Sensible men were expecting to see logical and legal arguments against the issues raised by Buhari. But all we read is venom pouring, name calling and vituperation. What a degeneration.

Spot on!But when do you expect from a bunch of numpties? As ever they go after the messenger and not the message.

In civilized climes, the Minister of Justice would have been on major tv channels to try and put a stop to any insinuation of the illigality of the president's actions but what you find in nigeria is name calling by those who ought to be out there justifying thier actions before the citizens.

fineboy200:
I AM DISAPOINTED IN YOUR COMMENT AS A FELLOW COMPATRIOT. MR. PRESIDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO INVESTIGATE WHAT HAPPENS IN HIS COUNTRY. IN THE NAME OF THE CORPERS THAT LOST THEIR LIVES IF THIS MAN IS FOUND GUILTY AND HE TENDS TO PUT SOME CHALLENGES, I PROMISE YOU ONE THING AND THAT IS CLIPPING HIS WINGS BY PEOPLE LIKE US THAT ARE LAYING ARMBUSH FOR HIM. HE DESERVES TO DIE! AND YOU HERCULES; YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR TONGUE ON THIS NAIRALAND, WE ARE NOT FOOLS OR MALLAMS.

Another silly post full of empty threats!
Like PDP has always done- ignoring the laws of the land as long as they stand to benefit from such.

Supreme Court ruled that the FG (by extension Mr. President)was not vested with any power in the constitution to investigate any act of violence/disturbance outside of the FCT and that of the FCT can only be done by the permission the NASS!
So setting up this panel with the mandate to investigate post election violence outside of the FCT is an illegal act and such should be condemed.
If GEJ truly value the blood of those slained as precious, let him take the hard road, pressurize the governors in those states to set up a panel to investigate such in line with the constitution and thereafter use the evidence from the findings of the panel to prosecute anyone indicted in any competent court of the land.

As per your empty threats, let me remind you that since the post election mayhem Buhari has been visible in the public and not even the FG has arrested him 'cos they know they have no evidence against him-Buhari have even gone a step further requesting the FG and GEJ to arrest and prosecute him in court if they have any evidence to do so.

naijaking1:
This is why some of you Buhari supporters lose respect.
The president's convoy was mistankely attacked by people who mistook him for the Mr. Kisegy the opposition leader, or do you think CPC supporters "attacked" the president in Uganda
What has that incident got to do with need to bring those who planned, executed, and financed the post Nigerian election violence to book?
Like I said, Buhari could win the legal tangle over technicality, but what does it do to his image?
He and IBB won the legal battle not to appear the truth and reconcilliation panel of Oputa, and it has taken them more than 10 years to try to justify that to the public.
Now, if he's not directly involved in planning and executing these post election violence, why is he risking his whole statemanly stature by appearing to hinder these probe panels.
He's not quarreling with the composition of the panel, but he has a beef with the so-called precedence during a military regime
An unrelated analogy.

Seems obvious that you cannot read between the lines! For the President to make a very careless error of judgement in attending the swearing in of a dictator Moseveni shows how 'shallow'the  diplomatic intelligence him and his 'men' possesses. Same goes for this 'illegal' panel He went ahead to constitue.How on earth would a sitting President ignore a very recent judgement (going by legal years)by the supreme court even so that the Government of Plateau state not long ago challenged and won a case against the FG on a similar matter.

This illegality and the misjudgement on the Uganda saga is a pointer to the seemingly incompetence of this government.

FYI, Buhari have asked GEJ to arrest and prosecute anybody including himself if there are incriminating evidence against them but nothing has been forthcoming from this inept government.

And as for the 5million naira 'greek' gift to the families of the slain, again, shows GEJ's seemingly incompetence!

How much did GEJ spend to bribe his way during the PDP primaries where delegates were given 'gifts' in US $$? Now those who lost thier lives in serving the nation gets a token 5million naira - like a spat on thier grave

Rossikk:
Is there a Nigerian alive more deserving of the GALLOWS and the WHIP, than Muhammadu Buhari?

A murderer let loose on the population?

A criminal walking free as innocents are coldly slaughtered?

Oh Justice! Where art Thou?

The ground is soaked with the blood of innocent Nigerians, screaming for justice.

The most idiotic poster on NL after beaf.
Always running after the chaff, leaving the grains behind!

In as much as I want justice for the violence, for a sitting president to resort to an act of illegality is a set back to our democractic experiment.

A competent court of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA on whose shoulder rest the interpretation of the LAWS of the land has made pronoucement on this matter and the president with the supposedly wealth of advisers at his disposals ought to know better.

What this timely call by Buhari means is that whatever findings this panel comes up with has no 'weight' in the law courts as the law does not recognize her existance!

Why can't we have a President that know what is right to do and do it rightly? - First it was the diplomatic Uganda saga that has now put the lives of ordinary nigerians at high risk of being attack over there, now an act of illegality is being perpetuated by same President.

That is not entirely true, they do reply emails, maybe not be as quick as we want it, we don't know the number of emails they receives in a day.

Thier in house rules says 7 to 14 working day to respond to queries but the facts are there for anyone to see as reports after reports continue to refkect that they never score close to average in thier asessment in this regard.
Have tried calling thier 094623200 number? This line is barely opened for upto 1hr between the hours of 10am to 2pm!
Why not try to find the UKBA inspectors report 2009 on BHC, Abuja then maybe your opnion might change!

GEJ was not attacked- Says Niboro[b][/b]Source Thisday Newspaper, 13th May, 2011, page 3

youself 'clever' pass GEJ! How can you believe comments from that niboro of a person on a PDP newspaper?

FYI, this news was reported live by al' jazera and reuters also covered it yesterday. GEJ convoy was attacked but i doubt if the protesters knew whose convoy it was.

By the way, what economic interest do nigeria have in Uganda of all places to warrant GEJ 'wasting' our money on such a needless trip? What do nigeria as a nation stand to gain from the incoming president's government? Did it finally dawn on GEJ that most of the presidents/heads of states who were there were mainly those one would regard as 'despotic' leaders?

Hope they did not stone him with pure water like ohakim!

The UKBA do provide info on their website, enough for anybody who care to do some searching, some Nigerians are too lazy to search for info and rather use agent. Some Nigerians like short-cut, always trying to beat the system, we are not the only nation on earth that travels to the UK, why are we always on the news for all wrong reasons?

How many school in the UK send their rep to Nigeria to provide prospective student with immigration info? Very very few schools care to do that and when they do, its to recruit student, they are not there to lecture them on immigration issues, visit any school website and search for student visa, u will be referred to UKBA website.

Always have in mind that not everybody have immigration history so straight forward that can be addressed by the information on the website.

I fail to understand why they would have a correspondence unit and give out e-mails then refuse to reply to queries raised. Something i know they wouldn't do in the UK.

Also bear in mind that not every body can get thier head around the inter-linked cubersome immigration rules where in certain instances, the wordings communicate something entirely different from what the immmigration laws dictates.

@Jugzy, Vicjustice, omo_tier1, justwise and others pls help!

My cousin won her appeal, got the result on the 17th of april . But up till now, BHC still hasn't called yet so I'm wondering what could be the reason or should I say delay. I read Jugzy post, which happens to be nearly the same time she applied. Her application was made june, despite the fact that they adjourned the case, they finally allowed it april 12th. I'm thinking if she could get in touch with BHC or what do you suggest?

Thanks in anticipation

Did you submitt the appeal yourself or were helped by an immigration solicitor?

If you did the appeal yourself and not through an immigration solicitor then get the 'determination' of the immigration judge scanned, draft a letter of notice addressed to the Entry Clearance manager (ECM)at the entry post where your application was assessed and forward same with the 'determinaton' attached to Abuja.Visas.CorrespondenceUnit@fco.gov.uk (please note the upper case in the e-mail address). Also note, that the embassy usually avail themself sometime frame to process your visas and they often given maximum of 90days for long term visas but if you keep knocking on thier door, you will be asked to bring your passport within a couple of days after they acknowledge the receipt of your determination.

If your appeal was through an immigration solicitors, then should know better by faxing the outcome of the appeal to the foriegn commonwealth office who are in charge of the high commissions.

Have you confirmed if the Home Office didnot appeal the decision of the AIT immigration judge? Usually this is done after 7days and the AIT will notify you if that is the case.

If after 90days you get no response, then write a 'legal' letter to them warning of a court action should they fail to process your visas within 14days.

Hope this helps and please come back and let others know how things went for you so lessons can be learnt by others.

well maybe we can begin to use this as our "baseline config" to keep our men busy while we put our house in order to begin design and build our own unique version.

but again, i suspect this move by the US as a strategic attempt to gain entry and control of the vital waters within nigeria where she currently has little or no presence. Like the devil, the US gives you with one handand collects much with the other! I DO NOT TRUST THE USA! Always blood tasty and economically hungry for more.

Dear All
I need some advice please. My fiancé was refused a visiting visa based on the information he gave. He said he earns 250,000 which is his gross (before tax) whereas he actually gets paid 94,000 net (after tax). The ECO’s words were - I note that the account you submitted does not reflect your stated salary. Although salary credits can be seen in this account, you are more often paid 2 times less what you have claimed. I also note you have not submitted any original pay slips to confirm your stated salary.[/color]

Second reason for refusal given was that he used my uncle and said he is his uncle but NOT his sponsor. They rang my uncle and my uncle said he is a family friend. These are the ECO’s words - You state that your sponsor is your uncle (He never did that. He said he was sponsoring himself) however I have contacted your sponsor today and he has confirmed you are not related as claimed. Your sponsor has confirmed that he is sponsoring your visit and that you are a family friend. Whilst I note that you will be accommodated by your sponsor, you have not provided any evidence that he has adequate accommodation available to you during your stay. You also state that he is a Doctor, however you have not provided any evidence of your sponsor’s employment in the UK. He attached a letter form my uncle and his British passport but nothing else as he never claimed to be his sponsor.[color=#990000]

He has been told he has no full right of appeal. Now the dilemma is this. Does he re-apply or do you think he’s been banned based on the inconsistencies above and though it says he hasn’t got full rights of appeal, can he still appeal ?

From the information given, since the ECO did not state that your fiance has been refused under paragraph 320 7(b ) under the relevant sub-section of the immigration rules, then it is UNLIKELY he has been banned. I would urge you to go back and re-read the "Notice of Refusal" again to be sure sure of what the ECO commented. As for the salary issue, your fiance did not help much by not including an official documentation of his salary in the form of payslips. That would have enabled the ECO to tally his earnings BEFORE tax as that paid into his account is usually his salary AFTER tax.The ECO usually assesses Salary before tax and then uses the balance in the account to assess if you currently have sufficient funds to meet your need when you do travel to the UK.

On your second reason for refusal, again He made a mistake by giving misleading information about his sponsor.

Looking at the situation overall, I think it is better to re-apply, but in this instance, your fiance should state in his application form under the section for additional information or in a well written letter address to the ECO , stating that He has applied before and He was refused, stating the reasons why He was refused and explaining that the ECO did not get his facts right. NOTE: This has to be written in a diplomatic language and in a clear and concise way that would help them to understand where the ECO may have gotten the information given in the first application wrongly since they will always go to your file at the BHC, Abuja and cross check the information you gave previously with the most recent information in your new application - Make sure you are consistent!!!


NOT ACTING CONFUSED, BUT OVERALL, FROM THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDED, FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST, SOME ECO WILL TEND TO VIEW IT AS DECEPTION, WHICH USUALLY WILL LEAD TO A BAN OF 10YEARS THAT IS WHY I WANT YOU TO GO BACK AND RE-READ THE NOTICE OF REFUSAL CAREFULLY.

ALSO, YOU CAN ASK HIM TO WRITE A LETTER TO THEM REQUESTING THEM TO CLARIFY THINGS UP AS TO WHETHER HE IS CURRENTLY UNDER ANY BAN BY THE UK AND IN SOME CASES, THE BHC HAVE RESPONDED POLITELY AND OTHERS THEY HAVEN'T


HOPE THIS HELPS. Also read the information here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/part9/

That will assist you to know if your fiance has been banned from the UK

I have found out that when my living room is untidy when visitors arrive they leave their biscuits wrap on the mantle piece and it infuriates me so I make sure I clean up and show I have standards. By and large their is corruption and disrespect at the UKBA in NIG but
We as Nigerians must clean up our acts and also increase PR to show that we take reponsibilities and donot favour the short cut. In my thinking the UKBA have seen too many oriolori, too many iselese and so cannot be bothered yet all my family members I have invited have been promptly given visa and they know that if they donot return to NIG I will personally get scotland yard on their case becos it harms others chances.
In my opinion the greatest work is with us as it stands if you have a clean record with UKBA and have just enough for your holiday you will enter. The crowd at that visa gate with what % are fake and what % are for real even if its 20% that are fake its still a mind blowing adminstrative palava and to say we are not as bad as they make us look is a bit offside, I do agree that improvements can be made but I think more from our naija end.

While I agree with much of what you said, but I think we often over look the fact that not every one wanting to come to the UK has anybody there to assist with the right information and I have met so many professionals in the UK who passed through hell while they tried to secure thier visas/work permit simply because they could not get the right and prompt information from the BHC, Abuja to assist them with submitting the right documentations. This is where I am at odd with the UKBA and the BHC, Nigeria because if people are wanting to do things right by requesting for information, yet you deny them same, and upon that basis you refuse thier visas, I think that is completely unfair. I know fairness is not in the dictionary of the BHC staff/ECOs in Nigeria.

This is the more reason UK universities are now appointing representatives in Nigeria to provide the right information as per documentation and also guide the student applicants with thier application - something the embassy staff are suppose to assist with be just a couple of key strokes!

this is one thing i dislike in the way SE respond whenever they are shown to 'spare parts'; they never seems to sit down to plan rather they go about crying awolf!

It was a no brainer that the present PDP structure will and can never favour the SE.

Hope it is beginning to dawn on the SE that 2015 igbo presidency is another pipe dream just like the ever elusive second river niger bridge!

At least, the SS know they will get juicy ministerial slots plus key adviser positions and Aso rock personnel.

Maybe the mathematical equation ought to be ; SE + SS = SE*e^-1 (Find the solution by means of bi-linear least fit iteration technique)

Arrant nonesense! If these families accept this money with mounting pressure on the government to thoroughly investigate and bring to book both the killers and the government officials who failed in thier  duty to nigeria,then truly thier ward died in vien!

FG giving each family 5million is slap on the face!Given how much GEJ reportedly (though not confirmed yet) spent on his election.

5000000/253 =£19,685.03! Thats utter rubbish. In civilized climes, all you would have heard is un disclosed sum 'cos of the wright of the fine the government would be required to pay the victims' families.

May the soul of the dead in christ rest in peace, Amen.

No matter what your miss givings are about sun newspaper, u must admit that they get their stories right alot of times, yes the headlines maybe blown out of proportion but u have remember that their sister newspapers carries the same story. Why is it that anytime a story of visa scam comes up in newspapers if a Nigerian name is not mentioned then the story is not written?

Do not forget so quickly that the UK SUN is a witty tabloid that sells on sensationalism! Has it come to your notice that in the article it was two persons mentioned but the author decided to sensationalize the story by going negative about nigerians and the so called crimes and the more laughable one drugs! Onlu a damned wit would not know that the brits are the master in drug peddling in continental europe.

OBAMA SHOULD STAY OUT OF NIGERIA! WE DO NOT NEED HIM NOW.


BEAF! You better tell your president with Phd in mumulogy that He should return Nigeria to her neutral position in international matters where Obasanjo left us as we have benefited more from it. Engaging in closer ties with the US now can be classified as "substantial risk" with consequencies too numerous! The US for now is a liability financially, politically, economically and socially.

Like the bible said of the devil; the US is roaring round the world looking for the prey she would devour for her economic revival and stability. Maybe it is really true that afterall that the US represents a force = mass x acceleration for evil!

Obama should leave us a lone, as his visit will further highten the extremist within and outside nigeria with nigeria ending up paying with her citizens blood!

If any presence is required, surely it would be that of Miss Hilary Clinton! I know by the time she leaves, our money will still be intact with the inept government officials chewing bitter cola as I know she will give it to 'em rawr as she sees it fit.

Obviously the BHC or UKBA do get it wrong sometimes, but some Nigerians have a reputation, the damage has been done and it will take ages to clean up, its not by acident that almost all the embassies treat application from Nigerians with suspision. BHC did not collaborate with other countries to treat Nigerians like criminals, we brought it upon our selves , It took me 3wks to get a visa to Hong Kong while other nationalities gets it in 3days.

Yes some cases are over played, i accept that but the truth is. . we have messed things up

I agree with you that by and large we brought this stain upon ourselves! But funny enough, I find it strange that whenever i happen to apply for visas at other post of application outside of nigeria, my applications are treated speedily!

Any back to the topic I posted, yea I know i really did not comment on the nigerian arrested largely 'cos the article is from the SUN UK! I had to research another relliable source to confirm how true it was and i found out the dude through his lawyers have vehemently denied all the charges.

But if this is true, the dude should face the full weight of the law. Enough is enough.

@justwise
Like I said in the post that was blocked - I understand your point but I still can't justify how possible it is for BHC, Abuja can process 126 applications a day if truly applications are being assessed correctly which I doubt is the case. On the 46% refusal rate (which I find to be on the high side),a report published by the UKBA inspector late 2009 december highlighted the fact that BHC Abuja ECO/ECM are culpable in misrepresenting supporting evidence in form of documents provided same by applicants leading to a high initial refusal rates and marginally 5-10% upturns in decisions.

While I am not disputing the fact that some nigerian applicants engage in the use of 'fake' documents, however findings in a report released about 3years ago indicated that the for quite a number of the applicants, there was no proper documents verification checks by the documents verifications department before the ECOs make such conclusions.This I know first hand as someone i know wanting to come over to the UK for his MSc was refused with the ECO claiming his bank statements and letter were false and he refused him under pgh 320b of the immigration rules. The ECO claimed he put a call to the bank in lagos and they confirmed it to be false. Unknown to the ECO, the bank statement was for one of the bank's top directors who was acting as a sponsor. Sensing danger, the owner of the statement ordered for the call log to the bank within the period the application was submitted and the date of the decision, lo and behold there was no such call made from BHC. The BHC was confronted with the evidence and a letter from the owner of the account and surprisingly, the ECM wrote back requesting he should bring his passport as he claimed the ECO did not properly carry out the bank statement verification and that no call was made to the bank as alleged!Funny enough, he1 was later given 3 years instead of the one year he should have been given!

Lastly, I know you have been helpful to some of the folks in here with info as par thier application/refusal but you would agree with me and UKCOSA that the seemingly failure of the BHC to assist with correct and prompt response with information is why people are now turning there questions to forums such as this.

Politricks is not fantasy! I guess SE lost the war even before the battle began! While they were busy chasing shadows, naming & shaming thier own (i.e former PDP national chairman) others went two steps ahead reaching agreement with GEJ to retain status quo.
It is no longer news that SE has lost the speakership position! So much for erigging all in the name of Odechukuw is our brother!

I guess after this, they would truly realize that GEJ afterall politically is a "barren fig tree from the valley of ghison"

We SS knew from day one that it will be politically suicidal to push aside SW and North. Though I do not support PDP and never will, any curious observer,will see clearly that the structure of the PDP is in the hands of top guns in the SW & North and all along since the crushing defeat of Alex Ekwueme by Obasanjo,the SE became 'spare part' for the PDP!Hence they willl find it difficult to have thier way as long as obj is still the BOT chairman!

When this present reality dawns on the SE, I hope they would go and clean up thier APGA and make work for them 'cos nigeria politrickings of the 70s' are here in full force.i.e regional partaaaaay - throw your hands in the air boiz!

That article said they handle AVERAGE of 126 a day, as usual u are blaming the UKBA and not Nigerians who submits fake documents on daily bases, here in travel section there are alot of them encouraging pple to come and buy bank statement. This is what some of us Nigerians are good at. . blaming others for our wicked acts.

While I understand your point as to how Nigerians engage in the use of supposedly 'fake' documents in support of thier applications, however i think you are missing the point overall.

There is a report published in 2009 by inspectors for the UKBA bothering on visa applications at BHC, Abuja - where a large number of UK visas issued in nigeria are processed. The report highlighted serious abuse and misrepresentations of applicants supporting documents by ECOs and ECMs.Several key recommendations were made by the inspectors and the UKBA by and large accepted much of the report findings yet those nigerians affected by this abuse did not get any reprieve!

Again another findings by UKCOSA about three years ago indicated that to an extent, most nigerian applicants genuinely want to apply for visas however, the BHC in nigeria were failing to provide the needed support in the form of prompt and correct response to questions raised by intending applicants. If in doubt take your telrphone and call the BHC Abuja help line which out to be operational betweeen the hours of 10am and 2pm and you would be shocked to findout that the lines are barely open for 1hr between 10 am and 11am. Also send them e-mails and they will take more than 6 working days to respond.This is further confirmed by the rate at which would be applicant now rush to forums such as this to ask questions that would otherwise be asked of officers of the BHC, Abuja if they were open and responsive without much delays.

Further and in addition, recent Appeals and JR review judgement/determinations in the UK has continued to highlight the fact that the BHC, Abuja even by thier own in house rules are failing to use the right channel to establish the genuiness or otherwise of documents submitted by applicants, with resulting consequence been abuse of the pgh 320b sub sections of the immigration rules on applicants. More so, when asked to produce documents verification reports by the relevant UK department by UK court judges they never seems to have one with excuses that the tried putting a call through and there was no response from the other end!

These short comings are no fault of nigerians who have deligently paid for such services in way of application administrative charges.

In all this is not to say there arent nigerians who delibrately use fake documents but based on the findings by various groups, it is obvious that the BHC , Abuja systematically are discriminating against nigerian applicants.

if the AVERAGE a day is 126 meaning it could be less or more, how many minutes in your judgement will it take to properly assess cumbersome UK visa applications which in most cases usually involves security checks for documents, abuse of immigration in the past etc. and how many ECOs/ECMs would be required to be able to achieve such a high application processing in a day?

Also, (forget the political is itbchannel or Itv dispatch and Sky Travel propaganda),if the use of fake documents by nigerian visas applicant is as widely spread as they want us to believe why then did the UKBA not put nigeria on the red/amber alert in her published list of countries who discriminately engage in such?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3557566/Illegals-given-visas-for-bribes.html

Now this article reveals more than the eyes can see! How possible is it for the UKBA/BHC Abuja and Lagos to be able to access 126 visa application per day?

Visa refusal rate of 46% needs to be investigated but unfortunately, we do not have a serious goverment but I know some day, the colonia criminals will be made to answerfor thier criminality. I doubt if truly applicants with such a high percentage would make error of judgement in thier applications! Surely Tommy McGuiness are still continuing in thier sinister acts at the BHC Abuja and Lagos despite several UK court judgement rebuke of him and his cohort system abuse of thier positions.

If you truly are a practising christian like I am, ask yourself the simple question; why is it that the vast majority (well over 80%)of the terror groups are focusing thier targets at the USA? Are they the only economic super power in the world?

Secondly, check all over the world where extremist are gaining a foot hold, the USA has either in the past aided or part took or is currently part taking in grave injustice mostly for thier own selfish economic gains yet she wants the world to pay for her sins!

@ op, what does your preamble mean? Buhari shld be behind bars by now for letting innocent citizens die. Infact as buhari is heading to another round of failure in the tribunal after that of the election, he shld be jailed or hang for committing genocide in the north

you talk like a child who had his candy stolen from his lunch box!

I know you and your PDP crooks still believe in trial and sentence without evidence as we have seen in the past 12years!

If the prosecutor general of nigeria has any incrminating evidence, then let her go ahead and seek court orders for Buhari's arrest and prosecution!

Funny how nothing serious has happened to the alleged IBB bombers after so much noise by this current inept government!

If for anything, barring that stupid clause in the constitution (that seems to prevent the govetnment from being sued forfailure to provide basic services like good roads, water, security etc) this inept government would have been sued for her failure to act decisively despite the overwhelming intelligence that was at her disposals.

Happen to talked to Brig. General who was incharge of a formation that was susposed to be discharged to quel the rioters and I was left shocked when he confirmed that he was restrained by orders from above (presidency/command)not to deploy his men (without any reasons) well over 8hrs after the killings and burnings started.

Rather cast the stone on Buhari, first go do same on your LEADER who in my opinion does not fully understand what it means to be a commander-in-chief. Maybe we need another WIKI LEAKS to confirm that to us.

Beaf:
What a silly comment!
In case you don't know, Buhari's case is almost laughable. All the time Buhari's team was engaging almajiri's and spouting meaningless "running scared, question his PhD" talk, GEJ's team was busy strategising and employing intellectual might to maroon and dismember Buhari's neanderthal tactics. So there is rock solid evidence of child voting, photo, video, aural, witness, written, from internet sources; whereas Buhari is talking crap about Excell. Its a no prisoners taken situation.

i know your warri brain cannot read between the lines as far as this case is concerned!

With the new electoral act 2010, and the INEC Election policy, all the needed to be established using forensic analysis to show that substantial votes manipulation occurred in substantial number of polling units across a statr/region for such to be deemed invalid! This can easily be done with INEC's database of finger prints coallated during the voter's registration.This brings to mind the Osun INEC saga!

Further, the request by CPC for INEC tp provide same with sign off receipts of all sensitive materials used for the elections as some legal luminaries I have spoken to indicated makes this court challenge an interesting one!

No doubt,unless GEJ/PDP exploits the legal loop hole in our current judicial systrm, they are in for something like a double shocker.

To those talking about excel spreadsheet, carefully go and read the full prayers prayed the court by CPC, maybe you would understand why team GEJ are running scared!

Maybe it is becoming clearer to the world that America is just as blood tasty as those they are fighting!

A war without end but will bankrupt America substantially!

All this na noise! How many of us know the names of Fashola, Oshiomhole, Amechi's commissioners? Are they not delivering good and purposeful development to thier respective states?

Again this is another sign that GEJ is not ready to be a president! Otherwise any body wanting to contest for such an office with the intention of truly developing nigeria would have already known who and who would be in key positions in his government (i.e front benchers like we know it in the UK) with the hope of filling the least important positions soon after he takes over! But the reverse is the case from what we have being reading and witnessing with our eyes in GEJ's government.

Any sensible leader contesting any elective positions ought to have an idea well before the elections of who and who will best fit into your government and can not only deliver what you and by an extension the people want(wether good or bad)but more importantly can make 'imports' into your government for the overall good of the citizens.

God help us to help ourselves!

400k? Ha! this boy na confirm dunce, as far as i'm concerned, anybody that can take the lives of over 3000 people in one fell swoop is not a human being. So i will sell and sell till everybody in America has the t-shirt.

An example of why nigerians are labeled as despirately wicked with snared hearts.
Wisdom they say is for all but only the noble at heart profit with her.

This bloke has wisdom and he is doing what is right spiritually and otherwise. Must you take advantage of the misfortunes of others to succeed in this life? For your likes who are ignoble at heart, your answer may well be yes but to those with wisdom, they know the contrary is the answer.

At least, tommorrow no body will claim he made it rich by chance.
Good decision I say and I know God will give him bigger ideas that will make his business coast enlarged.

oh oh, team GEJ are already running scared!

Watch out for the drama that is about to unfold as forensic technology is used to map finger prints in ballot papers against INEC's database.

No doubt nigerians will begin to question the credibility of the last elections

Rejoice not when evil befall your neighbour, irt just might be a signal that you are next in line!

Those inside that aircraft should be ashamed of themselves. I am a practising christian and I condemn the attitude of those passengers.

To all, today it might be IMAMS and we all turn our eyes to this wrong. But tomorrow it might be innocent christians that would become the victims as is the case presently in the UK.

Two wrongs never makes right and this is the clear reason the world is loosing the war on terror.

The time is ticking, PDP will be kicked out of delta by the tribunal.

Have a little more patience.

I and God forbid my state being led by Ogboni cabals! Thank God I am not from IMO or SE.

In any case, I wish imolites all the best. Remember, a people gets the leaders they deserve!

May God strengthen the imo people to enable them choose leaders who will govern them with reverential fear, bring true development with God's wisdom rather than satan's greek "sunesis".

It seems imolites have traded a 'snake' for the 'tortoise' - God have mercy!
