Nigerians think they re doing ekweremadu. The country’s name is at ridicule here.

What sort of comment is this? If Nigeria's name is at ridicule here, who is at fault?? Is it Nigerians or Ike Ekweremadu?? And how exactly are Nigeirans doing him? Did we send him? Did we report him? Did we convict him? What have law-abiding Nigerians done except to have our collective reputation again insulted by another lawless man who thinks expediency trumps decency? Please be mindful of what you say!

All shut up !!!!!!

Grandpa, kindly go and sleep . Let them see in the court.

A certain governor was declared winner from 4th position and we didn’t hear you say jack

I had always known that to fix Nigeria will never be easy and even PO knew that before he came forth.
Even demons and dead people will come up to fight against it , say all manner of trash , even against their own will . Sir , you are not the one talking it is what held Nigeria down for so long that is analyzing all these in you

Arise TV called him to ask his view. now you are enraged because it doesn't support your hopes? Why? If he is lying it will be made clear very soon so why are you so disturbed? Or is it that you can see the truth in what he said but you don't like the truth?

DOM7:
Fake SAN everywhere! Anything can happen in Nigeria, how did Imo State end up with Hope? How did Bayelsa Diri and so many funny judge so Mister SAN forget your experience as long as you are not among those supreme court judges forget about it.

Fake SAN becasue he hasn't said what you would love to hear? Has any presidential election ever been overturned in Nigeria?

Oya go and collect the SAN from him.

[quote author= post=122248044]Oyo state is below Anambra State in economy[/quote]After Lagos, in the South, it should be Ogun state.

I am just wondering how you met, dated, got engaged, visited your parents, then got married, and till today you have not discussed finances. People are interesting!

Are you the only one who didn't know what OshiOMOLE did?
YES, He was roundly rejected

You're a stubborn chap huh? I like that. Keep fighting the air.

derecho:
We know the tape is FAKE.

Day never break for your own side there? how far with Oshiomole in Edo north? Was he rejected as you wished?

Mathematicians may be preferred for certain roles only. There are so many departments in banking where they may not be best suited, especially market-facing departments.

Now i see why she chose to skip Nigeria. She opted for countries with liberal, pliable presidents!

Amotolongbo:
This is a very intelligent guy.

He has a football club in Nigeria and bought another one in Denmark which could be used to transfer his players from Nigerian club to Europe. There he could market the players and have a lot of money received from the sales.

I admire his intelligence

If that is the underlying motive, he won't make much money. There are caps on the number of non Europeans you can bring, and 90% of players transferred will fail anyway, meaning you are just incurring unnecessary expenses. What he should have done is rather establish strong links and networks to ensure that scouts always have access to his players.

But I doubt that's the motive.

Racoon:
The urge to continue the structure of criminality is just too fast for them. Image this same man with many moral baggages still appointing Atiku Bagudu-a man well known for laundering Nigeria monies for the late tyrant; General Sanni Abacha?

Still affirming that Birds of the same plumage flock together. Meanwhile, guess the courts knows the world is watching? Kenya have long set a precedence anyway.

Ironically, there is nothing you have quoted there that is not true of your dear Peter Obi. Was he part of Abacha's network? Yes. did he stash away millions in Pandora? Yes.

As for birds of a feather, was this not the same man that appointed Doyin Okupe, a convicted thief as his campaign DG? The same man who picked a proven election rigger as his vice president?

The more you point fingers at others, the more you expose your hero.

ubest1:
Travel out of Lagos in some part of Nigeria you will never dream going back to Lagos

Apart from Abuja which is actually a modern city in some ways, where else in Nigeria would you recommend?

amstamon:
How do these politicians takes us for a ride and yet we still applaud them all because of ethnicity sentiments and bigotry.
Let's call a spade a spade.
So what should now happen to us that actually voted for him due to the 50% slash, hoping it'll remain that way for a long time.
Is it now safe to call this a deceits?

Was it not stated from the beginning that it was temporary??

They are all working together abeg. Emefiele that defied DSS, defied house of reps, defied Supreme Court, is begging NLC?

Why did the NLC not do its protest before the governorship elections? Because they have no genuine interest in protesting - if you ask me, this was planned so as to avoid the impression that the CBN withheld the naira notes and only released them after the governorship elections.

It seems as though they want it to appear as though the trigger was the supposed NLC protest.

Brendaniel:
That is the special privilege Abuja has...

That's what we're saying. The Supreme Court has ruled several years ago that the FCT has no such privilege. It is to be treated as a State, though not one.

Well, we can agree to disagree.

Hyperchi:
OK let me quash what u tink is a point. Kanayo did no wrong for telling ppl of his tribe to remain where they reside and vote when some political thugs where intimidating votes to go to their state. It never a crime.
But it stupid for u to point it out, meanwhile kayemo, ffk and bayo is facing visa ban for their own treat.

Glad we are coming to terms now. A member of the campaign team, who by virtue is one that position is one of the spokespersons for the party, and who still thinks in terms of tribe first and not corrected by the party shows us where the heart of the party lies. To them, they were going to win the popular vote by winning the Christian vote, then they would get the 25% spread by getting Igbos to remain in place across the nation.

Whether you like it or not, this is clear to all.

okuta007:
shut up and stop comparing DC status to FCT in Nigeria - why because we have separate constitutions - of you are trying to copy and paste American constitution now for convenience to help the Tinubu case - please copy and paste the electoral college system into your argument too - you can not pick and choose the part fo the US constitution to make reference to - please adopt the 2nd amendment too “the right to bear arms” so urchins like you and mC Oluomo can be easily neutralized by armed citizens during elections when they come to snatch ballot boxes

If you can still type semi-coherently as you've done here, it's not too late. Wish you a full recovery.

Brendaniel:
That is why they have electoral college there, Hilary Clinton won majority votes but Trump was declared winner because he won the electoral college with a better spread.

That is what the FCT stands for here, it is like our electoral college..

Not at all.

No one region is given that power as you're suggesting here. That is against the very idea of the electoral college.

It works in principle, to minimize the might of larger states, and amplify that of smaller states so that no one region or state will be able to produce or determine the presidency. In terms of an equivalent, the overall requirement of 1/4 of 2/3 of the States and the FCT is our equivalent to the electoral college.

Vesting such powers in the FCT alone, above other States, would achieve the opposite effect by making the FCT vote more powerful than others.

Hyperchi:
I don't want to insult u, so kanayo is now the spoke person of the party. He is making his own point not on behave of the party which the party can come and deny not sending him.
Just as kayemo, bayo and ffk can come and warn other tribe to go their village and vote. It their own point which they will answer to it themselves not on behave of the party. Thank u

Don't be silly. First of all, no one cares about your nonsense insults so feel free to do as you wish. You'll simply be ignored which in fact, I think I will do right away. Secondly, if you don't know that Kanayo was a member of Obi's presidential campaign team, and therefore speaks for him and the party--especially when the party did not later come out to disown those comments, then get off my mentions because I don't have the patience to spell things out for an adult.

Brendaniel:
1. FCT does not have governorship elections - The presidential election doubles as their governorship election, how can over 75% percent of the people you want to govern reject you?

2. The FCT is a representation of the entire states in the country, that is why all the senators and the house of reps converge there depriving them of having a house of assembly, that means the people even legislating for them where not elected by them, unlike the 36 states where you have representation from all parts of the state.

These are valid points but the fact is, that's just the way it is because of the peculairity of our federal system which is in many ways modelled after the US system. Taking that system as an example, Washington DC is the equivalent of our FCT, but they don't have a governor and the president doesn't require any special number of winning votes in DC either.

DC residents may not like it but that's how it is, and alternate arrangements would come with their own challenges. The same is true for us.

Hyperchi:
Post prove from news agency . for me to confirm. And we don't need LP to give us instruction on where to vote. Coz we went for the candidate and ppl we believed best fit the change we need not the party

https://www.nairaland.com/7530401/kanayo-o-kanayo-warns-igbos

Yes, I agree there was no need for them to give instructions on where Igbos should vote. But they did - and that makes them a tribalistic party. That's the point.

Hyperchi:
It very sad to analyse one way, so Igbo ppl are not in those place for labour party to be instructing them to stay there. So they had to move back to their village to vote. While the voters card is for abuja, ur sister kingibe is labour party that told her to stay in abuja also

It is important to understand what you're replying to. I never said Igbos should not stay back and voted and be voted for where they live. I said, why was this directive from the LP leadership directed solely to Igbos?? That means LP was majorly interested in Igbos, doesn't it?

Hope you know which statement I am referring to?

Brendaniel:
If it is treated as a state in this situation then Abuja has lost out, they have been shortchanged...

How so?

Hyperchi:
He told us from the start, that we should not vote him base on his tribe or religion but by how competent he is .
But one man was telling us if it not him then it nobody, and his ppl to vote for him coz he is Yoruba. But am still happy that some of his ppl where obident,
The obident movement was a national bonding for all tribe to come under one umbrella and show support to who they believed in. It was for individual not party.

National bonding? But when he went to Kano he went to Sabon Gari, when he went to kaduna he went to Kafanchan? Why was he only campaigning to Christians?

Why was it that LP instructed Igbos, and only Igbos, to remain in place across the federation for the purpose of achieving the 25% spread required?

SLAP44:
Nigeria population figures are all fake. No way can we be up to 100 million in this country. They said up to 20 million people live in Lagos, not up to a million voted?

You can't deduce population from voting numbers. If we we were to go by your analysis, then we'd conclude that Plateau is more populated than Lagos. That's obviously not true. So it's safe to say there are other factors to consider.

First of all, most people in Lagos come from other places and are not likely interested in Lagos politics. Secondly, Lagosians are busy, business-oriented people who may instead enjoy the day off than go out to struggle to vote, after struggling through the week.

Finally, it is arguable that there was a high degree of voter apathy in Lagos due perhaps to most Lagosians liking and disliking Sanwo Olu at the same time.

Brendaniel:
Abuja is not the 37th state...

Nigeria has 36 states and capital

Glad you're getting it now. The Constitution meant to say you must get 1/4 of 2/3 of all the federating units. Since the FCT is not a State, the only way to express this is to say get 1/4 of 2/3 of all the 36 States and the FCT.

Now, what Mr Falana has said (in the past) is that the FCT has the status of a State - meaning it is to be treated no differently from the States. The implication is that when trying to interpret the meaning of Section 134, no interpretation can be given which would put the FCT in either a superior or inferior position relative to any other state.

Meaning, the requirement in section 134 is conjunctive, both in plain English, and on the basis of trite constitutional principles.

This is not accurate reporting. What he said was that he had already made comments on this in January, and was reluctant to make further comments since the matter is sub judice.

Let's avoid inflaming the polity by misrepresenting people's words!

Angelfrost:
If that's the case... You will have to arrest every top media personnel of all the top parties: APC, PDP and LP!

Even Tinubu should be brought in for questioning too!

That's not necessary but everyone who has made seditious or inciting comments should be held personally responsible. This is now beyond politics, and this is exactly how Rwanda started. Indictable fellows include:

Bayo Onanuga
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour
MC Oluomo (lesser charge as he has retracted his comments)
Femi Fani Kayode
Ahmed Datti

Yes, Fani should be arrested but so should Datti and everyone else seeking to make the country ungovernable.

cedricksly:
it is obvious you do not know how defamation of character works legally... He posted a picture and never insinuated anything in the post but asked a question, and that question can be interpreted to be anything with over 101 interpretations, which he deleted... You see this Sam amadi, he knows what he was doing that's why he never mentioned anything in the tweet to defame the CJN, and he was waiting for people like FFK to take the bait and as usual he did without thinking, he FFK is Un-smart..... What Sam amadi has said can not be used to sue him for defamation of character by the CJN, he carefully selected his choice of words, but what FFK has said can and will be used against him... FFK no get sense

It is you that doesnt know how defamation works. What FFK said is considered a "fair comment" in the circumstances, while Amadi is still liable for defamation under the inuendo priniple.

Massiveglory:
Get which day. Why are you guys deceiving yourself?
Did the CJN travelled as alleged? Yes. Infact he came into the country after this news went viral.
Did he meet with tinubu? He denies that . We believe him for what he says except some other evidence comes out.

You must understand that the CJN is a public officer and so is responsible to the public. Especially now with the situation of things in the country.

That paper took an ordinary picture of a man in a wheelchair and claimed it was a disguise. That was false. Secondly they have accused the CJN of corruption by meeting with a party to a case likely to come before his Court. If false, that is highly defamatory. So yes, they are due a date in Court to prove their allegations.

He should go ahead and sue.

You disparage the CJN and then you want the same CJN to grant you judgement against someone that was defending him?
