Amen ooo.
I have no issues with those parties even though am pro apc to an extent, there is always a line. I just fear for those supreme court rulings, they are sometimes crazyy. Pls kindly get this movie if you haven't watch it, 12Angry Men- death in their minds, life in their hands, it's a 1957 movie but applies to legal event till date.
Do you know if the previous female cjn was the cjn during the 2003 or 2007, can't remember exactly which, but I think it should be 2007election, that election would have been cancelled, the vote was splited, with the woman raising a fierce argument against that election and some other justices changed their stand, the cjn simply casted is vote in favor of the election by saying it is in the interest of the public to do so, that it's more costly to cancel that election compared to any other cost that might have been incurred during the election.
Like I said earlier, I think they to adjust, that's why I love Obaseki, Esho, Oputa and those in their days, they are radical justices that will not allow you to work/walk into technicalities to get judgment.
I hope this administration will address that and those in the parliament will support because they are my 2nd fear after judges.
God help us.

Amen

D simple question is does the Electoral Act recognise the use of the card readers? ?? If not den it's an opportunity to amend it so INEC can get to work and get it right once and for all. Since elections still went on even when the card readers failed during the elections, d card readers cannot b said to b solely relevant then.

Also answer this, does the electoral act recognize the use of electronic registration using digital photography and finger print capturing devices? If supreme court quarrels with electronic verification, it must quarrel with electronic registration, electronic storage and electronic compilation of results also.

Does the inec guidelines super cede the electoral act

does the constitution empower inec to make guidelines and non-compliance with these guidelines renders the process invalid?

Lol... Oga listen to urself naaaa... Electronic storage and electronic compilation like seriously? If dey were using electronic storage and compilations they wouldn't need to wait for commisioners to come with results for announcement of the various wards and subsequent calculations on live TV with calculators. But my point is dis, elections went on in all areas even wen d card reader malfunctioned and didn't recognise fingerprints. INEC had to resort to manual verification of voters and eventually went ahead to conduct elections even without the card readers. Instead us making baseless claims online, I think we should all wait for d supreme court to come out with it's reasons for ruling as such. I have heard reputable lawyers argue for and against the ruling both on live TV and online which means d supreme court ruling may not b far from the truth. Make una leave trash for LAWMA.

This SC judges ain't seen anything yet.
They will continue being rubbished in electronic,print and social media,for that fraud they call a judgement,till they confess or are so shamed that they cannot show their faces in public again.

illiteracy is a serious disease.
why r we so quick to attack the justices n not the lawyers, the sans who defended n presented their cases?
why shud we attack the supreme court justices over the judgement they gave when someone who defended wike, and also told the court that card reader was not the sole basis for accreditation n also it was just a test run to check its efficiency in the just concluded election. wole olanipekun delivered wike won the case, this same lawyer was on the side of apc, d same premise rivers apc took to the tribunal that there was no election, there was over voting, card reader was not used for accreditation n there was massive killingsin rivers state, that same premise was what akwaibom apc took to the tribunals. wole olanipekun won n ddfended wike with the same premise, d same lawyer was on the side of apc in akwaibom case, abeg how could he have won bros?
stop attacking the supreme court justices cos e no go change d verdict. instead attack the lawyers n sans defending these people.

Dakad:
I do have a major problem with way will react to these supreme court latest judgment. Most APC sympathizers are pained because it didn't go their way while PDP sympathizers are in support of the judgment. However only few( very few) are analyzing the judgment dispassionately. But my fair is this except our electoral acts is amended in conjunction with this constitution, we may end up with one party system like OBJ era come 2019. I will strongly recommend that well meaning Nigeria and PDP( the so called opposition party) should be in the lead to ensure CARD READER is more efficient and enshrine in our constitution. If not APC may laugh last regards the latest supreme court judgment come 2019 and Nigeria may end up being the loser and this will set us back like 50years which we don't pray for.
In as much I hate to say this, GEJ lost election basically bcs of the CARD READER. We all know the enormous power of federal might especially as regard the election in this country

gej didnt lose because of card reader, he lost becos kano, sokoto, kwara, niger, jigawa, kebbi states which were all pdp states voted against pdp. lets call it protest votes because of tthe propaganda n lies that were being churned out to the public on daily basis. so many people voted against jonathan becos of the bokoharam insurgency, others voted becos of free food being promised by apc, majoritu voted becosmof the promisemof 5000naira to every youths. but the high point was when kano, kwara, sokoto states left pdp n allied with apc.
lagos with 20million population n more voters couldnt even deliver up to 1.3million votes but kano with 7million population delivered more votes than lagos state, r u saying lagos citizens were fed up with elections when they were the ones preaching change but couldnt deliver d change?
or u r saying that cars reader could capture 1.3million people in kano within 30minutes when in cross river n other southern states we were battling with 100k plus in 2hrs?

You are still back to the question "does the inec guidelines super cede the electoral act solely recognised by the cinstitution"

the card reader made the difference bro, it could have been easier for the pdp to just write and record figures for those states you have mentioned which is what has been happening in the past. Only the card reader would have made a ruling party loose to the opposition. Now what pdp folks and their fans who hates the card readers are not realizing is that it would be so difficult for the pdp to capture abuja back again now that the card readers are no longer recognized. PDP will forever remain a regional party as the ruling party in abuja has finally be given the licence to write and record figures for themselves to remain in Abuja whether they perform or not.

The lawyers who opposed the card readers only did it for their fees, we need to strike a balance here, the card readers is what will give our political system a very vibrant opposition.

Exactly, I watched the Interview with Mike Igini and the main point he made was that we now have an electronic register which has made nonsense of the argument against card readers.

You don't have an electronic register and an electronic register is not the same as the voter register contained in the electoral act.

if pdp is relegated to a particular region n at the same time delivers dividends of democracy to its people, bros its 100percent okay by me.
even apc remain in the centre for 190yrs will it stop abokis to be trouping down south to be beggars?
will it make the region compete with the south east n south south iterms of education n development?
will it clear the almajiris that is a menace in the north? will the herdsmen from one particular tribe be civilise n think like humans n not beast?
abeg am from akwaibom n so far my state is pdp n we hv a vibrant n young energetic govr who is performing n working hard to deliver, to hell with the grandpa or senile oldman who leads the centre

You are blowing grammar here sir, we now have an electronic voters' register so the electoral act itself is now confusing, hence the reason many are calling for an amendment of the act to be in tandem with the current realities.

Is the "electronic voter register" recognised in the electoral act!

If the electronic voters register is not recognized by the the electoral act, then the supreme court should have nullified the entire election
