconstitutional Sharia criminal justice system.

Biafra must not share one country with people who practice Sharia criminal justice system.

mrvitalis:
With you wanting south west to be president ...what's the difference between you n the north ?

Any Yoruba who wants to be .next civilian president of Nigeria hates peace, hates Igbos, is non progressive, because a country where one of its major ethnic groups is embittered can NEVER progress.

IkpuNnegiEwu44:
Story.

EEDC is going about removing prepaid meter under the guise that it doesn't read when voltage is low. Now they remove the prepaid and place you on estimated billing as they don't have meters to replace d existing one.

U tell me EEDC will heed this ban?

Implementation is d real deal not all these rules

It's more of a criminal enterprise than electricity provider.

Enugu Disco can't stop Community Billing.
It has impoverished people in the SE and remains alive thru community billing system.


FG can stop Enugu Disco from the fraud through drafting non Igbo officers to enforce this.

akenzua74:
. OBJ did 8years, GEJ 5years plus, did they succeed in restructuring the country? Of what benefits is PMB Presidency to even Katsina state? Let every one come out to be access based on merit and what they can offer Nigeria.

In bold.
In your own suggestion, Nigeria shall have another Buhari, or worse than Buhari, after ,2023. The skewed political structure of Nigeria guaranteed that.

But why complain?


A country of 180 million blind people where one man, Muhammadu Buhari, has been foxing since the day Buhari joined Nigeria Armed Forces without relevant academic qualifications.

Buhari is nearly filling up the whole of Nigeria with Fulani.

I remembered Orubebe also did same and you have the same facial expression

Orubebe and Babatope saw the picture of the future clearer than Jonathan who till today has no political conviction.

Tell those who have been blinded to think that one Nigeria indivisible.

And the best way to get restructuring is for the south to reject the presidency in 2023, right?

Between a southern and northern president, who is more liable to restructure Nigeria? Even if all parts of Nigeria agree unanimously to restructure, is it not better for a southern president to preside over the process than a northern president? Let’s put on our thinking caps now.

You are in order, but don't forget that a southern President like Rocha or Tinub will sing "Hosanna no restructuring" for eight years.

Did GEJ not reject restructuring till he was reminded at the last minute, perhaps by some smart Alecs, that Nigeria needed political restructuring, far from the structure create by northern soldiers?

helinues:
And is skunk FFK the new spokesman of Southern Nigeria?

If you are from south, go buy brain.

Ffk - brilliant as ever.

Under this rigged political structure,
North shall anoint a useless southern man for us to vote as usual for President.

At last, the president shall do only what north wants.
The NASS, FEC, NCS are all dominated by north thru the undue 20 States proliferated in north.

Babangida's words come to mind on this.

A society that does not correctly interpret and appreciate its past cannot understand its present fortunes and adversities and can be caught unawares in a fast changing world.
Ibrahim Babangida


Anyway...

Na only that one?

Babangida also said: "if am woken up by Yoruba drumbeats for war, I shall quickly return to the bed for sleep."

Everyday talk about Amotekun.


Delta State is proposing a sound proposal: a law to ban beef consumption in Delta State.

It's only a revisionist who would not go for pork which is cheaper, more nutritious and pig easier to breed, but insist on beef that's less nutritious but more expensive.

Moslems don't eat pork because they believe it contains more fats than beef owing to the heat in Arabian peninsula which does not support fatty foods.
