There's a good reason the Nigerian Army is not winning the war on terror and it's got nothing to do with sophisticated weapons and all the other craps the govt feeds the public. The Nigerian Army has lost the goodwill of the people. From the North down to the southeast. The Nigerian people are not proud of the Nigerian Army and for good reasons.

The voices in the video gives a clue as to why the Nigerian Army can NEVER win the terror battle. As typical with their sister "Useless" organization the Nigerian Police Force, when they arrive a crime scene, their usual MO is to arrest everyone in the vicinity. For what I can not really understand, the Nigerian Army has taken this opaque operational procedure to a higher level of uselessness by burning buildings and killing almost everyone they meet within a two mile radius of a crime scene. How them do you gather intelligence?. How has raiding everyone found around a crime scene ever solved a crime in Nigeria?. The whole Nigerian armed forces does not have the technological wherewithal to solve a crime and then the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police chose to live outside the realities of their environment, alienating themselves from the general public. Tomorrow you expect them to magically solve a crime. A little hint, since the history of the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police, how many organized crimes have they solved?. This is because solving organized crimes requires mere numbers of the force. Technology and intelligence plays a greater role.

They dehumanize civilians and are neck deep in bribery and corruption. When you add the near zero technology in the operations of the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police then you realize it's God that's been keeping us all. The army and police can't even guarantee the safety of thier barracks and stations

Marry you? .. you that supports APC and Buhari. How do you prove that you're normal.?.. I mean how do you assure her you won't wake up in the middle of the night and bite her?. Just show us something that proves that you're sane.

A BBC investigation has found evidence suggesting some results from Nigeria's presidential election may have been manipulated.

The winner Bola Tinubu is due to be inaugurated on 29 May but the opposition is challenging this.

The BBC has uncovered significant anomalies in Rivers state, a key battleground, although not sufficient to change the overall national outcome of the election, which took place in February.

There are also questions over the identity of an election official who read out some of the unexplained results.

How votes are counted in Nigeria
On 25 February, Nigerians cast their votes at thousands of polling stations across the country. At each polling station, the votes for the party of each candidate were publicly announced and the results sheets taken for collation first at the ward level, then at local government (LGA) centres.

An election official from each LGA then travelled to the state capital, where these results were officially declared.

For the first time in a Nigerian election, photographs of the polling station results sheets were published online by the electoral commission.

This made it possible to add up all the polling station sheets and to compare them with the results declared at the state level.

What we found in Rivers state
We added up the voting tally sheets from over 6,000 polling stations in Rivers state, where many of the opposition complaints had been made.

While the official result in this state gave a clear majority to Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), our tally suggested that Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) had actually received most votes in the state by a wide margin.

We found an increase of just over 106,000 in Mr Tinubu's vote in the official declaration when compared with our polling station tally - almost doubling his total in the state.

In contrast, Mr Obi's vote had fallen by over 50,000.

It's important to make clear that although we searched through the election website for every single one of the 6,866 polling stations in Rivers state, we were not able to obtain results from all of them.

Some were incorrectly uploaded, others were missing, even after a month from the date of polling.

For about 5% of polling stations, the photos of tally sheets were too blurred for us to read. It's reasonable to assume that the official count would have included these as they would have had the original documents.

In another 17%, there were no results at all. Many of these would have been places where no voting took place due to security issues or the non-arrival of voting materials. Others had technical problems preventing officials uploading the documents.

So there clearly would have been more polling stations included in the final official results that weren't included in the BBC investigation.

However, these additional tally sheets would have increased the totals for each party, not decreased them. And what we found was that the votes for Peter Obi's Labour Party had decreased sharply in Rivers state.

So how can the sharp fall in votes for Peter Obi - in the official result - be explained?

Where were the biggest discrepancies?
Two areas stood out.


The first was the Oyigbo local government area, where we found:

The vote for Bola Tinubu was six times larger in the officially announced results compared with the BBC's polling station count
Peter Obi's votes had been cut in half

The second local government area where we found major discrepancies was in nearby Obio/Akpor:

The official result for Mr Tinubu was 80,239 votes, but we counted just 17,293 votes from polling station tallies
The count for Mr Obi was announced officially as just 3,829 votes, but the BBC counted 74,033 votes for him on the tally sheets

So how did these differences occur?

As explained earlier, all the polling station sheets are collated at local government (LGA) headquarters.

We found an official election document with these collated votes for the Oyigbo area, signed by an election official and some of the party agents.

Several different photographs had been taken of it and uploaded on social media accounts.

The numbers in this document closely matched our own tallies for the two leading candidates (Obi and Tinubu).

This would have been one of the 23 collation sheets from LGAs in Rivers state taken to the state capital, Port Harcourt, for the official declaration.

Broadcast live on television on 27 February, in front of a bank of microphones, Oyigbo election official, Dr Dickson Ariaga, announced his name and that he worked for the Federal College of Education in Omoku.

On the recording, the word "Omoku" is indistinct, but there is only one Federal College of Education in Rivers state.

Dr Ariaga then read out the results for each party in alphabetical order, including for all the smaller parties.

They all matched those on the collation sheet the BBC had obtained. But when he reached Mr Tinubu's APC, instead of saying 2,731 as written on our photograph of the sheet, he read out "16,630".

Then for Mr Obi's party (LP) the figure changed again - instead of the 22,289 seen on the sheet, he announced "10,784", more than halving his vote.

The mystery surrounding Dickson Ariaga

We asked the electoral commission if we could speak to Dr Ariaga, but they would not give us his details or reach out to him for us.

We spoke to the election official seated next to Dr Ariaga, but she told us she wasn't authorised to talk to the press.

So we sent a reporter to the Federal College of Education in Omoku, about two hours drive north of Port Harcourt, where he'd said he worked when introducing himself.

The Deputy Provost Moses Ekpa told the BBC: "From our records, both from our payroll and from our human resources, there is no such a name in our system and we don't know such a person."

We tried tracking him down on social media and eventually came across another Facebook account for someone in Port Harcourt, whose profile details had the name Dickson Ariaga.

When we compared an image from this account to the television pictures of Dr Ariaga using Amazon Rekognition software, we achieved a match of 97.2%, indicating a very high probability they're the same man.

Dr Ariaga did not respond to messages sent by us to this account.

By reaching out to his Facebook friends we did finally manage to speak to a man who said he was a relative, who was at first willing to help us but then didn't return our calls.

What have the authorities said?

We put these findings to Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec).

Johnson Sinikiem, Inec's regional spokesman in Port Harcourt, told us that due to a "gross shortage of time and personnel" they had needed to take on some people without verifying their identity documents.

Referring to Dr Ariaga, he said: "If he had presented himself as a lecturer from [the college in Omoku] and it's otherwise, then he is dishonest."

We also approached Inec's headquarters in Abuja for a response to our findings of discrepancies in the results in Rivers state. We were told that they were unable to comment due to ongoing legal challenges.

This is just one case in one state in southern Nigeria where the evidence points to the results having been manipulated.

On their own, these altered results would not have decisively swayed the outcome of the presidential election. Bola Tinubu won the national presidential vote by 1.8m votes over his nearest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.

We're still looking for Dr Ariaga to respond to the findings in this report.

Bunch of useless army. If you want to know how useless and a coward the Nigerian Army have become, just arm boys scouts with equal weapons as the NA and watch them run away like the cowards they are. Just imagine if IPOB fully go violent... Have you seen the crowds in IPOB peaceful demonstrations?. Imagine just 15% of such crowds are armed. The Nigerian Army only have courage Infront of unarmed civilians. What's the man power of Boko Haram?. Do you mean to tell me Boko Haram has upto 100k fighters?. How come the Nigerian Army could not deal with them??..

We no get army for Nigeria. Na civilian oppressors in army uniform we get..... Make them continue. Na like this police take start, now them get zero respect from the people.

A region where you still have people, young people who can't communicate with any other language besides Yoruba. Very very unfortunate.

The last 3 presidential elections confirmed this to Nigerians. The Southwest is almost gone. O'tilor. A people who's role models are MC Oluomo, Portable, Koko Zaria, etc. They even voted a drug baron as President.

Una get light so?. Kpele ooo.... You're a MuMu man.

You're a MuMu man!!!!. Neck pressing untop say you never eat since yesterday. You dey online since yesterday dey drop account for every giveaway post wey you see. Neck pressing untop the people wey impoverish the country in general and YOU in particular. Neck pressing untop motorcade wey you no fit dey 109ft near, else them go put you for jail. Neck pressing wey go las las sell human legs for 20k for Ogun state. Once again, You're a MuMu man!!!!

Larryndelaw:
Neck pressing

These people are really doing well to increase the IGR of their states. Imagine a state like Osun of about 4 million people, with a leg going for 20k, that's a huge supply of legs to feed the entire Southwest Ritual market.. keep it up guys.

Agbadorian spotted..... Them no dey hard to know.

Nuhskhut:
President Buhari really tried for Nigeria in making awesome decisions and passing bills that the past ones could not do.What he can be faulted for are his excess loan collections,nepotism,distabilized economy and insecurity.He really did well in terms of building infrastructures and so many Nigerians did great out to the world during his administration.We do hope that the incoming one would deliver to us where Buhari is faulty of.

Strategy that has left Nigeria without electricity, after over 60 yrs of independence. Strategy that has left the North with over 2 million out of school children?. Strategy that has left the Southwest in second place on the poverty index rankings after over 62 years of strategical alliance with the North( poverty capital of Nigeria). Strategy of thuggery and ballot box snatching. Strategy of ethnic profiling in a multiethnic country. Strategy of bigotry and religious politicisation. Strategy of looting and insane wealth accumulations.

People that speak of glowingly of the same strategy that has kept Nigeria in the doldrums of civilization and development certainly are very dull and have never stepped foot outside our shores. We deserve better. I'm Obidient because Obi represents a new and better Nigeria. Right from party politics to governance and character to capacity,the man ticks all the positive boxes.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Olodo

The DSS must trace, compile all the monikers behind the slander, cyberbullying and criminal defamations on all the social media platforms including here and arrest each of you and give each of you his or her own day in court.

All their victims must get justice.It was not politics it was fascism our democracy must never allow ever again.

Each of you must face prosecution so this kind of evil does not happen to us and our democracy again.

You were each actively recruited for fascism and DSS must do its job to find them and those behind them. Each member of this your mob or your sponsor is not a ghost and the mob is not above the law.

We are not practicing mobocracy so the DSS, NCC, police must prosecute this mob.

Mumu man. ..... Zombie, waiting for the head of your BMC to tell you a word to latch on. "Headless mob" 'fascism ". As typical of zombies, you won't bother to read up on those terms. If you listened to Adichie's interview on Arise, she did indict Wole Soyinka of using words loosely.. the difference between Obidients and Batists is that Obidients take it upon themselves to educate themselves and hold their facts right. Batists on the other hand, simply wait for a directive from the WhatsApp admin. Typical zombies.

Oya, go and kill, Zombie..... Go and die, zombie.!!!! Zombie way na one way,, ajoro Jara joro... (Ebami eda)

Do you know how many languages and tribes .. in Beune , Niger , pleatue ?
Una go come online the talk trash.. and believe uNa Dey make sense

You contradict yourself. Since there's so many ethnic nationalities in even Southern Kaduna alone, why lump them all up as Hausa/Fulani North only for political advantage that does not in anyway transcend to dividends of democracy?.

Now, what better alternative exist?

And they voted APC !!!... Well, let the dead bury the dead.

It's no longer IPOB?. Soon you'll add the Catholic church to the terror list.

Muslims and moral uprightness should not be in the same sentence. especially, Nigerian Muslims. People that steal state funds and stash them in soakaways and pit toilets?. Decades after Abacha's death, his loot are still being returned. Abubaka maina, the Auditor General, Mr SPV, even Buhari with the PTDF funds. Please, don't misjudge body covering with moral uprightness. Even at that, Nigerian Muslims are a very abysmal example of good morals. They are only upright in stealing, killing and looting.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think I must give kudos to our Muslim brothers and sisters for living by the tenets of islam. No Islamic ruling nor nation will give a nod to this madness and we wonder why they are more morally up right than we Christians? Weird acts and cultures are common amongst Christian nations yet we think we are more righteous. Sometimes I regret being a Christian

Guess you advocate for Biafra too. If you don't want to be in the same country with Obidients, I dare you to call for a referendum today. Alas, you need Igbos to vet your hate and perennial angers on. Igbos are the ones keeping Nigeria intact. Can the Yorubas and Hausas love themselves?. The only thing the two ethnic bigoted lots have in common is the hate for Igbos. The day an Igbo man occupies Aso Rock, the laws of diminishing returns sets on the Yorubas. Peacemaker my foot

Peacemaker5128:
Peter Pandora Obituary's supporters are seriously wailing
Seriously we are not supposed to be in the same country with them

God will continue to insulate us from the suffering imposed on Nigerians by the inept APC government but expose everyone else that voted Buhari, especially those that voted that bast@rd in 2019 and everyone of them that voted Tinubu in the last elections. Suffer no dey tire them. Imagine half a billion dollars for over 5,000 residential apartments!!!. Money wey them take dey tar less than 50km of road for Nigeria... How much did INEC expend on the last elections?. How much did the kleptomaniacs budget for census?. They plan to spend over 1.5billion to count about 200million people !!!. God punish Buhari, Punish Tinubu and Punish everyone that voted the APC wether in the State or general elections. Nothing good can ever come out of the PDAPC family of thieves.

Exclusive101:
Many Nigerians especially igbos supporting Peter Obi are truly daft.

People have always migrated to Lagos long before the coming of Tinubu but he sustained that n now even more people migrate to same Lagos today.

Igbos migrate to Anambra n work in Anambra civil service as well long before Peter Obi but same Peter Obi chased all non indigene from Anambra civil service n today Anambra indigene are fighting to the death to escape from Anambra daily. Just check how many refugees Ekene dilichukwu GIG Peace Agufore Ifesinachi Okeson GUO Young Shall Grow etc load from Anambra escaping to Lagos daily.

You either have to be brain dead if the criteria the lady spoke about here is use to chose the beta candidate n still go ahead to vote Peter Obi instead of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The fact speak for itself.

One Igbo idiot called from Sweden wailing about how the caller migrated to London n he is in Sweden. The idiot does not aknowledge people migrate towards more economical prosperous n stable state.

How many Nigerians, even Biafrans are moving to Anambra after Peter Obi turn it into paradise n how many Nigerians keep flocking into Lagos after the misrule by Tinubu. Use this n your medulla not skull n vote wisely.

Urchin that has never left the southwest all his life

Bayyajidda:
I was in Gwoza today, there was no single poster of Obi in hilly rural of Gwoza in sight, but an Obidient I met there told me confidently that they will pull a surprise. Obidients here and many part of the North are quite but have Obi's poster engraved in their mind. They're die hard Obidients.

You hardly see Obi posters even in Benin but everyone is Obidient and Yusful....... It is understandable because we've all come to know that the man no dey give shishi.

From 4 people tweeting in a room to he won't see 200 people for rally 4 Kaduna now it's "Yes, he will sweep the southeast and southsouth and get votes in Lagos and Christian enclaves of the North but he won't get 25% in 24 states....The traditional parties and politicians have taken the people for a ride for far too long... 2023, Lessons will be learnt.
