https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0WsJAkk5m4 The governor of Anambra state with his wife and six children came out at their hometown to celebrate 30 years of marriage. It came with surprises to people especially of the fact that it’s unraveled the numbers of children and related family

We will vote leaders who would find out the root causes of the banditry, and solve these causes, and watch them get back to normal hardworking human-beings.

Einterest: Hi guys, so about three weeks back an uncle of mine was kidnapped on his way to Rivers state. The family went to the length and width of the world to raise 5 million naira. Upon his release and his return back home he was narrating his experience, mehn it was terrible. So he mentioned something that has been bothering me, he said in the vehicle, there was a lady and her 2 daughters. He said the kidnappers took turns rapping them( the mum and her two kids). They also collected 5m from that family. Till now that's what is disturbing my mind even more than the kidnapping of my uncle. Cause I can't begin to imagine the trauma that helpless family has been through.
I don't understand how wicked people can be. You kidnapped people asked for ransome and still did this.
Note: Family went to the police station to report the kidnap, to be specific rumokoro police station and was told they would track them down that no body should pay any ransome. But that was only what the police said. And they were very non-chalant about it, now imagine that family being told that with that stupid attitude of the police.
I just decided to share this so people understand what others are going through. I begin to wonder are we mad in this country, how can a human being do this.
We Just Need Peter Obi.
The Security of this Country will turn towards positive for good.

So, according to this section, if a political party sends thugs to prevent BVAS from being used in a particular polling unit where they believe their opponent will have an edge over them, INEC will help that political party to declare that unit zero votes?
That's a question I continued to ask.
The “Zero Votes” rule,, is it not tantamount to disenfranchisement..??
Isn’t it better that they “Cancelled” the concerned Polling-Units rather than crediting “Zero Votes” to them?

Excerpts from the INEC’s most-recently released “Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections”, with regards to OVER-VOTING, and VIOLENCE AT ELECTIONS,.
Section-40: Where the total number of votes cast at a Polling Unit exceeds the number of accredited voters at the Polling Unit, the result of the election for that Polling Unit shall be declared null and void, and a report in that regard shall be made to the Collation Officer.
56: Where an election is declared null and void in one or more Polling Units for over voting in line with Clause 39(Clause-40) of these Regulations and Guidelines, another date shall be fixed for supplementary election in the affected Polling Units and returns for the affected constituencies shall not be made until polls are conducted in the affected Polling Units.
57: Where the total number of voters who collected their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) in the Polling Units where over voting occurred is less than the margin by which the leading candidate is ahead of the second candidate, indicating that the outcome of the election will not be affected by the supplementary election, the Returning Officer shall make a return and a declaration.
58: Where an election is postponed as a result of serious breach of the peace or natural disasters or other emergencies in line with Section 24 of the Electoral Act 2022, returns for the affected constituencies shall not be made until polls are conducted in the affected Polling Units.

60: Where an election is postponed in one or more Polling Units due to the non-replacement of faulty BVAS in line with Section 47(3) of the Electoral Act 2022, a new election shall be scheduled within 24 hours and a return for the concerned constituency shall not be made until polls are conducted in the affected Polling Units.
61: Where an election is postponed in one or more Polling Units due to the non-replacement of faulty BVAS in line with Section 47(3) of the Electoral Act 2022 and it is ascertained that the total number of voters who collected their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) in the Polling Units affected by the postponement is less than the margin by which the leading candidate is ahead of the second candidate in the election, indicating that the result of the election will not be affected by the outcome of polls in the Polling Units affected by the postponement, the Returning Officer shall make a return for the election in the constituency.
62. Where the margin of lead between the two leading candidates in an election is NOT in excess of the total number of voters who collected their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) in Polling Units where elections are postponed, voided or not held in line with Sections 24(2 & 3), 47(3) and 51(2) of the Electoral Act 2022, the Returning Officer shall decline to make a return for the constituency until polls have been conducted in the affected Polling Units and the results collated into the relevant forms for Declaration and Return. This is the Margin of Lead Principle and shall apply wherever necessary in making returns for all elections in accordance with these Regulations and Guidelines.
96: Rejection, cancellation or voiding of any result shall be strictly in accordance with the Electoral Act and these Regulations and Guidelines and must be recorded in the appropriate Form EC40G.
100: The following responses and procedures shall be used in managing the issues identified in this Clause during elections and collation of results, particularly in determining where supplementary elections may hold in line with the “Margin of Lead Principle”:
(i) Where the Commission is unable to deploy to Polling Units because of logistic challenges, a date for a supplementary election shall be announced.
(ii) Where there is wilful obstruction or resistance to the distribution of electoral materials or where there is resistance to the use of the BVAS or any electoral device deployed by the Commission, the affected Polling Units shall be credited with zero votes during collation and shall not count in the application of the Margin of Lead principle.
(iii) Whenever zero votes are entered or elections are rescheduled, Collation and Returning Officers shall ensure that the number of voters in the affected Polling Units are accounted for in compiling their results in order to prevent discrepancies in the figures for registered voters in the Register of Voters and the figures as collated.
(iv) Where the use of the BVAS is discontinued midway into the elections due to sustained malfunction and no replacement is available before 2:30pm or any extended period for voting approved by the Commission, a time for a supplementary election shall be announced.
(v) Where the Commission determines that violent disruptions occurred in a substantial number of Polling Units in a constituency before the announcement of result, a fresh date for election in the affected Polling Units may be announced by the Commission, provided that further supplementary election may not hold in the case of persistent disruptions and violence.
(vi) Where a violent disruption occurs after announcement of results and ballot papers and result sheets are destroyed, regenerate the affected results from electronically transmitted results, or results from the IReV Portal or duplicate hardcopies, fill new replacement result sheets with the approval of the Resident Electoral Commissioner and proceed with collation of result.
(vii) Where result sheets are snatched or destroyed before they arrive at Collation Centres, regenerate the affected results from electronically transmitted results, or results from the IReV Portal or Duplicate Hardcopies, fill new replacement result sheets with the approval of the Resident Electoral Commissioner and proceed with collation of result.
(viii) Where balloting materials are still available or remaining after disruption at any stage of the election, proceed with available materials and conclude that stage of the election. However, where materials are inadequate, a new date will be announced by the Commission to conclude the election.
The Electoral Act 2022 Did Not mention “ZERO VOTES”. The Electoral Act was totally silent about allotting “Zero Votes” to any Polling-Unit, for any reason whatsoever... But the INEC’s most-recently released “Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Elections” actually mentioned crediting “Zero Votes” to some Polling-Units that Committed some specified Election-Materials and BVAS-related offences, and that is, in Section-100: (ii)..
Section-100: The following responses and procedures shall be used in managing the issues identified in this Clause during elections and collation of results, particularly in determining where supplementary elections may hold in line with the “Margin of Lead Principle”: ... ... ... (ii) Where there is wilful obstruction or resistance to the distribution of electoral materials, or where there is resistance to the use of the BVAS or any electoral device deployed by the Commission, the affected Polling Units shall be credited with zero votes during collation and shall not count in the application of the Margin of Lead principle. ... (iii) Whenever zero votes are entered or elections are rescheduled, Collation and Returning Officers shall ensure that the number of voters in the affected Polling Units are accounted for in compiling their results in order to prevent discrepancies in the figures for registered voters in the Register of Voters and the figures as collated.
Thus, if someone tries to analyse the above offence properly, one may easily agree and conclude that: “LOCALISED OR TARGETED VIOLENCE THAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE ELECTION (OR DURING THE ELECTION) WOULD QUICKLY BE TRANSLATED AS “OBSTRUCTION”, WHICH DEFINITELY WOULD EXTEND TO ALSO MEAN “OBSTRUCTION TO THE USE OF BVAS”, AND THEREFORE, CAN CAUSE THE POLLING-UNIT TO BE CREDITED WITH “ZERO VOTES”, AND THAT ALSO MEANS THAT: “NO MORE SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTIONS WOULD BE CONDUCTED IN SUCH ‘ZERO-VOTES’ POLLING-UNITS”..
.. “Zero Votes” is totally different from Cancelled Polling-Units.. It is also totally different from Rejected/Voided Votes that were cast in a Polling-Unit... .. “Zero Votes” simply means that: “Election Was Held in the Polling-Unit, but then, there are Actually “ZERO” Persons from the concerned Polling-Unit who came out on the Election Day,, and thus, Zero persons were ACCREDITED in the Polling-Unit, and therefore, Zero Persons Voted.” And according to Booblacain:
booblacain: Maybe it is me that do not understand the english here.
So, according to this section, if aan [evil-minded] political party sends thugs to prevent BVAS from being used in a particular polling unit where they believe their opponent will have an edge over them, INEC will help that [evil-minded] political party to declare that unit zero votes?
An Evil-minded Political Party might use this rule against an opponent-party’s stronghold.
buygala: It's all good until their kids get teased by their peers that their parents hooked up via toilet sex on live TV
And it gets worse when the kids are shown the live video of the deed
And it gets far worse when their grandkids and great grandkids see the video of their ancestors toilet frolicking on live TV..
A eternal caricature made of an entire lineage due to the silliness of two people because sadly, the Internet never forgets
And if they told their own story to their kids, (and from another point of view entirely which painted a picture of “Not all mistakes are damning”),, then, that would solve everything.
Recover the brain of your child from the senselessness of the mob, and you have your kid back and stronger
masterblessed: Internationally recognized singer, Wizkid Balogun, announces free show performance while clarifying his statement about having a final show in Lagos in 2022.
It would be recalled that the singer once made the announcement that his December show in Lagos would be his last.
During his concert on Christmas Eve, Wizkid eased the tension in the air by stating his actual intention.
According to Wizzy, he meant it in a good way and because of his love for Lagos fans, he intends to give them a free show henceforth.
In his words, “I have to start finishing my statements cos dem dey misquote me. What I really meant was, with the kind of love you all show me; it is very unfair to do shows around the world and come back to make you guys pay to wacth me. I wanna make a promise tonight; this will be the last time you will pay to see me.”
They will quickly rush fast-fast now, and find any news at-all of how Peter-Obi and the workers in Anambra related in any way that is not so good. And push to front-page
