Madam take your L and go.

I have given you an assignment to fulfil.

Stop posting the bill of February when this thread is about the second time they passed the bill in July with key areas deleted.

First, you accused me of posting 2014 amendment. I refuted it then you quoted disputed sections in 2018 amendments that had nothing to do with Section 49.

Again, I brought your attention to the two new subsections (1) and (2) that were added to provide for the smart card reader and other technological devices in elections.

You finally shouted at me without providing a verifiable link to your claim that these amendments were deleted which you claimed previously never existed

I have already told you that what you thought was an amendment was not one. It was already there in 2015 electoral act. That was not the focus of PMB for rejecting it the first time it was passed.

They now took it back and tinkered with it, probably hoping that since PMB already saw the card reader was mentioned in the first one, he would just go straight to the areas he asked them to ammend so they ended up deleting certain crucial sections which could have also included the card reader usage especially since the lawmakers admitted to deleting certain sections despite PMB telling them to Ammend it and not delete it.

This was why PMB rejected it a second time and apparently, for the Presidency to now say the card readers was not included in the second bill transmitted to them in July. This means it must have been one of those deleted.

Use your head.

Now your assignment is to get me the one for July that shows it was not deleted rather than bringing to me the one from February.

You are one of the copy and paste people who never take time to understand anything before you copy and paste it. As long ad it appeals to your emotions you just spread the nonsense around.

Let me help you.

US National Debt - $21 Trillion - Debt to GDP 76%
UK National Debt - $2.3 Trillion - Debt to GDP 89%
China National Debt - $4.3 Trillion - Debt to GDP 41%
Nigeria National Debt - $73 Billion - Debt to GDP 21%

Debt is not the issue. It's what you do with it that's the issue.
Question is - If debt is rightly invested in infrastructure (that creates Capital Formation) or human capital (that keeps people alive & develop their skills and mental capacity), we'll be ok. If truth be told, a large Percentage of our National Debt was looted by the previous governments.

The conversation we should be having concerning our National Debt is
- Is it sustainable?
- What is it invested on?
- How much would those investments add to the GDP?
- When should we expect these ROI?

This government is committed to infrastructural awakening and is well on the course to achieving this with a time frame in mind after which we begin to get our ROI fast

These are some of the key indices that bring about an economical rating and yes as it stands now, Nigeria is the best economy in africa all thanks to this present Government which remained unwavering in the face of recession and maneuvered the nation out of those murky waters to the place where Forbes could now rate us as they have done.

Kudos to PMB and PYO.

They have denied the inclusion. NASS should confirm the inclusion by making the bill public.

Is that one hard again?

Please stop disturbing me with your wasted mentions and provide the July electoral bill.

In your foolishness you posted the first bill from February and even in that bill they did not ammend the original which was part of the 2015 electoral act but simply added to it according to you. Yet you claim that card readers were never part of the electoral act in 2015 despite the fact that 2015 elections employed the use of card readers.

I just commend your patience. Not to even utter a single word of insult to him is maturity. I also love all your assertions. You are quite correct. The 2015 amendment had no mention of a card reader, meaning its use them was not backed by law. If he had actually tried to carry out a little investigation he might have found out, instead he choose to prance around. As you rightly said, the onus is not even on him but the FG to prove that the aforesaid card reader was not in the bill sent to them.

I strongly believe that both the Presidency and NASS should make public the versions of the amendments in their possession, so that Nigerians will know who truly is saying the truth.

This is from the 2015 elections

Sections 49 and 52 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) had been subjected to legal debate in respect to the use of the card reader for the 2015 general elections. To some, the deployment of card readers for the accreditation of voters at the
elections tactically meant adoption of electronic voting, which the 2010 Electoral Act outlaws
(Oderemi, 2015). Section 49 states that:
(1) Every person intending to vote shall present himself to a Presiding Officer at the polling
unit in the constituency in which his name is registered with his voter‟s card. (2) The
Presiding Officer shall, on being satisfied that the name of the person is on the Register of
Voters, issue him a ballot paper, and indicate on the Register that the person has voted. Section
52 stipulates that: (1) Voting at an election under this Act shall be by open secret ballot. (2)
The use of electronic voting machine for the time being is prohibited. (3) A voter on receiving
a ballot paper shall mark it in the manner prescribed by the Commission. (4) All ballots at an election under this Act at any polling station shall be deposited in the ballot box in the open
view of the public.

In his contribution, Falana (2015) averred that the deployment of the card reader by INEC is
not illegal. He submitted that INEC has the constitutional power to set the standards and
guidelines for elections. In view of this, he argued that the card reader is part of accreditation
and not voting. He maintained that what the law proscribed is electronic voting and not the
card readers. Therefore, according to him the use of the card reader in the 2015 general
elections is legal and legitimate (cited in Oderemi, 2015).

The Society for Advancement and Protection of Public Rights (SAPPR) (2015), a civil society
in its submission argued that the deployment of the card reader is illegal because it is in
violation of Section 52 (1) of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended). SAPPR opined that the use
of the card reader for screening of voter cards or which has the effect of preventing a registered voter to vote is beyond the powers of INEC. As such, the civil society maintained that by virtue of Sections 77 (2) and 117 (2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) of Nigeria.

These were the legal arguments for and against the use of the card reader in 2015 of which inec won because their powers also covered any means they thought fit to be used for accreditation.

Some of you just talk carelessly.

Current Provision


Provides that persons intending to vote with their vote’s card must present themselves to a Presiding Officer at the polling unit where his name is registered- section 49(1)

However, the Presiding Officer will only issue him a ballot paper and indicate that he has voted on the register after confirming that his name is on the Register of Voters under section 49 (2).

2018 Amendment


Under the proposed section 49(1 a person must present himself with his voter’s card to a Presiding officer for accreditation at the polling unit where his name is registered.

2014 says intending to vote with voters card compared it with the 2018 amendment which states explicitly "must present a valid voters card"

2014 provision strictly based qualification to vote on voters registers which 2018 Amendment annulled by giving superemacy to "valid authenticated voters card"

Section 52 (2) - Conduct of polls in 2015 was to Conduct Polls by Open Secret Balloting , this provision was amended to give INEC the discretion to determine the procedure for polls and e-voting voting. Now, in 2018 Amendment it seeks to further amend the provision to mandate the Commission to conduct elections by electronic voting or any other method of voting as it may determine from time to time.

Madam what you are quoting is the first bill sent in Feb. From the screenshots you posted it is clearly stated Feb 2018. This first bill sent to the President was rejected because of NASS seeking to change the sequence of the election thereby overriding INECs power. They took it back and from the claim by the presidency have now remove the provisions for card reader from the first bill they submitted. In the hope that the presidency will not review the document in full. The onus is on the NASS to furnish us with the latest bill that was refused assent instead of media propaganda. Saraki and his cohorts are trying to undermine our electoral process. Let the NASS release a statement denying what Ita Enang has said. You cannot be crying more than the bereaved. Ensuring that the truth prevails should be our focus. So let's focus on the issue. Was the card reader included in the latest copy of the bill or not. Provide a verifiable document with dates that we can prove or provide a statement by the NASS that counters the presidency. Dont let these politicians play hanky panky with your emotions.

Every country is in debt. The problem is not the debt. The issue is WHAT IS THIS DEBT USED FOR?

Get that into your emotionally thick skull.

Its like a businessman who wishes to grow his business but lacks the financial ability and goes to someone who can fund it.

If he gets the funding and instead of putting it where it should be put per his business, he chooses to eat it. He is further impoverishing himself.

But if he actually uses it for the right thing, his business will boom and he would in turn be able to pay back the funding but with an already booming business.

Debt is good when utilized for what it was taken for and not looted. Looting was what the previous governments did with our debt which is why we have never gone forward as a nation despite all the borrowing.

I cannot see any where it was stated that the National Assembly removed the inclusion of card reader.

Buterflyle0:


This is from the 2015 elections

Sections 49 and 52 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) had been subjected to legal debate in respect to the use of the card reader for the 2015 general elections. To some, the deployment of card readers for the accreditation of voters at the
elections tactically meant adoption of electronic voting, which the 2010 Electoral Act outlaws
(Oderemi, 2015). Section 49 states that:
(1) Every person intending to vote shall present himself to a Presiding Officer at the polling
unit in the constituency in which his name is registered with his voter‟s card. (2) The
Presiding Officer shall, on being satisfied that the name of the person is on the Register of
Voters, issue him a ballot paper, and indicate on the Register that the person has voted. Section
52 stipulates that: (1) Voting at an election under this Act shall be by open secret ballot. (2)
The use of electronic voting machine for the time being is prohibited. (3) A voter on receiving
a ballot paper shall mark it in the manner prescribed by the Commission. (4) All ballots at an election under this Act at any polling station shall be deposited in the ballot box in the open
view of the public.

In his contribution, Falana (2015) averred that the deployment of the card reader by INEC is
not illegal. He submitted that INEC has the constitutional power to set the standards and
guidelines for elections. In view of this, he argued that the card reader is part of accreditation
and not voting. He maintained that what the law proscribed is electronic voting and not the
card readers. Therefore, according to him the use of the card reader in the 2015 general
elections is legal and legitimate (cited in Oderemi, 2015).

The Society for Advancement and Protection of Public Rights (SAPPR) (2015), a civil society
in its submission argued that the deployment of the card reader is illegal because it is in
violation of Section 52 (1) of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended). SAPPR opined that the use
of the card reader for screening of voter cards or which has the effect of preventing a registered voter to vote is beyond the powers of INEC. As such, the civil society maintained that by virtue of Sections 77 (2) and 117 (2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) of Nigeria.

These were the legal arguments for and against the use of the card reader in 2015 of which inec won because their powers also covered any means they thought fit to be used for accreditation.

Some of you just talk carelessly.

Here is link to the rubbish the propaganda your APC government released recently. - https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/electoral-act-amendment-bill-card-reader-tool-for-credible-polls-presidency/

I cannot see any where it was stated that the National Assembly removed the inclusion of card reader. The gentle lady you accused of posting a wrong Bill humbly asked you to provide all of us with the version that removed the card reader but instead of you doing that you keep going on and on about something else. Everything is not politics. If you know more than us, please post the correct version. We are ready to learn but if you cannot provide us with what you alledge to be the correct version, then it may be better for you to abstain from helping your APC with more lies that is easily detected.

Those who drafted it aka NASS know how they drafted it.

How can the Presidency show you what it did not draft? They can only tell you why they rejected it.

The ones who drafted it should provide proof that they included it as the originators of the draft.

If I pay you money from my account and you deny it, will the court be asking you to show proof of what you say you did not receive or would they be asking me for proof of what I sent to you?

Use your head and not your feet to think.

Your PDP as they did in 2015 are trying to truncate the use of card readers.
