Nonsensical Post.

Do you think that anybody will intentionally want to raise their kids in a yard? Whether good or bad, Is this post not rubbing it in their faces?

DanOkonkwo:
Some persons has come to argue that raising kids in a public yard corrupts them to which I don't holistically agree to.

PoliticsRe: What The Candidates And Parties Must Do In The Upcoming Ekiti And Osun Elections by thegrinch(m): 6:30pm On May 02
WHO IS THIS ONE - JUST MAKING UNNECESSARY NOISE!!!

While some of these claims are partially accurate but contain significant overstatements, inaccuracies, and prescriptive interpretations that go beyond the actual text of the law.

Just like the Devil asking Eve: Did God say you cannot eat of ANY fruit in the Garden, same way this Olodo is mixing facts with lies and overstatements.

The Electoral Act 2026 exists (signed into law in February 2026 as amendments to the 2022 Act), and Section 60(3) addresses electronic transmission to the IREV portal. However, this Olodo's "immediate" appearance, automatic cancellation of polling units, elimination of any approval processes, and strict burdens on INEC are not fully supported by the law's wording.


This is the Exact Relevant Text from Electoral Act 2026, Section 60

(1) The Presiding Officer shall, after counting the votes at the polling unit, enter the votes scored by each candidate in a form prescribed by the Commission.
(2) The form shall be signed and stamped by the Presiding Officer and countersigned by the candidates or their polling agents where available at the polling unit.
(3) The Presiding Officer shall electronically transmit the results from each polling unit to IREV portal and such transmission shall be done after the prescribed Form EC8A has been signed and stamped by the Presiding Officer and/or countersigned by the candidates or polling agents where available at the polling unit.
Provided that if the electronic transmission of the result fails as a result of communication failure and it becomes impossible to transmit the result contained in Form EC8A..., the Form EC8A shall at all times remain the primary source of collation and declaration of the result.
(4) The Presiding Officer shall count and announce the result at the polling unit.
(5) The Presiding Officer shall transmit the results including total number of accredited voters to the next level of collation.
(6) A Presiding Officer who willfully contravenes any provision of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of not less than ₦500,000 or imprisonment for a term of not less than six months or both.


This is what is Accurate from the Noise oga posted:
* Presiding Officers (POs) must electronically transmit results (via BVAS, presumably) to the IREV portal after signing/stamping Form EC8A (and countersigning where agents are present). This is now a clearer statutory mandate than in the 2022 Act.

* There is an explicit exception for communication failure (e.g., network issues), in which case the physical signed Form EC8A is the primary source for collation/declaration.

* INEC can be called to explain issues (as with any election petition), and willful failure by a PO is now an explicit offense.
Ekiti and Osun off-cycle governorship elections are scheduled for 2026 (around June/July and August), so the new Act applies.

Inaccurate and overstated claims:

* "IMMEDIATELY" on IREV without ANY delays — The Act says "shall electronically transmit" but does not specify "immediately," "real time," or any strict timeframe (earlier drafts debated "real time" but the final version does not mandate it explicitly). N[b]o requirement that results "must appear" instantly while the PO is still at the unit. [/b] Transmission after signing is required, but practical delays (upload processing, server side, etc.) are possible.

* Automatic cancellation of polling units if transmitted but doesn't appear immediately — The Act does not say this. It prioritizes the signed EC8A in cases of failure. Tribunals/courts decide on evidence; non-appearance alone does not mandate cancellation. Polling units can be cancelled for overvoting or other specific reasons, but this scenario isn't automatic.

* Era of "controlling officer" (ward/RATECH) approval is gone — The Act does not explicitly eliminate backend approvals or processing steps. It mandates transmission by the PO but doesn't detail the full technical workflow or prohibit INEC systems from having verification layers.

* INEC must "prove" communication failures or face automatic fault — The proviso allows the exception. In petitions, INEC would need to justify reliance on manual results (as in past cases), but the law does not require real-time "establishment" during the election or automatic cancellation. Burden of proof in court is evidentiary, not a blanket rule.

* "Very clear and unambiguous" with no excuses — The language includes a clear proviso for communication failure, which the post acknowledges but then minimizes.

It is Human beings like this Noise maker that started the If protest goes on for 30 Days, "UN will intervene nonsense during the EndSars," that caused a lot of people to lose their lives because of misinformation


BluntCrazeMan:
In the upcoming Ekiti and Osun Elections, the candidates must fully prepare themselves to fully implement the dictates of the Section:60(3) of the newly enacted “Electoral Act 2026”.

..

The Electoral Act clearly mandated the Presiding Officer to transmit the results to the IREV Portal.
It simply means that after the Presiding Officer has SUCCESSFULLY finished transmitting the results at the polling unit (In Front of Everybody), that the same transmitted results SHALL appear IMMEDIATELY on the IREV Portal -- WITHOUT ANY DELAYS.
The Language of the Electoral Act in that section is very clear and unambiguous.

The Electoral Act did not give any possible excuses for delay, because there was not supposed to be any delays in the results appearing on the IREV Portal.

Therefore, If the Presiding Officer SUCCESSFULLY finished transmitting the results from the BVAS Machines, and IT DID NOT IMMEDIATELY APPEAR on the IREV Portal, then the agents of the candidates need to immediately note the name and id-number of that Polling Unit ==>> Because INEC must appear at the Tribunal/courts to explain why the Successfully Transmitted Results did not appear IMMEDIATELY on the IREV Portal, and such polling units must have to be cancelled.

..

..

Meanwhile, the only clause for excuse which the Electoral Act envisaged was only in such cases WHERE THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT EVEN WORK AT ALL from the Polling Units.
This only excuse which the Electoral Act envisaged was “Communication Failure” -- and I am going to explain more about that too.

What it means is that, if the Communication failure did not obstruct the transmission of results from such Polling-Units, then it should not also prevent the results from appearing immediately on the IREV Portal. But on the other hand, if the Presiding Officer Could Not SUCCESSFULLY complete the transmission of the results at the Polling Units, then the agents of the candidates need to also note the name of that Presiding Officer as well as the name and id-number of that Polling Unit ==>> Because INEC must appear at the Tribunal/courts to EXPLAIN THE CAUSE (OR THE CAUSES) of such communication failures at such Polling-Units which prevented the transmission of the results from being SUCCESSFUL at those Polling-Units AS MANDATED.

SUCH “COMMUNICATION FAILURES” CANNOT JUST BE ACCEPTED ON ASSUMPTIONS, OR JUST BECAUSE THEY SAID IT -- THE “COMMUNICATION FAILURES” MUST BE ESTABLISHED AND PROVEN BY THE INEC TO HAVE ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

IF INEC SAYS THAT THERE WERE “COMMUNICATION FAILURES” IN SOME POLLING-UNITS, THEN THEY MUST CLEARLY ESTABLISH THAT THESE “COMMUNICATION FAILURES” REALLY OCCURRED (AND ALSO ESTABLISH WHAT CAUSED THEM).

If they didn't establish reasons for these “Communication Failures” and their extents during the time the election was ongoing, then they must give deeper explanations during the election petition tribunals -- or else it would be counted as a fault against them, and such polling units will have to be cancelled.

This also clearly means that the era where everybody at the Polling-Units would have to wait for A PARTICULAR “CONTROLLING OFFICER” AT THE WARD (Or RATECH) to first approve the transmitted results first before it can appear on the IREV Portal has gone.
It is now a thing of the past.
We are now in the new era where the results must appear IMMEDIATELY on the IREV Portal -- while the Presiding Officer is still there present at the Polling Unit (without leaving the Polling Unit).

In the first instance, it was Tinubu who influenced his appointment by Kwakwanso when the last Emir died. I remember that the FG lead by Goatluck Jonathan already congratulated the other contestant then , Tinubu was on Kwakwanso's neck to appoint Sanusi Lamido Sanusi the pedophille because Tinubu wanted someone who would work assiduously again Jonathan's reelection being that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was at that time recently disgraced by Jonathan.

Unknown Igbo and yoruba actors feature in Hollywood blockbusters all the time. This right here is not news. It would've been news if they had been identifying with their roots like John Boyega or Chiwetel Ejiofor. These ones will not even mention Nigeria in any part of their biography. Stop all this famzing for the sake of tribalism. I'm sure that if they were Igbo, you would never have brought this yeye news to NL.

Nigeria is regressing daily and you're coming here to tell us about by force "Nigerians" who dont even identify as Nigerians.
You're the only problem I see here.

So, let's assume you're right that the post is meant to be tribalistic... which it is not, because The OP did not allude to them being from any tribe, He said NIGERIANS, so, it must be your inferiority complex that is making you twerk unnecessarily on the post

But let's even assume you're right, don't you think you're giving the poster attention by commenting? Can't you just ignore and Waka Pass?

Corruption is thriving
There is hunger in the country
There’s a lot of case of insecurity
Lives and properties are lost everyday

I don’t know if being Yoruba means you people don’t have sense automatically.
I will speak to you as a Yoruba Man, who has sense.
* First I will not insult you back, even if you have rubbished the whole Yoruba race

* Who's responsible for the price of goods in the market? FG or Traders? When they increased prices because of Dollar rate, are they not supposed to reduce it as the dollar falls? But you will not blame your trader colleagues, rather you'll blame the government... How wise!

* If you truly want a better nation, you will not be hounding News items and trolling on Nairaland. You will start by holding your LG Chairman and state governor accountable. They have received double the allocation since the fuel subsidy has been removed. They are the ones partially responsible for the hardship you face, not FG. Ask them what they've been doing with the extra allocation, instead on focusing on FG

The best way to reduce inflation is to

1. remove fuel subsidy
2. Float the naira
3. Increase electricity tariff
4. Keep shaking your wrists like a ghost

He's right, inflation is gone, we support him.
The funny thing is that If you remove Politics from the conversation, almost every Aspirant in the last elections including Obi would agree that these are solid steps toward getting the country back on track.

Of course, it would initially cause inflation, but in the end, things will even out.

However, because everybody is fighting for his own interest, they would shame Tinubu, so that they would look like better alternatives in the next elections.

Irrespective of the criminal activities and acts of the criminal judges, tinubu remains a drug dealer, a certificate forger , an identity criminal, a national, continental and global disaster.

Interestingly, the judges treating presidential petition also read articles like this one that Farooq A. Kperogi wrote and don't rule out the extent to which it will influence them.
