HumanoidX:
Honestly.
As a man, a husband, and a girl dad, it is disgusting and disappointing to read all the nonsense. I also dare to say that majority of this thread are either rapists themselves or rape apologists. It is sickening.

So sickening and quite shameful. One of the reasons we see this kind of nonsense is the lack of any real/reasonable moderation on this platform. Nairaland is becoming too toxic

CaveAdullam:
1. Celebration of materialism, entertainment, and theatre are potent signs of a declining or failed society.

2. These young people will never celebrate the young man striving to survive on the street, they will look down on the young girl hawking her merchandise to make ends meet. Because their lives are not flashy, they don't exude a perfume of luxury and greed. But one thing you can't take from these men and women is the wisdom and strength birthed out of their life's struggles and experiences.

3. Younger minds of today have been bastardized by every show of flashiness, there lies their dopamine hit. They are myopic, lazy, complacent, and vapid because they don't value what's not glamouring like gold. Their rights have been taken away from them via entertainment, but they will accuse, rush and attack you when you bring this to their notice.

4. Their role models are fraudsters, prostitutes, sociopaths, the corrupt, weak, arrogant, and neurotic. These are their golden calves, their gods, and their oracle.

5. Flexing wealth is always a sign of low IQ except it is a result of official duties. The dumb and low in intelligence flex wealth because it veneers their feebleness and drawbacks because they lack what's true: wisdom, character, integrity, competence, kindness, modesty, brave, assertiveness, confidence, and courage. These qualities are not flashy and will not be glorified by the generations of dumb fellows.

6. Flexing wealth is one thing, but having the capacity to protect your life after the flexing is the most vital because you have awakened sleeping demons and devils that reside in manipulations, greed, envy, and jealousy. A case of penny wise pounds foolish.

7. Will I say, unfortunately? Ironically, a society that needs growth, truth, and freedom is the same society that will jettison and throw immaterial transcendental virtues under the bus when it comes to beautiful looks, flashy cars, designer clothes, fanciful gadgets, shining jewelry, and polished shoes. A weak generation indeed!

Sigh.

You are blessed..

I shudder at the knowledge that people like you exist in this world. I fear for the girl children of these days....

Doyou2019:
Saying the strike is losing its relevance is like saying the drive to get our universities working is losing its relevance.

Your government spends over 1 trillion every quarter servicing moribund refineries, turns around to tell you it cannot afford a miserly 1.2 trillion to revitalize education in the country, and you buy it hook and sinker like a naive little boy who's just starting out life No be juju be that?

Make we dey try reason for this country na. Future generations should sha do the country a favour by training their kids to be thinkers.
There are way too many idiots on here for one country.
Kilode!

A bundle load of nonsense. #1.2 trillion is miserly? You are just funny.

porka:
You are probably too young or new to public discourse.

It was precisely because of what you said in the bolded part that electronic accreditation and transmission of results were designed.

The reason was to prevent false figures from being recorded at the polling stations and at the collation centers.

Manual recording on a sheet of paper were found to be the main rigging tools of politicians. They input fictitious numbers and claim they have been voted. Another major area was addition of fictitious figures at the collation centers and declaring bogus figures.

But the recent Electoral Act took care of a major aspect of those. The law was used for the 2 recent elections in Ekiti and Osun with relative success and transparency.

It was the result of that transmission that someone was able to see the handwriting on the wall as early as 4pm and quickly left to attend an irrelevant meeting in Abuja.

Nobody has complained of the new system not working at this time. The loser in the recent election has not said anything about electronic transmission. The case they are filing at the tribunal didn't say anything about how the results were transmitted

Why then is Festus Okoye mentioning manual collation again? Why does he want us to go back to the old system when the new one has not shown any problem? He is not dumb, he is not stupid or mad. He is sane and has experience as a lawyer of many years standing. When you hear such things from such people, your instinct should tell you that there is a sinister, evil and dark motive behind it.

By the way, have you read INEC's response to the heavy backlash they received from the public? Did you read what they have to say? Read it and see your folly. And learn how to reason well before agreeing with government positions.

If everyone behaves like you and agrees with what the government says every time, don't you think you would be in one slave camp by now eating agbado and cassava?

Is any system error free? Absolutely not. But haven seen that the new system has shown an improvement on the old order, Nigerians would so stupid to fold hands and be watching like zombie when the umpire is betraying an agenda.

Make no mistake. The fact that you don't see me often comment on issues here doesn't mean I read and understand so shallowly as some people here, who want to have an opinion on everything and cut a witty figure.

The electronic system was not meant to check the rigging of election result at the polling units, but also between the time it leaves there and arrive at the collation centre. With all your "years and experience on public discourse", the least I except is that you will know that most of the rigging aren't done at the polling units, but during transit from polling units to collation centres. That's what e-transmission is mostly designed to check.

Again, they aren't changing anything. It's exactly the same thing they did in Osun and Ekiti that they still want to do. Nothing has change. Or did the returning officers read the results from the inec e-transmission website to declare a winner? No. Like every other election before this, they collated what was on paper, using the e-transmitted result to confirm it authenticity before they declared the winner.

The e-system is meant to be used for confirming and and correcting where it has been decided there's need for it. This is its function and always will be.

As for the outcry, it's unnecessary and happens because too many Nigerians, like you, read without understanding, and are quick to find someone to blame for anything and everything. Not to mention their need of wanting to have a say on everything.

And lastly fellow, make no mistake, no one can behave like me and you definitely don't know me. The fact that I'm not fanatical in my ways, beliefs, or the seeming hate or love you're displaying, doesn't mean I support the government in anything.

Just for your education, INEC is an independent institution. They don't take directive from anyone, expect the constitution and relevant laws.

porka:
Dr. Einstein with full understanding, why is INEC putting emphasis on that at this time?

Have they not conducted elections with the said Electoral Act?

What did they not do then and suddenly found the reason to do now?

Why can't they simply refer to the two recently conducted elections in Ekiti and Osun as examples?

Did you even read the post you are making comments on?
Did you read what you typed before you posted it?
You said votes will be manually counted at the collation centres again.
Do you know what collation centres mean?
Do you know the logistics involved in recounting the votes again at the collation centres?

For the sake of your understanding, it is the results of the votes already counted and transmitted at various polling stations that are taken to the collation centres for manual addition.
Other words for collation are combine, accumulate, aggregate.

What INEC is saying is that they will still rely on the RESULTS WRITTEN IN A SHEET OF PAPER (FORMS) to do their collation.
They are saying that they would recourse to their electronically generated accreditation as a backup.

And that is where the problem lies.
There might not be any disputes and the results would be allowed to pass even if what is written in their so-called FORM is different from what they posted electronically.

Parties' agents could be bribed, coerced, intimidated, threatened with violence, chased away, injured etc. Officials and the security agents could be compromised.

Why can't they simply use the electronic results for the collation? That is the question.

Do you understand now?

Always make efforts to think for yourself anytime you read anything.
Agreeing with anything without making a a critical assessment makes you look gullible.

Learn to question things and make an intelligent evaluations before agreeing, it will save you money, dignity and even your life.

I commend your effort at trying to appear intelligent, but you are wrong. The collation of results has and will always be manual. The electronic platform has and will always be used as a corrective tool and not the main things.

We have laws governing elections, you know. As far as I know, the current law doesn't make room for the removal of manual collation in favour of using electronically transmitted result as collated results. The e-transmitted results will be used to confirm each and every single unit. So, inec is doing the right thing.

Why should inec depend on the transmitted result only when elections and results can be manipulated at the polling units. How then can we be sure we are not accepting rigged result and false figures? Abeg make una rest.

Nigerians will just keep looking for someone to blame for something, in advance of their possible failure

Millimann:
Now that the Obi movement is gathering momentum, collation will now be done manually.

Before now they said he is inconsequential but now they're scared.

Some Nigerians sha. Since the history of elections in this country, when have we not collated results manually? Point me to one country in the world that has dropped the manual collation of results??

othermen:
It wasn't ASUU's fault that the FG reneged on its agreement with the union & since 2009. In Labor law, terms of collective bargaining are usually upheld. With ASUU, one such is, for no victimisations of the other party.

That said, lecturers have been researching, publishing & learning- with the meagre they are suffered and have been doing so in a bid to come back to class better equipped to impact their students. The victimisation of 'no work, no pay' will not weaken the resolve of ASUU as a union.

To be clear, ASUU will not grant the precedents the FG is asking. The FG reneged on its contract; Did no act, they are sluggish now to take; & act in bad faith by this most recent illegal request to forfeit. In the duration of this strike, lecturers, their dependents have died in no salary. to buy drugs or to get proper healthcare. All of this have strengthened the resolve of the union members.

What they fight for is the soul of this nation. That you get a worthy education. So if ASUU's demand is for a better welfare; you should know that you'd get better value from a lecturer who can meet his daily needs. Granting the request toASUU's demand will not afford its members a luxury life. All is for the students- to have good facilities & dedicated lecturers & reduce the insane brain drain we are suffered.

Now, it was after all means available of getting the FG to act were exhausted, only after that- did the union resort to strike action. The FG heedless actions and non-actions caused the strike and continues to sustain it. This posture is dangerous and will not augur well.

You must understand that whatever compromises FG has made to make ASUU reconsider its strike action, they could have taken such actions months and months ago---- and so now the issue will continue and the resolution will be the FG acceding to ASUU's request rescinding the precedents they demand. How many lecturers or their dependents will have died by then? How many years in the students lives would have been wasted on an ego driven and clueless lots of misadministration?

If this is the price for the soul of our nation, if this is the price to pay- so that our tertiary institutions stop decaying from within- till it reaches its climax and collapse just as you have with education at the secondary level; if this is the price, then woe to the Administration, and as it is to us as a nation to suffer the woe of our leaders; we know the dividend of the struggle shall be worthy fruits.

Bro, no disrespect, but you dey talk rubbish. Under which labor law is it okay to vacate your office for almost a year and still paid for it?

If you actually believe ASUU cares about any of us, you have a lot to learn bro. ASUU Is fighting for its interest and its interest alone. We do not come into play, other than as bargaining chips for ASUU.

Even if lecturers are earning #4m monthly, they still won't do any better than they are doing now. The decadence in the education sector will still continue. So bro, wake up. The federal government have been evil in their actions, but ASUU is no better.

It's only logical that if you don't do the job, you don't get paid for it. That's not victimisation, it's justice and fairness to all the other federal workers who works in that six months

A man has no right whatsoever to yell at a woman that all she's good for is sex and cooking. My dear, you married wrong. For your own sake, what away from that marriage

My dear, having read your story, I can tell you there was nothing accidental about what transpired that night. Maybe you didn't plan to cheat on your husband before you got to the house, but that was the only thing in your head, once you saw this ex.

Even teenagers know enough not to share a room with an ex. But you not only shared a room, but you also shared a mattress, and except me to believe any of what followed was accidental? As if that's not enough, your husband called why you were in the act, and your response was to turn off your phone because all you wanted to do at the time was focus on cheating on him. If it was accidental at all, any call will be enough to distract you and give you time to come to your senses, not to talk of that of your husband. But all you could do was switch it off. My dear, you are a cheat and you do not deserve the man you are with.

Why do I say so? I'm very certain you didn't feel any guilt after the whole thing. The only reason you are feeling guilty now is that your husband has been so loving that you can't even find a reason to justify the evil act, whether introspectively or retrospectively. You have come to see that he deserves a better woman, that's why you feel guilty.

Too bad, he will probably forgive you if you tell him. You don't deserve that much. No cheater does

SmartPolician:
Although Ihedioha is not any better, Imo people will never forgive the Supreme Court idiots who foisted a known fraudster on the state against the will of the people.

Sadly, they cannot even sack him next year because that judicial miscarriage has altered the state's election calender.

I still don't understand exactly how it happened. I don't know how Supreme Court justices could so flagrantly trash on our laws and constitution to install a fraud

MMM: WHAT PARTICIPANT KNOW BUT WON'T ADMIT

MMM which stand for mavrodi moneybox is a ponzi scheme which delve into Nigeria in the year 2016, clearly to capitalise on the hardship brought upon the Nigeria people by its govt. MMM promises a 30% ROI of any amount, with an extra registration bonus of 20% if you register with a sum more than #17000.

December 14th 2016, MMM introduced a 30-day freeze, not quite sure what that fully means but I do know it means that one can't not cash out( or request help as they put it) one's money for the said period, having known this, here's a list of know but don't admmit of the unofficial MMM community:

1. MMM is not an investment scheme: MMM has stated it that its not an investment scheme, but people still put their hard earned money with the hope of receiving a 30% interest or profit. Have ever asked yourself, where does it come from? Well its sane as borrowing from the entire city to pay the landlord. They pay old investors with new investors money.

2. MMM will eventually crash: minority of participant know this but they gamble and take their chances just telling themselves with some sort of faith that it is not crashing anytime soon. The more money paid to the old investors, the more money owed the intermediate investors and as a result people will start to lose their trust in The scheme, this will lead to reduction in number of new investors as well as money invested. This will only help compound issues as the number of owed investors will continue to rise and with no Money in the system to pay, down it will come crashing.

3. When it does crashes, the new investors will lose their money to the old investors : robbing the Paul's to pay just people, probably for everyone paid, five, ten or fifteen if not more are owed, and the owed will be the new investors. Thus when it does crash gone are the money of the new investors ( who are in the majority) and in the hands, purses, wallet and pocket of the old investors will they be.

Now that a freeze has been announced;

4. This freeze that MMM has imposed is what translated to it crashing in SA and Uganda: this same word freeze is what was told the SA participant b4 they realised their money was gone(pls come on, you don't expect them to tell you that the system is crashing, do you?).

5. If it does come back by some magic: all the money inserted in the system will be gone( at least that's what I I think). And even if it doesn't, following the word of MMM Nigeria no 1 gilder, the freeze comes when there's too much panic in the system, but how does a website recognise panic? Simple, almost everyone is asking for payout and there's no money to grant all the request, thereby imposing a freeze. If this freeze doesn't tell you that MMM Nigeria is gone, it should tell you that it days are highly numbered.

Final advice to all MMM participant: ............................... .
Hope this post wasn't stupid.
