Kundagarten: Hold the election now and watch the nation divide along religeous lines. The muslim north and the sw vs the predominantly christian se and ss. However you look at it, the future is bleak.
byrron: i can see the level of your rationality along with your bitter mindset and frustrations which are not my making and for that reason i give up on you. your premises is so faulty and it defiles logic and common sense.
INEC should get it right this time around and if election was as simplistic as u said then there wont be complaints after the election of which some of this problems are manpower related. it is not rocket science yet we get it wrong because of ideologies like yours with unserious attitude towards getting things done properly.
You appear to me like the type of people that conducted the ill fated immigration test, that is exactly what you want INEC to do not minding the genuine concerns emanating from all quarters.
INEC conducted elections in just 2 states and their were myriads of problems associated with INEC and this same INEC is about to conduct an election for 36 states without correcting the anomalies from the previous elections which are still very glaring as of today yet pseudo-educated goons like you with subjective orientation still don't see any wrong with the level of INEC preparedness for this election?
you are not interested with the legitimate complaint people are making about their names not being in inec register and their inabilities to get their pvcs despite their effort and you are here posting brainless comments as a response to my very simple question to u?
Im asking you again and pls don't dodge these questions for the 3rd time, if inec should postpone the election to a later date, wont u still vote for the candidate you would have voted if the election had taken place on the 14 of February?
secondly, which is more paramount to you- to postpone the election for inec to get its act together and ensure that every eligible voter got their pvc's so that no one get disenfranchised or to go along with the elections as scheduled and ignore all legitimate outcry by those who will be disenfranchised along with the shoddy preparations?
your honest and rational response is highly needed or u are at liberty again to spew crap and dance around the question as usual.
pls, purge urself of every subjective tendencies before responding.
It seems i am wasting my time with you, i have given you figures, facts and you are still talking fiction, you are even accusing me of subjectivity Get lost.
byrron: just read ur response to urself and honestly ask yourself if u are making any form of sense? INEC brought out a list of over 60 million eligible voters of which a large portion of some voters from some region haven't received their pvc's and its very obvious that the time left before the election date will not be sufficient to distribute the remnant pvc's, so what is wrong is in extending of the time to enable every eligible voter to get their pvc's?
why the rush to do the wrong thing? isnt it better to take more time and do the right thing? whats your grouse with that?
Apart from the issue of the pvc's, its very clear that INEC has not even trained their staff properly in respect to this election so what is wrong in taking extra days to put in place all measures for this election?
im now putting this question directly to u, will a change in the election date stop you from voting your choice candidate? if your answer is YES then u need a psychiatrist evaluation for having a mood swing and if your answer is NO then why the noise?
I still repeat you are not making any sense about the issue of PVCs,In 2014 gubernatorial election of Osun and Ekiti, PVCs were use, Osun had PVC collection rate of 68% as at August 2014 election, 6 months after the election, collection rate is still 71% as at last week. In Ekiti ,PVC collection rate was 64% as at June 2014 election, 8 months after the election, collection rate is still 67% as at last week.
i earlier gave you reasons as to why many PVCs will not be collected, to hammer in to your daft head, i will use real and personal scenarios 1.My Grandma died in 2012, she registered for the 2011 election, though she did not vote, surely her PVC is with inec and will stay uncollected 2. My mum who registered in 2011, has said she has no interest in any of the political shitts, and she has made no move to collect her PVCs 3. My immediate elder brother who registered in 2011, left the country for UK in oct last year, his PVC is with INEC. These are my immediate family members, will you blame INEC for those uncollected PVCS.?
On the issue of training of staff, leave INEC to do their job, training has started, those that will be used as adhoc staff are graduates, their tasks are not rocket science , they can be trained in a matter of days.
Only simple minded buffoons do not see through the plan by PDP to ensure election is postponed so that they can buy time to see if they can change the current tempo of a Buhari tsunami, sponsor more campaign of calumny, perfect their rigging plans and possibly use the courts to subvert the political process
YOU GUYS WANT INEC TO CONDUCT AN ELECTION WHEN IT HAS FAILED IN PROVIDING ALL ELIGIBLE REGISTERED VOTERS WITH THEIR PVC's?
SO SOME OF YOU ARE WILLING TO DISFRANCHISE SOME NIGERIANS WHO ARE YET TO GET THERE PVC's FROM INEC, IS THAT NOT THE BEGINNING OF RIGGING OF THE ELECTION?
WILL POSTPONING THE ELECTIONS IN OTHER FOR INEC TO DO THE NEEDFUL BE A WRONG IDEA?
EVEN IF THE ELECTION IS POSTPONED TILL DECEMBER, IS IT NOT THE SAME VOTERS THAT WILL VOTE FOR THEIR VARIOUS CHOICE OF CANDIDATES OR WILL POSTPONING THE ELECTIONS REDUCE OR INCREASE THE VOTERS FOR VARIOUS PARTIES?
LOTS OF YOU HERE REALLY DON'T MAKE SENSE ANYMORE?
EVERY REGISTERED VOTER MUST HAVE THEIR PVC's, THAT IS EQUITY FOR U AND THAT IS JUSTICE.
WHAT STOPPED INEC FROM ISSUING PVC's 2 YEARS AGO?
I PUT THE BLAME FOR NON DISTRIBUTION OF PVC's ON INEC AND THEY SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO DO THE NEEDFUL.
Stop posting nonsense .
close to 90% of the PVCs were from registration in 2011. From 2011 to 2015, there are four years in between, and within that period lots of Nigerian adults running in to millions have died, many have left the country, many have left their former location where they registered and have refused to apply for card transfer to new location, many are simply disenchanted with the electoral process and care less about collecting PVCs, there are too many INEC independent variables as to why cards are not collected. INEC has distributed over 70% of cards, and distribution is ongoing.
i thought INEC has deregistered all these mushroom nuisance parties, they are wasting space on INEC paper, govt must stop funding parties as a disincentive for NFA(no future ambition) parties. INEC can not afford to listen to parties that does not have a Councillor to their name.
babestella: Please stop this rant. Your sorry assss will cry after February 14, just wait and see. Your story is like you already have a 60 inches LED smart TV and someone is coming to take it away to give you a 12 inches black and white tube TV. Your gullibility is irredeemable to think that APC will use Pastor Osinbajo to get the support of RCCG members. That strategy is dead on arrival.
which one is 60 inches LED smart tv? if it is GEJ, then i can tell you that the screen is broken, the audio is faulty, the power unit is burnt, it is of no use, it is simply a waste of space., who ever is coming to take it away is simply helping to dispose electronic waste
PDP is using the security agencies and security chiefs to armtwist INEC, by telling INEC, they cant guarantee the security of election in 4 states of the INEC.
cocokiller1: exactly my point nd in rivers state we had jst one pvc collection centre whr people 4rm other communities also come to get theirs imagine inec officials taking details,catching faces oon camera with jst two laptops 4 a crowd of over 500 people leave home as early as 5 nd endup not getting their pvc's done by the end of the day
I knw cos my house is opposite the collection centre nd I had to troll 4 days b4 I got mine
Na lie, you know sabi jor !
There is no need for laptop use and "catching faces on camera" to collect your PVC.
The whole of rivers state, one PVC collection centre ?? talk another lie
I collected mine from my LGA, even though i had lost my TVC. I proofed my identity, and an attestation form was only filled by the INEC officer, and i simply thumbprinted.
Remarkable: Have you lived outside Nigeria for a while in this 21st century? I ask because, I was about believeing the story as I heard the audio clip, but now reading this response ... I no longer believe... there indeed are ways to reproduce someones voice, a girl that was bitter he bf dumped her, used technology to reproduce his voice and implicated him in a lot of crimes (breaking restraining orders etc) and got him arrested... so it is very very very possible.... and another reason to doubt the clip... why now? since this happened, what took so long? esp. since Tinubu was informed after the Ekiti election took place?
Keep your itchy fingers locked and stop typing bullshitt.., any sane person knows the truth that the clip is real. If you are sane, then you know the truth.
One of the dramatis personae who leaked the clip is at large. BTw, where did you read that tinubu was informed of the clip just after the election took place. Please, dont be remarkably stupiid
Raiders: So you expect INEC to come to your house and give you your PVC ? I register in PH when I was still in Uniport but I had to travel from my state to PH to get my PVC. If you are really serious about voting then go back to Enugu to get your PVC.
I am certain that majority of the uncollected cards are those who will not make legitimate efforts to vote., of the 20 million yet to be claimed Pvc, i wont be surprised if only less than 2 million have made sensible efforts to collect their cards and failed.
J12: Jega thinks this election is child's play. I doubt if this man is mentally sound, he doesn't understand that this year's elections are pivotal to our democratic and social progress.
His PVC distribution and collection plan is useless and stupid. I went to INEC office in Area 10 to collect my PVC this morning only to be told I can't collect it because I registered in Enugu. I can't imagine how many nigerians are like me, who registered in a different state in 2010/2011 and left their area of registration permanently thereafter but can't vote in the upcoming elections because Jega can't use his brains properly even though he is a professor.
Jega must go after 2015.
See you !, you registered in a state and wanted to collect PVC in another state to vote, and you claim to be enlightened ?
INEC directed those who have changed location of last registration , and intend to vote in their new location to apply for such within a certain window, did you apply? Ignorance is not an excuse.
sammhi: you need to go to school...lekki -ikoyi bridge is even a rip off at 29b..because it is on a march ground comparable to any bridge say the opebi link bridge from Sheraton or the bridge etc.. Nothing fantastic the second Niger bridge is over a river ...river Niger... the ikoyi bridge is over a land ..ode..please go to school
Ikoyi bridge over a land You dey for Aba dey discuss Lagos mata , God is watching you in 3D.
The pix are attached , may be you can visit for a tour.
chidinwachukwu: That's typical APC follow follow,even in my dreams I know you people are crooks,why didn't the present it in the tribunal?.APC Furging things Since 1200 B.C.
Carry your mumu go front, if you had a strain of common sense, you can infer the audio clip leaked after the tribunal process. The last has not been heard about the case anyways, Fayose is on borrowed times.
Osun state PVC collection rate for Aug. 2014 governorship collection =68% , yet election was conducted
Ekiti state PVC collection rate for june 2014 governorship collection =65% , yet election was conducted.
Over 70% collection rate already, No to election postponement. Military men to be deployed to the 3 states with high potency for insurgent violence, election must hold in all the 36 states, excluding lgas in the hands of BH.
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has given credit to the late President Umar Musa Yar’Adua over the successful construction of the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge, who he said gave express approval for two federal properties that were within the Right of Way (RoW) to be ceded to Lagos
He claimed to have lived in Lagos for 38 years , yet cant speak yoruba the native language of the soil , obviously, he has refused to assimilate with the land, he still has a biafran mentality, he wants to govern Lagos with biafran ideology. My biggest grouse with typical ibos in Lagos is they dont assimilate with the Language of the land, yet start asking for leadership positions in the land
tit: jega cannot give voters card to nigerians, how can he make sure our ballots count?
jega the clueless fool should go!
keep shut, jega's duty is not to deliver voters card to peoples home, the owner must step forward to claim it, the failure of the owner of PVCs to collect the card is not JEGAs fault.
Any one who doesn't collect his pvc by the 9th of this month chose to be disenfranchised, the PVCs are available, but they refuse to collect, whose fault?. The old shameless failed generations should go and rot in hell.
