It's rather shameful that the proponents of the "25% FCT, not necessary" school of thought, have no counter when it comes down to the math needed to prove their position.

I guess their position isn't tenable then, and it's quite clear to see.

Still no legitimate counter to this basic math

Brendaniel:
Abuja is a capital not a state, Nigeria itself is also a state and its capital is Abuja...

I had already taken what you said into consideration, hence the calculation with 37

Great141:
You ve made a big mistake

Still no clarification

Great141:
You ve made a big mistake

can you clarify ?

The math checks out when you interpret this correctly like it was intended.

The math starts to fail, when you interpret this wrongly.

People are now arguing that two-thirds of 36 states and FCT means two thirds of 37 and not two-thirds in 36 plus one.

They claim that since the FCT is not a state, the statement about the 36 states and FCT in the constitution, was the only way to capture the entire region of the country.

Their promulgated equation is now :-

---

Nigeria = 36 States + FCT

---

Which gives 37 DISTINCT ENTITIES

However, Entities, whether states or FCT are INTEGERS and not Fractions, rational or otherwise.

With this in mind, it then becomes perplexing interpreting the result after computing the calculation :- 2/3 X 37 = 24.66666666666667

What then is the 0.66666666666667 approx. 0.7 State or Territory?

Is that 0.7 of Lagos, Anambra, or Kano boundary that must be cordoned off, and circumscribed for an election

Doesn't really add up, does it The math!

However (2/3 X 36) + 1, results in an integer, in-line with the rule that States/Territory are whole and distinct, not fractionated.

Dear Nairaland Community,

We are currently searching for a dedicated individual with the following qualifications to moderate our Politics section and effectively manage conflicts and disruptions:

If you know someone who would be an ideal candidate, or if you believe you are the right person for this role, kindly recommend and advocate for your choice.

Best regards.

Hi Seun, I hope this email reaches you well.

I have been a member of this platform for almost a decade now, and I believe I have what it takes to dispassionately moderate the politics section.

Under my moderation, there would be zero tolerance for tribal slurs, but tribal competition may be allowed, depending on your views, to foster speedy development.

Being a member of this site for a while, I know how annoying it is for topics to get derailed and quickly too, due to uncouth members, trolls, tribal supremacists and a deluge of other characters.

My first suggestion to you would be to upgrade the way hidden comments are viewed. Instead of the current view of empty containers, I believe those comments should be wiped out entirely from the comments stack and the css layout viewable to the user. This further takes away distractions, as members aren't seeing a host of hidden comment stacks, taking up unnecessary space.

Fairness and Justice will be my watch words, never suppressing views based on political ideology, gender or ethnic identity.

Most importantly, I will ensure to stay behind the scenes so as not to give the impression of being prejudice or the like.

Thank you for your consideration and have a wonderful day.

Only in Nigeria, your car will break down, you will be depressed and sad, wondering how you will get the car back home...


Then somebody will now come and be like "Boss, anything for me?"

Like...

You see me struggling to fix my car

You see me in a sad mood

You see me running helter-skelter

Why then do you believe that I will be in the best position to give you money

I don't understand how some Nigerians reason men

It's not just once, it happens all the time.

No sympathy, nothing!

These are the kind of people that will rob a dead or nearly dying person involved in an accident.



I still can't wrap my head around this, "anything for me", like Neeegah, GTF outta here bish, can't you see what I'm going through?

Unreal

How can this mans business be so clouded in mystery, yet his wealth is so patently obscene

What is Tinubus Job that afforded him 100 million naira form for APC Presidency

How is he able to donate 50 million here and that million there

How is he able to own PRIVATE JETS



This is the lifestyle of a SUPER ROCK STAR, or POPULAR BUSINESS CEO with a POPULAR BUSINESS

Even Wall Street big boys don't OWN PRIVATE JETS, except the top Wall Street Bosses.

Racoon:
This President have always been a failure who so much glorify his failures that he lowers the bar of bad governance. There is nothing Buhari got right throughout the 8 years of his catastrophic reign.

Ordinary to talk to citizens, he couldn't. Yet the same hypocritical Nigerians would have the guts to even have an opinion on someone like TRUMP that was seemingly in front of the media, daily.

Remember when the north or so flooded recently, he didn't even say a word and went to FRANCE.

The Demons in Nigeria are happy that they have now replaced him with a Bigger Demon, ONE with 2 Horns, named BULABA!

If you even see that one, once a year, be happy.

Yes na, just like BLADE, they are now DAY-WALKERS

Thugging, Stealing, Maiming, in broad daylight

A WHOLE PRESIDENT

NAIJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Who do UNA

This man had to travel all the way to obodo oyibo America, before he realized that the roasted corn he munches on can be used to make CORNflakes, chai!

I'm sure when they told him, he was like, "KiloDAAAAY No, NO, NO, im-possi-BLAAAAYYY"

I think what happened ehn, is that BULABA spent his whole life calling CORN, AGBADO, so he didn't even know a word like "CORN" existed. So when the explained it to him, his translator was like, "Ehn na, na AGBADO dem dey call CORN for here"

Chai!

Wailing is a term used by AGBADO DEMONS

They claim to love the tears of suffering Nigerians

So whenever you complain of obvious problems in Nigeria, like no water and electricity, they call you a WAILER

They want you miserable and dejected, impecunious and morose

God will help us rise above the DEMONS, and he will wipe away our tears and bless us and others through us.

DO NOT BE DISMAYED

owolabi5:
