This is just too much for somebody to pass through.

This country needs to be completely reexamine.

please tag them on BBC,CNN and aljazera, call the attention of the foreign media because this folks in our country will do nothing about it,they only care about themselves , I am sick of that country Rigging everywhere

You're even lucky that your name came out. Ibeju lekki is not left out too.
Ghost name everywhere

I got home around 12 mid night yesterday. Adhoc staff in edo

Sorry bruh! But this has been going on in Naija since I was in primary school ... the problems in Nigeria is the people ... FACTS! Plus nobody will fight for or help you, in fact 99% of people reading this might comment and then move to Tonto Dike or Bobrusky topic which is probably the same thing you used to do when the issue didn't affect you directly.

kcboy34:
The Corper guy(my PO) just called me, he said the man they brought to his polling unit to replace me was an underground person for one of the political parties...

He said the man did not do anything because he had little knowledge about the job... The workload was more on him(PO) and the lady(APO1)..

He said they left the RAC this morning due to errors they had to correct...


Am beginning to suspect that the reason they removed most of us was for rigging purpose....


I want to whole world to see this... I can defend my claims with proves any day anytime...

Please Seun lalasticala and mynd44 kindly help push to front page....

Bros as soon as I was done reading your story I deduced two things, it was either done so the could keep the money meant for you or for rigging purpose I’m surprised who had to receive a call to find out.

Same thing happened to me, exactly same situation.

Mr Y.H Kola, SPO in Agbeyangi ward, Ilorin East local government, he replaced my name with someone I am sure didn't attend the training.

After attending the badly organized training for three days.
I wasn't paid training allowance.

INEC is a cheat, why is lagos paying 4,500?
I wonder how people of such character will ensure a fair election.

Same happen in eti osa local government a day to election when we heard a new list have been pasted in the morning. No -apo3 was removed the work load was on much apo1 and apo2. Apo vp1 and apo3 was absent they wasn't present in the day of election and the eo refuse to add people .. I amost fainted yesterday wen we saw the crowd that are already in my polling unit we were only 3 to do the job we reach the polling unit by 10 in the morning so can not address she was afraid of angry people. I as an Apo 2 was doing a job of 3 people I left the collection center by 11 dia morning until now haven't collect my training money

Good morning nairalanders,

I would like to share my little experience and the challenges I encountered at the INEC office in Orile-Agege LGA, Lagos.

First of all this information is not to discredit INEC as a body but to tell Nigerian's how the EO of INEC in Orile-Agege has compromised her responsibilities there.
I would try as much as possible not to mention names except the names of INEC officials.


Few Months ago I saw a thread on Nairaland about the recruitment of INEC Ad-hoc staffs by INEC, so being qualified for the job, I decided to apply on the Inec website for the job.

The next day I decided to go and really get information from the INEC office close to my home concerning the job, they told me that they are not accepting the online Applicants that you have to apply physically at the office for you to have any opportunity of getting the job...

Luckily for me the form was still on so I decided to fill the form. But before I got the form I had to beg and beg, they said form has finished and there was no time to photocopy because they were busy giving out PVC's.. I had to pay 1000 naira before they finally gave me the form to fill.

Then and there I descovered that they are not following the online requirements for application, anyone who hasn't even gotten to secondary school before can apply for a job meant for potential Corpers (Penultimate Students), Corpers and Ex Corpers.


Few weeks after I got a message from INEC asking me to come for 3 days training from Thursday 31st January 2019 to Saturday 2nd February, 2019. 2pm daily at Government College school Ipaja road, Agege.

I was extremely happy afterall efforts have not been wasted. So the Thursday came, I took permission earlier from work. I rushed down to the Government College by 12pm and I saw nobody. The security man told me that there was nothing happening there on that day and so I decided to check their office maybe they changed the location... When I got to their office they said they have Rescheduled the training days to Friday, Saturday and Sunday.... I went home very disappointmented at least they should have concluded plans before choosing date or better still, send us another text for the rescheduled date.


The NEXT day which was Friday I went to the training ground again around 2pm... See crowd just like a BBNaija audition center... Over 5000 people still waiting for the officials to come.
When they came, they started pasting names on the doors of each class room. Everyone started looking for their names... They just scattered names, I was wondering why they didn't input the names alphabetically to make it easier for people to see their names considering the large numbers of trainees and how big the school compound is...
It took me over 2 hours to see my name.


I entered the classroom, hooked up with some guys in the class. We were all waiting for everyone and everywhere to be calm... Around past 6. The SPO(Supervising Presiding Officer) introduced himself to us as our SPO and a Lecturer from Unilag. He started lecturing.
By past 7pm everywhere became dark so he stopped and told us to resume 8am in the class on Saturday.

The classes held from 8am to 7pm on Saturday and Sunday (I had to miss church on Sunday to avoid stories).

NOTE: no form of exam/test was done in my class, we complained to him that other classes was writing exam. He said that exam would not be marked, that it was attendance that mattered most.

After the three days intensive training they said they would get back to us.

Few days after the training one of the guys I met at the training center called me that they have started pasting names of successful trainees at Their office, I told him maybe I wasn't chosen because I didn't see any text... He said nobody got text so I took myself to the INEC office that day... See another set of crowd looking for names...(what would it have cost them to send text to successful trainees, that would have reduced the crowd coming to look for names)
They pasted list on already pasted lists.. they didn't care if people choked their self to death... Come and see people fighting to look at list...(very disorganized)

To cut the long story short...
I saw my name as APO2. On the list some names came out 3,4 and 5 times on different wards and NO APO3 on all the lists.... Out of 60+ people in my class only 3 of us saw our names... Same thing applies to every class... Everyone started asking who are these names on the list.... We descovered that over 80% of names on the list didn't come for training....
I felt very bad for people that didn't see their names... The officials came out to address the people complaining about the list.... They said, they should all go to the RAC center that most names on the list will not come for the job, they would replace them with people available for the job....


On February 15th(Presidential Election Eve) I went to my RAC center at 3pm....(the whole world heard what happened and the conditions they left us in but unfortunately only the Corpers were mentioned in news... Nobody considered or talked about the other ad-hoc staffs)

On February 16th I got a call that they have started paying trainee fees so I rushed down to the INEC office only for me to see that only Corpers were being paid...

On February 22nd(reschedule presidential election Eve) I got another call that they started paying other ad-hoc staffs their training fees so I rushed down to the INEC office to collect my training fees... When I got there I saw a new list... They said we should look for our names again and write out the ward/unit and we are to use the information plus an ID card to get our 4500 naira.

To my greatest surprise I couldn't see my name on the list... They changed some names on the list... In my mind I said thank God I took pictures of the list where my name is and my SPO,PO(Corper) and APO1 can testify to it. They replaced my name with a name without phone number... We couldn't call the person to know who the person was ... I wasn't the only one with this issue.... I went in to explain the situation... The INEC officials said they can't pay me if my name is not on the new list... I even showed him the picture of the the list where my name is and he said "sorry we are working with this new list"... In my heart I felt pain... I have been robbed of my hard earned labour and I have nobody to fight for me....

I asked them if I can still do the ad-hoc job, they said yes.... The INEC officials said I should just move with my team to the RAC center (which means that they know that those names they replaced us with are ghosts, they won't come for the job)..

I also asked on what assurance do I have that I would be paid after working... They said the attendance of those that worked would be used to pay us not this list...

So I accepted my faith, went home, freshened up, moved to my RAC... All my sufferings would not be in vain... After all I have had sleepless night at the RAC before, done 3 days stressful training so I have more to loose if I don't go....

I got to the RAC around 6pm, met with my team... Waited for materials to come in...
This time they gave us Mat to sleep on, they gave Corpers Camp bed to sleep on....
Around 11pm election materials started coming in...

Around 12am They called all the PO's(Corpers) and started distributing materials to them...

They finished disturbing the election materials around 4am on election day...

The INEC official(Mr Deji) at our RAC(Ward8) started calling attendance with the list they used in paying trainee fees...

The SPO's complained that most people on the list given to them are not around... They had shortage of manpower...

It was already 6am Mr Deji said orders was given to him by the EO not to replace anyone...
Some polling units had only one person on ground.... Remember EO has removed all APO3 so 1 man(PO) is left to do the job of 4(PO, APO1,APO2 and APO3).

The Corpers said they can't go to field without complete team... People like me were on ground to fill in but Mr Deji said No...

I don't want to work for free, I called some other people at other RAC(under same EO) they said their SPO's had replaced absentees with people on ground since 3am...

9am Corpers were still at the RAC, election observers, Media and the likes have started coming to know what is happening at our RAC(ward 8 awa ul islam primary school at oba akran road headed by Mr Deji)..

We(those of us that was robbed) started begging the Corpers to go because we didn't want the election to end up badly...

As at 10am the Corpers left the RAC.

At 11am Mr Deji left the RAC with a danfo(yellow bus)

Unknowingly to us he went to pick up his people wherever they were to replace the vacant spots...
The Corper I was suppose to work with called me around 12pm that Mr Deji brought someone to his RAC to fill in the empty space APO 2 (my rightful position)..
He told the Corper that they took me to another polling unit... While they left us all at the RAC...

Some people that their names isn't on the "new list" and still followed the corpers to the polling units were changed around 1pm, they brought them back to the RAC...

Now these people wasn't trained nor pass through the stress people like me passed through....

The only names they didn't tamper with was the names of Corpers...

The reason I am sharing my experience with Nigerians is for them to know what people like me who doesn't have anyone in high position is passing through....

It is obvious that Mr Deji has used his position to compromise the election process at ward 8 and I am of the believe that the EO is aware because she came to the RAC around 5am... She didn't come down from the bus... She called Deji into the bus, they spoke for few minutes and she saw the situation on ground but didn't interfere... The SPO's called her attention to the issue but she told them that Deji would handle it then she drove off...

There are 41 polling units and 8 voting points at that Ward... Ward 8 has been compromised by Mr Deji the RAC center official.


Please pardon my grammatical errors if any and kindly help me push this to front page so the world can see this...

I would still post this on other social media platforms as I have no money to sue INEC for the pains they made me pass through....

I believe someone with a good heart and the might would stand up to fight for us.... It's unfair.
Thanks.
Clifford Kelvin.

Eh yah! sorry bro. same thing also happened to me at that same Orile agege INEC office. After parabulating d place so much until d election was postponed on Feb16, I just lost hope in the job already cos I attended d 3days rigorous trainings. I later went there on Feb20 cos I was informed that they are paying training allowances only to get there to meet nothing ( was devastated cos I wasted my tfare that fare). Then I noticed that d lists pasted on the walls has all been washed out only to be told another new sabotaged list is gonna be released d next week.
What pained me most was that i wasn't paid my training allowances after all the stress and money I've wasted.
But I have already leave them to their creator

Almost same thing happened to us in surulere local government, about 3 weeks ago i went for training for adhoc staff for 2019 elections in Surulere local government, Lagos.  The list for APO's was released and my name was included.I proceeded to my rac center and slept in an uncompleted building with mosquitoes over night,then we heard the elections have been postponed. About 5 days after, I was at the inec office to check the list,the list was replaced with a new one.I didnt find my name on the
new list and the inec officials said there is nothing they can do. Over 3 days of training, sleeping in an uncompleted building at the rac centre,time,energy and money spent could not go in vain like that.I spoke to one of the SPO''s and he asked me to come to the RAC center that lots of people wouldn't show up. I went there n we replaced those that didn't show up.they didn't pay our training allowance or any other allowance,there was no APO3 so as the APO1 I controlled the queue and checked pvc and directed people to their right polling units.I did the job of two people,we were told they would collect our account details for payment but when I went to meet one of the SPO''s he told me to go home and rest.CORRUPTION IS EVERYWHERE

oboy dis one weak me oo, u mean u served ur country with all ur strength, even without coletin kobo

gloria34:

This is what happened in 2015 the worst part of it is that since 2015 I have not been paid after all the suffering and rain that beat us at night! I used my money to treat myself because I contacted pneumonia!. I didn't even borther myself this year.

This is wicked generation!

i feel for u, that's i don't expect anything from government, u will never get it, only God gives.

When I did the job of INEC Ad hoc Officer some years ago, it was true that my name featured on their list, but what baffled me was that after the election, my name and that of others disappeared from the payment list.

Thank God for the woman that helped me enrol for the job. Her sister was the Chairperson of the Local Government where I was posted. Through her, they manufactured a fresh name that has nothing to do with my name, and asked me to tell them that's my name. A name of an opposite sex for that matter!
I did as I was told and to my bewilderment I was paid, not the actual amount though. They still reduced the pay, but I thank God because many Ad hoc officers that we did the job together were not paid afterwards.

What they did was that, they used us to do the election, then used the names of their family and friends to collect the pay.

Can Nigeria be redeemed?

@ Op, I pray that your post go viral and that someone gets interested and fight for you.

you are very correct my sister also complained bitterly about one mr Deji at Agege, she replaced one APO2 since the person failed to show up at the Rac upon getting to the poling unit after 3-4 hours this Mr Deji came to mark name and he saw her name wasnt there replace her with his people not even considering the fact that the election was on going. My sister was really helpless she said she wished she can send some tout to beat the man up
Note: My sister also attended the 3 days training.

On February 16th I got a call that they have started paying trainee fees so I rushed down to the INEC office only for me to see that only Corpers were being paid...

On February 22nd(reschedule presidential election Eve) I got another call that they started paying other ad-hoc staffs their training fees so I rushed down to the INEC office to collect my training fees... When I got there I saw a new list... They said we should look for our names again and write out the ward/unit and we are to use the information plus an ID card to get our 4500 naira.

To my greatest surprise I couldn't see my name on the list... They changed some names on the list... In my mind I said thank God I took pictures of the list where my name is and my SPO,PO(Corper) and APO1 can testify to it. They replaced my name with a name without phone number... We couldn't call the person to know who the person was ... I wasn't the only one with this issue.... I went in to explain the situation... The INEC officials said they can't pay me if my name is not on the new list... I even showed him the picture of the the list where my name is and he said "sorry we are working with this new list"... In my heart I felt pain... I have been robbed of my hard earned labour and I have nobody to fight for me....

I asked them if I can still do the ad-hoc job, they said yes.... The INEC officials said I should just move with my team to the RAC center (which means that they know that those names they replaced us with are ghosts, they won't come for the job)..

I also asked on what assurance do I have that I would be paid after working... They said the attendance of those that worked would be used to pay us not this list...

So I accepted my faith, went home, freshened up, moved to my RAC... All my sufferings would not be in vain... After all I have had sleepless night at the RAC before, done 3 days stressful training so I have more to loose if I don't go....

I got to the RAC around 6pm, met with my team... Waited for materials to come in...
This time they gave us Mat to sleep on, they gave Corpers Camp bed to sleep on....
Around 11pm election materials started coming in...

Around 12am They called all the PO's(Corpers) and started distributing materials to them...

They finished disturbing the election materials around 4am on election day...

The INEC official(Mr Deji) at our RAC(Ward8) started calling attendance with the list they used in paying trainee fees...

The SPO's complained that most people on the list given to them are not around... They had shortage of manpower...

It was already 6am Mr Deji said orders was given to him by the EO not to replace anyone...
Some polling units had only one person on ground.... Remember EO has removed all APO3 so 1 man(PO) is left to do the job of 4(PO, APO1,APO2 and APO3).

The Corpers said they can't go to field without complete team... People like me were on ground to fill in but Mr Deji said No...

I don't want to work for free, I called some other people at other RAC(under same EO) they said their SPO's had replaced absentees with people on ground since 3am...

9am Corpers were still at the RAC, election observers, Media and the likes have started coming to know what is happening at our RAC(ward 8 awa ul islam primary school at oba akran road headed by Mr Deji)..

We(those of us that was robbed) started begging the Corpers to go because we didn't want the election to end up badly...

As at 10am the Corpers left the RAC.

At 11am Mr Deji left the RAC with a danfo(yellow bus)

Unknowingly to us he went to pick up his people wherever they were to replace the vacant spots...
The Corper I was suppose to work with called me around 12pm that Mr Deji brought someone to his RAC to fill in the empty space APO 2 (my rightful position)..
He told the Corper that they took me to another polling unit... While they left us all at the RAC...

Some people that their names isn't on the "new list" and still followed the corpers to the polling units were changed around 1pm, they brought them back to the RAC...

Now these people wasn't trained nor pass through the stress people like me passed through....

The only names they didn't tamper with was the names of Corpers...

The reason I am sharing my experience with Nigerians is for them to know what people like me who doesn't have anyone in high position is passing through....

It is obvious that Mr Deji has used his position to compromise the election process at ward 8 and I am of the believe that the EO is aware because she came to the RAC around 5am... She didn't come down from the bus... She called Deji into the bus, they spoke for few minutes and she saw the situation on ground but didn't interfere... The SPO's called her attention to the issue but she told them that Deji would handle it then she drove off...

There are 41 polling units and 8 voting points at that Ward... Ward 8 has been compromised by Mr Deji the RAC center official.


Please pardon my grammatical errors if any and kindly help me push this to front page so the world can see this...

I would still post this on other social media platforms as I have no money to sue INEC for the pains they made me pass through....

I believe someone with a good heart and the might would stand up to fight for us.... It's unfair.
Thanks.

Bruh this ur story just confirm what a guy in my ward went tru....even while we were fighting for the guy to be fixed with the unit he had been working wif, The spo and some other inec officials refused and kept saying the replacement cant be done by them...thanks to our consistent and resilient protest couple with the effort of some of the corp members who stood for what was right they had to fix up that guy wif another unit...something they initially claimed couldnt be done by them...

ok

The country is long due for restructuring

reconstructing the building or files or what, what we need is behavioral change, we need to change our behavior, our mentality, our orientation, that's one can only start in the family, in the church, before it get to places of work.

Almost everything the OP has narrated happened last in ikorodu as well..



May God help this country

because of the restriction of movements... I got home around 7pm yesterday...

I was in tears...
I lost alot of money and time for this job...
I couldn't even see what was going on outside...
I couldn't vote...
So if I don't know anybody I can't achieve anything in this country...

Please I want every Nigerian to see this...
Please moderators should help me put this on front page....
The only weapon we the oppressed have against the oppressors is the media...
If I had the means I would have sued INEC to court...

Go to twitter, Create a thread and tag segalink. He'd surely help.

lucky you.... I have done wrong by trying to assist my dear country

No you did nothing wrong, I feel Sorry for you.
Here in Kano same thing almost happen but with the interfering of Kano State Emirate, everything went well.
I'll advise you to meet the local traditional rulers and some NGO in your area. Just make a team of about 20, then go and complain

Good morning nairalanders,

I would like to share my little experience and the challenges I encountered at the INEC office in Orile-Agege LGA, Lagos.

First of all this information is not to discredit INEC as a body but to tell Nigerian's how the EO of INEC in Orile-Agege has compromised her responsibilities there.
I would try as much as possible not to mention names except the names of INEC officials.


Few Months ago I saw a thread on Nairaland about the recruitment of INEC Ad-hoc staffs by INEC, so being qualified for the job, I decided to apply on the Inec website for the job.

The next day I decided to go and really get information from the INEC office close to my home concerning the job, they told me that they are not accepting the online Applicants that you have to apply physically at the office for you to have any opportunity of getting the job...

Luckily for me the form was still on so I decided to fill the form. But before I got the form I had to beg and beg, they said form has finished and there was no time to photocopy because they were busy giving out PVC's.. I had to pay 1000 naira before they finally gave me the form to fill.

Then and there I descovered that they are not following the online requirements for application, anyone who hasn't even gotten to secondary school before can apply for a job meant for potential Corpers (Penultimate Students), Corpers and Ex Corpers.


Few weeks after I got a message from INEC asking me to come for 3 days training from Thursday 31st January 2019 to Saturday 2nd February, 2019. 2pm daily at Government College school Ipaja road, Agege.

I was extremely happy afterall efforts have not been wasted. So the Thursday came, I took permission earlier from work. I rushed down to the Government College by 12pm and I saw nobody. The security man told me that there was nothing happening there on that day and so I decided to check their office maybe they changed the location... When I got to their office they said they have Rescheduled the training days to Friday, Saturday and Sunday.... I went home very disappointmented at least they should have concluded plans before choosing date or better still, send us another text for the rescheduled date.


The NEXT day which was Friday I went to the training ground again around 2pm... See crowd just like a BBNaija audition center... Over 5000 people still waiting for the officials to come.
When they came, they started pasting names on the doors of each class room. Everyone started looking for their names... They just scattered names, I was wondering why they didn't input the names alphabetically to make it easier for people to see their names considering the large numbers of trainees and how big the school compound is...
It took me over 2 hours to see my name.


I entered the classroom, hooked up with some guys in the class. We were all waiting for everyone and everywhere to be calm... Around past 6. The SPO(Supervising Presiding Officer) introduced himself to us as our SPO and a Lecturer from Unilag. He started lecturing.
By past 7pm everywhere became dark so he stopped and told us to resume 8am in the class on Saturday.

The classes held from 8am to 7pm on Saturday and Sunday (I had to miss church on Sunday to avoid stories).

NOTE: no form of exam/test was done in my class, we complained to him that other classes was writing exam. He said that exam would not be marked, that it was attendance that mattered most.

After the three days intensive training they said they would get back to us.

Few days after the training one of the guys I met at the training center called me that they have started pasting names of successful trainees at Their office, I told him maybe I wasn't chosen because I didn't see any text... He said nobody got text so I took myself to the INEC office that day... See another set of crowd looking for names...(what would it have cost them to send text to successful trainees, that would have reduced the crowd coming to look for names)
They pasted list on already pasted lists.. they didn't care if people choked their self to death... Come and see people fighting to look at list...(very disorganized)

To cut the long story short...
I saw my name as APO2. On the list some names came out 3,4 and 5 times on different wards and NO APO3 on all the lists.... Out of 60+ people in my class only 3 of us saw our names... Same thing applies to every class... Everyone started asking who are these names on the list.... We descovered that over 80% of names on the list didn't come for training....
I felt very bad for people that didn't see their names... The officials came out to address the people complaining about the list.... They said, they should all go to the RAC center that most names on the list will not come for the job, they would replace them with people available for the job....


On February 15th(Presidential Election Eve) I went to my RAC center at 3pm....(the whole world heard what happened and the conditions they left us in but unfortunately only the Corpers were mentioned in news... Nobody considered or talked about the other ad-hoc staffs)

On February 16th I got a call that they have started paying trainee fees so I rushed down to the INEC office only for me to see that only Corpers were being paid...

This is a shame!!! I feel so disappointed and heart broken. Black man... Oh my God. This administration and party has taken this country many steps backward.

This is true
Nigeria is getting to something else

Come to human right radio Abuja and complain they will follow up and inec will pay you your money and damages.

I did my own training at government college and I can categorically say that all what the op has penned down is absolutely correct. I attended the training for 3 days. I wrote all the tests plus attendance and partook in all the activities. At the end, I couldnt see my name. I had to talk to one of the corpers to allow me follow him to take up any vacant spot at his unit. He was hesitant at first but later agreed. I was assigned the post of APO III as we have a voting point at the unit. At the close of election, we returned to RAC at methodist primary school. The supervisory presiding officer was trying to frustrate me by saying he didn't send me there. After much talk, we wrote a new attendance consisting of 8 ad-hoc staff at our unit. I was told I am not entitled to training fee allowance since my name wasn't in the list. There is so much injustice meted out to us. I hope this thread will encourage others to share their experiences and further expose the fraud that is taking place in Agege Local government INEC office and hopefully we would find succor. Thanks.

Come to human right radio Abuja and complain they will follow up and inec will pay you your money and damages.

If there is such programme here in Lagos, I will gladly accompany the op to give evidence
