First things first if that's you in your profile, you're very pretty.. now let's move on.

Here's how I see it, no one ever looks forward to the date he's going to fail. So he's either trying to move his failure date forward or he's trying as much as he can to right some wrongs. Righting some wrongs which could either be for the benefit of Nigerians or for his own benefit.

If you get a two weeks notice at your job to leave and you know you don't have any other option or other options are not just good enough, you do everything you can, within your power, to make sure that decision is reversed within those two weeks you have.

This is my opinion. Btw, are you in support of the postponement and why? I've answered your question
yes that is me. Thank you.


Well I don't really see how that postponement is supposed to make any difference in the acceptability of any candidate. I'm sure most supporters of either parties already have their mind set on who they want. A few new jobs done now will not win anybody over to any side least likely the opposition who sees everything new as propaganda. That can't be his reason (if any) for wanting the election postponed.

If the allegations are true that some regions are being sidelined in the distribution of PVCs,then it makes sense for them to agitate for postponement. I would too if I live in a region where I've tried unsuccessfully to get my VC and can't . Who wants to be taken for a ride ?


Personally I'm indifferent to the issue of postponement or carrying on as scheduled.

I'm just confused as to why the opposition keeps saying it is a tactic by the ruling party to manipulate the elections when they can't even give a meaningful explanation of how that is 'supposed' to work in favor of the ruling party except of course somewhere deep down they(APC) believe truly that the regions supporting GEJ are being disenfranchised hence their call for the fast forward while the odd are still in their favor.

So Jonathan isn't clueless after all. His ability to wield the Army shows he's in control, he's in charge.

What has being cluesless got to do with being in charge?

Kim Jong Un is in control but as clueless as they come.

That dunce, in his cluelessness and desperation, is about to start a civil war, and you think that's something to rejoice over?

INEC announced the time table of dis years pool as far back as 8 or 9 month. Election was shifted from April to feb.. apc kicked against it but pdp was in support. Why is it now dey feel d election should b postponed. If der r no hidden plans d election must hold.m we are ready.. INEC is ready..so why postpone election
Ekiti, Osun and Anambra election were never postponed from d fixed date given by INEC. Why postpone the General election. We are ready.


Why couldn't Jega produced and distribute all PVCs according to his timeline

Why are PVCs more in some states than others



Tell Jega to produced and distribute all PVCs through a decentralized system. cool


Next time keep to your timetable with all necessary materials cool

You are not making sense at all.

APC wants to seize power at all cost irrespective of the safety Nigerians.

You guys conduct yourselves as if you are above the laws of the land.

No matter what the opposition and their sympathizers say or feel, JONATHAN is the president and C-I-C of the Nigerian Armed Forces for now and has the authority to direct the affairs of the country as he deems fit. That is, until he is voted out.
HE IS STILL INCHARGE and his humility should not be taken for weakness. INEC, listen to Mr President .

Is it not an anomaly that the military are providing security for elections. Their constitutional duty is to maintain the territorial integrity of Nigeria which they are trying to do now (we appreciate it) and not to provide security for elections. This is a clear sign that the military are beginning to overstep their boundaries.
Security for elections is the work of NSCDC and NPF.
Bro would you go to vote in borno state if nscdc & npf where the only agencies on guard?
The military is mandated by constitution to give aid when it is needed.only in Germany(that's if it hasn't been changed)en few other countries er the military banned from internal intervention.
Don't know about u but I think boko haram constitutes a good enuf threat to Nigeria's "territorial integrity"as u put it.

The army has been dragged into politics. This is the height of insensitivity from the government. How many combatants are there in the army? That they can't assemble soldiers from the barracks to provide security. With all of these politicking happening, GEJ will end up losing more loyalist because this is classical example of tyranny. INEC cannot draw you out of your homr to come and collect PVC. They are just playing delay tactics so Jega's tenure will elapse, and then GEJ will appoint a puppet to conduct an election that may favour him. The economy has been on stand still since January, the president is unfazed with likelihood of civil unrest from his foolish politicking strategy. He had 5 years+ to be called the best democratic president, but he blew it up by allowing high level corruption in his government. I will never vote for him, wether elections get postponed till nextyear. Everybody I have met on the streets wants the election to hold, so what is their excuse?

If Gej postpones these election then he's one bad Nigga ... Even tho

Change is imminent so where ever you are stand up and tell your neighbour

"Neighbour we need CHANGES" !!!!!
Good talk, but the real reasons for election postponement is to end insurgency and to buy time for court to finish the case of disqualification against Buhari. More importantly, to allow the change movement to cool down and people have time to think with brain rather than emotions.

What I don't understand is the noise people are making about this postponement. They aren't thinking of postponing indefintely,or canceling it;it's being done for security purpose. Moreover,over 20 million Nigerians haven't gotten their PVC;that alone can render the election useless. Yes,not everybody with PVC would vote but let people collect their cards. Elections can still be held in April so I see no reason why we should be in a rush to go to the polls,despite all the lapses that abound. If INEC were serious,they would have sorted this thing out long time ago. It's been 4 yrs since they registered voters;how come it took them this long to produce the PVCs?

What is surprising me is how desperate GEJ is to hold on to power at the risk of the a civil unrest or civil war for that matter.

He doesn't care how many people he drags down in as much as he remains in power.

The same military that he has politicized and can't fight our battle but have to play second fiddle to chadians are now going the agents to wreck havoc on Nigerians and force an Election postponement on us.

The end od dictators and power mongers is usually disastrous.
since when did going for a second term become "a desperate bid to hold unto power"?...looks to me like he has refused to be intimidated by APC and their bokoharam dogs...

Jega and APC are jokers.

How does Jega explain over 80% PVC collection in North East ravaged by insurgency while most of the southern states are still grappling with less than 50% collection?

The last time I checked this mooted postponement falls within the provision of the Electoral Act.

What is Jega and APC getting at?
