APC Still Get Hope

The apex court ordered that the runner-up candidate be sworn in if he fulfils the constitutional requirement of getting one quarter of the total votes cast in at least two-third of the local government areas of the state.

Here is the analysis:

Total votes cast: 810,782
APC: 534,541 votes
PDP: 189,452 votes

So PDP must get 202,696 to earn governor seat of Zamfara state.

��� PDP Never Again

If the Apex court held that the runner up should be sworn if he has 1/4 of total votes cast in at least 2/3 of the LGAs in Zamfara; then the votes required by PDP cannot be up to 202696 as you stated because your computation was based on 100% LGAs and not 2/3rd of the LGAs as stipulated by law.

I have a serious issue with the accounting and auditing departments of Covenant University management.

We're they not auditing and reconciling accounts within those years?

If you investigate properly, you will discover that this fraud involves a lot of management staff. I don't believe the VC.

Sadly, a lot of auditing and accounting staff are not able to pick these malfeasances especially in a computer based accounting system.

Auditing various ledgers and checking them against various source documents could have exposed this.

most of you don’t even understand what really happened,this has nothing to do with Tram or coke!!The drug is not planted in your original luggage,another luggage is registered in your name by the cartel and that is were you have the drugs!!!once the luggage is lucky to bypass immigration in Saudi,there are people ready to pick it up!!!Hope you understand now?what Nigerian immigration has to do was check the time luggage was registered and if there is a security cam,check and pick up whoever did it!!!

This should help to clear the air a bit.

If he manages that feat, he'll have earned a slot in the Arsenal hall of fame.

Arsenal 3 - Valencia 1

Aystarz:
Laca is on fireeee in the Europa oo. I this rate, dude could, singlehandedly, win the cup for Arsenal.

If Laca does that it would be mad fun.

COYG. Arsenal 2: Valencia 1. Game on.

SEONaijaExpert:
I see Ambode working hard to divide Fashola's portfolio as minister.

He would probably take minister for works.

I thought a state can only have 1 minister. Perhaps, they can make Ambode a minister of state or make him head of a MDA

do u know in the next 10yrs or more, we will start having yahoo boys rule this nation?....

what we are experiencing now about our political leaders will be a joke compare to then, the earlier we face this issue of corruption on the root the better...

the youth are the future, with our youth calling yahoo legit and only source of living, tell me what the future will look like

The emphasized part of your post has been disturbing me for some years now. As a matter of fact some of these yahoo yahoo people are already in government. Nigerians can't see the impending doom if this menace is not curbed now.

Budex40:
Still doesnt make sense to me. Our Local Markets arent affected by dollar hike, rather they affected by fuel price.Dont let these thieving Traders fool u. The idea of selling a bag of garri for cheaper is evidence. Garri is far cheaper than most staples.Up north , u'd even buy a bag of sweet potatoes for 2k. I still buy meat for #100, #200 here in the North.
In Lagos, i cant buy meat for #300. Na we dey do ourselves

Most of the inflation in Nigeria is self induced because of over-profiteering. Take for instance, a food-seller who ordinarily would have made about 20% gain if he sells a measure of item for #400 would decide to rig the system to favor himself would sell the same at #700 believing that he is smart. All the buyers of his products/ services would reflect his rigged cost in their own pricing to make more profit or even play smarter and the cycle goes on and on. The way Nigerians create artificial inflation is the way they create artificial traffic jams; most times it is initiated by someone who thinks he/ she is smarter than the rest and the problem spirals out of control.

A piece of advice to us all: Do not just inflate the price of your products/ services just because you can or because your customer is not any wiser; if you do, the market will correct that anomaly be making every other person pay more and we will be here blaming OBJ, GEJ and PMB.

The market is more intelligent than everybody - if you attempt to cheat it, there will be consequences.

P.S There will be times when increasing prices of your products is genuinely justified.

TiredOfFighting:
Was looking for one smart person who noticed, since first to comment was gone

The shorts and other female apparels found on the cultist do not necessarily belong to this set of victims

austink1:
Not a bad take.. But my question to you is this... Do these 'so called sars men' look like men on uniform?? Show me their jacket.. The other one is even wearing a nika... Like wtf, where did we offend God in this country??

We offend God everyday with the way most Nigerians think. Remove all the police officers in this country and recruit the ones complaining now and see how they will transform into bigger monsters. It is not a Police issue, it is a Nigerian problem.

A typical Nigerian doesn't know how to manage power without misusing it.

Sharp guy.. U try oo with this ur critical analysis of Lagos transport fares.. Anyways I stay I Oregun, d between ojot and ikeja, from ojota to Oregun is #50 while from ojota to ikeja is #100 sometimes #150.. I don't where u entered ojota to ikeja #500 On this planet earth.

He was talking about bike from Ojota to Oregun and not buses.

donbenie:
I beg to differ,every player,every stroker has his Pros and Cons,

You said he only converts 50% of his chances,

Have you ever wondered how he gets so many chances and other strikers don't ?

It's because of his great positional play..

So,if he only converts half of the chances that he gets,

The fact that he actually gets in position for such opportunities should not be discountenanced..

At the end of the day,

He ends up scoring a bucket full of goals every season..

He scored 10 goals in 13 games in his first half season with Arsenal and is currently second on the Goals log with 18..

Every Striker has his attributes,

He may not be the most physically imposing nor the most intelligent Striker out there,

But his positional play is second to none and at the end of the day,

He scores a whole lot of goals for ANY club he plays for..

Quite an intelligent contribution. Why are the other EPL players not getting into position to get the opportunities that Auba gets?

ExcelDeBaron:
Is that all you have to say? Are you people no longer checking names?


This has finally put to the Grave the very myopic idea and notion that "IGBOS PUSH DRUGS AND ITS EXCLUSIVE TO THEM". Look at that list very well. Its full of names from the West and the North. You can see that some Nigerians have crime embedded in there DNA and its not an Igbo thing. Go to Sahara reporters page and see some Yorubas there pretending to be preachers. Many are saying "Things are hard under Buhari and we have to survive"..... "Crime is not a tribal thing". Hypocrisy raised to power 100!

Oh.... I now understand why the Federal government is pushing for there release. Because its not an exclusive list of Igbos? What about Igbos in prison in Thailand? South Africa? Malaysia? Nigerians can now see that we are our own enemies. While we are here battling
ourselves and imploding, our brothers out there are on death row! To be executed with huge matchetes! Does the matchete know Hausa? Does the Matchete know Yoruba? Does the matchete know Igbo? The Matchete only knows " USELESS NIGERIANS COMING TO OUR COUNTRY TO SPOIL IT. I WILL CUT THERE HEAD." Let me repeat it again... "ITS DEATH BY BEHEADING. THERE HEAD WILL BE DECAPITATED AND SEPARATED FROM THERE BODIES!"

Last but not Least (Coz I have a lot to say); " WHERE IS THAT USELESS AND HEARTLESS WOMAN CALLED ABIKE DABIRI? A CRIMINAL AND SHAMELESS WOMAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT SHE IS A MINISTER AND SHOULD BE PROMOTING PEACE! She was the first person to publish the names of Igbos on a platter of gold on Twitter. Why has she gone numb on this one? Oh... I remember vividly... These ones are Humans and not destroying our nation. Igbos are the evil ones and should be executed!!

But I do know there are sensible Hausas, Yorubas and other tribes who sees beyond tribe and know that its a national shame. I know because I have met them. God bless the people of Nigeria. I won't say God bless Nigeria because I don't like this country. This is a jungle and not a nation.

Nigeria is not a jungle because it is only a mere geographical expression; it does not have a mind of its own. It is what Nigerians make of Nigeria that we would all enjoy so you can not blame Nigeria as a country for the acts of omission or commissions of Nigerians. If Nigeria must be great, every Nigerian must play his or her part well.

abbasajao:
There is no need for that judgment again. God has judged the case for us

Judgement in this case is very important to set a judicial precedence. Even if the present crop of defectors from both sides of the divide can't be stopped anymore, it would help our democracy going forward.

FortuneDeGreat:
Lol, she's a full blooded Yoruba from Ogbomosho in Oyo state, both parents are Yoruba, she was born and raised here in Lagos.

Truth be told, tribalism is a wild wind that blows no one good, I have long time jettisoned that epidemic and I'm living freely like the wind.

I judge people based on the contents and compositions of their character not by their tribal or religious affiliations.

Lastly, most times, the faults which mostly disturb us about others are very strongly marked in us and causes annoyance to our neighbors.

If you live piously, hardly will you pay more attention to base men of contemptuous attitudes.

Examine yourself!

What a beautiful clapback. There is hope for Nigeria and Nigerians.

BruncleZuma:
The extra incentives were not there in beginning, just a tarnished reputation.

Nope. These are standard incentives and they haven't being reviewed. I think Onoghen wants to avoid further scrutiny which is a wise thing to do because majority of the benchers in this country cannot withstand critical financial scrutiny.

BruncleZuma:
I would leave Nairaland for that amount and benefits ...this is not an APC or Buhari win. He collected more than was claimed he did not declare.

But why didn't he resign before now? He knew what he stood to gain if he resigned.

amaniro:
1bn for fish? we really don't know what our problem is in this country.

Considering that Nigerians spent about $1 billion on importation of fish in 2018, this looks like a step in the right direction.

If the cost structure of the import expenditure of $1 billion is further interrogated, we can arrive at something like:

Profit: $200 million @ 20%
Feed: $400 million @ 40%
Other expenses: $200 million @20%
Labour: $200 million @20%

The direct and indirect economic benefits of N1.2 billion investment in local fish production cannot be overstated, provided that the fund is judiciously managed.

Pascopele:
Professors from universities who would collect bribe, demand sex to award marks are the ones we are trusting with our electoral processes. I am sure if Professor Akindele of the OAU sex scandal was not dismissed, he would have been named a Returning officer by INEC. Shame!

This is serious food for thought.

ruddyman500:
i honestly think so bro but i dont want to rush into taking rash decisions cos i know myself very well i do stand by any decision i make and nobody can change my mind on it

You don't have to make rash decisions but you can draw the lines and set the limits firmly. Tell her what the consequences might be if she crosses the line beforehand.

From your narrative, she possibly have seen that you would always shift ground as you have always done, anytime she prodded you.

sonofElElyon:
Thank you bro. He is in addition, a citizen of Canada!

Sure. I know him too well. May God rest his lovely soul. Amen.

sonofElElyon:
Can you please do your findings and speak factually instead of making your opinion fact? Investigate the veracity or otherwise. There is a place for discretion and if the professor is seen as very valuable to Canada, and his mum was indeed wrongly denies a visa thrice, then based on discretionary powers, I don't see this as an impossibility.

Some folks don't understand how the intellect of a man can open seemingly unimpregnable brass doors!

Richdad50:
Not all Professors are smart. Believe me! Not all your lecturers had common sense. Both phenomenom (smart and common sense)is open to both the poor and rich, schooled and non schooled, professors and artisans. It is never given freely from school as a degree. It is inert but also learned.

Alma mater;

University of Sokoto
Wolfson College, Cambridge
University of Oxford
Cambridge Commonwealth Trust

However, he is still devoid of 'applicable' smartness.
I celebrate every normal hardworking person on the street, walking with incredible wisdom and common sense but without the platform to apply it. Knowing fully well if given the oppurtunity of responsibility, will do outrageously better than Prof. Mamood Yakubu. You know yourself.

Richdad

Anyone would assume that they could do better than the INEC Chairman, if given the opportunity. However the INEC Chairman's job is not an easy or enviable one with the odds stacked against him heavily as a result of a number of factors: the intrigues and desperation of politicians and the penchant of party faithfuls to do anything to win at any cost regardless of the wishes of the people as well as the ease with which INEC ad-hoc staff can be bought - given that they are Nigerians with proclivities for quick enrichment.

priceaction:
Is not as bad as how they portrait it bro. 4 years ago was terrible than this, that's when I thought things would have gone uncontrollable, but here we are, the truth is that they are also fighting for their own interest. Countries may have thousands of grade A foreign investors but still, not be able to survive if economic crises happens.

Nigeria has not even had serious minded investors; majority of them are just portfolio investors with their Nigeria criminal counterparts.

sarrki:
We all seek for better Nigeria , in different ways

God bless you my brother

Hello bro. Are you still unveiling? Lol

humberjade:
Unfortunately for PDP, even if INEC chooses to cancel the entire votes cast for APC in Yobe, Borno, and Zamfara, add them to those of PDP, and even restore the said nos of valid cancelled votes from Plateau, FCT, Kogi and Nasarawa states APC will still be leading with over a 100,000 votes, so what's their deal?

Bro i tire o.

oloyedayo:
But his performance against yaradua then was not that good.

Buhari's performance against Yar'adua then was not good because:

1. All the instruments of state were deployed by OBJ
2. There were no PVCs hence it was easier to manipulate election then
3. His late brother's (Musa Yar'adua) political machinery (PDM) was still very potent
4. His brother's death in detention, under controversial circumstances, got him the sympathy of the power brokers

Nasige:
The very day PDP picked Atiku as their presidential candidate, that was the day they lost it, Atiku is not a match for Buhari any day any time.

This is the truth. Why they picked Atiku baffles me.

Amarabae:
Chai bye bye saraki,
EFCC must be dusting his file now

You are a very wicked somebody. Lol.

dhuthraki:
The problem is AMAC and Bwari Council area. These council areas are the most populated, about 65% igbos. They came out in Mass and gave Atiku 100% of their votes. So, until those areas are announced, it's not yet uhuru for PMB.

By the way, I'm a Buharist, so you can be sure I'm being objective.

I have no cause to doubt your objectivity even if you are not a Buharist.
