The Edo State Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Benin on Friday upturned the election of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Yakubu Gowon, as the lawmaker representing Etsako West II Constituency in the Edo State House of Assembly.
Gowon had been declared the winner of the April 11 state assembly poll and returned elected to represent the constituency, where Governor Adams Oshiomhole hails from, by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
But in the judgement, Justice E. Abuua held that the APC candidate was not duly nominated by his party. The tribunal explained that the APC’s notice of intention to hold party primaries, which he sent to INEC, was less than the mandatory 21 days.
It said the notice was given on November 13, 2014, while the primaries was conducted  on December 1, 2014.  The tribunal, therefore, held that all the votes cast for the APC candidate were wasted and that the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Sylvanus Eriagha, who was the first runner up with 4,001 votes was the rightful person to be declared winner of the poll.

Please how can I retrieve my BVN? I deleted it mistakenly from my phone.

go to any of the branch of the bank you ed and request for it. Shikena!

Until we Nigerians start disposing dirts into the proper channels, this flood when there's a rain won't stop even if they build all the best drainage system. We need to change our attitude towards disposal of dirts. The government should set up a task force to see to that.

I don't doubt that letter because I've seen far worse cases than that. There are some graduates you read stuffs they wrote and you are shocked at how they can't even punctuate and spell simple words properly. The system is to be blamed.

I'm paying attention and taking notes. My family run a little poultry at home, there'd definitely be a thing or 2 i'd pick up to teach them. Nice thread OP.

I did my NYSC in Rivers state and i can say there's not too many governors in Nigeria who ruled btw 2007-2015 who built more modern schools than Rotimi Amaechi did. I'm not saying he's a saint but anybody who resides in Rivers state would say the same too. Wike can only deceive those who knows little or nothing about Rivers state. If there's a school like this in Rivers state, then its probably 1 amongst many. You'd rarely find a not too modern school in Rivers state. Wike is just an idiot.

toprealman:
LATEST KE IN NL? JUST ASSUME THAT THE SELFISH OP AND HER HEART TROUBLE LIVED HAPPY AFTERWARDS.

LOL

Wike is just a thug. I pity the people of Rivers state cos this Wike of a person is going to be worse than Fayose. Why break in to someone's home unlawfully? All his moves since he got sworn-in is to tarnish the image of Gov. Amaechi and those who worked with him instead of settling down to work. He should temporarily enjoy his stay as the governor cos the court is coming to cancel the election that brought him in. If he can swear that he didn't leave with the cars that was allocated to him while he was chief of staff in Rivers state and while he was a minister under GEJ's istration, let him swear he didn't leave with the cars. Time will tell, we'd see where he'd end up.

Special assistant to former Rivers State Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Barrister Achinike Williams-Wobodo, has declared that the immediate past istration left more than N7billion in the state government coffers.

In a statement posted on the wall of a social media platform, Facebook, yesterday, Williams-Wobodo disclosed that the sum of N1.4billion and another N800million were lodged in the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) , and Federal Allocation Committee (FAAC) , respectively in Zenith Bank.

He further disclosed that the sum of N1.7billion was lodged in another IGR in Skye Bank; the sum of N1.5billion lodged in the State Statutory Savings , and N700million in Access Bank, N350million in Guaranty Trust Bank and another N480million lodged in First Bank.

The former governor’s aide said, “The talk of no money was left in the Rivers State Government s is purely a case of malicious and criminal mischief made to deceive the unsuspecting public and to malign the person of Rt. Hon. Amaechi with the intent to misappropriate the remaining funds in those s.

“A reliable source who informed me on condition of anonymity insists that as at the close of Banking Operations on Thursday, 28th of May 2015, there were these funds in the following s: N1.4 billion + in the IGR , Zenith Bank; N800 million + in the FAAC , Zenith Bank; N1.7 billion + in the IGR , Skye Bank; N700 million + in Access Bank; N350 million + in GTB; N480 million + in First Bank and N1.5 billion + in State Statutory Savings .

“The former Rivers State governor, Rt. Hon. Amaechi left in the Rivers State Government s a cumulative amount in excess of N7 billion.”

Williams-Wobodo challenged Governor Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike to prove him wrong by making public the authentic bank statement of the s as at May 28, 2015, and urged the people of the state to demand for the funds as they exist.

The guy won't be raping the girl and be asking the girl for a beejay and if he did, then he's senseless. I suspect they are probably dating or married then a mistunderstanding broke out. Either way the girl is a vampire, they should check her genes well she's not human.

It can get better. Keep it up.

Broad day light robbery. Is their clothes made of gold that they have to get that much? I believe a thorough review of this would be done before next year cos this is utter madness.

Eh yaa!! God would give him the fortitude to bear the loss

Jonathan and his cohorts turned NNPC's bank to their personal bank . I hope baba is able to clear this mess and bring them to book.

This is techinically correct.

Build whatever stadium you want, just give us Cech

This is a giant step towards the fight against insurgency. The money would go a long way in the fight. Where are those TANoids, Jonathanians and PDPians shouting that baba is travelling up and down, have they now seen the result of his travels and meeting and this is just the beginning of better things to come. 16 days after baba took over he got the US to donate $5b something Jonathan couldn't achieve. There's no negative untone to this US , so all those saying its cos US wants Nigeria to recognize gayism in our constitution are just being mischievous and far from the truth. Sai baba!!

Is it your money? Why are you pained? Have Melaye being tagged to any misappropriation of fund? No. Have Melaye held any office that he had access to government money? No. So allow him to flaunt his money the way he wants.

This is crazy.

Even though i this call, i hope this doesnt end up causing a diplomatic roar between Sudan and SouthAfrica.

Nothing wrong bro. Go for her if you want her.

I'd rather put up with a cheating wife than a nagging wife. I can't deal with a woman always shouting and complaining over one thing or the other. But if a wife is cheating, then I can replicate and I'd be a little at peace. "Better to live on the roof than share the house with a nagging wife" - Proverb 21 vs 9... Need I say more

brixton:
the APC shot itself, I never wanted Bukola as SP but we will have to live with him now.

What does this mean for Gbajabiamila? Are we going to have the VP, SP and HoR speaker from the SW?

Saraki as the Senate President is not from SW, he is from Kwara state which is North Central.. Point of correction

Governors of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have called an emergency meeting to seek ways of reuniting the ruling party that is threatened by a major crisis over the choice of new leaders for the Senate and the House of Representatives.
TIMES confirmed at the national secretariat of the APC that the meeting was called by the chairman of the APC governors’ Forum and Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha.
A source at the secretariat said the meeting would hold by 5p.m. Monday at the Imo state governors lodge in Asokoro Abuja.
The source said the meeting would discuss how to find a solution to the crisis generated by the election of a new Senate President and Speaker.
The APC had conducted a mock election to elect candidate for the two offices on Saturday and Messrs. Ahmed Lawan from Yobe and Femi Gbajabiamila were elected as Senate President and Speaker of the House respectively.
However, the two main challengers to the posts, Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara, who are also of the party, boycotted the election and rejected its outcome.
They also vowed to defy the party and seek for the mandate of their colleagues in an election billed for Tuesday.
The APC national secretary, Mai Mala Buni had on Sunday issued a statement urging Messrs. Saraki and Dogara to abide by the decision of the party.
The two contenders rejected the plea by the party leadership and vowed to challenge the party’s candidates on Tuesday.
Osinbanjo meets with Reps elect
Meanwhile, TIMES understands that after several failed attempts by the party leadership to persuade Messrs Saraki and Dogara to drop their ambitions, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has decided to wade into the matter.
One of the lawmakers loyal to Mr. Dogara confirmed that the Vice President had invited all to a meeting, even as he said they would boycott it.
“We received text messages from the party informing us of a meeting with the Vice President today; however, we see no difference between the Vice President and those trying to impose leaders on the House of Representatives, so we would not be attending,” he said.
TIMES understands the meeting is already underway and Senators-elect are also attending. Source: http://www.timesng.com/news/headlines/184558-breaking-apc-crisis-governors-call-emergency-meeting-as-osinbajo-meets-reps-elect.html

Nigerians like last minute rush. BVN can only be done once in any bank in Nigeria provided you have an . After the registration and your biometrics is taking, the BVN would be generated after about 24hours and would be sent to the phone number you provided upon registation. Usually there's system error or network error and that's why some people after registration don't get the sms, all you need do is just goto any branch of the bank where you ed if the branch where you ed is not in close proximity to you, walk into the branch and ask for your BVN. They'd usually ask you to provide some details you used for registration (Name, date of birth), they'd search for it on their system and give it to you. Or if you're given a ticket I'd after the BVN registration, go to any of their branches in Nigeria they'd input the ticket I'd on the system and give you your BVN. You'd get the BVN card after 2-3months of registration usually. You don't need to for BVN twice, if you do it the 2nd time it won't go through as the first registration is already active. The BVN is designed so that banks can have easy access to every bank s profile, all transactions you do in all banks can easily be tracked with your BVN number. That's why when you walk into any bank branch, they'd ask you for the BVN. I hope I have enlightened someone.

The design of the headlamp and rear light wows me.

And they said Jonathan is a hero. Nonsense. Buhari is going to clean this mess.

Take a cue and redesign it to a drone. It'd be more marketable. Nice one bro.

Take things easy. This things do happen. Human wants are insatiable. Call your husband, have a heart to heart talk with him. Learn to trust him again, it'd be hard but you just have to try at least for what you both share. You'd fine.

SAI BABA!!

BVN enroller I supppose

luminousity:

Don't give up. I once had an accident last year May at Allen Junction, Ikeja after failing an interview/selection process which left a scar on my face till today, just in the name of searching for job and I still never gave up, though on a contract job since last year August via VLA and till date I am still on the high alert looking for a better offer else where.
Also those outsource agency I stated earlier are for real and they will never ask you to pay dime.
Just be patient and never stop applying massively cos you never can say which job will pay the bills at the end.

This is absolutely amazing. I'm proud to be a Mechanical Engineer. Thanks OP.
