In what appears to be a repeat of what happened in Imo state where APC manufactured and allocated imaginary votes to itself, a similar scenario is playing out again as the ruling party after failing truncate the inauguration of elected chairmen in the FCT have resorted to using the Imo supreme court abracadabra to overturn the will of FCT voters.

It will be recalled that Mr. Christopher Maikalangu, won the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) elections by polling 19,302 votes to defeat Murtala Usman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who scored 13,240 votes

However, in a twist of events the FCT Election Tribunal judges awarded the loser non existent votes and nullified his emergence as winner of the Feb. 12 AMAC council elections.

Links: https://guardian.ng/news/fct-tribunal-judgment-we-will-appeal-says-amac-chairman/

Yesterday, reprieve came the way of the embattled chairman, during the appeal as INEC emphatically declared that those votes existed only in the imagination of the APC as they had no knowledge of the fake votes leading the FCT natives to demand for the NJC to act.

https://leadership.ng/amac-election-natives-ask-efcc-njc-to-probe-judgement-against-pdp/


If allowed, the APC will continue to create fake votes after it has lost elections and use the courts to validate criminality like they did in Imo. We have decided to follow this case bumper to bumper and urge Nigerians to do same in order to prevent criminality from triumphing over the will of the people !!!

Imo was just unfortunate that their own case passed through the supreme Court undetected.

Orji Uzor Kalu wants the political status quote to remain. He feels ontop of his kinsmen and the youths of Nigeria.

Nyamuri:
If Tinubu wins, Orji will probably be the Senate President

A country Orji Uzor Kalu is its Senate president must be a Banana Republic.
Abia state University could not even give
Orji Uzor Kalu a Bachelors degree which Orji pretended he was studying for when he was governor of Abia state.

The type of benefit which Orji Uzor Kalu's governorship of Abia state gave to Aba.

Orji Uzor Kalu is responsible for the destruction of Aba, the once touted Japan in Africa. Fool.

Racoon:
This is the same president under whose watch ASUU have been on strike for more than 6 months now. This is the same man that refused to develop the Nigerian education system while his children schooled abroad.

Hypocrisy of the Western education is Haram president.

agadez007:
Where are those white skin worshipping Yoruba demons that were opening threads upon threads about Uju Anya and insulting the Igbo tribe
They should come and defend their slave masters as usual,did I reach here early?

They are Tinubu urchinss who believe that the survivors of the late Queen will help make their Tinubu to succeed President Buhari.
Slavery and colonialism become virtues for them.

Ha ha ha.
It's known that some southerners are bent on having Nigeria to be totally overrun by the Fulani.
With Zoning of the presidency between the north and the south now demolished, tell how a southerner can again win Nigeria's presidential election after Atiku presidency.

GeneralPula:
Nice.

Like Reno said, you can’t blame the queen for civil war like the Igbos are acting..

Should every Nigerians start telling what they suffered back in the days, y’all would know the main catalyst for the civil war are Igbos..

MKO ABIOLA consistently called for reparations from the colonialists and slavery masters to Nigeria.
The ugly role of the colonial masters that led to genocide in Biafra is known.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. Igbo bashing will not solve your problem.

GeneralPula:
Nice.

Like Reno said, you can’t blame the queen for civil war like the Igbos are acting..

Should every Nigerians start telling what they suffered back in the days, y’all would know the main catalyst for the civil war are Igbos..

Survivors of the Queen shall help make our Tinubu to become president of Nigeria. That's all about the Igbo bashing by Tinubu urchinss since Igbo's Uju Anya made her remarks on the dying Queen. For Tinubu urchinss, colonisation and slave trade now become virtues.
Most Shophistiwretched - Tinubu urchinss.

See the dusty road they were marching on. Nobody from Queen's hometown will agree to step on such a road.

incandescentena:
APC needs to rethink and drop out of the 2023 race

Yes, unless Tinubu is not interested in having the presidency come to the south in 2023.

Tinubu should have known earlier that north will abandon APC after PMB.
For now, if Tinubu continues with his presidential race, he is merely paving the way for Atiku to win.

Obojuju:
It is now obvious to all and sundry that Tinubu has moved from being the overlord in 2015 to an underdog in 2022, just a year to the election. It's even possible that it'll not just rain but pour on Tinubu. Everything that could get wrong is getting wrong to the point that it'll be an upset for Mr Tinubu to come second in the election. In fact, he may likely drag number 3 with Kwakwanso. How did it get so bad for the Lagos landlord?
I think he hadn't reckoned with the emergence of Obi, but rather anticipated a contest between the north and the south. Tinubu was depending on Southern sentiment to arm twist the north with cries of it's the turn of the south. Unfortunately for him, Obi happened and Nigerians just love him.
It's obvious that Tinubu has invested heavily in northerners to buy their loyalty prior to this time. The man and his mafia had hoped that PDP would field a Southerner from SE/SS. They would have used tribalism, religion and ethnic hatred to arm twist the north to support Tinubu who would have been sold as 'a friend of the north' but unfortunately for Tinubu, Atiku happened and became his nemesis in the North. The north no longer need a friend but "one of their own".
And it gets worse...
With Atiku in the picture, Tinubu panicked ... Atiku is a Muslim and Tinubu has no hope of mass votes in the south. The SE and SS are no go areas for him. Now the north that he banked on for years is slipping off his fingers. What was he to do? Tinubu goofed and went to a Muslim running mate to counter Atiku.
He effectively became the only candidate with an opponent in the north stopping his progress and an opponent in the south stopping his progress. That is the story of Tinubu. From overlord to an underdog. He will come a distant 3rd in the next year presidential election.

Who could have put it better.
All Tinubu candidacy now is about is concede victory to Atiku, instead of Obi to win.
Even this Buratai shall vote for Atiku.

ATLIEN2027:
A story on a confirmed newspaper from 2009 is a rumor?
Now I can see why they call people like you ZOMBIDIENTS.

I just left Lagos last week and I can tell you right now that your Peter Obi tuary will be lucky to win one single state.
Better get used to it, Bola Hamed Tinubu is the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

A story is what you now change to; after saying it was a rumour. What is the difference between a rumour and a story?
It's like you drank kai kai before coming here to comment.
Anyhow, to support Tinubu to succeed President Buhari, one must be mad. You deserve no more response.

ATLIEN2027:
No record of Obi stealing money? Well read this story all the way form 2009. The story was not written yesterday or even last year, this is a story from way back in 2009 before he even dreamt of running for office.
Tinubu has way better record than your Pandora candidate, he has a track record of getting things done, that's one of the reason why you and Obi ran to Lagos.
Stop posting lies and lies like OBI TUARY. TINUBU WAS NEVER ARRESTED FOR DRUGS.
I have lived most of my life in the US and I know how the legal system works very very well. If Tinubu was ever arrested for anything of such, finding the record of such arrest will be too easy for me to find.
Do you also know that Obi's brother in law Dubem Obazie is in London prison for drug offenses? The rumor is that he was working hand and hind with the lying Peter Obi when he got caught.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/07/alleged-n250m-anambra-money-police-launches-fresh-investigation/
https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/481/n250million-peter-obis-in-law-flees-to-the-united-kingdom.html

Even if facts are place on your nose as it is now, you will still be blind to the facts.

Rumour in bold. From Rumour mongers like you.
Tinubu's record of getting caught in drug trafficking business money in the US is everywhere, including the US government records.
Return to Nigeria from the US and pontificate your falsehood of Tinubu track record of developing Lagos more than Obi developed Anambra state, and see what normal people will tell you. Lagos development started as far back as 1866.
Besides, Tinubu has been in the political process of Nigeria, far longer than Obi, first of all. His actions and inaction contributed to the mess of Nigeria today.
Tinubu's only claim of it's his turn to succeed President Buhari, because he helped Buhari to become president, is at best, kindergarten-like.
Tinubu's APC reduced Nigeria to be a country harboring the largest number of poor, hungry, politically corrupt and most terrorised people on earth. And he promised to continue from where Buhari stopped.
Guess the anger in this young man that made him risk climbing this pole in protest to change from the old order of having old, sickly and most corrupt class to preside over Nigeria (APC and PDP are two sides of the same coin), to a new order of having younger, healthier, less corrupt and more educated Obi/Datti to take over control of Nigeria from 2023.

ATLIEN2027:
Just listen to this brainwashed Peter Obi tuary Zombidient who's only voting for a failed candidate simply because he's Igbo.

Obi has no record to run on besides the fact that he's IGBO. If Obi was from another tribe, fanatics like you will be laughing him off the stage.
People in the west don't vote based on sentimental feelings like Zombidients like you, they look at what the candidate had done in the past.
Obi was a failed Governor who enriched himself by investing govt money into his family business, He's men were caught in Lagos with 250 MILLION NAIRA in CASH in 2009. He's explanation was that they wanted to pay a contractor in cash. Only dumbest brainwashed Zombidient fools will believe such lies.
You can read the story for yourself that if you have the capacity to read and comprehend.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/07/alleged-n250m-anambra-money-police-launches-fresh-investigation/

Hey Zombidient fool, I paid my way through school, no one sent me a dime while in the University.
I bet the brainwashed IPOB terrorist that made you and Obi ran away form the SE have way more sense than you despite their imbecility.

Voters in the Western country where you are on exile CANNEVER VOTE a Tinubu caught in the US with drug trafficking money to be president of their country.

Voters in the Western world cannot vote a man suffering from Parkinsonism and urinating on his trousers for president of their country.
Cure your bigotry.
There is no record of Obi or Sowore or the SDP presidential candidate with corrupt practice anywhere in the world. Stop being seeeily.

ATLIEN2027:

Story is from[b] 2009. Read then come back to comment.[/b]

If a Governor should try what Peter Obi tuary did in 2009, the FBI will be on his ass like white on rice.
The man is a crook, ain't no other way to state the obvious. His men were caught with 250 Million naira in 2009 , Obi ran to Lagos to cover for he thieves because he sent them and then claim that they were paying a contractor with the 250 Million in CASH.
This is the kind of idiotic fool that you want us to have as a President?
Must be on crack..

This crook who registered on NL with this umpteenth moniker on July 2022, to spew his/her ethno-religious bigotry all the place online.
Tinubu was caught with drug trafficking business money in the US. Tinubu forfeited the drug money to the US government in exchange for non prosecution.
Atiku bribed a US Senator who is still serving jail term for Atiku bribe.
Both Tinubu and Atiku are political pariahs before the leaders of the powerful Western nations.
You probably live in the Western world but still exude ethno-religious bigotry on Nigeria's affairs. If you had remained in Nigeria, the Alayes and other Area Boys in the SW region, shall be more civil than you. It's like money spent on your education was wasted.
Wake up. Support the most qualified presidential candidate for leadership of Nigeria, the way they do in the Western country you probably went into for exile, after Nigeria was ruined by the choice of inept presidents by ethno-religious bigots.

ATLIEN2027:
Stop posting misinformation.

Trains int the US and Europe DO NOT MAKE PROFIT.
DO your research before posting information

Amtrack in the US is subsidies by the FED, States and other agencies

State and Federal Subsidies
Amtrak receives funding from 20 state agencies and 17 states to support its short-distance lines (all except the NEC).

Forty-seven percent of all Amtrak trips in 2020 took place on state-funded lines. In total, Amtrak received $342 million in state subsidies in 2020, which amounts to 14% of its total revenue.

Furthermore, Amtrak received roughly $2.0 billion in federal grants in 2020. In its annual report, however, the company does not consider these subsidies revenue. These funds are part of the $8.1 billion sum that the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 allocated for Amtrak to use between 2016 and 2020.

The London train system has been around for ages and still not making any profit.

What makes you automatically thinks that only money from Delta will be used? Is Delta not part of Nigeria, where they not enjoying the Nigerian wealth prior to discovery of oil? If oil becomes irrelevant today, won't they still be part of Nigeria?
I see your problem is not the economics of it but the tribal slant of it.

BYE

You people's cup are getting filled.
Do US and UK sideline a part of their countries when they provide development infrastructures; the way Nigeria's government sidelined the east and the Niger Delta region in providing standard gauge rail lines?
Oil stands for a large percentage of Nigeria's income, no matter the misinformation from your lot.
Nigeria's ethno-religious bigoted leaders pick crude oil and gas money from the Niger Delta but refuse to build development infrastructures, including standard gauge rail lines in the east and most of the Delta region, but built the standard gauge rail lines in the arid north that contributes nothing to the government purse; even built in Niger Republic. You come here to spew garbage. Good as you said you Shorrup.

DOnlooker:
Corruption everywhere! A whole NRC that should be buying diesel in tanker loads at reseller prices is now buying even at more expensive price than pump prices. If you look well, the supplier is just a front for one or more of the directors milking away the system.

....and Nigeria is known by rest of the world as one of the first ten oil producing countries.
Yet Diesel is hard to come by in Nigeria.

One remembers when Obasanjo was president. One remembers the communique issued by Obassnjo's Southern Political Leaders meeting headed by Tony Anenih in Enugu.
The Communique read like: the problems of Nigeria are because Nigeria has been governed for too long by people who live far away from the location of the resources that sustain Nigeria.

Wrong policy decision makers largely influenced by ethnic or religious bigotry.

Cognitivereason:
no sane person sound in economics will read the jargons you wrote and think you mentally sound

who told you high patronage reduces operational cost..

Oga tell me any business that high patronage reduces operational costs..

I clearly stated that patronage isn't the problem. population and the goods to be transported isn't the problem..

the problem is that actual amount that needs to be charged by NRC to effectively run the facility isn't allowed..

overloading the trains will do very little at addressing it

all of the things you stated will make sense if the problems were patronage

how will building the rails at onitsha reduce the cost of diesel which is around N800 ..diesel prices are primarily the cost of operation

In bold.
First, I am happy you called me oga, but why did you at the same time query your oga's mental health?
Now listen to Economics 101:

if rail service provider A uses 500 liters of diesel to transport 300 available passengers in a train which has a capacity of 600 passengers, because no more passengers were available to fill up the remaining 300 seats;
but a similar rail service provider B uses 500 litres of diesel to transport full capacity 600 passengers to equidistant to A,
it's obvious that service provider B shall get richer and be self-sustaining more than service provider A.
Furthermore, if service provider B's services are usually rushed, and in a day, B runs the distance with full passenger capacity many times, more than Service provider A, it's obvious that service provider B is by far ahead of service provider A.
Don't clutch tight on Iberiberism to insult who you referred to as oga.

ATLIEN2027:
Mos of the people commenting here are very ignorant of world realities.
The fact is that most public transportation around the world don't make anything close to their operations cost not to talk of profit.
Especially a new rail system that's just getting off the ground cannot break even anytime soon. Most private businesses don't even break even in the beginning not to talk of a public business. Do you guys even think that most buses and train systems in Europe and the US are breaking even or even making any money? Most will go out of business without govt subsidies and allocations.
Couple this world reality with the Nigerian factor of bribe and corruption. Everyone working at the train station is already thinking of how to pocket the ticket fee instead of giving it to the govt.
Employ some of these youths on NL and their number goal is to get rich from one scam or the other at the train stations....

So you build standard gauge rail lines with the hope of using income from sale of crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger Delta region to sustain the rail business, which your principals refused to build in the Niger Delta region, except the short and misleading Itakpe-Warri route?
Truth is that rail lines and other public transport businesses in Europe and America make profits, because they first establish the transport service in areas of highest demand, and as profit pours in, they use the profits to establish or even sustain the transport service in less busy areas.
But Nigeria would start with first providing services in areas of lesser demand, but ignores the areas of high demand, because of ethno-religious bigotry.

Cognitivereason:
it will still not profit in this current realities..

read to understand ..

the problem is not passengers or lack of patronage

the issue is the cost of running it is higher

if if it cost N1000 to transport 10 passenger who will pay N10 naira each(N100)

it means when you double the no. of passengers ..the cost of running the transport service is increases to N2000 and only N200 will be made..


use your head..

this is why NRC is reducing the number of trips to reduce losses

when you

You have no economic sense.
High Demand lowers Cost of a Service.
That's why it costs less to fly from Europe to America than from Europe to Africa.
The largest business route in Nigeria is Lagos-Benin-Onitsha-PH/Calabar route.
High patronage lowers price, and operational costs.
That's why those luxury buses that ply the above route have survived more than the luxury buses that ply the SW-North route.

Obojuju:
Nigeria urgently needs a turning point. Everybody including even some of Tinubu’s close associates and urchins know that Tinubu does not represent the future. Unfortunately, Nigeria cannot afford a Tinubu presidency. After eight years of maladministration by Buhari, we cannot waste one more day of our national life on another deadwood. Such a person in charge of the resources of the entire nation will build a pipeline from the national purse to his private pockets. If anything, Tinubu’s poor judgement on leadership selections is more than enough proof of his lack of managerial acumen by helping to bring the disaster called Buhari to power. Today he is running away from identifying with Buhari in his campaign for 2023 presidential election and wants Nigeria to vote APC back to power. Never again!

There is no way oil theft can go on without government knowing who the thieves are.

Despite all persuasions to not, PMB usurped and assumed the office of Petroleum Minister


Anyway, as for Tinubu with his southern APC, he is working for Atiku to succeed President Buhari.
Last year, Tinubu announced in Sokoto that the Yoruba are same as the Fulani.

mrvitalis:
I remember predicting this thing ...years back .. infrastructure doesn't really kick start development it complement it this was what Peter Obi was arguing with osibanjo in 2019 now see the results

Speed rails are too expensive to run can never break even in a country as poor as we for now !!!!
What we needed was effective locomotive rail from Ibadan to the ports in Lagos to move containers

$150 million would have achieved that

Their is a rail from warri to lokoja ...it should have been locomotive from warri port to Abuja , with branch off to Onitsha and imo state
From onne to aba then to Enugu then to Jos and Maiduguri
All the Above can be achieved with 600 million dollars max if we have an effective government

1.5 billion dollars wasted I mean over 1 trillion Naira

If proforce and innoson where given 100 billion each to expand production they would have employed twice what this rail line would employ

1 billion to 100 cocoa clusters to build cocoa processing plants ban exportation of raw cocoa we only export cocoa powder and butter with would double value in a taxable business


This are the simple things Peter Obi is talking about ...we don't have much but we can effectively use what we have better

So today it's obvious Peter Obi was right osibanjo was wrong ....won't you still vote Peter Obi ?

As if you don't know that two regions of Nigeria vote for president based on ethno-religious consideration. Every one is smelling the shiit in the shiit hole they created because of ethno-religious bigotry.

Lol.

Lagos-Benin-Onitsha-PH/Calabar standard gauge rail lines if first built, should have yielded excess profits to build, and possibly sustain Lagos-Ibadan-Kano and Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rail lines; if Nigeria were to be a normal country.
Nigeria the country whose ethnic bigot leaderships drive to the edge.

Sentiment aside, I think the core Northern states enjoy good inter and intra city roads unlike their counterparts in the South.

Because through political overrepresentation from the 19 states proliferated in the old Northern region, the north in the Federal Executive Council, National Assembly or Council of States, use its majority to determine what projects can be done and where in Nigeria.
Nigeria became a fraud after Northern military dictators proliferated 19 states in one region, but left only 17 states in two southern regions that formed independent Nigeria with the northern region. Resources from the south are used to build the infrastructures in the far north which contributes nothing to the purse of Nigeria.
Land mass as criterion is never used to create new federating units in a country formed by different regions.
