I have pasted the group link here and folks said it was not working. I guess a direct dm to their numbers will be better. Just trying to help.

helinues:
So Atiku vs Buhari's judgement was delivered within 8 months?

Obi's supporters should learn how to have a decorum most especially on issues they have no clue about just speculations

Jorussia:
The answer is simple religion is the major cause of his inability to get 25% in FCT.The Christians in Abuja who are d majority overwhelmingly voted for peter obi.BAT and Atiku shared the votes of Muslims, hence d inability of either of them to 25%.

garfield1:
As it stands,ebiras will give bloc whole igalas and okun will share votes.I see an igala flying the flag of either lp,apga or nnpp and getting their votes

garfield1:
Most parts of ajaokuta are ebira.they are also in koton karfe.igalas do not control the 9 lgas in east.bassa,parts of igalamela and omala are not igala

mistilink1:
You now think LP party will win Kogi? The fact is that no matter you guys calculation in this coming election, you all know that APC is far close to winning than any other party. That is why every contestants under the party want to be the flag bearer

Acidosis:
Labour Party has a candidate in Kogi?

od4life:
There are prominent Christians from Kogi State. Maybe you don't just know them.

Musty4ahmed1:
That's not a good excuse,, if he had supported Kabba person and Ebira vote for Kabba it will be a straight win for the candidate. Kabba is like a tripod stand for both Igala and Ebira, Eigher of the two must secure their support to win the Governorship of the State. So why can't Ebira and Kabba team up to produce the first Okun Governor for equity, fairness and justice.

Acidosis:
Say only what you know. Taraba/Plateau has over 80% Christians. In Kogi, Christians are at least 45-50%.

Igala - 45% Christians
Ebira - 30% Christians
Okun - 80% Christians

Acidosis:
....And PDP will simply produce someone from Igala with another Okun deputy.

Sammy07:
Yeah, I think Igala and Okun are at per with population but not landmass

Igala lands is a bit more than Okun, and they have more local government.

In all this Ebiras has the least landmass and population.

And yes, Lokoja is In Okun land, but the instances around lokoja is just unpredictable

The truth is that you do not need a lawyer to file almost all (except a few) cases to uscis if you can read and write.

Please, I want to know my chance of getting I-20 from my school and the chance of getting approved for F1 visa. I am working with my state government and I intend to use them as my sponsor, our monthly subvention is about 18 millions naira and my tuition and living expenses for my masters program is in that region.

The Lagos State government said it has not abolished all Eze Ndigbo titles in the state at present, describing the reports making the rounds as “April fool.”

The clarification came following viral reports on social media on Saturday that the state government has abolished Eze Ndigbo titles in Lagos.

This came on the arrest of Eze Ndigbo, Ajao Estate of the state after releasing a video calling for an invasion of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, into Lagos for the protection of Igbo properties, especially, in markets across the state.

IPOB after being proscribed by a court was designated as a terrorist group.

According to the Eze Ndigbo, Ajao Estate,“We will invite IPOB terrorism to Lagos to protect our properties in Lagos and combat anyone against us. Let my voice go viral.”

Reacting to the abolishment of Nze Ndigbo titles in the state, when contacted, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, debunked it.

Omotoso simply said, “It seems like April fool. Let’s ignore now.”

Meanwhile, the reports going on social media read: “Lagos State Government, LASG abolishes all Eze Ndigbo titles in the State with immediate effect, warns all Lagos State Local Government Chairmen to be at alert.”

Funnyman:
I have been admitted, it was stated that official after admission and I have been struggling to get the transcript since I have been admitted, time is catching up on me.

Funnyman:
please I need advice, my school has requested for wes evaluation report but I am having problem getting it due to naija school wahala. What do you think i can tell my school? Can I loose my admission because of that, i was given until 31st March to send official wes report.

LibertyRep:
Elders shouldn't be making inciting statements like this, especially at this period.

No, Yorubas are not rascals.

fergie001:
The Appeal Court did not place Voters Register above the BVAS, the Court only said it is essential. As long the accreditation process follows both and they are both in our different laws, it is only okay that both go through same process.

It is not just the Court of Appeal saying, it is in our laws in the Evidence Act 2011.

In law, the Primary evidence is of supreme value (it is the best evidence).
1st report - server report given to Oyetola in July (unsynchronised)
2nd report - server report given to Adeleke (unsynchronised)
3rd report - BVAS Machines physically tendered before the Court with all the data in it (PRIMARY DATA)
4th report - Final Synchronisation gotten from (3) above.

The SC will not say otherwise, like I said in the morning as long as server reports are subject to human and network issue, it's a problem... See SC in Wike v Peterside

Again, on what premise did the tribunal ignore the other three reports.

Primary Data.


The BVAS machines were physically tendered before the tribunal and reports accurately submitted by INEC (i.e. 4th report). Oyetola's lawyers didn't challenge it in their final written address.

Whatever data is on the BVAS machine is the primary data, anything that comes out of it, backend server or so is secondary.


There ordinarily shouldn't be, this is what the EC8A (Statement), Voters Register & BVAs is expected to fish out.

Hear Oyetola's expert witness:

Isiaka Olanrewaju testified that he is an expert, who had operated several electronic devices, including BVAS, before, and was aware that an electoral officer might fail to submit the data imputed into the machine or that if the network was bad, the data submitted would not be successful.

Has he not supported the INEC staff's position? Did this witness bolster Oyetola's case?

An expert should be able to furnish the court with scientific analysis that will allow the Court to form its independent judgement otherwise it is valueless and worthless. (SC in Ogiale v. SPDC, 1997)


The Court of Appeal restored the supremacy of the BVAS that's why it based its judgement on a completed and synchronised Report.

SC in Okereke v Umahi (2016) by Justice Chima C Nweze JSC
[u]Furthermore, PW8 an official of INEC who testified on subpoena on the application of the appellant admitted that Exhibit GP45 (the Card Reader Report) was an incomplete document, as data from some polling units had not been uploaded to the INEC data base as at the time the report was made. The document was therefore unreliable and lacking in any evidential value. Again the Tribunal rightly rejected the report and the Court below was right to have affirmed the rejection. On these findings alone, the petition was bound to fail.

It was for these and the more elaborate reasons well marshalled in the lead judgment that I dismissed this appeal and affirmed the decision of the Court below. (This was in 2016)

In this case, the INEC still testified that it was an incomplete document that was handed over to Oyetola, any difference?
The same Justice Nweze will be on the panel, so do you think it will make any difference?

It is improper for a court of law to enter judgment for a party on incomplete and inconclusive facts or evidence. A party ought to place all relevant facts before the court to assist it to arrive at a fair and reasonable conclusion (Justice Okoro in Adim v NBC)

ejimatic:
. Thank you.But did the INEC produce any primary source from the BVAS machines to any of the parties involved in the case? Did INEC lawyer Anababa have a copy of primary data? How do you access the priamry data? PDP only opened one or two machines before the Tribunal ? Is that the primary data? The postion of electoral laws is clear on accreditation through BVAS. There can be manipulation of voters register as witnessed in the past but BVAS will show the real accreditation inputs .No wonder the marriage between BVAS and accreditation is lifelong as described in the Electoral law In my opinion AC has cooked a food it cannot finish. Adeleke was declared winner based on the inputs put into the BVAS. Oyetola accessed the input to prove overrvoting as accessed and produced by INEC ..Which data can we get from just opening the machines twice before the TB as demonstrated by PDP? SC will look into the anomaly.

The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja on Friday set aside the judgement of the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal that annulled the victory of Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party during the July 16, 2022, Osun State governorship election.

The tribunal had annulled Adeleke’s victory and affirmed Gboyega Oyetola of All Progressives Congress as the authentic winner of the poll.

The PUNCH reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission had returned Adeleke as the winner of the poll.

INEC said Adeleke polled 403,371 votes to defeat then-incumbent Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the APC, who got 375,027 votes

But Oyetola and the APC rejected the result of the poll and headed for the tribunal.

In its January 27, 2023 majority verdict, the Justice Tertse Kume-led tribunal annulled Adeleke’s victory and declared Oyetola the winner of the poll.

However, a minority judgment by Justice B. Ogbuli affirmed Adeleke as the winner of the poll.

Displeased, Adeleke and the PDP headed for the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal heard the appeal on March 13 and reserved its judgment.

But the court of Appeal on Friday set aside the tribunal judgement.

Details later…

famology:
Meaning BVAS no get level? Primary source is server. Anyways the most popular candidate won. Adeleke will win the election a million times. Let's see what the supreme court has to say on this.

OAUTemitayo:
I seriously doubt

famology:
You and Fergie dey confuse us🤣

Clevite:
Is this the ruling, or your personal analysis?

Iamgrey5:
Na Labour and PDP teach us this thing

Even at tribunal everyone is claiming they won.

Haba

fergie001:
Congrats to Adeleke.

1. Co-signing does not invalidate the tribunal judgement
2. Payment of fees late for the CTC doesn't either.
3. Adeleke did not forget certificate
