So I've not been able to get fulls details of the Lawan-Machina case , but I got the excerpt above from Punch Newspaper's reporting of the judgement and Machina's camp reaction.


Nice summary.
I guess this is a healthy reminder that our judiciary system is also on the ballot.
The executive is responsible for nominating judges. And obi represents our best chance of appointing better judges and not just politically motivated judges.

At this point Buhari should just port. He has fked up the election for his party, quite possibly irredeemably.

There may be a huge protest /punishment vote BlueRayDick style. And it will have been earned.

I doubt they will. Lawan just needs to spend part of the billions in his war chest and he will trounce the PDP ticket holder.

Yobe state is probably the most APC state in the North. He doesn’t even need to spend that much.

Name-calling and profiling

When politicians are stereotypical of an individual or a political group, their agenda mostly promotes an awful perception of their opponents to arouse public rejection. In most cases, these politicians use simple terminologies to label or give a negative description of an individual or group.

On January 7, 2023, for instance, Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), described Atiku Abukar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as “Mr Sell Everything” and called Peter Obi of the Labour Party “Mr Stingy”

“My people, you cannot entrust your future or that of our nation to Mr Sell Everything, Atiku, or Mr Stingy, Obi,” Mr Tinubu said during APC’s rally in Ondo State. And in the same pattern but positively, he described himself as “Mr Progressive Good Governance Tinubu”, asking Nigerians to trust him.

Propagandists often use this method to dodge fact-based opinions on public issues to tame and name their opponents so the public can see them in a bad light.

let the games begin

Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by A001: 8:54am On Feb 07, 2023
Below is an insightful piece by the late Prof Pius Adesanmi. He captures the reasons why someone like me supports a philosopher and historian like Otem and encourages him to publish more works. Philosophy is the mother of science and all kinds of knowledge, and philosophy and critical thinking are integral to building a progressive society.

I know only few people will read the article to the end.

“Few Nigerians understand that our chaos, our urban rot and rural decay, our decrepit roads, hospitals, and Universities, our power failures and water shortages, and our fuel scarcity are collective consequences of our wanton embrace of the unthought and unreflected society.

Since we inherited this dilapidated contraption from the British, we have made not a single attempt to philosophize the Nigerian project through sustained critical thought. The price is always very heavy when a people develop a collective hostility to philosophy.

Dubai, London, Paris, and all the other destinations that Nigerians adore and desire are all outward manifestations of something called modernity. Democracy, law and order, urban planning and regulation are all features of modernity. Innovation and science and technology are equally features of modernity.

Nigerians see the end product but they have absolute contempt for the road which led the advanced world to the glittering modernity that they desire. They do not know that more than two hundred years of philosophy, writing, and critical thought went into the conceptualization of what they see and admire in the advanced world today. They do not know that modernity and its gloss exist today because a long line of thinkers in Renaissance and Enlightenment Europe produced philosophies which became the bedrock of what we see and call modernity today.

Google the period covered by the Renaissance and the Enlightenment for an idea of how many centuries of philosophy produced the cities you admire in Europe and America today.

Nigerians do not know that all the material things they acquire in order to be able to form ajebutter and boast that “I better pass my neighbour” are products of philosophy and critical thought.

They do not know that the cars they drive are products of philosophy before being products of science and technology. They do not know that the houses they acquire in Dubai, London, Paris, and Washington, DC, are products of philosophy before being products of architecture, science, and technology.

Because Nigerians are ignorant of these things, they frown on philosophy, intellectual labour, and critical thought. The slightest encounter with philosophy and critical thought in our lives is quickly dismissed as “dogon turenchi”.

Even supposedly educated Nigerians are quick to dismiss philosophy and critical thinking and writing. You hear them say impatiently that what we need now is action and not big grammar. I am sure that when this lecture goes public, there will not be a shortage of Nigerians to grumble that it is too long, too big on grammar. They will then beat their chests and proclaim loudly in readers’ comments area that they did not bother to read beyond the first paragraph. Those who are kind will advise the author that what we need now is action, not big grammar.

That is the predictable Nigerian attitude to philosophy and critical intellection. Our contempt for philosophy and critical intellection is why we build our houses everywhere and anyhow; why we drive our cars anywhere and anyhow; why we still invest billions in the open drainages we call gutters in the 21st century and call them ultramodern; why we invest in refurbished World War II locomotives in the 21st century and boast that we are sophisticated.

Everywhere you look, our national life is a sordid and tragic display of the absence of philosophy in our conceptualization of Nigerian society. When you declare war on philosophy, knowledge, and critical intellection, the consequence, simply put, is Nigeria as you and I know her today.

Nigeria can therefore be defined as the absence of and hostility to philosophy in the life of a nation
.” – Pius Adesanmi, 2015.

Google launches Bard, its answer to ChatGPT, to trusted testers – here is what it looks like.
https://searchengineland.com/google-launches-bard-its-answer-to-chatgpt-to-trusted-testers-here-is-what-it-looks-like-392729

Interesting times ahead in the tech industry. I'm sure some content creators are already working on an article on Microsoft's ChatGPT vs Google's Bard.

I've been on ProductHunt hunting down products and tech startups built around AI. Especially since January 15.

Currently, 4 good startups have been launched on it focused on infusing ChatGPT as customer support and virtual assistant, and even CAAS - Copywriting As A Service.

One of them is even built with Headless WP. That's how fluid it is. I've signed up for the waiting list of some and watching closely. By this weekend, 3 more would launched in the coming soon section.

While others are complaining about it potentially taking their jobs, some smart guys are using ChatGPT as the base tech stack to launch startups. Truly, interesting times ahead on the digital tech front.

ChatGPT is such a powerful tool, and I think any dev or programmer that wants to survive and thrive in the years ahead need to incorporate AI into their operations.

Also, ChatGPT is a great tool for research. But its results need further verification because it sometimes gives false information and frames it as genuine, a concept experts call hallucination.

But European countries have a healthy mix of capitalism and Democratic socialism.

The Nordic countries most especially continue to be a shining light of what Democratic socialism should be. A mix of capitalism and responsible welfare.

The only question that has been asked is if their model can work in a much larger population seeing as most of their countries are under 10 to 15 million population.

Havertz what do you think?

I'm sure you're leaning towards Chinese communism. wink
Depends on the location of the country and the kind of resources that they have

I prefer stakeholder capitalism with plenty government subsidies to minimize risk

Every single soul that works for any company should earn a wage that would afford them a meaningful life, and if the company becomes successful, the benefits should be enjoyed by society at large, it’s workers and consumers not shareholders.

buhari has spectacularly fked up whatever legacy he may have had by allowing/instigating/initiating all of this nonsense on the eve of the election.

though he may ironically still be celebrated by obidients for 'promoting free and fair elections'

now that there is no cash - every campaign rally na canopy rally [with canopy on credit ]

So I've not been able to get fulls details of the Lawan-Machina case , but I got the excerpt above from Punch Newspaper's reporting of the judgement and Machina's camp reaction.

As I guessed the Supreme Court in its usual manner has used technicality deny a man who won an election(primary election in this case) what rightfully belongs to him.

Machina obtained senatorial nomination form, contested in the primary election and won. Then his party APC at the die minute submitted the name of Lawan as their candidate for the Senatorial election despite Lawan not participating in the primary election.

Machina then goes to court and claimed that APC fraudulently substituted his name for Lawan's despite the latter not participating in the primary elections. Do you know what the supreme court did?

The Supreme court in it's lead judgement knocked off Machina's case on the premise that if Machina claims his name was fraudulently substituted, then he should've called witnesses to prove the allegation of fraud instead of only filling originating summons. ( For educational purposes, this is what originating summons means: Originating Summons is one of the ways of commencing action in courts. An action commenced in this manner presupposes that the facts are not in dispute, and what is being asked for is interpretation of a document or law.)

Summary of all this is that the case was knocked off on technicality basis. The danger of this kind of precedents is that u can get away with anything in Nigeria provided ur lawyer can persuade the Supreme court to knock off a case against u on technicality basis.


One of the mistake of Machina was not contesting the June 9 primaries that produced Lawan.

Both primaries was monitored by INEC, APC claimed they canceled the first primary. School boy error from his lawyers. It was the correct decision by the SC

I'm not aware another primary was conducted. This second primary, did Lawan purchase nomination form separate for that one or what?

I thought one of the key points of the new electoral law is that u can only get nomination form and contest for one elective position.
