Ahead of the 2027 election in Nigeria, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has justified the removal of mandatory electronic transmission of results from the amended Electoral Act.


DAILY POST reports that the Senate had last week removed mandatory e-transmission of election results from the legislation.

The Senate’s decision sparked controversy across the country with Nigerians, including opposition parties and the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, urging the lawmakers to reverse the decision.


Responding to the controversy during the launch of a book by former senator, Effiong Bob, titled ‘The Burdens of Legislators in Nigeria’, Akpabio blasted the critics, noting that it is the responsibility of the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, to determine the modality of elections.

While justifying the decision of the Senate, Akpabio noted that there is no network in nine states among the 36 states in Nigeria, due to insecurity.


He further asked Nigerians to direct their grievance to INEC, stating that the agency is responsible for deployment of technology.

Akpabio said, “Real-time transmission means that in over nine states where networks are not working because of insecurity, there will be no election results. Nationally, it means that if the national grid collapses and no network is working, no election results will be valid.

“But you see them talking. We even have a young man from Akwa Ibom who is publicity secretary to one of the parties. When you see him talking you will think he knows it all.


“He doesn’t know anything about lawmaking, and he would talk and talk and talk. But what can I say? I can’t answer. The Senate does not conduct elections, we don’t deploy technology, we only make laws. And INEC must apply the law.

“The timing scoop and modality rests with INEC, acting within the framework of the law enacted by the parliament and interpreted by the Supreme Court.”

It's not right, I know.
Appeal Court is withholding deliberately, they have the Courts nah.

Rivers State issue took roughly 7 months to get to the Supreme Court but the Appeal hasn't even been slated for hearing..... 😂

Then you have a Judge in Ibadan, granting a relief that was never sought for... 😂

We are officially getting to a mafia state.but we have been here before.

It has never been this worse

This is becoming too dangerous and the worse part is that it's creating monsters and very arrogant breed of politicians.
The appeal court has no reasons to be silent on this .
A matter is before then , a very important matter yet to hey feign ignorant.

If gej had used court order he was Tinubu and APC uses court, Tinubu would v been off politics a long time ago, oshomole wouldn't v been edo state governor and states in South west wouldn't be able to fall to the then opposition party like like ACN


It's crazy .

The annoying thing is that these people are perfecting their evil hold on power . And are wants to completely kill opposition and remain in power transition ally forever ,handing over to their children and kind

Time to buy if u know u know

Who told you Niger Delta states are funding the project?

Did you even read the article?

Honestly, some of you are so weird on this forum.

The reason China could give such loan is because of the buying power of Nigerian economy powdered by oil and gas from Niger Delta so keep shut

You don't get brother, things have changed but God can't change

Did Adam pray for eve?

Nowadays if you want to get a wife, after praying you check other qualities too

Examine the Isaac - Rebekah or Jacob scenerio

Thanks

If you pray , God will answer and show you your wife .
If u sample lots of names and ask God,God will show you the one out of the names that is your wife . Stop contradicting yourself

AI Review of Project

............

Nigeria is currently advancing plans for an ambitious $60 billion high-speed rail (bullet train) project, developed in partnership with Chinese financiers and local firm De-Sadel Nigeria Limited.

Key Project Details

Total Scope: A 4,000 km network connecting major economic hubs across Nigeria.

Speed: Trains are designed for commercial speeds of 250–300 km/h, significantly cutting travel times (e.g., Lagos to Abuja in under 3 hours).

Financing: The project is primarily backed by China Liancai Petroleum Investment Holdings and the Asian Development Investment Bank.

A $60 billion "proof of funds" was formally presented to the Nigerian government in August 2025.

Power Source: Uniquely, the system is planned to be powered by Nigeria’s vast natural gas reserves, requiring an integrated gas infrastructure to provide stable energy for the electrified lines.

Phased Construction Plan

The government and De-Sadel Consortium have structured the project in three main stages:

Phase 1 (Western): Connecting Lagos – Ibadan – Ilorin (approx. 700 km), with initial sections expected to open within 3 years of commencement.

Phase 2 (Central): Linking Ilorin – Abuja – Makurdi (1,500 km).

Phase 3 (Eastern): Extending from Makurdi – Enugu – Port Harcourt (800 km), integrating with key maritime ports.


Current Status

As of late 2025, the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) has approved the Outline Business Case, with approximately 90% of the required regulatory approvals completed. Full construction is tentatively aimed to begin by February 2026, pending final environmental and technical clearances.

Why should Niger Delta states that are producing the money be left out in the project .
That 3rd won't be funded .
Just like other similar projects are not funded once they finish their South west and North .


Wicked people

The situation of garden of Eden is different from now ( after the fall ).

It doesn't change God
And God was not unaware it was going to happen that way except you are saying that God could see the fire before the fall

Amtasiu:
These are the candidates:
1) Atiku Abubakar
2) Datti Baba-Ahmed
3) Peter Obi
4) Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Please don't forget to tell why you prefer the candidate thanks.

Peter Obi remains the winner of the Nigerian presidential election since 2023
But Tinubu is trying as president too but Tinubu only problem is tribalism in his dealings with Niger Delta and IGBOS
Positions and appointments and jobs opportunities are usually given to Yoruba on this his government as if only Yoruba are in nigeria

He wants yorubas to take over everywhere which is bad


Same way he almost destroyed the army by trying to promote his ADC Yoruba brother to rank of general without minding how it would v destroyed Nigeria army completely

SpencerForbes:
The last time God actually handpicked a wife, Adam ended up blaming Him for the outcome. Since then, I don't think He’s been in the business of directly choosing spouses for people

Even the situation with Hosea and Gomer was more of a divine lesson than a "happily ever after" setup. Nowadays, He might give you signs or a bit of direction, but the final decision is 100% on you. You have to step up, use your head, and choose your own "poison" yourself.

So you mean after Adam and Eve God now changed His tactics?

So to you God is a changing God that does not know the end from the start?

Oh common



God has never changed
He is same God from ever lasting to ever lasting


God still chooses a wife for His beloveth through prayer s and revelations

sportblitsX:
Former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick has stated that the Super Eagles would have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup if he were still leading Nigerian football.

Speaking on Sunday Oliseh’s Global Football Insights show, Pinnick expressed deep disappointment that Nigeria has struggled in the qualifiers despite the tournament’s expanded format, which allows up to ten African teams to reach the finals in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

“With ten African teams qualifying, there is really no basis for Nigeria not to be among them,” Pinnick said.

2018 World Cup Qualification Recalled
The former NFF president referenced Nigeria’s impressive qualification for the 2018 World Cup, describing it as one of the most challenging groups in African football history.

“In 2018, we had the toughest group ever. If I were there, definitely, Nigeria would have qualified,” he stated.

Pinnick highlighted that Nigeria topped a group containing Algeria, Cameroon, and Zambia, all recent AFCON champions, and still qualified with two matches to spare.

“Nigeria was the least considered, but we qualified and we didn’t sleep,” he added.

Reflection on 2022 World Cup Exit
Pinnick also revisited Nigeria’s painful exit from the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, where the Super Eagles were eliminated by Ghana on the away-goals rule.

“We didn’t lose that tie; we were eliminated on away goals,” he said, stressing that the margin was extremely slim.

A Missed Opportunity
Pinnick’s comments underline what many Nigerian football fans see as a missed opportunity, especially with Africa enjoying its largest-ever World Cup representation.

As the Super Eagles continue their qualification campaign, his remarks have reignited debate over leadership, planning, and execution within Nigerian football administration.

Just cannot remember the name of the former minister under Jonathan that owns the company?

A good mild mannered Yankee trained engineer, always calm & well spoken, unfortunately the Pdp tried their best to frustrate him.

Is Prof. Barth Nnajibstill not alive?

What has APC done to improve on power supply ? Nothing!! Only to share TSN among themselves and increase power and electricity bill to steal more money.
Can nepotism and tribalism allow APC take him as the minister of power?!
No

Wike is threatening to pull down the stadium when next they deny him the access to the stadium...

He will bark as usual.

After which, he will run to media to say fubara burnt down the stadium
Just as him and his assembly boys burnt down the assembly complex and ran to media to say it was fubara

But no be by force to drag ur self give who no even rate u

Tinubu no rate or even send wike,na wike just dey force himself.

Fubara is the leader of APC in the state and will work and deliver for Tinubu and any wuru wuru interference from wike will be stopped

The said venue is under renovation even

They have been delaying the verdict of the Appeal Court on Omotosho's judgement since November.

So what effect will this judgement have on the verdict and the PDP?

fergie001:
Background:

Turaki had approached a Federal High Court for an order of mandamus compelling the court to recognise its leadership. Justice Nma Agomuo held that Justices Omotosho & Lifu had ruled on issues about the propriety or otherwise of the National Convention hence she cannot sit on appeal on a Court of coordinate jurisdiction.

She held that since the tenure of the Damagum-led PDP had expired, the Party can only work with a Caretaker Committee.

This is just so smelly
What kind of judge is this?

What is the forecast because this judgement can't stand

If not for Tinubu, this id.iota would v been without a job s long time ago .
U r relying on federal might to super impose yourself on fubara
Fubara that dealt with you with his Simplified Sim movement winning all the state LGA
And Wike's promise of giving martins his ikwerre brother governor through back door.
Now that Tinubu has left u , fubara is now in APC and the leader of the party, u r running around seeking for dialogue so you can negotiate 2027,
APC had their Congress in Rivers d state but wike and the spc chairman working against fubara was not even aware .

Fubara is naturally ahead , control the 27 rascals you call assembly members but know they are not coming back there again.
So how far with the impeachment?
Has fubara not killed it ?
Now you are looking for negotiation

U go wait tayad!!

U never start to dey run around.
As u v been warned , u now resulted in using media aid to talk looking for negotiations

U r expired and nobody need your type in national politics.
U can't force ur self on people

Nobody likes you

Anything that has to do with ward/LGA/State delegate elections are National responsiblities across all parties.

They only inform the State to put logistics in order, however, in Rivers, Okocha wasn't involved. The representatives, Shehu Dange and one other man sent from Abuja simply came to PH, praised the Governor as leader of the Party and went to do their business.

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has been granted honorary citizenship of Georgia, a state in the United States.


Kanu is currently serving a life prison sentence at the Sokoto Prison after he was convicted on terrorism charges filed against him by the Nigerian government.

Kanu was declared an ‘Honorary Georgia Citizen’ by Secretary of the State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, in a proclamation dated January 16, 2026.


The proclamation also declared that the IPOB leader should be recognized as a Goodwill Ambassador from Georgia.

A former Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Uche Ajulu, received the proclamation from Raffensperger
on behalf of Kanu in Georgia, US, on Friday.


The proclamation reads, “I, Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim Nnamdi Okwu Kanu as an Honorary Georgia Citizen.

“May this Outstanding Citizen be accorded every courtesy as a Goodwill Ambassador from Georgia in his travels to other states, to nations beyond the borders of the United States of America, or wherever he may hereafter travel or reside. Thank you for your service to our state.

“In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of my office, at the State Capitol, in the City of Atlanta, this 16th day of January, A.D. 2026

Let me see the impact Bwala will add to Tinubu's re-election. They should keep basking in this euphoria. Once Tinubu loses the election, Bwala will be the first to vanish. Also, nobody is holding the governor. He is violating the constitution and getting the consequences. The governor is only the head of the executive branch, we have three branches of government.

So wike is now working hard against Tinubu reelection
