Is it just me or do the sophisticated DDC machines that have caused soo much election furore are really just rented laptops and two match boxes? I cannot believe anyone will actually steal them.

@semid. Am a corp member participating in d exercise, d scanners are frustrating couple with d fact that am in a village in gombe state, where they are mostly farmers, capturing d already distorted finger prints becomes an uphill task. As for being paid 100k in 2007, we are hearind that we will b paid 30k for the exercise this time.

Eeyah, I understand exactly what you're going thru'. . .funnily enough I didn't experience much of that problem. Major problem I experienced then was power (cos the laptops couldn't go more than 3hrs) and the printer ink. Hope you guys were provided with generator and fuel this time sha?

It was 1k/day (heard it was more in some other states) then so how much a corper got at the end of the exercise depended on how many days he worked for. I was conscripted into the exercise in late October 2006 (thanks to my closeness to the CLO) and I worked through November to January. I actually worked for 91 days but INEC didn't keep records and when I was asked how many days I worked for, I just said 100 lol

Is there a way nigerians abroad can also register and vote? i was once told there is but i dont have any information?

A Federal High Court in Abuja on  Jan. 27  ordered INEC to put in place relevant machinery to assist Nigerians to register and vote from abroad in any election without having to travel home for that purpose.

Delivering judgment in the suit filed by Nigerians living abroad, led by Prof. Bolaji Aluko, Hon. Hakeem Bello, and Mr Uzoma Onyemaechi, presiding Justice Adamu Bello directed INEC to approach the National Assembly by sponsoring a bill for the sake of Nigerians in diaspora.

In doing so, he said INEC could borrow a leaf from countries that had already adopted the external voting system.

The plaintiffs had dragged INEC and the Attorney General of Federation and Minister of Justice to court to give them equal rights of voting in countries where they reside.

They buttressed their argument with Article 13 (1) of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (Ratification and Enforcement Act) (cap 10) laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990.

The plaintiff also averred that they are qualified for registration as voters by virtue of section 13 (1) (c) of the Electoral Act 2006 and sections 77(2), 117 (2), 132(5) and 178 (5) of 1999 constitution.
