For the first time in 700 years, the gods of penalty shootout smiled on us. This AFCON belongs to Nigeria true true.

Boys Boys sorry o, you guys really tried but there can only be one winner!🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🦅🦅🦅

it means you are new watching super eagles, we hardly lose penalties.

A colonel on uniform was arrested by fashola, this one is just blabbing.

It depends on his performance and the people contending with him, I voted for him in February but I'm yet to be pleased with his actions especially in terms of the economy, there are better ideas that he can work on with less cost.if Peter obi and Atiku are still his main challengers and his performance is below par, I'll likely not come out to vote, I still wish him and our great country the best.

For a soldier to be dismissed, it means he has already had bad character. So, it is not a surprise that he murdered someone.

He is among those people that are intoxicated with power and abuse it.

he was
a serving soldier when he committed the offense, he was subsequently dismissed after his arrest.

In all Truth and Honesty peter obi lost the election



Let us continue to explain things to them gently may be they will Understand better

Ok

same way you voted for peter obi is the same way others voted for Tinubu and Atiku

peter obi failed to get 25 % in any sharia Muslim states so that alone is already 12 states lost .
(Almost one third of the Federation's states already)

plus the 5 SW states where he failed to get 25 % that is already 17 states lost where he didn't get the mandatory 25% National Spread In Two Thirds of the Federation .

We haven't yet added Kogi ,Kwara and others o !
peter obi lost!!

Even if you want to very stubbornly argue that the 5 SW states results were rigged and exclude them
( But in that case the APC will also argue for the SE results to be excluded too for the very same reason)

Then include only the 12 sharia Muslim states where peter obi failed to get 25% and add Kwara and Kogi State too
That is already a total of 14 states, , Game over!
peter obi could not afford to have 25% in less than 24 states without loosing

peter obi still lost the Elections!!!!!

it's a waste of time explaining things to a member of headless mob.

Offering 3 years for a 5 year programme is fraudulent.

'They refused to accept that elections aren’t won on opinion poll numbers, but on actual votes cast at the polling units, where Obi/LP was short of over 40,000 polling agents to guard his interest. It’s no surprise that they bandied outrageous figures, that Obi won the election by moon slide – with one report claiming that Obi scored 50m votes, Atiku 25m votes, and Tinubu 15m votes, totalling 90m votes. An unbelievable figure that outstrips the INEC reported PVCs collected by potential voters – also overblown, as it contained millions of PVCs that belonged to dead voters! Still, Obi relied on such allied figures – plus the report that he won in 30 states, including in the 19 Northern states – to claim he won the election, but that INEC, Tinubu and the APC denied him victory. And like Atiku, Obi didn’t submit evidence with probative value – not even an alternative result to counter alleged INEC’s awarded figure to Tinubu – to support his claim. In court, Obi challenged the process, and not the outcome of the poll he boasted he won handily. Atiku was expected to prove in the courts – with concrete and verifiable evidence –'

By Ehichioya Ezomon.

This is a response to a comment on my October 30, 2023, piece on: “How Supreme Court trashed Atiku’s ‘fresh evidence’ from Chicago.” Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) got the new evidence from President Bola Tinubu’s academic records and deposition to authenticate his certificate by the Chicago State University, in Illinois, United States, on October 2 and 3, respectively.

The respondent to the article on ‘NTA Benin Family Forum’ WhatsApp page, reposted a fabled, “Justice in 21st century Nigeria,” woven by Usman Muhammad around a murder case, in which the suspect was found guilty by the High Court and Appeal Court. But on his appeal to the Supreme Court, CCTV footage showed the suspect didn’t commit the crime. Yet, the Supreme Court justices said: “Since your lawyers didn’t tender the footage at the lower court within 21 days of your arrest, you will be hanged as earlier ruled.” The poser: Why should the Supreme Court refuse the fresh evidence of fact that could’ve exonerated the suspect? Corollary, why should the Supreme Court refuse Atiku’s “new evidence” to prove that Tinubu presented a “forged certificate” to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for clearance for the February 25, 2023, poll? Reproduced below are excerpts from my response, “Very wrong and off-the-point analogy,” to the respondent’s query: “Elections are of a different kind (sui generis) from conventional legal matters. That’s why the rules and procedures are different, too. “The rules guiding the 2023 General Election, as per the amended Electoral Act 2022, mandate litigants to front-load their pleadings, and witnesses to be called. “Once the actual proceedings start, you can’t plead what you didn’t front-load, because the other party to the dispute will no longer have a chance to reply. You can’t catch your opponent from behind. “That’s what Atiku wanted to do with the CSU academic records of President Tinubu, and CSU’s deposition therefrom regarding the authenticity of his certificate.

“Besides, Atiku breached the Supreme Court Rules 1985 (as amended), whose Order 2, Rule 12 set three conditions for admitting new, fresh or additional evidence at the appeal stage. They’re: “(1) The new evidence shouldn’t have existed or existed but couldn’t be diligently obtained before the appeal. Did Tinubu’s certificate saga just happen yesterday? No! It’s been on since 2003, when he ran for re-election as Governor of Lagos State. “(2) The new evidence shouldn’t be such that it will affect the entire appeal. That’s, the evidence must not torpedo the appeal, which primarily emanated from the February 25 presidential poll. “(3) The evidence should be credible and believable, and needn’t be incontrovertible. “Atiku held up the evidence as such, relying on CSU’s deposition,” but “Tinubu controverted Atiku’s allegation that CSU denied the certificate he submitted to INEC.” “Atiku also fouled the rules when he initiated his case against CSU… He went to court in the U.S. because it’d dawned on him he’s going to lose the case at the PEPC.


That’s taking undue advantage of the situation, which is against natural justice. “So, you (respondent) wanted the Supreme Court to ignore these facts, including Atiku breaching the rules of court, both at the PEPC and Supreme Court, and give him judgment based on emotions, sentiments and morality? “This is similar to what Peter Obi (former Anambra State Governor of Labour Party (LP)) said on November 6, 2023, at a press conference: that the Supreme Court ignored Public Opinion, and affirmed Tinubu’s victory! “How did they expect 5 Justices of the Appeal Court, and 7 Justices of the Supreme Court to abandon the law for public opinion? Public opinion is the rule of the jungle, and not of human society! “The maxim is, ‘The Law is the Law’. You’re not supposed to twist the law to favour one party, and disfavour the other party to a dispute.” Were public opinion – a mob mentality that runs on emotions – the main determinant for choosing the President, there won’t be need for elections. Simply apply the rule of the thumb, and pick the candidate that’s more voices of support on social media. This was evident at the February poll when Obi’s supporters, who dominated social media, took that psyche to the election, believing that “the vote is in the bag” for Obi, who led in several opinion polls.

They refused to accept that elections aren’t won on opinion poll numbers, but on actual votes cast at the polling units, where Obi/LP was short of over 40,000 polling agents to guard his interest. It’s no surprise that they bandied outrageous figures, that Obi won the election by moon slide – with one report claiming that Obi scored 50m votes, Atiku 25m votes, and Tinubu 15m votes, totalling 90m votes. An unbelievable figure that outstrips the INEC reported PVCs collected by potential voters – also overblown, as it contained millions of PVCs that belonged to dead voters! Still, Obi relied on such allied figures – plus the report that he won in 30 states, including in the 19 Northern states – to claim he won the election, but that INEC, Tinubu and the APC denied him victory. And like Atiku, Obi didn’t submit evidence with probative value – not even an alternative result to counter alleged INEC’s awarded figure to Tinubu – to support his claim. In court, Obi challenged the process, and not the outcome of the poll he boasted he won handily. Atiku was expected to prove in the courts – with concrete and verifiable evidence – that he won the poll. But he didn’t stay the course, to establish allegations of massive fraud and violence, and INEC’s connivance with Tinubu and APC to deny him victory. Rather, he concentrated on obvious pre-election matters to have Tinubu disqualified, so he could be declared the President (as he placed second in the February 25 presidential poll), have a re-run with Tinubu or a fresh election that excluded Tinubu. Thus, Atiku’s fresh evidence from Chicago wasn’t that of a factual report capable of turning the tables in his favour – such as the CCTV footage cited in the fabled murder case that could’ve saved an innocent suspect from the hangman’s noose – as it’s procured with deliberate disregard to the rules that govern election matters. Lawyers know that strict observance of or adherence to the law, and rules and procedures of the court is sacrosanct.

You ignore them at your own legal peril! And in election matters, the law, and rules and procedures can’t be sacrificed on the altar of admitting belated remedial evidence. Plaintiffs and respondents front-load their pleadings, and witnesses to be called at the exchange of briefs and replies by parties during pre-hearings, as no new, fresh or additional and better evidence – no matter how compelling – are allowed by the courts thereafter. Lawyers are apprised with these processes before filing clients’ briefs, and during pre-hearings, and are, ipso facto, obligated to obey them throughout the proceedings from the lower to higher courts. Did Atiku obey these processes – akin to a code of conduct – that his team of senior lawyers were abreast with? No! Actually, Atiku’s lead lawyer, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), admitted at the Supreme Court that he (Atiku) didn’t plead the new evidence he strove to impose on the court. Mr Uche also agreed that the time for fresh evidence had lapsed, but he would rather the court give substantial justice – a euphemism for abandoning the law for emotion – based on the new evidence from Atiku’s discovery in Chicago. You can’t break the law and also ask the law (court) to protect your right because you’ve a compelling reason for breaking the law. That’s what Atiku did! He purposely ignored the rules of engagement, went to CSU without the court’s authorisation, obtained the new evidence he didn’t plead, and emotionally asked the court to accept it, “to prevent President Tinubu from embarrassing and damaging Nigeria and Nigerians’ image in the global community.” No self-respecting court would accommodate such an entreaty from an appellant that affrontly breached the law, and the rules and procedures that guide election matters. Hence Atiku’s appeal, like that of Obi, merited dismissal, and the Supreme Court accordingly threw it into the dustbin of history!

discusant:
Nigerians defeated APC during the last presidential election. But because Buhari placed his kinsman, Mahmood Yakubu, on INEC, picked his own court judges to Nigeria's apex courts before he left office, the winner of the presidential election was denied victory by Mahmood Yakubu through a most primitive and fraudulent manipulation of the election.
Others were asked to go to court knowing full well that the court judges were mostly APC picked into the judiciary.

ses reasoning of member of headless mob,the manipulation that were not proved in court.

DMerciful:
You're confused. How can he say its was given by them and he doesn't know?

Read to understand, he said CSU have not been stamping documents but Tinubu 's lawyer insisted,and it must have been done for him cos it's a Nigerian thing.

SmartPolician:
How come markets don't look decent in Nigeria?

How come many markets are without decent cement floors?

Markets always look extremely muddy and dirty whenever it rains.

We can do better in this country. We cannot continue like this.

I always ask the same question, how come our cities are sub- standard.

paramakina202:
Which one did Sanwo Olu used as his qualification?

he has additional certificate (degree).

paramakina202:
Story,it seems Nigeria justice system is not blind rather it very much awake and dispenses biased judgement.
They are sacking LP candidates left and right based on pre election matters according to them but in some cases like Shettima the VP it was ruled in his favour.

2022 electoral act said it expressly that you can only be sacked for forgery if the certificate in question is the one you used as a means of qualification, in sanwoolu's case he has additional degree.

Why mixing certificate issue with 'who won the election ' . That's not logical reasoning.

emmanuelbrown26:
I doubt if prof truly said dis, if he did, it means that prof really bleeped up.
Prof u didn't say anything when judges were interpreting d law upside down
Prof u didn't say anything when Tinubu's certificate issue was raised..
Was Obi d only contestant? Atiku took up d certificate issue to US, and no Yoruba born of a woman has ever said anything to Atiku, but always want to flex where igbos are involve.

Ofunaofu:
I guess you are referring to agbadorians and Tinubu minions. They fit in your description... headless mob

you know the group prof. Soludo nicked the headless mob. The obidients especially the Ipob members among them.

Nawa for the headless mob o.

Amah70:
Never.
The INEC evidence that its computer had a glitch only on presidential election transmission system is enough reason for a judge to order his arrest for trying to play on the intelligence of judges and lawyers. Nigeria cannot be a strange country where lawyers intelligence are exchanged with money or ethnic loyalties.


Remember Mahmood's SERVER DENIAL SCANDAL in the courts of 2019.
One man cannot afford to insult the intelligence of the judges twice and APPOINT presidents for Nigeria twice.
Is Mahmood Yakubu a sacred son?

You don't know much about software,a single line of code can affect uploading of specific results.

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.

You guys are incapable of making a logical reasoning,how about if the university has changed Thier logo, have you observed all possible premises before arriving at a conclusion?. No wonder prof. Soludo referred to you guys as headless Mob.

slowice:
It's obvious Tinubu's government have no interest in fighting corruption.... A senator made an open confession as weighty as this but his government looked to other way instead of prosecuting the werey.

The same werey have the temerity to seek protection from the judiciary, what nonsense.

don't be quick to talk without thinking,is ICPC not under his government?.

Steinmann:
#DAY 36 (STOLEN MANDATE)
The truth is gradually coming out.The European Union report on the flawed election is a tip of the iceberg.

EU report didn't say he didn't win,they only made some observation that can be worked on in future elections, don't be a daft obingo.

Penguin2:
You are very right about the bolded. But unfortunately a lot of people on your political divide are too emotional, irrational, shortsighted and tribalistic to think in same light with you on that. The fact that the best thing that will happen to Nigeria is a marriage of the entire 3 regions of the south which would see them always present a united front at elections and other issues in the Nigerian political space and you will see the north on her knees forever. But if there’s one politician who is to blame for making that marriage is not working, it is your Tinubu who, together with his supporters, only campaigns with things that divide the south rather than things that unite. And months after the election, Tinubu’s supporters are still reinforcing hatred without restraints or cautioning from anyone. What does that suggest?


Again, it’s usually funny to me when I hear some of you call Obi a coward for refusing to join Atiku and Wike in dollar war at the PDP Primaries. Wait, you expected Obi to see out the PDP primaries which would have meant that he had to mobilize enough foreign currency to outspend both Atiku and Wike? How would that have made any different from those he’s seeking to replace?

Osinbajo did this thing you are saying, how did it end for him? He was outspent and outmuscled by Tinubu, and now we may never have an Osinbajo presidency (what a loss).

Again, Wike also did it PDP. He thought he had arrived, and was big enough to fight Atiku for the PDP ticket. How did it end for him? He almost ran mad; and still hasn’t recovered.

I used to think you guys say these things just to see what to mock Obi with but I’m seeing you have always been serious about it. But what I need you to understand is that the criminal ruling class deliberately hijacked the two parties of PDP and APC so they would always midwife the emergence of one of theirs from these parties.

What Obi did was an anomaly and a pulling of the rug off their feet. Before they knew what was happening there was already a conflagration of support for Obi. They tried to put out the fire but it was already beyond them. That was why they ended up rigging the election childishly just to stop Obi.

So, on what ground did you really blame Obi for not engaging in dollar contest with Atiku and Wike in PDP?

the election wasn't 100 percent perfect but it's still one of our best elections, only obidients'think otherwise especially the Igbos among them,most especially, they are fond of laying claim without logic or any proof. That's a sign of low intelligence if you ask me.

Jostoman:
We understand the decision to put it on hold because Una want APC to win but despite that APC no still win, what we witness during last election was changing of results ad swapping of position.

says a daft obingo.

BreconHills:
This is not true. She has pictures taken with BAT and has referred to him as President.

that was after thought.all the picture she earlier posted, Tinubu didn't reflect,it was after much bashing that she did this.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
With rigging

he won fair and square.you Igbos need to be logical and abandon this your nzogbu nzogbu style.

Has LP made the necessary payments?.

Ddeliverer007:
What is Inec afraid of…😂😂😂😂😂

They have eaten tinubu money and can’t defend their results anymore.

They can’t produce documents anymore..

They must vomit tinubu’s money, their chairman must be jailed and the rightful winner must be declared president.

Okwute no be guy name.
