KEYWORDS Electoral Act, Margin of lead principle, Election, Constitution, INEC’s Regulations and Guidelines for the conduct of Elections. INTRODUCTION Amidst the vibrant tapestry of democracy, one timeless element reigns supreme: the sacrosanct ritual of elections. Nowhere is this revered practice more evident than in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where it finds its rightful place in the very heart of the Constitution. Truly, the Constitution stands as “the fons et origo,” an unwavering beacon of governance and the “grundnorm”—the bedrock upon which the entire legal framework takes form, meaning and origin from.

Finally, Neymar Jr. reveals why he left Barca for PSG

-
Despite many attempts to keep the player at Barca, Neymar ended up breaking the hearts of Barcelona fans by eventually leaving the club for the French giants, Paris Saint German (PSG).
 In as much as he was having a lovely time at Barca, Neymar still insisted on leaving the club and people have been wondering why. Some say it’s because of the money; that such an amount offered to him is irresistible and attractive. Some say it’s because of issues he was having at the club concerning tax, whereas some people believe that it’s because Neymar wants to leave the shadows of Lionel Messi and go on to be the Best Player in the World. 

Finally, the reason why Neymar left Barca has been revealed: 

NEYMAR insists he swapped Barcelona for Paris to grab Champions League glory.

Paris Saint-Germain smashed the world transfer record when they captured the Brazil star from the Nou Camp for £198million last month. An eye-watering £500,000-a-week is also being paid into his bank account.
But the man who won eight major trophies in four seasons alongside Lionel Messi in Spain says his new club has more chance of winning the Champions League than his last.
His makes a European debut for his new club against Celtic at Parkhead tomorrow.
Neymar, 25, said: “One of my biggest reasons for joining PSG was to help the club write history.  The Champions League is not the only trophy we want to win — but it is a very important trophy.
“The aim this season is to try and win it — that is the level the club are now at. I do believe we are capable of winning the tournament.

He also went further to elaborate on why he thinks PSG will carry the champions league, as he explained that they have a lot of players with quality and experience: 
“Not only do we have the quality but we have the experience — the players who know what it takes to win the Champions League.
“I have won the tournament, Dani Alves has won it three times, Thiago Motta has won it at Barcelona and Inter, Angel Di Maria has won it with Real Madrid.  We not only have quality but real experience.”
And the Brazilian says he is unfazed about his record-smashing price tag.
He said: “Transfer fees have nothing to do with the players. All we are interested in is playing for clubs where it will be a great challenge and where we can be successful.
“The business of the transfer fee is between the two clubs — players just want to concentrate on the football.”

The Most Wanted Person In Nigeria: Where is IFEANYI DIKE ?

There are certain things we've witnessed in Nigeria that has embarrased us but this...this is a National disgrace. Witnessing this happen in Nigeria has got me wondering how secure we are in this country with this level of incompetence from the Nigerian Police. For those of you who don’t know, a 200 level student identified as Ifeanyi Dike confessed to rapping an 8yr old girl and cutting off her body parts, including her vagina, to use for money rituals. The part that has got me ragging is that this young man was caught by vigilantes and then he was handed over to the NIGERIAN POLICE for prosecution. On arriving at the police station, something “funny” happened. He escaped ! Can you imagine that ? Like who would have thought that we had a “Michael Scofield” in Nigeria ? Is this the ‘Prison Break’ movie ? If I was in charge, I would have sacked/punished everyone who was on duty at that time and who’s duty post was incidental to that escape. This is preposterous ! How can

by Opubo Nengia Esq. and Faith Agbator Esq. INTRODUCTION With the unhindered rise of unemployed youths and graduates, the need for more job creators (in form of entrepreneurs) rather than job seekers cannot be overemphasized. In recognition of this undeniable fact, educational institutions have introduced skill acquisition programs in order to equip students with the necessary skills and the ability to critically think about other innovative sources of income finetune their skills to fruition. In like manner, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) further embraced the importance of skill acquisition through the emergence of SAED courses/programs taught to Corps Members at their various deployment camps. In this context, governments have increasingly begun to focus on entrepreneurship as a means of creating quality jobs, boosting the wider economy’s productivity and growth, and delivering market-based innovations to possible developmental challenges.

This game turned out to be as expected, with everyone predicting that Man City will finally go top of the league ahead of Arsenal and continue their dominance going forward. It only took City 3 minutes to get the party started, as Fulham’s Tim Ream was negligent in his 18 yard box by tripping Julian Alvarez in the penalty box. Erling Haaland took the penalty and scored from the spot kick.  Once the first blood was drawn, it was City all the way - in control of the majority of the possession and dictating the run of play. City made several attempts to double their lead with multiple attempts from Riyad Mahrez, Kyle Walker and Julian Alvarez but eventually, it was Fulham that got the equalizer in the 15 th  minute of the game. The goal came from Vinicius, assisted by Harry Wilson. With that goal making it stalemate, the game was back on. Mancity continued dominating possession; Fulham’s Tim Ream was then injured, taken off and was replaced by Issa Diop. There was also the Jac
