Again and again one is given to a second look at the membership of this Forum. Really dampens one's enthusiasm for a stimulating discourse to see that the first line of comment on this thread are so light and not even constructively so. Well, what the rulings clearly indicate is that if there was any modicum of elections fair and free during the period in question it was so minute it vanished in milliseconds! Sad! Really sad!! For once it is hoped a free and fair elections will hold so folks can elect freely!

Thank you for pointing out level of discourse here. One will expect an engaging exchanging but what do you get an exchange of banters lower than what is expected if primary school student. I have found nairaland forum a very fertile land for topics and issues that could recreate a gretaer Nigeria but what do u get, crass stupidity in response to issues. Its not mandatory to comment but 1 can enrich ones mind by reading fruitful exchange. I hope d moderator can do something about this

forayfleo:
What a nonsense this is unbelievable impeccable now I believe the words of PDP how can the tribunal make such silly judgement, honestly I don't see common sense in this shameful jurisdiction, two elections which held on the same second and day, voters exercised their franchise on same moment and tribunal nullify the Governorship and out of 32 state lawmakers in Rivers state with the election of 21 members nullified, so what happened to the 11 lawmakers? These means there was election therefore the judgement of the tribunal is unsacrosanct believe me thanks I remain Forayleo.

So what happened to the remaining 11 lawmakers?...

Do you have an idea of how court processes work?.... Are you aware that in court, even if the situation is very clear for all to see even in black and white, you still need to provide hard evidence and witnesses to prove your case in court?

The petitioners in the remaining 11 cases were probably not able to provide substantial evidence in court to prove their case that the election was flawed in their locations, hence their elections were not cancelled. The state house of assembly tribunal would not go and borrow evidence from the governorship tribunal to claim that the election was flawed. It is the duty of the individual petitioners in the other 11 cases to go around and gather these evidence.

klassd:

How did you know which party I voted for? Are you from River state?

I dont need God to come down from heaven to reveal that to me. I won award for the most serious student in my school cos my lecturers said i have great analytical mindset. From your reaction i can always know were u belong.

NgeneUkwenu:
Elections petition tribunals sitting in Abuja have nullified the election of the Speaker, Owaji Ibani from Andoni constituency and 20 lawmakers in Rivers state house of assembly. The lawmakers were elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party on April 11 2015 in an election marred by vote rigging and violence.

The judgements given today by the relevant tribunals in Abuja is bound to compound the case of the governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, who was sacked last week by a tribunal under the same circumstances. There are 32 state lawmakers in Rivers state with the election of 21 members nullified the state assembly will no longer form a quorum as  to continue to function.

 More details shortly...

I think it is more than Islamic and beyond Rivers. Really it's about the New World Order. Every human on the planet is under seige by alien = demon forces controlling governments. Rivers State is too important to be in the 'wrong hands' in the opinion of the local and international powers that be!

Jesus is Lord!

Positiveminds:
I hope that we will all be bold enough to accept responsibility for what will soon follow after this shambolic miscarriage of justice. When the killings start in Rivers State, I hope those responsible for them would own up to it. I see Rivers State turning into a spectacular war zone, and this soon too.

You are right. The oil will never be given to Buhari again. It is clear that Buhari and the north took the tribunal to Abuja to do this harm. The region will boil again. It will extremely be the greated.. Let them do whatever he wants.

Yeh. Whatever we call it, it is now clear that Islam is about starting from Rivers state. There no body who does not know who Buhari is, a complete Fulani man and a core Islamist . If the people of Rivers prefer to play with what Buhari is about to do, then note too that the entire south south will follow. oshiomhoke is a little wiser, couple with the Oba of Benin, hence Buhari is taking a little step backward. But Amaechi is such an hopeless man and without thinking have syphone all the rivers monies to Buhari, but Ohiomhole cannot do that. By this, all rivers and indeed the entire south should be prepared to face this Islamist. Remember the Islamist bank that came in making and taking over the air. Stand up and say no. All the militants should be ready. Say that rivers cannot go to the north and Islam. Buhari has found the most appropriate opening to enter the south south, through the foolishness of Amaechi, who is ever ready to give away rivers. buhari believes this is the best opportunity to strike.

dondavinchi:
Buhari and his APC thugs r trending on a hot fire nobody is a fool their is no way he will sack d whole members of d state house of assembly he is calling 4 war n believe me they r ppl who r ready to die they beta b careful if not ppl will die ppl will die prominent ppl will die n Nigeria will b thrown to dust BE CAREFULL NOBODY IS A FOOL who ever is advicing amechi should advice him very well

To die is the best option as it is now. How on earth can the people of rivers sit see thier wealth going to the north?can any normal person ever think of any northerner thinking of bringing the
wealth to the south south. How on earth can the entire local governments be sacked? I pray God should judge this case and briiing peace, otherwise, no normal rivers man will site and watch the state taking to Islam. Amen.

This news looks fishy.I am yet to see it on anyother major news outlet!! So far I have checked Punch,Vanguard and Sun ,no mention of it!!

The same way you just killed the English language..

But i hope u understood what i said, english language not meant to said emotionally, but just to understand, since am not in exam hall..hummm. and same you u failed d 3time waec coz of english language... abeg go away people are not behind you.

This is lovely...no one of the PEJ and GEJ fold should hold power in this country, they are cut out from the clout of corruption. Amaechi is a real man and an astute politician.




Are you looking to get over the fact that you are always short of cash for the best things in life?

Wouldn't you like to have a means of income where you don't have to run under the sun daily running to work or travelling the length and breadth of Nigeria to attend interview invitations?

What about getting a source of income to support your salary?

I love this . I'm proudly 5% . The PDP is sleeping, apc is strategizing while pdp is just watching acting as if there was a prophecy that all this will happen but are the end pdp will still smile and apc cry. Apc are acting like Michael coreleone in the movie Godfather when he tried to kill hyman roth 'I need to wiPe out everybody. Apc wanna wipe out every thing pdp, they don't care even if its illegal. And the pdp is just watching, the so called war lord and millitants are watching waiting for apc and buhari to blin there one eye before the retaliate. The pdp,youth and militants in the nigeria need to use amaechi as a scape goat and send apc and buhari a very strong message so all this intimidation, anti dictatorship will STOP. Jonathan as the leader of pdp need to stand up and take responsibility. If he can't do that he should denounce the pdp publicly let wike,fayose,Dickson and co know they are on their own. Rather than unify the country, buhari is dividing the country more and he feels they will never be consequences. The north, south west, amaechi and apc should keep cheering having fun but when the table will turn against them, there will be a huge party in the south- south and south east even if its the death of an individual. we the 5% will celebrate that death . Pdp GRIP uP! Take the game to apc door step. Whether the north had bought amoury and weapons to fight before the elections if Gej has won, is not an excuse to chicken out and lie low. If nigeria will divide , it will divide. I urge the religious people of the south east, south south to come 2geda too and cry GOD. This philistines(apc) you see today soon you shall see them no mOre. We will not be intimidated. This is not 1998, this is 2015.

How old are you?

Flets:
I am not sure Buhari has this all figured out but Nigeria has anarchy written all over it.....

Bokoharam onslaught up north
Fulani massacre in middle-belt and southwest
Biafra agitation in the SE
And the only relatively peaceful region of the SS is currently being foiled with. 

How exactly do you explain to a Rivers man that Rivers State was the only state marred with election malpractice?

What exactly is Buhari up to? Is he interested in grabbing Rivers state to APC or just hell bent on returning troubles to the Niger Delta

Very soon, Biafran agitators would welcome new members from the Riverine communities with the economy of Nigerian grinded to a halt with these outcomes.

This is no rocket science. ... its just too obvious. Nigeria has finally gone to the dogs.

What sort of infantile analysis is this? How old are you?

StarBoard:

Be quiet you rambling dunce.
When the PDP was pillaging and marauding all forms of national life, it wasn't anarchy then. Nigeria hadn't gone to the dogs when our commonwealth was being looted and our economy ground to a halt.
Next time tell you darling PDP not to be brazen about impunity including contesting for elections..

Boko Haram started while the PDP was in power. They did nothing to bring it under control. You didn't see anything wrong with the way government was handling it and it wasn't a problem to you till Buhari took over.
What kind of 1diot are you?

Don't mind the myopic m0ron.
He claims he wants to be an American citizen but his IQ is in subzero elements.
Was it a northerner who instigated the violence around the election period?
Ask the Channels reporter who escaped with his life at an APC rally in Okrika, patience Jonathan's hometown, when gunmen attacked the rally, killing and injuring people including policemen; was that instigated by the north?
When Wike and his minions are doing all they can to stop Amaechi from being a minister, was it the North?

Let the d0g go to America and wash toilets, that is whe re his IQ is best put to use.

Which part of ur sensory organs are u speaking from?

Demmocrats:
Never fight someone that fed you. Amaechi to Wike

APC is trying to teach Wike how politics is done.


The biggest problem with Wike is that he talks too much, the more he talks the more he exposes his strategy to his enemies.


The press release after his election was nullified exposed his strategies which resulted to today's blow by nullifying the house of Assembly elections under PDP


A wise man would have kept quiet and backtracked and figured out where he made his mistakes.

It is a coup that has been planned. Weather he talks or not won't stop anything.
The fact that PMB is trying hard to cover the loots of Amaechi. We all know but my vote is for the PDP.
