What he did in 1984. Let's see how far he will go this time around.

He has spent four years already and will be re-elected for another term of 4 years

YOLO1:
Good day house.
Please, my girlfriend is having her birthday this month. Aside the normal birthday gift, I would like to get her some books on Family and Marriage. Would like to have some suggestions about nice literatures that covers marriage, family, treatment and understanding of the husband, the children, her role and duties as the wife to be, finances in the family and so on.
Thanks

Men are like boxes while women are like spaghetti

A few days ago, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the Osun State Governorship elections inconclusive. This bold action has triggered all manners of verbal umbrage against the elections Umpire but particularly, the Head of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu. Conspiracy theorists have latched upon this action to vent their anger on a man whose only “sin” was that he was appointed by the current president. But before delving into the Incredulity of judging a man’s character and competence for job through the lenses of his appointing authority, let us dispassionately examine today’s action by the EMB and try to anchor its legality or otherwise against the provisions of the statutes that undergird elections in our land.
First, the Constitution and the Electoral Act made it mandatory on INEC to conduct free, fair and credible elections. To achieve this, the voter is key. His/her vote must count. Protecting the sanctity of the vote is crucial. The entire electoral legal framework is intended to achieve this objective. Responsibilities are assigned, processes and procedures defined and sanctions prescribed all with the intention of achieving that objective.
Specifically Section 153 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) empowers the Commission, in pursuit of the provisions of the Act, to "issue regulations, guidelines, or manuals for the purpose of giving affect to the provisions of this Act and for its administration thereof". Accordingly, INEC has made guidelines and regulations to protect the sanctity of the vote in instances where the processes are disrupted to disenfranchise voters. It is common knowledge that politicians have hijacked ballot papers, chased away voters and disrupted processes and procedures in order to gain unfair advantage.
That is why INEC formulated guidelines and regulations to the effect that where voters are disenfranchised on account of someone's disruptive action, INEC gives such voters another opportunity to vote where their number will make a difference to the outcome of the election. The Commission has been applying this regulation in several elections. So there is nothing new here. This was applied in Governorship elections in Imo (2011 and 2015), Anambra (2013), Taraba (2015), Kogi ,Bayelsa (2015) etc.
Let us take a look at examples of these inconclusive elections.
Case Number (1)
IMO GUBER ELECTIONS 2015
Okorocha( APGA) —-385,671
Ihedioha( PDP) ——-306,142
Margin———79,529
Cancelled votes——-144,715

From the above, it is evident that the margin or victory was lower than the cancelled votes, a number that is enough to alter the balance. The Commission under Professor Attahiru Jega did the needful and promptly declared the elections inconclusive. Take note that my party, the ruling party then hailed the decision and applauded the decision of the INEC, calling it a “patriotic and sound decision “. Of course, APGA kicked against it. A re-run election was scheduled which APGA won. Recall that a similar situation had happened in 2011 in the same IMO between Okorocha and Ikedi Ohakim where INEC had declared the elections inconclusive because elections did not take place in some wards.
Case Number (2)
ANAMBRA SENATORIAL ELECTION 2011
Dora Akunyili( APGA) ——-66,273
Chris Ngige ( ACN) ——65,576
Margin —697
INEC declared the elections inconclusive because elections did not take place in some wards with a voting population that was higher than the margin of victory.
Case Number (3)
KOGI GUBER ELECTION 2015
Abubakar Audu( APC) —-240,867
Wada Idris ( PDP) —199,514
Margin —————41,353
Cancelled votes ———49,953
Again, the margin here was less than the cancellations and was rightly declared inconclusive by Professor Mahmood Yakubu led INEC. The point to note here was that the APC was by this time the ruling party and clearly had a huge lead but Yakubu still refused to budge under pressure by the ruling party to announce it as winner. My party the PDP applauded it.
CASE NUMBER (4)
BAYELSA GUBER ELECTIONS 2015
Dickson ( PDP) ——-105,748
Sylva ( APC)——72,594
Margin ——-33,154
In the case of Bayelsa, a contraption of an election had taken place in Southern Ijaw which had Sylva winning the entire 120,000 votes in that area, but this much maligned Yakubu refused to accept it , declared it inconclusive and ordered a re-run for the number of registered voters were clearly more than the margin of victory. The PDP received this news well and celebrated it.

CASE NUMBER (5)
ANAMBRA GUBER ELECTION 2013
Obiano ( APGA) —174,710
Tony Nwoye ( PDP) —-94,956
Margin——-79,754
Cancelled votes——-113,113
Again the Commission under Jega declared it inconclusive and the PDP celebrated it as a bold move.
I have taken time to outline these numbers to show that even where the margins were wide, and when logic will suggest that the lead would be insurmountable, so long as it is mathematically possible for someone from a losing position to win an election, it was incumbent on the Umpire NOT to declare a winner.

What will be the benefit of Nigerians if fayose do not escape?What have Nigerians benefited for the past 3years of illusionary recovered loots

People in Ekiti are part of Nigerians. So with the Activities of Fayose in governance, they will not benefit anything!

BrokenCock:
is the lousy form that makes dem kill cadets anyhow. If they shd amend it to say their families will b compensated then these dying in training will reduce.

It is like terms and condition. The training there is rigorous and not for feeble hearts. Before applying for the NDA, you most have made up your mind to accept whatsoever comes your way. We have heard so many stories about how some trainees abandoned the training and ran away. It is unfortunate the dude did not make it and no amount of compensation that will bring back a life.

jamaicabakare:
Sad

Nigeria military training no be am, most of those officers in charge of the training are just sad and wicked soul.

The family should sue them, even though it won't bring their son back but it might help.

The NDA cannot be sued because before entry, there is a form an applicant and family would sign that if eventually any thing like death happens to the applicant, the school cannot be held responsible.

Bakbillz44:
Please, where else have you seen it... That's a very needful information

EDO and Akwa Ibom State.

Johnnyessence:
for how many years will they used the money for please? we are not a coward here. no one can buy our conscience here. why can't they start their trade moni since the beginning of this year? why? Atigbon ni ipinle osun.

But petty traders in Osun have being besieging the venue of the registration to get themselves registered and you are here shouting etigbon? Bros no kill me with laughter o. The govt is focusing on the ordinary people. Do you know the worth of 10,000 naira to an ordinary petty trader? And if he/she has shown that he can payback in 6 months time, the loan can increase to 50,000 naira. They sure knows how to play the game!

Johnnyessence:
This is the kind of reply that you will be reading when their children are all benefiting from it. I'm highly disappointed from this reply. since 2015, you keep blaming the past administration, still buhari government hasn't achieved half of what good luck Jonathan have achieved in the government. blame calling can't solve issues here.

They did trade Moni in Edo and Akwa Ibom states recently it was not vote buying, but because it is Osun, it has turned to vote buying? No wahala. The money is getting to those that needs them no matter how small bro!

magoo10:
david marks PDP have always proposed restructuring and went further to conduct a national conference in that regards. Right now there is no alternative to restructuring

They ruled for 16 years and never for a day implemented the restructuring they are chanting for now! They know those they can deceive lol.

Binelelyon:
Did we elect President Buhari to be our role model for integrity? I evaluate him the same way I evaluate my plumber. If my pipes get fixed, we’re good.
Maybe am blind but am yet to see something he has fixed better than the other regime.

The social investment programs are there that he is fixing and graduate are not being scammed like during the PDP era! The power situation is getting better in the country gradually! and many more! wooo

Kids Court School, Modupe Johnson for Creche and Montessori and Femi Ayantuga for Primary School. They are situated in Surulere, Lagos.

1. You come to work a second late, they deduct N1000.00 from your salary.

2. Even if you were admitted in the hospital and you eventually resume work with a doctor's report, as soon as it's salary time they mark you absent for those days and deduct your salary for the number of days you were hospitalized. It doesn't matter if you're looking pale when you resume.

3. If you're pregnant and suddenly falls ill while at work, the Deputy Head Teacher will tell you not to step out of the school gate. He'll tell you to manage until closing hour. And if it's glaringly serious that you were eventually rushed to the hospital from the school, the Deputy Head Teacher, marks you absent for the day. That one has transformed himself to a demigod on someone else's business, hurting many people because of N150,000 per month salary.

4. If one is bereaved of a close family member, be it a father, a mother, a brother, or a sister (I am not even talking about Cousins, Nephews or Nieces) and you seek permission to attend the burial, they deduct your salary for the number of days they permitted you to go.

5. Salary is deliberately paid as from 15th of next month. And no one tells you while it can't be paid at least on the last day of the month.

6. As soon as you enter the school gate by 7am (being the school's official resumption time), they lock you inside. You're not allowed to go out again until closing time, unless few teachers who have a class to teach at the 2nd school in Modupe Johnson.

7. And if you're tired of the job, dare sit down to greet the woman or her husband. The law is that no teacher or staff of that school should greet them while sitting. In fact, it's an abomination. She has sacked people because they sat down to greet her, or because they weren't fast enough in doing so.

8. The Director of the School finds so much pleasure in publicly insulting her staff. Just recently on the School's Fun Day, she asked her teachers and staff to go get bin bag each and begin to pick the dirt on field where the event was already taking place, with parents and invited guests watching in awe. Remember field was paid including cost of tidying up the place.

Owing to the demeaning ways she treats her teachers and staff, majority of the Parents no longer have respect for them, except the Management Staff.

9. The Director does not regard anybody below her level as a human being. She's very beautiful but extremely wicked and arrogant. And regrettably, she is a Nigerian! Not a Lebanese.

10. This is to mention a few because there are just too numerous. Many people resume work there and leave immediately after their first salary. Many. It is that bad.

11. Just two cleaners in each of the school. No body working there is expected to sit down.

It is a good school for the pupils, but not for anyone going there to work.

Why not call the woman out.

Whats your take?

No traffic officers on the roads and Market women took over the road at Oyingbo market causing many motorist wasted hours this morning. I left 7up around 0535hrs and got to Alagomeji at 0607hrs from there, it took me 2 hours (0810hrs) to CMS.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, his wife Toyin Saraki, and their daughters look very happy in new family photos recently released.

Toyin Saraki shared with caption:

It will not make Nigerians vote you Saraki! Most of these politicians no get sense at all! Nigerians have out grown all this tactics!

solid3:
And who's going to elect Kingibe as president of Nigeria?

The president just released a press statement yesterday that he was running with Prof. Osibanjo for next year's election

thatigboman:
u have 73 senators to do that?

Well 2/3 "majority" does not translate to 73 senators! Saraki is a goner! He knows!

aolawale025:
Why not just manage saraki same way GEJ managed tambuwal

Saraki will frustrate the Government projects and campaign promises to the people. So the need for him to be kicked out!

tesppidd:
For me,

APC should just be patient.

Saraki' s been there about 3 years and a half.

Just 6 months to go.



Saraki would most likely return as a senator.

But all of this energy would best be dissipated in ensuring he doesn't return as SP.

That's by winning the majority seats in 2019.

And checkmating them senators-elect for any would-be snake in form of another Saraki.

If he remains as Senate President, he will frustrate the govt programs.
