Hahahahaha!

This was the exact thing I told the INEC official training us. Its quite funny that its revealing itself now. These card readers can fuel violence more than the normal ones we're using.

How can you explain to a man that registered in a polling unit that his thumb print cannot be identified or he's not supposed be in a polling unit? And you say the verification process will only span for 4hours. Some of these voters are touts and have low tolerance level.

I told him, if any tout just carry kitchen knife not to talk of gun, I go give am everything to thumb print on. I go even call am winner.

Better correct this mistake now before the D-day.

But Bro, d issue with thumb print..... Wats d functn of d INCIDENT REPORT FORM?

I would stop arguing with them if I were you. Because most of them don't get it. All they know how to do is shout 'Sai Buhari'. When an argument goes above that, they lack what to say.

I bet you, the violence that would have trailed the use of those machines if election day was the first time they were being tested would have been massive. How could they have justified disenfranchising people in Buhari's Kano? And Jega was busy shouting 'we are ready'.

That's the truth, some corps member said they won't partake in the electoral process if the election was to go the way it was planned. Everything was still sketchy.

We should understand that, these process should've been used first for a local government election first before making it nationwide.

you are even a recruited staff and you have started speaking ill of the body that recruited you.The test/mock election was to give inec the idea of the efficacy and ability of the card reader and you as a adhoc staff is already saying rubbish about inec.. You really need to be fired.
The exercise that inec did yesterday was just a test so as flaws and irregularities can be identified and corrected before the D-Day

Go and Fire Him na! You are type who would be eager to compromise your integrity for fear of losing your job or the confidence of your boss...I don't need to be told that you r d 'high service type'. The guy said he complained about pending uncertainty during his training but they never paid attention to him and you are saying he is wrong by letting YOU and I know the attitude of the management of INEC as regards this election? C'mon mehn, show some appreciation and be reasonable.

I remember whilst I was serving in a remote community in KATSINA in 2011, we were the set of corp members that INEC employed as ADHOC staffs to handle registration of eligible voters and during the training, we were cautioned NOT to register anyone below 18yrs and some guys amongst us asked the officials that how would one be sure or be able to say for certain that someone is below 18yrs owing to the fact that most women in the north become mothers before they clock 18yrs....Their response was if we were sure they appeared less than 18 we should deny them being registered.

At my unit, I had no security, just my assistant who understands and speaks hausa and to make matter worse, none of the people in this community is a literate. And there came this tall, fierce looking man who called a CPC Agent, that he was there to witness and observe the registration process...to cut the story short, this same guy mobilised under aged children for me to register. I told him in a calm tone that am obliged only to register people above 18. The man got furious left us and I think headed home, only to come back after a few minutes with a cutlass and started filing his matchette on a piece of stone close to where we were. I was damn scared for my ma life, cos I know had it been anything happened to me, I'd be gone and nobody, I mean NOBODY, not even the president will give a F*CK that I died trying to do the RIGHT thing! And so I told ma assistant to tell him in hausa to go bring back those kids, that I was now ready to get them registered....This was just registration ooooo! Talk more of voting.

If you want to show how patroitic you can be, go to Kano or Bauchi or Borno and represent INEC there with these unrealiable card readers and let's see if you would make it back with your life.

U dey carry Naija matta 4 ur head, when dem leaders no send ur ass.

is a mock election for Pete Sake so 100% success shouldn't be expected. The test was successful here in lagos but failed in kano, inec will now have to work their _asses out to identify the cause of the card reader failure in Kano so that necessary corrections can be implemented.
There shouldn't be any cause for alarm because inec still have about 20 days to make. their necessary corrections

out of 12 states, only 1, Kano has issues now,abi? INEC can go and effect correction on what cld have caused it ,I watched d report on channels TV, dts d only most credible station in nig now, d report I got was 60% of voters dt came out in kano were. successful ,regrettably 40% is high ,I urge INEC to correct d anomaly, but to now stampede d commission to now jettison d card readers is unpatriotic and diabolical...

gsalvatore:
I find it difficult to believe it was 100% successful in Lagos while it was not in Kano and other states. There has to be some level of coverup over there in Lagos( this is Niaja).

Imagine these thing happening if the election held on Feb 14, the voters will revolt oooo..they are not wired to understand all those shits about the card reader and they will be screaming APC or PDP or YDP have rigged the election.

INEC better rectify all this glitches before then..

That's exactly my problem with this APC governed states they always want to cover up what they shouldn't and politicise what shouldn't be politicised one would expect that as a very vocal opposition they would expose the flaws ASAP instead of telling everyone that it was 100% okay when the faults are still inherent we need free and fair elections not ano election that's filled with hitches and malpractices...

Anyway, I prefer Punch's report, which is that it is largely a success.

http://www.punchng.com/news/inec-card-readers-pass-mock-exam/

PDP propaganda. They are just trying to stop the use of card readers to make rigging easy. These card readers don't fail that easily. Battery? yes if it's not charged, but I refuse to believe the brand new card readers malfunctioned 30% of the time. I predicted this before the mock elections

He's a hadoc staff of INEC, I went through the same training. hadoc staff are serving corp members, former corp members or or employees of federal MDA's.

having said that, the problems being encountered with the card readers are majorly human error. the data of voters in each polling unit across the federation is supposed to have been uploaded to the card readers assigned to that polling unit prior to deployment to the field. imagine what happens if wrong data is uploaded or the machines are not properly labeled or a wrong machine is sent to a polling unit.

INEC can overcome these by putting there acts together.

All is well.

coward

Am so sorry for nairalanders they can be so gulible

so tweets of pple paid by pdp and bloggers now the source of news that is not even veirified

I followed up the exercise on channels, tvc even onlone on punch and vanguard
The exercise was adjudged successful it even detected cloned cards in some state

The few problem was in some isolated cases where the card couldnt identify the thumbprint ofsome peopel due to blurred fingers, if u can remember when registering some pple prints are so difficult for the machine to register due to either sweaty palms or other factors and injuries such as farmers, welders

[quote author=ba7man post=31414570]It was in Kano that the card reader performed below expectation. The remaining States recorded success.


This topic tries its best to potray the card reader in negative light which isn't true.


Card readers are the future of elections, the earlier we start using it, the better.
Is Kano the only one u know? what about Ebonyi state? Inec needs to rectify these flaws and fine-tune the process before March 28.

I am not an inec official. I am one of the adhoc staffs recruited for this process. But I tell you, when u see possible mistakes, you can't help but say it.

Thank you bros for being truthfull. Some Nigerians are ready to plunge every one into confusion on that very day just to achieve their personal aim. If we are having a mock election 20 days to the most important election in Nigerian history and by now we can't record 50% success in all the chosen States, I wonder when Inec will contact the manufacturer and they will redesign or alter the machine to the desired standard. I wonder when Inec will conduct another mock election before the election day. I wonder for the past four years, what Inec has been doing with all the funds at their disposal. Its a shame. I keep wondering if this was the readiness Inec was talking about on February 11nth. Where are we heading in this country? Everything is politicized for selfish interest. When are we going to put our Nation first as a country. Watch and see, Some fools will quote me wrongly now.

It is people like you that blocks the progress of this country, so because you are in a system and you notice flaws, you keep quiet to avoid libel right?

Sycophants like you surround politicians and everything they say or do, good or bad is right in your eyes.
I supports Jonathan but I if the government mess up I say it. When government showed lackadaisical attitude towards the Chibok girls and Boko Haram, I was part of the #bringbackourgirls but today I'm celebrating the military success and like always GEJ till 2019.

I don't support GEJ, but I like your objective approach to issues. I am ready to blast APC if they perform below par too.

boy, u don't know kano. Civil war will start that day there if 40% failure is recorded that day there

Am sure you must be Buharist. It's bad for for the AD HOC staff to complain that the machine is malfunctioning but IT'S NOT BAD FOR A CITIZEN OF NIGERIA TO MAKE MOCKERY OF HIS DEAR NATION AND PRESIDENT. Nigerians are really deceiving theirselves ... #Akpanikor!

Saying the truth is something to be ashamed of now right? So he should keep quite and let Nigerians feel that all is well. What do you stand to gain if Nigerians are told lies? You talk about mock elections, aren't we supposed to register @ least 50% success in all the chosen States? It's just 20 days to the presidential election and Inec has to go back and either remodel the card reader or find a solution and still carry out another mock election. What have they been doing for the past four years with all the funds available to them. Three days before elections was postponed, Inec kept saying they are ready and now even after the postponement, 20 days to the new date, they are still not ready. I wonder how you folks find the moral justice to live and peddle lies and enjoin others to follow you. Nigerians deserve the truth @ anytime except if such affects the national security of the country. You may quote me the normal way your folks do but I have made my peace.

this ediot, can u just shut d hell up? I tot you and your papa tinubu say that you are ready. That card reader is 100% zero tolerance for failure.

And then when myself talked of card readers,i got some mentions telling me they were perfect..i knew dis tin can be manipulated nd it malfunctions...God dint make it so it can still help politicians to rig elections so?










.its not neccessary....they should think if someway beta Dan dis

I'm worried about your comments, recall that this same INEC said they were ready 100% for Feb 14, so had it been that there was no postponement how could they have discovered these flaws you talk about now? Was there any plan initially for mock prior to feb14. How could INEC have managed this if they went ahead to conduct this election as earlier scheduled. Let us be objective when we want to make comments cus one day you will still cry foul of same institution you are pontifying now.

PDP Carried many fake PVCs and so they couldn't be authenticated by the card reader. They purposely brought them so as to create a false display of the card reader's inability.
When INEC trained us, all the PVC's that were around were authenticated!

Truth be told. As one of those that participated in the Card Reader's training, the device will ensure credible, free & fair polls but its rather TOO SENSITIVE. Such device shld not have been made to be screen touch as their is a button which when touched(either in error or wharever) ends the accreditation process. According to the trainers, there is nothing anybody can do about such situation(even their staff cannot rectify it) . Assuming u have only accredited ten voters and such error occur, what story will u tell the rest voters on queue. Do u know what it mean to disenfranchise an eligible voter with authentic PVC?. God help us.
