"Earlier on Sunday, a human rights group said at least 19 refugees and migrants from sub-Saharan Africa had drowned off the coast of Tunisia while trying to cross the Mediterranean and reach Italy."

I bet you majority of them Nigerians. To be specific, they are ibos. They are on the go every time. Look at southeast geopolitical zone. Big areas. But the problem is ibos don't know how to develop land to keep their citizens at home. That is why Peter Obi won Lagos and Abuja. It was not by accident, instead, it is reflected in how southeast is managed. And how many times , have you heard ibos leaders promising to build northern Nigeria if elected president? And you believe that? Charity, they say, begins at home. If you don't love yourself, how can you love others? Ibos love to exaggerate their credentials, but please don't buy it. It is nothing, but empty can.

Pastor Umo Eno Administration and How he can make Akwa Ibom State Economic power
eeetuk



After pastor Umo Eno, the Governor-elect of Akwa Ibom state visited the incumbent governor of Akwa Ibom State to thank him for helping him to win the governorship election, he said his administration will be centered on continuity of outgoing administration of Udom Emmanuel policy. For real? If that is true, it will be recipe for failure. And here is why.

Udom Emmanuel administration was a disaster. Under Gov. Udom Emmanuel administration, the state collected an average of N104 billion each year from federal government, but the lives of Akwa Ibom state citizens have not been positively impacted in direct proportion to the amount of money the state earned each year. Why? Udom Emmanuel failed to invest in several key areas that would have improved the economic well beings of Akwa Ibom State citizens.

Education
Research shows that people who have good educational skills are more likely to succeed than those who don’t have good education. Key to improving education is teacher training. Studies show that there is a direct link between professional development of teachers and students’ performance, Kulshrestha & Pandy (2013). And according to the U.S. Department of Education, research confirms that teachers are the single most important factor in raising student achievement, Smith & Gillespie (2007). But this is not what is happening in Akwa Ibom State.
In Akwa Ibom state, school teachers are hired without teacher training background. The problem with this is kids and adults who graduate from schools each year cannot find work—leaving most of them to flee the state to other states like Lagos and Abuja to seek better lives. Akwa Ibom state educational standard is also declining. When west African examination council releases annual results, students in the state are ranked far below students from other states in Nigeria. That is not by accident. It is because the state government is not educational focused and for years neglected investment in education. Furthermore, the state has no state wide policy to equip the schools with best teachers. This must change. Pastor Umo Eno can in taking office required teachers to be trained before they can be hired to teach our kid.

Low Income Housing Scheme
Many governments around the world recognize the important of low-income houses for their citizens. Overcrowding can contribute to negative health issues, increase chronic disease and even provides opportunities for citizens to get injuries. Akwa Ibom state has 31 local governments. Not a single one of these local governments has low-income houses funded by the state. That leaves millions of citizens venerable to all kind’s diseases and hardship. With 31 local governments in the state and a population of about 10 million people, the state needs to build 250,000 low income houses each year to meet the housing needs of the citizens. This will guarantee that people who do not have jobs and cannot work because they are too old or have disabilities problems can have a place to live. Furthermore, this will guarantee that every citizen in the state has equal participation in local economy. As of now, only rich people can shop while the poor look on or rely on handouts. That is not the right way to build economy. You cannot have economy where only 1% of citizens participate. That is a recipe for disaster. It breeds crimes and all sort of violence into the communities. Pastor Umo Eno upon taking office should attack housing shortages for low-income citizens head-on.

Public Transportation
Udom Emmanuel administration lack of transportation policy in Akwa Ibom state really limited economic growth in the state. Why? Good transportation has the following advantages. First, it moves people and goods to various locations. Second, effective transportation allows people to conduct trade and do business. Third, it provides access to various locations. And fourth, it helps people to move and interact with other people—thereby generating important economic benefit like employment and exchange of ideas.

Udom Emmanuel administration made a big mistake when he by-pass land transportation to invest in airline business. Why? Akwa Ibom State population is about 10 million people—out of which 90% are poor. That means less demand for air traffic and revenue generated from air traffic is less as well. For airline to be profitable, local participation is key. No airline business can be successful without local participation in greater number.

As a result, I am proposing the purchasing of 6200 buses to be distributed to all 31 local governments in the state. Each local government should receive 200 buses in phase 1 program. Citizens should pay a subsidized price as may be determined by the government to board these buses for each trip. Government should also plan and schedule routes in which these buses would go each day and time. This would allow citizens to engage in all sort of trades. And it would also help people living in rural areas of the state to move goods and services to where people want them. Furthermore, road transportation will create jobs opportunities for locals and generate revenues to the government in the form of taxation.

Will Pastor Umo Eno set his personal ego aside and adopt the above proposal i have recommended?

x"Wike said his administration would inaugurate and flag off several projects before his tenure ends on May 29."

How many of you have traveled or lived in Rivers state?
Look, Wike keeps talking about commmissiong projects, and I have not seen a picture of these so called projects. Last year. Wike invited president buhari to Rivers state to Commission some projects. Although president buhari honored Wike invitation, no picture has emerged to show the projects. That is why I am asking anyone who has traveled or lived in Rivers state to share the pictures of wike projects. What a nice way to validate wike claims?

Secret about how Nigeria president is chosen is unravelling. Today's discovery will shock your dead grandmother out of her graveyard. So, look at this picture and tell us what you think:

Atiku Abubakar wrote" I'll never validate an illegitimate outcome of a flawed process"

Please don't! Everybody knows that Bola Tinubu did not win February 25, presidential election. Never! The result was predetermined and prefixed. So, i am really happy Atiku office came out quickly to knockdown this fake report. Finally, i hope and pray you do not make any deal regarding this sham--called presidential election. God bless Atiku Abubakar. Amen!

"The civil rights group wondered “why the aspirant who is already giving out dollars failed to queue behind the zoning arrangements which will give room for equity, fairness and Justice”.

When a communication talks about zoning arrangement , it is most likely come from an Ibo man. I want to know why ibos are more interested in zoning than other ethnic groups in Nigeria. Ibos want the president of Nigeria zoned to them. Same goes to senate president , House of representatives speaker and more

"President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has raised the alarm over plots by some aggrieved partisans to truncate the transition process, particularly his expected swearing-in on May 29."

Bola Tinubu is not yet president-elect-- a notion that he has won February 25,2023 presidential election. No, he didn't win. According to the 1999 constitution of Nigeria, a candidate for president must (1) win the popular vote , (2) get 25% of votes in not less than 24 of the 36 states and (3) has 25% in the Federal capital, Abuja.

Did any of 18 presidential candidates achieved those 3 criteria?
The answer is overwhelming no.
So, Bola Tinubu stop lying about being president-elect because you are not.
Okay?

FCT senator-elect, Ireti kinGibe communication skills show that she was not prepared for the job and was shocked to learn she was elected. Why? She didn't know how to make a case for LP. And in fact , I don't think that she has read LP manifesto to know what LP stand for in different issues . However, she was honest to admit that LP didn't have any person for the job-- a reason she was chosen. So my advice to her is she should spend more time to read LP manifesto and learn to how make a case for her party because she rode on the back of LP to victory. It is a good way to pay back to the party.
Okay?

"More so, they argued that he did not garner the highest number of lawful votes cast at the election, adding that votes credited to the APC candidate amounted to wasted votes by reason of corrupt practices that marred the election."

Wrong way to argue this case! Why? The question about who has the highest votes on February 25,2023 presidential election has been answered: Bola Tinubu .I think it would be difficult for any person or party to prove that Bola Tinubu did not have the highest votes. In my opinion, Bola Tinubu highest vote was a product of a sham process. But, hey, i can't prove it. So, I urge Atiku Abubakar campaign to move away from highest votes arguments. Bola Tinubu got 19% in Abuja instead 25% is a winning argument for Atiku Abubakar at this point. The 1999 constitution of Nigeria clearly stated that among other conditions, a candidate for president of Nigeria must have 25% in Abuja to become the president. Any election petitioner who failed to argue on the issue of criterion will his case thrown out or rejected.

That just me, but says you?

"The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has after very extensive review of the affairs of our Party in the country and pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) referred the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom to the National Disciplinary Committee over his reported involvement in anti-party activities."

Why not expulsion?
I don't see why any of these guys should be allowed back in the party. Their behavior over the past several months really hurt PDP chances during the election. They stoked fears and traffic hates against the party. They embraced those who wished bad for PDP to fall. Suspension is going to allow them them back in to the party, at some point and that in my opinion weakened the party and threnghten those who hate the party. This punishment is too small for the crime these thugs have committed. So, expell all of them now, ASAP.

Zoning has become the new weapon for ibos to get their way around other people. President of Nigeria Zoning to southeast. President of the world zoning to southeast. Restructuring Nigeria zoning to southeast. CBN job zoning to southeast. Chief of staff to Bola Tinubu zoning to southeast. Inspector General of Nigeria police zoning to southeas. Zone all jobs in Nigeria to southeast.

When is the end game for zoning everything to southeast?

Nothing works in a black run country. Or does it? Tell the truth. Just look around yourself and ask yourself this question: which black run country is successful? The answer you get will surprise you. None. And the reason is black people don't obey the law.,period. Laws are made to protect the people. That is why am I calling for the return to military regime. What is your stance on the idea of returning Nigeria to military rule?

Peter Obi has no business to petition INEC. To do what? He came third and not second ass stated in the 1999 constitution of Nigeria. The person who really needs to petition INEC, if any, is Atiku Abubakar for runoff. And one thing I noticed about Peter Obi and his supporters is they like to play to the crowd. To get attention. Nonsense! So I asked Peter Obi to join me in calling for a runoff election between Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, ASAP.
Will Peter Obi join me?

] bola Tinubu said "Indeed, the elections are over."

Mr Bola Tinubu, suggesting that elections are over is a lie. Which one are you talking about, punk? Not presidential election. INEC is going to redo presidential election in Nigeria again. You did not win February 25,2023 presidential election, period. INEC officials allocated votes to you to make it look like you won. No, you didn't win. Atiku Abubakar won in a landslide. And stop the big lie, sir

PDP victory in Plateau State proved that LP did not win February 25,2023 presidential election in the state. In Lagos State where LP was declared winner in February 25,2023 presidential election, LP lost governorship election as well . Same result in Delta state as well.
And I hope INEC will cancel February 25,2023 presidential election. It was a complete sham.

"PDP WINS AS INEC ANNOUNCES FINAL RESULTS IN AKWA IBOM"

No surprise here-- this outcome was expected . In Akwa Ibom state, PDP dominate all the three branches of government--the executive, the legislative and the judiciary. So , the question was not whether PDP would win, but the question has always been what is PDP dominated government will do with this overwhelming power? And as citizens of Akwa Ibom state have seen over the last 19 years of PDP run government in Akwa ibom state, it is a disaster after a disaster. Governor Emmanuel Udom collected the largest oils money allocation each year, but has nothing to show for . The state has the highest unemployment rate in Nigeria. No clean drinking water anywhere in the state. Kidnapping of citizens has skyrocketed. Kids graduate from college and universities can't find work. Educational standard is at the lowest level. Public transportation doesn't exist in the state. Citizens live in the most polluted environment in the world.

Can we ask the right questions and get the most honest answer?

So, what are you going to do with this victory? That is what I want to know.

"Jealouscobra wrote " you spoke well .... But the issue of prayer doesn't work in Nigeria any more. All we need not is to clamour for military tocome back. 😎

You are 100% correct. I am an advocate for returning Nigeria to military regime. This civilian has not served better than military. Unemployment is the highest in the world. Killings of innocent people have skyrocketed. Kidnapping of Nigerians is spreading like wild fires. Roads are impassable. Standard of education has eroded. Kids graduate from college and university cannot find jobs. What kind of civilian government is this? I am calling for return to military rule, ASAP.

"A Campaign Director General of Tonye Cole, All Progressive Congress (APC) Gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State, has been found dead, IGBERETV reports."

Hold Governor wike responsible for Mr. Leonard dead. Since the campaign season kicked off a few months ago, Governor wike has gone amok--threatening to kill anyone who stood on his way. And since he lost out of PDP primary election to Atiku Abubakar, wike behavior has become uncontrollable--to the point you can describe as violently ragging on. He organized rebellion inside Nigeria and outside promising to kill anybody who cast votes in support of Atiku campaign. The problem with wike behavior is he has gotten away with it too many times. Nigeria has no central authority--to deal with wike menace. Who do you blame for all these? President Buhari, period. He appointed attorney general of the federal, Mr. Abubakar Malami--- who cannot read or even write his own name. Usually, behavior of threatening people supposed to be dealt with by the attorney general of the federation and minister for justice. But what is Mr. Malami reaction to all these killings. None i heard off. It is a shame to see innocent people in Nigeria getting killed like what happened to Mr. Leonard today. And based on who will replace buhari as the next president of Nigeria, there is no hope inside. So, i urge prayer!

] Elistho"PDP will win in Akwa Ibom State as usual, but it's trash. But I know they're people like me, God bless you."

100 % true! I will be shocked if PDP doesn't win. In Akwa ibom state, votes cast by citizens have never been used to decide winner and loser. That began in 2007 when Akpabio became governor through fraudulent election. From that time on, Akwa Ibom state governor has been producing under the blessing of a sitting incumbent governor. The problem with this behavior is not about who becomes the governor, but about what that governor does when he gets into the office. As we have seen, Emmanuel Udom leadership is a disaster. Akwa Ibom state has the highest unemployment rate among all age groups. State education lacks proper jobs training in the world. Our drinking water is totally polluted. There has been report of ethnic division in the state.

That is why I was hoping we can move away from PDP leadership. But I was wrong. And it is a shame that citizens of Akwa Ibom state will have to go through this fraudulent regime again. All I can do now is to pray for the survival of our people.

"Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Wike has described elections conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission under the leadership of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as “completely hopeless”.

February 25,2023 presidential election in Nigeria was a fraud. The US Ambassador mary beth Leonard acknowledged Nigeria fraudulent election when she said " February 25,2023 presidential election failed to meet the aspirations of the Nigerian people. EU chief observer Mr Andrews corroborated US Ambassador statement when he said " February 25,2023 presidential election in Nigeria lacked transparency to help us to determine the winner of the election. So, Rotimi Amaehi is right and he only confirmed evident that the will of Nigerian people was suppressed.

"If they (politicians) still give you money, collect, but vote for your preferred candidates"

What a terrible advice by president buhari! If I was president buhari I would have advised voters who are offered money in exchange for votes to shun it . To me, it seems like buhari is encouraging money for vote. A good leader would have taken a stance on the issue of taking money for votes , but not president buhari. That is why Nigeria did not improve ecomically, educationally and politically under president buhari watch.
Although buhari replacement, Mr Tinubu is not going to be any better, but I thank God that Mr buhari is on his way out. What a joke president buhari become these days.

" Atiku said Tinubu cannot invite Wike to his dinner table because the governor is a snake."I

I would go further to describe Nyesom Wike as a dog . Buy a dog anything you want and feed dog all you want , but when you remove a chain from the neck of a dog, she is gone. That is how Wike behave . He forgets quick. And he might even harm you if you get closer her. Now,if you doubt me., ask former governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaehi. Mr. Amaehi helped Wike get elected. But a day after Wike got into governor office, he declared Amaehi wanted. Wike is a dog, period.

"The governor urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to guarantee and ensure that next Saturday’s elections are free, fair, and credible, by allowing the electorate to decide their leaders"

You have got to laugh at the above statement by Governor wike. Why? Governor wike is the last person you want to hear talking about free and fair election . Before February 25,2023 presidential election, he single handedly called for destruction of anyone casting vote for Atiku Abubakar. Now, wike is calling for free and fair election. What is going on in wike head?

So, I call on rotimi Amaehi to do everything possible to win next governorship election for rivers state APC candidate. Just to let wike to know that there is another power in rivers state.

[b] "According to INEC, “by combined provision of Section 47 (1) & (2) of the Electoral Act 2022 and Paragraph 5(IV) of INEC Regulations & Guidelines for the conduct of elections 2022, a person is eligible to vote at an election conducted by the Commission, if he or she presents a valid PVC at the polling unit in which he is "

Pure hypocrisy!
Saying one thing and doing opposite is the definition of INEC. Asking Nigerians to go and vote, but not using the result of polling unit votes to decide winner and loser is how INEC does business. I don't take INEC seriously when I hear them cite these laws. Why?
It is fake.

Election in Nigeria is a window dressing. People line up all day to cast their votes for the candidate they like, but their vote never counts. What happened on February 25,2023 presidential election was nothing short of window dressing. Result of polling unit votes were never used to decide winner and loser. And instead, INEC allocated their own votes to different political parties to make it look like they either won or lost election. What a shame! I heard people say that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the world. That is a lie. To me, Nigeria leads the world in corruption, period. Denying Atiku Abubakar victory because he was a northerner and they didn't another northern person to replace buhari was a corrupt and window dressing election.

"Atiku, PDP Withdraw Suit From Tribunal On Permission To Inspect Presidential Election Materials
Atiku Abubakar campaign is wasting its time and money to try to overturn February 25,2023 sham presidential election results. Election did take place in Nigeria, but results were never used to determine winner or loser .it was professional done job to make Atiku Abubakar campaign difficult to find out. So, my advice to Atiku Abubakar will be to move on because those in power didn't want Atiku Abubakar to be president.
Okay?

"This has the result for each polling unit, as well as a link the PDF file on INEC website. Please take note - the data is not 100% accurate."

Result of each polling unit?

Please stop deceiving yourself and members of this forum because polling unit results were never transmitted or used in deciding Nigeria president-elect.
INEC allocated votes to different political parties to decide winner of February 25,2023 presidential election. INEC did that to avoid replacing president buhari with another northern Nigeria man, Mr Atiku Abubakar who was on his way to get elected.

The US Ambassador to Nigeria Mary Beth Leonard echo this sentiment when she said that Nigeria presidential election failed to meet the aspirations of the Nigerian people. And EU chief observer, Mr Andrew's to Nigeria presidential election corroborated this argument when he said Nigeria presidential election lacked transparency to enable his organization determine the winner of the election.

So, Please don't say polling unit results were used to decide election winner in Nigeria because they were not

Skyview01 "Bubu guarantee a ministerial slot in Tinubu's admn"

Don't know , but we'll see

"THE outgoing British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Catriona Laing has said that though there were setbacks in the Saturday, February, 25th Presidential and National Assembly election, overall, it was a positive process Nigeria should be proud of."

Typical of British attitudes towards a bad government in Nigeria . They never wish good things for Nigerian people. They prop up Bola Tinubu because they know, they stand to benefit From him. No election took place on February 25,2023. Why are the British refusing to acknowledge that? Like I said , they stand to benefit from Tinubu regime most. Nigeria oil wells are controlled by the British since the early days of independence. Now that the British pal in the name of Tinubu is taking over, look for more controlled and less safe environment for the Nigerian people . They endorse criminality. They prop up jihadist to rule Nigeria for ever.
I call for civil war in Nigeria. Let take back ibibio land now.

David Umahi’ is a political prostitute. He goes to where the money is. Last I checked, he was PDP when Goodluck Jonathan was the president to get money. After Goodluck Jonathan lost,he moved to APC. And thank God Atiku Abubakar lost his presidential election because Governor Umahi would have returned to PDP, ASAP. And you know why he is with president buhari today? I bet you to loby for ministerial job in incoming Tinubu administration. David Umahi is about where the money is

Who disagree? And why?

Thechairman of the electoral body, Mahmood Yakubu, gave the assurance when Labour Party’s legal head, Dr Livy Uzoukwu, led a 60-man legal team fto a meeting with representatives of INEC in Abuja on Monday to discuss modalities for obtaining the documents."

Labor party loves to play to the crowd. What does labor party think it would find in INEC documents? All the votes credited to labor party were votes earned as a result of INEC policy of votes allocation . The party didn't win Lagos, Abuja and those other states they got credited for. INEC allocated votes to labor party to make them look competitive and to calm down escalation of violence in southeast. And before election, Bola Tinubu was already told he would be president. Atiku Abubakar did not have a chance because INEC wanted a southerner to replace buhari- who is a northerners.

So , labor party will be lucky if some of those States credited for them don't get taken away from them during re-examination of requested documents. I think party is making a big mistake here.

How the Nigerian President is Chosen Will Surprise You
By eeetuk


Labor party rush to celebrate February 25, 2023, presidential election victories in some states like Lagos, Abuja, and other states proved that the party leadership is not smart.

Victories in Lagos, Abuja and other states credited to Labor party were allocated to them by INEC officials, and not the result of votes earned from polling units in various parts of Nigeria. And in fact, votes allocation was not limited to Labor party alone. All political parties got votes allocated to them by INEC officials.
Why?

Using my email contacts, I was able to talk to many Nigerians who were at different polling units across Nigeria on election day. In talking to people in Nigeria, my understanding is that INEC officials feared escalation of violence in the South if a Northern Nigerian president, Mohammad Buhari is replaced with another Northern person, Atiku Abubakar after 8 years in power. That prompted officials inside INEC to deny Atiku Abubakar any chance of winning the election.

Mary beth Leonard is US Ambassador to Nigeria. After INEC announced Bola Tinubu as president-elect, she issued a statement that said “2023 presidential election failed to meet the expectation of Nigerian people”. This was followed by EU Chief Observer, Barry Andrews. After personally observing 2023 presidential election in Nigeria, Mr. Andrews issued a statement which said this in part “Elections held on schedule, but lack of transparency and operational failures reduced trust in the process and challenged the right to vote”

Both Ambassador Leonard of US and EU chief observer reactions are important because they confirmed what many Nigerians have observed as well.

Now, 2023 presidential election did take place in some parts of Nigeria, but the results from various polling units were not used to decide the election—prompting some political to sort courts investigation. When you looked at 2015 election which featured President Goodluck Jonathan and Mohammad Buhari, the results obtained from various polling units were never used to decide the election---which went in favor of Mohammad Buhari. The officials in INEC office allocated votes to different candidates for two reasons: first, produced the type of outcome they wanted and second to calm down potential violence in the country. That behavior was repeated in 2019 as well. And here we are, on February 25, 2023, patterns have repeated itself.

So, why did Peter Obi run for President of Nigeria in 2023?
I asked this question because Peter Obi does not know that votes cast in Nigeria election are not used to decide winner and loser by INEC officials. Even Atiku Abubakar and governor Wike of Rivers State don’t know that either. On March 11, 2023 Rivers State governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike issued a statement thanking Peter Obi for derailing Atiku Abubakar presidential run. That by itself is a lie. That is because governor Wike failed to admit Atiku Abubakar/Peter Obi ticket in 2019 was a failure. He did not even mention it. I will never blame Peter Obi presidential run for Atiku failure because we had that ticket tested before—resulting in failure. If Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi had run again in 2023, the result will not be different from 2019 results. Why? Free and fair election does not exist in Nigeria and INEC officials have already decided from the get-go that Atiku Abubakar will not replace President Mohammad Buhari
Who disagrees?
