On the 18th (Saturday) night /early hours of 19th (Sunday) of October 2014. I was in one of the corpers lodge Gboko Benue state. When some of my colleagues that joined INEC in conducting the Buruku LGA Chairman elections came in sharing their different experiences that they encountered at the various polling centre. Some locked up in a room by tugs throughout the election period, some were forcefully ordered by the rogues to sign while they thumb printed their choice party. Some corpers smiled in cos they were settled(with cash) by the politicians or their representatives.... While some other ones were harassed beaten and even given nothing. I even heard of a corper that lost a tooth in the midst of the chaos... At the end of it all PDP was declared by the Electoral body as the winner mentioning that the election was "FREE AND FAIR"
What picture do you think an election at a local level of such is presenting to us in terms of the 2015 general elections?

OK... Bt I thought u said...
That's all...

Many things are happening here in my camp @Wanunne Tarka LG, Benue State.
Share current happenings in your camp here with fellow nairalanders...
Enjoy your camping 5days to go count down continues...

bolarinnwa: Yes ooo. I was posted there too, do you knw anything about the state

Me too #Benue abeg any info on state alawee

TONYE001: Corpers weee ooo..

For those posted to Benue State, congratulations..

I'm serving there now, 2013 Batch C.

Hmmmmm... Makurdi is hot and expensive, like any other city.

Security? Relatively safe.

There is enough food at the rural areas. The Tivs have more foods, though.

The HIV threat is still there; exercise general caution in this regard.

The camp is at Wannune, Tarka LGA. There are transporters to take you there from Makurdi. The charge shouldn't be more than N300.00.

Wannune's temperature is extreme - extremely cold at night and in the mornings and very hot at day.

Water? Unless the situation is better now; at our time, it was a scarce commodity. You can buy water at the Mami market at the rate of N20.00 per bucket or so. The rains would help here though.

Please be prepared to be a Mountain Climber if you are to serve here. The topography here is hilly particularly at the rural areas.

Be careful. Come with an open mind. Here no be your house, there must be discomfort. Do not cry. It's a privilege to serve as many are itching for it.

Anya kro..anya wene-wene..(Benue's Idoma Language)..

Journey safely...

Abeg the state govt they pay?

We Won't Be Blackmailed Into Legalizing Gay
Marriage-FG
The Federal Government,yesterday, declared
before the United Nations Human Rights Council,
that it will not bow to international pressure to
allow same sex marriage in the country. The
government argued that it is not only against the
cultural and traditional values of Nigerians but
that 92 percent of Nigerians support the Anti
Same-Sex Marriage Bill passed by the Senate.
Nigeria also accused foreign countries of
sponsoring the Boko Haram insurgency in some
parts of the country even as it justified the
execution of death row inmates in the country,
contending that it was in accordance with
Nigerian laws.
Defending Nigeria’s human rights record at the
on-going 17th session of the Universal Peer
Review, UPR, mechanism of the UN Human
Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, the
Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr
Mohammed Adoke, SAN, said “Nigeria does not
accept recommendation of some countries on
same sex marriage, because it is against its
national values. Recent polling data suggests
that 92 percent of Nigerians support the Anti
Same-Sex Marriage Bill passed by the Senate
Change Is Inevitable!
