iamoyindamola:

Everybody knows that this racket dey happen.

But 500 naira max

Which one be 5k?

Lecturer wey write book no see 5k per copy.
Printer wey print am no see 5k per copy.

Roland17:
One of our most useless efulefu! I don’t know if there is a more self-centered politician from Igboland than this guy.

BlueRayDick:
Very shameless man.

Funny enough, he would still win reelection in 2027 because his constituents are docile and dumb.

A Two time governor is proud to say that his consistency doesn't have network.

Eiiiiiiiiiiiii

Kaczynski:
Something that have been going in uni at least for decade. This is nothing new.

The margin was big nau

5k profit per book. Even the writer sef no see that kind margin.

I sure say lecturer follow arrest am

Ellexy:
And the shameless OUK votes against it...e say network no dey him constituency.

A governor since 1999 for two tenures, and a senator thereafter, and yet, no network for him constituency

Well Well Well

Out of 177,000 polling units, only 15,000 are most likely affected.

I am not a fan of Abaribe, but I like as e put Akpabio on the spot.

"Let every senator vote individually for or against it, so we can know those who don't want it at all"

If the country is already run by a character that was nvolved in heroin trafficking, a cultist is fair game.

What is a little "Who goes you?" compared to drug trafficking?

Olowunl01:
Chief, do you guys truely believe electronic transmission of results would make any difference? Nigerians are masters at gaming the system, billions was wasted last election, last just go back to option A4 & use the money for other stuff rather than a process that would be compromised even by the gate keepers, especially when there's no consequence.

If PDP in 16yrs failed to implement an election system that is foolproof because current system favoured, they can't complain APC doing the same, these guys are all the same.

I really haven't said anything about party here. Maybe we are talking about two different things. The people who rejected the motion are Senators; PDP inclusive.

My point is that we haven't even counted the cost before we cancelled it. Why can't it work? Because Nigerians are gaming the system. But Nigerians are gaming the system, right?

Akpabio has said that 9 states are affected. 27 Senatorial districts are affected out of more than 108, yet it's a bad idea.

Meanwhile, we have a whole 11 months to figure out a way for this 27 zones, but no, let's scrap it.

I really don't know what Nigerians against this thing wants. Our senators are fighting for their rigging quota, and a common person like me dey support am.

Buju Banton, we hear you sir

raumdeuter:
Have you considered how many people lost their lives in Kenya as a result of that hacking allegations?

How many people should Nigeria sacrifice while we are trying to perfect this when we already have a system that works

https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/12/africa/kenya-elections-protests

Lol.

How many people have lost their lives since 1999 because of elections?

Akpabio has told you it is 9 states that are affected....

One year to plan for 9 states, and you are explaining since last week.

Ehn, Olorogun?

raumdeuter:
The same African country that transmit electronically and elect Paul Biya, Kagame, Quatarra etc for 20yrs plus

No be Africa this Kenya dey

The results in question was later cancelled and another fresh one was conducted in 60 days

As at 2017, Kenya has gradually started facing the challenges of transmission, and will some perfect it

In 2026, the disgraced giant of Africa doesn't even want to try, but prefer patronizing Eleganza and Bic biros to cancel.

We have a full year to look at these affected areas. One full year.

But you want to tell me it cannot work.

BlueRayDick:
I don't really understand how anybody will see the nonsense that happened in Rivers state during the presidential election and will continue to support the biro and tipex system we currently have.

It beats my imagination. It just look as if they have fear that their worst fear will eventually crystallize.

They are asking what will happen if results are hacked as if people at the polling unit will not take picture of the result sheets before they are uploaded online and then monitor what gets uploaded on the site eventually.

The fact that they don't want to see the positives of the system but continue to focus on the negatives just shows they are fine with the current system ghat has failed and continue to fail. Smh 🤦‍♂️

They obviously know what they are doing nau.

By 2027, we will still see cases of biro and cancellation. Something many African countries have long outgrown.

You say the old process no dey okay, but you no wan take eye see another option.

No be juju be that?

Amoto94:
Is the system OK? no, it is not. Is the alternative being proposed feasible and reliable? No, I doubt.
This is fuel subsidy subsidy removal kind of argument all over when something appears good on paper but factoring our peculiarities will make it lose its panacea status. Is it not in Nigeria that people will set offices on fire to sabotage system.

What is the ratio of these affected areas to the unaffected ones?

For almost every village, there is an active network provider (I stand to be corrected). Have we really sat down to check if each one can have some infrastructure only for the election process in 2027 (One year from now)?

You cannot be telling me the old process is not okay, and at the same time, cancelling another option without any chance of looking into it.

It obviously shows that we don't know what we want.

Amoto94:
Imagine a scenario during transmission of election result server got attacked and shut down like our electricity grid and upon restoration results are now different from the uploaded version. What will be the reaction?

What is the scenario currently?

People using biros to cancel numbers and rewrite
Ballot boxes and papers snatched on their way to the collation centers
Figures not adding up with registered voters

You guys make it sound like we are doing fine, and this is just a casual ask. The whole system isn't okay.

Otti claims 210m for photocopy is a typo error.

https://www.nairaland.com/8614642/alex-otti-govt-blames-typo

Dismisses 210m as a typo, then goes on to state that 12 million was allocated for the photocopier

12 million naira for photocopy machine


How these people take dey see us sef?

[quote author=BlueRayDick post=138404501]Remember when that TVC guy ( Babajide Otitoju) carry camera go refinery gate begin show us gas flaring claiming the refinery was operational because of the flare 🤡🤡🤡.

Person wey carry camera go all the way from Lagos to Warri to debunk issue that still turn out to be true and APC supporters begin call every rational person who asked logical questions enemies of Nigeria

Enemies of Nigeria said Warri Refinery has shut down. Thank God we still have real investigative Journalists like Babajide Kolade-otitoju who will not sit in the studio after Arising from Social Media to fabricate fake news......

This is the truth about Warri Refinery pic.twitter.com/JJl4uridmO

1.5 billion USD don go like that?



Tinubu, well done oh. We thank you for your efforts

BlueRayDick:
https://www.nairaland.com/8613857/nnpc-refineries-unsustainable-just-wasting

When we said the same thing about those NNPC refineries, they called us all sorts of names and saw us as negative people who don't want the refineries to work.

Now this is the NNPC GMD saying the same thing we've always known that the continued rehabilitation of the refineries is monumental waste of resources, I hope everybody's doubt has been cleared.

Obasanjo was even insulted for months because he gave his opinion about these refineries. They claimed he was jealous of Tinubu and didn't want rehabilitation of the refineries to succeed because of his hatred for Tinubu.

I can remember the countless December and June deadlines we heard concerning these refineries

KingTom:
The people denying the obvious dey always muse me, me wey dey take Christmas and New year trips to East as a boy when all my cousins from allover the world dey come back make we merry, over the years the wickedness of some misguided people have made such trips virtually impossible, parents and grandparents die and nobody dares traverse the region due to fear of the unknown, invite people for your wedding or any other occasion and they're scared. usel.eesss policies that turn back to cripple the most industrious people in Nigeria are celebrated and I just shake my head, transport companies losing, businesses and firms losing and they think they're doing FG? Hopefully things can return back to normal.

Hopefully, oh. Hopefully.

5 years of wasting Mondays...

KingTom:
From Soludo

Igbos for 31 states for Nigeria dey open shop on Monday, but dem go dey clap for the ones wey dey SE not to open.

Nothing wey person no go see.

If you wan protest, lock your own for Cambodia or Alaba. That's love

Tochex101:
Don't mind them, Soludo has demystified them........... Lazy minds.

When they presented the Igbo man with the option of sitting at home, or forfeiting his daily bread, common sense appeared on the table immediately.

Dem for continue nau. Very rubbish thing

raumdeuter:
I no know what Yoruba bought from their stall

Same way their supreme leader puts all his problem in life on Yorubas

Watch the IPOB defenders ignore this like they did when Nnamdi Kanu was always insulting Yorubas or ordering the destruction of Lagod

Let's hope he will have the nerve to apologize

IPOB cancels Sit at Home order following directive from .......................


We all know what we are doing

This BLord na very funny somebody.

You say you are selling your bike for 980k
But pre order is 700k..

It obviously shows the customer that you're ripping him off...

livelongprospa:
Just Lagos state?
The other one j posted nko?

Unlimited22 una people dey strike?

I was surprised to hear it too.

Person wey dey in good health no go understand how blessed him dey.

Unlimited22:
Called off yesterday after nearly 90 days.

90 days?

Inside this country?

Lagos state doctors have been on strike for 4 months?

This has to be the most discreet strike I have ever heard

Ellexy:
I'm not his fan but it's to say he has really done somethings to curb the insecurity that was out of hand in the state. The war against those native doctor ls and the subsequent arrest of the likes of Akwa, Ekehit etc has curbed alot of the horrible stories that was a usual daily occurrence. I'll give him credit for that.

Hopefully he also acts on this issue of cultism that is obviously another head of the insecurity monster.

Akwa and Eke Hit was just last year. Soludo is on his 5th run.

We have had insecurity before he came on board. The Unknown gunmen, etc. It was his tenure Late Dora's husband was killed and we didn't hear anything about the killers. It was his tenure that a HoR was beheaded, and nothing happened.

Compared to what the state has suffered, he has underperformed in insecurity
