DDC Machines - Zinox Deploys 74 Workers to INEC

Mr. Echika Ezuka, the deployment of 74 supporting staff to aid INEC was simply an act of patriotism as that was not part of the contract to supply 80,000 DDC machines which was completed mid-last week.

He explained that Zinox had displayed two IT engineers for each of the 36 States and Abuja.

I can bet "Zinox Engineers" are mostly Nigerian University graduates and former corpers?

Now INEC will need their help to fix the voting machine.

I still want that silly INEC spokesman flogged, publicly!

Ibime:
I just sent the bazztard some hatemail.

Appreciated.

At least his friends on facebook should know he killed someone a yr younger than him who was getting his MS while his own job is hustling and puzzie hunting

ROSSIKE:
Eko Ile, nice one. I think they should get rid of that red fence and just leave that space

Your head is surely screwed on right.

It will look better w/o the fence, more welcoming more accessible. I'll like to see the same done to those highway gardens, remove the obstruction so drivers and pedestrians can enjoy the view, there is no point caging beauty. (I know litter can be an issue sometimes, fine them!) Gotta give it to Fashola and Lagos though, they are putting in the efforts.

Unnecessary rudeness makes you look rather agricultural.

 
SMH @ Beaf and his "bullying". Walahi, you'll owe the whole "interweb" an apology after this election is over.


@Beaf, cjfavour is obviously disappointed in oga GEJ and his PDP government. As a Nigerian, I understand his concerns. It will be great if you can answer his questions.

Which one of those things did GEJ/ Yar'adua do? Which one did GEJ/PDP fix after Yar'adua?  It's unfair to expect cjfavour and millions like him to suspend disbelief and assume PDP will fix these things if elected again. Except if you've concluded his concerns don't matter and you'll win anyway.

BTW, what's this transparent PDP convention business I keep reading about? Are we so forgetful?

I recall watching the same convention last time. I remember watching the one that gave us OBJ, it was broadcasted live on AIT and NTA too, all into the wee hours of the morning right? we all counted the votes together then and the gullible praised the whole "transparent" show.

I guess the FB, NL and twitter commentaries made this one more glamorous for those who were not Naija conscious last time. I saw nothing new, just more of the same corrupt usurpers smiling behind oga Jonathan.

Twas kinda hard at first, buh I finally got a hang of d scanner after bout 20mins on d 1st day, My only grouse now is my yucky location, d kinda hands i have to handle when i manipulate their fingers for print capture, Omg!

Buh generally sha, if we the nysc staff were motivated, mehn, we cud do alot. I for one cud register at least a hundred peeps a day if i were in a more conducive environment, Pls dont talk about sacrifice 4 country cos jfk said d whole think wot u can do 4 your country, knowing that his country america wud bail its citizens out of a rough spot in less than 24hrs,

We need a basic level of committment from d govt b4 we talk bout patriotism abeg! Some fat-cats r getting rich somewhere off this contract, me dey suffer dey register 10 fingers of some people wey i no know which disgusting crevice their hand dey come from, Plus d one's wey b lyk say dem get elephantiasis 4 hand, Who has that?! .

Me, i dey leave house by 9am these days jare, I fit reach my pu by 11am sef, Govt never ready, after i suffer finish, make dem come rig abi?!

Funny guy.

Try to get gloves if INEC will allow -don't know why they won't- You can get one of those cheap surgical gloves from local pharmacies in Mushin.

And that $diot INEC guy dey blame these corpers?!!! Sango punish hin mouth

BTW, you are right, it's wrong for govt to sit her lazy incompetent fat ass down, while asking you to work with nothing. No be that kin sacrifice JKF they talk.

[size=14pt]Ope o!![/size]

They should him him over us!! Doubt bawo will want revenge though.

I'm glad his dad can now ask why, He kept saying he'll like to know why.

@isale_gan Yes the fight continues for the next election season.

As to the dual citizen thing, IMO, the more foreign passports you aquire the better your profile becomes among the clueless, that's how much some of our people love everything foreign. I won't be surprised if there are plenty dual citizens in the National Assembly.

I'm not sure about Remote learning at Nigerian Schools, but goodluck with the other things.

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=586413.msg7556466#msg7556466 date=1295362213]It was also discussed here, but no new updates: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=225044.msg7453827#msg7453827

This has been of greater concern to me at this election more than any other[.  Talked to my dad about it the other day.  He suggests continuing to harangue the Nigerian embassies and consulates wherever we are.  Even if it's just to call and ask them for updates, or the same questions all the time.  "How far with the legislation?" "Who's holding it up?" "For what reason," "What about the other countries," etc.

The Nigerian Consulate in my area is so close it's actually walking distance.  Gonna be on a first name basis. . .    [/quote]Unfortunately there is no way Nigerians-living-abroad can vote in this 2011 election. They fought the good fight very early and lost.

I agree with calling the embassy for updates, even if it's just to be a pest. Afterall, they do little to no work anyway, working for 4 hours/day and closing shop before lunch and shyyte

IMO, The whole house of Assembly is guilty, except for a few representatives like Abike Dabiri (Lagos, ACN). They all failed to do their job.

Reasons  given:

The hopes of Nigerians abroad to vote in the country’s next general election were dashed yesterday as the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee on the review of the 1999 Constitution said there is no immediate plan for that because of the enormous resources involved.

The chairman of the committee, Usman Bayero Nafada, disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday.,

Mr. Nafada, who spoke at a press conference to review the activities of the committee whose report was considered on Tuesday, said the committee did the cost implication of allowing Nigerians in Diaspora to vote in next year’s election and subsequent ones and discovered that it would surpass the funds needed to conduct elections locally.

Nigerians in the Diaspora are not in one particular country, they are spread all over the world. And you cannot say because you have a large number in country A, you cannot say country A should vote and deny those in other countries from voting. And if you do the cost analysis, you will discover that it is highly expensive,” Mr. Nafada, who is also the deputy speaker of the House, said.

Stressing that the voting system is still manual, Mr. Nafada, however, said that the issue may be considered in future when voting is done electronically, during which, he remarked, the cost may be reduced.

Isale_gan, you probably know a lot about the US voting process, is it all Electronic?

Don't they have write in candidates and mail-in/manual voting?

Soldiers stationed outside the country vote, don't they?

Civilians in some States can choose to mail in their vote, right?

Also, note that Nigerians-abroad are expected to register and renew passports manually and through the mail, ain't they?

They send those document manually don't they? and recently they even had to travel to hub cities in their various countries to get the new e-passports, right?

So, you can see that the arguement used by that cluless chop-till-i-quench looter is just that; clueless.

Other countries:

Filipinos-abroad voted in their election; http://news.feetintwoworlds.org/2010/05/05/immigrant-filipinos-pray-for-peaceful-elections/


As I mentioned earlier Guineans voted: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/05/far-from-home-guineans-cast-their-vote/

There are several others, I used those countries as examples because one(Philipines) is a highly populated country with similar political issues as Nigeria and a very large diapora population. The other is a "poor" African country.

I see no reason why my representatives failed to do it,  except for their cluelessness and incompetence.

Isale, that is why we need folks like you to come back to Naija and put your knowledge to work, contest for office and chase these laggards out, we will ask Fstranger for permission

Don't ask me about my own efforts, I'm an internet warrior! a la Pat Utomi. (someone's gotta fight the cyber wars)   

Kobojunkie:
People care if the schools are open. When a call comes from the high authorities that people INCONVENIENCE themselves in this way, they like to know that they are not being played for fools. Many of these parents have no babysitters to look after there kids and many have had to spend more as a result of the closure believing it is for the greater good. When they find out that even those calling for this break in their schedule do not respect their own ordinances, it is signs that these leaders do not respect them.

Either you are really ignorant or you are desperately trying to win one for team Goodluck here. What the heck? If you need me to be a spectator for you, at least endeavor to come up with more intelligent rebuttals than the trash you keep posting just cause you DESPERATELY want to win a brownie point for team GOODLUCK, which I think is absurd!

I don't do this often, ~except for Aare Becomrich~ so enjoy it; 

This is one of your better posts. Well said Kobo! very well said!

As the voters’ registration continued on its fumbling note into day three yesterday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), attributed the inefficiency to low knowledge of the corps members who were deployed as registration officers. The Commission, while apologising to members of the public for the delay and general inadequacies attending the exercise across the federation, said “we are sorry but we will continue to improve.”

Featuring on a political programme, “Focus Nigeria”, the INEC National Commissioner in charge of Publicity, Prince Solomon Soyebi, lamented that the commission was not happy with the development but explained that the commission took it for granted that the corps members would know the basic operations of a computer, a belief, he said, turned out to be misplaced.

So the best Papa INEC can do is to throw his children under the bus?

So that INEC top commissioner who failed to get OBJ registered na corper?

Shameful! SMH

Akhenaten, I saw you posted a picture of Adaka Boro's arrest on the Nigerian History thread, I think it's appropriate to add it here too.

Isaac Adaka Boro, One of my favourite Nigerians of modern times. He was a true warrior and a courageous defender of his people.

Edit: Ok I saw you posted it again before I did, Thank you!

^@akhenaten, not trying to steal your thunder there, just adding to it. Thanks for making your argument with these pictures, a lot of Nigerians do not understand the depth of our peoples pain and sufferings in the Niger Delta.

^^You better settle awon men like Danladi and his vulture investors did and stop talking like oyinbo, o ti mo wassup

Danladi and I can ignore the current road-route, bypass Ekiti completely and take the rail through Ibadan or Akure via Ikare to Kabba and onward to Lokoja and Abuja

I don't even know why we are scanning fingers at all sef .

what's the point? it's not like we will have the records in a decent database two weeks after the election






MORAL: if You cannot organize an effective voter registration process with all the billons spent, You most probably cannot govern well.
