Burob:
Sorry for the insomnia that u are going through, Tinubu has done it again, he has now turned to the Grinch that stole your sleep.

Have u tried laxatine snooze, it may help u will sleep?💤.

If governance were working, you wouldn’t need comedy to defend it.

Nigerians aren’t losing sleep over fairy tales, they’re losing it over high cost of living, food costs, collapse naira, collapse economy and the fear of armed men, kidnappers, and bandits turning highways, byways, villages and cities into hunting grounds.

It’s expected.
Nigerians no longer sleep, the Tinubu regime snatched sleep, grabbed it, and ran off with it.

From the hasty subsidy removal to the ill-timed floating of the naira, from rising insecurity to kidnappings and killings, every policy and every crisis has conspired to keep citizens awake.

This is no longer governance; it is a regime of sleeplessness and hopelessness.

We’ve been down this road before, Tinubu.

Arresting opponents won’t arrest the will of the people.

Nigerians are resolute... May 28, 2027, must mark the end.
Another four years under this regime is simply unthinkable.

ADC is marching on

There's nothing finishing there. It's politics and it's not looking good for his boss. Fayọse is not contesting for the Presidency, same as Wike so it is his Boss, Atiku, who has a lot to lose.

By 2031, how old do you think Atiku will be? 85 years old! That's the finishing.

So by 2031, Atiku Abubakar will be 85?

at least his age is well known and established

At least with Atiku, the numbers add up. No disappearing classmates. No vanishing records. No identity inconsistency and gymnastics.

Meanwhile, you’re well known to be a supporter of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose age has sparked more debates than policy discussions. The same age story that keeps shifting depending on the audience. The same background wrapped in certificate drama and identity inconsistencies Nigerians haven’t forgotten.

INEC is spending N209.21 billion on “election technology,” yet the APC-led Akpabio Senate, instead of focusing on its constitutional duty to make laws, is busy defending INEC’s supposed inability to guarantee electronic transmission of results.


So what exactly are we paying for?

seunmsg:
Bring it on Fayose, we are here for the vawulence

What is Oshokomole bringing on? Oh, I remember, he has diarrhea of the mouth.

Instead of addressing Tinubu, who continues to ruin the country in what is becoming Nigeria’s worst regime, he’s busy obsessing over Makinde.

Tinubu abandoned Nigerians and sought solar power for Aso Villa.

Tinubu unlikely to sign amended electoral act with electronic transmission of poll results alone: Sunday Dare

Mr Dare said, “I can assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a renowned democrat, will do what is right, but it will not be in isolation of the realities of our country.”



A media aide to President Bola Tinubu, Sunday Dare, has said Mr Tinubu is unlikely to give assent to the amended electoral act particularly real-time electronic transmission of election results.

Mr Dare, special adviser to the president on media and public communication, spoke during his appearance on a programme on Arise TV.

He stated that the country lacked sufficient Internet capacity to transmit election results from polling units via real-time upload of results on INEC’s IREV website.

He said the president would take account of the country’s present Internet realities before deciding whether to assent to the bill.

“I can assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a renowned democrat, will do what is right, but it will not be in isolation of the realities of our country,” Mr Dare said.

He said that Nigeria’s limited Internet infrastructure cannot handle the volume of data required for real-time electronic transmission of poll results.

Mr Dare added, “There’s no 100 per cent real-time transmission anywhere. Are you telling me that this country as it is, is networked enough to have a 100 per cent electronic process?.”

The issue of electronic transmission of election results ignited nationwide debates and divided the Senate after lawmakers alleged that the Senate president Godswill Akpabio forged the Act to deliberately exclude the clause requiring the upload of results on INEC’s IREV portal.

But after protests at the National Assembly, Mr Akpabio agreed to reinstate the clause.

For the amended bill to become law, it has to be signed by the president.

During the 2023 presidential polls, the IREV portal was down for more than six hours over what officials claimed to be caused by technical glitches.

Twenty-four hours after the polls which Mr Tinubu was declared winner in February 2023, INEC had only uploaded 11 per cent of results.

The Tinubu regime is a threat to Nigeria's existence.

Obaofaba:
This is one of the reasons why the president must be reelected.

We want every time in our dear nation to be enjoyable.

Because of what he claims was an unforgettable afternoon with the Minister of Interior, the same minister implicated in a N438 million contract scam that led to the sacking of former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu

Truly, It has been said and proven that Agbado supporters are among the most unreasonable people to have ever emerged.

Burob:
As usual, started your day with wailing this Tuesday morning?

People that have refused to move their lives forward, unless Tinubu helps them? Dey there they wait for Tinubu to come & help u.

I also forgot to add that he empowered individuals like you to enthusiastically whitewash his despicable and fraudulent character, remarkable, considering he has never denied the forgeries, identity theft, or his well-documented history as a drug bárón.

Burob:
When Abia state was investing in electricity, Gringory Obi was investing in a brewery.

While Tinubu was investing in forgery, identity theft, land grabbing and also buccaneering his way into power, siphoning and milking the entire commonwealth of Lagosians into his personal pocket via opaque and fraudulent Alpha Beta deals

“It is not the Senate that is the problem here. Akpabio is the problem,” El-Rufai said, adding: “By every definition, he is a scumbag.”

Akpabio deserves every despicable name being hurled at him.

I watched him on national television with disbelief as he spewed weak, illogical excuses for why electronic transmission of election results from polling units should not be mandatory hiding behind insecurity, a collapsed national grid, and failing telecom services in nine states, and deliberately refusing to mention the nine states while casually casting aspersions at real and imagined critics.

Having tangled himself in contradictions, he then had the audacity to tell Nigerians to direct their grievances to INEC and not to him or the Senate as though the Senate President’s role is to evade responsibility rather than make laws.

It took David Mark, a former Senate President, to publicly reduce him to a remedial civics lesson: his duty is to legislate, not to obfuscate; to make laws, not excuses. If Nigerians demand mandatory electronic transmission of results, it is the responsibility of the Senate, under Akpabio’s leadership to enshrine it in law.

Anything less is not just incompetence; it is a deliberate attempt to sabotage free, fair, and credible elections and to subvert the will of the people.

SMBLF, NGE, Agbakoba demand mandatory real-time transmission of election results

Kaduna/Lagos — Three prominent groups and individuals have intensified calls for the National Assembly to enshrine mandatory real-time electronic transmission of election results in Nigeria’s electoral framework ahead of the 2027 general elections.


The Southern and Middle Belt Leadership Forum (SMBLF) on Monday demanded that Clause 60 of the proposed 2026 Electoral Amendment Bill, already passed by the House of Representatives, be retained. The forum warned that any attempt to discard the provision could erode Nigeria’s democratic foundations.

In a statement signed by SMBLF leader Oba Oladipo Olaitan, Middle Belt Forum President Dr. Bitrus Pogu, Ohanaeze Ndigbo President-General Senator John Azuta-Mbata, and PANDEF National Chairman Ambassador Godknows Igali, the group emphasized that credible elections are the bedrock of democratic governance.


The SMBLF cited the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Result Viewing Portal (IReV) as an effective tool for real-time monitoring of polling unit results, reducing manipulation and post-election disputes. The forum expressed alarm over reports that the Senate had tampered with the final version of the bill by removing the clause mandating real-time transmission, calling the development “unacceptable in a democratic legislature.”

“The law must be clear, firm and mandatory,” the statement said, recalling the 2023 presidential election litigation where the Supreme Court relied on Section 60(5) of the 2022 Electoral Act, which made electronic transmission optional, a loophole the forum insisted must not recur.

Nigerian Guild of Editors

Backing the demand, the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) also criticized the Senate’s stance on transmission of results, warning that making it optional could undermine public trust and voter participation. In a statement signed by President Eze Anaba and General Secretary Onuoha Ukeh, the NGE called on the National Assembly to harmonize the Senate’s position with that of the House of Representatives and approve mandatory, immediate transmission of results from polling units to INEC’s central servers and collation centres.


“This decision would lay a solid foundation for free and fair elections and help deepen democracy,” the guild said, stressing that digitalized elections enhance transparency, accuracy, and voter confidence while reducing disputes and curbing electoral fraud.

Olisa Agbakoba

Adding his voice, prominent human rights lawyer Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, urged lawmakers to enshrine mandatory real-time electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act. He described recurring election disputes as the result of “persistent legal uncertainty” and warned that repeated amendments to the Electoral Act have failed to provide statutory backing for electronic transmission.

Agbakoba noted that the Supreme Court ruled the IReV portal lacked legal force during the 2023 elections because electronic transmission was not explicitly provided for in the Electoral Act 2022. He argued that this gap imposes an “insurmountable evidentiary burden” on election petitioners and perpetuates protracted litigation and democratic uncertainty.


Citing the June 12, 1993 election as a benchmark for transparency, Agbakoba called for combining immediate verification of results at polling units with modern electronic tools to ensure efficient, secure, and verifiable elections.


“The current legislative process represents a monumental opportunity for the National Assembly to resolve this fundamental issue before the 2027 general elections,” he said. “Without this amendment, we risk repeating the same cycle of disputed elections and damaged democratic credibility.”


The three calls collectively stress that mandatory real-time electronic transmission of results is essential to safeguard the will of Nigerians, reduce electoral malpractice, enhance transparency, and restore public confidence in the democratic process

Nice gesture and like they say, cleanliness is next to godliness.

The Tinubu regime is a monumental fraud

Christian ‘Genocide’: I want Trump to order more U.S. military strikes in northern Nigeria; Christmas Day bombing was blessing, says Tinubu

“Nigeria is looking forward to collaboration….We are expecting that there will be more,” Mrs Tinubu stated. “It was quite a blessing.”


Remi Tinubu, Nigeria’s first lady, has called for more U.S. military strikes targeted at terrorists and bandits in the northern region of the country.

Mrs Tinubu described the Christmas Day military strikes ordered by President Donald Trump as a blessing to the West African nation.

“Nigeria is looking forward to collaboration….We are expecting that there will be more,” Mrs Tinubu stated in an interview with Fox News on Friday during her visit to the United States.

Asked about America’s Christmas Day strike on terrorists in Sokoto, Mrs Tinubu said, “It was quite a blessing.”

Mrs Tinubu had attended the National Prayer Breakfast with Mr Trump on Thursday.

Mr Trump poured encomium on her during the programme on Thursday, months after President Bola Tinubu’s government splashed millions of dollars on Republican lobbyists to burnish his tainted reputation in Washington following Mr Trump’s 2025 remarks denouncing Nigeria “a disgrace” under his leadership.

In January, the U.S. president warned that airstrikes in northern Nigeria would continue as long as terrorists and bandits keep killing Christians.

“I’d love to make it a one-time strike,” Mr Trump said, “But if they continue to kill Christians, it will be a many-time strike.”

Mr Trump announced on Christmas Day that the United States military, at his direction, carried out a series of airstrikes against terrorist targets in the northern part of Nigeria, marking America’s first kinetic action in the West African country.

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in North-West Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even centuries!” Mr Trump said in a statement on Truth Social late on Thursday.

The announcement came days after news broke that the U.S. government had been conducting intelligence-gathering flights over Nigerian airspace since November, after Mr Trump’s threat of a military invasion of Nigeria to eliminate terrorists killing Christians.

Speaking further, Mr Trump added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.”

Mr Trump described the military strikes as a gift.

Lanretoye:
They are afraid of people that can alter jamb result,waec results. They can adulterate human beings where necessary,to alter election result from their room is PO

You forget to add that they're also afraid of certificate forgers, identity thiéves, tax law forger's and buccaneering power grabbers

Page 45 of the report of the Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, Clause 60(3) provided: “The Presiding Officer shall electronically transmit the results from each polling unit to the IREV portal in real time and such transmission shall be done after the prescribed Form EC8A has been signed and stamped by the Presiding Officer and/or countersigned by the candidates or polling agents available at the polling unit.”

Anybody who has a problem with this is, quite obviously, an enemy of this country and a threat to democracy

What Nigerians want is the mandatory electronic transmission of election results from polling units, clearly inserted into the Electoral Act.

This enhances transparency in the process and also serves as a deterrent to rigging, because the weakest link in our entire election results management process is collation. That is where results are manipulated.

After voting at the polling unit, results should be collated, entered on the result sheets, and then uploaded by the presiding officer to the Irev portal or any other portal designated by INEC.

That way, accessibility is guaranteed. By the time results reach the collation centre, everyone has already seen the results.

Moroccoguy:
Are u normal at all which 100k

I honestly don’t understand you.

Did you come from Mars, or were you not in this country when a bag of rice hit over N100,000 under the Tinubu regime?

Congratulations to ndi Abia

Both Akpabio, the APC, and their hordes of supporters are confused. They are simply deceiving themselves into thinking they are deceiving Nigerians.

OP, you lied that the price of a bag of rice rose to N100,000 under Buhari.

That is a lie from the pit of hell.

The only regime under which the price of rice rose to N100,000 and above is the Tinubu administration.

Burob:
Very funny guy, make Akpabio give u work for Eyeneck, u need am.

Hahahaha!

Burob:
The law says the Eyeneck will take responsibility for that, so what is all your noise over?

Did they take responsibility for the glitch that happened in 2023?

Burob:
Exactly, the senate approved electronic transmission, it just included a clause that the INEC will make the last decision on the transmission of the results based on the circumstances as they say it, next thing hypocrite minded Nigerians start making noise over much ado about nothing.

They want a case in their ignorance that if the results are not transmitted electronically for whatever reason whatsoever, it should be discarded, or be inadmissible as evidence in court.

Approving it is not what Nigerians want.
What Nigerians want is mandatory electronic transmission of election results from polling units.

Adding a clause and leaving it to INEC’s discretion is unacceptable. We tried to trust INEC in 2023. It failed

Remember, In the 2023 general election, the then INEC Chairman, Yakubu, promised results would be uploaded. On election day, there was a “glitch” with no explanation. When this was challenged in court, the ruling was clear: because mandatory electronic transmission is not in the Electoral Act, INEC could not be held to promises or guidelines.

INEC guidelines are not law.

So let’s stop pretending this is new.
Nigerians want mandatory electronic transmission written into the Electoral Act.
And the job of the National Assembly is simple: legislate what the people want, not give excuses.

Exousiang01:
No
That is not exactly what Nigerians are demanding.
Electronic transmission is not the problem.
"Real-Time" and "Compulsory" is the problem

"Compulsory" means votes not transmitted in real time due to any reason whatsoever becomes invalid.
What you lots are asking for is beyond what you understand.
Nigerians are emotional people with zero rational thinking

No, you’re the one confusing things in your head.
Nigerians do want electronic transmission made mandatory in the electoral law. That’s the demand.

The issue isn’t electronic transmission.The issue is transparency and accountability.

And you’re twisting compulsory into something it’s not.

Compulsory doesn’t mean if there’s a glitch, the result is invalid.
It means the system must be used, not ignored or manipulated.

If the system has a glitch, the solution is to fix it, not to hide behind excuses

And your Nigerians are emotional line is really funny, funny because it’s the kind of emotional excuse, line people use when they can’t defend a position.

Burob:
😂 hahaha, answer yes or no, if there is a glitch, or delay for whatsoever reason, should those results be discarded, since it is also electronic transmission that will be accepted by u & your bandannas?

You don’t throw away the phone because the call drops.

To answer your question, No.

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s accountability.
Electronic transmission gives us that.
