The one major problem we have in Nigeria is ignorance.

The opposition leaders are not ignorant, they know what they are asking for cannot work, but they also know the kind of followers they have, they those set of things don't think,they know whatever they say will be taken hook-line-sinker.

Ask them how many of the 1st world countries with centuries of advanced tech than Nigeria are doing real-time and they won't be able to mention.....

Many are ignorant of the true meaning of words "Compulsory" and "real-time" in this context



Please can you show us where the countries who are doing it "REAL-TIME" and "COMPULSORY"......

Well these guys pushing you lots know you won't take note of those two words
If countries like Finland and Switzerland had citizens like you, they would've become failed countries. Tueh! Tufiakwa! Mpama.

Nigeria real time results,v just jamb that did real time results, the 19 years old girl from Anambra still alter it.
Imagine. So let's keep BVAS aside so that the 95 years old man from Irigbija will alter 2027 election results recklessly as he did in 2023.

That is what they don't want. We.should not be in a hurry to end election violence. Real time will end ballot snatching

Nigeria's internet coverage is put today at about 40-45% ...

Meaning more than half is yet to be covered.

Why not give a time frame for results to be uploaded in areas where there is no network....say, 3 hours after elections...for example.

Results can be snneped and stored and it will synchronize automatically where you have network...just as the BVAS works as of now.

Putting the clause Real Time....will subject the clause to many legal interpretations... because, the real time is not yet workable.
Guy you dont need internet to transmit results electronically!
As long as there is phone network, it can be done within seconds!
Re: Nigeria Not Ready For Real-time Transmission Of Election Results – Shagari by MyExpression(m): 7:32am On Feb 07
We all wish we are ready, but how do we authenticate the system?
How tamperproof is it?

Well, we eventually have to test it, in order to make progress.
There may be peculiar litigations after the elections but that's the only way our democracy, and civilization can grow.

Please mention them

Iran have a Jewish population of more than any other country in the Middle East after Israel. Iran is also one of the most Christian populated country in the Middle East with over half a million Christian population and an active over 600 Churches across the country.
If Iran was fighting Judaism and Christianity,it would have started from it's own backyard.

Iran is resisting Zionism and also fighting Imperialism,not Christianity and not Judaism.

But the media has successfully brainwashed us to believe otherwise.

Invoking America only when it’s convenient has become a familiar escape hatch. Yes, even advanced democracies face electoral challenges, but they also show accountability, institutional consequences, and steady improvements in governance, infrastructure, and public welfare. You can’t cherry-pick America’s flaws to excuse Nigeria’s failures while ignoring the dividends of governance that make those systems resilient. You can’t cite America’s imperfections to justify delay while ignoring what makes its system work. After decades of elections, Nigerians shouldn’t be told to “be patient” again. On transparency, it should be clear: real-time transmission of results or nothing. Excuses are no longer acceptable. Is this just too much to ask from these bunch of buffoons? With over 30 States Governors, they are still scared, I bet they should be!
Re: Nigeria Not Ready For Real-time Transmission Of Election Results – Shagari by theforemost: 7:56am On Feb 07
Zo consume the world, the ZIONISTS had to turn Christians against the Muslims. They did ALL atrocious crimes the world never had of as dictated by Israel to blackmail world leaders amd force them to be merciless, heartless.
The first people they consumed was the Christiandom. And then its a free falling.
ALL pastors in affluence and wealth are actually jews pretending to be Christians.
I hope the Muslim world would never see these as from Christians for NO true christian was involved. It was all based to WIPE put Palestinians to ZERO and the world would not be able to do ANYTHING

Baba this people budgeted about 1.5 trillion for election. South Africa budgeted way less and there was real time transmission of results. If SA can do it we can do it too.

Very lame excuse. To transmit election result in real time is no big deal, its not much different from downloading and uploading a WhatsApp message, all you need is mobile device and an Internet connection. So the senator is just making silly excuses.

Re: Nigeria Not Ready For Real-time Transmission Of Election Results – Shagari by Xmen149(m): 8:05am On Feb 07
Long overdue.

The villages without internet they can start making the arrangements now .

They can also have a central transmission hub for those villages just near the villages where internet is.

The old league will always continue to hold the country down if these reforms are not made and adopted

Young man, Nigeria is not ready for what they are demanding for.
Most of you don't even know you are demanding for.

When you say Real-time it means it can not be uploaded hours after, when you say compulsory it means any results the isn't uploaded realtime becomes invalid.

Now that invalidates results coming from rural areas with access to network.

And the world compulsory makes any votes collated manually invalid.

Lack of basic education has actually destroyed the young people in this country.

They are many villages around the country without network access.
Don't villages will not be able to upload the results real-time and even if they take the papers to the centres or INEC office, the results will not be accepted because they are not real-time.....

You young people should think, exercise your brains
What are you blabbing about?


Someone like you is not supposed to have access to Internet Honestly.


Realtime transmission of election results (snapped election results sheet not even figures which makes it impossible to rig) is possible because it will be done once within few minutes or even seconds.


Realtime transmission means after the polling unit concludes voting, the INEC collation officer there snap the result sheet before everybody present, switch on his device and an internet transmitter which will connect directly to starlink network or even three alternatives, and within a minute the polling officer has transmitted the snapped polling unit result sheet to the central INEC server accessible to all Nigerians to view and note down.


So where does this some villages does not have internet network comes from? Starlink network is in space covering all over earth, all you need is the starlink internet accessories to access it which will be provided to every INEC polling unit official.


This evil and backwardness you guys are supporting because you believe it will favor your tribesmen currently in power, it will affect you one day, keep supporting evil with unfounded excuses

The US example is the most silly and insincere excuse ever. The election he was referring to was an election held in 2000, when mobile devices were rudimentary and Internet services practically unavailable or very cumbersome. The election dispute was in a few districts in one state Florida. This senator is now using that minor one time dispute to excuse Nigeria using an archaic and fraudulent electoral system that encourages rigging.

Starlink network is available all over Nigeria, even in war torn countries, all you need is to buy the starlink internet network accessories and you already have Internet in any village.


INEC can partner with starlink to customize a smaller size starlink internet network hub that every INEC polling unit official will carry to his or her polling unit to use to transmit the polling unit election results to INEC central server after voting.


This thing is not rocket science.

We are not even talking about electronic voting, just transmitting the polling unit election result in realtime to central server and these corrupt criminals are making it a big deal just because APC already planned to rig the 2027 election.



It's unfortunate there is no nationwide outrage to shutdown Nigeria and force National Assembly to implement this because that is what majority of Nigerians want, if it fails let it fail and we can learn from there and refine it in next election

Don't mind them, very evil minded people. They don't care if the country burns, as long they benefit from the chaos. I am sure Elon Musk would provide free or subsidised star link services if the government asks just to cover election periods, or international bodies can pay for it, if the government says they can't afford it. But then we know INEC and APC would do anything to sabotage the elections.
