Nigeria my country. Must we attach tribal sentiment to everything? Instead of initiating good policies and programs that will transform the lives of the local people, they are going after less important issues.

Language is for communication and part of culture of the people.

In the UK, announcements at train Stations are made in English and local languages of the City e.g In Cardiff, announcements are made in English & Welsh.

SIRTee15:
Oyatz really gave a good answer to the problem of Islam.
The propagation of Islam with underlying violent and oppressive Arabic culture hasn't done much good for Islam.

That's the why the new king of Saudi has ordered the hadiths to be reviewed and rewritten.
He said books that came 250 yrs after Islam cannot be regarded as a guide or valid.

Actually, most of the Hadiths reflected the true pictures of life in the 7th century Arab Societies.

The 7th Century Al-Hijaz, Arabia was a Desert with few Oasis towns and ,thus few opportunities to sustain thriving societies. Thus, many clans were in constant struggles (which are ofte violent) against their rivals/neighbours for the few available resources e.g water bodies& grazing grounds.

Violence was freely used and was an acceptable means of settling scores or stamping their authorities against their rivals.


The wealthy people , only made wealth through International Trade and Mecca was along the trade route.

Prophet Muhammad was born in and grew-up in that Society. He also used such cultural means to operate.

The problems crept in when,later-day over zealous Muslims elevated Prophet Muhammad to the Status of a Divine person whose actions were 100% perfect and MUST be emulated by all muslims , regardless of the era or places they live.

muykem:
Why is that terrorist and Islam cannot be separated? Do reasonable Muslims worried about Islamic terrorist spreading across the world?

There are two inter-linked reasons;

1) Historical Origin of Islam: It originated in a culture where violence was very common and acceptable ways of life.

2) Inability of Muslims to accept and differentiate between the Divinity and Humanity of Prophet Muhammad.
Certain actions and pronouncements of Prophet Muhammad were purely ,humanly deriven/inspired, thus aren't applicable to all cultures throughout all ages

Revolution2022:
All the polling units where votings materials were destroyed were units where apc lost to the oppossition.why cant dss arrest mc oluomo who ordered his thugs to destroy polling units where apc lost?The court should also cancel the governorship election because voting took place the same day.

You people just come to Social Media to write whatever suit your propaganda.


Elections didn't hold in 32 Polling Units (how did you just fabricate your opinion that this was caused by MC Olumo?)

Presidential election ,Senate and Reps elections took place on Feb-25,2023 while Governorship and HOA election took place in March-18,2023.

casualobserver:
Although I neither support LP or PDP, I couldn’t care less what happens to Obanikoro. I live in Eti-osa and he is useless, you only hear from him every 4 years. I voted for him only because I was there to vote for Tinubu. Although my Pu is t one of those affected, I will not leave my house just to vote for Obanikoro.

I am just stating the obvious, don’t be like Obidients who refuse to see the obvious. If you have followed my electoral predictions I have been spot on.

The mathematics is not in favour of catching up with the LP fellow. The same fate that befell LP and PDP in the presidential election will befall both Banky and Koro. Their votes will be split and there are not enough votes at stake to catch the Guy, APc is not going to get all the votes, neither is PDP.

There are 40 polling units, the maximum number of voters per polling unit is 750. Therefore the total theoretical maximum votes at stake if all voters turn up is 30,000 to be split among at least 3 candidates. Obanikoro need to win with a majority over LP guy of 7,200, while Banky W needs to get 5,400 more votes than him. To get that sort of margin in a 3 horse race out of 30,000 votes at stake you need close to a 100% turn out. Never in the history of Nigerian elections at ANy level have we had 50% turn out talk less 100%. 50% turn out is only 15,000 voters and yet you need to get more than 7,200 and 5,400 more votes than the guy…..how? If you examine the figures you will realize that even in a 50% turn out, you will need about 90% of the votesto win.

LP voters may switch to Banky W but neither are switching to APC, APCs only hope is mobilizing their base to turn out but it won’t be enough.

You are assuming too much.
I never said APC will win, I only pointed out that there are APC machineries who will work for the party because they stand to gain something unlike most people who voted for LP (mostly ,out of anti-APC/anti-Tinubu sentiments) . Most supporters of LP won't even come out for the supplementary election

FuckTheMod:

As things are now, the real battle will be between APC AND PDP

THAT LP ATTAH GUY IS A GONNER.

Did you see the votes differences? How will APC recover?

Acekidc4:
This one is just wasting his time over Wetin no concern am!!

He is an American collaborator of David Hundeyin in pressing the emotional buttons of the Obidients for monetary rewards

casualobserver:
The gap is too much to catch him. If they were APC or PDP strongholds then possibly but we are talking Eti-osa, considered the demographics of people who live there, there is no hope at best the votes will be split…still no hope. Plus who is motivated to come out and vote just for house of rep? If no be say them join them together for presidential elections would anyone even come out to vote for obanikoro and Banky W?

You don't know what you are talking of.


The are APC members who are real party members that have a lot to gain in the election.
They will work very hard for the APC.
Atta Achief rode on the wave of sympathy for Peter Obi which has largely fizzled out.

Omoawoke:
Enjoy the moment you have, even if you survive this tenor, you will definitely leave that place next election. Yorubas messed up in Lagos. Especially those misguided Genz that went to follow Elluppe propaganda to thumbprint LP.
But eyes clear after they saw how they have been insulted by same Igbos they were supporting all over social media. They eventually lost Lagos governorship shamefully, there's no way LP can win any election again in southwest.

On a second thought, this man has done nothing wrong. Banky W is no better than him.

It is not about what he does or not but election didn't hold in 30 polling units, so it wasn't concluded. Another election will be organized in the affected 30 polling units.

Insults don't win cases in the court.


Check the history of elections in Nigeria since 1959, there is no political party that won Presidential/Federal elections without winning majority in the National Assembly which are often conducted together.

Only broad based political parties can win presidential elections in Nigeria.

ikpumbe:
Stop being petty. Even River State results did not tally. There were descrepiances on votes

This is NOT how to win a case in court.

Peter Obi's Legal Team need to State:

1) The declared votes (which they are contesting)

2) The actual votes (which they are claiming to be the correct votes) .


So, if there are discrepancies in Rivers State,the appropriate thing to do is to list the affected polling units , state the declared votes and what they feel should be the actual votes. In this ways, all figures can be easily reconciled to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Benresmy:
And you and your family keep on suffering and complaining..

This is just the beginning.. Anu ohia

Did Peter Obi (who you guys have now elevated to the status of a Deity that will solve all Problems ) end sufferings in Anambra State?

Dafresh:
That's how you guys said about Okorocha and today you guys have called him IPOB

Nobody call Okorocha IPOB, please stop telling lies and just play your victim card .

crackhouse:
Nigerians only have strength online. Fuel is 617 here, bag of rice is 50k, ordinary 900g milk that i use to buy 1800naira or 2300naira is now 5500naira, tuber of yam that I use to buy 300naira during Jonathan regime is now 1500naira to 2000naira likewise every other thing and yet people still come online to fight over the people that is making life miserable for them? When will Nigerians realise that they need to come together as one and fight their oppressors? When?

How will Nigerians come together and reduce the prices of these items?

Revolution2022:
The miracle of gov hope uzodimma who came fourth might play out.
On another side,why did INEC chairman refused to release election materials to Obi's lawyer to scrutinized?Why did the PEPT say transmission of election results is not mandatory?Why did INEC upload blurry results into the irev?All these are evidences Tinubu didn't win.
The funniest part is that, tinubu's lawyers are the ones who wrote the judgement to the PEPT to rule on.

Gov Hope Uzodinma's case was totally different.

The argument of Hope wasn't about whether there was rigging or not.

He went to Court to challenged the right of INEC to exclude votes (from his LGAs), already declared at the Polling Units

ikpumbe:
If I tell you hope you will believe and not argue.
1. Inec told the whole world that all results will be posted to IReV in real time, this will help to stop rigging. (Inec failed reasons best known to them

2. During the presidencial election, the server went off in the middle of the election, and people started snapping and posting their results on their social media handles. Since the server was down. The voters even madated inec staffs to upload it offline like that. Which they did.
When the server was ON later the next day's those results started uploading themselves, and it talied with the once posted by people's on their social media. Which shows Peter obi on the lead.

Look at what happened in Lagos,rivers, even in the north.

3. After the election inec stubbornly formatted their bvas and denied LP some sensitive informations.

I can go on and on. Even the ApC knew that obi won.

You are quoting a Beer parlour gist.

How many votes did the Labour Party, APC, PDP received?

You can't win an election without stating:

Total registered votes

Accredited votes
Valid votes cast.

Bodexinvest:
If iINEC had transmitted the result immediately,all these noise would have been avoided. The electoral umpire is to blame for all these nonsense.

The Opposition had commission professional Russian hackers to hijack the process and started uploading their prefabricated results.
INEC saved the country from their evil plots.

Even if the results were uploaded immediately,they would still have screamed 'they rigged us out' because Obi and his headless Mob are desperate and don't have spirit of sportsmanship

Johel:
We all know Peter Obi defeated thief.nubu...
The old ugly druggie.

1) Peter Obi NEVER had one quarter of the votes in the 12 Shari'ah Northern States
2) Peter Obi NEVER had a quarter of the votes cast in Five S/West States

3) Peter Obi NEVER had a quarter of the votes in Kwara & Kogi States

These are 19 States , so how could Peter Obi had won?

IVORY2009:
He never came third, he actually won, Mr Tinubu came third rather.

If Obi won, why didn't he state the NUMBERS of votes he scored vis-a-vis the votes received by other candidates?

Kemadealadire:
For transparency sake, INEC should have uploaded the results immediately they were compiled, that was nobody will dispute the results but hmm, let me reserve the rest.

Even if INEC uploaded everything immediately, those who lost will still claim they were rigged out . Nigerians don't accept defeat ,in the spirit of sportsmanship.


Peter Obi and his supporters will still find reasons to claim they 'won' but was rigged out.

If you come to London, you will see children of Nigerian Millionaires doing Security Jobs at Tesco, Aldi, Lido or working as Careers in Old People's Care Home, where they pack shit.


In the UK, US and Canada, your 'Big Manism' ends at the Airport

Novarisammy2:
I can confidently tell you that nobody voted for APC in my unit even the so called ward party members

And only one lady, Cynthia Okonkwo wrote the results and signed for ALL political parties?

skj1377:
It was actually a very stupid argument. But honestly I strongly believe Peter obi won majority of votes cast in the last election. The issue is he had no structure and relied heavily on the integrity of INEC.

The election is based on LAWS and not what you believe.

Tell us the NUMBER of votes received by the Labour Party that put it ahead of all other polity parties.

simfrost90210:
After all the evidences that were brought before the court of appeal, this heartless woman opened her giggle hole to say that LP had no cogent evidence to corroborate their claims of winning the 2023 elections...

Come to think of it...... This is a mother and she gave birth to children or is it animals?
It's sad to say again, "There Was A Country!"

To show that Peter Obi won but was rigged out, his lawyers needed to show that;

1) Peter Obi's votes were higher than what INEC declared
Or
2) APC's votes which INEC declared was lower than Peter Obi's votes.


All the arguments of Obi's lawyers did NOT even mentioned anything like the NUMBERS of votes. Their Petitions were written by Kennethmovic Okoronkwo based on Social Media Propaganda Works of David Hundeyin

festacman:
An unnecessary banter from the high bench. She ought to just draw inferences on the strength of evidence and witness' testimonies in front of her and state her judgement.

NB: There is a difference between a banter and a simple admonishment that a plaintiff ought to have done better with provision of strong evidence and witnesses. This banter of hers means "when they go low, I go low too" and that's a bit childish coming from a bench of a temple of justice which has a "blind woman" as a symbol.

She was right to expressed her opinions or do you think it is appropriate to subject the Judges to threats on Social Media and cyber bullying but they should just keep quiet?

RockHard:
The truth is bitter but it needs to be heard. Igbos don't have the temperament to govern a large, complex and diverse country like Nigeria. The way they're going about and handling Obi's loss demonstrates clearly that an Igbo presidency would likely end in chaos and at worst a civil war (like it happened during Ironsi's short stint as head of state).

They just simply lack the emotional and political intelligence to be saddled with such weighty responsibility. I doubt a more embittered and toxic set of people exists anywhere. Personally, I'll rather Nigeria breaks up than live under an Igbo presidency. Make everybody go their separate ways abeg. Their level of toxicity is too damn much.

It is more of Peter Obi and the Obidients matter.

Wodu89:
EU gave over 130 Million Euros and has every right to make a white paper about the election

The Obi Legal Team seemed not to know their specific Mission; Is it to prove that Peter Obi won or to prove that the election was't perfect or that Tinubu should be disqualified?

The sole purpose of the TRIBUNAL is about the election but the LP team majored in minors

Beverlyjean:
Tinubu will not rule forever... yoruba will still step aside just like hausa did with buhari... who laughs last , laughs best .... when we enter.... we will pay back every coin we have received.... its just a matter of time

How did Peter Obi win?

Was Peter Obi's votes reduced or the votes of the APC inflated to become higher than Peter Obi's votes? If yes, in which Polling Units did thes occurred? Why didn't Obi's Legal Team calculate and tally the results from each polling units in areas where they think these occurred and bring the results to the court instead of threatening and bullying everybody on Social Media?

The truth is that the Labour Part performed poorly in Kano, Katsina, Oyo, Borno, Sokoto, Jigawa, Bauchi, Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger, Yobe, Ondo, Gombe, Ogun, Ekiti ,Kogi and Osun States. These States have higher votes needed to win Presidential election
