Politics / Re: Witnesses Absent As INEC Defence Of Tinubu’s Victory Starts On Shaky Note by occam(m): 9:25pm On Jul 03, 2023 |
No big deal. At times, as a defendant you don’t have to present any evidence or call witnesses. It’s incumbent on Obi the petitioner to provide unimpeachable evidence that he won. Shikena It might be a better strategy to let the case be decided only on evidence provided by petitioner. So far no smoking gun or evidence of massive rigging has been presented before the judges 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Presidential Poll: Forensic Analysis Shows Over-voting In 10,000 Pus, Omokri Cla by occam(m): 8:46pm On Apr 15, 2023 |
With the 10,000 PUs, it’s just about 900k accredited votes casted. This will make no difference in the results. Also if canceled, it will affect all parties. To erase Tinubu’s, huge lead of 2.1m vs Atiku or 2.8m vs Obi, results of over 70k PUs must be canceled. This of course depends on which states the over voting occurred. Elections are about numbers. Atiku & Obi just wasting time with their petty petitions. 1 Like 1 Share |

NaijaSumigan: AND was simply added to ensure FCT is not unwittingly excluded. By just saying 2/3 of all states, FCT will be excluded. If it's mandatory to score 25% in FCT, it means FCT is a superior entity in the federation. That's not the case. All votes from the FCT carry equal weight to every other vote from all states. |

Just a natural reaction to a catastrophic loss. Obi's ability to win the presidency was overestimated, hence stunned and dazed reactions from his obidients. In the coming days and weeks, mentions of Obi will gradually diminish. His obidient movement will fizzle out as the Jagaban slowly consolidates power. By swearing-in day, the word obedient will be nothing more than a footnote in this election. 2027 is only 4 yrs away. Obi should begin preparation for Presidency today if he wants to run. Tiniubu is now in charge as he's the new sheriff in town. Even Buhari is now a lame duck and will have to run things through Tinubu. This is how democracy works 2 Likes |

SmartPolician: The turnout is projected at 41%, which means 2.9 million of the 7 million will actually vote. So do the math and figure things out. Learn about voting patterns and numbers before making asinine statements. Numbers win elections not emotion. Your heart may give Obi 3 million votes but it's still an uphill task for him to get 1 million votes in Lagos. FACT |
Politics / Re: Twitter User Explains What Wike Is Trying To Achieve With His 200k Political SAs by occam(m): 5:41am On Feb 11, 2023 |
For Tinubu, the goal is to ensure Obi can’t run up the numbers and to reduce Atiku’s vote. With a voter rich state like Rivers, 17% - 18% for Tinubu is ideal. That way Obi can’t secure more than 45% and Atiku 35%. Rivers is not an Apc stronghold so the strategy is just to depress numbers for Obi & Atiku. Same approach for Delta (2nd highest in SS). Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom will be a 3 way battle. Not sure about Bayelsa. Obi will run up huge numbers (70%) in SE, but no big deal. |

Politics / Re: Peter Obi Backs New Naira Policy, Urges Nigerians To Bear With CBN by occam(m): 3:16pm On Feb 05, 2023 |
The redesign is not the problem; it’s the implementation. Changing a currency is common practice. Generally, the old currency can be legal tender for up to 2yrs. This stupid attempt to stop acceptance in 3 months is causing untold hardship for the people. Why not allow up to 1 year before the old currency expires. This draconian act just to punish certain politicians is unacceptable. And with scarcity of Naira, vote buying more even flourish more Besides changing a currency confers no economic advantage. It’s simply an administrative action to Obi with this statement just shower his mediocrity on how the economy works. He’s only thinking of the advantage for his not the effect it’s having on people 9 Likes |

philos: Currency redesign is an economic policy tool and Its goal must be to support economic activities. Redesigning the Naira, at this time just to target certain politicians is doomed to fail. The masses will suffer and bear the brunt. And we're seeing the effects. Why not make the old notes acceptable legal tender till the end of the year? What's the rush for the Feb 10 deadline? This is a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Is it right for the CBN to inflict pain on people in this manner to stop certain politicians?

N3TRAL: “people with a Messiah complex”. The correct phrase about this election. Non of the candidates will change anything but people keep chanting Obi to bring that transformation. And even with all the mantra about change young people participation is very low. Of the over 80 million Nigerians between 18 - 39 yrs, just 32 million are registered voters. And we can expect less than 50% (14m) to vote. So how will the change happen. And your observation on India is bang on. |

SmartPolician: I need some clarification. So if BVAS accredits & approves 50 votes but 70 people voted, in that case, 20 votes should be automatically rejected as ineligible. Or Are INEC officials still allowed to review the 20 Votes not approved by BVAS? I thought the whole process is set up to reduce human input at the polling station. Shouldn't the numbers of PVCs linked to a polling unit be equal to BVAS-approved numbers? 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Tinubu Far Weaker In South-West – Dele Momodu Reveals 'How Atiku Will Win' by occam(m): 4:41pm On Jan 23, 2023 |
An Atiku win looks plausible and this write up highlights the key reason: elections are decided on tribal and religious lines Remember he had over 11m votes and 25% in 30 states. Even if Obi wins all SE & SS, Atiku May still get 25% in all the SS. Just not sure the spoiler role Wike plays in Rivers. The SW has always been 50/50 btw PDp & Apc. Even With Tinubu on the ticket, Atiku can still get 25% except in Lagos and Ogun state NC look like 3 way split kwara, Kogi (Tinubu), Nasarawa, Plateau, FCT, Taraba (Obi), Benue (Atiku). And Atiku will still get 25% in 4 of those. In the North, a lot of those Buhari votes may switch to Atiku because he’s a Muslim. Religion is a greater factor in the Nw & Ne. Are we looking at an Atiku outright win or run off between him and Tinubu/Obi. It will be difficult for Tinubu or Obi to win on first ballot. Interesting times ahead |

Obi on his part has refused to disavow IPob thereby creating mistrust of his intentions. Yes Biafra can secede if majority of Igbos want that. I have no objection. But using Obi as a diversion to achieve this, is unacceptable. Obi should accept Nigeria completely and distance himself from Ipob. |

tonyson010: True but billions of $ was spent to develop Abuja while Lagos was completely abandoned by FG. No significant FG infrastructure spending for over 37 years (when capital moved to Abuja). All the infrastructure developed by FG then have since decayed. Some have been rehabilitated starting the Tinubu era till date. So the IGR template developed by Tinubu generated funds that led to renewal of Lagos. Without that fund Lagos may still be a derelict state like others in Nigeria 1 Like |

Politics / Re: David Hundeyin: Deloitte Denies Knowledge Of Tinubu Ever Being Its Employee by occam(m): 5:21pm On Nov 14, 2022 |
Which US court or Judge issued a subpoena compelling Deloite to confirm the name of its previous employee? A subpoena is a writ demanding an individual or organization provide evidence for an ongoing criminal investigation or attend a court hearing. A judge only issues a subpoena when evidence is required for an investigation. Why then is Deloitte being subpoenaed to confirm Tinubu's employment record when no ongoing criminal or civil investigation? This subpoena story doesn't add up A simple employee reference request to Deloitte's HR department will suffice to confirm if Tinubu worked there or not.

Politics / Re: David Hundeyin Publish Documentary On Tinubu's Alleged Drug Involvement In US by occam(m): 4:12am On Nov 14, 2022 |
Too many holes in this story and doesn't make sense: 1. You can't deposit $80,000 cash in a US account without attracting scrutiny. The maximum is $10,000 to prevent money laundering. And if you deposit a cheque with so huge amount you will have to provide documents to support it. 2. Why will an individual involved in drug trafficking leave $1.8 million sitting in a US account for over 1year? Drug dealers move cash quickly and launder into real estate, jewelry, automobiles, or invest in a business. Today that's a huge amount to leave in an account talk less of 1991. 3. When was Tinubu arrested, charged, and convicted of drug dealing? The document presented in this story is an affidavit and that doesn't indicate a conviction. The US authorities will not enter plea bargaining with a top drug dealer that does not involve a jail term. The convicted dealer may get a reduced sentence but will never escape jail time. 4. Very curious that The US authorities only forfeited his cash and froze his account but DID NOT charge him with the distribution of illegal drugs. Why? Asset forfeiture is a slap on the wrist and doesn't mean involvement in drug dealing. This poorly written story is only making the rounds because Nigerians don't understand how the US judicial system works. If you're ever arrested for drug dealing on such a scale and there is probable cause to convict, you'll never get bail. I'm amazed Tinubu was allowed to walk freely for someone accused of drug dealing. Overall, the story is trash 3 Likes 1 Share |
