Election petition Tribunal things grin grin grin grin

Make all the dust settle finish, then we go ask Wike how far. AS for now, he can sleep with one eye open

As for all those wey don dey quote me just to abuse me, know that the videos of the 'elections' in Rivers with wide scale rigging clearly going on and the testimonies of accredited international observers are all the tribunal is going to need to unseat that criminal. And i heard the figures were cooked so badly that even a primary one child can tell it was fake. So all of you GEJ/PEJ supporters should not worry, the courts are coming for Wike grin grin grin
My brother,sentiments aside and truth be told,Rivers people voted overwhelmingly for Wike.Though there was widespread violence in certain areas,that would not have affected the outcome of the election in any way.If angels had come down to conduct the elction under the calmest and most peaceful circumstances,Wike would still have won massively.From what I gathered,it seems the people of Rivers state really want to do away with anything associated with Rotimi Amaechi.I see Wike triumphing in any fair and unbiased tribunal
PoliticsRe: TINUBU Hijacks NASS Positions; Oyegun, Others Kick- The Capital.ng by TexasR: 8:26pm On Apr 20, 2015
OilGas:
Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is leaving no one in doubt that he calls the shots in the party as he has penciled down his key men to lead the new National Assembly, NASS, to be inaugurated early June.
With the party’s power sharing formula, Tinubu has positioned his men to takeover available positions zoned to the regions. APC zoned the Senate Presidency to the North-Central, Speakership to the South-West, Tinubu’s region, which also produced the Vice President, the Secretary to Government of the Federation, SGF to the South-East and the Senate Majority Leader to the South-West.
Going by the zoning arrangement, the battle on how to fill the vacancies has started in earnest with Tinubu said to have lined up three strong contenders to take over the leadership of the 8th NASS.
He is alleged to be backing Senator George Akume, former Benue State Governor and long time political ally from the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN to be the Senate President.
In the same vein, Tinubu is backing Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, his political protégé to take over as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, while at the same time positioning his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to be the Senate Majority Leader.
Though he is said to be facing stiff opposition from those backers of Senator Bukola Saraki, mainly from the party’s governors, Nigerian Pilot learnt that he is playing a religious card in pushing the candidature of Akume and Gbajabiamila.
Tinubu’s argument, it was gathered, is that if Saraki is allowed to be Senate President, and Hon. Gbajabiamila becomes the Speaker, it would open the party to criticisms given the fact that the President-elect is a Muslim and both Saraki and Gbajabiamila are also Muslims.
According to Tinubu’s argument, the religious balancing would come only when the Senate president is a Christian and the natural choice is Akume.
The former Lagos governor also allegedly blackmailed Saraki’s backers with a case of N21billion preferred against the former governor of Kwara State by the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police. He purportedly told them that the party cannot be championing anti-corruption and at the same time promoting someone who has such a “dirty” case still hanging on his neck. This, according to insiders, has ruffled many feathers in the APC hierarchy with many afraid the party may slide into a one-man show.
The zoning of Speakership to the South-West, it is understood, has caused a friction between Tinubu and Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the party’s national chairman, who had passionately pleaded that the party zone the slot to the South-South in order for his preferred candidate, Mr. Pally Iriase, from Edo State to get the office. For all Odigie-Oyegun’s pleas, Tinubu reminded him how he also went against the wishes of many and installed him as the APC chairman.
With the Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo being Tinubu’s ally, Odigie-Oyegun’s argument is that it would amount to unexplainable greed for the party to allow Tinubu to also take the Speakership slot.
However, Tinubu is understood to have stood his ground, threatening to throw the Speakership position open to contest, a position he well understands he would have upper hand because of the number of House of Representatives members from the South-West as compared to Odigie-Oyegun’s South-South.
If Tinubu bulldozes his way through as he is bent on doing, it means that he would have been responsible for three of the four most powerful positions in Nigeria. He singlehandedly nominated the vice president-elect.
Meanwhile, the zoning of the SGF to the South-East has opened a fresh battle on who succeeds Chief Anyim Pius Anyim between Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and Dr. Chris Ngige, all former governors and eminently qualified for the office.
Insiders in the party are favouring Onu, arguing that he is more of a stabiliser, tilting towards a technocrat than Ngige who is seen as an everyday politician.
Onu’s maturity and for the fact that he comes from the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP wing of the APC, may stand him in good stead ahead of Ngige who comes from the ACN wing of the party. ANPP has not really benefitted much in terms of sharing positions in the party and if it is still denied this, it may cause great disaffection in the party.

Onyejiuwaokoh:
I think we should start to ignore some of these self acclaimed prophets who don't know the difference between speculations,gazing and predictions. Why are they always located in Lagos? does it mean that there is no soul to be won for God in Yobe or Maiduguri. All of them economically choose Lagos where rich and big men live. We have not recovered from the previous prophecy made by another prophet in Lagos last month who said that God told him that Rochas and Fashola will rule Nigeria next year. But neither Rochas nor Fashola is contesting now , so l don't know how they will become the president and vice. My father and my God, people have insulted and degraded your name oh Lord in the name of prophets and pastors but do not turn against your people because of this wickedness and deception Amen.
Exactly.
Of the whole lot of false prophets in Nigeria today,I think this so-called primate Olabayo is the most notorious and he is the one that comes out every year to tell lies.Has he no shamehuhsince his so-called prophecies have never come to pass,does he not have the good sense to stop already?

PoliticsRe: Lagos APC Aspirants Set For Gov Primaries by TexasR: 9:21am On Dec 02, 2014
okon11:
In anticipation of the much awaited December 3 gubernatorial primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, campaigns are in top gear in all parts of the state for aspirants hoping to woo delegates.
With the decision of the party hierarchy to allow for free and fair primaries, aspirants are out to test their popularity in the race, which has no fewer than 10 aspirants.
Some of the aspirants include former Accountant-General of the state, Akinwunmi Ambode, Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Obafemi Hamzat, Speaker of the House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, serving senator, Ganiyu Solomon, and former Commissioner for Health, Leke Pitan.
Others are former Attorney-General of the state, Supo Sasore, former Commissioner for Special Duties, Tola Kasali, Tayo Ayinde, Tokunbo Wahab and Adetokunbo Tobun-Agbesanwa, the only female aspirant in the race.
It had been alleged before now that Ambode was the 'anointed' candidate of the APC to fly the party's flag in the February 28 governorship election, but this did not go down well with other aspirants and their supporters who threatened to embark on protests.
There were also indications last week that Sasore, who recently declared his intention to run for the election, may spring a surprise at the primary. Sasore is alleged to have the backing of Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola.
Solomon's bid has also received a boost as two aspirants stepped down for him to emerge as consensus candidate from Ikorodu Division.
Solomon is banking on his grassroots popularity to clinch the ticket.
Hamzat, on his part, is said to be relying on his experience, which has seen him work closely with former governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as Fashola.
Meanwhile, the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) upstaging the APC in Lagos in the governorship election took a dip on Saturday as six stalwarts of the party defected to the APC with thousands of their supporters.
Among them are former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Rafiu Jafojo, and former chairman of the Nigeria Medical Association in the state, Abayomi Finnih, as well as Tunde Daramola, a former financial secretary of the PDP in the state, Mrs. Oluwole, Alhaji Okanlawon and Segun Adeyemi.

Ralphlauren: dont be so quick to blame just omoniles and estate agents. unscrupulous LAWYERS are also a big part of the problem facing nigeria's property market. i will not be surprised if some of the people that have been affected by the demoltion had the property transaction handled by lawyers

so many people have had their hands burnt by lawyers. a lawyer's job is basically preparing a lease, any required legal paperwork and resolving any legal disputes. however, these days, you find a lot of lawyers selling and letting property. is that part of the curriculum in nigeria's law school huh lawyers want to pocket legal fee and at the same time pocket agency fee, management fee and fee from the sale of a property.

i personally will never buy or rent any property from any third party except he or she is A REGISTERED ESTATE SURVEYOR AND VALUER.
Quite on point

@Lawyer
Much as you have a point in advising people to always verify the authenticity of any property they intend to put their money in,please be very specific when you advice them to pay "professionals",who are the professionals you refer to? with your ad clips and with what obtains in Nigeria,most uninformed intending property owners would think you are referring to lawyers.I once had a client,who while sketching his proposed building,I was advising him on the need to observe the required set backs and all that,there was this lawyer of his who was telling him that it wasn't necessary,that developers don't always observe set backs blah blah blah.I quickly shot him down and told him that he was over-stepping his bounds and venturing into territories that he was not competent to speak on.
Truth be told,from that experience and others,I can safely say that lawyers,in their greed to collect agency and management fees as well as commissions from sales of property have ended up usurping the duties of professionals like estate surveyors/valuers,as well as engineers and given calamitous advice to property owners which has put a lot of them in the predicament we're seeing on this thread.
