Obinwenite:
See them above. Everything about them is tribalism.

Okey is not the first person that made that statement.

Is Okey not talking from the angle of tribalism?

Penguin2:
I knew the reference was about the FCT argument.

But these are the facts…

In 1979, the FCT was Lagos.

In 1979, the constitution in use was 1979 constitution.

But in 2023, the FCT is Abuja.

And the constitution in use is 1999 constitution which gave a special status to Abuja following the recommendation of the Committee on the FCT; this special status was not enjoyed by Lagos as FCT.

Again, the argument is not about satisfying “2/3” but about satisfying a quasi-independent provision of “25% in the FCT”.

You see why citing that Awolowo vs Shagari case is near useless to the case at hand?

Judgements can be referenced no matter if the constitution used back then is outdated. Simple logic.

Even when the text is underlined you still missed it?

Go back and collect the money you wasted on education.

DeLaRue:
To be fair, if a man decides not to open his shop, isn't that in exercise of his right?

It is difficult to see what law can be said to have been broken. At the very least, you will have to prove that closing my shop equates to me supporting terrorism. Any lawyer will tell you that will be near impossible to prove in a court of law.

Other than the fact it will attract negative attention from some of their customers and some members of the public, and potentially cause retaliatory attacks from a few thugs, and may be some landlords refusing to renew shop owners tenancies, not much will happen.

That said, such a move will cause more irritation and increase mistrust amongst people to a whole new level.

Nobody is saying they can’t close their shops but you and I know that some people will want to force people who refused to close shops to do their bidding and that is what may cause chaos.

famology:
Simple! The lawyers responded to the issues as presented to the court by the petitioners not what is being bandied on social media.

Funny that most of them rely on social media news..

DesChyko:
I ain't taking no responsibility for the fail in your education, brother

You wasted time and resources to seek for education, but unfortunately it's a wasted effort.....

LP can't win Alimosho. know this and know peace....

DesChyko:
No, I won't post snippets. My reason for sharing the entire document is for people to actually read through it. If you can't read through it, leave it for those who have the patience to. 🤷🏾‍♂️

If you want them to read through the whole address, then why did you bring out only the 25% issue out? That's double standard.

Spy360:
If that's the case then there's an issue. But I expect that it shouldn't.

If you follow the proceedings the LP/Obi didn’t do much on those states results.

Spy360:
The defense did not tackle the issue of results manipulation in Rivers, Benue, Imo, Lagos etc. and how the court should resolve it. If the petitioners profer their own solution, the hands of the court would be tied. They focused on the use of electronic transmission/transfer Vs manual transmission/transfer. That's not the issue of the petition but rather whether IREV should be used in case of disputes of election results. They did not even mention BVAS report.

Don’t forget that the petitioners didn’t make efforts to convince the court about the result manipulations in Rivers, Benue, Imo and Lagos. All they do is dump results sheets on the floor of the court.

priceactionx:
Woman of steel. If you mistankenly step on women like this in a mall and you just overlook them, and work away, your own don do, thinking they are just ordinary civilian. I witnessed one sometimes, and everyone knew the guy was wrong, but ego wont allow him apologize profusely, na simple call that day changed the whole story. Everywhere full red cap military within 10 mins. I no no wetin happen after that. as they carry the guy away and his GF.
Did Pastor adeboye school in UNN? I thought he schooled in ife and unilag.

I think Adeboye left UNN because of the War....

DAREH13:
twas like you're still sucking breast or you"re myopic then the protest that last 4 almst a month holding on daily basis across the country

pple that attended endsars protest are just 0.8% compared 2012 nationwide protest

had it bn that GEJ took any bold step then the country wud av bn turnd upside down

Get your facts right the protest didn’t last 3 weeks before GEJ reversed the decision. The opposition took advantage of soft mind.

seunlayi:
This is what supposed to be since 2012 if they haven't opposed GEJ attempt to remove subsidy. Imagine how far we would have gone by now

If GEJ really mean business back then. No amount of protest would have made him return the subsidy.

Mitsurugi:
LOGIC 101
Ezekwesili is a woman and an APE
Your mother is a woman
Therefore your mother is an....

My Mother will not and can never be a bigot like her or your Mum...

SWaccomodator:
If you did not spend the hard earned money your parents labored for to send you to school.

You would know that a terrorist group is recognized internationaly like Boko Haram, ISIS, ansaru, and all by the United Nations, AU, and the global terrorism board summit.

Your baba sai the cattle rustler tagged them terrorist only in Nigeria

Seems like you lack common sense, a country can termed a group as terrorist and they don't need any international body to do that for them.

shortgun:
How did what he said translates to supporting IPOB?

Is IPOB not the creator of UGM/ESN?
Then how come he is trying to claim IPOB not the cause of the insecurity in the SE?
Someone who is aspiring to become the President is supporting a group that has been proscribe as a terrorist group.

Does that mean Obi is a supporter of the secession group (IPOB) in the SE? How can the other parts of the country trust a man like this with the seat of the President....

I’m sure Obi can’t dictate for those that will be appointed from LP.
He can say whatever he likes because there’s freedom of speech.

Waiting for that Ape called Ezekwesili to go on twitter and start her ranting.

They just got Silva where he can’t hide or do anything again.
You high jack the party in the state and you can’t find anybody worthy from other groups in the party, you choose someone with a baggage.
He lost the election before the first ballot already. Congratulations to Diri even though that one too is a Buffon.

Something is wrong somewhere... There is no way a witness will come to court and reply cross-examination like this. Does that mean that the petitioners lawyers didn't prep the witnesses at all, or the witnesses has been threatened by some people and they choose to keep mute..

Same SANs who are friends to politicians? A retired Judge will do anyhow He or She likes because there's nothing to lose.

I hope the OP will tell us about the countries that supported Biafra also.

Putinofrussia:
Dont be a mumu.Your Igbo generations have been fleeing to SW Ibadan even before my daddy was born.
It was this envy and jealousy that made Ironsi tarry the growth that he saw was exponential in the SW with his devilish[b]decree 34...unitary system of govt.[/b]Well,Ibadan is still more developed infrastructurally than the entire 5 SE states.
Wickedness and hatred will take Igbos nowhere.
You must surely reap what you sow.

That decree 34 gave birth to nepotism in Nigeria. But they will not accept their fault and let’s move on.
My Grandpa used to tell us that because easterners are at the top level of civil service back then, they mock others but see how things turn around now. They that were mocking people back then are now crying of been marginalized.

Almost 5 months after the election and the party of saints is yet to release the audited report of the donations and expenses. I thought they want to do things in a different way?

Emusan:
The case is in the court already.

Yes he is guilty because I've seen the certificate he presented to INEC and the one provided by CSU on subpoena

Also, what about him submitted NYSC certificate to INEC for governorship election in 1999 and submitting exception letter to INEC last year?

You people don't want justice but just the one that favour you.

Then let us wait for the court to give judgement on the case in from of it... Except you want to claim the Judiciary has been bought....

Emusan:
He is guilty more than anybody.

1. The certificate submitted to INEC is different from the one CSU provided on subpoena.

2. Before becoming Governor in 1999, he submitted an NYSC certificate to INEC but for presidential election this year he submitted a letter of exception to INEC.

Don't tell me you're not aware of any of these.

If in your submission why not go to court and get a judgement against him... See how you're so sure that he is guilty....

Emusan:
But Tinubu was caught, have you ever raised the issue?

Don't get me wrong.... I never claim that Tinubu is guilty or not, but there is no panel of inquiry that has found him guilty unlike the little girl that the panel set up by the state government find her guilty.....

I hope all armed robbers too can hide under the pretense that because some are not caught they should let those in custody go....

Even with Video evidences some people still see this as Anti-Igbo? The end will justify the means...

Charlyboy, Obi Ezekwesili and co who were busy turning this to ethnic battle should be ashamed of themselves....

GeneralDae2:
Dunno if it would be immediate though. They have backlogs to pay and there are also maturing debts this month (500 million dollars).

They can renegotiate the debt repayment plan...
