I feel for this nation, I really do. We deserve someone better than the shoeless jerk.

The level GEJ is pushing us to will have very drastic effect on the wellness of the nation. The annoying thing about it all is the south east who was the biggest victim of the first civil are blindly supporting GEJ to ruin this nation just because they have refused to let go.

When casala go burst, we will all suffer it and with the way things are going, another civil war is very likely.

chukwudi44:


Olodo you are still living in 1967 ,wake up dude. You are no longer in power or in control of the military. Whether you like it or not GEJ will win and rule till 2019 .
That is how you threatened your cocoa and groundnut revolution if elections were shifted and four days after we are still waiting for it

SomebodyLovesMe:


Seriously. The lunacy of some of these illiterates is mind buggling.

Pesuzok:


INEC does not need to tell you their plan B. Allow them conduct the election, i believe INEC has plan B with they want to keep secret so that some people dont start planning on how to foil it.

owobokiri:
Very good development. What is the essence of a card reader that will certify a Jega registered 4 year voter from miaduguri?? Isn't it sinister that Jega is more worried about unregistered voters voting down south while turning a blind eye when infants were being registered up north?? Under-aged voting is as dangerous to the outcome of any election as double voting or direct result inflation! So why is underaged voting, a northern pastime, geting no serious mention in Jegas jaga-jaga war against rigging?

Do you think its only 1 card reader that will be available??

If a card reader doesn't work, then simply use another.......A card reading maching shouldn't be such a big deal to operate.

And you're already calling people "educated illiterates", better check yourself first.

udemzyudex:
if you say so but INEC is not being sincere in the preparation of this election,other elections were held in April why did they bring it to february?

I heard the news this morning,llady was complain about how INEC is trying to exclude them from the coming election by allow them to go for more extra training.

PDP and the Presidency have already made up their minds to rig the forthcoming elections that's why they are frustrating every move for us to get it right. First, they started with election postponement and now this. The cloud is becoming darker and darker for Nigeria at each passing day because of PDP. My advice to everyone is that we must start savings as much as we can because another civil war is possible. Nobody should allow his/herself to be carried unawares. President Jonathan is dragging us to war.

For goodness sake, why is GEJ allowing power to corrupt him absolutely? It is crystal clear that GMB/PYO would make a better pair for Nigeria than GEJ/Sambo, why can't GEJ just give up? Research have also shown that more than 50% of the people that supported GEJ in 2011 are now supporting GMB, why can't GEJ understand this and bow out peacefully? Why do GEJ and his team still want to continue for another 4 years when they know very well that they are a total failure to Nigerians? What does GEJ really want in Aso Rock beyond 2015?

tit:


the umpire has to carry everybody along.
How can the parties train their polling booth agents to know if the"card reader" is working properly?
This technology means you cannot rely on your previous party agents who may be digitally challenged.
Jiga should have carried all stakeholders along with his plans.
Elections are meant to be transparent like Option A4!
Jiga can use a speadsheet in his card reader to dabaru the whole election.
If he is tired, he should go home.

subterfuge:
JONATHAN AND PDP GOVERNORS LIKE AKPABIO DON'T LIKE CARD READERS BECAUSE THEY LIVE AND DREAM OF THEIR TRADITIONAL BEDROOM RIGGING SYSTEM.
I REMEMBER IN 2011 , I WAS OFFERED N15,000 PER DAY TO JOIN IN THUMBPRINTING AND STUFFING BALLOT BOXES IN THE HOUSE'S OF CERTAIN PDP CHIEFTAINS.
IF PDP MUST WIN, THEN JONATHAN WILL REJECT THE CARD READERS.
DESPERATION TO REMAIN AT ASO ROCK TI CONTINUE TO GIVE US
CLUELESSNESS
PERSISTENT POWER FAILURE WITH PRIDE
SCANDALOUS PHCN BILLINGS
UNEMPLOYMENT
CORRUPTION
POOR HEALTHCARE FOR YOUNG AND OLD
NATIONWIDE INSECURITY

He said, “We are not comfortable with the card readers. For example, we have not seen any and we don’t know how it works.

J12:


So all the activities of the INEC should be shrouded in secrecy because they are "independent"?

The PDP is a stakeholder in the elections, they have every right to know about every election process, activity, device, technology etc. This is a democracy!

chukwudi44:


Aboki you think we are scared of your useless "revolution"? Bring it on and let's see if you have monopoly over violence. Whether you like it or not come May 29 2015 GEJ would be sworn in for another four years

Mucokey:


Inasmuch as we ve been so used to disappointment n pessimism in this country, the good news about these card readers is that they can be effectively used n where they fail, INEC already made provision for INCIDENT BALLOT PAPERS to be used for such failed cards.
PDP: Cry me a river!

eye4eye:
Jonathan is in for a surprise. They want to set this country on fire. Jonathan is undermining the independence of INEC.

theV0ice:


They fixed it for February so that court cases arising from the elections could be dispensed with before may 29th.

In any case, the dates were fixed over a year ago, why didn't anybody fault it then? Anyway we've passed this stage as the elections have been postponed to the relief of PDP

udemzyudex:
Yes,he is correct. Inec should tell us their plan B if the card readers fail to work,we have been reading stories how most of these card readers are not working,some staff are just recieving training now. What have they been doing since? There are lots of educated illiterated here on Nairaland.
