You’ve raised a salient point about adequate preparation. But all I’m saying is that tech ain’t 100% infallible. Even in the best of circumstances, 2-3% of the PUs may still experience technical glitches.
So, I wouldn’t totally discard manual transmission of results. In fact, I would propose that INEC should have an administrative rule which would mandate the various party agents to remain at the PUs till e-transmission of results is complete

Every once in a while, mtn has an outage

It is why you need multiple sims

Glo is xxxt in Lagos, but outside Lagos or maybe on campus, they are better. I can barely get through to my son in ekiti on mtn, but Glo is fine. And Glo data is more reliable over there.

And then you have end user abuse. Who is to say a sodiq will not throttle the connection for everyone by choosing that moment to download tinto brass collection?

Left the last born unsupervised on the WiFi and he went through 10gb (that should have gone for 3 more days) in maybe 2 hours

The telcos seem to be laying down the gauntlet tho

Why are you going through my history
Do we really need to throttle data connection knowing fully well our ISP are criminals if they tell you it's 25mbs just divide it by 10.

Ramadan kareem fellow forest enjoyer.

Mbps is marketing wayo
Big looking number that translates to small mb/s downloads.

With your average local isp speed - Something as simple as downloading a torrent and I cannot view anything else while the torrent downloads

I actually messed up a router one time because downloading torrents over WiFi kept causing it to crash. Later i found no issue if I downloaded over lan.

As a naija matter who will prevent polling unit agents from abusing the network provided?

Youth corpers who have been in one bush village with poor Internet and you now provide them with Internet on election day - can you be sure they will behave themselves?

Men are fighting back. There are trending false accusation databases to publicly and forever document women who falsely accuse men of abuse.

Registerher.com

falselyaccuseddatabase.com

Men are filing entries quickly.

Share it amongst your friends

The case which made this go viral was of a 29-year-old Chinese woman, Hao Li, who pursued sex with a policeman then turned around to accuse him of råpé. His only saving grace was him recording everything. She's been jailed for 6 years.

Actress Dorcas Fapson who falsely accused a Taxify driver of rape in January 2019, only for him to be saved by his dashboard cam after he'd been canceled from everywhere, needs to have her name on the register.

Women who falsely accuse men of béatîng them need to have their names go on it too.

Nigerians are suffering. Simple. How is it hard for you to understand?

Oh I get it.

raumdeuter:
The Nigerians that are suffering or enjoying will decide at the polls in the next 12months on the direction they want to go

Spy360:
Is it the Nigerians that their votes will count or the ones that will protest?

A huge protest is coming if the president signs the useless electoral bill.

That protest may see the end of this criminal government

raumdeuter:
Protest is your right, the minority will have their say, the majority will have their way

Spy360:
That's true.

I'll be interested to know who's the majority

raumdeuter:
The majority who voted Tinubu in 2023 and are getting ready to vote him in 2027

Spy360:
The majority in Lagos where he lost or the ones in Rivers and Benue where he rigged? Which one?

Saw a Boeing 747 flying low this morning at Lagos and damn, that jetliner is actually beautiful. I always seem to think it's ugly prolly because of the ugly paint jobs I see of it in the 80s with that painfully ugly TWA airlines livery.

Seeing it a little upclose today changed my perspective. I was on the street trying to buy something this morning and looked up the approaching airplane and saw 4 jet engines— it piqued my interest as I initially thought it was an Airbus A380 by Emirates. As I couldn't see the Emirates name on it and how weirdly quiet the engines sounded compared to the past where I surely knew an Emirates or British Airways plane likely flew past my house because of the painfully loud and powerful sounds from the engines.... I got curious what I was looking at, not until I finally saw the hump, I visually confirmed it was the B-747.

Couldn't really pick the airline flying the plane as I was more concerned identifying what type it was. I just remember a white and light blue Paint job but the name was kinda blocked from my vision down below.

Lovely jet man.

Spy360:
But he rigged Rivers and Benue

PDPGuy:
My fellow B747 fan, I sight you!
I was always fascinated by its size and relative comfort when I took trips to London (BA) and New York (KLM)

BlueRayDick:
Anytime I see a common man like myself that is resident in Nigeria and has lived the last 3 years under Tinubu's administration boasting and making promise to reward him with second term vote, I go just dey laugh in amusement.

Like, since this guy became president you have been buying petrol at almost x4 of the price it used to be. You have been paying more for electricity even though the national grid collapses every eke market day. You have been spending majority of your income on transport and feeding with little or nothing left to save. You find it hard to pay hospital bills in a decent private hospital without having to seek financial assistance from friends and relatives due to high cost of pharmaceutical products and medical supplies the hospitals use. You are even being forced to pay VAT on mobile transfer and USSD transactions you do via your bank account in addition to existing Stamp duty charges.

How do you go around telling anyone who cares to listen that the man responsible all of the aforementioned financial stress is the man you would want reelected for another 4 years? No be juju be that? Some would even boast about how he's a master strategist and legendary politician.... blah... blah.... blah...

I mean you can hardly point out to three ways in which the man's 3 year rule has made any aspect of your life any better than he met it. But somehow you would rather troll others and call them names for not being unreasonable to believe the fable titled " Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria"

We are indeed in amusing times in this country.

Normally I dey "siddon look mode" as things dey go, but I can't but point out how ridiculous it is for a common man who is not a card carrying member of the ruling party to be advancing thought of seeing this government continue to be in power; considering how they have noting to show for benefit of the common man in spite of how much they are taking from us in form of taxes, levies and increment in cost of public goods & services.
