Some crazy elections and court results has come and go and none generate much tension like dis Imo results because all dos judgements are numerically possible even the zamfara state case where all APC were sacked for PDP make sense because it was proved APC didnt conduct primaries which is a valid reason. However, this Imo decision does not make sense numerically, how den do u expect people to accept it. The sad part is dat the supreme court are setting a precedent in which oda future cases will follow. This results need to be rejected completely otherwise this is d beginning of an era where numbers dont even need to add up. I know APC think this is dere time but no power is stagnant, other parties will come and go but precedents stays. All this results need to be rejected by all, or very soon INEC officials will be held at gun point and be forced to write stupid numbers. Since numbers will no longer matters nor does it need to align.
And if the supreme court even tink uzodimma av a valid case, i blive supreme court after tallying up d total and seeing d results pass accredited voters, dey should av declare a rerun election rather dan dere judgement

when you talk about the accredited voters, do you also consider those accredited in the 388 polling units that was challenged at the court? Or was it on record that the accredited voters as initially released by inec also include those of the cancelled 388 PU?

No train in the South-south where all the money is coming from. Which way Nigeria. Come and see Federal roads in the south-south you will weep.

Gaping holes in the middle of the road. Causing chronic loss of man hours thereby hampering smooth flow of goods and services, which negatively affects the economy.

But this is the only part of the country that gives the oil money to build railways and roads in other parts of the country.

The South South people were stealing their oil money through NDDC ATM while their governors are busy squandering their 13 percentage derivative allocation.

Congratulations to Edo people for having a man in Governor God-Win Nogheghase Obaseki, at the helms of affairs in Edo State. A man that has humbled thug Osamede Adun aka Bob Izua, and now a nightmare to his thug brother Tony Kabaka. Wake and See Governor Obaseki means business.
Kabaka, your end is near. Oshiomhole really bastardized Edo State with thuggery

Wake and see what? You bloody sycophant. When the so called thugs have their way, Oshomole as the governor was working, in his first term, we saw the Drainage with walkway from Ring Road through Akpakpava to Ikpoba-River, from Ring Road to Sepele Road, New Lagos Road Drainage and walkway, Akpakpava to Iyaro to Urubi through five junction to Uselu with good drainage and walkway. What about dualization of Airport road from Ring Road to Ogba Zoo as well as Siloko Road to Upper Siloko via the dreaded teacher's house and also Mission Road to upper mission up to upper mission extension to Auchi road with adjoining streets of upper Lawani all with Standard drainage and walkways. Oshomole renovated almost all the government schools with new roofing and furnitures just in his first term. I wonder what Obaseki has done in almost four years in office. Edo problem is not thugs, he should leave Tony alone and try to build notable legacies like his predecessor upon whom he rode on to become governor. He has not done anything tangible for Edo people and I challenge anyone to list what he has done for over 3 years now.

omenka:
Dude was just ranting the other day. No thug is bigger than the government. If they wanna frustrate you they will. This guy should simply humble himself and negotiate.

Anyhow you may look at it, Obaseki should also know that he will not be Edo governor forever. It may be his turn today and another's tomorrow.

thesicilian:
Obaseki is doing very well in Edo state, but people with selfish interests will not let him rest.

Sorry what is he doing or what has he done?

What's the point of abiding by the law when lawmakers break the law regularly. They won't provide an enabling environment, but when people do what is needed to survive, they enact harsh penalties.

The focus should be giving local farmers cheap (i.e. low-interest) loans for equipment and inputs and making sure the money is not siphoned off by the usual suspects. Build more milling facilities, and in fact give incentives for people in this country to build machines. And finally fixing the road networks so distribution is cheaper and faster. They could even go so far as to give money incentives to the public for buying Nigerian rice (like the way USA subsidizes electric cars by way of "tax credits" )

Contribute first to the government and they will provide the enabling infrastructure and incentives.

Amudeneogu:
why suffering these poor workers, while our politicians who are not doing anything for this country takes billions of naira every month without any much talk but "Nigerian workers who are suffering day and night, under the rain, and under the sun has to go to negotiating table before their entitlement will be payable to them. that is very unfair treatment.

we claimed nothing is working in this country, so of what use is this Nigerian workers especially those working under the public sector? What exactly are they contributing to this nation? When we all know nothing is working in this country. Plz someone should explain their usefulness in a Useless system.

tot:
Nigerians are suffering - bad roads, education & medical sectors amongst others are in the doldrums, poor infrastructure everywhere YET the government has the nerve to tax people living under such conditions.

You need to sow before you reap. The truth is that apart from mismanagement, the country don't have enough resources to provide adequate infrastructure for its large population. Every year we borrow to take care of our planned expenditures because the money we generate are never enough. Proper taxation will help this country to grow. An average Nigeria want everything but don't want to give out a anything. Oil money, oil money,where is it? How enough is it to take care of our uncountable problems in this country. A good look at our tax system and administration shows we are not yet ready for anything serious as a nation.
The so called Don don't even have anything to show that he pays his required tax to the government. We talk too much in this country.

Is the world bank money free? Is it not a loan?

On which population record are these false data and statistics emanating from. Originally, most of these data are predicate on a country's population, who can accurately tell us what Nigeria population is? Both the local and international statistics on Nigeria are based on mere assumption and can not be accepted.

Point out anything that makes him a fool; that's the only way to prove that you are not the[b]FOOL[/b]

It is so easy to know you people, check your post and it will simply reflect how foolish you are.

topstone4:
Why not counter what he wrote with facts and not empty ranting? They say you APC defenders are daft and stupid in the way you all comment; why not prove people wrong by commenting sensibly for once?

You mean to prove a FOOL wrong?

God punish PDP.

gaetano:
You see the what these useless leaders are passing down. Ist it was Buhari that brought the idea of taking way too long before appointment Ministers, now Governors have copied that.
Then it was omoagage that started the mace thievery nonsense at the senate, now state houses of assembly have adopted that. This Buhari regime ehn

Keep quiet if you don't know what to say, who started the issue of snatching mace in this country? No wonder, it's clear there are too many children like you here.

WarriAproko:
If we get 200 of sowere for dis country. Everywhere for good

There are thousands of people far better than him, the problem he had was that he wasn't diplomatic in his approach in the first place. Now it is left for the court to decide if his actions amount treasonable felony or not. Don't forget that treason is not a bailable offence. For 59 years after independence, it is obvious our leadership have failed us, let begin to think on who we can change the narratives. We should think of what positive things we can contribute to the society and not what our leaders can do for us.

daddytime:
If na Obaseki govern Lagos with the huge allocation and monthly IGR, in fact, wet in him for do for Lagos as per infrastructure, na suicide mission Tinubu for go on to mess am up because he refuses to share the states money.

Lagosisns would have risen to his defense unlike poor teddy bear Ambode the akpu.

What has Obaseki done in Edo state?

SoftP:
If only Oshiomole and his selfish crew can give one good reason why they are desperately fighting to unseat Gov.Obaseki, Edo people will gladly support him and his cohorts.


The only Sin the governor has committed is not sharing government money amongst the likes of Samson Osagie, Obahiagbon and some other miscreants who believed the state treasury is their birthright '

Edo people has gone past that stage. We are strongly behind Obaseki.


very soon, oshiomole and his cohorts go start see spiritual finger for their face'
Our God is not asleep

Nobody need Obaseki's money. Oshomole is not even know for sharing money. The truth is that Obaseki is a betrayal, you cannot be a honest politician without being loyal to the party under who's platform you contested and won election. If he can not respect the party it is clear he cannot even be trusted even in his guise to be developing the state. The records are very clear what Oshomole did achieve in his first term then as a governor, Obaseki can not and will never accomplish such even in eight years. Obaseki is clearly working for the opposition, he is a disgrace to politics, a betrayal and a disloyal beginner. Let see how it goes, the court has their constitutional responsibility so is the Legislature. You cannot interpret the law more than the makers of the law. We are all watching and certainly the disloyalty and irregularities presently be perpetuated by Obaseki will surely consume him.

tuniski:
How is one winning/losing his polling unit amounts to the outcome of general elections? The last time I checked buhari didn't win at Aso Rock!

Is Also Rock PMB polling unit. Ague with sense, abeg.

namio10:
What's president Buhari's business directing a state governor?

Is BUHARI gearing towards absolute dictatorship

They belong to the same party and Mr. President is the party leader. Are you a member of their party? If not, I don't think it is your business.

PopsiAde:
If a new proclamation is to be made, it suffices that they are starting afresh. So what happens to the expiration date? And we have a Vice President who is a Professor of Law.

What is the time frame by law Mr. Lecturer?

Mikepenny5:
It will never be well with those wicked leaders

But it will be well with the terrorist, people like you are the reason why these evil terrorist will continue with their ungodly act just to set the people against the government of the day.

IneedSugarMumy1:
Ahh this is getting out of hand


Why this government like killings, simply release the man as court have instructed you to do

All this killing and destroying of property is uncalled for

Which court demanded that he should be released? Is it not the same man that was in court last week seeking an order of court to alloy him travel abroad for medical treatment? You people should stop spreading wrong information to Nigerians.

elldeb101:
story.....Common sense in IT should tell us that the use of card reader (which was made mandatory) required a central server where data was stored and retrieved to verify voters details. IF a server was not used, where then was the card reader accessing their data from? Except he is saying that it was not used to send results..which is also a lie because most PO / APO claimed to have been given a username and password which was used to send the result from their polling units to headquarters electronically.
It would have been better if he just said the result on the server was not used because it was inconsistent or any other lie..not this one he is saying.

You dont even understand what a server mean in this case, the Card readers were configured as a stand alone system meaning there are not sending or receiving any code from a central data storage, they only utilizes the code or data stored on them that is why they can only work in their assigned polling units. You can remember Inec saying they need to reprogram card readers to replace the ones affected by a fire incident in one of states.
There is no way inec could have transmitted the results to a central system. It was a big blow to the PDP as they were evidently prepared to hack the system and manipulate the result. If there was even a server, how come they have access to it without the permission of the electoral body or the tribunal? We remember the PDP praying the tribunal to grant them access to inspect the voter's materials whereas they claim to have obtained a result from a server which belong to inec without any authority.
PDP and Atiku will end up exposing their dubious plan to have rigged the election before the tribunal.

FarahAideed:
Exactly taking Buhari out of the equation immediately puts an end to the killings

That is exactly what the people fuelling and sponsoring these killings in this country want but unfortunately it wont go that way. How on earth can you explain that the fulanis has taken over the yoruba land for instance and are killing their people without any fighting back? We are not telling ourselves the truth.

paxonel:
then INEC should allow the tribunal inspect the accreditation data, it's simple.

The case before the election court is not about accreditation, its about result.

oluwaahmed:
Besides, a corps member who served in Ibadan, Oyo state and simply identified herself as Adenike told THISDAY that all the results of the 2019 elections were transmitted to the central server. She added that as Assistant Presiding Officer (APO) during the election, her job was to transmit the result electronically.
According to her, “All the results were transmitted. It is the work of APO to transmit results.”

If truly results were sent to a server why do we have Ward collation, LG collation, states collation and finally collation at Abuja. Just as the card reader is not perfect it will be a disaster to transmit reliable result to central data base using the same card reader. Again who authenticate the acclaimed result sent with the card reader? How do party agent attest their signature electronically to the transmitted result? There is simply no case here.

Racoon:
INEC under the APC govt has simple became a worst embodiment of gross fraud & corruption.

Is it the result that was sent to a server or the number of those successfully accredited? What is a server? A computer or device that controls another computer or device or a device that send/recieve and store datas. Inec certainly has record(data) of registered voters which can be stored in a server or a computer, now information on the card readers are programmed locally on the individual card reader that is why a card reader meant for a PU cannot be used for another polling units. This alone is a prove that there is no single central data base where data can be transmitted( Put/Get) Moreover in most cases the card readers could not even verify most registered voters particularly their bio datas and these category were cleared manually using the voters register. Now on the issue of result being transmitted to a central computer is not logical and could not be accepted. The final collation of results was done in Abuja with each state returning officer coming to physically present results from their respevtive states. This alone shows that results were not meant to be collated automatically.

airminem:
Atiku will reclaim the people's mandate very soon.

which people? Server people? The witness even said the result is not the one from the server . Abeg wake up from your sleep, day don break.

QuickStandard:
I just hope the general public, "North not inclusive" would come out enmass to protest in condemning this provocative move by the federal government.



Not protesting on irrelevant matters......

Last time i checked only Northern states showed interest in the scheme why are southerners so worried?

condemn:
Southerners make we get sense and start to venture into this cattle business oh. Once maga pay boys for street, make them buy land for inside bush and buy cows straight.

Most of the cattles in the south are even owned by southerners but the Hausas and Fulanis help take care of them. One thing is still dont understand is that the RUGA issue is simply voluntary for interested states why is it that those states who said they are not interested still complaining? Is it that they dont want interested states to adopt the scheme for fear of something or what? Just like sharia law, only interested states are practicing it against earlier speculation that it may be forced on the entire country. Abeg make una help me reason am

joey150:
The fact that Buhari is settling for an all Northern clan is not even half as worrying as the fact that he does not seem to surround himself with people that have even the slightest pedigree or iota of vision and sound ideologies based on past or present reputation.

There is of course the talk of nepotism, which as his mandate grows older, is becoming harder and harder to defend. I will not excuse a man that seems to only want to surround himself with people from one part of the country. Variety they say, is the spice of life.

With his recent selection of 'henchmen' it is clear and almost logical to conclude that Buhari promises nothing new in the next four years. I'll be shocked if he improves on his already abysmal outing during his last tenure.

Like many other concerned Nigerians, I am deeply worried and saddened by this development. I can only plausibly conclude that Buhari clearly lacks both the mental capacity and vision to rule a complex clime like Nigeria.

Of what use is running a government if your surborinates are grossly underperforming and yet are still being rewarded with extended tenures? Despite the fact that they should have been dismissed long ago based on their performances - the entire security and service chiefs come to mind.

The man at the helm of the affairs of this country is clearly incompetent and cannot advance us any further than we have already pitifully come.

Finally, for the good of Nigeria, I hope I am very wrong.

E pain you sha. Why not advance yourself, Nigerians can never see anything good.

wizzyrich:
If Mr president had put much effort in creating jobs for all the 36 states as he was trying to create RUGA settlement we won't be complaining of unemployment in Nigeria.

RUGA will provide employment, cattle rearing is not meant for fulanis alone, our problem in Nigeria is gross ignorance and illiteracy as will see everything with political, religious and ethnic sentiment. Ortom should not complain tommorrow when the insecurity in his state rise again. As a state governor what he done to curtail herder and farmer crisis? The law prohibiting open grazing in Benue state has not achieve any success till date.
