Tinubu better perform as Peter Obi is hot on his heels.

Hope it's not to replace those US Embassy staff that was killed in Anambra recently.

Good decision, it appears this court wants to deliver judgement as fast as possible.

If he is wise, he should apologise to the police officer he assaulted and also apologise to the police force and beg them to withdraw the charge.

Is he indirectly saying Tinubu will be worse? God forbid!

This is very important as the Senate President becomes the Acting President if the Courts declares a new election be conducted.

There is a window period where you may be infected and yet the result will be negative. You need to do a retest in 3 months to confirm that you don't have the virus

This is old news that Vanguard is regurgitating and branding as new. I don't know if they are doing this intentionally or if they are just incompetent.

This is just the beginning. I expect more revelations.

tungamaje:
This is terrible. Even the one on the Taraba sheet wrote One hundret instead of One hundred. And these are graduates o.

Yeah that is true. I even missed that one....lol

INEC adhoc staff were mostly NYSC Youth Corp Members. While going through some result sheets on IREV, the following result sheets (see attached picture) revealed that some of our Corp Members are "olodo". You would expect the Corp Members to be well educated as they purportedly graduated from tertiary institutions.

Picture 1: The INEC adhoc staff is writing 8 as "eate" instead of eight. Writing 88 as "eate ete" instead of eighty eight. And writing 187 as "one eate seven" instead of one hundred and eighty seven.

Picture 2: The adhoc staff wrote 57 as "fivety seven" instead of fifty seven. Writing 46 as "fourty six" instead of forty six. And writing 100 as "one hundret" instead of one hundred.

Picture 3: The INEC adhoc staff wrote 207 as "two zero seven" instead of two hundred and seven.

What do you have to say about this sorry situation?

Trustworthiness:
Different people will have different approach in solving the equation.
However, in relation to the 2023 election and status of FCT in terms of declaration of the winner of the presidential election, we should be concern of what the interpretation given to the section of the constitution or the law.
In the past, had all the elected president won Abuja before they were declared winner of the presidential election?
This is how law is implemented.
In your question, why did you give all the 36 state 100 and FCT 120? You should give them all 100. From there people can calculate the minimum percentage required to win the presidential election.
So, your question is wrong for making the 36 states 100 and FCT 120 instead of 100 for all, to assume as 100% voting.

In the past all Presidents had gotten 25% in Abuja. This is the first time a winner is not getting 25% in Abuja.

Regarding the question, the reason I used 120 for Abuja is to see if 120 must be used in the calculation or not. Remember the question says to calculate the LEAST number of appliers. So if that's the case, since other States have a lesser number of appliers, is it mathematically okay to exclude Abuja when determining the LEAST number if appliers? That's the rationale for using a slightly higher number for Abuja.

We are waiting for the end result but Once it enters May 29, nothing again.
Moreover, you know they can easily delete the record from their data base and it becomes unverifiable.Guinea is not America.

This is were opposition comes in. I expect the LP and the PDP to dig into this and give Nigerians the truth. But if they fail to do this, then the Country is doomed. We need a very vibrant opposition for democracy to thrive and for the people to benefit from it.

favor914:
Probably he is a honorary citizen of the Republic du Guinea, & entitled to a diplomatic passport @ the pleasure of the president of Guinea as a special diplomatic representative of the president of Guinea to Nigeria.

He Tinubu is elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he renounces his Guinean citizenship before been sworn in, please what is all the noise about?

Diplomatic Passport for a honorary citizen? That would be strange but let's see. I'm sure more details will be revealed soon.

Jogs1900:
I'm not moved with all these photocopy of Guinean passport...Let them bring out a verifiable copy of the passport ..Thats when we will know Obis people are serious.If its a Nigerian passport now, I can easily verify that in my office.
I know there are ways to verify Guinean passport too..

More info will come out trust me. The reason why it's still hazy is because the Hundeyin is trying to protect the identity of the whistle blower. Many interested Parties will travel to Guinea to get the verified information of Tinubu’s citizenship. Just relax and eat some pop corn.

favor914:
You Obidients will forever fail to use your brains, how hard is it for him to have renounced his Guinean Citizenship last year, or even tomorrow, if indeed it is true?

The constitution doesn’t say you cannot contest with dual citizenship, it says you cannot be President, even May 28th 2023 isn’t late to renounce the so called guinean citizenship.

Much ado about nothing.

Even if he renounces his guinean citizenship, are you comfortable being governed by someone who was once loyal to an external government? This is not to talk about the perjurious dishonesty when he was filling the INEC form. As a Nigerian we need to be worried about Tinubu’s loyalty. Even his tribe should be worried about his origin and loyalty.

This is what you get when you "elect" someone with lots of unknowns.

Here is the answer given by a mathematician with Stack Exchange in the link below:

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4680653/word-problem-minimum-number-of-hires

The screenshot is attached herewith.

My solution:

Let's designate States as X and Territory as Y.

There are 36 X and 1 Y. Thus two-thirds of X is 24 and two-thirds of Y is 2/3Y.

Thus 25% will be 25% of (24X + 2/3Y)

But X = 100 and Y = 120. Therefore the answer becomes:
25% of [24 × 100 + 2/3 × 120]
= 0.25 [2400 + 80]
= 0.25 [2480]
= 620

However, the another school of thought believe the answer will be 630. And their solution would be thus:
Two thirds only applies to the States and not the Territory. Thus the answer becomes:
25% of [24 × 100 + 120]
= 0.25 [2400 + 120]
= 0.25 [2520]
= 630

Another school of thought believe the answer will be 625. And this is the answer Tinubu supporters will go with. Their solution is thus:

There are two possible scenarios: one where the Territory is part of the two-thirds OR one who it isn't.
First scenario: 25% of [24 × 100 + 120]
= 0.25 [2400 + 120]
= 0.25 [2520]
= 630

Second scenario: 25% of [25 × 100]
= 0.25 [2500]
= 625

Thus we have two possible answers but the least of them is 625. So the answer is 625.

TinubuShet:
To recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory, we need to find out how many States and the Territory meet this requirement.
There are 36 States and 1 Territory, so we need to check if at least 2/3 of them (i.e., 24 States and the Territory) have at least 25% of their population applying for the job.

For the Territory, we have 120 applicants, which is more than 25% of its population (since there are 100 people in each State).

For the States, we have a total of 36 x 100 = 3600 people, and we need at least 24 States to have at least 25% of their population applying for the job.

25% of 100 people is 25 people, so each State needs at least 25 applicants.

If we assume that 24 States have 25 applicants each, that would give us a total of 24 x 25 = 600 applicants from the States.

Adding the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 720 applicants.

However, we need to make sure that at least 24 States meet the requirement. If we assume that the 24 States with the lowest number of applicants each have only 24 applicants, then the total number of applicants from the States would be 24 x 24 + 12 x 25 = 708.

Adding the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 828 applicants.

Since we want to minimize the number of people the firm should employ, we choose the lower number, which is 708.

Therefore, the answer is B. 620.

If we consider the Territory as a State, then we have a total of 37 States.
We still need to have at least 24 States meeting the requirement of at least 25% of their population applying for the job.

25% of 100 people is 25 people, so each State needs at least 25 applicants.

If we assume that 23 States have 25 applicants each, that would give us a total of 23 x 25 = 575 applicants from the States.

For the Territory, we have 120 applicants, which is more than 25% of its population.

Adding the 575 applicants from the States and the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 695 applicants.

However, we still need at least one more State to meet the requirement.

If we assume that the 24th State has only 24 applicants, then the total number of applicants from the States would be 24 x 24 + 22 x 25 = 648.

Adding the 120 applicants from the Territory, we get a total of 768 applicants.

Since we want to minimize the number of people the firm should employ, we choose the lower number, which is 695.

Therefore, the answer is still B. 620.

Thanks for your solution.

However I'm confused on some of your workings and how you got to the answer. Please clarify further.

Also i noticed you got numbers like 708 and 695 but you still chose B (620) as your answer instead of E (none of the above). Can you explain?

President-Elect in parenthesis. Interesting.

rtdCivilservant:
I believe u brought this cos of the confused interpretation by some on what the electoral law stipulates. From what u posted, it is obvious the territory is not a state, if it were a state u would have have correctly said 37 states... Why do we allow simple English to get us confused?
For example, let's use a class of 9 boys and 1 girl. I may say for u to emerge the class-rep, two-thirds of the 9 boys and the girl must be willing to give u half portions of their daily meal. Now this does not mean that for anyone to emerge, they must get two-third of half the daily meals of the 9 boys and half the daily meal of the only girl. A girl is not a boy, so u don't expect me to say 10 boys, that is where the AND comes in. The right interpretation be same as if I assume the only girl is a boy and say two-third of 10 boys or two-thirds of the 10 students. In the case of our country, "AND" there shouldn't confuse anyone, it is only so cos FCT is not a state and that is the only way of accommodating the entity (FCT) into the grammatical expression.

So what's the answer to the question?

Feintline:
Constitutionally, we do not have a president elect.

Can you solve the problem?

1. A recruiting firm advertised for a job and people from 36 States and a Territory applied. The recruiting firm was tasked to recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory. If there are 100 people in each of the States and 120 people from the Territory, what's the minimum number of people the firm should at least employ?

A. 600
B. 620
C. 625
D. 630
E. None of the Above

2. In addition to the requirements above, the recruiting firm was told the Territory is also to be considered as a State. Thus the requirement reads thus: recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory. And the Territory is to be considered a State. What's the minimum number of people the firm should at least employ?

A. 600
B. 620
C. 625
D. 630
E. None of the Above


Please show your workings. Anyone who shows very clear workings and gets the answer has solved the 25% electoral requirement quagmire that is confusing many people.

Owontime:
Obi is a drug dealer that was recently arrested for selling drugs in the UK.

Really? That means he will be charged to court soon. Let's wait and see what happens.

Ghezo:
This is the opinion of a fool

And that's the beauty of democracy. Even fools can get to air their opinion.

NOETHNICITY:
The delusion that resides within some of you is irredeemable. How can you even imagine that that election will be cancelled?
Do you know what is cost to run that election?
Even the manpower investment and soooooooooooo much effort. The all of a sudden it’s cancelled because one self deluded man and his headless mob are angry that they came 3rd.
If it’s Atiku that is seriously agitating now we will know that he has some grounds to agitate.

Take it easy bros, we are just having conversation. We are looking at all the possible permutations.

DMerciful:
If the election were to be cancelled for irregularities, you're still advocating for irregularities in the new election?

Good question. I was just saying IF I were Tinubu. Of course I'm not Tinubu and thus would do things differently.

HilcomTech:
Only an mkporu mirri addict would think that there would be fresh elections

It's a good thing that the addict is thinking, don't you think?

Codepain:
Anybody that think there will be fresh election is hallucinating

And those who think there won't be fresh elections are not hallucinating.

If I were Tinubu, I would zone Senate Presidency to the North West. And my reason is very simple: If the Supreme Courts nullifies the election and demands a fresh presidential election be conducted, both Tinubu and Shettima will no longer be in power and the Senate President will become the Acting President. This means the Senate President will supervise the conduct of the fresh election.

The North West and the North East seem to be more loyal to Tinubu. That explain why there are fewer Obidient elements in those region. However in the South South and the South East, there is a preponderance of Obidient elements. This means that it is likely that there will be some people in Akpabio's inner cabinet that are Obidient. Same goes for Orji Uzor Kalu's inner cabinet. Thus if I were Tinubu, I would be very careful on who becomes Senate President because that person can become acting president with some influence should there be a need for fresh elections. He would need someone who is very loyal and whose inner cabinet is also very loyal.

This is my humble opinioin
