But in this case you involve your wife in the decision making, she will be happy to do it because you both discuss and agreed to it, the person visiting never had any decision to make except when you ask for his choice of what to eat. Thanks to the owner of the comment I am quoting below, it is the answer you need.

We have it in this story that the man came early and probably not in a hurry to go. The question is, isnt my wife going to prepare breakfast that morning. If we had a visitor after breakfast, then he will have our left over. I trust my wife to take that decision even if he asks for something else.

The problem in the story is that the man continue to show up frequently. On this, if i have the food stuff and if we habe not had breakfast yet, that request may just modify the breakfast plan. The fact that he is frequently is immaterial. The only thing is whether what is necessary or the timing is right.

No one can come to my house after dinner to ask my wife to prepare a special soup. I trust all my friends to not cross that line. No one can come to my house after rice and stew lunch and ask my wife to prepare vegetable stew and rice for him, it won't work.

Coming to my house unannounced at 7am, we must be very good friends. No person who has never been to my house will show up unannounced. It is the one who is frequent that can do that and it is the closeness that will warrant him shape his own breakfast in my house.

I more surprised than you are at the bolded I never knew they have added friends to family too

Sometimes i do wonder how did Nigeria get to this point but now I know.

Remind me not to put you among my friends when we cross paths. Cause when i call someone a friend, a friend who actually visits my house, then he is like family the give him such regards. Infact, some of my friends are better than most of my relatives and can die for me.

Those are the friends i roll with and once i have cause not to trust you, you are outta my life.

Funny enough, every single job i have done, every single contract i executed, every major money i made in my entire life was through friends. No relatives ever made successful effort to put food on my table except my parents. Even my parents know my friends and encourage me to keep good friends. One has no choice with regards to relatives but one has all the control on the type of friends you keep.

I had a friend of a friend who tried to come close to me, i refused even after he gave my sister a federal civil service job. I knew i will never get to trust him. I warned my friend and this friend had his 1st EFCC problem dealing with that guy. Infact my friend was left high and dry with EFCC on his trail.

I dont joke with those who have trusted me and I trust them as friends and as family.

Omudia11:
@ the bolded, you are the most stupid person in all of nairaland history. Such level of stupidity should come with a badge so sane people can avoid you like the plague that you are.

Oboy see vex!

Do i have anything to say to you? No I don't!

Saffi:
Why are you asking your brothers wife to cook for you if she’s not offering it to you first? Can she come to you and ask you for money whenever she likes? You people really don’t understand courtesy when going to other people’s houses or just in general. There’s nothing wrong with your brothers wife preparing food for you, but don’t be asking her to prepare food most times you go there, especially if she’s not offering it to you first. She might not say anything out loud, but deep down she doesn’t like it. Respect yourself please. If you want a personal chef go and get married.

I dont have a brother so i may not know how it feels to have one.

However, i have a sister who tell me the food she has or offer what she can prepare when i announce my visit. If hungry, i call and ask her what i would love to eat.

Why is food a big deal?

PS i am married!

Trust me, the shame is on me if i cant entertain visitors well with common food and drinks. To transfer shame to my wife, i will take my friend to a restaurant.

Thank God i married a wife who will not hesitate to cook good food for my visiting friends. My children are happy to have them around and ask me often about them. My friends are family, my brothers wife is my wife in our culture (without the bedroom part). If he dies, she and her children are my responsibility.

piroux:
I hope you aren't allergic to pepper?

Honestly though, that isn't how respect works. A lot of us need to go back home and learn courtesy. Your brother's wife is not your wife and even your wife has limits she can endure. I think men believe all married women just love being in the kitchen. They don't. It's not bad to visit someone with alternatives or say "Please, don't bother, I won't stay long" Read the expressions of your host, know when you graduate from friend to nuisance.
Haven't you had friends who helped you in the past but have graduated to big babies? I do. You might be able to bear with them, don't expect others to.
And please, there's nothing honourable about cooking. For some people, it's just work, not fun.

You caused me to ask for the redefinition of RESPECT

1.a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
2.due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others.

I reiterate that asking something of you directly is showing respect to you.

To show you lack of respect is to ask your husband like in this case to command you to make breakfast for me.

Before i ask you for anything, i must have had the feeling that you are capable of fullfiling my wishes. I must have admired that ability in you and that you possess such quality. What again is respect?

With regards to the bolded, let me give a personal story. I had a friend who was a neighbor back when we were teenagers. He always comes to our house and often times he is quite precise as i was about to eat dinner. He never refuses the offer to eat. I grew angry at his attitude and would hide my portion of the food before he reaches the door. Infact, my sisters would alert me knowing i needed the info to hide my food.

Now, the problem was not sharing my food. I was happy to share with him but i had a fixed portion. It means i will not get satisfied of the food and may need to find something else to eat. On the other hand, i never eat at his house cause their food is wack. I know for a fact that he never says no to our food because he also finds his own home's food wack.

Even if he shows up and denies me of satisfaction, he does so with respect for the taste and quality of food in my house.

Did i ever, treat him like they dont have food in their house, no? In fact i will lose his respect if he ever finds out i felt that way about sharing my food with him.

Let me bore you more, i have a very good University roommate that i sever all ties with partly for a loaf of bread and series of inhumane attitude with regards to food and money. All my food stuff and groceries were accessible to him, the problem is when i have, i am careless. He on the other hand never brings or buys provisions or food stuff. Leaving cash in the bank. When we are through with all i have, we are no longer friends. He eats at the cafeteria and change friends. We both were totally broke one time, his brother was sent from home. He brought cash for him a big loaf of bread and Blueband magerine. I was hungry and weak. They bought themselves soft drink, ate the bread and magerine. I sat there and there was no offer. We shared the same locker, so after they went out, i proceeded to have a bite of the bread. Lo and behold, my friend locked the bread and magerine inside his traveling bag! Fast forward days later, over half of the bread got spoilt right in his bag, he had to shamefully discard it. I almost shed tears but that was the end of the road. Till today, he has asked me several times how he has offended me but i refused to talk cause they were tiny hurtful experiences about food or money.

My mum used to say, food is an unprocessed shit, never be stingy with it.

If a woman is tired and cannot cook, the husband understands when she says so, who is the visitor that will say she must cook?

Besides, someone is in my home 7am, which wife will say she is tired at 7am? Besides, its not that the story said she is tired of cooking.

nextstep:
Maybe you ask nicely, but the vast majority of inlaws demand and command. The only people I can allow to ask like that are my parents, and even then they know how to ask because they know I can vex. Everybody else, brother, sister, uncle, cousin, aunties (I especially have to be patient with my aunties because na dem raise me, but still)... you better realize that my wife is not your waitress and tread carefully in my house.

The word ask has been lost in translation.

As a friend or a brother, there is no way i will go to a house that is not mine to say give me food, give me cloths, give me money and still make it sound like a command. It is not a command no matter how i say it. It is a request.

No matter how the request sounds, it will never be a command. And a request needs an answer whether Yes or no. As far as i have the right to say yes or no, its a request.

For me, i ask my wife to treat my friends like her friends, if she treats them like my friends there will be problems.

A friend shows up in my house, says to wifey, my friend am hungry and feel like eating so so or so, am sure if it were her personal friend. She would jump to the request. Why not my friends even if he is over reaching.

She treats my friends badly i treat hers badly. Lets all stay friendless. Besides i will go out and hang out. Is it not better we all be friends and stop bickering over food.

When my friends come to my house and tells wifey do and bring 5k, thats a serious problem.

There are no boundaries to cross if no boundaries are set. The boundaries i have in my home are simple and have not been set a d have not been broken.

No going to my bedroom, kitchen or children bedroom. How easy is that. When you create more say dont command my wife, a simple request could sound like command if she doesnt like the request, it is set up for major fireworks.

Saffi:
I’m just shocked that 80 people liked this comment. 80 single frustrated bitter men. Once you get married Oga, the mother of your children/ your wife becomes your no1 priority. Sorry to break it down to you, but you can’t allow your friends to cross the boundaries in regards to your wife. That’s the true strength of a man, oponu.

Am sure you are not married.

Have you heard of the word "influence" before. A wife can be at home and have a husband's friend with so much influence over her husband but the friend and wife have never met. That is men for you.

Just because you are the wife, mother of the children and feel like the mans entire priority or atleast the no 1 priority is you but are not. You are painting a black and white picture but life is colourful and in 4D.

You are putting yourself up for disappointment. A man knows his priority, do not tell him to choose you as his priority. Priorities change and should be dynamic.

If i ask you as a wife, what is your no 1 priority. Will you say the kids (wrong), the hubby (wrong), house keeping (wrong), work (wrong). What exactly, is your priority? The entire responsibility you have as a wife is the priority. Than mans priority is not his wife, it is his entire responsibility to his family.

A family includes friends and relatives. When friends and relatives are happy with you, your husband is happy with you for making him proud. When you poison his friends, trust me, it will come around when your husband realizes he is being fenced off. When you have problems at home, you may need those friends to bail you out.

Lastly, when you want to compare yourself to his friends in terms of priority, you have brought yourself at the same level with them competing for attention. When you know and claim that you are the priority, you have conquered your insecurities and no one will wrestle you for that secure position hold.

Pavore9:
Lives depend on their friend?

Even if you your elder brother is the one helping you, will you feel comfortable with him instructing your wife? As people achieve milestones in their lives, adjustments has to set in. If as a bachelor you were used to going to your mom's place to go eat during the weekend, once you get married that will no longer be your schedule and your wife should be held responsible of "cutting you off" .

I come to my brothers house and ask his wife can you prepare this or that for my breakfast. How does that become a command, its a question. Can you prepare?

Even if i say i want this or that, i have to end it with a question can you do it?

The can simply say no and i walk out.

For someone to come to your house and ask for food whether prepared or not means he is asking not commanding.

What if the man asks the husband who in turns commands the wife, i think the visitor showed respect by asking directly and the woman should have happily done it.

Anyone i open my mouth and ask for favour should know i respect him. She was respected but she replied with disrespect.

OCEANMORGAN:
You are not marrying your wife to become a slave. If your friend is visiting you by 12AM, then you should be ready to cook for him or he cook for himself. A woman will do a lot of house chores during the day time and still use her resting time to do other shït?? You married a woman not a machine, even machines breakdown.

Probably you aint married.

If i tell my wife that a certain friend is coming, she goes to the market and cooks the best she can.

She must serve food in the best china available in the house. That's how to treat guest.

Infact, i want them to come tomorrow again as far as I can afford it, let them keep coming. What are friends for?

DeKen:
I laughed so hard. I hate ingrates. Those feeling that the husband is week in handling the wife. Read again, you'll see the husband is with her on this. Else she won't text him to avoid the liver source and he complies without objection. It's his friend that he's not able to confront. I will confront you though. You can't make my wife uncomfortable and I condone you. Unless you are the one feeding us.

If the wife told him to avoid the liver souce, he had to protect himself but he will become an accomplice if anything happens to the friend. What if it were poison and he sat there while his friend complained.

1st of all, my wife knows, i eat what is served and no one eats different in my house unless the person is either allergic or dislikes a particular food.

That means when my friends visit, we eat from the same pot. You poison my friend, na me you do am.

I cant think of any of my friends i would allow my wife do that to and any of my friends who allows his wife do that to me is history.

Pavore9:
Being married, the dynamics has changed....your friends can not just zoom in to your home whenever they like and tell your wife what she should prepare for them.

What if their lives depends on their friend?

She should ask the hubby to find a solution, or ask him for go ahead with her plans. When my wife does that, i will reconsider my love for her cause i may be breeding a murderer.

Onyekachi419:
Madam that was bad you shouldn't do that to your husband best friend besides you don't know what they do outside you should try to bring him close. there are better way to handle such people

Correct wife na im u b.

When a woman sees food like a big deal, what if the hubby dash him friend a car?

Some good men end when the marry while the best in some men come out when they marry. The major thing is the wife.

I have a friend whom my wife hates, he has noticed but I forbid her to show him any sign she dislikes him. She knows that she cannot even stop me from seeing him even though i know he is extremely stingy but would spend any amount to sleep with a young girl. My wife thinks he is exposing me to bad habits meanwhile his womanizing disgust me. Buttomline is, we did a certain business that paid my bills for over a year.

LifestyleTonite:
Below is a narration from a lady about how she taught her husband's entitled friend a painful lesson which made him to stop visiting them.

Read her Twitter thread below.



https://lailasnews.com/lady-husbands-entitled-friend-lesson/

Even though I agree that some people can be over reaching, I don't agree that she should torture a man because of food especially one that she didn't provide.

Secondly, an Amariya for that matter, she may not have an idea how long they came off with their relationship. She has no idea what her husband benefited or would benefit from this guy in the future. Her hubby didn't marry her to choose his friends or take control his life. If she treats her husbands friend like this, how would she treat her MIL if she was over reaching too?

I have this bosom friend, very nice and accommodating. His older brother and several cousins and friends including me lived in an apartment he rented. I had my own home and family in another town. I had no need to get a second apartment since we hustle together. Everything was fine until he got married. I assure you, none of his friends or relatives waited around for the bride. He is a people's guy but lives a boring life right now. He begs me to come to his house but I just cant.

The reason we stay far from his home now are numerous. Just before the marriage when she visits, she doesn't want him hanging out with us thinking we are bad influence. She has no idea that my friend learned self control from me, he used to pass out almost every time he drinks depending on me to get home. One day coming back from town, together with her, his bro and me, I told him i want to hang out before going home, my friend says, "bae, we will head to SDK (our spot), make some food and please, we will drop u at the junction so u take okada home (3mins walk)" she says, "baby, mu je gida mana (no baby, lets go home)" "he says no" she says "wato bazaka ji magana na ba ko (so you will not listen to me at all)". I was shocked that this girl would say that in the presence of his older bro and I, making it sound like he is choosing me over her. This was a girl my friend met on facebook 6 months prior, he showed me her FB pics asking me if she is good, i encouraged him. I drove him to her place on valentines day for their first meeting. In less than a year they were married and his friends and relatives are now competing with her for his loyalty.

One of the problems i had was my friend didnt know how to check his wife and she couldn't check him either. Say my friend is buying Suya for 1k and there are 5 people in the house. He buys 2 wraps of N500 each, one portion he takes to his babe in the room and the other he drops it for the boys and himself. Later the babe chop she no fit finish, the left over is brought out for the boys. Knowing that half the portion is in the room, i will not eat the suya at all cause i dont eat left overs and deserve some respect. I prefer her serve me even if its 2 pieces, she can eat the rest but never to bring out left overs from the room. I grew up from a house that when my father buys something, my mum shares portions for every one who is interested. If this girl cannot correct her hubbys wrong, infact she is worst than him.

Even though we are still very good friends, we only meet outside so that his family affair would not interfere with our relationship. The result is that we spend much more time outside than home with our wives. We were university classmates and roomates and have helped one another throughout our lives for almost 20years now. Meanwhile, a woman he met 2yrs ago has changed both our lives forever.

The funny thing is that whatever is wrong with their marriage, he still comes to me for advice. I think wives should be careful of their husbands friends cause i could pay back her kindness.

Jayslicky:
APC government is the worst in the history of Nigeria, other countries now call us the "inconclusive country".

I don't know how young you were during the PDP days.

Those of us who remember, know that when the PDP held sway, opposition didn't even have the audacity to complain. This means that APC has been fair to PDP compared to how ruthless PDP was.

Imagine APC states like Sokoto and Bauchi falling back to PDP. Imagine Kano escaping under the violence of Ganduje.

The fact that so many states are won with slim margins like the Sokoto 342 votes, this scenes says the electoral process has greatly improved between 2015 and now.

All i see is the magnanimity of APC for losing and letting go unlike the PDP between 2003 to 2011. PDP were bad losers then and even now.

Also, the courts have seen worst days, we are in an era when tribunals do their job thoroughly.

So if you cant see the magnanimity, i see it and commend the APC but that does not mean they should not improve.

Autowiz and kashif please i need your ideas.

I drive a 2003 Honda Accord 2.4l. Am not sure if i have a problem or not but i dont like the downshift from 2 to 1.

Say i am slowing down for a speed breaker and would accelerate after the bump, in most cases the gear refuses to shift down to 1 ready for me to accelerate with full power. The result is a less powerful acceleration because i am taking off from 2 and probably a speed lower than the range for gear 2. If i accelerate hard, i dont get full power for some seconds until the speed catches up to the 2nd gear range then the acceleration improve to full power.

If i desperately want the gear to shift to 1 after the bump, i have to floor the accelerator but the shift will be hard with a thud. The other way is to do it manually by shifting the stick to 1.

It only shifts down to 1 by itself when i come to complete stop or slow down almost stopping.

I have not driven other car EODs to conclude a general issue but i certainly dont like that drag of an inappropriate gear.

Starting from zero, all gears shift up or down smooth for the 2-1. Normal drive, there isnt any sign of the problem but when you need hard acceleration after slowing down then i get the problem for some seconds.

Rubbiish:
Are u sure u are not misinterpreting your engineer?
Did he specifically told u he was referring to wheelbarrow? Because naturally he would be referring to a headpan with such mix and if it is a headpan, i see nothing wrong with the mix. You need to confirm from him if he was referring to a wheelbarrow or headpan?

It will be wrong whether head pan or wheel barrow for the reason that he mentioned 1 bag of cement.

The 2 scenerios of wheel barrow or head pan will give;

1bag:2wheel barrow:3wheel barrow is synonymous to ½wheel barrow:2wheel barrow:3wheel barrow.

Or

1bag:2head pan:3pmhead pan is synonymous to 2head pan:2head pan:3head pan

Thats is because the approximation is 1 bag is equal to 2 head pans or half a wheel barrow. 2headpans make a bag or 4 head pans make a wheel barrow

SpecialAdviser:
In a sane country, the INEC chairman would have been arrested for being a partisan politician.

Why this transfered responsibility we do every time. OBJ and GEJ suffered it, Buhari is suffering it, Yakubu Mahmood is suffering it.

Is the INEC chairman the perpetrator of the violence?

That means your smart card reader isn't just working fine, because I can confirm to you that the ones used in my locality has the feature on it, majority of these smart card readers used in this year, had it embedded in them.....

Can you point to where i wrote that my SCR did not have the app "embedded in them" or "didnt have the feature"?

I told you that the 2 SCR in my PU had the app, upon putting the username and password, it displays an error message. I also said, being close to the LGA EO, the entire LGA didnt use the app just like me cause it displays that same error.

Alkanelly:
Experts in the house,
Please I need help and advice here. Here is my situation. I am in diaspora building a block of 2 bedroom flats, 2 down and 2 up
So am currently on the beam and first floor slab of my 4 units of 2 bedroom flats in port Harcourt. At this point the engineer has used 226 bags of cement to do the staircase, beams and one of the two flats on the ground floor, the other flat will be done today which I think may take another 90 bags of cement, so in total I am looking at around 312 bags of cement. My worry is that is that I think so much bags of cement has gone into the slab and beam. The mix ratio he is using is 1:2:3 according to him. I bag of cement, 2 wheelbarrow of sand and 3 wheelbarrow of granite. Is this acceptable, what your advice. The area of slab is 288m2 and I have currently spent up to 3.6 million naira.

That mix ratio is bad.

Your mix ratio is not 1:2:3, it is ½:2:3 or 1:4:6.

Reason is that 2 bags of cement is approximately 1 wheel barrow. So a 1:2:3 is supposed to be 1wheel barrow of cement (not 1 bag):2wheel barrow of sharp sand:3wheel barrow of gravel.

That makes your ratio terrible except if you mistakenly typed bag of cement instead of a wheel barrow.

Remember, 1:3:6 is regarded as lean concrete so your 1:4:6 is worst and is not fit for structural members of a building.

Daviddson:
Many APC apologists including my humble self blamed South Easterners for not voting in Chris Ngige in 2015, saying that he'll have become the Senate president. Now that APC has three senators from the SE, can't one be chosen from them? What other excuses does APC have?

Can you list them and tell me what exactly have those senators contributed to APC?

Which of the 3 are ranking Senators?

akaahs:
I'm not arguing with you, I personally carry the corper to our INEC office on discovery that the machine isn't authenticating what we were told was that the problem is all over i.e the Presidential election nd the same thing happened on the governotorial election. I'm pretty sure same problem was encountered in most state. I ask is two weeks not enough for INEC to rectify the problem of authentication before the governotorial election?

Was there a problem with authentication? I am not aware. What exactly is authentication? Or you mean to say acreditation.

Any SCR that doesn't acredit a single person in the PU was probably programmed with a wrong PU code and database. That was exactly the problem I had with one SCR.

Once you turn on the SCR and launch the acreditation app, it displays some data among which is the PU code. Once you see the PU code is not the code you know, you instantly know it wont acredit a single person.

In our case, the VP SCR had the correct code but the main PU SCR had a code of another state. Kaduna code is 18 while the code i saw in the SCR was 32. I immediately called the RATECH.

charliboy654:
33kva is for industrial area while 11kva is for residential areas, but some people in some residential areas might decide to pay the Disco to supply 33kva to supply them instead of 11kva.


Lightening are attracted to tall or high build, these overhead transmission line are very high and they can easily be attracted to lightening is why they are turned off during thunderstorms.
The delay can be cause by many factors, these things are controlled by human and they can decide to change how dey do things.

I dont think so, with regards the bolded.

The basis for have transmission lines in different voltage is due to distance of transmission and the quantitative capacity to transmit.

For example, if you want to transmit 200mega watts from Sapele to Enugu, a 33kv single circuit line would over heat and be disastrous. When the cable heats up, loses become astronomical as such 200mega watt at one end would decipate to 150mega watt in Enugu. The loss of 50MW is not acceptable so the use of 330kv is inevitable.

Therefore, a 33kv line is only constructed to transmit electricity from one point to another delivering the capacity of electricity beyond which an 11kv would carry without too much losses.

Assuming a 33kv maximum capacity is 30MW and a company has a demand of 25MW, a dedicated 33kv must be available for them. The line could also be shared by several industries or residential. Say the industry needs 20MW and the residential community around it needs 10MW, they will share the line unless the industry decides to build their own dedicated line.

If an industrial demand is say 5MW and an 11KV line would carry it conveniently, there is no need for a 33Kv

In summary, capacity demand is the main determinant of the type of transmission line.

ikorodureporta:
Did you know......

Only with regards to height but not the tower structure.

Mind you, in Nigeria, we use 11, 33, 132 and 330kv only.

The way a lay man could easily identify them apart is ground clearance and tower size.

11 and 33kv resemblance is striking but for difference in ground clearance. Same for 132 and 330 also resemble but size and ground clearance would set them miles apart.

SillyMods:
Kudos.

But Atiku will be the one to prove authenticity of his own result or prove that INEC's result is not the correct version. In that case, Atiku will somehow have to score an own goal by revealing who was compromised or how he hacked INEC system to get the result he has. If we get to that level, all his evidences will have been tainted and unreliable since he will have shown that he used illegal means to get certain info from INEC's system.

We don't have to be a lawyer to know that he has one way or the other shot himself in the foot.

True.

Some evidences are inadmissable in court just like this one. Atiku has to explain how he got the results from INEC server legally. As long as INEC didn't issue it to him, the document is inadmissable.

akaahs:
nice one, i voted in the just concluded election.i travelled from abuja to kaduna before the postponement, came back and went bact again for the presidential election. i can categorically tell you that our finger tips were not authenticated due to INEC inefficiency in their dealings, both my polling unit ward 08 and all the unit we visited with my friend. we visited ward 10, 9, 15, 25, 18, 12, 16 and 07. this failure happened both in the presidential and governotorial elections.

I hail my Kaduna brother.

With regards to finger print and authentication, it is not fair to INEC to say it is their inefficiency.

Finger prints scanning is a complicated process and you donot expect it to work 100% of the time. I was a PO with a VP, so we had 2 card readers. I had to swap responsibility with APO 1 for her in ability to be fast and to operate the card reader successfully. One card reader of ours was wrongly programmed to another state code and it didn't work while the other worked perfectly. We took back the non working one to the RATECH for over 2hrs they reprogrammed while the other was still working fine. When i came back, i took responsibility of the card reader just to clear the massive size of the crowd which was also rancorous. At the close of voting, the repaired card reader had a record of 211 acreditation while the other had 178. The other one had over 2hrs of starting time but i passed it. Successful accreditation on mine was 112 to failed 99 while the other had a split of 92 successful to 86. I did more in a shorter time and had more success rate due to my personal techniques. These techniques or the speed is not thought by INEC, it comes with intuition.

I knew that all fingers were captured during voters registration so i didnt waste time scanning one finger twice if it fails. You have 3 tries. I concentrated on the left hand which in most cases had less finger print scars. The right hand thumb was the most scarred finger so avoided it. Some people have really sweaty hands that would just smear the scanner glass, had those people rub off their finger on their cloth before placing the finger. Upon placing the finger, i used my 2nd hand to press down the finger to the glass which increases the size of the capture imaged increasing the print quality and size. This ia appart from cleaning the lens glass after almost every attempt and other tricks i tried.

However, even as I did my best to get one captured, if the captured record during voter registration is blurred, my efforts will still be in vain.

I conclusion, yes INEC has some responsibility for not properly training voter registration and polling adhoc staff, the buck still falls on the person who handles the fingerprint scanners in both registration and voting. Where i worked, we had farmers, miners, mechanics and alot of people doing very hard labour. I was shocked by some whose acreditation was successful and disappointed that some whose print was like a studio photo but failed. The acreditation worked but not 100% of the time and the percentage success depends largely on the operator but is almost always greater than 50% if the operator isn't dumb.

That means your smart card reader isn't just working fine, because I can confirm to you that the ones used in my locality has the feature on it, majority of these smart card readers used in this year, had it embedded in them.....

Can you read at all? What does this "When you click on it, it displays an error message." mean to you?

If Dogara wrote Police IG to report an offence Bauchi Governor is about to commit but has not committed, remind me, what will the IG do or what is the aim of the letter if the Bauchi gov didnt do as expected?

Am confused.

The heading is misleading.

The headline says the pilot was untrained on the particular airplane but the article says the airline is just received the simulator.

Which other pilot the airline had that was trained in the simulator?

The headline seems to say it was a pilot error but the body says training was the issue.

Bro dnt argue what you don't know. When you tap on the icon, and u have strong network, it will take u immediateley where u will input your login details. Remeber the server is too busy then so u need strong network to beat the traffic. If not an error message will appear immediately u tap the icon.

How can e-collation server be busy but acreditation server is free as a bird when both are INEC servers? How would the server be busy for the entire LGA at least of which i know.that e-collation didnt happen?

I think you need to shut up because all what you ve been saying is out of ignorance, makes no sense and devoid of any fact. Youve been jumping frim one false hood to another.

My last word for you, e-collation didnt happen in the 2019 elections. The app on the SCR was intentionally disabled due to the fact that electronic voting or transmission of results is still banned by the electoral act. INEC could not have done it and certainly Atiku cannot prove that such database exist.

henrolevra:
You can't access the app interface if your not connected to the internet, hence we are advice to connect to wifi.
I doubt if you know what e-collation app is meant for. It is where you enter and validate all the scores each political party scored in any election. Possibly u scan and upload all the results sheet of all the polling unit under ur care. The work is not meant for PO's but RATECH.

Why won't i know. I was a PO do you remember I said so. I have the training manual in my phone at this moment and since before the training.

If the app required a WiFi according to you while PO's are responsible for using the app, the question is did INEC provide any WiFi for any PU in Nigeria? Am sure no is the answer. That means the app was never meant to be used or was not used in the entire 2019 election.

Besides, didnt the electoral law prohibit electronic transmission of results in Nigeria? Even if there was such e-collation as you claim, INEC is forbidden to use it as it will be against the law.

Lastly, since the last comment of yours is a blatant lie, i assume you do not know the electoral process.

RATECH's have no responsibility whatsoever with polling or polling results. Their responsibility is to program and solve technical problems of the SCR. The official users are the PO and APO1.

What ever results is sent using the card reader by anyone other than a PO is illegal. The official results of a PU is signed under the name of the PO. The password a RATECH creates belongs to the PO, using such password by the RATECH is like tampering with results. Also, voting must be closed by the PO at the PU and e-collation is supposed to be done in the presence of party agents at PU not at the RAC where the RATECH is based.

It is clear to me that you have no idea who has which responsibility in this election and probably you are the people who masterminded violations of the electoral laws then turning around to blame INEC or Mahmood.

Say what your sure of. The e-collation app was very functional. It requires strong network to run.

4G like or what are you talking about.

When you click on an app's Short cut or link, what do you expect?

You expect to enter the apps interface, then the app would connect to the internet there after.

This is not the case here. It displays error immediately and it was not a network related issue. A network issue should take some seconds before it returns an error message but not this one. Meanwhile i had 3g MTN network on my phone.


Meanwhile the 2 SCR in my PU didnt open likewise the entire ward and LGA. EO is my friend so i have this fact. It wasn't a network issue.

Also, the acreditation data is larger to e-collation so which one should need strong network?

henrolevra:
It require a strong network to run. I was a tech personnel too. Z-pads was latter giving to us to run the e-collation at our inec state hdqrt.

The app/link didnt open at all, not that the was a network error.
