1. The National Identification Number. Why did the government spend billions on this project of National Identification Number that can easily be used to verify an individuals identity ANYWHERE at ANYTIME.

Even if you print fake ballot papers, it will be IMPOSSIBLE to fake voters, IF the National Identification Number of voters is required and is verified through an automated counter that cross checks it with a database.
If anyone uses a number twice, it will nullify the vote. So creating a fake ballot paper becomes a waste.

2. Finger print: we all know you must use your finger print to register your vote in every election in Nigeria. So why finger print if it is not security enough? What security is better than finger print that no 2 humans can ever have the same? Is finger print not enough security on ballot paper, why is it that our databases dont work? Cant we just use this to verify the truth about a voter and use it to catch fake ballot papers?

3. All security documents can be forged if you like go and print it in Mars. Even the american Dollar is successfully being counterfeited by North Korea and today North Korea is generating most of it's revenue from faking the american dollar (google it and see if i am lying)

N9 billion naira is chicken change for any political party in Nigeria, they wont even pay up to 1billion to make 100million fake ballot papers that will be exactly like the original that INEC wants to waste money printing.

4. Verification/Accreditation : before any voting, we usuallyy do verification for the voters. This process can be used to easily know how many people are there to vote and their identities. So there is no way of inventing a fake voter and filling up a fake ballot paper when all the people eligible to vote have been accredited

MissTeaseMe:
I wonder too o
So much money just going round into the pockets of individuals. Look at them fighting cos of ballot paper contract.

eunisam: do we need a REVOLUTION?

MissTeaseMe:
That is a tricky question o. A revolution will be easily hijacked by the political-no-do-wells in this country.

eunisam: In other word,Civilian coup d eta will do. CCDE

Ikebossmann: My dear that is nigeria for u. We all know this,that eachtime an election is drawing close,it is a great oppurtunity for pple to smile.
A country which shd be cutting cost to pave way for other developmental activities is bent on utilizing the funds available carelessly.
God wil help us

DRealGeesam:
As in it seems this country is competing for the most wasteful country in the world with the way we just earmark money to recurrent projects, projects that are serving same function with those already on ground. We are just determined to be wasteful!

MissTeaseMe: I am very sure that after reading the topic, you would think this is bullocks, rubbish, silly talk from a demented fellow. Well truth is it is just the truth.

This morning we were greeted with the news of the hilti-skiliti going one at the INEC headquarters over awarding of contracts for the forth coming elections. The contract totals a whooping 9 Billion naira. I maintain that even using plan sheet of paper for the election will work or better still, a sheet of paper that just contains the segments and sections for the voter to fill his details and tick his choice. Some thing as simple as the JAMB answer sheet.
Wont it then be easy to rig elections, create fake ballot papers etc
The answer is NO, here is why

Why we don't need sophisticated. Ballot papers with security features









CONCLUSION: it is the content of a ballot paper that counts and proves that a REAL human voted, not an expensive ballot paper. Let us develop a secured database that will enable verifications of vote and let people vote and wait at their centers for the result. End of story
Not all this schemes of wasting precious money.

Nigeria just likes wasting money. National Identification Number, National Id card, Voters card all on top one person. O ga o and yet no identity security until we spend 9 billion on paper that can be counterfeited.
