It is like Russia's heady decision to invade Ukraine....

When it was being conceived and conceptualized, it looked cool and plausible but the aftermath has become a mess that even the aggressor is at loss on where to go from the impasse...

When Mahmoud Yakubu decided for whatever reason he had to deceive himself by abandoning the provisions of the Electoral Act and going for a manipulative strategy, I can bet he never saw the level of opposition and resistance coming...

He and his co-travellers thought it would be business as usual: They probably reckoned that in the usual Nigerian way, the aggrieved parties would move on.

Justice must be done or at least, seen to be. done.

The rule of law and constitutional supremacy must be the standards of engagement in Nigeria.

No scaremongering and diversionary tactics will make us take our eyes off the ball...

Which particular provisions of the Electoral Act were violated?

Harrynight:
In Nigeria do the common People befits or suffering from it?

You're suffering indirectlty. Do you enjoy queuing for petrol?

Harrynight:



Soludo may soon become a shadow of himself



Ngozi was one person heavily pushing for the removing of Subsidy
I will never forgive her wickedness as the removal of Subsidy is doing more harm to the common masses than good

Subsidies promote inefficiency. It is proven, settled economics.

I still repeat sacking Eguavoen was a mistake.

habsydiamond:
What have they been doing since... na yahoo boys dem sabi catch.. those politicians are basically a bone tighten to the neck of a dog to them that they can't eat or throw away. I will take them serious when I start hearing of governors arrested for embezzlement

Governors have immunity. You can arrest ex governors but not sitting ones.

Sunnyski:
It's clear that you're a total fiasco.

A primary school dropout. Now consult your dictionary and find out the meaning of "fiasco" and you will discover that you're a "total failure".
Then you will know who's educated and who I not.

You're still intent on exposing yourself?

Well, if you were educated you would know that fiasco refers to events and cannot be used for persons or places.

But you and I both know the truth. Sir, you no go school and there's nothing wrong with that. Just learn not to talk carelessly in public so that people like me do not embarrass you.

Sunnyski:
You little fool, I'm sure you've seen the real petition and prayers by PO. You blind bat of an urchin think that you can just fabricate anything and post it just to spoil the incoming president.

Shame on you and all the batstards

Young man get away. Face your hustle so you can be like me. I cant argue with a nonentity. Get away from here.

millionaireman:
You never read the inner volumes of the petition. Even the poster said 5 points but hurriedly posted 4 points.
You quickly drew conclusion that someone was not smart. Now you added not being honest to the youths. You are on a negative campaign against Peter Obi. Go siddons, election campaign is over. You definitely campaigned for a near octogenarian who is mentally handicapped and who forfeited drug trafficking money to the US, to preside over Nigeria.

You probably don't think he is smart that is why you keep repeating it despite my corrections.

For your info, it is the prayers that the court decides on, merely using what you call the inner volumes as support.

That is to say if you are facing Lagos, no matter how nice your car is, you cannot humanly arrive in Kano. So if this report is accurate the better get used to the idea of president Tinubu.

millionaireman:
As you didn't see any good logic in the petition prepared by 12 SANS, and deduced that Peter Obi is not smart, you literally saw the SANS and Peter Obi as illiterates; therefore Tinubu who did not attend Primary or Secondary school but acquired Chicago University degree through dubious means, is the educated one before you.

I never said they are not smart. I rather hinted that he is not being honest with the youths who should be smart enough to see this.

How can you complain that a process was bad and that you want to examine the tools that were used for the process (bvas), then you examine the bvas as requested, and then you go to court and make no single argument relating to the process?

Probably they have seen that there was no tampering with the bvas after all!

Why not come out and tell your fans that truly the process was not as bad as you thought but you will fight for your mandate differently?

And if you think opposing Obi makes one a fan of Tinubu I have no words for you either.

humilitypays:
sighs.


Why are most Nigerian shameless and foolish?


How can a man who holds no political office, who is also contesting under a party that have no single elected or appointed political office holder rig election in Nigeria?



Can you rig election in Nigeria without the backing of INEC, Police and the President?


Nigerians no longer have the fear of God in them, people now lie, oppress others and act carelessly without remorse

Rigging is not about holding office, though it can help. Under our current electoral system, 95% rigging happens at the operational level and is dependent on who has primary access to the results sheet.

In an area where the presiding officer is friendly to you, and you have enough people to intimidate or bribe other parties agents, then you can rig easily.

Don't tell me you really believe Mahmoud was somewhere writing figures?

millionaireman:
SANs have now become illiterates for you because you want to be led by a mentally handicapped person who forfeited N460000 drug trafficking money to the US government in the past?

You should have waited for the can of worns about Tinubu to be opened.

No idea what you're talking about. Who mentioned illiterates?

Sunnyski:
Can't you see that it's fake? The OP said 5 prayers and yet only 4 are found.

It's very easy to spot an urchin

Are you daft? that the paper omitted one of the prayers makes it fake? It is obvious when you look at the four, especially the last one, that the main argument here is non-qualification. In fact get off my mentions if you're sole purpose here is to be unreasonable.

Lol so this is the election petition

Why are smart youths allowing this man to lead them?

Israel07:
Keep switching, I'll tell you once again you can't lace my shoes academically, n I'm not boasting so shut ur trap, I don't need google to tell that u was capping. Now gerrahia

No one is trying to lace your shoes izzy my boy. Just helping you fix up your grammar to avoid embarrassment. I think a thank you is in order but that's fine.

Ta ta.

Israel07:
No dog. U not capable of lacing my shoe academically, when u say a church is not popular u mean it has no presence there n I'm telling you it's everywhere here so shut the Bleep up.
Do most yourbas go to redeem? No dey switch upandan.

Insisting on the wrong meaning of a simple English word that you can google shows how irredeemable you are. From the way you write you cannot have gone to university which is why I advised you get any corper around you to help. But you want to turn kind advice into fight. Well, no problem.

The funniest part is you think you are doing me, abi? No problem.

Israel07:
You're not a member of RCCG if you don't know that it's the pentecostal church with highest number of branches in Nigeria, e full our village for East, even in Katsina where I served it was two on streets adjacent to each other, dem come dey drag us sef. No dey whine ur sef. What's the mission of the church?

Seems you're not too comfortable with English?

Where did I say I was an RCCG member? Where did I say RCCG does not have many branches in the east?

Please pass the phone to any corper around you there to help you interpret: RCCG is not that popular. That means most Igbos in the South East don't go to RCCG.

This is horrible.

There is a high probability that man is lying.

RCCG is not that popular in the East so I find it highly improbable that his mother in the village goes to RCCG.

Then what do Yoruba's say of Paul Enenche's church? The first Sunday I went there, if I recall correctly, the entire sermon was about how Atiku is Fulani and Tinubu's ticket is Muslim Muslim.

Well, I also resolved not to go back. Though I am Christian and not Yoruba, but I went to church for spiritual edification not politics.

Broveens42:
No be only ladder to Igbo presidency...
What you see happening to PDP is law of 'retribution'... You take a whole tribe for a ride because they are more patriotic, and still believe you are the only ladder to Igbo presidency since 1999.
I have said it, and will keep saying it... No Igbo man will be allowed to rule nija after the 1967 experience. It is a vow that must be kept by the sect and unexpectedly, an express way to a new nation.


Kanu has gotten biafra ~ obj

Nothing of any such. Play your politics and you'll get there. Only Goodluck Jonathan and to some extent Obasanjo have had an easy ride to the presidency. Buhari fought for it for decades, while Tinubu has been planning his own for decades, including sacrificing his VP slot for a good 8 years despite being at an advanced age. Atiku has been running from a quarter of a century without success. Even Jonathan couldn't retain his seat.

Obi wants to get up and walk into the seat at his first attempt and tried to do so by being the candidate of southern and middle-belt Christians who dominate social media.

The only other Igbo man who has run on a popular ticket is Ojukwu, who Igbos themselves did not vote for. So who is stopping you from producing a president? Had Obi stayed with Atiku, won with him, and served loyally as Osibanjo did to Buhari, he would have had a very strong chance.

Stop this victim mentality thing. By the way are Igbos the only tribe who have not produced a president? What will you say of the Hausa then? Do you know that despite northern dominace of politics there has not been a single hausa president in the history of this country?

This will be inconclusive too

BafanaBafana:
Results released by INEC never showed she was leading.

Thats why i said unofficial

BafanaBafana:
Naaaa, she was never winning. APC people were just being mischievous and posting whatever they wanted

She was winning by unofficial collation. The issue revolves around an allegation that fake results sheets were submitted to inflate her vote count in fufore LGA - This was why the collation was stopped around 5 pm.

She was winning. The issue is the results for certain lgs were contested and re-tallied. Now Fintiri is almost certain to win.

Modern Day Slavery

Eligible To Be The Governor of Lagos:
1. Tinubu - State of Origin - Osun State.
2. Fashola - State of Origin - Ekiti State.
3. Ambode - State of Origin - Ondo State.
4. Sanwoolu - State of Origin - Ogun State.

Not Eligible To Be The Governor of Lagos:
1. Patrick Gbadebo Rhose-Vivour (GRV) - State of Origin - Lagos State (Lagos Island).
2. Jandor - State of Origin - Lagos State.

FFK: Those Lagosians Claiming To Be Yorubas Of Lagos Are Not Yorubas. They Are Slaves Who Were Repatriated To Lagos Via Sierra Leone, Liberia, E.t.c.

If you ask me, as a non-Lagosian SS person who couldn't care less about the outcome of the Lagos gubernatorial raceThe frank truth is that you people set Rhodes up for rejection with all the taking over Lagos and elup from top to bottom talk going on. Politics is about strategy and in this race, the strategy ought to have been to allow Lagos Yoruba LP people to do the talking while the rest of you wait and only show up to vote quietly.

Instead, it was people from Edo and the SE doing the campaigning for him - quite aggressively too. Hopefully, lessons are learned.

nonhuman:
Nigerias electoral system is too shambolic, how can someone win an election with just a little over 200 votes, it's not literally a win in actually Sense, there should be other ways to determine a winner in an election

Over 2000.

So what system would be better?

.

Padipadi:
Amaechi appears to be talking bitter.
But the truth is we v govt failure.
What the youths should demand first is to de-market political offices. Reduce drastically their earnings, and strengthen the judiciary.

True federalism is what we need and Buhari has actually set us on that path with the constitutional amendments that were made last week. By the time the fiscal federalism bill is passed, no one will look to the centre again. So what we should do as youths is clamour for the fiscal federalism bill to be passed!

EDUECO:
Are there no hood men in that VGC?

If the thugs attack the voters,then it is lawful to retaliate.It is the duty of the hood guys to teach those thugs a lesson.

Why do you think it the hood guys would not be the very ones chasing her?

CSTRR:
But the buhari you supported have always advocated top to bottom approach.

He went to Kano and endorsed ganduje when with the dollar scandal.

He also endorsed tinubu the drug dealer even though he doesn't like him in the name of party supremacy.

Infact, the first people to talk about "top to bottom" are the apc.

You are a hypocrite.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that I support Buhari?

N3TRAL:
Transferring items like control of railway and generation of electricity from the exclusive list to the concurrent list to be under the legislative competence of the House of Assembly of States without granting them control of their mineral resources and other sources of revenue, like seaports, is like putting dirty clothes and detergent in a washing machine without water and expecting clean clothes as the outcome of the process.

States like Lagos already control their railway. They can afford electricity generation. Imo cannot afford that without controlling its gas deposits or borrowing heavily. We know how much Buhari and Rotimi Amaechi borrowed to fund rail projects. Imagine such debt on states 😂

Akwa Ibom and Port Harcourt need to control their oil and gas deposits to avoid excessive borrowing to fund the projects. Zamfara needs to control its gold. Will Abia State, Ebonyi State or Kebbi State afford railway and electricity generation with the monthly allocation given to them?


The recent alteration will only increase the debt profile of States. The most important alteration to the CFRN 1999 required in Nigeria is for States to donate what they earn from their resources to the Federal Government instead of the Federal Government donating monthly stipends in form of allocation to states. It will promote healthy competition, innovation and hard work.

My state is one of the richest states though. We'll hold Sim/Ngozi accountable.

The beauty of it is that States can pursue ppp! No excuses!

CSTRR:
Why don't you like labour party?

What have such a new party ever done to you?

Have they ever governed you?

Great question!

I resent the elup from to bottom philosophy that operates on the principle of hate for a certain party rather than competence of a candidate.

I resent the politics of blind followership were people are getting elected into offices by people who do not know them.

I reject the politics of covenience whereby people are joining lp months to elections, not because they believe in the labour ideaology, but because they want an easy ride.

Lp represents, to me, a mass movement of people who do not think for themselves, and the politicisation of cancel culture.
