[quote author=rtdCivilservant post=122648125]I am one of the most Liberal Nigerian alive. For ur information, I am Igbo, I may not like Tinubu, but that doesn't mean I should now twist clear narratives cos of hatred. [/quote
Is the broad day fraud carried out on 25th of February what you called "clear narrative"? Open thuggery, intimidation and all manner of violent activities are all what you also called "clear narrative". Please be guided in your thoughts my dear. A man that every information about him are deceptive is also what you call "clear narrative". If the process through which INEC declared him winner was legitimate, Nigeria and Nigerians would have being in the same spirit with him. Imagine a situation where a winner was declared and the entire country was thrown into mourning. Since the inception of this current republic, tell me one president who has ever lost Lagos and Abuja in any presidential election. That's to tell you how much Nigerians detest APC and Tinubu. The Constitution is very clear as to what is required to be declared winner in any presidential contest. Please kindly have a re-think on your so called "clear narrative"
rtdCivilservant: I believe u brought this cos of the confused interpretation by some on what the electoral law stipulates. From what u posted, it is obvious the territory is not a state, if it were a state u would have have correctly said 37 states... Why do we allow simple English to get us confused? For example, let's use a class of 9 boys and 1 girl. I may say for u to emerge the class-rep, two-thirds of the 9 boys and the girl must be willing to give u half portions of their daily meal. Now this does not mean that for anyone to emerge, they must get two-third of half the daily meals of the 9 boys and half the daily meal of the only girl. A girl is not a boy, so u don't expect me to say 10 boys, that is where the AND comes in. The right interpretation be same as if I assume the only girl is a boy and say two-third of 10 boys or two-thirds of the 10 students. In the case of our country, "AND" there shouldn't confuse anyone, it is only so cos FCT is not a state and that is the only way of accommodating the entity (FCT) into the grammatical expression.
adenigga: Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has advocated for the presidency to go to the southeast region to heal from the wounds of the civil war. Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Monday, Soyinka suggested that the presidency going to the southeast will help to “rewrite the history.”
He said: “It is not just about reconstruction, it is also about rewriting of history.
“We believe that to close the circle of negativity that we have embarked on before and during the civil war, I believe, the presidency, as soon as possible, should go towards the eastern region which lost a war.
“This is one of the ways to heal the wounds of the nation – that is a principle and philosophy.”
According to the playwright, none of the leading presidential candidates in the just-concluded polls provided a believable agenda for restructuring, hence, he did not endorse anyone.
Soyinka said: “In fact, one of the reasons I refused to endorse any candidate is because none of the candidates addressed the things closest to my heart, like again, reconstructing the nation.
“I did not see any genuine commitment, any believable agenda about restructuring, decentralization of Nigeria which is at the heart of the problem for me at the moment.
“People were more concerned with just aiming for power.”
Zico5: When will Peter Obi drop his claim back mantra and congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu. If he is waiting for Obidients or court verdict, he will wait till eternity. That's the bitter truth.
Abia residents sing songs of liberation as they gather at the state collation centre this morning, ahead of INEC pronouncement of LP Alex Otti as the winner of the state governorship election. They sing "Pharaoh, we are heading home! We will no longer follow Pharaoh" Ikpeazu and T.A. Orji are bunch of humongous disasters in Abia State.
It was reported yesterday, that INEC staff were held hostage at Obingwa Local Government by Gov. Ikpeazu of PDP to rewrite the results already compiled by INEC officials which shows Alex Otti leading with a wide margin. Residents flooded the collation centre since yesterday in an attempt to avoid any foul move that'd lead to an upturn of LP Alex Otti's victory.
After 24years of bad governance under PDP, Abia state is finally set to be free.
Usa president is waiting for the incoming president, his Excellency Bola Tinubu to attain the position before visiting
Usa next election will soon be around, that's indirect lobbying cos of the migrants votes
Meanwhile, just wait and see how illiterate youths would expose their ignorance on this thread

Critical thinking and evaluation is too far from you.
Don't just type and post because you have small mb.
Study the dynamics of international politics and diplomacy before you talk in public
Serious minded economies like the U.S. don't really consider unserious countries like Nigeria. (please know this today)
What do you expect the U.S. V.P. to come and do or talk in this type of Nigeria we have today? When the U.S. was one of the first many nations that condemned the broad-day-light fraud called presidential election. Ethnicity and tribalism have never helped anyone in this country.
All what we are yearning for is a united and prosperous country where there will be equal opportunities for all and sundry and where power to decide who governs Nigeria will be strictly lie in the hands of the citizens not a flagrant display of political brigandage and money bags democracy that we just saw couple of weeks ago.
Kagawa10: Another useless Ipob thread. Sanwo olu shouldn't go to his church again? Are you Ipob terrorists mad? We've always known that Sanwo, Makinde and Wike are Anglicans na or is it Pentecostal.. I know Sanwo olu has always attended one church like that. Not the first time I've seen him in a church. So why are the useless miscreant crying exactly? So Sanwo olu shouldn't go to his church again? Ipob are senseless! Go and elect your useless Ipob terrorist, chinedu Rhodes in your OSU land! No room for Ipob terrorist in SW!
Don't forget that the people you are insulting are your landlords, landladies and your employers even in your home land.
Don't forget that they came and demolished your fathers' and grand-fathers' mud and delapedated houses and built mansions and accommodated you and your children as tenants.
Dsalvo: If you really love Lagos tokan tokan you will vote Sanwo Olu for continuity and not a completely inexperienced, mediocre and unknown entity with no experience in public administration and no record of excellence in even his professional field.
Guy featured in a Q&A on Nairaland and he is a total dullard, like most of you Obi fans, who could not write English properly.
Yet his obvious unpreparedness for the biggest and most important office in West Africa does not concern you because you Obidullards are all mainly like the vindictive and sadistic women in the clip below. You don't mean well and have sadistic minds.
Sadly for you Chinedu "Gbadebo" does not stand a chance of emerging Lagos Governor. Take that to the bank.
id911: Christians are not minority. While Northern Christians voted overwhelmingly for Peter Obi, Southern Christians betrayed them by voting Muslims tickets.
It's not true.
Gang of political criminals hijacked people's mandate. That's why
MyAmericandream: The matter heavy for mouth. It happened at the deputy governor PU back then. He’s now a governor, I witnessed live rigging. When I heard him say, if my mama wan stop from being the governor of this state I go kill am. Who I be? I just dey do yes sir yes sir like mumu. Some correspondent even showed up to record so ppl we see it free and fair. Few minutes later, they turned off camera and the rigging started….
No amount of rigging will change the reality. And the reality is that Peter Obi is coasting to victory
MyVILLAGEpeople: Which one be boot or booty party again ? I'm currently in Benin and my polling booth is in lag. Everywhere hard if not I would travelled back to lag to vote for Peter Obi.
Don't worry, just be praying for him. Peter Obi will certainly win by God's grace
