It is high time we begin to embrace project management. The Voters registration cum DDC machine wasn't properly "projectized", No proper scooping and planning. Dont be surprised if he requested for additional 1Ob |

WHY DONT WE ALL BE POSITIVE FOR ONCE!!! MUST NIGERIANS ALWAYS CRITICIZE AND LOOK AT THINGS NEGATIVELY ALL THE TIME HABA! This is a very very large nation with known issues and complications, we mustnt alwys run people down. if we do not support people like JEGA he will definitely fail. HE IS NOT GOD. |

I can almost guarantee you guys we will be spending that sort of money come 2015. Jega must resign now. Nigerians must learn how to make thier leaders accountable. I am sick and tired of our Money being wasted this way. I have nothing against the Prof, but I think this is way beyond him. I am confident there are seasoned Nigerians out there that can do a steller job. Uncle Jega should go and rest. |

Ma_J_Blige: Scenario . . . You hire a consultant to carry out an assignment. You present him with his ToR which contains his exact job descriptions and expectations. Based on that, he draws up a proposal covering the total cost. This proposal is approved by you and the funds subsequently released. Halfway through the project, he realized he won't be able to meet the deadline as a result of bad planning and shoddy implementation of the activities. The information you received from the field was that he employed inexperienced and inadequate workers, procured sub-standard materials, and generally messed up the whole process. The only alternative to ensure the activity is effectively implemented will be an extension of the time line. However, your consultant is insisting that the assignment must be concluded at this point because an extension would incur additional costs on his side. Question: What will be your reaction? Options a) Grant him the time extension he requested for at no additional cost because the extra costs is as a result of his own failure. b) Grant him the time extension he requested for and provide the extra costs he's demanding because he's threatening to resign. c) Object to the time extension because of the extra cost at the risk of not achieving your own objectives as a result of his failure to implement as planned and as budgeted. d) Object to the requests for time extension additional cost, fire him and sue his highly unprofessional a$$! I'd go for option d . . . . How about you |

The man has come again. We all know where this whole exercise will lead us to, the voters card is worthless just like the past ones that never really dictate the wish of the electorate. Democracy in Nigeria is a sham, FGN and SG should stop embarrassing the general public to go n register and that whoever fail he/she will be denied access to govt social programmes. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by violent(m): 4:11pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Ujujoan: Nice one, I'd go for option D as well! |

All you retard posters should shut your smelly mouth before I lose my cool, You are not expected to say something inteligent and if you got something important to say walk straight to aso rock and lay your comment and opinion down I bet you won't left breaten, before you type any s**t ask yourself this question will my comment and opinion be read by the government or any of their official? You are just wasting your time talking so loud like you own the world this thread soon die and another thread will be brought in that's how it goes on and on and you are yet to find something important to do with your time? How long will you continue to talk so loud infront of people who know nothing about your existence and comment, )I aint even gon act on that cuz we bringing troops in soon to f**k all those ugly old pig off and we can aswell born your cities but don't be Offended is for nigerian people sake. Holla at me you coward generations sit and watch them looting your life and killing your mama and papa with poverty and hardship all in the name of the stupid government strategy which has add no good to the nigerian economic. F**k u all. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by monkeyleg: 4:14pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Ujujoan:Option E: Demote him, get an experienced hand to run things and show him how things are done |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Kobojunkie: 4:14pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
violent: In this case, the only thing that we can do is fire him. We cannot sue him since the president KNEW FULL WELL that this man did not have the right management credentials for the job before appointing him to it. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 4:14pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
T.Moni: Do you not know what the problem is with the registration It's not exactly the population, it's the bad machinery. An exercise that would ordinarily last for 5 minutes now takes up at least 30 because their tools are substandard. This has clearly slowed down the process. And as a matter of fact, I was thinking he would have taken the population into consideration before starting the assignment. Does that mean he spent all these months on 'planning' doing absolutely nothing |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 4:17pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: Well he should have rejected the assignment knowing fully well that he was incable! |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by monkeyleg: 4:20pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Ujujoan: In Nigeria, people dont accept their inability to do things, they will accept positions knowing fully well what the outcome is likely to be. After all if he fails, no one can do anything to him. That's how it works in Bongo |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Kobojunkie: 4:21pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Ujujoan:Oh, please~~ Like that will ever happen in Nigeria . . . lol Even after this, I bet you this man will remain a hero to many out there. It is weird how it works but that is what I have come to learn of how things work in Nigeria. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 4:23pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
monkeyleg: Word! It's actually very embarrassing . . Kobojunkie: I know . . .but that makes him liable in the court of law. Grounds to sue him if you ask me . . . . |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Kobojunkie: 4:25pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
^^^ You can't sue him because the president was well aware of the man's record before choosing to appoint him. If anything, the only person you could sue would be the president but the way things are going, I don't think much dust is going to be raised on this. I suspect that this voter's registration is probably going to be considered a success and used for years to come. I mean it is sad but that is the way it works, and probably will. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by foreman: 4:26pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
kinharold: well, 70million in two weeks is not bad. To make 70million in two weeks, he needs to register 70/14 = 5million in a day. Considering that we have 120,000 centers, he needs to register 5000000/120000 =42 people per center per day |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by violent(m): 4:28pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
He can't be sued cos he's a representative of INEC, and the responsibilities of his decisions are borne by INEC, it wouldn't make sense for the federal government to sue INEC |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by foreman: 4:28pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
BTW, even if you plan for 10 weeks in Nigeria, people will still ask for extension |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 4:34pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: You can't say we can't sue him! This is not about who appointed him, this is about him breaching a contract. If the President believed in him and offered him an appointment to implement an activity of this magnitude, he reserves the right to reject it if he felt he won't be capable to achieve the objectives. His acceptance makes him liable for anything that goes wrong, and not the person who offered him the appointment. As far as the president didn't hold a gun to his head to accept the offer of, I don't think the president can be held responsible at all! |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by calyx: 4:36pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
foreman: and 42 people per center in 8 hrs (8am to 4pm) is approximately 11 mins/person. An AMPLE time for common registration if you ask me. The MTN/ZAIN guys that registered my sim card didnt take more than 40 secs each. The sim registration was even a little more tasking when zain was asking for all manner of things. I think Jega has failed woefully |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 4:39pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
violent: You sue him personally, and then sure INEC! |

Well this is what you get when you do things in a hurry. Voters registration should take a year in my opinion so every one can register. Not necessarily the way it is set up but people can go to their local govt offices or inec local offices to register. This way cost is minimal but it is spread over a longer period of time. Only in Nigeria do we impose such voters registration on people and we expect excellent results, its just not possible. if we did this since last year we would have been done by now, instead we spent all our time looking for a dead president. No one rememberd that an election was in a years time. JEga is not the problem, the system is. He wants more money, so give it to him; its expected in such a system of hurried voters registration. We must think of the future and clear this mess; however i'm of the opinion that the govt love it this way. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Kobojunkie: 4:56pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Ujujoan: I don't think we can say he breached the contract though. I mean he did conduct the registration, only that it does not seem to be going as well as some of us envisioned. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by asscend: 5:04pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
you right sis. |

Hoodrat: Easy oh! You make some good points however tone your wordings down please. Remember violence begats violence, |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 5:20pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: He's breaching the contract if he's asking for extra funds! |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 5:25pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Very funny, but extremely worrying. @ Monkeyleg You are completely correct, he who fails to plan plans to fail . . . However, awarding the contract to an external organization is like contracting an organization to print the national currency. Some things, for security reasons, have to be handled 'in-house' and voter's registration is one of them! What I don't understand is why INEC didn't hire professionals to work for them . . |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Rastamann: 5:27pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Jega is a rogue and a thief! What did he do with the funds that was given to him -buy useless equipment and open registration centers in the evil forest? After chopping ASUU money as president and ABU money as VC, he now wan chop INEC money. Ole ni e! |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Kobojunkie: 5:28pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Ujujoan: BULL!!!! How many more times do we have to take this sort of hits to realize that it is probably in our best interest to have externals, where we can, handle these things for us. If an outside PROVEN group had been called in for this, we would be here singing a different song, if you asked me. For half the price, INEC could have probably gotten a professional team somewhere to FLY in and get this job done effectively for us. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by violent(m): 5:35pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
I believe the process would have been smoother if handled by telecommunication providers. It's as easy as the government appointing two providers. . e.g MTN and glo. Voters are instructed to go into any of their nearby offices to make registration, all details are the collected ad filed into a single national database. That would have prevented the brouhaha of missing DDC machines and untrained personnels. |
Re: Voter Registration. . . Jega Asks For Another N6.6bn by Nobody: 5:39pm On Jan 27, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: Maybe, maybe not! We all know that the contract would have eventually been awarded to the group with the highest IM (who you know)! However, the same objective would have been achieved if INEC planned well and hired professionals to do the job. I bet Jega has his relatives and friends as INEC coordinators all over the country. Thw whole thing was doomed from the beginning. Take this exercise for example, the obvious criteria for selecting the workers should have been, at least, a basic knowledge of computer. But when you go there, you see people who maybe have never booted a system in their lives. You see them picking the letters off their keyboards and fidgeting with the mouse. This obviously creates a delay of it's own! I even had to babysit for one of the workers yesterday, just so she can leave the crying baby and attend to the long queue of people waiting to be registered . . . and yet, I didn't register myself! |
