Fake news as I understand - the picture depicts him reading.

With the way Nigerian parents are going anytime my grades drop I'll commit suicide

God forbid! If it is not a blessing then it is a lesson...Look at what you may need to do differently.

No experience here on earth compares to eternity spent in hell.

Stealing the mandate of the people was undemocratic and fascist!

#PowerToThePeople

Try and give off a positive and relaxed vibe. Smile a lot. If you can make them laugh say at least once, better.

Let's not forget that a significant amount of the wealth of Lagos derives from FG ALLOCATION deriving from oil revenue begotten OUTSIDE of Lagos, and from traders (who are significantly Igbo in ethnicity).

This really needs to go on the front page.

BreconHills:
Can you kindly show me where it says Presidential candidates with dual citizenship are disallowed from contesting?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Nigeria

Eligibility

Chapter VI, Part I, Section 131 of the constitution states that a person may be qualified for election of the office of the president if:[38]

They are a citizen of Nigeria by birth;
They have attained the age of 35 years (40 before 2018[39]);
They are a member of a political party and are sponsored by that political party;
They have been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
A person who meets the above qualifications is still disqualified from holding the office of the president if:

They have voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria (except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly) or they have made a declaration of allegiance to such other country;

They have been elected to such office at any two previous elections...etc.

BreconHills:
This is state high court case that is at variance with the federal constitution. It is currently on appeal and will no doubt be over turned. The conditions under chapter 6 qualifications for President are clear and unambiguous as is the clauses permitting dual nationality.

Yes, Nigerians in general are permitted but where are the clauses that allow 'presidential' aspirants to be dual citizens? The rules say in black and white, that is a grounds for actual disqualification.

BreconHills:
Chapter 6 part 1 of the Constitution of the FRN says that the President must
1. Be a citizen of Nigeria by birth;
2. Have attained the age of 35 years (40 before 2018); 3. Be a member of a political party and are sponsored by that political party;
4. Have educated up to at least School Certificate level

The same constitution allows dual citizenship. BUKOLA saraki former speaker of the Senate and erstwhile Presidential candidate of the PDP has and continues to have dual citizenship.

Please do your research before writing this many sentences.

You too should also do your research, re. dual-citizenship cases and case law. Notwithstanding this, the issue of 'perjury' still rears its head.

MT:
If you were born in Nigeria, you can contest into any elective position even if you hold a dual citizenship but if you acquire Nigeria citizenship by Naturalisation, once you hold a dual citizenship, you cannot be voted for in any elective position. Fashola was correct.

Read this:

Even the appellate courts in Nigeria, have emphasized on this in the following words;

1. “… it is clear and I hereby hold that the acquisition of dual citizenship by a Nigerian per say is not a ground for disqualification for election to the National Assembly particularly where the Nigerian citizen is a citizen by birth. That is the clear meaning of the provisions in sections 66(1) and 28 of the 1999 constitution when taken together. The only Nigerian citizen disqualified by the said sections is one who is a citizen of Nigeria by either registration or naturalization who subsequently acquires the citizenship of another country in addition to his Nigerian citizenship…” Onnoghen JCA (later, Chief Justice pf Nigeria) JSC) in the Case of Dr. Willie Ogebide v. Mr. Arigbe Osula (2004) 12 NWLR Part 886 page 138 paras C-E.

2. “… when a Nigerian by Naturalisation or Registration acquires the citizenship of another country he loses his right as a naturalized Nigeria. Such a person would not be able to contest any election into any elative office in Nigeria. However, a Nigerian by birth who thereafter acquires the citizenship of another country i.e. America as in the instant case does not lose his right to vie for any elective office in Nigeria being a citizen by birth and not by naturalization or registration.” Per, MUDASHIRU NASIRU ONIYANGI ,J.C.A ( Pp. 18-23, paras. F-A ) in the case of LABOUR PARTY & ORS v. ISHOLA & ORS (2014) LPELR-24386(CA)

Hence, dual citizenship cannot prevent any Nigerian citizen by birth from voting or being voted into any elective position or being appointed into any position or office in Nigeria. However, dual citizenship will prevent any person that became a Nigerian citizen by registration or naturalization from being elected into any elective position in Nigeria. Citizenship by birth is ultimate and superior to any other form of citizenship and there is not limitation to it.

It is aleady a given that to become Nigerian president, one has to be Nigerian by birth...thus the assertion that the 'not a dual-citizen' stipulation applies to Nigerians who initially became Nigerians through registration or naturalization, is illogical and redundant.

Happy Easter, kudos and respect to this man for all he has done to help Nigerians and other Africans! I salute him.

DOptical:
This is getting serious. What Buhari saying about all these things?

Nuting nuting

FFK also said Tinubu should to jail for 'drug arrests'.

AbuAeesha:
Thrash story
Back then Was there extrajudicial killings like there is now?

So if IPOB was non-violent then, why were they banned Why were killings instigated against them; at a time when Fulani herdsmen and jihadists were killing and letting the blood of thousands of innocent people??

Fani Kayode is a political prostitute and a hustler and a blight to the already dim light to this country.

No lies told!! Check below...

That FFK is something else ooo! Never have I ever seen.....He needs to go into the Guinness Book Of Records...for Hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!!!

It is only a complete ignoramus that would deny that Boko Haram and their like have NOT waged a religious war on Christians in the north and middle belt of Nigeria. That it is under-reported by mainstream media, and largely ignored by the government does negate the actuality of genocide. Blowing up churches is not banditry - lets call a spade a spade...

That 80% of deaths from Christian religious persecution in the world, are happening in Nigeria should fill any right-minded human being with both horror and anger. Yet all you can do is result to mock Peter Obi? For real, for real?

He was joking...he was going to make a following video with one 'Lola' in it but was not afforded the opportunity.

He is son to an Igbo Christian mother and Yoruba Muslim father. He is of course Davido's uncle. Does that make Davido ,1/4 Igbo?

People please! Let's stop comparing one video of an APC supporter in the SE being shooed (because pple thought he'd lost his mind) to the systemic, calculated violence and voter suppression that occurred in Lagos city wide.

I ❤ Afenifere.

Is that business class?

Nice one Seun!! The bitchfests here are soo very playground/ FFK! Yoruba people are not our problem or the problem of Nigeria. We sit next to each other in our churches and should be more concerned with issues like the religious-cleansing in the North.

The 'mama Chukwudi' comment was just one aspect and should NOT detract from the overall threats and intimidation captured in the video, directed at ALL people who are not APC supporters.

There is a difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance.

FFK stated in a press release; Tinubu should be 'in jail' for drug arrests.

I was discussing the other day with a friend, who the bigger snake is, Wike or FFK?....
