Nigeria for years has been bedevilled with the way and manner we elect our leaders through the ballot. Campaign or electioneering is not majorly our problem. Over the years, it has dawned on us that manipulation of votes during collation and counting has been our nightmare. Even the institution, INEC on whose responsibility our electoral process was bestowed has not lived up to expectations. Let us not talk about the Judiciary in the sense that should it have been that INEC lived up to its bidding, there wouldn't have been a need for Tribunals or Courts. Though our politicians, the National Assembly (Law Makers) always deliberately create loopholes to navigate and short-change the hope and mandate of the electorates.

Now, on the way forward, I advocate for:

1. Irev should be signed into law as the primary collation media.

2. Mandatory transmission of results electronically from polling units to the Irev by the polling unit officials.

3. Mandatory short and visible video coverage of the Polling unit officials and polling agents all holding written signed copies of form EC8A while the polling unit officials hold the written copy of EC60EC. This clip will not exceed a 1-minute video and will be visible to read the contents of the copies of form EC8A to be shared by all the party agents present at the polling unit and sent to the INEC backend or server.

With this high level of transparency and evidence, I wonder who will be interested in mutilating results or going to court. Confidence in our electoral process will be restored and people will be turning out en masse to vote. Meanwhile, INEC should be very sincere about their 'Technical Glitches' because I wonder how Nigerian Banks and CBN will survive if they can't update Depositors' funds in the name of experiencing 'Technical Glitches' to the extent that our account balances and all statements details can no longer be obtained.

[My humble suggestion]

Wonderful

Indomie generation won't even know what this shoe is. This shoe was the no. 1 recommended shoe for all primary schools in Nigeria then. We were all looking smart and immaculate then with our white socks to match.

Oh! Let's not forget, the shoes had a very distinct and pleasant scent as well. Cortina doesn't see a shoe makers shop cos they don't spoil.

The footwear is still much in existence. Some Secondary schools are still currently using it as a uniform in Anambra state.

Before the 2023 election, nobody believed that Mr Peter Obi would pull such massive followers.

The man without structure has become the Nightmare of APC and Batists.

It gives me joy whenever Tinubu's followers are convulsing about PO it means that PO is more than what the eyes could see. When they sleep, they see PO. When they sneeze, they see PO. Mr Peter Obi has suddenly become their Gathering Anthem.

THE FEAR OF MR PETER OBI IS THE BEGINNING OF APC AND TINUBU'S FOLLOWER'S WISDOM!

descarado:
Jesuit priests are the political cum spiritual arm of the Catholic church. You wanna see occultism, read about them. Any member who try exposing them disappears for life. They were once the power brokers of the world. Don't know about today. If one of them can become a pope,some of their traditions are changing.

The person who should have been a pope then with the highest rank was cardinal Arinze but because he is black and will never be accepted, the jesuit had to come out from hiding and took the mantle. Talk of political manipulation and racism against black.
Na the same Catholic church made Satan look black while angel look white and this analogy was used to paint bla k people as evil that angel which is white need to save.

This is the greatest mind control of the millennium and still control the world till this day.

Fear early psychologists. They have strong affirmity with the early church.

Direction:
Cardinals above 80yrs are no longer eligible to be elected Pope. As of 2013, Cardinal Arinze was more than 80yrs.

According to the Blogger, "Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election." "Peter Obi is a force to reckon with."

I agree with him. Even the updated results on Irev said it all. Series of rewritten results only bear stolen original figures of LP being allocated to APC. The question is - Why only LP is always the victim to the benefit of APC? Aside from that, every APC's and Tinubu's supporters only threw jabs at Peter Obi after the election. No one talks about Atiku or Kwankwaso. It appears as if it was only Peter Obi who contested the election against Tinubu. Logically, this attitude of APC members means a lot.

Peter Obi is a phenomenon. Sometimes in life, it is good to stand alone and test your popularity. [This is a great lesson of 2023]. In the 2019 presidential election, many (Including me) thought that the PDP's massive votes were exclusively owing to the political influence of Atiku. No one thought of Peter Obi as a factor then. But after the 2023 presidential election and all the intrigues, it dawned on Nigerians that Peter Obi is the most popular politician in Nigeria. You can argue with your keypad but I challenge any politician to ride on the platform of a relatively unknown party with no single structure (No political officeholder) to contest a presidential election and achieve a near feat of Peter Obi.

It is never a coincidence that Peter Obi has become a Political bride to every politician in today's Nigeria.

Story to the gods!

Are you saying that Nigerians can comfortably, and massively defend corrupt leaders and weaken the anti-graft institution but cannot defend their electoral mandate, rule of law, insurgency, banditry, and political bullying by INEC, Judiciary and Politicians?

I never knew that Nigerian masses are such strong, yet very few people (not up to 0.1% of the population) are tossing them around and mesmerising their future.

What a Patriot. Non-tribalistic leader.

Has any Politician received the same penalty for looting?

Nigeria's Justice system is a Mirage!

Mummyfour:
I am not a saint, I am a well brought up woman. So languages like you used above and that type of question doesn't really go well with my system. This type of bluntness you exhibited in this comment gets to me. Thanks anyway.

I have been following your comments on this thread and thought you should have ignored "AmalaAtiEwedu" but your response to him/her is awesome and deeply rooted in maturity.

Thank you.

National shame!

Very soon, a newborn baby will be arrested and charged with treason.

This tide will complete its circular movement.

sonmvayina:
Lol..

I will give you the history of Christianity before the Bible was put together...
I mean Catholicism....
Not the picture they are painting for you.
I will tell you all the masacres just to make people believe the bull shit...

Bring it on

I'm interested. Please give me a summary of the history.

sonmvayina:
I was a mass server before you where born..

I know what I am talking about...

Can we have a civil but educative engagement with Biblical facts to your assertion on the Virgin Mary?

sonmvayina:
Mary did not give birth after Jesus/serapis/ Dimuzi ( light)
That's why Mary is the light bearer(mother of the light). A K.,A Lucifer.
So when the Catholics say mary is a virgin. Believe them. They know where they are coming from.
In the litany of the Virgin Mary of of her title there is the "morning star"...
Which is also the title of Lucifer in Isaiah.

They know what they are doing.
They have misled the whole world.

Christianity is about her...

The gospel came way way later. Still about ancient tales about Marduk...

If you value your life come out of her...

Who taught you all these?

Be careful before you feed yourself with obnoxious and false notions.

Unfortunately, the Holy Book did not clearly state whether Mary gave birth after Jesus Christ or not.

Matt 13:55 is not enough to substantiate any claim because we have Matt 27:56 and John 19:26-27.

Let us be mindful that many languages are not as versatile as English. Hebrew or Aramaic [Original Bible text] has no specific words for cousin, nephew, and the rest. 'Adelphos' is the word used circumlocutiously for brother, cousin, nephew, etc. and this will pose a challenge to translators. If John 19:26-27 is anything to go by, why did Jesus Christ entrust Mary to the care of John the apostle while hanging on the cross instead of the alleged brothers?

I think that Joseph never touched Mary in his life. GOD knows the end from the beginning and Mary was created for a special and perpetually undefiled purpose. Joseph as the Bible recorded was a GOD fearing man. Having been convinced by the Angel of GOD on the Immaculate Conception of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, Mary is a spouse of GOD. By his (Joseph's) holiness and deep-rooted belief in GOD, he dares not share a wife with the Almighty.

Using the goddess princess as a case study, we can attest to the reverence and aura people accord to such sacred figures. Then, compare that to the mother of Jesus Christ who the Almighty GOD called 'GOD' in Hebrews 1:6-10. [The Almighty GOD called Jesus Christ 'GOD' in Heb 1:6-10]

Why is it that the people that gave tinubu is votes are bent on removing him from office?

Why is the north angry with tinubu??

APC defenders come and explain. Please don’t mention igbos please, that one is old news.
Wetin tinubu do north. ??

Fayose latest interview was the last straw that crushed the camel's spine.

He that is down fear no more fall!

Nigerians are bleeding already. It is very hard for an average Nigerian to survive on N3,000 per day. Considering the cost of living leveraging on feeding, clothing, shelter, transportation, medication, utility bills, and sundry responsibilities, you will agree with me that N100,000 is nothing to anchor on as living or minimum wage. Even as the N100,000 is being credited to your account, bank charges and other taxation wean it down from hundreds to tens of thousands.

1n 2011 when the minimum age was N18,000, the wage can purchase 3 bags of Rice at N6,000 per bag. So, judging on the same pedestal, any minimum wage that cannot afford 3 bags of Rice is a fluke. Politicians are busy increasing their emoluments and living large at the expense of the masses. When petroleum pump prices, electricity bills, school fees, taxation, etc. were increased exponentially, where did the government think the workers and average Nigerians would get the funds to offset them? You shouldn't increase the distribution channels without widening the supply channels.

Nigerians are keenly watching.

In life, always be yourself. Do not try to copy others. If you do not know how to paste properly, do not copy.

Obi: Subsidy is an organized crime. I will remove the fuel subsidy. In short, the subsidy will not even last one day.

Tinubu's mind: [This Obi is so serious about removing the subsidy. I will copy him on this. If the subsidy will not last even one day under Obi, I will ensure that it will not even last a second under me to prove to Nigeria that I am better than Obi]

When you copy other people's manifesto, during implementation, confusion sets in and your incompetence will become glare.

Tinubu brought shame to his family and Nigerians.

The family is very much aware of who he is.

Sorting ongoing On top one certificate? Is it ballot? Yinmu

Oh I see. On top one certificate? Ordinary 1 certificate o. Little wonder Reno calls you all unserious.

That same on top of one certificate you have be convulsing and spending fortune to prevent that jerked Naira against US Dollar to from 780 to 1100 under one month.

It is obvious that you and cohorts doesn't have shame.

OmoGomesIlorin:
All the money Atiku is spending on court cases will be enough to start a Cassava or Agbado farm to feed the country and become Father Abraham. But no he hates to spend on what will benefit the people.

All the money BAT has been spending to conceal or prevent verification of his academic record is enough to turn Osun state to Dubia.

But he preferred to plunge it into concealing his self-acclaimed Excellent and First class academic record.

[Imagine, how on earth should someone use Excellent and First Class academic record against the owner? This narrative does not connote at all]

Choose between 'Go And Verify' and 'Use Of Every Means And Tools To Stop/Prevent Verification'.

It beats my imagination that Learned sics with certificates will be so proud to defend a Fraudulent Certificate holder.

Throwback:
Why is Atiku asking? What is his right to ask for Tinubu's academic records.

Whatever was required for the election was provided by Tinubu.

At least Tinubu presented his highest qualification of a Bachelor's degree and included the mandatory NYSC certificate.

Did Obi not avoid presenting his own Bachelor's degree certificate and his NYSC?

Let Atiku keep digging while Tinubu keeps him busy.

Only a criminal runs at the sight of corps.

How can you block, put an injection, and fight tooth and nail not to grant access to verify or authenticate what you submitted and claimed to be Distinctively Excellent?

[My brother, it is easier to raise the dead than to defend BAT's Certificate brouhaha]
Let's watch your dance while the music play.

I

If I graduated with First Class and possess an intimidating academic records, on what basis should I be arguing or restraining people access to my record?

I am yet to comprehend all these back and forth, appeal and, restrictions.
