Owootori:
Hi all,

Please I need pointers on how expensive it is to live comfortably in Oshogbo for a family of 3 (Man, woman and a 10 yrs old child).

Planning relocating from Kaduna to Oshogo but I want to know how expensive the city is so I can make adequate preparations.

Thank for the anticipated responses.

Living in Osogbo is cool. Taking the mini shuttle buses costs between 100-150 Naira (depending on how short or long you're journeying. For shorter movements, you can in fact plead with the driver to collect 50 Naira). Taking bike depends on how far you're going, as something around 150-400 Naira would suffice. A decent 2-bedroom flat apartment should be between 200-350k ( also depending on the location of the area. For areas like Dada Estate, Agunbelewo, and some other areas densely populated by Yahoo guys, you may not get a decent 2-bedroom apartment for 200k though). Also, light is pretty fairly stable, compared to other states like Oyo (also depending on the area you decide to settle in)

I'm also experiencing such. I think it's a general issue at the moment

CAC already gave the notice few days back. They started an update on their site which runs from 28th Dec to the 3rd day of January, 2021. The update, according to them, is to bring the site in conformity with the newly-signed CAMA 2020. The site, according to them, will be accessible from the 4th day of January, 2021. However, accredited agents would have to revalidate their accreditation details with the CAC. The likely implication of this is that, we accredited agents may have to do our accreditation again with payment of the accreditation fee.

I'm hoping the Super Eagles will beat the Algerians.

Like I explained to someone here yesterday, in 2010 when the appeal court declare aregbe winner in osun state, the court voided some of oyinlola's votes to make aregbe have highest votes cast. If the voided votes had been added to number of invalid votes from the election figures, a rerun would have been ordered as the invalid votes were more than aregbe's margin of victory. That's why I said voided votes by courts are not included in total votes cast. But my concern is why the supreme court did not outrightly declare a winner. I'm waiting till Monday to see what happens next.

Bro, the Supreme Court can't give what parties didn't ask for. Those who approached the trial court didn't pray the court to declare a winner other than the APC. The claim in their case was to the effect that, no valid APC's primary elections took place in the state. And that was what the Supreme Court focused on. Well, the court, in some instances specially warranting it, will make ancillary orders not specifically prayed for by the plaintiff. That was why the Supreme Court made an ancillary order, having decided that APC did not participate in the election, and in order to give a directive as to what to do, that the next party should be declared winner having met the requirements. More so, this is a pre-election matter and not one of post-election affair which would enable the tribunal to declare a winner or a rerun when certain requirements are not met.

Well, it's so simple enough. Going by the judgment of the Supreme Court, in the eyes of the law, APC never participated in the national and state elections conducted in Zamfara state. Being the apex court and having given the final verdict, what's left for INEC is to subtract all votes garnered by APC in both the national and state elections in that state from the total number of accredited voters who actually voted, and then decide the winners of all the elective posts, having removed APC from the setting. I hope our political power mongers have learned their lessons in different shades. Yari, who exclaimed a day before the Supreme Court's verdict, that Nigeria's sitting on a time bomb which is soon to explode, never knew the explosion of the bomb would begin from him the next day. He lost everything due to greed and pride.
And to those who are insinuating a rerun election, please be informed that the apex court has given the final say. The Supreme Court said in its judgment that the party with the next highest votes be considered, so there can never be a rerun. More so, a particular sub-subsection in section 140 of the Electoral Act was declared void and ultra vires the provisions of the constitution, by a federal high court, of which that judgment was never appealed against, till the statutory period to file a civil suit elapsed. So there can't be a rerun in this case. PDP would be declared by INEC on Monday.

Guys, don't get it twisted. Magistrate courts are courts of summary jurisdiction. So, it is possible for them to hear and dispense off criminal matters quickly. More so, it is trite in law that once an accused pleads guilty to an offence as charged, such an accused could be convicted immediately upon his plea of "guilty as charged". So, if the trio had pleaded guilty while being arraigned, the magistrate could go ahead to convict them as charged, without necessarily hearing the case of the Prosecution and that of the Defence.

Guys, this news is all false; no iota of truth in it whatsoever. The name of the Lead Counsel for PDP in the election petition tribunal is Nathaniel Oke SAN. I know the man so well, and his son was a friend and colleague back in the university. And as a matter of fact and not fallacy, PDP had long concluded its case and closed same, which prompted INEC as the first Respondent to open its case. If I'm not mincing words, by now Oyetola should have opened his case as the second Respondent. So all those are lies from the pit of hell.
