PoliticsTinubu Government Plans To Charge 7.5% VAT On Every Litre Of Fuel? by Penguin2(op): 4:10pm On Jun 18, 2023
This Twitter user claims that Tinubu-led Federal government is planning to impose 7.5% VAT on every litre of fuel consumed in Nigeria.

But I’m supposing it’s only Obidients that will pay it sha.

If you are a Tinubu supporter, just enter any filling station and shout “BATified” and they will remove the VAT for you😜.

“May 7.5% VAT on fuel favour me and my family.”😔

Muslims average turnout is higher than christians if you compare christian and Muslim areas.even in plateau and taraba,those Muslim areas produce high votes.
There is no dominant religion in nasarawa,it is like kogi and adamawa maybe christians edge out slightly.
Oga,all these denomination excuse cannot fly.nasarawa is not the only states with pentecostal and Catholics,it is everywhere.for one religion to dominate completely shows they are more numerous.the accreditation data from bvas is almost same as the votes from Lafia so I wonder the rigging came from.
You know what?

Let’s leave the courts to settle this.

No na.i said yewa awori people of Ogun west that has never tested power obviously voted dapo.dapo is Remo,gbenga Daniels was Remo..they have enjoyed power.
Sule lga is christian dominated.christians voted Dave,Muslims went with sule,you know who usually wins these battles.
Everywhere was rigged actually,we are looking at where rigging changed the true results.at least the Enugu rigging is clear as daylight..

For Kaduna,lp divided southern kaduna with pdp.apc even won two lgas in the south.the rural areas of Kaduna north was divided.apc highest votes were from igabi,kad north,south and Zaria lgas which are all urbanized so that rigging stuff is hard.kudan even struggled in his lga.hunkuyi his godfather contested under nnpp.ashiru was seen as a xtian candidate
Yeah!

I agree with you about Kaduna. Jonathan Asake really joined in causing PDP’s loss in Kaduna. If you add the over 76k votes he got to PDP, it would have been clear victory that APC wouldn’t have been able to rig. But even at that, I still believe Uba Sani’s victory is questionable.

But in Nasarawa, Christians constitute the majority of the people in the state. The only reason a Muslim has been ruling the state since 1999 is because the Christians have always divided themselves between Catholics and Pentecostals during elections which had always caused the splitting of Christian votes while the Muslims would always vote in one direction and help a Muslim win.

But in this 2023, Nasarawa Christians learnt their lesson, and that’s why the Labour Party candidate had to step down for Davematics just to make sure they don’t divide their votes which is why Sule had it tough and ended up rigging.

Don’t let party loyalty make you lie against your faith.

It doesn't take rocket science to know that I am an apc member na who still maintains a high degree of objectivity.
Turnout and votes in guber is always higher than assemblies na.i already explained that Lafia has two seats and gave close to 100k votes.i agree there was rigging but apc still won the state.you cannot lose your rural lga and still go and rig an urban capital.
I don't know your definition of rigging but for me,I mainstream rigging is covertly or overtly manipulating results without violence.what apc did in Lagos was to suppress votes,attack units,prevent voters,disrupt voting.they did this because it was difficult to change the results against obi obi eventually won.in Lafia,they won but simply jagged up numbers incase of rerun or numbers are deducted.i already gave many reasons about why apc won Lafia,it was not just about the obi angle alone.nasarawa has always been tight.pdp themselves have failed to bring evidence of rigging.when both ombugadu and maku were divided in 2019,an unknown sule still won them.

Let's go to ogun.for you to win an incumbent,you must be extremely popular.adebutu is not that popular just that dapo failure gave him hope plus his money and family name.you saw his vote buying scheme to apc too bought votes.his party was in crisis leading to election.this guy always contests but fails woefully.
Since apc or acn took power in ogun in 2011,they have dominated Ogun west and central while Ogun east goes pdp or they divide.even in 2015 and 2019 when gni and triple A from yewa contested,apc won.ogin west are preparing to grab power in 2027,so why should they vote another ijebu Remo man? The consensus is that yayi is the next gov so the rigging tale is illogical.
The SW is the most difficult place to rig,elections count there more than any other region.you saw how adeleke won and delivered atiku.they have recorded more electoral upsets and cancellations than any other region.
Dapo lost his ikenne lga and Remo land to pdp.where else would he have rigged? Dapo highest vote was from the heavily urbanized ota lga.Amosun the most popular man in ogun central worked against dapo yet he still won central.pdp major prayer self is that there should be supplementary polls.we would conclude with Kaduna once you reply and concede
Concede what?

You want me concede to your rationalization of APC’s atrocities? No. Not until the courts have said there was nothing wrong in places I have reservations. Even then, my reservations will still stand.

APC rigged the presidential election.
APC rigged Ogun.
APC rigged Nasarawa.
APC rigged Kaduna.
PDP rigged Enugu.

I know I told you one time that votes may have been inflated for Nwifuru to win in Ebonyi but he won his Local government. He won his senatorial zone.

But in the case of Sule, he lost his LGA.

Dapo Abiodun lost his LGA. You just stated that even the Remo people that you are suggesting want to succeed Dapo, voted Ladi. Doesn’t that make nonsense of that claim?

Why will it end when many Southerners, esp those in the SE will not join the Force. The last recruitment for Police, they were begging the SE to fill their slot, no way.

The SE has the smallest number yet nobody wants to join the Police. He has ability to stop it but will he join the Army himself?

During GEJ, he tried there however people have to be willing to massively enrol in the Force when they are needed.
Lol! It’s actually funny how both the army and police used to hawk their recruitments to the southeasterners yet nobody cares. Lol.

But you know why it is like that.

Since the beginning of insurgency in the Northeast, rumour has been rife that the military establishment recruits Igbos and push them to go fight Boko Haram. Now, the problem is not in pushing them to go fight Boko Haram (that’s what they signed up for after all), the problem is that some theatre commanders in the northeast will be supplying insurgents with intelligence on troops movements which exposes the troops to incessant massacre.

But while we were still thinking it was just rumours, we heard of a quelled mutiny at 82 Division Enugu when Igbo soldiers protested what they perceived was a sectional deployment of only Igbo soldiers to the war front in northeast while northerners are deployed to east to come intimidate our people.

Now, if you were a jobless Igbo guy, would you still go join the military with such tales? Except you want to commit suicide.

But trust me, if we have a leadership the Igbos can trust, you will see that the Igbos would have no problem joining the military in droves; and even the police.

Good,were getting somewhere.apc won Lafia with 65k.minus 14k,they still won.the only issue is that they overtigged just like ikpeazu did in obingwa.even with real votes,pdp still won obingwa.same thing happened in nkanu.lafia is an apc territory just like karu is pdp,they will always win.minus Lafia,pdp were leading with 4000.lowest apc can win in Lafia is 10,000 so they still won,just that it was an overkill.the governor lost his LGA dominated by Xtians,deputy lost his.i told you once that an incumbent strongest base is his lga or ward.once they lose they,it's difficult to rig in others.no matter what,hope delivers his lga or at least his ward omuma,rochas usually delivered ideato south as gov just as ikpeazu delivers obingwa and Kalu bende.ayade highest votes is from obudu,umahi own is ohaozar,adeleke holds ede south while aketi holds owo.oyetola biggest win was from boripe while makinde own is Ibadan ne.fintiri holds madagali well,udom held onna,akpabio held essien udim.cant you see how wike delivers obio akpor and Dickson delivers sagbama while sylva pushes brass? Obi cleared anioma except okowa lga.oshio holds etsako west heavily.obaseki lost his oredo and pdp lost all.ortom highest margin is from Guma just as akume dominates tarka.yahaya bello holds okene.bala Mohammed holds alkaleri and Darius delivers wukari.you want more examples? Once a gov loses his lga or home base, it's almost impossible for him to rig except he's popular outside.even El rufai does not lose zaria.nasarawa is an evenly divided state with both religions voting each other.

Once an incumbent loses his home base,they hardly win except his party is popular elsewhere or he is popular.that is what saved dapo and sule.if the people actually voted davematics,he would have won easily.nasarawa is a difficult terrain to rig esp an open and urbanized place like Lafia the capital.the worst places to rig is the urban areas or the state capitals.you know why.compare nasarawa terrain to zamfara where an incumbent can easily rig.why didn't matawalle rig? Why didn't tambuwal rig for his stooge? Atiku won katsina but pdp guber lost.without bvas and prof nnenna,obingwa would have stood as usual.eveb though Enugu stood,the rigging still showed as total accreditation in nkanu was less than votes.this things don't hide any more man..

You yourself said even though nwifuru rigged,he would still have won notwithstanding.same scenario happened in nasarawa.why didn't they rig out obi with a structureless party in nasarawa? If obi cannot be rigged,why would they rig a far stronger pdp? They would not have gotten up to 4 lgas
Lol!

You know you are enmeshed in politics that you know every politician’s LGA. I’m certain you are not just an observer. You are a deep participant in politics either as a consultant or an analyst kind of because wtf.

But with that said, I understand what you are trying to say that because Lafia is urban area therefore it’s not easy to rig but how do you explain the fact that accreditation figure for House of Assembly is different from the accreditation figure for Governorship election in same ward; for an election that was held same day and time?

Even though we may agree that rigging in urban areas is usually not as easy as it would be rigging in rural areas but it’s not impossible.

Lagos is a megapolis but Tinubu and APC still rigged scandalously.

And asking why Obi wasn’t rigged out in Nasarawa during the presidential election if rigging was possible is hypocritical.

It’s just like asking why Obi wasn’t rigged out in Lagos during the presidential election and using it to say that Sanwolu’s election was free, fair and credible even though we saw people being butchered and several others disenfranchised by making sure they did not go close to voting areas.

The legacy parties (APC and PDP) underrated the Obi wave during the presidential election and were caught off guard which is why they resorted to rigging scandalously like kindergartners just to stop Obi.

Now, the presidential election was an eye opener for them, that the Obi wave was real and they had to prepare and perfect their rigging plans for the guber elections. And the postponement afforded them all the time they needed to perfect their devilish plans.

So, that argument that because Obi was not rigged out in Nasarawa, therefore Sule did not rig is not logical and I hope the courts do justice.

It will be bad for the service especially now in times of insurgency when the Army needs all the experience she can get.

Ihejirika was a Maj-Gen before he was appointed. He was in the NA Engrg and at a time headed the 41 Div Engrg in KD.. He had a good rise too and was deservedly COAS. Infact the first soldier from the Engrg Section to be COAS. He is of RC18, the same set as the present Sultan of Sokoto.
Thank you for the clarification.

From the time of Jalo, Wushishi, IBB and co, the COAS are picked from the Maj-Gen. I remember IBB was COAS when Buhari was Head of State, he was Maj-Gen with Abacha, Nasko & co as Brig-Gen.

Ihejirika's father is a millionaire construction magnate (now late), and again the late Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu and Gen Ike Nwachukwu are from the same place as Ihejirika (Ovim in Isuikwuato LGA), so there is enough capacity.

He was removed for political expediency, the North didn't like him and they didn't hide it.
If there’s anybody that would end the northern stranglehold of the military, it would definitely be Tinubu.

I know it will be tough but somebody has got to do it and I think Tinubu will be the man.

Because the only reason you think Tinubu can’t comfortably appoint someone from the Southwest as COAS is because northerners dominate the military high ranks. This has got to end.

It's not about picking a COAS from your Zone, you have to pick someone that has control of the Army. Someone that has CAPACITY (in Asari Dokubo's voice)

The NW/NE have more people in the Army and they will breathe down on anyone who is not from their Zone. They frustrated Ihejirika out, his Petition was in the ICJ at some time.

No go rush pick your brother wey no get capacity, you will still become exposed. When he wanted re-election, he threw out Ihejirika, next he threw out his own brother, the late Azazi as NSA.

If your brother has a firm control in the Army, I mean entrenched fine, but if he isn't, there will be a revolt from within. Go and even check the names of Maj-Gens and co.... You will understand better grin, you need them for stability first before your eyes go reach ground.
Great points here. Never really looked at it from that angle.

But these things are usually systemic sha. If I look at the rank of the Major Generals and above, and they are dominated by people I’m not comfortable with especially after proper security checks on them, I would then choose from the rank of the Brigadier Generals and force out the Major Generals.

Remember that Ihejirika was appointed COAS from the Brig General rank. But I don’t think it was his lack of control/influence on the lower ranks to caused him his job.

You know that time the north was in bed with Boko Haram and was using it as a political tool. But Ihejirika was tough on Boko Haram which made some northerners start some stupid propaganda that “Jonathan the wanted to wipe out their region”.

When they persisted with that narrative, with Buhari even lending his voice at some point, Jonathan feared he might lose northern votes if Ihejirika continued. That’s why he had to sacrifice him. So, I don’t think it’s because Ihejirika didn’t have control of the Army.

The pressure Yar'Adua faced before he picked Onovo was too much, yet it was kidnapping in Abia that led to his sack.

I’m taking it for granted that the COAS is definitely going to SW. That’s what I will do too if I ever attain power.

CAS and CNS can be shared between the NW/NE and SS.

Like you said, the southeast might get the useless CDS or he’d concede IGP to them.

The reason I feel he’d more comfortable conceding IGP is because the IGP is not strong enough to cause any havoc. And if you feel he’s sabotaging internal security to sabotage your government, you can easily flush him out like shit in a toilet.

Good, someone who has two years from the 1990 set can be IGP so when he leaves, it's clear coast for Mba or his set. That was how the Okiro/Onovo saga played out.

Even though, he might eventually get it, give him sometime to gather some experience. He was promoted to CP in Dec 2020, he wasn't posted to anywhere (remained PPRO) till he went to NIPSS in Feb 2022, he graduated from NIPSS in Dec last year.

Buhari did not follow the Police Act when he picked Alkali. This present IGP had 2 years yet Buhari appointed him.

I believe it also played out when the former IGP Adamu (1986 set) left, by the Police Act it should have been between Inuwa, Danbappa and some others, but they were 90 set, in order not to wipe out that set, they picked someone from 88.

Personally, I don't want a disruption in the system, someone from 1990 is fine! I just think it's the right thing to do.

Again, it's up to Tinubu and what his inner circle thinks.... When Yar'Adua was to pick between Mike Okiro & Onovo, he did what he thought was best.
I’m surprised you are arguing for someone older than Mba in service to be picked as IGP so that the 1990 set don’t wiped out while Ihordspy is arguing that a younger officer be picked which might entail wiping out more than one set.

Meanwhile, didn’t both Mike Okiro and Ogbonnaya Onovo end up becoming IGPs?

The problem with you is that you think that because recent IGPs have come from the AIG rank therefore it’s now a pattern that cannot be broken.

But I’m trying to make you understand that it’s not even a convention that IGPs must come from AIGs.

I don’t know if it’s you or who that had explained it earlier that the reason most recent IGs were drawn from the AIG rank is because of the time they have left in service. So, if you had DIGs that all have about 2-3years left in service, you would rather go for an AIG that has about 4-5years left, for longevity of service.

Statutorily, an IGP can be appointed from the DIG or AIG ranks and I insist that becoming a DIG does not preclude one from becoming an IGP.

And you are still not seeing the political side to the reason why Mba might be IGP. That in the appointment of service chiefs, if something is going to be conceded to the southeast, it definitely would be the IGP position.

But you and I know nothing for sure. So, all we can do is speculate and wait.

paxonel:
It seems INEC chairman is deliberately trying to confuse Nigerians in order to delay justice at the tribunal and the court of public opinion, but here is the thing.

According to Daily tribune publication on 23rd February 2023 made reference by the INEC council, Ijeoma may not aware that Yakubu did announce that the commission will no longer transmit results from polling units in real time on the IReV, but he specifically said that the polling units have the mandate to use the BVAS to upload the results on INEC portal.

real time transmission of results on the IRev is one thing
Uploading results on INEC portal is another thing.

The idea was that, real time transmission during the collation of results at the national conference centre Abuju should be solely dependent on uploading results on the INEC portal,so that even if the INEC chairman is collecting paper or printed forms from state levels to announce the winner, the figures will have to tally or correspond with what was being uploaded or transmitted and there wouldn't have been any argument at all.

The least INEC would have done was to upload the results on it portal through the BVAS if they could not transmit, so that Nigerians will atleast view the results using their android phones and compare them with what was being announced.

But INEC did not upload, neither did they transmit on that collation day. Rather, they resolved to some cooked fraudulent paper sheets brought from state levels
First, results upload is a statutory requirement of the Electoral Act 2022. What this means is that INEC cannot choose not to upload.

Now, the only thing INEC defenders always hinge on to defend INEC’s failure to upload results is that a section of the Electoral Act empowers INEC to determine how it would conduct elections.

But the question is, does INEC have powers to denigrate a statutory provision of the law in exercising whatsoever powers they feel the law gives them?

With that said, it is imperative to state that what Mahmoud Yakubu said in the publication you are referring to is that INEC will not upload raw figures but “snap” form EC8A with BVAS machine and upload from polling units. He never said they were no longer going to upload results in “real time”.

PoliticsLagos To Demolish 17 ‘distressed’ Buildings At Alaba Market. by Penguin2(op): 5:39am On Jun 17, 2023
Lol! They’ve started …
The Lagos government says it will demolish 17 “distressed” buildings being used for commercial purposes within the Alaba international market in Ojo LGA of the state.

Gbolahan Oki, general manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), announced the planned demolition during an assessment visit to the market, on Friday.

Oki said the visit offered the agency the opportunity to issue final warnings to occupants of the buildings marked for demolition.

The general manager said some of the buildings had been marked with quit notice since 2016, adding that occupants usually harass officials of the agency whenever they want to carry out their duties.

“These buildings marked within this Alaba international market would have been included in the list of 349 distressed buildings earlier published in different national newspapers this year,” he was quoted in a statement by Adetayo Akitoye-Asagba, the agency’s assistant director of public affairs.

“But because the occupants were always harassing our officers, it was impossible to capture the details of the structures and include them in the publication.

“What we have done now is a joint exercise carried out by both the Lagos Task Force officers and the demolition gang of Lagos State Building Control Agency. The buildings will be demolished.

“We know that this area is a commercial centre and one of the busiest markets in Lagos state.

“We cannot fold our arms and allow irregularities to continue to thrive in the market where lives of innocent persons would be put at risk because of the failure of a few sets of individuals who have refused to do the needful.”

In March, the Lagos government released a publication showing the locations of 349 “distressed” buildings in the state.

Tinubu obviously wants to run a government of criminals by criminals and for criminals.

If not, what would a fat pig tout be doing in the presidential villa not to talk of using the presidential press room to lay allegations against the military.

I thought Tinubu was a strategic man? This lacks tact.

I don’t know the game that Tinubu wants to play but he’s venturing into troubled waters.

How can you bring a tout to come and lay allegations against your military men?

You gave this fat pig tout the presidential press room to address the world.

What a shame!

Government of the criminals by the criminals and for the criminals.

Where did Mahmoud Yakub state that BVAS is a camera?
This is your Tribune of February 23rd, 2023.

Read the encircled. Abi you no trust the report you are using as your defense again?

Remember our keywords from the report:

1) Mandate: This means it’s mandatory, and not optional, it’s not at their discretion, for polling unit officers to upload results of their polling unit to the IREV.

2) Snap: Your argument above is that he did not use the word “snap”, but I’ve just showed you that he used those exact words.

What’s your defense again?

See, the courts would have to throw our constitution and the Electoral Act into the lagoon before they will retain Tinubu on seat.

Many news outlets have the news and made it public on February 23rd, 2023 when INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakub stated that they will not be transmitting results. Check the news sources below to read the details yourself

Don’t be dubious.

Why did you take screenshot of only the side that suited your narrative and left out what the INEC chairman truly meant?

What he was saying in that publication, which is what the commission has always said, is that polling unit agents will not type figures into the BVAS machine and upload.

That what INEC agents would do is to use the BVAS machine to take snapshot of the polling unit result and upload same to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IREV)

See, you and your BAT have no way of escaping this.

Like Aisha Yesufu said, the aim is not trust the Judiciary but to overwhelm her with evidence until they have no choice than to boot the mandate thief out.

Two mistakes.

Firstly. In the DIG rank. Mba has many seniors ahead of him. so making Mba IGP will automatically retire those guys. So him staying as AIG before appointment as IG and him being a DIG before appointment is still same. Lot of DiGs will retire. The only thing that can save Mba too is if he is appointed as IG. Anything other than that is retirement in few weeks for him.

Secondly. It is not a must for Tinubu to appoint an easterner as service chief. He owes nobody anything. It is by choice.
I did state that Tinubu owes the Southeast nothing, didn’t I? After all he promised to continue where Buhari stopped.
