Nigeria has moved on, while zombies are still looking for mandate to steal.

tishbite42:
Lol
Tinubu still under OBJ's shadow

You mean it was OBJ that approved their candidacy and not Tinubu who has decided how he wants to structure his party and government?

Bullionaire:
Wither your vain, hateful and wicked tribal comments.


Shame on you.

Tribal comment on a Yoruba matter?

You thought I would be wailing that APC lost to PDP? That an Oyetola lost to an Adeleke?

Are you forgetting that your type already grouped both parties as the same, but canonized those that failed in both parties only to reappear under LP?

The shame is on you who support an INEC declared winner in Osun but reject an INEC declared winner at the national stage.

Like I said, life goes on.

I was trying to help Throwback understand, but he seems more concerned with winning an argument.
AND is a member of the FANBOY club. Throwback should go and read up on FANBOY.

What he's implying is Oxford commas, but he doesn't know.

It's as simple as this: Tunde and Aisha are going to school.

Throwback shot himself in the foot. There's no comma, so therefore the constitution is referring to two separate things, not one combined together.

Case 1: 25% or more in 2/3 of (all states and FCT).

Case 2: 25% or more in 2/3 of (all states), and (FCT)

Case 1 means Tinubu has no business securing 25% in FCT particularly.

Case 2 means Tinubu needs to secure 25% in FCT particularly.

Luckily for Tinubu, Case 1 is what is in the constitution.

Case closed.


Everyone knows Nigeria is composed of all the 36 states and FCT (37 component units in total)

That is the catchment area from which 2/3 is required.

Newton2024:
The constitution is simple to understand. It is riggers who are relying on "technicalities'' that are the ones deliberately confusing us. And is compulsory, or is optional. The constitution uses and which is a conjunction or intersection.

The And is only there because Nigeria is all states and FCT.

That is the totality of Nigeria's geographical composition.

So 2/3 of Nigeria is 2/3 of 36 States and FCT.

If the rule separately applied to the FCT, there will be a comma before the And

raskymonojendor:
The constitution was brilliantly written. It was written in the days when someone with a form 6 speaks and writes better English than the current crops of Nigerian graduates.

It's clear and concise enough. Problem is that a lot of recent graduates do not understand English grammar, comprehension and technical communications well enough.

Exactly!

Do not mind the illiterates.

ganisucks:
Wrong. A comma before AND is an Oxford comma. Oxford commas are simply for fancy. Whether you put a comma or not, the conjunction AND satisfies the function. AND is the conjunction, not the comma.

Also Nigeria is a big man country. Our law givers always like inputing the maths and English credits clause in most of our laws. They borrowed this thinking from the British: the masters of class and levels.

Know book before you disgrace yourself.

The comma before the AND would have meant the FCT was independent of all the states of the federation. The effect is that the rule of 25% in 2/3 would apply to all the states of the federation, and separately apply to FCT.

Without the comma, the and is only reminding that Nigeria is made up of all the states (36 of them) and FCT.

Nigeria is always referred to since 1996, as 36 States and FCT.

That is the totality of Nigeria that serves as the catchment area where the rule of 25% of 2/3 applies.

iSense247:
Throwback just like his fellows are irredeemable. No amount of understanding can give him a iota of understanding. It's deliberate.

Olodo want to teach me English.

muykem:
Sacrifice for president election petition and bad precedent for opposition party.

Exactly!

Peter Obi fit stumble again ooo with this news.

Anyone around Obi should please clear his path of any trip hazard.

Odin13:
PDP!!

Power to the people


where those APC Yoruba folks..

They are busy rejoicing knowing same affirmation is set for Tinubu's victory.

No way for any mandate thief that lost election.

Life goes on.

Foolish logic.

Nigeria is composed of 36 States and FCT as a totality.

Securing minimum of 25% in 2/3 of Nigeria is equal to 2/3 of 36 States and FCT.

FCT has to be called separately since it is not a state, but it is part of Nigeria from which the 2/3 must be met.

Your logic is only right if there was a comma sign (,) before the AND, then it would mean the rule applies to 36 States and separately applies to FCT.

Without the comma sign the rule applies to the totality of Nigeria, and Nigeria is composed of 36 States and FCT.

There was no OR intended, and FCT is not also separate from the totality of Nigeria as the catchment area.

Even a primary school pupil knows that since 1996 when the last 6 states were created, Nigeria is defined as being composed of 36 States and FCT.

Did Tinubu score 25% or more beyond 2/3 of the components of Nigeria that serve as the catchment area, which is 36 States and FCT?

Yes he did with 30 States, remaining only 6 States and FCT.

Case closed!

Ok

Delusions of mandate theives who could not win a democratic national election like Tinubu did.

coputa:
Million likes for ADELEKE, the enemies of OSUN STATE should let this man be,he is the peoples choice.

Like Tinubu is the national people's choice, but the mandate thief Peter Obi has insisted he must be allowed to steal what he could not win.

Any outcome, life will go on.

kingslj:
What is this one saying?

That those who have no integrity or respect for the process, cannot be expected to bring about any radical change.

DMerciful:
You think we are here to play? Supreme Fraud better behave or else!

You are crying over spilt milk.

Where you playing on 25th Feb, when you could not measure up beyond 15 States and FCT.

He use Obi reach court wey pass magistrate court.

Guy man no lose las las.

But Andy is still living in bondage.

helinues:
Bro, they can't.

So we better face the reality and know how to tame them.

They can't milk a cow but they wouldn't mind to kick a barrel of milk away

Just disregard them like the Trumpist MAGA were disregarded in the USA.

And if they attempt any violent insurrection against the democratic choice of the people, shoot them down as was done by the USA.

kingsways:
You are too too dull if you are just knowing

ON BEHALF OF ALL THE OBIDIENTS, I WANT TO INFORM YOU WE WILL NEVER ACCEPT ANY JUDGEMENT EXCEPT WE WIN

Why didn't you win on the 25th February?

Or is it 15 States and FCT that would lead to a win?

Even Obi was begging for votes via religious warfare a day to the election, to underscore his recognition of the impending failure.

The failure did come.

DMerciful:
The Supreme Fraud Court will be respected if it doesn't give Lawan-type judgment

You just confirmed the argument of the OP.

When a man has a legacy that can speak for him, he learns to keep quiet and watch his victory unfold.

Many of us who followed politics and governance since the 90's, bore witness to Tinubu's capacity to deliver in a multicultural Nigeria.

It is no one's fault that you do not remember Tinubu had a manifesto that was widely circulated and defended on many media and public events.

The problem is that you believed your own lie too much.

You believed he is a terminally sick invalid.
You believed he is a drug dealer.
You believed he has no certificate.
You believed he did not work in the places he claimed.
You believed he would be disgraced in the APC primary.
You believed the North would betray him.
You believed he would lose the election.

All because you put your hope on a fraudulent political prostitute and desperate ticket hunter who was not academically sound, nor did he grow the economy of his state as well as his predecessor or successor.

You caused your own delusion that lead to your eventual agony, so now you despair.

He as a member of the 10th senate, should advise Iwuanyanwu to embrace the same weight loss regime he employed.

That is the only sane demand all Igbos should make from the 10th Senate.

caesymore:
The Kind of Senseless politics our politicians play in this country is quit appalling and here OP is applauding the senseless politics that is all about giving out positions not because of competence in position but just to payback for favor being owed, that's more of nepotism.

I told my friend and I made it clear that if Obi wins a lot of people will be disappointed owing to the fact that he will be all about giving positions to someone able to deliver on the Job and not about paying you back with a juicy position which you can't handle just on the grounds that you supported him.
And that's how it should be, as its all about a better Nigeria and not about an Individuals ego or pocket and until we see it this way there can never be a better Nigeria.

Can Nigeria ever be better with political prostitution and ticket hunting as perpetrated by Obi and Baba-Ahmed?

Okwyjesus:
This Yoruba govt of bigotry is just starting.

Their color will soon come out.

Igbo lamentations after defeat of Igbo by Yoruba.

What a shame.

He is that fraud who managed to decieve even the elect.

Zikojukwu:
Why are Igbos desperate. They're desperate to bribe INEC? They're desperate to die in aso rock that the dying drug demon who wears pampers and pees everywhere? How are Igbos desperate? Shut the trap if you have nothing to say.

You are shamelessly desperate.

You and your ticket hunting illegitimate candidate who is stuck on 15 states and FCT, but suffers a delusion that he was voted by Nigerians.

Zikojukwu:
So it's a lie now?

Epitomise the desperation of the Igbos.

There is no opposition, just the usual empty igbosition to Southern progress.

[quote author=Felabrity post=122990813][/quote]What does a primary loser have in common with an election loser?

Answer: Both finshed 3rd. Both are losers in the 3rd degree.

Massiveglory:
Una sure say inauguration go hold?

You thought your obidient WhatsApp group delusions is a national problem?

It is your group problem and rehabilitation is far from you.

Felabrity:
Certificate that will be returned.

You mean Obi's GCE certificate?

Zombies and delusions, like bread and butter.
