Why is he now dressing like he's most holier than every other person

Aregbesola was obviously a street boy back in the days

The picture wasn't 1999 but about 5-7 years earlier.

By 1999, Aregbesola was a bit older and looked more mature than this.

He has earlier ran for House of Reps primaries under the defunct SDP in 1991 but lost.

Berrityga:
Hookup gone wrong

Why are you people so heartless!

Is this all you could say?


Even if she was doing hook-up, was that enough reason to end her life like this?


Hook-up ladies are some people's daughters, sisters, wives or mothers. . .what we need is to reform them,not kill them

HisSexcellency:
The over concentration of political and social commentators and analysts on the petition at the tribunal of Peter Obi who came third in the presidential elections, while leaving Atiku of the pdp who came second and is also challenging that same election at the tribunal is just strange.

On a normal Atiku is meant to get all the attention as he is perceived more threat to the apc victory having come second according to the results declared by inec.

Obi's supporters are the most vocal set of people in Nigeria...the vocal minority.

PoliticalUpdate:
All these evidences coming out - including Tinubu being sick was prophesied by this prophet on the 4th of March, and from the things he said - 13th of May, will be a show of shame especially for INEC. According to him, INEC was dumbfounded on the many allegations against them including bribery in millions of dollars. He also spoke about a vision he had were a particular result sheet with so much discrepancies implicated INEC. This was in the month of March, and then in April the Rivers State result sheet came out with so much discrepancy. According to him, the election was decided based result sheets from INEC, and bribery not the popularly acclaimed drug case.

The election was conducted in over 170,000 polling units.

If the Tribunal was shown EVIDENCE of infractions in certain POLLING UNITS, they will annul the results in such units but not the whole 170,000 units.

Female nurses for female patients.

Male nurses for male patients.

Where did you see this wrong notion? How will a female nurse know about health problems of males if she is not exposed to male patients?

DaddyJapan:
Here is an excerpt from Punch newspaper (March 23rd).



Whether or not Mr Maduekwe had an underlining medical condition, the trigger for his untimely death was the home-invasion he experienced.

So it was no longer that APC thugs hit him at the back of his head as alleged by Chinedu alias Gbarebo?

Chimok:
This unity I believe is causing us more harm than good.
Just like some of the people that voted for Tinubu on tribal considerations and sentiments, would any of these people who owns a company employ a Tinubu to manage the company. Our people says 'ewu ora n'enye nli n'anwu n'aguu', the goat fed by the public dies of hunger'.

Yorubas voted for APC,PDP and LP.


Igbos voted mainly for LP.



You still won't allow the Yorubas rest because your kinsman didn't win?

By the way, Tinubu has better track records of achievements than his co-contestants

Father0fjesus:
war will be inevitable is things dont change

The war will be inevitable in your State/Geo-political zone.


You obviously didn't learn any lesson from the last Civil War in Nigeria.

Lemos14:
Why abuja? He should go to the slum called lagos that he built.

You go wail tire o

You wrote out of ignorance.


Most Nigerian States are NOT performing to their capacities because of the erroneous mindsets that State Governors have little roles to play in the economic development of the country.

Some States that derive substantial funds from crude oil may seem relatively developing.

However, over all S/West States are developing. They are not tapping the advantages of proximity to Lagos but this is not due to the fault of Lagos

You didn't talk about ASUU strikes in this write-up.

If after paying N500,000 tuition fees in LAUTECH or ABSU or UNABUJA and the school decided to go on strike for 6 months, will people still want to go to such schools?



What then will be the differences between Public and Private Universities if both charge the same range of Tuition fees (there are some private Universities that charge far lesser at about #300K per annum)?

1) INEC did the right thing, it has no power to disqualify candidates.

2) Your allegations against Tinubu have no basis in law.

* He was never arrested,tried and convicted for anything.

Even if a man was truly convicted for a crime, the punishment for the crime is NOT for life unless if it is a life sentence.

The punishment expires after he serves his prison sentence.

The law recognize that people do change for better after being punished e.g many people renew their Driver's license promptly after they once suffer arrest & fine by FRSC, some people become very law abiding after they spend some days in Police custody for infractions with the law.


In our laws,the constitution stipulate another waiting period of TEN YEARS (so acertain that he has truly changed).

3) INEC work round the clock and do announce results once they are ready.

This is obviously another fake news

Nigerfine3:
The yorubas was once leading academically, the others have long overtaken them.Go check the last WAEC performance, the best of yoruba land was Lagos state at number 23!
The north central grabbed a spot before them, all SE had picked their spot! WOW
The yorubas are not advising themselves but rather making noise building more agberos. I am igbo of middle age, thanks to our children and youth who has used internet to change the narrative which yoruba media had used against the igbos. Let them continue advising and producing agbero while others have gone past them. Igbos would double up in all front. Know it that whenever South South wakes up completely they would get a well functional sea port that would birth a greater South South South East.

Yorubas are leading in

*Most major profession, including Medical Profession (Check the register of Medical & Dental Council of Nigeria), Accounting (check ICAN) etc

* Journalism: both print & electronic

* Poultry and Poultry products
* Cocoa production
* Timber and wood production
* Pentecostal Christian Churches

* Diaspora: check the population of Nigerians studying in UK,US, Canada, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Sweden,South Africa etc


And many other areas of Human Endeavours.

Story story..........

Buhari banned people in government from get diplomatic passports from foreign countries since 2015. How did BAT get his in 2019? Besides, a close look at the so called Diplomatic passport has Tinubu’s citizenship as Guinean.

You don't need to be a citizen to hold Diplomatic Passport.

Citizenship is specified on passports ,rather Nationality which reflect the Sovereign Country issuing the passport for the holder as her representative in case of Diplomatic Passport Holder. It means the holder is representing the Government at that point in time.

chigator2:
Yoruba always trying to defend their criminals.

That is why the current Osun speaker of assembly that was caught bathing naked 3 years ago at the market square, was promoted to his current position.

Talk about the Ogun state ex-convict governor and many other criminal elite that our sophisticated people are ready to die for, as long as he shares a chicken scratched face with them.

It baffles me

Your hatred for someone does NOT necessarily mean the position of the law but most of you are too emotional to understand this simple fact.

Obinoscopy:
Diplomatic Passport for a honorary citizen? That would be strange but let's see. I'm sure more details will be revealed soon.

The Late Chief Dehinde Fernandez was Ambassador of Angola and Mozambique with Diplomatic Passports of these countries and also that of Central African Republic. He wasn't a citizen of any of these countries.

Diezani Allison-Madueke holds Diplomatic Passport of Dominican Republic and She isn't a Dominican citizen.

Obinoscopy:
Even if he renounces his guinean citizenship, are you comfortable being governed by someone who was once loyal to an external government? This is not to talk about the perjurious dishonesty when he was filling the INEC form. As a Nigerian we need to be worried about Tinubu’s loyalty. Even his tribe should be worried about his origin and loyalty.

1) You don't need to become a Citizen to get Diplomatic Passport of the country.

2) You only need to be elected according to the law to be president. It doesn't matter if Tijani, Uche, Essen or Umar aren't comfortable with you.

seunmsg:
All public servants are expected to declare their public assets and update it every four years.

I am surprised that many of these so-called OBIdients don't know anything about the laws of Nigeria but like to abuse everybody not supporting their views, even if such views have no basis in the Laws of the Country.

N3TRAL:
The court held in the case of GEORGE v. DOMINION FLOUR MILLS LTD that pleadings are essential to prevent parties from springing surprises.
If LP brings up the dual citizenship matter that they didn't plead in their petition in court, it would be springing surprises and the court will not allow it.

In the cases of IFEAJUNA V IFEAJUNA; BALOGUN V ADEJOBI the court held that pleadings enable the court to ascertain if it has jurisdiction on a matter or not. In that case, the court also ruled that the court can only determine the issue between the parties through their pleadings.

APC already filed a preliminary objection and the dual citizenship was not pleaded by LP. LP cannot bring it up later.

In OKOYE v. NWANKWO, the court held that pleadings guides a party in denying or accepting the claims of an opponent.
LP did not set out the issue of dual citizenship in their pleadings and thus it is against the doctrine of fair hearing to raise it in court without giving the APC notice to include it in their reply to the petition.

Now, Paragraph 14 of the First Schedule to the Electoral Act 2022 ( Rule 14 of the Rules of Procedure for Election Petitions) provides that:



"""
14. (1) Subject to subparagraph (2), the provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules relating to amendment of pleadings shall apply in relation to an election petition or a reply to the election petition as if for the words “any proceedings” in those provisions, there were substituted the words,”the election petition or reply”.

(2) After the expiration of the time limited by—
(a) Section 132 (7) of this Act for presenting the election petition, no amendment shall be made—
(i) introducing any of the requirements of paragraph 4 (1) not contained in the original election petition filed, or
(ii) effecting a substantial alteration of the ground for, or the prayer in, the election petition, or
(iii) except anything which may be done under subparagraph

(2) (a) (ii), effecting a substantial alteration of or addition to, the statement of facts relied on to support the ground for, or sustain the prayer in the election petition; and

(b) paragraph 12 for filing the reply, no amendment shall be made—

(i) alleging that the claim of the seat or office by the petitioner is incorrect or false, or

(ii) except anything which may be done under the provisions of subparagraph (2) (a) (ii), effecting any substantial alteration in or addition to the admissions or the denials contained in the original reply filed, or to the facts set out in the reply.

"""


It therefore follows that for LP to raise the issue of Dual citizenship in court, the particular fact of dual citizenship should be pleaded in their petition.

However, the window has closed for the amendment of pleadings so they cannot raise it in court as it would mean springing surprises on the APC and Tinubu which is not tolerated during hearing.


NB: I honestly don't like doing these things. Really a busy individual, reply me based on points of law not emotions abeg.

OBIdients will start abusing you soon or start saying that you are supporting correct system or that you have been paid.

Drone17:
New evidences to buttress ones petition can be introduced in the second rebuttal.

What cannot be added are the prayers to the court.

For example, if LP said the elections should be canceled. That's a prayer to the court. The evidences can be several such as it was rigged, the candidates were not qualified, double nomination, dual citizenship etc.

The prayers of Labour party have been stated with the reasons.
Only evidence (s) to support the reasons will be presented.

wiseone28:
All this una Peter Obi this Peter Obi that is getting stale everyday..


Why did Fashola, Ambode, and the current governor continue to built road after Tinubu left?

But that Ifite-UniZik road was one of the much touted achievements of Peter Obi and by 2015, within months after leaving office the road had deteriorated.


Truth: Peter Obi may be frugal with management of money but he didn't achieved anything spectacular as his supporters are branding him as the next best thing to happen to Nigeria after slice bread.

PoliticalUpdate:
An Edo criminal should not interprete the constitution for us. The same man that tried to steal someone else's mandate - in the person of Adams Aliyu Oshoimole. Simple use of English would have interpreted the simple meaning of the conjunction "And" - meaning inclusive. To argue such is to try to sound foolish. The word "And" points to the fact that there is a special clause attached.
The capital of the federation is the melting pot of all local ethnicities in the federation. To get 2/3 in other states invariably means you will score 2/3 of the FCT; which is made up of all tribes. Every past president who scored majority of the votes during past elections all won the FCT. Many are trying to overlook the relevance of the FCT - which is an indicator to know if you were accepted by all quarters of the nation. To score 2/3 of states means a larger part of the populace wants you to rule them - that was the reason for the directive. So, if you didn't win Abuja, it means your votes were inflated or, a lie. This is actually Tinubu's greatest kryptonite, and the APC are trying to overlook it. If you didn't rig your way in then you would have won Abuja. I am for Justice not a party. Tinubu just came in at a wrong time, and he should have been advised against it, but FF Kolanut and co, are busy stealing his money - the same persons who have accussed him in the past.

Where did you get this funny idea from?

Not all tribes are in the FCT...it is just the seat of the Federal Government.
All votes are equal.

Afamsi:
Illiterate prof kindly tell us why federal capital was mentioned in that rule since it is included in the 2/3 of the states of the federation. Why was your state not mentioned. Does this dullard know the purpose of ' AND ' in a sentence? I feel that he bought that professorial degree. This man ought to be a primary school teacher.

Nigeria has 36 States and 1FCT.

36 States and the FCT (taken together) = Nigeria

ganisucks:
All the election riggers have united in support of Baba blue, the father of election rigging.

This guy's interpretation is really funny.

Make APC dey play. Let them not go and start preparing for rerun, like their internal memos have suggested. Let them continue petting Baba blue.
When Tribunal sacks them, them go dey alright.

This Distinguished Professor of Law, Two Term Law maker and a Fmr Governor is far more knowledgeable about the Constitution than you.

Arrewa:
The term middle belt to them is area with large population of Christans... That why they even have the chicken mind to add Gombe and bauchi...

Why are these guys obsess with northern Nigeria for God sake??

However... Let's me educate some of you, especially the Igbos because they're the number one people who are tirelessly pushing this agenda... And we know they will always fail!! as usual

The only people in the north that to an extent share that middle belt sentiment with you in the whole of northern Nigeria are the Christian part of plateau that is because of their rivalry with their plateau Hausa/Fulani Muslims and Benue state, the only State in the north central with over 90% Christian population!!

But you see Niger, Nasarawa,Kaduna, taraba and other states in the north you added into that middle rope narrative that is driven by religiously bigotry has failed before arrival!!

The north remain the most united region in Nigeria!!
Yes not every northerner is a Hausa/Fulani... We have kanuri,kanakuri,Babur,Hausa,nupe,gwari,Fulani, bande, shuwa Arabs and hundreds of tribes in the northern Nigeria!!

Among all these tribes in the north... Some of these tribes have Christian population among them!!!


Yet Arewa have been politically and linguistically united!!!

Majority of the northern tribes adopt Hausa as a general language!!!
Most even answer Hausa name including the indigenous Christian people of plateau.
They have names like Dauda,murna,ayuba,ishiaku, bako, Gambo, and many Hausa related names!!

Then why will someone from Aba be shouting middle belt is not north??

Why are these people who are deeply divided in their own enclave... Be putting so much energy in tying to divide the great north??

Is this jealousy or a kind of mental disorder??


Take good look at what they're calling middle belt...

All these are unnecessary, even brothers fight.



What the North, like the rest of Nigeria need is JUSTICE in which all citizens will be treated equally in allocations of resources (including land, means of production) and equality before the law.

David Hundeyin is NOT a Zombidiot as someone here claimed but he is riding on the wave of the OBIdients Movement into fame and of course, financial rewards that can be achieved from such fame.

onumadu:
Did the runner up get 25% in Abuja?

Where did you see this in the Constitution?

onumadu:
APC is a satanic party that can never win elections without rigging.
This party will totally destroy Nigeria if allowed to rule for another year.
When our army was good, they would have intervened and jailed all APC politicians.
That party will destroy Nigeria if not stopped.

Most of the present problems facing Nigeria were created during the Military rule.
Within a short time that they intervened ,the Military plunged the country into a senseless civil war which still have reverberating consequences till today and I am surprised that people whose region were worse hit by prolonged Military Rule are now calling for Military Rule because their kins man didn't win.

IVORY2009:
You lie Baba, this time we would make Tinubus govt ungovernable

If you do anyhow and Python start dancing in your ancestral compounds, don't come and be disturbing us here o

Dreambeat:
The question is, if there is a rerun, how do we stop APC from rigging it, because APC will surely attempt to rig it

Most of the supporters of Peter Obi don't read.
On what basis do they organize re-run and who is eligible to participate?

Re-run is only possible if;

* None of the candidate have 25% in at least 25 States in which a re-run election throughout the country will be done.



Supplementary Re-run election: This only happens if


* Cancelled votes between Num-1 and Num-2 is higher than the registered voters in the POLLING UNITS that were cancelled and it will only take place in the affected polling units between Num-1 and Num-2.



In conclusion: there is no hope for Peter Obi in the Tribunal.
