Dear Jagaban lovers,

What is the progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda he promised Nigerians in 2023? This is over one year now. How far?

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

What about the 50 million jobs promised between 2023 to 2026? How many has Tinubu and his government created?

Nothing but you can also go to court for promised made but unfulfilled.

Jostoman:
that is when the judiciary still dey function not all these do as i say Judges we have now

The way obi supporters dey reason eh

ObosiLandlord:
Obi went to court and won

That was then when there was little sanity

owunabastard:

There's more sanity now than back then. You must be a kid who didn't witness the elections in 2003 and 2007

In 2007, INEC was announcing results while people were still voting in some states. Till today, INEC has not release the full result of that year presidential election. Our election is getting better.

Jostoman:
Once APC rigged you out and tell you to go to court just forget it.

Adeleke won through the court. Another recent one.

Going to court is the most peaceful way to resolve matters. Nigerians should quit being bad losers. There can be only one winner at a time.

Elections are not a one-time event; they occur every four years, and there will always be opportunities for losers in one election to be winners in the next elections. Those who lost the elections in Edo won four years ago and vice versa. Nigerians should stop being childish

So where else ?

Nigeria is a country run on systems of patronage. If one system loses out, a lot of people from the rich to the poor can lose a lot of money and livelihood.

Tell me, if you were a republican in the USA, and Kamala won the coming election, would you lose your job and means of livelihood? You probably might do so if you post online on social media, a post under your real name name declaiming that Kamala likes to drink the blood of little children, but otherwise nothing is going to happen to you.

IN NIgeria, a president losing election means that members of his tribe and allied tribes no longer have access to jobs, access to contracts, access to appointments, etc etc...and the same thing goes for allied religions and so on, and it extends to thousands of people. That's why in 2011, millions of Northerners went mad with anger, and attacked people for nothing. It is why we have IPOB/UGM Bombing stuff, and why we suddenly have an upsurge in Yoruba nationalists all over the place. ELections in Nigeria mean trickle down benefits. For many people. It does not work that way in saner climes.

That is why I make the argument that we have to develop an industrial economy that exports...because if we do that, there would be more and more jobs than we can think of. Thus no one need fear losing out in any election. But we are a poor country, and as a result the livelihoods of millions of people depend on who wins elections. It was the same in the USA...right up till the USA became an industrial nation and less of a rural agrarian nation. Result...it gradually stopped mattering who won elections...plus as more people became urbanized, the politicans realized that if they wanted to keep the gravy train rolling, they better provide good services to the populace, and to the businesses and industries that their govt relied on for more money.

That is why many politicans go to court...even when they know they lost, and why people engage in conspiracy theories about elections in this country. The edo election was probably not rigged, yet people say it was because at the end, people have to eat, and if eating is jeopardised because your party lost, you are not going to be essentially saying the election was free and fair, and see you in four years time...lol.

I honestly don't have a solution.

So o, edo don turn Lagos laslas ?

He won on ballots first

So? Others too won on ballot. What is your point?

CyrusVI:


Okay no go court. Go pay thugs to go attack them

You guys keep finding faults in ever
If they had threatened you after the victory, you would have attached it to something superstitious or even fake some silly attacks to have a go at them



I never knew "Go to Court" could be twisted this way

May all the calamities you do defend befall you and your entire family members.

Cry us a river. Isn't it this same court that affirm Oshiomhole as governor, when his election was rigged by the PDP? If you have your facts and proof, going to court isn't something you should be afraid of, it's something you should look forward to, because facts don't lie. Lol

If you win on ballot and inec announces you as winner, the court hardly inseats you. That's my point.

Inec announced adeleke winner

So what is the fuss all about? Or are you saying Adeleke did not win?

Adeleke did not make such statement.

Tell us a better option if you consider the civil option of going to court audacious.

Ok.no go court.
Go hug transformer

LP, PDP and even APC have all seemed redress in a court of law at one point or the other and won back their mandate where the truly been cheated. So how do you say the idea of telling someone that truly believe he won an election to seek a redress is a threat to free and fair elections?

lomprico:
Adeleke did not make such statement.

I didn't say he did.

Reason for the 300% judges' salary increase and why Doctors didn't get same attention, because their sickness is treated abroad.

Go to court if you feel aggrieved. Where else do you want to go?

In as much as one may agree on some of the points raised by the Op, the fault in most cases lies with the political parties themselves noted for having an incurable mindset of victory by any means possible even when such possiblity is untenable.



Every political party tries to outwit its opponents by applying every trick in the book to achieve victory.



The losers in this competition of dog-eat-dog often resort to crying foul play in the electoral process when they become outwitted in the political battle.



As for the judiciary, it's the aggrieved that brings cases to the court and not the other way around.



They (judiciary) could only decide a dispute based on indisputable facts and evidence brought before it and not based on emotions or sentiments.



Blame the politrickcians for any perceived impediments in our electoral system.




@hotseat

Then jump into the lagoon if that is easier for you. 😁😁😁

Too bad that you can't join to condem the evil befalling your country. We Africans are worst at racism

Should conduct of election even end in court if the rules and procedures of an election are seen to be adhered to?
When are we going to get things right as a country? Everything and every aspect of our systems are been manipulated by Nigerians to their favour.
No country grow with such mindset of circumventing every systems.
