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.

UNIVERSITY OF PORT HARCOURT PULLS OUT OF A.S.U.U.

-
  One thing that has consistently made the headlines in Nigeria is strike. Either university lecturers are going on strike because they haven’t been paid salaries or student aiding strike because of poor educational environment/ increment of school fees, or one union or the other is threatening to go on strike.
Strike is a mechanism used by Labour Unions to compel their employers heed to their demands after all other mechanisms have been deployed.
 The issue of strike in Nigerian Universities has been so prevalent that students now take it as a norm. Some Nigerians even prefer studying abroad because in Nigeria, a student can spend more than his required time for a particular course of study due to consistent strikes. That is, a student studying a course meant to be studied for 5yrs might spend 8-10 yrs for that course as a result of strikes, while their counterparts studying abroad finish school and start putting their education to good use. If you are in the ‘strike situation’ don’t be scared okay because life is not about who starts first but about how well you take your chances so take your time and be the best you can be.

Whether you are happy abut the strike or not, I believe it’s about time that the government be pro-active rather than being reactive to matters like this because education is very sacrosanct and should be treated as such.

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 !

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. In fact, a study o
