This can also be manipulated by politicians. Why don't Ben Bruce tell his fellow rogues aka politicians to stop vote buying?

I'm not being pessimistic, but we're not going anywhere if we continue like this, even if it's 100years from now. Let's face reality.

This man thinks he always give/have the best ideas. He is just the opposite. A person is bound to make a fool of himself when he talks too much.

It's a Good idea.

The phone number u use in the registration is the phone number u will use in voting.
And once you send ur vote ur sim card will be deactivated from sending another message to INEC.

This option will work if they put mind to it.

What of those with more than 3lines

Let's be optimistic for once, at least he has ideas for a better Nigeria, what do you have, just your criticism. Like your recent President can think of something rather than call you all lazy.

Nice try but it can never work
The potential avenue for voting fraud isn’t what you are currently focusing on. Historically, only about 70% of eligible voters only ever participate in their civic duty. That leaves room to tap into the remaining 30% and it’s somewhat hard to authenticate validity of the votes if finger printing technology isn’t embedded into the process.

The votes will appear valid because they had be unique against voting register

Electronic voting without finger printing technology can be compromised

Why must this albino embarrass himself every month.
Re: Ben Bruce's Voting By SMS: Nigerians React (Photos) by wristbangle: 7:34pm On Jul 19, 2018
They will still rig the result. The government will manipulate the data from NCC server to their favour.

I feel the only way to have a free and fair election is if the voting system is outsourced to a thirty party in top tech countries and from there they announce the result but still this idea looks foolish.

How can a sitting senator make this foolish idea? Smh for this country.
Re: Ben Bruce's Voting By SMS: Nigerians React (Photos) by Smarkie: 7:35pm On Jul 19, 2018
i think it a nice idea. let the ncc introduce something like bvn in the banking sector that will link multiple sims to one owner

What happens to individuals with multiple sim cards?

I couldn't agree more

But if they see they can't manipulate this system they won't even go near it

In a country that doesn't even hv a credible database of its citizens? It is via fone that u don't know who is who u want to use to vote? We are just confused. Fulani herdsmen from syria will come and vote also. Nonsense talk
Re: Ben Bruce's Voting By SMS: Nigerians React (Photos) by deebrownneymar: 7:39pm On Jul 19, 2018
Ben Bruce is just an idiot seeking attention. He's not doing anything in the Senate neither is He doing anything for his constituent.
Re: Ben Bruce's Voting By SMS: Nigerians React (Photos) by selfemployed(m): 7:41pm On Jul 19, 2018
If you know the amount of money budgeted for the election. Our leaders are not interested in making this country to work.. They're interested in looting it dry.
Re: Ben Bruce's Voting By SMS: Nigerians React (Photos) by chukzyfcbb: 7:42pm On Jul 19, 2018
This our common sense senator that has left bayelsa constituents wondering what he used the allocation for.

Re: Ben Bruce's Voting By SMS: Nigerians React (Photos) by Kingosytex(m): 7:42pm On Jul 19, 2018
that will even make the rigging much easier. all you just need 2 do is give the NCC boss some money and the next is history!!!

Before u do mobile voting they are some factors u need to consider!
1.) have u considered people with multi sim? Like me i have 2 android phone with 4 registered sims, meaning i can vote 4 times.
2.) have u also considered underage people voting? Cos some of my students in primary school have phones and they can vote! While voting is meant for matured adult of above 18 years!
3.) it is better to give individuals 5k each than to give service provider network 5billion naira to rig!
4.) have u considered mobile phone voting safe, cos new hackers may spring up during process!
