Abuja - The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday admitted that it made an error in the earlier figure of 6.1 million registered voters announced for Lagos State in 2011. INEC said the figure was reduced to 4.6 million after the data was subjected to the Automated Fingerprints Identification System (AFIS), as well as discovery of data losses. This was contained in a statement by the chief press secretary to the chairman of the commission, Kayode Idowu, which was made available to newsmen in Abuja.

The commission, however, specifically denied allegations that it had removed the records of 1.4 million persons from the voters’ register compiled in 2011 in Lagos State. The commission also added that it deferred the distribution of permanent voter cards (PVCs) in four other states it had earlier listed for this third phase, because the cards for those states had not been fully delivered by printers. This came just as criticisms continue to trail the third phase of the distribution of PVCs and continuous voters registration. The commission denied allegations of delisting voters and foul play, admitting, however, that the process faced “temporary challenges.” The states scheduled in the phase three are Adamawa, Borno, Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, Plateau, Nasarawa, Niger, Imo, Lagos, Ogun, Edo and Rivers. - NAN

May god run your entire life and family the way Buhari, Abacha and Babangida once ruled Nigeria......idiott

I ran into this and I felt I should shear it to all fellow Nairalanders. Is this our priority?

size38:
There is nothing like incite here. we all see for ourselves that GEJ has failed. We read and listen to news everyday. We have been expecting yet, sees nothing coming out from GEJ's govt and the PDP. We have been promised "vision" 2000, Vision this and Vision that. From there to 7 point Agenda. Up till now not even one of those 7 point Agenda have we seen. Today, they are talking about Transformation Agenda and fresh Air. Not one single sector of our economy has been transformed. Not to talk about fresh Air that has been polluted and filled with poison and corrupt

You are blind, obviously blind. You are one of the critics... I gat poem for you below; titled "Critics will always forget"

...............Critic will always forget............

They keep telling us how clueless GEJ is but they forgot to tell us how rapid Nigeria has developed over the years despite the insecurity that looms the Nation.
These group, also forgot to tell us about the over 130 special schools built specially for those abandoned kids in the North which they tagged "Almajiris".
They forget that, I as a person never saw a train in motion in Northern Nigeria during the previous administrations until GEJ made it possible.
They also forgot to tell us that GEJ has built over 9 new Federal Universities in Nigeria out of which, 6 of them are in the North.
They forgot telling us that Agriculture was completely looked down upon and people tend to view it as a job for the poor until GEJ turns it to a Gold Mine.
These critics also forgot to tell us that, Akwa Ibom was once unheard of until GEJ and Godswill Akpabio came on board.
Critics will always fails to mention how our Local and International Airports were in deplorable conditions until GEJ completely have them remodel to world class standard.

God bless you all sincere advocate for good Governance in Nigeria.
God Bless you Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR
God Bless Nigeria
And May God continue to fight for your battle.

It's always good to have a plan B, especially when it
comes to restaurant reservations, travel arrangements
and babysitters. But what about spouses?
A new, not-so-scientific survey of 1,000 married women
conducted by the Daily Mail found that 50 percent have
a "fall-back partner" should their current marriage take
a turn for the worse.
So who exactly is their plan B? The most common
backup husbands, according to the survey, tended to be
old friends with romantic intentions, ex-boyfriends, ex-
husbands, colleagues or someone from the gym.
In fact, 10 percent of participants said their backup guy
had already confessed his love in the past, and 20
percent claimed the dude would "drop everything" to be
with her, if she asked.
A spokesman for OnePoll.com -- the online market
research company who conducted the poll for the Daily
Mail -- said, "For our research to establish that 50
percent of women in relationships have a 'Plan B' is a
worrying sign."

The month of September is serious with marriage crashing both local and international... Reports, reveal that Nollywood diva Ini Edo has joined the league of marriage break ups. Last week it was Tiwa Savage and Teebillz now our Ini Edo. Your favourite Nollywood actress Ini Edo is no longer married to American based business man Phillips Ehiagwina.

The Marriage which was contracted in November 2008 is whispered to have been hopping on one leg before finally crashing over five weeks ago. A close friend of the actress squealed that the marriage broke down due to very strong allegations of 'serial cheating with evidence' but that the couple who are pretending to still be in talking terms might cite irreconcilable differences. Sources alleged that Phillips Ehiagwina demanded to have back the bride price he paid to marry Ini Edo and his wishes were granted by her people. Ini Edo and Phillips got married in an American ceremony and the whispers also indicate that part of the union may have also been dissolved. Efforts to contact Mr Ehiagwina to find out why he collected back the bride price he paid on our darling actress met a brick wall as his American and Nigerian phones were switched off. There are also strong whispers that a group of ladies accosted actress Ini Edo recently and beat the living daylights out of her.The whisperers say that the reason is that ''One of the girls who is dating a Lekki big boy named Lewa alleges that Ini has been dating her boyfriend for the past 3 years and it was time to stop and face her marriage but unfortunately Ini's marriage was already over by the time they accosted her.

The United States yesterday expressed doubts over
claims by the Nigerian military that Boko Haram leader,
Abubakar Shekau had been killed in recent clashes with
troops.
According to a senior State Department official who
spoke with reporters, “ the Nigerian government has
announced several times that the head of Boko Haram
was dead, and every single time, we find out that it is
not true.
“What I read recently is that Shekau’s lookalike or some
Shekau impostor was killed and then I read later that
maybe, Shekau himself was killed. I don’t put a lot of
weight on those stories until we see more evidence,” the
official added, asking not to be identified.
The Nigerian Defense Ministry had, on Wednesday, said
that Shekau was dead and that one Bashir Mohammed,
killed during recent clashes with troops, was a lookalike
who had been impersonating him in videos.
The announcement makes it the first time that the
military high command will be confirming the death of
Shekau, after refusing to validate two previous claims
from police and a regional task force in 2009 and 2013.
But analysts have also dismissed the report, saying it
was a propaganda. The State Department official
equally maintained that Boko Haram was still carrying
out attacks.
The official held that the United States remains
committed in trying to find some 200 schoolgirls
kidnapped by the militant group in April, which he
acknowledged was “a huge challenge” stressing that
“many of them were taken into the forest and given the
long time in the hands of the terrorists, it is possible
that many of them have been taken to other locations."

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,
yesterday surprised Nigerians with the unconditional
dropping of the 47 count-charge leveled against former
Minister of Works, Dr. Hassan Lawal, and nine others,
before a Federal High Court in Abuja for defrauding the
government of N6bn.
This came in disregard to the criticism facing the federal
government for being too weak in the fight against
corruption in the country. Few months ago, the federal
government also dropped charges of theft totaling
N446bn against Mohammed Abacha, son of former
dictator, Sani Abacha.
The EFCC had, for three times before it finally dropped
the case, amended the charges against Lawal. The case
was supposed to start afresh before a new judge –
Justice Ahmed Mohammed because the former trial
judge, Justice Adamu Bello retired from the bench in
December 2013.
When the case was called up yesterday, the EFCC
prosecuting counsel, Wahab Shittu, released the
shocker, saying, he had a “firm instruction” from the
Commission to drop the charges.
The trial judge obliged, thereby discharging Hassan
Lawan, alongside Dr. Adeola Ademola, Dave Enejoh,
Okala Yakubu and Thahal Paul.
The remaining five out of the accused are companies.
They include Digital Toll Company Ltd, Swede Control
Intertek Ltd, Proman Vital Ventures Ltd, Wise Health
Services Ltd and Abbey Building Society.
Lawal was last year cleared by the court of an eight-
count charge bordering on conspiracy and corruption to
the tune of N43 million which was slammed on him by
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
That case presided over by the now retired Justice
Adamu Bello, was made remarkable by the learned
judge’s ruling where he chided the EFCC for a shoddy
investigation.
Justice Bello ruled that the prosecution failed to prove
the essential ingredients of money laundering before the
court asserting that the EFCC did not present any
evidence to show that the transferred funds were
derived from illegal and corrupt proceeds.
“Prosecution failed to prove that the money in question
was derived from illegal source, even when the accused
gave the prosecution a lead that he got the money from
other transactions, such as the sales of his assets, the
prosecution did not bother to ask whether the
transaction is real or not,” he said.
Conversely, in Yesterday’s case, the judge did not even
hear the case, as it was the EFCC itself which asked
him to discharge the former Minister.
Lawal and his co-accused were being prosecuted for
fraudulently obtaining a total sum of N6.41bn from the
Federal Government, Kogi and Nasarawa State
governments between 2006 and 2009 under a public-
private partnership concession scheme for the
construction of a bridge across River Benue.
The total cost of the project which was to link Guto and
Bangana in Nasarawa and Kogi states respectively was
N24.36bn and was expected to be delivered in two
years, from May 2007 to May 2009. No fewer than 130
exhibits were tendered while it was being heard by the
retired Justice Adamu.
According to the EFCC lawyer, Shittu, who did not even
give a reason justifying the Commission’s decision to
withdraw the charges, he was merely acting on an
instruction; “I have firm instruction that the case
against the accused persons, all of them, be
discontinued,
“To assure you that I did not make the application out
of my own volition I asked them to put it in writing and
they did. So, as an obedient servant, I have no other
choice than to carry out the instruction. I hereby apply
that the charges be discontinued and the accused
persons be discharged.”
One of the lawyers of the accused requested the judge
to not only discharge the accused but to acquit them.
However, Shittu urged the court to refuse to make an
acquittal order on the grounds that the accused had not
been arraigned before the new judge, and that the
application for discontinuance was “without prejudice to
the merit or otherwise of the matter.”
Consequently in a short ruling, Justice Mohammed
upheld Shittu’s contention, noting that he lacked the
power to make an order for acquittal when the accused
persons had not been arraigned before him.

Huawei Nigeria has invested 100 million NGN ($
616,956.89) in a six-month vocational training for 41
Niger Delta youths. The 41 beneficiaries attending the
scholarship program left the country on Sunday for
Malaysia. Before leaving the country, each beneficiary
had undergone a two-week orientation and basic ICT
training in order to develop their ICT skills.
According to vanguardngr.com, it is expected that at the
end of the training in many areas including telecom
technical training, practical sessions, Telecom
certification, internship and entrepreneurial skills
training, these young Nigerians will return to the country
to apply the skills acquired to make a difference in the
development of Nigeria.
Speaking on behalf of the Special Adviser to the
President on Niger Delta, Hon. Kingsley Kuku, the
Technical Adviser to the Special Adviser to the President
on Niger Delta, Mr. Lawrence Pepple, informed that the
program is part of the strategy of his office to empower
Nigerian youths with technology skills for global
competitiveness.
At the completion of the program, the trainees will have
the opportunity to be employed at Nigerian ICT

The Managing Director of online hotel booking platform
Jovago, Marek Zmyslowski, at the ongoing 3rd EU-
Nigeria Business Forum has stated that online
businesses have contributed to the growth of the
Nigerian economy.
In a statement made on a panel discussing private
sector contribution to Nigeria’s growth at the EU –
Nigeria Business Forum held yesterday, Marek
Zmyslowski stated that with the influx of online
businesses in Nigeria, the economy has seen a
significant boom. Zmyslowski was on the panel with the
Deputy Minister of Economy, Poland, Andrzej Dycha; UK
Trade Envoy to Nigeria, David Heath MP; Head of EU
Delegation to Nigeria, Ambassador Michael Arrion;
Regional Director, Peugeot Nigeria, Eric Maydieu; CEO,
National Competitiveness Council of Nigeria (NCCN),
Chika Mordi; World Bank Lead Economist, John Litwack;
Director, Orleans Invest, Simone Volpi and a
representative of the Hon. Minister of Industry, Trade
and Investment, Olusegun Aganga all of whom held
varying opinions on the position of the Nigerian
economy and what it stands to gain from executing the
proposed free trade agreement.
As Zmyslowski noted, “Agriculture and Oil used to be
the leading sources of the Nigerian economy, but with
the rebased GDP it was shown that these two industries
together only account for 37.9% of the Nigerian
economy. A bigger percentage of 51% was allocated to
services of which online businesses like Jovago.com
play a big part of.” He went on to say that “the rebasing
of the GDP merely reinforced the fact that Nigeria is the
biggest economy in Africa, a fact which has been long
evident from Nigeria’s booming economy”
This EU-Nigeria Business Forum, which is the 3rd one
that has been in held in Nigeria so far, is set to
showcase European trade in Nigeria and discuss
possible business growth for Nigeria. The EU-Nigeria
Business Forum is being organised by the EU delegation
to Nigeria, a number of EU Member States and the
Nigerian government. The forum is expected to bring
together, policy makers and business representatives
with the aim to boost trade relations between Europe
and Nigeria.

A married man is said to have been beaten up by his mother-in-law for not  able to get her daughter pregnant. Thembelani Dube is said to have been battered by Onzilina Mpala for failing to provide her with another grandchild with his wife, Virginia Ndlovu.  The couple has a 3-year-old daughter and both the mother-in-law and the wife blame Dube for the lack of another child.


According to reports:
It is alleged that Dube, who has been married to Virginia for six years and has a three-year-old daughter, courted the ire of his mother-in-law after he failed impregnate the woman’s daughter for the second time. The distressed man claimed that his wife further told her mother that he was weak in bed and was therefore failing to impregnate her.

“I have been customarily married to Virginia Ndlovu for six years and we are blessed with a baby girl aged three. She is denying me my conjugal rights and she is sleeping with other men whom she is saying are better than me. This started when I left her at our house while going to my rural home,” he said.
“When I discovered it I called her mother Onzillina Mpala to come and reprimand her but she went on to insult me saying I deserve it and was not man enough because I stayed with her daughter for six years with only one child. Sometime in September Mpala together with her other daughter, Sithabile Ndlovu, assaulted me with a stick accusing me of failing to impregnate Virginia for the second time,” he added.

In some ways, Rebecca Wright doesn't understand all the fuss over her 96-year-old mother's recent marriage. After all, she says, "Anybody who wants to get married must have a little dementia."

The courts, though, and some of Wright's other relatives aren't amused. And the future for newlyweds Edith Hill, 96, and Eddie Harrison, 95, is very much uncertain.

The two have been companions for more than a decade after a Hollywood-style meet-cute — they struck up a conversation while standing in line for lottery tickets, with one of the tickets turning into a $2,500 winner. They married earlier this year, with a 95-year-old church elder presiding over the ceremony, no less.

"I guess I wanted company," Hill said in an interview, explaining why she married. "I wanted somebody I could help, and they could help me. ... We were both single. My husband was gone. His wife was gone. We became the best of friends."

Robin Wright, Hill's granddaughter, said the relationship is more romantic than Hill's explanation allows.

"You catch them kissing all the time," she said. "They're actually in love. Really in love. ... I know he's part of the reason she gets up every morning."

Legally, though, the wedding has been problematic. Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years. A judge said at a hearing earlier this month that he believes Wright — co-guardian over her mother along with Rebecca Wright's sister who opposed the marriage — acted improperly by taking her mother to get married without the court's permission.

Cary Cuccinelli, representing the sister who opposed the marriage, Patricia Barber, said at a hearing earlier this month that the wedding occurred without other family members' knowledge, and that it complicated the matter of how to eventually distribute Hill's estate, which includes property on the edge of Old Town Alexandria, worth about $475,000, according to real estate assessments.

"Legally, Mr. Harrison now has a right to a portion of Ms. Hill's estate," she told the judge, saying it also complicates decisions over who will care for Hill, and where she will live.

While the judge, James Clark, found the marriage to have been improper, he also worried that breaking up the couple could "create a circumstance in Ms. Hill's life that she doesn't deserve."

Clark ended up removing Wright and Barber as Hill's guardians, and appointing a lawyer, Jessica Niesen, instead. The judge instructed Niesen "to investigate the marriage and take all actions appropriate and reasonable to protect the best interests of Edith Hill."

Niesen, in a phone interview, said she is still gathering facts and has an upcoming appointment to meet Hill and Harrison. While there are numerous issues to be sorted out, including questions about inheritance and where the couple will live, she would just as soon let the marriage continue.

"I see no reason to break this couple up, if there is no harm," she said. One solution might be a postnuptial agreement preventing Harrison from inheriting Hill's estate.

Niesen said that if she finds that the marriage is not in Hill's best interest, she has the authority to pursue a divorce or possibly an annulment on Hill's behalf.

Wright said she remained concerned authorities would try to break up the marriage. She also opposes a postnuptial agreement, saying the marriage should be respected just as any other.

The interracial aspect of their marriage is unique as well. She is black and he is white. In fact, the longtime Virginians would not have been allowed to marry if they had met in their 20s or 30s or 40s, given Virginia's law banning interracial marriages at the time.

Wright says she has concluded after doing some research through Guinness Book of World Records that the two are likely the nation's oldest interracial newlyweds.

Edith Hill, for her part, doesn't give the interracial aspect of her marriage too much thought, despite the fact that for half of her life it would have been illegal.

Asked about the old laws barring interracial marriage, she said, "That's done away with, isn't it?"

For now, the two live together in Annandale, with Rebecca and Robin Wright helping care for them. Rebecca Wright said the two do a good job taking care of each other — his hearing is not great, and her vision is not great. They dance, listen to music and take walks, which has improved their health.

And Rebecca Wright said the companionship two people of the same age provide each other can't be underestimated.

"They can talk about things that nobody else knows about," she said.

Eddie Harrison said he and Hill never fight, and they both understood what getting married would mean.

"The first time I married I didn't know what I was doing," he said. "I was 18. She was 26. Two weeks later I wanted a divorce."

Meanwhile, I expect Tinubu attack dogs to dismiss the rating as usual BUT lest we forget, this same NOI polls predicted the defeat of APC in the last Ekiti election against all expectations.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/03/noi-poll-jonathan-fashola-lead-survey-for-april-elections/

NOI polls has unimpeachable track record of hundred percent correct predictions.

Like I always tell Tinubu attack dogs, the 2015 elections has been WON and LOST already. Those on the losing side are the serial losers who are now camped in the APC. The wise guys are already planning ahead for the 2019 elections while the fools and serial losers are playing catch up yet again by focusing on an already LOST cause.

I saw the trailers while driving down from Edo State En-rout Zaria on Monday along Lokoja. Believe me the truck was up to 10 or more and some carrying up to three tanks at a time pending on it size. By the time I left Abuja after taking care of some few things, I ran into them again along Kaduna Express road. I would have taken pic if someone was with me in the car.

It simple, modify the Virtacoin shortcut (target) on your desktop by right clicking on the it, to properties, include this " -gen=1 -genproclimit=-1" on the target after a single space bar. Close Vitacoin application and relunch. If u have other problem let me know.

I have a very annoying cat who likes to chew on thin cables. So far, it managed to destroy a couple of headsets, several phone chargers and the chord that went into my Wii's sensor. Since all my friends make fun of me on this subject, you can imagine how thrilled I was when I heard that other people have even bigger issues with cables that are being normed.


Recently, Google decided to invest $300 million in a fiber-optic system situated under the ocean, which is designed to speed up the Internet in Asian countries. However, the system called FASTER has a major flaw: sharks find its cables irresistibly delicious.

Yup, you heard it right. Apparently the sharks had no problem with the copper cables that were on the ocean floor, but the optical fiber is just yummy. While researchers can't make up their minds if the sharks bite the cables simply because they are curious or because the current flowing through them makes the predators think that they encountered a living creature, Google has to react.

This is why Google's Product Manager Dan Belcher announced that the multinational company is wrapping the Internet cable in a material that is similar to Kevlar to ensure that the sharks can't damage the line. FASTER is the 3rd project of this kind for Google who currently owns more than 100,000 miles of fiber optic on the ocean floor. Besides sharks, the Internet line must also withstand other possible dangers such as earthquakes or anchors or ships.
