Sanwo Olu is bending over backwards

I agree, school is not a place for partisan politics

This one just reminded me of the practice of wrapping ones books in school. I wonder why we did that now 🤔

Melvyn11:
I don't see how a student wrapping his book with a newspaper that has a politician on it a campaign or bringing politics into the school. It's just a wrapped book . The school has no justification or reason whatsoever.

Sanwo-Olu e don do oh! You are now reacting to pretty much everything and this is not a good look on you.

Sending the student home was excessive in my opinion. The principal should have asked the student to remove the poster and take it home or confiscate the poster. Better still, the principal should have called the parents and inform them of the incident.

In the principal's defense, secondary schools should not be converted to campaign grounds or places to make political statements. Junior secondary school students are not eligible voters, consequently, this is ill advised by the parents because it is capable of causing unnecessary distraction and disruption.

Imagine if every junior secondary school student starts using posters of the different political parties as wraps for their books? Where does it stop? While early voter education through the academic curriculum is good, partisan politics and campaigns have no place in junior secondary schools.

What do you think?

Seun is a bigot

No wonder he hasn't been able to end tribalism on nairaland

Baba, nothing will come out of that election case. I had a discussion with one of my oga's recently and he said Supreme court justices after listening to the facts of the case, they also consider other factors like political stability of the country and the general atmosphere when writing their judgement. If this was not the case, the 2007 election that brought Yar Adua to power would've been nullified simply on the facts of that case.

I found the whole thing head scratching , but it is what it is. look at Imo State election case, the justices obviously didn't weigh much on factors like political stability of the state when declaring Hope Uzodinma governor elect and see what has happened. You will be surprised how the supreme court justices will brush aside this Electoral guideline by INEC like it doesn't really matter.

Read this article below, u will get a better understanding of why most people do not actually have much hope in the whole court process

Bros if you see girls some of my guys Dey pull from naija ehn but I no need advise those ones.

I also only support bringing someone you’ve been with or married in Nigeria…. Finding wife after you japa is never advisable

BlueRayDick:
As regards the principal sending out the pupil for using Peter Obi’s poster to wrap his textbook, I think both the parents of the pupil and the principal are wrong .

Going by the tweet I saw online allegedly by the parent of the child ; the parents appear to be fanatics and seem to delibrately used that particular poster wrap the books for reasons best known to them.

The principal on the other hand appears to be an partisan overzealous civil servant who thinks she’s doing her employers favors by stamping the authority of her political party in her work place . Unfortunately she played herself and her employers will most likely throw her under the bus . She could’ve asked the child to bring his parents and have a sit down talk with them in the dangers the Obi poster on the back of his book poses in this confusing times . But obvioulsy she would not do that as a big woman that she is ; probably level 16 or 17 officer in the civil service .

One thing is sure , all parties have learnt their lessons the hard way .

Bros you know this thing isn't a one-piece -fit- all situation. The challenges for Nigerians in diaspora relating to relationship is enormous and sometimes it's not all that easy holding down relationship with your kind over there, I mean there a lot of videos of women abroad begging for husband and the same with men. There are a lot of single Nigerians abroad lonely and it all boils down choosing the lesser evil. I met someone years back in UK a woman in her late 40s without a kid or husband, she even said she would have preferred earlier on of bringing someone and got disappointed, she kept having hope till everything fell apart, she mentioned how she has been sending all her money to Nigeria to her siblings and their kids and she felt regret she had no one to call her own.

Telling people to marry from their environment is a "wishful thinking" because there's also likelihood you won't get someone from your environment or you might get someone with baggages more worse than "disappoinment" from someone you brought from Nigeria. For every story of "misbehaving" wife or husband from Nigeria there are couple of other stories that worked out but didn't make headlines.

My point is none of these are cast on stone, choose your "poison" and get comfortable with any outcome, have the mindset to let go of the "sunken cost" whichever way it appears.

No matter all that will be said or how many people got burnt, some Nigeria in diaspora will always come back to naija to pick wives and husbands and get it right and also some people in diaspora will get married from their environment and
still have unpleasant stories. I guess that's life

Most times the cultists that run for office are not the top dogs but cult affiliates, so the school and even the general student body might not know or know for sure.

If you are close to the situation you might know while the rest of the school will just be feeding off vague rumours.

Roland17:


Precedence is significant when courts make ruling on issues, especially issues as sensitive as elections because the consequences can be dire. PO and his team would have to present "overwhelming" proof of any claims they are going to make to get any favorable judgement. The court, more than any other institution measures the temperature of the country. General pockets of violence, intimidation or manipulation may not be enough, it doesn't make it right but it is the truth.

Also, the party that appointed the Justices of the High, Appeal and Supreme Courts will play an important role in this situation. If PO and LP are able to get a favorable judgement in the High Court, then they stand a good chance of pushing this thing all the way to the Supreme Court. However, if the High Court's judgement is unfavorable, then it makes his task more herculean because the Appeal Court usually side with the ruling of the lower court. It is a tricky one for PO but if he believes he has enough then by all means, after all, it is his right as a Citizen of the country.

PO is experienced with fighting elections through the court, that should count for something.

I hope you will be at the forefront of everything?

Lose election. Lose in court. Then you will take to the streets? I wish you well.

There are some good girls in Nigeria.. but they re only but a few..

I think most Nigerian girls will pretend and camouflage like a chameleon if you have all they need.. even the retired oloshos will play to your books and even pretend to high heavens..

For me, if I reach greater heights.. it's better a giirl from an already made home show me shege than a girl you picked from trenches to come and show you shege after you must have elavated her..

Emaprince:
@Ibime what time is that usman fight

Drone17:

I think the Tribunal is an Appeal Court already. You are right about how the courts make judgements, especially the SC.

I believe the evidence PO and his lawyers want to show is in the collation of the results and not the credibility. That's why he said he is challenging the process, so that the court will not just be looking at who won but whether the process is viable especially in the future.

Courts have overturned governorship elections and so there should be a precedence in overturning presidential for the sake of our democracy. Just as you said, PO will have to present overwhelming evidence to stand a chance. For me any evidence that does not suggest miscalculation of ballots will not stand a chance.

Agadinaagwuofe:

He only needs to prove that some polling units miscalculated his votes and was disenfranchised and lay claim to a substantial votes and once proven he will be awarded the votes. I am saying this with emphasis on what happened in Imo state governorship. Hope went to court to prove his stronghold was disenfranchised and concocted a tangible amount of votes as claim that those are the numbers that he could have gotten, when the SC established that he was truely disenfranchised they awarded him the votes that's how he became Governor. Everyone knows that he couldn't have amass such if the votes were to be done in reality. The same thing here if PO can establish that his votes were disenfranchised in some of the PUs and lay claim to amount of votes that's substantial to make up the number he can actually be declared a winner. I insist that Wike made it easier for LP to lay claim on substantial votes. Once they prove that the LP votes were suppressed they can lay claim to votes in millions and also the same with other units they have such discrepancies. I am just comparing the outcome with already established outcomes not even making technical input. He has a chance what is remaining to see is what line of technicalities the justices might decide to tow.

Drone17:

Exactly my thought too. I believe this is also the reason his lawyers are more hungry to get hold of the original election materials. They know that the only evidence is to prove that his votes were either miscalculated or misappropriated.

But if they go the way of not uploading of BVAS like PDP is doing then there will be no chance.

I am also sensing that PDP agents accross the federation may be assisting PO as they have the original results from all the PUs. Hence the rumours of a collaboration.

It won't happen.

It will blow over and will all be forgotten once Sanwo Olu wins.
