Boasting on things like this make me think people are not conscious of the coming of Jesus

Is that the solution or to sell it to the next occupants

This act is against the word and will of God. God condemn such act...

Know that 6 feets ends life here in earth is a great news. But knowing that there is judgement after death is also important.
How prepare are you for heaven? Hebrews 9:27

THE BEST RIGGER WINS ELECTION

Introduction

Elections are supposed to be a competition of ideas, policies, character and the confidence of the people. However, when electoral malpractice becomes widespread, the contest can gradually change from “Who has the support of the people?” to “Who is most capable of manipulating the electoral process?”

The provocative title, “The Best Rigger Wins Election,” can therefore be understood as a criticism of a political environment in which electoral manipulation, vote buying, intimidation, manipulation of results and abuse of state resources may give an unfair advantage to political actors. It is not a statement that election rigging is legitimate; rather, it exposes the danger of a system in which dishonest tactics can appear more rewarding than genuine popularity.

Understanding Election Rigging

Election rigging refers to deliberate actions intended to manipulate an election or its outcome. It can occur before, during or after voting.

Examples include:

- Vote buying and selling.
- Multiple voting or impersonation.
- Intimidation of voters.
- Destruction or unlawful removal of election materials.
- Manipulation of vote counting or results.
- False declaration or publication of election results.
- Preventing eligible voters from exercising their rights.
- Using political influence or public resources unfairly during elections.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) identifies various electoral offences and notes that violations of electoral laws can attract fines, imprisonment or both.

Why “The Best Rigger Wins” Is Dangerous

If citizens begin to believe that elections are won through manipulation rather than genuine votes, democracy suffers. Voters may lose confidence in elections and become discouraged from participating.

A candidate who believes that victory depends on money, intimidation, manipulation or connections may invest more effort in these activities than in presenting convincing policies to the electorate.

The result is a dangerous reversal of democratic values:

«The candidate with the best ideas should win, not the candidate with the best machinery for manipulating the system.»

The Nigerian Experience

Nigeria has continued to reform its electoral system in an effort to improve the credibility of elections. INEC's current guidelines are being aligned with the Electoral Act 2026, with the Commission stating that the reforms are intended to strengthen electoral integrity, party compliance and public confidence.

INEC also provides mechanisms for reporting election offences and states that polling-unit results should be displayed at the polling unit for public visibility.

These measures are important because a credible election requires more than simply conducting voting. The entire process—from voter registration and party primaries to campaigning, voting, counting, collation and declaration—must be sufficiently transparent to command public confidence.

The Role of Political Parties

Political parties have a major responsibility in preventing the culture described by the title.

Parties should select candidates based on competence, integrity, leadership ability and popular support rather than merely on financial strength or political connections.

They should also educate their supporters that electoral victory does not justify violence, vote buying, intimidation or manipulation.

The Role of Citizens

Citizens are equally important. Voters should:

1. Register and obtain the necessary voting credentials.
2. Study the candidates and their policies.
3. Reject vote buying.
4. Vote according to their conscience.
5. Avoid electoral violence.
6. Protect their votes through lawful observation and participation.
7. Report suspected electoral offences through appropriate channels.

Citizens should understand that selling a vote may provide a temporary benefit, but it can contribute to electing leaders who do not represent the long-term interests of the community.

The Role of INEC and Security Agencies

Electoral institutions must remain independent, professional and transparent. Election officials should apply the rules consistently, while security agencies should protect voters and election personnel without favouring any political party.

INEC's published election-day guidance prohibits activities such as campaigning around polling environments, intimidation, destruction of election materials and other forms of electoral misconduct.

The Way Forward

The solution to electoral malpractice is not to become a better “rigger.” The solution is to make rigging increasingly difficult, detectable and punishable.

Nigeria needs:

- Strong enforcement of electoral laws.
- Transparent result-management systems.
- Effective monitoring of campaign finance.
- Swift investigation and prosecution of electoral offences.
- Greater protection for voters and election officials.
- Stronger civic education.
- Responsible political leadership.
- Independent observation and credible auditing of electoral processes.
- Greater use of technology where it improves transparency without creating new vulnerabilities.

Conclusion

“The Best Rigger Wins Election” is a provocative title that exposes one of the greatest threats to democracy: the possibility that electoral manipulation can become more important than the genuine choice of voters.

But a healthy democracy must operate according to a different principle:

The best candidate should win—not the best rigger.

An election should be a contest in which citizens freely choose their leaders, votes are accurately counted, results reflect the will of the electorate, and losers accept defeat when the process is credible.

Nigeria's democratic future depends not only on having elections, but on having credible elections in which the people's votes genuinely matter.

Church should not be a place for political campaigns

Hmmmmm. This should be another fake news,

contention by proponents of that view to support their position. The said Section provides: “131. A person shall be qualified for election to the office of President if- (d)he has been educated up to at least school certificate level or itsequivalent.”

Candidates contesting election to other elective positions must also possess a similar qualification. This is in view of the prescription in other provisions of the Constitution that candidates to elective post must have been educated up to at least school certificate level or its equivalent. Section 177 (d) prescribes that candidates contesting election into the office of State Governor must have been educated up to at least School Certificate Level or its equivalent. By virtue of Section 142(2) and 187(2) the provisions on educational qualification of President and State Governors apply to Vice President and Deputy Governors respectively. Section 65(2) (a) and 106(c) of the Constitution prescribes that candidates contesting elections as National Assembly and State House of Assembly members respectively must also have been educated to at least School Certificate Level.

The food we eat every day may look harmless, but it can slowly harm the body if it is unhealthy or poorly prepared. Foods that are highly processed, overly sugary, salty, or full of artificial chemicals can build up problems over time.

When taken daily without balance, they may contribute to diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and heart problems. Even natural foods can become harmful if they are contaminated or not stored properly.

That is why it is important to eat fresh, balanced meals, drink enough water, and avoid excessive junk food. What we eat daily shapes our health more than we often realize.

Immorality in society does not arise from a single factor; it is usually the result of several personal, social, and environmental influences working together. Here are some key causes:

One major cause is poor moral upbringing at home. When children are not taught discipline, respect, and good values early in life, they may grow up without a clear sense of right and wrong.

Negative peer influence also plays a strong role. Friends can pressure individuals into bad habits such as lying, stealing, substance abuse, or sexual misconduct, especially when someone wants to “fit in.”

Another factor is exposure to harmful media content. Movies, music, social media, and websites that promote indecent behavior can gradually shape attitudes and normalize immorality.

Poverty and unemployment can also push some people into unethical actions as a means of survival or quick gain, especially when legitimate opportunities seem unavailable.

Weak enforcement of laws encourages immoral behavior. When people see that wrong actions are not punished, they may feel free to continue them.

There is also lack of strong religious and moral guidance, which can lead to a decline in personal values and self-control.

Finally, drug and alcohol abuse can reduce judgment and increase risky, immoral decisions.

The causes of insecurity in Nigeria are numerous and interconnected. Some of the major causes include:

1. Poverty and Unemployment

High levels of poverty and joblessness push many young people into crime, armed robbery, kidnapping, and insurgent groups.



2. Corruption

Mismanagement of public funds and weak governance reduce the government's ability to provide security, infrastructure, and social services.



3. Weak Security Institutions

Inadequate training, poor equipment, insufficient personnel, and limited funding affect the effectiveness of security agencies.



4. Ethnic and Religious Conflicts

Tensions among different ethnic and religious groups often lead to violence and communal clashes.



5. Terrorism and Insurgency

Groups such as Boko Haram and its factions have contributed significantly to insecurity, especially in northeastern Nigeria.



6. Political Instability and Electoral Violence

Political competition sometimes results in violence, thuggery, and the use of armed groups during elections.



7. Proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons

Easy access to illegal weapons increases criminal activities and violent conflicts.



8. Poor Education

Lack of quality education can lead to ignorance, radicalization, and limited employment opportunities.



9. Border Porosity

Nigeria's extensive and poorly monitored borders facilitate the movement of criminals, weapons, and insurgents.



10. Farmer-Herder Conflicts

Competition over land and water resources between farmers and herders has led to frequent violent clashes.



11. Drug Abuse and Cultism

Substance abuse and cult-related activities contribute to crime, violence, and social unrest.



12. Social Inequality and Marginalization

Perceived injustice, exclusion, and unequal distribution of resources can fuel grievances and conflict.




Effects of Insecurity in Nigeria

Loss of lives and property.

Reduced foreign and local investment.

Economic slowdown and unemployment.

Displacement of people (internally displaced persons).

Disruption of education and healthcare services.

Increased fear and reduced quality of life.


Possible Solutions

Job creation and poverty reduction programs.

Strengthening security agencies.

Fighting corruption.

Improving education.

Promoting national unity and dialogue.

Better border security.

Community policing and intelligence gathering.


In summary, insecurity in Nigeria is driven by economic, political, social, and security-related factors, and addressing it requires a comprehensive approach involving government, communities, and citizens.
