Great. You've escalated to the VC office. Trust you also copied the International office, registrar in. Someone mention Twitter, kindly do that as well. Below are from your university. PS: I only researched. I don't have firsthand experience of ENU. See link here and pic for extract. Apparently, 2nd attempt at Napier is considered ‘Extenuating Circumstances’ , which has its own (Link  procedureIn the circumstances, perhaps you might explore - Apply for Retrospective Extenuating Circumstances - Apply for Exceptional Extenuating Circumstances Kindly pay attention to your university's Regulation A7 (noting A7.10 & A7.11) read with A4.1b and A4.1 Regarding PGDip as opposed to MSc, my understanding of how university works, is that, indeed, you can 'exit' with a 'lesser' degree award. By its nature, PGDip does not require you to fulfill the 'thesis/dissertation' requirement. Kindly, reaffirm if you must submit thesis/dissertation for PGDip. In actual fact, what's common is for student to complete coursework and opt to exit with PGDip, instead of the MSc; by simply excluding themselves from the thesis/dissertation/project. For your university, kindly take note of Regulation A4.1[/b]a), b), [b]c) or f) which enables Napier to conferred PGDip as Aegrotat award (unclassified) to you. Read A11.11 and A4.8 (perhaps with A11.12) alongside A4.1c PS: the Scottish NQF is similar but different from England. [Disclaimer: I'm not exactly sure how this work]. You may want to explore doing the one outstanding course through Open University. Maureen4sure:#peace #AyoNio Maureen4sure:

In law, the "I saw" in this post might passed as expressing a false statement. OmoFiditi:Unfortunately, it is difficult getting a transcript or copy of the Senate proceeding for Tuesday 28 Feb. While I will be weary of relying on newspaper given the polity, I, nonetheless, take note of Punch publication of 01 March - Link: Opposition senators fault Lawan’s claims on electronic transmission Do I agree with the SP, Lawan, I disagree, yet I do not fault his asserting (that is, on the assumption that, indeed, his expression is what it purports to be. SP Lawan: ... “In the Electoral Act that we passed, there is nothing like the election transmission. What we passed is to transfer after all the paper works that we normally do while the agents and everybody there have the papers. INEC will scan or snap the result sheets and transfer them. We urge INEC to follow the Electoral Act and other laws on their guidelines.” ... Let us take a look at references to transmit/transmission in the Electoral Act, 2022. PS: Those of Electoral Act 2006 cease to be valid as they are of nullity. It is my belief that the s63 referred to in s50 is an error of omission as commonsense points to s64. Any Judge will do same on the principle of interpretation. Apparently, a device (which happens to be the much-acclaimed BVAS) shall be used for the process of voting - determine 'number' of voters for polling unit - accredit voters at polling unit - verify and record votes at polling unit - collate and transfer votes from polling unit. It is left to be seen how these will impact on interpretation of 'transmission', considering the principle of law on 'cannon of interpretation' as established. See: A quarter of a two-third. As expressed by many on this thread, interesting times are ahead. Let the Court navigate the interpretation minefield. _______________________________ Electoral Acts 2022 50.— (1) ... ... (2) Subject to section 63 of this Act, voting at an election and transmission of results under this Act shall be in accordance with the procedure determined by the Commission. 152. [Interpretation.] In this Act— “electronic format” refers to the electronic version of the Register of Voters or National Electronic Register of Election Results, as the case may be, created, recorded, transmitted or stored in digital form or in other intangible forms by electronic, magnetic or optical means or by any other means that has capabilities for creation, recording, transmission or storage similar to those means and which may be converted to or reproduced in a paper document ; 63.— [Rejection of ballot paper without official mark.] (1) Subject to subsection (2), a ballot paper which does not bear official mark prescribed by the Commission shall not be counted. (2) If the returning officer is satisfied that a ballot paper which does not bear the official mark was from a book of ballot papers which was furnished to the presiding officer of the polling unit in which the vote was cast for use at the election in question, he or she shall, notwithstanding the absence of the official mark, count that ballot paper. 64.— [Endorsement on rejected ballot paper without official mark.] [I will only extract as the BluntCrazeMan has posted verbatim s64 above.] (1) ... (4) A collation officer or returning officer at an election shall collate and announce the result of an election, subject to his or her verification and confirmation that the— (a) number of accredited voters stated on the collated result are correct and consistent with the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 47 (2) of this Act ; and (b) the votes stated on the collated result are correct and consistent with the votes or results recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 60 (4) of this Act. (5) Subject to subsection (1), a collation officer or returning officer shall use the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 47 (2) of this Act and the votes or results recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 60 (4) of this Act to collate and announce the result of an election if a collated result at his or a lower level of collation is not correct. 60.— [Counting of votes and forms.] (1) The Presiding officer shall, after counting the votes at the polling unit, enter the votes scored by each candidate in a form to be prescribed by the Commission as the case may be. (2) ... ... (4) The presiding officer shall count and announce the result at the polling unit. (5) The presiding officer shall transfer the results including total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot in a manner as prescribed by the Commission. 47.— [Accreditation of voters and voting.] (1) ... ... (2) To vote, the presiding officer shall use a smart card reader or any other technological device that may be prescribed by the Commission, for the accreditation of voters, to verify, confirm or authenticate the particulars of the intending voter in the manner prescribed by the Commission. PS: the legal position of a regulation/policy/standard/guideline emanating from an Act (or even from the Constitution) has a certain weight in law. I shall not delve into this. Why, the provision of the Act in itself, when thoroughly subject to the test of interpretation as already formulated by our Courts (especially the SC), is capable of resolving the 'impasse'. Keywords to test are: check, verify, transfer, transmit, record and the definition of electronic format. One thing is certain, the headings of each section will be scrutinised as was done in Awolowo v Shagari 1979 and other SC election cases. For interest sake, the guideline in question is the INEC Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections, 2022; clause 38 comes to mind. |

I'm unsure what's the legal basis for this: clarity, factual, emphasise, detract ... 0monnak0da:Be it as it may, I opted to provide factual 'submission' It was alleged that in FCT, Buhari led the poll with 91,217 votes, followed by Yar’Adua who polled 74,882 votes. Abubakar had 16,746 votes. The problem is, the 21 April 2007 election, under the INEC chairman Maurice Iwu, goes down in history as the first and only presidential election held in Nigeria, in which there is no official state-by-state breakdown of the candidates’ scores of the 35m votes! (from the ballots that arrived, from South Africa, the Fri night of the election). Recall that Maurice Maduakolam Iwu, a professor and then INEC chairman, declared Umaru Musa Yar’Adau of the PDP the President-elect with a figure of 24,638,063 votes without giving the detail. INEC chairman, Maurice Owu announced: CANDIDATE | RESULTS | VOTES %* Umaru Musa YAR'DUA | 24,638,063 | 69.60% Muhammadu BUHARI | 6,605,299 | 18.66% Atiku ABUBAKAR | 2,637,848 | 7.45% Orji Uzor KALU | 608,803 | 1.72% With those factual 'submission', I'll make a slight legal references (not so much of legal submission) Should we defer to the same principle (stare decisis), then we take notice that in Buhari v INEC & Ors 2007, the SC settled the 'shall' as indeed peremptory, and engaged burden of proof along with substantial proof in election (matter in Nigeria). I am in full alignment with peremptoriness of 'shall'. I also agree with the principle of burden of proof (and evidence) as elaborated by Niki Tobi JSC in the judgement, albeit I agree less of the application in the selfsame judgement. Fair to the SC though, the appeallant did not assist with the witnesses’ depositions filed at the Tribunal. The Buhari v INEC & Ors 2007 interrogate extensively s45(2) of the Electoral Act, 2006 along with ss145 and 146. Inbtw, the Okereke v Yar'Adua & Ors (SC 246/2007) [2008] 10 (09 MAY 2008) however dealt with technicalities of law: moving motions before the tribunal or court vis-a-vis pre-hearing sessions. In Abubakar, GCON & Ors v Yar'Adua & Ors (SC 72/2008) [2008] 10 (12 DECEMBER 2008), the appeal, hinged on s145(1)(d) of the Electoral Act 2006, was premised on exclusion and mutually destructive grounds of invalidity of selfsame election for reasons of (gross) corrupt practices. semmyk: 1 Share

fergie001:An interesting article on interpretation and two-thirds (pretty long) https://www./quarter-two-thirds-nigeria-winning-formula-a-kayode-adesemowo A quarter of a two-thirds: Nigeria winning formula "The word “and”, being a conjunction, performing the function of joining two expressions or sentences which could be inseparable, integrated, joint or matched." - Justice Niki Tobi in Buhari v INEC, 2008 The #Nigeriadecides2023 comes in many dimensions. I shall refrain from the politics! However, there is one dimension that resonates with the other side of me. Yep, apart from cybersecurity and multimedia, and 'pythoning', I have a postgraduate in Law, albeit labour law. I heard analysts are analysing, vehemently so, the interpretation of the "25%" requirements across two-thirds of states (in Nigeria). Lemme put off my many caps and, for the next few minutes, put on my 'legal' cap. [SUMMARY} How do we interpret the conjunctive 'and' between two conditioning sentences and the conjunctive 'and' within a conditioning sentence? This is the situation of the two-third impasse of (Constituion) s134(2) arising from #Nigeriadecides2023. An interesting aspect of law is #interpretation. Most constitutions have a provision for interpretation. In South Africa, s39(2) of the Constitution (1996 as amended) is authoritative in dictating how provisions of law are interpreted. Nigeria relies on the common law principles, called Canons of Interpretation. Why interpretation: Courts interpretive directive arises when there is an allegation of ambiguity in the understanding of the provision of law. This happens often in contracts. Interpretations are also sought in applying Acts and, often, the Constitution. Ironically, constitutions ought to be written in definitive plain language. Alas, contentions rage high. Interpreting: Interpretation must promote 'the spirit, purport and objects' of the provisions of law (constitution, acts). The courts must give credence to the construction of the provision of law (or the contract) in question. The construction is based on - the totality of the provision of law (or Act or contract) in question - the context of the provision of law (or Act or contract) in question - the language of the construction (plain, nominal, functional) Therefore the interpretive approach must not be isolating. Simply put, the wording must not be taken in isolation and/or out of context and/or out of the intent/purpose. The approach, then is to consider: - Textualism (plain meaning), - Original Meaning (founding understanding), - Structuralism (design of the Constitution), - Historical Practices (long-established), - Judicial Precedent (principles, rules, standards) In K&S v Gordon, 1985 ... the dictum stood against reading section in isolation from the enactment of which it forms a part. Doing so will offend against the cardinal rule of statutory interpretation that requires the words of a statute to be read in their context. This carries through to Natal v Endumeni, 2012 where it affirms interpreting ordinary meaning in the context of the Regulations as a whole. Natal 2012 took judicial note of the principle of purpose, totality and context already formulated in Bato, 2004. The Supreme Court of Nigeria, in dismissing the appeal in Kassim v Adesemowo 2021, affirmed that "where the words used in a statute are clear and unambiguous, the Courts are enjoined to interpret the words in their ordinary and natural meanings." The SC further stated that Courts "should give a holistic interpretation to a statute." However, where there is a lack of clarity, real or perceived, interpretation kicks in. It then follows that the provisions (and principles) of extant rulings comes into play. Two-third debacle: A rare opportunity arises for Nigeria to revisit the interpretation of two-third yet again after the 'controversial' saga of 1979, albeit in a different context. The two-third predecessor: In Awolowo v Shagari, 1979, the Supreme Court was called upon to solve the mathematical puzzle of the new democratic dispensation, inter-alia the two-third of nineteen, where 19 is the number of States in Nigeria as at then! Is two-third 12 or 12 and 2/3 or 13 States. Solving this arises from the ingenuity of lawyers advising rival candidates and imposing their submissions on the Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO), the Election Tribunal and the Supreme Court. Indeed!!, the 1979 Constitution (the 50-wise men Welfarist Constitution) was duly put to test. What was in dispute: Section 34 A (1)(c)(i) and (ii) of the Electoral Decree 1977 (No. 73 as amended) provides: a Presidential candidate will be deemed to have been duly elected to such office where he has the highest votes cast at the election; and 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. What was held: The justices (concurring and dissenting), although not ad idem, are clear about the principles of interpretation. Although they took different view and route, they took cognisance of salient circumstances: - realisation that they were interpreting a particular statute passed under special circumstances - the electoral law enacted through Decree - determination of what is two-thirds of 19 States. Essentially, they were dealing with a matter of law dealing with the interpretation of the provisions of Section 34A(1)(c)(ii) of the Decree. - They followed an interpretive approach - They defer to logical reasoning that States cannot be fractionalised for the purposes of elections - They interrogate the original (founding) meaning of the drafter of the Decree - They consider the practical and ordinal interpretation. The 2023 two-third debacle: In 2023, the declared President-elect has a quarter (25%) of votes in more than two-thirds of States in the Federation (Nigeria). The candidate has 19.76% of votes in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The second and third candidates, particularly the third candidate, contend that the INEC Chairman erred in declaring the first candidate the winner. The 2023 dispute: The contention is that the INEC chairman erred with the declaration ... ... “I certify that I am the returning officer for the 2023 presidential election held on the 25th of February 2003.” “That Tinubu Bola Ahmed of the APC, having satisfied the requirements of the law is hereby declared the winner and returned elected. The Certificate of Return to the president elect and Vice president elect will take place here at 3pm today (01 March 2023).” - {insertion mine} The 2023 two-third provision: Unlike the 1979 debacle fixated on 'mathematics', the 2023 'ambiguity' hinges on inclusion or exclusivity, (in tandem with 'representativeness' of the FCT) and the conjunction 'and'. Here is the provision of the Constitution. (NB: I consider s134 more appropriate to s133 in the situation instant) Nigeria Constitution (1999) section 134. ... ... (2) 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- (a) he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has no 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 Toward an interpretation of the two-third provision: In the applicable section of the Constitution, there are two conjunctive "and'. The first separate sub-sections 2(a) and 2(b). The second linked FCT to States. NB: I take notice that 'and' as conjunctive is 'resolved' in Nigeria's jurisprudence. [Inter conditioning sentence} At the end of s134(2)(a) is a semi-colon ";" followed by a "and". Being at the end of a sentence and in between the start of the second, the first "and" connotes a distinctness of two sentences, yet peremptorily demands the second to be 'tightly coupled' with the first. In other words, the two 'distinct' sentences must be read together and satisfied independently and jointly. {Intra conditioning sentence} In s134(2)(b), the "and" combines two phrases: States and FCT. - Is FCT a type of State? - Is FCT another State? - Is FCT a special State? If FCT is a type of State or another State, does the "and" indicates two-thirds of 37 (36 States and #1 FCT). If so, this brings us back to 1979 (the Awolowo v Shagari saga. Two-thirds of 37 gives us 24.67, which from the authority of Awolowo v Shagari 1979 will make us consider 25 States of the '37' States. If FCT is a special State, would the interpretation be 2/3 of 36 States and 2/3 of FCT being a representative special State? If so, would the Justices of the SC in 2023 defer to the dicta of the Justices in 1979 ... if two-thirds of FCT had been intended, would the 'legislature' have not said so in clear terms! Is this what it is or there is or there are other intents of the legislature? We shall see in the coming weeks/months as the Supreme Court Justices are called to interpret. {intra and inter conditioning sentence} Bringing the intra 'and' within s134(2)(b), and the inter 'and' between s134(2)(a) and (b), we would have to look at the ratio or the reasoning of the majority in Buhari v INEC 2008. Thus, it is safe to say: for the inter, there are two distinct conditions in 2(a) and 2(b) that must be satisfied independently and jointly; for the intra, there are two phrases. One is a condition, and the other is a non-conditioning expression. --- (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of ... ... all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. for the intra, we alternatively break down into two part with each having a conditioning part as --- (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and (he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at) the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. {insertion mine} PS: The writer notes the writing of s146 of the Electoral Act 2006 (which Buhari v INEC is based on) carries through to s135 of the Electoral Act 2022. Consideration of FCT as a State or special State Throwing into the mix is an existing judgement (pending implementation!!). The Appeal Court judgement, extensively interrogated s299 of the Constitution vis-a-vis the promulgation of the FCT (Decree 6 of 1976; Cap 503 LFN, 2004). [I note there purports to be a Senate resolution. The writer, (mindful of misinformation), cannot locate a/the Senate Votes and Proceeding for 31 Jan 2019). The Baba-Panya v President 2018 Appeal Court judgement places FCT as one of the States of the Federation pursuant to ... as if ... in s299 of the Constitution. I leave it for the Courts to make a determination of the construction of s134(2) of the constitution as read with s299 and s3 of the Constitution. Conclusion: Inevitably, precedent shall come to play. It will be foolhardy not to consider Awolowo v Shagari, 1979 as applicable or irrelevant. On the premise that it would be and should be the 1999 Constitution would be interpreted according to the 'Canon of Interpretation'. - The 'intent' of the legislature (in framing) would be interrogated - There was no FCT in 1979 - There was litigation about two-thirds in 1979 - The drafter of the 1999 Constitution would be considered to have 'learnt their lesson' and 'covered their ground' - FCT is given special consideration and defined in section 3 and clarified in Part III (Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Executive Body) - The 'special' dispensation of the FCT necessitates the need to consider it alongside other States so that the FCT is not disenfranchised or 'belittled'. -;The principle of democracy and social justice in s14 I will not make a pronouncement. This article gives pointers to "matters to be decided" in considering FCT in the context of the States of the Federation (of Nigeria). 1 Like 1 Share |

Incorrect or manipulated Wikipedia Snapshot. kayone2:Wikipedia Snapshot on 08 Mar 23 06:35 (NGN) Politics On 16 September 2018, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu formally declared his intention to run for the office of the governor of Lagos State under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) making him a major contender to the incumbent governor Akinwunmi Ambode.[12] His declaration attracted endorsements from major stakeholders in Lagos State politics; including the Governor’s Advisory Council of the Lagos chapter of the All Progressives Congress[13] and members of the Lagos State House of Assembly,[14] which led to withdrawal of Dr. Obafemi Hamzat,[15] a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress APC in Lagos from the gubernatorial race. He won the Lagos gubernatorial primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on 2 October 2018. At the APC flag-off campaign rally held on 8 January 2019, Governor of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode, and 63 political parties lent their support for the candidacy of Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.[16] In a landslide victory over his opponent, Jimi Agbaje, Sanwo-Olu was elected to the Office of Governor of Lagos State at the 2019 General elections for Lagos State which held on 9 March 2019.[17] He was sworn in as the 15th Governor of Lagos State at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) Lagos Island on Wednesday May 29, 2019.[18] He has been working on different development activities, one of which is road construction across major areas in Lagos state. Recently, Sanwo-olu asked that the statue of Fela Kuti that was erected by Akinwunmi Ambode be removed from Allen Avenue in Ikeja as he to ease the situation of traffic in that area. However, the statue is said to be relocated to a more convenient area in Lagos state.[19] The Governor commissioned the Oshodi - Abule-Egba BRT Lane amongst other projects in 2020.[20]

This is one issue I have with the deceitful, hypocritical, sanctimoniosly, pharaseeism, double standard, double-dealing, self-acclaimed defender of the society, getting children adopted or taking into foster care with pretense, will it gaurantee the child is properly raised? ... ? is, why do we have lots of societal ill vice in predominantly BAME areas. PS: I condemned in the strongest term, abuse in the family, whether against children or wife or husband. #NoToAbuse nnekaike: 4 Likes |

I don't have firsthand experience. However, I can chip in pending when the gurus comes on board. - By buy another house, are you referring to BTL or a second 'home' - 'Landlord ltd' or 'special purpose vehicle instrument' as it's called is often used to 'reduce' company tax obligation - claim interest on a mortgage as an expense - 'evade' the extra charge in stamp duty - be prepared for more 'paper works'. Well, what are accountants for! dustydee: 1 Like |
