If you were not an Oku you would know Section 134 (2) of the CFRN 1999 already made that clear. Oku eyan.

Qouting irrelevant section of the constitution.

Obaaderemi2:
Oku, that's one man that knows the law inside out, not emotional illiterates.

according to you an Akudaya. If you are not Akudaya, you would have shown me the part of the constitution you were qouting

The mad man is the man who always sees gloom and negativity, Mr, am saner than you and Deji combined. What is Deji doing to make Nigeria better, if everyone is like Deji and you, who only complain and point out the bad daily, Nigeria would be in a state of comatose. A nation does not grow by ranting and always making noise, let Deji put in his own work for good of nation.

you are a m@d man for calling me blogger because I posted happenings on nairaland

Obaaderemi2:
You never learn. This has nothing to do with me. The grammar is clear unless to those who have a poor grasp of the English language and mischievous people.

Fct is not a state. That's why state ekections don't hold there but during presidential and other federal elections, it gains the status of a state but it's votes are the same as other states since Nigeria does not have an electoral college. The Constitution says as much with the use of the conjunction "And".

But you are not ready to learn. You want to keep holding on to your erroneous interpretation so that you could shout that you were cheated if Obi's dead case is thrown out the window. Just the same way I had to correct you on your heading.

This is a legal luminary talking here:

So falana is our new electoral law? Akudaya

Even Fayose brother and his Ronu friends are wailing profusely

Las Las, e go reach everybody. 😂 😂

I will advise Obidients and Igbos in particular, to allow this people, they are on self destruct already.

OredoPikin:
Very useless man
Una never see anything 🤣🤣🤣

Tinubu is just starting

Goan ask those that witnessed his time as governor of Lagos.
The suffering just started

Their Tinubu that built Lagos is struggling to understand how Nigeria works

More Nigerians are calling for Revolution.

Maiyegun joins the call for revolution.

Ronu people, what do you have to say

More reactions

FacilitatorLekk:
All these darn bloggers.

m@d man. Where is the blog?

Deji is calling for Revolution to topple Tinubu's government.

The truth is that nobody is willing to go through another 4yrs of hardship after Buhari's 8yrs of madness

Waiting for Reno Omokri and his Ronu asslicking to come and praise this new level

Ronu people brought in the Duo of Daura President and Iragbiji clown 🤡 that has ruined the country in the past 8years.

Ronu people claims to be wise and educated but Ronu people are bunch of ediots and savages without any graps of how to make money and how economy works

Buddha3:
APC and Tinubu's supporters will be the foundation of the next protests..

And the protest will start in Ronu cities. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This hardship will force some bad eggs to start killing and kidnapping Ronu people.

Obaaderemi2:
How can they say 25 states when fct is not a state? But it's a territory with voters in it. It doesn't mean those voters are more important than others. But they have to consider fct too. That's why it's added behind the 36 states. You should have asked yourself what makes a vote in Abuja more important than your own wherever you voted.

FCT for electoral purposes is seen as an extra state. What makes Abuja taxpayer more important than Lagos taxpayer? It's like saying a voter in Washington DC is more important than one in Maine. I just hope you wouldn't cry when the supreme court throws out this dumb assertion.

you kept qouting non existing law and contradicting yourself. You said FCT for electoral purpose is seen as a state. Which part of the constitution did you read this. Who said so.


You can't be here and there.

It's either you accept that FCT isn't a state, or you say FCT is a state. You can't keep playing smart. FCT becomes state when it pleases you, and when it doesn't please you it isn't a state.

If Abuja is special why is Abuja residents sharing the same Tax , Salaries, NIN , international passport with the rest of Nigerians?
Your likes that speaks of marginalization will be the first to cry Fowl if Abuja residents are given preferential treatments in tax , Gas , PMS, salaries etc. can’t wait for the judiciary to clear your ignorant doubts.

Abuja is equal to every other states it’s shares the electoral college vote of 25% with the rest states if you get 25% in Abuja it’ll added to you . The constitution states all votes are equal including the president. If any vote is special it’ll be that of the president.
Abuja is a state when it comes to elections if Abuja is not a state elections wouldn’t be held there.with all the ranting you couldn’t answer my questions. Just blabbing .

you have missed the point

nicedayontop:
The way these obedients reason sef is out of this world. A mathematics competition is organised by a foreign school to get 25 best students of mathematics in all the secondary schools in the 36 states and the FCT. I was one of the coordinators in Abuja. The 25 best students were gotten through 100 objective mathematics questions administered the same day and time in all the 36 states and the fct. Now, the argument is that if fct has a special status, it would have given a privilege of producing another set of 25 best students of mathematics. In most official statements or documents, it is very common to see the phrase " in all 36 states and the fct" meaning there are 37 entities in the narration.

Your analogy is hogwash.

I will only respond to the bolded.

I have asked earlier in this thread, how many states are in Nigeria.

36 or 37?.

If by your analogy you are saying we have 37 states in Nigeria, how come the framers of the constitution pegs the 2/3 of the states in Nigeria to be 24?. If 2/3 of States in Nigeria is 24, it means states in Nigeria is 36, and that's all we've known since time immemorial.
FCT is not a state, it's Nigeria's sit of power.

The electoral law says you must win 25% of the votes cast in 24 states and FCT.

The mathematics exam you're using for example, what was the one written in Abuja tagged?. Federal Capital Territory 'State' exam?.

anonymous1759:
You guys are very funny . What makes Abuja special? Every state in Nigeria including Abuja have the same tax, carry the same NIN, international passport, PVC etc .

If you can answer me this question I’ll be happy if FG decides to sell Petrol at # 65 to only Abuja residents, give out palliatives only to Abuja residents won’t you complain that Abuja citizens are equal to every Nigerian ? then you’ll bring up issues like we pay the same taxes , carry the same International passport etc. That FCT case is not logical at all. If winning FCT alone makes you president there’s no need to hold elections in other states let’s all go to Abuja and vote simple a Nigerian I’ve a right to vote anyway .
Your question has been answered.

you are trying to sound smartly ignorant.

Nobody said only 25% in FCT will give anybody presidency. Obviously you have not been reading from the beginning, only jumped in to talk trash like agbadoist you are.

If Abuja is not special, why not move Aso Rock to your state.

Why not move all the national assets in Abuja to your state since your state and Abuja is equal.

More like saying since all fingers are in the same hand, they must be equal.

famology:
I dare you to point anywhere in the electoral law that says a candidate must get 25perc in Abuja to be declared president. Una go just dey write rubbish

you are the one reading without any comprehension.

The electoral law said Simple majority and 25% of the votes cast in 24 states and FCT.

Obaaderemi2:
You keep shooting yourself to pieces. Thank you for admitting I never said Abuja is a state. Abuja is not a state, that's why it has a minister of the fct and not governor. As a matter of fact Abuja is inside the fct.

We have 36 states in Nigeria but we also have people living in the fct and they vote too. Their votes also count but not more important than those of Osun, Imo or Edo. So we are not just going to say 25% in 2/3 of 36 states because Fct also has voters. So the Constitution just said 25% in at least 24 states alAND Fct. In this case fct is regarded as a state.

If this is the argument you obi supporters are basing your hope on, you have lost again. Maybe you should use the argument that Tinubu changed his name from Amoda Ogunlere to Bola Tinubu, if it's not too late.

No sir, you are the one shooting yourself to pieces.

You have agreed with me that Nigeria has 36 states and that's why the framers of the constitution said you must have 25% in 24 states, which is 2/3 of 36 AND FCT.

FCT if considered a state here, then the framers of the constitution would have said, Simple majority and 25% in 24 states or 25% in 25 States, without laying emphasis on FCT.

FCT isn't considered a state that why it was mentioned. If it were considered a state, it wouldn't have been mentioned.


Yes everybody pays tax in every state, but Not every state is the federal capital territory.

How many states does Nigeria have?

36 or 37 states?.

If 37 states, for electoral convinience, is 2/3 of 37 states 24?. Absolutely no.

Nigeria has 36 states that's why 2/3 of the state is 24.

Hence the framers of our constitution said you ought to win 25% of the total votes cast in 24 states bearing in mind that Nigeria has only 36 states and FCT which has a special status as the capital of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Obaaderemi2:
Did Inec use the word 'including' in its own clause? It says "25% in the 36 states and Abuja. That means Abuja which is not actually a state is considered a state here for electoral purposes. If it says 36 states 'including' Abuja, that means Abuja is already with the 36 states. But it wasn't stated that way. This case is clear but to deluded obi supporters.

The way you stated yours is completely different. And again, not all courses at the University requires mathematics.

I've asked you here before but you refused to answer, where in the electoral act or constitution is it written that Abuja in that case is considered a state?.
I asked you that question earlier but you ignored it.

You just contradicted yourself. You said Abuja is NOT ACTUALLY A STATE , but you want us treat Abuja as a state for your convenience.

I will ask you a simple and straight question, how many states does Nigeria have?. 36 or 37?.

If you say 37, then Abuja is a state, and you have to tell me who is the governor of Abuja and the state assembly members.

If you say 36, then Abuja isn't a state, but Nigeria's sit of power, the capital city, and hence,
If you want to preside over Nigeria, you ought to have simple majority, and win 25% in 2/3 of the states of the federation and Abuja.

SpatialKing:
Exactly, wining Abuja is completely unnecessary and not mandatory...

But just score 25% of the votes that's all...

Why was it so difficult for Tinubu to achieve?

Tinubu couldn't achieve it because greater percentage of Abuja residents, are enlightened, Wise and intelligent, not his regular agberos in Ibadan and Some parts of southwest

Gringory Obi & his Master Abubakar Atiku, no get case, Dead On Arrival (DOA).

Keep deceiving yourself, when the Supreme Court of Nigeria affirms same, you will resume your full blown Biafra agitation.

I unlike you and your cotravellers, I'm law abiding citizen. I will abide by the ruling of both PEPT and Supreme Court, which ever ways the ruling goes, the most important thing is even our Judiciary is on trial. INEC is being stripped bear body by the international community, the judiciary will also face same should they bungle justice on the alter of man-knows-man. If the ruling goes my way, I hope imps like you should as well excercise restrain and maintain peace?. We are aware Tinubu is already plotting anarchy should he be removed, but we will give him the Gbagbo treatment

Obaaderemi2:
You are the one masturbating on your own ignorance.

I'd loved you point out what my ignorance is

Obaaderemi2:
Your subject under discussion is based on technicalities to start with.
Another thing is that the way JAMB states o'level requirements is totally different from the way Inec stated the Abuja 25% clause. And it's more vastly different from the way you've stated yours which is totally mischievous.

post how jamb States there's. At least we've had an English teacher here post how it's stated for SSCE and we've analysed it. Read the posts of @illicit.

But I must tell you for free, English and Mathematics are compulsory for SSCE, NECO, and even GCE(Not sure if it's still invoke), NABTEB.

favor914:
But Nigeria begins & ends in your 25% utopia almighty Abuja?

Mumurist Obidient.

I'm not the one that is making you to cry, it's the constitution, you should cry to those who framed it

illicit:


I teach English Language
I didn't even vote lol

voting or not is within your confines, nobody is going to prosecute you for that, but for purpose of clearity, you've answered my question

Obaaderemi2:
Oku, the law itself dwells on technicalities. Olodo

I've corrected what you are masturbating on, deal with it
