Network is not working in 9 states due to insecurity, but bandits are posting their activities online in those states and contacting the families of their victims to pay ransom through phones...

This is one of the best comments so far here. It's obvious that they want to rig the election.

This is the worst in the history of Nigeria

Zionmdde:
But there are banks there

I forgot, those banks use ledger and post office to deliver debit and credit mails


Upon tinubu is the candidate all Nigerians are vying for, they are still afraid to conduct a simple free and fair election

Please how many times have you been to the bank and they told you that there's no network?

immaculatesense:
I thought NYSC should have exposed some of you beyond your states and local government na.
Oh sorry, not all of your graduated from school or had opportunity to serve.
I served in Ebonyi state in Ezza North to be precise just a little less than 10 years ago and I can say authoritatively that there was no single bank in the whole of Ezza North at the time. We had to go to Abaliki before we could make withdrawals. I knew how many kilometers we had to trek just to make a call, we couldn't even receive calls because there were no network. How will REAL TIME transmission of results work in those areas? Or election should not hold in those areas abi?
So, if them ask you no, you go answer say banks dey all local government in Nigeria abi? Dey there.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

They dont make phone calls there too right and no POS? So how did they register for the Voters card? Why did you spend years in school if you don't know there can be wifi and other digital alternatives to network?

Burob:
Don’t mind them, they don’t know what they are asking for, like I told o guy The Senate approved electronic transmission, it just gave the discretion to the Eyeneck to make the decision based on the circumstances if for any reason it cannot be transmitted electronically, it should be done manually.

The wailers in their ignorance are shouting electronic transfer or nothing, so if for any reason the results cannot be transmitted electronically, it should be discarded & inadmissible as evidence in a court of law in their view?

Does it mean that all that is budgeted for INEC is just for printing papers?

immaculatesense:
It shows that you are immature by pointing out a minor typographic error 'you' turned 'your'.
If I were to pick yours out, you didn't use punctuation (period/full stop) where necessary in both first and second paragraphs of the response to mine. Should I also capitulate on that to conclude that you never graduated? Come off it boy. It's unnecessary.
Back to the point.
Let me oblige without conceding that the environment has developed positively. What about other environments that are worse that are worse than that? Should we neglect those ones too?

No Be Juju Be Dat?

All these because you have an incompetent thief as brother in Aso rock

Burob:
Go & use your money to fix it, who is holding u back?

Why are you against E-transmission of results?

If not for rigging

press9jatv:
His justification is highly wrong here. The network in the 9 states can be fix. We are in the digital world.

The man is making a very valid point. Even some of us at city don't have network sometimes.

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

Hahahaha!

Zionmdde:
And how many mb do u need to upload a sheet of paper?
So in order to upload a sheet of paper Nigeria needs to get to full network security level?

Na wa oooo, human beings indeed

Lol see how you’re talking like it’s that straightforward to upload sheet of paper. 😂 Technology implementation isn’t as easy as talking. As I mentioned earlier I speak as Network personnel of years experience, not politics ok.

I rest my case.

Based on what you've written here, I want to believe that you're in your late 30s, early 40s, or 50s depending on how early you had your NYSC. So, I'll blame this level of reasoning in response to the accountability of an obvious lie on your age.

It will be sad if you're in your 30s, honestly!



Modified: Reading more of your comments now and I'm highly disappointed! People really engaged you, and a few of them mentioned thought-provoking statements. This is not even about picking party sides, but the mindset. It is well with you and your generations

Imagine what a so called Senate president is vomiting from his mouth as a reason.

Shameless crooks , they think we don't know their plans.
Nigerians and the international community must insist on real time electronic transmission of results.

The nine states have governors, banks, and many companies who use the Internet daily now it comes to election akpabio is talking rubbish.

tinubu and APC are afraid of loosing the election because they know that the people have rejected them

[quote author=Gajagojo post=138404101]The question is if we legislate for it and they come and say glitch
Do we cancel the election
I hope we can get a yes or no answer[/quote. So u believe that there is Noooo network in 9 state truly..I don't think So if u say there is limited network in some areas but is fixable, but No network in 9 state haha APC eberu Olorun...

They will avoid this your post. But in their defense, we once had the news where they said the bandits don't use Nigerian SIMs that's y they're untraceable. So maybe since they don't operate with Nigerian SIMs, they still manage to roam with networks not functioning in Nigeria.

Me sef don confuse.

Lol, one just have to be 🧠less to defend some of these things the APC throws at us

Why hasn't it been fix since all these years from PDP administration when insecurity started?
Or
Why hasn't our National Grid been fix since all these years from PDP administration when it started collapsing?

What has not been fixed in almost 30 years should now be fixed in one year because one tribe has never been elected president and you want it badly either by hook or by crook.
Go fix am na.

You mean they use firewood to connect their phones before making calls instead of the telecommution services that uses the Internet for connection, abi dem no dey use phone for those 9 States...na why una just mmummu like this?

The mistake most blacks make is to think about today and forget about tomorrow. At the moment, all of you are fixated on the fear of losing election at the federal level. Sustainable development is about not cutting off the future for today. E transmission doesn't mean Tinubu will lose. Even if he does or doesn't, we have states, and federal elections. We have elections where Igbos are contesting against Igbos and Yorubas against Yorubas. APC is not your home. Almost all the past crooks are back to APC from PDP and many will still cross to the "new heavens" tomorrow. Yaradua publicly admitted that the election that brought him to power was marred by irregularities and started the electoral reform immediately. That's what good leaders do. This power doesn't stay constant. The constant thing should be the development of the country.
Back to his excuse and your excuse. There are areas you need to cross water to conduct election in Nigeria. Have we cancelled the booths there because of bad or no roads? It's like saying because some students are not computer literates we should not do computer based tests. The shout for reform, restructuring have died and I hope you don't pick up the slogan again after 2027 or 2031. It's not even as if the manual will be jettisoned. The collation will still be done with the manual copy and the real time, just like Bivas is to verify that the numbers at the pooling booths are the same at the collation center where most of these criminals (that do not care for you and I) do their dirty magic. Grow up!

This nation is in the hand of Almighty God.
I pity our politicians, for the day God will arise to vindicate his people, it will be terrible on all evil men and women in nigeria

Lol.
But there is network when they want to receive funds from FG.
No wam.

If there is no network in any area the results should be processed manually. And the areas that have network the result should be transmitted online. 9 states shouldn't drag others back.

[b]I wonder how old you guys are and your level of education !


Let me attempt to help you a little bit, perhaps, you will have a grasp of the issue at hand. During the last election INEC had 176,974 Polling Units across the nation. Since then, more have been added.

INEC does not have its own dedicated national internet network that can be deployed across all the 176,974 Polling Units. The electronic transmission that you are clamoring for, rides on the regular internet backbone that is provided by the telecoms companies (MTN, GLO, AIRTEL, 9 MOBILE and etc).

So, by talking about deployment of Starlink internet modem, do you have an idea of how many would be required and how much each unit would cost ? Does this make sense to spend the enormous amount of money on a technology that would be needed just for one day, every 4 years ?

So, the electronic transfer of results cannot be inscribed in the constitution but rather left to INEC to conduct the election, as it deems it fit and transmit the results to the IREV portal, wherever possible in real time and in other instances, within a maximum of 72 hours after the election has taken place.

Ekpeitut:
This is just intellectual laziness.
A simple research will show that Elon Musk's starlink satelite services and others are able to provide a stable Internet connection even in the most remote locations.

Well Nigerians pay you lots to bring solutions so you better justify your jombo salaries.

Isn’t that why apc said they will fix it of elected ? Apc has been in power for 12 years now why can’t they fix it.

Burob:
Go & use your money to fix it, who is holding u back?

Is it that you didn’t see the way S/Africa conducted their election or is it that you love the way your country is ?

Hedonisco:
How brain damaned do you have to be to talk about the PDP that left power 11 years ago? You people are despicable.

They just come here and be capping what we don't know.

Is this a working system to a sane mind? Most of these apc data boys are definitely insane

So, watin do starlink ?

Sibrah:

bluebay:

Isn't that a shame that there's no network in 9 states of the federation in 2026?
