is a mock election for Pete Sake so 100% success shouldn't be expected. The test was successful here in lagos but failed in kano, inec will now have to work their _asses out to identify the cause of the card reader failure in Kano so that necessary corrections can be implemented.
There shouldn't be any cause for alarm because inec still have about 20 days to make. their necessary corrections

helpee:
but which of the information given by the article do you disagree with? Why do you always attack anybody pointing out the flaws of the fraud INEC is about to conduct in the name of election. Isn't it obvious JEGA is skewing the electoral process to favour the north and thereby setting the tone for a massive post election litigation. This is not about scuttling elections....jega deserves his terminal leave abeg

Remind me how far APC fared in the three major elections conducted so far on anambra, ekiti and osun states.Not to talk of the senatorial elections in delta and Niger state's. It was only able to win the osun gubernatorial election..
So much for a vibrant party

Brilliant, Raymond Dokpesi is going too far with his affairs with politics, nothing wrong with owing a TV station and being a politician but you have to let it be neutral to an extent, the documentary has so many loopholes,those lawyers will take him to the cleaners,btw Mike Ozhekome is not that brillant, he is more of an activists than a lawyer.

Political ‘Tsunami’ Thursday hit APC as its Deputy
Gubernatorial Candidate for Abia State, Prince Fred
Eke Idika defected to PDP with over 20,000 of his
loyal supporters within and outside Abia. The
defection took place at the PDP Women’s wing
Presidential Rally in Umuahia, Abia State capital.
According to Prince Fred Eke Idika, PDP
government in Nigeria has done well generally and
the transformation agenda of Mr President
deserves continuity. Therefore, joining the PDP was
the best option for him and his teeming
supporters.
He pledged his support for Okezie Victor Ikpeazu
and other PDP candidates in Abia State, describing
the PDP gubernatorial candidate as the right man
to drive the vehicle of development from May 29,
2015.

If they like, let them hold 170 million man and woman match, the Certificateless illiterate won't smell Aso presidential villa.

PDP has abandoned tending to leprosy and concentrating on ordinary rashes.

For all we care, Tinubu is not on the ballot neither is he on the ticket. If you have evidence that he is corrupt, p lease prosecute him according to the law of the land. In fact, it will be appreciated by all well-meaning Nigerians.

Jonathan is corruption-personified, this we know.

Please can anyone tell me an alternative to DSTV(legal or illegal)? Atleast where I can be watching the football matches live. Am tired of this monopolistic rip-off

SeverusSnape:
Just look at them...These are the set of people that will kill Corp members and other innocent Nigerians if Buhari loses.

SeverusSnape:
She's right, Buhari is a fanatic misogynist.

The way I see that man, Women will suffer greatly under his regime, just like the taliban did in Afghanistan.

There is considerable gender equality under the Jonathan aadministration, Women can now hold key and sensitive positions of authority.

#Neveragain shall our women be subjected to this inhumane treatment

nzeadachie:
JUST PRAY FOR HIM TO GET WELL SOON NOT TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE CAN NEVER RULE NIGERIA

nzeadachie:
SO FOR YOUR MIND YOU THINK THAT A JIHADIST WILL RULE NIGERIA? BY THE WAY HAVE YOU PRAY FOR BUHARI TODAY?

A DECLARATION Saturday by Coach Stephen Keshi that the new deal offered to him by the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) amounts to a “slave contract,” is not going down well with
the leadership of the federation.

Keshi’s initial contract of three years ran out after the Brazil 2014 World Cup, where
Nigeria reached the last 16. He failed to qualify the Super Eagles for the recently concluded
Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea, prompting a debate on whether or not to give
him a new contract.

After a long wait, Keshi, who led Nigeria to win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South
Africa, said he had received his new contract from the NFF, but was far from being
impressed with what was on offer.

“From the clauses I have seen so far, I don’t know what words to use, but the contract can
be described as a ‘slave contract’”, he said, probably in reference to clauses which make
him answerable to several persons and committees.

Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported yesterday that Keshi had been offered a two-year
contract effective from March 1, 2015, requiring him to meet several targets or else the deal
was off.

However, the President of NFF Amaju Pinnick told The Guardian yesterday that it was
unfair for Keshi to make such comment.

“How can Keshi say the NFF gave him a ‘slave contract’? How come he is discussing details
of his contract with the media, instead of talking with the NFF? It is unprofessional. Well, he
has a choice to make,” Pinnick said.

BELOW ARE THE NEW TERMS OF CONTRACT FOR STEPHEN KESHI.

1. A TECHNICAL ADVISER CAN BE EMPLOYED IF .........

[b]"Alleged terminal leave, illegal —Falana, Ubani

In their separate reactions, rights lawyers, including Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), insisted that President Goodluck Jonathan lacked the power to either sack Jega, or send him on a terminal leave. A former chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Monday Ubani, and Mr. Malachy Ugwummadu, also spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH in separate interviews.

They cited provisions of Section 158 of the constitution as providing that the INEC Chairman could only be sacked with the approval of two-third majority of the members of the Senate.

Falana also explained that Section 155 of the constitution conferred independence on the INEC chairman with immunity from any directive or influence from any person or authority.

The senior advocate said, “At his last presidential chat, the president gave the erroneous impression that he could hire and fire the chairman of INEC. With profound respect, that is not correct.

“By virtue of Section 155 of the constitution, the INEC chairman has a renewable five-year tenure. The appointment and removal has to be by the resolution of no less than a two-third majority of the Senate.

“Before the resolution is passed, the President will need to address the Senate and justify the reasons on the need to remove the INEC chairman on account of his inability to discharge his duties.

“On the issue of sending Jega on terminal leave, the President has no power to do that because once appointed, the INEC chairman is not subject to the control or directive of any power or authority by virtue of Section 158 of the constitution.”

On his part, Ugwummadu, said beyond the constitutional provisions conferring immunity against undue influence on the INEC chairman, Nigerians were paying close attention to any plot to remove the INEC boss.

He said, “The idea of sacking Prof. Attahiru Jega has been making the rounds and should be watched carefully just as we have remained circumspect regarding the further shift of the elections.”

Ubani threatened to personally lead a “nationwide crusade” against the President should there be any attempt by his administration to remove Jega, having earlier publicly promised that he (President Jonathan) had no such intention."

Because Jonathan got away with illegality he did with Sanusi, he now thinks he can get away with this. The courts are there to settle this.

The Nigerian political space is heating up ahead of its March general elections. In a race most prominently contested by the ruling PDP and the main opposition party – APC, a local consulting firm has set out to “get a feel of who might possibly win the country’s presidential election.”

The firm, Sterling & Greenback is using an in-house tool they call Brandseeker to conduct a sentiment analysis of discussions around and about the presidential election that is ongoing over the internet.

“[We] developed a windows service that uses Twitter’s API to retrieve tweets related to the Nigerian presidential elections. The algorithm selects only tweets which were generated within the borders of Nigeria,” said S&G’s Obi Igbokwe in an email conversation with TechCabal.

According to Obi, their algorithm is able to discern sarcasm, examine retweets, and look at the whole context to determine the sentiment.

Sentiment analysis has been around for a while, but it’s also received its fair share of criticism. In 2012, USA Today partnered with Twitter analytics platform, Topsy to provide a sentiment score for the race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Marc Smith, a local sociologist notably criticized the exercise, claiming the data was “remarkably poor”. He argued that extracting meaningful information from social network is more complicated than measuring “the noise of the crowd”.

A lot of the online conversation around Nigeria’s elections is happening on Twitter. But, not all of it. BrandSeeker doesn’t analyse data from Facebook and other social networks. This is significant because of the recurring question of whether Twitter conversation is truly representative of the broad conversations on social subjects.

“Most academic papers agree that it is sufficient,” Obi says. “Twitter unlike most of the other, does not require you to ask the permission of users to mine their messages. Facebook does not even allow third parties search status updates of users because of privacy reasons.”

It was revealed in 2014 that Facebook privacy concerns or no, the company is not above using the data from users of the platform for sociological experiments. But the ethics of such activity aside, they would hardly make such information available to agencies like Obi’s.

BrandSeeker also analyses political issues and the sentiment on a state by state basis. Obi thinks this could provide veritable intelligence for party campaign teams. “The data we have have out on the site would probably make more sense to political analysts,” Obi explains, “for instance, if you were in the Buhari camp and your team was going to campaign in Ondo State, the data shows that Health is the most talked about political issue there. It would thus make more sense to focus more on how to improve health services than job creation, which is the number one issue in Anambra.”

The data available on the website http://www.kingmakers.com.ng/ at the time of this writing is interesting enough. If the algorithm is to be believed, the ruling PDP has 1.82% national penetration against the opposition APC’s 15.98%. Another interesting datapoint is that corruption is the most discussed political issue, ahead of security, jobs and economy.
