Bros, Nyako once took an Oath of Office in 2007 as the Executive Governor of Adamawa state, but the Election was later nullified by a court in February 2007 and ordered for a rerun. He still massively won the rerun and resumed office on the 29th of April 2008, that means he was sworn in again as the Governor [making it twice]. He later contested the 2012 Adamawa Governorship Election and still won [meaning that he was sworn in 3 times or he took Oath of Office 3 times]. What I'm trying to say is that: “If Nyako could take Oath of Office 3 times, then Geidam is also eligible to do that.” Boni Haruna's case is different from that of the others.

Don't bring in Nyako's case here. The first election that brought Nyako into power was nullified. This means it is not recognised under law. Nyako only took oath of office twice under law.

Like I earlier said, Nigerian Constitution on Electoral Matters needs to be reviewed because it's somehow confusing. Maybe other senior men can expatiate on that!

I agree with you on this. There are certain sections of the constitution that needs to be amended.

I also need you to check out this thread to see more intellectual discussion on Jonathan's eligibility alongside other burning electoral issues:

donphilopus:
APC as a party has never challenged Jonathan's eligibility to contest the 2015 Elections. When we say APC, we mean APC standing as a plaintiff in the court of law, not APC Reps!

At least you agree that APC members collectively challenged his eligibility. I'm sure the lawmakers from Yobe will be part of them. Now I wonder what would be the Yobe lawmaker stance on Giedam's eligibility.

No, such should not be done to either GEJ or Geidam because their Predecessors first took oath of office before their death, whereas, Atiku was neither sworn in nor took any oath of office. Atiku can never be considered as one of the former Govs of Adamawa State, but Yaradua and Geidam's Predecessor, Mamman Bello Ali, can be considered as a former President and a Former Governor respectively!

I agree with you on the above.

But the question is this: did Geidam and Jonathan got sworn in twice? If yes, then the Supreme Court over Boni Haruna's 2007 eligibility based on being sworn in twice is the crux of matter.

kokoA:
OP, stop being mischievous. APC as a party or it's members have never challenged GEJ's eligibility to contest in 2015. Be truthful to yourself. Your fellow PDP members have been the ones challenging GEJ in court right from day one.

The APC House of Reps members challenged GEJ's eligibility for presidential election. You are the one that should be truthful to yourself.

donphilopus:
If most of you are truthful to yourselves, you'd discover that the main people against Jonathan's re-election are PDP members, not APC. If at all APC is against GEJ, it'd be on the stance of truthfulness, that is, promising Nigerians that one term was enough for him. I've said it before and will say it again that GEJ should be allowed to contest so as for him to be humiliated at the polls.

Yes some PDP members challenged GEJ's eligibility. Even non-partisan citizens challenged his eligibility. But if we are being truthful to ourselves, we should also admit that prominent APC members challenged GEJ's eligibility too. In the link provided below, the APC House of Rep members challenged Jonathan's eligibility.

His case is different from Boni Haruna because according to what I read or was told, he w
as the running mate to Atiku during the 1999 elections. Immediately Atiku was made the running mate to Obasanjo in 1999, Boni Haruna automatically became the PDP Guber. Flagbearer in Adamawa state, that is, election had not been conducted then or Atiku had not taken his oath of office as the Governor [I'm also sure he campaigned for himself, unlike GEJ and Geidam]. So he governed them for the mandatory 4yrs and later won his reelection bid in 2003.

You got it all wrong. Atiku won the gubernatorial election. He campaigned and won. He was given the certificate of return. But he wasn't sworn in because Obasanjo picked him as his running mate (then governorship election took place before the presidential election). Because Atiku wasn't sworn in, INEC didn't recognise Boni Haruna as the governor-elect and Boni Haruna had to get a supreme court judgement before he could be sworn in as governor. The Supreme Court ruled that Boni Haruna should be sworn in since he and Atiku won the election on a JOINT TICKET.

As for Goodluck and Geidam, they took over from their Bosses after their death. Though, they've all taken oaths of office twice. So, I don't think he has either violated any party's term or breached any of their rules. He's free to seek a re-election!

Boni Haruna was denied eligibility by the supreme court to contest for 2007 elections based on the fact that he was sworn in twice (he was sworn in 1999 with Atiku's mandate and on 2003 with his own mandate). Don't you think such should be done for Jonathan and Geidam, bearing in mind that they assumed the position of Presidency/Governor in their first tenure based on a JOINT TICKET?

Osyxcel:
Wow! It's a nice idea. I'm in fam

That's great! We've heard from Xcelsia, Candygosh, Odunharry, Christine01 and Hephzi1991. So I guess we have a quorum .

So guys, this is what I suggest. I'm thinking we schedule this for the 2nd week of December, probably on a Saturday. We'll hire a vehicle for the whole day for mobility. Then we'll go to several places to catch fun.

The places we are to go is up for suggestions. I'm suggesting the cinema, the restaurant and a comedy event. Add yours.

We'll take loads of pictures. It's gonna be fun.

Oh, and lest I forget....we are to put on pink t-shirts/dress on that day.

So guys, what say you? Zikkie, Tollu we need to hear from you too.

Hmmmm, this is a good topic for discussion. Barcanista, Naptu2 and modhream, I need your intellectual inputs on this.

candygosh:
Yes xcelsia has mentioned this to me and I personally feel it would be cool to get the see the anonymous awesome family

Now that it's thrown to the house. Let the planning begin!
Although there may be some constraints for some of us here. Like hephzi is based in edo and she thinks next year is her best bet.


over to the family

Yea Candy, it will be awesome. And it's only the family that's invited.

xcelsia:
Lol can you see how he tricked us? After making us wait since 1800 BC for our ponmo story now he wants us to send him some to eat. I'm hungry, come let me go prepare nkwobi for us to eat, op catch you later lol

Nkwobi? Wow, honey let's go home. Can't wait eat ur delicious Nkwobi.

xcelsia:
Yes big daddy

Odunharry:
that is a nice idea..
But we shud consider our location,venue etc

I'm thinking of a trip where we'll go visiting places like the movies, the theatre/museum and the restaurant.

As regards the expenses, we shouldn't have to worry cos I and xcelsia will foot the bill. Xcelsia is such a sweetheart....my sweetheart.

xcelsia:
Obim thanks for bringing this up, hope everyone will be on board, this will be lots of fun!!

Yes darling. This will be loads of fun.

Hi Family, I'm thinking of we organising a little get-together/treat/end-of-year-party. I figured it'll be a platform for us to strengthen our fraternity and be there for each other. I've discussed this with xcelsia and she's in total support. So what do you have to say on this? I need your input guys .

@Publisher what's your source?

xcelsia:
Obim see how he has abandoned us, he doesn't know how sweet ponmo is lol

Yes love he seem to have abandoned us. But let's give him more time to do more research on our precious ponmo

Hi family. How's our day going? Trust we're all good. I love you all. Always have .

We need to complain to the appropriate quarters. It's disheartening to make a C where u deserved A.

I'm not in Lagos, I would've complained directly to d headquarters. My centre director response was "atleast you passed". NOUN / Cyberspace should engage world- class programmers with experience in AI to handle d scoring algorithm.

@Obynoscopy & Co, how do we send strong signal to the appropriate authorities in NOUN. Email? or hardcopy of letter couriered to d appropriate office?

We can do them a strong mail with our signatures on it. First we need to draft the mail and next is to amass enough signatures. We can do this!

Below is a screenshot evidence to show the erratic scoring pattern of the iLearn software for the Practice Questions

Wow, nthis is a nice concept. I believe it should be very effective in curbing the rape menace in our society. However, it's the cost and it's safety that are my concerns. Also I observed that virgins can't use it.

lalasticlala:
obinoscopy u didnt reply my mail

So sorry for the delay. I think I've responded to it.

xcelsia:
Lol

Zikkie:
Hephzi dearie, I can imagine when you talk about moods... Ur bald hair and all what not. Pls be strong for us and those who love you. Try and get anything at all that helps you to stay happy darling. Im giving u a bear hug now!!!!
Yesterday was my birthday but we spent the whole day at the hospital. Dad had a serious relapse, he was half away and half alive! To eat sef, he couldn't have the strength... He is said to have anaemia and needs blood transfusion but those 'blood Bank' staff are on strike in UCH. We are giving him ugwu aggressively as he can't take milk again. We would be back there on Thursday.

I pray God would heal all who feel pains in one way or the other.

So sorry dear. I can only imagine what you are going through. My prayers are with you. I agree with xcelsia's recommendation. God's grace.

Obinoscopy:
We've not totally recovered from the bomb blast at the UN headquarters and we are getting another explosion albiet a grammatical one from no other person than the first lady.

On her visit to the victims of the blast at the hospital, she congratulated the Doctors for 'Responding to Treatment.' In medical or grammatical parlance its the patients who respond to treatment and not the doctors. The doctors treats while the patients responds to the treatment.

I laughed vehemently when I saw it on the news. Its high time Dame Patience Jonathan went for an English Class. Or what do you think?. . . lol

I just realised this joke of mine can only be understood by health practitioners.

xcelsia:
Hmm interesting, very interesting

You are an exception hun. I will not only over-pamper you, I'd super-pamper you .

Girls should be pampered. But over-pampering could be dangerous. There's a limit to everything.

Fashola should pick up the APCs presidential form. He shouldn't listen to those old goons. Their time is over. This is our time, our generation. Those who ruled us when we were children should pave way for us to rule our children.
