commendable i guess

Nigeria was politically restructured with 20 states proliferated in the once one northern region, but only 17 states in the once two southern regions, with result that even a goat from the north of Nigeria can win a most-qualified presidential candidate from the south of Nigeria.

So voting system changes little. A presidential candidate needs 25% of votes in 24 states to win.

Even a goat from the north can win 25% votes from the 19 states littered every corner of the north.

There should have been more states in the south than in the north

Land mass is never used as yard stick to derive new federal units from the existing federal units in a federal country.

Good one! Budget next!!

JUST WITNESSED E-MARRIAGE.

Weldone boys

E-voting what about hacking? It will even be easier to manipulate the result in the 'High Neck' office after final collection or even before the voting begins.

Time to enroll in a hacking school in South Korea. I must hammer by force in 2019

I see a repeat of Russia American deal hare in Nigeria

This is a welcome development.

DONSMITH123:


i tell you. this is good for democracy

How does e-voting work?

I see this as a desperate move by the senate to impress the people but then can I really say they have shot themselves in the leg? They may be many things, certainly they are not dullards.#hotnaijablood #naijaparole

With this new development, half of them will not come back to the house come 2019. Mark my words.

Time to make friend with Mr Putin. So that he can order his hackers to make me the next President. I know what to offer him

It seems like this sleeping senators has woken up frm their slumber

Executhiefs and legislooters fight will in long run favor Nigerians. They will always do things that will reduce the power of executhiefs

Mean while, the RIGGERS association are equally amending and developing new rigging strategies! I believe my Naija bruvs die!

If i can vote with my phone as easily as i do on Twitter...

Thats the only way i can ever vote. Imagine how painful it would have been if I queued to vote Buhari....

Good!

At lest they Kept a leeway/escape route for themselves in case rigging becomes a necessity.

Major highlights of the new bill include provision for the use of electronic voting by INEC during future elections, use of Card Reader and also gives INEC power to modify the voting process if there is a challenge.

This is a good one and should be commended.

My sweet Jesus are we ready....? Very good but are we ready?

The era of multiple voting by an individual will be checkmate,also Nigerians in diaspora can vote(that if its been included in the amendment).
but I think it will reduce the herculean task of counting ballots after an election where mistakes (errors) do occur also rigging will be minimize if all things are been equal but don't trust politician kos they will find another way to beat this encryption.

The alleged case of Russia manipulating the last presidential elections in the USA is still fresh in our minds.. but nevertheless its a good step for the coming 2019 elections.

God is just allowing them to set de rope upon which they will later be hanged

Zita55:
;no. this is the beginning of progress and achieve a true transparent electoral process. All that needs to be done is link it to bvn/national security number (in time) and it will greatly negate manipulation. see what bvn has done for money laundering. a positive step



I hope so ooo, but surely, they will still bring another strategy that will favour ,the mumus

n

Nice move

The moment they knew they're shooting themselves on the leg,but there is no way to wriggle out,a welcome idea,that eliminates many bad vices.

welcome development

finally... rigging will be reduced by this.

Am traveling to Russia asap to meet my new hackers..lol I must make this money

Why not wail that the Senate is useless, ineffective, out of line, should be scrapped blah blah

From the beginning, the Senate and House of Reps has been on the lookout for the common man, in spite of the padding, stealing etc.

Reducing electricity tariffs, canceling unnecessary custom duties, now e-voting

I'm hard pressed to find one executive policy that's relieved Nigerians

The death of a candidate before the declaration of results by INEC shouldn't necessarily lead to a 3-week suspension of the election.
Instead, the running-mate of the deceased candidate should be deemed as the party's new candidate by INEC. Then, the affected political party would be mandated to name a new running-mate.

blackaxe78:



Rigging will be minimized.

Minimise Weti??

This doesn't require weapons, all that's needed is brain and some money for the guys with the brain.
