Who want to monitor it with the like of pantami in charge of communication and digital economyhuh?

We need to come to the roundable to decide if we want to continue as Nigeria, the fraud has been on for too long.

Its not farfetched now: President (the head) - dullar
Vice President - Professor of Law with the position of pastor to buy votes in the market square of life
It's a big pity

For those that would be saying that Hackers would hack the servers and change the results,,, I want to know why those hackers have not hacked the Banks servers all these while, or you think those hackers don't need money?
That means, it is only the votes (and maybe perhaps, only the Election Results) that they are interested in?? (as if it concerns them sef)
..

Who told you they have not hacked bank servers?

You think banks will tell you they have been hacked? Banks will never tell you that because they thrive on your trust in them. If they tell you that they have been hacked into, there will be panic withdrawal, and serious loss of customers.

Even when a hacker stole some confidential customer info from Access Bank sometime back, Access Bank denied that their security had been compromised, even after the hacker showed evidence of confidential info.

The best era of Electronic-Voting would be the time when we can vote remotely with our phones without physically having to go to the Polling-units..

And that is: starting with the scanning of the bar-codes on our Voter's Card with our phones, then do fingerprint identification and authentication with our phones, and then vote with our phones, and finally submit our votes online with our phones too..

Nevertheless, this wouldn't stop the manual voting methods at the Polling-units for the sake of those who might not have access to the use of high-end phones, but then, Accreditation and transmission of the results from these Polling-units must both be done electronically by the trained Election Officials.

With these methods properly put in place, the Nigerian Elections can have turnouts as high as 98%, because this would avail a lot of citizens the opportunity to vote from home.

(My Opinion Though...)
(So, what is your own opinion on this??)

Since you said it does not stops the manual voting.

I will do both the electronic and manual the same day of elections.

A good idea. But whichever party that is in power will not allow such transparent system because it will prevent them from rigging.

OP, This country needs people like you. You're a real compatriot.

What this country needs now is not criticisms; What this country needs now is people who will look at the various problems facing the country, critically think about it and provide or suggests solutions to each of them. In fact OP, If I were the president you would have been my special adviser. Keep up the good work


And for other Nigerians reading this, Instead of criticism why not sit down and think out a way to solve the various problems facing the country. This is the only way forward

Thank you my brother for the nice words.
Your words are really encouraging.
..
A lot of people are naturally full of negativity, others are full of bad energy and bitterness, others yet see nothing good in anything, while others have lost faith and hope in Nigeria.
..
They are all allowed to showcase whatever they have inside them.
It takes a good discerning person to see beyond their words and get out the real truths in whatever they're trying to say.

The hackers will be allowed to hack it. I think the incumbent will have sole enjoyment of the hacking.

Even if electronic and remote voting system is adopted, Nigerian politicians will invent new means to circumvent the system such:
* hack the server
* vandalise communication equipments in certain area densely populated by the opposition
* bribe telecommunication companies to cut off network from areas of opposition advantage


Fear Nigerian politicians
Hack which server exactly??
The data technology is going to be like a Blockchain Technology, where hundreds (or even thousands) of servers are serving the same purpose at the same time, and all the servers would be functioning independently.
So, which of the servers would the person hack exactly that would alter the information that are contained in all other servers??
So, I need you to tell me the particular “Server” are you talking about here, which the hacker would hack, and it would affect all other servers??
..
About cutting off the network, the configuration of the transmission in the 2019 General Election was in such a way that it continues to retry non-stop, until it detects the smallest network-signal from any provider at-all (even if the network-signal is from an international provider). So, for how long would they continue to shut down the network in order to prevent the results from that area to be transmitted to the network of servers??
..
And even at that, that lame narrative you proposed above can never be an excuse for them to allow Manual Transmission of the Results.

Re: Electronic-Voting: The Best Type Of Election Suitable For Nigeria And Nigerians by justmondris: 3:29pm On May 06, 2021
Sorry bro this will not work in Nigeria because of the following reasons:

1: What will happen to the millions of citizens that don’t have a smart phone, do you mean they are not eligible to vote?

2: This will make ringing more easier and cheaper for our stupid politicians. All they need to do during election, is to change the voting figures directly from the database that is storing this votes or edit the voting software to their own Favour

3: people will move from house to house with guns and force people to vote for their candidates. No need for this self because the second option is far more easier and cheaper.

No be Inec website them Dey hack any how so?

How many people uses a smartphone in the country?? How many people have access to datahuh How many people can actually use a smartphone??

You expect mama basira and iya chioma who uses a touch light phone to vote?? How?? Buy a smartphone just to vote??

Even the west have not adopted this approach 100%. You want Nigeria with epileptic power supply, network problems to adopt this?? Maybe in next 100 years.

So many questions needs to be answered. However, Nigeria is not ripe for such.
INEC will Never stupid enough Not to consider people like the “Mama Basira and iya Chioma” which you mentioned above.

There will definitely be manual paper-balloting voting options for those that may want to use the option.
There will also be On-site Electronic-Voting options for those that couldn't vote with their phones or mobile devices, but they nevertheless want to vote electronically at the Polling-units.
..
But no matter the particular voting options available for the citizens, the Electronic-Accreditation and Electronic-Transmssion options must be used..
In other words, there should NOT be any excuses for INEC not fully employing the Electronic-Accreditation and Electronic-Transmssion options ...

Manual transportation of the results should be highly and totally discouraged.

Why the hackers have not bn able to hack bank servers is that Bank manager and the ICT head will not easily divulge the secret details to those criminal hackers. They know that the consequences will be dire.

Our politicians will be ever ready to give out such vital info so long as it will make their party to win,
They will bribe the Judges that will sit upon the case.
They will defend the hacker or better still, kill him once the job is done successfully to close all the traces.

In Nigeria what we have is rigging not elections.

Don't deceive yourself by thinking your votes count. It doesn't and never has, right from the days of Obasanjo.

The one person that could have given us elections not heavily infested with rigging was Yaradua. And I don't see any politician with that kind of goodwill in the crop of Nigerian politicians that we have now.
