What if these booklets are already pre-signed like we saw in the last off-season election?

They were not supposed to be pre-signed.
That was why people raised alarm when they noticed such in the off-cycle election.

Like we said during the Presidential judgement, if we get into the next election with this same EA, we are toast!

THAT'S FOR SURE..

Something must be done, not too much though!

In the meantime,, seeing the Judgements so far delivered,, are there things that can be done in order to cope with the current situations and laws??

Or everybody just sit and watch the riggers try to out-rig themselves??

Politics › Re: The Kano State Supreme Court Judgement Is A “Go-ahead” To Ballot-box Stuffing. by BluntCrazeMan(op): 1:40pm On Jan 14, 2024*

I was against the earlier tribunal judgement which made us to believe that “ONLY THE BALLOT-PAPERS WHICH HAD THE NNPP VOTES WERE CHECKED, AND NOT ALL THE VOTES CAST..”

Thus, the judgement was totally biased and one-sided.

It was a deadly ambush.

If the APC actually wanted to seek out all those stuffed-votes, then they should do the same for all the votes that were cast in that election -- and remove all of them,, and then recount the whole remaining votes all over again.
And not for them to come and search out for only the votes cast for the NNPP alone and start tampering with it, whereas all the other stuffed-ballot-papers for all the other parties were still untouched and unseen, and not-removed.

Politics › The Kano State Supreme Court Judgement Is A “Go-ahead” To Ballot-box Stuffing. by BluntCrazeMan(op): 1:39pm On Jan 14, 2024*

The verdict of the Supreme-Court on Friday (12th January 2024) with respect to the Kano State Governorship Election of March-2023, held that the APC were not able substantially prove that the contested 165,616 unstamped and unsigned ballot papers did not originate from the conduct of the election, and thus, the 165,616 votes of the NNPP which the Election Petition Tribunal and the Appeal Court earlier cancelled wouldn't have been cancelled in the first place.

The Judgement later went on to declare that the “stamping-and-signing of the ballot-papers by the presiding-officers at the polling-units is not necessary, since it was not stated in the Electoral-Act.”

What the Supreme Court Judges didn't recognize was that this Judgement of theirs just caused a major set-back in the Nigerian Electoral Jurisprudence, and at the same time, made the “INEC’s Regulations and Guidelines” a totally useless document once again.

In paragraph-19; sub-paragraph-(f)(ii) of the “INEC’s Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections 2022”; one of the functions of the Presiding Officers at polling units were clearly stated as thus:
On being satisfied that the voter had been duly accredited, “the Presiding Officer SHALL stamp, sign, and write the date of the election on the back of the ballot paper before giving it to the accredited voter.”

This automatically means that every ballot-paper that was torn-out for the purpose of election must be stamped and signed singly by the presiding officer at the point of tearing it out before issuing it to the accredited voter,, and also that the presiding officer must not stamp and sign multiple ballot-papers ahead of tearing them out. This also means that any unsigned and unstamped ballot-papers which found their way into the ballot-boxes were not authentically issued by the Presiding Officers at the Polling-units.

The unsigned and unstamped ballot-papers which found their way into the ballot-boxes are already a proof of over-voting and electoral-malpractice on its own.

Some people may now argue that the Section-63(2) of the Electoral-Act made provisions for the Returning Officer to by-pass the provisions of the “INEC’s Regulations and Guidelines” where necessary, and to use his powers as the retuning officer to count all those rejected ballot-papers that were not stamped and signed by the presiding officers at the polling-units.

In order to fully understand the Section-63(2) of the Electoral-Act better, let us first see the Section-42(1-2) of the Electoral-Act.

The Section-42(1-2) of the Electoral-Act stated thus:
“42.—(1) The Commission shall prescribe the format of the ballot papers which shall include the symbol adopted by the political party of the candidate and such other information as it may require.

--(2) The ballot papers shall be numbered serially with differentiating colours for each office being contested.”

Then,, in Section-63(2), the Act stated:
“If the returning officer is satisfied that a ballot paper which does not bear the official mark was from a book of ballot papers which was furnished to the presiding officer of the polling unit in which the vote was cast for use at the election in question, he or she shall, notwithstanding the absence of the official mark, count that ballot paper.”

This section didn't state exactly what “Official Mark” meant. But the Electoral-Act was definitely was not referring to the stamping-and-signing of the ballot-papers which is a duty which the Presiding-officers must perform for each-and-every ballot-papers that were torn-out and given to the accredited voter when it mentioned “Official Mark”.

The Kano State Judgement simply means that the stamping-and-signing of the ballot-papers before issuing them to the accredited voters is unnecessary, since it is not contained in the Electoral-Act, (even though it is contained in the “INEC’s Regulations and Guidelines”)..

And again, the judgement also means that the people at the polling-units can now collude with some biased Presiding Officers at the polling-units, and the Presiding-officers would allow them to tear-out as many unstamped-and-unsigned ballot-papers as possible from the ballot-papers booklets, and thumb-print them, and then, pour the unstamped-and-unsigned thumb-printed ballot-papers into the ballot-boxes right there at the polling-units in front of the presiding-officers., and these would all remain valid -- according to the recent Judgement.

The Arewa Twitter Community are doing crowd-sourced fundraising on Twitter which is tagged #NajeebaAndHerSisters....

They intend to gather these funds and give to the Kidnappers of Najeeba and her sisters, so that they can be released..

...

It has finally come to this extent.!!

We now do Public Donations and Fundraising in order to give to kidnappers and criminals and bandits..

And we think that the criminals would not strike again??

This second time around, they would even be the ones to be telling the relatives of the kidnapped victims (to their crying faces) to go to twitter and do fundraising if they cannot raise the money privately within themselves..

Things had gone so bad,, and we are watching helplessly, and trying to adjust and adapt to it.. This is so baadd..

Dear Late Akeredolu...

By now, you're already a simple nothingness.
You are now matterless, and totally unconscious.

Whatever we are doing for you now are just formalities.

You're already a matterless-entity called “The Soul”.
The spirit which gives life has left your body.

Your soul which made you who-and-what you were had now dissolved off your body and joined back to the Universe, and had already diffused itself into the many other existing dimensions and realms of the Universe.
And now, your personal consciousness while you were still living must have totally disappeared from your dead brain by now...
Thus, you have become totally unconscious by now.

**(The best thing that could have been done about your precious consciousness would have been to use science and technology to quickly extract from your carcass any of your consciousness that are still available or remaining at the time of your death, before they too would disappear entirely.)**

Your body will soon gradually decay off and join the earth.

All that we the living will have left are memories of you.

And as for you, Late Akeredolu...
You now know nothing, you now remember nothing, and even if your wandering (dissolved-and-diffused) soul tries to concentrate itself and enter into a new zygote or fetus, then, it would just be your character which just came back to life, and not your consciousness.. The new baby which has your renewed soul cannot remember anything which you did or which happened to you in your past life.... therefore, you are totally gone, and gone for good.

CAN DEAD MEN REINCARNATE??
WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE AFTER THEIR DEATH?

AKEREDOLU MUST HAVE FOUND THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ABOVE BY NOW,...
BUT THEN,, HE WOULD BE SO TOTALLY UNCONSCIOUS OVER THERE FOR HIM (HIS UNCONSCIOUS SOUL) TO EVEN START TO THINK ABOUT IT..

if a presiding officer is corrupt or have a political interest he may knowingly and intentionally not sign or sometimes due to crowd and tensions he might forget to sign some of the papers , therefore signing at the polling booth is of no use, after-all there are others means to verify the authenticity of the papers.

Crowd and Tensions??
Heheheeheheheehehehehehe..

I think we are done here.
You've finally arrived at my points.

..
The stamping-and-signing of ballot-papers by the presiding-officers at the polling-units would easily lead to crowd and tensions.. and therefore, it is of no use.

(The people can now collude with the Presiding Officers at the polling-units, and the Presiding-officers would allow them to tear-out as many unstamped-and-unsigned ballot-papers as possible from the ballot-papers booklets, and thumb-print them, and then pour in those unstamped-and-unsigned thumb-printed ballot-papers into the ballot-boxes right there at the polling-units in front of the presiding-officers.. After-all, there are fake-BVAS-machines-methods and Fake-IREV-methods for one to verify the Over-voting which occured at the polling-units.)

How many locals understand the importance of stamp and signing.

How many “THINGS” had the INEC enlightened you on before??

Even this their so called BVAS-Machines,, what and what had they enlightened you about it so far??

In fact...
Guy,, I want to know something from you now.

Are you saying that the stamping-and-signing of the ballot-papers is useless and unnecessary??
(Even when it was clearly stated inside their INEC’s-Guidelines??)

..
Is there any reason why a Presiding-officer should refuse to stamp-and-sing any VALID ballot-paper, even after they were well trained for such??
Give me just one or two of such reasons.

Here is one of those lies.

Politics › Re: Kano: Supreme Court Affirms Gov Kabir Yusuf (NNPP), dismisses APC's suit by BluntCrazeMan: 6:35am On Jan 14, 2024*

sevenhundred:
you can read further you will see where the law states that "if without signing the inec officials satisfied that the paper emanated from them, they should go on with the counting and the election remain valid" you check the electoral law.

The security-measures which the INEC-Guidelines mandated for the Presiding Officers has no alternatives inside the Guidelines..

The stamping-and-signing on the back of the issued ballot paper is a manual security-measure which was to ensure that only the ballot-papers issued by the Presiding Officers were used.

Here, you're quoting section-63(3) of the Electoral-Act.
And the Electoral-Act in itself mentioned “Official-Mark”, and it didn't describe what it meant by “Official-Mark” on the ballot-papers.

The Act didn't mention “stamping-and-signing” of ballot-papers, neither did the Act meant for the “Official-Mark” to mean “stamping-and-signing of the ballot-papers by the PO”.

But from Section-42(2) of the Electoral-Act, the Act said something about Numbering the Ballot-papers serially.
And that's the only official mark the Electoral-Act envisaged here.

Meanwhile,, I have always had my reservations to that Section-63(3) of the Electoral-Act.
I don't really know the exact reasons why that sub-section was included in the Act.

For instance,, If it ever came to be that a particular ballot-paper torn-out from a booklet of ballot-papers does not have the prescribed official-mark (or serial number - as the case may be), it is the duty of the presiding-officer to put the ballot-paper aside and document inside his documents -- that the reason for putting the ballot paper aside was because it doesn't have “Official Mark”.

And now,, let's go back to my original argument,, just in case you might be missing it..

I am not trying to say that the Supreme Court was right or wrong.

What I am saying here is that: The stamping-and-signing of the ballot-papers by the presiding-officers at the exact point of issuing them at the polling-units (as prescribed by the INEC inside the INEC’s-Guidelines) had been rendered totally useless by this particular judgement.. And there is no need any longer for presiding officers to be stamping-and-signing the ballot-papers again during elections..

OR IS THERE ANY NEED AGAIN FOR SUCH TIME-WASTING ACTIVITY WHILE THE ELECTION IS GOING ON,, WHEREAS IT HAD BEEN CONSIDERED UNNECESSARY BY THE SUPREME COURT.??

Politics › Re: Kano: Supreme Court Affirms Gov Kabir Yusuf (NNPP), dismisses APC's suit by BluntCrazeMan: 7:25pm On Jan 13, 2024

sevenhundred:
according to the judgement apc did not prove that the paper does not belong to inec or faked they only depend on non signing of the paper which the courts say it's not mandatory.

The INEC Guidelines for the conduct of election states that:
“After a voter had been successfully accredited,, the Presiding Officer SHALL stamp, sign, and write the date of the election on the back of the ballot paper before giving it to the accredited voter.”
[Parag:19(f)(ii)]

This automatically means that unsigned/unstamped ballot-papers were not issued by the Presiding Officers at the Polling-units.

..
Now you just said that the court had declared that stamping and signing by the POs at the polling-units are no more mandatory again.??
(Something that was written in black-and-white inside the INEC Guidelines.??)

...

Go back and read the first comment of mine which you quoted earlier.

The court just rendered the INEC Guidelines totally useless once again.

Education › Re: FG Unbundles HND Computer Science Across Nigeria by BluntCrazeMan: 10:14am On Jan 13, 2024

Sirchiboy:
The Federal Government of Nigeria has put an end to the study of the Higher National Diploma (HND) Computer Science across all the technical institutions operating in the country. This is to encourage diversification into the world of Computer Science and allow the country's graduates to access the wide space of the field.

The stoppage of the study of HND Computer Science across HND Awarding institutions in Nigeria is contained in a letter obtainable by The Round Table which was dated January 8th, 2024, and duly signed by Prof. Idris M. Bugaje, Executive Secretary, National Board for Technical Education, Federal Republic of Nigeria. The letter was addressed to the Director General, National Youths Service Corp (NYSC) while the Director General, Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and all Rectors, Provosts and Head of Polytechnics, Monotechnics, and all similar technical institutions were copied.

With this development, no HND Awarding institutions will be allowed to admit a new set of students to study Computer Science from the 2024/2025 Academic Session as the board projects to ease out the study of HND Computer Science by 2025.

Meanwhile, students who might have wanted to study computer science at the HND level can now choose from any of the four specialized areas floated from the former "Computer Science" discipline.

The four newly floated areas of specialization floated from Computer Science include HND Artificial Intelligence, HND Networking and Cloud Computing, HND Software and Web Development, and HND Cybersecurity and Data Protection.

And what about degree-awarding institutions??

This is the best comment. I appreciate your input.

To answer your questions.
- I am not missing him physically but definitely thinking about him.
- I've always put myself first and thus built a good life for myself but this time I thought compromising would've served me well. Tbh, it's not with it.

He has 3 children. I cannot even imagine explaining that to my parents. I've been a perfect daughter and I guess this relationship is not worth tarnishing my reputation over. It's very shameful to me (privately) to love a man who I know I won't ever completely call my own. I love his kids, we support them etc but there's nothing I can do except leave and choose my future

Thanks

You did well.

To marry many wives, you have your own separate apartment as the man of the house.

Then the wives and their kids would have theirs too.

Everybody in their own houses.

Whenever anybody needs the attention of the father, they go to the father's house.
And that's where they usually get to meet and interact.
