Vado2: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? |
Vado2: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. |
Vado2: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. |
[left][/left] derealj:Read very well and you will see the difference. |
Vado2:"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? |
Vado2: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. |
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. |
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! |
AtikuOkowa:Hmm... |
Pierocash:I really hope so. |
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. |

Someone kissing a dead man? That's no wisdom. RIP to the legend. |
Lazy boys everywhere. Instead of him to use the same data and learn programming that will change his life, he's busy accruing curses upon his life. What a life! |
Dshocker:Alright. Thanks. |
Dshocker:I have my taste and I know what I want, so stop dreaming for me. Thanks. |
Dshocker:So building or buying house in Lagos na child's play to you? Well, I am trusting God for 2023? |
Angelawhite:Lolz |
This rule does not apply in Lagos though. My annual rent is just 20% of a month salary. |
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. To the genuine helpers, please help her family if you're convinced and have verified. Thanks. |
dmdmdm:Amen! |
dmdmdm:I just sent you 5k. Use it to buy food for your baby. God will change your situation and open great doors for your family soon. |
Please chiefs in the house, which brand and capacity is the best for me that will comfortable carry fridge and pumping machine. I really want to get one this week as NEPA is currently fucking up in my street. I look forward to your guide. Thanks. |
Crvrider:I do PHP/Javascript |
Fedrick100: |
This is nothing but the truth. It takes consistent learning and persistent self building before you hammer. Unfortunately, many give up too early. I got two foreign jobs this year and everything changed suddenly after 4 years of coding for local coys. Nothing like earning in dollars while in 9ja. ![]() Don't give up if you choose the path. |
BrownIsaac:Mode of application? |
Lolz |
If the job aligns with your career path, just give the 2 years as sacrifice for career growth. 6 months to the end of the said years, start applying for bigger jobs and your light shall shine! |
Amazing |
Emmanuel950:Please, how do you link your Grey account to Payoneer account? What did you write as the bank name? |
