I'm ready to vote for satan instead of Jonathan. So AIT, you can continue your mudslinging documentary. It's Buhari or nobody.

Me and my entire LGA, have decided to vote for CHANGE.
To us, AIT is non-existent.

misscastle:
O'boy... E be like say you no sabi this country oh

It is easier for Satan to make heaven than Buhari to get disqualified. PDP and GEJ are no more considering that option.

Spilling of innocent blood spiked insurgency in the North East. It made a lot of people sympathetic to Boko Haram. Tell me now if the relatives of the dead would ever cooperate and support our Men?

“GMB Will Win In 4 Zones Out Of 6, GEJ Would Head To Otuoke After Polls” – OTR

The statement quoted above is from someone who has a functional brain, not noodles like Okupe.
By the way, Buhari will be leading our Army to Sambisa to wipe out GEJ's siblings.

You see you life, Femi? Abok.i teaching you common sense. Something that's supposed to be in your DNA by default, as a Yorubaman, but because you want food from Omo iran k'iran Jonathan, you're now singing like a bird. It's a big shame

nwafuluozoh:
Poor woman keh? She's got more clout in her little finger than Amaechi has in his whole body.
Just watch and see.

We are talking about the Hague here, not Abuja.
Let's hope APC is not serious about this.

annazubi:
if he ddnt kill urs I'd ve askd u to ask them. Monkey.

Fair enough. It would have been an insult to non-living things if I should liken you to one of them, let alone compare you to the simpliest organism in the animal or plant kingdon. You are just non-existent.

Now go and ask your parents the reason why they survived Buhari regime if he actually killed 5 million innocent citizens.

CHM11:
Just the same way the WAI rules were childish and lame during the Buhari tenure.
If I am a politician who has stolen so much money and I know buhari will be a problem, I can simply just steal much much more then if buhari wins, I will relocate to a better country and enjoy my life. Report kooor, report ni....with the people surrounding buhari? They should tell us something else. Amaechi is still owing more than 15000 ex corpers N110,000 each since june 2013!!!!! Buhari should start there for now by advicing his colleague, Rotimi amaechi to shun corruption and pay these people their money!!!

No Governor is under any obligation to pay Corps Members. They are only doing them a favor. For God's sake, I served in a state that pays N1000 per month, but we that served in the private sector didn't get a dime and heaven did not fall.

annazubi:
Photoshop is allowed. N250 detained after 5 million had been killed? Photoshop won't help you. Buhari is a dictator. We don't want a killer-president. Thank you.

5 million people killed and your parents are not among

Rubbish!

I don't how appointing someone from my tribe will put food on my table. Absolutely useless. We need constand power supply, flowing water taps, good roads, better education and health system, security, employment opportunities etc, and not appointments that benefit just the individuals with their families and friends.
You will not be re-elected.

airsaylongcon:
Speculative. Point me to specific sources of you above allegations.

Speculative? I see. I watched the senate session where Mark made that statement myself and the presidency press release about Obj isn't even up to 3 weeks yet.
If you want to know the sources, you can help yourself. Google is your friend.

zicoraads:
I believe we would have a better performance. At least now we know what the flaws are and how they can be corrected. I support the PDP, but I haven't lost my soul in the process. I am a firm supporter of a free and fair polls. And it is my firm believe that these card readers would do justice to that and I support it's full implementation. But what I do believe is that it was wrong for INEC to have had plans to test these machines on election day.

And I would like more clarification on the issue of the FG preventing INEC from using those machines in the states you mentioned. Because as far as I can tell, it's the Governors of those states that opposed the use of these machines. They viewed it as an avenue for the FG to manipulate the polls.

And I can categorically tell you that as at 6 days to the election, INEC hadn't trained or even rolled out the names of it's Ad Hoc staffs in some states.

INEC's financial dependency on the Executive Arm of Government is an issue. What INEC is doing now with Card Readers should have been done in Ekiti around April last year in preparation for the election there, but the fund for that election had not even been released yet then. I witnessed a senatorial bye-election in Gombe State in 2010 and I can tell you the Ad-hoc staff only had their names posted at INEC offices just a day to the election day and only had a day training. All these within 3 days to the election. I wouldn't know the reason for this if they had funds to train their staff for at least a week.
It's very wrong to test the CRs only on election days. There should have been run-off tests when Cards were being distributed at the PU level. I never endorsed the idea of having elections in February when the timetable was released because INEC's level of preparedness was still at zero, but people who are complaining now were ok with it. INEC has its own shortcomings, but the FG is 70% responsible for the poor level of preparedness.

airsaylongcon:
And you know the bolded for a fact? U were there when the planned on postponing it? Please lets say what we know and not speculate

I don't have to be there to know the fact that David Mark said last year that we should not be talking about 2015 elections when we have Boko Haram in the North East.
I don't have to be among the planners when it's a fact that the President's media aide accused Obj of being angry with Jona because the former was not considered to head the Interim National Government. Are they really planning an ING? Why if they are serious with this election? The facts are there.

zicoraads:
You are missing the point. The point is not whether they got the money in Jan. this year or last year. The point is, was INEC ready for the polls last month? If Jega didn't get funds in time and therefore didn't prepare well, why then was he insisting on going ahead with the polls? I am only addressing INEC's readiness or otherwise.

They were ready. On this Card Reader issue, we can not have a better performance on 28th than we could have if the election was not postponed.
The Card Readers would have been used in Osun and Ekiti if INEC were indeed independent.
The FG have been sabotaging the process as far back as 2012 when all PVCs should have been produced and Card Readers procured.
Man and Material, INEC was ready before February. INEC will have to postpone the election for another 6 months to get to the level of readiness you people are asking for, but elections must take place before April 30.
PVC and Card Readers will be used and everyone with authentic card- not impersonating- will vote on that day.
No going back. We should not be starting at this level by 2019. We should be talking about a better method-like e-voting.

silvernus0:
how do u expect d govment to rescue 300 pple amidst terror armd individuals, lets be realistic here nd stop bn political with d issue ,evry normal terrorist wil use them as shields ,the only 3 options are 1.to aply a blind eye bombard nd distroy evrythin inbtw their zone, 2. negotiate with dem to realse d girls 3.take it slowly . i dont tink america can evn do anytin wit violence to bring back d girls in one same piece.

The sect was ready to negotiate their release days after the incidence, but then our Government thought the kidnap was a hoax.

Redoil:
APC are the ones that kidnapp those lovely shildren just to score cheap point in polls against gej

I see
No wonder you are dumb.

APC have now become a reason for Jonathan's failure.
We will not hold them responsible because they are not responsible for their missing, neither are they responsible for their rescue.

zicoraads:
Jega sought for and got every dime he asked for from the Presidency. Some of us make statements that are unfounded. Did you check INECs funding before making this statement? Jega has never complained about shortages of funds.

He didn't get N75 billion of the fund until January this year. What do you have to say about that? The people shouting about how INEC not producing PVC on time didn't know that INEC delayed because of the fund available to them. FG wasn't ready for this election in the first place. They had wanted to postpone the polls indefinitely on the ground of insecurity. Please lets say only what we know.

myhoodlink:
Not so bro. If this was the main election, GEJ would won by 95% due to the fact that majority of Kano voters (perceived stronghold of the opposition) had problems with the CR recognising their PVC just like Rivers State

The problem in Kano was not about the authenticity of the card, but of fingerprints and I don't think these people will not be verified on this ground alone provided they pass photo verification. Stop spreading falsehood. Those with cloned should steer of our polls.

Ngwakwe:
According to INEC. A voter is assumed to be accredited and eligible to vote only when the PVC is authenticated by the fingerprints using the Card reader with exception of the amputees.

They need to reconcile their activities with the subsisting electoral law to avoid unruly behaviour at the polling units.

If amputees can be verified using the same machines, I don't think anyone will be disenfranchised on the ground of fingerprints if the Officials are convinced beyond reasonable doubt that the card holder is the real owner- not when a whopping 40% of voters are affected. I'm certain INEC will work on this. We must also do our own part. I give Jega and INEC 95% confidence level.

LRNZH:
You have even elevated the grossly meaningless post with your short response.

This was how it started and their lies- about Buhari saying he will make Nigeria ungovernable if GEJ wins in 2011- almost became the truth.
His bubbles need to be bursted before he starts telling us how Tinubu and Buhari founded PDP.

sakaguchi:
[b] Story story!

Once upon a time, I had 2 dogs (male and female) who can't bark, don't bite, they don't do anything that other canines do. They run at the sound of gunshot or on sighting thieves. The thieves came in and sacked my community. They took my sandals away, they took my food away, they took my cars ways and stole all the books I bought for my kids.

10 dog years later, this two dogs birthed 2 puppies. This puppies became everything their dog parent never were. They backed at thieves, chase them out of my area, and protected me, my sandals, my food, and cars and the books from theft.

So happy by their birth, I sold the 2 dog parents to my envious neighbour.

My envious neighbour started spreading propagandas that my dogs are responsible for the constant attacks be thief in my community because all the while, my dogs are the first to scamper for safety on sighting thieves. That we must change dogs. That his dogs are better. That we must CHANGE. Then I laugh. Change has already arrived naturally. God changed the dogs and gave me newer dogs. If God says yes, who can say No? Gods change is everlasting.

Didactics.


My community= Nigeria
Me= PDP
My Sandals = Trains, rails and Good roads
The 2 useless dog parents= GMB, Tinubu, etc
The 2 effective dogs = GEJ, Akinwumi Adesina etc
My jealous neighbour=APC
My food= efficient fertilizer assisted grown Maize, Cassava etc
Cars =Innoson Cars
Books= Universities, Almajeri schools etc

Once again. God's change is the best. If God says Yes, who can say No or Broom? [/b]

So PDP gave birth to Buhari and Tinubu- people who have never been in the party for a second- according to your warped logic? Try harder next time.

HzRF:
Daz why I said inec aren't using d best equipment

They are. The card readers are better than the fingerprint readers used at registration. No need to panic as everyone who carries an authentic card but not impersonating, will be verified.

Ngwakwe:
The electoral law as amended states that every eligible voter with a valid card must be allowed to vote and moreover there is a provision for 700,000 amputees in Nigeria to cast their vote hence INEC cannot violate the law by denying any Nigerian who physically comes to polling booth with a valid INEC Card the opportunity to votes for whatever reason.

Once the card is verifif as authentic and the photo matches the holder, I don't think INEC will disenfranchise people who have problems with their fingers. I don't think the verification will be based only on matching fingerprints. They will be verified.

HzRF:
I don't agree with u
When did inec start making decision without putting common man into considerations
How can u expect some1 that farm with crude tool for yrs not to have problems with his finger print

I knw 80yrs even 90 that travel abroad,reg with dia finger print without hitch

If d card reader is truly hi-tech d only types of finger it won't recognized
Are
Fingers with death cell
Fingers with paint as thick as emulsion

If they registered with the same fingers, why should it be difficult to get verified using these same fingers?

snapshot:
INEC is to be held responsible if some persons can not be verified.To verify such persons is not rocket science.It is obvious that JEGA is a
learner,and his naivety could just be our greatest undoing.JEGA and his commission could learn a lot from this site.
howhttp://www.researchgate.net/publication/221356300_Reconnecting_Broken_Ridges_in_Fingerprint_Images

Don't panic, broken finger ridges heals within few days. For God's sake, the ridges were intact at registration. Heal up or stay off. We want to be sure some people are not trying to use other people's card.

Ngwakwe:
Damage done to any finger may be an occupational hazard associated with subsistence farming and some craftsmanship hence there should have been provision for four fingers, any finger from the two thumbs and two index fingers should work.

Why were ten fingers captured during registration?

Were the implementers of this technology myopic to forsee simple techniques my laptop can easily apply.

The blame should be on the card-readers and INEC.

For the sake of this election, everyone should keep his/her fingers in shape. By 2019, the machines will be reconfigured to pass voters with any four fingers confirmed. Not necessarily the thumb and the index, coz if the ridges of other fingers got damaged for the reasons stated above, I doubt that of the thumb and the index would still be in place.

They've been into this line of business before the last election and I don't think the system will accept a finger with badly damaged ridges.
If it was possible in 2011, it's possible now. The h3aling won't take more than 3 days.

snapshot:
what a dumb response to a very sensitive issue such as disenfranchising eligible voters!

INEC can not be held responsible if some people could not be verified because of broken finger ridges.
We should be talking about improving on the method by 2019.

Ngwakwe:
Stop misleading Nairalanders, painted fingers will pass biometric.

Just dip your finger in ink and try it with your Laptop now. It works.

That of Laptop is touch sensitive, it doesn't read fingerprints.
The card readers confirm the card holders by matching their fingerprints with that registered on the card, so any damage done to the fingers( not necessarily henna paintings) will never let it pass.
I will never use razor even a week to the election coz I know it's capable of defacing my fingers.
Whatever happens to our fingers is not INEC's fault.

Whoever the gods want to destroy, they first make mad.
If the Royal Staff of authority of my Hometown is being used to pray for you thus, and you are found wanton (like Jonathan ), na doom o!
