Have you not being following or You dont read News ... the loophole in the electoral law is electronic transmission is not mandatory, Inec can use it or decline to it

The electoral law stands with manual transfer ... which is favourable for rigging and re writing That why Nigerians are clamouring we dont want that anymore

We want E - transmission that is the logical thing we are in a Tech world

Explain how manual transfer is favorable for rigging and e-transmission is not. The same ec8 or what is what is transmitted whether manual or electronic. You obviously don't understand the realities of rigging. You guys just shout rigging when you lose elections.

donself9:
Is it only Amaechi that is losing, Was Amaechi in the ballot paper last time 2023 ...

Most you in Tinubu camp dont just have $ense no matter how myopic, the reasoning is just Myopic .. You are in power today n enjoying loopholes

No one rules forever, if Amaechi had use there time well will he be on the road today protesting ... E go soon reach Tinubu side too .. they think they will rule forever make we dey watch

What's the loophole oga?

It is much expected. When you know you are losing, you scatter everything or ask to start the game again. This is basic primary school tactics.

Let NA approve mandatory transmission now, it's still the same losers that will cry for years that their votes were not counted because it wasn't mandatorily transmitted.

classicfrank4u:
What happened to all the billions allocated to INEC?

They should be used to buy starlinks, right? Do you understand what budget is?

Omalicious1:
Yes, he must take the blame because the legislators make the law. If INEC is really independent then they should be allowed to make their law. [/b]

The Senate did not ban electronic transmission of results. They did not say elections must be rigged. They did not wake up one morning and decide to “destroy democracy.” What they did was refuse to pass a rigid, one size fits all provision that mandates real time electronic transmission from every polling unit in a country as complex as Nigeria.

And that matters.

Nigeria is not just Abuja, Lagos, or Portharcourt with strong network coverage. We have riverine communities, border villages, forests, hills, places where even making a phone call is an adventure. To pretend those realities do not exist is not progressive. It is performative.

The Senate’s position, whether people like it or not, is rooted in practical governance. They want INEC to deploy technology where it works, improve infrastructure, strengthen backups, and avoid a situation where elections are automatically invalidated because of network failure rather than the will of voters.

That is not anti democracy. That is caution.

What worries me, to be honest, is how quickly we now equate disagreement with bad faith. If you question the method, you are suddenly an enemy of the people. If you ask about logistics, security, hacking risks, or rural inclusion, you are accused of planning to rig 2027. That kind of thinking is dangerous.

Law making is not activism. It requires patience, foresight, and an understanding that laws must work for the entire country, not just the loudest voices online or at the gates of the National Assembly.

Yes, technology should be part of our elections. Absolutely. But forcing a fragile system into law without fixing the underlying problems is how you create chaos, endless litigations, and disputed outcomes.

Sometimes leadership is not about yielding to pressure. It is about taking decisions that are unpopular today but stable tomorrow.

We can demand better elections without burning down the institutions meant to deliver them.

Democracy is not weakened by debate. It is weakened when we stop thinking.

BluntCrazeMan:
Bye.

And have a great day.

I hate repeating myself.
I already answered you multiple times

Nope, you never did. You've only been repeating the same thing for those who don't want to think.

Never make a foolish vow, even the holy book says this.

We heard this yesterday na. Make una contribute buy star links for corpers for non negotiable transmission. Corper allowee no fit run am.

Jagaban on the mandate. Don't play
40% increase in the Consolidated Academic Allowance. UNPRECEDENTED.
If e easy, run am.

dometome:
I do not live in Lagos. You know you are talking crap

Lolz, you conveniently left the two questions.

dometome:
there are banks in hose places, Boko haram does tiktok live in those places

Where are those places? People just sit in Lagos and type. Have you traveled Nigeria before?

manuelkel:
I ask you question you dey talk another thing.

Because your question is pointless to us. Should there be power failure, joblessness, insecurity or even disasters?

Na wa oh. Drama no dey finish? Does anyone need to go to court to know this? Just burning money.

MIKOLOWISKA:
which wan is rice gala malt and amala?

To cool down stress, not to sway votes.

BluntCrazeMan:
I'm done explaining.
Thanks

Lolz, you don't have the answers. Keep misleading those who don't want to think.

We don't want such kind of people to corrupt our people here please. Which one is boiled eggs?

dometome:
are you saying that prompt transmission of electoral result is a bad thing, it's not worthy of campaigning for

Explain how you can have prompt transmission of electoral results in over 176,000 polling units across Nigeria. What happens when it's impossible in some areas? What is the cost of making sure it's possible all over Nigeria. Who bears the cost? INEC? Akpabio?

BluntCrazeMan:
If you look inside a basin filled with water, whatever you say you saw inside the basin is up to you.

What I wrote was very clear.
I finished reading what you responded, and I had to read what I wrote up there again.

Then I started asking whether you saw some other posts or comments elsewhere, and tried to interpolate them with what I wrote here.

You claimed there were no serious cybersecurity concerns. 12 million cyber attacks is not a serious cybersecurity concern? You also claimed INEC was paid. Paid what, by whom and for what?

It's wrong and mischievous from those who offered it to him. Thought they did it jokingly sha.

BluntCrazeMan:
I am not going to explain myself any further than what I typed up there.


You understood what I typed.
Stop twisting your brain unnecessarily.

Keep lying to yourself and those who can't see through the sham then.

seunmsg:
For this one mind now, he will be president once there is electronic transmission of result. Abeg make i laugh small

No, he had no choice. The mob summoned him. He weighed his options. He knows no one cares very much about the jamboree, plus it gives him 50 brownie points with the mob. It's a win win.

This remote controlled fellow is late again

BluntCrazeMan:
It was all paid for.,, so they have to deliver in full.

You're actually demarketing INEC so much for rating them so low.

I am trusting INEC so much here when it comes to cyber-security,, and you're here painting me in negative colours because of it.??

What is paid for? You trust INEC but you're complaining about glitch. How much is the money paid for cybersecurity, na you pay?
You're like someone saying you paid your maiguard his full 5k salary so he should kill himself or allow himself be killed than allow thieves with bazookas rob your 5billion.

BluntCrazeMan:
Cyber-security was never the main issue around the IREV-Portal since it came into use in 2021..

Thanks.

Lolz 12.9million cyber attacks is not an issue, right? Because INEC was smarter.

SmartPolician:
Who are the useless network operators? Do you know the kind of technology Elon Musk brought to Nigeria? Do you see him mounting masts all over the place? Elon Musk's Starlink is using satellites to drive internet access around the world. The government should partner with Musk to transmit the results in areas where there is no internet access.

Lolz, are you a comedian? Have you ever seen a star link kit? Who'll pay for that and with what money? Who'll hand over more than 650k equipment to non staff in over 176,000 locations all over Nigeria. You guys just talk without much thought.

BluntCrazeMan:
Agree with me that the so-called cyber-attacks was not the cause of the GLITCH.!!

The GLITCH was caused by the errors and omissions of the ICT personnel (for not creating the adequate algorithms)..

So, why bringing the news of cyber-attacks here??

There will always be cyber-attacks.
And it will always be defeated conveniently.!!

The adequate cyber-security measures were being paid adequately for..
So, why should I bother again about it?

You just said "We never heard of any serious cyber-security concerns around the IREV."
So i brought to your attention the news of over 12.9million cyber attacks. And you dismiss it with adequate measures paid for. Are you INEC's chief security officer?

BluntCrazeMan:
IREV had been working since 2021.
We never heard of any serious cyber-security concerns around the IREV.

WHY SHOULD WE COME NOW -- SIX YEARS LATER -- AND START TO BOTHER ABOUT IT.?



.
You said 2019. (Or do you mean 2020.??)

Why didn't such a story repeat itself again in their 2024 election.??



SEVEN GADDAMMMNNED YEARS AGO.!!!!




And after the cold war, the two countries resorted to manual methods of election.?? Or they beefed-up their cyber-security.??

ARE YOU IN ANY WAY DEMARKETING NIGERIA BY SAYING THAT NIGERIA DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY CYBER-SECURITY IN PLACE.??




MY ANSWER IS A VERY LOUD “YESS”...





You just cited the challenges other countries had, yet these countries never went ANALOG. They continued with Electronic Transmission..
Yet, you used their experiences as an excuse to go ANALOG.??

Go and examine your thinking oga.

You're not supposed to be a fool.
Please don't be one now.

https://www.pulse.ng/story/fg-says-over-129-million-cyber-attacks-were-recorded-during-last-elections-2024072608450539311?

Now, you heard.

The cries of drowning man clutching at straws. What people don't realize is that even if it's Obi and Atiku counting the votes and uploading, they will still lose woefully. They probably know sha, hence why they are crying hopelessly over this.

Samirana360:
Gov MBA will continue to press the next of the people with taxes to achieve yhis

There's a set tax rate by law. No one is increasing taxes or pressing necks. Be educated.

That's progress. The kind of news we want to hear from the SE.

7arrows:
I don't know why they are so scared. I thought tinubu bought the entire nation with his good governance. Make una dey deceive self. Stupid mandate.

Being scared is different from being real. You can't continuously do the same thing and expect different results.
What happened with BVAS the last elections is what you are clamoring for in multiple folds by asking for MANDATORY transmission. That's aside cybersecurity threat issues.

Omalicious1:
...and as a typical Nigerian politician, he shifts the blame to INEC and insecurity...OK, so INEC over to you. What amazes me is that those 9 states have governors, Senators, and House of Rep members...wtf are they doing about the network?

Is he supposed to take the blame? Is INEC not supposed to be independent? Is he to transfer money to INEC to get internet in all over 176000 polling units for mandatory transmission?
