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.

Mikel maybe considering a return back to Chelsea

-

Despite the fact that Mikel claims to be enjoying his time in China, it seems like his heart belongs somewhere else. Mikel, the talented Nigerian midfielder has hinted to the fact that he might return to Chelsea, and that returning to Chelsea is not an impossibility because he still has a good relationship with the club's management.

Hearing this makes me wonder; will Chelsea fans appreciate his return to the club?

Speaking shortly after helping Nigeria secure qualification to the World Cup in Russia, Mikel said he is open to the idea of returning to Chelsea in the future. “I didn’t have the chance to say goodbye on the pitch to the fans who stood by me for over 10 years, that itself is enough motivation for me to want to return “, Mikel said. “I’m very happy in China but then what I have learnt is that in football anything can happen. Chelsea is home to me due to my close relationship with the management of the team but I’m happy in China “.

THIS WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO SAID THAT HE WILL RETIRE AT HIS CURRENT CHINESE CLUB SOME MONTHS BACK

“Of course, I want to stay in a team for a long time, I left Chelsea after eleven years, I hope to stay in TEDA for a long time, not one or two seasons, “ Mikel was quoted as saying by Netease Sports. “If the club will not let me go, I hope to stay until the end of my career, TEDA will be my last stop.” Mikel scored his first goal for his new club in their 6-2 loss to German side St. Pauli yesterday. His goal came off a header from a well delivered free kick, which left the goalkepper of St. Pauli stranded in goal as the ball flew into the net.

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

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.
