The military gave us the constitution that we are killing to defend today, so why demonizing the military?

The military handed over to politicians who asked for democracy. Yet these 'quasi-democrats' cannot manage a simple election that other democratic countries organise without rancour and rigging. They claim to be democrats but threaten other Nigerians from freely voting their choice. They kill, they maim, they mutilate results and steal people's votes.

Nigeria's election swallows 300 billion Naira every four years, voting is done on a flimsy paper and fake results are manually mutilated and written in the bedroom of politicians after collation at the polling stations. Are the voters who stand in the rain and sunshine that worthless?

Political thugs are everywhere threatening and killing people who want to vote their choice. How is that different from the Liberian war where people's hands were cut off to prevent them from voting?

The Solution
In the event that judiciary becomes too cowardly to call a spade a spade and end rubber-stampping this open electoral heist that has negated every norms of democratic process, the military must must not hesitate to save the country from being thrown into anarchy by politicians who do not believe in the rights of others in a free democracy.

How will they do this? An interim government should take charge and fix the electoral system to ensure that minimal or zero human interference is allowed in our electoral system.

A 100% electronic voting system is what is needed now. Voters get accredited with their voter's card ONLY ONCE, and then vote in a paperless electronic manner, the votes are recorded and sent directly to the server and seen on the INEC IREV in REAL-TIME.
It has to be transparent, so that losers and winners will agree with the results.

Rigging of elections usually happens between when ballots are counted and when the votes are collated by INEC. That is usually when the results are mutilated or destroyed and the fake ones recorded..That should be stemmed in the tide by e-polling and e-collation and e-transmission of votes. A lot of money will be saved from printing worthless ballot papers that can be snatched anytime by political thugs trying to subvert the process.

Politicians who have vested interests cannot give us a perfect electoral system. When the debate for BVAS and IreV was brought up on the floor of the Senate last year, many sitting politicians afraid of loss of popularity back home, opposed the inclusion of clause 'INEC shall transmit electronically', this has given INEC and politicians the wherewithal to claim 'there is no network, we will transmit the votes when we get to the office', allowing the sustenance of an electoral system that is fraught with heavy irregularities.

Videos abound of INEC presiding officials who have been bribed by politicians telling the voters 'we will not upload until we get to the office', of course we know that once they get to their office (or the sitting rooms of politicians), the results are mutilated or changed outrightly. That's an insult to the Nigerian voters.

No politician will allow such reform to happen, not even Tinubu will let that happen. Only a dispassionate interim military government can institute an electoral reform that will be fair to all and hand it over to Nigerians.
We need to consider this a surgical procedure that will strengthen true democracy in the aftermath.

I doff my hat for you.
We have young , intelligent and vibrant young guys and girls in every corner of Nigeria, the bad system hid you all. The bad system would not allow you be able to buy political form, it wouldn’t allow you contest for she has the agberos at her disposal. Is a delight reading your submission.
Let those that celebrate the killing and maiming of the non Yoruba ( mostly igbos) in Lagos take time and go through the last Waec performance state by state. Lagos was the first from SW and it occupied 22 position!
The middle belt is coming, when they are finally up they would join their voice in liberating Nigeria. The Yoruba has taken back seat in education, let them keep celebrating their agbero.

Acidosis:
Chai... INEC just waste our billions on this election

Is it not better to have a military government where 36 people get selected by a superior authority?

christistruth01:
!Lagos is Yorubaland

Lagos is in SW too

Yorubas are in SW

So why is someone from SE complaining about

Yorubas living in their SW homeland

Is it Onitsha?


How many Yorubas come to Onitsha to tell Imo people

or Enugu People to get lost since Anambra

is not their State?I

.

Napata77:
This makes no sense.

If Yorubas settled in Lagos in droves more than anyone else from the 1450s, as the article says, then it IS Yorubaland.

Just about everyone living in West Africa today is descended from people who migrated from somewhere else.

This Oba Akiolu needs to go and study the history of the sub-region.

By his argument, Onitsha is not actually Igboland, but Edoland.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica:

''Founded by adventurers from Benin (nearby, to the west) in the early 17th century, Onitsha grew to become the political and trading centre of the small Igbo (Ibo) kingdom of Onitsha. Its monarchical system (rare among the Igbo people) was patterned after that of Benin.''

Labor Party from Top to bottom.

We are dismantling every structure of criminality of PDP and APC

Palm oil 25litre = 23,800 Naira. Sokoto state

dustmalik:
OP, we dash LP all the APC votes in Rivers and Lagos, LP still won't catch up. So what's the point?

Obi could never have won this election, no matter how you look at it. Take a second look at his numbers in the core north, he did very poorly.

Obi will be wasting his time and money going to court.

1stGenAmerican:
You didn’t have to lie,
Why didn’t you just be up front and show the rest of the food and tell about the delivery charge. Better yet, why didn’t you show the receipt?
So you paid that amount for an entree, rice, and possibly a delivery charge. Okay.

Softmirror:


AFTER PETER OBI LOSES. THAT IS WHEN CHINEDU AND CHINYERE WILL ALL BECOME SIMON EKPA PLUS. BUT TINUBU WILL DEAL WITH THEM. I TRUST SHETTIMA, HE WILL SHOW THEM SHEGE

9jatriot:
Oyedepo is from what tribe?
You will find more Yoruba people supporting PO than people from SE who support Tinubu, not even SE politicians in APC whole heartedly support Tinubu, so who is more tribalistic?

yemmight:
You cab Imagine Obi. You came to Lagos and refused to visit Oba of Lagos. What an Insult and you paid a visit to Gani Adams.

Godoverevery:
Wahala .....Gani adams of all people in yorubaland.


What type of BS is this.....bowing to a cow cos of meat.

PO fall hand for this one ooo.....counsellor aspirant for yorubaland no go even visit gani Adam's and a whole presidential candidate visiting him....nawa ooo
If only you understand the meaning of AARE ona kakanfo of Yoruba land. Whatever reason he was given that title, he is the number one traditional ruler in Yoruba land as a whole.

Desperation no good.

TheNiceGuy:
Obi supporters are illiterates.

The guy attacked all the Presidential Canditates but Obi rodents from their gutter behaviour took it personally.

ceejayluv:
I was disappointed though... I prefer the deadline still stands And let's get done with the whole drama. Postponing the deadline will embolden the currency racketeers to hoard it further or sell them to The highest bidders (politicians)....

amnesty7:

Authored by Shehu Abdullahi, younger brother to Uthman Danfodiyo, no less. What a time to be alive that an IPOB man is earnestly happy to receive a leadership book by the so-called Fulani emirs while IPOB sympathisers are watching with over-excitemment!

Localemperor:
The North will not vote Tinubu because he is not marketable not because they want to digress from their alliance. If there is one person I'm sure would lose, its Tinubu. The signs are there.

The West betrayed the greater South, and now the North after testing power wants to keep it. Atiku is coming, everything is in his favour.

betshopagent:
but buhari was sick when you voted him? Not saying you are wrong but buhari was in same state as tinubu's health when all northerners joined hands in voting him in.

Lana40:
About that new Naira stuffs...
