premium times lead is 12.5 k for adeleke. It will be close but who knows. I think whoever wins tried but with the margins. I will say most likely rigged.

Iamoilprince:
Trust APC and their rigging method. PDP is rly resisting

pdp may win if they don't rig it. It depends on the APC votes of Osogbo and Olorunda

boriswole:
So far

that is similar to what I am getting

flowmama:
Based on the 18 Local Government results so far

PDP is leading with 177,183
APC is second with 143,473


Not interested in third...

my premium times difference is 22k with adeleke leading

MrJanuzaj:
But APC just won in Ejigbo

That was a surprise. I hope they are not rigging the results. Ejigbo ward votes were all over the place with no clear lead

keeeem:
Let's see how it goes. Abeg on what station are you guys watching this? TVC and Channels are not showing anything

I am using premium time LGA results. From 15 lga's adeleke is leading by 14k

keeeem:
The problem with most of you guys is that you don't wait for final results to be collated. These areas being released are dancing Senator's holds. By the time the other results are released, you guys will now start screaming that election was rigged. Don't be sore losers

That is my problem with this election, the media and the politicians from both parties are playing a game. You leave out results from all the key local governments only boripe and ede. Elections are not hard to predict if all results trickle around the same time. But here it seems they are managing the release. If APC beats PDP by 25k in Osogbo and Olorunda. They will win.If the margin is like 10 k they may loose.

I am using them to calculate, Adeleke is leading by 18k from the results on their website.

dammiecool:
Wao looking good but still close, considering d results from Ife axis

Right now I have Adeleke leading by 20k from 11 local governments including edo north and south.

Zlatimi:
Bro apc is loosing in his strong holds, Iwo LGA is for Adeoti while IFE is btw omisore and adeleke

What I said is I don't know, I checked ward results and not many are showing from those LGA's. The battle is between APC and PDP votes not about who leads in each local government. It is the total votes.

Awaiting results for 24 local govs.

To me still not a key LGA result.

Godjone:
The APC must be warned in other not to temper with these results. I see Ademola going home with the crown.
PDP---------------power

Actually, I think APC will win. The results coming out look to be managed. that means key lga's are still not coming out, I checked ward's result and many from those lga's are not out. watch out for Osogbo, Olorunda, Ife central, ife east, ilesa east, and Iwo. The other's will cancel each other, apart from Ede, the difference between APC and PDP will be in the thousands minus those local governments I mentioned. Which ever between APC or PDP win those votes in the LGAs wins. I think, APC knows or managing results from those areas.

AllTheWayUp:
Una go wail tire

Sarrki don knack all the whole APC apako

And this is my problem with the country, we have embraced the dirty side of manipulation, Saraki must never return to the senate. The sad thing is that, another man the deputy senate is there who is a little bit more open even though he may be corrupt but his faculty is used for thinking about how to develop the country not 419 calculations. I suspected Daura is the one initiating this based on his own intelligence but Saraki would have been informed about before Daura makes his move. And Daura moves look like it was influenced by military thinking not caring which side falls, the ultimate beneficiary is the military. I am just saying, IBB or even Danjuma may be aware about all this moves.

isn't it time we move on from this abacha pr. It can only come from people who benefited from the government. Abacha's government was obviously stale and depressing. His performance was obviously poor like many of his predecessors. The sad thing about this crap is the miseducation of Nigerians. Through part or no fault of his, Nigeria's economic and business circle was going into a precipice in 1993 and finally rock in 1994. Many people suddenly became poor and industries crashed. Abacha saving or stealing was the wrong move and few benefited while many people and institutions did not recover. Nepa and water supply was bad but became worse in the 90's and since then it never recovered. Industries were suffering but many finally crashed and never recovered. It was no really his fault but culmination of continuous misgovernance. But he never did anything to change the nation-s direction for better. The most stupid thing he ever did was planning to lead the nation without thought. He was corrupt and probably below reasonable level of intelligence.

Deji63:
I hope he has not forgotten to resign as Mines and Steel Minister. Blood polithievecians.

He is a disappointment as a minister, I don't know what he did or he is doing there, probably just signing documents. Maybe the governorship was always his target.

jamace:
Well, that section is clear enough that the IGP can be summoned by the NASS except our lawyers have special interest to make it ambiguous.

the truth is that it is not clear, the only wording supporting them is inefficiencies and others relate to waste or misuse of funds. Why I said it is because that constitution was a military imposed constitution and there are some ppl who believe it needs many adjustments. I see some even writing America, they know little about there country. The constitution is not perfect and has never been perfect. I can honestly tell you that the word inefficiency is ambiguous out of the four reasons given, three are about corruption or waste.

jamace:
Thank you my brother for the good job.

The NASS can invite the IGP based on the constitution. See section 88 (2)(b)

Falana should apologize to Nigerians for his goof

Actually, you guys do not understand how the law can be interpreted. Falana wrote “The only other occasion where a public officer can be summoned by the National Assembly is when proceedings are ongoing to expose corruption (Section 88) and when a law is being debated either with a view to amending it or to have a new law entirely.”

He interpreted that section to mean when the legislature is investigating corruption. To be honest, that section is ambiguous and it will be left to a court to determine the limitations of a summons. Both side can interpret it as they wish. A strict interpretation will likely result in what Falana said and loose interpretation may favor the senate.

samzzycash:
or the new york police headquarters that cost below #15b

A major difference is the construction period will be 2 or three years. The client will pay on time and the construction interest rates are 3-7% annually. In Nigeria, the construction period is 8 years, government will not pay on time and will never pay you the full amount and the interest rates are 20-25% annually.

NwaliE01:
24billion This is super expensive

The project went through different stages, the last I remember, years ago was 17 billion. However, there are different factors that make government jobs inflated and I am not speaking of corruption. Government has a notoriety for not paying 100% of a contract sum. The calculation is 70%. The second issue contractors use is the cost of borrowing money. Because of government's screwed up accounting, contractors budget the cost of borrowing money to complete projects, in Nigeria construction loan can be 20-25% annually. So when people do business with government, projects are marked up to 100%. It it not the fault of the contractor, if you ask Julius berger, government probably is still owning them money for contract 20 years ago. In the company I used to work for that is what they do because the federal government had never paid them 100% before and the pay were staggered over years, even sometimes three years after completion of the project. So to a businessman, he borrowed money at high rates to complete a project and not expected to see full payment after the project is completed, then the cost of doing business goes up naturally. The money might sound a lot but because the government may not pay them 100% contract sum and the loans used to complete the project you should not be surprised if the profit margin is less than 15%

revolt:
Isn't this the one that invented bribery for contracts by government. He brought Julius berger by earning kickbacks from bribes on federal contracts. Im sure bulk of Nigerian youths don't even know the man. He was killed cos of his super influence and wealth, plus corruption. Think he was the first massively corrupt public officer. Pls if u don't know history don't quote me to talk nonsense.

Most likely but there were also some secretive ones. Okotie Eboh most or the family lost some wealth after his death. Supposedly one of major businessman in the 1970s got his start as Okotie's front. Another potential one is JMJ, another silent guy. Balewa was never the boss, Bello was the boss, Balewa knew what was going on but Bello wanted them to stay for political reasons.

I discussed a similar issue with a foreigner. One issue is value, we place too much value on our interest so when we enter into any form of exchange, we have to find a way to extract the most value or gain at the expense of any other party or parties. If we want to sell the preferred way is to sell the cheapest at a considerable higher price or sell quality good at a ridiculous price beyond the benefit to the buyer. A contractor or government employee job is to provide the most gain to his interest greater than the value to the job or the public. An employer is to pay the lower wage and extract a higher benefit. We are in a circle of seeking to extract the most gain by providing little.

Rossikk:
Shell quarters? You expect ordinary Nigerians' homes to be all decked out like Shell quarters and embassies?

Sometimes i wonder why I bother. Please tell us how much Shell allocates to the maintenance of those quarters for the few people there annually, and multiply the amount by 200 million Nigerians, and see if the amount makes sense, for lawns and gardens.

I REPEAT THIS FACT: In Europe, the US and other temperate regions, you don't actually have to plant any grass. Grass grows fulsomely on its own everywhere. Your only job is to trim it!! All you need is a lawn mower!

How dare you say that that is ''the same'' as in Nigeria? You people should please stop this nonsense. In Nigeria if you want a nice looking lawn, you are paying PROPER MONEY for it. Why else do people prefer to pave their entire compounds? You think they don't like gardens?

Do you people actually realise that African soil in general is among the worst on earth in terms of its fertility? If not the worst. We have his myth in Africa that our land is so fertile. That is a view borne of complete ignorance of the reality. Do the research. It's actually one of the historical reasons for poverty on the continent. In Africa, more people are required to engage in farming to yield enough food for the surrounding population, than anywhere else on earth, due to the soil issues. This has traditionally limited the number of people available to excel in other endeavours - a major historical reason for low industrialisation levels.

don't fall into this type of thinking. It is called research and caring for the environment. We like statism or the devil I know is better. A lot of countries do not even use indigenous grasses. you can find grasses suitable for most regions with adequate rainfall. Actually almost all parts of the world have fauna. In the north there are plants that will flourish. Actually there are two major plants if maintained will stop desertification in the most arid regions because they do not need much water. Your leaders know this but we are what I call organic and fresh, we do too little tinkering with things.

Rossikk:
It is EXPENSIVE and highly time consuming to maintain a lawn in Nigeria. Look, you can have issues with Naija, but just leave this one out of it. Our climate does not support it. Look how hard we struggle to keep even stadium grass level. You think it's because we don't know how to water grass? It's because of the climate, dude. I think these days they import special grass seedlings for those stadia which is why they look much better nowadays.

not as expensive we are just not into trying new things constantly. There are grasses that could be planted and the major cost is a lawn mower but we prefer concrete.OAU had grasses planted in most surroundings for a long time.

The sad thing is the article came out a while ago and ppl are now saying it is the best article read this year.

Go and ask George Fiddes, Charles Strachey, Lord Lugard, Reginald Antrobus and Lewis Harcourt

TheHistorian:
Even the ivory tower where you will expect a corruption decorum has turned to a den of looting rogues who compete in financial misappropriation with Political Office holders

The universities have been corrupt since the 1970s, starting in the mid to late 1970s. A lot of the universities then became federally owned and the so-called council headed by pro-chancellor were mostly federally selected ex-politicians. The council awarded most of the major contracts in concert with the VC. The lecturers did not make noise because they were fairly paid.

There could be a contaminated drug being passed around.

Unongo can be a rabble rouser sometimes, but a point of correction, his relevance was minimal in the fight for independence. Two, his thoughts are confusing, he said Awolowo was the strongman of Yoruba politics and at the same time, he said Awo was unknown by many Yoruba people. Third, people never considered the issue that Zik who was the party leader mishandled the politics of the Western region, NCNC had good support in most cities but they were less relevant in the small towns and villages, a lot of NCNC leaders in the west came from city elites. even in 1950, NCNC still had a sizable support in Shagamu and Ikenne, Awo's base, I think up to 1949, the area was majority NCNC. NCNC lost the election because they taught they deserved to be voted instead of fighting for votes, they easily could have won the west. AG's campaign aroused the interest of those in the villages, small towns and those who felt that their position in life will rise as a result of AG's policies. It is because Nigeria's intellectual discourse is rigged by tribalism is what led a lot to believe Zik was a great leader, he was likely not, Ahmadu Bello dusted him in leadership qualities(motivating the ppl to vote for party) and Awo dusted him in the west.

On tribalism, I think Zik lost because he was not in control of the Ibadan politicians.

abescom:
I am a big Buhari loyalist but your question is an interesting one. The head of DSS should have gone since the whole Magu nonsense started.

If he is not sacked after this report then we are in a big mess. Saraki is like the president of the country now not just that of the senate.

It came late to realise that Buhari may have some disabilities, he seems to be one of those idiot savants that are good in one thing are just thoroughly deficient in other things. In politics, he is week, he screwed up his party to bring in his friends who are not party people, so you have Kingibe as one of the anonymous consultants of this administration. Osinbajo was considered capable but was sidelined, the foreign press have noted that he is getting subpar advice from his friends but he refused to listen. Saraki got in through the backdoor with this same group, they are just the old politicians of yore whose leadership is based on loose coalition of self interests, it is not about the people, ideology or doing anything worthwhile is it about power and access to power and the potential it could have on them(proven) and their region(game of thrones never helped any region).

Geography Department was under the Faculty of arts and Social Sciences offering the degree of B.A (Honours) and B.Sc (Honours) in geography respectively. Presently, the department is under the Faculty Science offering only B.Sc in Geography. Apart from the undergraduate degree, the department offers Postgraduate Diplomas in GIS and Rural Development respectively and Masters of Science in Geography, GIS, Transport Management, Population and Demographic studies, Rural Development and Environmental Management respectively. We also offer Ph.D in Geography and Rural Development.

From my research it was under Arts in 2000 and changed around 2003

Nigerians are very funny, I have read some baseless arguments online about how Bachelor of Arts appeared on Dino melaye's certificate while BSc in on ABU's website, but trust Nigerians don't do their research work well before they post jargons... Lets educate ourselves

History of the Department of Geography at ABU ZARIA

The Department of Geography, Ahmadu Bello University started on September 26th 1962 using the classrooms formerly used in teaching ‘A’ Level Geography at the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology. The first two lecturers were M.B. Thorp and M. Mortimore from Liverpool and Leeds respectively. Prof H.A. Moisley joined the Department as the first Professor of Geography in 1963 from the University of Glasgow and was later joined by P.N. Hore as a Senior Lecturer with a Ph.D from the University of London. By the time the first class of undergraduates moved into part III of the degree programme in October 1964, there were four academic staff in the department.

The staff strength has grown to 26 academic staff, 6 technologists, 3 library staff, 7 secretarial staff and a driver.

The Departmental Library is the largest Geography Departmental Library in the country. The Department also has a comprehensive map Library.

Staff-Student relation is friendly and undergraduates run the socially and academically active National Association of Geography Students (NAGS), A.B.U Chapter.

An issue is that Punch stated that their investigations showed that when he graduated it was in Science. It depends on who is right.
