PoliticsRe: The 25% Simple Analogy by TechGallery: 6:58am On Mar 25, 2023
Vado2:
English language and mathematics are not more superior subjects, they are core subjects, just as F.C.T. is a core territory that must be won before you can be sworn in as president regardless of whether you get 99% of the votes cast in the 36 states of the federation.

If get you get 99% of all the votes in the 36 states of the federation and not get 25% in FCT you can’t be declared winner as stated by the constitution, doesn’t that make it a core territory, just like English and Mathematics??
English and Mathematics are compulsory subjects which make them more valuable and important than all other subjects. For you to be admitted, you MUST pass the two. Every other subject is optional as long as you can have three additional credits in any of the rest, you can get admitted even if you aren't given your desired course to study. But in the case of the election, there is no law that makes FCT or its residents more important than any of the 36 States. If FCT is more important, then while conducting election there on the same date with the rest of the states?

Like the FCT, English language and mathematics are not subjects that are more superior than others. To advance to the next level, you must pass this core subjects, just as you must receive a minimum of 25% in the FCT to be declared the election's winner.
English and Mathematics are core subjects, more important subjects, for the University admissions or exams in Nigeria but FCT is not a core state or more important than any other state. That is the difference. At least no constitution states that.

The constitution says “There shall be 36 states and the FCT. @Techgallery, what do you understand by that statement??
It means we have 36 states and the FCT. It does not connote that residents of the FCT carry more electoral value or weight than the residents of Anambra or Kano.

Read very well and you will see the difference.
PoliticsRe: The 25% Simple Analogy by TechGallery: 10:00pm On Mar 24, 2023
Vado2:
Given that it has already been established that the FCT is not a state and that the constitution calls for 25% in the 2/3rd number of states AND FCT, which asserts that obtaining a 25% in the FCT + 2/3rd of all the states (which FCT is not a part of ) is a requirement before you can be declared as a president.
"He/she must secure not less than 25% of the votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the states of the federation and the FCT"

Let's break the above down again. If the statement means "25% in two-thirds of 36 States and 25% in the FCT", can we deduce the below statement by that logic?

"25% in two-thirds of the 36 States and 25% in two-thirds of the FCT"?

Is it safe to arrive at the above logic from the statement without minding if FCT is just one location or not?
PoliticsRe: The 25% Simple Analogy by TechGallery: 9:33pm On Mar 24, 2023
Vado2:
The Constitution makes it quite explicit that you need to receive 25% in 2/3rd number of states AND the Federal Capital Territory, which emphasizes the significance.

The President chooses a minister-level administrator because He, the president doubles as the de facto governor of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In an SSCE result, the FCT is just as unique as English or mathematics. It doesn't matter how many A’s you obtain; if you receive an F9 in English or Mathematics, you must retake the full examination; the same applies here.
Like I said, there is no provision or law that declares FCT as superior to any state of the federation. The FCT and the people living there are normal people. The only factor that can make Abuja unique in this parlance is if all the inhabitants are delegates from each state of the federation.

There is difference between "25% from 2/3 of the states and the FCT" and "25% from 2/3 of the states and 25% of the FCT" or "25% from 2/3 of the states, and the FCT".

If emphasis must be placed on the English usage here, only the second and third statements make FCT outright must-have but the first statement will be interpreted as an optional state since no constitution made FCT more important than other states in Nigeria.
PoliticsRe: The 25% Simple Analogy by TechGallery: 9:08pm On Mar 24, 2023
What then happens if a candidate wins all the 36 States but can't get 25% from FCT? A rerun? How? So the whole country will start election all over again in all the 36 States because of the failure of getting 25% from FCT? The law must be insane to have such interpretation. If rerun is declared from court, that means a popular candidate from FCT can contest tomorrow for the position of president just to cause stalemate in the election. As long as he can win 80% votes from Abuja, it's certain the first election will be cancelled and rerun declared every time such case repeats itself in the future. There is no logic in that.

Comparing this to WAEC exam instruction also cannot work. It is stated clearly by the examination and admission bodies that English and Mathematics are more important subjects to all students unlike this election case. There is no where in Nigeria Constitution that states FCT is more important than other states of the federation. No amendment attaches priority or preference to FCT.

I am very sure this point cannot fly in court. It is just unnecessary political "misyarn" from the concerned parties.
PoliticsRe: Tinubu Must Score 25% In FCT To Be Declared Winner -Former Attorney General Says by TechGallery: 6:23pm On Mar 05, 2023
So in an election between A and B. If A wins all the 36 States but did not have 25% in FCT, A cannot be declared winner because A doesn't have 25% in FCT? The law must be daft to reason this way. If such happens, B will just continue winning FCT and ensure A doesn't meet the 25% required in FCT. That means the whole system will end in stalemate forever. The only logical sense the law can portray is what INEC has done. If you have 25% in 23 states, the FCT can be used as your 24th state if you have the required 25% there. So simple!

There is not going to be a rerun. Obi will clear the vote with landslide.

I really hope so.
PoliticsPossible Outcome Of Tomorrow Election by TechGallery(op): 8:53am On Feb 24, 2023
This election will be very competitive and looks very unpredictable. But from my point of view,

1) I think Atiku will comfortably get 25% votes from more than 25 states. He will get it from all Nothern states, South-south, at least 3 South-East and and at least 4 South-West states. He might even win Osun State as he did in the last election. Atiku might be the eventual winner of the election.

2) Obi will surely do well in both South-East and South-South states. He will get 80% votes from South-East and at least 60% from South-South. He will also get 25% from Plateau, Kaduna, Benue convincingly. He will surely get at least 30% from Lagos. The biggest possible challenge for him will be getting 25% in 24 states, though not totally impossible. If the South-East and South-South come out enmass to vote, he might be able to raise 8-12M votes across board. If he does, he might garnered the highest votes eventually which will lead him to be part of the rerun.

3) Tinubu will also do well in the South-West and get 25% from almost all the Northern states. He might get it also from Imo, Rivers, Cross-River and Akwa Ibom states. He will be able to get 25% from 24 States but he may not be able to get the highest votes count. The only factor left for Tinubu or Atiku to win is if they get the highest votes count while Obi needs to get highest votes count and 25% of total votes from 24 States. Any candidate who does not get the highest votes count and 25% of total votes from 24 States cannot be part of the rerun even if he comes second in the first election.

So, the only reason rerun can take place is if Peter Obi gets the highest votes count but cannot get 25% in 24 states. If he doesn't, I doubt there will be rerun in this election.

Above all, this election will spring up surprises. There may not be straight winners from the first election and if there is rerun between Atiku and Tinubu, Atiku will win because both South-East and South-South will back him for the rerun.

So you guys should stop betting. Just watch out for the election and see it as fun.
PoliticsRe: Election Is 2 Days Away, Any Coward Obidient Ready To Accept My Bet Challenge? by TechGallery:
Trollronaldo:
omo Iya, make I advice you. Before you bet.

Don't underestimate Obi. He will not lose on Saturday. This election is going to a rerun. I will give you reasons.

1. None of the candidates can get 25% in 24 states tommorow. If anyone does, that person may not likely get the popularity votes, which means a rerun.

2. Obi is most likely to secure the popularity votes because he is the only candidate with two major regions on the lockdown for him. He will get massive votes in southsouth and southeast.

3. The north will be shared, although Atiku will win there. It won't still be enough to cancel the votes Obi will amass from southeast and southsouth (where he will get block votes), in northcentral and sothwest. Lagos alone will give Obi huge votes. Don't bank on northern votes, it won't really decide the winner this time.

4. Northern Christians are voting against Muslims. It means that Obi is going to clear states like Benue, Plateau, Taraba that are hugely populated by Christians and get votes in Gombe, Adamawa and nasarawa.
5. Kwankwaso is in the race, he's going to steal votes from Asiwaju and Atiku in the north. This will Favour Obi


Obi may not win on Saturday but he's the candidate that will get the highest vote that will send him to a rerun. That means you already lost the bet.

Think about it carefully before wasting your money, omo iya MI. If after this advice, you still feel like he can't, then go on.

Underrate Peter Obi at your peril. Don't be a stubborn fly that follows the corpse to the grave.
This election will be very competitive and looks very unpredictable. But from your points,

1) I think Atiku will comfortably get 25% votes from more than 25 states. He will get it from all Nothern states, South-south, at least 3 South-East and and at least 4 South-West states.

If your annual rent is 20% of your monthly income, it means you are supposed to raise a minimum of N5m-N10m in 6 months.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Should I Report To My Boss? by TechGallery: 12:57pm On Nov 17, 2022
I suspect that guy to be IT inclined, that's why he could get two jobs even as a corp member. If you report him and he's sent off from your company, don't be surprised he will resume in another company next week to replace your company. His ability to get two jobs at the same time shows that he has invested a lot in himself-he is an asset. I will just advise you to mind your business provided he does what responsibility your company gave him. Leave the reporting to his line manager.
Just like myself, I work for two different foreign companies from home here in 9ja and my jobs in those coys are not affected. I am even working on adding another one. It's all about productivity and delivery.

I will advise you to work on yourself as well so that no company will see you as a liability but an asset.

I repeat, leave that guy alone.

You guys should thread carefully before you force people into depression or to early grave. If anyone calls for help and you're convinced to help, go ahead and respond accordingly. On the other hand if you feel the cry looks scammy, just ignore. I understand there is high possibility of scams but then, it's better to ignore than to label somebody a scammer when you haven't verified him/her. I rendered the little help I could just because I desired to help. Even if it turned out to be scam, that does not stop God from blessing me in return. "Give and it shall come back to you" is the principle. While we do everything to forestall scams on the platform, we should also be careful so that we won't be killing people with our utterances just because we have phones.

To anyone using the platform to scam others, you're just sowing a seed of pains and regrets into your future.
