If somebody says you are stupid, you will say they have insulted.

Do you think at all?

The guy has proven himself to be worst than a fool. If only those who support and cause these kind of confusion are used in experimenting post election violence, it won't be painfull at all.

Hahahahaha!

This was the exact thing I told the INEC official training us. Its quite funny that its revealing itself now. These card readers can fuel violence more than the normal ones we're using.

How can you explain to a man that registered in a polling unit that his thumb print cannot be identified or he's not supposed be in a polling unit? And you say the verification process will only span for 4hours. Some of these voters are touts and have low tolerance level.

I told him, if any tout just carry kitchen knife not to talk of gun, I go give am everything to thumb print on. I go even call am winner.

Better correct this mistake now before the D-day.

My brother, were you not told during the training that instances like this would arise? How do you expect a card reader to read the thumb print of a farmer whose thumb print is not even there again. If indeed you were in the training as you claimed, you ll know the function of APO2. In this instance, the APO2 will check from the register with him to confirm again if the man really registered in the PU. You don't expect 100% success rate. Do you?

you are even a recruited staff and you have started speaking ill of the body that recruited you.The test/mock election was to give inec the idea of the efficacy and ability of the card reader and you as a adhoc staff is already saying rubbish about inec.. You really need to be fired.
The exercise that inec did yesterday was just a test so as flaws and irregularities can be identified and corrected before the D-Day

A staff speaks what you don't want to hear and you call it rubbish?

So now that there are flaws, what can INEC do between now and 28th?

All these people shouting mock!mock election.was there any mock election before the initial Feb.14 date?....these card reader failures goes further to show that inec were never ready for the election.Even now they are still not ready only just beginning to train their adhoc staff.Jega is a mega failure. He had 4 yrs to prepare for this election and was adequately funded.

LordMecuzy:


Broda you even tried responding to that fellow.. No INEC adhoc staff would respond that way...

Exactly my point. I doubt even if he was in the training. All these issues were made mentioned during the training and as such I don't expect him to be spitting that rubbish he just spew up there.
Re: INEC CARD READER: See What Nigerians Are Saying About Their Experience by callmenow: 12:55pm On Mar 08, 2015
Why did Jega claim that they are ready? I just stumbled on a printing outfit in Surrey, UK that is dispatching presidential material on Monday, 9th March to Nigeria. Why is the fate of Nigeria in the hands of this incompetent man? JONATHAN and his advisers should have noticed that this man was no longer fit for the job. I blame JONATHAN more for allowing this useless man to manage INEC. I have seriously lost confidence in this Jega. He is managing his own party for financial gain.

And what if this election held 3 weeks ago?
Were people not threatening fire & brimstone over the postponement here last time?

He was one of those threatening the whole nation three weeks ago now he has diverted into other kinds of political cover up for Inec. Very shameful. Smh.
Re: INEC CARD READER: See What Nigerians Are Saying About Their Experience by bid4rich(m): 1:00pm On Mar 08, 2015
And INEC was saying then that they are fully ready for the election that time abi?

Its now clear that INEC has been bought-over my some political animal that want power by all means. I'm not surprised that want change. Meanwhile, can you define CHANGE without TRANSFORMATION? Thief-people

Please don't make me laugh brother.

I even got 10/10 in the test so what you're saying doesn't follow.
I am not saying the card reader thing is bad but there are somethings missing in the process. This is a process you're giving technology 100percent trust.
Bross, give audience only to those who deserve it. It will save you a lot of time wasting. Trust me.

Sound and Fury

“A Tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” These immortal words of Shakespeare, where he described life as a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. He probably meant that all our lives struggles were nothing in the final analysis of things. As some of us might have experienced firsthand, tales told by idiots are mere sound and fury, they have neither head nor tail; theme nor direction. This was the position of Williams Shakespeare on life.
Shakespeare may not be alive today but his words seem to be evidenced in the current political trends in Nigeria. The All Progressives Congress on the 6th March 2015 organized a fundraising dinner for the Senatorial Aspirant for Benue south senatorial district Comrade Daniel Onjeh at the Sheraton Hotel And Suites Abuja. In the invitation sent out, The ceremony was billed to be attended by the high and mighty of the party, and below were some of the dignitaries slated to attend-
1.) Dr. John Oyegun (APC national chairman) as the chairman of he fund raising event.
2.) General Muhammadu Buhari, as the special guest of honour
3.) Bola tinubu (national leader of the Apc)
4.) Prof. Yemi osibanjo
5.) Rotimi Amaechi
6.) Comr.Adams Oshiomole
7.) Atiku Abubakar
8.) Sam Nda Isaiah
9.) Chief Audu Ogbe
Not only did the above listed not attend the said event; they did not even have even the courtesy of sending any representatives to stand in for them at the event. The turnout at the end of the day was merely 30-40 person(including photographers and waiters). One begins to wonder why such act of impunity by the so called party of progressives who have in recent time, thrown caution and courtesy to the wind as well as breached all the political rules of engagement in the forthcoming polls slated to hold on the 28th of March
We should not forget that there has been so much hype in the media about the seeming ‘wide’ support enjoyed by the APC as against the PDP in the forthcoming elections. The media has created the insinuations that the party works as team, but what was witnessed during this event was far from the utopian creation of internal unity of the party propagated by media. It was disheartening and within the safe waters of Shakespeare’s above quote, to note that the fundraiser was attended by only members of the comrade’s campaign trail, and about fifteen other people including waiters and photographers thus summing up the event to have been merely “full of sound and fury signifying nothing”.
The only thing that was realized at the fundraiser was the fact that the organizers had wasted money in search of money they did not get. It is more laughable when we consider that the Comrade is running against the incumbent Senate President, Sen. David Mark. Could it be that the APC party has bitten more than it can chew? It is often said that discretion is the better part of valor and as Chinua Achebe righty said in his work, Things Fall Apart, “at times we stand at the houses of cowards, to point at the graves of brave men”. We only live in hope that Comrade Daniel Onjeh has learnt from this failed fundraiser that APC not only has a faux popularity but more sinister is that the party has no internal framework of courtesy. On a lighter note, at least the waiters, photographers and some few persons were adequately fed enough to last them a life time due to the poor macabre attendance at the said fundraising dinner.

Fresh party with old thieves just like new wine in old skin. What eventually happens, the skin breaks.
Fresh party that is ready to be smuggled into power. Nonsence.

You are indeed very wise. Sad to say it is wise men like you that are going to oversee the election process in some polling booths...

Just fvcking shut up. scums like you irritate me, making excuses for failures. Your Jega is a massive failure and you all were there blaming GEJ for shifting an election for which you you guys were never and may never be ready because it has become obvious that you do not even know what you should be ready for.

And the cheek of that fwool claiming that he was ready to roll. You guys wanna give your opposition reason to contest any results and then there will be mass protests and you will blame GEJ again. Can't you guys fvcking get it right or just shut up.

Plus, we are within our rights to self-critic the federal agency we work for and are protected by the constitution.

seriously in recent time I find it uninteresting nd uninspiring the speeches of our politicians, whenever they open their mouth they speak propaganda, name calling, in short they speak rubbish undecided
it really showed they have nothing upstairs ,no life changing or revolutionary manifestos, their campaigns are not issue based...
They talk of bridges, roads, rails, ... as if they did all with their forefathers or their money, whereas more important sectors like power nd oil secto (refineries) are being neglected ....
Instead of telling us how they plan to change all these, they are busy dancing, jumping and speaking rubbish at campaign grounds.
Nonsense, senseless and self-centered people undecided ALL OF THEM ARE THE SAME..

is a mock election for Pete Sake so 100% success shouldn't be expected. The test was successful here in lagos but failed in kano, inec will now have to work their _asses out to identify the cause of the card reader failure in Kano so that necessary corrections can be implemented.
There shouldn't be any cause for alarm because inec still have about 20 days to make their necessary corrections
Anything below 100% success on election day means disenfrenchising probably millions and is not acceptable!
and from the look of things, 100% success wouldn't b possible so d card reader use necessarily should be reconsidered.

I just spoke with an American scientist friend of mine who is also a medical Doctor. He says that it will be difficult for the card reader to the finger prints of people who eat kolanut a lot. Again the card reader is also allergic to people with so much carbonhydrate in their system.This is frigthening indeed.
