Recall also that a similar proposal had been voiced in the North

Do these platforms indicate failure by the federal security outfits to manage crime in the country?
In what ways will these benefit the citizens, after all costs are considered?

Good morning & welcome to #TheDiscuss.

Electoral violence, vote trading, voter register, access to polling units & diaspora voting all feature in recent agitations for electoral reforms in Nigeria.

Today, our concern is on "Reforming Nigeria's Electoral System."
@YIAGA
According to @MBuhari, his admin will ensure electoral reforms within the next 3yrs

So, what areas need reformation?
What"s being done & what can we not afford to leave out?

I think that telling a poor person who has worked hard all their life that poverty is a state of mind is like a man telling a mother that the pain of childbirth is a state of mind.

Its a thread.
You obviously need money to make money.

State of mind does not give economic capital.

Enabling environment, progressive government policies, circumstances of birth can give the economic capital that gets people out of poverty.

Most poor people lack the above and it hurts.
It is foolishness for poor people to burden themselves and die with the pain of believing that poverty is a state of mind.

It is nothing but a blame the victim strategy of the rich to make themselves feel they worked hard enough to escape poverty while the poor are lazy.

The #Nigerian judiciary is often said to be "The last hope of the Common (Wo)Man". It's a venue for deliberative decision making & authoritative statement of the standards that govern us all. The quality of decisions coming from there in recent times is now cause for concern....
4 recent decisions illustrate a worrying pattern of perverse reasoning from #Nigerian courts & tribunals. In Jan 2019, the Code of Conduct Tribunal, a body controlled by the executive arm, issued an ex-parte order to suspend the Chief Justice of #Nigeria
thecable.ng/documents-how-…
A lot of attention is rightly paid to the seriousness of charges against Chief Justice #Onnoghen. But precisely because of that, they deserved dispassionate due process. Now, few ppl will accord them serious weight because of the deep deficiency of process

The purported suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari, is an anti-democratic act which I reject in its entirety and call on Justice Onnoghen and the judiciary to resist with every legal and constitutional means that they can muster.
This brazen dictatorial act is the latest action in the ongoing rape of our nation’s hard earned democracy by those who dined with anti-democratic forces, & is symptomatic of the increasing desperation that @MBuhari & the cabal pulling the strings have as Feb 16, 2019 draws near.
The fact that the unlawful suspension of Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen was announced just as it became public knowledge that the CJN was constituting the election petition tribunals is not lost on discerning Nigerians and the international community.

The month of June started off as depressing due to certain things revolving around my writing career but I thank God that July is starting on a bright note as I got an AMVCA nomination for #Hakkunde. #IrokoTVIPInfringement
June was terrible because of the actions of @irokotv – which I’m about to spill after careful considerations. #IrokoTVIPInfringement
This is a thread on how the “Netflix of Africa” a.k.a Iroko TV (@irokotv) unlawfully & irresponsibly infringed on my copyright, made money from my work & sweat (of course w/o my knowledge, consent or permission) & are bullishly continuing to do so. #IrokoTVIPInfringement
