Can you mention one governor presiding that won his state by " 25% "
Going by your assumptions, if the constitution portrays the president as the governor of FCT, does 25% suffice as majority,

if 75% of FCT voted against Tinubu how does getting 25% make him change anything, from all point of logical reasoning. if we must treat FCT seperately i put it to you getting 25% is not enough to be a leader anywhere, 75% is a lot to ignore someone must have misinterpreted the law

democracy is all about majority and that is why we must treat FCT as 37th state to give aggregate that will resonate majority

Lastly, if you maintain the president is the governor of FCT then what does "FCT minister" stand for.

You clearly don't know the Constitution. Even if the presidential candidate has no opponent, he has a certain percentage of vote he must get before pronouncing him the winner. Winning isn't about who has more votes or who won more states, it's about who won according to the Constitution

How can one govern and leave in a place less than 25% voted for you? That is calamity. It shows you're not welcomed even before taking responsibility. This is why it's called an Area Council

PROPHETmichael:


I'm for Peter Obi but stop confusing yourself because the constitution is very clear.

"A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election, he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and must have nothing less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.”


Let me make this simple for you, It's like asking how many states are in Nigeria? The answer usually goes this way, there are 36 states in Nigeria and a federal capital territory.

A candidate is not required to obtain at least 25% of the votes in Abuja to be declared the winner. According to Section 134 (2) of the CFRN 1999, a candidate for the presidency must have the highest number of votes overall and must receive a minimum of 25% of the votes in at least two-thirds of all the states in Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

This means that if a candidate achieves at least 25% of the votes in each of 25 states out of the total 37 states (including Abuja), they would fulfill the constitutional requirement, regardless of whether they obtain 25% of the votes specifically in Abuja.

Therefore, a candidate who secures the highest number of votes and at least 25% of the votes in 25 states does not need to meet the 25% threshold in the FCT Abuja in order to be declared the winner.

So therefore, No Abuja Votes Required.

Oga, Nigeria is made up of 36 States simple! The FCT was defined as the second component of the Constitution. It also went on to discuss the formulation. It was clear on it definition of Abuja as an Area Council which is headed by the president

Throwback:
Stop increasing the potential of your misery.

Tinubu is the President and does not require a single vote in FCT to be validly declared the winner of the election he won.

25% of 2/3 of all states and FCT is the totality of Nigeria, as Nigeria is made up of States and FCT.

Did Tinubu score 25% in 2/3 of that totality of 37 units?

Yes!

Move on with your loss.

Abuja in the Constitution isn't a state. FCT was defined in the Constitution. Please, get your facts right.

Nigeria comprises of two components in the Constitution;
1. The states
2. The FCT. One must get 2/3 of the two components

The Constitution defines the meaning of the states which are 36 while it went forward to define what FCT means. FCT is regarded as an Area Council headed by the President as the governor. So, if you must be the president of the council, 2/3 is the requirement

So, the Constitution isn't wrong to always note state and FCT. They're different entities So, get 2/3 in 24 states and 2/3 of the Area Council which is FCT Or do you win a state as a governor without winning 25% of the state, if we so consider FCT as a compulsory state? This is the council that houses all the Federal bodies

From the beginning in Section 2 (2) the Constitution distinguishes the states and FCT providing that “Nigeria shall be a Federation consisting of States and a Federal Capital Territory”

Then, section 134,
(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

FCT is a special place. It has the unique look of Nigeria and was developed solely with tax payers funds. Which state is like Abuja? Which state is the President the governor? If not Abuja. This is defined word for word in the Constitution

opera1:
You people should rest, Abuja alone cannot be a determined factor for presidential election victory.

The president by default is the governor of Abuja so to speak. You can't be the head of a place if 25% of the people there didn't vote for you. It's like staying in a home you're not wanted. In the Nigerian Constitution, Abuja is unified state and the Federal Character is employed in most appointments and things done there. It's a state that binds all Nigerians together, hence the 25%. Note that the Constitution didn't state, anyone with the highest vote or 50%, it also stated 25% which is reasonable.

I really don't envy the judges in the tribunal
God bless NIGERIA

Rubbish!

Like a US visa is that important! Vladimir Putin is enjoying same ban and it has change nothing about his status.

Their are over 190 countries in the world, so subtracting US is ONLY -1

The Nigerian Government should replicate same gesture and ban all US Supreme Court judges.

You better go and read about Russia and landmasses they occupied in the world. Russia alone can almost feed all 3/4 of the world's population without bricking an eye.

They're self sufficient in anything you think about. You dey compare Russia to Nigeria? Abi Putin to BAT, abeg, you rili fal my hand Sha😁

Paragon311:
Wow!!!! Interesting times ahead.....

Our Judiciary system is a major challenge in our Country.....

Imagine the abracadabra they did on Akpabio and Lawan cases through their yeye technicalities presentation....

It is a shame to that profession.....

While we blame the judiciary, let the Lawmakers and the Constitution take the bigger blame

The judges can or will only bend the rules, assuming they were bribed to the loopholes in the Constitution. The Lawmakers are smart, they'll purposely create a loophole in the Constitution, these loopholes becomes their escape route and the judges will settle for the loopholes and capitalize on it to give their judgements

She and Keefe really promoted Isoko and Urhobo music outside their native lands.

Honestly... Another person that would've done that again was Adax of Zarokome and Stereoman Ekwe. Though, Daddy Shoki tried to an extent too

You understand the true meaning of her songs more if you understand Isoko. She's indeed a blessing to my tribe.

I still dey jam her songs uptill date

I agree with you... The only reason I'm agreeing with you is because you don't read😁

Acquire Electrical or Plumbing skills

I am just coming from there about 3 hours ago
He says he head church is in Benin. Edo state

I can understand. Mine is almost like this!
I even told the pastor I don't need the , only the workers and the pastor(s). I'm also given honorarium to pastors that will be available. I dey beg Dem make Dem nor bring too many pastors, I still dey wait for reply

This is pure nonsense...
I PO and his quest for a new Nigeria. With almost sincerity, fraud is a hugh crime and should be dealth with regardless of tribe, regions and political affiliation. Crime and fraud is what brought us here. Some of our leaders can't even defend their certificates

If you do the crime, do the time!

Lifting your car will reduce the efficiency in of balancing and stability, especially on highways where you might likely speed up.

It's tempting to life your car as a Nigerian, but, don't fall into such temptation

The stress and risk that comes after isn't worth it

Don't forget, safety first, safety always

littleguy444:
Most People are just taking out their anger against jamb and it's understandable given how frustrated this country is.
If not you won't be asking this questions.

This is not a matter of frustration, but due process...

9jatriot:
People like this will no only complicate this issue for this girl, they will be helping her go to jail soon.

This lawyer will also find himself writing a letter of apology to JAMB, which will be posted on several newspapers

JAMB fuckup big time in this case... Where's the investigation results or paper? Was the ministry of education carried along? Where's the DSS report or is it only JAMB that should be part of the investigation? External bodies should be made to investigate this case. JAMB can't investigate a case they have interest

This case is under intense investigation and before you knew it, JAMB have slammed the girl ban. I still don't get it. The girl in question have refused to accept she dotted the result. That is her stand... When investigation is over, you address this case systematically and not media and public shaming cos she's a child who has lot to offer. Her image whether you like it or not is already affected

If JAMB did her duty well, this shouldn't even make headline in the first instance. If she's guilty beyond reasonable doubt, the necessary line of action should be carried out and the ministry of education should supervise it and not JAMB. JAMB is to make her recommendation to the ministry of education. Why the haste?

BreconHills:


Why should anything happen to her? She is pushing her claim everywhere, should Jamb keep quiet? Jamb has conducted its own investigation, DSS is next. The matter will probably go to court.

Jamb has a duty to defend their process, their result and their logo and to do so aggressively in the same public domain in which the girl is asserting her truth.

Do you know that foreign higher education institutions are watching this very closely? If for some reason they begin to doubt jambs process say bye bye to overseas education using Nigerian qualifications.

In 2017, I own a tutorial center, were you aware some students results were being changed then? It's was a show of madness then. Did JAMB addressed the issue and what happened?

If this was a serious country, heads will roll then. This can be a 2-way thing, JAMB can even be guilty here as much as Mmesoma. So, the best JAMB would've done is to investigate this, and if the girl denies, charge the matter to court for prosecution and not public shaming her.

I can bet you, if JAMB is guilty, with this kind of tension and hype going on now, JAMB will do everything within her power to save face leaving the little girls image to be tarnished forever. It's a matter of if she's guilty, face the law. But now, she has been facing social bullying and trauma. In one platform, we were debating about politics on Sunday, the other team were already using her as example of how dubious a particular presidential candidate is. Can you imagine!

Everyone deserves fair hearing... This is enshrined in our constitution. Before now, she has been taken to DSS and we didn't hear any story again. The matter should be charged to court. But before they even conclude investigation, JAMB has slammed her with punishment and ban. A case still under investigation...

I'm not ing the girl, I'm only ing due process and Justice.

A threat to justice somewhere is a threat to justice everywhere

JAMB handled the situation poorly. You spoke about some persons coming to conclusion hastily, so, why are people saying she changed the result? Is that not a hasty conclusion too? Has any forensic or due scrutiny of what happened be done before coming out to say she dotted her result?

In 2017, I had two different students whose JAMB scores were changed at different time. Each time they check their results from the portal, the score has changed too. Who changed the result, who is to be blamed?

It's a pity we don't hold institutions able in this nation

How many northerners spoke out when Deborah was killed? Ooooooohhhhh, killing her wasn't an evil act or an illegal act abi?

Double standard everywhere

Anyone who's guilty of a crime should pay for it regardless of their tribe, region, religion or political affiliation. This is the way to go

Honestly, I'm not happy at all. But what will I do?

Thanks so much for your input. You made me feel better. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the acknowledgement...

HanisahZuwy:
I don't know if I'll ever get a man to marry me. I look so older than my age. I'm in my twenties, but I look like a 53 years old woman. Even men
and women old enough to be my father and mother will be referring to me as ma. Some of them are even people who are older than me with 30-35 years. Most people doubt me when they ask for my age and I tell them. They feel I'm lying about my age. I feel I'm more than the age I tell them. I know some people look older than their age, but I don't think any could be worse than mine. Mine is that bad!


I don't know why this is so. I don't know why I look so older than my age.Why is it like that? Is there any one here in this kind of situation? How does that make you feel? Please, what can I do to remedy this? Is there anyone here like that? Or am I alone? What do you normally do to help yourself in this situation? I would like to hear from you if you're in this.

Everyone is unique and original... Just be whom you are, the right guy will come

You sound depressed and not so happy about your body or physique. You really need to work on your carriage and self esteem. If a lady without both legs can marry, what about you!

Have a positive mindset and be happy with yourself knowing fully well that you're unique and specially made.

Chill, the right guy will come

LoveUdie:

If we should ask this in a better or clearer way, the question will be, "Is it okay for Christians to have MouthAction in marriage?" Since sex is meant to be done or experienced in marriage, that is after legal marriage. We do hear that married couple can do anything with each other after marriage, as long it's within their matrimonial home, so is MouthAction okay for us as children of God?

The answer is sex is fine and blessed in marriage but the oral of it is wrong and evil. Why? Because sex is meant for sexual activity by sex organs, and oral is meant for oral activities by oral organs; when you now exchange it, using oral organs for sexual activity and using sexual organs for oral, it means you are directly working against the natural order and creation of God. MouthAction is evil ion of working against the order of God, it's a deliberate turning the cause of nature upside down. Such habit exposes lives and marriages to demons, delusive pleasure and destruction at the end.

MouthAction was originated by Satan for people to dishonor the cause of God and to dishonor their bodies."Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves" Romans 1:24. MouthAction is of same category of sin with homosexuality, that is the gays and lesbians. In reality, MouthAction and homosexual are the same before God, who work against the natural cause. "who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.For this reason God gave them up to vile ions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men." Romans 1:25-27

If you have been involving in MouthAction, you urgently need to repent and ask the Lord to forgive and purge you with His precious blood.

1 John 1:9-10, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."

Marriage is older than any form of religion. Marriage is very deep and sacred. So, religion that came after marriage shouldn't dictate how couples should agree to living their lives peacefully and enjoyable

In the confer of marriage, there's no particular formula to running it. Sticks to what works for you both

The saved money is to whose benefits? Nigerians or the same politicians?

Those that have carried weapons to terrorise the govt in the past are now in govt or close to the govt or working for the govt.

For those who can speak up did in the past and they looked like fools and even mocked by same people they spoke for...

The level of economic ignorance or illiteracy in this country is alarming. The lack of education
in Nigeria and majorly in the north is a major draw back. This is a calculated game by the elite to put us to check

We'll keep pushing, talking and writing just as you've done. Channel your protest to writing. Go to your SM space, provoke the thought of an average Nigerian who can read or reason with your writings. If you're a singer, provoke the thoughts of Nigerians via singing and rhymes and if you're a poet like Uncle Dike, write poems, voice them for Nigerians and the world in general to hear.

For the now, I'll advice we shun the street... The leaders will have now have no sympathy for souls anymore, so, wasting a life is like nothing to them. They almost denied the ENDSARS shooting. This is just of recent and a testament that Nigerians aren't cowardice, but there's need to sit down, challenge our protest channels and come out with a 21st well thought out plans moving forward

And the glitches didn't affect Senate and House of rep result s. It only affected the presidential ...

Can you imagine

So, why are people surprised? He has been a power drank before now. I'm surprised Nigerians are surprised

OJEEMAH:
This is you using what he did in Spain and England to put up a defence in a discussion that’s solely about his current club and performance. if you were a coach, would you sign a player that scored 30goals in 7games and goes missing over one that did 30goals in 20 or 25games? Or because it’s Ronaldo we shouldn’t talk? that’s the problem with you guys. When people share their thoughts and Ronaldo is involved, next thing is to broke shame or act like hardworking or successful people are not respected enough……..what will be my gain if I disrespect or hate a man that doesn’t know if I exist or not?

As a matter of fact, my opinion and yours is irrelevant. We are simply discussing about a global celebrity and it’s not a crime anywhere. He signed up for it.

If that same player that scored 30 goals in 7 games happens to be the highest goal scorer in that league that season,, won't he be given the golden boot? What's exactly your point?

It takes an extraordinary player to score 30 goals in 7 games. Use your head!

OJEEMAH:
You presented your comment like he was doing some back to back goal scoring in Saudi. I don’t even have a problem if he did 14 or 20. I was trying to tell you he amassed 14goals in less than 50% of the games he appeared not because he was consistently scoring against all or most of their opponents. Bros, like it or not, there are small clubs and there are big clubs. Apart from finance, achievements and trophies, consistency is one thing that distinguishes smaller and bigger clubs.

Regardless of their position last season, Chelsea remain a top club in England. We cannot say the same for Crystal palace, Bournemouth, Southampton, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and many others. Alot changed about Man city before they ed elite clubs in England/Europe. Arabs took over…… a new manager was hired(Mancini). Good players(Robinho, Tevez, Adebayor, Aguero, Toure, Fernandinho, Silva, Kompany and many others were signed. Then they began to compete and win trophies.

Leceister was a rare case. How often does such thing occur? Have they been about to finish top 4 since then?

A lot defines big clubs (Trophies, finance, quality of players and managers and others) You are just emotional here. Fact and logic shows Getafe, Empoli, spezia, Mainz, Leeds are small clubs when compared Madrid, Barca, Bayern, City, Juventus and even Chelsea

Top flight football does not automatically make all clubs big

And the top clubs you mentioned, CR7 has played in seizable numbers, broked and also set records there!

Just deal with the facts he's good... He scored 14 goals in 19 games in the Saudi League. This feat isn't a surprise, he has done it severally even with Real Madrid. He was just in Utd of recent and was the Utd top scorer. Maybe you should also check the club he scored those goals against

So, whether he scored the 14 goals in one match or several matches, those goals were scored within 19 matches. This is the short story of the legend in Saudi. Period!

Celebrate a hard-working person anywhere you find one, it takes nothing!

OJEEMAH:
There’s no league that doesn’t have small clubs so stop trying to be smart. Man city is a big club. Can you say the same about Southampton or Bournemouth?

You and I are not talking about EPL and La liga so stop digressing.

You mentioned 14goals in 19 appearances as though he scored in almost all the games he featured. I am just telling you, do not be deceived as those goals were scored in less than 10 out of the 19games cos he did 4,3 and even 2 in some games…….most of the games he didn’t score, they either lost or drew and that’s why some fans began to boo him in games.

You have a problem, certainly not with my post. Point out where I stated he scored the 14 goals in every match?

There's no small club in any top-flight as a club. How's Southampton or Bournemouth a small club? What were the parameters to rate a big and small club in the EPL or any other place in the world? The Saudi club played in the semi-final of the World Club cup... Do you know what that means?

Man City wasn't even part of the top-flight club some years ago and today, you include their names. Leicester took the world by surprise by winning the league coming from Relegation... So, what's your definition of 'big team' again when it comes to top-flight football of a Nation?

CR7 simply took his chances as they come...
Please, come to me with logic and facts not with speculations and ignorance

OJEEMAH:
14goals in 19games is impressive statistically but what most of you don’t know is, he failed to score in more than 50% of Al Nassr’s games.

He disappeared in key games that could have won them the league, Saudi and kings cup.

He just happen to hit 4, hattrick(3) and braces(2) against small clubs. That’s how he manage to score upto 14.

Haaland scored in about 75% of City’s games not just against Southampton, Leceister, Leeds, crystal palace and Westham.

Nobody is disputing his 14goals in 19games but if most of his 14goals were spread across 14 or 15 out of the 19games he played, they probably would have won the league cos those goals would have atleast secured a win or draw in some games they lost or drew.

If you look at the table carefully, you will understand me better.

I talk logically... So, you mean there's small club in the Saudi League playing in the top division? Please, what's your definition of small club?

The stats are there in all leagues CR7 played... He had most in the competitive EPL and Laliga

OJEEMAH:
scoring 14 goals in less than half of the matches he played. He scored 5 against one team then hattrick and brace against others. No make am look like he scored in every match

You're actually blinded by hatred... I said he scored 14 goals out of 19 matches in the Saudi League...

What's now the analysis for? Or did he not score those goals?

Can you pin point where I said he scored in all the matches he played?

Beverlyjean:
All 5 records na still barca / la liga

Ronaldos record

Top scorer with 450 goals in 432 games for real Madrid ( la liga)averaging 1 goal per game

17 goals in the UCL in a season real Madrid (UCL)

Scoring in 5 consecutive WC, Portugal/ WC

200 International caps portugal/ International football

Top scorer in the Top 3 European leagues Manchester United English league, Real Madrid la liga , Juventus serie A

Now the difference between Ronaldo and Messi is that Messi only has records for Barca and la liga
.... Ronaldo has records everywhere he played, for clubs and country ...

He also broke a record in Saudi... Scoring 14 goals in 19 matches
