Nope! INEC should be thoroughly reconfigured to flush out all the post Jega/Mahmud Yakubu era officials including the partisan APC-card carrying RECs Yakubu appointed.

Just know that the problem with INEC (and all the MDAs and parastatals we now have in Nigeria) is a very deep-rooted attitudinal problem.
It affects all the living souls who are working over there..
If you flush out the appointed heads,, all the workers and staff-members who are in the organization are all still the same..

What exactly should we be doing in order to start correcting all these bad attitudes to work, and all the bad attitudes towards true productivity??

Next is legislation by the NASS to mandate INEC to enforce electronic voting, operation of a secured functional server with immediate updated electoral information as obtainable in the US and other democracies

If you noticed,, the Electoral-Act tried all it could to avoid the use of the word “Server”..
Even in trying to describe transmission, it seemed as if the Electoral-Act doesn't even know exactly what it meant by the word transmission..
Whether for the Presiding Officers to snap and send pictures of the results to photo-servers..
Or for the Presiding Officers to key-in the values in their machines and send same to a central Collation Server/System..
Or even a combination of both activities..
It just trusted INEC to come up with something -- anything at all..
And that means,, INEC can actual choose to come up with NOTHING..

So,, if the National Assembly Members gives us another amended Electoral-Act that gives INEC the powers and authorities to make choices again rather than giving them specific mandates on what they should be doing,, then,, I will consider that amended Electoral-Act like another useless document.

With this, before the announced person is sworn in, Court will use the evidence to validate or not!

Fighting electoral corruption is not hard. In South Africa, all the results trickles in, in a large display. With your own eyes, you go know whether you win or not!

Very Straight Forward..

In a country called Switzerland,, after elections, the Country’s Statistical Board is supposed to always run consistency-tests on their results within ONE WEEK..

So, it happened that last year,, an election in Switzerland was cancelled and reversed within ONE WEEK..
The Country’s statistical board passed the whole data concerning the election through their algorithms for testing the consistency of election results,, and they found some really huge inconsistencies which would have affected the outcome of the results if they were overlooked..

And that was it.!!

JUST ONE WEEK.!!

But here in Nigeria, Eleven Months will just pass in the courts, and nothing good would still come out of it.

That was a mistake..
The actual country is Switzerland..
Not Norway..

We don't like to engage on issue based discussions, rather we focus too much attentions on petty discussions with no proffering of any solution to the issues affecting the country.

We continue to evolve..

The truth is...
The time we get our elections right,, there won't be need for all these election-petition tribunals any longer.

The whole data is already out in the open, and very easy to obtain.
Lots of organisations would get their hands on the data, and involve lots of independent audit firms who would look at the data from lots of different angles..

And each and every of the audit reports would still be arriving towards similar results,, ((save for some little discrepancies, which could be as a result of the methodologies used by those different auditors)).
That's what it should be.

..

But when the wrong things are done,, hoarding of data becomes the next thing, so as to avoid exposing the wrongdoings..

This now means that researchers cannot do any research with the Nigerian Elections.

For instance, we cannot really pinpoint the Number or Percentage of youths who actually participated in these past elections.
How many of the voters were Civil-Setvants, how many of them were farmers??
Which states were there the most percentage of farmers who came out to vote??

These types of questions are what researchers need answers to..
But INEC said that they don't have such data any longer..

I also created a thread about why election results must be mandated to be transmitted immediately after the counting of votes at the polling stations and the results declared there should be final..

https://www.nairaland.com/7230596/important-things-should-discussing-during

As for the timely transmission of the results,, let us just say that the letters and the words which were used inside current Electoral-Act didn't state it clearly,, even though that was exactly what the law-makers had in mind when they mentioned “transmission”.

That is why I am always talking about further amendment of this current Electoral-Act,, where more specific procedures for any intentioned activities are well explained/described,, and most-importantly, these activities should be tied to SPECIFIC TIMELINES..
Or else, such specifically mentioned activities would become something which the INEC are free to do anytime they like,, even after 6-years.

Nobody took the below thread seriously before the last election

I also created a thread about why election results must be mandated to be transmitted immediately after the counting of votes at the polling stations and the results declared there should be final..

https://www.nairaland.com/7230596/important-things-should-discussing-during

The thread is nice..

One thing with Nigeria is this:: no matter the good intentions for the invention or the establishment of ANYTHING,, Nigerians are always out to find ways to bye-pass those intentions..
((Even if they have to include those people who are in charge of those inventions and/or establishments))..

And we are not ready to address this anomaly yet as a people..
We choose to pretend that all is well..
We choose to always point out that every country in the world do the same things we are doing..
We choose to tell ourselves that we should stop noticing such things.
Yet, the well-intentioned inventions and establishments continue to be bastardized as time goes on.

If you would like to be getting more of my opinions on issues like these; please follow me on X-(Twitter), at @BluntCrazeMan...

I strongly believe that the day when the INEC-Results (and all the Possible Election DATA that goes with the Results) start to get fully published for public viewing and scrutiny (and also open to independent forensic audit) within 14-days of declaring the results,, that would be the only time our elections are beginning to get transparent enough..

ELECTORAL REFORMS: INEC SHOULD BE MANDATED TO SEND ALL ELECTION DATA TO THE NBS.

The National Assembly should amend the Section-62-(subsection-2) of the Electoral-Act in such a way that the INEC should be mandated -- to within a SPECIFIED TIMEFRAME after the announcement of the results (Say; 2-weeks) -- publish on their website; ALL the Election Accreditation Data including the summarized final results, together with all the lower-level collated results and the various results of the various Polling-units -- for each of the elections that are concluded by the INEC.
(The Election Accreditation Data which are published on the website should come with all the possible categorizations and demographics fully represented).



..

The Electoral-Act should also be amended in such a way to mandate the INEC -- to within a SPECIFIED TIMEFRAME after the announcement of the results (Say; 2-weeks) -- Formally/Officially send ALL the Election Accreditation Data including the summarized final results to the office of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) for statistical documentation purposes.
The NBS (after receiving the set of data from the INEC) should be mandated by the Electoral-Act to run series of necessary independent consistency-tests on the whole set of data received (without any further compulsory input from the INEC during the period of the consistency-tests) before making the data public on their platforms; from where independent researchers can have access to the election data.
The maximum timeline for the election data to be made public by the NBS (including the publishing of the comprehensive reports which showed all the methodologies and the full results of all the consistency-tests which they conducted on the election results) should also be specified inside the Electoral-Act.. (Say; 3-weeks).
(The Election Accreditation Data that is sent to the NBS by the INEC should have all the possible categorizations and demographics fully represented in it)

The Electoral-Act should also indicate what would happen to the sets of data that were sent to the NBS, should in case the data-set FAILS the mandatory consistency-tests that would be conducted by the NBS.

A girl I am currently seeing is telling me the cost of her bride price is #120 that once I pay that..20 naira will even be handed back to me because she is not for sale. I asked her if that's all for the traditional marriage.. she said from there if we want to do big ceremony it's our choice. I think I am about to be scammed into marriage, something I might regret in the long run.. and I still wonder why her elder brother is still single (in his 40s) if marriage is cheap over there.

I wouldn't want a case whereby after doing that I will be presented an unexpected list of things to provide.

She's from the south.
I want confirmation if this is true

If the bride price is Costly,, the same you will complain.

Now it is very cheap,, you're still complaining,, and even roping an innocent guy into the story.
Guy wey never find girl that suits him, now you think it was all about money.

A lot has changed since then. Nowadays, the police will keep billing you till you give up and forget about the phone

Redomi:
3 weeks ago (3/5/2023) thief climb the fence of our house and jump into our compound, cut the window netting of each apartment and takes away 4 phones including my Oraimo 27,000mah power bank.
The next day we report the case at the police station, the police asked us to pay 30k for tracking of one of the phone (oppo A55) we paid immediately.
Today the police called that they have gotten a target, someone using the phone in a nearby town, just 35km to where we stay.
The police still charged us another 65k which is for mobilization and other things.


Please share your experience let's learn.

You have not gotten the phone yet,, right??
They just saw a “soft-target”.
They will still not arrest the person who sold the stolen phone to the soft-target, neither will they find and arrest the main thief who did the actual stealing.

Once your phone is stolen,, forget it.

That's what I learnt from my own personal experience.

Thought they condemned the idea of having an airport as planned by the Ikpeazu regime, saying, it wasn't a priority project.

Ikpeazu was the one who said that AIRPORT is not a priority,, and went ahead to divert the money meant for it.

Stop telling fake stories here..

If Otti considers it a priority project,, then allow him to his decisions.

What is conspiracy about Obi and his Zikist philosophy ?

Obi even campaigned on preserving the flawed 1999 constitution which is nothing but a handed down document of Zik's aspirations for a Nigeria ruled under a powerful centrist government.

Now you're beginning to tell lies..

Good Luck

ZIAZI:
Politics aside, most of us no just get respect!
Prof. Soyinka is a legend and abusing him based on his political opinion or affiliation is stupid!

I voted for Peter Obi during the election because he was my preferred candidate over Atiku and now Pres. Tinubu, but why should we divide ourselves to abuse people based on their political positions? I have never insulted Tinubu and I do not wish him to fail. If anything should go wrong, it will affect me too because I am situate in Nigeria.

It's not just some of the Obidients, it's gradually becoming an ethnoreligious something. If one politician no be your person, the other one na grand rubbish!

I like Nyesom Wike, but the next person from another camp sees me as a madman!

Na wahala we dey oooo!

1. If a respected elder disrespects himself (by getting your 13-year-old relative pregnant -- for instance),, how would you regard him.??

2. If an elder slaps you four hard times on your cheeks with two hands (two slaps on each of your cheeks with both hands), and you saw no reason for those slaps,, what would you do.??

Nigeria’s old National Anthem



The House of Representatives passed a bill seeking to return us to reciting the old national anthem.

I like the part that says "In brotherhood we stand"

Our LAND changed from MOTHERLAND in the old anthem to FATHERLAND in the new anthem.

Obi doesn't have a TEAM yet.

So,, which “TEAM” is this old liar actually referring to??

..



..

I wonder why lazy journalists continue to ask this man about Peter-Obi,, whereas there is a Tinubu which the man has to say something about..

Nobody knows Soyinka’s assessment of Tinubu..
Yet, they are all lazily asking him about Peter-Obi,, just for him to continue vomiting his forever-sworn hatred for the Obidients.

I have this neighbour who rented a room and parlour self con
But the kitchen in their flat is very big as a family of 5 with plenty friends

They converted the kitchen to a Room and starting bringing their plate to the back of my bedroom window to wash

If you hear the noise of plates n pot u will pity me I can't sleep cos of constant noise n fight very loud, the whole noise feels as if it's happening in my flat.


Sometimes this plates and pots smells like a dead rat and I will be force to close my window.

I have begged this family severally to to wash their plates inside their flat but I will never listen rather they will be throwing tantrums.

Recently they made it a permanent place of washing plates n pots

So I had to involve the landlord and he asked them to stop

Since they the entire family have been in their flat insulting me calling me names.

Am becoming very uncomfortable

Right now I don't know what action to take cos I don't want to respond to any of this insult

How do I put an end to this .

Whatever you're not using,, other people will use it for you..

Your Backyard is Yours.

Find an alternative permanent use for the backyard space.
